D 44 Beautiful pre-flower, week two. Fan leaves are palm-sized. Keeping growth in check with rubber bands — bending tops down once or twice a week. Just got BioBizz RootJuice for the roots. Still fine to add it during pre-veg — watering with 2 ml/l once a week. Everything else follows the Simplex Coco schedule. How I mix my solution in the AquaPot (15 l): Start with 13 l of RO water, then add in order: CalMag — 1 ml/l SilicX — 0.25 ml/l (wait a minute after CalMag) Simplex Coco A and B — pre-diluted in separate 1-litre bottles (30 ml Part A in one bottle, 30 ml Part B in the other), 2 ml/l total Simplex PK Boost — 1 ml/l Simplex Taste — 1 ml/l Simplex Aroma Punch — 1 ml/l Simplex Fulvic Gold — 1 ml/l Simplex pH Down — 1 ml/l Let it sit for a few hours with the air stone running before watering. Noticed slime building up on the air stone after just 4 days. Simplex Taste and Aroma Punch might be worth adding separately from the main solution. Day 47 Plants are developing actively in week two of pre-flower. Every two weeks I bend and spread the branches out — it slows vertical growth and helps them fill the tent more evenly. Visually they look great, no deficiencies.

Whats up BUD! did some mild trimming and training on lower branches and fan leafs. These ladies have stretched more then 6 inches this week and the bud sites are coming alive

Extremely disappointed with the yield but that is my mistake by keeping this 100% indica from getting bushier and expecting it to stretch more. Definitely many lessons learned this grow. Going to add weekly flushes with beneficials in my next grow schedule from now on.

1/25/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 1- took 2 Tops today and cleaned up a few lower leaves that were hanging down. The FiM seems to have worked well and looks like I have three branches coming in where it was FiMed. 1/26/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 2- took 2 Tops from the sides and took a little of the foliage that was touching the lid. She seems to be doing very well.. Water change day tomorrow.. YAY!! will get a good picture of the roots and see how she is doing. 1/27/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 3- Water Change Day! I noticed a slight red coming in on the STEMS which I added a pinch of EPSOM salt to help correct. I added 36 Gallons of Water I added the following Nutes: Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal= 187Mil FloraGro= 3.8Mil/Gal= 137Mil FLoraBloom= 3.0Mil/Gal= 108Mil ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil EPSOM- 1 big pinch 1/28/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 4- I cleaned her up just a little bit on stuff hanging down. I also made sure the PH is balanced so she could soak up the New Nutes. 1/29/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 5- I Got sick, Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/30/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 6- I was still to sick to go to my grow room... Possibly food poisoned.. Luckily for me the system was able to do what it do and hold it down until I was feeling better. 1/31/2024 Vegetation Week 3 Day 7- First day back.. Her PH was down to 5.72 so I raised the PH back up closer to 6.0, I took a few pictures and got her height.. Feeling better through prayer so was able to get some pics today.

day 9: the roots start to come out of the netpot slowly (see picture) the water level is 1 inch under the netpot, the bubbles make the roots wet. nothinh much to do here just waiting for water change. the ph has gone up to 6.0 maybe because of the rockwool touching the water when the water level was higher. in the next days i expect the roots to go in the water day 11 (december 15) roots com trough net and i did water change with double strength (507ppm) calmag to around 200 and 100ppm of each three part bottle

🌱 Week 4 - Black Diamond Auto - Plant A 8×8 Adventure | Learning What Nature Wants to Teach Another week has passed inside the 8×8 Adventure, and every day reinforces why this project is so exciting. Unlike traditional autoflower grows, every plant in this room was germinated directly under a 12/12 light schedule. There was never a long vegetative period waiting before flowering. Instead, each plant has had to build its entire structure while already living under flowering conditions. It is a technique that fascinates me because it reveals just how different every individual phenotype can be. Some decide to begin flowering almost immediately. Others invest precious time building roots and branches before finally committing to reproduction. That is exactly why every plant receives its own diary. This week belongs to Black Diamond Auto - Plant A. ⸻ 🌿 A Completely Different Personality While several sisters have already started showing obvious flowering characteristics, this lady had other plans. Instead of rushing toward bloom, she kept investing energy into building herself. The result is becoming obvious. She is developing into one of the strongest structural plants inside the room. Long internodes. Strong branches. Excellent vigor. Beautiful symmetry. She almost seems to be saying, “I’m not in a hurry… I’m building something worth waiting for.” Sometimes the slow starters end up becoming the biggest surprises. ⸻ 🌱 Why Growing Under 12/12 Is So Interesting One thing I always enjoy explaining is why this project exists in the first place. Most growers veg their plants for several weeks before switching lights to 12/12. Here, the challenge is completely different. The plants experience flowering light from the day they emerge. That means every single day matters. Every root developed… Every leaf produced… Every branch formed… …is competing against the plant’s internal biological clock. Watching each phenotype decide how it responds to that pressure is one of the most educational parts of this entire adventure. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle Training Instead of Force This week continued with very gentle Low Stress Training. Rather than forcing dramatic bends or aggressive shaping, I’m simply helping light reach every future flowering site. Leaf tucking. Soft branch positioning. Small adjustments every day. Sometimes even gently bending large fan leaves out of the way instead of removing them. At this stage every healthy leaf is still acting like a solar panel, producing energy for everything that comes next. The goal isn’t to force the plant into a shape. The goal is to guide her while allowing genetics to express themselves naturally. ⸻ 💧 A New Chapter Begins: AutoPot Time One of the biggest milestones this week is that Plant A has officially graduated into the AutoPot system. This is something I’ve been looking forward to throughout the entire grow. For anyone unfamiliar with AutoPots, they are a completely passive self-watering system. There are no pumps. No timers. No electricity controlling irrigation. Instead, everything revolves around one incredibly clever little device called the AquaValve. The AquaValve constantly monitors the water level inside the tray beneath the pot. As the plant drinks, the tray empties. Only then does the AquaValve automatically open, allowing fresh nutrient solution to refill the tray before closing again. This creates a natural wet-and-dry rhythm while giving the roots constant access to perfectly oxygenated nutrient solution whenever they need it. The plant decides when to drink. Not me. It’s a beautiful example of letting nature control the schedule. ⸻ 🔬 Why This Is Such A Fun Experiment Even more interesting… Plant A won’t be alone for long. The current plan is to compare her performance against another Black Diamond that may remain outside the AutoPot system. Same genetics. Same room. Same environment. Different irrigation method. It’s still early, so I won’t draw any conclusions yet, but this comparison could become one of the most educational parts of this entire project. Sometimes the best lessons come from simply letting the plants answer the questions for us. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues running very consistently. Environment • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 33°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 63% • ⚡ EC: 1.35 • pH: 6.1 • 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm • 💦 Solution Temperature: 26°C Even with the warmer daytime temperatures, the plants continue showing healthy metabolism and vigorous growth. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This Week Current nutrient program: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L The feeding remains intentionally balanced. No need to chase high EC values while the plant is still investing heavily into structural growth. Healthy roots first. Strong stems second. Flowers will come naturally. ⸻ 🌱 Looking Ahead By the end of the week, she’s finally beginning to show the first signs that flowering is approaching. Nothing explosive yet. Just those subtle little changes every grower loves spotting: slightly tighter node spacing… new vertical growth… the first hints that she’s preparing to transition. Considering the structure she’s already built, I have a feeling she could become one of the larger plants in this room. Only time will tell. And that’s half the fun. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts One of my favourite things about this hobby is that every plant writes its own story. We provide the environment. The nutrition. The light. The care. But ultimately, genetics decide how the story unfolds. Plant A is teaching patience. She’s showing that not every plant needs to sprint into flower to become something special. Sometimes building a strong foundation is the smartest strategy of all. I’m excited to see what she becomes over the next few weeks. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, thank you to everyone following this journey. To GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document and learn together. To Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these ladies thriving. To FOG LEDs for delivering the photons that fuel every new leaf. To Zamnesia and the talented breeders behind these wonderful genetics. To every grower who leaves a comment, shares advice, asks questions, celebrates the victories, or learns from the mistakes. To the silent readers following along from around the world. To the supporters. To the critics. To the old friends. To the new ones joining every week. Thank you for being part of this adventure. Growers Love and see you all next week. 🌱💚

I cut them down the night before the open houses started. The White Widow looks really good. I put them in darkness for 72 hrs, then cut and hung the whole plant, then wet trimmed hung for 18 hrs/day and put in paper bags for about 6 hrs/day for 4 days with a fan oscillating close by. Then in bags for one day, now they've been dry trimmed and put in jars. 50g for the White Widow and it looks great. I can't wait to smoke some.

here we are for the SSSC contest grow update. 14.06.2024 the two murphys sister grow well in their new soil. the litlle flowering one slowly get chunkier and the stunt one finally wake up and stretch nicelly ( she could be a chalenger) 18.06.2024 3 day of canicule have been annonce at 9h00 am the outside temp have reach 29°C, the room temp is at 33° and the grow tent is at 36°. to avoid any over heat stress to the sister they have been set outdoor for the heat wave. 20.06.2024 the outside temp hit 38°c today can t imagine how high it may have reach in the grow tent. The murphy sister really like the sun light the stunt one just grow 2 inch per day, she is now 3 time bigger then is sister... unfortunatelly she have been snap , almost unroot, by my neighbor dog. try to fix her best as i can. 21.06.2024 thunder storm alert today so the sun therappy is finish anyone return back to the growtent, the snaped sister look okay. maybe i will rescue her an other time. 22.06.2024 the injured sister look really bad this morning. and passed out by the end of the day. she haved been set to dried, the terps is so amazing, kind of a woody sun ripped cherry crumble. 04.07.2024 the RIP murphys sister is dry, she gave me 1g of tinny fluffy bud sticky like hell and smelling like heavent

📆 Semana 9 El cultivo entra en su fase pre-final, con los cogollos prácticamente formados y alcanzando un alto nivel de dureza y peso. La compactación es muy notable en toda la canopia, mientras los cálices terminan de hincharse, aportando ese último empuje antes del cierre definitivo. La resina sigue aumentando y cubre completamente las flores, con tricomas mayoritariamente lechosos y una presencia de ámbar aún moderada, indicando que la maduración está avanzada pero todavía con un pequeño margen antes del punto óptimo de corte. La planta comienza a reducir ligeramente su actividad, manteniendo aún una buena absorción, pero enfocándose ya en afinar calidad, densidad y expresión aromática. El aroma se intensifica y se vuelve más profundo y definido, mostrando ya gran parte de su perfil final, aunque aún puede evolucionar un poco más. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Flowering day 11 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The first days of this week it looked really terrible for me because it was much too cold because of the unusual temperature. The heating mat has now also arrived for the big tent and lo and behold the plants have been developing really well since that day ☺️👍. The temperature doesn't keep quite as well as in the small box, but at least I don't get below 18 degrees in the pots at night anymore, even though it's only 16 at the top 😅👍. Since I switched to flowering, it was time to rinse off a bit with Clean Fruits :-) . Did them a lot of good. You have already received the first watering with Grow Liquid and the next in a mix with Bloom Liquid 😀👍. Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked.
