She is still going well. She hasn't really bulked up a lot. She started a nother run on stigma production. That means more bud production/ density. She is still getting nutes for this week and then I'm going to start my flush next week. I need at least 27 grams to enter in to the harvest cup and I think that's all she might produce. I broke out the microscope, her trichromes are still predominantly clear so she still has some time. I'm going for a 20-30 amber percentage.

Been an awesome week 😎 Lots of things going on last week.. We started LST, made a few adjustments, gave the ladies a haircut, and further refined the nutes👍 Looking forward to seeing some signs of flowering this week. 🙏 I had believed that I was a man of patience 😅 Stay tuned for pics and videos throughout the week.🙌 Happy Growing! 🤙💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚🤙

La Spider Farmer SF2000 continua a tenere a far crescere le ragazze con un ottima luce e spero di riuscire a vedere qualche colorazione tra non molto…la maggior parte dei problemi nella coltivazione della Cannabis deriva da un terreno poco drenante e da troppa 🚿 acqua quando le diamo da bere…bisogna sempre ricordarsi di alzare i vasi e vedere quanto pesano e se c’è bisogno, smuovere la terra un po’ con le mani attorno alla pianta

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Have fun with the update. Hey everyone ☺️. This week she has developed beautifully 😍👍. No training was done this week but next week all drives will be topped :-). It was poured once with 1 l, which is enough at the beginning because the humidity is very high 👍. I wish you all the best and have fun 🙏🏻

I should have had a lot better harvest but because I was away for 12 days the pH and ppm's got messed up. As well as 1 day of the air pump being off after I got back resulted in the start of root rot. Will grow this strain again for sure!

Have had a battle with these ladies from thieves , powdery mildew , and now bud rot. These pictures are from my lowest branches on the plan and let’s just say I’m already going to get roughly 6 oz or more just from two of the lowest branches. The rest of the plant is starting to take off and flower should be done in about 2 kore weeks or so 😁 overall I’m pretty happy with my ladies as they’re just hitting 12 feet 🤯

Excited and impatient, starting to come on really well now, everything is going ok as it has been all the way through other than a little struggle with keeping the heat down in the grow tent during the first few weeks in veg, bigger tent and all is ok now, small signs of nutrient burn of a feed this week but don't think anything to be worried about from other diaries i have seen. What do you think its going like so far? Any comments with feedback on how its looking or tips for me coming into my final weeks appreciated thanks,, Plant A is at 121cm tall Plant B is at 143cm tall

Finally the cold front has arrived and temps dropped considerably into comfortable levels 22-26 which are perfect for flowering. You can have high temps if you have enough fans blowing at the plant buzt the increčased perspiration can kill your plants through a nutrient burn as they have to take up more water from the res.

🌱 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. 🌱💚

Alright, so I flipped her a couple days ago and she's staying in the big tent for obvious reasons... this should be a big girl... Now i've kept her in veg for longer than the dots say, but she has not been lacking anything , but if she starts asking for stuff, I will have it for her.. i still have some green sensation for late flower, as well as some other bloom boosters, and if she needs nitrogen, I got her there too, but I have a feeling she's not gonna need much aside from a tea here and there... I'm looking forward to this one... Really hoping I pull at least 10 oz... Hope everyone is doing well.God bless and happy growing 🙏

Que pasa familia, ya estamos de nuevo y actualizamos la segunda semana 😘 La verdad que están creciendo bien pronto tendremos que trasplantar para corregir la altura. El Ph Lo tenemos controlado en 6.2 y poco a poco van tirando. Todavía no echamos nada de productos Pronto bajaremos la altura del foco también. Esta variedad de @zambezaseeds no pinta mal familia 🙈

Hi ✌️🌱 Es ist soweit, sie ist fertig ✨️ Alles in allem bin ich mit diesem Grow mehr als zufrieden 🙌 Es gab keine größeren Komplikationen, abgesehen von ein paar Mal etwas zu viel Wasser 💦, aber das hat die Kleine richtig gut weggesteckt. Zum Schluss wurde es von unten zwar etwas kühl ❄️, doch das hat sie absolut nicht interessiert 😄 Der Geruch hat sich gegen Ende nochmal leicht in die gasige Richtung entwickelt ⛽️, ist dabei aber trotzdem sehr süß und extrem aufdringlich geblieben 🍬🌸 Bei der Ernte liefen 3 AKFs auf voller Leistung, und trotzdem hat das ganze Haus nach ihr gerochen 😅 Mit dem Ertrag hätte ich in einem 9-Liter-Topf wirklich nicht gerechnet 🤯 Die Buds sind super klebrig, brutal fest und ordentlich schwer 💪🔥 Abschließend kann ich nur sagen: Es hat richtig Spaß gemacht 😍 Definitiv nicht der letzte Steckling vom Verein aber fürs Erste bin ich bestens versorgt für diese Session 🌿 Ich freue mich jetzt schon auf die nächste Runde 😎 Alle Mengen über 49,9 g werden selbstverständlich umgehend nach CanG-Vorschriften entsorgt 😉 Danke für eure Aufmerksamkeit und bis zum nächsten Mal ✨️✌️💚🍀

“The Thrown” which is my tallest plant gave me some issues this week due to the fact that I had to suppress the plant because of the height. Broke a few branches that I had to tape up which is not a problem. I break branches on the regular around here purposely for growth 😈. Heavy rain this week, so I had to watch out for humidity issues, which I took care of. On top of that my basement flooded, had to break out the water pump. This transition week i’m glad I was able to have more time at home to monitor my plants. Hey guys sorry I’m not on here all the time if you like more pictures follow me on my Instagram a bigbankbossshit. I believe the link is at the top. They are about to be some really awesome pictures I’m hoping in the near future. With the six strains I’m sure to Jane some awesome pictures. So follow me on Instagram.
