some sugar starts to shown

Something tried to nibble on Plant B, however there are no signs of pests and no further damage anywhere else (I have 6 other plants in the garden too). Plant A has already begun to develop stipules on its first set of true leaves too! Had their first feed on day 14 (2ml Fish Mix + 0.1ml Mono-silicic Acid), and were fed again on day 16 (2ml Fish Mix, 2ml Bio-Grow, 2ml Bio-Bloom, 0.1ml Mono-Silicic Acid).

Nov 29: They seem to be accelerating in veg growth but I see a small portion of the leaf on the smaller plant either grew in mutated or somthing cut it, I haven’t seen a single bug in the box so I don’t think it’s that but you never know, and the bigger plant has some issues near the base of its stem, I noticed it before I did the LST and now I’m wondering if I should have addressed that issue before starting the LST. Let me know what you guys think! Dec 2: Walked into the room and noticed a faint smell, wasn’t any smell last night when I started the LST on the slower girl. Further inspection showed some white pistols on the bigger girl, I believe she is the culprit for the smell as the other seems about a week behind. They are both now LST‘d and leaf tucked. Enjoy the pics and vid’s! Dec 6: I have tied down some of the longer chutes on the bigger plant (will see in week 5 update) to create more airflow and light penetration as I didn’t even realize how bushy the stem and node sections had gotten. I have also cut the chutes coming off the first true leaf. I don’t think I will make any cuts to the smaller one as it’s already a slower growing pheno. Going on a trip starting the end of week secede to late week 8, so I have a automatic feeder coming from Amazon, and I will continue using it through flower to reduce open tent time.

ZTRAWBERRIEZ and Gorilla Punch don't need much longer. In this week the pistols all were coloured in orange. The buds did their bulk perfectly. We got temps +30 degrees so in the greenhouse there Are +40 degrees. The following week should get cold and rainy. ZKITTELZ needs a little more time but also is doing good.

High GD community, Week 12, Haze doing very good. Her sativa genes push her to grow big. But the stems are a bit thin. Hst and LST will help those branches get more solid. She had a hard time in the beginning of her life, but now she is definitly on the good flow. Thats it for this week boys and girls, Thanks for reading and passing by and 💚💚💚👏👏👏👍👍👍 for Marshydro leds.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 9 | Beast Mode Activated 💎🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Okay... I think we're officially allowed to say it now. This girl is a beast. Not just a beast. One of the bestiest in the room. Is bestiest a real word? Probably not. Do I care? Absolutely not. 😂💎 Because Black Diamond Auto Pheno A has entered another level of flower development, and every time I look at her, I find myself thinking the same thing: What the hell are you building? She's big. She's loaded. She's stacking flowers everywhere. And now she's getting cleaned up a little because even a beast needs a little grooming. Let's make her shine. Because she absolutely deserves the spotlight. 🌱 One Room. Twelve Personalities. For anyone discovering the diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is about something I absolutely love about growing: genetics reveal themselves when you give them the opportunity. Twelve different plants. One room. One general environment. One 12/12-from-seed approach. The same lighting strategy. The same nutritional program. The same irrigation philosophy. The same grower. And yet... completely different plants. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some build huge central flowers. Some spread themselves across the canopy. And then there's Black Diamond Pheno A. She seems to have decided: "Why choose?" Tall? Yes. Branchy? Yes. Flower everywhere? Yes. Big flowers? Yes. Lower flowers developing properly? Apparently yes. And now... beast mode. 💎🔥 💎 The Beast Is Still Building At around 169 cm, she remains one of the larger plants in the room. But by now, her height isn't what catches my attention first. It's the amount of flower she's carrying. This girl has continued doing exactly what she showed us last week: building substantial flowering structures throughout the plant. The central flower is impressive. But then you look down the branches... and there's another one. And another. And another. This is what makes her so fascinating. She's not simply relying on one enormous top flower. She's distributing her production throughout her architecture. And some of those lower flowers are becoming seriously substantial. The word "popcorn" is becoming increasingly difficult to justify when the flowers down there are starting to look like proper little colas themselves. 😂 ✂️ Even the Beast Needed a Cleanup This week, we did give her a little attention. We defoliated her. Not because she was unhealthy. Not because she was desperately asking to be stripped. And certainly not because I suddenly believe every plant needs the same treatment. It's because we're growing in a full room. That's an important distinction. If Black Diamond were growing completely by herself, I might have left considerably more of that beautiful foliage exactly where it was. But she isn't alone. She's sharing the room. She's sharing the available space. She's sharing the airflow. She's sharing the light. And when a plant becomes this dense, sometimes you have to make some decisions based on the entire ecosystem rather than the individual plant alone. So we opened her up. We removed selected leaves. We created a little more breathing room. We cleaned some areas that had become crowded. And honestly? She looks fantastic. 🍃 Goodbye to Some Beautiful Leaves And this is the part that always makes me hesitate. Because there were some beautiful leaves in there. Healthy. Large. Green. Perfectly capable of doing their job. But sometimes even a beautiful leaf has reached the point where removing it makes sense for the overall structure. There were also a few older leaves that were naturally ready to come out. So this wasn't about removing foliage for the sake of removing foliage. It was about looking at the plant as she exists today and deciding: Where does this leaf still contribute most? And where is it simply adding another layer of congestion? That's the kind of defoliation I like. Selective. Purposeful. And respectful of the plant. We're not trying to turn a Black Diamond into a skeleton. We're simply giving the beast a little room to breathe. 👀 A Few Little Imperfections And while we're showing the beautiful side of this girl, I also want to document the little imperfections. There are a few minor burned tips and some small spots appearing on some leaves. Nothing that takes away from the overall picture. The plant remains outstanding. But I'm keeping an eye on them. Could it be related to the intensity of the feeding? Could some of the damage be associated with environmental or mechanical stress, including airflow? There isn't enough evidence from the photographs alone for me to confidently blame one specific cause. And that's okay. Sometimes the correct answer in a diary is: "I'm watching it." That's exactly where I am with this. The important thing is the overall plant. And overall? She's absolutely crushing it. 💎🌿 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming Serious The flower development is probably the most exciting part of this week's update. The flowers are getting increasingly established. Calyxes are stacking. Pistils are still showing prominently. The structure is becoming denser. And the resin coverage is becoming increasingly visible. Those close-up photographs really show the progression. This isn't early flower anymore. We're watching flowers become flowers. The architecture we've been observing for weeks is now turning into something much more substantial. And because there are so many flowering sites distributed throughout this plant, every week makes the overall picture more impressive. The central cola is beautiful. But honestly... I keep getting distracted by everything else. 😂 ❄️ And That Frost... Another thing that continues to catch my eye is the increasing frost. The sugar leaves are becoming visibly coated. The developing flowers are carrying more and more resin. And the whole plant is starting to take on that increasingly frosty appearance that makes you want to get the macro lens out immediately. This is one of those stages where the plant seems to change almost every time you photograph her. One week you notice the flower structure. The next week you notice the resin. Then suddenly you realize the flowers have become considerably larger. That's why documenting these plants week after week is so much fun. You don't just see the final result. You get to see the transformation. 💡 Light From Above and Below And Black Diamond remains a fascinating plant for observing the relationship between canopy structure and light distribution. The main Future of Grow lighting provides the primary illumination from above. And the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting gives us another layer of illumination lower in the plant. With a phenotype like this, that becomes particularly interesting. Because there are flowers everywhere. Not just at the top. Not just around the main stem. Throughout the branches. And after the selective defoliation, we've opened some additional space through the canopy. So now I'm even more curious to see how those different levels continue developing as flowering progresses. We're not trying to predict the result. We're watching it happen. That's the experiment. 💧 Feeding the Beast The nutritional strategy remains consistent with the flowering program. Current feeding: 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L The nutrient solution is maintained around pH 6.0, with the recorded EC around 2.0 mS/cm. Watering remains around 1.3 L per plant per 24 hours. And looking at this girl... she certainly isn't complaining about having something to eat. 😂💎 The important part remains consistency. The same nutritional strategy is being used across the experiment. Black Diamond simply happens to be one of the phenotypes making particularly good use of the opportunity. 🌡️ The Environment Current conditions for this update: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 169 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h The room stays consistent. The plant keeps changing. And that contrast is exactly what makes the phenotype experiment so interesting. 📸 This Week's Gallery The photographs this week tell a beautiful story. The wider shots show just how much this girl has developed. The flowers are distributed throughout her structure, and even after the cleanup, she remains incredibly full. The close-ups are where things get really interesting. You can see the flower structure becoming more defined. You can see the increasing resin coverage. You can see the fresh pistils. You can see the calyxes stacking. And then you notice those little imperfections. A couple of tips. A few spots. Nothing dramatic. Just part of the plant's story. And I actually like documenting that. Because a real grow isn't a catalogue photograph. Plants aren't manufactured. They're alive. They respond. They adapt. They occasionally complain. And sometimes they simply say: "I'm going to be amazing anyway." 😂💎 💎 Beast Mode I think this is officially the right name for her current chapter. Beast Mode. Because she's not just large. She's not just flowering. She's not just producing a nice central cola. She's building an entire network of substantial flowers. She's filling her vertical structure. She's developing frost. She's carrying an enormous amount of plant material. And even after getting cleaned up... she still looks like a beast. One of the bestiest beasts in the room. There. I said it again. 😂💎🌿 🧠 What She Keeps Teaching Me Black Diamond Pheno A has been one of those plants that repeatedly reminds me not to underestimate what genetics can do. From the beginning, she didn't need much manipulation. She developed her own architecture. She distributed flowers throughout the plant. She maintained a strong, lush canopy. And now she's showing us what that architecture can become as flowering progresses. The lesson isn't: "Do exactly what I did." The lesson is: Watch the plant. Understand the structure. Understand the environment. Understand the room. And then make decisions based on what is actually happening. That's what I love about this project. The plants are constantly giving us information. We just have to pay attention. 🔮 Looking Ahead We're moving deeper into the flowering cycle now, and this is where I'm going to be watching several things very closely. 🌸 Flower swelling ❄️ Resin development 🌿 Overall canopy health 💎 Development of the lower flowers 🍃 Response to the selective defoliation 👀 Those minor leaf imperfections 🌱 Overall plant maturity The most exciting question remains: How much more can those flowers build? Because if the current trajectory continues... we could be looking at something very impressive. And I absolutely want to see where this beast takes us. 💎 Let the Beast Shine There are plants that you grow. There are plants that you admire. And then there are plants that make you stop in front of the tent and just stare for a minute. Black Diamond Pheno A is becoming one of those. She's big. She's powerful. She's loaded with flowers. She's getting frostier. She's developing beautifully. And yes... she needed a little cleanup. We removed some beautiful leaves. We removed some older leaves. We opened some space. We gave her a little more breathing room. And she's still standing there looking at me like: "Was that all?" 😂💎 Yes, girl. That was all. Now keep doing your thing. Because you're doing it exceptionally well. 💚 Final Thoughts Week 9 has given us another chapter in the story of this incredible phenotype. Black Diamond Pheno A continues to show why phenotype hunting is so fascinating. She's not simply growing. She's expressing. She's developing her own architecture. Her own flower distribution. Her own personality. And now we're watching that personality turn into serious flower production. A few minor imperfections don't change the bigger picture. They're simply something to observe. Because overall... she's outstanding. She's one of the strongest personalities in this room. One of the most impressive plants to photograph. And definitely one of the ones I'm most curious to see at the finish line. So let's not overcomplicate it. Let's give her what she needs. Let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. And most importantly... let's make this beast shine. 💎🔥🌿 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure week after week.

Hey everyone :-) This week it smells more and more sweet and fruity in the whole room 😍. There is actually not much to report, everyone is now under 12/12 :-). This is the last grow that comes in the entire diary. From now on, each plant will be added to the diary 👍. I wish you all a lot of fun watching, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👌

Woche 8 – Tag 52 | Start in die heiße Phase Die Mädels sind jetzt voll in der Blüte angekommen und der Stretch ist durch. Die Struktur steht, jetzt geht’s nur noch um Budentwicklung und Gewicht. Besonders die Blueberry zeigt wieder, warum sie als Heavy Feeder gilt – hoher Wasserverbrauch und ordentlich Wachstum. Die Budsites entwickeln sich gleichmäßig über das ganze Canopy und die ersten Ansätze werden sichtbar dichter. Insgesamt ein sehr gesunder Eindruck, sattes Grün und stabile Triebe. Ich habe das Gießverhalten leicht angepasst, um mehr Trockenphasen reinzubringen und die Wurzeln stärker arbeiten zu lassen. Gedüngt wird nicht mehr nach – die vorhandene Versorgung reicht vollkommen aus bis zum Ende. Klima bleibt stabil, Umluft wird jetzt nochmal wichtiger, da das Blätterdach deutlich dichter wird. Ab jetzt liegt der Fokus klar auf: * kompakte Buds * saubere Klima- und Gießführung * kein unnötiger Stress Bin gespannt, wie sie in den nächsten 2 Wochen eskalieren 😏🔥 Zum Ende der laufenden Woche nochmal ein paar Bilder. Die buds schwellen langsam richtig an und die harzbildung ist jetzt in voller Fahrt.

In this week i decided to only give them another startbooster which contains some rootstimulator. Some days after feeding with startbooster, i gave them some water. There are still so many kinds of nutrients in the soil. The plants look a little light green, i have been checking my run-off water and it should be fine( still higher EC then i used to have but i have already explained why it is that way). I'm not overwatering so it's not a (N)itrogen problem which can most of the time results into light green leaves. ( when there is no nitrogen in the soil the roots will not or barely take any water(nutrients) I had the same thing with other sativas in the past, behind the window before and in later stages it got solved. I still have to remind myself that it is a fun-outside-grow so i should'nt complain about low humidity(40-45) which should be 85%, temperature 20-21 degrees which should be 26-27, being behind a glas window instead of better exposure to the sunlight or lamps, not having fans on it to get better firm stems or closer lightsource so they don't stretch that much. For now i start getting them used to the sunlight by carefully putting them in shade places or with a few hours sunlight. It went well but except for the bigger pot plant, you can see on the highest leaf that it got a little bit curly but still not a big issue. I might buy some Canna Cure this week. Canna cure is good against insects, molts and such. It also holds some nutrients. Very usefull for outside growing. Since i don't want to overwater or overfeed my plants because i want them to root alot, this might be a solution to give them some extra nutrients, it also makes the leaves more green. When the plants are getting bigger and more thick i want to start doing LTS, i order to do so i just have a little bit time left to bully them a bit with keeping them dry for rooting. I don't want to do that while doing LTS. Don't mind the temperature meter, its not 32 degrees outside. It was still inside behind the window between the curtains. It hotter there. ( might also be the reason for some stretch in the plants)

It’s day 33’from seed. All of the plants are really healthy. The plants have a really great root system at this point… I am currently slowly moving the light intensity up to the veg area. Now that are in a groove they are about to explode… I’m hoping I can flip the plants to flower in 1 weeks but I’m thinking I will wait to weeks and let them get a little larger. The plants are just now starting to look visually different next weeks update I will be ababoe to go into the visual differences, they are just not that extreme yet to really talk to much about.

She's developing very fast and without any type of issues, there's not too much to say on the first days of life. I'm so excited about this indoor run. I'll be training this lady in not too long. Hope to make a big bush with this beautiful lady right here. Stay tuned to see this beautiful strain in action! 💎💚❤️💛👨‍🌾✌️

Alright! I'm updating the journal a couple days early bc my birthday is this weekend!😁 Ms. Hypnotic is growing beautifully! Shes a little leggy so I'm going to create a bean pole out of a toothpick as I've done before to give her additional stability! I've still been feeding roughly around every 2 days but she really doesn't need much at all. Next week I will take her into bloom like he sisters if she holds steady this week! Please drop likes, comments, constructive criticism, encouragement and or Happy Birthday wishes! Happy growing!

Well this week has been quite stressful ! Where I live has been humid as f...k and the RH in my tent is around 60 percent !!!! (week 5 of flower !! ) Even with a dehumidifier !! I m keeping a good airflow and low temps ( around 23 c ) hoping it will avoid bud rot or powdery mildew : //// !!! Does anybody have good tips to drop down that humidity please ? Besides that the plants are looking healthy and frosty and are starting to get bigger every day ! I've just been taking some fan leaves off now and then to expose buds to light. I hope buds are going to fatten up ! Happy growing y'all !

It was just magical, I really enjoyed the experience with this strain. Auto Kabul - best INDICA forever! Love it 😍

Easy harvest trim was a snap Great main bud but no training it should be. In dry more comments after Dried to a nice crystal finish in cure now Dense buds for sativa

Got a big cal mag deficiency problem at the end of week 6. I’m treating her now with cal mag
