Black Diamond Auto — Pheno B 🌱💎 Week 1 Vegetation | Another Plant That Refuses to Wait Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to the second phenotype of Black Diamond Auto. After documenting Pheno A, I was curious to see whether her sister would follow a similar path or begin revealing a completely different personality. By the end of Week 1, the answer was becoming quite clear. While every plant develops at its own pace, this girl appears just as eager to get moving as her sister. In fact, looking through the week’s progression, Black Diamond Auto Pheno B showed some of the fastest early development in the entire garden. And for a plant growing under a 12/12-from-seed schedule, that’s always fun to watch. ⸻ The Start of the Journey Like the rest of this project, this phenotype was transplanted directly into her final container from the very beginning. The objective remains simple: Allow the root system to establish itself without requiring additional transplants later in life. By minimizing root disturbance during the earliest stages, the plant can focus entirely on growth and development rather than recovering from unnecessary stress. As always, the substrate used was Plagron Lightmix, chosen for its gentle nutrient charge and excellent structure for young plants. ⸻ Environmental Conditions Environmental conditions remained identical to the rest of the garden: 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 55% ⚡ Light schedule: 12/12 from seed 💨 Gentle airflow 🌱 Plagron nutrient program 💡 Future Of Grow Black Series LED lighting The objective remains creating a stable environment where genetics can express themselves naturally without environmental stress influencing development. ⸻ Early Development From the first photographs onward, Pheno B displayed excellent vigor. The seedling emerged cleanly, established itself quickly, and immediately began building leaf surface. Throughout the week, growth remained steady and consistent. Internodal spacing stayed compact. Leaf color remained healthy. Stem development looked strong. And perhaps most noticeably, this plant wasted very little time transitioning from seedling growth into active vegetative development. Every new set of photographs showed visible progress. ⸻ A Plant in a Hurry One of the most interesting observations this week was the speed at which new growth appeared. Just like her sister, this phenotype seems determined to move quickly. By the end of the week, the plant had already developed impressively large leaves relative to its age. Looking at the overhead photographs, the structure is beginning to spread outward while simultaneously pushing new growth from the center. The overall appearance is vigorous, energetic, and highly efficient. For a plant only one week into vegetation, she already looks eager to start building her future canopy. ⸻ Comparing the Two Phenotypes Although both Black Diamond phenotypes appear vigorous, subtle differences are already becoming visible. Pheno A showed slightly more unusual early leaf development before rapidly accelerating. Pheno B appears a little more symmetrical and organized in her structure while maintaining the same impressive pace of growth. At this stage, both phenotypes are performing extremely well. Whether these small differences remain or disappear over time is something we’ll continue monitoring throughout the run. ⸻ Why Autos Often Move Faster One interesting observation throughout this project has been the difference between some of the autoflowers and the photoperiod cultivars. Several of the autos, including this Black Diamond phenotype, appear to be developing slightly faster during these earliest stages. This isn’t unusual. Autoflowers have evolved with a relatively short life cycle and often prioritize rapid early establishment. Because they do not depend on a photoperiod change to begin flowering, many autos spend very little time deciding what to do. They simply start growing. And this phenotype seems determined to prove that point. ⸻ First Impressions So far, Black Diamond Auto Pheno B has been a pleasure to watch. Healthy color. Strong structure. Excellent vigor. Large leaf development for her age. And a growth rate that places her among the most energetic young plants in the room. At only one week into vegetation, she’s already showing the kind of momentum that makes future updates exciting. ⸻ Looking Ahead The first week has provided a strong foundation. Now the real fun begins. Over the coming weeks we’ll continue following both Black Diamond phenotypes as they develop under the 12/12-from-seed project, documenting structure, growth patterns, and any unique characteristics they choose to reveal. For now, Pheno B appears to have one message: “No time to waste.” Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along on another seed-to-harvest adventure. Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚

Die Pink Rozay von Zamnesia ist zurück und dieses Mal sind wir fest entschlossen, ihr den Regen zu ersparen! 2024 haben wir sie mit etwas zu viel Outdoor-Charme und leider etwas zu viel Regen gequält. Aber neues Jahr, neues Glück und diesmal geht's besser, und wir sind bereit, der Kämpferin die besten Bedingungen zu bieten. Sie hat uns 4 Tage warten lassen, um dann endlich zu keimen und das war, ehrlich gesagt, ein erleichternder Moment. Mit 100% recycelter Erde und ein wenig Green House Pulver und Dünger für den einfachen Einstieg, wollen wir es diesmal richtig machen. Die ersten Hürden hat sie schon gemeistert. Die Pflanze hat zwar noch ein bisschen Schwierigkeiten, sich vom Samen zu befreien, aber wir wissen: Sie ist zäh! Eine echte Überlebenskünstlerin, die mit jedem Tag stärker wird. Wir sind schon richtig gespannt, wie sie sich entwickelt und hoffen auf gutes Wetter und nicht zu viel Regen, ein bisschen Sonne, und dann steht unserem Erfolg nichts mehr im Weg! Die zweite Pflanze für unser Outdoor-Projekt 2026 ist also am Start und wir können es kaum erwarten, zu sehen, was sie drauf hat. Neues Projekt, neues Glück und wir sind mit voller Motivation dabei!😊

Grow day 77 its end of week 11 and things are ticking along nicely. Pineapple express had a small defol during the week and is doing her thing. She is 71 days old. Jack herer also had a small defol and is really packing on some trichomes. She is 71 days. Gorilla cookies had a tiny defol and her trichomes are starting turning Amber. She is 77 days old. Lemon pie has started to look a bit better this week, she had the biggest defoliation as there where lots of dead leaves. She is 72 days old. During the week I realised my PH pen was 0.2 out. Also my boiler is playing up again. I'm to far through this grow to abandon it. It's just the hot water that's playing up this time. Will probably run these nutes for another 5 days then switch to ripen and flush. As soon as its done I'm going have to invest in a new boiler. Max 27.3 deg Avg 22.5 deg Min 17.5 deg Max 67.8% Avg 52.8% Min 46.4%

~~14/09 Couldnt help myself to try some LST even though it might not be benificial to this plant. Increased the fish mix to 1ml/L, got a spider mite invasion on going. Currently treating with potassic soap and neem oil. Beside that the plants looks healthy to me. ~~16/09 Some stylish rain cover for the rain to come (finally after almost 3 months!)

Now i have found the wrong week 19... In this so much H2O2 and EC 2.3 ... Fail....now pump

P2 und p3 sind wirklich gigantisch und in den nächsten Wochen sollte sich zeigen was für terps sie verbergen.Bei den Stecklingen von P2 viel auf,dass sie ein starkes Wurzelwachstum besitzen.P1 und P4 vegetieren noch etwas vor sich hin,bis ich das gesamte Zelt auf 12/12 switche.

Всем привет друзья! Был в отпуске, ни до репортов было. Что могу сказать, разочервался я Fast buds. генетика попадается плохая, при чём беру разные сорта. Fast Buds Zkittlez был первый мой куст, когда только начинал гровить. Снял я тогда 120 сухого. Отложилось у меня положительное впечатление. И вот я снова решил поднять этот прекрасный сорт, в итоге получил мини куст. Всем добра и мира!

Week 8 flower and the OG Kush looks like fire 🔥 so frosty and covering everything. I thought this seed was a dud but it is definitely not! Flowers are not huge but that’s ok. Tight, frosty, and the smell very nice and getting stronger. The development is slow and has been since the beginning, might be something I’m doing or did, not to sure? Lights are at 12” and she is responding well. Looks like about two weeks to go. TS 600’s have done well again! Blimburn OG Kush seems to be producing some potent looking flowers. Need to do a better job taking care of the fungus gnats moving forward. Thanks for the view!

Started off week 6 off by adding 5ml of Flying Skull Z7 to reservoir and adjusted reservoir PH to 6.0. I've got the blumats nearly dialed in and keep making small adjustments every 24 hours. I am holding off a few days on the nutrients to see what the plant tells me. The clawing seems to have improved(combo of over watering and not getting runoff on hand watered nutrients I believe). When I apply nutrients going forward I will make sure there is plenty of runoff so I don't repeat the same mistakes. 😬 on day 2 I applied 1 gal of nutrients and watered until runoff. On day 3 I defoliated the bottom of my plants to improve the air flow. On day 6 I added 5ml of flying skull Z7 to the reservoir. I noticed a possible calcium deficiency on one plant so on day 7 I applied my 1 gal of nutrients with the addition of calmag and silica. Ive only used calmag once growing in coco and it burned my plants...so I assumed there was enough from my tap water and nutrients. I know this goes against all advice.. I think it finally caught up with me LOL.LIve and learn to buffer your coco. Next grow I will buy buffered coco and use a calmag product 😅 I defoliated the center of my plants to increase airflow and expose light deeper into the canopy.

Excellent plant smells mango at harvest 😗

Récolté 53ème jour de floraison Superbe variété vraiment productive et avec une odeur de bonbon sucré 😋 Mon Instagram 👊 https://www.instagram.com/hou_stone420/

I have bought different nutrients to use in this grow and honestly I must say terpinator , W-8 and massive as flower boosters along with coco a and b as the base nutrients is fucking class I have never seen bud growth like this in 2 weeks of flower and the smell is so much stronger and sweeter usually buds won't smell like that till the 3rd week

Blue had a solid start right out of the gate. She grew nice thick, full leaves and was happy as a clam cake.... Until I decided to FIM 🤦‍♀️. I had originally planned on topping her like her tent mate, but someone suggested a FIM, I had never done it before, so I thought, "Why not?!" Well Blue didn't seem to like it all that much, and as she began to grow out I did a poor job of opening her up enough to get proper sub-canopy circulation. I think this was mostly due to a combination of me not knowing what to expect from a FIM in regards to its grow pattern and not having a clear vision of my end game from the start, and the fact that Blue Dream'matic seems to just be a generally "bushy" plant and my natural grow style didn't adapt quickly enough to due her justice. Looking back now, I should have done a better job at doing a bit more defoliation than I did - but I found myself holding back once I had realized the stress I caused the plant from the FIM. That was a mistake. Over the rest of her grow she took a nice turn for the better. I went through and stripped some of the lower buds and opened up her underbrush as best as I could. She ended up giving me some nice fat trichome covered buds in return. I cut her down and hung her in my climate controlled closet holding 69.8°F and 55%RH. Six days later she was jarred up. Blue Dream'matic gave me 85g/3.0oz of quality bud plus an additional 1.9oz of popcorn bud. A day after being in jars I noticed the humidity in the jars was 79%, so I put the buds into some brown paper bags overnight, and this morning I let them get some more air. The buds being so large are sneakily holding more moisture than I had realized. I'll update with my strain review once she's done curing. ✌️000
