Getting spotting and burnt tips on the leaves, no idea why. The nutrient amount was 2ml/gal of Micro and Grow with 1ml/gal of RapidStart during the week before. Changed water on Nov 13th, FIM'd Nov 12th but it looks like I may have just topped it. Nov 14th - pH 6.1 -> 5.8 - PPM 480, 1.0 EC - Temp 75f, Humidity 50% Nov 15th - pH 5.6 (?) - PPM 460, 0.9 EC - Temp 71f, Humidity 65% Nov 16th - pH 5.8 - PPM 450, 0.9 EC - Temp 75f, Humidity 60% Nov 17th - pH 5.7 - PPM 440, 0.9 EC - Temp 75, Humidity 60% Nov 18th - pH 5.9 - PPM 430, 0.9 EC - Temp 80f, Humidity 60% Nov 19th - pH 6.0 - PPM 500, 1.0 EC - Temp 65, Humidity 70% - Added CalMag on the evening of the 18th Nov 20th - pH 6.0 - PPM 490, 1.0 EC - Temp 75, Humidity 50%

Que pasa familia, vamos con la primera semana de floracion de estas Lemonpaya feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros que además provocó un shock que también solucione. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Buried her, and moved the light closer...

May 5 - 9

Hi friends, I had some problems and now I'm back with renewed vigor, good luck to everyone 💚🇬🇪

3-29-20: Took a couple leaves off of her from the bottom and checking to see if training lines are tight daily. 3-31-20: Exciting week, she really took off. about 2 more weeks until i flip the light schedule to 12-12. all the flowering sites are receiving good light so far with only 2 slightly under the canopy.

plant is healthy about to feed her her meal... Bud development is right on point.

Tento týden jsem holky naposledy pěkně roztáhnul :) a začali se pěkně vytahovat do výšky a koncem týdne jsem přepnul na 12/12. Holkám se daří, teda ta pravá je furt taková bledule a asi bude víc indica

su primera semana fotoperiodo 12-12 y mis bellas se han adaptado a todos sus cambios, una vez mis bellas indique que comenzo su floracionn hare cambio de nutrientes.

So this little baby is short and thick 😂 she is growing well but very stubby 🤷 anywho she looks very bushy and has fat leaves so she was defoliated and topped a second time! 💕🌸she seems to be coming along great!

Really into the aggressive stretch now going to be doing some defolation this week there looking in good shape for it going to slightly increase the ec to 1.6 a week after defolation as to the defolation I will ease off the ec for this feed to over the stress week three I shall lollypop them all and clean up the girls and won't touch them after that last defolation in the end of week 3 I also foiler fed with the shogun boost

Same nutes, I'm keeding usually but 1/3 than usage even less.. sweet smell start raising stronger.

a week ago the plants showed me some magnesium deficiency i fixed it and raised the EC/ppm in my small water bucket, i toped them and gave in one more week to grow before switching 12/12 (week 3 VEG)

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 11 | When Every Cola Looks Like a Main Cola 💎👑🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Okay... I think Black Diamond Pheno A has officially reached the point where I don't even know which cola I'm supposed to call the main one anymore. 😂💎 Because honestly... LOOK AT HER. Everywhere I look, there's another beautiful flower. Another tall, developed cola. Another structure that looks like it could have been the main top. And another reason to stop in front of this girl and just stare for a moment. She's big. She's beautiful. She's impressive. She's making herself noticed. And she's doing it without needing any special treatment compared with the rest of the room. Same room. Same environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutrition adjustments. Same 12/12 schedule. And yet... Black Diamond Pheno A has decided to interpret all of that in her own spectacular way. And I absolutely love it. 💎🔥👑 ──────────────────────── 💎 EVERY COLA LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN COLA ──────────────────────── This is probably the easiest way for me to describe what I'm seeing this week. Every cola looks like a main cola. 😂 Normally, when you look at a plant, your eyes naturally find the dominant top. You see the main structure. Then you look around at the side branches. With this girl? I'm having trouble deciding which one deserves the title. Because one catches my eye... Then another. Then another. And suddenly I'm standing there thinking: "Wait a minute..." "Isn't THAT supposed to be the main cola?" 😂💎 She's built such a beautiful distribution of flowering structures that the entire canopy is becoming a collection of major players. And I love that. She's not relying on one star. She's created a whole team of them. 👑👑👑👑 ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE STILL MAKES HERSELF NOTICED ──────────────────────── Some plants quietly sit in the room. You walk past them. You appreciate them. Then you continue. Black Diamond? No. 😂 She makes herself noticed. Every single time. She's one of those plants where your eyes naturally go toward her. Part of it is the size. Part of it is the structure. Part of it is the amount of flowering she's carrying. And part of it is simply... she has presence. She's big. She's substantial. She's developed. And now that the flowers are becoming increasingly dominant throughout the structure, her personality is becoming even stronger. She's not asking for attention. She's simply impossible to ignore. 💎🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE TAKING OVER THE CONVERSATION ──────────────────────── Earlier in the run, we talked a lot about structure. Then we talked about flower formation. Then resin. Then colour. Then weight. Now? The flowers are basically taking over the entire conversation. 😂🌸 They're everywhere. And they're becoming increasingly substantial. The beautiful thing about this phenotype is how consistently she has built throughout her structure. She didn't create one impressive top and leave everything else behind. She's built a whole network of flowering sites. And now those sites are developing into substantial colas. Which brings us back to the problem... How exactly do I choose the main cola? 😂 I don't think I can. So let's just call them all main colas. Problem solved. 💎👑 ──────────────────────── 🔥 A CANOPY FULL OF MAIN COLAS ──────────────────────── There is something incredibly satisfying about seeing this kind of development. You look across the plant... and instead of seeing one obvious dominant flower surrounded by smaller ones... you see a whole collection of developed flowering structures. That's what catches my eye with Black Diamond right now. The canopy has depth. The flowers have presence. The branches have purpose. And the whole plant looks like it's putting every part of that structure to work. She's not wasting much space. She's filling it. And she's doing it beautifully. 🌸🌿💎 ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM. SAME UPGRADES. HER OWN EXPRESSION. ──────────────────────── And once again, this is where the 8×8 Adventure gets really interesting. We're not changing the rules for Black Diamond. She's sharing the same room as everybody else. The same overall environmental strategy. The same irrigation system. The same nutritional program. The same 12/12 lighting schedule. And now... the same upgraded lighting setup. We've added the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. After seeing the initial PPFD was higher than we wanted, we've brought the fixtures down to around: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally less depending on canopy height and position. Black Diamond is receiving those photons just like the rest of the room. But look at what she's doing with them. She's building. She's stacking. She's developing. She's turning those photons into an entire army of main-cola-looking structures. 😂💎🔥 ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE PHOTONS. MORE POSSIBILITY. ──────────────────────── I really like what the lighting upgrade has brought to the room. Not because we're trying to force the plants to do something. Quite the opposite. It's about having the capability. We're not running the fixtures flat out just because we can. We're controlling the output. We're finding the level that makes sense for the room. And then we let the plants respond. Black Diamond is certainly responding. She's looking strong. She's looking substantial. And she's continuing to develop beautifully. The artificial sun is there. The photons are there. The plant decides what to do with them. And this girl has apparently decided: "Flowers." Lots of them. 😂💎🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌱 LET THE PLANT DO THE WORK ──────────────────────── This is something I keep appreciating more and more as the run progresses. At this stage... we don't need to be constantly interfering. The framework is established. The plant knows what it's doing. The flowers are developing. And our job becomes much more about observation than intervention. Keep the environment stable. Keep the irrigation consistent. Keep the nutrition appropriate. Keep the air moving. Keep the lights where they need to be. And watch. That's it. Black Diamond doesn't need us to tell her how to grow. She's already made that decision. 😂💎 She's just doing what she does. And she's doing it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌿 BIG, BEAUTIFUL & COMPLETELY HERSELF ──────────────────────── At around 169 cm, Black Diamond Pheno A remains one of the substantial girls in this room. She's big. But again... her height isn't what impresses me most anymore. It's what she's doing with that height. The structure. The branches. The flower distribution. The number of developed colas. The way the entire plant seems to have become a flowering machine. That's what makes her special. She's not tall just for the sake of being tall. She's using that architecture. And she's filling it. 💎🌸💚 ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL THERE ──────────────────────── And of course... we can't talk about Black Diamond without talking about the frost. ❄️💎 The resin-covered surfaces continue to give her that beautiful crystalline appearance. Get closer... and the story changes again. The flowers aren't just flowers. They're texture. They're resin. They're pistils. They're tiny details. They're little landscapes. And when the light catches everything correctly... she really does shine. Which is probably why the name Black Diamond continues to feel so appropriate. She has that combination of darkness, colour, structure and sparkle that makes her incredibly photogenic. 📸💎❄️ ──────────────────────── 🎨 COLOUR + GREEN + FROST ──────────────────────── Another thing I really appreciate is the combination of colours we're seeing. The green foliage. The developing flower colours. The bright pistils. The white frost. All of it coming together across such a large plant. It creates a really beautiful contrast. And because she has so many flowering structures, there isn't just one place where you see it. It's happening throughout the plant. Everywhere. Another cola. Another angle. Another little section that catches the eye. This girl is basically giving the camera a full-time job. 😂📸 ──────────────────────── 📸 THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S PROBLEM ──────────────────────── Black Diamond is becoming one of those plants where taking photographs becomes a problem. Not because she's difficult to photograph. Because there are too many good things to photograph. 😂 You take the wide shot. "Okay, beautiful." Then you move closer. "Oh, that's a nice cola." Then you see another one. "Wait, this one is even better." Then another. And another. And suddenly... you've been standing there for half an hour. 😂📸💎 That's the fun of this stage. The plant has so much going on that every perspective tells a slightly different story. ──────────────────────── 💎 THE BLACK DIAMOND PERSONALITY ──────────────────────── By now, I think we know who this girl is. She's not shy. She's not trying to hide. She's not trying to be the smallest girl in the room. She's substantial. She's demanding. She's productive. She's beautiful. And she's very comfortable taking up space. 😂💎 She's one of those phenotypes that makes you stop and think: "Okay..." "I see you." And then you walk away... only to turn around and look again. 😂 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – THE ROOM MOVES TOGETHER ──────────────────────── Just like the rest of the room, we've made the flowering nutrition adjustment. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution parameters are around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special just for Black Diamond. Same general nutritional strategy. Same room. Same philosophy. And she's responding beautifully. Which is exactly what we want to see. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 ENVIRONMENT ──────────────────────── The room continues around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same room. And Black Diamond continues to show us her own interpretation of it. 💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌸 WHEN EVERY COLA LOOKS IMPORTANT ──────────────────────── This is probably what I'll remember most about this week. Every cola looks important. There's no obvious: "Okay, THIS is the main one." Because so many of them have developed enough structure to demand attention. They're all standing there like: "Pick me." 😂 And I'm like: "I can't." So... you're all main colas. Everybody wins. 👑🌸👑🌸👑🌸 ──────────────────────── SAME GENETIC ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES ──────────────────────── This is also another beautiful reminder of what this whole project is about. We have so many different cultivars and phenotypes sharing the same ecosystem. Some are smaller. Some are taller. Some are faster. Some are slower. Some are extremely compact. Some stretch. Some become incredibly frosty. Some build huge individual flowers. And Black Diamond? She's building a whole army of colas. 😂💎 That's the part I love. We provide the environment. Genetics provide the personality. And then we watch the story unfold. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? ──────────────────────── At this point, I'm not looking for something to fix. I'm looking at development. 🌸 How much more will these colas build? ❄️ How much more resin will develop? 💎 How much more weight will those structures carry? 🌿 How will the foliage continue to evolve? 📸 How many more photographs am I going to take? 😂 The questions are becoming more about watching the plant mature than trying to change anything. And that's a really enjoyable place to be. She's healthy. She's beautiful. She's developing. So... let her work. ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE DESERVES THE SPOTLIGHT ──────────────────────── Sometimes a plant earns the spotlight because something unusual happens. Sometimes because she has a special colour. Sometimes because she suddenly explodes with flowers. And sometimes... she simply keeps being amazing. That's Black Diamond Pheno A this week. She's not necessarily doing something completely different from last week. She's simply continuing to be excellent. And sometimes... that's more than enough. 💎🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – STILL SHINING ──────────────────────── Week 11. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. And honestly... what can I say? She's still beautiful. She's still big. She's still making herself noticed. She's still developing. She's still covered in beautiful flowers. She's still carrying more and more structure. And now... I'm looking at a plant where practically every cola looks like it could be the main cola. 😂💎👑 I absolutely love it. She's doing exactly what she wants. We're doing exactly what we need to do. The room is stable. The lighting has been upgraded. The nutrition has been adjusted. The photons are flying. And she's doing the rest. That's the beauty of this stage. We don't need to force the story. We just need to document it. And Black Diamond is giving us a hell of a story. 💎🔥🌿 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful girl showing us exactly why the 8×8 Adventure has been so much fun. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these journeys, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us this incredible phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore what this expanded lighting setup can do. 💡💚 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate those deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And Black Diamond? This week... you absolutely deserve the spotlight. 💎👑🔥 You're big. You're beautiful. You're frosty. You're stacking. You're developing. You're filling your structure with flowers. And somehow... you've reached the point where every cola looks like a main cola. 😂💎🌸 So let's not overthink it. Let's let her shine. Let's let her keep building. Let's keep the photons flying. Let's keep watching. And let's see what this beautiful girl decides to show us next. Because one thing is certain... Black Diamond Pheno A is not interested in being a background character. She's making herself noticed. And honestly? I'm very happy to give her the spotlight. 💎🌿👑🔥 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the crowns are temporary, the genetics keep surprising us, and apparently... every cola on Black Diamond wants to be the main cola. 😂💎👑🌸

1/12/21 - The fan leaves seem to be dying off kinda. Check the pictures. The buds and sugar leaf look great! We are giving plain water until harvest. 1/13/21 - They are ripening up and will be ready for harvest on the 17th! We are prepping as we will wet trim then make thc pain salve from all of the popcorn nugs and trim. We will be using a drying rack. It just seems like the best option for this grow. 1/14/21 - We might chop them tomorrow or Sunday. Either way we will be harvesting this weekend. The buds look amazing! We can’t wait to harvest and make pain balm with the popcorn and trim. 1/15/21 - Harvest Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *We will update the diary with dry weight and details in a week or so*

Day 43 Lowered grow dose Increased bloom & top max Replaced rhino skin with big bud buds are stacking nicely, pistils are exploding, and frost is coming in. All 3 plants showing slight stress which I believe is from the strong 600w HPS light. Nothing of concern, however not a lot I can do as light is already as full height, however Will Increase air flow more upward. Day 44 Frost has arrived. Bud sites really started to fill out now. Drinking 3L every 1.5 days. Last feed was no grow as wanna cut back on N, and a 50% feed of other nutrients to reduce nute burn. Very happy with progress so far. Day 46 Increased bloom dose, and cut back on all other nutes. Very happy so far.
