Now I'll show you how to do LST & Defolation on Autoflowering strain You should do all this in the third week of vegetation, after which 90% of the plants will continue to vegetate for another week (5 weeks instead of 4) and grow very large autoflowers

Week 8 of this beautiful autoflowering lady from Barney's Farm. I'm in love with this strain, the plant is very strong and vigorous, the leaves are already covered with crystal trichomes. Continuing LST on the capical so i can keep all the Buds at the same height.

E stata una battaglia bellissima ben 230 grammi !!!! Sapore di 🍋 limone e arancia incredibili

🌿 Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 7 (Flower Week 4) 🌱 The Room Is Coming Alive One of the biggest goals of this 8×8 Adventure has never been growing a single impressive plant. It's about building an entire ecosystem where every phenotype has the opportunity to express its own genetics while sharing the same environment, the same nutrition, and the same cultivation philosophy. Week after week, that vision becomes easier to see. Frosted Guava Pheno A continues doing exactly what she has done since the beginning—growing with balance, consistency, and confidence. While some plants steal the spotlight with explosive growth, she continues proving that steady development is often the foundation for exceptional harvests. Now entering her fourth week of flowering, she's no longer simply producing flowers. She's beginning to build real buds. And at the same time... The entire room is beginning to transform into a living sea of green. 🌸 Week 4 Flower – Everything Is Coming Together Standing at approximately 115 cm tall, Frosted Guava has stretched exactly as I hoped she would. Her vertical growth has started slowing naturally, allowing almost all of her energy to shift into flower production. Every branch now carries developing bud sites, and the individual flowers that appeared only a week ago are already beginning to stack together. The structure she built during vegetative growth is now paying dividends. Light reaches nearly every top, airflow remains excellent throughout the canopy, and each branch has enough room to develop without competing with its neighbours. She's becoming one of those plants that's simply enjoyable to watch every single day. 🍃 The Room Has Its Own Personality This week's report isn't only about one plant. It's also about the room itself. Walking into the tent now feels completely different compared to only a few weeks ago. The empty spaces that once separated individual plants are slowly disappearing as every canopy begins growing together into one continuous layer of green. The room feels alive. Every plant is stretching toward the light while simultaneously filling the space around her. Each phenotype still shows its own personality, but together they're becoming one complete ecosystem. That also means something else is approaching. Not because every individual plant necessarily needs it... But because the room does. Within the next week or so I'll likely perform the first significant defoliation of flowering. This isn't about removing leaves simply because I can. It's about maintaining airflow, allowing deeper light penetration, reducing excessive humidity pockets, and making sure every plant continues receiving the environment she deserves as the canopy becomes increasingly dense. Sometimes we don't prune for the plants. We prune for the room. 💡 Lighting Above... And Below The lighting system has also evolved alongside the plants. Above the canopy, the Future of Grow Black Series LED continues delivering approximately 1,000 PPFD across the tops of the flowering plants. For anyone new to growing, PPFD simply measures how many usable light particles reach the plant every second. In other words, it's one of the best ways to understand how much energy the plants receive for photosynthesis. Around 1,000 PPFD provides an excellent level of intensity for flowering under these conditions. Below the canopy, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues adding another layer to the system. Rather than replacing the main light, these bars help illuminate lower flowering sites that would normally receive much less intensity once the canopy becomes dense. It's still early to judge the final results, but I'm genuinely excited to see how much they improve lower bud development as flowering progresses. Like everything else in this diary... The harvest will tell the real story. 🌬️ Airflow – Creating A Living Environment One aspect that's often overlooked is air movement. Good airflow isn't simply about pointing a fan at the plants. Inside this room, multiple oscillating fans create moving crosswinds that constantly change direction, preventing stagnant pockets of humid air from developing between the branches. At the same time, cooler air naturally enters from the lower section of the room while the extraction system continuously removes the warmer air accumulating near the ceiling. This constant vertical air exchange creates an environment where fresh CO₂ is continually introduced, humidity remains balanced, temperatures stay remarkably stable, and every leaf continues transpiring efficiently. Healthy airflow is one of the quiet heroes behind every successful flowering room. 🌡️ Environment Environmental conditions continue remaining beautifully consistent: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Root zone temperature: 21°C • Solution temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Approximately 639 ppm This gives the room a VPD that's right where I want it for this stage of flowering. For growers unfamiliar with the term, VPD (Vapour Pressure Deficit) describes the relationship between temperature and humidity, helping determine how efficiently plants transpire and move water and nutrients through their tissues. Rather than chasing individual numbers, I prefer building an environment where temperature, humidity, airflow, irrigation, and lighting all work together as one complete system. Another question I often receive concerns CO₂. The reading of roughly 639 ppm isn't coming from bottled supplementation. It's simply the natural level inside my home, helped by continuously exchanging fresh household air through the grow room. During the evenings, with the family inside and normal household activity taking place, those natural CO₂ levels remain more than adequate for this style of cultivation. Sometimes simple really does work. 💧 Nutrition The feeding program remains unchanged this week, allowing the plants to continue flowering without unnecessary adjustments. Current feeding: • Terra Bloom • Pure Zym • Sugar Royal • Power Buds • Green Sensation Maintaining consistency often produces better results than constantly chasing new recipes. The plants certainly seem to agree. 👀 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect flower production to accelerate noticeably. The stretch should finish completely, bud sites will begin joining together, resin production should become increasingly visible, and Frosted Guava will start investing nearly all of her energy into building flower density rather than producing new height. The canopy itself will likely become full enough to justify the first flowering defoliation, improving airflow and ensuring every flowering site continues receiving excellent light throughout the room. It's one of my favourite moments of the grow. Everything starts feeling like a real flowering garden. 🙏 Final Thoughts Frosted Guava continues reminding me that consistency often beats drama. She hasn't demanded constant attention or complicated corrections. Instead, she's simply responded to stable conditions, balanced nutrition, quality genetics, and a healthy environment by doing exactly what nature designed her to do. Watching this room slowly evolve into a complete flowering ecosystem has been just as rewarding as watching any individual plant grow. Every week the pieces fit together a little more. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making this incredible project possible, Plagron for providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for adding a new dimension with their under-canopy lighting system, AutoPot for keeping the root zone thriving, Mammoth Tents for providing the perfect home, TrolMaster for maintaining precise environmental control, Prima Klima for outstanding ventilation, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your encouragement, comments, and shared passion for growing continue making this 8×8 Adventure an absolute pleasure to document. Until next week... Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Heights are for the power flower which is under the 1000w light. growing super dense new branches everywhere hopefully can pull it apart a little when i get my screen in. Holy punch is 8" tall with 600W light 4" away. has been growing very bushy still easy to train.

Go to week 4 Temp 23c Rh 55-60% Ph 6.3 Ec 3.3 VPD 1.27 Co2 2000 ppm

DAY 51F Getting the chop at the weekend

I've decided to LST the Black Sugar its getting very bushy hopefully it helps :)

My overall impressions of this strain from MSNL: Ive noticed that MSNL genetics tend to switch to flower earlier than all the ther autos i've grown. The initial growth on the plant starts out small headed into flowering but then explodes during flowering. Because of this I start my feed at week 3 and I used the full NFTG advanced feed but only at 1/2 the recommended amounts of the early veg schedule they made. This works out well with these plants and by week 5 they can handle the full Nute schedule. A proper flush was needed at-least twice a week during the flowering period. It is a lot of work to maintain PH and soil PPM but its essential with the NFTG and if you do it right you WILL get rewarded with Danky goodness. Last time around I grew three plants and tried 3 different training techniques to see which method worked better for this strain. I learned that LST with minimal defoliation is the best route and I stuck with what I knew and im pretty sure it worked out great! I got nice uniform growth growth and 4 truly massive main bud stalks with very dense growth even below the canopy. I virtually had no popcorn nugs, I think I had one! I also contribute that to my NFTG nutrients and Spider Farmer sf2000 202 W qb, that thing kicked some serious ass during flowering, although it is relatively strong and some of my other autos seemed to be affected by the intensity but this Purple Hulk was very heat resistant through it all. Overall I would definitely recommend using LST to some extent with these genetics because of the small initial growth you will get at first. Start the nutes sooner than later. maybe week 3, but at half the strength. Feeding the soil would be a good idea right from the get go . Mammoth P is a cool microbe that targets phosphorus directly and recharge will slam pack your substrate with beneficial microbes and ive noticed a very clear difference after incorporating these into my NFTG feed. Another thing I did that seemed to help was weekly epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) sprays on top of my bloom khaos foliar sprays. I didn't deal with any deficiencies at all this time around following this feeding regiment 👌 I do not have taste/aroma info for this specific plant just yet but I will update this frequently with new information when I get it including dry weight, taste, and aroma, more photos, and overall impressions of its medicine. so please stay tuned!! Dubes~ *UPDATES* March 3- I removed the PHULK from 32 hours of darkness and chopped branches. 19.5 oz wet on the scale!! Im attempting hang drying for the first time because of my dry conditions.

Today is their first day out, they aren’t loving it. Hopefully they’ll adjust. Has any one used King Crab before?

Flowers filling out nicely this week!! She is fattening up very well!

Week 2 Flower 09/04 Bllimburn Apple Fritter - Seedsman Critical +2.0 39 - 40inches - Increased Raw NPK feed ( Phosphorus - Potassium ) 2 teaspoons per gallon on each with Cal Mag, Flower Fuel and Floranova Bloom. Flowering processing accordingly. *End of week update 09/09* Both Apple Fritter and Critical are flowering accordingly. 3-4 Inch height increase Budsites looking healthy - No signs of deficiencies from nute feeds Main Colas were aggressively LST's to avoid light burn.

Update - 4th July 2021 Just still flushing away. The colours that are coming out are crazy. I have edited some pics but not videos and the videos dont really pick up the colour. Its strange that it started completely green and then went darker and darker until it reached purple buds covered in trichomes. I am planning on harvesting both this plant and the purple punch today or tomorrow depending on when i can be bothered lol Tbh, its not hard because i dry trim so it's just a case of plucking off the fan leaves and hanging it in different branches.

Day 53 Been plain sailing this week. The autopots are flushing the plants nicely, with pH 6.4 eater. I actually turned off the water today as I think once they are dry in a few day I can harvest them.

8/3 Went over to treat the 10th planet that needed water with plant doctor around 10:30. I was in the garden at 6 but didn't have much time. That plant seems to be curled up or "droopy". It DID need water. I defoliated a few sep leaves off it but I didn't see any today. I guess I don't ever really see the leaves "up" or praying like I do with the rest of tge plants. It's starting to flower like the rest though. Today is the day everything is supposed to get its second or third plant doctor dose but I decided to wait until they need the water. I don't think 24hrs will mean much. I've been staying on top of defoliation but I'm seeing some pillar damage. I'd like to spray bt but what my buddy said about spraying with septoria is still in my head. Maybe I can use citric acid. That way it won't "wash away" spores it will just eat them. At least I think. And I hope lol. Birds get most of the pillars but I hand pick some too. I need to pick up nutes. Wondering if I should just get grow big again. I don't use much but plants are switching to flower and leaves are fading. I have big bloom and kool bloom bit neither have nitrogen. I still need some sort of nitrogen. Especially since that could be a deficiency. Not sure if it's the transition or a condition with the sep. I see some interior small leaves bleeding out and some dying. I'm wondering if what I thought was earwig damage years prior was really a combo of sep and they just ate the evidence. I'm super grateful though. I've got some resilient girls and they're doing well. The special kush in flower is gorgeous as well. Looks like I'll have an early plant. Short flowering time on this strain. Smells pungent. 8/4 Treated everything in the garden with plant doctor except the 10th planet I got yesterday. I need to take a closer look at that plant. It rarely looks "happy" like my others. I'll check it again later. 3tsp per gallon and 1gal a plant. The 10s got a half gallon. This seems to be working great. I have some defoliation to do on the tenth planet I was talking about earlier. Everything is in some form of flower. The flowers on that early special kush are getting bigger. I'll update this later. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT NOON TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT OTHER 10TH PLANET TO SEE IF IT PICKED UP AT ALL. IT DID. IM GLAD I CAME OVER TO CHECK THOUGH. MAKES ME FEEL BETTER. THE OTHER 10TH PLANET LOOKS HORRIBLE O. FILM FROM ONE ANGLE LOL BUT ITS REALLY A GREAT LOOKING PLANT AND IM USUALLY FILMING AT LIKE 6AM. JIST WANTED TO STICK UP FORCMY GIRL AND HER BAD HAIR DAY. ITS BEEN HIT AND A FEW OF HER LEAVES ARE TACOED. SHE GOT HER FIRST "PREVENTATIVE" DOSE OF PLANT DOCTOR WHICH WAS HALF A TSP/GALLON. IT REALLY SEEMS TO BE DOING SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER. EVERYTHING IS. IM HAVING TO LOOK HARDER AND AM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING LEAVES EFFECTED BY SEPTORIA. KNOCK ON WOOD. IM EXCITED. THIS IS GOING BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. IM STILL GOING TO BE MONITERING LIKE I USUALLY DO. 8/5 Watered the 10th planet I dodnt get yesterday. Looked and didn't see any sep leaves. Phone was dead so I vouldnt do a video. Went back over at like 130pm and did a quick video and checked out the girls. Everything is looking good and transitioning well. I WANT to use a diy Dr. Zymes with citric acid as I've noticed a few pillars. Only reason I've hesitated is because my buddy said not to spray it. But if what I spray it with "eats" it I would think it's ok. But what do I know. Birds get a great deal of them. I watch them on the camera sit on the cage and wait for one to stick it's head up before snatching it up. Still need to get either more grow big or a bloom product with nitrogen. I was able to defoliate that other 10th planet of anything suspect. It's hard work but it's worth it in the end. 8/6 It's like 81 at 4pm. I didn't have time to video this morning but i went back over. WATERED EVERYTHING THIS BUT THE 50 AND THE 10TH PLANET I GOT YESTERDAY. Temps are supposed to pick up soon and it will be in the 90's again. We've had like NO rain. I searched for leaves that had signs of sep to defoliate. I may find one or two but for the most part things are doing great. Overall I'm happy. 8/7 Bought a new bottle of grow big. Wanted to switch to the roots organic teas but I cant do that invthe middle of an already complicated grow. I'll switch nutes next season. I'm noticing some pillar damage. Not much amd I've been hand picking them. I've found a few in curled up leaves. I watered the 10th planet in the front corner that didn't get it yesterday. I hope the watering yesterday will hold them until the morning. I'm still thinking about doing an application of diy Dr. Zymes to clear up any random pests. I'll ask a question and see what other growers on here have to say. EDIT: MY SPIDEY SENSES STARTED TINGLING SO I WENT OVER TO CHECK ON THE GIRLS THIS AFTERNOON. THE MK ULTRA THAT I LEFT NATURAL WAS STARTING TO DROOP. THE REST OF THE GIRLS COULD WAIT. I MIXED WATER FOR ONE OF THE TENS BUT DECIDED AGAINST IT. I DONT WANT TO OVERWATER AND I THINK IT CAN MAKE IT. I GAVE THE MK ULTRA A FULL WATERING CAN WHICH IS ALMOST TWO GALLONS. IT WAS PUCKING UP BYVTHE TIME I LEFT AND WASNT EVEN ALL THE WAY DOWN. IM GLAD I CHECKED. The ONLINE cannabis community can be such a joke. There ARE good groups but this places sucks. I put a question up as PART of the research I was doing and ive received some dumb answers but this was aggressive too. I had it figured out prior to reading the answer but it caught me off guard. I decided that since Im able to keep it suppressed with what im doing (leaf septoria on a couple of plants) than don'tchange it. I've dealt with it before and kept it suppressed but not nearly as well. It was a yes or no question really. Stated for outdoor experienced growers as I was looking to avoid the copy paste/ look how smart I am bullshit. I just have an anxiety disorder and like to hear numerous responses before I act. I figure it out and log on and I get some smart ass response from an INDOOR grower. When I SPECIFICALLY asked for EXPERIENCED OUTDOOR growers (as the question is unique to the outdoor environment and indoor growers seem snobby and seem to get jealous when they see my massive plants a quote what they just searched on the internet). I can read shit on the internet as well and had prior to posting. I'm sorry if my success with a product (that you are unaware of "but can't see how it could work" (despite not knowing the active ingredients by your own admission) and lots of hard work have prevailed. When I have to ditch a plant it's 1/4 to a full elbow. Not an 1/8th. So I won't be burning shit. I hate when people say that. There are cases for it but many new growers have been led astray with stupid advice like this. ESPECIALLY if everything is going GOOD! If a plant was less than perfect I'd put it in my concentrates bag. Not much fits through a 25 micron screen. But by all means burn your plants. I have no idea how I have ZERO wpm this year but I would hear shit like this for a couple leaves "with gravel on them" on a 10ft tall plant that yielded like a pound. So I don't know why I listen or why I even responded. Even if it WAS wpm I would've kept it and washed it. It must be nice to be able to work 20 weeks on something numerous times a day put a bunch of money in it and when you hit flower burn it because you don't want to do the extra work. You can easily tell the people that don't grow outdoors. It's a completely different game. But since I've already written it I'm leaving it. One more thing. You didn't even know what the active ingredients in my product were. How can you make ANY statements about the efficacy of ANYTHING without knowing what it is? You said "unless it's a bunch of silica" that provokes an immune response. It's not silica hun. I've been hunting for years for something that works. Go back to your closet. 8/8 The Lion's Gate Portal. Watered everything but the mk ultra and 10th planet upfront I got yesterday. I was going to feed but I ran out of time. I may still feed today I'm not sure. I found a couple septoria leaves on that pink kush that has "some" soil from last year in it. That is a mistake I won't make again. I'm checking a few times a day and defoliating anything suspect. The girls are looking good. I'm proud of them. Very resilient. They've withstood pretty much everything nature can throw at them. HAIL, torrential downpours, 30mph winds, disease and still they are thriving. There's really jo way to explain the feeling that I get when I come to the garden in the morning and see everything looking good and smell that familiar odor. Serenity I guess. Pure serenity. I'll update if I feed or do anything else.

A beautiful plant and amazing genetic and a great producer. Thank you so much for giving g me the opportunity to grow this magnificent flower. God bless

Hello everyone, fellow growers! welcome to peaky's gardens I had so much fun growing this little girl in a small pot and with a frame around which I twisted my plant I wanted to test her resistance and my experience

Disclaimer: Stunning trichomes here too but after so many photos come down and look... We are in our Dark Time we really want to find colored plants to see what trichomes they have exploring the microworlds like Indiana Jones. This time it's the turn of the new Black Diamond, just released with a very Californian heritage and even more so, ladies and gentlemen here we are again in California it could easily be a plant from the best Californian breeders but it is Zamnesia and maybe it is even better... ** Remember that for all the varieties we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques (come back during the week to see). today we are talking about the harvest of the dark phenotype, which is also the most beautiful and picturesque to show in the hole of both the colas and the wonderful macros. Bad luck wanted the most beautiful plants to finish first so in the next few weeks you will find very nice plants but these colored ones are from another planet. Technique used // In this case we let the plant grow straight with a bit of LST on the lower branches to widen and let it get light and a fimming at a certain point to try to keep the plants in that growbox aligned as much as possible. Better with the techniques or normal? This time we have two slightly different phenotypes, the scent and the flower are similar but this one is really super dark and how can you not prefer it but it's a question of phenotype the yield is excellent also on the other plant that will be harvested soon. Flower quality // From one to 10 stars + infinity. The plant has resined incredibly, the flowers are hard as marble so much that if Michelangelo Buonarroti were still alive he would sculpt a David. Truly beautiful under all points of life, the flowers are so qualitative that it seems to be in California really from the best growers in the world. To remove the stink from the top of the flowers, dust etc. we did the washing of the buds according to the procedure recommended by Luka on Zamnesia, I recommend it to you! Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/guida-growing-cannabis/333-lavaggio-delle-ceme Fertilizers // I managed to unload this plant relatively here the black was fading on some of the sun leaves, it is not completely fading but for the photos I needed a full wild black. For the reasons mentioned above and for an excellent flavor I prefer Organic, All the fertilizers and additives of Plagron in the green / 100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose your soil based on your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com - Bro if you are a stubborn type "I don't put anything in it" use additives listen every now and then.... and then come and tell me about it. The nutrients are available in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website. This strain is truly exceptionally Cali, usually plants bred by Europeans don't look so Cali, not this one. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11187-zamnesia-seeds-black-diamond.html Zamnesia Description // Looking for a potent and reliable feminized strain? Look no further than Black Diamond. This wonderful hybrid crosses Blackberry with Diamond OG, resulting in 90% indica and 10% sativa plants with a respectable THC level of 23%. Growers will love these tall, productive plants, while smokers will enjoy tasty sessions full of sweet aromas and delicious grape flavours. The Black Diamond's qualities continue to shine through when you finally get to sample the flowers. Properly dried and cured, her buds are irresistible, not only for their divine smell but also for their appearance. The predominant aromas in her bouquet are sweet and fruity notes, with the fragrance of grapes taking center stage. You can appreciate these aromas by smoking her in a joint or vaping her, but they will also shine in sweet edibles, and will add a fruity note to your cannabis delights. With their high THC level (23%), these delicious flowers quickly conquer the mind and body with a relaxing and long-lasting effect. The perfect strain to enjoy before a well-deserved rest. Music and Frequencies // For about 4/6 hours a day my plants listen to 432Hz frequencies made especially for their well-being and sometimes a bit of black music to give them those vibrations that only music can give. www.radionula.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is at ---- www.zamnesia.com
