Did some defoliation very light just made sure nothing is blocking the lower nodes to much but other than that been feeding heavy then watering with just cal mag for two waterings then heavy. Next watering will be a 900 to 950 ppm mix.

So far so good,topped at 1 week.Getting busy with lst soon.👍

Great start for week 8, did some defoliation and removed some low leaves, did not feed Floragro since I don't want them to grow more ( No space ) after stoped feeding them Flora grow, they focused on blooming. Interesting week so far.

All in all this grow was super easy. I couldve done some things to make it better but she pretty much did all the work. This strain would be perfect for a SOG style grow because it produces mostly a singular main cola nug that's pretty huge and then the bottom nugs themselves are also decently chunky. 4/22 chopped the lower half the plant. Wet it weighs 50grams. Still have the main cola in a dark room for another day or so before im gonna chop. 4/26 bottom half of plant dried in 4 days. 5/2 top cola dried in 5 days. Total weight is less than 20 grams at 19.4 5/12. Ten days of cure and shes looking even better. Spongey thick nugs. Dark red almost brown Pistils with pyramid shaped nugs. I also wanted to not how fast and easy this grow actually was. She has so much amber I probably couldve chopped her 2 weeks previous. 3 weeks veg and 5 weeks flowering and some would chop. Review. Growing 9/10 for ease of growth Super fast and simple. You can Fuck up and get fat buds lol High: 9/10 super stoney. No paranoia Yield:8/10 plant a super short. Like less than a foot. Can probably yield around a zip roughly Bag appeal: 7/10after cure buds look good. Before harvest buds look fantastic as well

Nun wurde meine Eigenkreation dem Netz unterbunden und sie entwickelt sich prächtig. Nach einer weiteren Woche des Wachstums wird es Zeit die Damen in die Blüte zu schicken. Das Wachstum ist außerordentlich homogen und die Interniodenabstände relativ Kurz. Eine schöne Hybridform mit aktuell überwiegenden Indica Einschlag. 💚🌲🥦

Day 56 - CM is super fat, frosty & extremely dank smelling! The gorilla girl still hasn’t got any bigger but is definitely smelling strong. Very curious to see how they smoke! Make sure to check back for more updates, thanks for following & happy growing friends!🙏🏼🌱✌️🏼

🌱 Week 2 Report: The Journey Evolves 🌱 Grow Fam, the adventure is in full swing! 🌟 The Gorilla Melon from Fast Buds is out and shining its light, and the Papaya Zoap has made its debut in the Cannakan, bringing with it a story that adds even more depth to this incredible run. When the universe speaks, we listen. 🍈✨ I didn’t plan on popping Papaya Zoap from Sweet Seeds just yet, but sometimes things just have a way of aligning. After a few other seeds didn’t germinate, I felt an inner pull toward this special strain. As it turns out, the universe had something beautiful in mind! Just days later, my brother @daggadna also began germinating the same genetics—gifted to us during Spannabis. Was it a coincidence? I don’t think so. 🌱 This is more than just a grow now—it’s a journey with purpose, guided by synchronicity and connection. I can already feel the magic building up with this one, and I can’t wait to see where this road takes us! Now, onto the Papaya Zoap… something tells me this plant is going to take us on a ride we didn’t expect but absolutely needed. 💚 Let’s make something incredible, Brother Dagga—this one’s going to be legendary. Gear Updates: All Systems Go 🚀 This week, everything’s dialed in perfectly with the TrolMaster system. Shout out to the incredible DSH-2U Humidity Station! 🌬️ This tool is giving me precision control over the RH (relative humidity) ranges in the room, keeping the environment just right for my babies. Having that accurate readout and control allows me to maintain optimal levels for each stage of growth. It’s like magic—you plug it in, set the desired ranges, and let it do its thing! 🌡️ By monitoring and adjusting humidity levels on-the-fly through the TrolMaster app, I can ensure the environment remains stable, and that means happier plants and healthier growth! No more guessing games. From anywhere—whether I’m working in the garden or chilling out—I can track and tweak it all. Heck, I could be on the toilet and still have complete control over my room! 😂 The AMP-3 Precision Meter has been running 24/7 in my water solution, giving me real-time updates so I can make any corrections when needed, right from my phone. This tech has taken my grow to another level. ✨ Nutrition Update: Keeping It Balanced 🍃 As for feeding, we’re sticking with the basics to give the plants what they need, without overloading. Right now, I’m running: • Regulator: 0.15ml/l • Startbooster: 0.25ml/l For now, I feel like this is the sweet spot—just enough to encourage root development and early growth without overloading them. I’ll be adjusting the feed as we go deeper into the grow, keeping an eye on how they respond. You know me, always tweaking and improving along the way! Shoutouts & Gratitude 🙌💚 Huge love to everyone following along—whether you’re here on Grow Diaries, over on YouTube, or on IG. Your support keeps this journey alive, and I am so grateful for every comment, like, and message! Special shoutout to my sponsors for fueling this project: • Nutrition: @aptusholland @aptus_world @aptus_es @aptusbrasil @aptus_thailand @aptus_portugal @aptususa_official @aptusplanttechnz @aptusplanttechaus • Controls: @trolmaster.eu @trolmaster.eu.support @trolmaster.support @trolmaster.agro • Soil: @promix_growers_eur @promix_cannabis @promixmitch More to come soon, and you won’t want to miss it! 📺 I’m also documenting everything on my YouTube channel, and I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes content on IG, so hit that subscribe button and follow along. Let’s grow together, fam! Growers Love to All 💚 The love and support from the grow community is something I never take for granted. This journey wouldn’t be the same without all of you!

Let’s see what magic we can create together! #HighFrequency #PositiveVibesOnly #PapayaZoap #GorillaMelon #TrolMaster #InBalanceWithNature #GrowLife #AptusTruePlantScience #GrowersLove

Still waiting to see if Defoliating my entire room was indeed a good idea. Who knows? Not me. SBG? Maybe. I will know in a few weeks. Thanks for staying tuned

Well they sprouted early April veg started April 14 and they've been kept in the same 10 gallon pots I have one seed that's two weeks behind two beautiful 2.5 footers and 1 3 footer with tons of inter nodes and small flower everywhere there levels are perfect and I'm using high nutrient based soil and providing the flower enhanced fe D's since week 3 they've been kept in the same condition there while life...only now showing cal deficiency so it will be corrected very soon they are an amazing set of ladies thanks bomb seeds ...I'm using 440true we 110/plnt at 32" above soil level now and I have increased the deeds they get 5gallons of feed every second day and gradually increase as the size does..I feel I'm catching up to my biggest one she's finally bit looking so hungry all the time she just took off on me but all an all in excited

I’m feeding megacrop A+B full bloom +epsom+silica. Not much else to do. I expect the plant to be ready in 20 days, more or less. Last week I raised the light a little since I found damage on top leaves. I think I’ll change pot next growth. I’ve calculated that a bonsai style pot, bigger and shallower than my actual one, would contain at least 3 times the volume of medium. Day 64 - Damage is spreading on all small top leaves, I guess these were not frying because of lights. A full dose of megacrop it’s probably too much for a plant watered with a dripping system, I’ll keep than in mind for my next crop. Day 65 - Plant is drinking like crazy, yesterday it consumed much more than usual, almost 9 liters. I’m going refill the reservoir today with megacrop AB+epsom at 2/3 of the suggested dose.

Nach der anfänglichen euphorie die Cookie Gelato wächst sehr schnell , kommt jetzt mal wieder die Erkenntnis das es in die Waagerechte immer viel langsamer voran geht. Aber sie wird immer kräftiger und drückt ordentlich das Netz hoch. Ein beherzter Low Stress ist also sehr zu empfehlen bei dieser Variationen. An Tag 47 habe die Gute ordentlich entlaubt und unnötige Zweige entfernt.

she is starting to flower she has firs signs so i am starting an experiment. cutting off all the fan leaves she has lets see how will she respond wish me luck <3

120x240 1200watt Very strong and hardy plants, the potential of which remains a mystery to me. The automatic watering system will help me find out their maximum. Stress and training are tolerated very well, the genetics are very stable and interesting.

Day 9: installed this Pro Co2 bucket in my grow tent 2 days ago. Really looking forward to see what this addition brings and if Co2 can really improve a run. Only time will tell Day 12: Everything is going good.. Added Foxfarm Acid Lovers dry fertilizer, scratched it into the top inch of soil about a tbsp and a half and watered good. I checked ph the other day and somehow soil ph was all the way up to 7.0 hopefully this FFAL will drop that a little. Also got some trifold poster boards and stapled sheets of mylar to them to reflect more light. 12/2 Ending week 2 gotta say everything is going as good as I could hope this lady is in full affect first time ever growing this strain and I can tell its a good one. Great genetics can't wait to see end result

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 9 | The Other Beast 💎🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Well... Her sister is doing her thing. And if you've been following this adventure, you already know what that means. Pheno A is in full beast mode. 😂💎 She's massive. She's loaded. She's throwing flowers everywhere. And she's making sure nobody forgets she's in the room. But then I look at her sister... And I have to smile. Because Pheno B is also a beast. Just a different kind. And that's exactly what makes these two so fascinating. Same genetics. Same room. Same light. Same nutrition. Same irrigation. Same environmental conditions. Both beautiful. Both vigorous. Both now cleaned up with some selective defoliation. Both entering this increasingly exciting stage of flowering. And yet... very, very different. That's phenotype hunting. And I absolutely love it. 🌱 One Room. Two Black Diamond Stories. The 8×8 Adventure was never about making twelve plants look identical. Quite the opposite. The whole point was to give different genetics and phenotypes the same ecosystem and then watch what they decide to do with it. Twelve plants. One room. 12/12 from seed. One general nutritional strategy. One environmental strategy. One lighting ecosystem. And then... genetics take over. Black Diamond Pheno A has developed one expression. Black Diamond Pheno B has developed another. They're sisters. But they're definitely not twins. 😂💎 And at Week 9, that difference is becoming impossible to miss. 💎 The Other Beast Last week, I was talking about Pheno B as the quieter sister. The more reserved phenotype. The one that wasn't necessarily trying to dominate the room. Well... I may need to revise that description slightly. 😂 Because this girl has been steadily building. And now? She's a beast too. Standing around 160 cm, she's developed into a beautiful, substantial flowering plant. But her strength isn't expressed exactly like her sister's. Where Pheno A seems to throw herself into flower production with almost reckless enthusiasm, Pheno B has that more controlled, elegant architecture. She's still tall. She's still heavily branched. She's still carrying flowers throughout her structure. She's still becoming increasingly frosty. She's just doing it in her own way. And that's what I want to document. Not which sister is “better.” But how differently two phenotypes can express themselves when everything around them is kept so similar. ✂️ The Beast Got a Little Grooming This week, just like her sister, Pheno B received some selective defoliation. Again... Nothing extreme. We're not trying to strip the plant down. We're simply opening some space where the canopy has become crowded. A few leaves needed to come out. Some areas benefited from additional breathing room. And as flowering progresses, maintaining a sensible balance between foliage, airflow and flower visibility becomes increasingly important in a room containing this many plants. The goal isn't to change her personality. It's to reveal it. And I think that's exactly what happened. After the cleanup, you can appreciate the structure much more clearly. The flowering sites become easier to see. The branches become easier to follow. And suddenly you realize just how much she's actually carrying. 🌿 Similar Sisters. Very Different Personalities. This is probably my favourite part of this week's update. Put Pheno A and Pheno B next to each other and you immediately know they're related. There are similarities. The overall flower development. The vigorous growth. The healthy foliage. The general Black Diamond character. But then you start looking closer... And the differences appear. Their architecture isn't the same. Their flower distribution isn't exactly the same. Their proportions aren't the same. Their way of occupying the room isn't the same. Their personalities aren't the same. And that's the magic. Same family. Different handwriting. One sister says: "Give me the whole tent." The other says: "I'll take my space, thank you very much." 😂💎 And somehow... both are absolutely beautiful. 🌸 Flower Development Is Getting Serious At this point in the flowering cycle, the flowers are becoming increasingly defined. The calyxes are stacking. The pistils remain abundant. The developing buds are gaining structure and volume. And the resin is becoming much more obvious. Looking through this week's photographs, that's one of the first things that catches my eye. She's getting frostier. The sugar leaves are beginning to disappear underneath the resin. The developing flowers are becoming increasingly coated. And we're still watching that transformation happen week by week. This is where the earlier weeks of growth start paying off. The branches we watched develop. The flowering sites we watched appear. The structure we watched form. Now they're all becoming flowers. And that is incredibly satisfying to watch. ❄️ The Frost Is Arriving I particularly like the close-ups this week. You can see that the resin coverage is becoming much more apparent across the developing flowers and sugar leaves. She's not finished. We're not at the end of the story. But the direction is very clear. She's getting frosty. And I have a feeling that the coming weeks are going to make these photographs even more interesting. This is one of those moments where the plant starts changing visually in a way that's immediately noticeable. Every update seems to bring another layer. More structure. More resin. More density. More personality. 🍃 Healthy Green, Beautiful Structure One of the things I continue to appreciate about Pheno B is her overall appearance. She's maintaining that rich, healthy green. The foliage remains vigorous. The plant has enough leaves to support continued flower development while still responding well to the selective cleanup we've given her. And this is important. Defoliation isn't the objective. A healthy, functional plant is the objective. If a leaf is doing its job, that's valuable. If removing a leaf improves the overall structure of a crowded canopy, that can also be valuable. It's always a balance. And with this girl, I think we've found a nice middle ground. She's still lush. She's still green. She's still unmistakably herself. But now there's a little more room to appreciate what she's building underneath. 💡 Light From Above and Below The lighting experiment continues to be particularly interesting with these two sisters. The main Future of Grow lighting provides the primary overhead illumination. The Lumiflora under-canopy lighting adds another layer of usable light lower within the plant. And with Pheno B's architecture, there's plenty to observe. She's tall enough that different parts of the plant naturally experience different light levels. At the same time, her structure isn't identical to Pheno A's. So once again, the same lighting system is interacting with a different phenotype. That's exactly what I want from this experiment. Not assumptions. Observation. We give them the same opportunity. Then we watch how differently they use it. 💧 Feeding the Black Diamond The flowering nutrition continues according to the same general program used throughout the room. 🌸 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 Current solution is around pH 6.0 with an EC of approximately 2.0 mS/cm. Watering is around 1.3 L per plant / 24h. And once again, the important part is consistency. Pheno B isn't receiving some secret recipe that her sister doesn't get. She's living in the same ecosystem. And yet... she is expressing herself differently. That's the information I'm interested in. 🌡️ Current Conditions Current conditions for Week 9: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 160 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: 636 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h The environment remains stable. And that's exactly what allows the comparison between phenotypes to become so interesting. The environment stays relatively constant. The plants write the differences. 📸 This Week's Gallery The photographs this week really show why this girl deserves her own spotlight. The wider shots show her overall architecture. She's tall. She's developed. She's carrying flowers throughout her structure. And after the cleanup, those flowers are much easier to appreciate. The close-ups tell the other part of the story. Fresh pistils. Developing calyxes. Increasing resin. More defined flower structure. More frost. And then you look at her sister... And you realize: These two really are very different. Similar enough that you immediately know they're related. Different enough that you could never confuse one personality for the other. And honestly? That's exactly what I hoped this experiment would show. 💎 The Sisterhood of the Beast I think we can officially say it now. Both Black Diamond sisters are beasts. Pheno A is doing her thing. Pheno B is doing hers. Both have been cleaned up. Both are carrying serious flowers. Both are getting increasingly frosty. Both are looking beautiful. But they are absolutely not the same plant wearing different labels. 😂💎 And that's the beauty of it. You can give two sisters the same room, the same treatment and the same opportunity... and they'll still find their own way. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now I'm watching for the same things I've been watching across the rest of the room: 🌸 Flower swelling ❄️ Increasing resin production 🌿 Continued canopy health 💎 Development of the lower flowers 🍃 Response to the selective defoliation 🔬 Overall maturation And, of course... I'm watching the sisters. Because now that both are entering this heavier flowering stage, the comparison is becoming even more fascinating. Will Pheno B continue building at her own steady rhythm? Will the differences between them become even more pronounced? Will the flowers develop differently as they mature? That's what we're here to find out. 💚 Let This Girl Shine I think this girl has earned her own moment. She's not Pheno A. And she doesn't need to be. She's Black Diamond Pheno B. She's developed her own architecture. Her own rhythm. Her own flower distribution. Her own personality. And now she's showing us another version of what this genetic line can produce. Her sister may be running around the room in full beast mode... but this girl? She's right there with her. Just in her own style. 😂💎🌿 So we cleaned her up. We opened some space. We gave her a little room to breathe. And now... let's watch her shine. Because she's earned it. 💎 Final Thoughts Week 9 is another reminder of why I love this 8×8 Adventure so much. Two Black Diamond plants. Same genetics. Same room. Same environment. Same general feeding. Same lighting. Same irrigation. And still... two completely different stories. Pheno A is explosive. Pheno B is more composed. Pheno A seems determined to turn everything into a cola. Pheno B has her own way of building. But both are beautiful. Both are vigorous. Both are becoming increasingly frosty. Both needed a little cleanup. And both are showing us just how much personality can exist inside the same genetic line. That's phenotype hunting. You don't tell the plant what story to tell. You create the conditions... and listen. And this girl is speaking very clearly now. "I'm not my sister." "I'm my own beast." And you know what? I absolutely love that. Let's make her shine. 💎💚🌿 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and coming back every week to watch these personalities develop. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document, compare, learn and share these journeys. Thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Black Diamond genetics that gave us these two fascinating sisters. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the plants throughout this adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving the room. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into the experiment and giving us another dimension to observe. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone reading, commenting, asking questions and following these girls week after week. Two sisters. One genetic line. One room. One experiment. Very similar. Very, very different. And now... two beautiful beasts. 💎🔥 Let's make this one shine. Growers Love! 💚🌿💎

Week 2 of flower for these girls. I decided to use a lesser dose of nutes because I noticed after a few days after my feed last week that there may have been some leaf burn. -I changed up the nutrients a little and also finished putting up my inline fan - pulling fresh air from outside in for CO2. I simply used ducts for it. Now that cooler air is coming in from outside I can slowly turn up my lights to 900 watts, I’ll see how they do in about a day or 2 more and then the lights will switch to 1000watts. -Did some more defoliation. The leaves grow so fast!! Took 2 days to do all my plants lol I’m trying to do it every week or other week -The plants are drinking a lot more than they used to, I’m now feeding water every second day and nutes every second day! They’re growing so fast before my eyes It’s such a cool feeling seeing all my hard work coming along, with the first buds popping up and looking like real weed now. Feeling motivated! 😇

Day 66 I have not givin her any nutes last week just ph'd water (6.5) Still white hairs here and there... Seen milky trichomes but no brown ones on the buds yet.. Im goin for a couch lock kind of high... I want some milky cloudy and brown trichomes.. Upcoming days she wil get just water 6.5 and we see what happens.. Almost forgot... been givin her les water.. tryin to water stress her a bit and dry her out a bit Im very happy with how the buds look.. Outdoor super lemon haze growing fine aswel.. Not much to say chek her out 👍 Peaceeeee 🌴

It’s week 2 already. Week 2 is maybe, maybe, the most important week of the plants life. Time to turn the humidity down based on the temperature your room holds, with as much light as you can create. Now is also the time to introduce co2…as long as your humidity and temperature is right and there’s LOTS OF LIGHT. Co2+light=photosynthesis, and in a perfect world your temp is 78 degrees, humidity 50-55%. These are the only things that matter now. These plants are killing it right now growing visible amounts in just a few days. Every thing was pulled off the plant that is under the netting. While the plants were stretching everything was forced back under the net for the 1st 10 days of flower. Then everything is allowed to grow vertically for the rest of flower. At the end of week 2 is super important. I let the plants dry all the way out. If you think they are dry, wait another day. This is to get as much oxygen to the root zone as possible. Then I flush the plants with 1.0 EC that consists of 50ml/10gal cal mag, 50ml/10gal of sturdy stalk(potassium silicate) and 50ml/10gal of canna pk13/14. Canna pk13/14 is the only non Emerald Harvest product I’ve used in the last 3 years. After the dry out/1.0ec flush of the plants we push the plants with daily 2.0ec feedings until it’s time to flush with fresh water the last week or so of its life. Happy growing and see you next week!
