So i had to take all my plants inside because i found bud rot on 2 of them & the weather wasn’t going to get any better, had to transform my bedroom into a grow room😂 & i have 2 more plants which i am going to finish next to a window.. The smaller plant to the right is a Northern light by zamnesiaseeds that has a seperate diary if you are interested! I really hope the bud rot doesn’t spread anymore & if anyone has any tips or tricks for that they are always welcome!

Empezamos 3ª semana de crecimiento, durante esta semana, podare los bajos y algún nudo. Tras unos días de recuperación pasaremos a floración. Se empezaron a germinar el día 10/10/23 llevamos 27 días desde que se empezó a germinar. Hoy día están siendo regadas con 1.5 de ec y 6.0 de ph, usando la gama de abonos orgánicos de boom nutrientes y CALMAG. Uso de sustrato el LIGHT MIX de GBNUTRIENTS. Son frondosas con grandes hojas, nudos muy corto entre si y además están verdes. Se nota que la luminaria hace su trabajo sin calentarse y por eso la tengo cerca de las plantas evitando que se "espiguen" **Actualización 08/11** he podado bajos de todas las plantas y alguna hoja grande que tapa las formaciones. En pasar 2-3 días para que se recuperen, pasamos a floración.

This week I've been pulling the top fan leaves to stop the plant growing taller and to allow the side branches to catch up. I also started feeding them. I will probably repot and switch to flower next week now they've all outgrown their mutations.

📆 Semana 2 Durante esta segunda semana, la planta ha experimentado un estirón increíble, aumentando rápidamente su tamaño y desarrollando una estructura mucho más amplia. La floración continúa avanzando y las primeras flores empiezan a definirse con mayor claridad, aprovechando el impulso de crecimiento de esta etapa. La recuperación tras el estrés sufrido durante los incendios sigue siendo muy positiva, mostrando una gran capacidad de adaptación y un desarrollo cada vez más vigoroso. ⚡ EC: 0.6 💧 pH: 6.2 🌡️ Agua: 21°C 🌫️ Humedad: 45–55% 💡 Intensidad: Luz directa del sol 🌱 Aporte nutricional: Se mantienen Silica Force y Sugar Shot, junto con dosis bajas de Master Root y Master Grow. Además, se continúa con Sticky Finger en dosis bajas, permitiendo que la planta lo vaya asimilando progresivamente durante esta etapa de floración. 🔥 Nota de cultivo: El estirón de esta semana ha sido espectacular, con un crecimiento vertical y estructural muy marcado. La planta continúa recuperándose a gran velocidad y empieza a mostrar todo su potencial en esta nueva etapa de floración. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪! !

Missed a day of watering but still looking like they are building proper buds first indoor grow I'd say is going good so far should be starting to flush my mid week on the black domina x Scott's og supposed to be a 7-9 week flowering time but not positive on when to start flush with Coco coir. Remo claims 7 days so I guess we shall see how it looks beginning of week 8.

The flowers are stackiiiiing Its hard to show on camera because all the frost is reflecting but these floweres are purple just beautifull

Great after the mold issue during clone. Recovered good and nice yeild 4.4 Oz tops and mids 3.8 g of rosin and a few Oz of trim to process but man is this stuff good

Wilkommen zu Woche 5 Die Ladys befinden sich nun am Ende der fünften Wachstum Woche. Sie entwickeln sich einfach nur prächtig . In dieser Woche haben Sie die letzte Fütterung bekommen . Ab Morgen werden die Ladys unter einer schönen Sanlight EVO 4 80 in die Blüte geleitet. Freu mich mega auf die nächste Phase und hoffe ihr Bleibt dabei . Falls ihr Lust auf unschlagbare Preise in Sachen Grow habt und gute Beratung , lasse ich euch gerne einen Link da 🍻 https://www.tomate-growshop.de/ Danke und bis nächste Woche Much love 🍀 GrowWithFlow 🍀

Except for drying, curing, and smoking, this concludes my Medusa F1 grow. I harvested the plant on day 92. Overall, the plant was a thrill to watch grow. It thrived from day one, and I am more than happy with a wet yield of 336 grams given my setup. The buds are large, dense, laden with trichomes, and they have a great calyx-to-leaf ratio. I discovered a few mites on this plant and its neighbor (a Milky Way F1) in the last 7-10 days. However, the Medusa F1 resisted them so well that they barely multiplied. Or, if they did multiply, they left the Medusa for the Milky Way. The final proof of my efforts will be in the dry yield and quality of smoke. Sometimes I trim wet and sometimes I trim dry. In this case, I'm going to dry trim, so I just cut the plant and hung it upside down from a line in an out-of-the-way room that I can keep dim. There is a little circulation in the room via floor registers. I will return in due time with a dry weight and smoke report. SMOKE REPORT After drying for 6-7 days, I dry-trimmed and jarred up my Medusa F1 harvest. It was a breeze to trim because of its high calyx-to-leaf ratio. To me, that's a big plus. After 11 days in the jar, I had one bud lab-tested for potency, and then decided to proceed with my smoke report out of excitement at seeing the numbers (see below & photos). I added a ton of photos and one video to this smoke report (trimming setup, dried buds in and out of jars, proof-of-smoke video). Regarding taste and aroma, the buds smell mildly of herbs (sandalwood?) and pepper, and the same aromas carry over in the smoke. Regarding potency & effects, the bud I sampled (3 pulls) was quite strong, non-drowsy, and it came on in a quick rush. The rush peaked about 5-10 minutes after smoking, and I would describe the high as "stoney" in the traditional sense, but also "up." For about half an hour, the effects were enough to disrupt my focus -- definitely a strong high. Then, my focus returned and the sensations changed to a milder pleasant buzz, which lasted a couple hours before tapering off. The material smoked left behind nice white ash. POTENCY TESTING RESULTS TAC: 22.5% THC-A: 21.8% CBG-A: .68% Terpenes: Medium (1-2%)

All going extremely well in the room. No problems. Purple punch is just starting to fade 20.4.23 Filled tank with winter frost 23gal Ec 0.8 Ph5.9 Outside pineapple chunk Looking lovely. 17.4.23 3L watered on top with 15ml bio heaven 12ml top max Then put 750ml plain water on top 21.4.23 Started feeding winter frost Ec6.4 no ph down

Guys seventh week of flowering ended, hopefully 2 still missing! I can't wait to taste these buds, now I also dream of them at night haha

Love her will grow

Yum, yum !!! Took some cuts of all three this week and think the gorilla girl is going to be a great candidate for half the garden next grow. Just love the size and smell of the flowers!!

Hello Canna Fam, So I missed a week diary entry so I will do week 13 and then 14 sometime tomorrow. Anyway I harvested the six shooter and the bud structure is very mutated so I am not expect much solid bud. I’m my next entry I will update the dry weight yields and reviews to the harvested Gorilla Cookies, LSD-25 and Girl Scout Cookies😍 For now the late blooming Gorilla Glue is thickening while she flushed and the EC levels drop.

Harvest

💎 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. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys and learn from one another. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics that gave us this incredible Black Diamond phenotype. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the plants throughout this adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for providing 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 maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you for following, commenting, asking questions and sharing this adventure with me. Every plant has a story. Every phenotype has a personality. And Black Diamond Pheno A? She's writing hers in capital letters. 💎 BEAST MODE. One of the bestiest in the room. 😂💚 Let's make her shine. Growers Love! 💚🌿💎

I have made a video to represent the 4 Weeks and four week mark (28 days old) this week has been pure progress and training! I actually made a boo boo this morning before feeding on 1 of my criticals and had to remove my pipe cleaners and postpone training as I have split the main stem into 2 (after reading about that today SMH) but I’ve dealt with this before and I shall wait for it to heal I have used plant ties and tightened it to hold back in place and now waiting game maybe 3-5 days while healing and I’ll scrog from there as I’m looking to go 12-12 at the 6 week mark! Hope you enjoy the video! Bringing a little difference to GD! I’ve added my ppm’s too as I have an EC/TDS meter now! Happy growing buddies!

Fungus gnats coming with the soil might take the chance to come out now for breeding. i'm waiting with a 9 mm rifle. in the past i found 6 gnats in 2 of 8 x 50 l biobizz lightmix bags coming out of the soil. i could eliminate every single gnat successfully ;) rotating harvest: the little ones will be harvested completely when ready. at this point only the top branches of the big ones will be cut...and the new (basic-watered) pots of the new grow will move into the tent. 2-3 weeks later the secod half of the big ones will be cut and the second half of the new grow will move in... nutes: biobizz / soil: biobizz lightmix bloom,grow,topmax,activera,algamic + aminopower instead of bio heaven (too expensive) individual feeding schedule/once a week: veg: 200 - 600 ppm bloom: 600 - 900 ppm water: ro-water with: veg: 100-150 ppm calmag bloom: 150 ppm calmag

11-28 Last week on my veg, saw first hair today. Thought she may be a bit bigger by now, but its coming 💪 She got 1k water yesterday with silica 5ml, cal/mag 3ml, drops of balance 1ml, yucca 1/64 tsp. 1/2 tsp recharge and 1 ounce EM1. 12-1 Water 2k ml. Adjusted lst a bit and stripped her leafs. She been through a lot. I may or may have stunted her a bit. Maybe she will kick in. Waiting a minute before anything else. 12-2 Bumped light to 75%. She should start stretching any day/time. .

14-10-2021: Actually I have to start a next week by tomorrow but I have changed so much today I decided to start a new week today.It is still not easy to maintain a VPD of 0.7..... Well it is only an indication in my case because unfortunately I still do not measure the leaf temperature. Temperature was a bit on the high side last night because the temperature sensor of the PK125 has now ended up under the foliage. Of course it is a lot cooler there so it kept running at 10% I have adjusted that, so tomorrow I expect a completely different temperature trend. Also completely emptied the system today and replaced the Hy-Pro with Ata Awa MAX. I have exchanged the Calmag with the Green Sensation, so this will also be dosed (1 ml/L) from now on. I will add Calmag from now on with a pipette. Let's see how the PH is going, as the packaging of the ATA states that it is self-regulating. If that is the case I will put CALMAG in the reservoir of the PH- and reprogram the system. I have chosen not to scrog today. I drilled a hole in the middle and the container to the right of it and killed quite a few roots (unfortunately the drill went through) and that seems, in combination with other nutrition, a suddenly somewhat lower temperature and the torture between the leaves to to get the sensor in place is enough stress for 1 day to me. So they can now go to sleep and tonight we'll see if there is damage. I'm guessing it's not that bad because previous experiences have told me that they can take quite a bit. 17-10-2021: Flowers are starting to form. 18-10-2021: 2 hours of bondage ;) 139 tie-wraps. Damn.. this is a lot of work on a daily basis 20-10-2021: Finally some white hairs on them.. Damn... never took this long. Will it be because of the high temperature?
