Well, the drought stress in week 11 really fucked my plants up, but Twiggy recovered, while Zoey was hurt pretty bad. If I did nothing, I'm betting harvest would've been 25% more, and Zoey's buds wouldn't look so crappy, but overall, I was so happy with this grow! I was under a time crunch, so only did minimal veg for 4 weeks, topping once. Daily watering with 1.8EC mix that was pretty consistent. Kept pH between 5.5 and 5.8. Kept tight control on humidity and temperature up to mid flower, then kept air circulation on to keep room humidity around 55% Things I'd do differently: 1. Veg longer - I'd love to try a mainline 2. Canopy control - wish I had spent the time on a SCROG screen, or at least a couple of rings. 3. More light sooner into flower. Waited about 4 weeks into flower before maxing out the light. Probably could've bulked them up significantly if I started earlier 4. Drought stressing - For Fucks Sake, keep a close eye on your plants, and the minute they start to wilt, get the water back on 'em!!! 5. Measure your run-off more frequently for salt build-up. Didn't have any problems, but it's a good best practice. 6. Set up proper closed-loop environment to allow for CO2 enrichment. 7. Set up a clone environment before you get to flower. Oops. Things I was happy with: 1. VPD control system (heat, humidity) during veg and early flower worked flawlessly. Never any nute burn, and super healthy plants. 2. Sterilized soil and grow-room before starting - never had a single bug or any mold/mildew issues. Used a MERV 13 filter on the air intake, exhaust through carbon to crawlspace. 3. Coco/perlite mix - super drainage, low build-up, very healthy roots. 4. Power meter - neat way to measure what's really going into the grow, so when your wife complains about power usage, you can show her the real numbers. 5. Photone app on Android S20 - Knew where my PPFD was for optimal growth control. 6. REX-C100 PID controller for toaster oven - super tight temperature control comes in handy for decarbing as well as toasting oak for moonshine.

So all my stuff arrived this week. Will be using fox farm ocean floor soil for this grow. I have blue dream going for this grow. My seeds are germinating and I don’t have pics of them from the paper towel and from when I first put them beneath to soil in the dixi cups. The soil I used was miracle grow bloom potting soil for my initial planting (now I know was probably not the best choice) but I actually noticed some great results to start with the grow. I’ll keep updating as I go and hope to get some great feed back and comments while I go along. Happy growing everyone.

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

8/25/23 - Day 73 - Another week down. We did a water change today. The buds are getting fatter and WAAAAAAY smellier. I have had a couple of times now where I lost a battle to the Skunk BOSS. I have had to reach in to move some buds around because they are too close to the light on some bud sites. You can see one of the buds up top, it has some white to it, I think that's due to being too close to the light. But once I move the buds around, I smell EXACTLY like a skunk. The smell is crazy strong. It's taking several full showers and it's still all over my fingers. Gloves will be an ABSOLUTE must when just reach in for a second. 8/28/23 - Day 76 - The buds are starting to grow even more, that the buds are growing buds out of them. That sounds weird but it's the only way to describe it. It looks like Romanesco. The buds are getting more dank, fatter, and more crystals are forming. 8/29/23 - Day 77 -I did some trimming today. I push some of the buds down and really got my arms in there today. All of the buds have gained so much mass to them when I squeeze them, they are really dense. I left a time laps video of me doing some late trimming, I was noticing some of the cannabis leaves were taking some of the light from the buds. 8/31/23 - Day 79 - The trichomes are still see-through and crystal clear. IM looking for a glossy-type look. My guess is still two/three weeks out. If you are looking for this experience, check out https://www.getleaf.co/

Disclaimer: This plant is very beautiful but if you want to see a spectacular all black one go to the previous week, I took a lot of photos and separated the crops. Our second Black Diamond has given us a color between dark and purple, very beautiful also this one with shades that go from yellow to bright violet and a wonderful trichome park here too. Excellent taste between sweet and a strong smell of Arabica coffee, truly fantastic, my favorite smell in cannabis, if I smell coffee I go crazy. ** Remember that for all the varieties we have at least two plants, one left to grow straight and one worked with the techniques. Today we talk about the plant worked in topping x16 buds, as already said a beautiful straight plant is published in the last week. Technique used // In this case we let the plant grow up to the 3rd internode and then we did the first topping. Below are 3 more toppings repeated without doing anything else until we get to 16 buds. Finally we cleaned the tops that seemed not to rise too high and not to see the light. Better with the techniques or normal? This time we have two phenotypes a little different I prefer the other plant for sure color but this one has a coffee taste perhaps that is irresistible, good production on both. Flower quality // From one to 10 stars + infinity. The plant has resinated incredibly, the flowers are nice and compact not like the other but nice and compact anyway and with a taste that is among my favorites ever. These are also beautiful combat and also for this reason wash well well as this fantastic article by Luke on Zamnesia recommends. Check the article in your language // https://www.zamnesia.io/en/cannabis-growing-guide/333-cement-washing Nutrients // I managed to flush this plant very very well there is a lot of yellow and certainly no residue in the flowers, great flush done, flowers with an incredible taste for a while. For the reasons mentioned above and for an excellent taste I prefer Organic, All Plagron fertilizers and additives in the green / 100% organic version have fully satisfied me. Choose your soil according to your style and calculate the sheet on the website www.plagron.com - Brother 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. Nutrients are available in convenient all-inclusive packages on the Zamnesia website. This strain is truly exceptionally Californian, usually plants grown by Europeans don't look that Californian, 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 beautiful 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 filled with sweet aromas and delicious grape flavours. Black Diamond's qualities continue to shine when you finally get to sample the flowers. When properly dried and cured, her buds are irresistible, not only for their divine smell, but also for their appearance. The predominant aromas in its bouquet are sweet and fruity notes, with the fragrance of grapes taking center stage. You can appreciate these aromas by smoking it in a joint or vaping it, but they will also shine in sweet edibles and 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 432 Hz 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 on ---- www.zamnesia.com

Last week with me not here, the girls seem happy still on the photos and videos I’ve gotten from my flatmate. They are very very bushy so apparently it’s hard to close the tent, so will need to do some serious pruning when I’m back at the start of the week.

Took some clones 1 week before flipping to flower but forgot to take pictures. The video of the clones are from oct 1st. The Turnt smelled like chocolate cover strawberries but now are smelling of garlic and pepper with a bit of undertone of strawyberries. The Diesel smelled like lemon pinesol but now smells of citrus mixed with gas. The Banana Clipz smells of berries mixed with skunk. Paradiso smells of citrus mixed with fruit. Lung Buster smelled lightly sweet at first but now smells like berries mixed with a undertone of garlic,funk, and gas . Spilt Paint smells of berries mixed with diesel and funk.
