By now I also cut the second Apple strudel so just papaya cookies and banana purple punch are left now, in the meantime the other are drying slowly, the guava is ready for trimming and curing. I’m very curious about the quantity from each plant now. Happy growing!

I'm really happy about the quality of this strain, but I'm unhappy about the final results.. I think it was a setup mistake in the room, it probably took lots of heat but I got other seeds of it I'll probably will do another diary with her! Okay guys, thanks for the support and we will se in the next room, happy growing to everyone 💚🍀💯

Flowering day 65 since time change to 12/12 Hey guys :-) . It is nearly time . Harvest next week :-) . Watering would be done twice this week with 1 l each (nutrients see table above) Otherwise it was checked and everything was cleaned. Have fun and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 Flowering day 65 since time change to 12/12 Hey guys :-) . It is nearly time . Harvest next week :-) .

The plant is showing signs of being completely ready and I decided to test the Myth of putting the plan 48 hours in darkness one plant I decided to chop it down right away the other one I will put it in 48 hours of darkness and I'm going to see if there is any true difference in flavour and taste or Racine since both plans are clones they should be identical in end so any true difference between them will show If there is any truth to the myth or put it down as a false. Despite being lots of mistakes along the way and suffering a lot from many different issues the plant has grown nicely in the garden and it has thrive in the Canadian environment. I will update later on when the plans are completely dry and I cut it for for the curing process and also for check out how heavy they are thank you for reading have a happy grow. After three weeks in curing process there is no true difference between both of them neither a bag of peel but unfortunately the one that I cut first retain more flavor and smell typical of the plant rather than the one that was left 48 hours in darkness the only thing I have not test is for rosin production because my machine have not arrived yet other than that the one that I not allowed any dark. Has better high better flavour and better smell than the other one this doesn’t mean that the 48 hrs. Doesn’t have any validation this only proves that in my garden I have no practical application for this technique . Thank you for reading have a happy grow

Jun 10: Getting droopy. Watered less than half gallon of Ph 6.7 water. Jun 12: That watering really gave a growth spurt! Gonna bump the humidity up to a max of 81% til we get further into veg. Jun 13: Plant is tall enough to tie some good looking limbs down and also the main stem to the side. Jun 15: Buckets are getting lighter, but the soil is moist, meaning my humidity was too high. That lead to some mold and algae that I will treat with spray Neem oil. Smells terrible, but should do the trick. Lowering humidity to 65% for a bit, then will probably get closer to 75% over the next few days.

Day 36 - She's still growing. At a faster rate than the Stardawg is but slowing down compared to previous weeks. Flowers just starting to develop. I got a new toy, time lapse camera. Will be interesting what it shows from now on! 1 second in the video is an hour real time. Enjoy! Day 39 - Timelapse added. Day 40 - 4x CXB3590's added. Pics should be lit nicely from now on.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 10 | Quietly Shining in Her Own Way 💎🌿 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Sometimes a plant doesn't need to make a lot of noise to get your attention. Sometimes she doesn't demand. She doesn't stretch dramatically. She doesn't create another problem for the grower to solve. She simply... keeps moving. And that's exactly where Black Diamond Pheno B is right now. She's not moving as fast as her sister. She's definitely more leafy. She's a little more relaxed in the way she approaches flowering. But she's still beautiful. She's still developing. She's still shining. And honestly? I really like that about her. Because in a room full of different personalities, not everybody needs to be the loudest one. Pheno B has her own way of doing things. And she's doing it beautifully. 💎 The Quiet Sister Keeps Shining If you've been following this adventure, you already know that Black Diamond Pheno A and Pheno B have become one of my favourite comparisons in the entire room. Same genetics. Same environment. Same lighting. Same general nutrition. Same irrigation philosophy. Same grower. And yet... completely different expressions. Pheno A has been giving us the "LOOK AT ME!" version of Black Diamond. 😂💎 Pheno B? She's more like: "I'm right here. You'll notice me eventually." And you absolutely do. Because although she's moving at a calmer pace, she's developing beautifully. She's not asking for much attention. She's asking for what every plant asks for: Water. Nutrition. A good environment. And time. We're providing all of that. And she's doing the rest. 🌿 More Leafy, More Relaxed One of the clearest differences this week is the amount of foliage she's carrying. Compared with her sister, Pheno B is definitely the more leafy expression. She's maintaining a fuller, greener appearance, and her structure has that slightly more relaxed character we've been seeing throughout the run. And I like it. I don't want every phenotype to look identical. Actually, that would completely defeat the purpose of this adventure. We're giving these girls the same opportunity and letting genetics show us what they want to do. Pheno B has decided that she wants to keep a little more foliage around herself while she continues developing her flowers. Fine by me. She's healthy. She's moving. She's shining. So why would I try to make her something else? 🌸 The Flowers Are Still Moving The fact that she's progressing more slowly than her sister doesn't mean she's standing still. Far from it. The flowers continue developing. The structures are becoming increasingly established. The pistils remain prominent. And the overall flowering picture continues to move forward. She's simply taking her time. And honestly... that's something I appreciate more and more as this project continues. There isn't a single correct speed. There isn't a single correct structure. There isn't a single correct expression. There are twelve plants in this room, and every one of them is writing a slightly different story. Pheno B's story is a little quieter. But it's still a very beautiful one. ❄️ The Frost Is Still There And let's not forget the resin. Because even though this girl isn't trying to steal the spotlight with explosive growth, she's still giving the camera plenty to look at. The flowers continue developing their frosty appearance. The trichomes are becoming increasingly noticeable. And those close-up photographs really show the contrast between her green foliage and the developing resin-covered flowers. She's not finished. We're still watching the flowers mature. But she's clearly heading in the right direction. And every week, there's another little detail that catches my eye. That's what makes photographing these girls so addictive. You think you've seen everything... then you get closer. 📸💎 💚 She Doesn't Ask for Much This might actually be my favourite thing about Pheno B this week. She's easy. Not because she's doing nothing. Because she's simply not demanding much beyond the basics. Give her water. Give her nutrition. Keep the environment consistent. And let her work. That's it. She's not asking me to constantly intervene. She's not trying to run away from the canopy. She's not creating some new emergency every other day. She's just... growing. And sometimes that's exactly what a grower wants. 😂🌿 Especially when you have other girls in the room making sure you never get bored. 👭 Very Different Sisters The comparison between the two Black Diamond phenotypes is becoming even more interesting now. Pheno A: 💎 Bigger presence 🔥 More aggressive development 🌸 Heavy flower production ❄️ Rapidly increasing frost 👑 Constantly demanding the spotlight Pheno B: 🌿 More leafy 💚 More relaxed 🌸 Developing at her own pace ❄️ Still becoming increasingly frosty 😌 Asking for very little attention And yet... both are beautiful. That's the important part. I'm not looking at Pheno B and thinking: "Why aren't you doing what your sister is doing?" I'm looking at her and thinking: "Show me what YOU become." That's the experiment. 🌱 Same Room. Different Expression. This is something I want to keep repeating because it's really the heart of the entire 8×8 Adventure. For anyone discovering this diary for the first time: We're running twelve different plants together in the same room under the same general conditions. The plants share the same environmental strategy. They share the same lighting ecosystem. They follow the same general nutritional approach. They receive the same grower's attention. And yet... they don't behave the same. That's genetics. And when two plants from the same genetic line behave differently? That's even more fascinating. Black Diamond Pheno A and Pheno B are giving us a beautiful example of exactly that. Same name. Same genetic origin. Different personalities. 💡 The Lighting Ecosystem Continues The lighting setup remains another interesting part of this experiment. The main Future of Grow LED lighting provides the primary overhead illumination, while the additional lighting within the canopy continues adding another layer to the environment. And Pheno B's more leafy structure makes her particularly interesting to watch. More foliage means a different canopy structure. Different architecture means different ways for light to interact with the plant. I'm not going to pretend that every difference we see can be attributed to one specific variable. That's not the point. The point is to observe. And when the environment stays consistent while the plants continue expressing themselves differently... that's where things become really interesting. 💧 Give Her What She Wants There isn't much drama in the feeding department this week. And that's a good thing. Pheno B continues receiving the same general flowering nutrition strategy as the room. 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment products — as required The recorded solution remains around pH 6.0, with an EC of approximately 2.0 mS/cm. Watering remains around 1.3 L per plant / 24h. She's not asking for anything special. She's simply receiving what she needs... and getting on with the job. 💚🌱 🌡️ Current Conditions The current recorded conditions for Week 10 are: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 160 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h The room remains remarkably consistent. And once again, that consistency makes the differences between the plants even more interesting. The room provides the stage. The genetics write the performance. 📸 A Beautiful Plant Doesn't Need to Be the Fastest Looking through this week's photographs, I think Pheno B makes an important point. You don't have to be the fastest plant in the room to be impressive. You don't have to be the biggest. You don't have to demand attention. You don't have to constantly change. Sometimes you just need to keep progressing. And she is. The structure is beautiful. The foliage is healthy. The flowers continue developing. The resin is appearing. The plant is moving toward maturity. She's doing exactly what she needs to do. And that deserves recognition. 💎 The Other Black Diamond I think that's probably the best way to describe her now. Not the smaller Black Diamond. Not the slower Black Diamond. Not the less impressive Black Diamond. Just... the other Black Diamond. Her sister has her personality. She has hers. And honestly, I wouldn't change that. Because if these two were identical, we'd lose one of the most fascinating comparisons in the entire run. Instead, we have two different expressions of the same genetics growing side by side. And every week the contrast becomes clearer. 🌿 Let Her Take Her Time I'm not going to push this girl to become something she's not. She's moving. She's developing. She's shining. That's enough. If she wants to take a little longer to build her flowers, we'll watch. If she wants to keep more foliage, we'll observe. If she wants to remain the quieter sister, that's perfectly fine. The plant doesn't need to impress me every single day. Although... she does anyway. 😂💚 🔮 Looking Ahead As we move further into this flowering stage, I'm going to keep watching: 🌸 Flower development ❄️ Resin progression 🌿 Overall foliage health 💎 Flower density 🎨 Any further colour development ⚖️ Structural stability 🔬 Overall maturation And, of course... I'm going to keep watching her sister too. Because the comparison between these two is becoming more interesting every week. Will Pheno B continue developing at her own slower rhythm? Will the difference in flower development become more pronounced? Will her more leafy structure remain part of her final expression? We'll find out. No rush. No forcing. Just observation. 💎 She Deserves the Spotlight Too Pheno A may be trying very hard to steal the spotlight. 😂💎👑 But Pheno B deserves a little time under it too. Because she's beautiful. She's tall. She's leafy. She's green. She's developing flowers. She's building frost. She's moving forward. And she's doing all of it without demanding much from me. That's a pretty good combination. So this week, I'm giving the spotlight to the quieter sister. Not because she's trying to take it. But because sometimes the plants that don't shout the loudest deserve to be noticed too. 💚🌿💎 💎 Final Thoughts Week 10 brings us another beautiful chapter in the Black Diamond story. Pheno B continues to show just how different two phenotypes from the same genetic line can become. She's not moving as quickly as Pheno A. She's more leafy. She's more relaxed. She's less demanding. But she's absolutely not falling behind in the sense that matters most: she's developing. She's healthy. She's flowering. She's becoming frostier. She's getting closer to maturity. And she's doing it in her own way. That's what I love about this adventure. We don't need every plant to be the same. We don't even need every plant to be spectacular in the same way. We just need to give them the opportunity to express themselves. And Black Diamond Pheno B is doing exactly that. She's not screaming: "LOOK AT ME!" She's quietly saying: "I'm still here." And yes, girl... we see you. 💎💚 Let's make her shine. 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful example of why the 8×8 Adventure continues to be so fascinating. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. One general growing philosophy. And twelve completely different personalities. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing the platform where growers can document, compare, learn and share these journeys. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics behind this fascinating Black Diamond line. 💜 Plagron — for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for powering the main lighting environment. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. ✨ LumiFlora — for bringing the additional canopy lighting into the experiment and giving us another fascinating variable to observe. And thank you to everyone following along week after week. Thank you for the comments. Thank you for the questions. Thank you for sharing the adventure. And thank you for taking the time to look at these girls as they develop. Pheno A may be the loud sister. Pheno B may be the quieter one. But both are beautiful. Both are fascinating. And both are showing us something different. This girl doesn't need to demand attention. She just needs a little time. Water. Nutrition. A stable environment. And the freedom to be herself. She's moving. She's shining. She's developing. And she's quietly making her own case for the spotlight. So let's give it to her. Black Diamond Pheno B — Week 10. Still growing. Still flowering. Still shining. Still completely herself. 💎🌿💚 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 💚🌱💎

On day 1 I adjusted the PH of my reservoir down to 6.1. On day 2 I adjusted the PH of the reservoir from 6.3 to 6.1. On day 3 the buds are really starting to bulk up and are putting out side flower clusters already in week 5. I adjusted the PH to 6.1. The goal is to coast from 6.1-6.3 then back to 6.1-6.3 ect. On day 4 things look good I scoped out the trichs and found some to be filing up with cannabinoids :) maybe she will be done in 7-8 weeks like the breeder says. On day 5 my reservoir temp got into the 80's because when the reservoir gets depleted it lowers the water level below the thermostat and I'm getting into the colder months so the cold air temperatures are causing the heater to heat when not needed. My temporary fix is to place the heater diagonally when the water level gets low and then when the water level drops a little more I will fill my reservoir back up fully so to keep the heaters thermostat running correctly. On day 6 I did another defoliation to improve light penetration and airflow in the canopy. I installed a new "Nano aquarium heater" this will be able to heat my reservoir without being affected by the water level in my reservoir. I also changed out my reservoir and adjusted the PH to 6.1. On day 7 the girls are looking and smelling great! I adjusted my reservoirs PH from 6.6 to 6.1. My Nano aquarium heater seems to do the job nothing out of the ordinary that I could tell after a night in the low 30's.

Die Dame steht da wie eine frisch beförderte Managerin: selbstbewusst, breit gemacht und mit eindeutigem Fokus auf Produktentwicklung – sprich Buds. Und was soll man sagen: Die Buds haben den „Ach, wir probieren mal was“-Status endgültig verlassen und sind jetzt offiziell in Serie gegangen. Die Blütenansätze sitzen dicht an dicht entlang der Triebe, kleine kompakte Türmchen mit ordentlich weißen Stempeln, die in alle Richtungen zeigen wie schlecht frisierte Antennen. Man merkt: Hier wird gerade entschieden, wie groß man später mal werden will. Die Buds sind noch nicht fett, aber klar strukturiert, sauber aufgebaut und deutlich mehr als nur Vorstufe. Klassische Woche-3-Situation: „Ich verspreche viel, halte dich aber noch hin.“ Harz? Noch zurückhaltend, aber schon sichtbar – ein leichter Frostschleier. Der Geruch beginnt ebenfalls, sich bemerkbar zu machen: noch nicht penetrant, eher so ein leises Räuspern aus der Grow-Ecke, das ankündigt, dass hier bald ernsthafte Aromen auf den Tisch kommen. Wenn Blütewoche 1 das Casting war und Woche 2 die Probe, dann ist Woche 3 ganz klar der Moment, in dem die Buds sagen: „Okay, jetzt schauen wir mal, ob ihr bereit seid für uns.“

Eccoci qui... Finalmente dopo uno stop per il lavoro torno ad aggiornare il diario con il capitolo finale... Questa piccola ha uno strato di resina davvero fuori di testa sono rimasto incredulo dal vedere come si appiccicassero le mani nel maneggiare le cime!! Ha un sapore davvero di coffeshop olandese con il classico retrogusto di erba cali. Grazie a @MSNL e ad @Xpertnutrients per la collab e a tutti per il supporto🔥🌲❤️ NE VERRANNO DELLE BELLE
