This girl grew for 72 days. She shared a bed with 2 other plants and only used one of the lights in the darkroom (180 watt electric sky). She produced beautiful dark buds that smell insanely sweet. I have only vaporized 1 decent sized bowl through my mighty vaporizer and I must say it tastes pretty good even without a cure. No green earth taste and it tastes just like it smells. Doesn't produce any dry mouth or eyes so that's nice. I Vaped it right before I left for work and I didn't even get chinky eyed when I walked outside into the light. So it's a great daytime smoke. I definitely feel high, I just don't feel like other people can tell :). She grew in living soil And I am convinced that it's the way to be 💪0

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 6 | A Black Diamond Revealing Its Brilliance Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Some plants ask for your attention. Others simply earn it. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A has quietly become one of the standout performers in the room, displaying remarkable vigor, outstanding health, and an effortless elegance that's becoming more impressive with every passing week. Growing under the exact same conditions as every other plant in this project, she's proving once again that genetics have a personality all of their own. While some phenotypes take their time settling into flower, this lady has embraced the transition with confidence, stretching beautifully while already building an impressive number of developing bud sites. For a plant grown 12/12 From Seed, and especially for an autoflower, her progress has exceeded my expectations. She's growing exactly as I hoped she would. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure Every plant in this project has been flowered from the moment it emerged from the soil. No extended vegetative period. No additional weeks under 18 or 20 hours of light. Just twelve hours of light and twelve hours of darkness from day one. One of the reasons I love this method is because it allows every genotype to express its natural potential without artificially extending its growth. It creates an incredible opportunity to compare phenotypes while making efficient use of the growing space. Black Diamond Pheno A seems completely comfortable with the challenge. Rather than slowing down, she's thriving. 💎 A Phenotype Full of Confidence Standing at approximately 111 cm, she has become one of the tallest plants in the room and is very likely the tallest Black Diamond phenotype of the project. Her architecture is simply beautiful. Long, elegant branches rise confidently toward the light while maintaining excellent spacing between flowering sites. The central stem is thick and strong, supporting a canopy that's naturally balanced despite her impressive height. The foliage is another highlight. Rich, deep green leaves cover the entire plant, showing outstanding health and confirming that the current feeding program is providing exactly what she needs. Every leaf stands proud, acting like a perfectly tuned solar panel powering the next stage of development. She's growing with the kind of quiet confidence that makes you smile every time you open the tent. 🌸 Flowers Arriving Right on Schedule One of the biggest surprises this week has been just how quickly her flowers are developing. Considering she's an autoflower being grown under a continuous 12/12 light schedule, I honestly expected flowering to be slightly more delayed. Instead, she's right where she should be. Fresh white pistils continue emerging across every branch, while the individual flower sites are already beginning to stack into recognizable clusters. The spacing between nodes should provide excellent airflow while still allowing the flowers to merge naturally as bloom progresses. Everything about her suggests she's preparing for a very productive flowering period. 🌿 Gentle Training, Maximum Efficiency Training remains intentionally simple. Earlier Low Stress Training successfully opened her structure, and from this point forward, only occasional leaf tucking is needed to keep the canopy balanced and every developing flower site exposed. Healthy fan leaves remain exactly where I want them whenever possible. Rather than removing valuable solar panels, I prefer repositioning them to improve light penetration while preserving the plant's full photosynthetic capacity. The result is a naturally open canopy with excellent airflow and outstanding light distribution throughout the entire plant. Sometimes less truly is more. 💧 Bloom Nutrition Begins to Shine This week marks another exciting milestone as the flowering nutrition continues evolving. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom • Plagron Power Buds • Plagron Sugar Royal • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Green Sensation • pH adjustment using pH Plus and Lemon Kick This also marks the introduction of Green Sensation, one of my favourite bloom enhancers in the Plagron range. Rather than acting as a simple PK booster, Green Sensation is formulated to support flower development from multiple angles, encouraging efficient nutrient uptake, stronger flower formation, improved resin production, and overall plant vitality throughout bloom. Introducing it as the plants fully commit to flowering helps prepare them for the demanding weeks ahead, and judging by Black Diamond Pheno A's response so far, she's more than ready for the next stage. 🌡️ A Stable Environment Consistency continues to be the foundation of this grow. Current conditions remain: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.78 mS/cm • Root zone temperature: 21°C • Nutrient solution temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm When the environment stays predictable, the plants can dedicate all their energy to growth, flower production, and resin development instead of adapting to unnecessary fluctuations. It's one of the simplest principles in growing—and one of the most rewarding. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs capture exactly why this phenotype has become one of my favourites. The full-plant shots reveal a tall, elegant silhouette rising confidently above much of the canopy, while the close-ups showcase beautifully formed flower sites covered in fresh white pistils and the first visible dusting of trichomes beginning to appear on the sugar leaves. Even at this early stage, the buds are developing with impressive uniformity from the lower branches all the way to the main cola. The rich green foliage provides the perfect contrast against the bright white pistils, creating a plant that's as beautiful to photograph as she is to grow. Sometimes you can tell a plant has something special long before harvest. She feels like one of those plants. 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should be incredibly exciting. I expect the final stretch to slow naturally as more energy shifts toward flower production, allowing each bud site to begin swelling and connecting into longer, fuller colas. Green Sensation will continue supporting that transition while the flowering program gradually takes centre stage. If she continues performing like this, I believe she has every opportunity to become one of the standout plants of the entire project. The structure is exceptional. The health is exceptional. And now the flowers are beginning to catch up. 💚 Thank You Thank you for following another week of this incredible journey. Watching phenotypes reveal their own personalities is one of the greatest pleasures of growing from seed, and Black Diamond Pheno A is quickly becoming a perfect example of why every individual plant deserves its own story. A heartfelt thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can learn, share experiences, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for supplying the genetics behind this beautiful phenotype hunt. 💜 Plagron for the nutrition that continues supporting these ladies through every stage of development. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent light driving this entire grow. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment where each plant can express its full genetic potential. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, sharing knowledge, and enjoying this adventure alongside me. Every grow teaches us something. Some plants whisper those lessons... Black Diamond Pheno A is saying them loud and clear. Until next week... Growers love and Happy Growing! 🌱💚

First day went as expected. I put the paper towel in a small see-thru plastic container and put it on the table. With a bit of water and the seeds in side, the germination has now started! Day 2 no progression, moved the tray into my furnace room (pitch black and warm) Day 3 major progression. I got them out and started to prep the jiffy pellets. Shortly after I transferred the roughly half inch tarp roots with seeds into the jiffy pellets, root down, seed up, slightly covered with dirt. I soaked them in water (like a beginner i overwatered heavily knowing what I know now). I placed them back in the tray and put them at a window for light. (Note) the plan was to do outdoor so no light or tent was ordered at this point. Day 4-7 not much progression seeing as the clouds and rain showed up...

Little bit early on this week but as I’m travelling to Amsterdam today I’d like to get it updated today. Heatwave has finally gone, temps dialled in perfectly now. Hopefully with the temps dropped they will start to go purple for that bag appeal! Added another inside the flower tent and starting a separate diary on it. Don’t miss out on that one that strain is 🔥

Start of week 3 of flowering. Bud site development over the last week was impressive! The Do-si-dos is starting to smell and is already sticky to the touch. Hopefully this girl will stretch a bit more this week.

Dutch Passion Shaman Pünktlich zum Erntedankfest am 5.10. war für mich der kritische Punkt erreicht. Shamanin No. 2, die im kleineren Topf, hat ihren Headbud und drei weitere Blüten genommen bekommen. Ich habe die beiden Pflanzen in der letzten Zeit täglich mit einer Taschenlampe abgesucht und nun war es soweit, leichte Faulstellen an den Stielen in mehreren Bereichen der Pflanze. Es waren nur kleine Teile der Blüten, bzw. schlaffe Zuckerblätter betroffen, ich erkenne das mit der Taschenlampe mittlerweile relativ früh. Der Verlust liegt bei zwei bis drei Gramm trocken. Die Stielfäule hatte sich bei der dunklen Dame an fünf Stellen gebildet und die angrenzende Blüte befallen. Am Sonntag gab es zum Erntedank Space Tee für zwei und der war sehr lecker, mit starker aber angenehmer Wirkung. Ich lasse den frischen Trimm und Blütenmaterial bei 90 Grad mit einem guten Schuss Olivenöl (zwei Esslöffel ca. eine Stunde ziehen. Die Kräuterreste aus dem Teesieb schmecken mit bissl Salz wie Spinat, lecker, und wenn man sich die zusätzlich zum Tee reinzieht, dann wird‘s richtig witzig, mit Lachflashs. 🤤 😅 Jetzt bin ich entspannt, was den Erntezeitpunkt und die zu erwartende Wirkung betrifft. Shamanin No. 1 musste dursten, hat recht weit oben eine weitere Blüte verloren, wobei ich die Stelle an einem dünneren Stiel auch hier vor der eigentlichen Blütenfäule entdeckt habe. Hier saß auch ein kleiner Käfer in der Nähe, wahrscheinlich hatte der es mitgebracht. Ihre Blätter beginnen sich zu verfärben. Es geht weiter, bis nächste Woche! Danke für‘s vorbeischauen. 💚

📆 Semana 3: La planta muestra un crecimiento sostenido y elegante. 🌱 Los brotes laterales comienzan a despuntar, señal de que la estructura se expande con vigor. Las hojas, firmes y anchas, capturan la luz con eficacia, y el tallo central gana robustez. Es buen momento para ajustar el tutorado, redistribuir hojas si es necesario y preparar el entorno para un estirón próximo. El lenguaje del verde habla de salud y armonía. Todo sigue su curso natural, con una energía que se intensifica día a día. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

From the start the sour zkittlez show me nothing really outside the fact that she's fine I didn't really see much at her seedling stage but down in flower is where this lady shines, she is just really a good strain. She smells amazing, the buds get a beautiful color in the last part of flowering, got no issues while growing unless you count I had to support her and to me that's fine because the final product I got from the sour zkittlez and how she was grown I would definitely recommend to friends and family and also do a few more rounds with her.

Nothing special this week. I've defoliated the plants this week even though I've planned to to that next week, but it was just getting too messy. I'll need to defoliate even more later this week so that I can switch them to a 12H cycle on the 7th week, and not cause too much stress doing both things at once. Happy growing 🌿

Por ahora solamente cortĂŠ una de las 3. De todos modos, el tamaĂąo de las flores para ser plantas tan pequeĂąas me asombrĂł. Espero repetir esta variedad en los 7 espacios. Ahora estoy en bĂşsqueda de un nuevo desafĂ­o. Hoy seguramente corte algunas de las Tropicana.

First week of my first grow! The weeks leading to this were filled with hours of research from every source I could find. I still wake up and start reading or looking at diaries. I’m growing in a 4x4 tent in an insulated but not heated garage. I have a small heater in the tent connected to an Inkbird temp controller set to kick on at 70 degrees and turn off at 80. This sucks a lot of humidity from the tent. I have 2 humidifiers running to combat this and it stays around 45% RH on average; getting higher than that has proved quite the challenge. I’ve admired quite a few diaries on here and I hope everyone enjoys my rookie season.
