Week 10...The plants are looking good! Took out the microscope to look at the trichomes...Starting to get milky but still another week or two before the harvest! Started flushing the plant this week!

The smaller Potter or extra Gorilla Glue from AMS is doing okay. Still battling a magnesium deficiency I have not stop. This time was from ph dropping. I was unable to care for them for a few days right. They got too dry, and salts cause ph to fall. I tend to feed heavy, but stay well irrigated. She is still growing decent with the Spider Farmer G3000 light. She should be back on track now again. Plus she is now in a bigger Potter. Still small, but bigger. Hopefully she can keep up some with the other Gorilla Glue in there in size enough to not get beat out in light. Thinking ahead for flowering. Everything looks good to go now.

A friend of mine was at my house today, and as soon as he saw this plant, he spent half an hour saying, "I can't believe it's an autoflowering," and I explained, "Don't worry, buddy, it's Karen Kush Automatic, a monster from Zamnesia." He insisted for a bit, but then he caved when I showed him what can happen with Zamnesia seeds if you work hard and are open to using quality fertilizers and additives like those from Plagron. To me (and my friend who only grows dwarf plants, he basically told me when he grows autoflowering plants) these seem to greatly stimulate the plant's metabolism, resulting in more flowers. It's not a market legend, but it really is like their slogan #growlegendary. The main cola is magnificent, standing out at the top in the characteristic indica shape where the main cola grows much higher than the side colas, which therefore need to be carefully trimmed at the bottom to avoid producing fake flowers. We're a week behind the others, and I thank God and all the saints for having planted this seed. It's very tall, but so is the other one, showing great stability in the strain. It smells really pleasant! Techniques chosen - Here the plant grew straight, only with careful trimming at the bottom, just like mom did, and as usual with autoflowering strains, nature chose the best method. We are 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we chose is the recently launched Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to start growing more smoothly and reliably, without the sudden changes that liquid fertilizers can cause. A week is enough, so don't overdo it. We're in the final flowering stage and things are starting to get serious, so let's add our legendary bloom stimulator and get started with Bloom. - Pure Zym 1 ml/l - Silic Rock 1 ml/l - CalMag Pro 1 ml/l - Sugar Royal 1 ml/l - Power Buds 1 ml/l - Alga Bloom 0 ml/l (Too much dark juice additives to boost buds) - Green Sensation 1 ml/l Ready to flush, started on the day of the photos, but last week she was fed only additives to give the flowers a final boost. Choose your preferred style and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Take a look at the new growshop section with everything you need for cultivation. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop A very good strain, it will grow tall and with wide internodal spacing, making it ideal for LST but also stunning when grown upright. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/it/10783-zamnesia-seeds-karen-kush-auto.html Z - Zamnesia Seeds - There's no need to complain about this strain: Karen Kush Auto will satisfy even the most demanding smokers with its dense flowers, fragrant terpenes, and high THC content. Created by crossing Monster Bud Kush, White Widow, and ruderalis, Karen Kush Auto boasts first-class genetics that leave no room for complaint. Inhale its sweet aroma of spices and diesel and enjoy the physical buzz that envelops you. After a few minutes, the only thing you'll want is a comfortable place to relax. And best of all, you won't find this strain anywhere else, as it was created by the geneticists at Zamnesia Seeds. Karen Kush Auto is slightly indica-dominant, which manifests itself in its bushy structure, resilience, and moderate height. Despite its name, Karen Kush Auto is anything but demanding. It only requires good soil, regular watering, and fertilizer to fuel its vigorous vegetative growth. When it transitions to the flowering stage, it will stretch to a final height of around 70–90cm, depending on the space available. If you like what you've read about growing Karen Kush Auto, wait until you smoke it. This 60% indica strain produces dense flowers loaded with resin and vibrant terpenes that evoke aromas of sweet citrus, black pepper, and diesel. The floral notes create the perfect backdrop for the pungent diesel scent. And after smoking, sit back and let the waves of euphoria and heavy physical intoxication glue you to the couch with a big smile and slitted eyes; it's perfect for evening use or weekend relaxation! You know it, but I recommend it. Here you'll find many beautiful things, essentially "all the best nature has to offer."

Got some better shots without light and a little video my cam is a bit shit got a video of trichs also in there girls seem to be flushing well started flushing the quick one later than the others as wasn't as developed. Took the 2 tester buds of very bottom under the plants on the first day of flush to try estimate how long to flush for........last pic and vid before harvest next uploads will be harvest hopefully

Looks like they've recovered from nutrient burn once I backed off the nutes. I also checked the PH after mixing the 3 parts and the Micro doesn't seem to be bringing the PH down enough, it only goes to 7.3. I use Nectar for the Gods PH down to bring it around 6.5. Some of the leaves look a little light in color and slightly burned at the tips, I think they might be light stressed even though Ive get my lights spaced a safe 24" away. I LST where I can this week. The plants are so short that its difficult to do effectively.

Beautiful flower full of trichomes. Smell and test fantastic. Very fast flowering. She was done on day 49 but I cut her down few days later. I love the strain, the only thing that I will like this strain to have is a better yield. Beast quality buds I ever grew.

Ok

Still no major problems so im very happy. Theyre all continuing to fatten up and i took the first microscope shots this week and they look amazing. much more dense than any of my previous. Gorilla is behind still, guess i got a slow phenotype but its still moving along at its own pace. Starting to see amber on the others so i reckon its right at the start of the possible harvest window. I have taken off a couple of small low down popcorn buds to see how they are. I am just very impatient haha. Hopefully it continues well for the next 2 weeks!

Extrema producción de tricomas de esta variedad! Gran parte de los frutos lo usaré para extraer rosin, su resina se ve ideal para este propósito. Fragancia exquisita a ponche de fruta dulce, con notas ácidas y un fondo de especias. Como mencioné anteriormente dejaré la parte de la reseña de efectos, sabores y sensaciones para cuando los cogollos estén secos y curados, por ahora solo puedo apreciar lo que mi vista y olfato me permiten captar. Totalmente conforme por la calidad de estas flores y agradecido de los amigos de Sweet Seeds por la confianza. Será hasta la cata entonces, buenos humos!

So far Cherry Bellini was a stressful little lady early on during veg, showing signs to anything from a slight e.c change early or ph change or even temps. You name it she would she her displeasure towards you even if you did everything correctly. Later during veg she straighten herself up and became less stressed out towards lst, topping, and everything in between. She's now the biggest one out of the bunch. Light went from 60% to 90% over Week 5 to Week 6, next 2 days she'll be at 100% ready for flowering. 2 set AC infinity bar lights will go in over this week as well as my scrogg net.

💎 8×8 Adventure – Week 14 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A 👑 Part 1: The Queen Has Spoken… Harvest Me, DogDoctor! 💎✂️🌸📸 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well, my friends… Our not-so-humble plant. Our not-so-humble cultivar. Our beautiful Black Diamond. 💎👑✨ After weeks of watching her grow, build, stack, frost up, and make herself noticed in the room, she finally gave me the message I'd been expecting. "DogDoctor… PLEASE HARVEST ME." 😂😂😂💎 And you know what? That's exactly what we did. But not before giving this girl one last opportunity to shine in front of the camera. Because if there's one thing Black Diamond Pheno A has earned throughout this adventure, it's a proper goodbye to the tent. And when I say goodbye, I don't mean we're finished documenting her. Not even close! This is simply the end of her flowering chapter inside the tent. There's still trimming, drying, weighing, curing, and eventually a proper smoke review to come. So consider this Part 1 of her harvest story: the last day in the tent, the photography, the breakdown, and the beginning of her drying journey. 💎🌿📸 And before we get started, a small explanation for everyone following the diary. ──────────────────────── 📢 WHY ARE WE STILL POSTING THIS UNDER A FLOWERING WEEK? First things first! Yes, this update is still being published as a flowering-week report, even though Black Diamond has now been harvested. And there's a very simple reason for that. GrowDiaries has a limit of 30 photos per update, and between the harvest, studio photography, photo stacking, trimming, drying, and eventual smoke report, we have far more material to share than we can comfortably fit into one harvest entry. 😂📸💎 I don't want to throw everything into one report, squeeze the story until it barely makes sense, or leave out photographs and details that deserve to be seen. So we're splitting the journey into separate chapters. This first part covers her final day in the tent, the last photographs of the living plant, the photo-stacking session, the breakdown, and the start of drying. The next chapters will continue with the rest of her harvest journey, including the trimming and drying updates, the final results, and the smoke review when we get there. That way, we can give this girl the attention she deserves without trying to squeeze an entire harvest into a single update. And honestly? After following her for so many weeks, I think she deserves more than one final goodbye. 💚🌿 So, for anyone wondering why a harvested plant is appearing in a flowering-week update… That's the reason! We're keeping the diary moving while giving her harvest story the space it needs. ──────────────────────── 💎 THE LAST DAY IN THE TENT Let's take a moment to appreciate how we got here. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A was part of our 8×8 Adventure, where twelve plants shared the same general environment, lighting schedule, and overall growing conditions. One room. One shared stage. Twelve different stories. And this girl? She decided to make hers unforgettable. 😂👑💎 From the early stages, she developed into a magnificent plant with a beautiful structure and an impressive collection of flowering sites. As the weeks progressed, we watched her build. We watched the flowers develop. We watched the frost become more apparent. We watched those colas become increasingly impressive. And, of course, we watched that main cola claim its place in the spotlight while the rest of the plant seemed determined to remind us that it wasn't the only one worth photographing. 😂🌸 Remember the song? "Shining bright like a diamond…" Well, I think we can officially retire that joke now. Actually, no. Let's not get carried away. 😂😂😂💎 She's still Black Diamond, and I'm probably going to keep humming that song every time I look at her photographs. But the important thing is that this beautiful phenotype has now reached the end of her time in the tent. The flowering chapter is complete. And today, we get to appreciate the result of that journey before moving into the next stage. ──────────────────────── 🌸 ONE LAST LOOK BEFORE SAYING GOODBYE Before taking her out of the tent, I wanted to capture her beauty one last time. The colours. The flowers. The overall structure. The individual colas. The details that make this particular phenotype so special. And I'm really happy we did. Because once the plant is taken down and broken apart, we can still photograph individual flowers, but we can never recreate that exact moment when the whole living plant is standing there in her environment. That's why I wanted those final photographs. I wanted to remember her as she was. Standing in the tent. Surrounded by the equipment and lights that had been part of her journey. Looking absolutely beautiful. 💎🌿📸 And then came the next part. Taking her out of the tent and into the studio. Because apparently, even after growing a beautiful plant for weeks, I'm still not finished taking photographs of her. 😂😂😂 ──────────────────────── 📸 THE PHOTO-STACKING SESSION — PATIENCE, LIGHTS AND A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS Now, this is where things get particularly interesting for me. Because some of you might look at a final macro photograph and think: "Beautiful picture!" And that's exactly the reaction I hope to get. But there's a whole process behind that final image. Photo stacking is not simply pointing the camera at a flower, pressing the shutter once, and calling it a day. It's a process that takes time, patience, attention, and a little bit of stubbornness. 😂📸🔬 For this session, I took Black Diamond into the studio and worked with my lighting setup to get the look I wanted. I'm using three or four LED lights from SmallRig, positioning and adjusting the light to bring out the details while keeping the final image as close as possible to the visual result I'm looking for. Light makes an enormous difference in macro photography. The angle. The intensity. The shadows. The highlights. The way the surface details catch the light. All of it changes how the final photograph looks. And because I want to show the flowers in as much detail as possible, I spend time getting the lighting right before and during the process. It's not just about making the image bright. It's about making the details visible. 💡📸💎 Then comes the stacking itself. Instead of relying on a single photograph to show the entire subject in focus, I take a sequence of images with different focus positions. Those images are then merged into one final photograph, combining the sharp areas from across the sequence. The result can show far more of the subject in focus than a single frame would normally capture at this magnification. But the process takes time. A lot of time. And sometimes… A LOT of photographs. 😂😂😂 ──────────────────────── 🔬 321 PHOTOS… 347… 365… 399… 596… 599! Let's talk numbers, because the photographs we're sharing tell their own story. The smallest stack in this selection contains 321 photographs merged into one image. And the largest? 599 photographs merged into one final stack. Five hundred and ninety-nine. 😂😂😂💎 At that point, I think we can safely call it a 600-photo stack. One photograph short, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. 😂📸 The other stacks include sequences of 347, 365, 399, and 596 photographs, among others. Every stack represents a series of individual frames that have to be captured and processed to create the final result. And when you see the finished image, it's easy to forget how much work went into it. That's why I also shared a video of me actually doing the photo stacking. I wanted to give everyone a better idea of what happens behind the scenes. You can see the process. You can see how the work progresses. And you can get a sense of how much patience goes into creating these images. It's not necessarily as slow as it might sound, and we managed to photograph a lot of material during the session. But it certainly isn't instant. 😂🔬📸 And honestly? I love it. I love the process. I love the challenge. I love watching all those individual frames come together. And I love seeing the final result when the details become visible in a way that a single photograph simply couldn't reproduce. ──────────────────────── 💎 WHY I LOVE PHOTO STACKING For me, photo stacking is another way of appreciating the plant. We spend weeks watching the whole plant develop. We look at the canopy. We follow the branches. We compare the colas. We watch the flowers change. But when you move into macro photography, you enter another world entirely. Suddenly, the details become the subject. You can explore the textures, the shapes, the colours, and the intricate surface of an individual flower. You can take something you've been looking at for weeks and appreciate it from a completely different perspective. And that's what makes this process so enjoyable for me. It's not just about taking a pretty photograph. It's about looking closer. It's about curiosity. It's about patience. And it's about the satisfaction of creating an image that represents the subject the way I want to show it. 💚📸🔬 Some people enjoy growing. Some people enjoy photography. Some people enjoy both. And apparently, I enjoy growing a plant for weeks and then spending even more time photographing the hell out of it. 😂😂😂💎 But that's part of the fun. And if the final photographs make somebody stop scrolling for a moment and appreciate the details, then all that time was worth it. ──────────────────────── 🎥 A LITTLE BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO Alongside the photographs, I also shared a video of me working through the photo-stacking process. I wanted to show the reality behind the finished images. Because a finished macro photograph can look simple when you see it on a screen. But behind that final result are the individual frames, the focus changes, the lighting decisions, and the time spent bringing everything together. The video gives you a glimpse of that process. It's a little reminder that the photograph isn't always just one photograph. Sometimes it's hundreds of them. 😂📸 And when you're looking at a 599-image stack, you can appreciate why patience is such a big part of the process. I hope you enjoy seeing a little of the work that happens outside the tent, because documenting this adventure isn't just about the plants. It's also about the photography, the equipment, the experiments, and the things I enjoy learning along the way. ──────────────────────── ✂️ FROM THE TENT TO THE BREAKDOWN Once the photography was done, it was time to move on. Black Diamond was taken out of the tent, and we began breaking the plant down for drying. This is where the story changes. We move away from the living plant and into the post-harvest stage. I removed the fan leaves and the larger leaves that I didn't want to keep with the flowers during drying. Then I broke the plant down into smaller sections rather than leaving the whole plant intact. It's not what I'd call a full wet trim. It's closer to a light, partial trim before drying. The aim here was to remove the larger unwanted foliage and prepare the flowers for the next stage, while leaving the detailed trimming work for later. And yes… those beautiful big buds we spent weeks admiring? They were broken down into smaller sections for the drying process. 😂✂️🌸 I know. I know. We spent all those weeks talking about her beautiful colas, her impressive flowers, and how she was shining like a diamond. And then I came along with the scissors. 😂😂😂 But that's part of the process. The plant has reached the end of her time in the tent, and now we're preparing her for the next stage of the journey. The flowering chapter is over. The drying chapter begins. ──────────────────────── 🧤 THE GLOVE TELLS A STORY — LOOK AT THAT RESIN! Now, this is one of those little details I really wanted to include. While bucking the plant down and handling the flowers, resin started accumulating on my glove. And when I looked at it… well… I had to take a photograph. 😂💎🧤 Look at that! This girl has been building resin throughout her flowering journey, and the glove gives us a very visual reminder of just how sticky things became during the breakdown. The plant was still fresh at this point, so the resin on the glove was collected from handling the living, freshly harvested material. That's why I jokingly call it a little bit of charas in the context of the harvest. Strictly speaking, resin collected on a glove isn't automatically the same thing as finished charas, but you get the idea. 😂🌿💎 It's a lovely little behind-the-scenes detail, and I think the photograph makes the point beautifully. We can talk about frost. We can talk about resin. We can take hundreds of macro photographs. But sometimes all it takes is one glove covered in sticky resin to make you stop and say: "Okay, Black Diamond… I see you!" 😂😂😂💎 She certainly left her mark. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ THE DRYING CHAPTER BEGINS After the breakdown and initial preparation, we placed the flowers on the drying rack and moved her into a separate drying tent. The rest of the 8×8 Adventure is continuing in the original room, with the other plants still growing and following their own timelines. Black Diamond has moved into a different space for this next stage. And, of course, that space is kept completely dark for drying. Her time under the flowering lights is over. Now it's time for a different environment and a different kind of patience. 🌑🌸 For the initial drying period, our intended environmental starting point is approximately: 🌡️ Temperature: 20–21°C 💧 Relative humidity: around 45% initially, with the intention of moving toward approximately 60% as the drying environment is adjusted. These are the intended starting conditions for this stage, rather than a claim that the environment has already remained at those values continuously. The initial lower humidity is part of the plan to help manage the moisture still present in the freshly harvested flowers. We'll be watching how the drying environment behaves and adjusting our approach as the process progresses. The longer-term aim is to maintain a stable, suitable drying environment rather than chase numbers without considering the actual conditions. And this is important: The drying process is not finished just because the plant has been harvested and placed on a rack. This is the beginning of another stage that deserves its own attention. The flowers still contain substantial moisture, and the way they dry will influence the quality of the final result. So now we wait, observe, and document. 🌬️🌸💚 ──────────────────────── ⏳ HOW LONG WILL SHE DRY? Normally, the drying period in my experience can fall somewhere around one to two weeks, but that is a general expectation, not a deadline. It can vary depending on the temperature, relative humidity, airflow, the size and density of the material, and how the conditions behave over time. Two harvests don't necessarily dry at the same speed. Even within the same harvest, different sections can behave differently. So we're not going to decide in advance that Black Diamond must be ready on a particular day. We'll monitor the process and see how she progresses. The next report will give us an opportunity to discuss how long she's been drying, how stable the conditions have been, and what we're observing as the process continues. For now, she's resting. The lights are off. The flowers are on the rack. And the camera work continues. 😂📸🌸 We'll let time tell us when the next chapter is ready. ──────────────────────── 💡 FROM FLOWERING LIGHTS TO THE DARKROOM One of the interesting things about this transition is how quickly the environment around the plant changes. For weeks, we've been talking about the flowering room. The Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. The additional lighting capability. The approximate 1,500 PPFD reference across the upper canopy. The shared 12/12 schedule. The Lumiflora lighting deeper in the canopy. The TrolMaster equipment helping us monitor and manage the environment. And now? Black Diamond has left all of that behind. 😂💎 She's no longer part of the active flowering canopy. She's in a separate drying space, in darkness, beginning a completely different stage. The rest of the room is still going. The other plants haven't suddenly decided to follow her. They're continuing their own journeys, and we'll keep documenting them individually. That's another important part of the 8×8 Adventure. Not every plant reaches the same point at the same time. Each one has her own timeline. Black Diamond has told us she's ready to leave the tent. And now we're giving her the next chapter. ──────────────────────── 🌿 A QUICK LOOK BACK — FROM SEED TO HARVEST Before we close this first part, I want to look back at the journey. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A was grown from seed under a 12/12 light schedule from the beginning. That was part of the wider 8×8 Adventure, where we followed different plants and phenotypes sharing the same general environment. From the early stages, she behaved beautifully. She developed into a magnificent plant. She built an impressive structure. She produced a beautiful collection of flowers. She gave us those colas that kept making me stop and take another look. And as the weeks progressed, she became one of the plants in the room that was impossible to ignore. 💎👑🌸 Her main cola was beautiful, but the rest of the plant wasn't interested in taking a supporting role. The other flowering sites kept developing, and the whole plant became a beautiful example of her own individual expression. That's what made her so much fun to follow. We weren't trying to make her behave like the other plants. We were observing what she did under the same general conditions. And she gave us her own answer. A beautiful Black Diamond Auto phenotype, grown from seed under 12/12, now ready to leave the tent and begin the post-harvest journey. From seed to a magnificent plant. From flowering to harvest. And now, from harvest into drying. One chapter closes. Another begins. 💚🌱💎 ──────────────────────── 🔬 THE 8×8 ADVENTURE — SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES Black Diamond's harvest also reminds us of the original idea behind this entire project. Twelve plants sharing one room. The same general environmental framework. The same lighting schedule. The same overall approach to nutrition and care. And then we observe what each plant does. Some grow taller. Some remain more compact. Some develop particular flower structures. Some move faster. Some take longer. And eventually, they reach their own milestones. Black Diamond has now reached hers. But the 8×8 Adventure continues. The other plants are still in the room, still developing, and still writing their own stories. We'll continue giving each phenotype her own report, because every plant deserves to be documented as an individual rather than simply becoming one photograph in a group. And Black Diamond? She's earned her own harvest series. 😂💎👑 ──────────────────────── 💎 PART 1 COMPLETE — BUT HER STORY IS FAR FROM OVER So, my friends, this is the end of the first part of Black Diamond Auto Pheno A's harvest journey. We said goodbye to her in the tent. We took her into the studio. We photographed her. We created photo stacks containing hundreds of individual frames. We shared a glimpse of the process in a behind-the-scenes video. We broke her down. We removed the larger unwanted leaves. We prepared the flowers for drying. And we discovered that she was more than happy to leave a little resin behind on the glove. 😂🧤💎 She's now resting in the drying tent, in darkness, while the rest of the 8×8 Adventure continues in the flowering room. But don't worry. This isn't the final report. We still have more to share. The drying process deserves its own update. The trimming deserves its own attention. The final results deserve their moment. And, when the time comes, we'll sit down for the smoke review and talk about the experience of the finished product. We're not going to rush those chapters just to close the diary. We'll document them as they happen. For now, we're simply marking the end of her time in the tent and the beginning of everything that follows. 💎🌸🌬️ ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS — THE QUEEN HAS LEFT THE TENT Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. Our not-so-humble girl. Our beautiful diamond. Our queen of the 8×8. 👑💎🌿 After weeks of growing, stacking, developing, and shining, she finally gave me the message: "Please harvest me." And that's what we did. Not before giving her one last photographic session. Not before taking her into the studio. Not before creating stacks containing 321, 347, 365, 399, 596, and 599 photographs. 😂📸💎 Not before breaking her down and seeing the resin collecting on the glove. And not before making sure that her next chapter was ready to begin. She's now in the drying tent, in darkness, resting on the rack. The next stage will take the time it takes. We'll observe. We'll document. We'll see how the conditions behave. And we'll share the results in the next chapters. I'm incredibly happy with how this journey has unfolded. Not just because of the beautiful plant we've harvested, but because of everything we've been able to document along the way. The growth. The differences between phenotypes. The photography. The experiments. The unexpected lessons. And now, the harvest. That's what this adventure is about. It's about growing, learning, observing, and sharing the journey honestly. And Black Diamond has given us a beautiful story from beginning to end of flowering. So, my precious diamond… Thank you for the show. Thank you for the photographs. Thank you for the resin-covered glove. 😂💎🧤 And thank you for making me hum that damn song every time I walked into the room. "Shining bright like a diamond…" Of course you were. 💎✨👑 Your time in the tent is over. But your story isn't finished. Rest well, beautiful girl. We'll see you in the next chapter. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU — TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED MAKE THIS JOURNEY POSSIBLE A massive thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document this adventure, share our observations, and keep the individual stories of these plants alive from seed to harvest. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond Auto genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow this beautiful phenotype throughout her journey. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition used throughout the run. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup in the 8×8. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And a special shoutout to SmallRig for the LED lighting equipment helping me create the studio setup I use for my photography. Getting the light where I want it is a big part of the process, and those lights are part of how I work toward the images I want to produce. 💡📸💚 Finally, thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every photograph you stop to look at. Every bit of support. It genuinely means a lot. And thank you to Black Diamond herself for giving us such a beautiful plant to document. 💎🌿👑 24 cultivars. One room. Different genetics. Different stories. And one beautiful Black Diamond who has now moved from the flowering tent into the drying tent. The next chapter is already underway. We'll keep documenting. We'll keep learning. We'll keep sharing the process. And we'll give her the time she needs. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 Happy growing, take care everyone… And remember: This is Part 1 of the harvest story. The Queen has left the tent, but the final chapters are still to come. 💎👑🌸🌬️ See you in the next update! 📸💚

In just about 8 weeks it goes from being a seed to a bountiful harvest of sweet and creamy cannabis from the irresistible dessert we know and love. Appearance and Grow Tips While Cream Brulee Auto has the same quality and potency as its feminized cannabis predecessor, what stands out is its speed to finish and enormous dense colas. These magical cannabis seeds take around 8 weeks from seed to harvest and can produce up to 500 grams (per plant) of pure happiness. Indica lovers won’t be able to look away, their growth speed will put anyone in a trance! Make sure to provide this variety with at least 18 hours of light throughout the entire grow and decent pot size, around 3 gallons minimum, so it can grow to its full potential. Due to its ultra-fast autoflowering genetics, we recommend planting the previously germinated seed directly into the final pot to avoid stressing or damaging the roots. LST is always a good idea to increase performance and control any height problems you want to avoid. Administer nutrients at 1⁄4 of the recommended dose and then gradually increased as the plant grows and reacts. With optimal conditions and treatment, this strain will bless you with beautiful buds of up to 19% THC. Flavor and aroma Thanks to its special lineage, Cream Brulee Auto is absolutely packed with the same delicious flavors and aromas. Its autoflowering magic makes it even easier and quicker to grab your delicious dessert cannabis buds. Notes of cream, caramel, together with vanilla, buttered nuts, and coffee will leave stunned even the most experimental cannabis connoisseur. Effects After the first delicious puff, you will be in a dream state, deeply relaxed and pleasantly euphoric. Its calming effect makes it better to consume it at night to help you sleep. Similarly, during the day if you are looking for a half-conscious state Cream Brulee Auto will keep you upbeat and happy. 😍 ________________________________________________________________________________ SETUP: ° Mars Hydro TS1000 Version 2022 https://www.mars-hydro.com/all-products/ts-1000-led-grow-light Thanks @coco!! ❤️ ° Zelsius 60x60 cm (2x2ft) ° 2x 5W Fans ° PrimaKlima EC 125 400/240cm³/h exhaust fan & Carbon Active Granulate 240cm³/h ° Biobizz Grow + Bloom ° tap water EC 0,26uS upgraded to EC 0,5 with PlantMagic MagneCal - pH 8, nutrient solution downgraded to pH 6,5 with Advanced Hydroponics Minus Bloom ° BioEnhancer every 2 weeks instead of feeding ° from week 4 in the same container Aptus Enzym+ once a week ° Organic tomato soil + perlite 🍮

💚 Amnesia Haze Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 5 | The Elegant Stretch Before the Storm Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Every week these ladies remind me why phenotype hunting is such an exciting journey. Today’s spotlight belongs to Amnesia Haze Auto – Pheno A, a plant that’s beginning to reveal the classic characteristics many growers hope to see from an Amnesia Haze. Tall… Graceful… Open… And now officially beginning her flowering journey. While many of her neighbours are building dense canopies, this lady has chosen elegance, creating a beautifully structured framework that should allow every future flower to enjoy plenty of light and airflow. ⸻ 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using my favourite experiment: 12/12 From Seed. From the day these seeds germinated, they have lived under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off lighting schedule. The goal isn’t simply producing smaller plants. It’s about discovering how different genetics and different phenotypes naturally express themselves under identical conditions. Every plant shares: • The same grow room • The same environmental conditions • The same lighting • The same nutrition • The same training philosophy • The same care Only the genetics decide how each individual develops. Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A is already showing a wonderfully classic sativa-style expression. ⸻ 🌿 Stretching With Purpose At approximately 75 cm, she’s among the taller ladies in the room and continues displaying excellent vertical growth. Rather than producing a dense bush, she’s built long internodal spacing with beautifully stacked branches reaching confidently toward the light. Those longer distances between nodes might look sparse now, but for flowering they’re actually a huge advantage. Each future bud site has room to breathe. Each branch receives excellent light penetration. Each cola has space to develop without excessive crowding. Sometimes less density early on creates better flowers later. ⸻ 🌸 Flowering Has Officially Begun This week marks an exciting transition. Fresh white pistils are now appearing across every growing tip, confirming that flowering has officially begun. Although she’s entering bloom, she’s still carrying plenty of vegetative momentum. This is completely normal. During this transition period the plant continues stretching while simultaneously beginning flower production. Because of that, her feeding program still reflects both stages of growth. She’s no longer purely vegetative. But she’s not yet fully flowering either. She’s standing right in the middle of one of the most important phases of her life cycle. ⸻ 🍃 Gentle Leaf Tucking Instead of Heavy Defoliation Training this week remained very gentle. Rather than removing healthy leaves, large fan leaves were carefully tucked beneath developing branches to expose additional flowering sites. Leaf tucking is one of my favourite techniques during this stage because it increases light penetration while allowing the plant to keep all of her valuable solar panels. Healthy leaves continue producing energy. Hidden branches receive more light. The canopy stays open. It’s a simple technique, but one that often delivers excellent results. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Through the Transition Since the room currently contains plants at slightly different stages of development, the feeding program reflects that transition. Instead of switching immediately to a full flowering recipe, the plants are currently receiving a carefully balanced combination of vegetative and flowering nutrients. Current nutrition includes: • Plagron Terra Grow • Plagron Terra Bloom • Power Buds • Sugar Royal • Power Roots • Pure Zym • pH adjustment using pH Plus and Lemon Kick This balanced approach allows the plants to continue supporting vigorous green growth while simultaneously providing the phosphorus, potassium, enzymes and biological support needed as flowers begin to develop. It’s all about easing them smoothly into bloom rather than making an abrupt change. ⸻ 🌡️ A Stable Environment One advantage of documenting every phenotype separately is that each plant shares the exact same controlled environment. Current room conditions include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Solution temperature: 21.6°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Keeping these parameters consistent allows each phenotype to express its true genetic potential without environmental fluctuations becoming part of the equation. ⸻ 📸 This Week’s Gallery The photographs this week beautifully capture the beginning of her transformation. The full-plant portraits highlight her elegant sativa structure, with long branches and an impressive central leader dominating the canopy. The close-up images reveal clusters of fresh white pistils emerging from nearly every node, confirming that flowering has truly begun. One of my favourite details is the clean spacing between branches. Rather than competing for light, every future cola has its own place to develop. The healthy green foliage, strong stems and open architecture suggest this lady is preparing for an exciting flowering stretch over the coming weeks. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the next two weeks I expect this Amnesia Haze to continue stretching before gradually shifting her energy toward building flowers. If she follows the classic Amnesia Haze profile, those long internodes should soon begin filling with elegant, elongated buds covered in bright white pistils. The framework is already there. Now it’s time for the flowers to write the next chapter. I can’t wait to watch her evolve. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Watching every phenotype develop its own personality while sharing the exact same environment continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of this project. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing an incredible platform where growers from around the world can learn, inspire one another, and document every stage of their journeys. Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting these plants from seed to harvest. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the consistent light powering every day of this grow. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment where each phenotype can express its full genetic potential. And finally, Growers Love and thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, sharing knowledge and joining me on this adventure. Every plant has its own story, and Amnesia Haze Auto Pheno A is only just beginning to tell hers. The stretch is underway, the first flowers are forming, and the best is still to come. 💚🌿

At day 18 i topped her. I’m really curious how she’s handle the stress. In the next few days I will bend her down a little and installing a net to hold the plant small. We are ending week 3 shortly! She handled the topping very good. No signs of slowing down her grow or any deficiency. I did some LST after topping but one of the main branches snapped half through. She damaged side still performs exactly like the intact one. I try to be patient and careful with the bending of this branch. I taped the location and try to not bend it hardly anymore.

Wk4, Day22, 4/27/22 Wk4, Day23, 4/28/22, continued defoliation and tied down tops, each plant has at least 6 tops Wk4, Day27, 5/2/22, no issues requiring adjustments Wk4, Day28, 5/3/22, heavy tie downs and defoliation to finish Wk4

Plant is growing good. Still really pretty to me. Hoping to flip around day 60

They took a while but they all popped out!
