Plants growing slowly, having a problem with mold and I went and got hydrogen peroxide and that seems to control the area of it when sprayed.

ONE WEEK TILL CHOP!! Grow has gone fantastic. Qbsolurely blows me away how DENSE these buds are! For a solocup grow, and being hard to deliver enough food. Man. This is some top shelf shit! Absolutely fantastic.. when I come to you in a week, she will be chopped down!! I attached some trichome photos. Shes at about 10% amber now. I forsee 20% or more within 5 days. That's when I will harvest her!

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Today, I'm thrilled to share the grand finale of our journey with the remarkable Big Cheese Auto from Seeds Mafia. At day 81 from seed, she reached the pinnacle of her splendor, and the harvest was nothing short of spectacular. As I gently snipped each ripe bud, I couldn't help but marvel at the beauty and resilience of our Big Cheese Auto. From the moment she emerged as a seedling, she embodied strength, vigor, and an unwavering determination to flourish. Now, as she hangs upside down to dry for the next two weeks, I'm filled with a profound sense of gratitude for the privilege of witnessing her growth. Our journey with the Big Cheese Auto has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the excitement of germination to the meticulous care during vegetative growth, from the anticipation of flowering to the aromatic crescendo of the harvest, each phase has been a testament to the plant's resilience and the joy of cultivation. The journey began with a tiny seed, a promise of potential waiting to be fulfilled. With the nurturing support of the Autopot system and the guidance of Aptus Holland's nutrients, our Big Cheese Auto thrived, transforming into a botanical marvel with each passing week. From the emergence of her first true leaves to the explosion of trichome-rich buds, she captivated us at every turn. A heartfelt thank you to Seeds Mafia for providing the genetics that sparked this incredible journey. Your seeds have not only produced exceptional plants but have also inspired a community of passionate cultivators. Your dedication to quality and innovation is truly commendable, and I am grateful for the opportunity to cultivate such remarkable genetics. Before the trimming and curing process begins, I took the time to capture the beauty of our Big Cheese Auto in a special photo shoot. Each snapshot is a testament to her magnificence, a visual ode to the journey we've shared together. To the entire community, both near and far, thank you for accompanying me on this horticultural odyssey. Your support, encouragement, and shared passion for cultivation have made this journey all the more rewarding. Let's continue to cultivate greatness together! Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey! Wishing you all abundant harvests and joyful cultivation endeavors ahead!

This week was a very cold week. 13 to 18 degrees during the day and at night like 10 to 13 degrees. Therefore the buds didn't swell properly. Luckly one Critical Kush is still swelling but the other one seems to have slowed down. It's oke, i knew this would happen and the kushes might not finish in time. Might harvest my Shamans at the end of the month. The kushes I will keep until half/end oktober. Since this is only a outside fungrow, I'm not making any effort to heat up the climate by putting heaters arround the plants. Critical Kushes are in their 3th week of flowering. Somehow GD minimalize the videos after putting 10pictures on the diary, Just click on the next picture and click on the right arrow to go to the videos. Have fun looking arround :)

I have to say, overall out of all 5 purple Lemonade seeds Iโ€™m not very happy with the results so far considering they was a little more pricey & the fact that I know how good these plants can turn out! Not sure if I just got some bad genetics or whatโ€™s up but pretty bummed about this run so far๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜… hopefully things will start to look up! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒฑ Day 24 - Decided to pull the smallest purple lemonade that wasnโ€™t doing anything so I can go ahead and get something else going in itโ€™s place! Watered the other ladies today. Day 25 - Ladies are still stretching like crazy!

Hello colleagues! By the end of the week, everything is going well for me, the red phenotype is still slightly ahead of the other two, but it's okay, I plan to harvest at the same time, somewhere in 2-3 weeks. All the plants finally stopped growing - it turned out exactly what I wanted. The most interesting part begins, I continue to observe. Thank you for stopping by, and be healthy! ๐Ÿ™ To be continued... ๐Ÿ˜ถ

๐Ÿ’Ž Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno A Week 11 | When Every Cola Looks Like a Main Cola ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Okay... I think Black Diamond Pheno A has officially reached the point where I don't even know which cola I'm supposed to call the main one anymore. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž Because honestly... LOOK AT HER. Everywhere I look, there's another beautiful flower. Another tall, developed cola. Another structure that looks like it could have been the main top. And another reason to stop in front of this girl and just stare for a moment. She's big. She's beautiful. She's impressive. She's making herself noticed. And she's doing it without needing any special treatment compared with the rest of the room. Same room. Same environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutrition adjustments. Same 12/12 schedule. And yet... Black Diamond Pheno A has decided to interpret all of that in her own spectacular way. And I absolutely love it. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž EVERY COLA LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN COLA โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the easiest way for me to describe what I'm seeing this week. Every cola looks like a main cola. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Normally, when you look at a plant, your eyes naturally find the dominant top. You see the main structure. Then you look around at the side branches. With this girl? I'm having trouble deciding which one deserves the title. Because one catches my eye... Then another. Then another. And suddenly I'm standing there thinking: "Wait a minute..." "Isn't THAT supposed to be the main cola?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž She's built such a beautiful distribution of flowering structures that the entire canopy is becoming a collection of major players. And I love that. She's not relying on one star. She's created a whole team of them. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE STILL MAKES HERSELF NOTICED โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Some plants quietly sit in the room. You walk past them. You appreciate them. Then you continue. Black Diamond? No. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She makes herself noticed. Every single time. She's one of those plants where your eyes naturally go toward her. Part of it is the size. Part of it is the structure. Part of it is the amount of flowering she's carrying. And part of it is simply... she has presence. She's big. She's substantial. She's developed. And now that the flowers are becoming increasingly dominant throughout the structure, her personality is becoming even stronger. She's not asking for attention. She's simply impossible to ignore. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS ARE TAKING OVER THE CONVERSATION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Earlier in the run, we talked a lot about structure. Then we talked about flower formation. Then resin. Then colour. Then weight. Now? The flowers are basically taking over the entire conversation. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ They're everywhere. And they're becoming increasingly substantial. The beautiful thing about this phenotype is how consistently she has built throughout her structure. She didn't create one impressive top and leave everything else behind. She's built a whole network of flowering sites. And now those sites are developing into substantial colas. Which brings us back to the problem... How exactly do I choose the main cola? ๐Ÿ˜‚ I don't think I can. So let's just call them all main colas. Problem solved. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ A CANOPY FULL OF MAIN COLAS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There is something incredibly satisfying about seeing this kind of development. You look across the plant... and instead of seeing one obvious dominant flower surrounded by smaller ones... you see a whole collection of developed flowering structures. That's what catches my eye with Black Diamond right now. The canopy has depth. The flowers have presence. The branches have purpose. And the whole plant looks like it's putting every part of that structure to work. She's not wasting much space. She's filling it. And she's doing it beautifully. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME ROOM. SAME UPGRADES. HER OWN EXPRESSION. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And once again, this is where the 8ร—8 Adventure gets really interesting. We're not changing the rules for Black Diamond. She's sharing the same room as everybody else. The same overall environmental strategy. The same irrigation system. The same nutritional program. The same 12/12 lighting schedule. And now... the same upgraded lighting setup. We've added the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. After seeing the initial PPFD was higher than we wanted, we've brought the fixtures down to around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally less depending on canopy height and position. Black Diamond is receiving those photons just like the rest of the room. But look at what she's doing with them. She's building. She's stacking. She's developing. She's turning those photons into an entire army of main-cola-looking structures. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ MORE PHOTONS. MORE POSSIBILITY. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I really like what the lighting upgrade has brought to the room. Not because we're trying to force the plants to do something. Quite the opposite. It's about having the capability. We're not running the fixtures flat out just because we can. We're controlling the output. We're finding the level that makes sense for the room. And then we let the plants respond. Black Diamond is certainly responding. She's looking strong. She's looking substantial. And she's continuing to develop beautifully. The artificial sun is there. The photons are there. The plant decides what to do with them. And this girl has apparently decided: "Flowers." Lots of them. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ LET THE PLANT DO THE WORK โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is something I keep appreciating more and more as the run progresses. At this stage... we don't need to be constantly interfering. The framework is established. The plant knows what it's doing. The flowers are developing. And our job becomes much more about observation than intervention. Keep the environment stable. Keep the irrigation consistent. Keep the nutrition appropriate. Keep the air moving. Keep the lights where they need to be. And watch. That's it. Black Diamond doesn't need us to tell her how to grow. She's already made that decision. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž She's just doing what she does. And she's doing it beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ BIG, BEAUTIFUL & COMPLETELY HERSELF โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At around 169 cm, Black Diamond Pheno A remains one of the substantial girls in this room. She's big. But again... her height isn't what impresses me most anymore. It's what she's doing with that height. The structure. The branches. The flower distribution. The number of developed colas. The way the entire plant seems to have become a flowering machine. That's what makes her special. She's not tall just for the sake of being tall. She's using that architecture. And she's filling it. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ THE FROST IS STILL THERE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And of course... we can't talk about Black Diamond without talking about the frost. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž The resin-covered surfaces continue to give her that beautiful crystalline appearance. Get closer... and the story changes again. The flowers aren't just flowers. They're texture. They're resin. They're pistils. They're tiny details. They're little landscapes. And when the light catches everything correctly... she really does shine. Which is probably why the name Black Diamond continues to feel so appropriate. She has that combination of darkness, colour, structure and sparkle that makes her incredibly photogenic. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Žโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŽจ COLOUR + GREEN + FROST โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another thing I really appreciate is the combination of colours we're seeing. The green foliage. The developing flower colours. The bright pistils. The white frost. All of it coming together across such a large plant. It creates a really beautiful contrast. And because she has so many flowering structures, there isn't just one place where you see it. It's happening throughout the plant. Everywhere. Another cola. Another angle. Another little section that catches the eye. This girl is basically giving the camera a full-time job. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S PROBLEM โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Black Diamond is becoming one of those plants where taking photographs becomes a problem. Not because she's difficult to photograph. Because there are too many good things to photograph. ๐Ÿ˜‚ You take the wide shot. "Okay, beautiful." Then you move closer. "Oh, that's a nice cola." Then you see another one. "Wait, this one is even better." Then another. And another. And suddenly... you've been standing there for half an hour. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Ž That's the fun of this stage. The plant has so much going on that every perspective tells a slightly different story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž THE BLACK DIAMOND PERSONALITY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ By now, I think we know who this girl is. She's not shy. She's not trying to hide. She's not trying to be the smallest girl in the room. She's substantial. She's demanding. She's productive. She's beautiful. And she's very comfortable taking up space. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž She's one of those phenotypes that makes you stop and think: "Okay..." "I see you." And then you walk away... only to turn around and look again. ๐Ÿ˜‚ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ THE ROOM MOVES TOGETHER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Just like the rest of the room, we've made the flowering nutrition adjustment. ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjustment as required Current solution parameters are around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special just for Black Diamond.

Every cola looks important. There's no obvious: "Okay, THIS is the main one." Because so many of them have developed enough structure to demand attention. They're all standing there like: "Pick me." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And I'm like: "I can't." So... you're all main colas. Everybody wins. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ SAME GENETIC ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is also another beautiful reminder of what this whole project is about. We have so many different cultivars and phenotypes sharing the same ecosystem. Some are smaller. Some are taller. Some are faster. Some are slower. Some are extremely compact. Some stretch. Some become incredibly frosty. Some build huge individual flowers. And Black Diamond? She's building a whole army of colas. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž That's the part I love. We provide the environment. Genetics provide the personality. And then we watch the story unfold. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this point, I'm not looking for something to fix.

And that's a really enjoyable place to be. She's healthy. She's beautiful. She's developing. So... let her work. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ SHE DESERVES THE SPOTLIGHT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Sometimes a plant earns the spotlight because something unusual happens. Sometimes because she has a special colour. Sometimes because she suddenly explodes with flowers. And sometimes... she simply keeps being amazing. That's Black Diamond Pheno A this week. She's not necessarily doing something completely different from last week. She's simply continuing to be excellent. And sometimes... that's more than enough. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ STILL SHINING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 11. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. And honestly... what can I say? She's still beautiful. She's still big. She's still making herself noticed. She's still developing. She's still covered in beautiful flowers. She's still carrying more and more structure. And now... I'm looking at a plant where practically every cola looks like it could be the main cola. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘ I absolutely love it. She's doing exactly what she wants. We're doing exactly what we need to do. The room is stable. The lighting has been upgraded. The nutrition has been adjusted. The photons are flying. And she's doing the rest. That's the beauty of this stage. We don't need to force the story. We just need to document it. And Black Diamond is giving us a hell of a story. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful girl showing us exactly why the 8ร—8 Adventure has been so much fun. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these journeys, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us this incredible phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore what this expanded lighting setup can do. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’š Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate those deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And Black Diamond? This week... you absolutely deserve the spotlight. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ You're big. You're beautiful. You're frosty. You're stacking. You're developing. You're filling your structure with flowers. And somehow... you've reached the point where every cola looks like a main cola. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ So let's not overthink it. Let's let her shine. Let's let her keep building. Let's keep the photons flying. Let's keep watching. And let's see what this beautiful girl decides to show us next. Because one thing is certain... Black Diamond Pheno A is not interested in being a background character. She's making herself noticed. And honestly? I'm very happy to give her the spotlight. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the crowns are temporary, the genetics keep surprising us, and apparently... every cola on Black Diamond wants to be the main cola. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ

THIS IS NOT GELATO: IS MORE ONE HARVEST OF REST OF OTHER PLANT AND OTHER ONE. BECOUSE CONTESTS I CANT CHANGE IT SO, I WILL WRITE SOMETHING LIKE I HAD DO THERE, IN MARK AS BLUECHEESE THE GELATO ONCE I HARVEST SHE. NEXT TIME I WILL DO A DIARY FOR EACH SEED TO AVOID THIS CONFUSIONS. SORRY

Week four of flowering, and the plant is looking amazing! ๐ŸŒฑ Trichomes have really started to cover the buds, giving them a nice frosty appearance. Thereโ€™s a lot of resin building up, and itโ€™s exciting to see so many trichomes at this stage. The plant itself is still in great shape, with healthy, vibrant leaves and no signs of stress. ๐ŸŒฟโœจ Iโ€™ve adjusted to the BioBizz week 5 feeding schedule, and it seems to be working perfectly. The plant is responding well to the nutrients, and everything looks on track for a great harvest. ๐ŸŒธ Iโ€™m getting more excited as the weeks go by! Canโ€™t wait to see how the buds will continue to fill out and develop in the next few weeks. ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒผ
