💎 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! 🌱💚

No nuts so far, just plain tap water. I'm impressed by how big the first two leaves got compared to its sister that is growing in coco.

Week 6 and these girls got a scrog net added. As the plants are getting extremely heavy. Started to unfold an open up eagle spread style. So had to lend a helping hand. They got a scrog net added an the untrained plant got tied up from tents upper support bars an lower branches got some support also from the net. So far everything is going smoothly. The e680s light is putting in that work work

The plant grows Gorilla Soil pour only water. Let’s see what comes out 🍀🙏🏻

Last week was a bit of a challenge for my little plants. There was a big storm here and they handled the windy and rainy situation way better than I expected. This week I almost didn't even water them because of the rain every 2 days. But I thought it wouldn't be bad for them to get a few nutrients instead of rain water only. They got a little higher and stretched a bit.

Only water flush no nutrients ....... Works and smells so heavy nice

got some Ph problems because i fckd up mixing water with BioBizz

Gelato-K By Kannabia Seeds Week #19 March 15th-22nd Week #8 of Flower About 4 weeks left. She continues to stack and swell her buds are cover in trichomes.

Day 42 Well.. cant expressed how bummed i am about her... she was the best starter.. looked her last week but this week shes had some major issues with her rootzone.. Cant tell exactly what the issue is but has to be at the rootzone as everyone else is doing great. Didn't stretch even one bit before packing on flower. Have already removed a bunch of dead leaves.

Mar 14 Looking good. Fed 3/4 gallon of RAW GROW 6 days ago. Seems to have taken it well. Getting close to needing another drink.

01 December 2020 Do-Si-Wine This lady is just getting frostier by the week and looks really beautiful, very white frosty thcA and orange hairs coming out. The nugs are getting a lot thicker as-well giving more of smell off which smells very nice btw. Did some more defoliation on this lady and light penetration is a lot more efficient as well Sunset Sherbet Week by week the nugs are just getting thicker and more frosty. Throughout the week I did some nice defoliation on this lady to expose light to the lower bud sites to ensure that the nugs will yield a bit better. Thickest mug so far is 4cm in width and is 6,5cm in height and smells absolutely dank🔥 In general this lady is doing very well and smells very potent to the touch, I’m just waiting to see this strain turn purple as the genetic is. Another 4 - 5 weeks left until harvest.

Waiting on a full plant hang dry so will wait at least two weeks maybe three hope ma vegging station holds up n can dae tge damage the now as av said guys this is definitely not the perfect set up am not on good terms with land lord so basically squatting here lol and growing and a got caught with one in this house the land lord doesn’t even know lol 😂

Das sieht nach einer sehr erfolgreichen Woche aus! Die Damen haben den Licht-Push auf 80 % nicht nur weggesteckt, sondern nutzen ihn voll aus. Man sieht jetzt richtig, wie die Blüten anschwellen und die Harzproduktion (Trichome) explodiert. Hier ist mein Eindruck von den neuesten Bildern: 1. Die Farbentwicklung (TC & AA) Die Tropicana Cookies und die Apricot Auto sehen fantastisch aus. Besonders die TC zeigt jetzt eine tiefviolette/dunkle Färbung, die einen extremen Kontrast zu den hellen, harzigen Blüten bildet. Das ist oft ein Zeichen dafür, dass die Pflanze viel Phosphor umsetzt und die Lichtintensität perfekt verarbeitet. 2. Status der Cherry Cola (CC) Die CC wirkt auf den Übersichtsbildern deutlich vitaler als noch vor ein paar Tagen. Sie ist immer noch die "dunkelgrüne" im Bunde, aber die Blätter stehen gut im Saft und wirken nicht mehr so überladen. Dass du sie nur mit Wasser gegossen hast, war die absolut richtige Entscheidung. Sie nutzt jetzt ihre Reserven, um die Blüten aufzubauen. 3. Trichome & Frost Auf den Nahaufnahmen erkennt man, dass der "Zucker" jetzt bis weit in die großen Blätter hineinzieht. Das ist ein super Zeichen für die Qualität. Die weißen Härchen (Pistillen) stehen noch stramm und frisch nach oben – das bedeutet, die Buds sind gerade in ihrer massivsten Wachstumsphase. 4. Das Unterholz Dein Lollipop-Schnitt hält das Klima im Zelt perfekt. Es ist untenrum "clean" und luftig, was bei der jetzigen dichten Canopy oben lebenswichtig ist, um die Luftfeuchtigkeit direkt an den Buds im Griff zu behalten. Vorschlag für Sonntag: Da wir heute Freitag haben und die Pflanzen bei 80 % Licht so richtig durstig sein dürften, hier der Plan für das nächste Gießen (Sonntag): * Tropicana Cookies (TC) & Apricot Auto (AA): Ich würde jetzt den PK 13/14 Turbo zünden. Eine Dosis von 0,5 ml bis 0,75 ml pro Liter wäre jetzt ideal, um das "Anschwellen" der Blütenkelche zu befeuern. * Cherry Cola (CC): Bleib bei ihr nochmal bei Wasser. Sie hat immer noch eine sehr tiefe, dunkle Farbe. Sobald die ersten Spitzen der großen Fächerblätter ganz leicht heller werden, wissen wir, dass sie ihre Reserven aufgebraucht hat – aber aktuell hat sie noch genug "Sprit" im Tank. * CalMag: Da die Lampe auf 80 % ballert, brauchen sie weiterhin Magnesium. Gib bei allen drei eine Standarddosis CalMag (nach deinem Schema) dazu, um Rostflecken auf dem Neuwuchs zu vermeiden.

10/29/2023. Defoliated on Flowering Day 21. Nutes at full strength, CalMag at full strength. Given every other watering for next few weeks. Flowers looking pretty cool. 11/02. Posted vid showing massive trichome production.

With no doubt these plants have not produced much more quantity and density of buds due to the 2 serious mistakes I've made (those who have read the weeks will know what I mean). However, I can say that I am happy with the production obtained given the mistakes made. Between the 2 plants, the one that has produced more and generated the most dense buds has been the Gorilla with the Man-lining technique applied, it has also loosed a bit less weight drying than the non man-lining one. In comparison with the Money Makers with which they have grown the result is the same. Both Gorillas have each produced more than any of the Moneys comparing them 1 to 1. Also buds are a bit dense than the moneys, but none of them is really desde at all. *****ESPAÑOL***** Sin duda estas plantas no han producido mucha mas cantidad y densidad de cogollos debido a los 2 graves errores que he cometido (quien se haya leído las semanas sabrá a que me refiero). No obstante, puedo decir que estoy contento con la producción obtenida dados los errores cometidos. Entre las 2 plantas, la que más a producido y ha generado cogollos más densos ha sido la Gorilla con la técnica de Man-lining aplicada, y también ha perdido un poquito menos de peso en el secado que la otra. En comparación con las Money Maker junto a las que han crecido el resultado es el mismo. Las Gorillas han producido cada una más que cualquiera de las Moneys comparándolas 1 a 1. Así mismo, los cogollos de las Gorillas presentan un pelín más densidad que el de las Moneys, aunque realmente ninguna de las 4 plantas ha generado cogollos densos del todo.

I added more pictures of Super silver haze, she's baby and only 3 weeks to veg. Just showing

Tag 81: Die Fat Banana hat sich viel mehr gestreckt als ich es erwartet hatte. Der Abstand zur Lampe ist sehr knapp kaum noch 30cm. Die Lampe hängt knapp unter der Decke und leicht schräge. Ich hoffe das sie nicht noch größer wird 😰

Hey people. So far everything looks good. I highly doubt that any lady here will be as productive as one of my “Runtz”. But we'll see. Have a nice week everyone.

Welcome to the Zamnesia Spring Cup. Hi everyone :-) I hope you are all fine 🙏🏻. This week the lady has developed really well 😍👍, which probably has something to do with the Monster Bud Mix that she has been using for a few days 😎. I will top her tomorrow for the first time. After a few more days, I will spontaneously decide whether to do LST or a few more times top :-) Depending on what time allows and how it develops 🤗. It seems to be a very nice genetics. This is how you are used to from Zamnesia 😍🙏🏻. I wish you all a good start to the week, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow 😎👍 Zamnesia Spring Cup 🏆 Type: Runtz ☝️🏼 Genetics: Zkittlez x Gelato 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205 W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Bio ☝️🏼 Nutrients : Monster Bud Mix ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.
