💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 3 Flower The Quiet Sister Is Starting to Shine Not every plant needs to be the biggest in the room to deserve attention. Sometimes the more interesting story belongs to the one quietly developing in the background, steadily building her structure while her sister is busy taking every photon she can find. That is exactly where Black Diamond Auto Pheno B finds herself this week. Her sister, Pheno A, continues to be the more explosive phenotype of the two, pushing larger and more dominant flower clusters and naturally demanding attention whenever I open the tent. Pheno B? Well... She's a little more shy. 😄 But I'm pretty sure she's still walking around the room looking for those extra photons. Unfortunately for her, Pheno A seems to have already collected most of them. And yet, when I stop and actually look at Pheno B, there is a lot to admire. She may not be producing the same oversized colas as her sister, but she is developing into a beautiful, balanced plant with exceptionally healthy foliage, excellent flower distribution, and a very elegant structure. This is exactly why I love documenting individual phenotypes. Same genetics. Same environment. Same nutrition. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same training philosophy. Two completely different personalities. And Pheno B is beginning to show us hers. 🌱 12/12 From Seed Like every plant in this project, Pheno B has been grown using my favourite technique: 12/12 From Seed. From the moment she emerged from the soil, she has lived under a flowering light schedule without an extended vegetative period. No topping. No high-stress training. No aggressive manipulation. Just gentle Low Stress Training, leaf tucking, observation, and allowing the genetics to decide how the plant wants to develop. And this phenotype is making a very convincing argument for that approach. Her architecture has remained upright and elegant, with flower sites developing progressively along the branches rather than forming one massive dominant structure. She isn't trying to become the biggest girl in the room. She's simply becoming her own girl. And I really like that. 🌿 Environment Another week of stability inside the flowering room gives these plants exactly what they need: consistency. 🌡️ Day Temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 60% 🥤 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 21°C 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm 💦 Watering: 1.3 L per plant / 24h ? Pot Size: 15 L 📏 Plant Height: approximately 160 cm The root zone remains stable at 21°C, while the nutrient solution is also maintained around 21°C. This kind of environmental consistency is something I value enormously. The plants don't need to spend their energy adapting to constant changes. They can simply grow. And that's exactly what Pheno B is doing. 🌿 Training & Canopy Management The training philosophy remains unchanged. Gentle LST continues to guide the branches outward, while leaf tucking is used whenever necessary to open developing flower sites. There is still no defoliation. The fan leaves remain healthy, green, and highly active, so I see no reason to remove them simply for the sake of creating a cleaner-looking plant. Those leaves are working. They're capturing light. They're producing energy. And Pheno B still has plenty of flowering ahead of her. So for now, I prefer to let her keep every healthy solar panel she has. Sometimes the best training decision is knowing when not to interfere. 🌾 Feeding Program The flowering nutrition program continues supporting the transition from stretch into increasingly active flower production. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Plagron pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L • Plagron Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L Current solution strength is around 2 mS/cm, with the irrigation maintained at approximately 1.3 litres per plant per 24 hours. And visually? She's loving it. The foliage remains a beautiful, deep green without showing obvious signs of excess or deficiency. No dramatic corrections are necessary. No reason to chase numbers simply because we can. The plant is telling us that she's comfortable. So once again, the best decision is simply to stay the course. 💎 Phenotype Spotlight – The Quiet Sister This is where Pheno B really deserves her moment. At approximately 160 cm, she has developed into a tall, elegant plant with a very different expression from her sister. The colas may not be quite as large or aggressive as Pheno A's, but there is something incredibly attractive about the way Pheno B is building her flowers. The plant is covered in developing sites. The branches remain nicely spaced. The flowers are stacking progressively along the internodes. And the entire plant has that beautiful, healthy green appearance that makes you stop and look twice. Her slender leaf fingers continue to stand out as one of her most interesting characteristics. For a heavily indica-dominant Black Diamond Auto, this particular phenotype continues expressing a surprisingly elegant, narrow-leaf appearance. It's another reminder that genetics are never quite as simple as a percentage written on a seed description. You can grow two plants from the same genetic line, place them in the exact same environment, and still watch them tell completely different stories. Pheno A is the loud sister. Pheno B is the quiet one. But quiet doesn't mean uninteresting. Far from it. 🌸 Flower Development This is probably the most exciting part of this week's update. The flowers are becoming much more defined now. The early framework of individual pistil clusters is beginning to transform into recognizable buds, and the calyxes are progressively stacking along the flowering branches. The pistils are still predominantly fresh and white, although a few are already beginning to change. The flowers are also carrying an increasingly visible layer of resin, especially around the sugar leaves and developing calyxes. It's still far too early to make any serious predictions about the final level of frost or aroma. But the first signs are definitely there. And sometimes that's all you need. A little sparkle. A little promise. A hint of what might be waiting several weeks from now. 💡 The Photon Hunt Continues One of the funniest differences between these two sisters is how they seem to approach the light. Pheno A? She simply takes it. Pheno B? She looks like she's still searching for more. 😂 With her more open and elongated structure, she seems almost determined to explore every available pocket of light inside the room. But there is a problem. Her sister is already standing there. Taking it all. Pheno A continues producing those larger, more dominant colas, while Pheno B is developing a greater number of beautifully distributed flowering sites. And honestly, I don't think that's a bad thing at all. Different architecture. Different flower distribution. Different potential. That's exactly what makes a phenotype hunt interesting. 🌿 Welcoming Lumiflora The introduction of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system is also becoming increasingly interesting as flowering progresses. The goal is simple: Complement the overhead lighting by bringing additional usable light into areas of the canopy that naturally receive less intensity. Pheno B's more open structure makes her particularly interesting to watch under this setup. Rather than trying to predict exactly what the additional light will accomplish, I'm choosing the approach I always prefer: Document it. Observe it. Compare it. Then let the harvest tell us the truth. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I expect the transition toward heavier flower production to become increasingly obvious. The remaining stretch should continue slowing down, while the developing flowers begin putting more emphasis on calyx expansion and stacking. Pheno B may never produce the same massive cola structure as her sister. And that's perfectly fine. Because she's building something different. She's becoming a tall, elegant plant covered in beautifully distributed flowers, with healthy dark-green foliage and an increasingly visible resin presence. Maybe Pheno A is the sister everyone notices first. But Pheno B? She's the one who makes you stop when you finally take the time to look. And I think she's going to surprise us. 💚 Final Thoughts There is something incredibly rewarding about watching two sisters grow side by side. One is more explosive. One is more reserved. One seems determined to conquer the entire tent. The other appears to be quietly wandering around asking where all the photons went. 😂💎 But both are expressing the same genetics in completely different ways. And that's the beauty of phenotype hunting. Pheno B doesn't need to beat her sister. She simply needs to become the best version of herself. Right now, she's on a beautiful path to doing exactly that. Her foliage is lush. Her structure is elegant. Her flowers are developing beautifully. Her resin production is beginning to announce itself. And she's slowly transforming from the quieter sister into a plant that deserves her own spotlight. So this week, the spotlight belongs to her. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B. The quiet sister. The photon hunter. And maybe... just maybe... the one hiding a beautiful surprise underneath all that green. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these Black Diamond Auto genetics, to Plagron for supporting this journey with their nutrient line, and to Lumiflora for joining the project with their under-canopy lighting system. And, as always, thank you to the amazing GrowDiaries community for following along, sharing your knowledge, and enjoying this journey with me. Two sisters. One genetic line. Two completely different stories. And we're still only getting started. Until next week... Growers love and Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Blütetag 66 / Tag 126 – Final Ripening – Kush bereit, Gusher kocht noch Der Dutch Passion Double Run geht jetzt klar in die finale Reifephase. Beide Pflanzen zeigen sehr deutlich ihre genetischen Unterschiede – vor allem beim Reifetempo. Während die Triangle Sherbet Kush schon stark nach Ernte aussieht, lässt sich die White Gusher 33 noch etwas Zeit. 🌡️ Klima Klimatisch wurde es diese Woche wieder etwas kühler und feuchter. Das merkt man im Zelt sofort: Die Luftfeuchtigkeit steigt schneller und der VPD wird etwas schlechter. Ohne Klimaanlage lässt sich das nicht immer perfekt ausgleichen, aber in dieser späten Phase dürfte das die Pflanzen nicht mehr wesentlich beeinträchtigen. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus Beide Pflanzen befinden sich sichtbar im Endspurt, allerdings mit unterschiedlichem Tempo. Die Triangle Sherbet Kush wirkt inzwischen nahezu ausgereift. Die Buds sind massiv angeschwollen, dicht und schwer. Viel Wachstum passiert nicht mehr – sie konzentriert sich jetzt hauptsächlich auf Reife und Harzproduktion. Auch die Blattstellung zeigt das deutlich: Viele Fächerblätter stehen im typischen Kanu-Modus und wirken fast unbeweglich. Die Pflanze signalisiert ziemlich klar, dass sie langsam fertig ist. Die White Gusher 33 dagegen braucht noch etwas Zeit. Sie wirkt insgesamt etwas aktiver und schiebt stellenweise sogar noch leicht nach, obwohl einige Buds schon recht weit aussehen. Struktur / Genetikvergleich Gerade jetzt zum Ende wird der genetische Unterschied besonders sichtbar. Die Triangle Sherbet Kush bringt klassische Kush-Struktur: extrem kompakte, schwere Buds, dicht gestapelt und massiv angeschwollen. Die Blüten wirken fast wie gegossen. Die White Gusher 33 ist ebenfalls sehr frostig und kompakt, wirkt aber insgesamt etwas struppiger und leicht blättriger aufgebaut. Zwischen den Buds sitzt etwas mehr kleines Blattmaterial, und durch das leichte Foxtailing wirkt die Struktur lebendiger. Kurz gesagt: • Triangle Sherbet Kush: kompakte, schwere Kush-Buds • White Gusher 33: etwas sativa-lastigere Struktur mit Foxtails 🔬 Blütestatus / Trichome Bei der Triangle Sherbet Kush sind bereits einige bernsteinfarbene Trichome sichtbar. Viele Köpfe sind milchig, aber noch nicht vollständig durchgehend trüb. Eigentlich wäre sie schon fast im Erntefenster, darf oben aber ruhig noch etwas weiter Richtung Bernstein gehen, damit auch die unteren Buds sauber ausreifen. Die White Gusher 33 ist hier noch etwas zurück. Milchige Trichome nehmen zwar zu, aber Bernstein ist noch kaum vorhanden. Dazu kommt, dass sie stellenweise weiterhin Foxtails bildet – teilweise sogar an kleineren Buds, bei denen man dachte, sie wären schon fertig. Genau das macht das Timing etwas tricky. Was beide Pflanzen aber deutlich gezeigt haben: Diese Woche wurde noch einmal kräftig eingezuckert. Die Harzproduktion hat sichtbar zugelegt und der Geruch wird zunehmend stechender und intensiver. 💧 Pflege Die Nährstoffphase ist abgeschlossen. Gegossen wird jetzt nur noch mit klarem Wasser, damit die Pflanzen sauber in die Endreife laufen können. ⏳ Ausblick Jetzt beginnt das klassische Ernte-Timing-Spiel. Die Triangle Sherbet Kush wäre vom Gefühl her eigentlich schon bereit. Die White Gusher 33 braucht dagegen noch ein wenig Zeit. Darum heißt es jetzt: Geduld. Eine Ernte in etwa einer Woche ist gut möglich – es kann aber auch sein, dass die White Gusher noch etwas länger stehen bleibt. Viel fehlt auf jeden Fall nicht mehr. 🏁 Wochenfazit Kush ist bereit. Gusher braucht noch. Grow on 🌱 Rocko Flower Day 66 / Day 126 – Final Ripening – Kush ready, Gusher still cooking The Dutch Passion Double Run is now clearly entering the final ripening phase. Both plants are showing their genetic differences very clearly – especially when it comes to ripening speed. While the Triangle Sherbet Kush already looks very close to harvest, the White Gusher 33 still wants a little more time. 🌡️ Climate The climate this week became a bit cooler and more humid again. You notice that immediately in the tent: humidity rises faster and the VPD drops slightly. Without an AC it’s not always easy to balance perfectly, but at this late stage it shouldn’t affect the plants too much anymore. 🌿 Plant Status Both plants are clearly in the final stretch, but moving at different speeds. The Triangle Sherbet Kush now looks almost fully matured. The buds are massively swollen, dense and heavy. There isn’t much growth happening anymore – it seems to focus mainly on ripening and resin production. The leaf posture also says a lot: many fan leaves sit in the typical canoe position and hardly move anymore. The plant clearly signals that it’s almost finished. The White Gusher 33, on the other hand, still needs a bit more time. She looks slightly more active overall and in some places she even keeps pushing a little more, although some buds already look quite advanced. Structure / Genetic Expression At this stage the genetic differences become especially visible. The Triangle Sherbet Kush shows classic Kush structure: extremely compact, heavy buds stacked tightly and swollen to the maximum. The White Gusher 33 is also very frosty and compact, but overall appears a bit rougher and slightly leafier. There are more small sugar leaves between the buds, and the light foxtailing gives the flowers a more lively structure. In short: • Triangle Sherbet Kush: dense, heavy Kush buds • White Gusher 33: slightly more sativa-leaning structure with foxtails 🔬 Flower Status / Trichomes The Triangle Sherbet Kush already shows some amber trichomes. Many heads are milky, though not completely cloudy yet. She’s basically already inside the harvest window, but it wouldn’t hurt if the top buds develop a little more amber so the lower buds can fully mature as well. The White Gusher 33 is still slightly behind. Milky trichomes are increasing, but amber is still rare. She is also still producing some foxtails, even on smaller buds where you would think development was already finished. One thing that became very obvious this week though: Both plants got noticeably more frosty. Resin production clearly increased and the smell is getting sharper and more intense. 💧 Care The nutrient phase is finished. From now on the plants are only getting plain water as they move into the final ripening stage. ⏳ Outlook Now it becomes the classic harvest timing game. The Triangle Sherbet Kush feels almost ready already. The White Gusher 33, however, still needs a bit more time. So for now it’s simply about waiting a little longer. Harvest in about one week seems possible – but it could also be that the White Gusher stands a bit longer. The finish line is very close now. 🏁 Weekly Summary Kush is ready. Gusher still needs time. Grow on 🌱 Rocko

Welcome to week4!🤠 Fixed her discoloured leafs, it was due to frequent watering🌊 She entered vegetative stage only after 4 weeks of growing, which is way sooner then last time!😯 And I'm using a humiditor to keep the air at 60%😋 See you very soon!🤠❤️

Привет друзья. Моей растихе сегодня 48 дней. Начал применять LST технику на 19 дне и продалжаю применять её через день, а 18 августа добавил ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ С 20.08 ДЕФОЛИЗАЦИЮ делаю каждые 3,4 дня С 20.08 LST технику делаю каждые 4.6 дней На сегодняшний день влажность 50% Три дня назад заметил высокий Ph 7.9 С сегодняшнего дня Ph 5.8 Заказал погладитель влажности, отпишусь в следующем репорте. Не смотря на высокую влажность и высокий Ph, растение растёт хорошо, генетика радует. Всем мира и добра! https://t.me/smail_seeds #Smail_Seeds

After Week 1 in the eazyplug, i've transplanted the Permanent Marker into a bigger Pot

best cannabis I ever grew and smoked. Others agree. This is a cup winner I would win with no competition. 3 months harvested, 90% consumed. Will run more genetics and future cross, backcross. Feels like energy drinks, positive, 100% youre high and lit, extreme ripped. Smell is slight citrus, this is very sweet tasting and smelling because of my methods of growing. Oozing sticky like an industrial adhesive. Daytime smoke, ripped no couchlock. For heavy daily smoker this is above your level of comprehension, good luck finishing 0.5g session. 10/10 all categories. 4 months after harvest video macro, this is what 40% looks like

This week didn't start very well as while trying to apply LST to one of the two branches I broke it. ❌ Luckily the plant recovered quickly and therefore I was able to proceed with the second topping to continue the mainlining technique. ✔️ The plant is a little asymmetrical, but I will try to adjust it in the next weeks of vegetative growth. 🔍 I slightly increased the nutrients. 🔝

Germinação demorou 5 dias 13/08 - foi pra terra - 200ml água 14/08 - 15/08 - 200ml água 16/08 - Primeira aparição da planta - 17/08 - 500ml água 18/08 - 300ml água 19/08 - 20/08 - 300ml água

Installed the 3rd trellis net and still didn’t help against the stretch. Was forced to super-crop both plants and they both made a very fast and strong recover. The canopy is now flat and full of flowers. Flowers are starting to get chunky as well.

24 hr soak in my proprietary h2O2 blend, she'll be moved to a paper towel to show the tail, then off to her forever home (planted 12/18/24) to do what it is she does. This will be an organic grow with a DIY self watering tray made from dollar store Tupperware, some reflective tape, and some wicking cord. The pot size is 1 gallon and she's going to get a nice dose of LST and ponytailing to minimize the apical dominance while hopefully maximizing the yield. Tiny tent, tiny light, big dreams... Stay tuned folks, this oughta be a wild trip to Ghost Beach!!

Hallo und herzlich willkommen zu meinem Growbericht Outdoor 2025 mit den Sorten Power Flower Feminized, Royal Medic Feminized und Special Kush #1 Feminized, alle 3 von Royal Queen Seeds. Es ist das erste Mal, das ich Töpfe für den Outdoor grow verwende, bisher waren alle Gorilla grows und direkt in die Erde gepflanzt. Die URL der Power Flower Feminized: https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/feminisierte-hanfsamen/120-power-flower.html Die URL der Royal Medic Feminized: https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/cbd-samen/148-royal-medic.html Die URL der Special Kush #1 Feminized: https://www.royalqueenseeds.de/feminisierte-hanfsamen/138-special-kush-1.html Die Planung für den Grow ist, die Samen in easyplug Anzuchtwürfeln keimen zu lassen und danach in 0,6L und 2,2L Plastiktöpfen, dann letztlich in die neuen komplett doppellagigen ROOTIES 15 Liter Wide Version Stofftöpfe umzutopfen. Sobald die Witterung es zuläßt, sollen die Pflanzen an die frische Luft. Es ist schon eine Weile her, das der Grow losging, die Bilder sind jetzt aktuell. Tag 211: Für heute waren 20°C vorhergesagt, tatsächlich steckt die Sonne hinter dickem Hochnebel und es sind gerade mal 14°C. Heute Nacht geht's mit 2 °C Richtung Gefrierpunkt. Alle drei Ladies purpeln im Laub. Sie bekommen nur noch pures Brunnenwasser. Der abgebrochene Ast der Special Kush ist wieder komplett angewachsen. Wenn's dir gefallen hat, schau wieder vorbei ✌️😎

I don't think this one is growing as fast as the first one did but still looking great. Trying Gaia Green for forst time

This lady seems to be doing really great, she's growing on some thick nuggs that start to smell super fruity, im really curious about how she will turn out. Stopped with nutrients yesterday Think she will be ready in a week or two

First days we recover from to much water and food.... 3 day of no water , got to give them some ph neutraal water Day 4 of week 4 gave them 0,5 liter of water incl some terra

Had a lot going on this week so the plants didnt get any care or maintenance at all other than just checking on the water level a couple times. They need some major defoliation which I wanted to do this week but procrastination is the vibes currently. Will probably get some done next week.... the plants are looking good and most of them are bushing out pretty nice. They dont seem to be stretching as much as they normally do by this time, but they are transitioning to flower. Will probably do a flush and water change soon since they haven't had one in over a month. I'm just anxious to see some frosty buds at this point.

Flushed and flushing!!!!

Increased their food by a tad. Looked perfectly health raised to about 1900ppm. Again spider mites at it crawling up every leaf and creating a colony. I thought it was over until I sat there nearly every night finding the f*****s and rubbing the leaves with the spray. Defoliation was needed ASAP due to them stretching nicely. Started slowly from the bottom up. (repeated this process every 3-5 days.)

Another smooth week with the continued issues ive previously addressed. Trichomes are multiplying and buds have grown some. With the dehumidifier running pretty much constantly, it has bypassed my carbon filter. (I have my dehumidifier extract from outside the so I'm not adding additional, unwanted, heat.) Smell is very evident within the entire room. Final week of feeding and I have turned my reds down to 50%. Took trichome shots for fun around the front of the plant.

Semana 25 março - 31 março 27 março - feeding day 30 março - feeding day: Bio bloom 2ml; topmax 1ml; bio heaven 2ml; bio grow 1ml; acti-vera 1.5ml pH 6.3 1.1L de água

This week spaced among different types of weather, from rain and hail storms, to sunny and heat (I took the plants indoors for the hail) Height looks the same, because I added some ground, so they grew but it looks they did not. They get water once a day and the point leaf count is increasing. Soon they will be moved to 14 liters pots, what do you think? I normally wait that they have 5 points (or more) per each whole leaf Thanks for following me and in case you want to share anything, feel free to text me or comment PEACE
