# Black Diamond Auto Pheno A by Zamnesia 🌱💎 ## Week 1 | Fast Out of the Gate Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to another update from the 12/12 From Seed project. This week we're following Black Diamond Auto Pheno A through her first week of life, and she has already started making an impression. Every plant enters the garden with its own pace and personality. Some spend their first days quietly establishing roots before showing much activity above the soil. Others seem eager to get moving from the moment they emerge. So far, Black Diamond Auto Pheno A appears to belong firmly in that second category. --- ## A Strong Start Like the rest of the garden, this seedling was transplanted directly into her final container filled with Plagron Lightmix. The objective remains the same throughout this project: Allow uninterrupted root development from the earliest stages while minimizing transplant stress later in life. As always, the majority of the work during this stage happens beneath the soil surface. While we admire the leaves above ground, the root system is busy establishing the foundation that will support the entire grow. And judging by her progress this week, that foundation appears to be developing very well. --- ## Environment Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week. Daytime temperatures averaged approximately 27°C. Night temperatures remained around 25°C. Relative humidity stayed close to 55%. The nutrient solution was maintained near pH 5.99 with an EC of approximately 0.46 mS/cm. Root zone and solution temperatures remained around 21°C. Lighting was provided by the Future Of Grow Black Series LED system operating under the 12/12 From Seed methodology used throughout this project. At this stage, consistency remains more important than intensity. The goal is healthy establishment, not aggressive growth. Healthy roots first. Everything else follows. --- ## Early Development The first few days showed some slightly unusual leaf formation, something that is not uncommon during the seedling stage. Young plants occasionally display small quirks while transitioning from cotyledons into their first true leaves. What matters most is how the new growth develops. And in this case, every new set of leaves appeared stronger and more defined than the previous one. As the week progressed, the plant began displaying excellent vigor and increasingly healthy structure. The unusual early growth quickly became less noticeable as new leaves emerged. --- ## Building Momentum What stood out most throughout the week was the pace of development. Each new photograph showed visible progress. Leaf size increased steadily. New growth accelerated. Structure remained compact while continuing to expand outward. By the end of the week, Black Diamond Auto Pheno A was already displaying noticeably larger leaves than many of her sisters at the same stage. The bird's-eye photographs reveal a plant that is actively building canopy area and preparing for the next phase of growth. Everything appears healthy, balanced, and energetic. --- ## The Auto Advantage One interesting observation during this first week is the difference between the autoflowering and photoperiod plants sharing the room. While all plants are developing well, the autoflower genetics are already beginning to show the rapid early growth that many growers associate with vigorous autos. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A is a good example of this. The growth rate appears slightly ahead of several of the photoperiod plants documented so far. This is still very early, of course, but it will be fascinating to watch how these differences develop throughout the coming weeks. One of the most rewarding aspects of running multiple cultivars together is observing how each genetic approaches growth in its own unique way. --- ## Three Fingers and Beyond By the end of the week, well-developed three-finger leaves had already become established. What caught my attention was their size. The leaf development appears particularly vigorous for this stage, and some of the newest growth even hints at the next stage of leaf complexity beginning to form. Whether those emerging leaves develop into larger finger counts remains to be seen, but the plant is clearly moving forward with confidence. For a Week 1 seedling, the progress has been impressive. --- ## First Week Impressions So far, Black Diamond Auto Pheno A has delivered an excellent start. Strong vigor. Healthy color. Rapid leaf development. Compact structure. And a growth rate that already places her among the faster-moving plants in the room. The early leaf quirks appear to be fading into the background as healthy new growth takes over. Everything suggests a seedling that is settling comfortably into her environment and preparing for the weeks ahead. --- ## Looking Ahead The first week is complete and the foundation is now in place. Roots continue expanding. New growth is accelerating. The canopy is beginning to form. And this little Black Diamond Auto already seems eager to show what she can do. The coming weeks will reveal much more about her structure, vigor, and overall character. For now, she's doing exactly what every grower hopes to see: Healthy growth. Steady progress. And plenty of potential. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along on another seed-to-harvest adventure. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚

Well there's not much to say about this fine lady she started of as the absulute runt of the little and she come out queen of the litter ! Her main cola weight 50 grams ( wet ) which to me was really cool !! She had a total wet weight of 257G I will post the official dry weight as soon as the curing is done :) A big thank you to everyone who's shown there support for me ! Much love !! A special thank you goes out to all my followers you guys are kick ass man I learn lots from you just like some of you may from me ! Keep on keeping on and I wish you all the best . Overall she was fun to grow cool strain but it tends to hermie , even in the late stages . So to all those growing this strain keep a watch full eye ! -Happy Growing!

5/21 start week 2 flower all of them are in good shape humidity still a bit high 🌀 60% Doing some more LST until end of this week 🏻

So I am entering week 2 of the 12/12 flip, the ladys are showing sex so hopefully later in the week I will get actual pistils so I can start counting down flower days. Day 9 seen pistils but I had to perform a major defoliation as under the canopy was bad and I didnt want powdery mildew due to leafs sweating ect. Day 10 24 hours after defoliation, you could not tell I done a thing to them, im hoping its just a odd leaf now and then thru the rest of the flowering period. Any advice is welcome guys 🙏 I will be adding more fans for airflow. Day 12 of the flip and the girls are on there way to becoming ladys lol I think there's going to be a few nice kolas in there when done, ordered the new box fan for the floor to create more airflow to reduce the risk of pm and mold. I need to top up soil as roots are showing so under the net I go again. Wish me luck.

All plants are starting to flower and doing great. Starting bloom feed 20/12/20. I'll update 3 or 4 times this week.

Day 73 Day 38 Flower Monday 6th Camera is doing no justice, little video, although to my own fault I did not have phone with me when feeding yesterday for decent pictures. I will update again on water tomorrow ✌️ So far stretch has stopped, the recovery from lollipopping and defoliating is immaculate, she is so strong, already seeing denser bud sites and focused energy towards tops. Day 74 - picture updates, looking great 😍💪💚

Week 8 for Moby Dick by fastbuds, Been getting a few spiders webs here & there on this plant... i don't think its spider mites but staying on the look out encase it is. Aphid situation seems to be well handled ATM after i sprayed some organic pesticide on the plant & some much stronger stuff in the surrounding area like i mentioned i planned on doing on last weeks update. Been defoliation very little on this plant just the stuff making shade on the flower growth areas. 😎

Cooking along nicely, plenty of healthy bud sites

Environmental Conditions: Outside temperatures going down, today is raining but this week is lower in temperatures Smallest Wedding Cheesecake: Great bud development, already buds are hard and juicy. Exceptional odors Tropicana Cookies: Phenomenal strain; One girl is going to finish before 8 weeks Purple Lemonade: Tall plants, think ist finish flowering the last Lighting Parameters: PAR Map: Maximum PPFD is 850, minimum PPFD is 600. VPD: Ranges from -1.2 to -1.3. Daytime Temperature (DT): 24-25°C. Nighttime Temperature (NT): 20-21°C. Leaf Temperature: 22-23°C. Light Distance: 45-55 cm from the plants. CO2 Levels: 700+ ppm. HLG Scorpion Diablo: Set at 60%, positioned at a 45-55 cm distance. Daytime: ON for 70 seconds, followed by 25 minutes OFF. Nighttime: OFF for 70 seconds, followed by 35 minutes OFF. Nutrient Tank (NT): pH: Maintained between 5.90 and 6.10. EC: 1.20. Temperature: 20-21°C 18.04.2024 Mixed a 15-liter solution with 20+30ml AN Connoisseur AB . The liquid temperature is 18.8°C. Replaced all filters in the system and cleaned them The outside temperature getting lower this days. Its help a lot to maintain temps in grow box I hope, as per the forecast, temperature will remain low during the upcoming week. The ladies are looking fantastic. Purple Lemonade is slowest on flowering but i think it will be rewarding to wait Tropicana Cookies are racing toward harvest; . Lighting Parameters: PAR Map: Maximum PPFD is 900, minimum PPFD is 650.

Nighttime: OFF for 70 seconds, followed by 35 minutes OFF. Nutrient Tank (NT): pH: Maintained between 5.90 and 6.10. EC: 1.1. Temperature: 20-21°C 20.04.2024 Today, we had a storm accompanied by a power outage. Nothing serious, just a few hours. The temperature and humidity remained within appropriate values. Upon the return of power, the DH48-S relay timer, which controls irrigation, failed again. This has happened for the third time in the last 4 months. Unfortunately, I couldn’t react immediately, so the ladies were without water again for a few hours. I’ve ordered a TrolMaster program device and additional sensors AMP-3 for pH, EC and humidity, and temperature control. No more messing around! Water consumption is gradually decreasing, and electrical conductivity of the water is slowly rising. I’m starting to reduce the strength of the nutrient solution. Each subsequent tank refill will be at approximately 1.0EC. The outdoor temperature is still cooler; let’s hope it stays that way for another week or two! 🌱❄️ Mixed a 15-liter solution with 25+25ml AN Connoisseur AB . The liquid temperature is 18.8°C.

EC: 1.12 Temperature: 20-21°C 22.04.2024 Tropicana Cookies is the only one that got scars in the form of slightly burnt leaf tips. It’s not too severe; due to the lack of water, some mineral residue remained directly at the root. All in all, it could have been worse. I hope the timer won’t deceive me again until my TrolMaster program device arrives. One Tropicana Cookies and one Wedding Cheesecake will finish during the next week, so I’ll slowly start preparing them for harvest. Purple Lemonade and one Wedding Cheesecake will continue flowering into the ninth week, but they’ll be the largest ladies in this batch. All the ladies look and smell fantastic, and the buds are already firm to the touch, especially the Wedding Cheesecake. Starting tomorrow, I’ll gradually reduce the nutrient strength and light intensity. I’ll make an effort to keep the temperature around 23-24°C.

Day 12 pushing hard like the last 4 grows. I’m very impressed so far. Maybe a little calcium that’s about it

The nutrient measurements are for week 7 this week they just got PH water at 2 liters. She’s a beautiful plant!!! Her colors are amazing!!! The inner part of the flower is like a deep blackberry color and the inner parts of the sugar leaves are as well. Amazing plant!!! I have 2 more beans of her and want to do one in a 5 gallon and see how she does just don’t have the space at the minute. She will get one more feeding in 3 days time and then on to her flush.

Harvest was quick and painless!) At this point, the plant hangs upside down and dries slowly.

this is my first experience with hydroponics. I would like help from you! I'm using the NA line can I already use it? is the amount of water good? I put a video thks

No problems while drying. Really strong smell while drying you should use a filter-system for that.

11/3 Week 6 Watered roughly one gal each @6.5PH, Fish Sh!t 5ml - Karo 1 tps /gal Flower Girl still in the pot, no deficiencies I can see, well new ones :) Mag-Sulfur Foliar spray (Epsom Salt 1tbs/gal) on all as leaving cal-mag out this time Moved the two healthy plants to the center of the light, they can use it, the others might respond well to lower levels. 11/4 Better pics uploaded Placed Brandy on a block of coco coir to bring her canopy up to Layla's level. Moved Maggie to the corner she has a stretch going that I HOPE is ending and I dont want to set the lights to her. Watching that plant carefully Considering a PK boost watching only Layla for that as the other two ... well hell what can they tell me? 11/5 Working to getting the canopy under control with one stunted plant and another stretching like crazy. Put a block under Brandy to move her up level with Layla. Trained down Maggie this growth needs to end, it was already stressed. Still giving light pref to healthy plants. 11/6 Raised lights three clicks, increased extraction, showing some heat stress in those edges. 11/7 Good results on the heat stress curling has ended. Noticed some improvement also in the tops of Brandy and Maggie, so raised lights another couple of clicks. See if it continues, coming up on a make or break feeding in couple of days. update Foliar Feed All - Epsom Salt 1tbs/gal Well Maggie's came today - To runoff- 1% peroxide - 5ml CalMag - PH 6.8 Hitting Sulfur as hard as I can. Before pics posted Brandy not dry enough waiting Layla just got fed but she got pics too as there are signs of Mag deficiency 1 gal 6.5 PH - CalMag 5ml - Fish Sh!t 5ml - Bio_Bloom 5ml as a PK booster JIC 11/8 Video of plants 24hrs after giving Maggie the h2o2 1% , think she looks better lets see how it goes 11/9 48 hrs after treatment and Maggie is showing great improvement, serious improvement in leaf structure and coloring. Pics at lights out tomorrow new week anyway. Brandy showing some improvement but its early. Canopy is level now so lights set to Maggie being slightly taller ***Last update before the new week.*** May have found ONE of my problems,certainly not THE problem, but one. I have been using lemon juice as a PH UP since we went organic late last spring. Because of all the problems I have been looking into a lot of things further and found that lemon juice begins to degrade as a PH up after as little as an hour. A 6.0 PH water gallon can go to 6.5ish in 24 hours simply sitting in a dark corner in a jug. One can imagine the variances in soil. Why I dont know but I am going back to chemical PH additives post haste in fact its already done.

Otra semana y van muy bien estas

Growing how it is and its good.
