Day 2 - begin flushing

I've let our girl blue grow for an extra week and I think our base is looking really strong. It's time for topping to creat the base of our manifold. To do this were going to use he Nebula's Manifold technique by Nubula Haze from GrowWeedEasy.com. I'm in no way affiliated with the site or Mrs. Haze but I have found her website to be a great place to start my cannabis growing journey. I've done so much more research now but it did start for me back in 2020 at GrowWeedEasy.com Anyway I've got some video that will explain the method as I top the plant but basically what we're going to top down to the 3rd node and then clean all the extra growth off. This should leave only two growth tips and their fan leaves. Check out the photos and videos for more details. Feeding and light schedules continue as normal.

Soil about 10 days ahead = Welcome to the jungle

Wil get some more shots in a few days! Things are looking really good and I think once they are given a last defoliation and a bit more space we will watch some fucking epic bud flower up! After a nice big defoliation i have them all cleaned up and braced! They are much more settled in and finally have a bit of space! Things are looking very promising for both strains!!!!!

This plant has a solid stench of pure ripe lemons. So much aroma and color in every bud, purples, to dark green, to lime green, to solid frost. This one definitely a fun strain to watch grow and tend too for the last few months. She’s definitely a hungry girl, seemed to be the only strain out of the three that accepted and thrived with full feed nutrients. Would definitely recommend this Strain to someone For a nice uplifting day smoke, also seems to do me good for some pain and stress relief.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 7 | The Black Diamond Begins to Shine Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the things I love most about this project is watching every phenotype write its own story. Every plant grows under exactly the same conditions. The same environment. The same nutrients. The same lighting. The same watering schedule. The only thing changing is the genetics. Black Diamond Pheno A continues proving why phenotype hunts are so fascinating. From the very beginning, this lady has been allowed to grow naturally. No topping. No high-stress training. No aggressive manipulation. Just a little leaf tucking here and there whenever a fan leaf shaded a future bud site, allowing her to express exactly what her genetics wanted to become. Sometimes growers feel the need to shape every branch. Sometimes the best decision is simply to step back and let nature do what it does best. This Black Diamond is becoming the perfect example of that philosophy. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! Every plant in this project has been grown under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from the very first day of life. There is no traditional vegetative stage. The goal is to observe how each genetic behaves when every environmental variable remains identical while allowing the plants to reveal their natural structure without extending their vegetative growth. It's an incredibly rewarding way to compare phenotypes because each plant develops its own personality without artificial intervention. And Black Diamond Pheno A has certainly developed one. 💎 A Natural Beauty Becoming a Giant Last week she impressed me. This week she surprised me. Standing at 169 cm, she has continued stretching while maintaining one of the cleanest structures in the entire room. Long branches. Excellent spacing. Beautiful symmetry. Every branch seems to know exactly where it wants to grow, naturally reaching for the light without fighting for space. The central cola has become a true focal point, but what impresses me even more is how evenly the secondary branches are developing around it. The entire plant feels balanced. Confident. Purposeful. Sometimes you look at a plant and immediately know she's going to become something special. That's exactly the feeling I get every time I open the tent. 🌸 Flower Production Is Moving Fast This is where things are becoming really exciting. Bud formation has accelerated dramatically over the past week. Every flowering site is stacking beautifully, with fresh white pistils covering nearly every inch of the future colas. What's particularly impressive is how far ahead she appears compared to her actual age. If someone showed me these flowers without any context, I'd probably guess she was at least another week or two further into bloom. The flowers already have real presence. The main cola is thickening. The side branches are filling in rapidly. And everywhere I look, I see healthy calyx development preparing for the bulking phase that's just around the corner. She's definitely one of the most advanced plants in the room. ❄️ Frost Arriving Earlier Than Expected Another pleasant surprise this week has been the resin production. Even this early into flowering, the sugar leaves are already beginning to sparkle. Tiny trichomes are appearing across the developing flowers, creating that first shimmering layer every grower loves seeing. It's still early. There's a very long way to go before harvest. But she's already hinting at the frosty future she's preparing. If this pace continues... She could become one of the frostiest ladies of the entire project. 🍃 Letting the Plant Do What She Does Best One thing that hasn't changed throughout this grow is my approach. No topping. No high-stress training. No unnecessary defoliation. No complicated techniques. Only occasional leaf tucking whenever a large fan leaf blocks light from reaching a developing flower site. That's it. Everything else has been entirely natural. Watching her develop like this is a wonderful reminder that healthy genetics often know exactly what they want to do when given the right environment. Sometimes the grower's biggest job... ...is knowing when not to interfere. 💧 Feeding the Next Stage of Bloom As flowering accelerates, the feeding program continues supporting the increasing nutritional demands. This week's recipe includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L • pH adjustment using Plagron pH Plus and Lemon Kick The EC has now increased to 1.95, giving the plant everything she needs as flower production continues ramping up. The response has been outstanding. Healthy leaves. Excellent colour. Strong growth. Zero signs of stress. Exactly what every grower hopes to see. 💡 Welcoming Lumiflora Under-Canopy Lighting This week also marks another exciting addition to the project. I've introduced Lumiflora under-canopy lighting. Most LED fixtures do an excellent job illuminating the top of the canopy. The challenge comes later in flower, when dense foliage naturally shades the lower branches. That's exactly where under-canopy lighting becomes interesting. Rather than replacing the main light, Lumiflora simply adds additional usable light underneath the canopy, helping areas that would normally receive far less illumination. What am I hoping to see? • Better development of lower flowers. • More even bud density throughout the plant. • Improved light penetration into the middle of the canopy. • More efficient use of every flowering site. What am I not expecting? Miracles. Under-canopy lighting won't compensate for poor genetics. It won't replace good environmental control. It won't fix nutrient problems. It's simply another tool that, when combined with healthy plants and a stable environment, has the potential to improve overall flower quality from top to bottom. I'm genuinely excited to see what difference it makes during the coming weeks. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment remains stable, allowing the plants to focus entirely on flower production. Current conditions: • Week 7 Flower • Height: 169 cm • Light schedule: 12/12 • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Root zone temperature: 21°C • Nutrient solution temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Consistency remains one of the biggest contributors to healthy, stress-free growth. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs tell an incredible story. The full-plant images reveal a tall, elegant phenotype confidently rising above much of the surrounding canopy, while maintaining exceptional balance from top to bottom. The close-ups show flower sites rapidly stacking along nearly every branch, already carrying impressive numbers of bright white pistils. One thing that immediately catches my eye is the amount of visible frost beginning to appear on the sugar leaves. It's subtle. But it's definitely there. The main cola is quickly becoming a beautiful spear, while the secondary branches are following closely behind. This plant photographs beautifully because she's simply growing beautifully. 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should become some of the most exciting of the entire grow. Stretch should gradually slow as more energy is redirected toward building dense flowers. The calyxes will begin swelling. The flowers should continue stacking into longer, thicker colas. Resin production will accelerate. And I'll be watching the impact of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting with great interest to see how the lower flowers develop compared to previous runs. If she continues performing like this... This Black Diamond may become one of the true stars of the entire 8×8 Adventure. And honestly... She's giving me every reason to believe she will. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this journey. Growing is always a balance between knowledge, patience, observation and trust. Sometimes the best thing we can do is simply create the right conditions... ...and allow the genetics to tell their own story.

This is not ready to harvest jet...

Happy days my friends 😏 I'm going into the flush periode so I'm thinking one liter with 1 ml flawless finish after 5 or 10 minutes another clear 4 liter water and repeating this every day. I'm really curious what is the best finish, so how is your opinion about that ??? And yea she had a beatifull week and the buds are nice and fat 😶‍🌫️🤤 so lets finish her up ✌️👽🤤🤤

Major defoliation/ lollipoping that happened this week right on day 20 my main concern was looking for more hermies (due to stem cracks from lst) and also cut out any lower branches that where going to make larfy buds. I only cut up the branches untill the point that the budsites where at least a nice pistil cluster (10and up ) some branches got a good 6-7 inches shaved off some more like 2-3 just depends on the plant with so much variety. Also my plants are like touching the lights it just wont let me mark less then 4inches i have the ability to raise my light another 2inches so i will definitely be doing that. For now i have the taller branches off to the sides so the can outgrow the light without burning. Smells finally starting to come in with more gassy earth coming from DD and devine chocolate GG4 smell coming from the mellows Still see some nitrogen toxicity not sure if should cut all nutes in half considerIng week three biogrow increases to 3ml/L

July 17 - another topping session! ✂️✂️✂️ July 19 - Little defoliation 💚

And here we are at our Zamnesia harvests, Northern Lights 1 - Born on 01.09.2024 - Harvested on 14.11.2024 precisely ten weeks and 4 days of life on this earth. ATTENTION - The other plant was harvested and documented in the previous week, for convenience and to better distinguish them at harvest time I divide them for you. Even though we are growers in our small intensive it is always a little displeasure to prune these masterpieces of nature and cannabis breeding but on the other hand the purpose for which it produced these buds full of resin is noble and if it remained there for a long time it would not come to a good end, so without further ado it is harvested. We evaluated the harvest because the flowers seemed to have been ripe for a while, very mature pistils, rock flowers that seemed ready for about a week but I still flushed for the best possible result in terms of organoleptic cleanliness of the flower. Pistils ripe at 80-90% and trichomes mostly clody, quite a bit amber and in the violet shades of the leaves reddish and violet gorgeous, really a beautiful show of trichomes. The scent is truly wonderful at the time of harvest I could not distinguish it well then slowly something sweet and fruity mixed with spicy came out a mix that always intoxicates me. The results in terms of quantity are not bad at all we will be around 30-40 the first one already harvested and 50-60 this one. We are very happy to be on Zamnesia's side and to show you what work they are doing with breeding. Soil - The plant was grown with the 100% organic Plagron Promix soil, which I really appreciated for its fantastic absorption coefficient and for an airiness that would not even require perlite, which I added in some cases. Fertilizers - From day one, fertilizers were calculated with the module on the Plagron website that allows you to calculate your customized fertilization schedule. I used: Alga Grow and Algra Bloom as basic fertilizers, Power Roots as a rooting agent, Sugar Royal amino acids, the very important Pure Zym enzymes that process the dead parts of the plant and transform them into fertilizer, Vita Race as a strengthening foliar, Power Buds that stimulates a very fast production of buds for real and the legendary Green Sensation booster without equal on the market. They are all available on the Zamnesia website in convenient packs perfect for growing, just do a simple search if you use mineral fertilizers and you will find the line that best suits you // At the link --- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html On the Plagron website instead you can find the info and calculate your custom growing schedule At the link --- https://plagron.com/en The DS120w Growbox and the fantastic DF16 ventilation / filtration system are from Secret Jardin, there was a change of growbox between autoflowering and photoperiodic at a certain point for a height emergency if you notice discrepancies on the light models and growbox it is for this but everything should be fine.

FLOWER WEEK 8: Late Bloom Ripening & Heavy Stacking | AK-47 XL ​🌿 FLOWERING PROGRESS ​We have advanced into Week 8 of the flowering phase, and the AK-47 XL is deep in her final ripening stage. The plant has successfully navigated the peak of the summer heat and is now putting all of its remaining energy into swelling and resin production. ​The colas across the Scrog net have become remarkably thick and heavy, showing massive structural density. The trichome coverage has expanded even further, giving the entire canopy a frosty, glistening silver appearance under the lights. Pistils are increasingly turning amber-orange as the buds mature and harden into solid chunks. The overall health of the canopy remains strong, successfully utilizing the maxed-out nutrient profile to fill out every single top above the screen. 📈 ​💧 NUTRIENT FEEDING & WATERING ​The plant is keeping up a high metabolic pace, effectively absorbing the heavy nutrient doses to maximize the final weight and compact structure of the buds. ​Current Feeding Schedule (per Liter): ​Bio-Bloom: 4.0 ml/l ​Top-Max: 4.0 ml/l ​Bio-Grow: 1.0 ml/l ​Bio-Heaven: 5.0 ml/l ​Acti-Vera: 5.0 ml/l ​Calmag: 1.0 ml/l ​Parameters (Weekly Averages): ​pH: 6.3 ​Relative Humidity (RH): 58.9% (Good, dropping trend to secure the dense buds) ​Temperature: 27.8°C ​VPD: 1.54 kPa (Perfect sweet spot for late-stage ripening and metabolic drive) ​CO2: 565 ppm ​💭 GROWER'S NOTE ​👀 Status Report: The environment is looking great for late bloom. Having the weekly average humidity at 58.9% with a steady VPD of 1.54 kPa provides the plant with the exact transpiration drive it needs to pack on weight without stressing the tissue. The maximum feeding of Bio-Heaven and Acti-Vera at 5.0 ml/l each has done wonders to keep the plant vibrant and active through these final weeks. The aroma is incredibly strong and pungent now. We are approaching the finish line, and she looks absolutely legendary! 🚀l km

As you can see that I have taken allot of leaves of because they were getting too yellow and drying up. So far she is fdoing great. I have been giving her les frequently water now. Like every other 3 or 4 day. Thats because she has less leaves now to hold water. The smell is just fruity and mazing. I think she still needs 2 weeks but lets see.

Overall a great strain too grow as grows with ease and seemingly without issues even with minimal care. With care she can produce hefty buds, as kept mine small my flowers reflect but still produced great smelling powerfully buds 🌱 Cycle finished in time essentially with ease and I'd be happy too recomend this strain from fastbuds. I will update with more images and videos upon timing complete and give dry weight ect, these girls wont bring much but smell absolute treat. Atm I have tried 1 small nug but still not ready not long untill can trim up, great oils and taste just need a little cure up once finished. Tried uploading longer videos but again says error 👎 have now added few extra videos

Day 85. Just before lights photo's for better true colour understanding, Bio Grow and AlgaMic is out, after finishing this cycle CalMag and Silica out too. Hope its not too early, but girls are really healthy, time to pump up the flowers not leaves :) Day 86. Girls just flying, very happy with Gorillas and Control Garden looks really funky, they stand under no direct light on them... and still flowers looks amazing. Got my new mobile, had to try out :) Next week very busy at work, no updates I think. Day 89. So again i made mistake, while watering them last time accidently left heater on, they overdried , plus temps where at +33c ... Bunny Gorilla looks bad, Gorilla Max got biggest pistil damage, half went brown. Thinking i took nitrogen too early out, but we shall see. On other hand all Control Garden took it well even Cookies with theirs waxy leaves stood thurst nice as such stress can be ... Planing to do defoliation next week, but if Gorillas started to eat themselves already will leave them as it is. Future will show .. Happy Growing !!!
