High y'all 👋 The girls are ready for flower but I'd like to see a couple more inches in height. I gave them all a good top dressing of flower food to get the dirt ready for the switch to flower next week 😁 They are already stacking up nicely and they are not in stretch yet. I cranked up the horse power on the lights today at 30" they are getting about 50 or so DLI which will drop when I switch to 12s and as they stretch they will get closer to the lights increasing the DLI again I'm excited for Hedgehog season 😛 See y'all next week...

What’s up fellow Growmies! Got another exciting strain from Canuk Seeds... Cement Shoes! Yep, gonna be sleeping with the fishes. Lol First time trying this strain but so far it’s been a breeze. I kinda took a break from documenting my grows because life got a bit hectic for a bit their, but I’m back and got some more great strains lined up for the future. Gonna try and do an outdoor RDWC setup this summer so stay tuned, gonna be some monsters hopefully! I’ve never seen it done really and I have a few ideas...lol but anyway, back the the cement shoes. So I started them awhile back(not exactly sure when) in my smaller tent(3x4) under a single 1200w King LED grow light. They spent about 2 months in this tent in 3 gal DWC buckets until they outgrew the buckets and tent and need to be moved. Up until this point they were kinda just on auto pilot in the background of my other larger tents. But I was planning on reducing my plant count in my larger 4x8 tents so I decided to go from 4 plants per tent to 2 plants per tent, so we needed some big girls to fill these tents. Lol they were topped at 3-4th node and just let them go from there. They ended up being about 3 feet tall above the 1ft tall buckets. Moved them over too one of my bigger 4x8 tents and added a screen very carefully and ScrOG’d them out. Still waiting on my new Eye HPS Bulb so they are still currently under my 1000w MH. I’ll post all the pics I can find in this weeks log from the veg time and they are about 2 weeks into flower now so I’ll snap some flower pics soon and continue from there. So far 2 plants vegged a bit longer are filling the shoes of 4 plants no problem. Having more space means I also have not had to really defoliate at all. Well that’s it so far, stay tuned for more! Cheers 💨

I think everything was well but then i see the Doppler Plant starts automatically to bloom 😳🤯 and that under a 18/6 Cycle. I know that S1 Strains (self pollinated Mother Plant) are not Automatic Plants. Only when one of their Parents have these Genes. So i was a little bit confused and started to write with the Breeder about that. They are really curious too, how this can happen Was a wild Week with that News. But don’t worry i give her the best Light Intension as i can for the other Plants Veg. PPFD Range was between 500 and 600. Get the Pot higher that she get enough Sun. For now it was not that bad I‘m sure there come not really an Stretch. I started to spread the Plant out as much as i can with LST Mixed her before i discovered that 500ml Water with 20ml Orgatrex and 1g Bactrex in it. It wasn't quite what I expected, as I now drive one Auto and three Photperiods. But I'm still in a good mood 🤩

So this week has been interesting for the gorilla and blueberry. They are packing on some weight especially the gorilla the buds are getting super fat. The zkittlez has been a lost cause for a while now. I decided to cut this down once I started to notice some amber trichs. I'll update and put in a harvest once this is dried and trimmed in about 7 days. There wont be much there. Will mainly make hash from this and edibles. My screens are on the way to make some nice sift. I genuinely think I'll be lucky to pull 3.5gs of dried smokable bud. I am now flushing with plain water both of the remaining plants and I am hoping the gorilla can hold off for another 2 weeks so I can cut these both down at the same time and utilize my tent for drying. These should more than make up for the disappointment of the zkittlez. I had 3 oz in my head as a good yield from this first grow and I'm confident I could make 4 by the looks of these plants. There is some nice fading appearing on the blueberry leaves as you can hopefully tell but they defo need to fatten up. Trichs are half cloudy on both plants maybe slightly further on the gorilla.

Day 56 At first I thought the purple stemming was genetics but from how small her leafs are at the top i think it was a deficiency. This feed pushes plants hard and some just arent up for it,

Wow she's grown 31cm this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now she's 52cm tall!!! Amazing. She looks like she is entering flowering, so as she is on 20/4 light that means she is an autoflower!!! 😍 I still have no idea what breeder she is from though 😭

Nice harvest 🙌🙌 and a beautiful girl to watch throughout her life cycles

-5/7/23 Start of Week --Week 7/Flower 1 -5/9/23 (Day 52/Flower 3) --Observations: large quaintly of three-point leaves, some nutrient burn --Changes: stopped giving Miracle-Gro nutrients, stared spraying with filtered water --Comments: the LST being use may be more stressful that originally thought, evident in the formation of several three-point shade leaves. some nutrient burn has started killing the tips of some shade leaves, stopped giving nutrients and stared spraying with filtered water. lemon balm is still small and not growing very fast, lemon basil is getting burst of growth and has a light lemon sent. -5/13/23 (Day 56/Flower 7) --Observations: starting to get clustered with leaves again, still not much stigma growth --Comments: can only see a few spots that were damaged by the nutrient burn now because of how clustered the shade leaves are getting. stigma have started forming but are not in abundance, also it is still hard to see the ones that did form. expecting growth of branches and stigma to boost within the next two weeks, still not going to remove anything until the end of week three flower. will start giving low doses of Build-a-Soil's Build-a-Bloom as a foliar spray sometime next week, may also give some in watering as well. -5/13/23 End of Week -Post Note: noticed that the amount of nutrients being given was not accurate, thought it was in tbs and not in tsb. amount of nutrient per gallon has been updated for this week and prior weeks and will be added correctly in future weeks.

Week 7 is over. They are more than ready for flowering. In 3-4 days I'll have free bloom tent and will transfer them there and flip to 12/12. Most of them are doing very good - slight VPD issues but will be corrected. Strawberry Cough still the biggest even after double topping and bending. Still looks weak-ish though. Stems and branches are very flexible comparing to other plants. Grandpa's Cookies #6 are a failure. I'll see but I probably will discard it. It's very underdeveloped - small, slender, willowy. Leaves are still weird - it didn't grow out of it.

We cut her early due to a block off in the autopot system.. but she was frosty as a mofo for being cut way to early and the taste was surprisingly very sweet with a piney/spicy kind off aroma and taste

Coming along nicely stacking up

_____📅 Week 13 | 6nd week flower | 📅 Day 92 - 98 | 12.04 - 18.04 ______ 18.04.25 | Day 91 🌞 🔸Chilled Cherry is developing great, it has produced a lot of trichomes and smells incredibly deliciously sweet, creamy, cherry-like. You can imagine what the smell in the tent is like together with the runtz...awesome 😍😍😍 🔸I pour 5 liters of nutrient solution into the bucket every 2 days. But at some point you have too many nutrients in the solution and you have to change your water. The small burnt leaf tips are exactly the result of this... changing the water too late and having too many nutrients in it...but this still looks hamless 🔸What can I say, I'm thrilled...She really got very little love from me, but still developed remarkably...The side light is doing its job, I wouldn't know how else to light this monster properly...I'm 100% sure I could have gotten a lot more out of this grow. But I'm glad that my first DWC grow is going so smoothly. 😊 🔸There are still at least 2-3 weeks to go...Lets goooo 😜👌 _____________________________________________________________________ 🌡️🔆= 25-26° 🌡️🌜= 18-19° 💨 Hum. = 58% 🔦 PPFD = 1000 umol 12/12 🔦⌚DLI = ~43 ___________________________________________________________________ Equipment: Veggie 💡2 x 200 Watt Cosmos LED 💡2 x Glow80 Spider-Farmer (4x40Watt) 💡1 x SF-600 Spider-Farmer ⛺120 x 120 x 200 Tent (4 x 4 x 8) 🍯 18-20 liter Bucktes

Arrosage plutôt léger cette semaine (tout les deux jours), après le sur arrosage et l'excès de nutriments de la semaine dernière elles se sont très bien remises. La dernière est toujours en retard, elle continue sa croissance donc pas d'inquiétude ! On entre dans une période de canicule (35/40°C) donc le climatiseur tourne à fond, j'arrive à limiter la température à 26/27 max et environ 24 de moyenne. L'humidité est un peu difficile à maîtriser malgres le déshumidificateur, en moyenne 57,7% mais il chauffe, donc il faut trouver le juste milieu. Pour le moment tout va bien, j'attends de voir la suite ☀️

Weeks are flying by, topped & took off 2 leaves

7/22 Did some light deflation nothing crazy Had turn on the dehumidifier humidity been getting to high besides that everything seems cool

So girls look amazing, A.N.Q. will be ready in time of a week for A.L.K. it is 3,5 week more to harvest. If you like my effort hit a button and start Follow Me !! :D

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 10 | Still Shining, Still Demanding, Still Amazing 💎🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Honestly... I'm starting to run out of different ways to say it. She keeps shining. Every week I come into the room expecting to find something that needs attention, something that needs correcting, something that gives me a reason to complain. And Black Diamond Pheno A keeps looking at me like: "I'm fine. Give me what I need and let me work." 😂💎 So that's exactly what we're doing. She demands. We deliver. She builds. We watch. And somehow, every week, she manages to look even more impressive. The flower formation. The colours. The trichomes. The overall maturity. Everything is moving in a direction I really like. She's not the biggest plant we've had in this 12/12-from-seed adventure, but she's definitely among the substantial ones. And when you look at what she's putting together... size isn't the first thing you notice anymore. You notice the flowers. You notice the colours. You notice the frost. You notice how far along she is becoming. And then you smile. Because this girl is doing something special. 💎 Still Shining Bright Last week we called her Beast Mode. I'm not sure I can take that name away from her yet. 😂 Because she's still operating in that mode. But this week, I think the better description is simply: She's shining. Not because she's demanding anything unusual. Not because she's causing problems. Actually, quite the opposite. She's basically telling us exactly what she wants... and then rewarding us for listening. Give her the environment. Give her the nutrition. Give her the light. Give her the water. Give her the room to develop. And she goes to work. That's the relationship I love having with a plant. We're not forcing her. We're not trying to make her become something she isn't. We're simply supporting what she's naturally doing. And what she's naturally doing is looking absolutely amazing. 🌸 The Flowers Are Getting Serious This is where my attention keeps going. The flower formation is becoming seriously impressive. The individual flowers are gaining definition. The structures are becoming denser. The pistils are developing through the flowers. And everything is beginning to look increasingly mature. We're getting to the point where I don't need to imagine what these flowers might become. They're already showing us. And there's a lot of them. That's one of the things I really appreciate about this phenotype. She isn't just putting everything into one location. She's using her structure. She's building throughout the plant. And as the weeks move forward, that distributed flower production becomes more and more impressive. ❄️ The Trichomes Are Doing Their Thing And then... there's the frost. 💎❄️ This girl continues to develop an increasingly beautiful resin-covered appearance. The trichomes are becoming more obvious. The flowers are getting that crystalline character. And when the light catches them just right... she really does shine. That's probably one of my favourite things about documenting her. You can look at the whole plant and see a beautiful flowering plant. Then you move the camera closer... and suddenly there's another world there. The individual resin heads. The sugar leaves. The pistils. The developing flower surfaces. All those little details that you simply cannot appreciate from across the room. Black Diamond is giving the macro camera plenty of reasons to stay busy. 📸💎 🎨 And Those Colours... The colours are another thing that really catches my attention this week. Her greens remain beautiful and vibrant, giving the plant that strong, healthy appearance we've been enjoying throughout the run. But alongside those greens, we're starting to see more of the colour development that comes with moving deeper into the flowering cycle. And together with the frost... it's a beautiful combination. Green. Colour. White resin. Developing flowers. It's becoming a seriously photogenic plant. And yes... I know I say that about several of the girls. But that's the point of having twelve different phenotypes in the room. They each find their own way to impress us. Black Diamond has chosen: "I'll do it with flowers, colour and frost." 😂💎 🌿 Big Enough to Make Herself Known At around 169 cm, she's certainly not a small plant. She's among the larger plants in this 12/12-from-seed room, or at least comfortably within the substantial group. But what I find interesting is that her size isn't what defines her anymore. When she was stretching and building her framework, height was part of her story. Now? The flowers have taken over the conversation. She's built enough structure. She's established enough height. Now she's putting that structure to work. And honestly... I like where she's going. 👑 She Knows What She Wants This phenotype has always had a certain confidence about her. She doesn't seem interested in asking permission. She just does her thing. And that hasn't changed. If she needs something, she lets us know. If she's happy, she gets on with growing. And when everything is aligned... she produces. That's what I mean when I say she keeps demanding whatever she wants and we keep delivering. It's not a difficult relationship. It's actually a very simple one. Listen to the plant. She's talking. 😂💚 ✂️ After the Cleanup Last week we gave her some selective defoliation. This week, I'm much more interested in watching how she continues from there. The plant still has plenty of foliage. She's still green. She's still carrying enough leaf mass to support herself. But we've given the structure some additional breathing room. And now the flowers are becoming even easier to appreciate. I like this stage. The plant isn't being stripped. She's simply been given a little more room to show us what she's building. And she's taking full advantage of it. 💡 Light From Above, Within & Below The lighting ecosystem remains one of the fascinating variables throughout the 8×8 Adventure. The primary overhead lighting continues driving the canopy, while the additional lighting throughout the lower and inner portions of the room gives us another dimension to observe. And with Black Diamond? There is plenty to observe. Her flowers are distributed throughout that structure, so seeing how those different levels develop as flowering progresses remains particularly interesting. I don't want to assume exactly what the lighting is doing to each individual flower. I'm much more interested in documenting the result. And right now... the result looks pretty damn good. 💎 💧 She Wants It, We Give It The feeding strategy remains consistent with the room. We're not creating a special recipe just for Black Diamond. She's part of the same overall nutritional program as the other plants. Current flowering nutrition remains: 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment products — as required The solution remains around pH 6.0 with an EC around 2.0 mS/cm. And apparently... she's happy with the arrangement. 😂💎 She asks. We provide. She builds. Everybody wins. 🌡️ Current Environment The current recorded conditions for Week 10 are: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 169 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h Once again, the environment remains consistent. And that's important. Because this entire project is built around giving the plants a shared environment and then watching how differently they express themselves. Same room. Same general conditions. Different genetics. Different personalities. Different results. And Black Diamond Pheno A is definitely giving us one of the more impressive results. 📸 The Camera Is Having Fun Again Looking through this week's photographs, I keep seeing the same thing. There's a lot going on. The wide shots show her overall scale and structure. The closer photographs reveal the flowers. And once we move into the detailed shots... the trichomes start taking over. That's what makes this stage so enjoyable. We're seeing the plant transition from a flowering plant into something that increasingly looks like it's approaching the more advanced stages of its journey. I'm not saying she's finished. Far from it. But she's clearly moving. And she's moving fast enough to get my attention. I know she's not a racehorse. 😂 She's a plant. But when you watch her progression from week to week, the pace of development is absolutely noticeable. And I like it. 💎 The Green Is Beautiful I don't want the frost and flowers to distract from something else I really like about this girl: her green. The foliage still has that beautiful, healthy appearance. The greens contrast beautifully against the developing flowers. And when the resin starts catching the light... the whole combination becomes something really special. Green leaves. Bright pistils. Developing colours. White frost. Dense flowers. That's Black Diamond right now. And she wears it very well. 🔥 She's Becoming a Heavyweight We're also starting to see the consequences of all that flower production. She's carrying weight. A lot of it. The structure that looked impressive earlier in the run now has a job to do. It has to support everything she's been building. And that's where the combination of good structure and sensible support becomes important. We're not trying to make her stand perfectly like a showroom plant. We're helping her carry what she created. Because honestly... I'd rather have the problem of supporting heavy flowers than the problem of wondering where all the flowers went. 😂💎 🧠 Another Lesson From the 8×8 Adventure Black Diamond is another reminder that plant size and production aren't always the same conversation. She's among the larger plants. But her flowers and resin are what make her stand out. And that's exactly why I don't want to judge these girls simply by height. One plant can be huge and express itself one way. Another can be smaller and absolutely cover itself in resin. Another can build enormous individual flowers. Another can distribute production throughout the canopy. And then you have Black Diamond... doing a little bit of everything. 😂💎 She's big enough. She's structured. She's loaded. She's colourful. She's frosty. And she's becoming increasingly mature. That's a pretty good combination. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now I'm getting genuinely curious about the next few chapters. We're entering an increasingly advanced stage of flowering. So my attention is going toward: 🌸 continued flower swelling ❄️ increasing resin development 🎨 colour progression 🌿 overall foliage health 💎 density and structure ⚖️ how much more weight those branches will carry 👀 overall maturity And I'm not going to try to predict exactly where she ends. We'll let her show us. That's the whole point. We observe. We document. We learn. And when she tells us she's ready for the next stage... we listen. 💎 Let Her Shine There are moments in a grow where you don't really need to say much. You just look at the plant. And you smile. That's where I am with Black Diamond Pheno A this week. She's beautiful. She's big. She's colourful. She's green. She's frosty. She's building flowers everywhere. And she's moving deeper into the flowering cycle with a confidence I really enjoy watching. She keeps demanding. We keep delivering. And she keeps rewarding us. Fair trade. 😂💚 So yes... let her shine. Because she deserves it. 💎 Black Diamond Is Still in Beast Mode Maybe that's the simplest conclusion. Last week: Beast Mode Activated. This week: Beast Mode Continues. 😂🔥💎 Nothing dramatic. Nothing complicated. Just a beautiful plant continuing to do what she has been doing from the beginning. Growing. Building. Developing. Frosting. Colouring. And slowly becoming more and more impressive. She's trying to steal the spotlight. And honestly... she's making a very good argument for it. 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful reminder of why the 8×8 Adventure has been such a fascinating experiment. Twelve plants. One room. One general environment. One 12/12-from-seed philosophy. And twelve completely different expressions. Black Diamond Pheno A continues to show us her own version. A substantial plant. Beautiful structure. Beautiful greens. Increasing colour. Amazing flower formation. And an increasingly impressive layer of frost. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for giving growers a place to document, share, learn and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics behind this beautiful Black Diamond Auto phenotype. 💜 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting this adventure. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for powering the main lighting environment. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the controlled environment behind the scenes. ✨ LumiFlora — for contributing the additional lighting that lets us explore what happens throughout the different levels of the canopy. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every bit of feedback. Every person stopping by to see what these twelve girls are doing. It means a lot. And Black Diamond? Well... she's still here. Still shining. Still demanding. Still building. Still getting frostier. Still getting heavier. And still trying to steal the spotlight from her sisters. 😂💎👑 This week, I think we can let her have it. Because she's earned it. The colours are beautiful. The greens are beautiful. The flowers are becoming seriously impressive. The trichomes are shining. And the whole plant is moving toward a more advanced stage of flowering that I really like watching. So let's keep doing what we've been doing. Keep listening. Keep delivering. Keep documenting. Keep photographing. And most importantly... let Black Diamond shine. 💎🔥🌿 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 💚🌱💎

Bisschen mit dem Düngen verkackt und der erste Grow mit neuem Zelt aber dafür ist es in Ordnung geworden

Woche 6 beginnt.
