Blütetag 80 | Tag 140 gesamt 🌡️ Klima & Umfeld Draußen wieder deutlich kühler – merkt man im Zelt direkt. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit liegt aktuell eher bei 55–60 %, entsprechend läuft die Abluft wieder deutlich aktiver. 👉 Insgesamt: kühl & feucht, aber noch stabil im Rahmen. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus Triangle Sherbet Kush 🍬 Optisch seit gut zwei Wochen eigentlich „durch“. Kaum noch frische Härchen, Blätter ziehen sich zurück – klassischer Endzustand. 👉 Aber: Trichome bleiben hartnäckig cloudy, Amber ist praktisch nicht vorhanden. Sie steht stabil, baut nicht mehr groß um – aber dieser letzte Reifeschritt kommt einfach nicht richtig. White Gushers 33 🍇 Hier passiert noch sichtbar was – aber sehr selektiv. Die Buds quellen weiter auf, aber: 👉 sie ist noch nicht komplett milchig, vereinzelt sind noch klare Trichome vorhanden. Neue Pistils kommen weiterhin – aber hauptsächlich an den Stellen, wo sie ins Foxtailing geht. 👉 Und genau das ist der Punkt: Sie war eigentlich schon mal „fertig“ – hat dann aber wieder angefangen weiterzuschieben. Dieses Foxtailing verzögert jetzt die eigentliche Endreife wieder, weil ständig neue, unreife Bereiche dazukommen. 👉 Der Großteil wirkt ready – aber einzelne Zonen ziehen das Ganze nach hinten. Und jetzt wird auch klar, wo der Name herkommt: 👉 sie wird erst jetzt richtig „white“. 👃 Geruch Süß, fruchtig, leicht cremig – dazu eine dezente würzige Basis. Kein brachiales Gas, sondern eher fein, rund und layered. Beim Öffnen kommt inzwischen auch ein leichter floraler Touch durch. ⏳ Reife & Timing Das eigentliche Thema bleibt: 👉 Kaum Amber auf beiden Pflanzen. Die Kush ist durch – aber ohne den letzten Reifeschritt. 👉 Die Gushers dagegen ist noch nicht mal komplett milchig und verzögert sich zusätzlich durch das Foxtailing. Das macht die Entscheidung nicht einfacher: Eine steht eigentlich schon zu lange, die andere zieht sich künstlich nach hinten. Kennt ihr das auch? Optisch fertig aber Trichome bleiben ewig cloudy kaum Amber, egal wie lange man wartet 👉 Wartet ihr weiter oder sagt ihr irgendwann: das ist ihr Peak? Schreibt mir das mal in die Kommentare, wie ihr das handhabt 👇 Oder wenn ihr eher fertig seid als ich – 👉 haut mal eure Tricks raus 😄 Vielleicht ist die Lösung ja auch ganz simpel: einfach früher anfangen… 🔜 Ausblick Ich lasse beide erstmal weiter laufen. Ich bin jetzt ein paar Tage weg – also kein tägliches Micromanagement und kein permanentes Checken der Trichome. 👉 Vielleicht ist genau das der Moment, wo sich endlich was tut. Einfach laufen lassen – und wenn ich zurückkomme, hat sich im besten Fall genau der Schritt gezeigt, auf den ich die ganze Zeit warte. Manchmal passiert mehr, wenn man einfach mal nichts macht. Grow on 🌱 🇬🇧 Flower Day 80 | Day 140 total 🌡️ Climate & Environment Temps dropped again outside – clearly noticeable in the tent. Humidity is around 55–60%, so the exhaust is working more actively again. 👉 Overall: cool & humid, but stable. 🌿 Plant Status Triangle Sherbet Kush 🍬 Looks finished for about two weeks now. No fresh pistils, fading leaves – classic end-stage look. 👉 But: trichomes remain mostly cloudy, almost no amber. Stable, but that final ripening step just won’t kick in. White Gushers 33 🍇 Still evolving – but very selectively. Buds are swelling further, but: 👉 not fully milky yet, still some clear trichomes present. New pistils are forming, mainly on foxtailing areas. 👉 That’s the key point: She already looked finished once – but then started pushing again. This foxtailing delays the final ripening, because new, immature parts keep forming. 👉 Most of the plant looks ready – but some areas keep pushing it back. And now the name finally makes sense: 👉 she’s only now turning properly “white”. 👃 Smell Sweet, fruity, slightly creamy with a subtle spicy base. Not overpowering gas – more refined and layered. Also getting a light floral note when opening the tent. ⏳ Ripeness & Timing Main issue: 👉 Still barely any amber. Kush is basically done – but missing the final step. 👉 Gushers is not even fully milky yet and is further delayed by foxtailing. That makes timing tricky: One is already overdue, the other keeps extending itself. Do you experience this too? Looks finished but trichomes stay cloudy almost no amber 👉 Do you wait longer or call it peak? Drop it in the comments how you handle this 👇 Or if you finish earlier than me – 👉 share your tricks 😄 Maybe the solution is simple: just start earlier… 🔜 Outlook I’ll let them run a bit longer. I’ll be away for a few days – so no micromanaging and no constant checking. 👉 Maybe that’s exactly what they need right now. Let them run – and hopefully that final step shows up while I’m gone. Sometimes less control means better results.😉 Grow on 🌱

Weiter geht's, die Blüten reifen ☺️ Die Blüten sind schön harzig und prall geworden, jetzt müssen sie nur noch weiter reifen. Diese Woche habe ich auch Untersetzer mit Automatischer Bewässerung ausprobiert und bin bis jetzt sehr zufrieden. Durch Schnüre, die im Wasser hängen können die Stoftöpfe das Wasser von unten aufnehmen und die Pflanzen haben gut was weggezogen. Bis jetzt sind die Trichome noch sehr hell aber sie kleben wie nichts gutes 😁

pre-flowering they still seem very loaded with nutrients in fact one has burnt tips so I am watering abundantly with only demineralized water when they drain they start to feed them. I removed all the supports, we wait for the flowers 😂

📚🌱 Grow Course – Lollipopping (Sweet Mandarine Skittles) 🍬🌈 With Sativa-dominant hybrids like Sweet Mandarine Skittles, you usually don’t need to lollipop too much ✂️. These plants naturally stretch and create a nice light distribution by themselves 🚀🌞. 👉 I only remove the lower shoots that stretched upwards but still don’t receive enough light. Stretching like that is a sign they’re chasing the light – and those can safely go 🌿. For bud sites that didn’t stretch, I focus on the very small flowers at the bottom: ⚖️ Rule of thumb → remove about 1/3 up to max 2/3 of the lowest nodes. This keeps the energy flowing into the top, more productive colas 🔥🌸. Healthy balance = more efficient growth and stronger buds 💚. 👉 Follow along for more grow lessons & weekly updates 🚀🌍.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 1 Flower | Grace in Every Stretch Some phenotypes command attention through explosive growth. Others quietly impress by doing everything right. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B belongs firmly in the second category. As she enters her first week of flowering, she continues to display remarkable balance, combining vigorous vertical growth with an elegant, open structure that allows every developing flower site to breathe and receive excellent light. While her sister has become one of the stars of the room, Pheno B is proving that consistency can be just as exciting. One of the greatest joys of growing multiple phenotypes is watching identical genetics express themselves in unique ways. Every plant in this project shares the same environment, nutrition, lighting, and training techniques, yet each develops its own architecture and personality. This grow also continues my favourite challenge: 12/12 From Seed. From the moment each seedling emerged, they have grown under a flowering light cycle, allowing every phenotype to reveal its natural strategy for stretch, structure, and flower production without an extended vegetative period. Week by week, Black Diamond Pheno B is proving just how well this technique can work. 🌱 Environment Another stable week inside the flowering room has allowed the plant to focus entirely on healthy development. 🌡️ 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 I've always believed that consistency wins over perfection. Stable temperatures, healthy root conditions, reliable irrigation, and continuous airflow allow the plant to dedicate its energy to growth rather than constantly adapting to changing environmental conditions. That stability continues to pay dividends. 🌿 Training & Canopy Management The training philosophy remains exactly the same. Gentle Low Stress Training continues shaping the canopy while regular leaf tucking helps expose developing flowering sites without removing healthy foliage. No defoliation has been necessary. Instead of taking leaves away, I simply reposition the larger fan leaves whenever they begin shading future bud sites. This keeps the canopy open while allowing every healthy leaf to continue acting as a solar panel, producing the energy the plant will soon need for building flowers. Sometimes the smallest adjustments create the biggest long-term results. 🌾 Feeding Program As flowering becomes established, the nutrition program continues supporting both the final stretch and the beginning of flower development. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom — supplying phosphorus and potassium as flower production accelerates. • Plagron Power Buds — supporting the hormonal transition into flowering and encouraging the formation of additional bud sites. • Plagron Sugar Royal — promoting terpene and resin development from the earliest flowering stages. • Plagron Pure Zym — improving nutrient availability by breaking down old organic material around the root zone. • Plagron Green Sensation — introducing a balanced flowering stimulant to support early bud formation while preparing the plant for the weeks ahead. The feeding program remains well balanced, with healthy dark-green foliage, vigorous growth, and no visible signs of nutrient stress. When a plant looks this comfortable, there's little reason to change what's already working. 💎 Phenotype Spotlight Black Diamond Pheno B has developed into one of the most elegant plants in the entire room. Now standing around 120 cm, she has become one of the tallest phenotypes in the project, stretching confidently while maintaining excellent structural balance. Her internodal spacing is slightly more open than some of the other plants, creating a naturally airy canopy that should become a real advantage later in flowering by improving both airflow and light penetration. Fresh white pistils are appearing across every branch, and flower sites are forming consistently from the lower nodes all the way to the main apex. Rather than rushing to produce dense flowers immediately, she seems focused on building a long, evenly spaced framework that promises multiple productive colas over the coming weeks. What stands out most is how effortless her growth appears. Despite her height, the stem remains thick and sturdy, the branches are well positioned, and every part of the plant feels balanced. She has responded beautifully to gentle LST, opening naturally without ever showing signs of stress. One thing has become increasingly clear throughout this project: Zamnesia's Black Diamond genetics are proving remarkably stable. Standing beside her sister, the similarities are impossible to ignore. Both phenotypes share outstanding vigor, beautiful structure, and excellent health, while still expressing enough individuality to make documenting each one worthwhile. Sometimes the best genetics don't create identical plants—they create consistently exceptional ones. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the flowering stretch to begin slowing as more energy shifts toward flower production. The small clusters already forming along every branch should start connecting together, gradually transforming this elegant framework into long, well-defined colas. Gentle leaf tucking will continue helping maintain an even canopy while preserving every healthy fan leaf that contributes to photosynthesis. If she continues developing at this pace, she's well on her way to becoming one of the standout performers in the room. The framework is complete. The roots are thriving. Now it's time for the flowers to take over. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these fantastic Black Diamond genetics, and to Plagron for the nutrient line that continues supporting every stage of this journey. I'd also like to thank the incredible GrowDiaries community for following these phenotype journals week after week. Your encouragement, questions, and shared passion are what make documenting each individual plant such a rewarding experience. Watching sisters grow side by side while expressing their own unique personalities is one of the greatest pleasures of every grow. Until next week... Growers love and Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Starting out week 7 the Auto Ultimate is really getting thick, I dont have a lot to compare it to but her buds are so much thicker and harder than the White Monster's The White Monster and Auto Ultimate both showed some problems on some of their leaves, mainly brown spots and yellowing. I checked the run off EC and pH and both seem fine and within range, my led lights were getting a bit close and most of the yellowing is on the areas closest to the light, so for now I assume light burn, I raised the light as high as possible and turned it down juuuuuust a bit. I will keep monitoring the plants as they progress through this week

day 1 - transplanted her into the end pot now. day 4 - i wanted to spray the soil before watering and i fucked up one leaf in the trigger system of the spray bottle :(((((((( day 5 - started LST training because in dont want to topp her and still stun her in height in the favor of the blue cheese and the trained critical day 6 - i removed the leaf wich i fucked up so the light can give more energy to the very nice promoteable branches that are supported by the LST also

Days 64 - 70 I just returned from my vacation, and I'm happy to report that the automated watering system worked flawlessly. Although I'm using water-soluble fertilizers, it seems the CalMag from BioBizz settled in the solution, preventing the plants from absorbing it properly, as we can see in the pictures. Aside from that, everything is going smoothly, and the girls are getting closer to their harvest day!
