Week 8 - Day 1 of Flower: flipped to 12/12 today. Also gave them about 4 gallons of water. The first two gallons was a Sprouted Seed Tea (SST), and the other two gallons was Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja as a wetting agent, then added Rootwise Enzyme Elixer, and Bio-Phos, BuildASoil Big 6, BuildABloom, Coconut Powder, Pure Protein Dry, Fermented Comfrey and Fermented Peach. 3/3/2023 - Day 5 Flower: made up a foliar spray of Tweetmint and warm water and spayed the plants at lights out for their weekly IPM. Also, they needed to be watered again. I made another SST and mixed in the same ingredients as the last watering, but I did not add the fermented Comfrey or Peach, but I added the Yah-Whey this time. Also, added some TeaCo Super Tea blend and some FishShit as well. Loaded the girls up for their stretch.

Last week of veg for these ladies. I wanted to get the most out of the bio line feeding and decided to improve the soilfoodweb on a organic way. I think worm castings are the best way to do so. So plagron helped me out and they send a bag my way. Fed them some bio enhancer and added a half liter of mega worm and mixed it into the soil. Defoliated a bit and will add the biobloom next week. Huge thanks to GreenhouseFeeding, Hortione and Plagron for the supportπŸ™πŸ”₯πŸ’š

🌿 **Green-O-Matic Grow Week 9 Update: Nearing Harvest Time!** 🌱 Greetings, fellow growers! It's time for an exciting update on the progress of our Green-O-Matic journey as we reach Week 9 of the grow cycle. With anticipation building and buds swelling, let's dive into the latest developments: 🌟 **Bountiful Bud Development**: At Week 9, our Green-O-Matic beauties are truly showing their potential, with buds swelling and resin production kicking into high gear. The once-small flowers have transformed into dense, frosty nuggets, promising a bountiful harvest in the near future. Trichome production is in full swing, indicating peak cannabinoid potency and aromatic complexity. πŸ“ **Final Stretch of Growth**: As we enter the final stretch of the flowering phase, our focus shifts to maximizing bud development while ensuring optimal ripening conditions. With careful attention to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and airflow, we aim to create the perfect microclimate for our plants to thrive and reach their full potential. πŸƒ **Leaf Senescence and Nutrient Management**: As expected in the late flowering stage, some leaves may begin to exhibit signs of senescence as the plant reallocates energy towards bud production. This natural process is perfectly normal and serves as a signal that the plant is nearing maturity. Meanwhile, our nutrient management strategy remains vigilant, providing the essential elements needed to support robust flowering without risking nutrient imbalances or deficiencies. πŸ” **Monitoring Trichome Maturity**: With harvest on the horizon, we're keeping a close eye on trichome development to determine the optimal time for harvest. Using a jeweler's loupe or digital microscope, we inspect trichomes for signs of maturity, aiming for a mix of cloudy and amber trichomes to achieve the desired balance of THC and CBD levels, as well as flavor and aroma profiles. 🌞 **Preparing for Harvest**: As we prepare for harvest day, our checklist includes gathering supplies such as trimming shears, drying racks, and storage containers, as well as ensuring a clean and sanitized workspace to maintain the integrity of our precious buds. Proper post-harvest care and curing techniques will be employed to preserve terpene profiles and enhance overall quality. In conclusion, Week 9 marks a pivotal moment in our Green-O-Matic grow journey, where patience and precision culminate in the imminent harvest of our prized buds. Stay tuned for the next update as we celebrate the culmination of months of dedicated cultivation with a bounty of premium-grade cannabis ready to be enjoyed and shared. Happy growing! 🌿✨ 🚫 **Addendum: Phenotype Bin Update** 🌱 In the spirit of transparency and continuous improvement, it's important to note that we've made the decision to bin one out of the three phenotypes due to poor development. Despite our best efforts and meticulous care, this particular phenotype failed to thrive and did not meet our quality standards. While it's always disappointing to part ways with a plant, this decision ensures that our resources and attention remain focused on nurturing the strongest and healthiest phenotypes to their fullest potential. By removing underperforming individuals, we can redirect our efforts towards optimizing the remaining plants for a successful harvest. Rest assured, this adjustment will not deter us from our commitment to excellence. We remain dedicated to the cultivation process, learning from each experience, and striving for the highest standards of quality and consistency in our cannabis cultivation journey. Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we navigate the complexities of plant development and refinement. Together, we'll continue to grow and evolve towards greater success in our cultivation endeavors. 🌿πŸ’ͺ

So now we’re in the first week of flowering, and I’m really happy with how things are going. The plants are constantly putting on more leaf mass, so I have to prune them every few days to remove the light-stealers and the small shoots that keep popping up. They take it all in stride and reward me by stretching nicely. πŸ˜„ The lights are now running at 60% power. My goal is to reach 80–90% during flowering weeks 5–6, and then gradually dial them back again for a nice fade. A very kind person sent me a few very special treats, so I already have some of the ingredients for the next run ready to go. But more on that once this one starts winding down. πŸ˜‰

πŸ’Ž Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 11 | When Every Cola Looks Like a Main Cola πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘πŸ”₯ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8Γ—8 Adventure! πŸŒ±πŸ’š Okay... I think Black Diamond Pheno A has officially reached the point where I don't even know which cola I'm supposed to call the main one anymore. πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž Because honestly... LOOK AT HER. Everywhere I look, there's another beautiful flower. Another tall, developed cola. Another structure that looks like it could have been the main top. And another reason to stop in front of this girl and just stare for a moment. She's big. She's beautiful. She's impressive. She's making herself noticed. And she's doing it without needing any special treatment compared with the rest of the room. Same room. Same environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutrition adjustments. Same 12/12 schedule. And yet... Black Diamond Pheno A has decided to interpret all of that in her own spectacular way. And I absolutely love it. πŸ’ŽπŸ”₯πŸ‘‘ ──────────────────────── πŸ’Ž EVERY COLA LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN COLA ──────────────────────── This is probably the easiest way for me to describe what I'm seeing this week. Every cola looks like a main cola. πŸ˜‚ Normally, when you look at a plant, your eyes naturally find the dominant top. You see the main structure. Then you look around at the side branches. With this girl? I'm having trouble deciding which one deserves the title. Because one catches my eye... Then another. Then another. And suddenly I'm standing there thinking: "Wait a minute..." "Isn't THAT supposed to be the main cola?" πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž She's built such a beautiful distribution of flowering structures that the entire canopy is becoming a collection of major players. And I love that. She's not relying on one star. She's created a whole team of them. πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘ ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE STILL MAKES HERSELF NOTICED ──────────────────────── Some plants quietly sit in the room. You walk past them. You appreciate them. Then you continue. Black Diamond? No. πŸ˜‚ She makes herself noticed. Every single time. She's one of those plants where your eyes naturally go toward her. Part of it is the size. Part of it is the structure. Part of it is the amount of flowering she's carrying. And part of it is simply... she has presence. She's big. She's substantial. She's developed. And now that the flowers are becoming increasingly dominant throughout the structure, her personality is becoming even stronger. She's not asking for attention. She's simply impossible to ignore. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏπŸ‘‘ ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE TAKING OVER THE CONVERSATION ──────────────────────── Earlier in the run, we talked a lot about structure. Then we talked about flower formation. Then resin. Then colour. Then weight. Now? The flowers are basically taking over the entire conversation. πŸ˜‚πŸŒΈ They're everywhere. And they're becoming increasingly substantial. The beautiful thing about this phenotype is how consistently she has built throughout her structure. She didn't create one impressive top and leave everything else behind. She's built a whole network of flowering sites. And now those sites are developing into substantial colas. Which brings us back to the problem... How exactly do I choose the main cola? πŸ˜‚ I don't think I can. So let's just call them all main colas. Problem solved. πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘ ──────────────────────── πŸ”₯ A CANOPY FULL OF MAIN COLAS ──────────────────────── There is something incredibly satisfying about seeing this kind of development. You look across the plant... and instead of seeing one obvious dominant flower surrounded by smaller ones... you see a whole collection of developed flowering structures. That's what catches my eye with Black Diamond right now. The canopy has depth. The flowers have presence. The branches have purpose. And the whole plant looks like it's putting every part of that structure to work. She's not wasting much space. She's filling it. And she's doing it beautifully. πŸŒΈπŸŒΏπŸ’Ž ──────────────────────── πŸ’‘ SAME ROOM. SAME UPGRADES. HER OWN EXPRESSION. ──────────────────────── And once again, this is where the 8Γ—8 Adventure gets really interesting. We're not changing the rules for Black Diamond. She's sharing the same room as everybody else. The same overall environmental strategy. The same irrigation system. The same nutritional program. The same 12/12 lighting schedule. And now... the same upgraded lighting setup. We've added the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. After seeing the initial PPFD was higher than we wanted, we've brought the fixtures down to around: πŸ’‘ ~59% power from the plug with approximately: β˜€οΈ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally less depending on canopy height and position. Black Diamond is receiving those photons just like the rest of the room. But look at what she's doing with them. She's building. She's stacking. She's developing. She's turning those photons into an entire army of main-cola-looking structures. πŸ˜‚πŸ’ŽπŸ”₯ ──────────────────────── β˜€οΈ MORE PHOTONS. MORE POSSIBILITY. ──────────────────────── I really like what the lighting upgrade has brought to the room. Not because we're trying to force the plants to do something. Quite the opposite. It's about having the capability. We're not running the fixtures flat out just because we can. We're controlling the output. We're finding the level that makes sense for the room. And then we let the plants respond. Black Diamond is certainly responding. She's looking strong. She's looking substantial. And she's continuing to develop beautifully. The artificial sun is there. The photons are there. The plant decides what to do with them. And this girl has apparently decided: "Flowers." Lots of them. πŸ˜‚πŸ’ŽπŸŒΈ ──────────────────────── 🌱 LET THE PLANT DO THE WORK ──────────────────────── This is something I keep appreciating more and more as the run progresses. At this stage... we don't need to be constantly interfering. The framework is established. The plant knows what it's doing. The flowers are developing. And our job becomes much more about observation than intervention. Keep the environment stable. Keep the irrigation consistent. Keep the nutrition appropriate. Keep the air moving. Keep the lights where they need to be. And watch. That's it. Black Diamond doesn't need us to tell her how to grow. She's already made that decision. πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž She's just doing what she does. And she's doing it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌿 BIG, BEAUTIFUL & COMPLETELY HERSELF ──────────────────────── At around 169 cm, Black Diamond Pheno A remains one of the substantial girls in this room. She's big. But again... her height isn't what impresses me most anymore. It's what she's doing with that height. The structure. The branches. The flower distribution. The number of developed colas. The way the entire plant seems to have become a flowering machine. That's what makes her special. She's not tall just for the sake of being tall. She's using that architecture. And she's filling it. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΈπŸ’š ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL THERE ──────────────────────── And of course... we can't talk about Black Diamond without talking about the frost. β„οΈπŸ’Ž The resin-covered surfaces continue to give her that beautiful crystalline appearance. Get closer... and the story changes again. The flowers aren't just flowers. They're texture. They're resin. They're pistils. They're tiny details. They're little landscapes. And when the light catches everything correctly... she really does shine. Which is probably why the name Black Diamond continues to feel so appropriate. She has that combination of darkness, colour, structure and sparkle that makes her incredibly photogenic. πŸ“ΈπŸ’Žβ„οΈ ──────────────────────── 🎨 COLOUR + GREEN + FROST ──────────────────────── Another thing I really appreciate is the combination of colours we're seeing. The green foliage. The developing flower colours. The bright pistils. The white frost. All of it coming together across such a large plant. It creates a really beautiful contrast. And because she has so many flowering structures, there isn't just one place where you see it. It's happening throughout the plant. Everywhere. Another cola. Another angle. Another little section that catches the eye. This girl is basically giving the camera a full-time job. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ ──────────────────────── πŸ“Έ THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S PROBLEM ──────────────────────── Black Diamond is becoming one of those plants where taking photographs becomes a problem. Not because she's difficult to photograph. Because there are too many good things to photograph. πŸ˜‚ You take the wide shot. "Okay, beautiful." Then you move closer. "Oh, that's a nice cola." Then you see another one. "Wait, this one is even better." Then another. And another. And suddenly... you've been standing there for half an hour. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸ’Ž That's the fun of this stage. The plant has so much going on that every perspective tells a slightly different story. ──────────────────────── πŸ’Ž THE BLACK DIAMOND PERSONALITY ──────────────────────── By now, I think we know who this girl is. She's not shy. She's not trying to hide. She's not trying to be the smallest girl in the room. She's substantial. She's demanding. She's productive. She's beautiful. And she's very comfortable taking up space. πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž She's one of those phenotypes that makes you stop and think: "Okay..." "I see you." And then you walk away... only to turn around and look again. πŸ˜‚ ──────────────────────── βš—οΈ NUTRITION – THE ROOM MOVES TOGETHER ──────────────────────── Just like the rest of the room, we've made the flowering nutrition adjustment. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L βš—οΈ pH adjustment as required Current solution parameters are around: βš—οΈ pH – ~6.02 ⚑ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special just for Black Diamond. Same general nutritional strategy. Same room. Same philosophy. And she's responding beautifully. Which is exactly what we want to see. ──────────────────────── 🌑️ WEEK 11 ENVIRONMENT ──────────────────────── The room continues around: 🌑️ Day temperature: ~26.5Β°C πŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26Β°C πŸ’§ RH: ~61% βš—οΈ pH: ~6.02 ⚑ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm πŸ’¦ Nutrient solution: ~25Β°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25Β°C πŸ’¨ COβ‚‚: ~693 ppm πŸ’‘ Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L πŸ’§ Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same room. And Black Diamond continues to show us her own interpretation of it. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏ ──────────────────────── 🌸 WHEN EVERY COLA LOOKS IMPORTANT ──────────────────────── This is probably what I'll remember most about this week. Every cola looks important. There's no obvious: "Okay, THIS is the main one." Because so many of them have developed enough structure to demand attention. They're all standing there like: "Pick me." πŸ˜‚ And I'm like: "I can't." So... you're all main colas. Everybody wins. πŸ‘‘πŸŒΈπŸ‘‘πŸŒΈπŸ‘‘πŸŒΈ ──────────────────────── SAME GENETIC ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES ──────────────────────── This is also another beautiful reminder of what this whole project is about. We have so many different cultivars and phenotypes sharing the same ecosystem. Some are smaller. Some are taller. Some are faster. Some are slower. Some are extremely compact. Some stretch. Some become incredibly frosty. Some build huge individual flowers. And Black Diamond? She's building a whole army of colas. πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž That's the part I love. We provide the environment. Genetics provide the personality. And then we watch the story unfold. ──────────────────────── πŸ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? ──────────────────────── At this point, I'm not looking for something to fix. I'm looking at development. 🌸 How much more will these colas build? ❄️ How much more resin will develop? πŸ’Ž How much more weight will those structures carry? 🌿 How will the foliage continue to evolve? πŸ“Έ How many more photographs am I going to take? πŸ˜‚ The questions are becoming more about watching the plant mature than trying to change anything. And that's a really enjoyable place to be. She's healthy. She's beautiful. She's developing. So... let her work. ──────────────────────── πŸ‘‘ SHE DESERVES THE SPOTLIGHT ──────────────────────── Sometimes a plant earns the spotlight because something unusual happens. Sometimes because she has a special colour. Sometimes because she suddenly explodes with flowers. And sometimes... she simply keeps being amazing. That's Black Diamond Pheno A this week. She's not necessarily doing something completely different from last week. She's simply continuing to be excellent. And sometimes... that's more than enough. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏπŸ‘‘ ──────────────────────── πŸ’­ FINAL THOUGHTS – STILL SHINING ──────────────────────── Week 11. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. And honestly... what can I say? She's still beautiful. She's still big. She's still making herself noticed. She's still developing. She's still covered in beautiful flowers. She's still carrying more and more structure. And now... I'm looking at a plant where practically every cola looks like it could be the main cola. πŸ˜‚πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘ I absolutely love it. She's doing exactly what she wants. We're doing exactly what we need to do. The room is stable. The lighting has been upgraded. The nutrition has been adjusted. The photons are flying. And she's doing the rest. That's the beauty of this stage. We don't need to force the story. We just need to document it. And Black Diamond is giving us a hell of a story. πŸ’ŽπŸ”₯🌿 ──────────────────────── πŸ™ THANK YOU ──────────────────────── Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful girl showing us exactly why the 8Γ—8 Adventure has been so much fun. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these journeys, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us this incredible phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore what this expanded lighting setup can do. πŸ’‘πŸ’š Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate those deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8Γ—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. πŸ’š And Black Diamond? This week... you absolutely deserve the spotlight. πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘πŸ”₯ You're big. You're beautiful. You're frosty. You're stacking. You're developing. You're filling your structure with flowers. And somehow... you've reached the point where every cola looks like a main cola. πŸ˜‚πŸ’ŽπŸŒΈ So let's not overthink it. Let's let her shine. Let's let her keep building. Let's keep the photons flying. Let's keep watching. And let's see what this beautiful girl decides to show us next. Because one thing is certain... Black Diamond Pheno A is not interested in being a background character. She's making herself noticed. And honestly? I'm very happy to give her the spotlight. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏπŸ‘‘πŸ”₯ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! πŸ’šπŸŒ± See you next week in the 8Γ—8 jungle... where the crowns are temporary, the genetics keep surprising us, and apparently... every cola on Black Diamond wants to be the main cola. πŸ˜‚πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘πŸŒΈ

She smells kind of Citriusy but I can definitely smell the blueberries and she’s loaded with resin n trichomes and still have at least 4 more weeks to go! Can’t wait till she swells up, already looking pretty good. Terpenator is really making a difference this run! Everything is a lot more frosty and smelly 😎

Day 60 Not happy with the buds. They are to small in my opinion and I don’t know how to improve on that problem. I have decided to flush with water and measure the runoff ppm because I think I was overfeeding Day 64 Don’t know why the leaves turn yellow, gave them a bit more nitrogen & cal-mag color was a bit better yesterday but today they start turning yellow again

Week from 3/07 to 9/07 Big things, mainly repotting in a new 100L pot mixing with: β€’40L Coco Coir, ph 6 β€’60L Evergreen TS Golf, which is for lawns, ph 7 I didn’t really care to buy new soil, so I used lawn soil, composed of: -Irish moss peat (turf) -Silica -Manure All good things that help growth anyways Also added 50g of Mycorrhizae which isn't hardly enough but it’s better than nothing

Smoke report! 10/10/20 tastes are tropical with a citrus hint and pine! Also tastes like it has some gas on it too can feel the power in every blast! Feels like euphoric a lot of day dream happy thoughts great for music and day smoke puts you in the best of moods! Not much to say on a negative as it tastes so good your mouth waters lol but could say makes you very very sleepy 😴 thank you for popping by check out them tones and fades 😍 Was amazing to grow! Ran into no problems along the way she literally just grew and grew! She showed her beauty from early and was shining through colours of purple/red even on the leaves! And her smell β€œoh my” is exclusive like sherbet and citrus and fruit and candy! I’ll add more photos after cure and also a smoke report! Want to allow this to cure about 2 weeks before I even try her!

Que pasa familia, estamos otra vez actualizando la quinta semana de floraciΓ³n, y es que ya van cogiendo unos colores que ya van apeteciendo y todo, el aroma se noto esta semana la sala estΓ‘ llenΓ‘ndose de un aroma bastante dulzΓ³n. Quite ya el big bud y empecΓ© aportar un poco de overdrive asΓ­ se van acostumbrando, y tengo que aΓ±adirles algo de Pk que tendrΓ© por el cajΓ³n esta semana que viene sin fallo lo aΓ±ado. El ph estΓ‘ siendo controlado y ahora mismo estΓ‘ regulado a 6.5 yo creo que es buen ph para que la planta absorba el Maximo de nutrientes, hasta aquΓ­ es todo nada nuevo sin problemas con este proyecto. Buenos humos πŸ’¨πŸ’¨
