This new week started better as with some flushes I brought the runoff back to 6.5/7, the plant seems to be growing well

Week 10 day 65, the main cola Is getting fatter Day 67, Sorry the video Is really confusing but i have literally no space to move Day 70, end of week 10 starting tommorow gonna give her 18/6 so She can grow some nice and big buds 💚

Que pasa familia, vamos con la primera semana de floracion de estas Rainbow Melon feminizada de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros. Tenían algo de shock por el trasplante pero ya fue solucionado. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

The shortest plant of them all. She'll be easy to keep from getting to close to the lights. 😁 Healthy growth. I topped every bud site on every plant, both indoors & outdoors.

Both seeds were planted on the same day, however, one is growing faster which leaves me to assume that's a male which I am very much happy for…time will tell.

29.03.21 hab heute die ersten weissen terpene entdecken können vorblüte is in gange. Biegen und binden wird immer mehr stand heut fast eine Stunde vorm Zelt bis ich einigermaßen mit der Positionierung zufrieden war. Ist ein ziemliches wuchs monster bis zu 5 cm am Tag die jeden neuen Tag runter gebogen werden wollen mal schauen was Woche Nr.2 so bringt..... 30.03.21 biegen und binden ich werd irre davon...... 32.01.21 hab heut wieder Luft unterm Netz gemacht hier und da Blätter entfernt Ach ja und nicht zu vergessen der biegen und binden horror.... 01.04.21 hab mir heute weichen pflanzen Draht besorgt um die einzelnen Seiten und Hauptbestände besser fixieren zu können damit sie auch da bleiben wo ich sie haben will die Pflanze wächst ziemlich rasant ich Weiss langsam garnicht mehr wohin mit den ganzen Ästen. Hab mich heute dazu entschieden kein Vita race mehr zu Sprühen obwohl laut Hersteller bis Ende der dritten blüte Woche 1x wöchentlich gesprüht werden kann, hab Schiss mir die Blüten Geschmacks massig zu versauen...... 02.04.21 das Wachstum ist enorm Habe heute 2 1/2h Arbeit investiert in biegen und binden. Ich hoffe das sich die ganze Arbeit am Ende lohnt und ich mit schönen klebrigen nuggetz belohnt werde... 03.04.21 hab heute das ganze einfach mal laufen lassen wollte eigendlich heute giessen da die Ladys gut durstig sind hab aber heute verpennt und dann noch der ganze feiertags Kram hab somit das Gießen auf morgen verschoben die Ladys werden es sicher überleben..... 04.03.21 hab heute ein bißchen die Blätter unters netzt gebogen und gegossen sieht gut aus soweit bin zufrieden für die 2te Woche....

Day 56: I gave 1.5L of clear water to the royal gorilla auto. Day 59: I gave 1.5L of water to the glue gelato auto. I also checked the trichomes, on both plants they are translucents, I'll wait some of them to turn amber. It was predicted a grow of 65 to 70 days from germination to harvest and it did not lie. I might harvest next sunday (day 65) but I hope it can wait until the next tuesday so both plants would have at least 14 days of clear water. Day 60: I gave 1.5L of water to the royal gorilla auto.

My only regret is not mainling all. Everything is growing great still got couple few weeks left. But the difference in bud growth is still my topic cause there really no other issues. Buds from the bottom to the top of the mainline ones are all basically the same size. All on the same growth rate. I know due to shape and open canopy yada yada.. Fimmed, the canopy is more bushy. I mean I can see the bottom from the top, I know that's one of the main rules.. But just the leaf growth is different too... So of course buds on bottom still gonna be more popcorny. I still defoliate a little every few days.. Nothing crazy, just wanna irritate her a little. So going forward I'll only do one fimmed with my grows the rest mainlined..Just to get an idea how each one reacts to both grow techniques but still get my weight.

La planta crece rapido, ya se realizo el primer corte apical el proximo paso a va a ser realizar un entrenamiento por LST para empezar a desarrollar hacia los costados para comenzar a desarrollar la superficie del Scrog. Ademas se agrego un ventilador para fomentar el desarrollo del tallo y la fortaleza de ramificaciones. Por otro lado ya se observa que las raices llegaron a la base de la maceta, por ahora va creciendo muy bien esta genetica.

Hi, the plants are dry, they weigh a total of 38g clean and it smells of babolgame and lemon and from the scraps or made dry shift hash

This week the plants got very bushy and wide. Stopped using Root Juice and Used Recharge microbes for the first time one day out of the week. LST also began this week. I noticed separate issues on two of the plants on their 21st day; the girl on the right showed some yellow color in some of the tips of the new growth at the top of the plant, while the girl in the middle had low hanging leaf tips which look burned / discolored. I think I might be over-watering. I'll confirm all of their soil is completely dry with my a moisture meter before watering next time.

So this was one of the runts. Smells great, decent quality, but super low yield. The nose is great! Has a wonderful bubble gum aroma!

Plant is doing OK? for 21 days? I am a little unsure because she is simply not stretching but growing good on the side notes. After some discussion on /r/Mephheads I came to the conclusion that I will try to lower the DLI so that the plant stretches because for now there are way to many nodes way to close together. Received my predator mites and added them (the pouch). Increased EC at the end of the week with Universol (high in P) and added some water to the reservoir. Heatwave is coming so next week will be hot in the tent, no way around that. Values are average of the day.

Hello my fellow growers I hope you are all having a wonderful holidays and a wonderful day in general! Anyways I have been very busy recently so I couldn’t post a weekly update but I will be posting some more pictures later this week as I will be manipulating the plant a bit more to maximize my cola potential but beyond that nothing much is happening just watering her on the Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule and letting her grow!

The number of points on a cannabis leaf is primarily influenced by genetics, the plant's maturity, and environmental factors. Grape Guava is an Indica Hybrid. Hmmmm Genetics: The plant's genetics are the most important factor in determining the potential number of leaflets. Sativa-dominant strains are more likely to develop leaves with a high number of leaflets, sometimes producing 13 or more. In contrast, indica strains typically have fewer, broader leaflets, usually between 5 and 9. Maturity: A cannabis plant's leaves gain more leaflets as it matures. Seedling stage: The first true leaves after the initial cotyledons emerge with a single leaflet, followed by sets with 3, then 5. Vegetative growth: Healthy, mature plants will consistently produce leaves with 7 to 9 leaflets, though 11 or 13 is possible. Fast growth: A mature plant growing quickly in ideal conditions with plenty of light and proper nutrients is more likely to show a higher number of leaflets. Environmental conditions: Optimal growing conditions can push a plant to express its genetic potential for more leaflets. High light: A fast-growing plant with ample light is more likely to develop leaves with 9, 11, or 13 leaflets. Stress: Environmental stresses, such as unusual lighting schedules, can sometimes cause mature plants to produce leaves with fewer leaflets than normal. Blue light causes stomata, the pores on plant leaves, to open by activating a signaling pathway within the guard cells. This process involves phototropin photoreceptors, which initiate plasma membrane H+-ATPase activation, pumping protons out of the cells. This creates an electrical potential that drives potassium (K+) uptake, causing guard cells to swell and the stomatal pore to open, allowing gas exchange. Foliars applied in strong blue 430nm with 4000hz tone. 20min dose prior to application. In essence, you're seeing a combination of the infrared light reflected by the plant, which the camera perceives as red, and any residual visible blue light the plant reflects, which results in a purple hue.

This week don't listen to none of the info I just wanted to post pictures, videos

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 9 | Beast Mode Activated 💎🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Okay... I think we're officially allowed to say it now. This girl is a beast. Not just a beast. One of the bestiest in the room. Is bestiest a real word? Probably not. Do I care? Absolutely not. 😂💎 Because Black Diamond Auto Pheno A has entered another level of flower development, and every time I look at her, I find myself thinking the same thing: What the hell are you building? She's big. She's loaded. She's stacking flowers everywhere. And now she's getting cleaned up a little because even a beast needs a little grooming. Let's make her shine. Because she absolutely deserves the spotlight. 🌱 One Room. Twelve Personalities. For anyone discovering the diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is about something I absolutely love about growing: genetics reveal themselves when you give them the opportunity. Twelve different plants. One room. One general environment. One 12/12-from-seed approach. The same lighting strategy. The same nutritional program. The same irrigation philosophy. The same grower. And yet... completely different plants. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some build huge central flowers. Some spread themselves across the canopy. And then there's Black Diamond Pheno A. She seems to have decided: "Why choose?" Tall? Yes. Branchy? Yes. Flower everywhere? Yes. Big flowers? Yes. Lower flowers developing properly? Apparently yes. And now... beast mode. 💎🔥 💎 The Beast Is Still Building At around 169 cm, she remains one of the larger plants in the room. But by now, her height isn't what catches my attention first. It's the amount of flower she's carrying. This girl has continued doing exactly what she showed us last week: building substantial flowering structures throughout the plant. The central flower is impressive. But then you look down the branches... and there's another one. And another. And another. This is what makes her so fascinating. She's not simply relying on one enormous top flower. She's distributing her production throughout her architecture. And some of those lower flowers are becoming seriously substantial. The word "popcorn" is becoming increasingly difficult to justify when the flowers down there are starting to look like proper little colas themselves. 😂 ✂️ Even the Beast Needed a Cleanup This week, we did give her a little attention. We defoliated her. Not because she was unhealthy. Not because she was desperately asking to be stripped. And certainly not because I suddenly believe every plant needs the same treatment. It's because we're growing in a full room. That's an important distinction. If Black Diamond were growing completely by herself, I might have left considerably more of that beautiful foliage exactly where it was. But she isn't alone. She's sharing the room. She's sharing the available space. She's sharing the airflow. She's sharing the light. And when a plant becomes this dense, sometimes you have to make some decisions based on the entire ecosystem rather than the individual plant alone. So we opened her up. We removed selected leaves. We created a little more breathing room. We cleaned some areas that had become crowded. And honestly? She looks fantastic. 🍃 Goodbye to Some Beautiful Leaves And this is the part that always makes me hesitate. Because there were some beautiful leaves in there. Healthy. Large. Green. Perfectly capable of doing their job. But sometimes even a beautiful leaf has reached the point where removing it makes sense for the overall structure. There were also a few older leaves that were naturally ready to come out. So this wasn't about removing foliage for the sake of removing foliage. It was about looking at the plant as she exists today and deciding: Where does this leaf still contribute most? And where is it simply adding another layer of congestion? That's the kind of defoliation I like. Selective. Purposeful. And respectful of the plant. We're not trying to turn a Black Diamond into a skeleton. We're simply giving the beast a little room to breathe. 👀 A Few Little Imperfections And while we're showing the beautiful side of this girl, I also want to document the little imperfections. There are a few minor burned tips and some small spots appearing on some leaves. Nothing that takes away from the overall picture. The plant remains outstanding. But I'm keeping an eye on them. Could it be related to the intensity of the feeding? Could some of the damage be associated with environmental or mechanical stress, including airflow? There isn't enough evidence from the photographs alone for me to confidently blame one specific cause. And that's okay. Sometimes the correct answer in a diary is: "I'm watching it." That's exactly where I am with this. The important thing is the overall plant. And overall? She's absolutely crushing it. 💎🌿 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming Serious The flower development is probably the most exciting part of this week's update. The flowers are getting increasingly established. Calyxes are stacking. Pistils are still showing prominently. The structure is becoming denser. And the resin coverage is becoming increasingly visible. Those close-up photographs really show the progression. This isn't early flower anymore. We're watching flowers become flowers. The architecture we've been observing for weeks is now turning into something much more substantial. And because there are so many flowering sites distributed throughout this plant, every week makes the overall picture more impressive. The central cola is beautiful. But honestly... I keep getting distracted by everything else. 😂 ❄️ And That Frost... Another thing that continues to catch my eye is the increasing frost. The sugar leaves are becoming visibly coated. The developing flowers are carrying more and more resin. And the whole plant is starting to take on that increasingly frosty appearance that makes you want to get the macro lens out immediately. This is one of those stages where the plant seems to change almost every time you photograph her. One week you notice the flower structure. The next week you notice the resin. Then suddenly you realize the flowers have become considerably larger. That's why documenting these plants week after week is so much fun. You don't just see the final result. You get to see the transformation. 💡 Light From Above and Below And Black Diamond remains a fascinating plant for observing the relationship between canopy structure and light distribution. The main Future of Grow lighting provides the primary illumination from above. And the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting gives us another layer of illumination lower in the plant. With a phenotype like this, that becomes particularly interesting. Because there are flowers everywhere. Not just at the top. Not just around the main stem. Throughout the branches. And after the selective defoliation, we've opened some additional space through the canopy. So now I'm even more curious to see how those different levels continue developing as flowering progresses. We're not trying to predict the result. We're watching it happen. That's the experiment. 💧 Feeding the Beast The nutritional strategy remains consistent with the flowering program. Current feeding: 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L The nutrient solution is maintained around pH 6.0, with the recorded EC around 2.0 mS/cm. Watering remains around 1.3 L per plant per 24 hours. And looking at this girl... she certainly isn't complaining about having something to eat. 😂💎 The important part remains consistency. The same nutritional strategy is being used across the experiment. Black Diamond simply happens to be one of the phenotypes making particularly good use of the opportunity. 🌡️ The Environment Current conditions for this update: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 169 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h The room stays consistent. The plant keeps changing. And that contrast is exactly what makes the phenotype experiment so interesting. 📸 This Week's Gallery The photographs this week tell a beautiful story. The wider shots show just how much this girl has developed. The flowers are distributed throughout her structure, and even after the cleanup, she remains incredibly full. The close-ups are where things get really interesting. You can see the flower structure becoming more defined. You can see the increasing resin coverage. You can see the fresh pistils. You can see the calyxes stacking. And then you notice those little imperfections. A couple of tips. A few spots. Nothing dramatic. Just part of the plant's story. And I actually like documenting that. Because a real grow isn't a catalogue photograph. Plants aren't manufactured. They're alive. They respond. They adapt. They occasionally complain. And sometimes they simply say: "I'm going to be amazing anyway." 😂💎 💎 Beast Mode I think this is officially the right name for her current chapter. Beast Mode. Because she's not just large. She's not just flowering. She's not just producing a nice central cola. She's building an entire network of substantial flowers. She's filling her vertical structure. She's developing frost. She's carrying an enormous amount of plant material. And even after getting cleaned up... she still looks like a beast. One of the bestiest beasts in the room. There. I said it again. 😂💎🌿 🧠 What She Keeps Teaching Me Black Diamond Pheno A has been one of those plants that repeatedly reminds me not to underestimate what genetics can do. From the beginning, she didn't need much manipulation. She developed her own architecture. She distributed flowers throughout the plant. She maintained a strong, lush canopy. And now she's showing us what that architecture can become as flowering progresses. The lesson isn't: "Do exactly what I did." The lesson is: Watch the plant. Understand the structure. Understand the environment. Understand the room. And then make decisions based on what is actually happening. That's what I love about this project. The plants are constantly giving us information. We just have to pay attention. 🔮 Looking Ahead We're moving deeper into the flowering cycle now, and this is where I'm going to be watching several things very closely. 🌸 Flower swelling ❄️ Resin development 🌿 Overall canopy health 💎 Development of the lower flowers 🍃 Response to the selective defoliation 👀 Those minor leaf imperfections 🌱 Overall plant maturity The most exciting question remains: How much more can those flowers build? Because if the current trajectory continues... we could be looking at something very impressive. And I absolutely want to see where this beast takes us. 💎 Let the Beast Shine There are plants that you grow. There are plants that you admire. And then there are plants that make you stop in front of the tent and just stare for a minute. Black Diamond Pheno A is becoming one of those. She's big. She's powerful. She's loaded with flowers. She's getting frostier. She's developing beautifully. And yes... she needed a little cleanup. We removed some beautiful leaves. We removed some older leaves. We opened some space. We gave her a little more breathing room. And she's still standing there looking at me like: "Was that all?" 😂💎 Yes, girl. That was all. Now keep doing your thing. Because you're doing it exceptionally well. 💚 Final Thoughts Week 9 has given us another chapter in the story of this incredible phenotype. Black Diamond Pheno A continues to show why phenotype hunting is so fascinating. She's not simply growing. She's expressing. She's developing her own architecture. Her own flower distribution. Her own personality. And now we're watching that personality turn into serious flower production. A few minor imperfections don't change the bigger picture. They're simply something to observe. Because overall... she's outstanding. She's one of the strongest personalities in this room. One of the most impressive plants to photograph. And definitely one of the ones I'm most curious to see at the finish line. So let's not overcomplicate it. Let's give her what she needs. Let's keep watching. Let's keep learning. And most importantly... let's make this beast shine. 💎🔥🌿 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure week after week. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys and learn from one another. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics that gave us this incredible Black Diamond phenotype. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the plants throughout this adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for providing the main lighting driving the room. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into the experiment and giving us another dimension to observe. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you for following, commenting, asking questions and sharing this adventure with me. Every plant has a story. Every phenotype has a personality. And Black Diamond Pheno A? She's writing hers in capital letters. 💎 BEAST MODE. One of the bestiest in the room. 😂💚 Let's make her shine. Growers Love! 💚🌿💎

Day 3 - not much training needed.. SO3 is a giant. Smaller buds than the other 2. Lollipopping needed

Well as the days go on she is looking fabulous with a strong aroma.Such a pretty plant her flowers are just loaded with trichomes.Light intensity is still set at 80 percent on the se 7000 and just giving water for this last week.Her trichomes are cloudy still with some clear so let her go a bit longer.
