The plants are looking really healthy. I’m still getting used to my new lights. I think I didn’t push enough light in week 2 of flower I’m ramping up the light intensity now. I had to whip out my par meter I was keeping the light to far off the plants. This light has to be closer to the plants than my mini sun. I’m lurking this light a lot I just need to get used to it

Growth Stage: Early Flower / Stretch Environment: Temperature: ~26 °C Humidity: ~60 % RH Light intensity: increased to ~850 PPFD. ☀️ Watering / Feeding: Watered every 2–3 days, based on pot weight, using RO water + CalMag. 💧 During this week, the plants received 1x BioTabs Bio PK. Observations: Stretch continued clearly during Week 5. Apricot #2 stretched even more and is now definitively the tallest plant in the tent. Apricot #1 stretched more moderately. To balance the canopy, #1 was placed on a crate so both plants now sit at roughly the same height. 🙂 The first pistils became clearly visible at the forming bud sites, marking the transition into proper flowering. 🌸 Both plants look vital and healthy overall. Leaf posture is mostly neutral, although #2 still shows slightly drooping tips, which remained stable. Notes: Week 5 represents the overlap between stretch and early bud initiation. With increased PPFD and the first Bio PK application, the plants are now fully entering the flowering phase. 🌱💪

Had a visitor this week. As I was watering my plants I noticed this red spot on one of the leaves... To my surprise it was a ladybug. I don't have aphids or nothing like that, and I don't have the slightest idea where this litle nugget came from.... Besides that all plants are doing OK, NL 1 is a litlle slower than the other ones and its just now starting to show first signs of flower. The other ones did that last week... The NL1 and MC started drinking and eating a lot. They go trough 700ml in a day and half. Upping the watering dosage this week so I can have more time between waterings. I like around 3 days.

Week 4 having no problems at all upping my temps by 2 degrees. 24 to 26 degrees.

Jusqu'ici tous va bien !!

happy Sunday to all of you, masters and novice growers Welcome back to Queen PEAKY's Gardens My God! This plant is literally invading the tent !!!! Perfect cycle and leaves that emanate and express all their joy.... I can only be happier with her .... Because I'm his mom!🌈😎📈🎉

Composition : • 1,2% (N) total • 0,4% (P205) • 0,8% (K20) • 49% de MO • C/N : 22,4 • PH : 7,3 Le charbon végétal actif est capable d’absorber jusqu’à cinq fois son poids propre en eau ainsi que les éléments nutritifs qui s’y trouvent. Il joue ainsi le rôle de catalyseur et d'amplificateur pour les fertilisants traditionnels, qu'ils soient d'origine organique ou minérale. Ce pourquoi il est idéal pour activer un sol et pour les thés de compost oxygénés. Le charbon végétal améliore la diffusion et la disponibilité des éléments nutritifs dans le sol et offre des conditions propices au développement des micro-organismes. Le Biochar peut être introduit dans une grande variété de sols. Il est particulièrement efficace dans les sols pauvres, difficiles et acides. Pour faire agir rapidement et efficacement sa capacité d’amendement, le charbon végétal est enrichi et biologiquement activé avec des micro-organismes. Le Biochar se comporte ainsi comme un structurateur et un activateur dans le but de valoriser les sols. Composition : • Charbon végétal actif 31% • Matière organique 33% • Matière sèche 75% • C/N : 17 • PH : 7,2 • Azote (N) : 2,1 % dont 1,2 % azote organique • Phosphore (P205) : 0,74% • Potassium (K20) : 1,18% • Calcium (Ca) : 6,8% • Magnésium (MgO) : 0,65% Le lombricompost apporte à la plante des éléments nutritifs tels que l'azote, le phosphore et le potassium, qui sont essentiels à sa croissance. En outre, il contient de nombreux oligo-éléments et micro-organismes qui peuvent être bénéfiques pour la plante. Le lombricompost a également une forte capacité de rétention d'eau et peut améliorer la structure du sol, ce qui peut être bénéfique pour les plantes. En utilisant du lombricompost, vous pouvez ainsi favoriser la croissance de vos plantes de manière naturelle et écologique. Le lombricompost est un fertilisant, amendement organique à la formule haut de gamme. Totalement naturel, il résulte de la digestion de fumier bovin et équin par des vers de terre. Les lombrics transforment ces déchets en un compost riche en nutriments et en micro-organismes bénéfiques pour les plantes. Le lombricompost présente une texture fine et friable, regorgeant de nutriments essentiels tels que l’azote, le phosphore, le potassium et d’autres micro-organismes bénéfiques pour les plantes. Son utilisation améliore la qualité du sol, favorise la croissance des plantes et contribue à la conservation de l’environnement en réduisant les déchets organiques. Le lombricompost est donc une source naturelle de nutriments et de matière organique pour les plantes, et peut être utilisé comme engrais ou comme amendement du sol. Il surpasse ainsi le compost, grâce au travail du lombric (E. Foetida) qui transforme le fumier en un super compost ! 10kg de fumier sont nécessaire pour obtenir 1kg de lombricompost.

PH : 8,4. Une zéolithe se comporte comme une « Super Argile » perméable qui retient l’Azote et les éléments minéraux nutritifs au voisinage des racines et les relâche lentement en fonction des besoins de la plante. Cela se traduit par une croissance constante mais rapide du végétal. La zéolithe permet de réduire à la fois le nombre d’arrosages et la consommation en fertilisants car ces derniers sont moins soumis aux effets du lessivage et de l’évaporation. Améliore durablement la fertilité foncière des sols. Peut s’utiliser en mélange à tous types de substrats. Récolte les surplus d’eau et réagit à la chaleur en suintant. Diffuse lentement les éléments minéraux nutritifs et l’azote retenus dans l’eau (évite l’acidification des sols. Riche en oligo-éléments, permet un développement racinaire soutenu. Retiens les pollutions des sols (nitrate, mercure). Se mélange à tous types de substrats et toutes les cultures. Idéal bonsaïs, plantes arides Accroit la capacité d’échange globale du « complexe argilo-humique ». Agit comme anti-mottant. Allège les sols lourds et bloquants trop argileux en améliorant le drainage et le ressuyage en surface. Volume poral de 47%. Améliore la structure des sols en s’opposant à l’acidification de ceux-ci par son effet tampon et par le retard de la nitrification de l’azote ammoniacal. Apporte des oligo-éléments. Augmente la résistance au piétinement. Diminue la fréquence des rempotages. Empêche le pourrissement des racines. Favorise la ramification. Modère le développement des mousses. Permet des économies d’eaux et d’engrais. Résiste au dessèchement et diminue la formation de « feutres ». Retient l’eau sans changement de volume. Sert de support aux microorganismes, ce qui contribue à la dégradation des déchets de coupes. Les zéolithes sont des roches cristallines, présentant des capacités d'adsorption particulièrement importantes vis à vis des polluants que l'on rencontre dans l'eau et dans certains liquides, ainsi que dans l'air et les gaz. Elles sont extrêmement poreuses comme les charbons activés et elles peuvent être chargées électriquement pour opérer comme des échangeurs d'ions. La zéolithe est un produit naturel qui respecte notre environnement. Utilisé dans le milieu industriel depuis de longues années déjà, ce minerai aux propriétés filtrantes particulières commence à se vulgariser dans le domaine de la piscine privée, de l'aquariophilie, des bassins d'agrément, de la récupération des eaux de pluie, ou encore de la culture des bonsaïs et autres plantations diverses par exemple... 4 points techniques majeurs : - Grâce à leur propriété hydrophile, les zéolithes peuvent adsorber l'eau jusqu'à 30% de leur poids total et sans aucune variation de volume : pas de gonflement en présence d'eau ni de craquement en cas de déshydratation comme certaines argiles. Les zéolithes sont d'ailleurs de puissants agents anti-mottant (anti-agglomérant). Cette propriété est très appréciée dans le cas des terrains de golf et autres aires de jeux. - Les zéolithes ne captent pas l'eau de façon irréversible, elles se comportent comme une réserve au voisinage des racines. Celles-ci peuvent capter l'eau en fonction de leur besoin. Les zéolithes permettent ainsi de réduire les besoins d'arrosage jusqu'à 35 %. - Une zéolithe se comporte comme une "Zone de Stockage" qui retient l'azote et les éléments minéraux nutritifs au voisinage des racines et les relâche lentement en fonction des besoins de la plante. Cela se traduit par une croissance harmonieuse mais rapide du végétal. - La capacité d'adsorption et l'énorme rapport surface/volume des zéolithes, vont permettre à la fois la rétention de la solution du sol et une bonne oxygénation au voisinage du système racinaire. Les zéolithes favorisent donc l'organisation biologique des sols en contribuant au développement de la micropopulation. L'apport en nutriments (N, P, K) est réduit de 20 à 25 %. Ces derniers, adsorbés par la zéolithe, sont beaucoup moins sensibles au lessivage et à l'évaporation.

Se connecte efficacement au système racinaire et forme un vaste réseau souterrain de filaments, qui agissent comme des extensions pour atteindre les nutriments et l’eau au-delà de la rhizosphère La bactérie Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens se fixe dans la rhizosphère en se nourrissant des exsudats racinaires. En contrepartie, elle stimule la croissance racinaire en sécrétant des métabolites de croissance et solubilise le phosphore en sécrétant des phytases (enzymes). Effet probiotique consistant en l’utilisation de micro-organismes bénéfiques pour la nutrition et la santé des plantes.

One week at a time they are growing nicely just waiting for them to bulk up I hope they get super fat 😁.

This amnesia pro has peformed amazing, both phenos #1 and #2 have produced beautiful hard dense colas, full of citric lemony terps, ideal to use for daytime, very nice cerebral buzz. Hope you guys have enjoyed my work! Peace 💚💛❤️👨‍🌾

💎 8×8 Adventure – Week 13 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Shining Bright Like a Diamond… Because Apparently One Main Cola Wasn't Enough 💎👑✨🌸 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And this week... Well... She's not getting any more humble. 😂💎 Quite the opposite. She's becoming more and more of exactly what her name suggests. BLACK DIAMOND. 💎👑✨ And for some reason, I have a song looping in my head: "Shining bright like a diamond..." 😂😂😂 I KNOW there's a song. And if there wasn't one before... there definitely should be. Because this girl? She's shining like one. 💎✨ She's beautiful. She's dense. She's frosty. She's loaded with flowers. She's got that beautiful main cola. She's got beautiful buds everywhere. And every time I look at her, I find myself smiling. She's one of those plants that doesn't need an introduction anymore. You walk into the room... you see her... and you know. "Yep. That's Black Diamond." 💎🌿👑 She's my precious little diamond coming out of the soil. And now we're watching that diamond continue to develop into something absolutely beautiful. One day she'll be harvested. One day she'll be dried. One day she'll be cured. And eventually... well... that beautiful diamond will become something we can actually enjoy. 😂💎🌸🔥 But we're not there yet. She's still building. She's still shining. She's still showing us what she can do. So let's give this girl the spotlight she deserves. Because honestly... she's fucking stunning. ──────────────────────── 💎 WEEK 13 – SHINING BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND Last week we were already talking about this girl becoming ridiculous. Well... Week 13 hasn't exactly brought her back down to earth. 😂 She's still doing it. Still growing. Still building. Still stacking. Still getting denser. Still getting frostier. Still filling those branches with beautiful flowers. And that main cola? Yeah... She's still there. Still demanding attention. Still standing proudly in the middle of everything. 😂👑🌸 But the funny thing is... the main cola isn't even the whole story anymore. Because you look at the main cola... and then you look around... and suddenly there are beautiful flowers everywhere. Everywhere. 😂💎🌸 At this point, I don't even know if "side cola" is the correct terminology anymore. Maybe we should call them: "Other impressive colas." 😂😂😂 Because this girl simply doesn't seem interested in having small supporting actors. Everybody gets a role. Everybody gets flowers. Everybody gets frost. Everybody gets their moment. And somehow... she still manages to make that main cola the star of the show. 💎👑 ──────────────────────── 🌟 SHE REALLY IS SHINING There's something about this girl that photographs don't completely explain. Yes... the photographs show the flowers. They show the density. They show the frost. They show the structure. But when you actually stand in front of her... there's something else. She has presence. She catches your eye. You look at one flower... then another... then another... and suddenly you're standing there smiling like an idiot. 😂😂😂 And that's exactly what happened to me. I walk into the room. I look at her. And there it is again. That damn song in my head. 😂🎶💎 "Shining bright like a diamond..." Well... yes. Exactly. She is. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE MAIN COLA DESERVES ITS OWN SPOTLIGHT Let's not forget about the star of the show. Her main cola. 💎🌸👑 She's beautiful. She's substantial. She's dense. She's getting more impressive as the weeks go by. And the best part is that she's surrounded by so many other beautiful flowering structures that the whole plant feels like one giant collection of flowers. This is no longer: "Look at the main cola." It's: "Look at the main cola." "Now look over there." "And there." "And there." 😂😂😂 It's like the plant is constantly saying: "You missed one." 👑🌿 And I keep finding more. That's what makes her so impressive. The main cola gets the crown... but the rest of the plant is absolutely not sitting quietly in the background. They're all contributing. They're all developing. They're all becoming dense. They're all getting that beautiful frosty appearance. And together? They make one hell of a plant. ──────────────────────── 💎 DENSE, FROSTY & FULL OF PERSONALITY The density continues to be one of my favourite things about this girl. She's not just producing a lot of flowers. She's producing substantial flowers. Dense. Compact. Full. And increasingly covered in that beautiful resinous sparkle. ❄️💎❄️ The closer you get... the more you see. From a distance: "Beautiful plant." Closer: "Beautiful flowers." Closer still: "Ohhhhh..." 😂🔬💎 That's where the frost starts talking. And she's got plenty to say. She's absolutely shining. The flowers catch the light. The resin catches the light. The whole plant seems to sparkle from different angles. And that's where the Black Diamond name becomes almost too appropriate. 💎👑 ──────────────────────── 👑 MY PRECIOUS DIAMOND I think I've officially become emotionally attached to this girl. 😂 She's mine. My precious diamond. 😂💎👑 Obviously, she belongs to Zamnesia genetically... but you know what I mean. After following a plant for thirteen weeks... watching her grow from the beginning... watching her structure develop... watching the flowers appear... watching the frost arrive... watching the colas become bigger and denser... you develop a relationship with the plant. You know her. You recognize her. And you start looking at her and thinking: "Look at you." 😂💚🌿 That's where I am with Black Diamond Pheno A. She's not just another plant in the 8×8 anymore. She's one of the personalities. One of the characters. One of the girls I walk past and stop to look at. And right now? She's looking absolutely beautiful. ──────────────────────── 💍 FROM SOIL TO DIAMOND And here's where my brain went this week. She's my little diamond coming out of the soil. 💎🌱 But diamonds don't just come out of the ground looking like a beautiful ring. There's a process. They get cut. They get polished. They get shaped. They become something beautiful. And that's the feeling I get when looking at this girl now. She's not finished. She's still in the soil. She's still developing. She's still becoming. But you can already see the potential. You can see the structure. You can see the density. You can see the frost. You can see the beauty. And eventually... after the rest of her journey... she'll become something completely different. Something we can appreciate in another way. 😂💎🌸 But for now? I'm perfectly happy admiring her exactly where she is. Still growing. Still shining. Still becoming. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM – HER OWN MASTERPIECE And once again... let's remember the foundation of this entire adventure. Same 8×8. Same general environment. Same 12/12 schedule. Same irrigation system. Same nutritional foundation. Same lighting philosophy. Same expanded lighting setup. And yet... look at what Black Diamond Pheno A has decided to become. 💎🌿 This is the part of the project that never gets boring. The room gives everybody the same general stage. But genetics write the individual story. The same photons arrive. Different plants interpret them differently. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some build enormous individual flowers. Some build lots of flowers. Some are slow. Some are fast. And this girl? She's apparently decided: "I'll take those photons... and I'll turn them into diamonds." 😂☀️💎 Fair enough, girl. I'm listening. ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE PHOTONS – MORE CAPABILITY The expanded Future of Grow lighting setup remains one of the big changes in this room. Those two additional Black Series 600W fixtures have given us considerably more lighting capability. But again... the point isn't simply to blast everything at maximum. We're controlling the output. Approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug With around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally varying according to plant height and position. And Black Diamond is clearly making use of that environment. She's building. She's stacking. She's becoming denser. She's developing those beautiful flowers. And she's shining. A huge thank you once again to Future of Grow for supplying those additional fixtures and allowing us to explore what this expanded setup could do inside the 8×8. More capability. More control. More photons. And twelve different responses. ☀️🌿💎 ──────────────────────── 📸 THIS GIRL IS A PHOTOGRAPHER'S DREAM I think I've reached the point where photographing her is almost unfair. 😂📸 Where do you start? The main cola? Yes. The side branches? Absolutely. The individual flowers? Of course. The frost? Definitely. The whole plant? 100%. And then you realize you've taken another ridiculous number of photographs because every angle looks different. 😂😂😂 Wide shot: "Wow." Closer: "Wow." Macro: "OH." 😂💎🔬 That's what I love about her. She has layers. The whole plant tells one story. The individual colas tell another. And the macro photographs tell another completely different one. That's exactly what I want from these diaries. Not just a weekly picture... but a weekly record of how the plant is changing. And this week? She's giving us plenty to document. ──────────────────────── 🌸 FLOWERS EVERYWHERE This is probably the simplest way I can describe her right now. Flowers. Everywhere. 😂🌸🌸🌸 Upper canopy? Flowers. Main cola? Flowers. Side branches? Flowers. Lower structures? Flowers. And then you move your eyes somewhere else... more flowers. 😂💎 She's filling her architecture beautifully. And that's why the overall plant has become so impressive. It's not dependent on one single giant flower. It's the combination of everything. The main cola. The secondary structures. The side branches. The density. The frost. The way everything is coming together. That's what makes Black Diamond Pheno A special to me. She's not just producing one impressive moment. She's creating an entire plant full of them. ──────────────────────── 💪 STRONG ENOUGH TO CARRY HER OWN CROWN And just like last week... I continue to love the strength of this plant. She's heavy. There's no question about that. 😂 But she's also strong. She's carrying all those flowers with a structure that looks remarkably confident. She's not constantly asking for help. She's simply standing there... looking beautiful... while carrying what she's built. And I really like that. Because the plant isn't only beautiful. She's substantial. She's got structure. She's got strength. She's got flowers. She's got frost. She's got personality. She's got the whole package. 💎👑🌿 That's a phenotype I enjoy following. ──────────────────────── 👀 THE GROWER'S JOB: WATCH And once again... I'm mostly watching. 😂 That's becoming the theme of these later weeks. The plant has already done most of the structural work. Now she's building. So I observe. I photograph. I check. I monitor. I appreciate. And if something needs attention... then we deal with it. Otherwise? Let her shine. 🌿💎 I don't need to constantly touch a beautiful plant just because I can. Sometimes the best thing we can do is simply give the plant the environment... and let the plant show us what she's capable of. And Black Diamond is showing us plenty. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ SAME NUTRITION – SAME FOUNDATION The nutritional programme remains consistent with the room's current flowering approach. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special was created specifically for this girl. She's part of the same room. Same general nutritional foundation. Same environment. Same lighting. And yet... her expression is completely her own. That's the experiment. That's the beauty of the 8×8. Same stage. Different performers. And Black Diamond? She's definitely performing. 😂💎👑 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 13 – ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h ? Pot size: 15 L Same room. Same framework. Different girl. Different expression. And another beautiful chapter of the 8×8 Adventure. ──────────────────────── 💎 SHE'S EVERYTHING A BLACK DIAMOND SHOULD BE If I had to describe her right now... I'd probably say: 💎 Beautiful 🌸 Dense ❄️ Frosty 👑 Strong 🌿 Substantial ✨ Shining 🔥 Impressive And maybe... 😂 "Absolutely not humble." Because she isn't. She's not hiding. She's not asking for permission. She's standing there saying: "Look at me." 😂👑💎 And you know what? I'm looking. ──────────────────────── 🎶 SHINING BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND And yes... that song is still in my head. 😂😂😂 "Shining bright like a diamond..." And now I've decided that it's officially her theme song. If you hear me walking around the grow room humming it... you know why. 😂🎶💎 Because honestly... the name fits. She catches the light. She sparkles. She has that beautiful resinous shine. And she has become one of those plants that immediately attracts your attention. She's a diamond. She's shining. And she's mine to document. 💎🌿👑 Well... you know what I mean. 😂 ──────────────────────── 🔬 THIS IS WHY PHENO HUNTING IS SO MUCH FUN Starting with a seed... you don't know exactly what you're going to get. You can have expectations. You can have experience. You can know the genetics. But eventually... the plant tells you who she is. And Black Diamond Pheno A has been telling us for weeks. She likes building substantial flowers. She likes density. She likes producing plenty of flowering structures. She likes making herself noticed. And she likes shining. 😂💎 That's her personality. And that's exactly what I want to document. Not just: "Here is Black Diamond." But: "Here is THIS Black Diamond." This particular phenotype. This particular expression. This particular story. And that's what makes the 8×8 Adventure so special. ──────────────────────── 🌟 MY DIAMOND FROM THE SOIL I think that's the line I want to remember from this week. My diamond from the soil. 💎🌱 She started as a seed. She became a plant. She developed branches. She created flowers. She started stacking. She became dense. She became frosty. And now... she's shining. That's a pretty beautiful journey. And we're still not at the end. There's still more to come. More development. More evolution. More observation. More photographs. And eventually... the final chapter. But we're not rushing it. She's still writing the story. And I'm happy to watch. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? More of the same... and hopefully even more beauty. 😂💎 We'll keep watching the flowers. We'll keep watching the density. We'll keep watching the frost. We'll keep watching the structure. We'll keep documenting the changes. And we'll let her decide when she's ready for the next chapter. No unnecessary rushing. No forcing the story. No pretending we know exactly what tomorrow looks like. We're simply watching. And right now? What we're watching is beautiful. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – SHINE ON, MY LITTLE DIAMOND Week 13. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. And honestly... what a fucking beautiful plant. 💎👑🌿🔥 She's not humble. She's not shy. She's not hiding. She's shining. Like a diamond. Like a star. Like whatever the hell that song is talking about... 😂🎶💎 She's got a beautiful main cola. She's got beautiful flowers everywhere. She's dense. She's frosty. She's strong. She's substantial. She's becoming more and more impressive every single week. And I absolutely love her. She's one of those plants that makes you stop. Makes you smile. Makes you take another photograph. Then another. Then another. 😂📸 And eventually you're standing there thinking: "Okay... I think we've got enough." And then you find another angle. 😂💎 That's Black Diamond. She's my precious diamond coming out of the soil. Still becoming. Still developing. Still shining. And one day... after her entire journey is complete... she'll be ready for the next transformation. Cut. Trimmed. Dried. Cured. Polished in her own way. And eventually... she'll become something very different from the plant standing in front of me today. But for now? She's still my beautiful diamond in the soil. 💎🌱👑 So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's admire that main cola. Let's admire all those beautiful flowers around her. Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the genetics. And let's keep watching. Because this girl? She's absolutely stunning. 💎✨🌸🌿🔥 Shine on, my precious Black Diamond. Keep doing what you do. And keep making me smile every time I walk into the room. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover and follow this absolutely beautiful phenotype. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room throughout this adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup inside the 8×8. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure continues to remind me why I love growing. Twelve plants. One shared environment. Different genetics. Different expressions. Different personalities. And Black Diamond Pheno A? She's giving us one hell of a story. 💎👑 She's strong. She's dense. She's frosty. She's beautiful. She's loaded with flowers. And apparently... she's got her own soundtrack. 😂🎶💎 "Shining bright like a diamond..." Yes. That's the one. I'm keeping it. 😂😂😂 So let's give my precious diamond the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's watch her continue to develop. Let's admire every beautiful flower. Let's appreciate the frost. And let's see what this girl decides to show us next. Because she isn't finished yet. She's still becoming. Still shining. Still growing. Still writing her story. 💎🌿👑🌸✨ Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where one Black Diamond continues to shine brighter than ever, the main cola still thinks she's the star, the side colas apparently refuse to accept supporting roles, and your DogDoctor is walking around the room humming a song that was apparently written specifically for this girl. 😂🎶💎👑 Shine bright, my precious diamond. Let her shine. 💎✨💚🌱

Week 8 started today. Things are looking very good! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: my new light JUST arrived!!! Man this thing is huge! It's a beautiful day to be alive, peace everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: the new light is installed and looks beautiful! Definitely going to need sunglasses from here on out,lol. ✌️🍀✌️

Primeira semana foi só meter a semente a germinar e passar para os vasos!

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 😂

SuperSativaSeedClub Purple Punch OG Auto So one out of the two got the chop this week and hung to dry. The other will be getting the chop this week as I'm just starting to see some amber on the trichs. The one that was chopped is super super sticky and smells really pungent. Definitely had more weight than I'd thought but hard to tell until we get a dry weight. All in all highly recommended strain and will definitely not be the last from them that'll grow. Especially if they turn out the way these two did. Trimmed up the second plant and yet again it really surprised me at how heavy the flowers are. I'd have to say for doing a little LST training, I didn't do anything to spectacular to get such an amazing outcome. The smell is super pungent and just as sticky as the first that was chopped. All in all Happy Growing

Jeah everything is going back to good with the plant. Its still very beautiful and I love it

I'm impressed with this C4 Auto, from fastbuds this is one of two plants I grew. This plant is a real indoor plant she grows lovely. The other plant is an outdoor plant it's pretty too don't get me wrong but where i thought the outdoors would produce a bigger plant i got the opposite of that, I got a Mutated plant, nice colored bud on here but she continues to mutate even in flowering stage my indoor plant is twice her height and size but love both my C4 Auto from fastbuds. Even if they broke my heart by changing payment policy, I'll never be able to get seeds from fastbuds again so I decided to spray my runt on the outdoors with tiresias mist feminized seed spray..... hopefully I get some pollen and able to pollinate my indoor C4 Auto..

Halli, Hallo, Hallöle liebe Growfreunde 🤗🤗, Heute ist BT 18 und ich habe heute mal entlaubt und ganz leicht gelollipoppt. Ich wollte nicht zuviel lollipoppen, da ich denke dass die Sanlight Lampen eine sehr gute Tiefenwirkung haben, vorallem weil die aüßeren schräg hängen und der Lichtstrahl sich quasi kreuzt. Die Entwicklung in dieser Woche war, genauso wie die letzten Wochen, sehr entspannt. Alles ist gut verlaufen und der stretch lässt sich jetzt auch endlich sehen. Die Gorilla Zkittlez ist leder nicht mehr viel gewachsen und die Sweet ZZ lässt auch zu wünschen übrig zwecks stretch, aber was solls, lecker ist es auf jedenfall

Check out the videos guys, she is flowering real good even tho we are not using any special nute like big bud for example, but i really want to try it soon, hopefully! Still she is doing great and im happy to have her! How are you doing growers whats up!? Dont forget to leave a comment Any suggestion is welcome! We are happy to learn new things alwas, Thanks for the support happy growing everybody Enjoy the footage thanks to Siriuz

Heute auf 12/12 Blüte umgestellt ... Mal schauen, wie beide stretchen ?

Hi, here is another week and the flowers are gaining volume nicely, for flower no. 2 I am not sure if I should feed for another week or if I should start the 14-day flush, flower no. 1 is about two weeks behind so I will fertilize everything this week, another week or two just Dragon force and then flush. Would you start flushing flower 2 already? I don't want to create another question. The trichomes are milky so far, no amber yet but the buds are overall with a brown tint so I think they will start to turn amber soon.
