Day 64: unquestionably in flower. Added one gallon of pH 6.5 water with nutrients. Day 65: No picture. Day 66: yikes! Left her in the dark for 24 hours. Forgot to turn the light back on after day 64's Glamour shots. On the opposite side, the damaged branch is upright. Perhaps it won't be lost. Day 67: looking thirsty. Added one gallon of water with early flower nutrients. One leaf has holes in it (not pictured). Will have to watch for pests. Day 68: Man this plant is thirsty. I don't want root rot so I will wait one more day for watering. One leaf has odd holes in it. It is directly in the path of the fan so I wonder if it is related to that. Day 69: added one gallon of ph6.0 water no nutrients Day 70: Nothing remarkable to report

08.06.26 Hubbabubba Haze bleibt die kleinste auf dem Balkon, die ich mit Ungeduld beobachte. Nach einem anstrengenden Start bei hohen Temperaturen beschleunigt sich das Wachstum nun sichtbar und meine Sorge, das mein Substrat für Automatiks (und Haze) überladen ist scheint unbegründet. Bereits in diesem frühen Stadium zeigen sich Ansätze von Seitentriebe und die Sämlinge wirken insgesamt vital. Wahrscheinlich wird es in zwei Wochen soweit sein, das die automatische Bewässerung, welche alle Pflanzen versorgt installiert werden kann. Aktuell ist der Wasser Bedarf noch zu gering gegenüber den fast viermal so großen photoperiodischen Pflanzen.

Very happy with the end result all three plants look pretty big. Hard to believe this little 325watt light powered these beasts! Plants are fading and looking nice.... about another week until harvest!

49 days!!! it looks really cool, its flowers are starting to bloom a little, you can already see the "sugar leaves" :) this week was quite rainy, but there were 3 days that were really cool, it only got as much sun as possible on my balcony :) 6.3 ph water, with biobizz gave it what it wants :) good luck to everyone :).

Se inicia nueva semana del 26 - 1 se aprecia buen crecimiento pronto estará lista para poda y transplante.

Trimmed weight is about 30grams. Early stress stunted growth. Super fast flowering strain and the smell is super lemony. The color is a very nice dark purple. While inspecting trichomes for ripeness you can see the purple color bleeding into the heads trichomes which looked super cool under the scope

8/15 Yesterday the girls finally got some sun. They're flowering. Like crazy. I do need to do an application of BT once this rain stops. It just started up again. Went back over and things were dry. I decided to hold off watering until tomorrow when I feed. 8/16 Watered the 50 2 gallons, 10 1 gallon, and the rest about 1.5 gallons. I fed a pint to the ten, 2.5 pints to the 30 and 2.5 pints to the FIMMed bluecheese that looked hungry. This way I can tell if they can handle larger doses. I'd like to keep it as small and simple as possible. Gave me a fright this morning when a sheriff pulled in while I was feeding. He was on his way to a neighbors but it looked like he was just admiring things lol. I'm all legals there's no problem there. I put off spraying BT last night because dad had a couple ppl drinking and I didnt want to interact with them. Plus it was to early. The sun hadn't crested the barn yet. At least now u know what time to go spray. I'm finding some lady bugs and I killed my FIRST aphid of the season. I still have caterpillar holes in some leaves though so I might as well hit them with the BT (even though I actively hunt them). No one ever said growing cannabis is easy. Oh and my soil must be BANGING because I found some mushrooms growing in it and like a mycelium web which is awesome. 8/17 This was a quick morning due to an upcoming doctor's appointment. Removed some grass that had grown on the tar from spilt soil as it had diseases on it. I don't want that spreading to my plants. I have one blueberry cheese that I FIMed with four cola's that doesn't have as many leaves and has dropped a few leaves but looking at ot from the other side it doesnt look as open. I know that these girls are transitioning and this is the time I lose leaves. However some plants still seem totally green with no problems despite flowering. I'm wondering if it's a specific phenome thing. I also noticed that the caterpillars are still there and this morning would've been a great time to apply BT but I didn't have time and since I upped the feed I didnt want to do two things at once and have a problem and not know what it is. 8/18 Rained overnight. Plants were soaked. It's not raining now. Plants are definitely overwatered. I'm losing a few more leaves that are yellowing on the bottom interior of a couple plants. Some of it could be from the transition to flower ir the large amount of rain we've been getting. At least my drainage is really good. I need to pull the fence out and co soder cutting a pallet I. Half to better utilize space. I know I say this stuff all the time and I'm not sure it NEEDS to be done. What DOES need to be done sooner rather than later is to apply BT. I can see the damage from them. It's not bad but I want to avoid botrytis as much as possible so those pillars have got to go. Otherwise I've never had plants this healthy and it's been a real ahotty season. Boy those 10th planet's are all mice and green and healthy looking. I'm really looking forward to flowering these strains and see what they can do. I'm already greatly impressed with what I've experienced so far. UPDATE: Wasn't raining earlier then it Rained off and on but just a light steady rain that plants love but it's 3:30 now and it's pouring. Guess I won't be applying BT tonight. We need some sunshine but unfortunately I can't control the weather. Just sitting here thinking I was wondering about using Plant Doctor preventatively just due to the steady rain but I noticed mushrooms growing in my soil and since I haven't not9ced any type of fungal problem I'll revisit that idea another time. Polycarbonate roof or even some form clear plastic and a rough frame of pvc or extra lumber. Theoretically I believe I could move them all indoors for a little bit if need be but that would he a huge pain in the ass. Honestly I've got great drainage and my watering seems pretty good so I might be alright doing nothing. We shall see knock on wood. 8/19 Plants were soaked this A.M. I took a video and uploaded it (which takes forever). It's sunny though today and after the sun comes out after a period of rain the plants grow like crazy. Everything is flowering nicely. I think I can go to the end of October. I talked to a lady today that said she'd already harvested some of her peanut butter breath clones. It's my buddies mom and if you look back at one of my diaries NY mendo breath was done in September. These girls have a ways to go but the are explosively flowering which is good. It's easy to tell which strain is which. Pheno's vary but the flowers on the plants are easy to distinguish from one another. I've also never had plants stay this healthy green this long! Previously I'd have multiple pests, wpm and maybe septoria at this point. I think I've upped my game. Knock on wood. My worst problem now is worrying when to spray BT for the miner caterpillar problem. I have wasps, lady bugs and a shit ton of birds from the 3 bird feeders. I see them dart in and out of my cage. Chances are I'll spray BT tonight and take some pictures if it's nice out. 8/20 The sun is finally out. Bags are still heavy. Looks like it Rained again. I found caterpillar shit so I REALLY need to get that BT applied. I also saw minor damage to a budsite on a low hanging branch. Looks like those fucking earwigs bur I'm probably being paranoid. I also had to remove the rope that I was using to support "the big cheese" because with all this wind and rain it "rubbed" against the stem and caused an injury. I don't need that now anyway with the trellis up. Bids are developing rapidly and stacking up nicely. I have a couple plants that aren't as green as the others bit it may be do to all the rain we've been getting. I think I need to increase the volume of liquid i give my plants when I feed. Next feed I'll be doing at LEAST a quart. Due to my w8fes illness I haven't been able to spend as much time there as I should. No fungal stuff "YET". I have seen some leaves that show the plants have been over watered. Drainage is good though. I forgot to upload the video from this morning and it's uploading super slow so I'm gonna have to upload it tomorrow 8/21 Awesome. Went to town and left without going to my doctors appointment. Good job man. 👏 ANYWAY....My phone was dead when I went to town so I coukd only upload one video. I'll have to do the others later. I mixed up a batch of bt 1 tablespoon with half gallon of water (as that's what this hand mister holds. I went around the cage and sprayed every angle. Then I went to each individual plant and sprayed while spreaking the branches to make sure I got the interior. I used almost the entire half gallon so I'm hoping this will help. Bags were heavy but doesn't take them long to dry out. I'm wondering if the yellowing that is moving up (on the small purple punch and the one in the tote) is because they need more nutes, they're transitioning to flower and really stacking up or because they've been over watered with all this rain. Opinions are more than welcome. I'll check the girls tonight and if the are wet enough I'll feed and at a higher volume. If they aren't ill wait till they get their full water. MY WIFE WAS HAVING AN "MEDICAL PROBLEM AND SO ON THE WAY TO THE DOCTORS I CHECKED THE PLANTS. THE 10TH PKAMETS WRRE DROOPING. I QUICKLY MIXED UP ENOUGH TO FEED EVERYTHING AT LEAST A GALLON AND THEN GAVE THE ONES THAT WERE THE WORST LIKE AN EXTRA HALF GALLON. JUST ENOUGH TILL WE GET OUT OF THE ER THEN I'LL GIVE THEM THE OTHER HALF OF WATER AND ILL FEED THEM. AT LEAST MY WIFE IS OK. UPDATE: Took my wife to the hospital. They did a shit ton of nothing which is par for the course. However, luckily for me (yeah right) I got back early enough to give the plants another half gallon of water each and then I fed increasing the volume to 2.5 pints (upping the big bloom to 3 tsps per gallon) but I ran out of feed on the last plant. I only mixed up two gallons and it was super dark so thar one container plant will need to be fed tomorrow I guess. This is masterofsmeagal signing off to fucking FINALLY get stoned!

Never used it . Bug on site.

Last day of week 5 today. Got a great start to some frosty tops. Seeing some.purple leaves coming in. My wife's shower music played a key roll in this video. These 2 Minnesota strains from Mad Shark Genetix , Taste of Minnesota on left, Blueberry Winter on the right, are doing very well and I have enjoyed growing these 2. 4 more weeks ish to go. Added a P boost and Recharge to this weeks feeding. Let's put on some weight baby!!! NFSOT

Our Zamnesia Georgia Pie #1 is almost ready. I harvested one of her taller, slightly disproportionate little sisters without the aid of any techniques. This one was mainfolded and is very balanced and regular. The flowers are firm and resinous, not very large in the cluster style of any genetic, which doesn't mean it requires less attention; these flowers are usually very heavy. I'm using a 20-liter airpot. Techniques chosen: the plant was topped with 16 toppings, and almost everything seems in place. We're 100% organic and 1000% Plagron, as always. The soil we've chosen is the recently released Plagron Bio LightMix, which will allow us to get off to a good start. Now, however, we're at the end of the day, so let's wash the soil to reuse it with a flush, which everyone says is useless lately. I love washing the soil anyway, and I listen to the debate from a distance. There are too many fake debunkers and bad advisors these days. Gain experience and listen above all to her. Choose your favorite style and calculate your results on the website: www.plagron.com Our new 720W Spider King lamp from Vanguard Hydroponics is now at 80% power. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/531-growshop I can almost hear Ray Charles singing... Georgiaaa, try it. Z - https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11085-zamnesia-georgia-pie-semi.html Z - Spice up your grow with this delicious US hybrid. Originally developed in San Francisco, Zamnesia breeders worked hard to trace and stabilize the Gelatti x Kush Mints genetic line that gave rise to the original Georgia Pie. The result? A 50/50 indica/sativa hybrid that grows beautifully both indoors and outdoors, quickly producing dense buds with deliciously sweet terpenes and a powerful effect. Combining the genetics of two fantastic parent strains (Gelatti and Kush Mints), Georgia Pie is both productive and easy to grow. During the vegetative stage, plants grow vigorously, developing moderately spaced internodes and fairly broad fan leaves. Expect noticeable stretch during the transition to flowering: mature plants can reach 130 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors, with numerous side branches that will develop large buds. Thanks to its exuberant leaf growth, Georgia Pie responds very well to regular pruning, defoliation, and training. These interventions will open up the plant's canopy, exposing even the lowest buds to light. Indoors, Georgia Pie typically requires 8-10 weeks of flowering to produce up to 500 g/m², while outdoors, plants are generally ready for harvest around mid-October, producing up to 500 g/plant. You know it, but I recommend it: here you will find so many wonderful things, practically "all the best that nature has to offer."

Free Hack Small Growbox TimeLaps optionFor sure its gonna be last week of watermelon. My wife is looking closely to trichomes. we all ready have some amber Seguramente que es ultima semana de floracion. Mi mujer se mira muy cerca los trichomes para decidir cuando la cortamos hay algo de amber, pero falta un poco mas

Unfortunately GrowDiaries is still acting a little funny with harvest updates, so this report is being uploaded under a normal flowering week again. But make no mistake — this is harvest time. Week 14 from seed, and these girls were ready. 🌱✂️ And honestly… what a beautiful journey this has been. Before talking about harvest itself, I think this is the perfect moment for a quick recap of how these Amnesia Skunks reached this point. This entire run was done The Zamnesia Way — simple, intentional, and plant-led. 12/12 from seed. No traditional veg phase. Very little touching. Almost no manipulation besides some gentle leaf tucking and selective support when needed. No chasing perfection. No fighting the plant. No forcing structure. Just attention, observation, environment, light, airflow, nutrition, and letting the plants grow naturally into the PPFD instead of forcing them into it. And somehow, through simplicity, these girls rewarded us beautifully. Not the tallest plants. Not the biggest yield monsters. But wow… these buds came out incredibly dense, compact, greasy, and aromatic. The structure on these flowers was honestly beautiful to watch during trimming. Thick stems, heavy branching, dense internals… almost like processing little pieces of timber instead of flowers. You can clearly see where the density comes from when looking at the branch structure itself. By Week 14, the signs were all there: fading leaves, slowed drinking, fully swollen flowers, strong aroma, mature trichomes, and that overall feeling the plant gives you when she says: “I’m ready.” So harvest day arrived. ✂️ Some plants were dried whole. Some were broken down branch by branch. And in reality, the dry room became a mix of both methods depending on available space and plant structure. The drying process itself is one of the most important and misunderstood parts of cultivation. A proper dry is not just about removing water. It’s about preserving terpenes, slowing degradation, protecting cannabinoids, and allowing the flower to transition gently instead of crashing into dryness. These girls dried for around 7–10 days. Temperatures stayed mostly around 18–20°C, while humidity stayed close to 60% RH overall. During the first couple of days, humidity was intentionally lowered closer to 45% to help remove the initial surface moisture and reduce the chance of trapped humidity inside these very dense flowers. After that initial phase, the environment stabilized and the flowers were allowed to slow dry properly. One of the simplest indicators we use is the branch “click.” Not a complete snap. Not bending like rubber. But that soft internal click that tells you the outside has dried enough while the inside still contains life and moisture ready for curing. That’s when trimming begins. And for this run, everything was hand trimmed. Scissors. Trim bins. Patience. Love. Care. Every single bud handled individually. Machine trimming is fast, but hand trimming preserves shape, resin heads, bag appeal, and overall flower integrity in a completely different way. Especially with flowers like these, covered in resin and packed tightly, hand trimming allows you to keep the flower looking and feeling natural instead of shaved down or damaged. And underneath the trim bin… the gold. ✨ What many people call waste is actually one of the most beautiful rewards of trimming carefully. All the tiny broken trichome heads, loose resin, micro sugar leaf coverage and fallen gland heads collect naturally at the bottom of the trim bin during the trimming process. That’s what I like to call “trim bin gold.” Not full-melt hash but almost. Not static sift. Not dry sift. But a beautiful natural resin-rich collection straight from handling properly dried flowers. And honestly… these girls gave A LOT of it. One of the resin balls alone came out around 0.7g after simple hand rolling from collected trim-bin resin, while the second plant also produced a very respectable amount even without bothering to weigh it properly. Sticky. Aromatic. Potent. A true pleasure after long trimming sessions. 😄 After trimming, the flowers were transferred into glass jars and also into the Zamnesia vacuum curing containers. And these containers honestly deserve a quick explanation because they are actually very useful for curing. Unlike normal storage, vacuum containers help reduce excess oxygen exposure around the flower while still allowing proper curing conditions inside. Less oxygen means slower terpene degradation, slower oxidation, and better long-term aroma preservation when used correctly. The flowers are now curing slowly and properly for over a month before the final smoke report arrives. And yes… there will absolutely be a full follow-up report very soon. That next report will focus much more on: the cured flower, aroma development, smoke quality, effects, terpene profile, how the cure evolved, and a full reflection on everything we did — and did not do — during this run. Because sometimes what you choose NOT to do matters just as much as what you do. As for final dry numbers after trimming and curing: 57.2g 116.3g 33.8g 85.2g So together, both Amnesia Skunks gave you a final dry/cured/manicured total of 292.5 grams And honestly? For two relatively compact 12/12-from-seed plants with minimal intervention… I’m more than happy. But numbers never tell the whole story. The smell. The density. The stickiness. The trim-bin resin. The beauty of the flowers themselves. That’s the real reward. And before closing this harvest chapter, I truly want to thank everybody involved in this journey. The GrowDiaries platform. The entire community. The longtime followers and OGs. The new followers discovering the page for the first time. The curious ones. The silent ones. The skeptics. The lovers. The haters.

hi to all, masters and beginners! welcome to a new week of cultivation with the peaky queen let's cook these flowers a little more to make sure they have more powerful effects and to make the lower part develop well stay up to date!! we will begin by removing some of the excess nutrients in the soil and then giving only water on the next round 😎👽

natural lighting just before harvest

Here we go into flower. If what they say is true, we're in for a nice color show.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 8 | She's Everywhere Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! And this week, I have to admit something... I have absolutely no idea where this girl is going. And I love it. 😂💚 Black Diamond Pheno A has officially reached the point where I stop trying to predict what she's going to become and simply enjoy watching her do it. Every week I think I've figured out her structure. Then she does something else. This week? She's building main-cola-sized flowers everywhere. Not just one dominant central cola. Not a huge top surrounded by little side flowers. I'm talking about substantial flowering structures developing all the way down the plant, with some of the lower flowers already starting to resemble little baseballs. And the craziest part? There is almost no popcorn. She's simply turning branch after branch into proper flowering sites. This Black Diamond is something special. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Every plant in this project is being grown under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from seed. There is no traditional vegetative period. No extended growth phase. No special treatment for individual phenotypes. Every plant receives the same environment, the same lighting strategy, the same feeding philosophy and the same general care. The genetics are the variable. And that's exactly what makes this experiment so fascinating. When twelve plants are given essentially the same conditions and one of them decides to become a completely different creature... that's the phenotype talking. And Black Diamond Pheno A certainly has something to say. 💎 She's Building Colas Everywhere Last week I described this plant as tall, elegant and balanced. This week? I'm starting to think "balanced" isn't quite enough anymore. At 169 cm, she has developed an incredible vertical structure with flowering sites distributed throughout the plant. But what really catches my attention is the consistency of flower development. Normally, when looking at a plant this size, you expect the hierarchy to be obvious: One main cola. A few strong secondary branches. Then progressively smaller flowers as you move down the plant. Black Diamond Pheno A seems to have decided that hierarchy is optional. Her central cola is still the largest and most obvious flower. Of course it is. But the secondary branches are not behaving like secondary flowers anymore. They're becoming colas in their own right. And even further down the plant, I'm seeing flowers developing with enough volume that calling them "lower buds" almost feels unfair. They're becoming little towers. Some are already approaching baseball-sized proportions. And there is remarkably little popcorn hiding underneath. That is what has me so excited. 🍃 Still Untouched Perhaps the most interesting part of this whole story is what hasn't happened. I haven't topped her. I haven't HST'd her. I haven't performed aggressive defoliation. I haven't stripped the interior. I haven't tried to force her into a particular shape. The only intervention has been the occasional leaf tuck when a large fan leaf was blocking a developing flower. That's it. And now I'm looking at this plant thinking... Maybe she never needed me to shape her in the first place. 😂 This is one of those grows that reminds you that sometimes genetics already have a plan. Our job isn't always to create the structure. Sometimes it's simply to provide the environment and get out of the way. ☀️ She's Eating Every Photon She Can Find And this girl certainly isn't wasting the light. Top canopy? She's using it. Inner canopy? She's using it. Lower canopy? Apparently she wants that too. And now that the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting has joined the party, I'm extremely curious to see how far this phenotype can push flower development throughout the entire vertical structure. The whole idea behind the under-canopy lighting was to give those normally shaded areas access to additional usable light. And Black Diamond Pheno A seems to have plenty of flowering real estate available to take advantage of it. She's capturing photons from above. She's capturing photons from between the branches. She's capturing photons from underneath. At this point I'm almost convinced she's going around the room looking for the last photon that hasn't been claimed yet. 😂💚 💡 Lumiflora Under-Canopy Lighting This is now becoming a particularly interesting part of the experiment. The top of the plant is obviously receiving plenty of light from the main fixtures. But look at the structure of this girl. There are flowers developing everywhere. That makes light distribution throughout the canopy increasingly important. The under-canopy lighting isn't intended to replace the primary fixtures. It's simply another layer of light reaching areas that would naturally receive less. And this is exactly the kind of plant where I want to observe the result. Will the lower flowers continue developing with impressive density? Will the middle of the plant continue filling out? Will the overall flower distribution become more uniform? We're going to find out. I'm not expecting miracles. I'm expecting observation. And that's one of the reasons this project is so much fun. 🌸 Flower Development Is Getting Serious The difference from last week is becoming very obvious. The flowers are no longer simply forming. They're building structure. Calyxes are stacking. Pistils are filling the flowers. Sugar leaves are becoming increasingly covered in visible resin. And the individual flowers are beginning to gain the shape and volume that tells you the real bulking phase is approaching. The central cola is beautiful. But honestly? I'm almost more interested in everything around it. Because when you look down the branches, you keep finding another flower. And another. And another. There is no obvious point where the plant suddenly says: "Okay, that's enough. Everything below this is popcorn." Instead, she just keeps producing. Cola after cola after cola. ❄️ The Frost Is Coming Along for the Ride Another thing becoming increasingly obvious in this week's photographs is the resin coverage. The sugar leaves are carrying a beautiful layer of visible trichomes, and the flowers themselves are becoming increasingly frosty. The close-up photographs really show it. We're still not at the final destination. There's plenty of flower maturation and swelling ahead. But Black Diamond is already giving us a preview of what she's capable of. And I have a feeling that once the flowers really start packing on weight, the visual difference could become spectacular. 💧 Feeding This Week The feeding program continues to support the increasingly demanding flowering phase. This week's recorded recipe: Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Plagron pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L Plagron Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L The nutrient solution is being maintained around pH 6.0, with the recorded EC/TDS reading at approximately 2.0 mS/cm. Watering volume is currently around 1.3 L per plant per 24 hours. And the plant is responding beautifully. No obvious signs of nutritional stress. No dramatic deficiencies. No major environmental complaints. Just growth. Flower production. And more flower production. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment remains stable and consistent, which is exactly what I want during this stage. Current conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 8 📏 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 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 💧 Nutrient solution temperature: 21°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L/plant/24h The goal remains simple: Keep the environment stable and let the plant perform. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs might be some of my favourites of this phenotype so far. The full-plant images show just how impressive her structure has become. The close-ups tell an even better story. Everywhere you look there is another flowering site. The central cola is developing beautifully, but then you move your eyes down the plant and suddenly discover another substantial flower. And another. And another. Some of those lower flowers are already surprisingly large. The sugar leaves are carrying a beautiful layer of frost. The pistils are still predominantly fresh and white, telling us that there is plenty of development still ahead. And the most remarkable thing? This plant still hasn't been defoliated. She's lush. She's green. She's full. She's flowering everywhere. And somehow she's making it work. 🔮 Looking Ahead This is officially the part of the grow where I'm going to stop making predictions. 😂 Because every time I think I know what Black Diamond Pheno A is going to do... She proves me wrong. What I can say is that the next weeks should be fascinating. The flowers should continue swelling. The calyxes should become more pronounced. Resin production should increase. And those numerous secondary flowering structures have the potential to become some seriously impressive flowers. I'm particularly interested in watching those lower and inner flowers. Because if they continue developing at anything close to the rate we're seeing now... this plant could become an absolute monster from top to bottom. And that's without me forcing her to do it. 💎 Let Her Shine This phenotype has taught me something throughout this run. Sometimes you don't need to push a plant. You don't need to manipulate every branch. You don't need to remove every leaf. You don't need to create the structure yourself. Sometimes... you just need to give the genetics the opportunity to show you what they can do. Black Diamond Pheno A has been given that opportunity. And she's taking it. She's capturing light from the top. She's using the inner canopy. She's reaching into the lower canopy. She's taking advantage of the under-canopy lighting. She's building flowers everywhere. She's filling spaces where I expected to find popcorn. And she's doing all of this while simply being allowed to grow. At this point, I'm not trying to tell her what she should become. I'm just watching. I'm learning. And I'm enjoying the show. Because honestly... I have no idea where this girl is going. But wherever she's going... I absolutely love the direction. 💎🌱 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers can document, compare, learn and inspire one another. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics that gave us this fascinating phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the plants throughout the run. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for providing the main lighting driving this project. Thank you to Lumiflora for joining the adventure and giving us the opportunity to explore what additional under-canopy lighting can contribute to a plant with this kind of structure. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. And finally, thank you to everyone reading, commenting, asking questions and following these plants week after week. Every phenotype in the 8×8 Adventure has its own personality. But Black Diamond Pheno A? She's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. She's not making one main cola. She's making a whole collection of them. And I can't wait to see what happens next. Growers Love. 💚🌱💎
