Greetings fellow growers 🖖 and welcome to my first grow ever. This adventure actually started several months ago when I decided to stop buying flower from dispensaries and just grow my own bud. How hard can it be!? This is actually my second seed of this strain. The first bean sadly died due to over watering (sorry girl, RIP). I was literally watering the cube to the point where water was dripping from the bottom, then heavily sprayed the humidity dome and tray with the vents completely closed. Everyday. Multiple times. I never let the dome or try dry out. So after about 8 days of not sprouting, there was a funky smell of rot. So that was that. Later I learned that rockwool retains a lot of water and can easily drown seeds. So a wet/dry cycle is best for rockwool germination. So even after hours of researching and digging through forums and tutorial videos, I was still under prepared for this journey. Did not consider how delicate the germination phase is. Oh well. Lesson learned. Reset and try again! I hope everyone is safe and stoned during this corona crisis. Just like everyone else in the world, I want this pandemic to be over with. But in the meantime, let's grow some weed! 🖖 [START OF WEEK 01] Day 01 - Monday - 08/03/20 - Total Days: 001 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Light Schedule: 24Hrs/0 --- Soaked cube in 5.5 PH water for 10 min. Did not shake water out. --- NO NUTES! Only PH'd down to control the PH levels. --- Did not use the default hole (way too deep). --- Flipped cube upside down and made a shallow hole for the seed (less than 0.25" deep). --- Placed seed in and pinched hole close. No additional water added. --- Sprayed the tray and dome with straight water (5.5 PH). --- Vents are cracked opened a for ventilation (about 1/4 opened each). --- Distance between the light and tray was 53" --- AC was set to 80 °F --- Exhaust fan was set to 86 °F --- Room average temp was at 85 °F --- Dome humidity was at 85-99% when sprayed. --- Allowing to completely dry before respraying. - [2200]: Dome and tray were completely dry! Sprayed only tray and dome with more water. Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/04/20 - Total Days: 002 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Sprayed dome and tray in the morning. Everything was dry. --- Hoping for the best! - [2130]: Everything was dry again, so sprayed dome and tray at night along with a light spray on the cube. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/05/20 - Total Days: 003 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Everything was dry again. Resprayed dome and tray. Slightly sprayed cube. - [2125]: Hooo damn!! She popped! Am little stub is visible! Resprayed dome and tray again. --- Still going 24/0 for lights. - [+0033]: Just checked up on her and I swear she grew a bit taller! Getting excited! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/06/20 - Total Days: 004 ----------------------------------- - [0845]: Wow! Went from a little stub to fully sprouted overnight! Everything was pretty dry again so resprayed dome and tray. - [2200]: Tap root is visible! Over 1" long too! Just resprayed dome and tray again. -- Going to prep for hydroton transplant tomorrow! Day 05 - Friday - 08/07/20 - Total Days: 005 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: She keeps growing! -- Added a bit of CalMag to the spray bottle (8 drops to 650ml of distilled water). Resprayed dome and tray. Water was at a 5.4 PH with 141 PPM. - [1045]: Prepped the bubble bucket with 4.5gal of water. Water is high enough to reach about 0.25" above the bottom of the net pot. --- Added 3 drops of Superthrive --- Added 3.5ml of CaliMagic --- Added 2ml Hydroguard --- Then PH'd down to 5.6 --- Solution Strengh: 120 PPM --- Water chiller is set to 20 °C - [1100]: Transplant time! --- Filled the net basket 1/3 with hydroton. When placed in the bucket, air bubbles are not visible, but are slightly below the surface (slight digging will reveal the water/bubbles below). --- Removed plastic on rockwool cube and placed in basket, then filled around and covered with hydroton. Making sure to block any light from passing through the net pot and into the nutrient solution. --- Covered with a half-bottle dome sprayed with the CalMag water from earlier. --- Hoping for the best! - [1300]: Raised Bucket 5" higher. Now light distance is 48" to top of bucket. - [1820]: Lowered tent exhaust temp to 76 °F --- Lowered AC to 75 °F --- Raised bucket even higher so light distance is 30" to top of bucket. - [2300]: Looking good! --- Sprayed dome and surrounding hydroton with more CalMag water. --- Attached timer to light! So new 18 Hrs On/6 Hrs Off light schedule. --- Lights On: [1600] (4pm) --- Lights Off: [+1000] (10am the next day) --- Decided to go with lights on during the evening/night and off during the later mornings/afternoon (the hottest part of the day) to see if temps can be controlled better. --- Please survive girl! Day 06 - Saturday - 08/08/20 - Total Days: 006 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Everything was dry. Resprayed hydroton and dome. - [2000]: Here first night cycle seemed to go well! Get'n taller! --- Dry again. Removed the dome. --- PH went up to 6.5 so PH'd down to 5.7 --- Ran the top feed drip ring for a bout a minute to wet the hydroton and rockwool with the nutient solution. ---Too scared to leave the top feed on 24hrs (I don't want over water her and cause dampening-off). Will let dry before re-watering. - [2100]: After closer inspection, I think she's looking a bit yellow. --- Decided to add a bit of grow nutes to the bubbler solution. --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 176 PPM --- PH went up to 6 --- I hope that the extra chelating properties of the 'PH Perfect' solution is enough of a buffer for proper nutrient uptake. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/09/20 - Total Days: 007 ----------------------------------- - [0800]: Water dropped a bit (mostly due to evaporation) so solution strength was at 190. --- Checked PH again. Was still at 6, so PH'd down to 5.4 --- Ran the top feed for a minute to wet the hydroton a bit. - [0915]: Since she's looking perky but still a bit yellow. So decided to up the nutrient concentration even more before lights out. --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow A --- Added 2ml more of Sensi Grow B --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 199 PPM --- PH went up to 5.8 - [1700]: Checked nutrients. --- PH: 5.9 --- Solution strength: 202 PPM --- Added 4ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- PH after adding more nutes: 5.9 --- Solution strength after adding more nutes: 238 PPM - [2130]: Decided to make a new foliar spray to address the continued yellowing. --- Started with 500ml of distilled water. --- Added 3 drops of CaliMagic --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow A --- Added 3 drops of Sensi Grow B --- Added 3 drops of B-52 --- Added 1 drop of Superthrive --- Solution strength: 164 PPM --- PH was at 5.9 and did not adjust. --- Gave her one spray. --- Also sprayed the surrounding hydroton.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 1 Flower | Grace in Every Stretch Some phenotypes command attention through explosive growth. Others quietly impress by doing everything right. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B belongs firmly in the second category. As she enters her first week of flowering, she continues to display remarkable balance, combining vigorous vertical growth with an elegant, open structure that allows every developing flower site to breathe and receive excellent light. While her sister has become one of the stars of the room, Pheno B is proving that consistency can be just as exciting. One of the greatest joys of growing multiple phenotypes is watching identical genetics express themselves in unique ways. Every plant in this project shares the same environment, nutrition, lighting, and training techniques, yet each develops its own architecture and personality. This grow also continues my favourite challenge: 12/12 From Seed. From the moment each seedling emerged, they have grown under a flowering light cycle, allowing every phenotype to reveal its natural strategy for stretch, structure, and flower production without an extended vegetative period. Week by week, Black Diamond Pheno B is proving just how well this technique can work. 🌱 Environment Another stable week inside the flowering room has allowed the plant to focus entirely on healthy development. 🌡️ Day Temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 60% 🥤 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 21°C 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm I've always believed that consistency wins over perfection. Stable temperatures, healthy root conditions, reliable irrigation, and continuous airflow allow the plant to dedicate its energy to growth rather than constantly adapting to changing environmental conditions. That stability continues to pay dividends. 🌿 Training & Canopy Management The training philosophy remains exactly the same. Gentle Low Stress Training continues shaping the canopy while regular leaf tucking helps expose developing flowering sites without removing healthy foliage. No defoliation has been necessary. Instead of taking leaves away, I simply reposition the larger fan leaves whenever they begin shading future bud sites. This keeps the canopy open while allowing every healthy leaf to continue acting as a solar panel, producing the energy the plant will soon need for building flowers. Sometimes the smallest adjustments create the biggest long-term results. 🌾 Feeding Program As flowering becomes established, the nutrition program continues supporting both the final stretch and the beginning of flower development. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom — supplying phosphorus and potassium as flower production accelerates. • Plagron Power Buds — supporting the hormonal transition into flowering and encouraging the formation of additional bud sites. • Plagron Sugar Royal — promoting terpene and resin development from the earliest flowering stages. • Plagron Pure Zym — improving nutrient availability by breaking down old organic material around the root zone. • Plagron Green Sensation — introducing a balanced flowering stimulant to support early bud formation while preparing the plant for the weeks ahead. The feeding program remains well balanced, with healthy dark-green foliage, vigorous growth, and no visible signs of nutrient stress. When a plant looks this comfortable, there's little reason to change what's already working. 💎 Phenotype Spotlight Black Diamond Pheno B has developed into one of the most elegant plants in the entire room. Now standing around 120 cm, she has become one of the tallest phenotypes in the project, stretching confidently while maintaining excellent structural balance. Her internodal spacing is slightly more open than some of the other plants, creating a naturally airy canopy that should become a real advantage later in flowering by improving both airflow and light penetration. Fresh white pistils are appearing across every branch, and flower sites are forming consistently from the lower nodes all the way to the main apex. Rather than rushing to produce dense flowers immediately, she seems focused on building a long, evenly spaced framework that promises multiple productive colas over the coming weeks. What stands out most is how effortless her growth appears. Despite her height, the stem remains thick and sturdy, the branches are well positioned, and every part of the plant feels balanced. She has responded beautifully to gentle LST, opening naturally without ever showing signs of stress. One thing has become increasingly clear throughout this project: Zamnesia's Black Diamond genetics are proving remarkably stable. Standing beside her sister, the similarities are impossible to ignore. Both phenotypes share outstanding vigor, beautiful structure, and excellent health, while still expressing enough individuality to make documenting each one worthwhile. Sometimes the best genetics don't create identical plants—they create consistently exceptional ones. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the flowering stretch to begin slowing as more energy shifts toward flower production. The small clusters already forming along every branch should start connecting together, gradually transforming this elegant framework into long, well-defined colas. Gentle leaf tucking will continue helping maintain an even canopy while preserving every healthy fan leaf that contributes to photosynthesis. If she continues developing at this pace, she's well on her way to becoming one of the standout performers in the room. The framework is complete. The roots are thriving. Now it's time for the flowers to take over. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these fantastic Black Diamond genetics, and to Plagron for the nutrient line that continues supporting every stage of this journey. I'd also like to thank the incredible GrowDiaries community for following these phenotype journals week after week. Your encouragement, questions, and shared passion are what make documenting each individual plant such a rewarding experience. Watching sisters grow side by side while expressing their own unique personalities is one of the greatest pleasures of every grow. Until next week... Growers love and Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Day 85 - first day of Week 13 and she is going into darkness for 48 hours. Hasn't been watered since 2 days. Even though she looks the least done of all three, her trichomes are now a good 20-30% amber with the rest milky and some tiny bits of clear. I checked her buds on the calyx all around, from top buds to middle to bottom. She really shows a lot of heavily swolen calyxes, which I have never seen like that. I can now add that to the things I learned/experienced: calyxes swell a lot before the plant is finished. Let's see. My Girl Scout Cookies does not look like she even has calyxes. Funny individuals. Happy wedding cake day, almost 😍 Day 88 - out of darkness. She was in there for 2,5 days. Opening the drying tent she gave off a really strong smell of hash 😍wow. She has some nice looking buds and looks def. more done, but below her dress, she has some light fluffy buds. I have hung all of them now in the dry tent, after I removed some of the bigger fan leaves. One part of it, I think I want to low and slow dry in the fridge. I am interested in finding out about the difference in taste, when a more wholesome profile is retained. For anyone interested, I can highly recommend this forum and this article: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/drziggys-low-and-slow-drying-maximizing-your-harvest.366783 Another part I would like to use for fresh cut oil, also from here: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/fresh-harvest-infused-cannabis-oil.363371/ As with everything else, I was obsessing about the perfect dry room & conditions. I bought a small tent (40x40cm), a small oszillating fan hung over the buds/on top of the tent. Due to size limitations, I have the filter on the bottom with the duct leaving the tent at the bottom connecting to an exhaust fan. Inside the tent I have a humidity sensor from an Inkbird Humidity regulator. Connected to that is a mini-dehumidifer and a humidifier. I have set it to 20°C (68F) and 50-55% humidity. I'm excited to see how long my dry will last this time. My first grow was drying way too fast in the middle of the heat wave last year with 30% humidity. The overview added to the pictures, I started making over Christmas. It was when I noticed, that I'm a so impatient, and that something must be wrong, especially in the first weeks. I get so obsessive, that I tend to overcare. Which she showcases beautifully in this overview. I hope this will calm me down the next time. Oh my haha Let's see what the final dry weight is. My guess is about 25-35g. Any other guesses? Happy Wedding Cake day 😇

The stretch was in full swing this week 🌸 Both plants showed strong vertical growth, with the flowering transition now clearly underway. • Height approx. ~90 cm • Strong vertical expansion • Stretch phase fully active Light intensity was increased to ~850 PPFD ☀️ and the fixture had to be raised slightly as the plants continued growing closer to the light. Clear phenotypic differences became more pronounced: • Pheno #2 stretched significantly and developed very large fan leaves. Its structure is compact, with side branches growing close to the main stem, creating a dense canopy. To improve light penetration, around 4–6 large fan leaves were removed ✂️ • Pheno #1 continues to grow more evenly, with side branches spreading outward and staying closer in height to the main top. Leaf posture also differs between the phenotypes: • Pheno #2 shows strong praying, especially in the upper canopy ☀️ • Pheno #1 shows more moderate praying Water demand increased during the stretch phase: • ~4L per watering until runoff 💧 Feeding this week: • 1x Orgatrex • 1x Greenhouse Bio Enhancer • Otherwise water + BioBizz CalMag Environment remained stable: • ~25°C temperature • ~55% RH 🌡️ White pistils are now clearly visible across the plant, especially on Pheno #2, confirming the transition into early flower. Overall this week showed strong stretch, increasing flower formation, and very clear phenotypic differences between the two plants ?🔥

Update from last week that I forgot: I gave her a final feed at 75%... WEEK 25 DAY 1 ... omg... 😂😂😂 It really took me half a year to finish this one... unbelievable... 😅 Well, so far I'm still super happy. Everything seems to go just fine but I'll never do this again..haha.. (vegging under a 50W bulb xD)... Soooo... looking at the trichs, I think the harvest window has just opened. There's still a lot of clear but the cloudy ones are starting to come and there's already a little amber on the leaves. I suppose I'm really close to harvest now. I'll be flushing her next time for sure. First, I'll feed her a low nutrient solution, maybe around 25% and half of the usual water quantity because I'm not that sure about when she really finishes so she dries out more quickly. Next, I'll use Grotek Final Flush right before I'll chop her down. I don't want to use this right away because last time my plants were dying a bit too fast so.. not to be repeated ;) Getting impatient now. Hopefully it will be a White Christmas...haha! DAY 2 Gave her one last feed at 25%. Poured only half of the usual water quantity. Left the BloomComplex totally aside because she seems like she's doing a little 'clawing'. Maybe there's too much Nitrogene? Trichs are beginning to get cloudy, with a little amber in between. I'll flush her with plain ph'd water tomorrow probably or should I wait some more days? What do you think? I'm never sure when the time is right... :/ DAY 3 I just took some more pictures with a macro lens attached to my iPhone. Seems like the buds in the middle do have way more amber than the other ones around which have swollen more compared to the ones in the middle but have less amber. The last days, I didn't check the ones in the middle so I changed my mind. I just flushed her with Grotek Final Flush. I'll wait for some hours for the solution to break down the salts and then I'll flush again to get rid of the flushing solution. I'm also gonna switch the timetable to 8/16. (16 hours of dark) and I'll drop the temperatures some 2 more degrees.

Starting to pick up a bit of bulk now. I'm reluctant to remove some of the fan leaves, because I maimed my first grow lol. So I'm using soft plant wire to hold the fan leaves aside. Allow as much light through to the new nodes

Nov. 6 - Week 5 begins. I am seeing calyx in a few spots so I expect pistils at any moment. Her smell is also starting to develop and I suspect she'll be a real stinker in the near future. Nov. 11 - It is not doing good but is still growing. Nov. 12 - I moved her to the 3'x3' I considered putting King Tut in, with some better light. I also removed 6 or 8 fan leaves from the main stalk and almost took off some lower branches but decided against doing so.

It's almost time, she looks beautiful. The nugs on this plant are BIG, I genuinely don't think the photos do her justice! This RQS variety is much larger than the FastBuds version but the nugs look very different to each other. Check out my other diary and see what you think. Next week I will flush and then harvest 😀

🌈 Mental Rainbow (Sweet Seeds) – Week 7 | Flowering Day 1 🌸 Here we go – the bloom begins! 🚀 Yesterday I flipped her, so today is officially Day 1 of flowering. She’s thriving in my own homemade Living Soil, and the root structure is crazy thanks to my custom booster 🌱. The smell is already phenomenal – sweet, intense and super fresh 🌿💨. Today I removed a few leaves 🍃✂️ to let the light penetrate deeper into the canopy. She also got just a light dose of Greenhouse Feeding Bloom – nothing heavy, since the Living Soil is already full of life ✨. This lady looks ready for a colorful journey – follow along to see how bright this rainbow will shine 🌈🔥. --- 🌈 Mental Rainbow (Sweet Seeds) – Woche 7 | Blütetag 1 🌸 Jetzt geht’s los – die Blüte startet! 🚀 Gestern umgestellt, heute offiziell Tag 1. Sie wächst in meiner selbstgemachten Living Soil Erde und hat durch meinen eigenen Booster eine extrem starke Wurzelstruktur entwickelt 🌱. Der Geruch ist schon jetzt phänomenal – süß, intensiv und richtig frisch 🌿💨. Heute habe ich ein paar Blätter entfernt 🍃✂️, damit das Licht besser nach unten kommt. Dazu gab’s eine kleine Portion Greenhouse Feeding Bloom – nur ganz leicht, da die Living Soil schon genug Power hat ✨. Das wird ein richtig bunter Run – bleibt dran und schaut zu, wie dieses Rainbow in voller Pracht erstrahlt 🌈🔥.
