This one's been a breeze... The wife's following the book word for word and the plant is doing what I was sowed to do... Just a little cal mag in the pH 6 water and she's living her best life. More and more pistils are popping and the bud sites are all stretching to even out the canopy. Good genetics and proper care... Can't wait to see what the effects of this lady are as the stem rub has a skunk and earthy smell that just gives you an old skool vibe. I expect her to really start to stack up this week and then begin swelling those calyxes through to the end!

9/20 Man I've been busy. I'm sick too. Looking back at my diaries I get sick this time of year every year it seems. Once I get the important stuff done I'll put some pictures of finished product up. Sunny today and windy as hell. All the plants left seem to be doing good and look like they'll finish. The pink kush might not finish how I WANT but it's stinky and has lots of milky trichs. I'm playing with fire with this mk ultra. It's fucking done. It could get a LITTLE more amber and maybe come together a bit more but I don't know if it's smart to risk it. Frost warning in effect tonight. I'll probably check the forecast and harvest tomorrow. We're having some good weather just cold nights. Then it turns to like a 30% chance of rain for 4 or 5 days. I'll yank it before that. This actually turned out tp be a pretty good year. Haven't tested everything (especially shit in the ground) but what I have sampled I'm incredible happy with. 9/21 IT was a balmy 36° on my way to the garden. My windshield had frost on it. Surprisingly the TIGHT nugs of the pink kush and this phenome of 10th planet didn't seem to mind it. Both strains are still increasing in size, smell and trich development. Not just changing but adding more. Trichs on trichs. Very in hospital environment. It will be interesting to see what happens with these girls. We will be getting some rain. I mean we've had SOME but I mean real rain. If thays the case I'll put these in the garage for a little bit. Honestly I thought these would be goners. I've gotta get to work trimming bucking and manicuring flower. Doing a garden like this sure is an awful lot of work. But the reward is worth every penny. WATERED EVERYTHING LEFT A HALG GALLON APIECE. PROBABLY SHOULDVE GAVE A GALLON BUT THEY WERE STILL A LITTLE HEAVY. 9/22 It rained last night and we got another frost. HAD to cut a main branch of the tenth planet as it had stem rot. Lots more cold weather coming. If I could get it done and I wasnt sick and have all this other material to process I would probably pull then. It's getting really cold. We're going to be getting rain. I'll check the weather and hopfully I can just put the movable ones in the garage. Either way things will work out. Pictures that will be coming will be of the finished product! 9/23 Had a super busy day. Had to but a branch off the pink kush due to stem rot. If I had time I would've taken it. It rained today but I think the plants will be alright. I've been working non stop. I may not have the quantity I'm used too but the quality is AMAZING. I can't wait to do the smoke points and put up finished flower. The other 10th planet seems to be doing really well. I expected nothing off that. I'll keep it updated but it's hard with everything going on. 9/24 Had more emergencies. Raining and cold. Finding stem rot a boytritus but not much. We are getting an inch of rain tomorrow and rain the next day. I wasn't going to watch my shit rot as it was hard as hell and all milky so I quickly waited for a break in the rain and harvested two pink kushes. Still have one pink kush in the 50 and the 10th planet. I cut a cola off 10th planet just in case. This should've been done yesterday but it is what it is. Even with ALL the damage this had been a pretty good year. I can't believe the quality of....well....everything lol. A couple take the cake but I'll wait to do that. I gotta get back to work. 9/25 Heavy rains today and tomorrow. After seeing the damage on the 10th planet and the stripped branches and dying leaves I took out the loupe and checked the trichs. It was a rare break in rain and the plant was luckily dry. After seeing the pistols change on many buds to pure red and seeing lots of cloudy trichomes abd swollen buds I was able to harvest it. I have one pink kush left that sea7s like a willow. I probably should've taken that by looking at it but the trichs had some clear on it. Lots of damage this year on all plants but the first special kush. The quality is amazing though. I havent got to try every strain but I am incredibly impressed with what I have so far. I stopped smoking dabs (for now) in favor of switching my different strains up. I hope that every gardener is able to instil there energy in the plant and gets the same feeling that I do because it's wonderful. I will do an independent review of each strain, and keep updated on last pink kush.

These ladies are really starting to stretch their limbs. I have reduced the indoor light to 17.5 hours and will continue to reduce the light 1/2 hour every ten days to match the 16 hour day on June 20th when I have scheduled to put them outside for good. On warm days here I try to get them outside in the sunlight as much as possible. They are busy and beautiful.

First week of flowering in the bag, trying out a new deep voice in my videos does it sound sexy? Let me know in the comments. seeing a little bit of stress on the leaves, but nothing major. The new developing growth is green so everything seems to be going well. I’m gonna give it another week and then I’ll defoliate. So far so good. having a little trouble reversing the wrath rock, candy icy cuts. but I’m not worried. I have backups of the mothers and I have backups of those backups so I’ll definitely still be able to take another shot after seeing the results from this grow ….

MATARO BLUE by KANNABIA Week #12 overall Week #11 Veg This week all is well she hasn't faltered under the heat stress she's been a strong healthy plant so far this summer. Waiting for this lady to start and flower. Stay Growing!! Kannabia.com MATARO BLUE

Orange Bud is the best, fuck the rest! Normally i should throw all my other seeds away and grow only this one haha. I am in love with the smell, not Original Orange Bud, a little bit smoother because of the Mimosa. Shows some purple discoloration Edit: wow, the upper buds showed some signs of dark amber, so i did a partial harvest haha. Better to check the trichomes. .. I will leave the rest for 2 weeks and we are good to go! i am happy

Week 13 for White Widow by greenhouseseedco, Shes still coming along pretty great. She actually hasn't overly grown by height in the last week but her branches are defenetely toughening up to hold her weight. Fed plain water once this week.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 3 Flower The Quiet Sister Is Starting to Shine Not every plant needs to be the biggest in the room to deserve attention. Sometimes the more interesting story belongs to the one quietly developing in the background, steadily building her structure while her sister is busy taking every photon she can find. That is exactly where Black Diamond Auto Pheno B finds herself this week. Her sister, Pheno A, continues to be the more explosive phenotype of the two, pushing larger and more dominant flower clusters and naturally demanding attention whenever I open the tent. Pheno B? Well... She's a little more shy. 😄 But I'm pretty sure she's still walking around the room looking for those extra photons. Unfortunately for her, Pheno A seems to have already collected most of them. And yet, when I stop and actually look at Pheno B, there is a lot to admire. She may not be producing the same oversized colas as her sister, but she is developing into a beautiful, balanced plant with exceptionally healthy foliage, excellent flower distribution, and a very elegant structure. This is exactly why I love documenting individual phenotypes. Same genetics. Same environment. Same nutrition. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same training philosophy. Two completely different personalities. And Pheno B is beginning to show us hers. 🌱 12/12 From Seed Like every plant in this project, Pheno B has been grown using my favourite technique: 12/12 From Seed. From the moment she emerged from the soil, she has lived under a flowering light schedule without an extended vegetative period. No topping. No high-stress training. No aggressive manipulation. Just gentle Low Stress Training, leaf tucking, observation, and allowing the genetics to decide how the plant wants to develop. And this phenotype is making a very convincing argument for that approach. Her architecture has remained upright and elegant, with flower sites developing progressively along the branches rather than forming one massive dominant structure. She isn't trying to become the biggest girl in the room. She's simply becoming her own girl. And I really like that. 🌿 Environment Another week of stability inside the flowering room gives these plants exactly what they need: consistency. 🌡️ 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 💦 Watering: 1.3 L per plant / 24h ? Pot Size: 15 L 📏 Plant Height: approximately 160 cm The root zone remains stable at 21°C, while the nutrient solution is also maintained around 21°C. This kind of environmental consistency is something I value enormously. The plants don't need to spend their energy adapting to constant changes. They can simply grow. And that's exactly what Pheno B is doing. 🌿 Training & Canopy Management The training philosophy remains unchanged. Gentle LST continues to guide the branches outward, while leaf tucking is used whenever necessary to open developing flower sites. There is still no defoliation. The fan leaves remain healthy, green, and highly active, so I see no reason to remove them simply for the sake of creating a cleaner-looking plant. Those leaves are working. They're capturing light. They're producing energy. And Pheno B still has plenty of flowering ahead of her. So for now, I prefer to let her keep every healthy solar panel she has. Sometimes the best training decision is knowing when not to interfere. 🌾 Feeding Program The flowering nutrition program continues supporting the transition from stretch into increasingly active flower production. Current feeding includes: • 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 Current solution strength is around 2 mS/cm, with the irrigation maintained at approximately 1.3 litres per plant per 24 hours. And visually? She's loving it. The foliage remains a beautiful, deep green without showing obvious signs of excess or deficiency. No dramatic corrections are necessary. No reason to chase numbers simply because we can. The plant is telling us that she's comfortable. So once again, the best decision is simply to stay the course. 💎 Phenotype Spotlight – The Quiet Sister This is where Pheno B really deserves her moment. At approximately 160 cm, she has developed into a tall, elegant plant with a very different expression from her sister. The colas may not be quite as large or aggressive as Pheno A's, but there is something incredibly attractive about the way Pheno B is building her flowers. The plant is covered in developing sites. The branches remain nicely spaced. The flowers are stacking progressively along the internodes. And the entire plant has that beautiful, healthy green appearance that makes you stop and look twice. Her slender leaf fingers continue to stand out as one of her most interesting characteristics. For a heavily indica-dominant Black Diamond Auto, this particular phenotype continues expressing a surprisingly elegant, narrow-leaf appearance. It's another reminder that genetics are never quite as simple as a percentage written on a seed description. You can grow two plants from the same genetic line, place them in the exact same environment, and still watch them tell completely different stories. Pheno A is the loud sister. Pheno B is the quiet one. But quiet doesn't mean uninteresting. Far from it. 🌸 Flower Development This is probably the most exciting part of this week's update. The flowers are becoming much more defined now. The early framework of individual pistil clusters is beginning to transform into recognizable buds, and the calyxes are progressively stacking along the flowering branches. The pistils are still predominantly fresh and white, although a few are already beginning to change. The flowers are also carrying an increasingly visible layer of resin, especially around the sugar leaves and developing calyxes. It's still far too early to make any serious predictions about the final level of frost or aroma. But the first signs are definitely there. And sometimes that's all you need. A little sparkle. A little promise. A hint of what might be waiting several weeks from now. 💡 The Photon Hunt Continues One of the funniest differences between these two sisters is how they seem to approach the light. Pheno A? She simply takes it. Pheno B? She looks like she's still searching for more. 😂 With her more open and elongated structure, she seems almost determined to explore every available pocket of light inside the room. But there is a problem. Her sister is already standing there. Taking it all. Pheno A continues producing those larger, more dominant colas, while Pheno B is developing a greater number of beautifully distributed flowering sites. And honestly, I don't think that's a bad thing at all. Different architecture. Different flower distribution. Different potential. That's exactly what makes a phenotype hunt interesting. 🌿 Welcoming Lumiflora The introduction of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system is also becoming increasingly interesting as flowering progresses. The goal is simple: Complement the overhead lighting by bringing additional usable light into areas of the canopy that naturally receive less intensity. Pheno B's more open structure makes her particularly interesting to watch under this setup. Rather than trying to predict exactly what the additional light will accomplish, I'm choosing the approach I always prefer: Document it. Observe it. Compare it. Then let the harvest tell us the truth. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I expect the transition toward heavier flower production to become increasingly obvious. The remaining stretch should continue slowing down, while the developing flowers begin putting more emphasis on calyx expansion and stacking. Pheno B may never produce the same massive cola structure as her sister. And that's perfectly fine. Because she's building something different. She's becoming a tall, elegant plant covered in beautifully distributed flowers, with healthy dark-green foliage and an increasingly visible resin presence. Maybe Pheno A is the sister everyone notices first. But Pheno B? She's the one who makes you stop when you finally take the time to look. And I think she's going to surprise us. 💚 Final Thoughts There is something incredibly rewarding about watching two sisters grow side by side. One is more explosive. One is more reserved. One seems determined to conquer the entire tent. The other appears to be quietly wandering around asking where all the photons went. 😂💎 But both are expressing the same genetics in completely different ways. And that's the beauty of phenotype hunting. Pheno B doesn't need to beat her sister. She simply needs to become the best version of herself. Right now, she's on a beautiful path to doing exactly that. Her foliage is lush. Her structure is elegant. Her flowers are developing beautifully. Her resin production is beginning to announce itself. And she's slowly transforming from the quieter sister into a plant that deserves her own spotlight. So this week, the spotlight belongs to her. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B. The quiet sister. The photon hunter. And maybe... just maybe... the one hiding a beautiful surprise underneath all that green. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these Black Diamond Auto genetics, to Plagron for supporting this journey with their nutrient line, and to Lumiflora for joining the project with their under-canopy lighting system. And, as always, thank you to the amazing GrowDiaries community for following along, sharing your knowledge, and enjoying this journey with me. Two sisters. One genetic line. Two completely different stories. And we're still only getting started. Until next week... Growers love and Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Beautiful week for these purple ladies! The purple urkle has really took off and has fat colas forming whilst already piling on trichromes too! 🙏😌 the grape ape is a little smaller and fatter showing a big indica vibe to her so expecting a strong aroma and flavour and buzz when it comes to harvest 🙏 I can’t wait to see how these next weeks go as everything right now is perfect! They’re 4 weeks in bloom Monday! As that was the day I made the switch! They’re going to be some fat nugs

Que pasa familia, actualizamos 3 semana de floración de las Purple OG Kush del banco de Dutchfem. Van progresando bien las flores , lastima no tener algo más de watios en este armario. Tienen un buen color , se ve que no llevan carencias. En una semana o 2 seguramente pueda pasar algún ejemplar alguna otra carpa y darles algo más de espacio. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 26 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/60% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨

Day 50 - Added another dehumidifier to the closet and now the RH is 53/55% under the canopy and 60/62 above it. Wish it was good enough to prevent mold and pests. The ladies are growing a lot, think we'll have big chunky colas if everything goes well! 🙏😍 Day 52 - Today I defoliated the ladies a little bit to allow more light penetration 💪 Day 56 - End of week 8. The girls are doing good: the PL keep on getting weight and developping bigger flowers, the Gelato is 1 or 2 weeks behind her, she has been in vegetative stage for longer and she's still stretching! Now she is about 20/25cm to the light but she seems to handle it. Light at 85/90%.

The plant has started active flowering, feels good 💚

1/17 - Day 62 / Day 35 Flower Pots felt dry so decided to give them about a half gallon of spring water each. This wasn't enough to induce runoff. Will save that for a bigger watering later this week. Nutrient issues continue to persist. **************************************************** 1/19 - Day 64/ Day 37 Flower - Feeding day Pots were feeling dry again. After about a week of laying off the nutrients following the flush, I gave them a feeding today with their watering. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have waited this long to re-introduce nutrients as some of the lag in recovery is probably due to the fact that I flushed all of the food. The feeding solution consisted of the following: - 1 gallon distilled water - 5ml of FF Tiger Bloom (1/2 dose) - 10ml of FF Big Bloom (2/3 dose) Adjusted the solution to the following conditions before feeding: - pH: 6.5 - TDS: 303ppm - EC: .6 I gave each of the 5 gallon pots about a half gallon each of the solution, followed by enough spring water to induce runoff (approximately another half gallon). I tested the runoff for both of my 5 gallons and returned the following readings; Z51: - pH: 6.4 - TDS: 649ppm - EC: 1.3 Z52: - pH: 6.2 - TDS: 669ppm - EC: 1.3 I was encouraged that both plants are close to being within my ideal range and hopefully this means that they will start to show signs of recovery in the next week. **************************************************** 1/21 - Day 66 / Day 39 Flower I'm growing in an attic space and we've had a drop in temperature over the last couple days, my heating system was working overtime and more heat was rising into the space. I woke up today and the temp in my grow tent was registering in at 87F. I decided to play around with my temperature threshold on my fan controller, reducing the max heat threshold to 80 from 85. What I didn't account for was that I had a low humidity threshold of 30% (which I assumed meant that that fan would stop running if it hit this point). It turns out that my fan actually kicks ON when it hits that threshold... As a result. my fan was short cycling through the night where it would turn on when the heat exceeded 80 (causing humidity to decrease) then turn on again when it hit my low humidity threshold - creating wide swings in my temp and humidity. I'll tell you what, if I don't produce any viable bud this grow, I can honestly say I made up for the loss based on the education I've received. The nutrient deficiency issues are still present but don't appear to be getting worse. The leaves on my Z51 are pretty pale, it's clear they are starving for nitrogen but I am reluctant to try and address issue at this point. I'm planning 2 more light feedings over the next two weeks so hopefully this will be enough to get them to harvest. **************************************************** Day 1/22 - Day 67/Day 40 Flower My girls are really starting to frost up and the colas feel noticeable more dense by the day. I would have thought that the smell would have been stronger by now. Not sure if this is a consequence of my carbon filter doing such a good job or whether the buds are having developmental issues. When I get up close and smell the buds, I get a faint aroma but not the strong sweet and gassy smells that I've read about on other journals. I watered the 5 gallons today with a gallon of spring water each. My soil is not as airy as it once was and has started to cake up around the roots. I do my best to try and loosen up the dirt, usually to no avail. I was short for time so I didn't have a chance to test the runoff.

Been busy so I’ve been slow to update. Thinking 3 weeks until I can chop. Gonna be a much smaller harvest than I’d like (thinking/hoping for at least 2-3 ounces) but from what I’ve seen just getting to your harvest on your first grow can be considered a success. Just gotta keep them alive for 3 weeks then I can focus on the scary task of drying. I would imagine small yield is due to beginner lighting equipment, shorter veg time (coulda gone like 3 more weeks to really pump up the roots which I’d imagine would equal bigger buds), mistakes I’ve made and uncorrected nutrient deficiency. Really hoping that they put on some more size in the final week when they ripen. I dialed back the nutrients by half for their last feeding. I think I mistook the normal senescence for nutrient burn and I got worried. EC last night when I made my nutrient mix was 1250 I think. Regardless the quality is there, just not yield. Reallly looking forward to when these are fully dried and cured to test them out. Lots of trichomes starting and the smell is great!

Kicking in. Day 23 from flip. Making sum jizz from the sis.

Week 9 for Gelato 41, She was transplanted into the big 250L pot mid last week to my outdoor spot, she doesn't look like shes grown much since last week but i think its because how big her new pot actually looks compared to the 5L pot but shes definitely bigger😂 The mulch to keep her soil cool is just straight up hay (going for as low spending costs as possible) which i had laying around the garden already from a few years ago😇 Shes getting sprayed every morning at sun rise to help with pests... as my other plants around her are having aphid issues but haven't had to kill any off of her funnily enough.
