Thursday 16th march day 59 Harvested a couple days earlier then planned as my humidity was getting a bit high and worried about risking mold I decided to chop, have to get a good dehumidifier soon, everything looking lovely, nice and dense with very strong fruity potent smell definitely the best looking plants I have grown to date not the biggest buds but they look quality, chopped plants whole gonna do my best to keep the temp and rh% in the dry room as close 60/60 as I can to get a nice slow dry, 🍁😎 I only took the wet weight from 1 plant back left plant was 270g with large fan leaves removed

I really slacked at the end of this grow, my schedule changed drastically in the last month and I was unable to really take care of her the way I wanted. She yielded a 56 grams exactly.

On the fourth day of Pride, my true love gave to me… one fully harvested plant! Oh Medusa, Medusa, my snakehaired beauty. I know men are awful, but have you considered a woman might treat you right? 🏳️‍🌈 Never let anyone tell you you can’t top autoflowers, because it seems like they actually like getting topped! (You and I both, queen.) Buds are quite thick, and all over the plant, in fairly even sizes. Having pH dialed in from the start probably helped quite a but, and the fact that she got maximum nutrients for most of her time in the tent definitely can’t have hurted. Harvest blows anything else so far out of the water, and I’m curious how she dries up. Just in time for Mary Jane :3

12/7 These ladies are doing great! Really focusing on their buds. We added a small bit of cal mag and it seemed to pretty much stop any brown growth. #1 is just stacking buds while #2 has more and more cloudy trichomes daily. Started doing a little bit of defoliation to open up those inner sites, just gonna do a little more when she recovers from the last sessions. We are getting close to the finish line, hang in there!

After week 16 of this grow my 'Fruity Terps'-plants are ready to harvest. I check the trichome-heads with a handheld-microscope (magnification of 150, available in every growshop) and see that all have turned milky and some start to turn amber already. That means PEAK-THC (=all trichome-heads have turned milky) has been reached inside the trichome and it is time to harvest. If I would let them go longer now and continue to flower them, more of the trichome heads will turn amber as the THC breaks down again to other cannabinoids, and the effect of the cannabis will get more sedative when smoked. For some chronic pain patients this is what they want from their medicine, therefore it is advisable for them to let the weed flower than recommended. The aroma coming out of the tent is STRONG and DELICIOUSLY FRUITY! 😍 The fade from the flush has turned the bigger fan-leaves yellow or purple now, this shows the plant is using her own sugars now and has used up all nutrients saved inside her. That is exactly what I want, since a well flushed plant ensures a clean, smooth smoke when the buds are dried. This is my MEDICINE and I use it against my chranic back-pain from hernia, therefore I have to make sure I can consume my medicine as pure and clean as possible. All my plants have grown big buds, which are glistening with TRICHOMES, the SANlight EVO4-120 LEDs did an OUTSTANDING JOB! In combination with the BIO NOVA nutrients, all plants THRIVED throughout the cycle and were able to grow healthy to their full potential.

Day 55 - Watering with water PH to 6.25 - Buds fattening - Vibe: 😍 Day 42 - 3B OG x Samsquanch - Current week Timelapse - Vibe: 😍 - Readings -- Lights 18/6 - Level 10 -- Temp: 70 (ideal) | 70.0 (avg) -- Humidity: 55% | 53.9% -- VPD: 1.1 | 1.13 kPa - Vibe: 😎 "Oh, the good life, full of fun seems to be the ideal..." — Tony Bennett

Big Stacy macht sich gut, Sie ist immer noch die größte im Zelt.Sie wurde gestern zuletzt gegossen, hab bisschen leaf tuck in unternommen damit die Seitentriebe mehr Licht bekommen. Werde der guten Dame noch eine Woche geben dann wird getoppt. Danke fürs vorbei schauen und schöne Woche noch Leute 🍀

💎 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! 🌱💚

Start of week 3 everything looking good. On day 16 I transplanted them to fabric pots. Except for the absolute unit in the middle. I left that one alone as it seems to have overtaken everything else. Using RO water and I add tiny amount of tap water to bring PH up to around 6.2. 3Liters RO and 250ml of my tap turned it into 6.2 ish PH from 5.8

Some problems with Glookies If anyone could looked

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 07/12/2019 - Fed her 2l of 6.5PH water with 0,5ml of each Grow, Bloom, Max and Alga-mic, and 1ml of each Heaven and Vera,noticed about 10% run off, also added a green filter to the camera lens. Adjusted the light distance to 55cm again it was toooo close about 32cm. 10/12/2019 - Decided to go back and check the basics, removed led strip to give a proper 'night' time, changing light cycle to 20/4h no more 'exotic' 22/2h, re-checked the light distance every 2 to 3 days to ensure 60-45cm and I can tell all ready she is loving it. Also added home made Co2 made with 1 tsp of yeast, 3/4 tsp of sugar 700ml of warm water in a 1l bottle with a tiny pin hole on the cap. 11/12/2019 - Fed her 1.5l of 6.5PH water with 0,5ml of each Grow, Bloom, Max and Alga-mic, and 1ml of each Heaven and Vera,noticed about 10% run off. 12/12/2019 - 8 weeks have passed and no flowers I guess I'm flipping to 1212h to see if she reacts.

I’ve spent the last six days recalibrating my grow room. It feels more like a lab now because I am doing a lot of experiments with different variables and this week I have learned an awful lot. After pushing the environment to its absolute breaking point, I had to balance what my eyes were seeing against raw data to identify exactly where the Traffic Jam was occurring. I got so excited at the ability to control proteins in a plant with light spectrum I did the usual thing I do I drove them to their limits. Maximum photons (and beyond) in an environment where the plant just works like a suction funnel with a VPD of 1.6 kPa. What I forgot is that in my organic setup, the bottleneck is the speed the microbial life can create immobile nutrients. Under any normal conditions, the Biotabs 'just add water' method is more than capable of keeping up, but I had to be that guy and push them with 950 µmol of whites. By the time my Emerson burst came on, I was hitting them with around 1150 µmol, not counting the drain from the UV-B! This, on ambient, is just too much to ask; the plants used up all the calcium available, and my microbial life was unable to keep up. This is good to know, as if I wish to grow at this rate later, I will know what I need to add to facilitate that. I'm still blown away by spectral steering and the way proteins in a plant cell work. Grows are not normally still this fun at this stage. ________________________________________ 1. The "950 µmol" Mistake & Conclusion • The Error: I was running the main rig at 950 µmol, but with 4 strips of DRFR engaged, I was hitting a total ePAR of 1150 µmol. • The Failure: This intensity, paired with an aggressive 1.6 kPa VPD, outran the plant's metabolic capacity under ambient conditions. • The Result: 'Pistil Frizzle' on the crown of the Triple Cheese—the delicate stigmas literally toasted under the radiant load. 2. The Calcium Benchmark & The "Traffic Jam" • The Action: I noticed rusty, necrotic spots scattered across the leaf surfaces. • The Conclusion: The plants weren't 'low' on Calcium; the Biotabs microbial factory couldn't mine it fast enough to keep up with the 1150 µmol demand. I have officially flagged an image as my 'Calcium Benchmark' to track this in future runs. 3. The attempt to fix • The Adjustment: I have lowered the light ceiling to 800 µmol (targeting a DLI of 31–36) and stabilized VPD between 1.2 and 1.3 kPa. • The Rationale: This matches the 'spending' of the plant to the 'income' of my organic microbes, allowing the nutrient highway to move smoothly without crashing at the leaf tips. 4. Emergency Recovery: Bactrex & Bio PK • The Action: To clear the jam, I introduced a targeted top-feed of Bactrex and Bio PK to the Cheese. • The Goal: Boosting the microbial workforce and providing a direct PK source to support the Week 5 bulk while the Calcium delivery recovers. 5. Rhizosphere & Water Management • New decontamination for my 10L res refills: 10 drops of ExoThrive Neutralise, 5 minutes of violent blending, and an 8-hour air stone session • The Goal: To strip all residual chlorine and chloramines from my London tap water to protect my Bactrex and Mycotrex factory workers. • Future Intent: Researching the Water2 Pod 2.0 with a Fluoride filter to automate this and ensure consistent, medical-grade hydration. 6. Pot Size & Substrate Logic • The Constraint: Bigger pots are not happening • The Solution: To compensate for the smaller volume, I will increase Bactrex frequency and explore high concentrations of Gypsum (20g per 10L) in future mixes to increase mineral density without changing the footprint. Summary: I pushed for maximum push and hit a wall. By respecting the biological limits of a just add water system, I’m moving toward Environmental Harmony where every photon is used rather than wasted as a stressor. Been a great week for learning. Thanks for passing. Grow well ..

☀️ // Day 8 🌱 First week is over and it was a kinda good one. We see that she made big progress and looks just how she is supposed to with 7 days on the clock. The first three-fingered leafs are coming. But let me tell you, she was soooo mad about the transplantation on day 3 from the EazyPlug to the solo cup! 💀The rooting in the EazyPlug was good, I used a normal red cup like in my last grow just to not directly plant her into the 19L (5gal) end pot. But she instantly responded with decoloring of the leafs from the tips, which fortunately got better after 2 days. Now she is completely stable again with a lush green color. She got some scars from it tho, as you can see on her leafs. It was just a shock I guess, so I am not particularly looking forward to her repotting into the final pot. I mixed all the 20L of soil at once, just to have the end pot already prepared. I used the normal BioBizz Light Mix and spiced it up with 50g/10L Startrex, 50g/10L Silicium Flash and 1 tablespoon of Mycotrex for the transplantation hole. I didn't use an organic fertilizer tablet for the solo cup since it's not really needed and also didn't use Bactrex and Orgatrex yet. That I'll do in the end pot because the solo cup should have plenty of nutrients for the first 2 weeks. I watered the solo cup till saturation with tap water, root juice and epsom salt because of the bad CalMag-ratio of my local water. The soil is still moist, so I think that watering to saturation is even in a small cup like this not needed in the beginning. 💦 Watering: 0,2 L with pH = 6.2 💊 Fertilizer: Startrex, Silicium Flash, Mycotrex, Root Juice, Epsom salt 💡 Light: 200 PPFD at 30%

The 21st of july we germinated this fantastic banana purple punch from fastbuds The 22nd of july we placed the seed in a peat pellet The 23rd of July the first 2 leaves appeared so we can say that its the first day of life! We will now start the week 1 of this diary 😁
