Day 8, 9-18-24: they're seeming to shoot up rather quickly and that's wonderful! I can't wait Day 10, 9-20-24: They are starting to look like they're supposed to instead of babies! I got them level with each other so the ppfd should be more uniform. It's rained a couple of days this week so the humidity jumped some, but mostly everything is good Day 11, 9-21-24: they are doing amazing. They are starting to spread out nicely! Day 12, 9-22-24: They are really doing well! I had time to set up the camera this morning before work. That's a 4th gen purple star killer clone next to it. Day 13, 9-23-24: they keep getting noticeably bigger! Day 14, 9-24-24: they're growing nicely and starting to branch out. They have also grown pretty thick

Alle drei Mädels stehen super da, deshalb ist jetzt nochmal genau der richtige Zeitpunkt für n bisschen LST, bevor sie auf 12/12 und in den Stretch gehen. Das Blattwerk ist gesund und vital und wird das Training gut wegstecken und danach schön in die Breite gehen. Nur eine der drei habe ich getoppt, sie wächst schön rund und gleichmäßig. Die, die am Anfang noch die kleinste war und hinterhergehinkt hat, hat nicht nur aufgeholt, sondern auch überholt. Allesamt vom Typ B der Amnesia Haze haben einen schönen Wuchs und eine gute Entwicklung in der Vegiphase.

Empezamos la semana 3 de crecimiento, he tenido serias dudas de si aplicar o no LST en el cultivo, como podéis comprobar el la foto que he subido lo he empezado pero por el momento he decidido tan solo tutorarlas, dado que es una variedad bastante rápida no quería arriesgar q la planta no tenga tiempo de recuperar. El aspecto de las plantas a pesar de manosearlas hoy que les tocaba riego es increíble.

She going good,humidifier went dry,so the light was burning her but catch it in time,she catching her self now, haven't water since I transplanted her so just observing..

This is the last week of growth. We are approaching the most attractive part, flowering. This week I will remove the extra leaves. And the last time I used growth fertilizer. This week I moved the grow light driver outside to lower the temperature inside the grow box and also added 2 Mars Hydro ts1000 bulbs to the box for better flowering👊👊👊

Día 44 (15/07) Wow! No hay shock de trasplante! 😍💥😁 Todas las ramas se han estirado hacia arriba tras el ajuste de LST y se están formando nuevos nodos rápidamente Esta combinación de nutrientes de Lurpe + substrato de PRO-MIX HP es una maravilla 😍 Día 45 (16/07) Ayer tuvimos ola de calor (37 ºC) y han aguantado muy bien! A última hora de la tarde (cuando ya no había sol directo) les apliqué H2O en spray foliarmente para refrescar los estomas Hoy parece que vuelven las temperaturas estándar para esta época del año: 29 - 30 ºC en las horas centrales del día Riego con 1 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 46 (17/07) Pequeños ajustes de LST Hay algunas ramas inferiores que no se han formado / estirado mucho Lo más probable es que haga una buena limpieza este domingo, 7 días después del trasplante, para dejar solo los brotes por encima del 4º nudo Día 47 (18/07) Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Este domingo (día 50) haré limpieza de partes bajas y tal vez también de nuevo topping en las 4-6 ramas principales 😁 Día 48 (19/07) Día de muchísimo calor con 37 ºC. A ver como lo llevan! Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 49 (20/07) Para ayudarles a llevar mejor el calor de las horas centrales del día, coloca una malla de sombreo (70%) sobre el invernadero Lo cierto es que se nota que baja mucho la temperatura debajo de la malla! Van a estar más fresquitas! 😍 Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 50 (21/07) Training session! Hago limpieza del tercio inferior de la planta, de todas las ramas y nudos que no superan la línea del dosel marcada por el 4º nudo (1er topping) También hago topping (2º) a todas las ramas principales La idea es tener 12 ó 14 colas principales para que no se hagan muy altas De paso saco unos cuantos clones de las ramas inferiores eliminadas 😁💥 Para superar el estrés, hago las siguientes aplicaciones y riego: - Riego con 1 Litro de Té Vegetativo de Lurpe Solutions. Preparación: 24 horas con bomba de aire (oxigenación) con ingredientes: Green Sunrise 8 ml/L + Insect Frass 16 ml/L + Hummus Lombriz 8 ml/L + Melaza 1 ml/L + Kelp Hidrolizado 0,25 g/L - Aplicación foliar Kelp hidrolizado de Lurpe Solutions a 0,25 ml/l 💦Nutrients by Lurpe Solutions - www.lurpenaturalsolutions.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

Update 2/4 (day 25): * Turned the lights back up to 100%. The top of the canopy is getting 50K Lux and they seem to be enjoying it. * Very small signs of flowering in the two smaller plants. Nothing yet from Pineapple Express #1, which was surprising since it's older. * Trimming bigger fan leaves to leave a clear top and bottom to the canopy. * Trying to train the colas to an even distribution and without getting too close to the sides. I am going all in on fewer-but-larger colas to try to boost the harvest. I hope I don't learn a hard lesson by not letting side branching to occur but want to give it a shot.

This week was absolutely torturous had an accident in which one of my plants was damaged fortunately I do not believe that all is lost I will just have to hold her back on sending her into flour with the rest until she is completely healthy I have sent one into flower a bit early just to see if I could and seems to be working swimmingly

Hello, Grow Diaries family! 🎉🍌 I’m beyond excited to share the harvest report for my incredible Red Banana Pudding! This journey has been nothing short of amazing, and I can’t wait to dive into the details. Let’s get into it! 🚀 🌿 The Harvest After a wonderful flowering period, it’s time to celebrate the fruits of our labor. The Red Banana Pudding has reached its peak, and I’m thrilled with the results! 🌈🍑 Visuals: The buds have developed beautifully, showcasing an array of stunning colors and a perfect density. The aroma is incredibly sweet and fruity, promising a delightful smoke. 😍 🌟 Harvesting Process • Timing: Harvested at the perfect moment to ensure maximum flavor and potency. The trichomes were checked and showed an ideal mix of cloudy and amber for peak effects. ⏳✨ • Technique: I followed a meticulous process, ensuring each branch was trimmed with care.

Went ahead and flipped to flower. Doing really well with the transitional nutrients. My mutiny pheno on the far right is a purple pheno, which I'm excited about.

Week wound down without any issues. I'm thinking that it's almost harvest but the times not right if it's a pheno. 4 weeks early. Could it be an auto? Please look at my tri pic and comment if you think it's harvest time.

This plant was trained around week 5 then hasn’t been left for nature to do the rest, and it’s amazing how quick she has grown and stretched

This plant is gorgeous! Love the shape pf the leaves, she's a happy strong lady, which I'm sure she's gonna make me very proud and happy this season, she has performed amazing so far, let's see how this lady keeps developing! Follow me guys! It's gonna be nice to watch this diary!

HEY Guys , I've been in a crazy & exciting week really, these contests motivate me to work on my photography and make delicious edibles 😋. after tasting that brownie/muffin everything change!! You guys Can't imagine the damn taste of it. ( I was high about 4hrs after eating a Muffin and there was nothing I could do to chill down a bit Maybe I should pay attention to it's dosage next time.😀 Also Taking Close shots of my buds and my homemade Extraction was really amazing, I enjoyed every minute of it and really worked on them for hours, when I find sth worth it, I always go all in. I put lot of time and effort to the point where I was finally satisfied, with both growing and taking memorable photos of my first grow. All and all, I loved every minute of my time here, made me pay more attention to my ladies, learn from you guys, share sth and have fun. Good Luck to you all & Happy HalloweeD 👻😎

Welcome growfessors to week 4F in the 4x8. LSD, Green Crack and Divine storm are showing the most discoloration, however the bud sites continue to bulk up and frost is showing. Both Mandarin dreams strains, 4 of pheno 1 and 2 of pheno 2 all look good, with a bit of discoloration starting to show. A bit of defoliation and removal of any dead leaves. Not much else to say, they look happy and a bulking up nicely. Tune in next week growfessors for another episode 👽🌳💚

3 of the ladies are in flush will be cutting them down within the next or 2 & the other 2 probably have another month left! Fingers crossed for harvest!🤞🏼✌️🏼🌱

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 12 | When Every Cola Really Does Look Like a Main Cola 💎👑🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well... At this point, I think we've officially passed the stage where this is a surprise. 😂 Black Diamond Pheno A is still doing it. Again. And again. And again. Everywhere I look... MAIN COLA. 😂💎🌸 I swear, this girl has apparently decided that the concept of "side cola" is simply not part of her vocabulary. She's growing beautifully. She's building incredibly dense flowers. She's becoming heavier. She's getting more impressive every week. And the funniest part? I'm not really doing much. I'm watching. I'm observing. I'm admiring. And occasionally standing there thinking: "Jesus Christ..." 😂😂😂 Because those colas are getting BIG. We're starting to reach the stage where the main cola is looking like a baseball bat... or at least getting into that kind of arm-sized territory. And then you look around... and the rest of the plant is basically saying: "Don't forget about us." 😂💎👑 So... let's give this incredible Black Diamond girl the spotlight she deserves. Because she is absolutely shining. ──────────────────────── 💎 WEEK 12 – THE MAIN COLA FACTORY ──────────────────────── Last week I said that every cola looked like a main cola. Well... I'm afraid I have absolutely nothing new to report on that front. 😂 Because she's still doing exactly the same thing. Everywhere. 🌸 The main cola is getting bigger. The side colas are getting bigger. The branches are carrying more flower. The entire plant is becoming increasingly dominated by these beautiful, dense flowering structures. And at this point, I've stopped trying to decide which one is supposed to be "the main." 😂 The main cola? Obviously. But then... there's another one. And another. And another. And another. So perhaps the correct terminology for this girl is simply: "Black Diamond Pheno A and her collection of main colas." 😂💎👑 That seems more accurate. ──────────────────────── 🏏 THE BASEBALL BAT IS ARRIVING ──────────────────────── Now... let's talk about that main cola. Because this is where things are becoming seriously impressive. 😂🔥 She's getting BIG. Not just long. Not just pretty. Substantial. The main flowering structure is becoming thick and dense enough that the baseball-bat comparison doesn't feel completely ridiculous anymore. 😂🏏🌸 And when I look at her from different angles... you can really appreciate how much flower is being packed into that structure. It's not just a long flower. It's a substantial cola. And she's still developing. That's what makes it so exciting. We're watching the plant move from: "That's a nice cola." to: "Okay..." to: "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" 😂😂😂 And somehow... I think we're getting closer to the last category. ──────────────────────── 💪 ARM-SIZED? SHE'S GETTING THERE ──────────────────────── I'm going to be careful with the comparison... but honestly... look at her. 😂 That main cola is getting to the point where "arm-sized" doesn't sound completely insane. It's substantial. It's dense. It's long. And it's becoming one of the most visually dominant structures on the plant. But here's the funny part. The main cola might be the baseball bat... but the rest of the plant is still throwing beautiful flowers everywhere. They're not all baseball bats. Let's not get carried away. 😂 But they're still beautiful, substantial colas in their own right. Which brings us straight back to the original Black Diamond problem: How many main colas does one plant actually need? Apparently... all of them. 😂💎👑 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE SIDE COLAS ARE NOT SIDES ANYMORE ──────────────────────── This is something I really love about this phenotype. Usually, when we talk about side branches, there's an implied hierarchy. Main cola. Secondary cola. Side branches. Smaller flowers. Not with this girl. 😂 Her side branches have become serious flowering structures. They're not just filling space. They're contributing to the overall presence of the plant. You can look at one branch and think: "That's a beautiful cola." Then move your eyes two branches over... "That's another one." And another. And another. The whole plant is becoming a collection of substantial flowering structures. That's an incredible characteristic. And honestly... it's one of the things that's making this phenotype so memorable for me. ──────────────────────── 🌿 STRONG AS HELL ──────────────────────── And here's another thing I really appreciate about her. She's heavy. Very heavy. But she's strong. 💪🌿 Despite the amount of flower she's carrying... despite those enormous developing colas... despite the weight increasing... she's not asking for a forest of supports. She's standing there. Strong. Solid. Doing her thing. And that's something I really admire. Because visually, when you see those flowers, you immediately think: "That must be heavy." And yes... it absolutely looks heavy. 😂 But the plant itself is holding her structure beautifully. That's a characteristic I really like seeing. Strong plant. Strong branches. Dense flowers. Beautiful architecture. And absolutely no shortage of personality. 💎👑 ──────────────────────── 👀 I'M MOSTLY JUST WATCHING ──────────────────────── And honestly... that's probably the biggest change in my role with her right now. I'm not doing much. I'm observing. That's it. We're at that stage of the run where I don't feel the need to constantly interfere just because I can. The plant has already established herself. The structure is there. The flowers are there. The branches are doing their job. And now... she's building. So I watch. I look. I photograph. I check. And if something actually needs attention... then we deal with it. Otherwise? Let her work. 😂🌱 Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply not get in the plant's way. And Black Diamond Pheno A seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── AMAZING GENETICS SHOWING THEMSELVES ──────────────────────── This girl has really become one of those phenotypes where the genetics are speaking loudly. Very loudly. 😂💎 The structure. The density. The number of substantial colas. The strength of the plant. The way the flowers are distributed. The overall architecture. It's all becoming increasingly distinctive. And that's one of the most exciting parts of phenotype hunting. You start with a seed. You don't know exactly what you're going to get. Then week after week... the plant starts revealing herself. And eventually you reach a point where you think: "Oh. I know who you are now." And with this girl? I think we're getting there. She's a serious flower builder. She's strong. She's dense. She's beautiful. And she clearly knows how to use the space she's been given. 💎🌿🌸 ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM – COMPLETELY HER OWN EXPRESSION ──────────────────────── And once again... let's remember where she is growing. Same 8×8. Same general environment. Same 12/12 schedule. Same irrigation system. Same nutritional foundation. Same lighting philosophy. Same upgraded Future of Grow setup. And yet... look at her. This is exactly why I love this project. The room provides the common stage. The genetics write the individual story. Every plant gets the same general opportunity. And every plant decides what to do with it. Black Diamond Pheno A has apparently decided: "I'll take those photons... and I'll turn them into main colas." 😂☀️💎 Fair enough, girl. ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE PHOTONS – MORE CAPABILITY ──────────────────────── The upgraded lighting setup remains in place. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures have given the room considerably more lighting capability. We don't need to run them at maximum output. Instead, we've brought the power down to approximately: 💡 ~59% from the plug giving us approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally varying depending on plant height and position. And this is something I really appreciate about the setup. We have the capacity. We control the output. And then we watch what the plants do with the environment. Black Diamond is certainly showing us what she's capable of doing. She's building. She's stacking. She's becoming denser. And she's creating some seriously impressive flowering structures. 💎🌸☀️ ──────────────────────── 🌸 DENSE COLAS – EVERYWHERE ──────────────────────── The density is another characteristic that keeps catching my eye. These aren't just loose, wispy little flowers. They're becoming substantial structures. Dense. Full. Developed. And when you look across the plant... there are so many of them. That's what gives her that incredible visual impact. It's not just one impressive flower. It's the combination. Main cola. Side colas. Lower branches. Upper branches. Everywhere you look... another beautiful flowering structure. 😂💎🌸 It's almost unfair to the camera. There's simply too much to photograph. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK ──────────────────────── This girl is becoming a photographer's nightmare. 😂📸 You line up the main cola. Beautiful. Then you notice one behind it. Beautiful. Then another on the side. Beautiful. Then you realize the whole branch is loaded. Beautiful. Then you step back... and the entire plant is doing it. 😂 At some point you just give up trying to choose. Take them all. That's the only solution. And that's exactly what I love about these weekly reports. The photographs don't just show a flower. They show the evolution. Week after week. You can see the plant becoming more substantial. You can see the colas gaining presence. You can see the structure becoming increasingly dominated by flowers. And Black Diamond is giving us one hell of a visual story. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL PART OF THE PACKAGE ──────────────────────── Of course... we can't forget the frost. 💎❄️ Because underneath all that size... there's still plenty of sparkle. The resin continues to give those flowers that beautiful crystalline appearance. And when the light catches the structures... they really do shine. That's one of the things I love about photographing her. From a distance: "Big plant." Closer: "Big flowers." Closer still: "Oh..." 😂💎🔬 There's another layer. The frost. The texture. The detail. The individual flower structures. That's what makes the plant so rewarding to photograph. ──────────────────────── 🌿 STRONG, DENSE & BEAUTIFUL ──────────────────────── If I had to describe this phenotype in a few words right now... I'd probably go with: 💎 Strong 🌸 Dense 👑 Substantial 🌿 Beautiful 🔥 Impressive And maybe: 😂 "What the hell did I grow?" Because that one keeps coming back. 😂 She's becoming a seriously impressive plant. And the best part? I'm not forcing it. I'm not constantly manipulating her. I'm watching her reveal herself. That's the exciting part. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ SAME NUTRITION – SAME FOUNDATION ──────────────────────── The nutritional programme remains consistent with the rest of the room. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... we're not trying to create a special world around Black Diamond. She's part of the same room. Same general feeding foundation. Same environment. And she's responding in her own way. Which is exactly what this project is designed to document. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 12 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same conditions. Different plant. Different expression. Different story. 💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE DOESN'T NEED MUCH FROM ME ──────────────────────── That's probably the thing I appreciate most right now. She's not asking me to reinvent anything. She's not asking me to constantly intervene. She's simply growing. And my job is to watch. Observe. Support if necessary. Adjust if necessary. And otherwise... leave her alone. 😂🌿 There's something very satisfying about reaching this stage. Earlier in the grow, there can be a lot of decisions. A lot of movement. A lot of planning. A lot of intervention. Now? The plant has become the main character. We're just watching the story unfold. And Black Diamond is writing a damn good one. ──────────────────────── 🏏 ONE BASEBALL BAT – MANY MAIN COLAS ──────────────────────── So let's officially establish the current situation. The main cola? 🏏 Getting into baseball-bat territory. Possibly approaching the kind of arm-sized visual presence that makes you stop and stare. 😂 The rest? Not baseball bats. Let's be reasonable. 😂 But still... beautiful. Substantial. Dense. And absolutely deserving of the "main cola" title in their own right. So perhaps the final terminology is: 🏏 One giant main cola. 🌸 A whole collection of smaller-but-still-serious main colas. 😂💎👑 That sounds about right. ──────────────────────── AN AMAZING PHENOTYPE TO FOLLOW ──────────────────────── I'm genuinely excited about this girl. And I think that's worth saying. Not because I want to predict where she'll finish. Not because I'm trying to crown anything. But because she's giving us something really interesting to document. She's strong. She's structurally impressive. She's producing dense flowers. She's creating substantial colas throughout the plant. And she's doing it consistently. Week after week. That's what makes a phenotype exciting to follow. You start seeing patterns. You start understanding her personality. And you start realizing: "This is what she does." Black Diamond Pheno A? Apparently... this is what she does. 😂💎🌸 And I absolutely love it. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW ──────────────────────── At this point, my job is mostly observation. I'm watching: 🌸 The continued development of those massive colas. 💎 The density and resin coverage. 🌿 The strength of the branches as the flowers continue to build. 👑 The main cola as it gets even more substantial. 🌸 The side colas as they continue to develop into their own major flowering structures. 📸 And, of course, the photographs. Because I want to capture this evolution properly. There's no need to rush the story. There's no need to predict the ending. We're simply watching. And right now... what we're watching is beautiful. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – SHE JUST KEEPS DOING IT ──────────────────────── Week 12. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. And at this point... I don't even know what else to call her. 😂💎👑 She's still doing it. Still throwing main colas everywhere. Still growing beautifully. Still building dense flowers. Still getting heavier. Still standing strong. Still making herself noticed. And I'm still standing there looking at her thinking: "Beautiful." Then: "Beautiful." Then: "Beautiful." 😂💎🌸 She's one of those plants where you don't really need complicated words. Just look at her. The main cola is becoming enormous. The side colas are following right behind. The flowers are dense. The plant is strong. The structure is impressive. And she's doing all of this while we're mostly just observing. That's the beautiful part. The plant is doing the work. We're giving her the environment. We're giving her the light. We're giving her the nutrition. And then... she writes the story. And what a story she's writing. 💎👑🌿🔥 So let's give this incredible phenotype the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's admire that baseball-bat main cola. Let's admire all those side "main colas." Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate the strength. Let's appreciate the genetics. And let's keep watching. Because I'm genuinely excited to see where this girl goes from here. She's already exceeded my expectations. And she's not finished surprising me yet. 💎🌸👑🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share these experiments with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover and follow this absolutely beautiful phenotype. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls evolve. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure continues to show us something I never get tired of seeing: Put different genetics into the same general environment... and they will tell you completely different stories. Black Diamond Pheno A is telling us a particularly beautiful one. 💎👑 Strong. Dense. Beautiful. Heavy. Loaded with colas. And apparently completely unwilling to accept the idea that only one cola can be the main cola. 😂💎🌸 She's doing her thing. I'm doing mine. She's growing. I'm observing. And for now... that's exactly how I like it. So let's give her the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching those flowers bulk. Let's admire that giant main cola. Let's admire all those beautiful side colas. And let's see just how much more this amazing phenotype has left to show us. Because honestly... I'm excited. Very excited. 💎🌿👑🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where one cola is apparently never enough, the main cola is becoming a baseball bat, the side colas are pretending they're mains, and Black Diamond Pheno A continues to make the definition of "main cola" completely irrelevant. 😂💎👑🌸 Let her shine. 💚
