21.07.2025 Defoliation, Lollypopping, and LST/HST. 25.07.2025 The strechy pheno on the right side has some problems. I think I've overwaterd her a little. But she is already the looser in this grow. Even though she is the most mature yet. The short pheno in the middle is doing alright. But the pheno on the left side is a real beaty. And she smells so much more than the other two!

Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 5 (Flower) 💎 Black Diamond Auto – The Elegant Sister Finds Her Rhythm Every grow has its own personalities, and while Pheno A charges ahead with raw vigor, her sister is writing a completely different story. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B is elegance in motion. She has embraced the 12/12 From Seed challenge with a graceful structure, long internodes, and a beautifully open architecture that allows every flowering site to receive excellent light penetration. This project continues to explore how autoflowers behave under a true 12/12 photoperiod from germination—a technique many growers believe limits development. Week after week these plants continue proving that, with a healthy root system, stable environment, and careful nutrition, autoflowers remain capable of producing vigorous growth while transitioning naturally into bloom. Growing inside the Zamnesia-sponsored 8×8 Adventure, under the Future of Grow Black Series LED and supported by the complete Plagron nutrient line, this phenotype continues to demonstrate that every plant follows its own blueprint. Rather than comparing sisters, this project celebrates those differences. ⸻ 🌱 Week 5 – Stretch with Purpose The flowering stretch is still underway, but unlike many plants that stretch without direction, Pheno B is building a remarkably balanced framework. Standing around 100 cm, she is among the taller ladies in the tent, yet her stem remains impressively thick and capable of supporting future flower weight. The internodal spacing is wider than her sister’s, giving the plant an airy appearance that should become an advantage later in flowering by improving airflow and allowing light to penetrate deep into the canopy. Fresh white pistils continue appearing at every node, and the first flower clusters are beginning to stack along each branch. Rather than producing compact golf-ball buds immediately, she seems focused on building a long flowering structure that could eventually form impressive spear-shaped colas. At this stage she isn’t trying to impress with density yet—she’s building the foundation for it. ⸻ 🌿 Training Without Stress Like the rest of the project, Pheno B continues proving how effective gentle training can be. Instead of removing leaves through defoliation, I simply keep repositioning larger fan leaves behind developing flowering sites whenever necessary. This small daily adjustment maintains excellent light exposure while allowing every healthy leaf to continue producing energy for the plant. No unnecessary stress has been introduced. The combination of: * 12/12 From Seed * Early Low Stress Training (LST) * Strategic leaf tucking * No defoliation has created a naturally open structure where light reaches multiple flowering sites without sacrificing photosynthetic capacity. Every leaf is still working for the plant. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation This week she continued receiving the same stable Plagron feeding program that has been driving the entire room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.9 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L The nutrient transition into flowering has been exceptionally smooth. With an EC around 1.88, pH maintained at 6.05, the plant continues showing deep green foliage with no signs of nutrient excess or deficiency. Her leaves remain relaxed, healthy, and vibrant, confirming that the current feeding strategy is matching her needs perfectly. Sometimes the best sign of success is that nothing dramatic happens. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The flowering room continues providing very stable environmental conditions: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Solution temperature: 21.6°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: approximately 636 ppm Despite the relatively warm temperatures, the healthy root zone, consistent irrigation, and vigorous airflow are allowing the plants to remain highly productive. The entire ecosystem continues operating exactly as intended. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Next week should be particularly exciting for this phenotype. The stretch appears to be slowing, meaning more energy will soon shift toward flower production. The small clusters developing along every node should begin connecting together as calyx production accelerates, revealing the true architecture of this plant. Because of her open structure, I’m especially curious to see whether she develops long, elegant spears or surprises me with unexpected stacking later in bloom. Either way, she’s showing every sign of becoming a beautiful and productive Black Diamond. Sometimes the quieter plants become the biggest surprises by harvest. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts One of my favourite parts of running phenotype hunts is watching sisters express the same genetics in completely different ways. Pheno B reminds us that beauty isn’t always about being the biggest or the fastest. Sometimes it’s about balance, structure, and letting the plant tell its own story without forcing it into someone else’s expectations. So far, she’s doing exactly that. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this grow possible, Plagron for consistently providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for keeping the canopy thriving under incredible lighting, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and shared passion make documenting every week an absolute pleasure. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Week 11 - both ladies look amazing can't wait for the smoke. 9L Pot she is almost ready to harvest so I on next watering she will receive the final part for 7 days then flush and water for 3 days. 12L Pot she look amazing a lot of buds and she have 2 weeks left till harvest

Caught them reaching out to the light, seeing some great growth. Starting to see a few pistols coming up hopefully they will start flowering properly soon

Well she grows pretty tall with a a big internodes distance. Started to flower. Wedding Cheesecake seems to like hot weather as she endured +40C like a boss! SHe also handles pests pretty well. While her neighbors are filled with spider mites, she's doing quiet well. I really like how she thrives in hot temperatures without any LST - a pretty big girl.

End of 6.week.

9/18: New week...fed with Boomerang and Kangaroots 9/19: Applied Axiom harpin proteins and boomboom spray 9/20: Fed full strength TPS One...decent growth. This strain really likes the Nitrogen..they were starving... 9/21: Tucked a few leaves and took some photos and a video. Looking good. Just a couple more days of 24/0... 9/22: Switched out the 560w of 5000k CCT lighting for 720w of 3000k CCT lighting and set the timer for 12/12. Decided against 13/11 with emerson effect...trying to save a few bucks on electricity. I'm keeping the lights at 30" from the tops for a day or two. 9/23: The girls loved their first night of sleep...so perky!

Vamos familia sexta semana de floración de estás apollo black cherry de SeedStockers. Que ganas tengo de ver el progreso de esta variedad, las plantas están sanas, se ven con buen color. La cantidad de agua cada 48h entre riegos. Esta semana añadimos nutrientes de la gama Agrobeta. Las plantas están bastante bien subió algo la temperatura esta semana pero por el momento no les afectó, a ver si consigo bajar un poco la temperatura estas próximas semanas y acabamos todo bien. Me pasé de mano con la comida pero solucionaré con agua destilada en un riego. Estas próximas semanas veremos como avanzan y como engordan las flores.

Aaarg same problem😩 Screenshot🔝

Well this lady is going great as you can see .. she has lots of buds developed all ready this is a tester strain and she is awsome . The smell is rotting fruit and citrus also some skunk ..There is a male that I have kept he is hardy ,fast growing stinky and handles cold and drought very well. This male I will be crossing with a few females.. for the end of week three flower she is doing great and I cant wait to see her in another 3 weeks ..cheer s

This was fun pretty interesting keeping track of a plant online little hard with multiple Diaries so I will reduce it down to maybe one strain a month on here but overall fun.😉

8/2 Fed two gallons this morning and took some hurried pictures. Did SLIGHT defoliation of dead leaves. Didn't have much time to inspect things. I'll check things out later this afternoon. Need to go in at night and see what critters are about. Woke very late so it was a very hurried morning. Rained last night like I expected. It's 68 at 9:30 and looks like rain. 8/3 Nice and sunny and 80 at noon. Didn't water as it rained last night nor did I get a chance to defoliate. After seeing a comment about mites I decided to break out the ol 100x scope. I took random samplings of leaves on different plants. I found ZERO mites. Just because I didn't find any doesn't mean they aren't there but it brings my anxiety down a little. While looking I did notice something is munching leaves. I wanted to use something to continue treatment for WPM and any random bugs but I may need to use captain jack's. I have lady bugs and don't want to kill them but I might just have too. I don't know if earwigs are a big problem or the holes are from pillars or hoppers or whatever else. Observing the weather and the 40 degree mornings and the wind tunnel I seem to be in, I don't see mites setting up shop or sticking around too long in these conditions. Either way if I missed something the IPM will get it. I bought general hydroponics cool bloom that I'm considering switching from tiger bloom. My tiger bloom is from last year and it seems to be crystalized a little in the bottom. We shall see. This is the last year of liquid nutes I hope. 8/4 Watered this morning and defoliated dead leaves. Looking on the inside of the plants I've noticed what looks like small leaves by bud sites dying or being chomped on. Not a single fucking aphid anywhere. I think those earwigs got a taste for those sweet lower bud sites and may be causing damage. It kinda helped as all they did was lollipop a couple lower branches in spots. Still I believe it will become a problem if left unchecked. Plan is to treat plants tonight with captain Jack's. I have a little more research to do but I believe that's the route I'll take. I noticed some pillar holes and other assorted pests so I think now's a good time to hit them with the Spinosid. Plants are looking good though. I can see cola's forming and hairs coming together to make small buds. What a great time. I have so much to do but I'm so busy with the other things going on it's hard to keep up. I'll update as I progress. Plans are fluid. 8/5 Topsoil was dry despite the rain we had so I watered and defoliated what needed and pruned some inner branches I missed yesterday. I don't like leaving exposed matter when it's wet. It's not supposed to rain until around 1pm. I'm getting frustrated. I can't find the earwigs anymore and "life" had kept me from being the best gardener I could be. Last year I woulda been out with a spray bottle every night looking for them. I need to visit the garden at night. I think I need to lower my pH too. Hopefully the apple cider vinegar spray I plan to use will help some. The water going in is good so I don't get how the pH is higher at the root zone. I've seen random damage from different pests. Tonight I'm putting petroleum jelly on the stalks and anywhere the bugs can climb up. I also plan on spraying spinosid tonight. I will update as I progress. The traps I made haven't caught a single bug. A little frustrated this morning but the garden looks gorgeous. 8/6 Rained last night. This wet weather sucks. Found a couple spots where bud shoots had been eaten as well as other tell tale signs. It's got to be those earwigs. I've researched my ass off and have none of the normal pests I usually would this time of year. Especially aphids. I have lady bugs but no way they controlled pests this well. More likely the wigs ran out of food and got a taste for nice cannabis shoots and leaves. I can't seem to make it happen at night so this morning I liberally sprayed all plants with a gallon of captain Jack's dead bug at 2tbsp a gallon as recommended. Spinosid works good and I've used it in the past with BT. Should take care of whatever. I sprayed around the cage too but I couldn't find anything. I read Spinosid is good at controlling those fucking earwigs too. Did you know earwigs are 20 million years old and the only species in their genus. I certainly didn't. I see leaf septoria all over the foliage around. By around I mean just driving or walking in the woods. It seems bad this year. At least it hasn't gotten to my garden yet. Garden is away from most other vegetation. I have ONE plant In that 30 gallon tote at the back outside my cage that I can tell has leaf septoria 💯. I don't know if I should cull it or try to fight it. I'll pick up a copper based fungicide and try first. I'm at that point where this plant was just extra and neglected so maybe it would be better of somewhere else. I may just isolate it. Hurried morning. No time for defoliation not pictures. I will update as I go. I will start apple cider vinegar spray probably tomorrow after I feed. I'm researching how to check my pH with an indicator liquid. Maybe I can get a better idea of the pH at my root zone. Those soil meters suck. Update I went for a hike just to check out the foliage in the area. I'm lucky. Japanese beetles have stripped a lot of vegetation around here but have luckily left my cannabis alone. I've killed like four total. I also noticed tons of fungal infections in trees (different area from my grow but within a mile). Hopefully I can come to decision about treating or culling that plant. 8/7 Looks like it's going to be a good day weather wise. Like I said my tiger bloom has what seems like small crystals that rattle when I shake the bottle. I know it's probably better to use one line of products but I switched to GH liquid cool bloom 0-10-10. It came highly recommended so we shall see. Plants seem to be doing well with the transition to flower. They look healthy despite the little ones outside the cage and the one with the fungal infection. Even that has nice tops it's just the bottom that looks fucked up. I think I'll bring it away from the others and attempt to treat it. Luckily it was just an experiment and a bag seed. After taking a hike I realized I'm quite lucky. Local foliage has been skeletonized by japanese beetles. This relentless rain has brought about fungal infections in trees, shrubs and even fruiting plants like blackberries. Things could definitely be much worse. I'm picking up a fungicide today to treat that plant. PM seems to be in check for now but I'll need to stay on top of it. Also need to try to get litmus paper or something to test soil pH. Meter is junk. I have indicator liquid though. I'll update as I progress. 8/8 Its been raining almost every night. Another challenge for the outdoor grower. I defoliated more leaves this morning. I noticed previous damage on bud sites that appears to be from earwigs. Also dead sugar leaves on new bud shoots down low and inside. Glad I got the Spinosid treatment in. At least whatever ate it will be dead. Need to still figure out what to do with that plant and whether it has leaf septoria or just a more advanced powdery mildew. I'm in town now and I'm planning to pick up a copper based fungicide just in case. I may isolate the one plant and treat everything and go from there. It's a large plant but seems to have lost most of its leaves. Not sure if switching the nutes was a good idea as I read that tiger bloom doesn't really expire and it's made to go with the rest of the nutes I'm using. Next week I need to stay on top of treatments and continuing to monitor for PM or other damage. Other than that plants look healthy and are transitioning to flower pretty well. Sunny and Tempe reached 90. RH is stupid high

Bonjour à tous Comme vous pouvez le voir , RAS pour cette semaine , seulement deux gros arrosage , cela fais 4 jours qu'il fait plus ou moins 50 degrés dans la serre mais avec un bon sceau d'eau dans un coin , cela ne leurs poses aucun problème !!! Je suis toujours en près floraisons.... Pour l'instant c'est vraiment léger le passage en floraison Hormis la "Black Domina 0" et oui, le retour... Elle se porte très bien mais étant isolé ailleurs je ne peux pas la prendre en photo entière... Niveau engrais , Peau de banane à tout vas et Marc de café , je tiens à signaler qu'en cette fin de semaine dernière un important arrosage avait était fais avec du fumier de vache , cet engrais est naturel , gratuit et très riche en nutriment !!!! Je pense arrêter de fournir de l'azote pour la semaine prochaine afin de forcé "un peu" le passage en floraison Bon week-end !!!!!!

This update is a day early but this girl is booming growth in the last week has been amazing shes drinking like a monster gobbling it up .started the bowl training got the top 6 branches tied will tie the rest when they are big enough removed a few leaves I think shes gonna start showing some pistols shortly hope can get a bit more growth first but im happy with her thanks for reading happy growing guys

Aroma: pungent, intense terpene aroma, classic Afghan, with some sweetness Characteristics: Unusually large indica strain with classic wide leaved characteristics. Mazar-i-Sharif strain produces the legendary hashish known as "Shirak-i-Mazar" and "Milk of Mazar". Over-indulgence produces a mind-warping, immobilizing and narcotic effect. This F1 Mazar-i-Sharif X Mazar-i-Sharif brings two very Nice Landrace Mazar-i-Sharif strains together for some Hybrid vigor in a Landrace strain. The female side was brought back in 2009, by someone that was stationed there on deployment that looked and found the best Cannabis farm he could to get some seeds from. The male line goes back to the gypsy nirvana Mazar-I-sharif line that is still being kept going pure! Flower time can be long but well worth it. Mazar-i-Sharif can be a very hard strain to find pure, so don't miss out on this one."

First week under my new DIY led panel. Had to move the fan above the led because the light was too far away from the plants. That's why the humidity has risen a bit, but I guess it's still okay. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▌My setup: ▌Growbox: Secret Jardin Hydro Shoot 80 ▌Lights: Selfmade 184W LED Panel w/ Samsung Q-Series Strips ▌Ventilation: Ventilution Mixed In-Line 145/187m³/h ▌Fan: Taifun FT-18 oscillating fan ▌Heating fan: Trotec TFC 1 E ▌Substrate: 50% BioBizz All-Mix & 50% Perlite (& BioTabs Starterbox) ▌Nutrients: BioTabs Starterbox & tapwater ▌Irrigation: AutoPot 4Pot System ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
