๐Ÿ’Ž Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B Week 13 | The Heavyweight Diamond Has Entered Her Own Era ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And this week... I think we've finally found this girl's own song. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŽถ Because yes... Her sister may have claimed: "Shining bright like a diamond..." But this girl? She's got a different soundtrack. She's heavy. She's powerful. She's a beast. She's using yo-yos to hold herself up. She's big. She's substantial. And she's standing there like: "Yeah... I'm the other Black Diamond." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž So maybe her song isn't the soft, sparkling diamond song. Maybe her theme is something with a little more weight behind it. Something that walks into the room with a bit of bass. Something that says: "MAKE SOME SPACE. MAMA IS COMING THROUGH." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Because that's her. She's Big Mama. And Big Mama deserves her own soundtrack. She deserves her own spotlight. She deserves her own story. And most importantly... she doesn't need to be compared to her sister to be amazing. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ Because here's the truth: To my humble eyes, I personally find her sister a little more beautiful. There. I said it. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But beauty is subjective. And that's exactly what makes the world interesting. What would red be if everybody loved yellow? What would green be if everybody loved purple? What would blue be if everybody preferred orange? I personally love greens. I love purples. I love blues. I love different structures. Different colours. Different expressions. Different personalities. And that's the whole point of this 8ร—8 Adventure. Different plants don't have to compete to be beautiful. They just have to be themselves. And Black Diamond Pheno B? She's herself. And she's fucking incredible. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ So let's give this girl the spotlight. Not because she's her sister's equal. Not because she needs to beat anybody. But because she deserves to shine exactly as she is. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž WEEK 13 โ€“ THE HEAVYWEIGHT DIAMOND Last week we officially gave her the name: Big Mama. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ And honestly... I think the name has stuck. Because she's getting heavier. She's carrying serious flower. She's using yo-yos. She's becoming increasingly substantial. And every time I look at her, I think: "Yep... that's Big Mama." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ She's not the delicate little princess of the room. She's not trying to be. She's a beast. And I mean that in the best possible way. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ She's got presence. She's got structure. She's got weight. She's got flowers. And she's continuing to develop beautifully. She's not trying to steal her sister's identity. She's building her own. And I really like that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ BIG MAMA NEEDS SUPPORT Let's talk about the yo-yos. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Because yes... they're still here. And they're needed. She's getting heavy enough that we're having to support parts of the structure to help her carry everything she's built. And honestly? I love seeing that. Not because I want plants to need support... but because it tells a story. The weight we're supporting didn't come from nowhere. She built it. Every flower. Every branch. Every bit of structure. She created it. And now gravity has entered the conversation. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒ So what do we do? We help. Simple. The yo-yos are there. Big Mama gets the support she needs. And she keeps doing what she does best. Growing. Building. Shining. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ At this point, the yo-yo department of the 8ร—8 may need its own employee badge. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŽถ BIG MAMA NEEDS HER OWN SONG I can't keep giving her sister the diamond soundtrack. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŽถ That's unfair. Big Mama needs her own music. And honestly, I think she needs something with a little more weight. Something powerful. Something with attitude. Something that walks into the room and doesn't ask permission. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ Because look at her. She's not saying: "Hello, I'm here." She's saying: "YES. I'M HERE." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ And I love that. Her sister can have the sparkling diamond soundtrack. Big Mama? Big Mama gets the heavy version. The beast mode version. The soundtrack that comes with a bass line. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”Š๐Ÿ‘‘ Because she's not just shining. She's carrying. ๐Ÿ˜‚ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž TWO BLACK DIAMONDS โ€“ TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORIES And this is where I think this project becomes really interesting. Because we have two Black Diamond phenotypes. Same genetic family. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting. Same nutritional foundation. Same irrigation. Same grower. And yet... completely different personalities. Pheno A? ๐Ÿ’Ž Dense. ๐ŸŒธ Cola-heavy. โ„๏ธ Extremely frosty. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Every branch seems to want to become a main cola. โœจ Very visually striking. Pheno B? ๐Ÿ’Ž Big. ๐ŸŒฟ Substantial. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Heavy. ๐ŸŒธ Beautiful flowering structures. ๐Ÿ’ช Strong presence. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And apparently a serious customer for the yo-yo department. Neither one is wrong. Neither one is better. They're simply different. And that's exactly what I want from this experiment. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒˆ BEAUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE GROWER I want to make something clear because I actually think this is one of the nicest parts of growing. I personally think her sister is a little more beautiful. That's MY opinion. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’š And I'm perfectly comfortable saying that. But somebody else might look at these two plants and completely disagree with me. And that's fantastic. Because imagine if everybody liked exactly the same plant. Imagine if everyone wanted the same colour. The same structure. The same shape. The same flower. The same expression. It would be incredibly boring. What would red be if everyone liked yellow? What would purple be if everyone preferred green? What would blue be if nobody appreciated it? Exactly. I personally love greens. I love purples. I love blues. I love unusual structures. I love plants that surprise me. And Big Mama? She definitely surprises me. Maybe she isn't my favourite visually. But does that make her less impressive? Absolutely fucking not. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘ She's incredible. And that's why she's getting her own spotlight. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S A BEAST If I had to describe this girl in one word this week... Beast. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ She's a beast. She's big. She's heavy. She's carrying serious flower. She's developing. She's filling her structure. She's using support. And she's doing it all with that very particular Black Diamond Pheno B personality. She's not delicate. She's not trying to be delicate. She's a powerhouse. And I love that. ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž There's something extremely satisfying about seeing a plant that simply looks like it means business. And that's her. Big Mama means business. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS KEEP DEVELOPING And underneath all that size... there are beautiful flowers. That's important. Because this isn't simply a story about a big plant. It's a story about a big plant that's actually developing beautiful flowering structures throughout her architecture. Upper sections. Side branches. Different levels. Different angles. Flowers everywhere. And the more I look... the more I appreciate how much she's actually built. She's not just taking up space. She's filling it. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž And that's a big difference. She's become a substantial flowering plant. And she's still writing the story. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ YES, SHE'S STILL GOT THE FROST And of course... we can't forget the sparkle. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Žโ„๏ธ Because underneath Big Mama's size and strength... there's still plenty of frost. You get closer to the flowers... and suddenly the personality changes. From: "Big plant." to: "Big flowers." to: "Wait..." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’Ž There it is. The resin. The detail. The texture. The sparkle. That's another layer of this girl. She may not have the exact same visual character as her sister... but she absolutely has her own beauty. And the closer you look... the more you find. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ SAME PHOTONS โ€“ HER OWN WAY OF USING THEM And once again... here's the part I never get tired of. Same room. Same photons. Different plant. โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room. We're still using the expanded lighting capability with controlled output. Approximately: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug With around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally varying depending on plant height and position. And Big Mama is doing what Big Mama does. She's taking that environment... and turning it into her own expression. The photons don't know she's Pheno B. They don't know her sister exists. They simply arrive. The plant receives them. And genetics decide what happens next. That's one of my favourite parts of this whole experiment. The environment gives them the opportunity. The genetics write the story. And Black Diamond Pheno B has written: "Make me BIG." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ Message received. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก FUTURE OF GROW โ€“ MORE CAPABILITY, MORE CONTROL The lighting upgrade continues to be one of the most interesting additions to this room. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures gave us more capability. But we're not simply running everything flat out. More power doesn't mean maximum power all the time. It means flexibility. It means having more available capacity. It means being able to control the output. And right now... ~59% from the plug is giving us the lighting environment we're targeting. That's exactly the kind of control I like. More capability. Controlled output. And then... we watch what the plants do. Huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying those additional fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded setup. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ BIG MAMA DESERVES HER PHOTOS And unlike that unfortunate photographic incident from a few weeks ago... we are NOT forgetting Big Mama. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ She gets her camera time. She gets her close-ups. She gets her wide shots. She gets her flowers photographed. She gets her structure documented. Because every phenotype deserves its own visual record. And especially a phenotype like this. She's changing. She's developing. She's becoming heavier. She's getting more substantial. And these photographs allow us to look back later and say: "Look how she changed." That's what these diaries are about. Not just showing the prettiest photograph. Showing the journey. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ญ NO JEALOUSY ALLOWED And I want to make one thing very clear. Big Mama... DO NOT GET JEALOUS OF YOUR SISTER. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž Your sister may be a little prettier to my eyes. Fine. But look at you. LOOK AT YOU. You're a beast. You're heavy. You're substantial. You're beautiful. You're covered in flowers. You're developing frost. You're filling your space. You're using yo-yos because you're carrying so much weight. And you're doing it your way. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž You don't need to be her. She doesn't need to be you. That's the beauty of having both of you in the room. Different expressions. Different personalities. Different stories. And I wouldn't change that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘€ MY JOB IS STILL MOSTLY WATCHING We're at that beautiful stage where I'm mostly observing. The major structural decisions are already behind us. The plants have established themselves. Now we're watching them develop. So I look. I inspect. I photograph. I support where necessary. I monitor. And if nothing needs changing... I leave them alone. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ There's no prize for touching your plants the most. Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply give them the environment... and let them work. Big Mama is working. She's building. She's carrying. She's shining. So I'm happy to watch. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ SAME NUTRITION โ€“ SAME FOUNDATION The nutritional foundation remains consistent with the room. ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special because she's Big Mama. She's receiving the same general room approach. Same environment. Same foundation. And she's responding in her own way. That's the whole point. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 13 โ€“ ROOM CONDITIONS The room remains broadly around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h ? Pot size: 15 L Same room. Same framework. Same general conditions. And yet... another completely different expression. That's the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ช HEAVY ENOUGH TO NEED THE YO-YOS I think this deserves another mention. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because support has become part of her identity. The yo-yos aren't there because something went wrong. They're there because she's carrying weight. A lot of it. She's built flowers. She's built branches. She's built structure. And now she's asking for a little assistance. So we give it to her. Simple. No drama. No panic. Just: "Okay, Big Mama... I've got you." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ And that's honestly one of the most satisfying parts of growing. The plant does the work. The grower helps when necessary. That's it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž SHE DOESN'T NEED TO BE THE PRETTIEST DIAMOND This is probably the most important thought I have about her this week. A diamond doesn't have to look exactly like another diamond. Different cuts. Different shapes. Different colours. Different characteristics. Different beauty. And that's exactly what we're seeing here. Two Black Diamonds. Two different expressions. Two different stories. And both beautiful. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž Her sister might catch my eye first. Big Mama might make me stop because of her size. Somebody else might prefer Big Mama. Another grower might prefer Pheno A. Another person might love both. Another might prefer something completely different. And that's fantastic. Because beauty isn't a competition. It's perception. And Big Mama? She has absolutely earned my respect. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŽถ HER SONG โ€“ BIG MAMA'S THEME So... we need a soundtrack. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽถ Her sister has: "Shining bright like a diamond..." Big Mama needs something different. Something heavier. Something with attitude. Something that sounds like a plant walking into the room carrying enough flower to need yo-yos. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ So I'm officially declaring her theme: ๐ŸŽถ "WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE" MODE ๐ŸŽถ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ Not because she's scary. Not because she's aggressive. But because when you walk into the 8ร—8 and see this beast standing there... you know you're in the jungle. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ Big Mama doesn't sparkle quietly in the corner. She occupies space. She carries weight. She has presence. And she makes herself known. That's her soundtrack. That's her personality. That's Big Mama. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THIS IS WHY PHENOTYPES ARE SO INTERESTING Starting with seeds... we never know exactly what personality will emerge. We can have expectations. We can know the genetics. We can have experience. But the plant eventually tells us who she is. Pheno A told us: "I'm going to make everything look like a main cola." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Pheno B told us: "I'm going to become Big Mama." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž And honestly? I love both stories. Because they teach us something different. That's why I'm so happy we documented them separately. If you only saw one Black Diamond, you might assume that's what the whole genetic line looks like. But put two phenotypes side by side... and suddenly you see the diversity. That's the magic. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? More watching. More flowers. More development. More photographs. More support when Big Mama asks for it. And hopefully... more reasons for me to stand there and say: "Jesus Christ, she's heavy." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm not going to rush her. I'm not going to compare her to her sister. I'm not going to force her into somebody else's definition of beauty. I'm simply going to keep watching. She's writing her own story. And right now... it's a damn good one. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ LET BIG MAMA SHINE Week 13. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B. Big Mama. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ She's heavy. She's substantial. She's a beast. She's using yo-yos. She's carrying beautiful flowers. She's developing frost. She's getting bigger. She's getting more impressive. And she's becoming more and more herself. Is she as beautiful as her sister? To my humble eyes... maybe not. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But you know what? Who cares? That's my opinion. Someone else might look at her and say: "Are you fucking kidding me? THIS is the beautiful one." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž And that's exactly how it should be. Beauty isn't a mathematical equation. It's not something we can measure with a ruler. It's personal. It's emotional. It's subjective. And that's what makes growing so interesting. I love green. I love purple. I love blue. I love strange structures. I love unusual expressions. And I love plants that surprise me. Big Mama has definitely surprised me. She's not my favourite Black Diamond visually... but she's absolutely one of the most interesting. And she's certainly one of the strongest personalities in this room. She's a beast. She's incredible. She's heavy. She's beautiful. And she deserves the spotlight. So no jealousy, Big Mama. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ Your sister can have her diamond song. You have your own soundtrack. You have your own personality. You have your own story. And you have your own place in this 8ร—8 jungle. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate that heavy structure. Let's appreciate those beautiful flowers. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the genetics. Let's appreciate the yo-yos. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And let's watch this incredible girl continue to become exactly what she wants to become. Big Mama... shine bright like the diamond you are. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘โœจ You don't need to be your sister. You don't need to compete. You don't need to be anybody else. You just need to be you. And honestly? You're doing a fucking amazing job. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ 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 these two completely different expressions. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room throughout this adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ 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 develop. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š This 8ร—8 Adventure keeps reminding me that there is no single definition of beauty. There is no single perfect structure. There is no single perfect phenotype. There is no single way for a plant to express herself. And Black Diamond Pheno B is a perfect example. Her sister shines in one way. Big Mama shines in another. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž One is a diamond. The other is also a diamond... but perhaps one that's been put through the gym. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’Ž She's heavy. She's strong. She's substantial. She's beautiful. She's frosty. She's a beast. And she absolutely deserves her moment. So let's give Big Mama the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching those flowers develop. Let's keep those yo-yos ready. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ And let's see what this beautiful beast decides to show us next. Because she isn't finished writing her story. Not even close. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where every plant has her own personality, every phenotype has her own story, every colour has someone who loves it, and apparently... every Big Mama needs her own soundtrack. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ‘‘ Big Mama... the spotlight is yours. Shine bright like the diamond you are. ๐Ÿ’Žโœจ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ Let her shine. ๐Ÿ’š

Getting down to the last couple weeks for Northern Lights Auto! Just started to feed overdrive and will most likely start flushing next week. Won't have top notch flower however considering I cooked her late in flower she's looking pretty good. She is still giving her all to ripen up!!!

Week 4, after last week's pruning, the plant has recovered well. I'm using wires to do some LST and create space between the branches.

Awesome week of flower for these girls. Hand watering with purr organics is stacking but staying short and stout. A lot developing very fast going to be a tasty one. Still feed, water water feed at half feeding chart Autopot with the Clyde and cal mag have been growing huge but lots of spacing. A little behind the hand watering but no concerns yet. Reservoir ph is 5.9 and ec is always about 1.3 now. First day of reservoir change the plant gets ph water only. Ppfd - 700 Vpd - 1.23

Once again had no issues had very good growth on all my plants, mother plant seems to use about 12/15l of water every 4 days just have to keep on top of that. Topping I did couple of weeks ago went a bit side ways as some plants seem to have 3 nodes at the top some how, Think is will be the last week in veg going to change light times next week to start flower, What would peopleโ€™s views be on defoliation on the before flower should I do it now while there in veg or when I change the light cycle

She is growing great ! Started flowering this week, I did a flush after the pre flower and increased the nutrient intake for flowering now. Got a lil light burn so put the light a bit further away, dim is on 80% now. Tie down and partial defoliation did well in evening the canopy and not letting it grow too high, but more in the sides.

End of week two notes : Created a gilly web to get everything nicely pulled in a way that is barely stressing the plants . Because all of thebsteings have specail knots as they grow in certain places , it will take stress off other parts of the plant in the webbing . Also increased out solution temperature From 21.6 to 23.8 also we were adding 150 mills of budjuice once a week and then the CO2 to breathe bag would be why we are increasing the temperature in order to get that CO2 to fully Digest it as much as possible without causing any burn or over temperature stress to the plants. They are on the floor , and it being -40C and colder I think that is to contribute to the plants not drinking as much . As you can see there is no sign of nutrient burn or really and disfunction I can see ? Let me know because as always I am always looking to bounce ideas !!

First grow, if you have any advice or feedback to give me go ahead :). All conditions of the plant will be what the plant is currently at in week 3. I tried to keep it as organic as possible and only cut one of the lower leafs to try to get a clone going.

Made sure the run off was 0.5ms, the water that I feed with has a reading of 0.3ms so I'm looking forward to when she has dried and cured so I can update with the smoke review
