? Black Diamond – Plant B Week 3 | Vegetation 8×8 Adventure – 12/12 From Seed Another exciting week in the 8×8 Adventure! Every plant in this project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique, allowing each phenotype to express its natural structure while remaining compact and efficient. Plant B of Black Diamond is beginning to reveal its own personality, showing strong apical dominance, excellent vigor, and beautiful structural symmetry. The goal of this project continues to be documenting every phenotype individually, following its complete journey from seed to harvest while using the Plagron nutrient line throughout the entire grow. ⸻ 🌱 Grow Conditions • Week: 3 (Vegetation) • Height: 17 cm • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 27°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 55% • CO₂: 666 ppm • pH: 6.0 • EC: 1.3 • Solution Temperature: 20°C • Root Zone Temperature: 21°C • Pot Size: 15 L • Daily Water: 1 L Feeding * Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots – 1 ml/L * Pure Zym – 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L * pH Plus / Lemon Kick as required ⸻ 🌿 Weekly Development Plant B continues to impress with its vigorous and balanced development. During this third week, vertical growth accelerated while maintaining short internodal spacing, creating a compact but well-structured plant that looks perfectly suited for the 12/12 method. The main stem has thickened noticeably and is already showing excellent strength. Side branches are emerging evenly from every node, indicating that this phenotype should build a very uniform flowering structure over the coming weeks. The newest growth is vibrant lime green, gradually darkening as the leaves mature, while the larger fan leaves remain a rich healthy green with no visible signs of nutrient stress or deficiencies. ⸻ 👀 Structural Observations One characteristic that immediately stands out on Plant B is its strong central leader. Unlike some phenotypes that naturally spread laterally early on, this individual seems determined to build a dominant main cola while simultaneously producing vigorous secondary branches. Node spacing remains pleasantly tight, giving the plant a compact architecture without becoming overcrowded. As more side shoots develop, the canopy is beginning to fill naturally while maintaining excellent airflow through the interior. Stem diameter has increased considerably compared to last week, suggesting the root system is becoming well established inside the 15-liter container. ⸻ 🍃 Plant Health Health this week has been excellent. The leaves remain flat, fully expanded and symmetrical, with strong petioles supporting each fan leaf. New shoots are developing quickly from every node and there are no signs of nutrient burn, deficiencies or environmental stress. The feeding schedule appears to be matching the plant’s demand very well, supporting vigorous growth while keeping the foliage clean and healthy. ⸻ 📸 Photo Notes This week’s photographs clearly highlight the symmetrical canopy developing from above, while the side profile showcases the increasing stem thickness and vigorous branching beginning at every internode. Close-up images of the growth tip reveal rapid vegetative expansion and healthy leaf formation, confirming that Plant B is transitioning smoothly toward the next stage of development. ⸻ 🔜 Looking Ahead With the root system now well established and the structural framework taking shape, the coming week should bring a noticeable increase in both vertical growth and lateral branch development. As flowering approaches under the continuous 12/12 schedule, it will be fascinating to see how Black Diamond Plant B balances stretch with bud site formation. Based on its current architecture, this phenotype has the potential to produce a well-organized canopy with multiple productive flowering sites. Growers Love and see you all ext week 🙏

Some leaves starting yellowing and dying as plant is focusing on bud growth. Decided to run some defoliation techniques to allow nutrients to not be wasted. Didn’t want to stress the plant too much as I did this earlier and don’t want to cause any hermies will monitor and feed regularly

Another week is coming to an end, everything is fine with this girl, she gets more beautiful every day. We are reaching the final weeks, so.. until next time. ✌️🌿🙏

Day 48 - 11/11/19 started this week early by accident. Plant smells like tropical cheese and i cant see the stalk anymore except from the leaves, very bushy and seems to be in a mid stage of flowering. buds are getting bigger by the looks of it. very sticky also! Ive been removing about 2 leaves per day from this one, started with a couple touching the soil and removed a few higher ones today to expose the buds to more light and fresh air. when looking at this plant side on the main cola looks huge and growing more every day. im assuming this is about 2 weeks away from harvest so il probs flush next week. roll on harvest time! other than that the humidity has went up to 50-55 the odd time when watering all the plants. it doesnt stay high long with the heat from the lights so it should be fine. Day 51 - 14/11/19 Still removing the odd couple of leaves every day to let the fresh air get near the main cola, i still cant see it very well but it looks like what a 6-7g bud looks like when its dried aha. the smell can be described as if someone took a cheese strain and added something powerful and herbal/tropical to it. cant wait to order my jewelers loupe in a few days to see where im really at :) and i added a video to show the plant looking all frosty. a few weeks to go now!

Final stretch for the Cheese trees twins. Amazing smells inside the grow room. Smells great, but this dank ass smell, lingers in the air. Not sure which is creating this odor, or maybe just a mixture from all the ladies. Straight water for the next week. Once I get them down under the 200 ppm mark, I will be dropping these ladies. The tops of these ladies are super heavy. Light cables are stopping them from bending right over and hitting the floor. These Cheese have been healthy through the entire grow. Haven't lost a single leaf and all remain healthy. One healthy strain and a pleasure to watch grow and bloom. Looks like it will be a breeze to trim up.👍

Started to worry about space in my tent, so flip time, especially given the fact I still have other strains that need to fit in here, only decided to document the Dos Si Dos as my other strains are either from cuttings and are very secret lol or they are seeds I received as samples.

We are in Flush !! Was giving them GH Flora series + rapid start + cal mag

Plant is growing well. Probably the prettiest one outta the bunch so far.

This week i found what i thought was mold. After askin around they are now sayin mealybugs. I took the plant out of tent and will now be kept indoors to flip for now. I chopped off most of her bottom that had white and sprayed neem oil last nite. Today i bought take down garden spray. Also i gotta check other plants well

05/04 - defoliated some and removed a dozen or so sucker branches. Upped nutrients to manufacturer's recommendation, plants don't seem to show nutrient burns yet - PPM was near 1400. Overall not much stretching, could have let veg another week without much problem I think. 05/10 added a small dehumidifier (vivosun - 1.3L tank.. it's small). That bubblegum is really growing nicely. With training ( no training on this at all - only topped once) it would have been a beast. Didn't clone it either - because I'm smart like that.😂 Added 2ml/L of AN's B-52 on day 20. Just happened to be feeding nutes and would have been adding that in week 4 of flower - as per AN feeding charts. Real nice trichome production on all plants. They all currently smell kind of piney - but the Bubblegum is sweeter, the Pink berry is more of a tart-ish citrus/grapefruit-y. The northern lights was just very vaguely piney. not much smell.

Let's see how it goes. I raised up the water so it is now 150ml 2x per plant so 300 per plant per day. The same with fertilization and the same days remain. I keep 14 hours darkness and 10 hours light schedule for Purple Punch obviously I take out from the tent and put separately. I can't wait to harvest the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe so I can use the tent for the Purple Punch. I give 18 hours light on so 12 hours on 4 hours off and 6 hours on 2 hours off. Basically, it was the only solution because I put the Purple Punch in at 23:00 o clock and take out at 9 am. So the light on from 23:00 to 11 am and then 15:00-21:00 and off from 21:00 to 23:00. It was the only good way based on my timeline working hours and school. I also see the first signs of flowering after 7 days of light schedule change of the Purple Punch. Hope it goes well. They have a totally different smell, both strong, but the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is like sweet and aromatic, and also like a muck heap 🤐😅👻The Purple Punch has strong smell but not sweet more like citrus. Saturday: I always had some yellow fan leaves but now it is getting more on the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe. Hopefully, it causes the flowering stage because the plant wants to use the energy for buds making and takes out of the leaves, so it is a natural process. I read that it means the plant is on the halfway of the flower. Hope the best. Tuesday: Purple Punch does well flowering, and the Gelato Cookie D'ohpe I think one more week so I will start flushing from tomorrow. I have checked the trichomes, they are cloudy, milky and the pistils started getting brown also so soon it will be done. The fan leaves also getting yellow as it can be seen so I think the next is the final week, if not then no more than 2 weeks and it is done. I can't really wait... End of this week Gelato Cookie D'ohpe is 70cm and the Purple Punch is 40 cm.

Hello Growmies, The first week of flowering has wrapped up, and I'm pleased to report that she's stretched evenly through the ScrOG. I've been doing some light defoliation where leaves were overshadowing other shoots. She's showing a clear preference for a pH below 6. Anytime it creeps above that, the plant begins to experience nutrient lockout. I'm keeping a close eye on this and will adjust the pH as necessary. Her root system is expanding robustly, gearing up for increased growth above ground. To support this, I've upped the dosage of Orca along with the boost accelerator.

Things are really starting to smell strong and getting fun. Seeing some frosty Trichomes. Excited!

Explosive growth this week. They are ready for the flip and will be going into 12/12 in two days This strain is by far and away the fastest and most heavy veg growth in the garden. Seeing some of the harvests on here (AstroBoy) makes me drool. Big thanks to OSS for the tester beans

Both germinated within 48 hours. Both were extremely vigorously growing from day 1. Temps were 80-82f and humidity 70-80%. Looking forward to trying the orange sherbet. Dubbed the sour terp monster, lets see if it lives up to the hype. My third time growing gelat.og auto from seedsman. Consistently a dense dank plant! Stay tuned.
