July 18: still recovering from the hail storm 7 days ago, but looking good. Start force flowering tonight. That means in the dark garage at 9 pm, a few seconds of 730 nm far red light to initiate ‘dark mode’ 2 h faster, and then out of garage at 7 am. So I get 10 +2 or 12 h of darkness in a ‘26 h’ day. Great trick if you have daily access to your flowering plants. July 19: added second layer of scrog net. Watered with a compost tea this morning. July 22: added Plagron Power Buds for first use. Despite the hail damage from 11 days ago, she seems to be doing fine. Need to get malted barley for use as a top dressing. Godfather OG is in the G-Wagon with Gorilla Cookies Fast.

All apple og’s are ready to smoke. My favorite was indica, couple hits from the bong and it will put you sleep. Strong strain and good genetics from pure instinto

Into 2nd day of week 3. Jealousy/Green Poison inside the Epic Attic Tent 1.2x1.2x1.6. Growing Under 'Karma EVO 3' SkyWalker OG Inside unbranded 60x60x120 Tent. Growing under 'Karma Stealth 1000'

High Intencity finish line 60-65 dli dayPronto te cortare, pero todavia hay tiempo Very close ,but not yet😎

Gave each medium around 15L water flushing, Will continue to give only water for the next 14 days or so. Flush began 30tht August.

Week 8 flower 🌸 ✅Final week before harvest. Flushing with just ph’d water for the final week. Everything looking good for harvest at the end of week 12. Some amber trichomes starting to appear on almost all of the buds on both plants so lights out any day now. Next update harvest 👨‍🌾🏻 ✌️

Zoap is doing awesome, she grows at least a quarter inch a day if not more. I’m going to do some mainlining on her. She seems good def not going to finish her before the competition ends, but oh well I will still do her justice! Until next time growmies best of luck and bountiful harvests! ✌️ 07/24/23

Everything after germination has been pretty smooth. The plants in veg had a couple small brown spots due to under watering but no extreme signs or any abnormalities.

Wachsen und strotzen so vor Kraft

Day 58 - I started seeing these yellow/brow spots, maybe its a calcium deficiency? I have been giving her calcium so it could be a ph problem. I´m also worried because my neighbor tree has leaf septoria so it could be it aswell, i will keeping a real close eye. Last night rained heavily, so today i sprayed her again w/ Botryprot. Humidity here is really high, i think it´s already helping! Next 3 days will continue raining. When raining stops, i´ll spray when possible. Day 61 - Today i fed her the above chart. We are in week 3, so i cut Fish-mix as she´s focusing on her flowers now. The deficiency stopped developing so im happy, but im always seeing crickets on my plant. I remove all of them by hand, regardless every time i get back i see 3 at least. They are loving the blueberry. Forgot to mention i added acti-vera this time, to help stalks get stronger and healthier. Let´s see how she reacts to it, when she was young she didn´t enjoyed acti-vera Day 64 - These last days have been very hot, with a maximum of 30ºC. Will feed her tomorrow at the beginning of week 4. Will keep same feeding, she didn´t complaint about acti-vera now. :)

Getting reeeeal close! Milky and a couple amber trichomes. Going to harvest this week. Chopping down these trees for Christmas lol.

Growing nicely! Second set of true leaves are forming, still only giving RO+Tap water to 160-180ppm Watering a bit more thoroughly instead of just the top inch. Got my sponsored setup too! Loving every bit of it! Thanks MarsHydro & AC Infinity ❤️❤️

Has a strong smell already in week 4 of flower

So she grew 26cm this week... Over doubling her height!!!!!!!! I think she's just entered flowering. All in all, she's growing well 😎

it was real easy to grow throughout the whole 2 stages

💎 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! 🌱💚

Happy Monday Folks! Branches are starting to sway from the weight of the growing buds. Topping up every other day with Week 8. Hands down, Bloom is my favorite phase to watch. I've uploaded a couple of videos for your viewing pleasure. 'til next time, Stay Tuned and Stay Blessed! 🙏

Last week of veg for lil Junebug. Ph water, no nutes this week to clean her roots of all the buildup. Flushed her yesterday and she’s in 18 dark hours to initiate the flip. Weekend feed will be week 1 bloom. She could easily veg and veg but we’re gonna make sure she’s got plenty of room to stretch and thrive within the heart of the HPS bulb. Appreciate the views and comments. Now the fun begins. Till next week.
