17.05. I don't have anything special to say, of course the weather is terrible... it's 6-7 at night, 15-16 during the day, so they're inside... the temperature inside is 20-21 during the day, at night from 15 to 17 when it's this cold... the plants were exactly 3 weeks old yesterday, today they entered the fourth week and most likely they will wait inside for the fifth week as well because the weather is terrible and there is no point in transplanting yet. Stay High!

Cropped Thursday evening, 3/4 days before necessary for complete maturation. Better to lose 2 ounces of weed now than having the plant destroyed by the storm later on. Yeld is below the expectations. Wet weight after 1 day fro crop (buds cleared of leaves) 2.91 lbs (1320 grams). This is caused partially by my pheno (pheno #1 sativa-like, low yield and high THC) and by some mistakes I've done: 1- position in the garden (too close to the sisters) 2- I haven't considered the change in the sun's trajectory and inclination from August onwards. 3- too much LTS (but I was obliged to keep plants short and bushy) 4- underwater (this is my fault, I always tend to keep plants on the verge of thirst. I dug up the roots and the plant actually needed a lot more water). Now she's gone I'm more relaxed and concerned on Special Kush #1, the next week crop and Pineapple Kush the October harvest. Without Royal Gorilla the smell around the home is reduced by 70%. Dry trimming. All buds have been washed before drying and will be dryed very very slowly in a strictly controlled environment. Stay tuned for the next week or 10 days , a generous crop is comin'.... with Special Kush #1. See you in a couple of weeks for harvest results and smoke report. Happy growing folks

I used half the recommended dose of Indo products for each plant through this grow. The monkey juice is half recommended making it every week rather than full dose every two. The sticky bandit was fed with it every week at half dose till later on

Week 7 - SB Gorilla RF3 Is doing good I defoliated a lot of the lower leaves this week. Only having issues with 2 out of 5. The mutated one seems to be going down pretty rapidly. These are flowering fast wishing for the best.

Hi there peeps, This week went great and they are really growing vigorously. The GSC is really stalky and is the hardest to controle but I'm managing. On the other hand, the Runtz requires little care to grow uniform and is a breeze to grow so far. The Monster Zkittlez has recovered nicely from her stress and is catching up with the other 2. I could not be more pleased atm. I also found out that if I feed with BioCanna Vega, the solution's ph levels out at 6.6 so that is one less worry. Next week it's switching time so stay tuned. Have a good week growmies!

25-3-2023 Colors are starting to be more pronounced as she comes to her final week or not. Probably looking to a Good Friday Harvest of those sweet smelling eggs. 💪😎 Minor Feeding as she goes into Shop Vac Flush next week. Harvest just around the corner.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A | Week 1 Flower | A Diamond Beginning to Shine Every grow has one plant that naturally draws your attention, not because it’s demanding, but because it quietly keeps outperforming expectations. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A is quickly becoming one of those plants. From the very beginning, she has shown remarkable vigor, stretching confidently while maintaining excellent health, strong branching, and beautiful symmetry. Now, as she officially enters her first flowering week, she’s proving exactly why documenting individual phenotypes is so rewarding. Although every plant in this project shares the same environment, feeding program, lighting, and training philosophy, every seed expresses its genetics differently. Black Diamond A has chosen height, elegance, and relentless vertical growth, creating what is already becoming one of the tallest structures inside the tent. This grow continues using my favourite challenge: 12/12 From Seed. Rather than extending the vegetative stage, every plant is flowered from the day it emerges, allowing each phenotype to naturally reveal its own strategy for growth, stretch, and flower production. It creates a unique opportunity to compare genetics while maximizing efficiency inside the grow room. ⸻ 🌱 Environment Just like the rest of the flowering room, Black Diamond A has enjoyed another week of remarkably stable environmental conditions. 🌡️ Day Temperature: 31.1°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 72% 🥤 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 21.6°C ? Root Zone Temperature: 21°C ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm Rather than chasing perfect numbers every day, I focus on creating consistency. Stable root temperatures, balanced humidity, continuous airflow, and healthy root-zone oxygenation allow each plant to dedicate its energy toward growth instead of constantly adapting to environmental fluctuations. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Canopy Management Training remains intentionally simple. Throughout the week I’ve continued using gentle Low Stress Training while regularly tucking large fan leaves behind developing flowering sites whenever needed. No defoliation has been performed so far. The goal isn’t removing leaves—it’s allowing them to continue acting as efficient solar panels while simply repositioning them to improve light penetration and airflow. As new flowering sites develop, small adjustments are all that’s needed to expose each future cola without unnecessarily reducing the plant’s photosynthetic capacity. With such vigorous vertical growth, this approach is producing an open canopy while preserving every bit of energy available for flower production. Sometimes patience is the best training technique. ⸻ 🌾 Feeding Program As Black Diamond transitions fully into flowering, her feeding schedule continues to bridge vegetative growth and bloom development. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Grow — maintaining enough nitrogen to support the final stretch. • Plagron Terra Bloom — increasing phosphorus and potassium availability as flower production accelerates. • Plagron Power Roots — keeping the root system active and healthy throughout the transition. • Plagron Sugar Royal — supporting terpene development from the earliest stages of flowering. • Plagron Pure Zym — improving nutrient uptake by recycling old organic material around the root zone. • Plagron Power Buds — encouraging the hormonal transition into full flower while maximizing bud site initiation. This balanced nutrition allows the plant to continue stretching strongly while simultaneously investing energy into building the foundation for the weeks ahead. ⸻ 💎 Phenotype Spotlight Black Diamond Pheno A has become one of the true standouts inside the room. Standing at approximately 100 cm, she is among the tallest plants currently growing under this project, displaying a graceful structure with long internodal spacing and exceptionally vigorous vertical development. The flowering transition is now well underway. Fresh white pistils are emerging across every branch, and bud sites are beginning to stack from the lower nodes all the way to the main apex. Rather than producing isolated flowers, she’s already showing excellent distribution across the entire plant, promising multiple productive colas instead of relying solely on the main top. What impresses me most is how effortlessly she carries her size. Even with her height, the branches remain well balanced, the stem is thick and healthy, and the overall structure feels surprisingly stable. She has responded beautifully to gentle LST, opening the canopy naturally without ever looking stressed. There is still plenty of stretch left, but the focus is clearly beginning to shift. Every day more pistils appear, every node becomes more defined, and the framework for what could become a very productive harvest is steadily taking shape. Sometimes a plant doesn’t demand attention—it simply earns it. ⸻ 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect Black Diamond A to continue stretching while the early flower clusters begin merging into recognizable bud formations. Leaf tucking will remain the primary form of canopy management, helping maintain even light distribution without removing healthy foliage. Nutritionally, the transition toward a full flowering program will continue as her appetite increases and flower production accelerates. If she maintains this pace, there’s every reason to believe she’ll remain one of the dominant plants in the room throughout the remainder of the cycle. The structure is there. The health is there. Now it’s time to watch those flowers begin to fill every branch. ⸻ A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make projects like this possible, and to Plagron for supplying the outstanding nutrient line that continues supporting these plants through every stage of development. Finally, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following this journey week after week. Your comments, questions, encouragement, and shared passion for growing are what make documenting every phenotype such a rewarding experience. I hope these individual journals help demonstrate just how unique each plant can be—even when they’re raised side by side under exactly the same conditions. Until next week… Growers love and happy Growing! 🌱💚

She's filling out nicely and is definitely due for a haircut...she has about 1 more week of stretch and in week 3 we like to do a heavy defoliation (and remove the ties). she's currently sharing the flower tent with (and is 10 days behind)our mystery strain... thanks for reading friends 🐱❤️

Strain is actually very easy to grow so i would recommend it even to begginers. Robust plant that did very well on topping, hst and lst training. Buds are thick and heavy. They release very pungent and piney smell with deep tones that reminds grape. After a week of drying i did some bud testing and i would describe the high as awesome physical stone with a bit of euphoria and happiness. Cant wait to cure the buds for a couple of weeks. Peace and be safe!

👑 Godfather OG – Pheno A Week 5 | The Giant Begins to Wear Her Crown Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of my favourite things about documenting every single phenotype individually is watching how differently each plant interprets exactly the same environment. Same room. Same lighting. Same feeding philosophy. Same genetics. Yet every plant develops her own personality. Godfather OG Pheno A has quickly established herself as one of the giants inside the tent, standing proudly above many of her neighbours while beginning the exciting transition into flowering. She’s becoming impossible to ignore. ⸻ 🌱 The Journey So Far For those discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed method. Rather than extending the vegetative period before changing the light cycle, every plant has received a consistent 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness from the very first day of life. This allows every phenotype to determine its own natural timing. Instead of deciding when flowering begins… …the plants decide for themselves. That is one of the most fascinating parts of this entire experiment. Although every plant shares the same environment, no two stories have unfolded exactly the same. ⸻ 🌸 The Transition Has Begun This week officially marks what I’m considering Week One of Flower. She’s living in that beautiful transition where vegetative growth hasn’t completely stopped, but flowering has clearly taken over. Fresh white pistils are now appearing throughout the canopy, confirming that reproductive growth is well underway. Those delicate white hairs are the first visible signs of future flowers. Over the coming weeks they’ll multiply rapidly as each flowering site develops into what we all hope will become dense, resin-covered colas. It’s one of the most exciting stages of the entire grow. Every day brings noticeable changes. ⸻ 🌿 One of the Giants of the Room Standing at approximately 75 cm, Godfather OG Pheno A has become one of the tallest plants in this entire project. Her structure is beautifully balanced. Strong stems. Excellent internodal spacing. Healthy branching. The Low Stress Training carried out during the previous weeks is now beginning to reveal its purpose. By gently bending stems and opening the canopy instead of forcing aggressive structural changes, light is reaching more growing tips while the plant continues developing naturally. Every adjustment made earlier is now beginning to pay dividends. Sometimes patience truly is the best training technique. ⸻ 💧 AutoPot Feeding System This phenotype is growing in one of my AutoPot systems. The AutoPot works through a remarkably simple but effective device called the AquaValve. Rather than operating on timers or pumps, the AquaValve automatically refills the tray only after the plant has consumed the available nutrient solution. In other words… The plant decides when she wants another drink. This creates an incredibly stable root environment while reducing fluctuations in moisture and nutrient availability. As flowering begins, the feeding program has also evolved to support the transition. Bloom nutrients have now joined the schedule while maintaining enough vegetative support to fuel the final stretch before the plant focuses entirely on flower production. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The room continues performing exactly as planned. Current averages include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 67% • Nutrient solution: 21.6°C • Root zone: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Humidity remains slightly elevated during this stretch phase to support vigorous growth and healthy transpiration. As flowers begin stacking over the coming weeks, humidity will gradually be reduced to create the ideal environment for dense, healthy blooms. Maintaining environmental stability is every bit as important as feeding the plants themselves. Healthy plants are built through consistency. ⸻ 📷 This Week’s Gallery This week’s photographs document her progress from multiple perspectives. Close-up shots highlight the first pistils emerging across the growing tips. Side views reveal her impressive vertical growth and balanced branching. Bird’s-eye views showcase an increasingly even canopy thanks to the weeks of gentle training. I’ve also included updates from inside the room together with controller readings to continue documenting every aspect of this project as accurately as possible. Watching the room evolve week after week is becoming just as rewarding as watching the individual plants themselves. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect the stretch to continue as flowering becomes fully established. More white pistils should appear across every branch, and the first true flower clusters will begin forming as the plant shifts more energy toward reproduction. Training will remain gentle, with only small adjustments made where necessary to maintain an open canopy and maximize light penetration. The real building phase is only just beginning… …and I have a feeling this lady has plenty more to show us. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every diary, every photograph, every update is part of a much bigger story, and I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who chooses to be part of it. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document, learn and inspire one another. Zamnesia for providing the incredible genetics behind this phenotype hunt. 🌱 Plagron for supplying the nutrients that keep these ladies thriving. 💡 Future of Grow LED for providing the light driving every stage of development. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment throughout the entire grow. And finally… Thank you to everyone reading, commenting, supporting, asking questions, sharing advice, or simply following along. Whether you’re a grower, a learner, a supporter, or just curious, you’re part of this adventure too. I’ll see you all next week as Godfather OG Pheno A continues her journey from vigorous growth into what promises to be a spectacular flowering run. Growers love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱👑💚

This is the 8th week. Thursday will be 9 weeks of 12/12. Some trichs are amber. They just added a good bunch of girth over the past few days, but most of the pistils are red now. The rest of them have been dropping leaves consistenly but the canopy remains full so they must be putting out more leaves. I just flushed to 80% runoff and found out that I had 1200ppm. I just got an ec meter but my last reading said closer to 600 so idk what happened there. I flushed until I had runoff ppm of about 150. Now they're back in the grow tent. I don't want to keep assaulting them with my microscope. I think they're ready. Just gonna let them settle another day or two to dry out a bit. I took one small branch off the small Wedding Cake plant on Thursday and I've just been watching it dry on my counter. It's been 5 days and the stem snaps but still leaves a fiber connecting. I put it into a small jar with a 64RH thing. I just want to try it. It already smells amazing. The leaves on the big CBD Blue Shark plant are going really yellow and some other colours are starting to come out as well. The buds all fattened up and got more frosty again. I was worried they were foxtailing but they got more calyxes underneath the peaks and have been making more of a pyramid shape. They're really close to peak. Harvest day will be March 17 or 18. March 17 1023pm chopped and hung after lights off all day. RH was 65% before I chopped and 50% after I closed the window and cut the plants off the saturated pots. I did a wet trim to prevent mold. The buds are sticky af. Gonna hang them to dry for 7-9 days before curing in jars :) March 18 : checked the RH when I woke up and it's chilling at 45% 😎 March 19 : just checked to see how they were drying. There are seeds in every plant. RIP I'll update when I put them in jars and again a few weeks later for final review. Overall it was a good grow despite the rocky start and a good introduction to the mainline technique and my new grow space. Next grow I should have everything pretty well dialed in. March 23 They were hanging for 3 days. Rh was around 45, then spiked to 65 overnight when I forgot to turn the fans back on. Temp was high at around 26.they felt wet after 2 days, and bone dry after 4 days. The stems still didn't snap but I put them in jars anyway. A day later, jar RH was 50%. I burped all the jars and there was a smell from the new jars. I took all the weed out, washed out the jars, and did a dry trim on the weed. One of the Wedding Cake plants must have gone hermie. I didn't see any bananas and didn't even realize there were seeds until the very end. The seed pods looked just like calyxes while the plants were growing. Many of the nugs are unusable. Under the sugar leaves are just layers and layers of seeds. Some weren't hit that badly. The CBD Blue Shark is much better off but still has some seeds. I'm trying to stay positive. It's a bit of a shock though. I'm anxious to try the finished product. If the flowers at least taste good and have a good effect, all is not lost.

Day 53 and the second candy kush is done

It's week five of flowering, and Blue continues to develop very well. The smell is slowly becoming more intense. Keep it IZI 💚
