💎 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! 🌱💚

Рослина росте активно, все ще застосовую ЛСТ, на добрива реагує добре, але пожовтіння листя продовжуєтся (Я думаю, що все не так критично, бо жовтіє тільки листя знизу, яке не отримує світла) Запах став трошки сильнішим, але він все ще слабий. Схожий на якусь пряну рослину + лимон + запах зелені. Поливаю за схемою вода - засуха - добрива - добрива - засуха - вода

11/21/2020 Soaked in water 24 hours all seed fell to bottom, put in paper towel over night and 6 out of 10 have sprouted. In this cross I will be looking for powdery mildew immunity first and foremost. ( goal achieved see week 15) Also hope to make cookie cake stretch more and bring a sativa influence. 11/28/2020 One week old today 5 out of 10, 6th sprout had stem rot 60% germination. Now hope for 3 girls at least 🙏

1/14: This morning, I did a foliar application of big bloom and fulvic acid, then about 5 hours later I watered them with about a half-gallon of rainwater each and added armor si, humic acid, endoboost myco/tricho, liquid molasses, and a bunch of cal-mag. Today, I also I wired up and mounted my new samsung sun board strips (660nm/730nm) and my Solacure FlowerPower UVB fixture. I'm running the deep red/far red bud boosters a few hours per day right now, but will run them for the entire photoperiod once I start flowering them. I'll run the UVB for 4 * 15-minute sessions a day for the full flowering cycle, and if they don't protest too much I'll increase each session by 5 minutes and evaluate again. Some strains are more forgiving than others and I've got 5 different strains in this space...so really not sure much time I'll get away with exposing them to the deadly rays without damaging them too much...😈 Both "A" and "B" put on an inch overnight. Now that the soooperstunted mutant runt is acting like a normal plant, so henceforth I'll refer to her as "C." 1/15: I received one of the rapid led/growmau far red initiator pucks today. With the placement of my UVB light, I'm realizing I'll need another far red puck to have even and intense far red coverage, so I'm ordering another with Prime delivery and waiting to start flowering until I receive it. I sprayed them down really well with ph adjusted rainwater tonight to rinse off nutrient build-up from foliar applications. 1/16: I'm really excited to try flowering under 14/10. I grew photos indoors on an off for 15 years before I semi-retired. If I added up all the additional flowering time I could have done through the years if LED technology existed, I'd have had an extra truckload of bud to smoke. I did another application of Axiom Harpin a|b Proteins this evening, right before dark. I'm expecting a big growth burst this week, leading up to the flower stretch. I really need them to trigger under 14/10 within 4 or 5 days🙏 ...if not, I'll switch to 13/11 and wait a few more days🙏😟..if still no pistils are poppin, I'll go to 12/12 and chalk it up as bad luck or varietal indifference to Pr and Pfr manipulation. 1/17: I fed each of them about 3/4 gallon of full strength veg nutes. This will be the last. I'll go with half-strength veg and half-strength bloom for a week, then go with full strength bloom nutrients until I start flushing them in 6-8 weeks. 1/18: I installed the second far-red flowering initiator today and got all my timers configured for flowering: ========================================= timer#1 - power strip with qb's and red boosters 10:00am -12:00am timer#2 - (dual/independent setting) sideA- 3-way cube with uva bars 10am - 3pm 7pm - 11pm sideB- flowerpower uvb 1pm - 1:15pm 4pm - 4:15pm 7pm - 7:15pm 11pm - 11:15pm timer#3 - far red pucks 11:00pm - 12:15am timer#4 - sub-canopy tube 10am - 1pm 3pm - 6pm 8pm - 11pm ======================================== I also did some testing on the timers and sealed myself into the closet to check for any light leaks. All good.👌 1/19: Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!👍 I moved #3 into the tent with my DWC rig to veg a little longer. 1/20: I watered them today with about a half gallon each. I'm seeing calcium and magnesium deficiences here and there, so added some boomerang and heavy cal-mag-Fe along with liquid molasses, humic acid, and endoboost myco. I also foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. #3 is still vegging in my SCROG tent with the #8 FFT DWC plant. She's coming along, but still not ready for prime time.. That's it for week 4-

The buds are gaining mass really fast now and even the smaller plant looks good. I decided to take them inside because there is supposed to be a thunderstorm with heavy rain today. Really happy how they are turning out so far.

The plant in front is still looking ugly as always haha, the buds are small, they develope really slowly, the leafs look like they never had any (N)itrogen lol, had this from the start. Whatever I did about it, it never changed into a better plant. Some people talk about bad genetics, but lets keep that in between. I'm already glad these are indica's and kushes, so they can stand the cold better then a sativa kind. Sativas would already been full of budrot, molts and stopped flowering. However, the plant behind it goes really well with the colds, as expected it even got nice collors, Most of the times color will show at colder climates. I used to trick my inside plants into bud discoloration but the outside weather did it for me. I gave them less nutrients, because i want them to get it from the soil( old nutrients) and from the leafs. Because of this, the leafs have now many signs of deficiency/discoloration. They really look like other plants/trees in the autumn. It was a wise choice of me to keep adding enzymen because when it gets colder, many enzymatic proceses are slowed down or even stopped. Therefore my plants kept drinking, flowering. This was the end of week 7 of flowering. Might havest them at the end of week 8, but lets see how it goes. 9 weeks of flowering would be my maximum but I'm 80% sure i will harvest them at the end of week 8. So again, they gained beautifull colors( the pictures are ugly, will make better ones next week, they look better in real), bigger size buds and now even got decent flowers instead of pistels with leafs like most outside grows LOL.

#3 has beautiful pink buds very happy with these girls, hopefully the other two show some colour as the Temperature comes down. Have swapped the 250 red CFL for a 150 blue. May turn it off for the last week to get every last bit of pink possible! Pots have a nice wet dry cycle, have tried to hold back and not over water so I've been watering with a spray bottle. I use a 1L hand spray bottle and fill it up three to four times depending on the weather. Although it seems impossible to overeater with the breathable fabric pots. Which are awesome if I haven't said already. Perfectly fit 11 in my small cupboard which is lucky as I ordered ten as soon as he free one arrived without measuring them! Stoners eyes never lie! 👁️ Buds should be huge if they keep going at this speed! Haven't topped them for the natural look, been a few years since I've done it can't wait to see a big fat cola bud at the end!

I'm quite impressed by this week's development. The girls are starting to show their fatness. I did a flush at the beginning of the week and it helped a lot. Now I'm starting to give them less and less nuts, as they show obvious tip burns. What a big coincidence that they are both polyploids(gene mutation). I'm starting to question myself if the guys from RQS are making experiments with these types of mutations to increase yield and potency???

Clyde established itself really well after the transplant. Feeding has started this week with Biobizz Bio-Grow at half strength. Clyde was topped today at the 4th node, 6 nodes were already established, and LST has began also.

Nous sommes proche de la semaine 2, il reste 3 jours ! Les filles se développent plutôt bien à mon goût, uniquement de l’eau et le programme luminaire respecté. On peut remarquer 2 phénotypes, l’une un peu plus claire en terme de couleur des feuilles et l’autre plus foncée. Évidement je suppose que la qualité des Leds compte.. j’ai observé par rapport à d’autre journal que la plante ne s’étire pas comme d’autre mais elles sont en bonne santé c’est l’essentiel ! À très bientôt pour la semaine 3 !

Girls got topped this week. I decided to only top once due to the herming last time. But they are growing well after the transplant last week. I'm happy with the growth and we'll look to flip over the next couple weeks

Whoa another week. 07-01-2020 ( Day 116) Heat is very strong in January on this latitude. I keep the tent door open almost all the time to help ventilation. She is developing more buds from the former buds, that's waht it looks like, so if this is the way I think I had seen this befor, she would be keeping on growing new little buds from the buds that have been already formed, thus instead of packing on bud weight, she develops more biomass creating new buds and elongating the ones that we already there. Day 117 08-01-2020 Yesterday I forget to cover the tent front with the nylon layer to prevent any light leaking through the zipper and pinholes that there are all over the frontal face, the grow room is at my back, when I sit by the computer, so, the front side gets all the glow from the monitor. So I gave her a continuous long night starting at 8 pm yesterday , lights were on by 8.30 and will be off by 17. Day 119 (10-01-2020) I added 0.2g/L Boost fertilizer (High K and P) twice a week every week, until further observations or whatever. So the final mixture is 0.4 g/L Bloom and 0,2 g/L Boost, plus the other general nutrients/additives. The inlet air fan broke so I had to run to the store to get another one. I hadn't checked before (MY BAD!!) but I'm positive that it broke today. By the way, today is extremely hot! (30 ºC /86ºF) by the mid tent's height where the thermometer is) so I let the tent door open and extra ventilation (of course that microbes, spores, dust and other shit that is getting inside the grow room rampantly in the meantime). Day 111 (12/019 One thing that puzzles me is the fact that some buds are frosty but other look at bare sight, like there were no, butwith the loupe, one sees that there are in fact many of them but very tiny (I hope they'll develop a little more later). The thing is why does it look kind of a different thricome maturation?

I’ve stopped tucking over the past week to avoid snapping shoots during stretch. At this point I’m letting the plants do what they do best and focusing on environment and nutrition rather than manipulation. Once the second trellis net goes in, I’ll start assigning individual squares, spreading the canopy a bit more, and following up with a defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration. We’re currently 9 days into flower and the plants are healthy, vigorous, and drinking well. I couldn’t ask for a better run so far. I expect to see bud sites forming across all tops by the next update as stretch begins to slow and flower development kicks in.
