She looks ok 👍 Looks like beginning fase of amber, not yet, but still, very close! Lil bit.... Got a few days more

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 2 Flower | Hidden Elegance Begins to Shine Not every exceptional plant demands the spotlight. Some quietly earn it. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B has continued doing exactly that throughout her second week of flowering. While her sister naturally catches the eye with her explosive presence, Pheno B keeps impressing through balance, structure, and effortless development. Watching these two sisters grow side by side has become one of the highlights of this project. They share the same genetics, the same environment, identical nutrition, lighting, irrigation, and gentle training, yet each expresses her own unique personality. That, to me, is where the magic of phenotype hunting truly begins. Like every plant in this project, she has been grown using my favourite method: 12/12 From Seed. From the very first day above the soil she has lived entirely under a flowering light schedule, allowing her genetics to dictate her natural architecture without an extended vegetative period. There has been no topping, no high-stress techniques and no aggressive manipulation. Only patience, observation, and gentle guidance. Low Stress Training has simply encouraged the branches to open naturally while allowing the plant to grow toward the light exactly as she wanted. Week after week she continues proving just how capable this technique can be. 🌱 Environment Another stable week has allowed every bit of energy to be invested into flower production rather than environmental adaptation. 🌡️ 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 Consistency remains one of the greatest advantages inside this flowering room. Healthy roots, stable temperatures, continuous fresh air and reliable irrigation create an environment where the plants never need to recover—they simply continue growing. When the environment stays predictable, the genetics can truly express themselves. 🌿 Training & Canopy Management The philosophy hasn't changed because the plants haven't given me any reason to change it. Gentle Low Stress Training continues guiding the canopy while regular leaf tucking keeps developing flower sites exposed without sacrificing valuable foliage. There has still been no defoliation. Healthy fan leaves remain the plant's solar panels, converting light into the energy required to build flowers over the coming weeks. Rather than removing them, I simply reposition them whenever necessary, allowing light to reach lower bud sites while preserving as much photosynthetic capacity as possible. Sometimes restraint is the best form of training. 🌾 Feeding Program Flower production is now accelerating, and the nutrition program continues supporting both continued stretch and increasingly active bud formation. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom • Plagron Power Buds • Plagron Sugar Royal • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Green Sensation Everything remains beautifully balanced. The foliage stays deep green without becoming overly dark, growth remains vigorous, and there are no visible signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses. She's clearly comfortable with the current feeding schedule, and when a plant tells you she's happy, the smartest decision is often to simply stay the course. 💎 Phenotype Spotlight This week Pheno B continues showing exactly why documenting individual phenotypes is so rewarding. Standing at roughly 160 cm, she's keeping pace with her sister, only fractionally smaller, while maintaining the same elegant, upright structure. Her branches remain evenly spaced, giving every developing flower site excellent airflow and light penetration. One characteristic has become increasingly noticeable. Although Black Diamond Auto is heavily indica dominant thanks to its Blackberry × Diamond OG lineage, this particular phenotype is expressing surprisingly slender, elongated leaf fingers. It's a subtle reminder that even in highly indica cultivars, recessive traits from the genetic background can occasionally step forward. She may be genetically around ninety percent indica, but those beautiful leaves seem determined to celebrate the remaining ten percent. And honestly... I absolutely love that. The flowering sites themselves are developing beautifully. Fresh white pistils continue emerging along every branch, while the calyxes are beginning to stack one above another, slowly creating the framework that will become long, continuous colas over the coming weeks. Every internode is now actively producing flowers, creating excellent spacing that should allow impressive bud development as flowering progresses. Even more exciting is the very first appearance of resin. It's still far too early to judge aroma or trichome production, and I certainly won't pretend otherwise, but a light sparkle is already beginning to appear across parts of the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves. It's only the opening chapter of what I hope will become a wonderfully frosty finish. Sometimes the earliest frost is simply a promise of what's still to come. 💡 Welcoming Lumiflora This week also marks another exciting step for the flowering room with the introduction of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system. The goal isn't to replace the main lighting overhead, but to complement it by delivering additional light into areas that naturally receive less intensity beneath the canopy. I'm looking forward to seeing how the extra light influences lower flower development, bud density, and overall canopy uniformity during the coming weeks. As always, I prefer to let the plants tell the story. Rather than making bold claims before the harvest, I'll simply continue documenting the results honestly and allow the final flowers to speak for themselves. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect vertical stretch to begin slowing as the plant redirects more energy into flower production. Those individual clusters of white pistils should continue connecting together as the calyxes swell, gradually transforming the elegant framework she's built into long, well-defined colas. Resin production should become increasingly visible, while the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting begins revealing whether additional light below the canopy can further improve lower flower development. I'll continue with gentle leaf tucking whenever needed, keeping the canopy open while allowing every healthy fan leaf to keep powering the plant naturally. If she maintains this steady pace, I think she's going to reward patience in a very big way. She's never tried to be the loudest plant in the room. She's simply focused on becoming one of the best. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these fantastic Black Diamond Auto genetics, to Plagron for continuing to support every stage of this journey with an incredibly reliable nutrient line, and now also to Lumiflora for joining the project with their under-canopy lighting system. I'm genuinely excited to document how this additional layer of lighting influences flower development over the remainder of the grow. Finally, my sincere thanks goes to the amazing GrowDiaries community. Your encouragement, thoughtful comments, and shared passion for growing are what make these weekly phenotype journals such a pleasure to write. Following two sisters side by side, watching them reveal different expressions of the very same genetics, is one of the greatest reminders that every seed has its own story waiting to be told. Until next week... Growers love and Happy Growing! 🌱💚

The Mandarin Squeeze sisters smell just like Mandarin oranges. Hence the name. She has been busy bulking. She is looking pretty good, and full of frost. I am rather eager to try them when the time comes. For now she will work on bulking some more. It's already looking like it will be a killer flower.

Week 4 started some last and dropped my pH to try and stay to 5.5 ordered a spyder airstone and scroll net to scroll out this week growth has suddenly exploded since adding great white and lowering res just don't know about that leaf changing onto two more buckets Thursday hopefully that will sort it might have to trim a bit what u reck? This site has really helped me thankyou guys

Settimana prossima aggiorno con le ultime foto e con il peso secco ma già posso dire di aver superato i 500gr con 6 piante sotto 600w 😉

Los últimos tres días de la semana pasada fueron cruciales , han evolucionado super bien, espero poder mejorar esta semana enormemente Le voy a aplicar enraizante de top crop y top veg cada uno 2 ml por litro de agua , esta semana para poder mejorar mas aun el crecimiento Actualizacion de la semana Su crecimiento han sido notable, la altura del foco la bajaremos para ver si podemos subir la temperatura Actualizacion Estos ultimos 4 dias han sido un huracan de crecimiento, ayer en la noche la ampolleta de haluro que ocupaba para el crecimiento de vegeta se quemo y bueno siempre tengo otra ampolleta por si acaso pero esta es una ampolleta que sirve para todo el proceso de vida! el color es amarillo por eso de aqui en adelante estaran coon esta luz que nos acompañara hasta el final si es que no explota tambien jajaaj

The buds start getting thicker and thicker. Currently I feed the plant with 1.5 EC. This trichomes are mostly clear and starting to get cloudy. Here and there are some amber one's, but they look tiny and old, not sure what happend there. As of now I am planning to give the nutrient solution for at least a couple of days, but I also want to make sure there is one week where I can only give water to maybe get some more colours out of the plant (I really hoped for it to be purple?).

Nun war es aber wirklich Zeit für den Umzug in den Endtopf. Ich denke mit der neuen Erde werden die kleinen auch schon bald wieder frisch aussehen. Noch stehen sie auf der Vegiseite, werden dann aber auch bald auf die Blüteseite umziehen. Da dort aber noch die autos unter 18h stehen, dürfen sie dort erstmal noch ein bisschen was an Höhe zulegen, bevor es in die Blüte geht.

Day 37: The girls are growing fast and strong! They also seems to have turned into flowering state now. Everything seems good. Ive been recommended to just let the girls do their job from now, and I won't touch them for awhile, but I think I soon will give them some more nutrients as they are now in flowering state.

Day 29. Taking very well to training. Day 33. Growing at a nice pace. Taking well to anything I throw at her.

Did some tie down on the side branches to help with light penetration. When I touch her, she gives off a amazing lemon sweet fuel smell, very intoxicating can't wait to cure it. Hairs are starting turn. She has been loveing a 6.8- 7 ph as well. Had a healthy feed. Added norish-L (humic acid). @ 2 drop/L

The heat is getting to her, all leaf foliage gone, the buds are browning, I'm keeping an eye on the trichomes all ok so far. Big yeild 3 week 5, seams to be more bud sites, the main stem is higher than the reat but spread out so will c how she flowers.

I won't say anything! look at the photos and videos and you yourself will understand everything! namely that this is just a cool bush!

Well moving as planned kept her in only 6hr of direct sun rest of day in shade tgen night.. And sge flowered.. In middle of summer full sun cycle and im still able to prove WITHOUT DIRECT sun/light cannabis will flower ( photoperiods ) ..i cant afford her to get too tall... She grows very fast topped twice now sge has branches on top of brancges.. Only thing to do now is take some of her leafs but not now.. Love this genetics.. Very stable grows with no issues none...perfect thru her stages . now the stacking of flowers..

📆 Semana 5 La estructura se mantiene firme y ya se intuye el potencial de las puntas: los cogollos apuntan a ser grandes, con abundante emisión de pistilos y un apilado de cálices cada vez más marcado. La densidad comienza a sentirse al tacto y la resina gana presencia día tras día. La asimilación continúa estable, hojas activas y sin excesos, acompañando una demanda que ya se orienta claramente al engorde. El aroma se intensifica y confirma que la fase de carga está en marcha. Semana de proyección y consolidación del volumen floral. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

No update last week sorry got busy. In week 10 of veg they were cruising along and got bushy as can be from the heavy Defoliation. I wanted to give them a chance to really recover unlike usual before doing any more cutting or defoliating. Now we are in week 1 of veg and the single GMO Zkittlez needed nutrients so I gave it 21 ml/g of the A and B, 9 ml/g of Voodoo and Bud Candy and 10 ml/g of Cal-mag plus since I know it's a heavy feeder from growing GMO sherbet in the past. The rest will be getting the listed nutrient mix this week on their next watering. I defoliated them heavy this week again to allow any branches to stretch to the net that want too. I also took off any branches that were dying from being severely shaded, that just would be in the way later on, or were not worth keeping. I added in some green lacewings (eggs as we speak) to keep any pests at bay and prevent any future issues as part of my new organic IPM regimen. Everything looks amazing and I can't wait to see the end result!!

At the beginning of this week, I have been fighting the gnats, which are less and less now. Just some watering and gradually lowering the light and going to full power. The Orange Hill Special has been filling out great and I must say, she is a pretty plant. With some manual bending and super cropping, I'm bending the longer stalks sideways and we are off. What I actually do is more of an intuitive hybrid between mainlining (where I bend the whole plant 90 degrees at the third week), LST (where I bend branches outward slightly, without tying), HST / Super crop (where I bend the stems 90 degrees with the clips or manually), after which I keep bending outward to SOG and, put the net over to end in SCROG. This same method gave me the canopy in my prize-winning Gelato 33 grow. Check it out if you haven't seen it, it was my first experimental accident that led to beta test of Super Soil mixture 0.7, now we are at Alpha version 1.00 and testing great so far if I say so myself. I haven't seen such lush greens in my own grows, only outdoor. They seem uber-healthy and resilient, with very sturdy stems and leaves. Way more resilient than previous strains I tested in the beta soil. The light is performing, the natural color of it makes everything pop. Mars Hydro has a winner with the SP-3000. Check out their site: www.mars-hydro.com Thank you @MarsHydroLED for letting me test it, hook them up for a great deal or info on their products! Halfway through this week, I took the clips out, AND...... we switched them to go into flowering. After a day the stretch is already visible. I had to bend them again after a couple of days. Now we have almost a tent filling foundation for a maximum result canopy of buds. I was wanting to amend the soil with flowering additions (see recipe in yellow image), but I'm holding it off for two reasons. A/ The leaves are still so green and lush, I think there is an abundance of nutes. B/ @Haoss mentions his suspicions on his OHS grow (@#CannapediaProGrowersCup Orange Hill that very sadly went hermie on him) that nutrition in this phase could have had an influence, after asking what happened to him. I would have loved to see that grow to full harvest. But it makes me a bit cautious. if Haoss (whom I consider to be one of the star growers here) couldn't prevent this, what chance have I? I'm waiting until the girls start asking for nutrients. They'll show me what they need in their own time. For now this soil is the shizzle (also quite literally) and Im happy with how everything is going. I remember much more hassle and steering in the last grow. This grow, even the Gorilla runt seems happy. I now water them 3 liters of water / Perma tea mixture every 4 days, every 3rd watering I don't do the tea. This makes for fewer gnats and this soil seems to hold water nicely, also due to the hydro corn. What I like is there is always some unforeseen circumstance, a tilt of the tables, some battle to be fought which delivers in big harvests or, in worst case, no harvest at all. It makes it more exciting, when your heart is at stake, we pour a lot of love and attention in the ladies. So with hopes, but not too high, we go into flowering. Thank you all for joining me again in this Orange adventure! I hope you all had great weeks, germed seeds, extreme growth and buds bursting with trichomes!! See you next week! Hug Bud PS Sunshine made her first appearance, as she promised on the Gelato 33 grow. She is still a bit camera shy, so her digital alter makes an appearance first, if you all want to see more of her and my other helpers, let me know in the comments. Sunshine will make a real appearance if yall are real nice to her.

Hello again guys and welcome to day 89! The girls are taking their time but finally the trichomes are turning milky. As you can see from the videos, they still aren’t quite there yet. I really want them to reach their maximum potential instead of rushing it. I think in maybe a week or so they should be ready! Thanks for stoping by
