Week 2 - Vegetation | Black Diamond Auto Pheno A Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 12/12 From Seed adventure. This week we continue following Black Diamond Auto Pheno A as she settles into her new environment and continues building momentum for the journey ahead. As always, before diving into this week’s observations, a quick recap for anyone joining the diary for the first time. This project follows a 12/12 From Seed approach, where plants receive a flowering photoperiod from the moment they emerge. The goal is not only to explore different genetic expressions but also to document how each cultivar responds to this unique cultivation style from germination all the way through harvest. Week 2 has been another very positive chapter for this phenotype. The first thing that continues to catch my attention is a particularly interesting leaf expression that appeared during early growth. One of the leaves displayed a beautiful two-tone coloration, almost resembling natural camouflage, with lighter and darker shades of green sharing the same leaf blade. While unusual, the plant never showed any signs of stress or deficiency, and as newer growth continues to emerge, the effect appears to be gradually fading away. Sometimes plants gift us these little moments of individuality, and this one certainly managed to put a smile on my face every time I checked the tent. Beyond that unique characteristic, the overall development has been excellent. Throughout the week the plant continued building structure steadily and efficiently, finishing the period with seven established nodes. Growth remains compact and controlled, with tight internodal spacing and a strong symmetrical shape developing from the center outward. Every new set of leaves appears healthy and vigorous, and the overall architecture suggests a plant that is settling comfortably into its environment. The transplant performed previously appears to have been accepted without hesitation. Rather than slowing down, the plant responded by increasing growth speed and producing consistent new development across the entire canopy. The stem continues strengthening, leaf size continues increasing, and the root zone is clearly supporting healthy above-ground growth. Coloration remains vibrant throughout the plant. The foliage displays healthy green tones, leaf posture remains confident, and the canopy is beginning to take on the layered appearance that becomes increasingly noticeable as additional nodes develop. Nutritionally, the plants continue receiving a simple but effective feeding program consisting of Plagron Terra Grow, Power Roots, Pure Zym, and Sugar Royal. At this stage the goal is not aggressive feeding but rather providing a stable foundation for healthy root expansion, microbial activity, and steady vegetative development. Power Roots supports continued root establishment following transplant, Pure Zym helps maintain a healthy rhizosphere by assisting in the breakdown of dead organic matter, while Terra Grow provides the primary nutritional support required for vigorous vegetative growth. Sugar Royal is included early as part of the overall cultivation strategy, helping support plant metabolism throughout the cycle. One lesson that becomes increasingly clear during these early weeks is that consistency often outperforms complexity. Stable environmental conditions, proper watering practices, balanced nutrition, and patience continue to be the most valuable tools available to any grower. Overall, Week 2 has been a very successful week for Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. The plant is healthy, vigorous, structurally balanced, and developing exactly the way we hope to see at this stage of growth. The unique camouflage leaf may eventually disappear completely, but it will remain one of the first memorable characteristics recorded in this phenotype’s journey. Thank you to everyone following along, supporting the diary, sharing advice, and contributing to the amazing growing community that makes projects like this so enjoyable to document. A special thank you as always to Zamnesia for the genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, and to all growers who continue sharing their knowledge, successes, lessons, and experiences with the community. Until next week, growers love and happy growing everyone. 🌱💚

Finishing final week before the flip to flower. All three ladies looking great. Swapped out taller legs for plant stand supporting Napali Pink (NPK, 13"), compared to The Bling (17") and Mimosa (15"). I pulled all smaller nodes starting at base and working up to 1/2/3 nodes, trying to maintain a tight node spacing for future bud development. Eliminated sucker branches. Released tension wire holding down NPK to get her to catch up with other two. I should have potted up, but plan to tomorrow (Day 2 of Week 1 Flower) to their finishing size of 7 gal fabric pots. Expecting some excellent root growth, resulting in hopefully bigger buds! Mimosa - she was the one to have first caught Powdery Mildew, having accidentally left her outside when I transplanted a few weeks ago. Sprayed her down well with potassium bicarbonate/veg oil/Dawn/water solution. Eliminated PM, but some leaves burned in process. Nevertheless, she bounced back well. She is also the tallest in the bunch at 18" tall. Napali Pink (NPK) - she was added in about a week after the other two; Hawaiian cultivar of Hindu Sun/Kauai Electric/Alaskan Thunderfuck; she is also the most hardiest and was the only plant to not get PM! Attribute that to her tropical roots, making her less susceptible to PM. She is the shortest at 13". Changed out the legs of the plant stand to accommodate and bring her up to same height as others. The Bling - this one surprised me big-time! I was ruling her out initially, after suffering some bad trauma (her main stalk was damaged), which caused her to grow 3-blade leaves! Weeks passed and she bounced back. She also contracted PM, but not as bad. A very lanky strain, with some weird node spacing. Trying to tighten up by defoliating to top node on all stems. She responded well and has since started to grow normally again, with 7-blade leaves.

Didn't have a lot of time this week so she missed her waterings for a couple of days, also didn't empty the dehydrator so humidity was up a few days. Installed a second cheap blurple led on the side, but doubt this will really help much. Having some trouble keeping temps up as winter is coming and I dont have a heater in my garage

Hello my friends, ...June 24, 2022....Day N°104.. ...Flowering day N°49... My three Feminized Watermelon Candy are fine, the buds are very gud, the mutant got the biggest ones. I feed them with the Hybrid powder and some Boster from Green House Feeding Nutrients. I gave them some CalGreen from Metrop, the best Cal-Mag of the market. They are under a MarsHydro TSW 3000 at 80% of power and at 20cm of the canopy. www.zamnesia.com www.mars-hydro.com www.marshydro.eu Thank you very much for passing by. Wish you only the best with your green projects, peace. See you soon 💨💨💨

Amnesia Skunk — Week 11 from Seed (Week 7 Flower) 12/12 from seed — structure meets speed. She’s not asking for anything anymore. She’s just… becoming. ⸻ Quick Recap — How We Got Here From day one, this run has been about balance over control. 12/12 from seed set the rhythm early— No wasted time, no unnecessary stress, just a straight path from structure into flower. Stable environment. Consistent feeding. No chasing, no overcorrecting. And most importantly— We let the plants grow towards the light, not the other way around. What you’re seeing now is not luck. It’s the result of early decisions compounding over time. ⸻ Week 7 Flower — The Quiet Phase This is one of those weeks where… if you’re doing a lot, you’re probably doing too much. No major changes. No sudden inputs. No “let’s try this.” Just: – Observing – Maintaining – Respecting the process Environment remains locked: Same temps, same humidity, same feeding rhythm. Hand watering continues—intentional, controlled, present. PPFD sits around 800–1000, depending on position in the canopy. No chasing perfect numbers—just letting each plant meet the light in her own way. And she responds. ⸻ What We’re Seeing – Buds stacking with confidence – Structure holding the weight – Resin building quietly, layer by layer – Aromas starting to speak louder every day That classic Amnesia expression is coming through now— Sharp, complex, alive. This is where patience becomes visible. ⸻ What We’re Watching This is not a “do more” week. This is a “pay attention” week. Eyes open for: – Excess moisture pockets → bud rot risk – Airflow consistency through the canopy – Early signs of mildew – Any late-stage stress signals Because at this stage, small issues don’t stay small. Mr. Baggy is on full inspection duty 🕵️‍♂️ Nothing slips. ⸻ What to Expect Next Week We’re entering the refinement window. – Buds will begin to tighten and swell – Resin production will accelerate – Aromas will intensify even more – The plant will slowly start shifting energy toward final maturation No rush. No force. Just guiding her to the finish line. ⸻ Final Note Sometimes doing nothing… is doing everything. Because observation is action. Patience is technique. And restraint is part of the craft. ⸻ Gratitude To everyone following this journey— The day ones. The new ones. The silent watchers. The loud supporters. The skeptics. The believers. To the platform. To the community. To the genetics. To the partners. And to every grower out there learning, failing, improving. This is for all of you.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

Another week done. Final selection of the 3 phenotypes I found in a 10 seed run of the f4's. I am pretty confident I'll be carrying on the dark purple/red male since heavy anthocyanins production is what I was hunting for in this particular venture. Will be collecting pollen as I'm doing a good job keeping humidity low in the grow room so should be pretty viable. Will be crossing this into my winner from the ethos hash plant run as well as the rainbow belts

Hello everyone and thanks for checking out my grow! This week has been another great week with good growth. I did quite a bit of defoliation this week to uncover some of the sites that had been blocked from getting light. They have handled it really well and bouncing back in now time! My back left plant is starting to show some really pretty buds, I need to get get my camera figured out and get some better pictures because I feel sometimes my phone just does not do them justice. I can tell a big difference from my first grow and this grow at this point, just the difference in the buds and how I have trained and defoliated has been much better for sure. I know I still have a lot of experience to gain, but I really enjoy learning and thriving to produce the highest quality cannabis I am capable of. I learn a lot from a lot of you guys so thank you all for being awesome. I have still been keeping my EC relatively low, slowly increasing each week and also altering topping the res with mixed nutrients or RO water plus calmag. It seems to be working pretty well. My PH stays pretty stable although I did have to make one adjustment last week where it rose on me a little more than normal, but we have been staying in that 5.9-6.1 range else wise. My EC is also stable this week right around 1.0, will be going to around 1.1 Friday when I change my water and nutrients. Humidity has been staying pretty constant around 55, there was a few times it got up to low 60s because I fell asleep and didn't empty my dehumidifier in lung room, but was only a couple hours here and there so no biggie, no signs of any issues. They are really starting to pack on the trichomes as well though and when I first open the tents when the lights come on I am hit with a wonderfully sweet pungent smell! I am super excited to continue to watch these girls finish! Just going to keep sticking to the plan and monitoring these girls! See you guys in a week. As always, any tips, comments, and recommendations always welcomed and appreciated. Thanks! 👊👊

4/26: I top-dressed their pots with about a tablespoon of Happy Frog Cavern Culture and watered it in really slowly with about 1/4 gallon of water each. I added cal-mag, humic acid, liquid molasses, silica. I started them on open sesame, too. Increased Ph to 6.40 to ensure that they can utilize the increased calcium and the P and K I'm giving them now. 4/27: I did a little bit more training on the big one, but I like the way the small one is growing. I may end up spreading her branches a little bit, but she's fine for now. 4/29: They are both stretching pretty well, but the bigger one looks like she's gonna spread out and try to take over the closet. 5/1: I gave them a little water with cal-mag, boomerang, humic acid, and silica. 5/2: I sprayed them with boomboom spray this morning...grow bitches, grow! 5/3: I did a slow-soak feeding today. Backed off the nitrogen a little more, increased silica, and started adding sweet & sticky and signal.
