Happy healthy plants..., Grow Your Own!

Everything’s trucking along nicely so far This week. I cleared out under the first net this week and stripped there bottoms down. Lol I also was forced to do another defoliation up top this week as it was insanely crowded again, 3 days later and it’s gonna need it again to put the top screen on. Crazy foliage on these girls. I had a friend pass away last week so stuff kinda got put on the back burner, shoulda had the top screen on already. They are also so bushy and crowded I had nowhere to train the larger branches coming up in the middle so there are a few popin up over the canopy here and there. Gonna have to remember to flip this strain earlier if I give her a go again. Looks like I got 2 pheno types as well, 3 are bigger and stretched up more and 1 stayed low and is a bushier girl. I think it will all be good in the end though, no big hiccups yet. Cheers💨

Bueno, ya desde la germinación hasta 1 semana antes de terminar el vegetativo estuvo para atrás de Runtz. Después empezó a demostrar su grandeza en tamaño y producción, estoy admirado y pensar que vino de regalo de parte de zamnesia, unos capos los tipos. Debo probarla....

Had no issues at all with this girl.. she's growing lovely. I have removed the bigger fan leaves so the lower flower heads can catch up. I wanted yo top her but at this stage I'm not chancing it.. She's actually at 3 and a half weeks. This week maybe early next week she's due to flip into flower. So only good things to come.

Still working on my canopy. I did some defoliation in order to encourage growth at the bud sites and improve circulation. I have 3-4 weeks until her sister is mature enough to flower. I took a gamble and germinated another seed two weeks ago because the one I originally planted with her turned out to be male. I hope it will be mature enough to produce a decent yield. Even though it will only have been growing for 4 weeks. By that time I expect most of the bud sites on the older plant to have grown through the trellis, and I should have a nice even canopy. The second plant will just be grown as is with very little training. I don't want to slow its growth at all.

Chopped her two days into week 14. What else. Buds. There are a lot of them. And they are quite large. And they look like they will require little effort to trim. What more can I wish for? I am a very happy man. Upd 1: Trimming is SO SIMPLE! Not much sticking out to begin with, because of the amazing bud structure and me plucking most bud node fans. Solid nugs which are not bothered by anything, so pulling smaller sub-bud fans is very simple too, while the buds are what I would call moist. I'll call this Moist Trim 😄 ✂️✂️✂️ Went for the best trimming tools available on the market (well at least my research concluded so) and LOVING every minute of trimming with the B-500SRF. Why would I or anyone else use something less suitable or less comfortable for such a delicate and long job is beyond me, except if you cannot afford one right now, in which case I wish you to experience it one day. Fiskars are also very good in therms of the blades, coating and cutting ability and precision, but the spring is just too stiff, like way, way to stiff for something that is to be used for hours on end. One might argue that such spring force helps overcome resin buildup, but please just rinse your instrument regularly in an appropriate solvent (ethy, iso, whatever — consider you instrument materials as well) and wipe it after. Why would you let significant amounts of resin to accumulate on such a gentle and precise tool? Kinda defeats the purpose?

💎 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! 🌱💚

Température 14-28degres 7 cm stretch belle couleur beau buisson pompon bien apparent !

Oct.29 - We transplanted the girls into soil since they are moving into vegetation phase Nov.4 - Watered each plant 250mL, 0.25mL of each nutrient for each girl

This week my blue widow start to show some deficiencies !! The little pistil are turning brown but the buds aren’t mature. 🧐 hope it’s not mold !! I saw that could be excess of nutrients !

hey friends 👋 today is the start of the 5th week. in a few days she will be 1 month old and i couldn't be happier 😄 she performs well, showing her rapid growth. she stretched for 25 cm only for 1 week i couldn't imagine her full potent, lucky for me the grow tent is big enough 😄 😄 started to add bio bloom and top max along with bio grow - she eats everything u give. alongside this nutrients also add some Calmag forgot to say some words about smell - it's becoming intense and start to hesitate me, so i'm planning to buy carbon filter soon. everything good. wish everyone a good week, and will be glad to see you 👍 and comments here 😊

Official entry for the Best Tiny Pot. "Mephy" the Piggy Dank. Custom design/print, so she's Ultra Rare. Her grow volume is also a WHOPPING 220.9 ml / .05835 g / .0002209 m³ 😅 /// Planning to run her like a very small / fast bonsai. Going with a Mephisto "Freebie": Strawberry Nuggets x Forum Stomper. Good luck to everyone else! You all inspired me to jump in. ✌️🌱 Edit: 10/4/22 - Taproot came out 10/6/22 - Soil break

Perfect for make extracts, bubble hash or edibles

Woche 19 – Blütewoche 4 Diese Woche war weniger spektakulär als die letzten – zumindest wenn man meinen Zeitraffer fragt. 😅 Der Stretch scheint nun endgültig abgeschlossen zu sein. Im Vergleich zu den vergangenen Wochen bewegt sich das Blätterdach kaum noch nach oben. Stattdessen beginnt die Laughing Buddha sichtbar damit, ihre Energie in die Blüten zu stecken. Die einzelnen Budsites werden kompakter, die Blütenstände verbinden sich zunehmend entlang der Triebe und die Harzproduktion nimmt ordentlich Fahrt auf. Gerade auf den Sugar Leaves ist mittlerweile schon eine schöne Schicht Trichome zu sehen. Für Blütewoche 4 kann ich mich über die Entwicklung der Buds definitiv nicht beschweren. Ganz zufrieden war ich diese Woche trotzdem nicht. Das Sorgenkind: die Blattfarbe Bereits in der letzten Zeit wurde das Laub zunehmend heller. Einige ältere Fächer zeigen inzwischen deutliche Chlorosen und teilweise kleine braune bzw. nekrotische Stellen. Anfangs hatte ich vor allem die Nährstoffversorgung im Verdacht. Rückblickend habe ich aber wahrscheinlich selbst einen Teil zu dem Problem beigetragen. Also wurde diese Woche nicht einfach blind weitergedüngt, sondern erstmal genauer hingeschaut. Ich habe meinen pH-Pen neu kalibriert und anschließend Wasser und Erde überprüft. Mein Leitungswasser liegt ungefähr bei pH 7,7 und ist ziemlich hart. Zusätzlich habe ich eine Bodenprobe angesetzt, um besser einschätzen zu können, was tatsächlich im Substrat passiert. Auch beim Enhancer musste ich feststellen, dass ich ihn bisher nicht ganz so eingesetzt hatte, wie ursprünglich vorgesehen. Dazu kamen zeitweise ziemlich hohe Lichtintensitäten und durch die heißen Tage teilweise entsprechend hohe VPD-Werte. Kurz gesagt: Wahrscheinlich war es nicht der eine große Fehler, sondern mehrere kleine Faktoren gleichzeitig. Und ja – auch solche Sachen gehören für mich in ein Grow-Tagebuch. Fehler passieren. Entscheidend ist, sie zu erkennen und daraus zu lernen. Mäh sin hier ja nit bi Wünsch dir Watt. 🤣 💡 Licht & Klima Bei der Beleuchtung habe ich diese Woche ebenfalls nachjustiert. Die Gorilla hängt jetzt ungefähr 50 cm über dem Canopy und läuft bei 91 %. Am Sensor kommen damit rund 890 PPFD an. Damit bin ich wieder ziemlich genau in dem Bereich, den ich für die weitere Blüte haben möchte, ohne der Buddha unnötig noch mehr Stress aufzudrücken. Die heißen Augusttage haben die Klimaanlage ordentlich beschäftigt. Zeitweise ging die Temperatur deutlich nach oben und damit auch der VPD. An den gemäßigteren Tagen ließ sich das Klima dagegen wesentlich besser kontrollieren. Fütterung & Bewässerung Zum Übergang in BW4 bekam die Buddha wie geplant ihren Green House Feeding BioBloom Topdress. Anschließend wurde mit Enhancer gegossen. Danach hieß es erstmal: beobachten. Ich möchte jetzt nicht den Fehler machen, wegen der hellen Blätter ständig weitere Änderungen vorzunehmen. Bereits geschädigte Blätter werden ohnehin nicht plötzlich wieder dunkelgrün. Viel interessanter ist, ob sich das Schadbild weiter ausbreitet oder nach den vorgenommenen Änderungen stabilisiert. Auch die beiden Bodensensoren waren diese Woche wieder ziemlich hilfreich. Man sieht mittlerweile sehr schön, wie schnell die Pflanze ihren 45 Liter Topf leerzieht. Am heutigen Gießtag konnte man anschließend sogar unmittelbar verfolgen, wie die Bodenfeuchtigkeit nach oben sprang und sich das Wasser anschließend im Substrat verteilte. 🌸 Blütenentwicklung Und während ich mir über irgendwelche gelben Blätter den Kopf zerbreche, scheint die Buddha selbst davon relativ wenig beeindruckt zu sein. 😅 Die Blütenentwicklung läuft weiter. Viele Tops tragen mittlerweile klar ausgebildete Colas, die Buds werden zunehmend dichter und vor allem die Harzproduktion gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut. Gleichzeitig stehen noch Unmengen frischer weißer Pistillen heraus. Da ist also noch sehr, sehr viel Luft nach oben. Der Unterschied zwischen Pflanzen- und Blütenbild ist momentan fast schon absurd: Einige Fächer sehen aus, als wollten sie mir unbedingt mitteilen, dass etwas nicht stimmt – und direkt daneben sitzt ein komplett bereifter Bud und sagt: „Keine Ahnung, was dein Problem ist.“ 🤣 🎥 Zeitraffer der Woche Nach dem Stretch der letzten Wochen hatte ich diesmal mit einem spektakulären Zeitraffer gerechnet. Tja. Absolut unspektakulär. 🤣 Aber beim direkten Vergleich zwischen Anfang und Ende erkennt man trotzdem die entscheidende Veränderung: Die Höhe bleibt nahezu konstant, während die Blüten langsam an Volumen gewinnen. Und eigentlich ist genau das die beste Nachricht dieser Woche. Der Bau des Gerüsts ist beendet. Jetzt darf sie fett werden. 😏🌳 📋 Fazit Blütewoche 4 Keine perfekte Woche – aber wahrscheinlich eine ziemlich wichtige. Ich habe beim Licht nachjustiert, meine Wasser-/Bodensituation genauer untersucht, die Düngung aufgefrischt und dabei auch ein paar eigene Fehler bzw. mögliche Fehlentscheidungen gefunden. Jetzt werde ich nicht hektisch weiter korrigieren, sondern der Pflanze erstmal Zeit geben zu reagieren. Denn trotz der auffälligen Blattfarbe macht die Laughing Buddha genau das, was sie momentan machen soll: Sie baut Blüten. Und davon verdammt viele. 😍 Auf in Blütewoche 5.

1/19 1am MONDAY...TOO STONED TO TYPE..WHAT THE HELL IS THIS THEN..HEY SHUT UP....WAIT...IS THAT ME?😂 1/19 5 AM.🚨 I GOT THE HOLY TRIANGLE OF WEED THE WHOLE FUUCK'N TRAILER PARK IS HERE!!!!! Finally got black tea Tangie in the ground so Julian bubbles and Ricky are all growing with Montel and ice t. 1/20 1:20PM VEGING PERFECT AT 30 WATTS!!! 1/21 10:11 AM. The whole fucking park is here. Julian sprouted!!! Bubbles and Ricky are doing great. I’m gonna top them and then I’m gonna start them over from clones so they grow roughly the same time as Julian and I’ll keep the Ricky and the bubbles others as mother plants and I’ll just keep them going. 1/21 10:15 AM vegging 12 inches 30 W Samsung LED Mars Hydro light perfect 121 1:10 PM I moved black tea Tangie into the germination station. The 2 gallon fits in here just fine. This will be fine for germination.. She’s sprouted only after about 40 hours so she’s really strong.

Things are moving along nicely.i introduced my central air into my tent this week so it's keeping at 50r.h. and around 80 degrees with co2.these girls drink alot I split one gallon every day and they are drinking it all.lol.they aren't bone dry but when I lift them up to check they are pretty light.

Day 42. Huge disaster !!!! i stucked at my house on the lake for 7 days, normally i water them every 4-5. This girl got biggest damage, her leaves folded like stairs on the pot. leaves were brittle and dry as paper. Lost a lot of foliage. If i would need to recomend most forgiiving strain - thats the one, girl coped with all the shit i gave her ... Happy Growing !!!

Alright guys so here's to last week My first time doing sweet seeds And I must say it was really awesome Yo, I ran my first Cream Mandarine XL from sweet seed and at the very beginning thought she was going to die, she was sad and having it rough but with lots of caring she came back to life and even better, this is also one of the longest autos and the tallest I've had with many colas, Im still learning so I should probably train them better in the long run once I get to run another one, well if you look into my profile at my grow diary I'm running gorilla XL right now and I'm training her little by little, more precisely I'm making sure she's getting plenty of light so we don't waste any single spot of energy once she's got to bloom!! But hey we keep talking bout cream Mandarine XL and it's sad to say goodbye but it's also her time, she's got to the point of no return and we've got to take her out Thanks a lot for everything pretty girl You rock and I love sweet seeds Thanks a lot for those good good smokes Sweet smokes to all of you running them genetics also thanks a lot to the whole community who supported me in the whole process I do appreciate it Also thanks again sweet seeds Apollo for your support letting me run your genetics and given the opportunity to show the world my farming level Hopefully with the great people around I will become better :') Alright now time to harvest this girl Peace and love brothers If you got any questions just shoot
