Happy Mother’s Day. 5/13 Getting weird like bright neon orange pistils. I personally think it’s way too early to have pistils changing colors already. 5/16 fairly certain it was wind burn. My humidity was jacking up and my fan was trying to compensate. Changed settings and we should be golden now. Plant is frosting up hella already. I think there’s more frost than there are pistils 5/18 day 20 of flowering. Last day of week 2

Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A 🌱💎 Germination Week | A New Journey Begins Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome to another new journey. As some of you may have noticed, I’ve recently adjusted the way I document my grows. With the current photo limitations on GrowDiaries, each phenotype now receives its own dedicated diary rather than sharing a single journal with its sisters. This allows me to continue documenting every stage of development while selecting the best photographs from each week and keeping everything organized from seed to harvest. The goal remains exactly the same as always: To create an honest, educational, and complete record while sharing observations, successes, lessons learned, and everything in between. Today, we begin following Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. Another seed, another story, and another opportunity to learn. ⸻ Beginning the Autoflower Chapter The photoperiod section of this project is already underway, and now the autoflowers continue joining the garden one by one. Autoflowers have always fascinated me because they follow their own timeline. No flip. No waiting for flowering signals. No changes to the light schedule. They simply grow according to the clock built inside their genetics. That makes every day of development important from the very beginning. For this run, we’re following Black Diamond Auto from Zamnesia Seeds, cultivated under a 12/12 from seed schedule from the very first day of life. A method that is a little different from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my own cultivation style over time. Throughout this diary, I’ll explain not only what I’m doing, but also why I’m doing it, allowing anyone interested to follow the process from beginning to end. ⸻ Germination Using the Cannakan System To begin this run, I used the Cannakan germination system. For organizational purposes, the autoflower section was germinated using my second Cannakan unit, while the photoperiod section used the first. The methodology itself remained exactly the same. Simple. Organized. Reliable. The seed was placed inside using only plain water. No nutrients. No additives. No stimulants. Just water. Within approximately 24 hours a healthy taproot had emerged and the seed was ready for planting. Exactly what we hope to see from healthy, vigorous genetics. ⸻ Why Only Water? One question that often appears during germination is: “Why not feed the seed immediately?” The answer remains simple. The seed already contains everything required for its first stage of life. Inside that shell are the energy reserves needed to establish roots and begin development. At this stage, I prefer allowing the seed to use those reserves naturally. The objective is not to feed the plant. The objective is simply to wake it up. Water is enough. Nature has already prepared the rest. ⸻ Coco Starter Plugs Just like the rest of this project, the seed began life inside a coco starter plug. The plug was fully hydrated and then gently squeezed to remove excess moisture while maintaining a healthy balance between water retention and oxygen availability. Once germinated, the seed was carefully inserted into the plug and placed inside a humidity dome. The dome remained useful for only a short period. Within less than 24 hours the seedling had already emerged and was ready for the next step. At that point, she was transplanted directly into a small container filled with Plagron Lightmix. ⸻ Environmental Conditions Environmental conditions remained intentionally simple and stable. Temperatures stayed around 26–27°C. Humidity was maintained between approximately 65–70% using a Spider Farmer humidifier. Rather than keeping seedlings inside extremely humid conditions for extended periods, I prefer introducing them relatively early to the environment they will actually experience throughout their life cycle. The objective is adaptation. Not dependence. Airflow remained extremely gentle. Just enough movement to keep fresh air circulating without creating unnecessary stress. ⸻ Lighting Lighting during germination remained intentionally soft. Young seedlings simply do not require intense light levels at this stage. The goal is healthy establishment rather than rapid growth. Once properly established, this girl will move under the Future Of Grow Black Series 600W full-spectrum LED system where the next stage of development begins. For now, healthy roots and healthy growth remain the priorities. ⸻ First Observations Everything has progressed exactly as hoped so far. Fast germination. Healthy taproot. Strong emergence. Healthy color. Good vigor. And perhaps most importantly: A healthy beginning. At this stage every seedling is still a mystery waiting to reveal itself. That mystery is one of the things I enjoy most about growing. Every seed starts with potential. Every phenotype writes its own story. And every journey begins here. ⸻ Looking Ahead Over the coming weeks we’ll follow Black Diamond Auto Pheno A through every stage of development. We’ll document: * Root establishment * Early growth * Environmental management * Watering practices * Structural development * Flowering progression * And whatever unique characteristics this phenotype chooses to reveal Because every seed deserves the opportunity to tell its story. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along for another seed-to-harvest adventure. Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚

I popped the seed direct into coir then mist sprayed. It was about 3-4 days before they popped above the surface. I will start feeding from now at half strength.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 17/11/2019 - Pot feels light and the is bottom dry to the touch time to water, gave her 1,5l of water PH 6.2 with 0.5ml Grow, 1ml, Bloom and 0.5ml Max Biobizz reduced the dosage from last time, watered util some runoff appeared. 18/11/2019 - Mixed another batch of Alg-a-Mic 2ml per liter to spray on lights off PH 6.2

An in to soil she and her sister testers go, i know that for know everything looks the same , apart from the photos, but this will start changing with them growing. For now all of them are growing pretty much the same and now that they move in to soil and start feedings they will start showing the phenotype and genetic differences, but for now all looking great , healthy and strong af!!! Haded a intro video from seed in to now, including how i transplant and what i use wen doing it so, and from here the moon is no limit for this babes i believe , so stay tuned as this testers they promise to be a interesting ride <3 <3 <3 They grew amazing for only a week fast and vigorous, all the testers for now look very the same <3 <3 <3 As always thank you all for stoping by and for supporting me on this journey, i am super passion about growing and fell blessed to have you all with me on this new journey <3 <3 <3 Genetics - Fast Buds Tester 08 09 10 11 Ligth - LUMATEK ZEUS 465 COMPACT PRO

5-27 Day 43. flower week 3, day 2. When she wakes shell get the yummie brew tea! Growing well. Did another defoliation. Sheesh! So on one of the branches, it kinda looked like a double tip. Well it most definitely split almost like a top. My guess is from my lockout. Cal/mag made them compete. Makes for some cool pics. Even did a before and after defoliation. 5-31 Day 47 Umm maybe due for a top dress. 🤣 Drinking good and battling ph. well maybe both ph and hunger. oops anyways watered at 5.8 just a tad run off. 7.8 uggg. but what helped also is ppm was 1200 so def mad at me so she’s Hangry at me! 🤣🤣 taking leaves as needed. have a great day and don’t forget to feed your plants!!!

End of week 22: Overal it was a good run with the Shamans from @DutchPassion_Official . Didn't had mayor problems besides having to harvest them earlyer. I really wanted to flower them another 2 weeks but the weather/climate didn't allow me to. Still the buds came out decent as you can see for an early harvest. I will cure those buds for some time in my pots before they get smoked and will update how much weight I got out of the two plants. As you can see I made the bigger buds smaller. There is no use for me to keep big buds for showing off. Big buds just have big long stems in it, harder to dry and to fill your cure pots with.

Temp and humidity stable. Ready to push 2nd half of veg. I’m mixing training techniques but confident I can get an even canopy. Trellis ready as a back up

We have a stand out! There is one beautiful girl that is showing some beautiful colour, structure, frostiness, and fade ❤️ they are all very dense and frosty but this one girl has stolen the show. I cut their nutrients to almost nothing after running phd water for two waterings consecutively, still a few more weeks to go. I’ll be starting my routine soon if just phd water, but in a slightly higher volume to start breaking up any pockets or salts that may have been forming. Thanks for stopping by, won’t be long! 🇨🇦❤️👊

Hello growmies 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾🌲🌲, 👋 We're now the last week, Buds continue maturation, they are fat and frosty 🌲❄️, look very yummy 😋😋, No water this week, One of my favorites of this grow and very resistant, she didn't be bored by the high temperature. Harvest tomorrow. 💡Mars Hydro - SP 3000 80% 54 cm. 🔥 Thanks community for follow, likes, comments, always a pleasure 👩‍🌾👨‍🌾💚🌲.

Tag 68: Ein letztes mal entlaubt 😃

This past week has been a blast! After getting these ladies nutrition straightened out, they are thriving!💚🌱💚 I gave defoliated wayyy more than what I see other growers traditionally doing. After the "3rd and final haircut" I defoliated two more times 😅 Thank you the GD community for the support and resources along the way 🙏 My only concern now is the tent actually becoming too crowded.😆. Other then that I am thinking it should be smooth sailing these next 6 weeks or so. 🏴‍☠️😎🏴‍☠️ Happy Growing! 💚💪🌱😎🌱💪💚

She is growing amazingly and now stretching in the first week of flower. This one is gonna be big as AN Auto flowers, I love them like this. If I had more space I would scrog her or do some more LST to promote the lower brwnches, but this is not my goal in this grow. Next week I'm gonna do some heavy defoliation.

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Girls are moving forward without troubles, i'm pleased not having to deal with issues. I'm breaking down the feeding schedule like: Sensi Base + Bigbud*(or pk booster) + Recharge > VeloKelp+Natures Candy+Bigbud*. So there is constant feed, every other day mixed in 1.5l water. Once a week i give Cal Mag 2ml /l. Not touching the girls with any HST or stress since I switched to flower. Is the first time i'm running recharge from the beginning to the end, have to say that is solid. ------GG.AK47 COMMENT------ What a pleasure to see that many colas and a vibrant girl giving fruits! 😎👊 I'm very curious to see the results in this one, solid strain! Aroma is gasy and diesel like.

3 dernier jours avant rinçage, demain je met pour la dernière fois les nutriments, l’odeur est à tomber par terre surtout la runtz qui sent le bonbon 🍬 🍭

12 weeks / 84 days old today. So my first grow journey is coming to an end! Not a lot to report this week. Been using my jewellers loupe daily to keep an eye on the trichomes and can definitely see a big difference. (Sorry, pictures are crap - don’t have enough hands to get a good one!) Still watering with plain water but they’re taking a lot less and only been watered every 4 days or so. Sticky orange has lots of cloudy trichomes and starting to get a few Amber. Her leaves are drying off so she is getting harvested before the weekend. Purple skunk is a bit behind so I think I will wait and see how she goes for another week or so. I always thought she’d be the one to finish first too. I think I will be drying in the garage. We are consistently getting 18 degrees outside now but with the temperature drops at night, I am not sure whether to bring the buds inside overnight. I’ll be drying in a hanging ‘herb’ dryer and I have my curing jars all labelled and ready to go. Thinking of wet trimming roughly then going in for a final dry trim later once dry to neaten them up. Drying advice welcome! I did think I’d have to harvest in stages and chop the lower buds later on. But even the bottom buds look like they’ve caught up this week. I have honestly enjoyed every second of this grow and I’m almost disappointed it’s nearly finished. But at the same time, I can not wait to see (and taste) the final result!

Welcome to my Mataro Blue Diary sponsored by Kannabia & Mars-Hydro. Flower Days 43-50 Days 98-105 Putting on nice bit of mass. Lovely buds and structure. Have been keeping her on heavy PK boosters. Buds are lovely. Nice and sticky. Very dense with dark orange pistils and packed with long Trichomes. I'd say there's about 5-7 days left. Diet Short Flowering + Atami PK boosters with a few of things from Plagron. Lights SP 3000 + IR/UV45 Used to great affect. Love this duo and what it provides is just astounding. Thanks to my sponsors from Kannabia & Mars-Hydro for their support and products. Much appreciated to all those who viewed, liked &/R commented. Look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by.

Still feeding full strength. When the calyxes swell I will stop feeding for a few day to a week to allow for senescence to take place.

Nothing interesting to say... I just added some Humic Acid Plus and Growzyme to my More Roots from Green Buzz in my Terra Soil Mix with every watering. 🎼 The plants just woke up into this world, so to celebrate their birth and welcoming them as the princesses they tend to become, I decided to play some Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf & Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake on a Bluetooth speaker during each watering or simple courtesy visit I made. Yet notice that Rossini's Barber of Seville & Vivaldi's Four Seasons was used as a booster during the second part of the week.
