Bonjour à tous les padawans et les maîtres jedis La semaine 4 est déjà là! Décidément cette plante est vraiment exceptionnelle! Elle représente la force et j'en suis fier 😍 Je me donne pour defi que durant mon LST je fasse faire au tronc un tour sur lui meme. Ma plante est saine le LST ce passe relativement bien je l'ajuste tout les jour je le combine avec la technique du pincage d'Apex cela me permettra d'avoir une canopé plus homogène donc une meilleure pénétration lumineuse et par conséquent un meilleur rendement. Le pinçage est une pratique courante en horticulture. Beaucoup de cultivateurs l'utilisent pour améliorer le rendement de leurs plantations cannabiques ou autres. Il est souvent question de 'taille' des bourgeons apicaux. Cette taille se pratique également mais il n'est plus alors, à proprement parler, question de pinçage. A l'instar d'une taille, le pinçage va permettre de stimuler le développement des ramifications tout en préservant les sommités en vue de la floraison. Il est très utile pour uniformiser une canopée. Pour réaliser le pinçage, il vous suffit de presser 'fermement' la tige [entre le pouce et l'index] aux environs de l'apex jusqu'à sentir un léger 'crAck'. Cela aura pour résultat d'endommager les vaisseaux impliqués dans la circulation de la sève [situés dans le pourtour de la tige], la tige conserve toutefois une certaine rigidité. Pour obtenir le même résultat, il est également possible de vriller légèrement la tige sur elle-même. L'interruption du circuit d'alimentation entre le ou les apex et le reste du plant va provoquer un déséquilibre hormonal qui aura pour conséquence le développement des ramifications antérieures au point de pinçage. Jour 25 j'arrose mon pot normalement avec un quart de son volume en eau toujours avec un PH de 6.3 à cette eau j'ajoute 0.7 gramme de greenhouse feeding enhancer pour favoriser son développement racinaire. Par la suite je n'aurai plus qu'à ajuster mon LST jusqu'au stretch et surveiller mon arrosage, Je pincerai mes apex suivant la pousse de la plante pour uniformiser la canopé. Jour 26 à force de patience et de délicatesse j'ai réussi le défi que je me suis fixé en faisant faire au tronc un tour sur lui meme (photo jour 26) ce défi ma permis d'améliorer grandement la technique du LST. Au-delà de ça cela ma permis de donné au tronc une structure en forme de colonne vertébrale ce qui a pour conséquence une meilleure pénétration lumineuse et une belle canopé homogène. Que la force soit avec vous 💪

Week before Harvest 💪💪 Leaves yellowing up nicely 🔥 Smells lemony/earthy in the grow area. Happy with everything so far.

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. 🌱💚

2/4: Photo session day! Both of these girls do seem to be mostly sativa, as billed. The have a very pungent aroma..not quite normal. I removed most of the lower fan leaves. I had a total infestation of Cattus (felis) which I documented in my photos. Eradication seems impossible, so I'm opting to allow a degree of predation, but hoping trichome production will, at least, deter them soon.😁 2/5: I fed everybody today with about 3/4 gallon each and sprayed them down with Axiom harpin proteins for the last time this run. I made a DIY CO2 generator today using a 5 gallon cat litter bucket, a small aquarium pump, some air line tubing, and a bubble stone, plus 6 cups of sugar and 30 grams of wine yeast in 2 gallons of warm water. I put the tube where the CO2 is exhausted up against the back of the oscillating fan that aims down over the plants so they are being constantly forcefully bombarded with high levels of CO2(1300+ppm) from above. I set the ac infinity controller to allow the temps to climb up to 89f before the fan turns on. 2/6: These girls aren't stretching much, but continue to spend energy on their lower branches. I bought some Gro-Pro pot risers to elevate the pots so that they will dry out faster..seem pretty effective. 2/7: I foliar fed with big bloom and tiger bloom today. 2/8: I ordered a second 6" AC Infinity fan to connect to my controller, some ducting, and a diffuser which I'll mount to the wall, down near the floor. The fan unit will be in another closet, adjacent to the garden closet, and I'll run ducting up through that closet ceiling into the attic, with a filter on the end to keep bugs and particulates out. For the next 6 weeks or so, it will provide a supply of colder fresh air. I did the math, and it will now only take about 1 minute and 40 seconds to completely exchange the air in the closet. Depending on the outside air temp at the time, it should take anywhere between 8 and 20 minutes for the closet to heat back up to 80f and the fans to kick back on again. This Spring, on days when it's warmer than 72f outside, I'll disconnect the duct in the closet and stretch it into that bedroom, clipped to the window unit air conditioner output, cranked down as low as it will go. This Summer, I'm gonna just run a pair of the quantum boards and grow 4 or 5 autos in there, but this should help keep the temps cooler in summer as well, without dedicating an air conditioner to the grow op.🙏 2/9: I foliar fed them with grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom and checked moisture in their pots. They're due for a good watering tomorrow.

Hi all, Welcome to my🍌💜👊 week update Thank you so much for all support on this bananas journey. Much appreciate all your likes, follows and comments. 🙏💚❤️💜 Week 13 Jan 8- Jan 14 This was another amazing week. Girls are behaved very well. Drinking their juice like crazy. 2 waterings of 9ltrs on Jan 10th and Jan 13th. Runoffs at ph 6.2. Buds are gaining some serious weight and the trichomes development is of the charts. Girls are covered with frost. Trichomes are mainly milky now with individual ambers here and there. On Jan 10 noticed on one Athena top colas a white topped bud! It's something that has never happened to me. It may be only led bleach or it's something abnormal and phenomenal. It's white and has red and amber pistil hairs in between and all covered with trichomes. Few days after. White coulour is not spreading and not seeing any damages. The smell in my cabinet its insane. Very sweet scents. I wouldn't say bananas but definitely sweet berries and gummies 🤤 new dehumidifier doing an amazing job. Humidity when light is on is between 49-54% and 52-58% when lights are out. It's all looking that my 🍌💜👊 girls will be ladies very soon. Harvest is coming big time. Next week planning to gradually cut nutrients down and prepare for flush. Stay tuned for new week update very soon! Peace and love brothers and sisters ✌️💚👨‍🌾 Links https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/banana-purple-punch-auto https://plagron.com https://www.biobizz.com/ https://fishheadfarms.com/

Weekly update on these beautiful ladies. A little late on the update I was out of town for the weekend and couldn't get to it before I left. They're Growing amazing and wow did i come back ti a jungle. They'll definitely be getting a defoliation and lollipop this week as it's needed. All in all Happy Growing

I did this beautiful girl a toping, depilation, and LST, she feels good.

Lemon Cherry on the left is still getting more purple in the buds and got darker and thicker leaves than the papaya on the right side. The papaya gets light, shiny buds, almost with a bit of neon green and neon pink in it. Its hard to see in these pictures and videos.

What I thought to be a cal deficiency at first glance appears to be rust fungus or leaf septoria, but nothing rubs off of the spots, which confuses me. I freaked out and tore the hell out of the plant my buddy left on my doorstep, stripped all the freakin spotted leaves. I'm hesitant to toss it, dont know why, I did notice spots on 2 other plants, barely, bastard being one of them. Ill be keeping a great hawk eye on them, ready to pluck anything I notice with a rust spot or toss that one plant out of there if I see too much appear. I need to grab some neem oil as well. Maybe I shouldn't run the tent sealed anymore, as I think it could be a big reason for the fungus. I never let humidity get over 60 and I had pretty decent air movement, but they are squeezed in there. I'm freaking scared. Nothing rubs off these spots. My run off PH has been low which makes me think calcium still. Guess I'll do some big-time flushing. Flushed all with 6.8 water until run off reached 6.5, roughly 10-12 gallons each. I'll l feed them tomorrow. Usually, I flush around day 45. I was trying to see if i could get away without doing so, with that scrog n all. Whew, I was trippin out there there, after reading n shit I got thinking the worst, should've stuck with my original diagnosis. I'm sure they'll be ok.👍 Zipper broke off the tent the other night, so it's now "sealed" with a red blanket🤣

-Sensi Seeds Research: The Sensi Seeds Research breeding project has created eleven cannabis seed varieties. How? By combining new cannabis cultivars with a selection of strains from their long-established cannabis gene bank. For the first time in thirty-six years, they are opening the doors of the Sensi Seeds Research and Development Department. Week #12, week 4 of Flowering. The ladies are starting to smell very strong, it’s smells like living plants and fresh THC. Genetics are still doing great, no signs of weird buds formation or any signs of hermies, nothing can’t go wrong on this side now. I just need to keep an eye on the buds and under the canopy to pick up some few old dying leaves. Switching to Bloom nutrients, following Cellmax feeding recommendations, to give them everything they need at the right time with the right amount. It’s nearly the time to switch the dehumidifier on, to control RH levels to avoid any mold. Stay tuned folks 😎 (I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control 🐞)

Has some external high temperature lead to temp rise inside causing some tip burn my fault ! , had a lazy few days stretching of plants was more than intisapated not normal for led but got high as 31f inside grow tent , then weather changed high humidity now settling at 24f humidity 45/50 Hopefully lots of flowering to go 🙏

Buenass, novena semana de los esquejes. Los dos van muy bien, se ven bastante frondosos y les hice su ultima defoliación a los dos hasta el día que empiece ciclo 12/12 que les haré una leve para entrar a florar. Al esqueje del LST le aplique la técnica supercropping a su rama principal, con esto logre bajarla y que este mas cercana a la altura de los demás tallos. La planta reacciono muy bien a este estrés y ya está como si nada. Durante esta semana le haré la primera aplicación de Delta9 que es un estimulante floral, esto lo aplicare vía foliar y a los 10 días se cambiara el ciclo a 12/12. La temperatura esta semana a estado mas helada y la que viene será lo mismo pero por el momento las plantas se ven muy bien. Cualquier recomendación será bien recibida!!

Week 7

Buds werden immer dicker, Klebriger und süßer im Geruch Cold Flush wird anfang nächster Woche einmal durchgeführt

We cut her early due to a block off in the autopot system.. but she was frosty as a mofo for being cut way to early and the taste was surprisingly very sweet with a piney/spicy kind off aroma and taste

This plant is an example of top shelf genetics. With very little effort on my part aside from some basic LST on the bottom 8 branches this lady became a serious bush of colas, but with more than enough space for ample light exposure. Smells like sweet spices and kush with an undertone of citrus. Heavy feeder and a quick finisher.

Set up Scrog in the start of the week. Foliar fed with CalMag + Iron 3 times this week. Defoliated lower shoots and fan leaves mid week. Raised ph in reservoir to 6.1 because the runoff was coming out at 5.2 ph. Now the runoff is at a steady 5.6 ph.

Week 8: Veg – Final Setup & Runtz Breakthrough 🌿 System-Status: Kompletter Nährlösungswechsel (35L) für den Endspurt der vegetativen Phase. • pH-Wert: Stabil bei 6.1. • EC-Wert: Konstant bei 1.24 mS/cm. • Wassertemp: Optimal bei 19,9°C. Nährstoff-Konfiguration (35L): • Basis: Osmosewasser + CalMag (Grund-EC 0,45). • Hesi Hydro Wuchs: Volle Dosis laut Leitfaden. • Hesi Wurzel Complex: Reduziert (da Wurzelballen bei beiden Strains nun ausreichend etabliert). • Hesi Power Zyme: 70 ml. • Plagron Silic Rock: 35 ml (Vorbereitung auf den Blüte-Stretch). Pflanzen-Update: • AK47: Unverändert vital, kräftiges Blattwerk, bereit für 12/12. • Runtz Lake Cake: Wurzel-Durchbruch bestätigt! Die Aufnahme läuft jetzt effizient, sie zeigt deutliches vegetatives Momentum.
