More Flowering! The rest of the strains started to catch up, but nanners started showing in the hermies and TP started to overripen with orange hairs. I would've gone extra days if there were no nanners, but it wasn't worth it to risk seeding the nugs, I'll just have to settle with more larfy buds. Going to start flushing next week.

Este cultivo fue unos de los primeros que hago, fue una buena experiencia ahora a esperar a que se seque

🌱First Grow🌱 🗓️17/12/2021 Hi. This time of the year my work gets Hectic!! Did not share any new images this week. Still managed to water regularly. Thanks for reading. 🌍 Weather:☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️⛅⛅ 🌱Nutrients: Fish tank water as nutrients: (K)

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower and i bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , the zkittlez did stay alot shorter and compact compared too the rest , but she has had the shame conditions than the rest , so she much just be a shorter pheno type i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , this lady stayed very short and compact and didn't really stretch much at all and it by far the smallest plant of the bunch ,

7 week of flowering.. Cockies kush leafs beutifull coloring from red to purple.. critical full of resin.. two more weeks i think🙂

Nice harvest 🙌🙌 and a beautiful girl to watch throughout her life cycles

Saturday 16-11-24 , Flowering day # 53 week 8. Harvest day! Cut branches off plants & hung the 2 front plants off the light. Put scrog net back in with a large flyscreen laying on top, & spread branches from the back plant over it. This allows complete air flow around the buds. Running a single oscillating fan beneath pointing to the bottom. Temperature is around 24°C & RH is 55%

Got the SCROG set up from netting we had around from a batting cage setup. The holes were a little small so we did some cutting and got everything working nicely.

Very nice plant to grow. Beautiful flowers covered with trichomes. The smell is very lemon citrus flavourt. She gave a bit of a stretch. I think she isn’t the biggest yielder but definitely quality over quantity. Later on the results. Very pleased sofar! I underestimate the density of the buds. Dry weight 375 gram of 5 plants. Pheno number 2 yielded almost 100 gram! Powerfull lemon flavour with a touch of sour. Running pheno number 2 again!

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 12 | Big Mama Has Entered the Room 💎👑🌿 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And... LOOK WHO FINALLY GOT HER PHOTOS. 😂📸💎 After last week's little photographic disaster... "I forgot her." Then... "WAIT! I FOUND THE PHOTOS!" 😂😂😂 ...we are officially back on track. And honestly? I'm very happy we found them. Because Black Diamond Pheno B deserves to be seen. She's impressive. Very impressive. She's not necessarily the most glamorous girl in the room. She's not the one that immediately screams for attention with every single flower. She's not trying to compete with her sister. But there's something about this girl that keeps making me stop and look. She's BIG. She's substantial. She's powerful. She's filled her space. And at this point... I've started calling her: Big Mama. 😂💎👑 And honestly? It fits. She's Big Mama in her own way. She's got that presence. That "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere" kind of presence. She's standing there... beautifully doing her thing... and becoming more impressive every week. So this week... let's finally give Big Mama the spotlight she deserves. 💎👑🌿🔥 ──────────────────────── 💎 WEEK 12 – BIG MAMA IS SHOWING HERSELF ──────────────────────── Last week we were talking about the girl the camera forgot. This week? No such problem. 😂📸 The camera found her. And I'm very happy it did. Because when you actually look at the photographs... you can see how much plant we're dealing with here. She's big. She's tall. She's developed. She's carrying a substantial amount of flowering structure. And she's got a presence that's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. She's not necessarily the prettiest girl in the room. And I'm perfectly happy saying that. Because beauty isn't the only way a plant can impress you. Some plants are delicate. Some are elegant. Some are frosty little jewels. And some... are Big Mama. 😂💎👑 She's impressive. That's her thing. ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA HAS HER OWN PERSONALITY ──────────────────────── I think we've finally found the right nickname for her. Big Mama. 😂💎 Because she's not trying to be flashy. She's not trying to steal the spotlight. She just keeps getting bigger... and bigger... and more substantial... and somehow every time I look at her I think: "Okay, Mama..." 😂 She's got her own personality. Her own structure. Her own pace. Her own way of developing. And that's exactly what we've been trying to document throughout the 8×8 Adventure. Not every plant needs to be spectacular in the same way. Sometimes the character is in the structure. Sometimes it's in the size. Sometimes it's in the flowers. Sometimes it's simply in the presence of the plant. And Black Diamond Pheno B? She's got presence. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S A BIG GIRL ──────────────────────── Looking at these photographs... I think the word "substantial" is probably the safest description. She's filled her space. She's developed vertically. She's carrying flowers throughout her structure. And when you step back and look at the entire plant... you realize just how much she's actually built. She's not a tiny plant hiding somewhere underneath the canopy. She's right there. Standing tall. Doing her thing. And honestly... I'm still impressed by her. Especially when I remember how differently she started compared with her sister. Pheno A became the obvious star with those ridiculous "every cola is a main cola" structures. Pheno B? She took a different route. And now... she's become Big Mama. 😂💎👑 Different story. Same genetic family. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE STILL DEVELOPING ──────────────────────── The flowers continue to develop throughout the plant. And this is something I really like about her. She's not just one impressive top surrounded by empty space. There are flowering structures distributed throughout her architecture. Upper areas. Side branches. Lower sections. Different levels. Different angles. And together... they create the overall presence of this girl. She's becoming more substantial by the week. And that's really what I want to watch now. Not some dramatic change. Not some sudden transformation. Just... continued development. More flower. More structure. More density. More personality. Week by week. 🌸💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 💎 SHE MAY NOT BE THE PRETTIEST – BUT SHE'S IMPRESSIVE ──────────────────────── I'm going to say something that I think is actually important. She isn't necessarily the most beautiful plant in the room. 😂 And that's okay. Because if we only judged plants by which one looks prettiest in a photograph... we'd miss so much. Black Diamond Pheno B has something else. Presence. She's impressive. She's substantial. She's got a very different visual character from many of the other girls. She's not delicate. She's not trying to look perfect. She's just... a big fucking plant. 😂💎🌿 And I love that. She's got personality. She's got character. She's got her own way of filling the room. And that's worth documenting just as much as the frosty little princesses. ──────────────────────── 👭 PHENO A & PHENO B – TWO DIFFERENT BLACK DIAMONDS ──────────────────────── And of course... we can't talk about Pheno B without remembering her sister. Black Diamond Pheno A. The girl who seems determined to turn every branch into another main cola. 😂💎👑 The difference between the two is fascinating. Same genetic family. Same room. Same general environment. Same grower. Same lighting. Same nutritional foundation. And yet... look at them. Two completely different expressions. Pheno A: 💎 Dense. 🌸 Cola-heavy. 🔥 Extremely dominant flowering structures. 👑 Every branch wants to be the main cola. Pheno B: 🌿 Big. 💚 Substantial. 👑 More relaxed in her expression. 🌸 Lots of flowering structure. 💎 Her own completely different personality. Neither one needs to become the other. And that's exactly why I love having both of them in this project. The room stays relatively consistent. The genetics tell the different stories. ──────────────────────── ☀️ SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION ──────────────────────── And once again... here come the photons. 😂☀️ Black Diamond Pheno B is receiving the same general lighting environment as everybody else. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room. We've reduced the output to approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug giving us around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And I really like seeing what different plants do with the same basic opportunity. The photons don't know which phenotype they're hitting. They arrive. The leaves intercept them. The plant processes them. And then... genetics start writing the story. Black Diamond Pheno B has written: "Okay. I'll become Big Mama." 😂💎👑 Fair enough. ──────────────────────── 🌿 MORE CAPABILITY – CONTROLLED OUTPUT ──────────────────────── The lighting upgrade continues to be one of the most interesting changes in this run. We added the additional Future of Grow fixtures to give the room more capability. But we're not simply running everything at maximum because the switches are there. 😂 We're controlling the output. Around 59% from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And then allowing the plants to respond. That's what I like about this setup. More capability. More flexibility. But still control. And Big Mama is certainly taking advantage of the environment. 💡🌿💎 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE STRUCTURE IS WHAT IMPRESSES ME ──────────────────────── When I look at these photographs, it's the overall structure that catches my attention. She's built. She's established. She's developed. The flowers are distributed throughout her architecture. And there's a clear sense that this is no longer a small plant trying to figure out what she wants to become. She knows. 😂 She's already there. She's Big Mama. And now we're simply watching her continue to develop. That's a very enjoyable stage to be in. The grower doesn't need to constantly invent something. The plant is already doing the interesting part. ──────────────────────── 👀 I'M JUST WATCHING HER NOW ──────────────────────── And honestly... that's probably the biggest theme of this week. I'm not doing much. I'm observing. That's it. I'm looking at her. I'm checking her. I'm watching the flowers. I'm watching the structure. I'm making sure she has what she needs. And otherwise... I'm letting her be. Because sometimes the best thing we can do is stop trying to improve something that is already doing beautifully. 😂🌿 The major structural work is already behind us. Now she's developing. And I'm perfectly happy to watch. If she needs something... we respond. If something changes... we adjust. But if she's happy? Let Big Mama be Big Mama. 💎👑 ──────────────────────── 💪 BIG DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN HIGH MAINTENANCE ──────────────────────── That's another thing I appreciate about her. She's big. She's substantial. She's carrying a lot of flower. But she's not constantly demanding attention. She's just... there. Growing. Developing. Doing her thing. And that's actually one of the more enjoyable kinds of plants to have in a room. The ones that don't need you to constantly invent a problem. 😂 You look. Everything looks good. You smile. You walk away. And then you come back five minutes later because you wanted to look again. 😂💎 That's Big Mama. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA FINALLY GOT HER ──────────────────────── And I'm really happy with the photographs this week. Because they give us something we missed last week. Context. Scale. Structure. Presence. You can actually see her. You can see how she's positioned in the room. You can see the height. You can see the flowering structures. And you can see why I've started calling her Big Mama. 😂👑💎 Sometimes photographs don't need to be perfect portraits. Sometimes they simply need to document what the plant actually looks like. And these do exactly that. They show us this week's version of Black Diamond Pheno B. And this version? She's impressive. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL THERE ──────────────────────── And of course... she hasn't forgotten the frost. 😂💎❄️ There is still plenty of resin throughout the developing flowers. But I think what's interesting about her is that the frost isn't the only thing defining her. She's not relying on sparkle. Her identity is much more about the whole plant. The structure. The size. The flower distribution. The overall presence. And then... you look closer... and there's the resin. Another layer. Another detail. Another little reminder that she's still developing beautifully. ──────────────────────── GENETICS ARE SPEAKING LOUDLY ──────────────────────── This is one of those moments where I really appreciate the whole purpose of the 8×8 Adventure. Because if I had only one Black Diamond plant... I might look at her and think: "This is what Black Diamond does." But because we have Pheno A and Pheno B... we know that's not the whole story. We have two expressions. Two personalities. Two structures. Two flowering patterns. Two different interpretations of the same genetic family. And that's fascinating. The environment provides the stage. The genetics provide the personality. And the plant does the rest. Black Diamond Pheno B has certainly developed a personality of her own. Big Mama. 😂💎👑 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION ──────────────────────── The nutritional foundation remains consistent with the rest of the room. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special just because she's Black Diamond. Same general room strategy. Same foundation. Same environment. And then... we watch. She's responding beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 12 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room remains broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same general conditions. Same lighting philosophy. Same nutrition. Different plant. Different story. 💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA DOESN'T NEED TO COMPETE ──────────────────────── And maybe that's what I like most about her. She doesn't need to compete. She's not trying to be Pheno A. She's not trying to be the prettiest girl. She's not trying to be the frostiest. She's simply being herself. And that's enough. Because when you stand back and look at her... she makes an impression. She's big. She's established. She's carrying beautiful flowers. She's occupying her space. And she's doing it comfortably. That's her personality. That's her story. And that's exactly what I want to document. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BULKING AND BECOMING ──────────────────────── The flowers are continuing to build. And that's where my attention is now. I'm watching the structures become more substantial. I'm watching the flowers gain volume. I'm watching the overall plant continue to mature. Nothing needs to happen overnight. Nothing needs to be forced. We're simply watching the progression. And honestly... that's one of the most satisfying parts of the entire run. Because when you stop trying to make something happen... you start noticing what is already happening. And with Big Mama? A lot is happening. 😂💎🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW ──────────────────────── At this point, I'm watching: 🌸 Flower development. 💎 Resin development. 🌿 Overall structure. 💪 Branch strength. 👑 How the plant continues to carry herself. 📸 And, most importantly... I'm making sure I DON'T FORGET THE CAMERA AGAIN. 😂😂😂 Lesson learned. Big Mama gets photographed. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – BIG MAMA ──────────────────────── Week 12. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B. And I think we've finally found her nickname. Big Mama. 😂💎👑 She's not necessarily the most beautiful plant in the room. And honestly... that's okay. Because she's impressive. Very impressive. She's big. She's substantial. She's beautiful in her own way. She's carrying flowers throughout her structure. She's developing beautifully. She's standing there with a presence that makes you stop and look. And she's doing all of it without needing to be the loudest girl in the room. That's what I love about her. She's not trying to prove anything. She's just becoming herself. And what she's becoming... is one hell of an impressive plant. 💎🌿👑🔥 So let's give Big Mama the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the size. Let's appreciate the genetics. And let's simply watch. Because we're reaching that beautiful stage where the plant is doing the work... and we're just lucky enough to be here documenting it. 😂🌱 Big Mama... keep doing your thing. Keep growing. Keep building. Keep shining. And let's see where this beautiful girl takes us next. 💎👑🌸🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover these two very different expressions. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And Black Diamond Pheno B? Last week, we lost your photographs. This week... we found them. 😂📸💎 And I'm very happy we did. Because Big Mama deserves to be seen. She's impressive. She's substantial. She's beautiful in her own way. She's growing. She's developing. She's building. And she's becoming more and more herself every week. 💎👑🌿 The 8×8 continues to remind us that there isn't one definition of a beautiful plant. Sometimes beauty is frost. Sometimes it's colour. Sometimes it's structure. Sometimes it's flowers. And sometimes... it's simply standing in the room and making everybody say: "God damn, she's big." 😂😂😂 That's Big Mama. And I absolutely love her for it. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. And let's see what this impressive Black Diamond decides to show us next. 💎👑🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where some girls are queens, some are princesses, some are little frosty monsters, and Black Diamond Pheno B? She's Big Mama. 😂💎👑🌿 Let her shine. 💚

Mega heftig was sie für ein Wachstum hinlegt. Sie holt einfach super auf. Ist schon genauso groß wie die anderen Ladys. Spraymix alle 2 Tage.

All is on track for a nice grow... Dwc. For those that havent grown dwc... Its worth trying... Trust me... Hope you enjoy the pics...

Day one of the 12th week, cutting off the nutrients I feel like it is time to flush. And what I did wrong in the beginning of this grow, was that I placed the plants too far away from the light the first 4 weeks of veg or so. My thought was too make the plants stretch taller in the beginning, but disregarding the par, the ppfd I realized too late that the branches did not get what they needed for length. These plants could have been much larger just for growers information.

Transplant to 3g -----> LOVE TRANSPLANTING!! Gives you a chance to check the root ball, you don't want to your girls to be root bound. The right size pot for the plant is crucial for a plant to remain healthy its entire life cycle. Using a tote works great for mixing the Cocoa Coir bricks in. Transplant went well and root mass looked awesome! You don't want to see your roots wrapped around a million times as that is what is referred to as root bound. I could have transplanted sooner as there was some wrapping of roots. Hard time getting feeding under control. Each plant started to absorb its own different amount each feeding. Mid to end of the week clear signs of overwatering and again was battling the heat issue caused by the lights. Deficiencies were starting to show.

So far it seems to be fine even if the high humidity worries me even if the temperatures are still high then they have stopped growing and will finally focus on the flowers and slowly we recover these small deficiencies

[Week 1 - Germination] The Fat Banana seed has germinated and looks very healthy. Very small leaves have appeared in the past two days!

DAY49 7 Weeks Buds are hard. Smell is extreme. Very limited amount of spidermites under some leaves. No reason to exterminate them, because next week I'll probably harvest the plants. The smell of the Triple G is fanastic, Big separated buds. The Cookies Gelato are more sativa style of buds than I'm use of them. There leaves are turning purple. The Liberty Haze has a lot of small leaves in the buds, and thet got amasing blinking white flowers. Probably this will be the plants I'll harvest the last, because they need some extra flowering time. The Wedding Gelato is creamy, lots of trichomes and is fast flowering. But some flowers got budrot. I'ts hard to get the humidity low because of the rainy and misty autumn outside.

La fin se rapproche pour la bannana x purple punch (je vien de lui donné sont premier rincage;) C est une plante vraiment facile à faire pousser elle peut encaisser de gros EC Et elle n à pas trop de feuille (facile à trimer ;) je pense donc que même un débutant peut avoir de très bon résultats avec cette souche il faudra juste la nourrir correctement (pas besoin de lst ou autre technique, juste lui laisser assez de place pour grandir (en hauteur comme pour les racines = big roots = big fruits ;) Pour la WEST COAST OG c est pareil on dirais elle sont en pilot automatique (tellement je n ai rien a faire a part arroser ) J ai au début mis 2 anneaux (technique que j aime bien quand j fais pousser une plante la première fois, au cas où il faudrait écarté les branches etc) mais la on en aurait presque pas besoin pareil que pour ka bannana il faut juste lui laisser assez de place pour les racines et lui laisser assez de place (largeur hauteur ) et des bon nutriment à bonne dose et normalement vous devriez avoir le même résultat que moi ;) Je doit dire que la west coast a une odeur magnifique et les photos pour toutes seul pour se qui est de la cristallisation :) Voilà les amis je m arrêt ici pour cette semaine on se retrouve pour la recolte de la bannana (la west coast à besoin de bien 10 jours encore avant le rincage)

Feed 2 times, only water in the wurlz, rest of time... Water+phmin...
