Mixed up 1 ml each of medusas magic, Gaia mania, and Zeus juice into a 1 quart spray bottle adjusted to 6.3 ph. When this gets another set or 2 of true leaves I'll take away the fluorescent and install my new hlg-65 led panel. I'm excited to see what the "special phenotype" really means. Photos are day 13 since it popped out of the soil. Also fed some tribus microbes I got as a freebie :).

Die dritte Woche ist gestartet. Wächst bisher wie sie soll und das ziemlich flott. Darf gerne so weitergehen.. Habe die Lichtintensität etwas herunter geregelt, die Blätter kräuseln sich etwas. 18.03. Entwickelt sich und wächst sehr schön. Denke am Ende der Woche wird umgetopft. Und auch hier bleibe ich bei 30 Liter Stofftöpfen. Als Drainageschicht kommen Plagron Pebbles zum Einsatz, ca. 3cm. Darüber ein Mix aus Plagron light mix, Plagron Batmix und zusätzlich etwa 10% Perlite. Als Dünger nehme ich den Greenhouse biogrow. Davon 3 g pro Liter Substrat, also 90 g. Wird direkt mit der Erdmische gut vermischt. Das neue zu Hause wartet bereits auf die Damen.. 19.03. Umzug ins größere Zelt und Pott. Leider sind mir dabei ein paar Wurzeln abgerissen, hoffe der Schaden hält sich in Grenzen.. Habe zur leichteren Handhabung Drehteller unter die Untersetzer getan😅 isoliert zusätzlich vom kalten Kellerboden. 21.03. Habe mich entschieden an Tag 21 zu toppen und zwar oberhalb der 2. Nodie. Direkt das Training gestartet. Jetzt darf sie sich erstmal davon erholen..

This plant is growing very rapidly. Many of side branches due to tie down technique and all of them are same height. Very promising. Now I see signs of pre flowering, so I add a ''bud candy'' nutrient.

On flower day 60, it was finally time. Three days before the final cut, I did a last light watering with plain water. The last 36 hours, the lights stayed on. In the end, I had around 20–30% amber trichomes. I'm super happy with the result. Trim jail was exhausting but totally worth it. The harvest is now right in the middle of curing. As for the smell: a sharp, earthy, leathery diesel mix with hints of lemon. The fuel note is, to my delight, much stronger than expected. Incredibly sticky buds. Sparkling flowers. Thanks so much for following along with the grow journal! Maybe it'll help someone with planning or give a general preview for a future grow of this strain. Much love and happy growing!

Apr 23: Germinating in Kannabia petri dish with thermometer and towels. It is a nice simple germination system. I’ve always found just soaking seeds in water on a heating mat works great, but this germinator looks nice and easy too. Amnesia Haze GO Fast should be a good grow. Starting two seeds to pick the better one. Apr 27: transplanted sprouted seeds into starter soil in peat pots. I’ve never been a fan of germinating seeds using paper towels because I usually forget to keep them moist but not saturated. Also sprouting weed seeds in a glass of water is so easy and foolproof. The Sproutly germination kit from Kannabia is a smartly designed simple device. A petri dish with an accurate thermometer so you can keep it at 22-24 C. The biggest tip for starting seeds, including things like peppers and tomatoes, is to get a heat mat - totally worth it. The last video shows how I do seed priming with ethylene gas given off from a couple of apples. There was a scientific paper i saw in a news story somewhere that explains it. The gas helps promote or regulate the gene expression in the growing seedlings, but a key trick is that it should only be applied to the sprouted seeds just before they are exposed to light. Been doing seed priming the last two years, and yes it works.

Week 21 Daylight 12h20 - 7h45/20h05 Unstable weather, alternating heavy rain and wind quasi every days and sunny afternoons. Moderate temperatures around 14°C min / 23°C max. Plants are safe in the veranda; the sun is lower on the horizon now and the angle of the light is now perfect for a good finish. I need to test the humidity level in the room but it seems reasonable. No signs of diseases or moisture. Last weeks were hard with multiple aggressions: plants are like War Veterans with some damage and scars. The flowering process look not affected by this episode and harvest is approaching. Brake Pad Breath: almost ready. Pistils are rusty colored, buds are thick and dense, firm and sticky. Subtle fruity aroma: tonic and stimulating. Most advanced plant: will be the first harvested soon. 2L watering / 2 days flowering booster finish + water flawless finish + water Flash Back #2: ending the flowering cycle and starting maturation. Last plant infested by insects, may be the plant is reacting by accelerating the flowering: buds are not so dense compare with the previous plant. Pretty spicy smell and good resin production. flowering booster finish + water flawless finish + water GMO x Zombie Kush: starting the last flowering stage. Recovering good and was less injured by caterpillar than the others. Pistils are long and the flowers will enlarge soon: need almost 3 or 4 weeks to be ready. Grower master flo + bud XL enzyme + pk 13/14 Royal Moby is tall and late flowering but seems producing lot of flower. With the stress the plant become hermaphroditic, I discovered some bag of males flowers. I hope there is no pollination between the other plants. Grower master flo + bud XL enzyme + pk 13/14

She is coming along nicely. She had good growth this week. The root has made its way into the reservoir now. So she will begin to start drinking more water/nutes real soon. I did turn off my flower light setting and now it is only running the veg lighting. So you can tell in the pics that’s it’s very blue compared to last week and the purple/pink colour. I noticed when I made that change the leaves doubled in size in just a day. I probably should have made that change a while ago.

Day 127 6-6 Started backing off on the light time and had to bring in a dehumidifier to bring down humidity. Strung some support up for the final weeks push. Continue to lower ppm's slowly getting her down to 15. Total Darkness coming soon.😎 This could be the last week t'ill harvest.

Day 22: Honestly didn't think I would have made it this far. The girls are looking great minus a couple of issues. I have over watered them and over fed too! Not to mention trying to LST too early. I will wait a bit longer before watering this time. Day 23: MORNING - They were super dry. I have been over watering a bit so I watered maybe 1/2 gallon for all 6. I also did some more LST and took 1 large fan leaf off of each plant. I will update again before lights out. Day 23: NIGHT - The girls are responding very well to the LST. I don't think they are liking the 80°. I am starting to have issues with lower humidity again. I need to try and figure some sort of ducting out or possibly even get a small AC unit for the grow room. Day 24: MORNING - I removed a couple more leaves that were covering potential bud sites. I have also done a partial main-line on the smallest girl. It looks to be already showing pistols. I've had to open the tent with a big fan blowing directly in with the humidifier behind it. The girls were getting hot and dry. Day 24: NIGHT - Well 5 are showing to be female. The biggest plant is showing no signs of sex. I am guessing it will be the mystery seed. I will be doing no more LST to these ladies for at least a week or better. I think I have stressed them out enough the past 2 days. Day 25: These girls are very resilient!! I tortured them all weekend and the one I nopped off to do a sort of mainline grew by 20% at least. Day 26: It is the official 3 week mark today and the girls are starting to flower. I tied em down to get light to all bud sights. I will 100% not touch them unless they need it from this point!!!! They are soo small and I need not stunt them any more!! I have removed the Mystery Seed as it looks to be a male and I do not want to take the chance!! Also fed and watered today. Only 200 ppm for the feed. Day 27: Nothing new to report. These girls are gonna be tiny :| I must've stressed em too much too soon :( Looking good though I think! 💪 Day 28: I never do what I say. Dumb! Broke main stem on one of the best plants. Taking it as a lessons learned. It's been two hours and she looks SICK! Oh well.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 7 | The Black Diamond Begins to Shine Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the things I love most about this project is watching every phenotype write its own story. Every plant grows under exactly the same conditions. The same environment. The same nutrients. The same lighting. The same watering schedule. The only thing changing is the genetics. Black Diamond Pheno A continues proving why phenotype hunts are so fascinating. From the very beginning, this lady has been allowed to grow naturally. No topping. No high-stress training. No aggressive manipulation. Just a little leaf tucking here and there whenever a fan leaf shaded a future bud site, allowing her to express exactly what her genetics wanted to become. Sometimes growers feel the need to shape every branch. Sometimes the best decision is simply to step back and let nature do what it does best. This Black Diamond is becoming the perfect example of that philosophy. 🌱 The 12/12 From Seed Adventure For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! Every plant in this project has been grown under a 12 hours on / 12 hours off light schedule from the very first day of life. There is no traditional vegetative stage. The goal is to observe how each genetic behaves when every environmental variable remains identical while allowing the plants to reveal their natural structure without extending their vegetative growth. It's an incredibly rewarding way to compare phenotypes because each plant develops its own personality without artificial intervention. And Black Diamond Pheno A has certainly developed one. 💎 A Natural Beauty Becoming a Giant Last week she impressed me. This week she surprised me. Standing at 169 cm, she has continued stretching while maintaining one of the cleanest structures in the entire room. Long branches. Excellent spacing. Beautiful symmetry. Every branch seems to know exactly where it wants to grow, naturally reaching for the light without fighting for space. The central cola has become a true focal point, but what impresses me even more is how evenly the secondary branches are developing around it. The entire plant feels balanced. Confident. Purposeful. Sometimes you look at a plant and immediately know she's going to become something special. That's exactly the feeling I get every time I open the tent. 🌸 Flower Production Is Moving Fast This is where things are becoming really exciting. Bud formation has accelerated dramatically over the past week. Every flowering site is stacking beautifully, with fresh white pistils covering nearly every inch of the future colas. What's particularly impressive is how far ahead she appears compared to her actual age. If someone showed me these flowers without any context, I'd probably guess she was at least another week or two further into bloom. The flowers already have real presence. The main cola is thickening. The side branches are filling in rapidly. And everywhere I look, I see healthy calyx development preparing for the bulking phase that's just around the corner. She's definitely one of the most advanced plants in the room. ❄️ Frost Arriving Earlier Than Expected Another pleasant surprise this week has been the resin production. Even this early into flowering, the sugar leaves are already beginning to sparkle. Tiny trichomes are appearing across the developing flowers, creating that first shimmering layer every grower loves seeing. It's still early. There's a very long way to go before harvest. But she's already hinting at the frosty future she's preparing. If this pace continues... She could become one of the frostiest ladies of the entire project. 🍃 Letting the Plant Do What She Does Best One thing that hasn't changed throughout this grow is my approach. No topping. No high-stress training. No unnecessary defoliation. No complicated techniques. Only occasional leaf tucking whenever a large fan leaf blocks light from reaching a developing flower site. That's it. Everything else has been entirely natural. Watching her develop like this is a wonderful reminder that healthy genetics often know exactly what they want to do when given the right environment. Sometimes the grower's biggest job... ...is knowing when not to interfere. 💧 Feeding the Next Stage of Bloom As flowering accelerates, the feeding program continues supporting the increasing nutritional demands. This week's recipe includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L • pH adjustment using Plagron pH Plus and Lemon Kick The EC has now increased to 1.95, giving the plant everything she needs as flower production continues ramping up. The response has been outstanding. Healthy leaves. Excellent colour. Strong growth. Zero signs of stress. Exactly what every grower hopes to see. 💡 Welcoming Lumiflora Under-Canopy Lighting This week also marks another exciting addition to the project. I've introduced Lumiflora under-canopy lighting. Most LED fixtures do an excellent job illuminating the top of the canopy. The challenge comes later in flower, when dense foliage naturally shades the lower branches. That's exactly where under-canopy lighting becomes interesting. Rather than replacing the main light, Lumiflora simply adds additional usable light underneath the canopy, helping areas that would normally receive far less illumination. What am I hoping to see? • Better development of lower flowers. • More even bud density throughout the plant. • Improved light penetration into the middle of the canopy. • More efficient use of every flowering site. What am I not expecting? Miracles. Under-canopy lighting won't compensate for poor genetics. It won't replace good environmental control. It won't fix nutrient problems. It's simply another tool that, when combined with healthy plants and a stable environment, has the potential to improve overall flower quality from top to bottom. I'm genuinely excited to see what difference it makes during the coming weeks. 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The environment remains stable, allowing the plants to focus entirely on flower production. Current conditions: • Week 7 Flower • Height: 169 cm • Light schedule: 12/12 • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Root zone temperature: 21°C • Nutrient solution temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Consistency remains one of the biggest contributors to healthy, stress-free growth. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs tell an incredible story. The full-plant images reveal a tall, elegant phenotype confidently rising above much of the surrounding canopy, while maintaining exceptional balance from top to bottom. The close-ups show flower sites rapidly stacking along nearly every branch, already carrying impressive numbers of bright white pistils. One thing that immediately catches my eye is the amount of visible frost beginning to appear on the sugar leaves. It's subtle. But it's definitely there. The main cola is quickly becoming a beautiful spear, while the secondary branches are following closely behind. This plant photographs beautifully because she's simply growing beautifully. 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should become some of the most exciting of the entire grow. Stretch should gradually slow as more energy is redirected toward building dense flowers. The calyxes will begin swelling. The flowers should continue stacking into longer, thicker colas. Resin production will accelerate. And I'll be watching the impact of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting with great interest to see how the lower flowers develop compared to previous runs. If she continues performing like this... This Black Diamond may become one of the true stars of the entire 8×8 Adventure. And honestly... She's giving me every reason to believe she will. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this journey. Growing is always a balance between knowledge, patience, observation and trust. Sometimes the best thing we can do is simply create the right conditions... ...and allow the genetics to tell their own story.

Day 29... afternoon very sunny and warm temp 👍 Day 30 damn hot and full of sun 😎👍 Day31 warm weather with sun in the morning, laters cloudy with high humidity 😃 Day32 totally fucked up weather...rain non stop and cloudy 😕😫😩

Week 12 and humidity in room is higher then I like at night 60 and duringlighys on to need dumhumidifer badly I think or maybe all good no signs of mould that’s for sure so I tried supercropping for 1st time they seemed to like the 1st to tops I did and the all peeled up and getting more light so I did it A couple more tops will see if it makes difference or not check out the vid and pics

Germinated 20 seeds only 8 seeds popped contacted ice head seeds they sent replacements out within 48 hours. Running these seeds in x2 Wilma 8 pot systems , manually feeding them for the first two weeks while they are young. Also for the first week I will be using a 400w hid light starting at a distance of 1 meter away as to not shock the seedlings while gradually moving the light closer throughout the week until I reach the optimal distance of 24 inches by around day 5. Also I am running the lights on 24/7 for the first week to help accelerate growth Note: advanced nutrients ph perfect is not ph perfect had to manually drop the ph from 7.1 to 5.8 quite disappointing .
