Ok starting to look nice. I’ve realised my TDS meter calculates a low ppm given the EC therefore I’ve been thinking my PPMs are lower than they probably have been thus the burning leaves. From now on I’m going to use the EC reading of my meter as that is what it actually measures. I’m not sure how long left as this is my first plant. I have a handheld microscope I can use to check the crystals but there don’t seem to be any good spots to get in and use it on easily at the moment, I don’t want to damage the buds too bad. Finaly made a rig that allowed me to raise my light even more as it was too close and I had run out of room to go higher. Its been a funny plant a far as I can tell. Took a long time to flower but is pretty large and seems pretty healthy. Keen for the harvest. 😀 A few weeks ago I changed my nutrient ratios to the ones fourth last on the chart (B...) in the photo and have used it at a watered down rate for the plant.

And here we are facing a beauty that is maturing, you probably miss a week or a little more, I think I gather next weekend. The colors are there, I'm flushing, she is really beautiful she swelled well and we're sure it will be very good. Odor: paradise LIGHT >> MARSHYDRO SP3000 AT 100% OF POWER ..

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 10 | Quietly Shining in Her Own Way 💎🌿 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Sometimes a plant doesn't need to make a lot of noise to get your attention. Sometimes she doesn't demand. She doesn't stretch dramatically. She doesn't create another problem for the grower to solve. She simply... keeps moving. And that's exactly where Black Diamond Pheno B is right now. She's not moving as fast as her sister. She's definitely more leafy. She's a little more relaxed in the way she approaches flowering. But she's still beautiful. She's still developing. She's still shining. And honestly? I really like that about her. Because in a room full of different personalities, not everybody needs to be the loudest one. Pheno B has her own way of doing things. And she's doing it beautifully. 💎 The Quiet Sister Keeps Shining If you've been following this adventure, you already know that Black Diamond Pheno A and Pheno B have become one of my favourite comparisons in the entire room. Same genetics. Same environment. Same lighting. Same general nutrition. Same irrigation philosophy. Same grower. And yet... completely different expressions. Pheno A has been giving us the "LOOK AT ME!" version of Black Diamond. 😂💎 Pheno B? She's more like: "I'm right here. You'll notice me eventually." And you absolutely do. Because although she's moving at a calmer pace, she's developing beautifully. She's not asking for much attention. She's asking for what every plant asks for: Water. Nutrition. A good environment. And time. We're providing all of that. And she's doing the rest. 🌿 More Leafy, More Relaxed One of the clearest differences this week is the amount of foliage she's carrying. Compared with her sister, Pheno B is definitely the more leafy expression. She's maintaining a fuller, greener appearance, and her structure has that slightly more relaxed character we've been seeing throughout the run. And I like it. I don't want every phenotype to look identical. Actually, that would completely defeat the purpose of this adventure. We're giving these girls the same opportunity and letting genetics show us what they want to do. Pheno B has decided that she wants to keep a little more foliage around herself while she continues developing her flowers. Fine by me. She's healthy. She's moving. She's shining. So why would I try to make her something else? 🌸 The Flowers Are Still Moving The fact that she's progressing more slowly than her sister doesn't mean she's standing still. Far from it. The flowers continue developing. The structures are becoming increasingly established. The pistils remain prominent. And the overall flowering picture continues to move forward. She's simply taking her time. And honestly... that's something I appreciate more and more as this project continues. There isn't a single correct speed. There isn't a single correct structure. There isn't a single correct expression. There are twelve plants in this room, and every one of them is writing a slightly different story. Pheno B's story is a little quieter. But it's still a very beautiful one. ❄️ The Frost Is Still There And let's not forget the resin. Because even though this girl isn't trying to steal the spotlight with explosive growth, she's still giving the camera plenty to look at. The flowers continue developing their frosty appearance. The trichomes are becoming increasingly noticeable. And those close-up photographs really show the contrast between her green foliage and the developing resin-covered flowers. She's not finished. We're still watching the flowers mature. But she's clearly heading in the right direction. And every week, there's another little detail that catches my eye. That's what makes photographing these girls so addictive. You think you've seen everything... then you get closer. 📸💎 💚 She Doesn't Ask for Much This might actually be my favourite thing about Pheno B this week. She's easy. Not because she's doing nothing. Because she's simply not demanding much beyond the basics. Give her water. Give her nutrition. Keep the environment consistent. And let her work. That's it. She's not asking me to constantly intervene. She's not trying to run away from the canopy. She's not creating some new emergency every other day. She's just... growing. And sometimes that's exactly what a grower wants. 😂🌿 Especially when you have other girls in the room making sure you never get bored. 👭 Very Different Sisters The comparison between the two Black Diamond phenotypes is becoming even more interesting now. Pheno A: 💎 Bigger presence 🔥 More aggressive development 🌸 Heavy flower production ❄️ Rapidly increasing frost 👑 Constantly demanding the spotlight Pheno B: 🌿 More leafy 💚 More relaxed 🌸 Developing at her own pace ❄️ Still becoming increasingly frosty 😌 Asking for very little attention And yet... both are beautiful. That's the important part. I'm not looking at Pheno B and thinking: "Why aren't you doing what your sister is doing?" I'm looking at her and thinking: "Show me what YOU become." That's the experiment. 🌱 Same Room. Different Expression. This is something I want to keep repeating because it's really the heart of the entire 8×8 Adventure. For anyone discovering this diary for the first time: We're running twelve different plants together in the same room under the same general conditions. The plants share the same environmental strategy. They share the same lighting ecosystem. They follow the same general nutritional approach. They receive the same grower's attention. And yet... they don't behave the same. That's genetics. And when two plants from the same genetic line behave differently? That's even more fascinating. Black Diamond Pheno A and Pheno B are giving us a beautiful example of exactly that. Same name. Same genetic origin. Different personalities. 💡 The Lighting Ecosystem Continues The lighting setup remains another interesting part of this experiment. The main Future of Grow LED lighting provides the primary overhead illumination, while the additional lighting within the canopy continues adding another layer to the environment. And Pheno B's more leafy structure makes her particularly interesting to watch. More foliage means a different canopy structure. Different architecture means different ways for light to interact with the plant. I'm not going to pretend that every difference we see can be attributed to one specific variable. That's not the point. The point is to observe. And when the environment stays consistent while the plants continue expressing themselves differently... that's where things become really interesting. 💧 Give Her What She Wants There isn't much drama in the feeding department this week. And that's a good thing. Pheno B continues receiving the same general flowering nutrition strategy as the room. 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment products — as required The recorded solution remains around pH 6.0, with an EC of approximately 2.0 mS/cm. Watering remains around 1.3 L per plant / 24h. She's not asking for anything special. She's simply receiving what she needs... and getting on with the job. 💚🌱 🌡️ Current Conditions The current recorded conditions for Week 10 are: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 160 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h The room remains remarkably consistent. And once again, that consistency makes the differences between the plants even more interesting. The room provides the stage. The genetics write the performance. 📸 A Beautiful Plant Doesn't Need to Be the Fastest Looking through this week's photographs, I think Pheno B makes an important point. You don't have to be the fastest plant in the room to be impressive. You don't have to be the biggest. You don't have to demand attention. You don't have to constantly change. Sometimes you just need to keep progressing. And she is. The structure is beautiful. The foliage is healthy. The flowers continue developing. The resin is appearing. The plant is moving toward maturity. She's doing exactly what she needs to do. And that deserves recognition. 💎 The Other Black Diamond I think that's probably the best way to describe her now. Not the smaller Black Diamond. Not the slower Black Diamond. Not the less impressive Black Diamond. Just... the other Black Diamond. Her sister has her personality. She has hers. And honestly, I wouldn't change that. Because if these two were identical, we'd lose one of the most fascinating comparisons in the entire run. Instead, we have two different expressions of the same genetics growing side by side. And every week the contrast becomes clearer. 🌿 Let Her Take Her Time I'm not going to push this girl to become something she's not. She's moving. She's developing. She's shining. That's enough. If she wants to take a little longer to build her flowers, we'll watch. If she wants to keep more foliage, we'll observe. If she wants to remain the quieter sister, that's perfectly fine. The plant doesn't need to impress me every single day. Although... she does anyway. 😂💚 🔮 Looking Ahead As we move further into this flowering stage, I'm going to keep watching: 🌸 Flower development ❄️ Resin progression 🌿 Overall foliage health 💎 Flower density 🎨 Any further colour development ⚖️ Structural stability 🔬 Overall maturation And, of course... I'm going to keep watching her sister too. Because the comparison between these two is becoming more interesting every week. Will Pheno B continue developing at her own slower rhythm? Will the difference in flower development become more pronounced? Will her more leafy structure remain part of her final expression? We'll find out. No rush. No forcing. Just observation. 💎 She Deserves the Spotlight Too Pheno A may be trying very hard to steal the spotlight. 😂💎👑 But Pheno B deserves a little time under it too. Because she's beautiful. She's tall. She's leafy. She's green. She's developing flowers. She's building frost. She's moving forward. And she's doing all of it without demanding much from me. That's a pretty good combination. So this week, I'm giving the spotlight to the quieter sister. Not because she's trying to take it. But because sometimes the plants that don't shout the loudest deserve to be noticed too. 💚🌿💎 💎 Final Thoughts Week 10 brings us another beautiful chapter in the Black Diamond story. Pheno B continues to show just how different two phenotypes from the same genetic line can become. She's not moving as quickly as Pheno A. She's more leafy. She's more relaxed. She's less demanding. But she's absolutely not falling behind in the sense that matters most: she's developing. She's healthy. She's flowering. She's becoming frostier. She's getting closer to maturity. And she's doing it in her own way. That's what I love about this adventure. We don't need every plant to be the same. We don't even need every plant to be spectacular in the same way. We just need to give them the opportunity to express themselves. And Black Diamond Pheno B is doing exactly that. She's not screaming: "LOOK AT ME!" She's quietly saying: "I'm still here." And yes, girl... we see you. 💎💚 Let's make her shine. 🙏 Thank You Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful example of why the 8×8 Adventure continues to be so fascinating. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. One general growing philosophy. And twelve completely different personalities. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing the platform where growers can document, compare, learn and share these journeys. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics behind this fascinating Black Diamond line. 💜 Plagron — for supporting the nutritional side of this adventure. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for powering the main lighting environment. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. ✨ LumiFlora — for bringing the additional canopy lighting into the experiment and giving us another fascinating variable to observe. And thank you to everyone following along week after week. Thank you for the comments. Thank you for the questions. Thank you for sharing the adventure. And thank you for taking the time to look at these girls as they develop. Pheno A may be the loud sister. Pheno B may be the quieter one. But both are beautiful. Both are fascinating. And both are showing us something different. This girl doesn't need to demand attention. She just needs a little time. Water. Nutrition. A stable environment. And the freedom to be herself. She's moving. She's shining. She's developing. And she's quietly making her own case for the spotlight. So let's give it to her. Black Diamond Pheno B — Week 10. Still growing. Still flowering. Still shining. Still completely herself. 💎🌿💚 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 💚🌱💎

Auto Purple Hulk Auto by MSNL Outside 👉Sponsored Grow👈 W9F5 8/10-16 This week’s weather has been a mix of rain, clouds and thunderstorms. Temperatures were mostly in the mid to upper 80s during the day and low 70s at night. I watered 2 times with compost tea adding green sensation on the last watering. Auto Purple Hulk is fattening up her buds and showing lots of purple. Her buds have lots of sugar leaves which possibly can trap moisture causing rot. I check all my outside plants daily in the morning. If it rained that night, I give each stem a good shake to help dry them out. So far so good. The pics show the trichomes filling out the bud structure even without a magnifier. I am getting excited to see the full development of buds, colors and smells. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Let’s continue to learn to grow together! Stay green, growers love 💚🌿, 💫Natrona💫

The big girls have the tent to themselves after the GZ auto was harvested this week , looks to be around 5oz when dry so a nice little bonus smoke . Tied the girls out into final positions and they are looking and feeling chunky some of these colas are over a foot long and getting smelly as .

Some Faded bottom leaves . Temps are lower . Not sure if my questions are seen but moving forward with my first Auto Blow Dream grow.

Looking good feel like she’s moving slow or I’m just being impa

Germinated 2 seeds had 50% success [still hoping the other pops up] chocolope #1 doing very well. They are in a 2'×2'×4' grow tent which they will spend rest of their lives as I'm trying my hands at cannabonsai. [Pretty calming] Lights are lowered close to dome to reduce stretch. Let me know what u think

Start of week 9, she’s funky and sticky. Sweet pungent gas. She’s the slowest in the tent but should but cutting down around day 70.

😁

Week 12 day 78 i started the day and found my fan was fell down in my plants, i had some serious damage and i had to repair a few branches with some serious bud. Not all the buds make it and i had to harvest a few because of the damage. Not so nice because she was not ready. Also she is not so pretty anymore. But i'm happy there was no damage to the 2 huge buds their doing ok, and beginning to look better every day. So i started a final PK boost and hope i can finish and flushing after that. Day 82 i stopped the feeding and start to flush tommorow

This lady was a pleasure to grow, she went 5 oz dry buds which I'm more than happy with 😁🤙

Temps are finnaly under control, its been hot as hell out here. Plants are thriving again💪 Rock on Growmies

Ich bin mal gespannt, wie hoch es noch hinaus geht.

Going well. Think I may flip in the next week. Don't want the plants to become too unmanageable for my first crop. Really enjoying the learning process. Thinking a t-break starting soon would make it easier to enjoy the harvest. Looking at getting some bubble hash processing equipment and a rosin press, my prefered consumption method from right at home. At this size what would an experienced grower expect in terms of yield? The strains seem hearty. Thinking- Flip: September 7 Harvest Window: November 2 – November 15 Drying: November 2 – November 16 Cure Starts: November 16 First Smoke: Early December Peak Quality: Late December – January
