💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 2 Flower | Hidden Elegance Begins to Shine Not every exceptional plant demands the spotlight. Some quietly earn it. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B has continued doing exactly that throughout her second week of flowering. While her sister naturally catches the eye with her explosive presence, Pheno B keeps impressing through balance, structure, and effortless development. Watching these two sisters grow side by side has become one of the highlights of this project. They share the same genetics, the same environment, identical nutrition, lighting, irrigation, and gentle training, yet each expresses her own unique personality. That, to me, is where the magic of phenotype hunting truly begins. Like every plant in this project, she has been grown using my favourite method: 12/12 From Seed. From the very first day above the soil she has lived entirely under a flowering light schedule, allowing her genetics to dictate her natural architecture without an extended vegetative period. There has been no topping, no high-stress techniques and no aggressive manipulation. Only patience, observation, and gentle guidance. Low Stress Training has simply encouraged the branches to open naturally while allowing the plant to grow toward the light exactly as she wanted. Week after week she continues proving just how capable this technique can be. 🌱 Environment Another stable week has allowed every bit of energy to be invested into flower production rather than environmental adaptation. 🌡️ Day Temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 60% 🥤 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 21°C 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm Consistency remains one of the greatest advantages inside this flowering room. Healthy roots, stable temperatures, continuous fresh air and reliable irrigation create an environment where the plants never need to recover—they simply continue growing. When the environment stays predictable, the genetics can truly express themselves. 🌿 Training & Canopy Management The philosophy hasn't changed because the plants haven't given me any reason to change it. Gentle Low Stress Training continues guiding the canopy while regular leaf tucking keeps developing flower sites exposed without sacrificing valuable foliage. There has still been no defoliation. Healthy fan leaves remain the plant's solar panels, converting light into the energy required to build flowers over the coming weeks. Rather than removing them, I simply reposition them whenever necessary, allowing light to reach lower bud sites while preserving as much photosynthetic capacity as possible. Sometimes restraint is the best form of training. 🌾 Feeding Program Flower production is now accelerating, and the nutrition program continues supporting both continued stretch and increasingly active bud formation. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom • Plagron Power Buds • Plagron Sugar Royal • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Green Sensation Everything remains beautifully balanced. The foliage stays deep green without becoming overly dark, growth remains vigorous, and there are no visible signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses. She's clearly comfortable with the current feeding schedule, and when a plant tells you she's happy, the smartest decision is often to simply stay the course. 💎 Phenotype Spotlight This week Pheno B continues showing exactly why documenting individual phenotypes is so rewarding. Standing at roughly 160 cm, she's keeping pace with her sister, only fractionally smaller, while maintaining the same elegant, upright structure. Her branches remain evenly spaced, giving every developing flower site excellent airflow and light penetration. One characteristic has become increasingly noticeable. Although Black Diamond Auto is heavily indica dominant thanks to its Blackberry × Diamond OG lineage, this particular phenotype is expressing surprisingly slender, elongated leaf fingers. It's a subtle reminder that even in highly indica cultivars, recessive traits from the genetic background can occasionally step forward. She may be genetically around ninety percent indica, but those beautiful leaves seem determined to celebrate the remaining ten percent. And honestly... I absolutely love that. The flowering sites themselves are developing beautifully. Fresh white pistils continue emerging along every branch, while the calyxes are beginning to stack one above another, slowly creating the framework that will become long, continuous colas over the coming weeks. Every internode is now actively producing flowers, creating excellent spacing that should allow impressive bud development as flowering progresses. Even more exciting is the very first appearance of resin. It's still far too early to judge aroma or trichome production, and I certainly won't pretend otherwise, but a light sparkle is already beginning to appear across parts of the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves. It's only the opening chapter of what I hope will become a wonderfully frosty finish. Sometimes the earliest frost is simply a promise of what's still to come. 💡 Welcoming Lumiflora This week also marks another exciting step for the flowering room with the introduction of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system. The goal isn't to replace the main lighting overhead, but to complement it by delivering additional light into areas that naturally receive less intensity beneath the canopy. I'm looking forward to seeing how the extra light influences lower flower development, bud density, and overall canopy uniformity during the coming weeks. As always, I prefer to let the plants tell the story. Rather than making bold claims before the harvest, I'll simply continue documenting the results honestly and allow the final flowers to speak for themselves. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect vertical stretch to begin slowing as the plant redirects more energy into flower production. Those individual clusters of white pistils should continue connecting together as the calyxes swell, gradually transforming the elegant framework she's built into long, well-defined colas. Resin production should become increasingly visible, while the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting begins revealing whether additional light below the canopy can further improve lower flower development. I'll continue with gentle leaf tucking whenever needed, keeping the canopy open while allowing every healthy fan leaf to keep powering the plant naturally. If she maintains this steady pace, I think she's going to reward patience in a very big way. She's never tried to be the loudest plant in the room. She's simply focused on becoming one of the best. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these fantastic Black Diamond Auto genetics, to Plagron for continuing to support every stage of this journey with an incredibly reliable nutrient line, and now also to Lumiflora for joining the project with their under-canopy lighting system. I'm genuinely excited to document how this additional layer of lighting influences flower development over the remainder of the grow. Finally, my sincere thanks goes to the amazing GrowDiaries community. Your encouragement, thoughtful comments, and shared passion for growing are what make these weekly phenotype journals such a pleasure to write. Following two sisters side by side, watching them reveal different expressions of the very same genetics, is one of the greatest reminders that every seed has its own story waiting to be told. Until next week... Growers love and Happy Growing! 🌱💚

Harvest about a week early to not get any amber thricomes. The buds look amazing so sugary don’t want them to become amber. Will press like 70-80% into rosin. So don’t want no ambers’s. Otherwise this strain was amazing to grow! It was super stable all the time and produced some Sick buds for me! This shit smells like gods v*gina!

700ppm ff before 3ml of calmag. City water /bubbler. Ph 6.4-6.7. Silica (0-0-1) on water only day 5-7ml per. Feed x2 x w. Water or water cal/mag 3-4 ml/gal only l, 1-2 x w when needed.

Only misted with water.

Buds hard like rock.very sticky.. nice smoke

The plants recovered well, and the buds are swelling 💪🌳 I changed my pH pen and switched to AC Infinity 👌 The trichomes on both SM&Q2 are already nicely milky with quite a few amber ones, so I think today was their last watering. I’ll harvest them in 2–3 days!

You say My plants is good or not?

High, finally, after 65 days of flowering, they were ready to get their final cut. I flushed 16 days. Harvest took about 7 hours with 2 scissors. 😊 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r03V9OEJlgg It were 630g of dry buds. More small fluffy buds than the last grow because I didn't LST. Next time I'll do LST again. I passed the 1g/W mark, so yeah, I'm happy. :) See you soon with my next grow...

Empezamos la semana con buen pie. Las plantas están preciosas.

21/10 - 30 days, 75 cm, tied

SUMMARY: I flushed her this week on day 92 and thats it for nutes now until harvest on Saturday 10th April. I gave her a little flush on day 87 as she wasn't draining right and was still slowly dying. The runoff pH was 1 point up from the input though I'm not sure I trust the meter readings as my pen is cheap. Either way its in range and harvest is in sight so I'm not fucking around with her now. I am making an effort to feed her 3 times per day now though some days I'm only managing 2 waterings. I read that the more frequently you water the better as each time you water it brings in fresh oxygen to the root zone. Therefore, the more frequently you water, the higher your yield will be. I should have been watering as often as possible throughout really but life and work commitments have restricted it to once-twice per day some days. DAY 87 ----------- Tuesday 23rd March 11:00 I flushed the Amnesia with 1.5L of tap water though I didn't check the pH as the tap water is always 6.2-6.4 which is fine. However after flushing I tested the water before and after going through the medium and according to my pH pen the tap water was reading at 5.1 which simply can't be right but multiple tests showed 5.1. The runoff pH after flush was somehow coming out to 6.1 which just doesn't make ANY sense at all to me. But it's in range and too late in the game to fuck about anymore. [26°C/46%] I made 15L of late bloom nutes with molasses and rainwater. 5L at 5.7, 5L at 5.8, and 5L at 6.0. DAY 88 ----------- Wednesday 24th March 11:00 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 140ml runoff (47%). Wednesday 24th March 18:30 I fed the Amnesia 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 200ml runoff (100%). [26°C/48%] DAY 89 ----------- Thursday 25th March 09:30 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 50ml runoff (17%). Shes draining so much quicker now that I do think there was a build up prior to flushing...and she does seem to be drinking more now...I don't know . [26°C/46%] I made 15L of late bloom nutes with molasses and rainwater. 5L at 5.7, 5L at 5.8, and 5L at 6.0. Thursday 25th March 18:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 100ml of late bloom nutes which produced 80ml runoff (45%). [26°C/48%] Thursday 25th March 20:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 160ml runoff (80%). [26°C/48%] DAY 90 ----------- Friday 26th March 09:30 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 110ml runoff (37%). [26°C/46%] Friday 26th March 14:30 I fed the Amnesia 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 110ml runoff (55%). [26°C/46%] Friday 26th March 18:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 100ml of late bloom nutes which produced 90ml runoff (90%). [26°C/48%] Friday 26th March 20:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 160ml runoff (80%). [26°C/48%] DAY 91 -------- Saturday 27th March 09:30 I fed the Amnesia 300ml of late bloom nutes which produced 110ml runoff (37%). [26°C/46%] Saturday 27th March 14:30 I fed the Amnesia 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 110ml runoff (55%). [26°C/46%] Saturday 27th March 18:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 100ml of late bloom nutes which produced 90ml runoff (90%). [26°C/48%] Saturday 27th March 20:30 I fed the Amnesia a further 200ml of late bloom nutes which produced 160ml runoff (80%). [26°C/48%] DAY 92 -------- Sunday 28th March I flushed her with tap water straight from the hose. I’ve heard you’re supposed to flush with 3x the container volume and so I flushed her with more than that to be sure. Moving forward I will be watering her 2-3 times per day with pH'd tap or rain water providing 20-30% runoff each feeding.

10 days into flower with the first taste of bloom! Happy with how things are going.. don’t know why my videos won’t play

Servus Moin! Die Permanent Melons ist richtig klebrig diesmal. Vom Geruch wird sie auch immer stärker. Diese Woche wurde sie entlaubt, damit die unteren Buds auch eine Chance haben schön dick zu werden.

The bud smells like candy in a jar! Very impressed with how this lady turn out, took her a little while for the buds to fatten up but I’m glad I gave her a little extra time because she definitely filled out more! Buds are extremely dense & sticky and definitely has a couch lock high! Can’t wait to grow this again using a full nutrient line & see how she does! Make sure to go check out Doctors Choice for some amazing genetics! Thanks for following & happy growing friends!🙏🏼✌️🏼🌱

Añado un par de vídeos para que veáis los espectaculares colores morados que están mostrando 😍 En 20 años cultivando, nunca había visto una cepa tan bonita. Im in love 😂

This time it was this girl's turn with a great smell. A very good strain, easy to grow, fast, and without many demands. Besides the controlled environment, it has a sweet citrus scent that makes you want to eat it instead of smoke it, lol. The buds were a good size, very resinous, and sticky. I really liked the result and intend to grow it again ✌️💪🌿🍁
