Week 2 (30/01 - 05/02) During this week I will continue as the first week. Light at 20cm from top of the plants, dimmered down to 30%. I will only add 2ml/l of Bio-grow every two watering days. Parameters for heating/cooling system: 23.5°C as reference temperature, -3°C for heating, +1.5°C for cooling. 30/01D8: - 31/01D9: watering day. Added 2ml of Bio-grow to 1.2l of tap water (approximately 40cl of water each plant) 01/02 D10: - 02/02 D11: watering day. Tap water only (50cl of water each plant) 03/02 D12: - 04/02 D13: - 05/02 D14: watering day. Added 2ml of Bio-grow to 1.5l of tap water (approximately 50cl of water each plant)

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 9 | The Other Beast 💎🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Well... Her sister is doing her thing. And if you've been following this adventure, you already know what that means. Pheno A is in full beast mode. 😂💎 She's massive. She's loaded. She's throwing flowers everywhere. And she's making sure nobody forgets she's in the room. But then I look at her sister... And I have to smile. Because Pheno B is also a beast. Just a different kind. And that's exactly what makes these two so fascinating. Same genetics. Same room. Same light. Same nutrition. Same irrigation. Same environmental conditions. Both beautiful. Both vigorous. Both now cleaned up with some selective defoliation. Both entering this increasingly exciting stage of flowering. And yet... very, very different. That's phenotype hunting. And I absolutely love it. 🌱 One Room. Two Black Diamond Stories. The 8×8 Adventure was never about making twelve plants look identical. Quite the opposite. The whole point was to give different genetics and phenotypes the same ecosystem and then watch what they decide to do with it. Twelve plants. One room. 12/12 from seed. One general nutritional strategy. One environmental strategy. One lighting ecosystem. And then... genetics take over. Black Diamond Pheno A has developed one expression. Black Diamond Pheno B has developed another. They're sisters. But they're definitely not twins. 😂💎 And at Week 9, that difference is becoming impossible to miss. 💎 The Other Beast Last week, I was talking about Pheno B as the quieter sister. The more reserved phenotype. The one that wasn't necessarily trying to dominate the room. Well... I may need to revise that description slightly. 😂 Because this girl has been steadily building. And now? She's a beast too. Standing around 160 cm, she's developed into a beautiful, substantial flowering plant. But her strength isn't expressed exactly like her sister's. Where Pheno A seems to throw herself into flower production with almost reckless enthusiasm, Pheno B has that more controlled, elegant architecture. She's still tall. She's still heavily branched. She's still carrying flowers throughout her structure. She's still becoming increasingly frosty. She's just doing it in her own way. And that's what I want to document. Not which sister is “better.” But how differently two phenotypes can express themselves when everything around them is kept so similar. ✂️ The Beast Got a Little Grooming This week, just like her sister, Pheno B received some selective defoliation. Again... Nothing extreme. We're not trying to strip the plant down. We're simply opening some space where the canopy has become crowded. A few leaves needed to come out. Some areas benefited from additional breathing room. And as flowering progresses, maintaining a sensible balance between foliage, airflow and flower visibility becomes increasingly important in a room containing this many plants. The goal isn't to change her personality. It's to reveal it. And I think that's exactly what happened. After the cleanup, you can appreciate the structure much more clearly. The flowering sites become easier to see. The branches become easier to follow. And suddenly you realize just how much she's actually carrying. 🌿 Similar Sisters. Very Different Personalities. This is probably my favourite part of this week's update. Put Pheno A and Pheno B next to each other and you immediately know they're related. There are similarities. The overall flower development. The vigorous growth. The healthy foliage. The general Black Diamond character. But then you start looking closer... And the differences appear. Their architecture isn't the same. Their flower distribution isn't exactly the same. Their proportions aren't the same. Their way of occupying the room isn't the same. Their personalities aren't the same. And that's the magic. Same family. Different handwriting. One sister says: "Give me the whole tent." The other says: "I'll take my space, thank you very much." 😂💎 And somehow... both are absolutely beautiful. 🌸 Flower Development Is Getting Serious At this point in the flowering cycle, the flowers are becoming increasingly defined. The calyxes are stacking. The pistils remain abundant. The developing buds are gaining structure and volume. And the resin is becoming much more obvious. Looking through this week's photographs, that's one of the first things that catches my eye. She's getting frostier. The sugar leaves are beginning to disappear underneath the resin. The developing flowers are becoming increasingly coated. And we're still watching that transformation happen week by week. This is where the earlier weeks of growth start paying off. The branches we watched develop. The flowering sites we watched appear. The structure we watched form. Now they're all becoming flowers. And that is incredibly satisfying to watch. ❄️ The Frost Is Arriving I particularly like the close-ups this week. You can see that the resin coverage is becoming much more apparent across the developing flowers and sugar leaves. She's not finished. We're not at the end of the story. But the direction is very clear. She's getting frosty. And I have a feeling that the coming weeks are going to make these photographs even more interesting. This is one of those moments where the plant starts changing visually in a way that's immediately noticeable. Every update seems to bring another layer. More structure. More resin. More density. More personality. 🍃 Healthy Green, Beautiful Structure One of the things I continue to appreciate about Pheno B is her overall appearance. She's maintaining that rich, healthy green. The foliage remains vigorous. The plant has enough leaves to support continued flower development while still responding well to the selective cleanup we've given her. And this is important. Defoliation isn't the objective. A healthy, functional plant is the objective. If a leaf is doing its job, that's valuable. If removing a leaf improves the overall structure of a crowded canopy, that can also be valuable. It's always a balance. And with this girl, I think we've found a nice middle ground. She's still lush. She's still green. She's still unmistakably herself. But now there's a little more room to appreciate what she's building underneath. 💡 Light From Above and Below The lighting experiment continues to be particularly interesting with these two sisters. The main Future of Grow lighting provides the primary overhead illumination. The Lumiflora under-canopy lighting adds another layer of usable light lower within the plant. And with Pheno B's architecture, there's plenty to observe. She's tall enough that different parts of the plant naturally experience different light levels. At the same time, her structure isn't identical to Pheno A's. So once again, the same lighting system is interacting with a different phenotype. That's exactly what I want from this experiment. Not assumptions. Observation. We give them the same opportunity. Then we watch how differently they use it. 💧 Feeding the Black Diamond The flowering nutrition continues according to the same general program used throughout the room. 🌸 Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L 🍋 Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L Current solution is around pH 6.0 with an EC of approximately 2.0 mS/cm. Watering is around 1.3 L per plant / 24h. And once again, the important part is consistency. Pheno B isn't receiving some secret recipe that her sister doesn't get. She's living in the same ecosystem. And yet... she is expressing herself differently. That's the information I'm interested in. 🌡️ Current Conditions Current conditions for Week 9: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: 160 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💧 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: ~1.3 L per plant / 24h The environment remains stable. And that's exactly what allows the comparison between phenotypes to become so interesting. The environment stays relatively constant. The plants write the differences. 📸 This Week's Gallery The photographs this week really show why this girl deserves her own spotlight. The wider shots show her overall architecture. She's tall. She's developed. She's carrying flowers throughout her structure. And after the cleanup, those flowers are much easier to appreciate. The close-ups tell the other part of the story. Fresh pistils. Developing calyxes. Increasing resin. More defined flower structure. More frost. And then you look at her sister... And you realize: These two really are very different. Similar enough that you immediately know they're related. Different enough that you could never confuse one personality for the other. And honestly? That's exactly what I hoped this experiment would show. 💎 The Sisterhood of the Beast I think we can officially say it now. Both Black Diamond sisters are beasts. Pheno A is doing her thing. Pheno B is doing hers. Both have been cleaned up. Both are carrying serious flowers. Both are getting increasingly frosty. Both are looking beautiful. But they are absolutely not the same plant wearing different labels. 😂💎 And that's the beauty of it. You can give two sisters the same room, the same treatment and the same opportunity... and they'll still find their own way. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now I'm watching for the same things I've been watching across the rest of the room: 🌸 Flower swelling ❄️ Increasing resin production 🌿 Continued canopy health 💎 Development of the lower flowers 🍃 Response to the selective defoliation 🔬 Overall maturation And, of course... I'm watching the sisters. Because now that both are entering this heavier flowering stage, the comparison is becoming even more fascinating. Will Pheno B continue building at her own steady rhythm? Will the differences between them become even more pronounced? Will the flowers develop differently as they mature? That's what we're here to find out. 💚 Let This Girl Shine I think this girl has earned her own moment. She's not Pheno A. And she doesn't need to be. She's Black Diamond Pheno B. She's developed her own architecture. Her own rhythm. Her own flower distribution. Her own personality. And now she's showing us another version of what this genetic line can produce. Her sister may be running around the room in full beast mode... but this girl? She's right there with her. Just in her own style. 😂💎🌿 So we cleaned her up. We opened some space. We gave her a little room to breathe. And now... let's watch her shine. Because she's earned it. 💎 Final Thoughts Week 9 is another reminder of why I love this 8×8 Adventure so much. Two Black Diamond plants. Same genetics. Same room. Same environment. Same general feeding. Same lighting. Same irrigation. And still... two completely different stories. Pheno A is explosive. Pheno B is more composed. Pheno A seems determined to turn everything into a cola. Pheno B has her own way of building. But both are beautiful. Both are vigorous. Both are becoming increasingly frosty. Both needed a little cleanup. And both are showing us just how much personality can exist inside the same genetic line. That's phenotype hunting. You don't tell the plant what story to tell. You create the conditions... and listen. And this girl is speaking very clearly now. "I'm not my sister." "I'm my own beast." And you know what? I absolutely love that. Let's make her shine. 💎💚🌿 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and coming back every week to watch these personalities develop. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document, compare, learn and share these journeys. Thank you to Zamnesia for providing the Black Diamond genetics that gave us these two fascinating sisters. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the plants throughout this adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the main lighting driving the room. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting into the experiment and giving us another dimension to observe. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone reading, commenting, asking questions and following these girls week after week. Two sisters. One genetic line. One room. One experiment. Very similar. Very, very different. And now... two beautiful beasts. 💎🔥 Let's make this one shine. Growers Love! 💚🌿💎

​SESSION-AUTO-XXL ​PLANTE : Mac 1 – "Spirit" (Plante #2) BREEDER : Growers Choice DATE DE DÉBUT / GERMINATION : 11/04/2026 DATE DU CUT : 11/07/2026 (J+91 / Semaine 13) STADE : Bilan du Séchage & Verdict Final ​📋 BILAN DU SÉCHAGE & PESÉE FINALE ​Le séchage est désormais terminé et le verdict est tombé. Les chiffres dépassent toutes mes espérances : ​Poids sec total : 231 grammes de têtes dures, lourdes et parfaitement maniables. Un ratio de séchage excellent par rapport aux 694g humides du cut ! ​Branches monstres : La structure de Spirit était tellement dingue qu'une seule branche pèse à elle seule 40 grammes secs, et deux autres branches secondaires ne sont vraiment pas loin derrière sur la balance. ​Contrôle de qualité : Le séchage s'est déroulé sans encombre grâce au combiné de mon ancien secteur et du test sur le DryRocket. Aucune trace de moisissure malgré la densité extrême des buds. ​👃 PROFIL AROMATIQUE & QUALITÉ DES BUDS ​Odeur / Terpènes : C'est une explosion aromatique. Ça sent très fort le citron vif et acidulé, accompagné de ce profil mythique à l'ancienne type Amnesia Haze très reconnaissable. ​Aspect & Résine : Les têtes sont denses, ultra-lourdes, bien compactes et littéralement blindées de trichomes. Sous la loupe, c'est une vraie mer de cristaux. ​Graines de sauvegarde : 3 graines ont été trouvées isolées sur la structure (pas directement enfouies dans le cœur des buds, donc la récolte reste impeccable). Elles sont précieusement gardées en réserve pour une prochaine session en espérant retrouver ce phénotype d'alien. ​💬 MON MOT DE LA FIN & REMERCIEMENTS ​Pour une simple autofloraison, sortir 231 grammes secs sur une seule plante sous tente avec des têtes de cette qualité, c'est une performance complètement hallucinante pour moi. Spirit aura repoussé toutes les limites du début à la fin. ​Un grand merci à Growers Choice pour nous avoir pondu cette magnifique génétique Alien, stable, ultra-vigoureuse et monstrueusement généreuse. Merci aussi à toute l'équipe et à la communauté qui ont suivi les 13 semaines de ce journal passionnant ! ​Le journal de Spirit se termine en beauté, mais l'aventure n'est pas tout à fait finie : rendez-vous très prochainement pour un mini-journal dédié à l'extraction du haschisch réalisé à partir de la montagne de feuilles de manucure gorgées de résine qu'elle m'a laissée ! ❤️❤️

Hello everyone and welcome to week 9 and day 57 for these two Fast Buds Strawberry Bananana Autos. These two have gone mad! Beyonce is 81cm tall and well into flower as you can see. Solange on the other hand was 118cm tall and had passed the light so I super cropped her two tallest colas a few days ago. She is now 98cm Fertigated 10l 4 days ago and 7.5l today. Day 60: Fertigated 10l Day 62: The plants are now too big and/or heavy with bud to move out of the tent to photograph, and so with thanks to @growbigorgohome who suggested it, I have got a selfie stick to do in-tent photography. It's not great but it's better than nothing! Hopefully the videos will show plenty of details. Anyway I am starting to routine again now, the plants haven't gone more than 3 days without feeding, and I should be back to every other day again now. These two girls are really amazing. Beyonce is way ahead in terms of bud development, but Solange vegged longer and stretched more she was so massive I had to super-crop two colas! Anyway they are really motoring along now, I think Beyonce will be ready 2 weeks before Solange. Despite it is only day 62 we are rapidly approaching the end game here.

Things are winding up! Have been flushing #2 for a couple of days. Replacing half the water each day.PPM is under 100 and that's been consistent for a day. The harvest will be going into a dark closet in a day where it will stay for 7-10 days (7 I'm sure), then be jarred for curing. 20 branches harvested! BHB#1 is still packing it on! Guesstimate, two more weeks. Will start flush Wednesday taking 50-75% solution out and replacing with water. Weights will be shared after #1 has dried. Have had a couple 'testers' already and am not disappointed. Harvest was better than my last soil grow and this first DWC was not a disaster. I'm happy with it. Learned a crap ton and will be trying it on the next grow going into flower. Blueberry Headband and a Dinafem DinaMed CBD Plus. Nothing to follow it up. Taking the summer to make fem seeds, clones and hopefully enjoying the Summer. Be safe, everyone and good growing.

Hello Diary. We have reached the end of the third week of flowering, Sherbet Queen is already a real beauty. She reached 89 cm which is one cm more than last week which means she has reached her final height. The flowers fill nicely, the scent is more and more intense and they stick to the fingers to the touch. The leaves are dark green in color and shine in the light. I cleaned the lower part of the plant earlier so that there is a good flow of air through the plant itself. Impressive plant, shape, height, ideal dimensions for my Farm. I water the plants every two days, they drink really a lot of water. This week I added Bio Grow, Bio Bloom and Alg-a-Mic from BioBizz to one watering. The temperature is around 29 degrees, during the day it even rises a little above 30 degrees, but so it is in summer, I hope it will not cause stress to the plants. Here’s what it looked like last week. 20/06/2021 - Day 36. Watering. I added 1ml / lit CalMg to 8 liters of water, I lowered the p.H. at 6.5 and with that amount evenly watered all three plants. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 29 degrees and 60% humidity. 22/06/2021 - Day 38. Watering. This time I just regulated p.H at 6.3. I did not add any nutrients. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 28 degrees and 47% humidity. 24/06/2021 - Day 40. Watering. I added Bio Grow 1.5 ml / lit, Bio Bloom 1 ml / lit and Alg-a-Mic 1ml / lit. p.H. I dropped to 6.4. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 31 degrees and 52% humidity. 26/06/2021 - Day 42. Watering and photography. p.H. I dropped to 6.5. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 28 degrees and 45% humidity. That’s all from me for this week, thank you all for your support, see you soon.

Still smooth sailing. Both plants are growing well and are starting to become frosty. The intensity of the smell is increasing by day. Unfortunately the Purple Lemonade isn't really purple. We'll see about that.

Day 9 flower: Orange Sherbet: This girl is a pleasure to grow so far. Her budlets dwarf the others in the room so far and at only 9 days flowering , shows a good indication of the overall finish she should have. she is packing buds on all over her structure now and following her defol on day 7 , she has really pumped them up. The shogun boost is a killer concoction it seems. Cannot fault this lady at all to date. She is slightly tacky now too which is a shock for her age. Cookie Kush : This lady is a midget !!! She is a lot smaller than other kush strains i have grown but looks healthy enough. I think her housemates dont help as they are all such good growers. She is big enough to keep up with the canopy but will need encouraging constantly to match them at some point.

The time has come to pass for this super cool Red poison auto from Sweet seeds. The one bud beauty has been fun from the start. It took as much time trying to figure out what 16oz was in English and then actually find a 473ml cup, as it took this girl to germinate. I've mentioned before it was a picture entry from this this comp previous that drew me to grow diaries in the first place. (Yes I'm a bud slut, don't judge) Back to miss Red P, she has taken the usual beating of me forgetting to water and feed a few days, a neglect that all my plants enjoy at some stage of their lives. She started life in a converted shoe cupboard grow thing and ended her weeks in the main converted wardrobe where alongside the usual cheap LEDs she has had a few doses of the old UVB 10 reptile light. *Giving her a fantastic sugar looking crystal coating. My opinion through some research and personal experimentition* Although nuits problems showed in her leaves in the second half of her growing life and some forgeful watering, they produced some stunning, ever changing colours, which were ironically a nice change to see from the regular grows of green and would probably have been more concerned if it was happening to one of the other girls. The Purple to Red coloured main bud is bigger than the cup itself and weighs a ton. I had to put support in last week to hold her upright. Her leaves look fake and plastic as my wife commented, true too which makes for a nice look I've never seen before. perfect timing on the grow time although I could have harvested earlier to be fair but the bud just kept getting bigger and well, you know. .. As of writing I've not posted the root pics but will soon.. . Honest... I just like looking at her for now.. . Every now and then a quick admiring close up look at them buds..... I just don't want to part with her yet ok. give me time!
