It all started out even under the scrog when something came up I tucked it under but for some reason I have a little uneven canopy I'm not complaining it's the first time I've ever tried it I just wish I could figure out why I have that uneven now on the side that's growing a lot I have reflective material on that side and I'm thinking maybe that's the only thing it could be I see a little nuke burn at the tips of the leaves but he's okay I went with pure RO water this time she should be flushed pretty good now

The overfeeding on the center plant becomes apparent, but it still takes me a while to realize it and I kept feeding it the tomato fertilizer.

Well from everybody today is day 56 and as you could tell, we are still training... Are sixteen shoots are filling out nicely now. This has Ben and it is going to be a long veg time. And that's mainly because I don't have room in the other tent to flip her to flower so I decided to take my time and do a bunch of training, because I have all the time and the world to do it... I initially was going to run her naturally, but one of my plants is way bigger than I anticipated, so there's just not the room yet.. but that's okay, because this girl's gonna be awesome when she's done... This is one of those trust, the processed things.. thank you so much Kannabia seeds for this grow, she has really taking everything well, which is a testament to your genetics.. i think in a couple more weeks she will be nice and bushy and ready to go into 12 and 12.. hope everybody's doing well.God bless and happy growing โœŒ๏ธ

Day 30 for this girl and shes getting fatter every day, she smells fruity and very pleasant on the nose. Very strong aroma. Very pleased with her so far, and I'm already tempted to do another run of this girl. Highly recommend, she can take a heavy feeding. Also her first sign of brown pistols were showing today which normally indicates harvest is 3 weeks away, however I only harvest based on the trichomes and the overall maturity of the plant. Nice to know I'm not too far now. Being an 8 week strain I may let her go to 9/10 weeks. Cant wait to see what she produces. So far soooooo good! Back with an update soon. Stay tuned. FlavoursUK.

Welcome! Week 7 flower! I'm dying in anticipation. Part of me just wants to stare at it forever, because I'm pretty sure the color will get darker when its dried Pistols are turning orange top, so getting closer. I took a few videos this time. One shows the Mars Hydro lights, and my tents I'm using. The other is the best I could do to capture the beauty of this plant. I wish I had a tent full of only her. I cut way back on nutes, I only plan to feed one more time and will be checking the trichome color next week. Overall I'm super happy ๐Ÿ˜„ If you have some colorful grows going let me know and I will check it out Thanks for checking out my med grow, see you on week 8.

So this week saw lots of frost and leaves praying all day now . The buds are starting to stack nice and smells are strong of fruit and skunk . I've done my contest shots for Christmas entries on both the picture and video strain reviews . Wish me luck ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ˜ƒ.. this is still water only with microbes added in every two weeks now .. may add a bloom next week one time ..

๐Ÿ’Ž Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B Week 9 | The Other Beast ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž 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. ๐ŸŒฑ One Room. Two Black Diamond Stories. The 8ร—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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž And at Week 9, that difference is becoming impossible to miss. ๐Ÿ’Ž 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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 โ€œbetter.โ€ But how differently two phenotypes can express themselves when everything around them is kept so similar. โœ‚๏ธ 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. ๐ŸŒฟ 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." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž And somehow... both are absolutely beautiful. ๐ŸŒธ 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. โ„๏ธ 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. ๐Ÿƒ 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. ๐Ÿ’ก 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. ๐Ÿ’ง Feeding the Black Diamond The flowering nutrition continues according to the same general program used throughout the room. ๐ŸŒธ Terra Bloom โ€” 2.2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L โœจ Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ‹ Lemon Kick โ€” 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. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Current Conditions Current conditions for Week 9: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 9 ๐Ÿ“ Height: 160 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: 29ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 60% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.0 โšก EC: ~2.0 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ง Solution temperature: 25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 26ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚: 636 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ฆ 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. ๐Ÿ“ธ 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. ๐Ÿ’Ž 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž 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. ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead Now I'm watching for the same things I've been watching across the rest of the room: ๐ŸŒธ Flower swelling โ„๏ธ Increasing resin production ๐ŸŒฟ Continued canopy health ๐Ÿ’Ž Development of the lower flowers ๐Ÿƒ Response to the selective defoliation ๐Ÿ”ฌ 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. ๐Ÿ’š 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ 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. ๐Ÿ’Ž Final Thoughts Week 9 is another reminder of why I love this 8ร—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. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following the 8ร—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. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ Let's make this one shine. Growers Love! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž

It was a busy week full of events. I got them a 600 watts HPS light and microbes to help them grow faster. I finally started the trellis netting to even the canopy and get more from the lights and I also spray the plants again for bugs. I found out that I've been using powder nutrients on my reservoir and that's probably why I've been getting floods two or tree times a week and now the valve is open only when I'm there, because I'm sick of cleaning and I took that little sick plant out. My cats have her now.
