I'm still learning to run the autopot system. I switched the nutrients from canna terra to canna aqua. The top leaves are getting little yellow. Maybe calmag. I'll be doing some extra leave feeding with calmag. Hope the green is coming back.

All the baby's are in great shape the mbap's are taking to the scrog well loads and loads of bud sites The grape walker kush are getting nice and big I esspesially like the look of the mainlined/folded one structure is nice and open Now the gold glue by topping this seems to have really done it well more open branchy structure much Easyer on training this one is going to be interesting .........

2nd week of flushing, no time to yield and dont kind letting it rest a bit more . As expected this royal cheese auto is not giving much, the terp Profile is there but you really gotta smell the bud to get the terp profile. Will upload the yielding too as soon as i get to do it. Happy growing, good people 💚

WEEK #20 – WE'RE GETTING JUICY Final Stretch (or so). -2/-1 weeks for SMC and -1/0 weeks for Skywalker *Haze* according to Dutch Passion standard. So we're a bit overdue. But with the size of the plants, who cares? Still very little healthy plants, no signs for "end of life". Checked trichomes on top buds regularly: Milky way is here, but still not much amber. In fact not noticeably more than last week. Skywalker (to be expected) still a bit behind. But i can see additional calyxes forming (green/fresh pistills), so totally worth the wait. 😍 This time i cropped the detail shots to avoid the mediocre resizing of growdiaries. It's fun to just look at the plants, i hope you can imagine as well now. Regarding smell, it hit me today 😰. SMC smells like fruit loops - not kidding. Well, a bit of fuel/diesel smell in the air, but full sweet fruitiness. 1-2 more weeks, fingers crossed. 😺

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 1 Flower | Grace in Every Stretch Some phenotypes command attention through explosive growth. Others quietly impress by doing everything right. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B belongs firmly in the second category. As she enters her first week of flowering, she continues to display remarkable balance, combining vigorous vertical growth with an elegant, open structure that allows every developing flower site to breathe and receive excellent light. While her sister has become one of the stars of the room, Pheno B is proving that consistency can be just as exciting. One of the greatest joys of growing multiple phenotypes is watching identical genetics express themselves in unique ways. Every plant in this project shares the same environment, nutrition, lighting, and training techniques, yet each develops its own architecture and personality. This grow also continues my favourite challenge: 12/12 From Seed. From the moment each seedling emerged, they have grown under a flowering light cycle, allowing every phenotype to reveal its natural strategy for stretch, structure, and flower production without an extended vegetative period. Week by week, Black Diamond Pheno B is proving just how well this technique can work. 🌱 Environment Another stable week inside the flowering room has allowed the plant to focus entirely on healthy development. 🌡️ 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 I've always believed that consistency wins over perfection. Stable temperatures, healthy root conditions, reliable irrigation, and continuous airflow allow the plant to dedicate its energy to growth rather than constantly adapting to changing environmental conditions. That stability continues to pay dividends. 🌿 Training & Canopy Management The training philosophy remains exactly the same. Gentle Low Stress Training continues shaping the canopy while regular leaf tucking helps expose developing flowering sites without removing healthy foliage. No defoliation has been necessary. Instead of taking leaves away, I simply reposition the larger fan leaves whenever they begin shading future bud sites. This keeps the canopy open while allowing every healthy leaf to continue acting as a solar panel, producing the energy the plant will soon need for building flowers. Sometimes the smallest adjustments create the biggest long-term results. 🌾 Feeding Program As flowering becomes established, the nutrition program continues supporting both the final stretch and the beginning of flower development. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Bloom — supplying phosphorus and potassium as flower production accelerates. • Plagron Power Buds — supporting the hormonal transition into flowering and encouraging the formation of additional bud sites. • Plagron Sugar Royal — promoting terpene and resin development from the earliest flowering stages. • Plagron Pure Zym — improving nutrient availability by breaking down old organic material around the root zone. • Plagron Green Sensation — introducing a balanced flowering stimulant to support early bud formation while preparing the plant for the weeks ahead. The feeding program remains well balanced, with healthy dark-green foliage, vigorous growth, and no visible signs of nutrient stress. When a plant looks this comfortable, there's little reason to change what's already working. 💎 Phenotype Spotlight Black Diamond Pheno B has developed into one of the most elegant plants in the entire room. Now standing around 120 cm, she has become one of the tallest phenotypes in the project, stretching confidently while maintaining excellent structural balance. Her internodal spacing is slightly more open than some of the other plants, creating a naturally airy canopy that should become a real advantage later in flowering by improving both airflow and light penetration. Fresh white pistils are appearing across every branch, and flower sites are forming consistently from the lower nodes all the way to the main apex. Rather than rushing to produce dense flowers immediately, she seems focused on building a long, evenly spaced framework that promises multiple productive colas over the coming weeks. What stands out most is how effortless her growth appears. Despite her height, the stem remains thick and sturdy, the branches are well positioned, and every part of the plant feels balanced. She has responded beautifully to gentle LST, opening naturally without ever showing signs of stress. One thing has become increasingly clear throughout this project: Zamnesia's Black Diamond genetics are proving remarkably stable. Standing beside her sister, the similarities are impossible to ignore. Both phenotypes share outstanding vigor, beautiful structure, and excellent health, while still expressing enough individuality to make documenting each one worthwhile. Sometimes the best genetics don't create identical plants—they create consistently exceptional ones. 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the flowering stretch to begin slowing as more energy shifts toward flower production. The small clusters already forming along every branch should start connecting together, gradually transforming this elegant framework into long, well-defined colas. Gentle leaf tucking will continue helping maintain an even canopy while preserving every healthy fan leaf that contributes to photosynthesis. If she continues developing at this pace, she's well on her way to becoming one of the standout performers in the room. The framework is complete. The roots are thriving. Now it's time for the flowers to take over. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing these fantastic Black Diamond genetics, and to Plagron for the nutrient line that continues supporting every stage of this journey. I'd also like to thank the incredible GrowDiaries community for following these phenotype journals week after week. Your encouragement, questions, and shared passion are what make documenting each individual plant such a rewarding experience. Watching sisters grow side by side while expressing their own unique personalities is one of the greatest pleasures of every grow. Until next week... Growers love and Happy Growing! 🌱💚

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 56 Took some glamor pics with black background - not really for vanity (although there's a little) but for contrast. I see more of the lockout issue better in the pics this way. - on that note, the ph seems to be working as it's been two days since defoliation and knitting needle ph correction, and the progression is way slower than it was on the last leaves at 3rd day of identifying. So with that, room VPD of 1.07kpa seems stable enough with temps about 76F/65%RH/33%ILV I released the binds today to let her grow without them until they crowd each other too much and I need to restrain - so in a couple of days at max. Day 62 Transfer day. Although at first I didnt think I would be able to until Saturday, I got pots and plant saucers today, so I ended up going ahead and doing it. Started by calibrating/testing both meters. Double checked the soil mix from yesterday as the last time I used wood ash the ph rose the day after... however this time it was fully mixed to I wanted to know if there would be a higher ph - it was the same as yesterady - 5 reading avg of about 6.35 - the slurry of 1:1 soil and 7.7 ph water was tested at 6.3 also. Made about .75 gallon of 75/25 veg/bloom juice water at 500ppm feed water. Tried to ph read the soil in the pot and seen it go from 6.6 down to 6.35 (took video) in the dry soil, so I decided to use the 6.35 new soil reading and ph balanced the feed to that. Used the needles since it was 7 days since the last feed and I am using such a small amount. Poured over needles in 8 places and pulled each out to let water down. the vacuum pulls the water down when I lift the needles. Then I mixed 5tsp of Dynomyco to the 5 gallons of new soil and mixed really good. I placed a layer of perlite on the bottom of the 10 gallon pot and then layered in some soil. Then with the help of my wife we pulled the plant out of the pot and placed it in the 10 gallon. I place back in the tent and added about a quart of plain de-chlorinated water evenly over the new and older soil to help bind them. I reduced lights by 100ppfd to have about 505 and 500 at center colas and 430 lowest on outer ring with most at 450 and 470 highest. Soil to light is 35 inches and the plant is about 14 inches so about 21 inches from leaves to lights. I left the ring off today and will rebind as needed tomorrow after she rests. Today the leaves look wilted and limp. Also reduced humidity to 60% so 58 to 65% should be the range and the temps are 73F with the lights lower. PPFD was higher with the new growth - unbound and tucked in for better cola/light position, it reads 570 to 580 on outer colas and 590 at both center branches Day 57 Getting 1 more day out of free range growth before I tie her back against a ring. So in that time I decided to take a few vanity pics. Overall the ph block seems to have slowed or stopped and she's back to growing again. Will be thinking about flip at the end of this week or so. VPD same stats 76F/65%RH/33%ILV - ppfd right at max so I'll likely tie her off tomorrow. 605 600 in center and 580 to 590 at the outer ring. Day 58 VPD stats mostly steady again today - 76F/65%RH/33%ILV - ppfd was checked after LST, measured 600 at each center cola and the outer ring measured between 550 and 590 most at 580 So as I said, I did LST today to bind her more out while the 4 center 4 colas fill the middle. I had to bind to the pot base instead of the ring as the colas are still a little short to reach for binds at the ring just yet. There's a lot of space to fill and a few (about half) of the out colas are sideways for now. Had a break at the center cola when I tried to pull it back for bind. I knew to hold the branch at the node but forgot to do it here and heard a "snap" ... taped the crack and moved on - will monitor obviously Day 59 Did more light LST to ensure the branches are growing where I want. PPFD was mostly the same as yesterday only now there are more colas around 560 than 580 on the outer ring with the center colas at 610 and 590 (front cola was tied down to spread more away from the ring and fill center better. vpd same as past week or so 76F/65%RH/33%ILV Last feed was on day 54 and the soil still seems damp so I will check again tomorrow for the next day. (Day 61) The broken branch doesnt seem to have affected either side of the split as both sides seem to have grown a little with little to no wilt or drooping leaves. Im hoping it heals okay and doesnt delay flip to recover more; still monitoring. Day 60 Did some light LST today by releasing the lower binds to the pot and attached as couple to the outer ring now. So far I only have to bind a few as most are already holding where i want them to. Took the tape off the split and seen I didnt seel the gap closed when I taped it so now Im considering a drop of super glue to bind the branch back in hopes it grows onto the other side again. If not at least it would be more secure than it is now. And since it's a main split for 4 colas, I dont want too restrict it by binding at the split and potentially cutting off the nutrient pathways. ppfd after LST was 610 and 600 after more LST and the outer ring is still ranging 550 to 580 with more at 560 now. VPD same as I havent messing with any of the variables. 76F/65%RH/33%ILV Soil is a bit dry and it's been 5 days since the last feed flush, so I have about 3 gallons of tap burning of chlorine now for a feed tomorrow morning. Might still update again later if I find superglue... found some superglue - tried to take pictures but I cant hold, squeeze the applicator, and film with just two hands. So the idea gets through, I did both sides. On a side note I discovered a root popping out of the soil from the top. Covered it up but wasn't sure if I should be concerned. Day 61 VPD same as it's been for most of the last week - 74F/65%RH/33%ILV PPFD was recorded after I turn the plant a quarter turn for the smaller colas struggling to get over he ring's edge to have more light. Most colas at 580 with a couple at 600 and a couple more at 550 - center colas are hitting 615 and 620, but I have plancs to reduce in the next couple of days now On that note, the root growing out of the top tells me that she's hungry and needs more root space, even if that means growing through the top of the soil. So I plan to transplant to a 10 gallon and flip after the recovery. After reviewing more of NugBucket's journal I realized this is why he moves them when growing 16 colas. New pots should be here Friday so I should be able do it on Saturday. So I prepped soil (using more Happy frog with mycorrhizal fungi already growing in it for a few weeks) with de-chlorinated tap water Started by ph testing the soil and the water (4 readings on soil at 5.03 avg) - added about 1/2 cup total of wood ash to bring up the ph , mixed and tested again - added water at (about 7.7 ph) and tested again... last 5 readings in soil was 6.24,6.3,6.35,6.37,6.38 avg of 6.328 - covered and let rest until needed. Since I plan to transplant in a few days I felt it would be best to 'lightly' feed tomorrow, again on transplant day, and again 2 to 3 days later. Since my wife was taking pics at this time, I could only find this one to show the roots growing into the perlite then we planted it in the bigger pot. -------- (Day 62 root base picture from above) I have a hypothesis that says these are so short because I intentionally tried not to move the plant without the base stand to keep it from grinding these up and allowed them to grow in the last 2 weeks. This is that test picture/results. I like the idea of better/more drainage, but thinking I am doing more harm each time I hear those gravel pieces crunch as it cuts those and forces the plant to look somewhere else for root space. Notice how the small root lines have no finer pieces or laterals grow out from these - I believe that is because they are so new in growth and that the perlite chewed up the smaller laterals even with little to no movement over the last two weeks I would like to see a root ball experiment that exposed the roots throughout the grow but for now I can see these roots do grow into the base perlite and need to be handled carefully if you want them to grow more freely or with a standard pot size. As you can see Im not root bound but my plant thinks it is and is growing roots out the top.

Day 57 the plant has been growing healthy and fine but she is a slow grower . I know that most of the growers in this platform and elsewhere do defoliate and trim down all the lower branches of the plant so that the plant can concentrate all its energy into the higher bigger and better buds .and I do not do this because I drive the plants very hard with nutrients and those lower branches with small buds always give me the first sign of anything going wrong with her and that's why I leave them as a buffer zone to protect the bigger buds and that way I can push her as hard as I want. not much to mention about her thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

Critical x Animal Cookies is doing good now after the too much nutrition at start. It stunned her pretty good. She has been making good progress under the Hortibloom Solux 350 considering. I just switched light times today to 12/12. She got some training all around, and is ready to go. Thank you Hortibloom, and Ripper Seeds. 🌱👍🏻🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

I think it’s about flushing time for Gorilla Zkittlez. She stinks up the whole room. Carbon filter ain’t cutting it. Lol Gorilla Cookies on the other hand is getting huge. I think she should pull some nice weight. She’s stacking up trichromes and starting to smell pretty good. A weird smell but it’s good. Idk how to explain it. 😎 That’s all till next week. 🤙🏽💪🏽

Week 4 is now Here and running into some issue with bug spray really did a number on my girls. The XL Haze plant bounced back quick, Thank God for good gene. This week I will also raise the light a bit to get the girls to stretch a bit more. This week will also be the first day the girls get a some actual nuts

Saw a weee bit of the hints of nutrient burn on some of the leaves. The other day i tested pH and it rode up to 6.8 to 7.0 so i wanted to run a little extra water through and out the bottoms of the pots for a bit of a flush. I pH'd the water to 6.00 exactly with about 900 ppm mix in each bucket. I ran 5 Liters through each 3 gallon fabric pot and allowed 5 minutes or so for drainage. Then put them back in their saucers and back in the tent. I jammed a bamboo stake down into the roots ripping and tearing roots apart as i go muuahahahahaha! They gonna be chunky fuckers in a few weeks they'll need the support. Next watering, Thursday. Perhaps a 650ppm mix then. I'll check pH tomorrow and the fuckers better be back down where i want them! OR ELSE! lol Seeyaz next week! Growing weed is easy. Only dimwits make it complicated.
