Day 50 the plant has been growing at an incredible speed and has a very very large flowering stretch in fact I only have left 5 inches to raise up my light and then I'm going to have to do something to keep an eye on those branches so they don't stretch anymore or at least they can have enough light to proper development. From all the plants I have grow indoors this one is the only one that has make my light stretched to the top of the tent I guess it's a good problem to have. Other than the incredible stretch the plan seems to be healthy and doing pretty well the flower is development and I'm looking forward to see how this is going to turn out. Day 52 I have rise my light to the top as high as I can and she still grow past the light towards the exhaust system I had to tie her down in order to create an arch and in that way make her receive enough light instead of growing over the top of the light where there is actually no sufficient light if this problem persist I will have no choice but to do super cropping on the tallest branches and see how they react to that I decide to take some cuttings I'm trying to clone this one to see if I can get her outside in the summer in another buddy house and see how she reacts to challenging Ontario weather. Day 53 I have to Super crop several branches Unfortunately they were growing straight into the light becoming burned by the intense light I hope the plant doesn't react to bad to HST and still deliver awesome buds thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

This strain is a really nice strain to grow and if you are a dessert 🍨 person you would love this strain, tho I lost all my main tops to mold nugs was to big and to dense, so lots a ventilation needed for this strain.

We are in flower ! Trainwreck is doing great, the defoliation delivered the shape I wanted like always, simple training but can change the plant shape a lot. The flower stretch went super well, I think she will stretch a bit more but should be almost done. I cleaned the lower branches completely to avoid any problems down below, better airflow and less risk for Pm etc. Still not using any nutrients, all living soil from Sonnenerde.

8/27 I think I mightve been overwatering. It's so hard to tell when the conditions change week to week. That's Maine for ya. Bags were still heavy and plants were soaked. I tried to shake the more advanced flowering plants without sending water everywhere. That's how septoria spreads. The event horizon I treated with plant doctor looks the best it ever has. It's tile for another application on the toasted toffy. I'm seeing a few spots again. I didn't have time to take pictures or do a video. This video is from last night. I'll treat that toasted toffy again today and I'll record it here. After I see it working u may treat the others. I see some residue of k bicarb but it has pretty much eradicated the pm. I know it will always be there but these treatments seem to be working. I'll be adding beastie bloom to my line up soon. EVERYDAY I go over the buds are bigger more compact and dense. Event horizon, toasted toffy and the red runtz (I think) in the 50 are flowering to beat hell! The get bigger everytime I see them. I can smell them as soon as I round the corner. This is going to be a good year. These strainsxare high in thc. Maybe I gave up some mold resistance and a harder to grow strain but if I can make it to the end it will be fire. WENT BACK OVER AROUND 5. OBVIOUSLY IN THIS SCORCHING 80°+ day the seedling in the 10 was dry as a popcorn fart. Some other plants seemed dry when I stuck my arm down the bag but I could feel some moisture when I pushed my finger through the medium. They WILL need water but I'm not giving it to them tonight. Took a shit ton if pictures and a video this morning. I'll uploadcthat shit tomorrow. I'm trying to do a couple right now. Anyway I continued to defoliate what needs it. Flowers are swelling. I GAVE THE TOASTED TOFFY ITS 2ND TREATING OF PLANT DOCTOR. I USED A QTR GALLON OF A 4 TSP PER GALLON MIXTURE. I MADE SURE TO GET AS MUCH OF THE FOLIAGE AS POSSIBLE AND THEN I USED THE RESTCON THE MEDIUM. I SHOULDVE PROBABLY WATERED THAT ONE BUT ITS GOING TO RAIN TONIGHT. AT LEAST I HOPE IT IS. Looks like some of the pics are uploading! Yay! The plants looked the best I've ever seen them tonight so I held off watering. My wife is I'll and may need to go to the hospital. So instead of watering prematurely I can monitor the situation and make a decision in the morning. I made enough phed water for my father to go around and water everything. He is aware of the situation. Hopfully that will not be necessary. However, I don't want to over water and I feel like they didn't want it. Just going with my intuition. It's done me pretty good so far. 8/28 Luckily no hospital. It's sprinkling out. Plants are covered in water so we got SOME rain. It says we will get 0.00 but that can't be right. I watered the 10 yesterday and everything else this morning with a gallon each except the middle gmo in the 30 which got 1.5 gallons. Did not water the one in the 50 gal pot. It looks a little overwatered. Also looks like it has a slight calcium/magnesium deficiency. I'll up the calmag and i'll make sure when I do water I'll water thoroughly. Like usual toasted toffy is looking better after the treatment. The all star has been the k bicarb. I haven't seen shit for pm. Just a little residue from the k-bicarb. Took a video and some pictures. This is the fun time. I like watching the buds develop. Some of these plants were monster cropped so they are STACKED. I'll keep what I do updated. 8/29 Made an awesome video today bit it won't upload. Probably because its a little over 2 minutes. I'll do another one if it won't upload. Nope it won't even attempt to upload it now. Oh well. They flowers just looked so pretty this morning. I noticed some WPM on the event horizon in the middle. I noticed SOME on the bottom and interior of the GMO that I had already identified. I'll do another k-bicarb treatment and see how that goes. Plant Doctor seems to he doing a pretty good job on the septoria on toastedctoffy and my favorite event horizon. That plantvis THICK. it's going to be stacked and have some huge colas. I need to LST it and suppirt those giant colas and separate them a bit more. There is never any shortage of work to be done I can tell you that. I have defoliation to do on the sherb pie and the middle event horizon. It seems like crisis after crisis. Bu my plants are STRONG. 8/30 It was in the 40s at 6am. Shook off the plants. Bags are still heavy. I see some septoria climbing a bottom branch of the toasted toffy. It's foggy as hell out. Can't see a foot in front of me. Saw a LITTLE PM on the gmo I've been treating. It's just time to apply the ki bicarb. Plant Doctor is working wonders on even horizon in the back. I see some pm on the one in the middle. I think I'll treat that with plant doctor as well. I'm not sure. I messed up the video. I've got work to do. I'm waiting until I water and I'll feed again. I'm going to add beastie bloom to the lineup this time I think. Only one plant seems like it m9ght be too early for it. We'll see. I need to look back. I'll document what I do. Video won't upload. I'll try later but it's sideways WENT OVER AROUND 3PM AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FABULOUS. WELL....THE PLANT I DIDNT WATERCLAST TIME IN THE 50 WAS DROOPING SO I GAVE IT A GALLON AND A HALF. THE TEN WAS LIGHT SO I GAVE IT A GALLON. IT WASNT DROOPY BUT ITS A HUGE PLANT IN A 10GAL AND USES A LOT OF WATER. I WAS PLANNING TO GO CHECK THEM TONIGHT AND SEE IF THEY NEEDED WATER BUT EVERYTHING IS PRAYING TO THE SUN! I DONT WANT TO OVERWATER AND I BELIEVE THESE WOULD BE BEST SUITED TO BE WATERED IN TGE MORNING. ILL FEED THIS TIME AS WELL. IM CONSIDERING ANOTHER APP OF K BICARB. TOOK A FEW PICTURES AND VIDEOS BUT ILL NEED TO UPLOAD 8/31 FED AND WATERED EVERYTHING. TOASTED TOFFY DIDNT GET FED DUE TO SEPTORIA AND THE 10 ISNT FAR ENOUGH ALONG.. THE 50 WAS WATERED YESTERDAY BUT GOT THE FEED WITH A LITTLE MORE WATER THIS MORNING. I ADDED ABOUT 1/16 TSP BEASTUE BLOOM TO THE REGULAR LINEUP TO SEE HOW IT GOES. MY BUDDY TOLD ME LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH PM. I WENT BACK OVER TO DEFOLIATE AND LOOK FOR PM AND I FOUND IT. ON THE GMO INTETIOR AND SOME BOTTOM BRANCHES. I DEFOLIATED WHAT WAS BAD AND THEN I SPRAYED 3 GMO'S, EVENT HORIZON IN THE MIDDLE AND SHERB PIE WITH K-BICARB. HOPFULLY THAT WILL KEEP THINGS OUT OF CONTROL. I WILL BE WATCHING AND KEEPING UP WITH FUNGACIDES. IF I FIND ONE NOT WORKING ILL SWITCH IT UP. I HAVE A FEW OPTIONS. BUDS ARE EXPLODING IN GROWTH! WINDY OUT. I SAW A SECONDARY BRANCH LIMP AND MY GEART SUNK. I LOOKED DOWN THOUGH AND SAW THAT IT JUST WAS BLOWN HATD AGAINST THE TOMATO CAGE AND SNAPPED. I REMOVED IT WITB A SIGH OF RELIEF. MY BUDDY SAYS THE SEPTORIA DOESNT LOOK TO BAD AND ITS PRETTY FAR IN FLOWER SO HE THINKS ILL BE ALRIGHT. NEVER GROWING CLONES AGAIN. ILL STICK TO SEEDS AND STEAINS MADE FOR MAINES 9/1 Forgot to write an entry. IT RAINED FOR A BIT BUT TURNED TO BRIGHT 80'S 9/2 WATERED EVERYTHING. I THINK ITS TIME FOR ANOTHER TREATMENT OF PLANT DOCTOR TODAY. The septoria is getting a little worse. The buds are swelling everyday though. I think this plant only has a month left. I just need to outrun it. So far so good. I think my watering habits are better now. It's different depending on weather. Potassium bicarb has been wonderful treating the pm on that gmo. I treated the middle event horizon with it as well. It seems to work awesome. I'm losing tons of leaves. I hope that's normal senescence. I think it is seeing as how I see SOME foliage in the woods. Its matching other diaries. The plant must shed some leaves to make these flowers that seem to double in size every time I see them! Trying to upload a couple videos but they are long so we'll see what happens. WENT BACK OVER AT NIGHT ANDCAPPLIED A LITTLE BIT OF K BICARB AND DEFOLIATED WHAT I SAW ON THAT GMO. IVE BEEN DEFOLIATING WHAT SEEMS LIKE A LOT BUT BUDS ARE SWELLING AND ITS CONGRUENT WITH THE MAJORITY OF MY DIARIES. I WISH I HAD PERFECT CONDITIONS BUT I DONT. I TREATED THE EVENTHORIZON WITH PLANT DOCTOR AGAIN. I USED APPROX A QTR GALLON OF 2 TSP/GALLON AND TRIED TO AVOID BUDS WHILE STILL GETTING THE LEAVES. I KINDA USED THE REST AS A SQUALCH SINCE I HAD WATERED THIS MORNING. THE WIND WAS STRONG. I ADDED A GARDEN STAKE AND ROPE SUPPORT TO THE TOASTED TOFFY AND ATTACHED IT RIGHT TO THE FRAME OF THE CAGE. LOOKS GOOD FOR NOW. ILL KEEP THINGS UPDATED.

Tangerine Dream Auto - Barney‘s Farm Mein erster Indoor Keller-Grow neigt sich dem Ende zu. Es ist bunt geworden im Zelt. Die erste Blüte habe ich bereits vaporisiert und bin ziemlich begeistert vom Geschmack und der Wirkung. Leider habe ich aufgrund persönlicher Umstände nicht im Ansatz geschafft hier ein paar Tagebücher zu führen. Es war für mich ein extrem stressiger Winter und ich bin froh, dass ich wenigstens regelmäßig ein paar Fotos machen konnte. Der Anbauraum hatte zwischen den Pflanzen gemessen eine Minimaltemperatur von 17,4 Grad und während der Vegetationszeit konnte ich die Auto-Damen Tagsüber mit bis zu 28 Grad unter einer Sanlight Evo 4-120 1,5 verwöhnen. 18/6 - Licht/aus. Die Luftfeuchtigkeit war in der Veggiephase bei ca. 65-75 Prozent im Zelt und in der Blütephase konnte ich sie Stück für Stück absenken auf 55-43 zum Ende hin. Gedüngt habe ich ein einziges Mal mit 1:20 sauberem Urin am Ende der dritten Woche. Ansonsten gieße ich auf das Terra Preta ähnliche Substrat ausschließlich mit hartem Leitungswasser mit Ph 7,6. Das Substrat wurde kurz nach der Sämlingsphase mit einer dicken Schicht Laub, Braun- und Grünschnitt Mulch abgedeckt, welchen ich zuvor dreißig Minuten bei 150 Grad im Ofen gedämpft habe (Sterilisation). Es kamen Nematoden, Raubmilben und Gelbtafeln zum Einsatz, weil wir mit einer ziemlich unangenehmen Trauermückenplage zu kämpfen hatten. Anfang der Blütephase kam es zu einer Nährstoffblokade aufgrund von Überwässerung. Das Substrat hält die Feuchtigkeit sehr lange und die Mulchschicht verhinderte ein Austrocknen des Substrats. Wir haben anfangs deutlich Zuviel gegossen und das Substrat nicht etwas austrocknen lassen. Nach Anpassung des Gießintervalls auf alle drei Tage mit ca. 2-2,5 Liter, löste sich das Problem nicht in Luft auf, aber wir konnten es aufhalten. Meine Pflanzen sind bereits geerntet und hängen zum Trocknen. Viel Spaß mit den farbenfrohen Bildern. Happy Growing! 💚

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 12 | When Every Cola Really Does Look Like a Main Cola 💎👑🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well... At this point, I think we've officially passed the stage where this is a surprise. 😂 Black Diamond Pheno A is still doing it. Again. And again. And again. Everywhere I look... MAIN COLA. 😂💎🌸 I swear, this girl has apparently decided that the concept of "side cola" is simply not part of her vocabulary. She's growing beautifully. She's building incredibly dense flowers. She's becoming heavier. She's getting more impressive every week. And the funniest part? I'm not really doing much. I'm watching. I'm observing. I'm admiring. And occasionally standing there thinking: "Jesus Christ..." 😂😂😂 Because those colas are getting BIG. We're starting to reach the stage where the main cola is looking like a baseball bat... or at least getting into that kind of arm-sized territory. And then you look around... and the rest of the plant is basically saying: "Don't forget about us." 😂💎👑 So... let's give this incredible Black Diamond girl the spotlight she deserves. Because she is absolutely shining. ──────────────────────── 💎 WEEK 12 – THE MAIN COLA FACTORY ──────────────────────── Last week I said that every cola looked like a main cola. Well... I'm afraid I have absolutely nothing new to report on that front. 😂 Because she's still doing exactly the same thing. Everywhere. 🌸 The main cola is getting bigger. The side colas are getting bigger. The branches are carrying more flower. The entire plant is becoming increasingly dominated by these beautiful, dense flowering structures. And at this point, I've stopped trying to decide which one is supposed to be "the main." 😂 The main cola? Obviously. But then... there's another one. And another. And another. And another. So perhaps the correct terminology for this girl is simply: "Black Diamond Pheno A and her collection of main colas." 😂💎👑 That seems more accurate. ──────────────────────── 🏏 THE BASEBALL BAT IS ARRIVING ──────────────────────── Now... let's talk about that main cola. Because this is where things are becoming seriously impressive. 😂🔥 She's getting BIG. Not just long. Not just pretty. Substantial. The main flowering structure is becoming thick and dense enough that the baseball-bat comparison doesn't feel completely ridiculous anymore. 😂🏏🌸 And when I look at her from different angles... you can really appreciate how much flower is being packed into that structure. It's not just a long flower. It's a substantial cola. And she's still developing. That's what makes it so exciting. We're watching the plant move from: "That's a nice cola." to: "Okay..." to: "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" 😂😂😂 And somehow... I think we're getting closer to the last category. ──────────────────────── 💪 ARM-SIZED? SHE'S GETTING THERE ──────────────────────── I'm going to be careful with the comparison... but honestly... look at her. 😂 That main cola is getting to the point where "arm-sized" doesn't sound completely insane. It's substantial. It's dense. It's long. And it's becoming one of the most visually dominant structures on the plant. But here's the funny part. The main cola might be the baseball bat... but the rest of the plant is still throwing beautiful flowers everywhere. They're not all baseball bats. Let's not get carried away. 😂 But they're still beautiful, substantial colas in their own right. Which brings us straight back to the original Black Diamond problem: How many main colas does one plant actually need? Apparently... all of them. 😂💎👑 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE SIDE COLAS ARE NOT SIDES ANYMORE ──────────────────────── This is something I really love about this phenotype. Usually, when we talk about side branches, there's an implied hierarchy. Main cola. Secondary cola. Side branches. Smaller flowers. Not with this girl. 😂 Her side branches have become serious flowering structures. They're not just filling space. They're contributing to the overall presence of the plant. You can look at one branch and think: "That's a beautiful cola." Then move your eyes two branches over... "That's another one." And another. And another. The whole plant is becoming a collection of substantial flowering structures. That's an incredible characteristic. And honestly... it's one of the things that's making this phenotype so memorable for me. ──────────────────────── 🌿 STRONG AS HELL ──────────────────────── And here's another thing I really appreciate about her. She's heavy. Very heavy. But she's strong. 💪🌿 Despite the amount of flower she's carrying... despite those enormous developing colas... despite the weight increasing... she's not asking for a forest of supports. She's standing there. Strong. Solid. Doing her thing. And that's something I really admire. Because visually, when you see those flowers, you immediately think: "That must be heavy." And yes... it absolutely looks heavy. 😂 But the plant itself is holding her structure beautifully. That's a characteristic I really like seeing. Strong plant. Strong branches. Dense flowers. Beautiful architecture. And absolutely no shortage of personality. 💎👑 ──────────────────────── 👀 I'M MOSTLY JUST WATCHING ──────────────────────── And honestly... that's probably the biggest change in my role with her right now. I'm not doing much. I'm observing. That's it. We're at that stage of the run where I don't feel the need to constantly interfere just because I can. The plant has already established herself. The structure is there. The flowers are there. The branches are doing their job. And now... she's building. So I watch. I look. I photograph. I check. And if something actually needs attention... then we deal with it. Otherwise? Let her work. 😂🌱 Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply not get in the plant's way. And Black Diamond Pheno A seems perfectly happy with that arrangement. ──────────────────────── AMAZING GENETICS SHOWING THEMSELVES ──────────────────────── This girl has really become one of those phenotypes where the genetics are speaking loudly. Very loudly. 😂💎 The structure. The density. The number of substantial colas. The strength of the plant. The way the flowers are distributed. The overall architecture. It's all becoming increasingly distinctive. And that's one of the most exciting parts of phenotype hunting. You start with a seed. You don't know exactly what you're going to get. Then week after week... the plant starts revealing herself. And eventually you reach a point where you think: "Oh. I know who you are now." And with this girl? I think we're getting there. She's a serious flower builder. She's strong. She's dense. She's beautiful. And she clearly knows how to use the space she's been given. 💎🌿🌸 ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM – COMPLETELY HER OWN EXPRESSION ──────────────────────── And once again... let's remember where she is growing. Same 8×8. Same general environment. Same 12/12 schedule. Same irrigation system. Same nutritional foundation. Same lighting philosophy. Same upgraded Future of Grow setup. And yet... look at her. This is exactly why I love this project. The room provides the common stage. The genetics write the individual story. Every plant gets the same general opportunity. And every plant decides what to do with it. Black Diamond Pheno A has apparently decided: "I'll take those photons... and I'll turn them into main colas." 😂☀️💎 Fair enough, girl. ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE PHOTONS – MORE CAPABILITY ──────────────────────── The upgraded lighting setup remains in place. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures have given the room considerably more lighting capability. We don't need to run them at maximum output. Instead, we've brought the power down to approximately: 💡 ~59% from the plug giving us approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally varying depending on plant height and position. And this is something I really appreciate about the setup. We have the capacity. We control the output. And then we watch what the plants do with the environment. Black Diamond is certainly showing us what she's capable of doing. She's building. She's stacking. She's becoming denser. And she's creating some seriously impressive flowering structures. 💎🌸☀️ ──────────────────────── 🌸 DENSE COLAS – EVERYWHERE ──────────────────────── The density is another characteristic that keeps catching my eye. These aren't just loose, wispy little flowers. They're becoming substantial structures. Dense. Full. Developed. And when you look across the plant... there are so many of them. That's what gives her that incredible visual impact. It's not just one impressive flower. It's the combination. Main cola. Side colas. Lower branches. Upper branches. Everywhere you look... another beautiful flowering structure. 😂💎🌸 It's almost unfair to the camera. There's simply too much to photograph. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK ──────────────────────── This girl is becoming a photographer's nightmare. 😂📸 You line up the main cola. Beautiful. Then you notice one behind it. Beautiful. Then another on the side. Beautiful. Then you realize the whole branch is loaded. Beautiful. Then you step back... and the entire plant is doing it. 😂 At some point you just give up trying to choose. Take them all. That's the only solution. And that's exactly what I love about these weekly reports. The photographs don't just show a flower. They show the evolution. Week after week. You can see the plant becoming more substantial. You can see the colas gaining presence. You can see the structure becoming increasingly dominated by flowers. And Black Diamond is giving us one hell of a visual story. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL PART OF THE PACKAGE ──────────────────────── Of course... we can't forget the frost. 💎❄️ Because underneath all that size... there's still plenty of sparkle. The resin continues to give those flowers that beautiful crystalline appearance. And when the light catches the structures... they really do shine. That's one of the things I love about photographing her. From a distance: "Big plant." Closer: "Big flowers." Closer still: "Oh..." 😂💎🔬 There's another layer. The frost. The texture. The detail. The individual flower structures. That's what makes the plant so rewarding to photograph. ──────────────────────── 🌿 STRONG, DENSE & BEAUTIFUL ──────────────────────── If I had to describe this phenotype in a few words right now... I'd probably go with: 💎 Strong 🌸 Dense 👑 Substantial 🌿 Beautiful 🔥 Impressive And maybe: 😂 "What the hell did I grow?" Because that one keeps coming back. 😂 She's becoming a seriously impressive plant. And the best part? I'm not forcing it. I'm not constantly manipulating her. I'm watching her reveal herself. That's the exciting part. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ SAME NUTRITION – SAME FOUNDATION ──────────────────────── The nutritional programme remains consistent with the rest of the room. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... we're not trying to create a special world around Black Diamond. She's part of the same room. Same general feeding foundation. Same environment. And she's responding in her own way. Which is exactly what this project is designed to document. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 12 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same conditions. Different plant. Different expression. Different story. 💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE DOESN'T NEED MUCH FROM ME ──────────────────────── That's probably the thing I appreciate most right now. She's not asking me to reinvent anything. She's not asking me to constantly intervene. She's simply growing. And my job is to watch. Observe. Support if necessary. Adjust if necessary. And otherwise... leave her alone. 😂🌿 There's something very satisfying about reaching this stage. Earlier in the grow, there can be a lot of decisions. A lot of movement. A lot of planning. A lot of intervention. Now? The plant has become the main character. We're just watching the story unfold. And Black Diamond is writing a damn good one. ──────────────────────── 🏏 ONE BASEBALL BAT – MANY MAIN COLAS ──────────────────────── So let's officially establish the current situation. The main cola? 🏏 Getting into baseball-bat territory. Possibly approaching the kind of arm-sized visual presence that makes you stop and stare. 😂 The rest? Not baseball bats. Let's be reasonable. 😂 But still... beautiful. Substantial. Dense. And absolutely deserving of the "main cola" title in their own right. So perhaps the final terminology is: 🏏 One giant main cola. 🌸 A whole collection of smaller-but-still-serious main colas. 😂💎👑 That sounds about right. ──────────────────────── AN AMAZING PHENOTYPE TO FOLLOW ──────────────────────── I'm genuinely excited about this girl. And I think that's worth saying. Not because I want to predict where she'll finish. Not because I'm trying to crown anything. But because she's giving us something really interesting to document. She's strong. She's structurally impressive. She's producing dense flowers. She's creating substantial colas throughout the plant. And she's doing it consistently. Week after week. That's what makes a phenotype exciting to follow. You start seeing patterns. You start understanding her personality. And you start realizing: "This is what she does." Black Diamond Pheno A? Apparently... this is what she does. 😂💎🌸 And I absolutely love it. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW ──────────────────────── At this point, my job is mostly observation. I'm watching: 🌸 The continued development of those massive colas. 💎 The density and resin coverage. 🌿 The strength of the branches as the flowers continue to build. 👑 The main cola as it gets even more substantial. 🌸 The side colas as they continue to develop into their own major flowering structures. 📸 And, of course, the photographs. Because I want to capture this evolution properly. There's no need to rush the story. There's no need to predict the ending. We're simply watching. And right now... what we're watching is beautiful. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – SHE JUST KEEPS DOING IT ──────────────────────── Week 12. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. And at this point... I don't even know what else to call her. 😂💎👑 She's still doing it. Still throwing main colas everywhere. Still growing beautifully. Still building dense flowers. Still getting heavier. Still standing strong. Still making herself noticed. And I'm still standing there looking at her thinking: "Beautiful." Then: "Beautiful." Then: "Beautiful." 😂💎🌸 She's one of those plants where you don't really need complicated words. Just look at her. The main cola is becoming enormous. The side colas are following right behind. The flowers are dense. The plant is strong. The structure is impressive. And she's doing all of this while we're mostly just observing. That's the beautiful part. The plant is doing the work. We're giving her the environment. We're giving her the light. We're giving her the nutrition. And then... she writes the story. And what a story she's writing. 💎👑🌿🔥 So let's give this incredible phenotype the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's admire that baseball-bat main cola. Let's admire all those side "main colas." Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate the strength. Let's appreciate the genetics. And let's keep watching. Because I'm genuinely excited to see where this girl goes from here. She's already exceeded my expectations. And she's not finished surprising me yet. 💎🌸👑🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share these experiments with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover and follow this absolutely beautiful phenotype. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls evolve. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This 8×8 Adventure continues to show us something I never get tired of seeing: Put different genetics into the same general environment... and they will tell you completely different stories. Black Diamond Pheno A is telling us a particularly beautiful one. 💎👑 Strong. Dense. Beautiful. Heavy. Loaded with colas. And apparently completely unwilling to accept the idea that only one cola can be the main cola. 😂💎🌸 She's doing her thing. I'm doing mine. She's growing. I'm observing. And for now... that's exactly how I like it. So let's give her the spotlight she deserves. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching those flowers bulk. Let's admire that giant main cola. Let's admire all those beautiful side colas. And let's see just how much more this amazing phenotype has left to show us. Because honestly... I'm excited. Very excited. 💎🌿👑🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where one cola is apparently never enough, the main cola is becoming a baseball bat, the side colas are pretending they're mains, and Black Diamond Pheno A continues to make the definition of "main cola" completely irrelevant. 😂💎👑🌸 Let her shine. 💚

Unfortunately I had to take the photos a little earlier this week as I'm traveling. I think the biggest stretch is finished. In the meantime, the little one exudes a pleasant fruity smell. Day 56 Photoshooting Defoliation

This plant has a solid stench of pure ripe lemons. So much aroma and color in every bud, purples, to dark green, to lime green, to solid frost. This one definitely a fun strain to watch grow and tend too for the last few months. She’s definitely a hungry girl, seemed to be the only strain out of the three that accepted and thrived with full feed nutrients. Would definitely recommend this Strain to someone For a nice uplifting day smoke, also seems to do me good for some pain and stress relief.

Week 6 update: What up Grow family. These testers are growing fast and strong. Where in week 6 now and the swelling and ripening of flowers are going amazing. Still feeding 500ml/16oz daily as I've found that's the sweet spot for 3gal fabric pots for these. I'd say these probably have about 2 weeks left until they'll be finished. All in all Happy Growing.
