Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. Flushed last week and I'll flush this week too. I like to flush, I get better taste because of it. I'm pleased with this strain. The buds are hard and have a good smell and the plant are holding up their branches covered in buds. I see a couple of branches heading for the floor though. That's my way of gauging how heavy my buds are. When I water later, I'll tie them up. This is the last week for these lovely girls. Smells like metallic skunk with some sweet orange undertones in the basement. But when I touch the buds and smell my fingers, I get more of a sweet musky orange skunky smell. Smells delicious. Not just a straight cat pee smell, but something I might want to smoke, with some flavor to it. I'll post some pictures before I harvest next week. Ok. Be Great. Chuck.

Week 3 - I’ve started adding .2ml CaMg/half gallon PH 6.3, Watering every couple days. These are gonna be next level Strong ! It already smells like Straight up Dank. Fastbuds RF3 Genetics is truly showing out ! I’ll update next week. Comment your Go 2 Strain ?

Day 26 of flower, plants are looking beautiful, no signs of stress

OK, So I'm into final 14days and started Flushing them on water. So every 3days I will change the water until 14days are up. Then I can begin to harvest and hang finally lol. It's been alot to learn and take on board this run I am jist hoping the final product is as beautiful as she smells and looks. I do not there is still growth spouting and hair that are still white. However I am assuming that another 14days will be sufficient and that all hair would have turned Amber. Speak soon. Peace and love growmies. ❤️

These ladies continue to develop very nicely and lucky stopped stretching pretty much in the beginning of this week and the buds are forming super nicely. Since I also don’t observe a stretch in flower anymore, I decided to feed pk13/14 for the next week. It continues to surprise me how hungry these autos are, much hungrier than my glookies fro example. Unfortunately I realized that the plant on the very right of the box produces much smaller buds than the other two. I am pinning that on the fan right above her, so have pointed it slightly higher, but I guess the damage is done:(.

Life's been a bit crazy, so I haven't been able to update, but the 5x9 is really filling out. Week 4 of flower is up—the stretch is complete (hopefully... lol), the bud sites have formed and are beginning to stack. I was able to install the Blumat Blusoak tape automatic watering system last week, and it has eliminated 90% of the work I have to do. It truly is incredible when you get these automatic watering systems dialed in, just how much the plants LOVE them and how much time they save for you. I opted to connect the Blumats directly to the water under the sink because my ceilings are not high enough to achieve the PSI needed for the Blusoak tape to work properly via gravity. I attached a 15 psi pressure reducer as well as a chlorine filter (to make things easy on the microbes). Doing this guarantees that the pressure is always there whenever the plants want water. The only downside with hooking it up directly to the sink, is it makes challenging to measure just how much water the plants are consuming, as there is no reservoir that you can monitor. The other negative with hooking it up directly under the sink is the potential for flooding. Until I receive and install my water "flood" sensor, I will be extra diligent about checking for leaks to avoid any floods. I will continue to check the plants over the coming weeks to make sure the Blusoak tape is keeping the top evenly moist and hopefully avoid any kinks, leaks, or issues... Overall, I couldn't be happier with how this tent is filling out-- the Chicken 'n Wafflez have stretched practically to the light and one Jelly Donutz, in particular, has incredibly sweet, jammy, candy terps. I can't wait to see how the smells from this tent develop over the next several weeks. Happy Growing, Growmies! 😎

FBT2403 has a sweet fruity smell. I did a solution change on her today. She had minor damage due to ph jumps. So I figured she was ready for a fresh mix to bulk on. She is growing good outside of that ph issue. A few more weeks and she will be ready for harvest.

Lit Marker is turning out to be a real powerhouse! It's one of my biggest plants so far, and it looks just like my Black Valentine. They must be from the same company or family, because those similarities are uncanny. Last week was awesome! I finally got around to giving all my plants a little upgrade – I repotted them into some bigger homes. They're all looking so happy and healthy now, it's crazy. I can't wait to see how much they grow this year!

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A | Week 1 Flower | A Diamond Beginning to Shine Every grow has one plant that naturally draws your attention, not because it’s demanding, but because it quietly keeps outperforming expectations. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A is quickly becoming one of those plants. From the very beginning, she has shown remarkable vigor, stretching confidently while maintaining excellent health, strong branching, and beautiful symmetry. Now, as she officially enters her first flowering week, she’s proving exactly why documenting individual phenotypes is so rewarding. Although every plant in this project shares the same environment, feeding program, lighting, and training philosophy, every seed expresses its genetics differently. Black Diamond A has chosen height, elegance, and relentless vertical growth, creating what is already becoming one of the tallest structures inside the tent. This grow continues using my favourite challenge: 12/12 From Seed. Rather than extending the vegetative stage, every plant is flowered from the day it emerges, allowing each phenotype to naturally reveal its own strategy for growth, stretch, and flower production. It creates a unique opportunity to compare genetics while maximizing efficiency inside the grow room. ⸻ 🌱 Environment Just like the rest of the flowering room, Black Diamond A has enjoyed another week of remarkably stable environmental conditions. 🌡️ Day Temperature: 31.1°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative Humidity: 72% 🥤 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 21.6°C ? Root Zone Temperature: 21°C ☀️ Light Schedule: 12/12 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm Rather than chasing perfect numbers every day, I focus on creating consistency. Stable root temperatures, balanced humidity, continuous airflow, and healthy root-zone oxygenation allow each plant to dedicate its energy toward growth instead of constantly adapting to environmental fluctuations. ⸻ 🌿 Training & Canopy Management Training remains intentionally simple. Throughout the week I’ve continued using gentle Low Stress Training while regularly tucking large fan leaves behind developing flowering sites whenever needed. No defoliation has been performed so far. The goal isn’t removing leaves—it’s allowing them to continue acting as efficient solar panels while simply repositioning them to improve light penetration and airflow. As new flowering sites develop, small adjustments are all that’s needed to expose each future cola without unnecessarily reducing the plant’s photosynthetic capacity. With such vigorous vertical growth, this approach is producing an open canopy while preserving every bit of energy available for flower production. Sometimes patience is the best training technique. ⸻ 🌾 Feeding Program As Black Diamond transitions fully into flowering, her feeding schedule continues to bridge vegetative growth and bloom development. Current feeding includes: • Plagron Terra Grow — maintaining enough nitrogen to support the final stretch. • Plagron Terra Bloom — increasing phosphorus and potassium availability as flower production accelerates. • Plagron Power Roots — keeping the root system active and healthy throughout the transition. • Plagron Sugar Royal — supporting terpene development from the earliest stages of flowering. • Plagron Pure Zym — improving nutrient uptake by recycling old organic material around the root zone. • Plagron Power Buds — encouraging the hormonal transition into full flower while maximizing bud site initiation. This balanced nutrition allows the plant to continue stretching strongly while simultaneously investing energy into building the foundation for the weeks ahead. ⸻ 💎 Phenotype Spotlight Black Diamond Pheno A has become one of the true standouts inside the room. Standing at approximately 100 cm, she is among the tallest plants currently growing under this project, displaying a graceful structure with long internodal spacing and exceptionally vigorous vertical development. The flowering transition is now well underway. Fresh white pistils are emerging across every branch, and bud sites are beginning to stack from the lower nodes all the way to the main apex. Rather than producing isolated flowers, she’s already showing excellent distribution across the entire plant, promising multiple productive colas instead of relying solely on the main top. What impresses me most is how effortlessly she carries her size. Even with her height, the branches remain well balanced, the stem is thick and healthy, and the overall structure feels surprisingly stable. She has responded beautifully to gentle LST, opening the canopy naturally without ever looking stressed. There is still plenty of stretch left, but the focus is clearly beginning to shift. Every day more pistils appear, every node becomes more defined, and the framework for what could become a very productive harvest is steadily taking shape. Sometimes a plant doesn’t demand attention—it simply earns it. ⸻ 🔭 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect Black Diamond A to continue stretching while the early flower clusters begin merging into recognizable bud formations. Leaf tucking will remain the primary form of canopy management, helping maintain even light distribution without removing healthy foliage. Nutritionally, the transition toward a full flowering program will continue as her appetite increases and flower production accelerates. If she maintains this pace, there’s every reason to believe she’ll remain one of the dominant plants in the room throughout the remainder of the cycle. The structure is there. The health is there. Now it’s time to watch those flowers begin to fill every branch. ⸻ A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for providing the genetics that make projects like this possible, and to Plagron for supplying the outstanding nutrient line that continues supporting these plants through every stage of development. Finally, thank you to the incredible GrowDiaries community for following this journey week after week. Your comments, questions, encouragement, and shared passion for growing are what make documenting every phenotype such a rewarding experience. I hope these individual journals help demonstrate just how unique each plant can be—even when they’re raised side by side under exactly the same conditions. Until next week… Growers love and happy Growing! 🌱💚

The blueberry gelato was great, cured up lovely, got me nice and high. The cannacotta was decent, not my favorite, got me very high but the flavor wasn't there. The slurricane was kind of bland to start with but cures up lovely, wasnt my first choice of smoke though. The blue cheese was classic blue cheese, might have let it go too long though, didn't find any herms in there but 2 plants went to seed. The zookies was amazing, definitely my favorite from the crop, buds nice and dense and after a short cure it was a stinky one.

Ci siamo quasi ancora qualche settimana 🍉👹

My new babies from Divine Seeds have arrived. 🙏😇 I gave them a cozy new home. Looking forward to seeing their little heads poke out. 😊 Boobies for scale. 😋

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2205 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Mars Hydro Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 1/19- Here we go into Week Four of flower and these testers are ON FIRE!🔥🔥🔥 Both testers are in a flower frenzy and are ready to eat! Today I gave both girls their last top dressing with Down To Earth 4-8-4 Flower Mix at a ratio of 2tbsp/g and Coast of Maine's Stonington Blend 5-2-4 Organic Plant Food at a ratio of 1tbsp/g which I simplified by using 1/3 cup of the 4-8-4 and 1/4 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 4g pot and 3/8 cup of 4-8-4 and 1/8 cup of the 5-2-4 in the 3g pot. After working the amendments into the medium, I watered it in with 1g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. It will take a week for the microbes to begin breaking it down and will last for 3-4 weeks after that which should coincide with them finishing up, or close to it, enabling them to naturally 'flush' themselves out. I've also increased the power to the HLG 650R's the the Trolmaster Hydro X Controller to 75% which has them pulling 990w at the wall and have them hung 32" above canopy. I also starting adding in 4 hours of UVA during the middle of the light cycle for the remainder of flower. I've been monitoring their leaf temperatures and they're running 71-73℉ which is perfect! I have the AutoPilot APC8200 co2 Controller set to 1100ppm with a 100ppm window and the AC Infinity Cloudline T6 controller set to maintain a 74℉ temperature in the tent while the lights are on. 1/21- I'm watering these thirsty girls daily with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉ and they're both thriving! The #1 pheno stays in a perpetual state of 'praying'.... a VERY happy girl she is and the #2 is just enormous with tons of bud sites and flowers that are starting to get a coating of white trichomes giving her that frosty appearance! 1/23- I watered/fed both testers today with 0.75g of de-chlorinated water each with GreenGro's Natures Brix, Granular Myco and Flower Finisher mixed in, after which I added 1 tsp/g of unsulfured molasses and then ph'd it to 6.6 @ 74℉. They'll be getting straight water from here moving forward as the medium has enough food in it to support them until they finish. 1/25- Daily watering continued today with both girls receiving 0.75g of straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.6 @ 74℉. Both testers are extremely healthy and in max flower mode. Both testers are looking amazing and always in a constant state of 'praying'! I'm really looking forward to Week Five of flower where these ladies should start to look epic! 😍💚 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

This has been one hell of an experience. I respect outdoor growers a lot more after growing this beast. Everyday was a battle once I got home from work. I would go through each cola to remove any bugs I saw. Very happy with the minimal damage I got but next time around I have something in store for you guys. It has been a lot of work trimming this but it’s all done and I got a fair share of everything. I have made an ounce of kief so far, some canna salve, a pound of canna butter and still have lots left will probably make some wax and oil with @farmerbrett since he got a monster yield as well.0

Welcome Back!💚 Die fünfte Blütewoche ist nun vorbei und es bilden sich Dichte und kompakte Blüten aus. Diese Woche war es an der Zeit der Pflanze einen PK Komposttee zu verabreichen. Es entwickelt sich ein süßes fruchtiges Aroma, welches sich aber noch nicht auf den beschriebenen Geschmack zuschreiben lässt. Aktuell lässt sich beobachten, dass die Pflanze sich um die Blütenausbildung kümmert. Die Werte im Zelt sind durch den Kälteeinbruch nochmal etwas anders. Aber super im Rahmen: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 22°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 46% VPD: 1,21 kPa 😎PPFD: 830 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

As I dive deeper into week 6, the flowering stage is officially in full swing. I can feel the excitement in the air as the plants begin to transform into their beautiful selves. This week, I've continued to band and apply Low-Stress Training (LST) techniques, ensuring that the branches are positioned just right for optimal light exposure. It's all about maximizing potential, and I'm committed to giving them every advantage possible. I've also been diligent with defoliation, carefully removing some leaves to improve airflow and light penetration. It's a delicate balance, but I believe it will pay off as the flower start to form. I've been sticking to the full schedule of the Canne Terra set, and the plants are reacting exceptionally well to both the feeding and the LST. Their growth is vigorous, and I’m pleased with how robust they’re looking. A fascinating development this week is the emergence of a subtle, sweet smell. It’s a delightful reminder that the plants are truly in their element. I can't help but relish this part of the journey. With the buds on the horizon, I’m eager to see how they will develop in the coming weeks. The anticipation is palpable, and I’m ready for the rewards that lie ahead. Here's to another exciting week in the garden!
