Hi gromie's welcome to week 8. These girls are going great, started flushing on Monday 11/11/24 with plain ph'd water and Resin from Green Planet Nutrients at 2ml/ltr. I also reduced watering to just 2 times a day for 15 minutes on each time. Just trying something different as I usually do high fertigation . 15 minutes on watering cycle every 2 hours. From what I've read, I was hoping they would draw moisture from within themselves to help with drying but also some people believe it can increase THC?? It has worked at bringing out some more of that beautiful colour with in the buds but you can really notice the back plant has started canabilising itself! Starting to see some really nice fading of colours on the vegetation of the plant at the back, which is something I don't usually get with hydro because you usually feed them right to the end & Only need to flush for 2 to 3 days. Gave them a long flush this time. I've been waiting on a new microscope to arrive to check trichomes, but these girls are looking about done going off pistills turned orange/brown & curling in , Calyx closed & swelling up, looking really frosty!!! Will harvest this week! As I need to get veging plants into Flower Come on Grow diaries get your act together!!! I'm tired of updating my Diary only to see it's all wrong, things have been changed, put my day temp at 28°c save it & it shows -2°c & it's like that All through the diaries????

Que hay familia, estamos de nuevo actualizando, y es que traigo la quinta semana de floración de las Kritical de la web de GrowBarato. En este diario dejare más imágenes ya que tengo algún ejemplar más. El color es correcto las carencias ya las solvente. Van progresando adecuadamente todas sus flores, esta semana añadiré el ExplotaCogollos de Agrobeta. Ya os comenté que estamos en la recta final y una vez solucionadlas las carencias solo les queda engordar y compactar bien. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Las maximas de temperatura no superan los 25 grados y las mínimas no bajan 20, así que no me puedo quejar. Los niveles de humedad también son los correctos van entre 50%/65% de humedad relativa. Por supuesto el Ph lo estamos dejando alrededor de 6. Hasta aquí es todo, buenos humos 💨💨💨.

She's looking very nice at the moment,seems to be enjoying and she's recovering so quickly.hope she gets big enough before flower starts which is gonna be a little complicated but it's Okey,she's a beautiful genetic,very strong, she's being fed 100% organically with bacteria,lactobacillus,bat guano, seaweed powder without any chemical substances. Thank you for watching guys 🌱💚❤️💛

Has a strong smell already in week 4 of flower

Chopped the purple fruit/diesel smelling plant

had darkness since wednesday

It's getting there 🙂

Plants have started stretching & are showing signs of pre flower. Here we go! The moment I’ve been waiting for 😁

With the majority of trichomes now turned milky with some turning Amber, i have decided to begin a 10 day flush using nothing but ph balanced water. Doing a shorter than normal flush as the plants with deficiencies don't have much nutes to use up.

Another Hurricane Beryl Survivor. I will let her dry out for a few days and add come charcoal with molasses for the buds.

Moby 1 :bueno después de sacar la segunda tanda de esquejes decidi dejar que empiese la flora para esta Moby 1 ya que cumplió su función de ser madre hago esto porque tebgo más de 2 esquejes ya y más por enraizar y quiero tener slgo de producción de exterior antes de la primavera no va a ser fácil ya entramos en invierno desde ayer y ya las moches están muy frías!! Ya voy a sacar foto de donde la pongo arriba una tipo alfombra q cuelgo en una soga para taparla de la helada la maceta con naylon tipo burbuja qué frena un poco el frío del balde de 10L y además la apoyo arriba de otra maceta para q no este cerca del frío del piso o en el piso ya que se enfriara mucho y crecería más lento. Moby 2 :Todavía en vegetativo después de sacarle un par de esquejes también solo que quisiera q crezca más para pasarla a flora,sempece la flora en exterior ya q 3n la carpa tengo los esquejes enraizando y uno ya solo en un balde de 7 L aproximadamente la tengo 4 hs a la obscuridad de noche al lado de la Moby 1 y después la entro y la dejo en un pasillo con luz común led blanca como refuerzo.

3/25/2023 Week 6- Day 1 of Veg (Day 52 overall) Added my first between changes SILICA Top offs. Was worried that when you add it to pre mixed Nutes that it can make the whole thing turn into a gummy looking substance. I was ready to drain the system and start it over for the week if needed, but no issues adding it to the tank. the Silica going into the Res didn't gummy the system up, it did drop my PH by quit a bit causing me to have to bring it back in balance. 36 Gallons in the Tank Silica Add .5mil/Gal = 18Mil I topped some that needed to be topped, I defoliated some that needs to be defoliated. Since I have moved into Week 6 I have increased the light intensity up to just over 500 maxing it out for Veg Cycle. Next increase will be Week 1 of Flower. 3/26/2023 Week 6- Day 2 of Veg (Day 53 overall) All conditions looked great. Other than me not putting one of the humidifiers back right which means it didn't work last night so Humidity was lower than I like. But got the Humidifier back on it's stand correctly and it is now pumping away. With that I decided to give the plants a day off from any stresses, no topping, no FIMing, no Defoliation for today. Just some good old soaking up the light rays and the ability to get all the Nutes they would like.. 3/27/2023 Week 6- Day 3 of Veg (Day 54 overall) Looking kind of Bushy today, so I defoliated some, and topped some. 3/28/2023 Week 6- Day 4 of Veg (Day 55 overall) PH was a little lower than I like 5.74 so I added a few Mil of PH UP and brought it back up to 5.94. Not much else at this stage, just I topped a little and I defoliated a little. 3/29/2023 Week 6- Day 5 of Veg (Day 56 overall) Topped a little, Defoliated a little Watched them grow!! 3/30/2023 Week 6- Day 6 of Veg (Day 57 Overall) Main action today was breaking down my old tent and setting up a new tent and getting my second RDWC system setup and ready for clones. I Topped a little, I Defoliated some and started taking a good look at what I would like to take for clones in the coming days. I have a few bottom branches that look every promising for my clone material on each. 3/31/2023 Week 6- Day 7 of Veg (Day 58 overall) #3 is at 16" Tall #2 is at 13" Tall

Tag 30 : Ich entlaube etwas und biege die Seitenarme weiter runter, dafür nehme ich Holzspieße und Pfanzendraht. Tag 32: Mir scheint als sei die Pflanze eine Automatic! Sie blüht einfach weiter! Tag 33: Zur Stabilisierung habe ich ein Netz eingebaut, und gieße jetzt noch mit Blütedünger weiter, mal schauen was ob und was noch aus der Pflanze nun wird.

Good afternoon gromies 😄 😇 😊 Week 9 was absolutely crazy. All my girls start to achieve an about high. White Blueberry she is amazing, she isn't crazy tall like her sister "Uber-lato" but 116cm in Day 64 is enough 😇 She have a beautiful structure and she's developing amazing flowers. They are dens and growing one by each other 😇 I love it !! Have a good night, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇 🙏 😊

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 11 | When Every Cola Looks Like a Main Cola 💎👑🔥 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Okay... I think Black Diamond Pheno A has officially reached the point where I don't even know which cola I'm supposed to call the main one anymore. 😂💎 Because honestly... LOOK AT HER. Everywhere I look, there's another beautiful flower. Another tall, developed cola. Another structure that looks like it could have been the main top. And another reason to stop in front of this girl and just stare for a moment. She's big. She's beautiful. She's impressive. She's making herself noticed. And she's doing it without needing any special treatment compared with the rest of the room. Same room. Same environment. Same lighting upgrades. Same nutrition adjustments. Same 12/12 schedule. And yet... Black Diamond Pheno A has decided to interpret all of that in her own spectacular way. And I absolutely love it. 💎🔥👑 ──────────────────────── 💎 EVERY COLA LOOKS LIKE THE MAIN COLA ──────────────────────── This is probably the easiest way for me to describe what I'm seeing this week. Every cola looks like a main cola. 😂 Normally, when you look at a plant, your eyes naturally find the dominant top. You see the main structure. Then you look around at the side branches. With this girl? I'm having trouble deciding which one deserves the title. Because one catches my eye... Then another. Then another. And suddenly I'm standing there thinking: "Wait a minute..." "Isn't THAT supposed to be the main cola?" 😂💎 She's built such a beautiful distribution of flowering structures that the entire canopy is becoming a collection of major players. And I love that. She's not relying on one star. She's created a whole team of them. 👑👑👑👑 ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE STILL MAKES HERSELF NOTICED ──────────────────────── Some plants quietly sit in the room. You walk past them. You appreciate them. Then you continue. Black Diamond? No. 😂 She makes herself noticed. Every single time. She's one of those plants where your eyes naturally go toward her. Part of it is the size. Part of it is the structure. Part of it is the amount of flowering she's carrying. And part of it is simply... she has presence. She's big. She's substantial. She's developed. And now that the flowers are becoming increasingly dominant throughout the structure, her personality is becoming even stronger. She's not asking for attention. She's simply impossible to ignore. 💎🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE TAKING OVER THE CONVERSATION ──────────────────────── Earlier in the run, we talked a lot about structure. Then we talked about flower formation. Then resin. Then colour. Then weight. Now? The flowers are basically taking over the entire conversation. 😂🌸 They're everywhere. And they're becoming increasingly substantial. The beautiful thing about this phenotype is how consistently she has built throughout her structure. She didn't create one impressive top and leave everything else behind. She's built a whole network of flowering sites. And now those sites are developing into substantial colas. Which brings us back to the problem... How exactly do I choose the main cola? 😂 I don't think I can. So let's just call them all main colas. Problem solved. 💎👑 ──────────────────────── 🔥 A CANOPY FULL OF MAIN COLAS ──────────────────────── There is something incredibly satisfying about seeing this kind of development. You look across the plant... and instead of seeing one obvious dominant flower surrounded by smaller ones... you see a whole collection of developed flowering structures. That's what catches my eye with Black Diamond right now. The canopy has depth. The flowers have presence. The branches have purpose. And the whole plant looks like it's putting every part of that structure to work. She's not wasting much space. She's filling it. And she's doing it beautifully. 🌸🌿💎 ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME ROOM. SAME UPGRADES. HER OWN EXPRESSION. ──────────────────────── And once again, this is where the 8×8 Adventure gets really interesting. We're not changing the rules for Black Diamond. She's sharing the same room as everybody else. The same overall environmental strategy. The same irrigation system. The same nutritional program. The same 12/12 lighting schedule. And now... the same upgraded lighting setup. We've added the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. After seeing the initial PPFD was higher than we wanted, we've brought the fixtures down to around: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally less depending on canopy height and position. Black Diamond is receiving those photons just like the rest of the room. But look at what she's doing with them. She's building. She's stacking. She's developing. She's turning those photons into an entire army of main-cola-looking structures. 😂💎🔥 ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE PHOTONS. MORE POSSIBILITY. ──────────────────────── I really like what the lighting upgrade has brought to the room. Not because we're trying to force the plants to do something. Quite the opposite. It's about having the capability. We're not running the fixtures flat out just because we can. We're controlling the output. We're finding the level that makes sense for the room. And then we let the plants respond. Black Diamond is certainly responding. She's looking strong. She's looking substantial. And she's continuing to develop beautifully. The artificial sun is there. The photons are there. The plant decides what to do with them. And this girl has apparently decided: "Flowers." Lots of them. 😂💎🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌱 LET THE PLANT DO THE WORK ──────────────────────── This is something I keep appreciating more and more as the run progresses. At this stage... we don't need to be constantly interfering. The framework is established. The plant knows what it's doing. The flowers are developing. And our job becomes much more about observation than intervention. Keep the environment stable. Keep the irrigation consistent. Keep the nutrition appropriate. Keep the air moving. Keep the lights where they need to be. And watch. That's it. Black Diamond doesn't need us to tell her how to grow. She's already made that decision. 😂💎 She's just doing what she does. And she's doing it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌿 BIG, BEAUTIFUL & COMPLETELY HERSELF ──────────────────────── At around 169 cm, Black Diamond Pheno A remains one of the substantial girls in this room. She's big. But again... her height isn't what impresses me most anymore. It's what she's doing with that height. The structure. The branches. The flower distribution. The number of developed colas. The way the entire plant seems to have become a flowering machine. That's what makes her special. She's not tall just for the sake of being tall. She's using that architecture. And she's filling it. 💎🌸💚 ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL THERE ──────────────────────── And of course... we can't talk about Black Diamond without talking about the frost. ❄️💎 The resin-covered surfaces continue to give her that beautiful crystalline appearance. Get closer... and the story changes again. The flowers aren't just flowers. They're texture. They're resin. They're pistils. They're tiny details. They're little landscapes. And when the light catches everything correctly... she really does shine. Which is probably why the name Black Diamond continues to feel so appropriate. She has that combination of darkness, colour, structure and sparkle that makes her incredibly photogenic. 📸💎❄️ ──────────────────────── 🎨 COLOUR + GREEN + FROST ──────────────────────── Another thing I really appreciate is the combination of colours we're seeing. The green foliage. The developing flower colours. The bright pistils. The white frost. All of it coming together across such a large plant. It creates a really beautiful contrast. And because she has so many flowering structures, there isn't just one place where you see it. It's happening throughout the plant. Everywhere. Another cola. Another angle. Another little section that catches the eye. This girl is basically giving the camera a full-time job. 😂📸 ──────────────────────── 📸 THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S PROBLEM ──────────────────────── Black Diamond is becoming one of those plants where taking photographs becomes a problem. Not because she's difficult to photograph. Because there are too many good things to photograph. 😂 You take the wide shot. "Okay, beautiful." Then you move closer. "Oh, that's a nice cola." Then you see another one. "Wait, this one is even better." Then another. And another. And suddenly... you've been standing there for half an hour. 😂📸💎 That's the fun of this stage. The plant has so much going on that every perspective tells a slightly different story. ──────────────────────── 💎 THE BLACK DIAMOND PERSONALITY ──────────────────────── By now, I think we know who this girl is. She's not shy. She's not trying to hide. She's not trying to be the smallest girl in the room. She's substantial. She's demanding. She's productive. She's beautiful. And she's very comfortable taking up space. 😂💎 She's one of those phenotypes that makes you stop and think: "Okay..." "I see you." And then you walk away... only to turn around and look again. 😂 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – THE ROOM MOVES TOGETHER ──────────────────────── Just like the rest of the room, we've made the flowering nutrition adjustment. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution parameters are around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special just for Black Diamond. Same general nutritional strategy. Same room. Same philosophy. And she's responding beautifully. Which is exactly what we want to see. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 ENVIRONMENT ──────────────────────── The room continues around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same environment. Same ecosystem. Same room. And Black Diamond continues to show us her own interpretation of it. 💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌸 WHEN EVERY COLA LOOKS IMPORTANT ──────────────────────── This is probably what I'll remember most about this week. Every cola looks important. There's no obvious: "Okay, THIS is the main one." Because so many of them have developed enough structure to demand attention. They're all standing there like: "Pick me." 😂 And I'm like: "I can't." So... you're all main colas. Everybody wins. 👑🌸👑🌸👑🌸 ──────────────────────── SAME GENETIC ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES ──────────────────────── This is also another beautiful reminder of what this whole project is about. We have so many different cultivars and phenotypes sharing the same ecosystem. Some are smaller. Some are taller. Some are faster. Some are slower. Some are extremely compact. Some stretch. Some become incredibly frosty. Some build huge individual flowers. And Black Diamond? She's building a whole army of colas. 😂💎 That's the part I love. We provide the environment. Genetics provide the personality. And then we watch the story unfold. ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? ──────────────────────── At this point, I'm not looking for something to fix. I'm looking at development. 🌸 How much more will these colas build? ❄️ How much more resin will develop? 💎 How much more weight will those structures carry? 🌿 How will the foliage continue to evolve? 📸 How many more photographs am I going to take? 😂 The questions are becoming more about watching the plant mature than trying to change anything. And that's a really enjoyable place to be. She's healthy. She's beautiful. She's developing. So... let her work. ──────────────────────── 👑 SHE DESERVES THE SPOTLIGHT ──────────────────────── Sometimes a plant earns the spotlight because something unusual happens. Sometimes because she has a special colour. Sometimes because she suddenly explodes with flowers. And sometimes... she simply keeps being amazing. That's Black Diamond Pheno A this week. She's not necessarily doing something completely different from last week. She's simply continuing to be excellent. And sometimes... that's more than enough. 💎🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – STILL SHINING ──────────────────────── Week 11. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. And honestly... what can I say? She's still beautiful. She's still big. She's still making herself noticed. She's still developing. She's still covered in beautiful flowers. She's still carrying more and more structure. And now... I'm looking at a plant where practically every cola looks like it could be the main cola. 😂💎👑 I absolutely love it. She's doing exactly what she wants. We're doing exactly what we need to do. The room is stable. The lighting has been upgraded. The nutrition has been adjusted. The photons are flying. And she's doing the rest. That's the beauty of this stage. We don't need to force the story. We just need to document it. And Black Diamond is giving us a hell of a story. 💎🔥🌿 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful girl showing us exactly why the 8×8 Adventure has been so much fun. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these journeys, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us this incredible phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore what this expanded lighting setup can do. 💡💚 Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate those deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 And Black Diamond? This week... you absolutely deserve the spotlight. 💎👑🔥 You're big. You're beautiful. You're frosty. You're stacking. You're developing. You're filling your structure with flowers. And somehow... you've reached the point where every cola looks like a main cola. 😂💎🌸 So let's not overthink it. Let's let her shine. Let's let her keep building. Let's keep the photons flying. Let's keep watching. And let's see what this beautiful girl decides to show us next. Because one thing is certain... Black Diamond Pheno A is not interested in being a background character. She's making herself noticed. And honestly? I'm very happy to give her the spotlight. 💎🌿👑🔥 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the crowns are temporary, the genetics keep surprising us, and apparently... every cola on Black Diamond wants to be the main cola. 😂💎👑🌸

Day 63. Looking good and sugary. Smells like peaches Day 64. Too pretty not to photograph lol. Day 68. Twisted Trees used my photo of this plant for their website. I'm honored. Great company great genetics.
