Weekly update on these beautiful color girls. They've definitely started smelling strong this week and flowers swelling daily. Over all they're growing great, some looking further along then others. I might do a light defoliation but will see how this week goes before I do. All in all Happy Growing.

Just as good as lemonade on a hot Summer day. โ€ข The gentle giant. Up to 550 g/m2 of gorgeous pinkish-purple buds. โ€ข Refreshing for the mind and body. The ideal all-day strain with a perfectly balanced effect. โ€ข Sweet nโ€™ sour terps. Mouth-puckering lemon flavors thatโ€™ll hypnotize your taste buds. โ€ข Properly purple. The perfect choice for purple hash and extractions. As refreshing as cold lemonade on a hot Summer day. Arising from a cross between purple and citrus Cali genetics, Purple Lemonade FF (Fast Flowering) offers a complex high made up of perfectly balanced cerebral and body effects that are ideal for daytime use. Expect an extremely enjoyable high that boosts your mood while deeply relaxing your whole body and getting rid of muscle pain. This meticulous cross produces up to 550 g/m2 of some of the most beautiful purple buds, with pinkish and reddish hues that will catch everyoneโ€™s attention. The beautiful purple buds are ready for harvest in 7-8 weeks and come hand-in-hand with unbelievably sugary citrus terps that are just as refreshing as a cold lemonade on a hot Summer day. Itโ€™s the ideal variety for the sweet-tooth stoner seeking strains that deliver both in quality and quantity of resin. Bud Description ๐Ÿฆ” Purple Lemonade FF grows chunky, spade-shaped buds that boast a whole range of pinkish-purple hues with rich, dark orange pistils shooting out of every direction. This variety stands out for the, oftentimes, lilac trichomes that give them a gorgeous pink tint and make for outstanding purple concentrates. The buds give off a delicious tart lemon aroma that reveals a sweeter, more fruity scent as you break the buds open. Definitely a must for flavor chasers and those looking for pungent terpene profiles. Smoke Reports ๐Ÿ’จ Purple Lemonade FF offers an effect thatโ€™s just as unique as the flavor. Expect a potent uplifting high that gives you that energy boost you need to get things done while 100% happy and stress-free. The effect gradually transforms into a wave that works its way along the limbs and through the muscles, deeply relaxing your body and putting you in the right mindset to go through a busy day with a huge smile on your face. This is an excellent all-day smoke as it not only increases energy but can also help combat chronic pain, migraine and stress. Plant Appearance ๐Ÿ’„ This feminized photoperiod variety develops a thick and strong structure, growing a medium-sized main cola with multiple shorter side branches, typical of hybrid strains. Purple Lemonade FF develops fairly short internodal spacing with gorgeous purple buds growing stacked on top of each other, making it the perfect choice for growers of all levels looking to get lots and lots of top-shelf purple weed, as this variety can produce up to 550 g/m2 in a 7-8 week flower cycle. Grow Tips ๐Ÿค“ This is a super fast feminized photoperiod version that takes approximately 7-8 weeks to flower with a 5-week vegetation cycle,, this means you can have faster harvests by shortening the veg cycle or have a longer veg cycle for bigger yields. Purple Lemonade FF (Fast Flowering) makes for a great candidate for growers of all levels as itโ€™s a vigorous strain that will thrive with basic maintenance both indoors and outdoors. This is a resin powerhouse so make sure to have your trim bin close by as all the resinous sugar leaves will make for the most mouth- watering hash and extracts. Flavor ๐Ÿ˜‹ Expect a long-lasting citrus zest that taste just like it smells. Purple Lemonade FF reeks of a delicious blend of sweet fruits and tart citrus thatโ€™ll make your mouth water. On the inhale, expect sour flavors that taste just like lemon candy with hints of orange and a really subtle earthy background. And on the exhale, the citrus flavors open up, giving place to a more sugary berry fruitiness that leaves your whole mouth tasting like an extremely sweet weed-infused lemonade. https://2fast4buds.com/seeds/purple-lemonade-fast-flowering _______________________________________________________________ Setup: 140x70x200 cm Spiderfarmer tent 2x Monkey 16W fans (not oscillating) 1x Secret Jardin 30W 1x box fan 50W oscillating (on lowest level) LED Full Spectrum 320W AGLEX AGL-320W-MA 5,6 kg foldable, dimmable 864 pieces Samsung LH301H 864umol/s 2,7umol/J full spectrum white + RED 660nm + IR 740nm wavelength range 380-780nm covering 3x4ft Green Buzz Nutrients https://greenbuzzliquids.com/ โ— Use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75โ‚ฌ) Biobizz Lightmix + coco + wormcastings + perlite Carbon Active Granulate Filter 125/360 cmยณ/h PrimaKlima exhaust EC 125-400/240 cmยณ/h

Took some clones 1 week before flipping to flower but forgot to take pictures. The video of the clones are from oct 1st. The Turnt smelled like chocolate cover strawberries but now are smelling of garlic and pepper with a bit of undertone of strawyberries. The Diesel smelled like lemon pinesol but now smells of citrus mixed with gas. The Banana Clipz smells of berries mixed with skunk. Paradiso smells of citrus mixed with fruit. Lung Buster smelled lightly sweet at first but now smells like berries mixed with a undertone of garlic,funk, and gas . Spilt Paint smells of berries mixed with diesel and funk.

The temperatures, humidity, height, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50ยฐ F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil spread evenly across the top of the soil. Daylight hours this week will be below 13.5. I can't use halves in the grow conditions, so I'm noting here. Day 1 we had a high temperature of 85ยฐ. Skies were cloudy all day. We had a huge thunderstorm with high winds roll through followed by heavy rain most of the day. I added another 100 ml of feather meal top dressed to each pot. Day 2 we had a high temperature of 90ยฐF. Skies were partly cloudy. I watered about 5 gallons per pot. I treated today with Growers Ally fungicide. Day 3 we had a high temperature of 94ยฐF. The girls were thirsty. I watered about 6 gallons per pot. I really wet them and the ground under the pots. They're feeding on the runoff in the soil as they've rooted through the pots. Day 4 we had a high temperature of 94ยฐ. It felt like 102ยฐF. Skies were sunny and clear. I watered about 5 gallons per pot twice today. The girls were super thirsty. I added 80ml Coop Poop top dressed. Day 5 we had a high temperature of 90ยฐF. Skies were partly cloudy. I watered about 5 gallons each pot. Day 6 the high was 94ยฐF with mostly clear skies. I watered about 5 gallons per pot. Then I watered in the evening about 3 gallons per pot. These girls are eating now. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 89ยฐF. Skies were mostly cloudy to overcast. We had a lot of rain today so no need to water

๐Ÿ’Ž Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B Week 11 | The Girl I Forgot to Photograph ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Okay... I'm going to start this week's report with a confession. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I forgot to photograph her. Yep. Somehow... somewhere between photographing the rest of the room, checking the girls, looking at flowers, chasing photons, moving around the 8ร—8 jungle and doing all the usual madness... I completely missed Black Diamond Pheno B. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ“ธ And honestly? I'm sitting here with a smile on my face because I find it absolutely hilarious. I photographed the rest of the room. I documented everybody else. I probably took far too many photographs of some of the girls. And this beautiful girl was standing there in her corner like: "Excuse me?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ So... Black Diamond Pheno B... I owe you a proper photoshoot next week. But here's the funny part. Even without this week's photographs... she's still doing exactly what she should be doing. She's growing. She's developing. She's shining. She's filling her space. And she's continuing to be this beautiful, slightly quieter Black Diamond that we've been following throughout the adventure. So this week... we're going to let her shine with words instead. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ THE GIRL THE CAMERA FORGOT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I genuinely don't know how this happened. I've got photographs from the room. I've been documenting the plants. I've been looking at the flowers. I've been checking structures. And somehow... Black Diamond Pheno B slipped through the photographic net. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Maybe she was standing there thinking: "Don't worry. I'll give you a break this week." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Or perhaps she simply decided that she didn't need the camera. Because she already knows she's beautiful. And honestly? She's not wrong. ๐Ÿ’Ž She's doing her thing. She's growing beautifully. She's continuing to develop. She's looking strong. And she's making herself very comfortable in her corner of the room. So while the photographer may have failed this week... the plant certainly didn't. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S STILL DOING HER THING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And that's actually the most important part. The absence of photographs doesn't mean the plant stopped being part of the story. Quite the opposite. She's still right there. Still growing. Still developing. Still becoming more herself. And that's something I've really enjoyed about Pheno B throughout this entire run. She has never felt like she needed to compete with her sister. She didn't try to become Pheno A. She didn't try to copy anybody else in the room. She simply established her own rhythm. More foliage. A more relaxed flowering progression. A beautiful structure. A substantial presence. And now... she's continuing that same story. She's not rushing. She's not complaining. She's not creating drama. She's just growing. And I love her for it. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž BIG IN HER CORNER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There's another thing I don't want to lose sight of this week. This girl is not small. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's around 160 cm from our last recorded measurement, and she has developed into a substantial plant. She's not hiding in the room. She's not disappearing behind the other girls. She's got her own space... and she's filling it. Beautifully. That's something that has become increasingly obvious as the run has progressed. When we first started following her, the story was: "She's the quieter Black Diamond." Now? She's a big, beautiful plant that simply happens to have a quieter personality than her sister. And I think that's an important distinction. Quiet doesn't mean insignificant. Relaxed doesn't mean slow forever. Different doesn't mean less. She's just... Pheno B. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS KEEP MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Even without photographs this week, I can still see the progression. The flowering structures are continuing to develop. The flowers are becoming more established. The plant is moving deeper into her flowering story. And that's what matters. We're not trying to make her match somebody else's timeline. We're watching her timeline. Some girls move faster. Some move a little slower. Some suddenly accelerate. Some take their time and then surprise you. And Pheno B has consistently been one of the girls who says: "Relax. I'm getting there." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ And she is. She's getting there. Week by week. Flower by flower. And she's doing it beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ STILL A BLACK DIAMOND โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The frost hasn't disappeared just because I forgot the camera. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž She's still carrying that beautiful resin-covered character we've been watching develop. And this is another reason I'm actually a little annoyed with myself for missing the photographs. Because I know there are details there that deserved to be captured. The flowers. The trichomes. The texture. The little changes from one week to the next. That's exactly why we document this project. But... sometimes the grower is human. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And apparently this week, the photographer's brain decided: "Everybody except her." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Next week... we fix that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ญ THE OTHER BLACK DIAMOND โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The comparison with Pheno A remains one of my favourite parts of this diary. Same genetics. Same room. Same grower. Same general environmental conditions. Same lighting ecosystem. Same nutritional philosophy. And yet... two completely different expressions. Pheno A has been more aggressive. More demanding. More obviously dramatic. Pheno B has been calmer. More leafy. More relaxed. More patient. And I think that's beautiful. Because the whole purpose of this adventure isn't to force every plant into the same shape. It's to give them the same general stage... and then watch genetics write the story. Pheno B has written hers differently. And honestly? I wouldn't change a thing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก THE ROOM HAS CHANGED โ€” SHE'S STILL HERSELF โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room has continued evolving around all of them. We've added the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. We initially saw the PPFD climb higher than we wanted. So we adjusted. The fixtures are now running around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally decreasing depending on plant height and position. The goal isn't simply: "MORE LIGHT!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's about having more capability and controlling it intelligently. More available photons. Better distribution. More flexibility. And then... let the plants decide what to do with them. Black Diamond Pheno B has her own answer. She's growing. She's developing. She's shining. She's filling her space. And she's doing it in her own way. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ SAME PHOTONS. DIFFERENT STORY. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably one of the biggest themes running through the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. We can put the plants under the same artificial sun. We can provide the same general environment. We can provide the same nutrition. We can give them the same irrigation philosophy. And still... they interpret it differently. That's genetics. The photons are the same. The room is the same. But the plants don't read the same instruction manual. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Black Diamond Pheno B is one of those beautiful examples. She receives the same opportunity as everybody else. And then she turns that opportunity into her own expression. That's what we're here to watch. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ SAME ROOM, SAME ADJUSTMENT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The flowering nutrition has also moved forward with the rest of the room. ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjustment as required Current solution parameters are around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm Nothing special just for Pheno B. No secret recipe. No special treatment. She's part of the same room-wide strategy. And she's responding beautifully. Which is exactly what I want to see. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 11 โ€“ CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room continues around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: ~61% โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ?

We're always looking for plant problems. Too much. Too little. Too fast. Too slow. Too tall. Too short. Too leafy. Not leafy enough. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And then sometimes... the plant is perfectly fine. The only problem is the guy holding the camera. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Black Diamond Pheno B didn't forget to grow. I forgot to photograph her. There is a difference. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž And honestly... I'll take that kind of problem every week. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S STILL SHINING BRIGHT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Even without the photographs, the visual impression of this girl remains very clear to me. She's big. She's beautiful. She's green. She's developing. She's carrying herself well. She's filling her corner. And she's continuing to mature at her own pace. There's something very satisfying about that. She doesn't need to suddenly explode. She doesn't need to become the fastest plant in the room. She doesn't need to outperform her sister. She's already doing exactly what she needs to do. And that's enough. ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ NEXT WEEK, I OWE HER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I think we need to officially put this in the diary. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Black Diamond Pheno B... Next week, the camera is yours. No excuses. No disappearing. No: "Oops, I photographed everybody except you." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Ž I'm going to make sure we give her the attention she deserves. Because after following her this far, I don't want to miss the visual progression of this stage. The diary is about the story... but the photographs are part of the story too. And this girl deserves her chapter in pictures. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ SAME ROOM.

One room. One lighting ecosystem. One general nutritional approach. And then... twelve different interpretations. Some girls are loud. Some are quiet. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some demand. Some simply grow. Some develop quickly. Some take their time. And Black Diamond Pheno B? She's the girl who quietly keeps moving forward... while somehow becoming more and more impressive. She's not trying to steal the spotlight. But somehow... she keeps ending up underneath it anyway. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this stage, I'm simply watching the progression. ๐ŸŒธ Flower development. โ„๏ธ Resin development. ๐ŸŒฟ Foliage health. ๐Ÿ’Ž Structure. โš–๏ธ Stability. ๐Ÿ“ธ And next week... THE PHOTOS. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There is still plenty of story left. We're not finished. We're not calling the final chapter. We're simply watching her continue to mature. And I really like where she's going. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž SHE DOESN'T NEED TO SHOUT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ That's probably the best description of Pheno B. She doesn't need to shout. She doesn't need to demand attention. She doesn't need to be the fastest. She doesn't need to be the biggest girl in the room. She simply exists in her own space... and grows beautifully. That's enough. And sometimes... those are the plants you end up becoming particularly attached to. Because you're not constantly solving problems. You're just watching them become themselves. And I love watching this girl become herself. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ LET HER SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So yes... this week the camera failed her. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ But the girl? The girl didn't fail anybody. She's doing great. She's growing. She's developing. She's shining. She's filling her corner. She's continuing her flowering journey. And she's doing all of it under the same conditions as the rest of the room. Same upgrades. Same photons. Same nutrition adjustments. Same environment. Different expression. That's Black Diamond Pheno B. And I love her. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ EVEN WITHOUT THE PHOTOS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 11. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B. And somehow... this week's story is partly about what we didn't photograph. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But maybe that's okay. Because the important part is still there. She's growing. She's beautiful. She's substantial. She's developing. She's shining. She's moving at her own rhythm. And she's continuing to show us exactly why having multiple phenotypes in the same room is so fascinating. Her sister may be louder. Her sister may demand more attention. But Pheno B has her own presence. And when I look at her standing there in her corner... I smile. She's beautiful. She's doing exactly what she wants. And honestly... that's all I could ask for. Next week? Camera ready. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Ž Let's see what this beautiful girl has been hiding from us while I was apparently photographing everybody else. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another week. Another chapter. And apparently... another reminder that even after all these years, the grower can still forget to take a photograph of one of the girls. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us this place to document the journey, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us these fascinating phenotypes 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 the expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’š Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the 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 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who takes the time to follow these girls week after week. It genuinely means a lot. And Black Diamond Pheno B? I'm sorry, girl... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ“ธ You were the one I forgot this week. But don't worry. You're not forgotten. Not even close. You're still standing there. Still growing. Still shining. Still filling your corner. Still becoming more beautiful. Still completely yourself. And next week... the camera is yours. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight she deserves. Even if this week... we have to imagine the photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’Ž See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the plants keep growing, the genetics keep surprising us, the crowns remain temporary, and apparently... the photographer occasionally forgets one of the queens. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ P.S.- Found them ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ

Day 106. Final stretch ! All jobs done ! I changed my mind about defoliation, was asked already by second person and will try to do my own RSO for them. Normally i would call it a mistake, needed to lolitop them 20 cm up more, my lights are too weak for 10 such big plants, but in oil production case - its a win ! You should use all plant for production, not only buds, so ill give it a go. Only water in reduced amounts is all my work left. Hope to push them two more weeks. So FLUSH FLUSH FLUSH !!! as much as you can hope in soil ... ;))) Happy Growing !

What can I say, this week is going great. The plants are growing flat taps. The heads are slowly but surely fattening up and it starting to get smelly. The liberty haze in particular is a smell queen๐Ÿคฉ it has this insane bubblegum/fruity smell to it.. let's just say I'm starting to fall in love ๐Ÿ˜ the tangerine dream on the bottom left is just growing like a absolutely machine and has a nice citrus smell coming through. And its growth has no signs of slowing down any time soon. Looks like it's going to hit the roof if it doesn't slow down๐ŸคฃThe stocky little blue dream #2 is starting to pack on some serious bud size for its age.. the plants not a fan of vertical growth but it looks like it will make up with bud size and structure ๐Ÿ‘Œ Everything has been super mellow, I'm watering at the same PH the only thing added was some humic acid and fish emulsion for a bit of a booster. But otherwise letting them do their thing๐Ÿค™

FBA2502 Plants 1-6 Week 7 May 11โ€“ 17 FLOWER 3 Nutrients : Micro 25 ml Gro 10 ml Bloom 30ml CalMag 30 ml Recharge 10ml Green sensation 16.5ml Power buds 7.5 ml 5/11 PH 6.56, PPM 1560, temp 69 2ltr each 5/12 PH 6.31, PPM 1120, temp 68 1 ltr each 5/14 PH 6.66, PPM 1280, temp 70 1 ltr each 5/15 PH 6.66, PPM 850, temp 72 1 ltr each 5/11 Defoliation, feed, pics & videos I made 4 gallons, used 3 to water then poured the runoff back into the rest in the bucket. The next feeding, I added a gallon of tap water to residual and ph to 6,31 temp 69 & PPm 1120. Did the same on 5/14 and 15 using up the remainder of the feed solution. I must monitor and control the tent environment manually. For the past month, the humidifier has been an issue putting out way too much humidity; often leaving water in the bottom of the tent. In addition, the temperatures are also out of control. I added an AC last week to keep the temperature below 80. I finally determined the exhaust vent is also broken and has been for some time. I have been giving good reviews on the AC infinity system. However, during the time Iโ€™ve owned this tent (2 yrs), I had to replace the lights twice, fans, humidifier and now the vent twice also. Everything but the tent containment has been replaced. AC infinity does stand by their products, but they are in California, and it takes at least 2 weeks to receive the replacement. This is extremely frustrating at the critical transition to flower for my equipment to fail again. For the time being until a replacement arrives, I pulled the 4โ€ exhaust vent from my 3x3 and hooked it up. I have the AC pushing air in and the exhaust pulling air out. This should create a neutral pressure tent environment-neither positive nor negative. I do have 3 circulating fans in the tent to move air around the plants. It looks like growth spurts have slowed and plant height has been reached. Now is the time for buds to fatten and frost up. All of them (6) are short remaining less than 3 ft. They range from 15 to 31 inches. The tallest #4 &5 and #6 have very light leaves and appear nutrient deficient compared to the shorter phenotypes. Pictures taken later in the week show fading on a few the older leaves. All are receiving the same solution and are in the same soil blend. Moving the gals in and out of the tent for their glamor shots, I bent one limb and snapped another. The bent one I taped with a splint and the snapped one I medicated manuka honey and wired it back to the main stalk. Leaves look like sativa leaning. I hope FBA2502-2 is a good daytime. Iโ€™m getting excited to see what develops in the next month or so. News Break: Iโ€™ve been informed that 2502 is FastBuds New Frostbanger and is indica for nighttime. Iโ€™m disappointed that I didnโ€™t get a sativa to test because I really need a daytime strain. The 2 Blue Cheese plants I just grew are also nighttime. Upon opening the tent, a faint odor was detected, and some stickiness was observed during the process of defoliation. Pictures of the puffy buds even show differences. #4 &5 buds hairs are different from the others being crinklier and the others are straighter. Some like #2 &5 are showing frost on the leaves. Wow at the beginning of flower to have that much frost. They are living up to the new strainโ€™s name. Iโ€™ve noticed that when I water, sometimes water shoots out of the side holes I the air pots. I will pack the soil firmly into the sides for future runs. Measurements: #1 15โ€ #2 20โ€ #3 17โ€ #4 30โ€ #5 31โ€ #6 24โ€ Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ’ซNatrona๐Ÿ’ซ

420Fastbuds FBT2312/Week 3 What up grow fam. Weekly update for these stunning girls. Up to this point they've been growing picture perfect . Not really doing anything special besides still feeding nutes every other watering 500ml. I'll double the feed this week taking it to 1000ml/1 liter per every other day. Not seeing any burn signs from introducing nutes so will keep that the same strength. All in all Happy Growing

Hallo Liebe Community! Leider gab es einen Nacktschneckenbefall den ich feststellte als ich am Samstag von meinen unvermeidbaren Terminen wieder kam. Zum Glรผck wurde Sie bisher verschont. Seitdem bin ich jeden Tag auf der Hut und habe den Untergrund der Untersetzer ein wenig Schneckenuntauglich gemacht. Ehrlich gesagt wollte ich los und was gegen Schnecken besorgen aber bisher scheint es gut zu funktionieren. Aber nu so ist es halt mit der Natur :-) Zum Wachstum Stamm und Blattwuchs machen sich gerade echt super, Seitentriebe entwickeln sich ebenfalls. Sie hat einen ordentlichen Sprung in die Hรถhe gemacht. Dรผnger Da Sie etwas empfindlicher ist auf der Dรผngeebene, hab ich sie vorsichtiger gedรผngt. Sie befindet sich auch gerade in der Vorblรผte. Ab dieser Woche geht es dann langsam mit Kalium und Phosphor los. Ich freue mich auf die Kommende Woche! Das Wetter ist aktuell eher grau und es regnet wirklich nicht wenig. Die Zugabe von Additiven im Outdoor Bereich sind durch das Wetter aktuell nur schwer umsetzbar. Ich hoffe sehr, dass jetzt bald mal wieder mehr Sonne kommt! Somit, euch noch eine angenehme und Erfolgreiche Woche gewรผnscht! Viele GrรผรŸe an die Community und Kollegen! LueRootsGrowGermany!

Day 37. Not much to add ... Adjusting the pH morning and night and observe the good growth it has, keeps the canopy quite well. I have observed some pistils with orange tips, do you know what is due?
