This week has been excellent for my Black Cherry! Five days ago, it received its first pruning. It was defoliated a bit and the top was pinched. I want to see how the genetics react to stress and how it copes with it. The side shoots have been tied back as best I could. A beautiful bushy growth is slowly forming!

Thanks GHS for this one👍

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 30/11/2019 - Struggling with high humidity, change led strip color from red,green,blue to red and green. 1/12/2019 - Checked and adjusted the light distance. 2/12/2019 - Pot feels light and dry, gave her 1,5l PH 6.3 with a 1/4 of recommended Biobizz nuts, notice almost no run off. 3/12/2019 - Finally her first pistil appeared on the main stem I was starting to get worried.

The girls are fully in flower this week which of course is a GREAT sight to see when opening the tent. The smell in the tent is so sweet and fruity it's already making your mouth water!! So this week I feed the girls with a little of the living soil veg so they are still getting a helping hand. They were also given the living soil bloom and some barley which I will admit is the first time using it but so far me plus the girls are very much enjoying!! I have done the necessary light de-foliating on all 4 girls over the past 2 weeks and more LST. Happy toking guys and girls!! Will keep you all posted with more videos through the week so please keep checking back 🙂

🌸 Week 4 – Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Week 4 has officially started and all 6 phenos have entered flowering 🔥🌸 Really happy to see every plant transitioning into bloom now. From this point on, things should get much more interesting because the differences between the phenos are becoming impossible to ignore. 📈 Current observations: Several phenos are stretching hard since flowering started Some plants are already reaching heights of around 40 cm Growth patterns are becoming much clearer between each phenotype On the taller phenos you can already see that the first side branches are developing almost like additional main colas 👀 💧 Feeding & training: This week the plants received their first bloom nutrients following the Master Recipe. I also continued removing selected large fan leaves that were shading potential flower sites to improve light penetration and help lower branches develop more evenly. 📊 Current environment: Temperature stable around 26°C Humidity remaining between 63–65% VPD holding around 1.3 kPa Light intensity unchanged Now the exciting phase begins — the next few weeks will probably be the most important ones to identify the strongest and most beautiful phenos in the hunt 👀🔥 💬 Which pheno do you think will dominate once flower production really kicks in?

Smells amazing, looks amazing just a beauty of a plant tbh...drinking loads but I'm just sticking to ppm for now with slightly increasing bloom boost every feed

Here is first week of flowering nothing much after change the life cycle just add water and make them some compost teea this week

Terza settimana di fioritura inoltrata..andiamo più che bene con lo sviluppo.buona genetica anche questa papaia cookie...bravi 👏 fast buds. Continuate così .,💪✌️

Slt, fin de la 3eme semaine, les plantes continuent de se développer, pour les 2 pieds de gorilla cbd, un des deux semble être un peu difforme en comparaison du 1er, on verra comment il évolue. Pour la critical+2.0, les pieds semblent vigoureux et se développe plutôt bien. J’ai tester pour la 1ère fois il y’a 24h le topping, j’espère ne pas l’avoir fait trop tôt. Je souhaite que les plantes se développent en largeur et pas trop en hauteur. Pour réaliser une belle canopes bien dense. Je vais commencer aussi une très légère défoliation pour que la plante concentre son énergie uniquement sur les parties hautes. J’ai réduit l’humidité à 60%. J’ai réduit aussi l’engrais pour racines. Voilà c’est à peu près tout.. à la semaine prochaine Happy Grow... 😎

Effettuato topping, lst con clip e defogliazione degli strati più vicini all internodo (questo la settimana scorsa), e si può vedere un importante espansione delle foglie e irrobustimento degli steli. Tagli e tecniche necessarie per questo tipo di genetica e setup

She is exploding!! Unfortunately can’t be at home as I’m away from work to take care of her. She needs some training but I don’t think I’m going to get home in time to do it.. may have to just let it do it’s thing. I’m glad I topped it though. I’m a little worried I’m going to run out of vertical space.

Letsgrow#fastbuds

Bonjour les amis, Pas de changement morphologique cette semaine mais la résine est apparue en même temps qu'une légère odeur.😻 M.

The plants are still growing great. They reavted really well on the topping and defoliation.

Seguimos retirando las fan leaf's que ya no son tan necesarias en todas las nenorras, el sistema de las automáticas continua en el lavado de raíces, el sistema regular continua floreando y madurando, considero que la próxima semana estaremos cosechando la White widow y la mamá mía

Bienvenidos a la semana #6 😑 😀 🙏 😂 Día 39 (19/06) Medio día en interior por las lluvias torrenciales 😑 Se detectan algunas puntas quemadas. Voy a esperar a mañana y lanzo grow question en función de la evolución... Día 40 (20/06) Riego a CC & RB con 250 ml H2O pH ajustado CC muestra una deficiencia que no sé identificar... 😑 Día 41 (21/06) OF1 #1 muestra repentinamente una deficiencia. ¿Bloqueo de nutrientes? (Ver grow question) Decido regar con 250 ml de agua doble osmotizada con pH ajustado Espero que se recupere... 🙏 Día 42 (22/06) OF1 #1 Tras 24 horas el tema está controlado: las puntas no están más quemadas y el color general de la planta es mejor (más verde) 😀 ¡Parece una quemadura y bloqueo de nutrientes! 😀 Decido golpear todas las plantas con los siguiente: - Relleno la capa superior del sustrato (2 - 3 cm) con la siguiente mezcla: Sustrato light mix + 10% humus de lombriz + 10 gr / litro de Tierra de Diatomeas - Riego con agua pH ajustado + 2 gr / litro MicroVita + 10 ml / litro de melaza => OF1 #1 y OF1 #2: 250ml => CC & RB: 500 ml => NL: 1 litro Creo que me voy a alejar de los abonos de BioBizz y pasarme a lo orgánico... Gracias maestro @deFharo ! https://growdiaries.com/diaries/134104-grow-journal-by-defharo/week/739884 Día 43 (23/06) Las puntas quemadas están controladas CC ha reaccionado muy bien OF1 no tanto... Día 44 (24/06) Inicio el camino del Organic Rebel con la ayuda del gurú y maestro @deFharo Gracias amigo por tu inestimable ayuda en mi inicio en este camino Me he puesto a fabricar mis propios biofertilizantes líquidos y esto es solo el principio! Os dejo las dos recetas que he realizado pero que son mérito de @deFharo Té de Hummus Ingredientes: - 250 g Humus de lombriz - 1 litro de agua (osmosis o grifo reposada) - 2,5 g de hidróxido de potasio Pasos - Mezclar el agua y el humus de lombriz - Disolver el Hidróxido de Potasio en un poco de agua y lo añades al anterior - Revolver o agitar varias veces - Esperar mínimo 24 horas (mejor 3 días) Humato PK (Muy bueno para floración) - 125 gr de leonardita ó 250 g Humus de lombriz (yo he usado Hummus) - 1 litro de agua (osmosis o grifo reposada) - 25 g de hidróxido de potasio - 25 g de harina de huesos o roca fosfórico (yo he usado harina de huesos) Pasos - Disolver el Hidróxido de Potasio en 500 ml de agua - Añadir la leonardita (o hummus) y remover - Añadir harina de huesos o roca fosfórica al anterior - Revolver o agitar varias veces - A las 24 horas añadir el resto del agua (500 ml) a 40 - 50 ºC - Revolver varias veces al día durante al menos 3 días (alargarlo hasta 6-7 días si no hay prisa)

Just finishing up week 3 of flower. Did another defoliation on day 21 but you can’t tell now...lol everything’s been rolling along nicely so far. Been feeding them around 8 gal of water every 2-3 days. Well that’s it for now, easy growing so far! Cheers 💨

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 11 | The Girl I Forgot to Photograph 😂💎🌿 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Okay... I'm going to start this week's report with a confession. 😂 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 8×8 jungle and doing all the usual madness... I completely missed Black Diamond Pheno B. 😂💎📸 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?" 😂 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. 💎🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 😂 THE GIRL THE CAMERA FORGOT ──────────────────────── 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. 😂📸 Maybe she was standing there thinking: "Don't worry. I'll give you a break this week." 😂 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. 💎 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. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S STILL DOING HER THING ──────────────────────── 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. 💚🌿💎 ──────────────────────── 💎 BIG IN HER CORNER ──────────────────────── There's another thing I don't want to lose sight of this week. This girl is not small. 😂 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. 💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS KEEP MOVING ──────────────────────── 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." 😂🌸 And she is. She's getting there. Week by week. Flower by flower. And she's doing it beautifully. ──────────────────────── ❄️ STILL A BLACK DIAMOND ──────────────────────── The frost hasn't disappeared just because I forgot the camera. 😂❄️💎 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. 😂 And apparently this week, the photographer's brain decided: "Everybody except her." 😂📸 Next week... we fix that. ──────────────────────── 👭 THE OTHER BLACK DIAMOND ──────────────────────── 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. ──────────────────────── 💡 THE ROOM HAS CHANGED — SHE'S STILL HERSELF ──────────────────────── 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: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally decreasing depending on plant height and position. The goal isn't simply: "MORE LIGHT!" 😂 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. 💡🌿💎 ──────────────────────── ☀️ SAME PHOTONS. DIFFERENT STORY. ──────────────────────── This is probably one of the biggest themes running through the entire 8×8 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. 😂🌿 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. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – SAME ROOM, SAME ADJUSTMENT ──────────────────────── The flowering nutrition has also moved forward 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 adjustment as required Current solution parameters are around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~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. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 – CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~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 The environment remains consistent. The lighting has been upgraded. The nutrition has been adjusted. And the girls are continuing to do what they do. Pheno B included. 🌿💎 ──────────────────────── 😂 SOMETIMES THE PLANT ISN'T THE PROBLEM ──────────────────────── This week is actually a funny reminder of something else. We're always looking for plant problems. Too much. Too little. Too fast. Too slow. Too tall. Too short. Too leafy. Not leafy enough. 😂 And then sometimes... the plant is perfectly fine. The only problem is the guy holding the camera. 😂📸 Black Diamond Pheno B didn't forget to grow. I forgot to photograph her. There is a difference. 😂💎 And honestly... I'll take that kind of problem every week. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S STILL SHINING BRIGHT ──────────────────────── 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. 💚 ──────────────────────── 📸 NEXT WEEK, I OWE HER ──────────────────────── I think we need to officially put this in the diary. 😂 Black Diamond Pheno B... Next week, the camera is yours. No excuses. No disappearing. No: "Oops, I photographed everybody except you." 😂📸💎 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. ──────────────────────── SAME ROOM. DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES. ──────────────────────── And that's where I keep coming back. Twelve different genetic stories. One shared environment. 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. 😂💎👑 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? ──────────────────────── At this stage, I'm simply watching the progression. 🌸 Flower development. ❄️ Resin development. 🌿 Foliage health. 💎 Structure. ⚖️ Stability. 📸 And next week... THE PHOTOS. 😂 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. ──────────────────────── 💎 SHE DOESN'T NEED TO SHOUT ──────────────────────── 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. 💎🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 👑 LET HER SHINE ──────────────────────── So yes... this week the camera failed her. 😂📸 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. 💎🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – EVEN WITHOUT THE PHOTOS ──────────────────────── Week 11. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B. And somehow... this week's story is partly about what we didn't photograph. 😂 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. 😂📸💎 Let's see what this beautiful girl has been hiding from us while I was apparently photographing everybody else. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── 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. 😂📸 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. 💡💚 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 8×8 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... 😂💎📸 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. 💎👑📸 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. 😂 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 💚🌱💎 See you next week in the 8×8 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. 😂👑📸 P.S.- Found them 😂👑📸
