💎 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! 🌱💚

Much better side branching on this strain.Pleased to see I have one definite Purple pheno possibly the other might be too but a bit early to tell on the one.Smells are coming through and growth has been decent.Once again very happy about the good lateral growth

Everything goes well. Try to forget the previous growth. Durban!!! 💸💸💸💸💸💸 Buy seeds from Seeds Genetics Co. Copie the link down below! https://seedsgenetics.nl/product/durban-poison-gefeminiseerd/

I'm hoping that the weather outside improves soon enough so that I can relocate them to outside. Last night alone had tons of rain and temperatures as low as 8c. Really want to put them out there but it's starting to look like they well be staying in this tent. I'll have to rename this diary if that's the case lol Happy growing everyone.

harvest, flower length 64 days, total growth time 88 days. Now wait for it to dry.

Hello guys! This week was amazing for my girls & Me! :D 4 of them are showing a great sign of flowering! After I defoliated all and tried main Lining for the first time! I didn’t expect such a great results! They are already healing and I should say: I’m falling in love with growing!! It’s like my thing! After hours and hours reading and searching! When i see them happy like this, feels like all of my efforts are paying off. I just wish they weren’t autos! A newbe grower totally can handle an original femmenized seed! I don’t know why everyone said go for autos for tour firat grow!! I’m practicing most of the trainings suitable for autos till i get real stuff!! Soon! I also got that powerful AC, i was hesitating to buy!! it’s pretty amazing! Now I can grow my pineapple Express at thr best temp 25 degrees with 2200w! I just hope i dont get too suprise when i see the Bill😅

Primera semana del seguimiento...damos por iniciado éste nuevo cultivo!!

This new week started better as with some flushes I brought the runoff back to 6.5/7, the plant seems to be growing well

Week 19/02 - 25/02

NUEVAMENTE DEFOLIACIÓN(SIN MIEDO)+LIMPIEZA DE BAJOS ESTILO LOLLIPOP Y LUEGO COLOCACIÓN DE MALLA TIPO SCROG PARA IR ABRIENDO LAS RAMAS

This one certainly a lot taller than the rest have levelled out best i can by propping the others on boxes to raise them Little bit of late trimming underneath to help airflow and to avoid rot with it being little cramped Happy with plant so far i guess although i would have preferred it to be more like the others bushier and shorter Not too bad overall though cant wait to see things all fatten up in this second half of flower now

1 week more for this

Check these forming buds out this week on BMR. These look like some of the biggest buds I will have ever grown. Not a ton of smell yet, what terpenes are there seem a bit woody with an underlying sweetness. Continuing with the sugar sources for the microbial life, the plants aren't showing any signs of deficiency so I'm just letting them ride at this point. Let's keep swelling!

Solamente defoliación mientras las veo crecer en su prefloracion.

Smooth week, lots of trimming and approaching the end of the harvest now (for the autos)

So the second seed of Ze Chem Bang is struggling. It has been growing slowly. It's my last seed so hopefully it roots the solution soon. It will have a much better chance of survival once it does. It can go either way at this point. The rock wool has gotten already growth from being wet for too long. So 🤞🏻 it goes well. Thank you Medic Grow, and Terpyz mutant Genetics. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.
