Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B | Week 5 (Flower) 💎 Black Diamond Auto – The Elegant Sister Finds Her Rhythm Every grow has its own personalities, and while Pheno A charges ahead with raw vigor, her sister is writing a completely different story. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B is elegance in motion. She has embraced the 12/12 From Seed challenge with a graceful structure, long internodes, and a beautifully open architecture that allows every flowering site to receive excellent light penetration. This project continues to explore how autoflowers behave under a true 12/12 photoperiod from germination—a technique many growers believe limits development. Week after week these plants continue proving that, with a healthy root system, stable environment, and careful nutrition, autoflowers remain capable of producing vigorous growth while transitioning naturally into bloom. Growing inside the Zamnesia-sponsored 8×8 Adventure, under the Future of Grow Black Series LED and supported by the complete Plagron nutrient line, this phenotype continues to demonstrate that every plant follows its own blueprint. Rather than comparing sisters, this project celebrates those differences. ⸻ 🌱 Week 5 – Stretch with Purpose The flowering stretch is still underway, but unlike many plants that stretch without direction, Pheno B is building a remarkably balanced framework. Standing around 100 cm, she is among the taller ladies in the tent, yet her stem remains impressively thick and capable of supporting future flower weight. The internodal spacing is wider than her sister’s, giving the plant an airy appearance that should become an advantage later in flowering by improving airflow and allowing light to penetrate deep into the canopy. Fresh white pistils continue appearing at every node, and the first flower clusters are beginning to stack along each branch. Rather than producing compact golf-ball buds immediately, she seems focused on building a long flowering structure that could eventually form impressive spear-shaped colas. At this stage she isn’t trying to impress with density yet—she’s building the foundation for it. ⸻ 🌿 Training Without Stress Like the rest of the project, Pheno B continues proving how effective gentle training can be. Instead of removing leaves through defoliation, I simply keep repositioning larger fan leaves behind developing flowering sites whenever necessary. This small daily adjustment maintains excellent light exposure while allowing every healthy leaf to continue producing energy for the plant. No unnecessary stress has been introduced. The combination of: * 12/12 From Seed * Early Low Stress Training (LST) * Strategic leaf tucking * No defoliation has created a naturally open structure where light reaches multiple flowering sites without sacrificing photosynthetic capacity. Every leaf is still working for the plant. ⸻ 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation This week she continued receiving the same stable Plagron feeding program that has been driving the entire room. Current feeding: • Terra Grow — 1.9 ml/L • Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L The nutrient transition into flowering has been exceptionally smooth. With an EC around 1.88, pH maintained at 6.05, the plant continues showing deep green foliage with no signs of nutrient excess or deficiency. Her leaves remain relaxed, healthy, and vibrant, confirming that the current feeding strategy is matching her needs perfectly. Sometimes the best sign of success is that nothing dramatic happens. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The flowering room continues providing very stable environmental conditions: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Solution temperature: 21.6°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: approximately 636 ppm Despite the relatively warm temperatures, the healthy root zone, consistent irrigation, and vigorous airflow are allowing the plants to remain highly productive. The entire ecosystem continues operating exactly as intended. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Next week should be particularly exciting for this phenotype. The stretch appears to be slowing, meaning more energy will soon shift toward flower production. The small clusters developing along every node should begin connecting together as calyx production accelerates, revealing the true architecture of this plant. Because of her open structure, I’m especially curious to see whether she develops long, elegant spears or surprises me with unexpected stacking later in bloom. Either way, she’s showing every sign of becoming a beautiful and productive Black Diamond. Sometimes the quieter plants become the biggest surprises by harvest. ⸻ 🙏 Final Thoughts One of my favourite parts of running phenotype hunts is watching sisters express the same genetics in completely different ways. Pheno B reminds us that beauty isn’t always about being the biggest or the fastest. Sometimes it’s about balance, structure, and letting the plant tell its own story without forcing it into someone else’s expectations. So far, she’s doing exactly that. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making this grow possible, Plagron for consistently providing outstanding nutrition, Future of Grow for keeping the canopy thriving under incredible lighting, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, comments, and shared passion make documenting every week an absolute pleasure. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Week 8, Week 8 was a fairly easy one. The flowering spots are starting to fill in, and the leaves are starting to become frosty. I am watering her every three days with a teaspoon of nutrients and a tablespoon molasses. I think I have dialed in the grow tent and have a routine down. Please let me know if you have any suggestions/ questions. Happy growing everyone

Hola y bienvenidos cultivadores de marihuana, la semana de corte está aquí después de 15 semanas desde semilla y 10 de floración, esta es una cepa auto floreciente con dominancia sativa que no ha defraudado.💁‍♂️🌲 He cultivado esta planta con atención y esmero, ataduras LST en las ramas y el tallo, en una maceta air-pot de 6l, con una mezcla de sustratos ligeros y minerales, sustrato activado con microbiología autóctona recogida en los bosques vírgenes de mi región y la he regado siempre con agua estructurada de manantial de montaña. La he alimentado con macro y micro nutrientes solubles, creados con fermentados anaeróbicos e hidrolizados propios, creados con Microbiología, elementos orgánicos y minerales, mantengo mucha y buena luz en las carpas de cultivo, cultivo esta planta con 10h de luz interior, más otras 10 horas de luz exterior y cuatro de sueño, esta planta siempre ha usado sombrero (mulch), con mucha materia seca para dar de comer a la microbiología y mantener niveles de humedad óptimos en superficie, para facilitar la creación de raíces adventicias desde el primer centímetro de tierra.... 💧🌞👨‍🌾 todo para conseguir un pastel de bodas, digno de reyes! 🤴👸 Pensaba que el cultivo podía durar una semana más, pero en los últimos días la planta mostró que estaba madura, no he querido esperar más, pues necesitaba el ESPACIO para reorganizar mis carpas de cara a la nueva temporada de cultivos, que comenzaré en otoño, y mucho TIEMPO libre este verano para perderlo porro a porro! 🤷‍♂️ - Esta planta con dominancia sativa, y se notaba mucho por el grosor de las hojas, no se ha visto afectada por la araña roja que en mayor o menor medida ha atacado a todos mis otros cultivos, ha demostrado mucha resistencia! 🌲 - Las colas son enormes, densas y pegajosas, con muchas hojas de azúcar, el olor es apestoso, ha sido la cepa auto floreciente con el aroma más intenso, olores a menta, bosque y frutas ácidas. - He tenido poco desperdicio después de hacerle la manicura a los cogollos, va a ser una producción decente, contando la pequeña maceta y el tiempo de cultivo. - Como me ocurre con frecuencia la etapa de floración se ha alargado bastante con respecto a las indicaciones del productor, pero como estoy acostumbrado a foto periódicas se me ha hecho un tiempo de cultivo corto. Actualmente la planta está en proceso de secado, con humedad y temperatura controladas, en una semana la pasaré a los botes de curado y en ese momento fumaré los primeros porros para hacer la valoración avanzada de la cosecha. A falta de probar el resultado de las 3 cepas auto florecientes que he cortado esta semana, creo que voy a reservar este tipo de cepas para cultivarlas a principios de Abril, y así aprovechar las horas de luz exterior, con el fin de ahorrar costes de producción, pues estas cepas necesitan muchas horas de luz para conseguir una producción decente y cada vez está más cara la factura de la luz eléctrica. Hasta la cosecha... SALUDOS A TODOS Y GRACIAS POR LEERME!! 🌈 ================================= 🙄☮️👇🙏👌🤛👍👉👉👉❤️💜❤️👈👈👈🤜👌🙏👇☮️🤩🖐️🏻 =================================

These pictures are from week 1 to week 5 of veg. I didn't waste no time working these plants pulling and topping and defoliation. I started with 2 plants and I belive I just stressed the one out so much it stunted the growth in the pictures you can tell a high difference in size. I ended up getting rid of the smaller plant. The one thing that I learned about the bigger plant is that it loved being at a ph of 5.5 it ate so much more and grew so much faster then if it was at 5.8-6.0ph. The veg stage was a great learning experience for me.

🌱 Week 4 Veg: Thriving Despite the Chill 🌟 As we close out Week 4 of veg, I couldn’t be more impressed with how resilient and strong the Zamnesia Runtz are growing! Despite the freezing cold temperatures outside—evident in some snapshots of my frosty mint plants in the veggie garden—these beauties are thriving in their cozy indoor setup. The Aptus Holland Nutrient Spray: A Deep Dive This week, I treated the Runtz to a refreshing shower with Aptus Holland’s nutrient spray, a game-changer in plant health and vigor. Let’s break it down: • What Is It? Aptus nutrient sprays are foliar feeds designed to deliver essential nutrients directly to the leaves. They provide immediate uptake, bypassing the roots and giving the plant a quick boost in vitality. • Why Use It? Foliar feeding is especially beneficial during veg because it enhances nutrient absorption and promotes lush, healthy foliage. It’s also a fantastic way to supplement nutrients if the roots are growing but not yet absorbing nutrients at peak efficiency. • What Does It Do? Aptus sprays improve plant metabolism, strengthen cellular structure, and boost resistance to environmental stresses—perfect for battling those colder temps! • How I Applied It I used a fine mist to ensure even coverage across all leaves, aiming for the undersides where stomata are most active. Afterward, the plants looked vibrant and energized, ready to keep pushing those gorgeous leaves. A New Partnership: Grove Bags and TerpLoc Technology I’m thrilled to announce a new partnership with Grove Bags! Known for their TerpLoc technology, these bags are a true revolution in cannabis storage and curing. • Why Grove Bags? Grove Bags are designed to create the perfect microclimate for cannabis. Their TerpLoc technology helps preserve terpenes—the essential oils responsible for the flavor, aroma, and effects of cannabis—by locking them in while allowing oxygen and moisture to escape. • How They Work TerpLoc bags combine several unique layers: • Moisture Control: Maintains ideal humidity levels to prevent over-drying or mold. • Oxygen Barrier: Blocks excessive oxygen exposure, which can degrade terpenes. • UV Protection: Shields the buds from harmful light that can alter their chemical composition. • Why This Matters For anyone who’s spent months cultivating a crop, ensuring the harvest cures and stores properly is the final crucial step. Grove Bags will play an essential role in preserving the quality and flavor of this Runtz grow, keeping the terps intact for that unforgettable smoke experience. A big thank you to Grove Bags for joining this journey. I can’t wait to showcase their role in the final stages of this grow! Photo Magic: Nikon P900 & Sony A6000 Capturing the Runtz in all their glory is part of the journey, and this week’s shots were nothing short of stunning. Using both the Nikon P900 and Sony A6000 allowed for crisp, detailed photos that highlight the beauty of these young plants. From their vibrant green tones to the intricate structure of their leaves, these images tell the story of strength and potential. Week 4 Veg: What It Means Week 4 in veg is a critical time in a grower’s journey. By now, the plants have developed a strong root system and are focusing on building structure. This is when: • Leaf Development Peaks: Bigger leaves mean more photosynthesis and energy production. • Growth Accelerates: Plants use this time to set the foundation for flowering, with nodes spacing out and stems thickening. • Preparation for Transplanting: Root systems are expanding, making it the perfect time to plan for a move into larger pots, as we’ll be doing next week! Looking Ahead Next week, the Runtz will graduate to larger pots—not their final AutoPot homes yet, but an essential step for continued growth. This transition will help the roots spread further, setting the stage for a thriving flowering phase. Community & Gratitude A huge thank you, as always, to my sponsors and supporters: • Aptus Holland • Pro-Mix Soil • TrolMaster Ecosystem • ThinkGrow LED • Future of Grow LED • CannaKan Germination Station • Zamnesia and Plagron for making this Eternity Cup journey so special • Ziggi Papers • And now, our newest partner: Grove Bags To the amazing Grow Diaries community, you continue to inspire me daily. I’ve been blown away by the incredible work and creativity I’ve seen in other diaries—it’s motivating and humbling all at once. Good luck to everyone; let’s make this journey one to remember! 💚 Final Thoughts From the frosty outdoors to the warmth of my grow room, these Runtz are proving their resilience and promise. Each week, I’m reminded of why I fell in love with this strain, and the excitement for what’s to come keeps growing. Stay tuned for Week 5, where we’ll delve into the transplant process, nutrient updates, and more. Let’s keep learning, growing, and sharing the magic together!

End of week 9 One word - Voluptuous! The neighbours are definitely smelling it now, luckily the terpene profile on all of these plants make it smell more like a citrus farm. Another smooth sailing week and I have noticed some of the ladies are drinking less and the leaves are fading more and more every day. I am preparing for harvest as the girls are almost screaming to be cut down but I’ll be patient. I’ll be using my grow tent as the drying room because I can keep the environment in check. Making sure all my effort is not ruined by a rookie mistake such as not drying properly. Removed some dead leaves and thats about it. I’ve basically just been checking my PH and watering through this entire grow. It’s cool being easy and easy being cool!

Refurbished soil HVAC system, and increased airflow. To maximize your yield, always aim for 40 moles, or 40,000,000 μmol, per day. Here is how much PPFD is needed per second for each phase of cannabis growth to achieve the DLI of 40 moles of light per day. I picked up a Quantum PAR Meter, very happy!😁 PAR Meter will show me how much useful radiation between 4-700nm the plant is getting from any given direction. Seedling phase (18hr cycle): 200–300 μmol m-2 s-1 Vegetative phase (18hr cycle): 617 μmol m-2 s-1 Flowering phase (12hr cycle): 925 μmol m-2 s-1, (1500 μmol m-2 s-1 @1500ppm co2) (ballpark). Anything above 2000 PPM is harmful to both the grower and the crops. The tent is currently reaching 3-400umol ms 1s at soil level (42" inches from light) and 1100umol-1300umol @ 25" Inches.

Hi there ! So from today 600W LED is placed in with 18 hours on and 6 hours off light schedule. Ventilation works at the same time as the lamp does. Watering: It will happen with 25 ml a day so 2× 12.5 ml water per plant. Fertilization starts on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. LST is also done as it can be seen. They don't look good this way but they just need to grow and get stronger it helps to yield more with the side branches. I will use FIM as well when they are ready I think at week 4 or 5. Day 18: OMG, I just realized I think I placed too close the lamp so I can see signs of burn of the plants. I mean some leaves get crispy in the edges. It is a brand new lamp and it was I think too close. I changed up higher. Hope it will be okay. Today was very hot outside so temperature went up as well even when the ventilation is on I saw it was 30 degrees. Too much. I opened the tent to have better air circulation and the temperature went down. Day 19: A bit hurts that I burnt them no nice but I also know that is is not a big problem. It will be gone as quickly as they grow. Anyways all fine part from this small beauty damage. Day 20: Now it clearly can be seen the damage that the LED lamp made because of me. Not nice, but it won't affect the growth. Well, I want to remove those leaves when the plants get matured to be nice. Next week I think I can do it. Everything else okay. Day 22: Haha I just actually removed the damaged leaves and now they look so pretty and healthy. I did not even have to wait until next week. All good nice girls there !!!!!

Buds are fattening up nicely. Hairs are slowly turning orange. Drinking a lot of water lately
