What up fam, so glad to hear back as it's taken me 7 weeks to complete my grow room build and start a new batch of Fastbuds Autos. I'm so happy to start the new room with GMO Auto so I decided to run it on my big tray 4ftx16ft. Still running the same brand of soil RootsOrganics707 but this will be a first on tables. I also got new lights that are definitely more watts but hooked/daisy chained to a controller. All in all Happy Growing.

The buds are really sticky and smell super strong. This stuff gives you a head high followed by relaxation. I dried for 14 days at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and 60 % RH.

A memorable harvest. The buds are all very high quality and cleaning them was easy as the pruning I did did not produce any popcorn buds. The flavor is among the most intense I've ever tried and it's a plant that I would recommend to everyone.

8/5 (Day 49)- The start of a new week! Last few days have been a little rough and I have unfortunately been unable to keep up the post. Dealing with a back injury so it’s been difficult just to keep up with the feedings. We are looking pretty good though and starting to feel a bit better. The last few days I’ve been slowly but surely trying to get a good defoliation in which I feel was needed very badly. Opened up a lot of place for light and airflow. Messing with the back left plant and OMG my hands got sticky quick! I leaned in for a close smell and all I can think of when I smell is candy, a very sweet smelling candy. It shocked me how sweet and yummy the smell was. All conditions for the environment are stable and kept in check. The girls are taking down 4-5 gallons a day now. Will continue to update this week. Thanks! 8/6 (Day 50)- Just monitored and checked in on everything today. Starting to feel better so not too worried about the change out in the morning. Gonna up the light and ppms a bit tomorrow then monitor very close the next few days. I think they should be good. Everything staying in check. 8/7 (Day 51)- Changed res and new fresh food for the ladies. I increased light power a little as well as PPMs. Going to monitor next few days, then when my back is 100% gonna do one last round of defoliation and trimming as well as put up the trellis net. I know it’s a bit late but the two plants on the right may need it. 8/8 (Day 52) - Just have been monitoring and refilling the res today. They are drinking 4-5 gallons a day. I also did a light light defoliation. I will be going through in the next day or so to do a bit more in depth defoliation to open up for more light and air. These girls grow and recover so fast. 8/9 (Day 53)- The two plants on the right are continuing to stretch quite a bit! The left plants seem to be short bushier plants, also im very sure I could have easily dont something to stunt them and not realize, but they seem to be pretty darn healthy. Did some defoliation, I've honestly been plucking leaves here and there everyday and focusing specifically on a plant when I feel it gets too bushy. They bounce back very quickly so that has been my method along with tying some branches down and bending here and there. 8/10 (Day 54) - Wow that back right girl is really growing. She has really been stretching the last two days. Just monitoring and adding to the res every so often. They are continuing to drink 4-5 gallons a day and all conditions stay in check. I did move one fan to get more airflow through the bottom of the canopy. I feel like I have constantly been moving things around this grow, trying to get a feel of what's best for the plants. As always, tips and recommendations appreciated!

Seems like this was a bubblegum variety strain judging by the smell and structure of the plant. I would recommend it, If I knew what it was.

Well I made the decision to remove the plastic cover of the greenhouse because these babies are HUGE. Never had a plant this tall, ever, especially an auto. I removed all the lighting and left them and the other hydro girls exposed to the natural elements. Most were barely showing any signs of flowering so I figured the natural lighting would be sufficient and promote flowering. All my lighting is IP65 rated waterproof so I'm still looking for another way to mount them to run during the day when light is scarce or on cloudy days etc. But not for any extra time compared to sunrise and sunset. Have been removing large fans from the bottom up, exposing lower nodes. Also have been adding support their extremely long branches or tieing them back to the main stalk loosely at a node with hemp rope. At this point I'm not at all dissapointed that these Devils haven't flowered sooner, I expected delayed flowering because of the high doses of Superthrive throughout most of vegetative life. I just hope theres enough time left in the season for them to finish! Had to add an extension on our fencing lol, but the neigbors seem cool 😎, its legal anyways. Will add official height and current pictures in a few hours.

Overall I am satisfied with this grow and harvest . The plant was extremely resilient. She was a beast and in a better environment she would have been even more amazing. She smells great . I refuse to smoke her before she’s fully cured . So I’ll be back in a little over a month with the update

Was geht growmies, Hab diese Woche einmal für zwei Tage vergessen zu gießen, und das haben mir die Pflanzen ziemlich übel genommen. Zum Glück haben sie sich nach zwei weiteren Tagen wieder erholt, paar Blätter sind gelb geworden, hab diese größtenteils entfernt. Die Buds sind zudem viel zu schwer für die Stängel, sodass ich sie an paar Stellen fixieren musste. Es geht grade ziemlich rapide voran, werde ab nächster Woche auch schon anfangen mit dem Flush und die lichtintensität langsam runterdrehen. Wünsche euch ein schönes Wochenende und stay high 🍀😊

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 12 | Big Mama Has Entered the Room 💎👑🌿 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And... LOOK WHO FINALLY GOT HER PHOTOS. 😂📸💎 After last week's little photographic disaster... "I forgot her." Then... "WAIT! I FOUND THE PHOTOS!" 😂😂😂 ...we are officially back on track. And honestly? I'm very happy we found them. Because Black Diamond Pheno B deserves to be seen. She's impressive. Very impressive. She's not necessarily the most glamorous girl in the room. She's not the one that immediately screams for attention with every single flower. She's not trying to compete with her sister. But there's something about this girl that keeps making me stop and look. She's BIG. She's substantial. She's powerful. She's filled her space. And at this point... I've started calling her: Big Mama. 😂💎👑 And honestly? It fits. She's Big Mama in her own way. She's got that presence. That "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere" kind of presence. She's standing there... beautifully doing her thing... and becoming more impressive every week. So this week... let's finally give Big Mama the spotlight she deserves. 💎👑🌿🔥 ──────────────────────── 💎 WEEK 12 – BIG MAMA IS SHOWING HERSELF ──────────────────────── Last week we were talking about the girl the camera forgot. This week? No such problem. 😂📸 The camera found her. And I'm very happy it did. Because when you actually look at the photographs... you can see how much plant we're dealing with here. She's big. She's tall. She's developed. She's carrying a substantial amount of flowering structure. And she's got a presence that's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. She's not necessarily the prettiest girl in the room. And I'm perfectly happy saying that. Because beauty isn't the only way a plant can impress you. Some plants are delicate. Some are elegant. Some are frosty little jewels. And some... are Big Mama. 😂💎👑 She's impressive. That's her thing. ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA HAS HER OWN PERSONALITY ──────────────────────── I think we've finally found the right nickname for her. Big Mama. 😂💎 Because she's not trying to be flashy. She's not trying to steal the spotlight. She just keeps getting bigger... and bigger... and more substantial... and somehow every time I look at her I think: "Okay, Mama..." 😂 She's got her own personality. Her own structure. Her own pace. Her own way of developing. And that's exactly what we've been trying to document throughout the 8×8 Adventure. Not every plant needs to be spectacular in the same way. Sometimes the character is in the structure. Sometimes it's in the size. Sometimes it's in the flowers. Sometimes it's simply in the presence of the plant. And Black Diamond Pheno B? She's got presence. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S A BIG GIRL ──────────────────────── Looking at these photographs... I think the word "substantial" is probably the safest description. She's filled her space. She's developed vertically. She's carrying flowers throughout her structure. And when you step back and look at the entire plant... you realize just how much she's actually built. She's not a tiny plant hiding somewhere underneath the canopy. She's right there. Standing tall. Doing her thing. And honestly... I'm still impressed by her. Especially when I remember how differently she started compared with her sister. Pheno A became the obvious star with those ridiculous "every cola is a main cola" structures. Pheno B? She took a different route. And now... she's become Big Mama. 😂💎👑 Different story. Same genetic family. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE STILL DEVELOPING ──────────────────────── The flowers continue to develop throughout the plant. And this is something I really like about her. She's not just one impressive top surrounded by empty space. There are flowering structures distributed throughout her architecture. Upper areas. Side branches. Lower sections. Different levels. Different angles. And together... they create the overall presence of this girl. She's becoming more substantial by the week. And that's really what I want to watch now. Not some dramatic change. Not some sudden transformation. Just... continued development. More flower. More structure. More density. More personality. Week by week. 🌸💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 💎 SHE MAY NOT BE THE PRETTIEST – BUT SHE'S IMPRESSIVE ──────────────────────── I'm going to say something that I think is actually important. She isn't necessarily the most beautiful plant in the room. 😂 And that's okay. Because if we only judged plants by which one looks prettiest in a photograph... we'd miss so much. Black Diamond Pheno B has something else. Presence. She's impressive. She's substantial. She's got a very different visual character from many of the other girls. She's not delicate. She's not trying to look perfect. She's just... a big fucking plant. 😂💎🌿 And I love that. She's got personality. She's got character. She's got her own way of filling the room. And that's worth documenting just as much as the frosty little princesses. ──────────────────────── 👭 PHENO A & PHENO B – TWO DIFFERENT BLACK DIAMONDS ──────────────────────── And of course... we can't talk about Pheno B without remembering her sister. Black Diamond Pheno A. The girl who seems determined to turn every branch into another main cola. 😂💎👑 The difference between the two is fascinating. Same genetic family. Same room. Same general environment. Same grower. Same lighting. Same nutritional foundation. And yet... look at them. Two completely different expressions. Pheno A: 💎 Dense. 🌸 Cola-heavy. 🔥 Extremely dominant flowering structures. 👑 Every branch wants to be the main cola. Pheno B: 🌿 Big. 💚 Substantial. 👑 More relaxed in her expression. 🌸 Lots of flowering structure. 💎 Her own completely different personality. Neither one needs to become the other. And that's exactly why I love having both of them in this project. The room stays relatively consistent. The genetics tell the different stories. ──────────────────────── ☀️ SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT INTERPRETATION ──────────────────────── And once again... here come the photons. 😂☀️ Black Diamond Pheno B is receiving the same general lighting environment as everybody else. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room. We've reduced the output to approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug giving us around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And I really like seeing what different plants do with the same basic opportunity. The photons don't know which phenotype they're hitting. They arrive. The leaves intercept them. The plant processes them. And then... genetics start writing the story. Black Diamond Pheno B has written: "Okay. I'll become Big Mama." 😂💎👑 Fair enough. ──────────────────────── 🌿 MORE CAPABILITY – CONTROLLED OUTPUT ──────────────────────── The lighting upgrade continues to be one of the most interesting changes in this run. We added the additional Future of Grow fixtures to give the room more capability. But we're not simply running everything at maximum because the switches are there. 😂 We're controlling the output. Around 59% from the plug. Approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And then allowing the plants to respond. That's what I like about this setup. More capability. More flexibility. But still control. And Big Mama is certainly taking advantage of the environment. 💡🌿💎 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE STRUCTURE IS WHAT IMPRESSES ME ──────────────────────── When I look at these photographs, it's the overall structure that catches my attention. She's built. She's established. She's developed. The flowers are distributed throughout her architecture. And there's a clear sense that this is no longer a small plant trying to figure out what she wants to become. She knows. 😂 She's already there. She's Big Mama. And now we're simply watching her continue to develop. That's a very enjoyable stage to be in. The grower doesn't need to constantly invent something. The plant is already doing the interesting part. ──────────────────────── 👀 I'M JUST WATCHING HER NOW ──────────────────────── And honestly... that's probably the biggest theme of this week. I'm not doing much. I'm observing. That's it. I'm looking at her. I'm checking her. I'm watching the flowers. I'm watching the structure. I'm making sure she has what she needs. And otherwise... I'm letting her be. Because sometimes the best thing we can do is stop trying to improve something that is already doing beautifully. 😂🌿 The major structural work is already behind us. Now she's developing. And I'm perfectly happy to watch. If she needs something... we respond. If something changes... we adjust. But if she's happy? Let Big Mama be Big Mama. 💎👑 ──────────────────────── 💪 BIG DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN HIGH MAINTENANCE ──────────────────────── That's another thing I appreciate about her. She's big. She's substantial. She's carrying a lot of flower. But she's not constantly demanding attention. She's just... there. Growing. Developing. Doing her thing. And that's actually one of the more enjoyable kinds of plants to have in a room. The ones that don't need you to constantly invent a problem. 😂 You look. Everything looks good. You smile. You walk away. And then you come back five minutes later because you wanted to look again. 😂💎 That's Big Mama. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA FINALLY GOT HER ──────────────────────── And I'm really happy with the photographs this week. Because they give us something we missed last week. Context. Scale. Structure. Presence. You can actually see her. You can see how she's positioned in the room. You can see the height. You can see the flowering structures. And you can see why I've started calling her Big Mama. 😂👑💎 Sometimes photographs don't need to be perfect portraits. Sometimes they simply need to document what the plant actually looks like. And these do exactly that. They show us this week's version of Black Diamond Pheno B. And this version? She's impressive. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS STILL THERE ──────────────────────── And of course... she hasn't forgotten the frost. 😂💎❄️ There is still plenty of resin throughout the developing flowers. But I think what's interesting about her is that the frost isn't the only thing defining her. She's not relying on sparkle. Her identity is much more about the whole plant. The structure. The size. The flower distribution. The overall presence. And then... you look closer... and there's the resin. Another layer. Another detail. Another little reminder that she's still developing beautifully. ──────────────────────── GENETICS ARE SPEAKING LOUDLY ──────────────────────── This is one of those moments where I really appreciate the whole purpose of the 8×8 Adventure. Because if I had only one Black Diamond plant... I might look at her and think: "This is what Black Diamond does." But because we have Pheno A and Pheno B... we know that's not the whole story. We have two expressions. Two personalities. Two structures. Two flowering patterns. Two different interpretations of the same genetic family. And that's fascinating. The environment provides the stage. The genetics provide the personality. And the plant does the rest. Black Diamond Pheno B has certainly developed a personality of her own. Big Mama. 😂💎👑 ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION ──────────────────────── The nutritional foundation remains consistent 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 adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Again... nothing special just because she's Black Diamond. Same general room strategy. Same foundation. Same environment. And then... we watch. She's responding beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 12 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room remains broadly around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same general conditions. Same lighting philosophy. Same nutrition. Different plant. Different story. 💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA DOESN'T NEED TO COMPETE ──────────────────────── And maybe that's what I like most about her. She doesn't need to compete. She's not trying to be Pheno A. She's not trying to be the prettiest girl. She's not trying to be the frostiest. She's simply being herself. And that's enough. Because when you stand back and look at her... she makes an impression. She's big. She's established. She's carrying beautiful flowers. She's occupying her space. And she's doing it comfortably. That's her personality. That's her story. And that's exactly what I want to document. ──────────────────────── 🌸 BULKING AND BECOMING ──────────────────────── The flowers are continuing to build. And that's where my attention is now. I'm watching the structures become more substantial. I'm watching the flowers gain volume. I'm watching the overall plant continue to mature. Nothing needs to happen overnight. Nothing needs to be forced. We're simply watching the progression. And honestly... that's one of the most satisfying parts of the entire run. Because when you stop trying to make something happen... you start noticing what is already happening. And with Big Mama? A lot is happening. 😂💎🌸 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW ──────────────────────── At this point, I'm watching: 🌸 Flower development. 💎 Resin development. 🌿 Overall structure. 💪 Branch strength. 👑 How the plant continues to carry herself. 📸 And, most importantly... I'm making sure I DON'T FORGET THE CAMERA AGAIN. 😂😂😂 Lesson learned. Big Mama gets photographed. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – BIG MAMA ──────────────────────── Week 12. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B. And I think we've finally found her nickname. Big Mama. 😂💎👑 She's not necessarily the most beautiful plant in the room. And honestly... that's okay. Because she's impressive. Very impressive. She's big. She's substantial. She's beautiful in her own way. She's carrying flowers throughout her structure. She's developing beautifully. She's standing there with a presence that makes you stop and look. And she's doing all of it without needing to be the loudest girl in the room. That's what I love about her. She's not trying to prove anything. She's just becoming herself. And what she's becoming... is one hell of an impressive plant. 💎🌿👑🔥 So let's give Big Mama the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate the structure. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the size. Let's appreciate the genetics. And let's simply watch. Because we're reaching that beautiful stage where the plant is doing the work... and we're just lucky enough to be here documenting it. 😂🌱 Big Mama... keep doing your thing. Keep growing. Keep building. Keep shining. And let's see where this beautiful girl takes us next. 💎👑🌸🔥 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share the experience with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover these two very different expressions. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... 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 Pheno B? Last week, we lost your photographs. This week... we found them. 😂📸💎 And I'm very happy we did. Because Big Mama deserves to be seen. She's impressive. She's substantial. She's beautiful in her own way. She's growing. She's developing. She's building. And she's becoming more and more herself every week. 💎👑🌿 The 8×8 continues to remind us that there isn't one definition of a beautiful plant. Sometimes beauty is frost. Sometimes it's colour. Sometimes it's structure. Sometimes it's flowers. And sometimes... it's simply standing in the room and making everybody say: "God damn, she's big." 😂😂😂 That's Big Mama. And I absolutely love her for it. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. And let's see what this impressive Black Diamond decides to show us next. 💎👑🌸🔥 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where some girls are queens, some are princesses, some are little frosty monsters, and Black Diamond Pheno B? She's Big Mama. 😂💎👑🌿 Let her shine. 💚

Week 5 flower is progressing well. bud sites are getting bigger with more pistils and trichs on leaves everyday. This will not be a 8 week strain I'm thinking 10 but will calibrate if necessary to get the full potential of this genetic as I can see she is a special one already!
