Getting closer and closer to the final days it’s the last plant and I have it under my new phovivis opticgrow x240 I felt it was a decent test to throw a plant under the light for the last week just to make sure plant do like the specific spec it puts off. All in all this plant is some gas and still looks healthy

I harvested the bottom half exactly one week after the top :)) I could weight precisely this time, 126g wet for the 4 branches with stem. Should be ~100g of wet buds, 150g for the top so ~250g in total (40/50g dry maybe?). I’m happy with that, it’s more than I expected for this plant First half is 30.1g trimmed :) I’m trimming the next half in one week

πŸ’Ž 8Γ—8 Adventure – Week 14 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno A πŸ‘‘ Part 1: The Queen Has Spoken… Harvest Me, DogDoctor! πŸ’Žβœ‚οΈπŸŒΈπŸ“Έ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8Γ—8 Adventure! πŸŒ±πŸ’š Well, my friends… Our not-so-humble plant. Our not-so-humble cultivar. Our beautiful Black Diamond. πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘βœ¨ After weeks of watching her grow, build, stack, frost up, and make herself noticed in the room, she finally gave me the message I'd been expecting. "DogDoctor… PLEASE HARVEST ME." πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž And you know what? That's exactly what we did. But not before giving this girl one last opportunity to shine in front of the camera. Because if there's one thing Black Diamond Pheno A has earned throughout this adventure, it's a proper goodbye to the tent. And when I say goodbye, I don't mean we're finished documenting her. Not even close! This is simply the end of her flowering chapter inside the tent. There's still trimming, drying, weighing, curing, and eventually a proper smoke review to come. So consider this Part 1 of her harvest story: the last day in the tent, the photography, the breakdown, and the beginning of her drying journey. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏπŸ“Έ And before we get started, a small explanation for everyone following the diary. ──────────────────────── πŸ“’ WHY ARE WE STILL POSTING THIS UNDER A FLOWERING WEEK? First things first! Yes, this update is still being published as a flowering-week report, even though Black Diamond has now been harvested. And there's a very simple reason for that. GrowDiaries has a limit of 30 photos per update, and between the harvest, studio photography, photo stacking, trimming, drying, and eventual smoke report, we have far more material to share than we can comfortably fit into one harvest entry. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸ’Ž I don't want to throw everything into one report, squeeze the story until it barely makes sense, or leave out photographs and details that deserve to be seen. So we're splitting the journey into separate chapters. This first part covers her final day in the tent, the last photographs of the living plant, the photo-stacking session, the breakdown, and the start of drying. The next chapters will continue with the rest of her harvest journey, including the trimming and drying updates, the final results, and the smoke review when we get there. That way, we can give this girl the attention she deserves without trying to squeeze an entire harvest into a single update. And honestly? After following her for so many weeks, I think she deserves more than one final goodbye. πŸ’šπŸŒΏ So, for anyone wondering why a harvested plant is appearing in a flowering-week update… That's the reason! We're keeping the diary moving while giving her harvest story the space it needs. ──────────────────────── πŸ’Ž THE LAST DAY IN THE TENT Let's take a moment to appreciate how we got here. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A was part of our 8Γ—8 Adventure, where twelve plants shared the same general environment, lighting schedule, and overall growing conditions. One room. One shared stage. Twelve different stories. And this girl? She decided to make hers unforgettable. πŸ˜‚πŸ‘‘πŸ’Ž From the early stages, she developed into a magnificent plant with a beautiful structure and an impressive collection of flowering sites. As the weeks progressed, we watched her build. We watched the flowers develop. We watched the frost become more apparent. We watched those colas become increasingly impressive. And, of course, we watched that main cola claim its place in the spotlight while the rest of the plant seemed determined to remind us that it wasn't the only one worth photographing. πŸ˜‚πŸŒΈ Remember the song? "Shining bright like a diamond…" Well, I think we can officially retire that joke now. Actually, no. Let's not get carried away. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž She's still Black Diamond, and I'm probably going to keep humming that song every time I look at her photographs. But the important thing is that this beautiful phenotype has now reached the end of her time in the tent. The flowering chapter is complete. And today, we get to appreciate the result of that journey before moving into the next stage. ──────────────────────── 🌸 ONE LAST LOOK BEFORE SAYING GOODBYE Before taking her out of the tent, I wanted to capture her beauty one last time. The colours. The flowers. The overall structure. The individual colas. The details that make this particular phenotype so special. And I'm really happy we did. Because once the plant is taken down and broken apart, we can still photograph individual flowers, but we can never recreate that exact moment when the whole living plant is standing there in her environment. That's why I wanted those final photographs. I wanted to remember her as she was. Standing in the tent. Surrounded by the equipment and lights that had been part of her journey. Looking absolutely beautiful. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏπŸ“Έ And then came the next part. Taking her out of the tent and into the studio. Because apparently, even after growing a beautiful plant for weeks, I'm still not finished taking photographs of her. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ ──────────────────────── πŸ“Έ THE PHOTO-STACKING SESSION β€” PATIENCE, LIGHTS AND A LOT OF PHOTOGRAPHS Now, this is where things get particularly interesting for me. Because some of you might look at a final macro photograph and think: "Beautiful picture!" And that's exactly the reaction I hope to get. But there's a whole process behind that final image. Photo stacking is not simply pointing the camera at a flower, pressing the shutter once, and calling it a day. It's a process that takes time, patience, attention, and a little bit of stubbornness. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸ”¬ For this session, I took Black Diamond into the studio and worked with my lighting setup to get the look I wanted. I'm using three or four LED lights from SmallRig, positioning and adjusting the light to bring out the details while keeping the final image as close as possible to the visual result I'm looking for. Light makes an enormous difference in macro photography. The angle. The intensity. The shadows. The highlights. The way the surface details catch the light. All of it changes how the final photograph looks. And because I want to show the flowers in as much detail as possible, I spend time getting the lighting right before and during the process. It's not just about making the image bright. It's about making the details visible. πŸ’‘πŸ“ΈπŸ’Ž Then comes the stacking itself. Instead of relying on a single photograph to show the entire subject in focus, I take a sequence of images with different focus positions. Those images are then merged into one final photograph, combining the sharp areas from across the sequence. The result can show far more of the subject in focus than a single frame would normally capture at this magnification. But the process takes time. A lot of time. And sometimes… A LOT of photographs. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ ──────────────────────── πŸ”¬ 321 PHOTOS… 347… 365… 399… 596… 599! Let's talk numbers, because the photographs we're sharing tell their own story. The smallest stack in this selection contains 321 photographs merged into one image. And the largest? 599 photographs merged into one final stack. Five hundred and ninety-nine. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž At that point, I think we can safely call it a 600-photo stack. One photograph short, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ The other stacks include sequences of 347, 365, 399, and 596 photographs, among others. Every stack represents a series of individual frames that have to be captured and processed to create the final result. And when you see the finished image, it's easy to forget how much work went into it. That's why I also shared a video of me actually doing the photo stacking. I wanted to give everyone a better idea of what happens behind the scenes. You can see the process. You can see how the work progresses. And you can get a sense of how much patience goes into creating these images. It's not necessarily as slow as it might sound, and we managed to photograph a lot of material during the session. But it certainly isn't instant. πŸ˜‚πŸ”¬πŸ“Έ And honestly? I love it. I love the process. I love the challenge. I love watching all those individual frames come together. And I love seeing the final result when the details become visible in a way that a single photograph simply couldn't reproduce. ──────────────────────── πŸ’Ž WHY I LOVE PHOTO STACKING For me, photo stacking is another way of appreciating the plant. We spend weeks watching the whole plant develop. We look at the canopy. We follow the branches. We compare the colas. We watch the flowers change. But when you move into macro photography, you enter another world entirely. Suddenly, the details become the subject. You can explore the textures, the shapes, the colours, and the intricate surface of an individual flower. You can take something you've been looking at for weeks and appreciate it from a completely different perspective. And that's what makes this process so enjoyable for me. It's not just about taking a pretty photograph. It's about looking closer. It's about curiosity. It's about patience. And it's about the satisfaction of creating an image that represents the subject the way I want to show it. πŸ’šπŸ“ΈπŸ”¬ Some people enjoy growing. Some people enjoy photography. Some people enjoy both. And apparently, I enjoy growing a plant for weeks and then spending even more time photographing the hell out of it. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž But that's part of the fun. And if the final photographs make somebody stop scrolling for a moment and appreciate the details, then all that time was worth it. ──────────────────────── πŸŽ₯ A LITTLE BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO Alongside the photographs, I also shared a video of me working through the photo-stacking process. I wanted to show the reality behind the finished images. Because a finished macro photograph can look simple when you see it on a screen. But behind that final result are the individual frames, the focus changes, the lighting decisions, and the time spent bringing everything together. The video gives you a glimpse of that process. It's a little reminder that the photograph isn't always just one photograph. Sometimes it's hundreds of them. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ And when you're looking at a 599-image stack, you can appreciate why patience is such a big part of the process. I hope you enjoy seeing a little of the work that happens outside the tent, because documenting this adventure isn't just about the plants. It's also about the photography, the equipment, the experiments, and the things I enjoy learning along the way. ──────────────────────── βœ‚οΈ FROM THE TENT TO THE BREAKDOWN Once the photography was done, it was time to move on. Black Diamond was taken out of the tent, and we began breaking the plant down for drying. This is where the story changes. We move away from the living plant and into the post-harvest stage. I removed the fan leaves and the larger leaves that I didn't want to keep with the flowers during drying. Then I broke the plant down into smaller sections rather than leaving the whole plant intact. It's not what I'd call a full wet trim. It's closer to a light, partial trim before drying. The aim here was to remove the larger unwanted foliage and prepare the flowers for the next stage, while leaving the detailed trimming work for later. And yes… those beautiful big buds we spent weeks admiring? They were broken down into smaller sections for the drying process. πŸ˜‚βœ‚οΈπŸŒΈ I know. I know. We spent all those weeks talking about her beautiful colas, her impressive flowers, and how she was shining like a diamond. And then I came along with the scissors. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ But that's part of the process. The plant has reached the end of her time in the tent, and now we're preparing her for the next stage of the journey. The flowering chapter is over. The drying chapter begins. ──────────────────────── 🧀 THE GLOVE TELLS A STORY β€” LOOK AT THAT RESIN! Now, this is one of those little details I really wanted to include. While bucking the plant down and handling the flowers, resin started accumulating on my glove. And when I looked at it… well… I had to take a photograph. πŸ˜‚πŸ’ŽπŸ§€ Look at that! This girl has been building resin throughout her flowering journey, and the glove gives us a very visual reminder of just how sticky things became during the breakdown. The plant was still fresh at this point, so the resin on the glove was collected from handling the living, freshly harvested material. That's why I jokingly call it a little bit of charas in the context of the harvest. Strictly speaking, resin collected on a glove isn't automatically the same thing as finished charas, but you get the idea. πŸ˜‚πŸŒΏπŸ’Ž It's a lovely little behind-the-scenes detail, and I think the photograph makes the point beautifully. We can talk about frost. We can talk about resin. We can take hundreds of macro photographs. But sometimes all it takes is one glove covered in sticky resin to make you stop and say: "Okay, Black Diamond… I see you!" πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž She certainly left her mark. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ THE DRYING CHAPTER BEGINS After the breakdown and initial preparation, we placed the flowers on the drying rack and moved her into a separate drying tent. The rest of the 8Γ—8 Adventure is continuing in the original room, with the other plants still growing and following their own timelines. Black Diamond has moved into a different space for this next stage. And, of course, that space is kept completely dark for drying. Her time under the flowering lights is over. Now it's time for a different environment and a different kind of patience. πŸŒ‘πŸŒΈ For the initial drying period, our intended environmental starting point is approximately: 🌑️ Temperature: 20–21Β°C πŸ’§ Relative humidity: around 45% initially, with the intention of moving toward approximately 60% as the drying environment is adjusted. These are the intended starting conditions for this stage, rather than a claim that the environment has already remained at those values continuously. The initial lower humidity is part of the plan to help manage the moisture still present in the freshly harvested flowers. We'll be watching how the drying environment behaves and adjusting our approach as the process progresses. The longer-term aim is to maintain a stable, suitable drying environment rather than chase numbers without considering the actual conditions. And this is important: The drying process is not finished just because the plant has been harvested and placed on a rack. This is the beginning of another stage that deserves its own attention. The flowers still contain substantial moisture, and the way they dry will influence the quality of the final result. So now we wait, observe, and document. πŸŒ¬οΈπŸŒΈπŸ’š ──────────────────────── ⏳ HOW LONG WILL SHE DRY? Normally, the drying period in my experience can fall somewhere around one to two weeks, but that is a general expectation, not a deadline. It can vary depending on the temperature, relative humidity, airflow, the size and density of the material, and how the conditions behave over time. Two harvests don't necessarily dry at the same speed. Even within the same harvest, different sections can behave differently. So we're not going to decide in advance that Black Diamond must be ready on a particular day. We'll monitor the process and see how she progresses. The next report will give us an opportunity to discuss how long she's been drying, how stable the conditions have been, and what we're observing as the process continues. For now, she's resting. The lights are off. The flowers are on the rack. And the camera work continues. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸŒΈ We'll let time tell us when the next chapter is ready. ──────────────────────── πŸ’‘ FROM FLOWERING LIGHTS TO THE DARKROOM One of the interesting things about this transition is how quickly the environment around the plant changes. For weeks, we've been talking about the flowering room. The Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. The additional lighting capability. The approximate 1,500 PPFD reference across the upper canopy. The shared 12/12 schedule. The Lumiflora lighting deeper in the canopy. The TrolMaster equipment helping us monitor and manage the environment. And now? Black Diamond has left all of that behind. πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ž She's no longer part of the active flowering canopy. She's in a separate drying space, in darkness, beginning a completely different stage. The rest of the room is still going. The other plants haven't suddenly decided to follow her. They're continuing their own journeys, and we'll keep documenting them individually. That's another important part of the 8Γ—8 Adventure. Not every plant reaches the same point at the same time. Each one has her own timeline. Black Diamond has told us she's ready to leave the tent. And now we're giving her the next chapter. ──────────────────────── 🌿 A QUICK LOOK BACK β€” FROM SEED TO HARVEST Before we close this first part, I want to look back at the journey. Black Diamond Auto Pheno A was grown from seed under a 12/12 light schedule from the beginning. That was part of the wider 8Γ—8 Adventure, where we followed different plants and phenotypes sharing the same general environment. From the early stages, she behaved beautifully. She developed into a magnificent plant. She built an impressive structure. She produced a beautiful collection of flowers. She gave us those colas that kept making me stop and take another look. And as the weeks progressed, she became one of the plants in the room that was impossible to ignore. πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘πŸŒΈ Her main cola was beautiful, but the rest of the plant wasn't interested in taking a supporting role. The other flowering sites kept developing, and the whole plant became a beautiful example of her own individual expression. That's what made her so much fun to follow. We weren't trying to make her behave like the other plants. We were observing what she did under the same general conditions. And she gave us her own answer. A beautiful Black Diamond Auto phenotype, grown from seed under 12/12, now ready to leave the tent and begin the post-harvest journey. From seed to a magnificent plant. From flowering to harvest. And now, from harvest into drying. One chapter closes. Another begins. πŸ’šπŸŒ±πŸ’Ž ──────────────────────── πŸ”¬ THE 8Γ—8 ADVENTURE β€” SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT STORIES Black Diamond's harvest also reminds us of the original idea behind this entire project. Twelve plants sharing one room. The same general environmental framework. The same lighting schedule. The same overall approach to nutrition and care. And then we observe what each plant does. Some grow taller. Some remain more compact. Some develop particular flower structures. Some move faster. Some take longer. And eventually, they reach their own milestones. Black Diamond has now reached hers. But the 8Γ—8 Adventure continues. The other plants are still in the room, still developing, and still writing their own stories. We'll continue giving each phenotype her own report, because every plant deserves to be documented as an individual rather than simply becoming one photograph in a group. And Black Diamond? She's earned her own harvest series. πŸ˜‚πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘ ──────────────────────── πŸ’Ž PART 1 COMPLETE β€” BUT HER STORY IS FAR FROM OVER So, my friends, this is the end of the first part of Black Diamond Auto Pheno A's harvest journey. We said goodbye to her in the tent. We took her into the studio. We photographed her. We created photo stacks containing hundreds of individual frames. We shared a glimpse of the process in a behind-the-scenes video. We broke her down. We removed the larger unwanted leaves. We prepared the flowers for drying. And we discovered that she was more than happy to leave a little resin behind on the glove. πŸ˜‚πŸ§€πŸ’Ž She's now resting in the drying tent, in darkness, while the rest of the 8Γ—8 Adventure continues in the flowering room. But don't worry. This isn't the final report. We still have more to share. The drying process deserves its own update. The trimming deserves its own attention. The final results deserve their moment. And, when the time comes, we'll sit down for the smoke review and talk about the experience of the finished product. We're not going to rush those chapters just to close the diary. We'll document them as they happen. For now, we're simply marking the end of her time in the tent and the beginning of everything that follows. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΈπŸŒ¬οΈ ──────────────────────── πŸ’­ FINAL THOUGHTS β€” THE QUEEN HAS LEFT THE TENT Black Diamond Auto Pheno A. Our not-so-humble girl. Our beautiful diamond. Our queen of the 8Γ—8. πŸ‘‘πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏ After weeks of growing, stacking, developing, and shining, she finally gave me the message: "Please harvest me." And that's what we did. Not before giving her one last photographic session. Not before taking her into the studio. Not before creating stacks containing 321, 347, 365, 399, 596, and 599 photographs. πŸ˜‚πŸ“ΈπŸ’Ž Not before breaking her down and seeing the resin collecting on the glove. And not before making sure that her next chapter was ready to begin. She's now in the drying tent, in darkness, resting on the rack. The next stage will take the time it takes. We'll observe. We'll document. We'll see how the conditions behave. And we'll share the results in the next chapters. I'm incredibly happy with how this journey has unfolded. Not just because of the beautiful plant we've harvested, but because of everything we've been able to document along the way. The growth. The differences between phenotypes. The photography. The experiments. The unexpected lessons. And now, the harvest. That's what this adventure is about. It's about growing, learning, observing, and sharing the journey honestly. And Black Diamond has given us a beautiful story from beginning to end of flowering. So, my precious diamond… Thank you for the show. Thank you for the photographs. Thank you for the resin-covered glove. πŸ˜‚πŸ’ŽπŸ§€ And thank you for making me hum that damn song every time I walked into the room. "Shining bright like a diamond…" Of course you were. πŸ’Žβœ¨πŸ‘‘ Your time in the tent is over. But your story isn't finished. Rest well, beautiful girl. We'll see you in the next chapter. ──────────────────────── πŸ™ THANK YOU β€” TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED MAKE THIS JOURNEY POSSIBLE A massive thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document this adventure, share our observations, and keep the individual stories of these plants alive from seed to harvest. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond Auto genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow this beautiful phenotype throughout her journey. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden with the growing media and nutrition used throughout the run. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup in the 8Γ—8. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And a special shoutout to SmallRig for the LED lighting equipment helping me create the studio setup I use for my photography. Getting the light where I want it is a big part of the process, and those lights are part of how I work toward the images I want to produce. πŸ’‘πŸ“ΈπŸ’š Finally, thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every photograph you stop to look at. Every bit of support. It genuinely means a lot. And thank you to Black Diamond herself for giving us such a beautiful plant to document. πŸ’ŽπŸŒΏπŸ‘‘ 24 cultivars. One room. Different genetics. Different stories. And one beautiful Black Diamond who has now moved from the flowering tent into the drying tent. The next chapter is already underway. We'll keep documenting. We'll keep learning. We'll keep sharing the process. And we'll give her the time she needs. Growers Love, my friends. πŸ’šπŸŒ± Happy growing, take care everyone… And remember: This is Part 1 of the harvest story. The Queen has left the tent, but the final chapters are still to come. πŸ’ŽπŸ‘‘πŸŒΈπŸŒ¬οΈ See you in the next update! πŸ“ΈπŸ’š

D98 : growing nicely. Stretching a bit now that she's had about a week in the 10 gallon. I've had my first request of clones from a friend so I'm going make four little cuts off this one for him. D100: very bushy and dense again, check out all the leaves and sticks. trained it out again. So so many branches. I'm not sure how it'll flower with so many branches being so close together. Took four clones for a friend as well.

6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

Always seemed like it needed cal/mag because of the neon green color. I did give it to them but didn’t make a difference.

This plant is coming along nicely. Starting to bud up a little bit now. Haven’t had any issues crop up this week. She will be getting a top dress soon to keep her happy. 😎🍿

We are hitting week 4 now! Plant looks strong, has a nice green look overall and she seems to like her new home! I give her every 4 days ph regulated water. 1liter from the bottom, about 1,5l from above. I will give the plant another week unter the trellis to make sure the side branches catch up. Curious how week 4 is going!
