💎 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! 🌱💚

Going well. Good colour. Getting a good feed this week. Pretty Flowers. Lots of pistils. Some tiny smell. Day 54. Dec 17. Watered with molasses.

Watering her daily! Super frosty nugs! Happy with this little ladies result! She’s doing great all things considered about the 8.5 oz can she is in!

Hello fellas 🙏 Ladies are stronger than rocks, they can't stop! 💪 I start Hard Stress Training on 27 of June, now at the 2th of July i just top them a second time, after an hard main-lining too 😅 and now they're praying to the sun (lamp) 😍😍 I Talk to them every time that I go in the box, I sing for them I cuddle and i love them everytime more..that's the way i know! 😇 Hope you enjoy the VIDEO of the last topping, i put off the music because you could hear my dog's (Pluto!) shaking 😂 and the "TAC" moment :( I really hate cut off some part of them, sincerely...but, i think i do it very well 😂 Wait for everyone impression! Have the best (green) care of you! Omisan 🙏

Day 28ish or so who knows at this point I lost track hahah. She’s so happy and praying looking like a very happy lady. A lot different then the first one we tried to grow. I am sooo excited for her.

she should have been cut 2 weeks ago ... but I want to leave her 80% amber something KO ... will be cut the first week of February .......

11.10.21. Начало 6 недели, вчера растение перевёл на режим 12/12. Несмотря на бурное развитие, пару листов и выход по ппм показал начало переизбытка К, поэтому было принято решение полить водой. Показатели удалось снизить до приемлемых значений, это меня порадовало. В остальном без изменений, завтра хочу провести последнюю тренировку LST и после работа с сеткой скрог. Спасибо, что следите, оставляете коммент и лайки, для меня это очень важно🙏 15.10.21. Видимо из за стресса, вызванного поломкой(со сращиванием) 3 кол и фим подрезка на главной, девчонка формирует одуваны на 5 день 12/12. За 10 лет у меня такое впервые, что думаете?

Realmente muy feliz con lo obtenido, 307g en 0.8me me parece genial, estas flores tienen un aroma genial entre el típico haze mezclado con cacao, un efecto muy agradable y confortable, rica al fumar y muy poco picante gracias al lavado de raíces con flawles finish 👌👨‍🌾🏻 Totalmente recomendable esta genética de royalqueenseeds muy agradecido por la oportunidad 👍👌👨‍🌾🏻

Dutch Passion Shaman Eine aufregende und intensive Woche liegt hinter uns! Lange lasse ich die beiden nicht mehr stehen, Nebeltau und sehr hohe Luftfeuchte haben beiden Pflanzen etwas zugesetzt. Das tägliche Absuchen ist nun unerlässlich, ich finde regelmäßig neue Stellen an Blütenstielen, die sich im späteren Verlauf zu Fäulnis entwickeln würden. Die betroffenen Stellen befinden sich dort, wo ich während der Regenperiode entlaubt habe. So habe ich den Verdacht, dass ich die Blätter zu nahe am Stiel geschnitten habe. Denn dort, wo etwas mehr Blattstiel stehen blieb, sind die Stengel weiterhin gesund. Insgesamt empfinde ich die beiden als sehr robust und widerstandsfähig, vor allem wenn man bedenkt, dass dieser Sommer und Herbst immer wieder feucht bis nass war. Dennoch sollte man in dieser letzten Phase wachsam bleiben und die Pflanzen wirklich gründlich absuchen. So blieb der Verlust durch Blütenfäule sehr gering. Mit Hilfe einer Taschenlampe zum Ausleuchten von schattigen Bereichen, etwas Aufmerksamkeit und Liebe zu den schönen Pflanzen, werde ich ein sehr zufrieden stellendes Ergebnis in der Trockenkammer aufhängen können. Der Duft der beiden Shamaninnen hat sich intensiviert. Sie sind noch einmal deutlich frostiger geworden und schön ölig-harzig. Nachdem ich bereits Probeblüten getrocknet und vaporisiert habe, sowie mehrmals einen starken Cannabistee aus den Blüten gebrüht und getrunken habe, bin ich mir sicher, dass ich nun jederzeit beruhigt ernten und eine ausgewogene Wirkung erwarten kann. Es ist ein klares aktivierende Sativa High, dass mich fröhlich und kommunikativ stimmt aber nie laut wird, selbst bei sehr hoher Dosierung im Tee. Die Wirkung setzt jeweils langsam ein. Auf ein fröhliches Gähnen folgt ein Hallo-Wach-Kick und ein langanhaltendes High, dass mich sanft zurückkommen lässt. Danke für‘s vorbeischauen und das Interesse an meinen Shamaninnen. 💚

plants are going to be too big. i will have to figure something else out because i havent done any LST or anything to get them to stop,i wanted to see what they look like completely natural . i will probably angle the light and supplement the blurple light on the other side, and just turn the plant a couple times a day. if you have a better suggestion let me know

Bought a PH kit the cheap one with the vial and drops realized I’ve been watering and foliar spraying around 7 maybe slightly higher. Adjusted PH before last foliar to 6.5 roughly also maybe slightly under and WOW. Noticing the chlorophyll coming back strong and evenly. Wasnt a major issue but I had been wondering about it seems to be solved now. Also super exited both DragonsBlood have the bleeding trait!! Thank you to everyone providing answers and tips for me. Going to flower in another 2 weeks or so.

Just gave it a dose of nitrogen the other day, that should be it for the rest of flower with this big pot full of fresh soil.

7/1 Day 92 from sprout, day 37 of flower. Worth mentioning I started counting day 1 of flower from the day I switched the lights to 12/12. I guess some people count days of flower differently than that, but that’s mine. Buds have been packing on the frost over the past few days and slowly getting fatter. I know I won’t be getting any massive buds just because I topped multiple times and have a good amount of lower bud sites growing but that’s perfectly fine with me. Generally it looks like I’ll be getting golf ball sized buds all around. I also noticed I had 1 top bud site that was getting a lot more light than the others. Well I happen to be able to move that bar around away from that bud site in order to better disperse the light and even out the PAR map a bit. So I slid that over which allowed me to safely stay under 1000 PAR at that top while increasing my light up to 75%. This should result in more light for the lower parts while staying essentially the same up top. 7/5 Day 96 from sprout, day 41 of flower. I gave the light a small nudge past 75% yesterday and I haven’t seen any light stress yet. I’ll keep nudging it higher until I see something, but I gotta be near the limit. Most of my top sites are sitting around 900 PAR, but I have two sites that spike up to around 1050 PAR. I do have two CO2 bags resting on top of my light but it’s impossible to know how much that helps, if at all. Growth has been great though; buds remain frosty and are slowly getting bigger still. The top half of the buds will be of respectable size, no monsters but good solid bud. I’ll still have some larf way down in the lower half though, an unfortunate consequence of the insane stretch and being unsure how much to hack off in that scenario. I debated trimming them all off now but I’m thinking at this point in flower I should just leave her alone and grow. 7/6 It’s possible I found my upper limit on light intensity. I started to see some faint yellow areas appear on some leaves and there’s an increase of dry crispy leaf tips. So at least for this grow I think I’ve established that 75% power is the max I can do. For now I’ve backed off the lights to the last hash mark before 75%, which has most tops sitting at around 750 PAR and a few others at 850 PAR for a max DLI of 36.7. I’ll probably go back up to 75% next week.

Day 53: In this last week I moved all the plants again and removed the leaves and branches for the last time. Twenty or twenty-five days at the most for the first harvest, and I can already draw up a final report on the genetics of this strain. On eight plants of Gorilla four showed a predominance indica with a large central cola and less ramifications. Two plants are much more bushy have a sativa predominance with longer buds and have branched out a lot. For the last two unfortunately has dominated the photoperiodic genetics and their flowering is considerably late, so as to be overcome by the two cheeses that are in bloom more advanced. However, the pistils have popped up and started to bloom, so the autoflowering genetic part is present. I am a patient grower anyway, so I will wait for them to complete their cycle even if I have to wait about three months. In these days I have added to my secret garden four other varieties: 1 Purple Glam Kush and 1 Sweet Tooth Auto by Bulk Seeds, 1 Critical Rapid by Barney's Farm and 1 Northern Lights x Blueberry by i49 Seeds. New dedicated journals on arrival 😉

Hey guys and girls :) Week 4 little update. These girls could be boys and also, I am pretty sure these are not automatic :) They take a long time to develop and grow. You can also see they developed some insufficiency, the leaves don't look god. Do you guys know what is this and can it be solved with natural solutions? I will not add any nutrients. I mean will not add anything they sale as nutes. Any "gandma's" remedy guys? Feel free to advise! Thanks for watching and will update next week!

Advertised 56 day flowering. Mad yellowing I think is root bound stress, over watering/under watering, magnesium deficiency... I have no idea. I top dressed with myco, azos, and a bunch of soil to give her some extra food for the last 3 weeks. I'm hoping it'll solve any issues. I'm going to put the airpot into a 7 gal cloth pot to try and relieve some root bound issues. I never intended for her to be this big in a 2 gallon... She was an auto after all that never flipped.

Sie hat ein beachtliches Wachstum in dieser Woche gezeigt. Endlich kommt sie in den geregelten Modus, ich hoffe, dass es so bleibt. 16 cm Wachstum in einer Woche, ich freue mich. Kleine Reste meiner Schädigung sind noch in den älteren Blättern erkennbar, die neuen Blätter scheinen intakt zu sein. Ich frage mich, ob die teils panaschierten älteren Blätter ein Fehler meiner zu starken Neem-Behandlung waren oder ob es an der Genetik liegt. Auch die Auto Candy Bubatz XL und die Auto Sticky Brokkoli hatten im Anfangsstatus diese Blätter. Jetzt jedenfalls kann es so weitergehen. Vielen Dank für euren Besuch mit besten Wünschen für eine gute Grow-Woche!

Day8: First day of the new week. I assume still pretty much focusing on roots, as the top didn't really do much today. Day9: Nothing special. But she's growing Day10: Still roots, it seems. Very little happening up top. Day11: Effort being put into growing the top leaves. They increased in size. I assume that the next node will start tomorrow - kicking off the switch into Veg. Day12: Next node already showing :D Day13: I put in a humidifier and changed the cycle of the extractor to keep more moisture in the growbox. My humidity was way too low. Day14: This time the humidity was too high. It was sitting at around 95% when the lights went on.
