Just getting started on the right foot. Coco and bags sterilized and flushed thoroughly with 0.7EC at 6.0pH solution. Will transplant tomorrow once the coco drains down a bit. Plants look great and excited to push down the accelerator. 4/2 - transplanted into 3 gal and watered in. 4/4 - Reservoir cleaned, sanitized, and online. Switched to tap water (0.3EC) and nutes at 0.8EC for total of 1.1. Ph 5.9. New feed pump installed (no more getting electrocuted when I put my hand in the bucket. YAY!) and 5" watering rings installed. PPFD 550. 4/5 - really quite chuffed. PPFD to 600 and they are looking great. Moved Zoey up 2" to match canopy height. 4/6 - switched Silica Boost to foliar spray at rate of 40ml / gal in RO water, pH to 5.8

GENERAL COMMENT. So the RQS STRESS KILLER AUTO is down. Now we have the NL to manoeuvre and try to keep her alive for the final flush. RQS NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTO COMMENT. Many but slim colas emerged, showing extreme spotting and deficiencies, but gained weight since last week and started turning purple, first time that happens. So now the final flush started and hope, afraid taste could be off, because of the problems i ran in with her, probably a good strain to considere light feeding, the smell is very gentle, a good strain to do stealth. 10-14 day to go! Yield could be amazing but will be common because of the locks, nothing out of the curve in my opinion, something to retry and correct to deal with this strain. Not turned on or off by her just feeling neutral and glad she made it. Trichomes wise she is just ready, mostly cloudy, she will finish with some amber will do a nice sleeping aid. Trim job will be a pain on this one because i will clean all the small affected spotted leaves.

Looks super frosty and her resin is super sticky hate when they say you can't get the best quality organically. It's the same way around. Purest aromas,finest flavors,love to grow with nature and love this genetic by original sensible seeds ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿช

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grow. First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of โ€‹โ€‹3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this Blue cheese Auto from Royal queen seeds will turn out. Blue Cheese automatic cannabis seeds are a cross of Blueberry Automatic and Cheese Automatic that has been perfected over five years of breeding and careful selection. The result is a feminized, autoflowering strain with superior yield, flavor, and effects to either of its distinguished parent strains. THC: 16% CBD: Low Yield Indoor : 325 - 375 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 60 - 110 gr/plant Height Indoor: 40 - 70 cm Height Outdoor: 60 - 110 cm Flowering: 7 - 8 weeks Harvest month: 9-10 weeks after planting Genetic Background: Blueberry x Cheese x Ruderalis Type: Sa 35% In 40% Ru 25% Effect: Cerebral and uplifting Climate: Mild ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-18. Week 5 starts and the girls are doing fine. Girl Nr 1 is 37 cm high, Nr 2 is 88 cm and Nr 3 is 23 cm. Did a lot of defoliation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-19. 2 new fans is installed in the grow room. Added pic and video. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-20. Kl 10.00. New pics and video. Girl Nr 1 is 39 cm high, Nr2 is 99 and Nr 3 is 21 cm. Kl 23.00. Did some massive defoliation, added video and pics ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-22. The girls have recovered well after my massive defoliation. Girl number 1 is now 40 cm high, number 2 is 105 cm and number 3 is 25 cm. It is strange that 3 plants from the same strain, with the same care and environment, can distinguish so much in appearance and size. It separates 80 cm in numbers 2 and 3. In 4 days Nr1 has grown 3 cm, Nr 2 has grown 17 cm and Nr 3 has grown 4 cm. They have received 7 liters of water and nutrition today.

Had 84g of the purple but smoked some waiting for the green pheno 72g. Thought I'd show pics anyway just to have some confirmation. Super floral diesel with some fruity notes. Very easy to smoke too much of lol Definitely want to grow again maybe make hash and rosin out of some. Goodluck and happy growing everyone ๐ŸŒด

I came back after vacation, the girl is ready for cutting, the rainy weather has started, so there is a threat of rot, you can say I managed to find just a few small pits in time and removed them and threw them away, the big and stiff flowers look fantastic:) but after a long trip I was tired, so I didn't take quality photos :( no everything else, I am very satisfied with the result I got:) its smell already lets me know that it will be good:) a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash:) I will update the weight when it dries.

DAY 50 f (a day late !)!: Hi all. Thankfully i am on the mend now and starting to function again so could get back to the fun that is growing. After a week of the girls going it alone with a very very light watering only . They have proven the lack of need in my help !!!. Gutting to see them not care that i was ill and just keep growing anyway ... not sure if this is a part of the disease resistant qualities or nature proving we really get in the way ?. Lol Their week has been about ripening the pistils and trichs by the look of them now. All of the strains are really showing their proven genetics off so well . Even the stunted Mexican has added a little "something ,something " this week. They are smelling so unique between the strains with the six shootwr being the most pungent with her diesel overtones. All nice and tacky to touch with a week to add even more trichs and oils. The Strawberry An exciting ending in sight now...

Eccoci qui... Tutto va per il meglio, questa settimana non ho applicato stress alla piccola, ma ho guardato l'evoluzione che ha avuto dando i nutrienti. Ora ha un odore davvero intenso ed uno strato di resina pauroso, vediamo come si riprende dalla defogliazione che ho fatto settimana scorsa. Manca poco, settimana prossima controlliamo i trincomi. Seguiranno aggiornamenti, grazie a tutti per il supporto๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒฒโค๏ธ

Wow...I wish I had of started 10 of these instead of 3,the one I didn't transplant is in full bloom and looking amazing, they look more like plants grown indoors more than outdoor grown. Candy kush express #2 is doing great but I'm wishing I had of put her in a 15 gallon bag rather than a cut up 10ish gallon bag but she's still doing wonderful. Candy kush express #3 is getting massive and almost looks like my other plants that are 1 or 2 months older!! I really pray that this bud is fire๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™ feeding candy kush #1 raw,candy kush #2 is getting top feedings and foop organics and candy kush #3 is getting lotus

๐Ÿ’Ž Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B Week 11 | The Girl I Forgot to Photograph ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Okay... I'm going to start this week's report with a confession. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I forgot to photograph her. Yep. Somehow... somewhere between photographing the rest of the room, checking the girls, looking at flowers, chasing photons, moving around the 8ร—8 jungle and doing all the usual madness... I completely missed Black Diamond Pheno B. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ“ธ And honestly? I'm sitting here with a smile on my face because I find it absolutely hilarious. I photographed the rest of the room. I documented everybody else. I probably took far too many photographs of some of the girls. And this beautiful girl was standing there in her corner like: "Excuse me?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ So... Black Diamond Pheno B... I owe you a proper photoshoot next week. But here's the funny part. Even without this week's photographs... she's still doing exactly what she should be doing. She's growing. She's developing. She's shining. She's filling her space. And she's continuing to be this beautiful, slightly quieter Black Diamond that we've been following throughout the adventure. So this week... we're going to let her shine with words instead. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ THE GIRL THE CAMERA FORGOT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I genuinely don't know how this happened. I've got photographs from the room. I've been documenting the plants. I've been looking at the flowers. I've been checking structures. And somehow... Black Diamond Pheno B slipped through the photographic net. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Maybe she was standing there thinking: "Don't worry. I'll give you a break this week." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Or perhaps she simply decided that she didn't need the camera. Because she already knows she's beautiful. And honestly? She's not wrong. ๐Ÿ’Ž She's doing her thing. She's growing beautifully. She's continuing to develop. She's looking strong. And she's making herself very comfortable in her corner of the room. So while the photographer may have failed this week... the plant certainly didn't. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S STILL DOING HER THING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And that's actually the most important part. The absence of photographs doesn't mean the plant stopped being part of the story. Quite the opposite. She's still right there. Still growing. Still developing. Still becoming more herself. And that's something I've really enjoyed about Pheno B throughout this entire run. She has never felt like she needed to compete with her sister. She didn't try to become Pheno A. She didn't try to copy anybody else in the room. She simply established her own rhythm. More foliage. A more relaxed flowering progression. A beautiful structure. A substantial presence. And now... she's continuing that same story. She's not rushing. She's not complaining. She's not creating drama. She's just growing. And I love her for it. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž BIG IN HER CORNER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There's another thing I don't want to lose sight of this week. This girl is not small. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's around 160 cm from our last recorded measurement, and she has developed into a substantial plant. She's not hiding in the room. She's not disappearing behind the other girls. She's got her own space... and she's filling it. Beautifully. That's something that has become increasingly obvious as the run has progressed. When we first started following her, the story was: "She's the quieter Black Diamond." Now? She's a big, beautiful plant that simply happens to have a quieter personality than her sister. And I think that's an important distinction. Quiet doesn't mean insignificant. Relaxed doesn't mean slow forever. Different doesn't mean less. She's just... Pheno B. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS KEEP MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Even without photographs this week, I can still see the progression. The flowering structures are continuing to develop. The flowers are becoming more established. The plant is moving deeper into her flowering story. And that's what matters. We're not trying to make her match somebody else's timeline. We're watching her timeline. Some girls move faster. Some move a little slower. Some suddenly accelerate. Some take their time and then surprise you. And Pheno B has consistently been one of the girls who says: "Relax. I'm getting there." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ And she is. She's getting there. Week by week. Flower by flower. And she's doing it beautifully. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ STILL A BLACK DIAMOND โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The frost hasn't disappeared just because I forgot the camera. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž She's still carrying that beautiful resin-covered character we've been watching develop. And this is another reason I'm actually a little annoyed with myself for missing the photographs. Because I know there are details there that deserved to be captured. The flowers. The trichomes. The texture. The little changes from one week to the next. That's exactly why we document this project. But... sometimes the grower is human. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And apparently this week, the photographer's brain decided: "Everybody except her." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Next week... we fix that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ญ THE OTHER BLACK DIAMOND โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The comparison with Pheno A remains one of my favourite parts of this diary. Same genetics. Same room. Same grower. Same general environmental conditions. Same lighting ecosystem. Same nutritional philosophy. And yet... two completely different expressions. Pheno A has been more aggressive. More demanding. More obviously dramatic. Pheno B has been calmer. More leafy. More relaxed. More patient. And I think that's beautiful. Because the whole purpose of this adventure isn't to force every plant into the same shape. It's to give them the same general stage... and then watch genetics write the story. Pheno B has written hers differently. And honestly? I wouldn't change a thing. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก THE ROOM HAS CHANGED โ€” SHE'S STILL HERSELF โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room has continued evolving around all of them. We've added the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. We initially saw the PPFD climb higher than we wanted. So we adjusted. The fixtures are now running around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally decreasing depending on plant height and position. The goal isn't simply: "MORE LIGHT!" ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's about having more capability and controlling it intelligently. More available photons. Better distribution. More flexibility. And then... let the plants decide what to do with them. Black Diamond Pheno B has her own answer. She's growing. She's developing. She's shining. She's filling her space. And she's doing it in her own way. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ SAME PHOTONS.

We can put the plants under the same artificial sun. We can provide the same general environment. We can provide the same nutrition. We can give them the same irrigation philosophy. And still... they interpret it differently. That's genetics. The photons are the same. The room is the same. But the plants don't read the same instruction manual. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ Black Diamond Pheno B is one of those beautiful examples. She receives the same opportunity as everybody else. And then she turns that opportunity into her own expression. That's what we're here to watch. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ SAME ROOM, SAME ADJUSTMENT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The flowering nutrition has also moved forward with the rest of the room. ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.3 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โš—๏ธ pH adjustment as required Current solution parameters are around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm Nothing special just for Pheno B.

We're always looking for plant problems. Too much. Too little. Too fast. Too slow. Too tall. Too short. Too leafy. Not leafy enough. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And then sometimes... the plant is perfectly fine. The only problem is the guy holding the camera. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Black Diamond Pheno B didn't forget to grow. I forgot to photograph her. There is a difference. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž And honestly... I'll take that kind of problem every week. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S STILL SHINING BRIGHT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Even without the photographs, the visual impression of this girl remains very clear to me. She's big. She's beautiful. She's green. She's developing. She's carrying herself well. She's filling her corner. And she's continuing to mature at her own pace. There's something very satisfying about that. She doesn't need to suddenly explode. She doesn't need to become the fastest plant in the room. She doesn't need to outperform her sister. She's already doing exactly what she needs to do. And that's enough. ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ NEXT WEEK, I OWE HER โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I think we need to officially put this in the diary. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Black Diamond Pheno B... Next week, the camera is yours. No excuses. No disappearing. No: "Oops, I photographed everybody except you." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Ž I'm going to make sure we give her the attention she deserves. Because after following her this far, I don't want to miss the visual progression of this stage. The diary is about the story... but the photographs are part of the story too. And this girl deserves her chapter in pictures. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ SAME ROOM.

One room. One lighting ecosystem. One general nutritional approach. And then... twelve different interpretations. Some girls are loud. Some are quiet. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some demand. Some simply grow. Some develop quickly. Some take their time. And Black Diamond Pheno B? She's the girl who quietly keeps moving forward... while somehow becoming more and more impressive. She's not trying to steal the spotlight. But somehow... she keeps ending up underneath it anyway. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this stage, I'm simply watching the progression. ๐ŸŒธ Flower development. โ„๏ธ Resin development. ๐ŸŒฟ Foliage health. ๐Ÿ’Ž Structure. โš–๏ธ Stability. ๐Ÿ“ธ And next week... THE PHOTOS. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There is still plenty of story left. We're not finished. We're not calling the final chapter. We're simply watching her continue to mature. And I really like where she's going. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž SHE DOESN'T NEED TO SHOUT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ That's probably the best description of Pheno B. She doesn't need to shout. She doesn't need to demand attention. She doesn't need to be the fastest. She doesn't need to be the biggest girl in the room. She simply exists in her own space... and grows beautifully. That's enough. And sometimes... those are the plants you end up becoming particularly attached to. Because you're not constantly solving problems. You're just watching them become themselves. And I love watching this girl become herself. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ LET HER SHINE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ So yes... this week the camera failed her. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ But the girl? The girl didn't fail anybody. She's doing great. She's growing. She's developing. She's shining. She's filling her corner. She's continuing her flowering journey. And she's doing all of it under the same conditions as the rest of the room. Same upgrades. Same photons. Same nutrition adjustments. Same environment. Different expression. That's Black Diamond Pheno B. And I love her. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ EVEN WITHOUT THE PHOTOS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 11. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B. And somehow... this week's story is partly about what we didn't photograph. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But maybe that's okay. Because the important part is still there. She's growing. She's beautiful. She's substantial. She's developing. She's shining. She's moving at her own rhythm. And she's continuing to show us exactly why having multiple phenotypes in the same room is so fascinating. Her sister may be louder. Her sister may demand more attention. But Pheno B has her own presence. And when I look at her standing there in her corner... I smile. She's beautiful. She's doing exactly what she wants. And honestly... that's all I could ask for. Next week? Camera ready. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Ž Let's see what this beautiful girl has been hiding from us while I was apparently photographing everybody else. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another week. Another chapter. And apparently... another reminder that even after all these years, the grower can still forget to take a photograph of one of the girls. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us this place to document the journey, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Black Diamond genetics and for giving us these fascinating phenotypes to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and giving us the opportunity to explore the expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’š Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And, of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who takes the time to follow these girls week after week. It genuinely means a lot. And Black Diamond Pheno B? I'm sorry, girl... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ“ธ You were the one I forgot this week. But don't worry. You're not forgotten. Not even close. You're still standing there. Still growing. Still shining. Still filling your corner. Still becoming more beautiful. Still completely yourself. And next week... the camera is yours. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight she deserves. Even if this week... we have to imagine the photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’Ž See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the plants keep growing, the genetics keep surprising us, the crowns remain temporary, and apparently... the photographer occasionally forgets one of the queens. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ P.S.- Found them ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธ
