01/19/2022 She was a he. And he will be used for some pollination. Not sure what both parents were, but growing nice, stem rubs stinky and definitely has fuzzy Melon smell. Kinda reminds me of Tangie and model glue. Hopefully a good breeder will hit some choice branches on Blue Matter F2 and test the offspring. If interested Fuzzy Mellon is Forbidden Fruit x Watermelon Zkittlez bred by Dying Breed Seeds & 3rd Gen Family. Which is good genetics imo. But the wild card is who is th daddy?... Jerry springer show lol According to leafly both parent are heavily on indica side so his stretch and node length points to a sativa daddy? I never seen an indica with such large internodal spacing. I know males will be stretching out more but still large compared to other males I've grown out. So hope you follow along to see how his offspring will develop, I will pollinate one branch of my favorite Blue Matter F2, and save some pollen for my Biscotti Skunk, Grape Skunk,and lemon og.

Week 20/12 - 5/1 2 January - Harvest!

Week 7+8 for Thelma and Louise and both gals are looking great! As I mentioned before I'm going to let these ladies go until the fade is nice and the trichs are at least 30% amber and I hope that results in FATTY colas! I cut out the silica since they are flowering nicely now. These girls have the most rock-hard stems I've come across so far, feels like bamboo and a karate kick wouldn't do shit to it LOL! Happy growing everyone!

Week 4 veg she looking happy.

💎 Black Diamond Auto by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 11 | The Girl I Forgot to Photograph 😂💎🌿 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Okay... I'm going to start this week's report with a confession. 😂 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 8×8 jungle and doing all the usual madness... I completely missed Black Diamond Pheno B. 😂💎📸 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?" 😂 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. 💎🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 😂 THE GIRL THE CAMERA FORGOT ──────────────────────── 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. 😂📸 Maybe she was standing there thinking: "Don't worry. I'll give you a break this week." 😂 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. 💎 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. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S STILL DOING HER THING ──────────────────────── 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. 💚🌿💎 ──────────────────────── 💎 BIG IN HER CORNER ──────────────────────── There's another thing I don't want to lose sight of this week. This girl is not small. 😂 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. 💎🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS KEEP MOVING ──────────────────────── 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." 😂🌸 And she is. She's getting there. Week by week. Flower by flower. And she's doing it beautifully. ──────────────────────── ❄️ STILL A BLACK DIAMOND ──────────────────────── The frost hasn't disappeared just because I forgot the camera. 😂❄️💎 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. 😂 And apparently this week, the photographer's brain decided: "Everybody except her." 😂📸 Next week... we fix that. ──────────────────────── 👭 THE OTHER BLACK DIAMOND ──────────────────────── 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. ──────────────────────── 💡 THE ROOM HAS CHANGED — SHE'S STILL HERSELF ──────────────────────── 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: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally decreasing depending on plant height and position. The goal isn't simply: "MORE LIGHT!" 😂 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. 💡🌿💎 ──────────────────────── ☀️ SAME PHOTONS. DIFFERENT STORY. ──────────────────────── This is probably one of the biggest themes running through the entire 8×8 Adventure. 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. 😂🌿 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. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – SAME ROOM, SAME ADJUSTMENT ──────────────────────── The flowering nutrition has also moved forward 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 adjustment as required Current solution parameters are around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm Nothing special just for Pheno B. No secret recipe. No special treatment. She's part of the same room-wide strategy. And she's responding beautifully. Which is exactly what I want to see. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 – CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h The environment remains consistent. The lighting has been upgraded. The nutrition has been adjusted. And the girls are continuing to do what they do. Pheno B included. 🌿💎 ──────────────────────── 😂 SOMETIMES THE PLANT ISN'T THE PROBLEM ──────────────────────── This week is actually a funny reminder of something else. We're always looking for plant problems. Too much. Too little. Too fast. Too slow. Too tall. Too short. Too leafy. Not leafy enough. 😂 And then sometimes... the plant is perfectly fine. The only problem is the guy holding the camera. 😂📸 Black Diamond Pheno B didn't forget to grow. I forgot to photograph her. There is a difference. 😂💎 And honestly... I'll take that kind of problem every week. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SHE'S STILL SHINING BRIGHT ──────────────────────── 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. 💚 ──────────────────────── 📸 NEXT WEEK, I OWE HER ──────────────────────── I think we need to officially put this in the diary. 😂 Black Diamond Pheno B... Next week, the camera is yours. No excuses. No disappearing. No: "Oops, I photographed everybody except you." 😂📸💎 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. ──────────────────────── SAME ROOM. DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES. ──────────────────────── And that's where I keep coming back. Twelve different genetic stories. One shared environment. 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. 😂💎👑 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? ──────────────────────── At this stage, I'm simply watching the progression. 🌸 Flower development. ❄️ Resin development. 🌿 Foliage health. 💎 Structure. ⚖️ Stability. 📸 And next week... THE PHOTOS. 😂 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. ──────────────────────── 💎 SHE DOESN'T NEED TO SHOUT ──────────────────────── 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. 💎🌿💚 ──────────────────────── 👑 LET HER SHINE ──────────────────────── So yes... this week the camera failed her. 😂📸 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. 💎🌿👑 ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – EVEN WITHOUT THE PHOTOS ──────────────────────── Week 11. Black Diamond Auto Pheno B. And somehow... this week's story is partly about what we didn't photograph. 😂 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. 😂📸💎 Let's see what this beautiful girl has been hiding from us while I was apparently photographing everybody else. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── 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. 😂📸 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. 💡💚 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 8×8 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... 😂💎📸 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. 💎👑📸 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. 😂 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 💚🌱💎 See you next week in the 8×8 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. 😂👑📸 P.S.- Found them 😂👑📸

Ok they're not gonna put much more weight on now, still smell dank, nice solid buds. Can't really compare it to other fat banana grows as it looks like they've given up 😕 Even tho this is not my best grow i will persevere.............. bla bla bla bla bla bla I'm off to a BBQ

IIt’s been a little over a week now, and the buds have slowed down their fattening phase. There is still some growth, but I think ripening has begun. After examining the buds and trichomes thoroughly, I’m seeing mostly cloudy heads, so harvest can’t be far away. When I open the tent, my whole room smells sweet and citrusy. All the plants look perfectly healthy, with only slight signs of light stress—even after reducing the PPFD from 1000–1100 during peak flowering down to around 800 for the last 2–3 weeks. It might just be because the plants are now fully in “fall mode.” Right after harvesting, I’m going to take some macro shots of the nicest top buds. Kings Kush: The terpene profile has stayed consistent compared to last week, but I’m picking up stronger grape or berry aromas now. The buds are huge. Blue Dream: Pure gas with a hint of sweetness. About 80% of the pistils are now a nice orange, but the trichomes are only around 50% milky. It might take a week or two longer than the other plants. Mimozz: Sharp calyxes, frosty leaves, and crazy fruity aromas. I’d say this strain is the closest to harvest and lives up to the predicted flowering time of 7–8 weeks. I really wish I had taken a cutting to preserve this beautiful phenotype. Coco Fresh: The buds are still getting bigger, and even the lowest ones are turning purple and fat. It’s by far the prettiest plant of them all. The flowers smell super pleasant, with a mix of gassy cream and ripe fruit. I can’t wait to harvest them!👽😎
