BOOMING. Have had an unusual amount of thrips and noticed a few Katydid nymphs on Tuesday (7/22), so I hit everything with 1.5tsp Neem Oil and 1 tsp of Dr Brommers soap in a 1 qt sprayer. I also decided to do my only planned dusting of Diatomaceous Earth. Executed that on Wednesday, 7/23, and also top dressed with DE to attack larvae. Thursday 7/24 Mixed up first batch of flowering top dressing. I put it into a 55 gal garbage can and watered it to get the cooking process started. Will only let it go for a week or so and then will top dress the girls.

I did some LTS and they really grew both taller and wider. These girls are pretty massive. I'm thinking I might need to defoliate some big leafs, clean up some lower leafs and do some more LST.

Plants looking good, I removed two fan leaves to allow more light to reach the lower branches. Im trying to encourage horizontal growth not vertical so I try to do everything I can to coax the plant outwards and not upwards. I regularly bend the stalks downwards gently with my hands. Watered with fert again this week. Nothing else to report. Next grow im definitely gonna try main lining as always any tips or comments always appreciated -

Me e saltado una semana porque estuve de vacaciones.. perdonad compaรฑeros.. Seguimos con la Semana 7 las fotos y el video son del dia 49 de vida, ya se empiezan a ver buenas florecillas y cada una de las cheese auto tiene un cogollo diferente, quizas ese es el principal problema de las autos a granel, pero que realmente eso me gusta porque huelen algo diferente cada una.. Como podreis observar las plantas estan un poco sobrefertilizadas, el Top Auto esta es la ultima semana que se lo voy a dar, en mi opinion tiene mucho Nitrogeno y mejor suprimirlo ya, lo tenia que haber echo la semana pasada o incluso la anterior. Si estuviesen en macetas seria diferente, pero al estar en el suelo no demandan tantos nutrientes porque esta tierra aunque parezca que no es muy buena en ella saco unas plantas muy decentes solo usando agua durante todo el cultivo. La pobre Titan al salir mas pequeรฑa una planta que tengo detras una Sugar Black Rose de Delicious seeds le esta quitando horas de Sol estoy intentando doblar la rama que la tapa para que al menos saque una buena porra central. Creo que va a ser la primera en cosecharse, seguramente si la hubiese puesto en otro sitio seria diferente, pero tengo el espacio que tengo y la verdad que no me esperaba que la Sugar Black Rose creciese tanto, se esta haciendo un pequeรฑo monstruito y eso que es fast version.

Big beautiful frosty buds, the smell is kicking up and Iโ€™m starting to believe these carbon filters are not so effective. Trichomes are mostly cloudy but no amber. One of the Sour Diesel plant is my favorite bud structure and scent from the whole tent. The tall OG Kush in the center of the tent got some photobleaching which I took care of with dimming the light intensity! Have some Super Buff Cherry cuttings in the CloneKing rooting while these finish up to move into the tent already!

I am very pleased with this harvest, my buds are fragrant and very strong, I did not use too much of them, it gives me the ability to concentrate and think highly, the aroma and taste of mango and lemon. I have come very far with it. So great. And happy grow.

week intel: every thing is amazing girls are ripening , we can now cause more e.c stress than before because: 1-plants are very mature now and can handle stress 2- at this week its the only stress that is helpful for increasing plant resins stresses : E.C stress around 1.6 and 1.7 3 times a week feeding: i replaced B-52 with Bloom Base Nutrient i feed them 3 times this week with this order : day 1 : i feed them high with base nutrients(calcium & micros (half dose) + Bloom) about 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause a little stress. day 3 : i feed them high dose of Top-Max + Bloom Base Nutrient around 877 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause stress . day 5 : i feed them high dose of Feeding Booster around 850 ppm - 1.7 e.c to cause e.c stress again guide of the week : last weeks are time of ripening , and the only helpful stress is e.c stress at this moment

Hola! Antes que nada, querรญa pedir disculpas por no poder continuar las semanas de vegetaciรณn como correspondรญa, pero por cuestiones personales se me hizo imposible. Las fotos corresponden al ultimo dia de la semana 13 de la planta, el dรญa 6/02/2021. En todo este periodo de crecimiento vegetativo realice mainlining, como muestro en la semana 5 subida, y luego deje que las dos ramas se desarrollen hasta tener 5 nudos cada una y realice en ambos extremos una poda apical, o topping. Luego, con tecnicas de LST fui torciendo las ramas para que vayan creciendo mas o menos parejas, pero al ser un cultivo outdoor obviamente esto no sucede tan prolijamente como en un indoor. Mas alla de eso, estoy contenta con el resultado: 10 ramas principales y muchas pequeรฑas en la vegetaciรณn. Fui haciendo defoliaciones suaves, y ahora le tocarรก la ultima antes de que empiece a florecer. Con respecto a esto, la planta sexรณ finales de enero, pero reciรฉn ahora esta comenzando a mostrar signos de que esta por empezar a florar, asรญ que la semana que viene serรก la primera de flora. Esto por mas que parezca raro suele ser comรบn por lo menos en esta region, muchas veces las plantas sexan antes y no muestran signos de comenzar a florecer hasta unas cuantas semanas despuรฉs, nada que ver a como ocurre cuando uno controla el fotoperiodo. Por suerte la temporada viene siendo mas seca de lo normal, y poco lluviosa, por lo que tuve problemas con trips pocos dรญas. En general cuando tocan veranos lluviosos se vuelve muy complicado tratar las plagas. En particular en mi patio suelo tener problemas con trips, pero no de otras plagas ya que las plantas de acompaรฑamiento son suficiente para espantarlas. En las fotos notaran que el tronco principal esta partido en dos, esto sucediรณ cuando se le cayo un peso importante encima hace 4 semanas, pero con unas rรกpidas ataduras y la correcta nutriciรณn la planta sano al 100%. Esto ha sido todo. Cualquier sugerencia es bienvenida. ๐Ÿ’ช Saludos!! ๐Ÿ˜˜

No problems thus far. Plants looking healthy and buds are really starting to fatten up now. One of the Dirty Kush Breath's is starting to purple up and they have a sweet berry smell. Sugar cane has a similar sweet smell but more of a citrus smell. Only half way thru flower.....can't wait to see how big these buds get!

๐Ÿ’œ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 13 Purple Haze by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B The Little Frosty Queen Is Not So Little Anymoreโ€ฆ โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And... GUESS WHO FINALLY DECIDED TO SHOW UP PROPERLY FOR THE CAMERA? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Our little Purple Haze Pheno B. And I have to say... I'm really, really happy we have the photographs this week. Because this girl deserves them. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ For a long time, her story has been about being the smaller sister. The slower sister. The girl taking the scenic route while Pheno A was basically driving with the accelerator welded to the floor. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿš€ But now? Something has changed. She's stacking. She's growing. She's getting denser. She's getting frostier. And when I look closely at those flowers... HOLY SHIT. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ This girl may not be big in the same way her sister is... but she's definitely BIG. Just in her own way. She's compact. She's dense. She's incredibly frosty. She's developing some beautiful flower structure. And the amount of frost is getting to the point where even the leaves are starting to curl around those flowers under the weight of everything happening there. That's the kind of problem I don't mind looking at. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ So this week... we finally get to give our Little Frosty Queen the proper spotlight she deserves. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 13 โ€“ THE LITTLE QUEEN IS STACKING Let's start with the biggest change. She's stacking. And she's stacking beautifully. ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ This is one of those moments where I have to admit that the girl I was calling "slow" is starting to make me eat my words. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's still slower than her sister. Absolutely. She's still smaller. Absolutely. But she's moving. And more importantly... she's building. The flowers are becoming more substantial. The structures are becoming denser. The individual flower sites are starting to look increasingly developed. And the frost? Well... the frost is becoming ridiculous. โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ This girl is starting to look like somebody accidentally turned the trichome machine up too high. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ And I'm absolutely loving it. 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’œ SMALL DOESN'T MEAN SMALL FLOWERS This is probably the biggest misconception I could have if I only described this girl by her size. Yes. She's not a giant. She's not standing there trying to compete with her sister's enormous architecture. She's more compact. More controlled. More contained. But look at the flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's where the story changes. She's not small in the way that matters. She's small in overall plant size... but her flowers are becoming increasingly substantial. Dense. Structured. Frosty. Beautiful. So when I say: "She's not big..." I immediately have to follow it with: "...but she's big." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ Because she absolutely is. She's making herself noticed in a completely different way. Her sister dominates through size. Pheno B is starting to dominate through density and frost. And honestly? I love that contrast. 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 THE FROSTY QUEEN HAS ENTERED ANOTHER LEVEL This girl has always had frost. That isn't new. But this week? It's becoming difficult to ignore. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ The flowers are absolutely coated. And when you get closer with the camera, the details become ridiculous. The sugar leaves are carrying frost. The flowers are carrying frost. The little structures around the developing buds are catching the light. And suddenly... you understand why this girl earned the name: The Little Frosty Queen. ๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธ But there's something else I really noticed. Some of those leaves are beginning to curl around the flowers. And when you look closely at them... they're absolutely covered. It's almost like the plant is wrapping the flowers in a layer of frosty decoration. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ She's not just getting frosty. She's becoming a frost-covered little monster. And I absolutely love it. 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 DENSE BUDS โ€“ THAT'S WHAT I'M SEEING NOW Another thing that immediately catches my attention is the density. The flowers aren't just developing outward. They're starting to look increasingly compact. Dense. Packed. Substantial. And that's really interesting because earlier in the diary, so much of her story was about waiting. Waiting for her to move. Waiting for her to catch up. Waiting for her to show us more. Well... I think she's finally decided: "Okay, okay, I'm ready." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ And now she's showing us. The structure is there. The flowers are developing. The stacking is happening. And the density is becoming much more obvious. That's the progression I wanted to see. Not necessarily a huge increase in plant size... but a clear increase in what she's building. And that's exactly what we're getting. 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 TWO SISTERS ARE STILL COMPLETELY DIFFERENT This comparison is getting more interesting every week. Purple Haze Pheno A: ๐Ÿ’œ Big ๐Ÿ’œ Tall ๐Ÿ’œ Massive flower structures ๐Ÿ’œ Extremely noticeable ๐Ÿ’œ Fast-moving Purple Haze Pheno B: ๐Ÿ’œ More compact ๐Ÿ’œ Smaller overall ๐Ÿ’œ Dense flowers ๐Ÿ’œ Extremely frosty ๐Ÿ’œ Slower, but catching up in her own way Same genetic family. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutritional foundation. And yet... look at them. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ They're telling two completely different stories. And this is exactly why I love having both phenotypes in the same room. If I only had Pheno B, I might simply say: "That's Purple Haze." But because I have Pheno A beside her... I can see just how differently two phenotypes can express themselves. One became the Big Mama. The other became the Little Frosty Queen. And honestly? Both are fucking beautiful. 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 THE SLOWER GIRL โ€“ BUT NOW SHE'S MOVING I'm not going to rewrite history. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's still one of the slower girls in the room. She's still behind her sister. And she's definitely taken her sweet time getting here. But... she's moving. That's the important part. She's not stalled. She's not sitting there waiting for something magical to happen. She's actively developing. She's stacking. She's building. She's getting denser. She's getting frostier. And she's becoming more impressive every time I look at her. That's progress. And I don't need her to suddenly become the fastest plant in the room. I just need her to keep being herself. And right now? She's doing a damn good job of that. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ 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 YES โ€“ WE HAVE PHOTOS! And yes... WE HAVE PHOTOS. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’œ After the photographic crimes of previous weeks, I am extremely happy to report that the Little Frosty Queen has officially reclaimed her portrait privileges. No missing folders. No mysterious camera-roll disappearance. No "Where's Purple Haze B?" She's here. She's photographed. She's documented. And honestly... I'm glad. Because this week, there is actually a lot to see. The close-ups show the frost. The wider photographs show her structure. The flower shots show the stacking. And together they tell a much better story than a general room photograph ever could. This girl deserved her own gallery. And now she has one. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ 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 THE CAMERA IS STARTING TO HAVE A PROBLEM I think the camera might actually be struggling with this girl. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Because every time I get closer... there's more frost. You start with: "Nice flower." Then: "Oh, that's frosty." Then: "Okay... that's VERY frosty." Then: "Why are the leaves covered in this much frost?" ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ And that's exactly what I love about macro photography. The naked eye gives you the overall impression. The camera gives you the details. And this girl has details. Lots of them. 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 SAME PHOTONS โ€“ DIFFERENT RESULT The environment hasn't been specially changed for her. She's still part of the same upgraded 8ร—8 lighting environment. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain in place. We're controlling their output rather than simply running everything at maximum. Approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ ~59% power from the plug With approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And once again... the photons are the same. The response isn't. That's the fascinating part. Pheno A takes those conditions and builds a huge plant with enormous flowers. Pheno B takes those same conditions and gives us a more compact structure with increasingly dense and extremely frosty flowers. Same artificial sun. Different interpretation. Different genetics. Different expression. That's the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’œโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ 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 THE ARTIFICIAL SUN KEEPS FLYING The Future of Grow lighting upgrade continues to be one of the most interesting parts of this run. We have more available lighting capability than we had before. But we're not just throwing everything at maximum power. We're controlling it. We're measuring. We're observing. We're finding the operating point that makes sense for the room. And around 59% power from the plug, we're getting approximately 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. That's a serious amount of artificial sunlight. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ And our Little Frosty Queen is sitting underneath it... turning those photons into some seriously beautiful flowers. A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for giving us the opportunity to test the additional Black Series 600W fixtures in a real flowering environment. It's been fascinating watching twelve different plants respond to the same expanded lighting environment. 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”ฌ SAME ROOM โ€“ DIFFERENT ANSWERS This remains the heart of everything we're doing here. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. Same general lighting strategy. Same irrigation. Same nutritional foundation. Same grower. And twelve different stories. Purple Haze Pheno B is giving us another beautiful answer. She's telling us: "I may not be the biggest..." ๐Ÿ˜‚ "...but look closer." And when you do? There it is. The frost. The density. The stacking. The structure. The personality. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ That's what makes phenotype work so interesting. Sometimes the most interesting differences aren't obvious from across the room. You have to get closer. 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€“ STILL SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT The room continues under the current flowering nutritional programme, with the nutritional strategy being adjusted progressively as we move deeper into the cycle. The current foundation remains around: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom ๐ŸŒฑ Power Buds ๐ŸŒฑ Green Sensation ๐ŸŒฑ Sugar Royal with the room operating around: โš—๏ธ pH ~6.0 โšก EC ~2.1 mS/cm And again, the important thing is not simply the numbers. It's the response. And Pheno B is responding beautifully. She's developing. She's stacking. She's getting denser. She's getting frostier. And she's showing us that her slower pace doesn't mean she's not capable of producing some seriously impressive flowers. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 13 โ€“ ROOM CONDITIONS The general 8ร—8 environment remains stable around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.0 โšก EC: ~2.1 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size: 15 L โ˜€๏ธ Upper canopy: ~1,500 PPFD ๐Ÿ”Œ Future of Grow output: ~59% Same room. Same conditions. Same general strategy. And yet... our little Purple Haze Pheno B continues to show us her own interpretation. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธ 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 THE PLANT IS DOING THE WORK And just like with her sister... I'm not doing much physically to her. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There's no reason to. She's already established. She's already structured. She's already flowering. And now she's building. So why would I constantly reach into her canopy and start changing things just for the sake of doing something? I'm not interested in manufacturing work. My job is to observe. Look at the flowers. Look at the foliage. Watch the environment. Monitor the irrigation. Watch the nutrition. Take photographs. And if something actually requires attention... then we respond. Otherwise? Let her grow. And she's doing exactly that. 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 FROST ON FROST ON FROST I really want to come back to the frost because... WOW. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ This girl is becoming ridiculously frosty. The leaves around the flowers are covered. The flowers themselves are becoming increasingly frosted. And the combination of dense flower structure and heavy resin expression is giving her a really unique appearance. She's not trying to compete with her sister's size. She doesn't need to. She has another weapon. Frost. Lots and lots of frost. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's basically saying: "Fine, you can have the biggest flowers. I'll take all the glitter." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโœจ And honestly? Fair deal. 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 STACKING โ€“ FINALLY SHOWING HER HAND This is another part of the story that I'm really enjoying. The stacking is becoming obvious now. The individual flowering sites are becoming more connected visually. The structures are gaining weight. The flowers are becoming more substantial. And suddenly that little plant we were waiting on... doesn't look quite so little anymore. She's still compact. But compact doesn't mean insignificant. Quite the opposite. She's using the structure she has very efficiently. And that's something I really like about her. She doesn't need to occupy half the tent. She just needs to make the space she has count. And she's doing exactly 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‘‘ THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN IS GETTING HER CROWN BACK After all the delays... all the slow weeks... all the: "Come on, girl..." ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's finally giving us the answer we were waiting for. She's stacking. She's developing. She's frosting. She's becoming dense. And she's becoming increasingly beautiful. So yes... the crown stays. ๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ Little Frosty Queen. You earned it. 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”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? Honestly? I'm curious. Very curious. Because this is the point where I stop wondering: "Will she develop?" and start wondering: "How far is she going to take this?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ How much more density will those flowers develop? How much more frost will she produce? How will the orange and mature colours evolve? How much more will the flower structures fill out? And what will this compact little monster look like when she finally reaches the end of her journey? I have no idea. And I love that. Because we're not writing the ending in advance. We're watching her write it. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. 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€“ SHE'S SMALL, BUT SHE'S BIG Week 13. And our Purple Haze Pheno B has officially entered a new chapter. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's still smaller than her sister. She's still slower than her sister. But... she's stacking. She's developing. She's getting dense. She's getting frosty. And she's becoming increasingly difficult to describe as "small." ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's not a giant plant. But she's a big girl in all the ways that matter. Her flowers are getting substantial. Her structure is becoming increasingly impressive. Her frost is absolutely ridiculous. And those leaves curling around the flowers while covered in resin? That's just beautiful. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ She has her own way of doing things. And after all the delays... all the slow weeks... all the moments where we wondered when she was going to really show us what she had... I think she's finally answering. And her answer is: "Relax. I was getting there." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ Fair enough, girl. You take all the time you need. Because what you're showing us now? I'm liking it. A lot. So keep stacking. Keep building. Keep frosting. Keep doing whatever the hell Purple Haze Pheno B wants to do. And keep shining under that artificial sun. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘โ˜€๏ธ We'll keep watching. We'll keep photographing. We'll keep learning. And we'll let this beautiful little monster show us 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™ THANK YOU As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document these individual journeys and share what we're learning along the way. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple Haze genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore two such different expressions from the same genetic family. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey with the growing media and nutrition. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup in the 8ร—8. More capability. More control. More photons. And twelve different plants showing us twelve different responses. Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper areas of the canopy and allowing us to explore this garden as the three-dimensional environment it really is. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And yes... this week we finally have the photographs of our Little Frosty Queen again. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’œ And honestly? I'm glad we do. Because she deserves to be seen. She's been the smaller sister. The slower sister. The shy girl. The one who took the scenic route. But now? She's stacking. She's building. She's dense. She's frosty as fuck. And she's becoming one of the most visually interesting girls in the room. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Purple Haze Pheno B is writing hers slowly... but she's writing it beautifully. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep those photons flying. Let's keep the camera ready. And let's see just how far this Little Frosty Queen decides to take those flowers. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Žโ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Happy growing, take care everyone... and I'll see you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. Where one Purple Haze sister is building enormous flowers... and the other? She's quietly building her own little frosty empire. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ See you next week! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š

Day 15: Plants looking healthy as can be! I didn't make a rack for the lights but I got em in. Looks jankie, but I think its gonna work. ๐Ÿ™ Day 16: Trying to work out kinks in my grow. Since I put the other 2 lights in, I'm now battling the heat and humidity. Switch the fans around. Got the cold air coming in down low. Will feed them in the morning. Day 17: The girls were showing signs of being thirsty this morning for sure! They received their first drain to waste watering. They will be getting some additional nutes on the next feeding (AN B-52, AN Sensizyme, AN CalMag Extra). Day 18: Looking amazing today! I tried my hand at a little LST. Wish the girls luck.!! ๐Ÿ™ Tomorrow is the official 2 week mark from breaking ground. So, not sure. I've got the humidity finally dialed in at around 50-55% and the temp around 78ยฐ. Also gave them another drink as they were already dry about 1.5" down?? Day 19: This is the official 2 week mark. I think I stressed the girls pretty good yesterday, but they look to be recovered today. Should start seeing good growth in the day to follow. Will just be tucking a leaf here and there for a bit. I will being doing a straight water feed next with Great White. Day 20: Nothing new to report other than found 2 leaves that had some yellow mottling. I added Sensizyme, Recharge, and Great White to this feeding. Did not do drain to waste. Just watered the outside perimeter. PPM was 260 at 5.8 ph. Day 21: NO MORE NUTES for these girls! Tips on a couple of em are turning yellow!!! Stupid me. Over watering and giving too many nutes.
