So being my 1st hydro/RDWC grow and it’s been ages since I’ve had photoperiods I flipped to flower a little on the early side to be safe. With each grow the more I learn the more I’ll push but, for now I’m playing it safe. The Growbuds trellis nets helped out a lot being my 1st time using! Gotta say I’m loving them.

Hot damn this is a pretty plant. Enormous fan leaves, tight nodes, and LOTS of em. This plant continues to impress, however, some of her daughters are blowing past her in height, surprisingly. Room is on point, mother is happy and healthy. 55 days or so till harvest:)

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 5 | The Classic Haze Begins to Stretch Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Every phenotype in this project has been raised under exactly the same conditions, yet every week they continue reminding me just how unique genetics truly are. Today’s spotlight belongs to Purple Haze – Pheno A, one of the tallest and most vigorous ladies in the room. She’s entering her first week of flowering, and while the stretch has only just begun, she’s already showing all the elegance and energy that make Haze genetics so iconic. ⸻ 🌱 The Journey So Far For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Rather than allowing a traditional vegetative period, every seed was placed directly under a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark schedule from germination. The goal is simple: To let every phenotype express its natural growth habit while comparing different genetics under identical conditions. Every plant shares: • The same environment • The same lighting • The same nutrients • The same climate • The same daily care The only real variable is genetics. Watching each plant respond differently despite receiving the exact same treatment is one of the most fascinating parts of this entire adventure. Purple Haze Pheno A is proving that beautifully. ⸻ 🌿 A Lady That Loves to Reach Standing at approximately 73 cm, she’s already among the tallest plants in the room. From the very beginning she showed a strong desire to grow vertically, but she’s doing so with remarkable balance. Long internodes. Healthy side branching. Excellent apical growth. Instead of producing a dense, squat structure, she’s developing the graceful architecture so often associated with classic Haze genetics. She has presence. She naturally draws your attention the moment you open the tent. ⸻ 🍃 Leaf Tucking Instead of Heavy Defoliation One of the techniques used throughout this week has been leaf tucking. Rather than removing healthy fan leaves, I’ve simply repositioned them beneath developing branches to expose lower growth sites to more light. It’s a gentle approach that allows the plant to keep all of her valuable solar panels while improving airflow and encouraging a more even canopy. Looking at her structure now, it’s already paying off. Multiple flowering sites are receiving direct light, and the entire plant has opened up beautifully without unnecessary stress. Sometimes the simplest techniques are the most effective. ⸻ 🌸 The First Signs of Flower Although we’re only considering this Week 1 of Flower, there’s no doubt she’s making the transition. Fresh pistils are appearing across the canopy. The tops are beginning to stack. New growth has taken on that unmistakable flowering appearance, with each growing tip preparing to become its own future cola. The real stretch is only beginning, and knowing Purple Haze genetics, she’s probably not finished reaching for the lights just yet. ⸻ 💧 Feeding for the Transition As flowering begins, nutrition has shifted to support the plant through this important stage while maintaining healthy, vigorous growth. Current feeding includes: • Terra Grow • Terra Bloom • Power Buds • pH adjustment for optimal nutrient uptake Rather than making sudden changes, the transition into bloom is gradual, allowing the plant to adapt smoothly while continuing to build both roots and flowers. So far, she’s responding exactly as hoped. ⸻ 🌡️ Stable Environment, Strong Growth Like every plant in this project, Purple Haze benefits from carefully maintained environmental conditions. Current grow room conditions include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Solution temperature: 21.6°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Maintaining consistent environmental parameters ensures every phenotype is evaluated fairly, allowing the genetics themselves to tell the story. ⸻ 📷 This Week’s Gallery This week’s photographs capture a plant that seems to gain confidence every single day. The studio portraits highlight her graceful structure, while the close-up shots reveal healthy new flowering sites emerging across the canopy. Several images focus on the leaf tucking performed throughout the week, showing how opening the canopy has allowed light to penetrate deeper into the plant. The overhead views reveal excellent symmetry, and the room updates continue documenting the environment these ladies are growing in. It’s always rewarding to compare these images week after week and watch the transformation unfold. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should be incredibly exciting for this phenotype. I expect the stretch to continue for a little while longer before she begins putting all of her energy into flower production. As the canopy fills in and the bud sites begin stacking, it’ll be fascinating to see whether she develops the long, elegant colas often associated with Purple Haze genetics. She’s already one of the standout plants in the room for her structure alone. Now the flowers get their chance to tell the rest of the story. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every week these diaries become a little more exciting, and sharing every success, lesson, and surprise with this incredible community makes the experience even more rewarding. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from all over the world can learn from one another and celebrate the journey together. Zamnesia for the outstanding genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for providing the nutrition supporting these plants from seed to harvest. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light powering this entire grow. 🌿 TrolMaster for maintaining a stable environment and helping every phenotype perform at its very best. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions, and sharing this journey with me. Every phenotype deserves its own spotlight, and Purple Haze Pheno A is already proving she’s more than worthy of hers. Growers Love and the adventure has only just begun. 💜🌿

VIDEO ADDED: DEC 29 2020! -- PHOTOS ADDED: DEC 27 2020! MORE COMING VIDEO?! -- Smell is starting to come down from the fresh cut, definitely has a great look to the bud as the cure goes on, have two 8 gram boveda packs in there after a few days with one that was WAY too big for it 😂 Brought down my Chocolate Mint OG in my other diary right now as well, way more weight to that last plant... probably more than both these Chem Bombs combined, great genetics over @Humboldt_seed_organization 😎 -- PHOTOS ADDED: DEC 23 2020! MORE COMING! -- DEC 19 2020 - Harvest Day Chem-Bomb Auto .. DONE. Step-Brothers ... CHOPPED. Buds.. TRIMMED. Giving them my first bud wash tomorrow! Already juiced the lemon, have the spring water, and off-brand baking soda because COVID has every place sold out of Arm&Hammer 😂 Dale: 50 Grams Wet Buds/Stem 15 Grams Trim/Larf = Total 65 Grams Wet Brennan: 55 Grams Wet Buds/Stem 12 Grams Trim/Larf = 67 Grams Wet Total Wet: 132 Grams (Buds/Stems/Trim) Looks like I'm getting in and around the "1 Ounce per Auto Plant" range with my basic soil/hand feed system. The CMOG from my other diary looks like it will be my first 1OZ plant when it dries. With my past experience of wet buds drying out to about half of bud weight, I'm hoping that they both come in JUST under an Oz a piece. Going to update with more pictures, going to take a couple days to dry and get a good weight and hopefully get somewhere close to the 64 grams of the ONLY sized Boveda packs I have right now 😇 -- UPDATE - Dec 20 2020 - Cure Day 😵😭 i once again got my hopes up by pulling the classic male "over-exaggerating" and all the wet weight came from the main stems. After 3 days or so of drying both plants together came in just under an ounce. The smell is great and I have no doubt it's quality bud but I need to up my density game somehow for sure. New nutrients or better set up, still very low-end with all my equipment as I've just slowly been finding affordable pieces to add as I go. Maybe more light? Feel free to hit me up below with ideas short of switching to a Hydro set up 😹 I can hardly afford my bags of soil so I definitely couldnt keep up with the financial costs of a Hydro set up yet 😓 Have had a few bowls of the dried/uncured bud and it's very nice, clean, and crazy good for being uncured at this point. Just the classic flower taste from the chlorophyll but the pineapple/tropical taste is coming through nice already. Final Stats: 26g Dried Bud 26g Trim -- Thanks for checking in! Will be updating soon and posting more pictures! Throw down a like and/or follow so I can return the favour 🙌 -- IG: @GlazedGrow (DM and let me know you're from Grow Diaries so i can follow back!)

Week 3. Botanicare is working wonders. I went ahead and topped at the third node. And started giving plants full grow nutes. The Banana Biscotti looks so good I might clone it. The Ice Dream Cake hasn’t bounced all the way back yet.

Still a ways to go for this lass but she's lookin nice and frosty. Wish I'd had more opportunity (and inclination) to train as she's quite leafy and the lower bud sites are getting crowded out a bit. She'll have the tent to herself for a while as her sister doesn't have long to go.

harvested two buds found 10 seeds they are very potent regardless the buds were about 8 inches each with 5 seeds could have been alot worse if i didnt see they turned hermi and worked really hard to find and destroy all male flowers i gave it hell tho.Wish i knew how they stressed to turn cloning is the most stress they got and some topping early on other than that they were well taken care of. will be harvesting by next week for sure tricombs are milky and there is alot of amber ones also they are ready and ripe

4/11 I am no longer skeptical. F1 technology is for real! Other than topping one, they’ve grown naturally. Grows so fast, has started to show signs of maturing. Harvest expected at 10 weeks after germination, on 4/22. Looking like about 1+ Oz dry per plant when done. Have selected OG Kush from RQS for next round. 😎

Put them in a greenhouse and moved them to get better sun but I know I shocked them moving them and I broke a support in my container but I rigged it up

Well as you can see I'm playing with these ladies a lot now ..They are both on week 7 the smaller CBD was just put into a bigger pot and will be stretched out a bit then left to reach right up for the sky not looking for big gains with this one but we shall see.. The blue cheese she is my baby and living the good life .. she has been trained nicely and will be left to go straight up as well as with in reason I do have neighbours .. The team at Dinafem were my first plants to ever run and I've been running them ever since love the genetics so much

Hola a todos!!!.. en esta semana solo regue con flora booster de namaste nutrientes, la planta empieza a soltar su aroma cada vez más. Yo pienso que le debe faltar para el corte unas 4 semanas aproximadamente. El riego con flora booster lo hice en 5 litros (3ml x litro). He notado que aun tiene trips asique la próxima semana volveré a realizar un riego foliar con aceite de neem.
