Hello fellow growers, Shy beginning for the Double Grape and nothing much to report. It's growing slowly but surely. I might have put my lights a bit too high at first because the seedling got very leggy. I lowered it, approximately 60cm away (23inches) and increased the brightness, from 25 to 50%. I gave it its very first HESI feeding, see details above. Please don't hesitate to check my Instagram page. I'm new there, it would be nice to connect with other growers! @harukisan_grower_cz/ See you next week 😎

Day 64, 12.06.2024 Today marks the start of week 10. I just saw that some of the leafs of Erika I are clawing upwards. I double checked the light distance to the canope which seems to be fine at around 30cm. I watered yesterday. As over watering might be the culprit as well I will watch closely wether it gets better during the next 24h. However, as we are approaching the finishing line I will not put too much effort in this issue. Day 65, 13.06.2024 Another round of drinks is about to be served. As Erika I is tacoing (edges of the leafs are facing towards the light) I went into analysis: It could be a) lights: after checking the distance again I an rule that out. Also the other plant does not show any clawing symptoms. b) underwatering: I gave 500ml extra water yesterday in the morning in hopes of recovery by afternoon. But no sign of relaxation so I ruled out that as well. c) overwatering: hard to believe as I only water 15% of the pot volume every other day and there is no drain d) over fertilization: Thats a point - I gave both plants the exact same amount of nutrition during grow. I think this plant might have had enough for a while. Because of d) I decided to not give Erika I any fertilizers today (she also did not show signs of low nutrition in the past). However, I will water both and keep an eye on them. No reason for panic though I guess. Also: Being on the final lap towards harvest I recognized quite a lot of the pistils are getting orange. I would say currently over all buds around 50-60% of the pistils are orange. I will wait until ~90% of them are orange and then take a look at the trichomes, where I aim for 80/20 ratio (cloudy to amber). Day 66, 14.06.2024 No action today. Day 67, 15.06.2024 Today I will water and feed again - providing 4/4/4 Grow/Bloom/TopMax + 1,2ml CalMag to Erika II. For Erika I I am still waiting for the leafs to un-taco - but until now there is no sign of it. This is the last official week with nutrients anyway so maybe Erika I already had her last meal, but without realizing 😂 Tacoing did not went away. Didn't really change at all actually. So they both get water & nutes. Next time I might skip nutes on Erika I. Amount of water: ~600ml each Day 68, 16.06.2024 No action on the plants today. Revised my timing and plans: - BioBizz nutrient schedule is made for roughly 10 weeks of flowering with flushing instructions on the second to last week and harvest on the last week - assuming the Erikas started flowering in their 3rd week that leaves me with facing the 8th flowering week up (which is also the last week they should get nutrition) right ahead - Decision: will give them 3 times nutrients over the next 1 week. Then I will stop giving them nutrients and start flushing every other day (water then until water comes out below the pots). - I assume/hope I will flush for at least one week until it is time for harvest This period of the grow is unexpectedly exciting! I do not have any experience from other grows but until now I think it went quite good. There were no pests, no big time nutrient deficiencies, etc. and the buds look big and firm (at least from what I can tell anyway). Day 69, 17.06.2024 - A round of drinks to the ladies: The usual 4/4/4 Grow/Bloom/TopMax in 600ml of water each. Will NOT skip nutes on Erika I. - Humidity is starting to pose a problem again: During night time the humidity does not go below 68% for 6 hours. I surely hope this is not a problem - but I do not have any other choice: there is high humidity currently outside (lots of rain & warm weather). I will hope for the best I guess. - removed 3 more leafs Day 70, 18.06.2024 No action today but to experience high humidity (~69%) without being able to do something about that 😢 This concludes week 10. The breeder states this strain is ready for harvest after 11 weeks. Well.. I guess I am about to find out.

Going well. Found short one has twisted root.

Well they definitely made progress in the flowering dept over the weekend! I came back home to find a nice amount of bud sites and pistil growth all around. Bubba ya gotten so big it can’t fit under my lights in the tent with fan & filter, so it’s now been moved to the other tent. Kind of fucks with my auto grow I had planned, but not much I can do

✌️🎃 Thank you for checking my cultivation. ✂️ Defoliation Time’s 🌷 Started flower stage

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 7 | A Lush Beauty Finding Her Rhythm Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Week after week, this room continues proving why phenotype hunting is one of the most fascinating parts of growing from seed. Every plant shares the exact same environment. The same lighting. The same nutrients. The same irrigation. The same care. Yet every diary tells a completely different story. Purple Haze Pheno A continues writing hers with elegance. She isn't the tallest plant in the room. She isn't the smallest either. Instead, she's quietly becoming one of the healthiest and most balanced ladies in the tent, and every time I unzip the door she's one of the first plants my eyes are drawn toward. 🌱 One Room. One Method. Twelve Different Personalities If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This entire project is built around the 12/12 From Seed growing technique. Rather than giving plants a long vegetative period before flowering, every seed was placed directly under a 12/12 light schedule from the very beginning. It's a technique that naturally keeps plants more compact while allowing them to reveal their genetic personality surprisingly early. Every phenotype in this room receives exactly the same opportunity. • The same Plagron nutrition • The same lighting from the Future of Grow Black Series LED • The same environmental control through TrolMaster • The same AutoPot irrigation • The same soil • The same temperatures • The same humidity There are no favourites. No special treatment. No individual feeding. The only thing that changes... ...is genetics. Purple Haze Pheno A is beginning to show exactly what hers have in store. 🌿 A Plant You Can't Help But Admire Some plants impress you with explosive growth. Others with incredible colours. Purple Haze Pheno A immediately catches my attention for another reason. She's simply beautiful. Her foliage is exactly what every grower hopes to see. Large fan leaves. Deep, healthy green. Excellent turgor. Strong petioles. Every leaf looks like it's working exactly as nature intended. Healthy leaves are far more than decoration. They're the plant's solar panels, capturing light energy and converting it into the carbohydrates that fuel root growth, flower development and eventually resin production. When foliage looks this healthy, it's usually a reflection of everything happening beneath the surface. Healthy roots. Balanced nutrition. Stable environmental conditions. She truly looks comfortable in her home. 🌸 Flowers Are Beginning to Tell the Story Week 7 is where flowering really starts becoming exciting. Every branch now carries clusters of bright white pistils emerging from small groups of swollen calyxes. Those little white hairs are the pistils—the female reproductive organs of the flower. In nature, their purpose is to catch airborne pollen. Inside a grow tent they simply become one of the best visual indicators that flowering is progressing exactly as it should. The calyxes surrounding those pistils are equally important. Each one is the tiny building block that eventually forms the finished buds we harvest. Right now they're still small. But over the coming weeks they'll begin stacking together, swelling and filling with resin until individual flowers merge into the long, beautiful colas Purple Haze genetics are famous for producing. Judging by how evenly the flowering sites are developing, she's laying an excellent foundation for the weeks ahead. 🍃 Letting the Plant Do the Work One thing I've continued to avoid is unnecessary defoliation. Throughout the early flowering period I've relied mostly on careful leaf tucking, allowing light to reach developing bud sites without removing perfectly healthy fan leaves. Every healthy leaf is producing energy. Removing them simply because they're large isn't always the best solution. Sometimes the best training is simply understanding when not to intervene. Purple Haze has responded beautifully to that approach. Her canopy remains open. Airflow is excellent. The branches have plenty of space. Nature has done most of the hard work for me. 💡 Lumiflora Under-Canopy Lighting One exciting addition to this grow is the use of Lumiflora under-canopy lighting. Traditional grow lights do an incredible job illuminating the tops of the plants, but lower flowering sites naturally receive much less usable light as the canopy becomes denser. Under-canopy lighting helps change that. By gently illuminating the lower sections of the plant, these fixtures help those secondary flowers receive additional energy without forcing aggressive defoliation. They're not a magic solution. They won't suddenly transform small buds into giant colas overnight. What they do offer is another opportunity for lower flowering sites to remain productive while helping create a more evenly developed plant from top to bottom. I'm genuinely excited to watch how they influence the remainder of this project. 💧 Feeding This Week As flowering progresses, nutrition continues supporting the increasing demand for flower production. This week's feeding schedule includes: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Careful pH adjustment using pH Plus and Lemon Kick Everything remains balanced and consistent across the entire room, allowing each phenotype to express itself naturally. 🌡️ A Stable Environment Builds Strong Plants Consistency continues to be one of the biggest successes of this project. Current environmental conditions remain remarkably stable: • Flower Week 7 • Height: 120 cm • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 22°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm When plants don't need to constantly adapt to environmental swings, they can dedicate their energy to what matters most—building flowers. 📷 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs showcase exactly why I'm enjoying this phenotype so much. The close-up shots reveal healthy clusters of fresh white pistils emerging from every flowering site, while the wider images highlight her beautifully balanced architecture and outstanding foliage. One of my favourite details is the colour. The rich green leaves frame the developing flowers perfectly, giving the entire plant an incredibly healthy appearance. She isn't trying to steal the spotlight. She's simply growing with confidence. And sometimes that's even more impressive. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect the stretch to begin slowing noticeably. More energy should shift toward flower production as the calyxes continue stacking and the buds gradually start gaining volume. I'm also very curious to observe the ongoing influence of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting as the canopy becomes denser. What I don't expect is explosive overnight change. Purple Haze doesn't feel like that kind of plant. She seems determined to improve steadily, week after week, building quality before quantity. If she continues along this path, I have a feeling she'll become one of the most rewarding plants to harvest—not because she grows the fastest, but because she grows with remarkable consistency. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every week reinforces why documenting each individual phenotype has become one of the most rewarding parts of this journey. Watching twelve unique plants express themselves under identical conditions continues to teach me something new every single week. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can learn, share knowledge, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the outstanding Purple Haze genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light driving this entire project. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment where every phenotype can perform at its best. ✨ Lumiflora for bringing an exciting new dimension to this grow with their under-canopy lighting, and giving these lower flowering sites every opportunity to shine. And finally... Thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions, and sharing this journey with me. Every week Purple Haze Pheno A becomes a little more impressive. Not because she's trying to stand out... But because she's quietly showing what healthy, well-balanced genetics are capable of. Growers Love! 💜🌿

Week 8

Very strong plant 💪 Bravo Inseedious👏

SUNDAY 5/5: Rearranged the gardens..have 17 plants in the 4 x 5 now...yowsa! MONDAY: Plucked some dead leaves and did a trichrome check on the furthest along. TUESDAY: I observed some white spots on a few leaves here and there throughout the garden, so I sprayed them today with Trifecta Crop Cure, a concoction of a bunch of natural plant oils. I already decreased the humidity in the room to 45% with my new 70L dehumidifier, so I think they'll be fine. I'll spray them again tomorrow and the next day, then I'll have to hope that did the trick, because several plants are already in the harvest window.

Day 57 - Starting week 9 and although she got 2 gallons of water yesterday, she’ll be ready for more tomorrow, she’s drinking like a fish right now. Other that that, I did a light defoliation today and will give her a day or two then do a little more. I wanna get some of these giant fan leaves off and out of the way. Day 58 - Gave the girl 2 gallons of water and nutes today. She’s going through two gallons every 48 hours now, really drinking a ton. Other than that, just retucked the leaves and letting her be. Day 59 - She’s stretching like crazy, almost 2 inches the last 24 hours. She’s gonna be a big girl for sure. Just got some updated pics today and tucked the leaves again. Day 60 - Had to give the girl 2 gallons of water and nutes today but was just about out of my usual Advanced Nutrients so had to swap to what I had, Technaora Kit so we’ll see how she does with it. I’ve heard good things so I’m sure she’ll be fine. She’s getting big and starting to get cramped in the tent but not much I can do right now, just trying to get her to grow UP instead of out. Day 62 - This girl just isn’t stopping, she’s huge and only getting bigger each day. She’s just about ready for water so she’ll get two gallons of plain pH’d water tomorrow. Just did a little leaf tucking with her and fit her back into the tent. Day 63 - Ending week 9 today with 2 gallons of plain pH’d water. She’s starting to really develop buds and she’s smelling very sweet. Other than that, just got some updated pictures and tucked the leaves.

May 31st - Day 104 : I had to take two babies out because of the lack of space in the tent. Didn’t realize they would grow that much.. So I planted them outside and will let them do their thing as I didn’t have the heart to kill them. But besides that, thriving.

Welcome to week 2 of flower! They are all developing quite well. #1 is a little bit over watered I think and quite hard to LST since nodes are stacked up very close together. #2 is starting to get some yellow tips on top. I think/hope it's just a bit of light stress, since she is the tallest and was always a bit closer to the lights than the other two. #3 is growing very well, will get some LST today as well but due to the topping, she is a bit behind the others and just starting to produce white pistols, so for #3 , it's basically start week 1 of flower, not week 2 but it is what it is. Because of the light stress I didn't raise up the light intensity this week. Still at 35% of the Sanlight (~24DLI). Nothing else to say right now. I hope the yellow tips of #2 won't get worse, that #1 will push a bit harder and #3 just needs to stack up those pistols

Just that color. Wow! It is so nice. I love it, My personal favorite 😍. Looks happy :) so I am happy.

The plant is growing strong. I have to change the wires in order to follow the plant growing. Seems quite hard because there is no soil to attach hooks. So i am thinking to build something that might work better for main lining on hydroponics.

All plants are doing great, we did decide to flush and PH runoff, everything looks good..The Gorilla are a lighter shade than the rest (a little hard to see under the lights) after some reading we learned this is a genetic trait and our attempts to get them a shade darker has resulted in a few burnt tips so we've backed off on the addition nitrogen and are now sticking to out typical flower feeding schedules. These buds are insanely frosty with 2-3 more weeks to go, they look almost furry to the touch.. i'm already convinced this Seedsman Peyote crosses are going to make some of the best tincture we've had in a while! We'll probably cut all nutrients at the end of this week and let them finish on what's already present in the media.. trichomes are roughly 70% clear (30% cloudy) atm and we'll check again early next week! Thanks as always for dropping in and happy harvests everyone!! 💡🌱😽💨 PS: I included a pic of our cross (Grower's Choice Green Crack and ILGM Big Bud), It seems to have picked up some of the best traits of the 2 strains.. frostiness of the kush with a dense indica type bud structure 🌱... we started 20 more seeds this week to share with local Growmies! ❤️🌱 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

Day 100 - All ladies looking good at this point in the grow. Noemi's pistil hairs have mostly all curled up and turned amber in color. Also her trichomes are starting to appear amber in color. Will flush her pot with about 5 gallons of pH'd water soon. Natalia's pistils are about half curled up/amber and half white. Her buds still appear to be packing on trichomes and weight.
