7/7 Grow diaries isnt letting me post a harvest week. So heres a little teaser. 65 grams dry. 2ounces 9. kaprikorns website says this is a low yielding plant. i cannot fathom what their high yeilding plants will do. this cultivar was only 12 inches from the soil line. i trained her fairly intensely but it was worth it. not much larf and the main nugs are nice and uniform. if you didnt train this plant, i can see how it wouldnt really yield much.

๐Ÿ’œ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 Purple Haze by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno A The Girl Who Keeps Hitting Fast-Forward ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And... I honestly don't know how many more times I can say this girl is moving fast. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ Because every single week... she proves me wrong again. Purple Haze Pheno A. Still shining. Still building. Still evolving. Still moving at a ridiculous pace. And those flowers? Well... "Big" doesn't really seem to cover it anymore. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Enormous. Ginormous. Gigantic. Massive. Pick your word. She's got the flowers to justify pretty much all of them. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ And here's the funny part... SHE'S STILL FAR FROM FINISHING. ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's probably the most impressive part of this whole story. We're looking at flowers that are already becoming seriously substantial, we're seeing obvious week-to-week evolution, we're watching the structure change in front of our eyes... and yet... there is still plenty of road ahead. So once again... we're not calling her finished. We're not calling her close. We're not predicting the ending. We're simply documenting what she's doing right now. And right now? She's absolutely flying. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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”ฅ WEEK 12 โ€“ STILL ON FIRE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ If last week was: "This girl is really on fire." Then this week is: "Okay... somebody check the fire extinguisher." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿš’ Purple Haze Pheno A keeps moving. And what's particularly noticeable isn't just the size of the flowers. It's the speed of the evolution. Every week... I can look at the previous photographs and immediately see something different. The flowers are bigger. The structures are more developed. The stacking is more obvious. The resin is becoming more visible. The plant is becoming increasingly impressive. And that change isn't subtle anymore. It's becoming notorious. You can actually see it from one weekly update to the next. That's one of the things I love most about keeping these individual diaries. Memory can play tricks on you. You walk into the room every day. You see the same plants. And because you're looking at them constantly, gradual change can become difficult to appreciate. Then you put last week's photographs next to this week's... and suddenly: "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's Purple Haze Pheno A. She's evolving. Fast. 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 BUDS ARE GETTING RIDICULOUS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Let's just talk about the obvious part. The flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ They're getting BIG. And I mean... really big. Looking at the photographs this week, the flowering structures are becoming increasingly substantial throughout the plant. They're no longer simply developing little clusters. They're becoming serious flowers. The branches are carrying increasingly impressive structures. The stacking is becoming more pronounced. And the overall appearance is starting to change dramatically. The plant is beginning to look less like: "I am building flowers." and more like: "Look what I've already built." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ But again... she's not done. That's what makes this so fascinating. We're looking at enormous flowers... while still knowing there is more development to come. So I'm not trying to imagine the final result. I'm simply enjoying the chapter we're in. And this chapter? It's a good one. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿš€ FASTER. AND FASTER. AND FASTER. 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 know I've used the word "fast" a lot in this diary. But... what else am I supposed to call it? ๐Ÿ˜‚ She keeps moving faster. Or at least, the visible evolution from one week to the next keeps becoming more obvious. The difference between photographs is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Week after week: ๐ŸŒธ More flower development. ๐Ÿ’Ž More visible resin. ๐ŸŒฟ More substantial structures. ๐Ÿ”ฅ More stacking. ๐Ÿ’œ More personality. It's almost like watching a time-lapse... except we're doing it one weekly update at a time. And that makes this phenotype incredibly satisfying to follow. Because you don't have to imagine the progression. You can actually see it. Photograph by photograph. Week by week. And Purple Haze Pheno A is giving us one hell of a visual timeline. 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 FROST IS FOLLOWING THE 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”€ Of course... the flowers aren't developing alone. The resin is continuing to become increasingly noticeable too. ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’Ž The more substantial the flowers become, the more obvious that frosty character becomes throughout the structures. And this is where the camera becomes such an important part of the diary. From across the room, you see big flowers. Get closer... and you start seeing the resin. Get closer again... and suddenly there's an entire microscopic landscape happening on the surface. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’Ž That's one of the reasons I never get tired of photographing these girls. The plant gives you one story with your eyes. The camera gives you another. And Purple Haze Pheno A is becoming particularly rewarding to photograph because there is simply more and more happening inside those 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”€ ๐Ÿ’œ SHE'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE HER NAME 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 something about this phenotype that has become increasingly recognizable. The structure. The flower formation. The colour. The way she stacks. The way she develops. The way she seems to accelerate from one week to the next. She's developing her own signature. And that's exactly what we want from an experiment like this. We're not looking for twelve identical plants. We're looking for individual expression. And Purple Haze Pheno A has certainly made her expression clear. She's the fast girl. The girl who doesn't seem particularly interested in waiting around. The girl who looks at the room and says: "Everybody ready?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ And then takes off. 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 SAME ROOM โ€“ DIFFERENT SPEED 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 once again... this is where the 8ร—8 Adventure becomes fascinating. Because nothing about her environment is being specially designed to make her behave this way. She's sharing the room. Same general environmental conditions. Same lighting philosophy. Same irrigation approach. Same nutritional foundation. Same 12/12 schedule. Same general care. And yet... look at her. She's moving differently. This is why I keep coming back to genetics. The environment provides the opportunity. The phenotype determines how that opportunity is expressed. And Purple Haze Pheno A is clearly making her own decisions. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ She's not waiting for anybody else. She's 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”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME PHOTONS โ€“ BIGGER RESPONSE 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 lighting environment also remains the upgraded setup we've been testing in the 8ร—8. We've added the two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures. Rather than running everything at maximum output, we've reduced the power to approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ ~59% from the plug And we're seeing approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to canopy height and position. And this is another part of the experiment I really enjoy. The room has more lighting capability than before. But we're controlling how much of that capability we're actually using. We're not chasing a number simply because we can. We're creating a powerful lighting environment and then managing it. And Purple Haze Pheno A? She's clearly putting those photons to work. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ 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 PHOTONS IN โ€“ FLOWERS OUT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Obviously, biology is much more complicated than saying: "More photons = bigger flowers." ๐Ÿ˜‚ But there is something beautiful about watching the invisible become visible. The lights provide photons. The leaves capture energy. The plant processes that energy. And the results become visible over time. Leaves. Branches. Flowers. Resin. Structure. Growth. We can't see the photons themselves. But we can see the consequences of the plant using that energy. And when you compare Purple Haze Pheno A from week to week... those consequences are becoming very obvious. She's building. She's developing. She's filling out. And she's doing it quickly. 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 STACKING IS BECOMING SERIOUS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ One of the biggest visual changes I'm seeing is the amount of structure developing within the flowers. The stacking is becoming more pronounced. Flower sites are becoming increasingly substantial. And the branches are starting to look like they're carrying much more than they were only a few weeks ago. This is where I really appreciate having those full-plant photographs. Because you can step back and see the architecture. Then you can move closer and see the flowers. Then closer again... and see the individual details. The whole plant tells one story. The individual flowers tell another. And together? They show us how quickly this girl is evolving. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’œ 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 THE WEEK-TO-WEEK DIFFERENCE IS GETTING NOTORIOUS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This deserves its own section because it's honestly one of the most satisfying things about this plant. Look at last week's photographs. Now look at this week's. ๐Ÿ˜‚ There it is. That difference. It's not something I have to invent with words. It's right there in the images. The flowers are becoming more substantial. The structure is changing. The plant looks fuller. The developing buds have more presence. The resin is increasingly obvious. And the whole girl simply looks further along. That's the beauty of a weekly diary. We don't have to rely on memory. We can document. Compare. Observe. And learn. Purple Haze Pheno A is giving us an excellent example of how quickly a phenotype can visibly change over a relatively short period. And we're lucky enough to have the photographs to prove it. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ 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“ SHE DOESN'T NEED TO BE THE TALLEST 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 around 120 cm, she's still not one of the giants of the room. And that's another thing I love about her. She doesn't need to be the tallest plant to make herself noticed. She's making the space count. Her flowers are doing the talking. Her structure is doing the talking. Her development is doing the talking. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ It's not about how many centimetres she has added. It's about what she's doing with the structure she already has. And right now... she's doing a lot. 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 LET HER DO 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 just like with the rest of the room... I'm not trying to manufacture work. She's healthy-looking. She's developing. She's building flowers. She's responding to the environment. So my job is becoming increasingly simple. Observe. Pay attention. Check the environment. Monitor irrigation. Monitor nutrition. Watch the plant. And if something actually needs attention... then we respond. Otherwise? Let her work. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ I don't need to constantly interfere just because she's moving quickly. In fact, the opposite. When a plant is doing beautifully... sometimes the smartest thing you can do is stay out of her way. She's got a job to do. And she's doing 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”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ SAME FOUNDATION, GRADUAL CHANGES 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 continues with the current nutritional programme, with the flowering nutrition being adjusted gradually as we move further into the later stages. Current room recipe remains approximately: 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 adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ ~6.02 โšก EC โ€“ ~2.14 mS/cm And the important thing for Purple Haze Pheno A is not simply what goes into the reservoir. It's how she responds. And she's responding beautifully. She's building. She's developing. She's progressing. And she's giving us absolutely no reason to start inventing problems where there aren't any. 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 12 โ€“ ROOM CONDITIONS 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 remains broadly 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: ~6.02 โšก EC: ~2.14 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h ? Pot size: 15 L Same room. Same general conditions. Same lighting upgrade. Same overall approach. And Purple Haze Pheno A keeps showing us her own answer. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ 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 THIS IS THE PART I LOVE ABOUT PHENOTYPES โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ If you look at this plant on her own... she's simply a beautiful Purple Haze. But put her beside the other eleven plants... and suddenly the story becomes much more interesting. You can see the differences. Different speed. Different flower formation. Different structure. Different timing. Different expression. And that's why I don't want to compare these girls as if they're supposed to reach identical milestones at identical times. The value is in the differences. Purple Haze Pheno A is showing us a particularly fast-moving expression. Passion Fruitz is showing us a much slower rhythm. Other girls sit somewhere in between. Same room. Different clocks. And that's exactly what makes this adventure so much fun. 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”ฅ STILL FAR FROM THE FINISH โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Now... I need to say this again because those flowers are getting ridiculous. ๐Ÿ˜‚ SHE IS STILL FAR FROM FINISHING. Yes. The buds are enormous. Yes. The stacking is impressive. Yes. The weekly evolution is obvious. Yes. She's moving faster and faster. But no... we are not suddenly at the finish line. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ There is still plenty of development ahead. The flowers can continue to change. The structures can continue to develop. The resin can continue to evolve. The plant can continue maturing. So I'm not looking at her thinking about an ending. I'm looking at her thinking: "How much more is this girl going to build?" And that's a much more exciting question. 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 KEEP THE CAMERA READY 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 point... I think the camera needs to stay permanently ready for her. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Because with the rate she's changing, I don't want to miss the little details. Every week is giving us another snapshot. Another moment. Another version of Purple Haze Pheno A. And when we eventually look back over the entire diary... I think this plant is going to be one of those where the transformation is particularly obvious. Because the weekly progression is already becoming so noticeable. The plant isn't just growing. She's visibly changing. And the photographs are capturing 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‘‘ THE FAST GIRL CLAIMS THE SPOTLIGHT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Some plants quietly develop. Some take their time. Some surprise you later. And then there is Purple Haze Pheno A... who apparently has somewhere to be. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ She's moving. She's building. She's stacking. She's getting bigger. She's getting frostier. And she's doing it week after week. So yes... the spotlight belongs to her again. Not because she's competing with anyone. Not because we're declaring her better than another phenotype. But because her particular story this week is impossible to ignore. She's changing rapidly. And she's beautiful while doing it. That's worth celebrating. 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 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 point, the questions are getting more interesting. How much more will the flowers develop? How much more substantial will the buds become? How will the resin expression continue to evolve? How will the plant change over the coming weeks? How long will this rapid visible progression continue? And perhaps most importantly... what is this girl going to look like when she finally decides she's done? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ I have no idea. And I'm perfectly happy keeping it that way. Because the fun is watching her answer those questions herself. No predictions. No forcing the story. Just documentation. 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 STILL ON FIRE 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 12. And Purple Haze Pheno A is still absolutely on fire. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ If anything... she's turned the heat up again. The flowers are enormous. Ginormous. Gigantic. Whatever word you want to use... they're getting seriously substantial. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ And yet... she's still far from finishing. That's what makes this so fascinating. We're watching a plant that is clearly progressing rapidly, while still having plenty of journey ahead. The difference from one week to the next is becoming notorious. You can see it. The flowers change. The stacking changes. The structure changes. The resin changes. The whole plant evolves. And that's exactly what I want from this diary. I don't want to guess what she'll become. I want to document it. I want to look back later and say: "Look at her here." Then: "Look at her here." Then: "WHAT THE HELL?!" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ That's Purple Haze Pheno A. Same room. Same photons. Same general environment. Same irrigation. Same nutritional foundation. Different genetics. Different expression. And one hell of a fast-moving girl. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ So let's give her the spotlight. Let's turn the lights up on the story. Let's keep the camera ready. Let's keep watching those enormous flowers evolve. And let's let this girl continue doing what she's clearly very good at: moving. Building. Stacking. Frosting. Evolving. And shining. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ She's not finished. She's not close to being finished. She's simply moving faster and faster toward whatever comes next. And I cannot wait to keep documenting 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™ 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”€ 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 this beautiful phenotype. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the room with the growing media and nutrition throughout the adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to test this expanded lighting setup in the 8ร—8. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ Thank you to Lumiflora for helping illuminate the deeper and lower areas of the canopy. And thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls evolve. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š This project continues to remind me why I love growing different phenotypes together. One room. One environment. One lighting strategy. One general approach. And completely different expressions. Purple Haze Pheno A is giving us one of the fastest-moving stories in the room. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ She's beautiful. She's developing incredibly quickly. Her flowers are becoming enormous. Her resin is increasing. Her structure is evolving. And every week... she gives us another reason to grab the camera. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ So let's let her shine. Let's give this girl the spotlight. Let's watch those gigantic flowers continue to evolve. Let's keep documenting every step. And let's see just how much more this fast-moving beauty has left to show us. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘ Growers Love, my friends. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Happy growing, everyone. And I'll see you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where some girls take the scenic route... some girls cruise... and Purple Haze Pheno A? She's apparently got the accelerator stuck to the floor. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ See you next week! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š

Hey everyone โ˜บ๏ธ. After 60 hours, the lady's case was already open :-). Today the seed was placed in soil :-). I only use the soil for cultivation because I have it left and it has to go slowly :-). When repotting, it comes in Canna Coco ๐Ÿ‘. I watered the soil with some Canna Rizotonic before the seeds got 1 cm under the soil :-). After that, the pot was placed under a hood in which I sprayed clay every day so that the humidity is between 80-90%. I do this for the first few days until the head looks out of the earth. From this point on, I open the hood at the upper opening bit by bit every few days so that you can slowly get used to 65% humidity before the hood comes down. It is also only poured when the roots are right, until then the earth is sprayed. Which training I will use I will decide spontaneously when the time comes :-). Until then, I wish you all a lot of fun with the update. Let it grow and stay healthy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ€ You can buy this Strain at : https://www.exoticseed.eu/ Type: Quick Sherbet โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Genetics: 75% Indica / 25% Sativa Sunset Sherbet X Black Lemon ๐Ÿ‘ Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W ๐Ÿ’ก Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’กโ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Soil : Canna Coco Professional + โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿผ๐ŸŒฑ Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Week 4 was awesome ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ ๐ŸŒฑ Growth phase is great and on schedule for an upcoming nice and big plant. Started the LST on day 25, gave her a big and nice stretch and she is loving it, filling up the whole space in the 8 gallon fabric pot already =) Roots are almost coming out from the bottom, she is loving the feeding recipe. My guess is that this lady will become a monster, what do you guys think? Any comments will be highly appreciatted ๐Ÿ˜œ

Pheno 1: strong natural tart cherries with a slight candy Pheno 2: loud cherry candy Pheno 3: cherry fun dip Pheno 4: cherries mashed with earthiness Pheno 5: the strongest cherry pheno Iโ€™ve ever smelt. Just loud cherries in your face. I kept pheno 3 and 5. I pressed both into rosin and the terps were insane it smelt like I worked a double at the marischino cherry factory. The terps on 3 were cherries on the inhale with a candy fun dip exhale (absolutely up my alley). Pheno 5 was the most in your face cherry Iโ€™ve ever tasted. It was straight cherries throughout the inhale exhale with a slight tart/candy on the back end. I have found my cherry phenos for my future business. Thank you for riding this journey with me. Harvest results on my YouTube channel link in my bio!

Itยดs here! Plants are now switched to 12/12 schedule to start flowering phase. Leaving the MH bulb for growing for this week before I will switch bulb to HPS for flowering. Keeping these flowering nutrients on the same level. Continue with little bit of LST and defoliation of unhealthy lower leaves. Also, Iยดm now trying to lower temperature a little bit. My goal is to maintain 24-25ยฐC during the day and 18-19ยฐC during the night. Iยดm curious if dropping temperature will lead to more purple buds. We will see.

Dรญky Hombremu za cennรฉ rady! ๐Ÿ™ A aลฅ to roste ๐Ÿ€ __________________________________________ Day 24 of Flower ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ This week everything is going well. The plants are currently on day 24 of flowering, and the stretch is basically over. Thanks to previous LST, defoliation, and lollipopping, the canopy is nice and even. Buds are forming on all tops and slowly starting to gain size. The first trichomes are appearing, the plants are becoming slightly sticky, and a sweet aroma is starting to develop. I did a light defoliation to improve light penetration and airflow. From now on, Iโ€™m trying to avoid unnecessary stress and just maintain the structure. Environment: โ€ข Day temp: ~26โ€“27 ยฐC โ€ข Night temp: ~20 ยฐC โ€ข Humidity: ~45% day / ~60โ€“65% night Night humidity is a bit on the edge, so Iโ€™m working on lowering it and improving airflow to prevent mold later in flower. Feeding: โ€ข Advanced Nutrients Connoisseur Bloom A+B (2.5 ml/L) โ€ข Big Bud (1 ml/L) โ€ข Bud Candy (1 ml/L) โ€ข CalMag (1 ml/L) Watering approximately every 6โ€“7 days based on pot weight. Plants look healthy, and the leaves are slightly โ€œpraying,โ€ which I take as a good sign. So far no major issues or nutrient burn. The next goal is to push bud growth over the next 1โ€“2 weeks and keep conditions stable. Based on new insights from the stream, I plan to stop using Big Bud and switch to Overdrive in the next phase, ideally around week 5โ€“6 of flowering, when buds are fully formed and starting to bulk up. Big thanks to Hombre for the valuable advice! ๐Ÿ™ Let it grow ๐Ÿ€

Great week! She grew 10in and responds well to the full dose of nutes. Cut back on the Gro and upped Bloom. Smell up 1100sq feet nicely. Sheโ€™s been under a 600w and will be put in a 5x5 soon with a 1000w LED.

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Have fun with the Update ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Harvest day 64 since time change to 12/12 hrs. Hi everyone ๐Ÿ˜. Today is the day . The lady was harvested. It smells extremely delicious and I can't wait to try it for the first time in a few weeks ๐Ÿ˜€. Immediately after harvesting, she was put into the drying tent. The tent is constantly 19-22 degrees and 63% humidity. After about 10 days, it is put into the glass for fermentation together with 62% boveda packs :-). Of course there will be a last update after fermentation :-). Until then, I wish you all the best. Stay healthy ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป.

Very excited for my first grow ever. My soil is the Biobizz-Light Mix in a 11L pot .I got so impatient that i even dug it out at some point to see the progress...i hope it won't have any consequences. The first days, i only sprayed the soil with some water to keep the soil moist. At Day 4 of germination i watered it for the first time with 250ml tap water at 6,5ph. I will run my light for 18 hours now at a distance of 60cm with full power. That will lead to round abot 215 ppfd and 12k lux for the final days of germination. At day 6 after germination two darker spots appeared on the first 2 leafs. I hope itโ€™s just because of some water drops on the leafs. Watered every 3 days with 350-500ml of 6,5ph tap water. 23.05.24: For my definition the vegetative stage starts today. I will turn the light up to 500 pphd Very excited what will happen next!

These are the replacement crew for the left hand side of my tent. They have been growing for around 1-2 weeks in 1 gal pots and then 1 month in the final 4gal. They are currently running on veg nutes for the first week or 2 of the flip, then they will join the other side with a 1000pm flower version of the Mega Crops. For veg I run part a/part b at a 1:1 For flower i run it at 2:1. Ill be slowly removing bud site growth that is closer to the bottom. Also will remove all the lower leaves around week 3 or 4,depending on foliage.
