🍃 Purple Haze Photo A — Week 4 | Preparing for Gravity-Fed Growth Every grow has one plant that quietly starts telling you a story before flowering even begins. Purple Haze A is becoming exactly that. Growing under the same Future of Grow LED, receiving the same PPFD, sharing the exact nutrient recipe, environmental conditions and care as every other plant inside the tent, she has decided to express herself in a completely different way. Instead of remaining compact, she has embraced her sativa heritage and is already showing the elegant structure Purple Haze is famous for. Longer internodes. Large healthy fan leaves. Fast vertical growth. Strong side branching. Exactly the characteristics we hoped to see. This diary is part of my ongoing 12/12 From Seed Challenge, documenting every step exactly as it happens. No shortcuts, no hidden techniques—just honest observations from a home grower enjoying the journey one day at a time. ⸻ 🌱 Week 4 Development This week was all about preparing for the next big milestone. Purple Haze continued building an exceptionally strong root system while producing vigorous new shoots across every node. The leaves are deep green, beautifully flat and reaching toward the light, showing excellent nutrient uptake and a very healthy metabolism. Stem thickness has increased noticeably, giving plenty of confidence that she’ll easily support future flower production. The spacing between branches also makes her an excellent candidate for training later, allowing light to penetrate naturally through the canopy. Sometimes you can already tell a plant has personality long before flowers appear. This one certainly does. ⸻ 🚿 Time for AutoPot This week also marks another exciting step. Purple Haze A will soon become one of the plants running on my AutoPot system. Since every plant in this project receives identical lighting, nutrients and environmental conditions, this creates a great opportunity to observe one important variable: Top watering versus gravity-fed irrigation. Rather than trying to prove one method is universally better, I simply enjoy comparing different growing styles under the same conditions and documenting the results honestly. That is one of the things I love most about this hobby. Every grow teaches something new. ⸻ 💧 What is an AutoPot? For anyone discovering these diaries for the first time, AutoPots are a completely passive irrigation system. There are: ❌ No pumps ❌ No electricity ❌ No timers Instead, everything works using gravity. A nutrient reservoir sits slightly higher than the pots, allowing the solution to flow naturally through the tubing. Inside each tray sits the heart of the system: The AquaValve The AquaValve is an ingenious little mechanical valve. When the tray becomes empty, the valve opens and allows fresh nutrient solution to flow in. Once the tray reaches the correct water level, the valve automatically closes. The plant then drinks exactly what it wants. Only after the tray is empty again does the cycle repeat. Because the substrate experiences a natural wet-dry rhythm while always having nutrients available when needed, roots tend to develop extremely well. Healthy roots often translate into healthier plants. At least, that has been my experience. ⸻ 🌿 Why I Enjoy Growing with AutoPots Every grower eventually finds methods that simply fit their style. For me, AutoPots offer several advantages: • Consistent moisture around the root zone • Reduced daily watering workload • Excellent oxygen availability inside the substrate • Stable nutrient delivery • Very vigorous vegetative growth Perhaps most importantly… They let me spend more time observing the plants instead of carrying watering cans every day. And honestly, watching the AquaValve quietly doing its job never gets old. ⸻ 📊 Week 4 Environment • Week 4 — Vegetation • Height: 25 cm • EC: 1.35 • pH: 6.1 • Temperature: 33°C Day / 25°C Night • RH: 63% • CO₂: 639 ppm • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Water consumption: approximately 1.1 L per plant every 24 hours ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Schedule This week the nutrition remained simple and balanced using the Plagron Terra line. • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L • Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L The plant responded beautifully with rich green foliage, vigorous growth and absolutely no signs of nutrient stress. Exactly the kind of consistency every grower hopes for. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts Week 4 feels like the beginning of something special for Purple Haze A. She has developed into a vigorous, healthy young plant with beautiful structure, outstanding leaf health and plenty of energy heading toward the flowering stretch. Now the AutoPot system enters the picture, adding another interesting chapter to this diary. Whether gravity feeding produces bigger plants or simply makes life easier, we’ll discover together over the coming weeks. That’s the beauty of documenting everything honestly. Every plant becomes its own little experiment. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey and supporting home growing around the world.

He is actually in his eighth week, As I told you, we often do not manage to meet Its smell and aroma are simply amazing

Wow... Very healthy plants... Going from seed to monsters in 22 days... 😁😁 Can't wait to see them flower..under the 400 hps... Topping and thinning the lower branches for a hst/sea of greenish 👍

Hi liebe Community! 💚 Nach der fünften Blütewoche schreitet dass Blütenwachstum richtig vorran! Ein Dichter Tepich aus Stigmen überzieht die Blütenansätze und es bilden sich sehr viele richtig Trichome aus, was der Pflanze einen unfassbar schönes frostiges Aussehen verleiht. Die Blütenstruktur zieht sich nun den Großteil des Stammes entlang und es entsteht ein dich besiedelter und immer dicker werdender Blütenteppich. Dies Woche kam zum Boostern der Pflanze noch der Biotabs PK Booster Compost Tee zum Einsatz, welcher sich meiner Meinung nach bei einem soliden Organics Grow nicht mehr weg denken lässt. Hierzu muss auch gesagt werden dass sich die Blüten sehr rasant entwickeln. Die Buddichte beträgt bereits 7 cm an der dicksten Stelle. Insgesamt ist die Pflanze sehr Vital und hat eine sehr schöne und geradlinige Blütenstruktur😉 Sie liefert eine sehr gute Performance ab Die Wachstumsbedingungen im Growzelt sind weiterhin am Optimum und Stabil: ——————— 🌞 Temp: 24,3°C 🌚 Temp: 20 °C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 0,97 kPa 😎PPFD: 830 mqm ——————— Stay Tuned! 💚

Hi everyone this week most leaves die in a day and I think is due high ppm so I start to feed with just water then next week I chop her down

Iniziamo un nuovo ciclo alla scoperta di nuove genetiche e nuovi sapori. Continuiamo crescendo a fare e condividere con voi nuove esperienze! Seguitemi e lasciate Like!! Happy growing!!

Ich werde am nächsten Tag anfangen zu entlauben und bereite sie auf die Blüte vor.

Looks like she's completely healthy and developing well,I got scared a little bit at first due to three fact that she didn't pop after 48hs in the paper towel,but now that I see her coming up from the soil I'm much more relaxed and expecting the best from this amazing medicinal strain by Dutch passion. I Prepared the soil using bactrex, mycotrex and 2 bio tabs by bio tabs organics. Let's see how this wonderful lady performs.😍💚🌱🤞

ladies and gentlemen Welcome to peaky house gardens We are in the running with yet another strawberri....yes guys....we love it too much...I would like a whole tree of it 😄

Esa familia, traigo la última semana de floración de las cookies gelato, increíble lo prietas que están , son flores muy compactas y llenas de tricomas. Un híbrido increíble, ya se ve productor y además se aprecia potencia en su flor. Ya deseando pegar machetazo y en unas semanas podré apreciar los resultados. . La humedad esta al 45% la temperatura está entre 21/25 grados , y como siempre el ph , ya que es de lo más importante,está en 5,8/6,0. . AgroBeta: Ya tenemos el lavado de raíces realizado, hemos retirado los nutrientes y finalizamos con un estrés hídrico. . Hasta aquí todo familia 🕸️ , un saludo y buenos humos fumetillas💨💨💨.

06/10/2024 Roots roots Rootz!!!! Had to take out a few that weren't moving along!!! 06/14/2024 They going in lfg!!!!

Plant has shown slow but healthy growth since its arrival, LST continues and I've managed to keep the plant at the same height it was last week but now at a horizontal angle. I did up the nutes for one feed to a slightly under recommended dose but in the days following I noticed the plant looking a little 'droopy' and since she has been with me she hasnt been drinking very well so I opted to flush her for a feed, since then she has seemed very happy :) whilst drinking much better (possible nute lock was imminent). Now back down to half doseages with the exception of CalMg (to help after flush) but will be increasing them in the following days. As of next week I will be transferring her and another plant my partner is nurturing into single bucket DWC set ups. Fingers crossed I will see some hearty results for making the crossover to hydro.

Hitting the Finish line

Quick update. Everything is going pretty well, it's growing quickly. 😉✌️

Hello, OK so this girl has been Flushing for 9days and will continue to flush for another 5 before I chop her down 🤟🙌🙏🎉🎊 She looks and smells amazing 👏 so 😍😋👌 will be back to update a harvest

Alright, fair to say we are transitioning to flower. Will continue LST, spacing out the colas. Minor defoliation this week, removing growth at base. Runoff EC still pretty high, will hold off on feeding additional nutes for a bit longer. Video/photos taken 28 days after breaking soil.

Ladies still drink a lot of water, 3,4 L every 48 hours. Main cola flowers are getting big, side colas less but still 2 weeks to go so hopefully they will continue. The lady in the front, plant and buds have another aspect then the other 2. All of them are cherry cola. Also had some issues with her during veg phase and she began flowering earlier.

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. Flowering day 44 since the time change to 12/12 h. Hi everyone 😁. The plant continues to develop very well week after week and its buds keep getting bigger and smelling better and better ☺️. 1 g enhancer per l cocos was added. Otherwise the tent was cleaned again and all containers filled 👍.
