4.7. DSD grew by far the biggest Seems to take the heat and direct sun well. Some bugs are eating the leaves. Will apply neem. Food every 10 days or so

29.08 Defoliated yesterday. They keep drinking more. Added undercanopy lighting to see the difference. Next time from the beginning.

Took off excess lower bud sites and removed fan leaves. The plant is looking fantastic and plumping up nicely. Tops are already looking chunky and the light penetration is much better now after defoliating some more. I have turned the light up to 50% and have raised it to its final height. Luckily the stretching wasn’t too bad and didn’t push the light up too much.

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 8 | The Bush With Her Own Rhythm Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Last week I talked about how remarkably similar the two Purple Haze sisters had been looking. Well... That story has changed. 😄 This week, Purple Haze Pheno B is making it very clear that she has her own personality. While her sister has developed a different structure and expression, Pheno B has settled into something completely different: She's a bush. 🌿💜 Compact. Dense. Lush. Full of life. And absolutely comfortable being exactly what she is. This is one of the reasons I love growing multiple phenotypes from the same genetics. You can give two sisters exactly the same environment, exactly the same nutrition and exactly the same light... And eventually, genetics starts whispering: "Let me show you who I am." And this girl is definitely talking. 🌱 One Project. One Environment. Twelve Unique Stories. If you're new to the diary, welcome! This plant is part of my ongoing 8×8 Adventure, where twelve different cultivars are being grown together using the 12/12 From Seed technique. From the beginning, every plant has received the same opportunity: • The same lighting schedule • The same Plagron nutrition • The same AutoPot irrigation system • The same Future of Grow lighting • The same TrolMaster-controlled environment • The same temperatures • The same humidity No individual feeding. No special environmental treatment. No different light schedule. The genetics are the variable. And now, eight weeks into flowering, those genetic differences are becoming increasingly obvious. That's the beauty of this project. One environment. Twelve stories. And Purple Haze Pheno B is writing hers in a very different handwriting from her sister. 🌿 The Compact Purple Haze If I had to describe this phenotype in just a few words, I would say: Compact. Bushy. Lush. She's not trying to become the tallest plant in the room. Instead, she's building herself outward. Her branches are packed closely together, her foliage is abundant, and flowering sites are appearing throughout that dense structure. Looking at her now, I can see why she has developed into such a compact plant. There is simply a lot of plant packed into a relatively small space. And I love it. She has created her own little ecosystem. Everywhere I look, there are leaves. Behind those leaves, more branches. And behind those branches... flowers. 🌸 This is a phenotype that seems much more interested in building density than chasing height. And that's perfectly fine with me. 🌸 Week 8 – The Flowers Are Taking Shape The flowering sites are becoming much more established now. The delicate little clusters from the earlier weeks have developed into recognizable young flowers, with pistils continuing to emerge from the developing calyxes. There is still plenty of time for these flowers to swell and mature, but the direction is becoming very clear. She's flowering. She's stacking. And she's doing it everywhere. One thing that really stands out in the photographs this week is just how much healthy foliage surrounds the flowers. The plant remains intensely green and full of vitality. There is no shortage of leaves here. In fact... there may be a few too many. 😄 Which brings me to what's coming next. ✂️ The Defoliation Is Coming Until now, I've deliberately allowed this girl to keep her healthy foliage. I wanted to see how she developed naturally before deciding how much intervention she actually needed. And I'm glad I waited. Because now I can see exactly what I'm dealing with. She's lush. Very lush. The canopy is becoming increasingly dense, and as flowering progresses, I want to make sure the developing flowers have enough space, airflow and light penetration. So I believe next week will probably be the right moment for some selective defoliation. Not a dramatic haircut. Not stripping the plant bare. Just a thoughtful cleanup. Removing selected leaves that are: • Blocking developing flowering sites • Creating unnecessary layers of foliage • Restricting airflow inside the bush • Sitting in places where they provide little additional benefit The goal isn't to change who she is. The goal is to help her express what she's already built. And honestly... I think she's going to shine after it. ✨ 🍃 Keeping the Plant Healthy One thing I continue to appreciate about this phenotype is the overall quality of her foliage. The leaves are broad, healthy and strongly developed. The plant has maintained excellent colour and structure, and there are no major signs that she's struggling with the demands of flowering. This is particularly important at this stage. A plant can be large and impressive while still being stressed. That's not what I'm seeing here. Instead, she looks comfortable. She's growing at her own speed. She's building flowers at her own speed. And she's maintaining her own balance. That's exactly what I want to see. 💧 Feeding for Week 8 As flowering progresses, the feeding program continues to support the plant through this important period of flower development. This week's Plagron feeding consists of: • Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Supporting the nutritional demands of flowering and continued flower development. • Power Buds – 1 ml/L Supporting the transition and development of the flowering sites. • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Providing additional support during the flowering phase as the flowers continue developing. • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Part of the flowering nutrition strategy supporting the plant as she progresses toward maturity. • pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L • Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L Used as required to bring the nutrient solution into the desired pH range. The current nutrient solution is sitting around EC 2.0 mS/cm, with a solution temperature of approximately 24°C. And, as always... every plant in this project receives the same recipe. The phenotype decides how she responds. 💡 Light From Above and Below The combination of the main Future of Grow lighting and the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues to be particularly interesting with this phenotype. Because Pheno B has such a dense, bushy structure, the additional light lower in the canopy becomes especially relevant. The upper canopy naturally receives the strongest illumination. But with a plant this compact, there are flowering sites developing throughout the interior and lower portions of the structure. The under-canopy lighting provides another layer of illumination in those areas. Again, I'm not expecting miracles. It's simply another tool in the ecosystem. And as I selectively remove some of the excess foliage next week, I'm particularly curious to see how the combination of improved airflow, better visibility of the flowering sites and additional lower-canopy light affects her development. 🌡️ A Stable Environment The room continues to provide a consistent environment for all twelve phenotypes. Current conditions for this update: • Flower Week: 8 • Height: 111 cm • Light schedule: 12/12 • Day temperature: 20°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: approximately 6.0 • EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 24°C • Substrate temperature: 21°C • CO₂: 636 ppm • Watering: approximately 1.2 L per plant / 24h • Pot size: 15 L Note: the temperature values are recorded exactly as shown in this week's GrowDiaries data. Consistency continues to be one of the most important parts of this experiment. The environment stays consistent. The feeding stays consistent. The plants don't. And that's exactly what we're here to observe. 📷 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs really tell her story. The wider shots show a plant that has become incredibly dense and compact, with foliage filling almost every available space. The closer photographs reveal something even more interesting. Behind that wall of leaves are flowering sites developing throughout the plant. The pistils are fresh. The flowers are forming. And the resin production is already becoming visible across the developing structures and surrounding sugar leaves. She's not trying to be her sister. She's not trying to be the tallest. She's not trying to follow the same path. She's simply being Purple Haze Pheno B. And I think that's beautiful. 🔮 Looking Ahead – Time to Let Her Shine Next week may be an important little turning point for this girl. After allowing her to develop naturally for so long, I think she's finally reaching the point where a selective defoliation will benefit the structure she's created. I'll be looking for the leaves that are doing more blocking than contributing. I'll open some of the interior. I'll improve airflow. I'll give those developing flowers a little more breathing room. But I won't take away her personality. That bushy structure is part of what makes this phenotype interesting. The goal isn't to turn her into her sister. The goal is to help this phenotype become the best version of herself. And I have a feeling that once we open her up a little... She's going to surprise us. 💜 Different Doesn't Mean Less One of the biggest lessons from this 8×8 Adventure continues to be that there isn't just one definition of a great plant. Purple Haze Pheno A and Purple Haze Pheno B may share the same genetics. They may share the same room. They may share the same nutrients, lights, irrigation and environmental conditions. But they're telling different stories. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. Pheno B has chosen a different path. She's compact. She's dense. She's incredibly lush. She's building her own little world instead of reaching for the ceiling. And honestly? I'm loving her for it. 💜 Every phenotype deserves the opportunity to shine in its own way. And next week, when we carefully open this beautiful bush and give those flowers a little more room to breathe... I think we're going to see just how much potential has been hiding underneath all that green. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure. This project continues to remind me that growing isn't about forcing plants to become identical. It's about creating the right conditions... Then stepping back and watching genetics tell its story. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing the platform where growers from around the world can document, share and learn together. 🌱 Zamnesia — for the Purple Haze genetics that are giving us these fascinating phenotype differences to explore. 💜 Plagron — for supplying the nutrition supporting the plants throughout this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the lighting powering this project. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment shared by all twelve phenotypes. ✨ Lumiflora — for bringing the under-canopy lighting into this experiment and giving us another variable to observe. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions and enjoying this adventure with me. Last week, I thought these two Purple Haze sisters were following almost the same blueprint. This week, Pheno B looked at that blueprint and apparently said: "Nah... I'm doing my own thing." 😂💜 And you know what? That's exactly what I wanted to see. Different phenotype. Different rhythm. Different story. Same beautiful genetics. Growers Love! 💜🌿

This is week 2

first week in flower will defoliate week after all plants look real good lolipopped and cleaned

Flowering Week 27: Mold Alerts & Aromatic Triumphs Update: 14.09.2025 | Day 191 Hey Growmies, Week 27 tested us with brutal weather – rain almost daily, humidity never dropping below 60%. But the ladies are hanging tough. Had a small mold scare on Durban Poison, but caught it early. The improved support system held strong against the wind – no collapses this time! Let’s get straight to the main characters: Durban Poison She’s loving the weekly mineral fertilizer – bulking up like she’s on steroids! The aroma and resin production have intensified big time. After touching her buds, my fingers are glued together with sticky goodness ❤️. Still, I’m staying vigilant – checking daily for mold and removing any signs immediately. Blueberry Her buds are getting denser and more beautiful every day. Finally seeing resin glistening on the sugar leaves, and the smell… unbelievably divine. Fruity, sweet – beyond anything I expected. Really hoping the weather allows me to harvest at least a few mold-free buds from her. Next Steps · Make a sacrifice to the weather gods (please, no more rain!) · Continue weekly TriPart + Bokashi juice routine · Daily mold checks and branch inspections That’s all for this week, friends. Catch y’all next time. – Smoking_Joe_Frazier

Another week down a whole week of 12/12 and I won’t say she’s stretching yet, I would have thought ild see son pistols by now but no.i know she’s healthy the cutting I took only took two days to fully root A few new things to add to the list of nutrients, this week she’s had a heavy top dress. Reaper, soil candy, and barley to kick start bloom, grow plus to make sure she has enough to stretch properly and the knf. Which I’ve add fermented fruit juice to now for bloom, Fermented fruit juice - I’ve gone hard to ferment this properly since using shop bought fruits, Bananas for potassium, blackberries and blueberries because that’s how I imagine a moonberry would taste 😂 I know it’s no going to influence the terps but still LAB for microbes and jsm ( leaf mould and potato in water to collect microbes in the water) And finally molasses. This brew took about three weeks. The light stayed the same high flipped to 12 hours and turned up to 75%. She will stay there until the plant reaches 30cm from the light. I thinkkkkk that wraps this week up might be a bit boring from here on out work wise butttt will be exciting watching her blow up, till next week. Let’s get it 💪🏽

Still at 1/4 strength..I'm gonna flush before I up the nutrients cause I think ph may be fluctuating. I saw slight yellowing in veins yesterday. Other than that pretty happy, she still hasn't developed that signature diesel smelll but I'm sure its coming soon 😎

Moving along nic, week 8 done. Not much to report. Lemon cherry cookies looks like its going to finish first

Buenas Compañeros! Semana 8 de Floracion! Llegamos al final. METEMOS MACHETE a este magnífico cultivo mix organico que a resultado ser súper divertido. Al final ha salido una buena cosecha. Jejeje 💚🌲🔥🌱 Esta última semana hemos tenido las luces máximo con unos 55000 lúmenes y unos 850ppfd y se ha notado El impulso final de tricomas Esta semana aprovechamos para terminar de limpiar las raíces para ello usamos Clean, Growzime y agrobacterias para terminar de apurar ese exceso de sales. Hemos ido con una Ec de 0.4 y un pH 6.5 Todo ello proporcionado por la gama de abonos @GreenBuzzNutrients Hemos cortado 8 plantas de 9.. Una Purple og Punch viene más tardía.. la voy a poner en otro armario y la dejaré minimo 2 semanas más Os dejo fotos de la cosecha. Espero que os gusten.. en breves subo la cata y fotos de la hierba seca Un placer y muchas gracias por todas vuestras visitas y apoyo 🌱💚👍🏻😘🤝🏻🍀

Genética muy estable, floración rápida, hermoso color y bastante generosa 💚❤️

this little shogun that could has stretched to the max! She is actually a little big bush now. Too bad this season was not as ideal as it could have been. She has started to flower 7 to 8 weeks to go.

Ciao a tutti! Sono veramente senza parole per la quantità di terpeni e tricomi, mai avuti risultati simili. Devo dire che la linea advanced nutrients sta facendo tutto il suo dovere, non ho mai sentito un profumo così, si sente anche fuori di casa. Ho defogliato ancora tra una rete e l'altra andando a eliminare tutte le foglie che erano inutili, per evitare rischi muffa (visto anche l'umidificatore acceso) e per far sì che aria e luce non abbiano impedimenti a circolare liberamente. Penso che manchino 3 settimane, dalla prossima inizierò con l'overdrive per far sì che la pianta inizi a scaricare tutto quello che ha. Sono veramente soddisfatto, senza parole. La prossima volta metterò solo più due vasi e due strain, per ridurre il consumo di acqua e fertilizzanti, ho visto che ce la posso fare tranquillamente e più o meno nelle stesse tempistiche, visto l'eccessivo allungamento avuto questa volta. Una nota di merito allo strain, la barney's non delude mai ma la mimosa evo è veramente top, lo scorso anno ho fatto quella normale stavolta per orange punch e devo dire che è lo strain migliore che ho messo finora. Bene, continuerò a rifarmi gli occhi, a settimana prossima! 🤣 🍀😎💪🏼🔝

22/1/2022: I made the mistake of added bio bizz grow 1ml earlier in the week which stressed some of the leaves by providing too much nitrogen ( the plants are in miracle grow soil) so quickly switched to bio heaven 2ml only. humidity is kept high lights are still at 24 and have been at 60% all week. the plants have developed large flat leaves which showcase its Indica genetics. as noted some yellowing of the first leaves. will switch gently to bloom at the end of next week leaving it with 3 weeks in veg and the rest in flower. Sea of green.

She took over the complete tent surface!! Bearly have place to keep humidifier and heater. I am thinking never again to go with more than one plant as this way she will give her full potential. And tent is 80cmx80cmx180. She seem super healthy however I did found several leaves with brown spots. Not enough nutrient, too much nutrients? No idea...will need to google and ask you guys. I have disconnected her from the autopot after 5 days and will wait until root is dry. Need to leave her for 6-7 days again and the plan is to give her 10ml of BIO PK 5-8 and 8 ml of orgatrex diluted in 1,5 lit of water. Also I ve diluted 8 ml of orgatrex in tank with 18liters water added, hopefull she will use all of it at the time I am back and strart drying the root. Did some defoliation to pass down the light for lower flowers and spayed her with BOOM BOOM spray. Let see how next week will turn out. Cheers!

Looking good so far...liking the dry amendment/ organic method. I havent tried any of the same strains with this method vs regular nutes feeding so i cant say for sure but i think i may have given a little of the yield away and cant say if the quality and taste went up to offset it just yet. Still plan to stick with it atleast until fall to get a good sample size. Will b going into week 6 on Thursday so we in the home stretch.😁😁😁.... Got blumats coming to free up time and water this style a little better. And a cam for better pics and so i dont have to b in the room as much. Should have more time to betted document everything. Damn i cant wait til outdoor season.
