So this is the week I found out all about PPFD, PAR and LUX, basically all the basic info one needs to understand how lighting works. So I brought down the 300W LED I have down to 18cm from the plants since that's the spot where I get 1000 PPFD. Since I don't have a quantum meter to measure this directly, I instead measured the LUX output of the LED light with a free app on my phone and then converted the LUX to PPFD using an online converter. Also bought real nutes, more specifically the GHE Flora Duo 500ml tri-pack. As a result I also switched up the feeding schedule, so now I'm feeding them every three days, and doing water only every three feeds. A bit late in the process, but hey, first grow! 😅 Finally, the first amber thricomes are showing, yay! 😍

Really struggling with this gal now. PH fluctuation is so rapid. 5.6 to 7.0 in the first 24 hours of a change. Switched to the GH trio from FF and added in the Cal Mag

Básicamente lo mismo, aunque está semana pilló bastante más horas de luz(tuve que irme fuera de casa dos findes seguidos, en los cuales la dejé con la luz encendida full 24/7 en la caja) Como experiencia utilicé café reposado 48h para "alimentarla" e intentar bajar el Ph de la tierra (coco ph6+hummus ph7+vermiculita ph8= ph total 7) El otro experimento fue cubrir la tierra con coco para que el tallo eche raíces y aprovechar su espigamento! Las horas de luz solía dejarla 8h en bombilla mientras duermo, y el día la pongo en la ventana a que tome el fresco, pero apenas tiene luz directa, me da la sensación que crece más rapido cuando vuelvo del finde, estoy replanteandome tenerla más tiempo en la caja con luz, porque la veo aún pequeña, y quizá ponerle un ventilador de pc o algo🤔..veremos, aún tengo el papel de aluminio al lado de la caja y ni se lo he puesto, con eso os lo digo todo☝️🎃

Week 9/10 of flower and this one is juuuust starting to find its end. Trich development and bud bulk has increased pretty significantly over the last week and if u look real close we’re seeing slight signs of amber. Still not there just yet but leaves have begun to fade a little indicating that the end is nigh. Frustrating to see little spots of WPM here and there - we’ve been treating that with spot sprays of sodium bicarbonate which has kept it in check. The soil and pot simply aren’t getting enough airflow.l due to the plants overall size and a need to keep the canopy cool when so close to the grow light. Other than that , she’s been pretty smooth sailn. Not long now and looking forward to the finish on this one👍.

Day 35 is here. We are a week into flower and most the plants are just starting to hit that flowering stretch. I have been bending them down a little every couple days, but I need to focus on cleaning up some of the bottom branches so we can keep good air flow through the plants. Will work on that through this next week. I haven't done a water change, just been topping off the reservoir with fresh nutrients as they drink it up. Feeding half and half maxigro and maxibloom. Will cut out the maxigro in a couple weeks when I notice their stretch slowing down. I had a plant overflow this week because the drain line is getting full of roots. I noticed a couple roots have made their way into the reservoir already. I set a pump timer to 1 minute on and 20 minutes off so they can drain properly. I would like to make it through the grow without having to mess with the drains, but we will see what happens. I will make some modifications if needed. Other than that everything is running smooth and I hope we have some little pistils to show by next week. Thanks for stopping by ✌️

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 9 | The Definition of Beautiful Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Sometimes a plant makes you work for the compliments. Sometimes a plant keeps you guessing. Sometimes a plant gives you problems that make you spend half your time trying to understand what she's asking for. And then... Sometimes you have Purple Haze Pheno A. 😂💜 This girl keeps doing her thing. She keeps growing. She keeps developing. She keeps building beautiful flowers. And honestly, the more I look at her, the more I struggle to find something I would want to change. She may not be the biggest plant in the room. She may not be the tallest. She may not be the most demanding. But when it comes to balance... she might just be one of the most beautiful plants in this entire run. And this week, I think she deserves to shine. 🌱 The Plant That Just Gets It One of the things that has impressed me most about Purple Haze Pheno A is how naturally everything seems to fit together. The leaves. The branches. The flower sites. The spacing. The proportions. The overall size of the plant. Nothing feels excessive. Nothing feels missing. She's developed a structure that simply makes sense. There's enough foliage to support the plant without making the flowers disappear. There are enough flowers to make the canopy interesting without completely overwhelming the structure. And when you look at the plant as a whole, there is a beautiful relationship between everything she's producing. It's one of those plants where you step back and think: "Yeah... that's a beautiful plant." And then you step closer. And it gets even better. 💜 The Colour The foliage continues to be one of my favourite things about her. That healthy green. That beautiful contrast between the leaves and the developing flowers. The way the light catches the foliage. The way the plant looks from a distance and then completely changes character when you move closer. There's something very elegant about her. She's not trying to be spectacular. She simply is. And that's probably why I enjoy photographing her so much. There is always something worth looking at. 🌸 The Flowers Are Coming Together The flower formation continues looking beautiful this week. The calyxes are becoming increasingly obvious, while the white pistils continue covering the developing flowers. This is the part of flowering where the individual components begin coming together into something that looks increasingly like the finished structure they're going to become. And Purple Haze is doing exactly that. The flowers are developing along the branches with a really pleasing structure. The proportions are beautiful. The pistils are giving everything that classic early-to-mid flowering appearance. And the resin development is becoming increasingly noticeable. There's still plenty of time ahead. But you can already see where this is going. And I like what I see. Very much. 🍃 The Perfect Balance If I had to choose one characteristic that defines this phenotype for me, it would probably be balance. She's not just producing flowers. She's not just producing foliage. She's producing what feels like the right combination of both. The leaves are beautifully formed. The flower-to-leaf relationship is pleasing. The branches are carrying their flowers naturally. And the plant maintains a compact, manageable profile. This is something that becomes particularly interesting when you're running multiple phenotypes together. Because you can see all these different interpretations of the same basic environment. Some plants want to stretch. Some want to stay compact. Some want more attention. Some seem perfectly happy being left alone. Purple Haze Pheno A has quietly established herself as one of the plants that simply gets on with the job. And I absolutely love that. 🌿 No Need to Fix What Isn't Broken Last week I talked about letting her shine without unnecessary intervention. This week, that philosophy hasn't changed. Why would it? She's healthy. She's developing. She's maintaining beautiful colour. Her flowers are progressing. Her structure is exactly where I like it. So there is no reason to interfere simply because we can. Growing plants sometimes creates this strange temptation to constantly do something. Remove something. Change something. Adjust something. But sometimes the best decision is simply: Leave her alone. Purple Haze Pheno A is giving me very little reason to pick up the scissors. And I'm perfectly happy with that. 💡 One Environment, Twelve Personalities This is where the 8×8 Adventure continues to become more interesting every week. We're running multiple genetics inside the same overall ecosystem. Same general environmental philosophy. Same lighting strategy. Same shared feeding approach. Same irrigation system. Same room. Yet look at the differences. Every phenotype is interpreting that environment in her own way. And Purple Haze Pheno A is giving us one of the nicest examples of a naturally balanced expression. She's not fighting the environment. She's not demanding constant intervention. She's simply adapting and expressing herself. And that is exactly what I wanted this project to reveal. 💡 Light From Above & Below The lighting strategy continues supporting the room as flowering progresses. The primary overhead lighting provides the main source, while the additional lighting deeper within the canopy gives us another perspective on how the lower flowering sites develop. With Purple Haze, I particularly enjoy being able to look through the structure and see flowers developing at different levels. She's not simply a plant with one impressive top. She's developing a network of flowering sites throughout her structure. And as those flowers continue building, it'll be fascinating to see how that balance develops further. 💧 Feeding & Consistency The flowering nutrition strategy remains consistent across the room: 🌱 Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH Plus / Lemon Kick as required The measured EC remains around 2.0 mS/cm, with pH around 6.0. There are no dramatic changes to report. And that's exactly the point. Purple Haze doesn't appear to be asking for anything different. She's responding beautifully to the existing environment, so consistency remains the priority. 🌡️ The Environment This week's recorded conditions are: 🌸 Flower Week: 9 📏 Height: 120 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.2 L/plant/24h The environment remains stable, giving this phenotype exactly what she needs to continue doing what she's been doing so well. 📸 This Girl Deserves the Camera Looking through the photographs this week, I keep coming back to the same thought: She is charming. The overall plant. The flowers. The calyxes. The pistils. The leaves. The colour. The structure. Even the size. Everything about her seems to fit together. And this is where photography becomes such a big part of the project for me. A wide photograph shows you the plant. A close-up shows you the flower. A macro photograph shows you an entirely different world. You start seeing the individual calyxes. The pistils. The trichomes. The veins in the leaves. The textures. All those tiny details that disappear when you're simply looking at the plant as a whole. Purple Haze rewards that closer look. Every time. 💜 The Plant I Wouldn't Change I think every grower eventually encounters a plant that makes them think: "If I could start this one again, I wouldn't change much." Purple Haze Pheno A is becoming that plant for me. Not because she's perfect in some impossible sense. Plants aren't machines. But because she's developed a combination of characteristics that I genuinely enjoy. Beautiful colour. Beautiful foliage. Beautiful flower structure. Excellent proportions. A manageable size. Healthy development. And a natural architecture that doesn't seem to require me constantly stepping in. That's a pretty wonderful combination. 🔮 Looking Ahead So what's next? More of the same. And honestly, that's exactly what I want. The flowers should continue developing. The calyxes should continue becoming more prominent. Resin production should continue increasing. The flowers will gradually become denser and more mature. And eventually, we'll move from watching her build toward watching her finish. But we're not there yet. For now, I'm enjoying the process. Watching. Photographing. Documenting. And letting her continue doing what she's already proven she can do. 💜 Let Her Shine There are plants that make you excited because they surprise you. There are plants that make you excited because they challenge you. And then there are plants that simply make you stop and admire them. Purple Haze Pheno A is becoming that plant. She doesn't need a dramatic story this week. She doesn't need a major intervention. She doesn't need me to invent something to say. She's beautiful. And sometimes that's enough. The leaves are beautiful. The colour is beautiful. The flower-to-leaf ratio is beautiful. The bud formation is beautiful. The calyxes are beautiful. The pistils are beautiful. The structure is beautiful. The size is beautiful. The whole plant simply has charm. And when a plant gives you that feeling... you let her shine. 💜🌿 🙏 Thank You Another week of the 8×8 Adventure, and another reminder of why I love growing multiple phenotypes side by side. They all have their own personalities. Their own rhythms. Their own structures. Their own ways of expressing themselves. And Purple Haze Pheno A is writing one of my favourite stories of the entire run. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing the platform where growers can document, learn, share and inspire each other. 💜 Zamnesia — for these beautiful Purple Haze genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore what different phenotypes can become. 🌱 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting the garden throughout this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the lighting driving the room. 🌡️ TrolMaster — for helping maintain a stable environment behind the scenes. ✨ LumiFlora — for the additional lighting helping us explore flowering throughout the canopy. And, of course, thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment, every question, every bit of encouragement and every person simply stopping by to see how the girls are doing makes documenting this project even more enjoyable. Purple Haze Pheno A doesn't need to shout. She doesn't need to demand attention. She doesn't need to be the biggest girl in the room. She simply stands there... beautifully balanced, beautifully green, beautifully structured, and quietly building something special. 💜 Week 9. Still doing her thing. Still looking amazing. Still giving me very little to complain about. And honestly? I wouldn't have it any other way. Let's keep watching her shine. 💜🌿🌸 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚

During my previous grow, I harvested and made some bubble hash. Afterward, I dropped the used, wet buds onto this coco, and it seems some seeds sprouted from the leftover material. I’m not even sure if they’re photoperiod or autoflower, but hey—let's roll with it! Both my pH meter and PPM meter are broken. I have no idea why they keep breaking so often. They’re ADWA meters, and while you can replace the reading elements, the replacements cost half the price of a new meter. It’s frustrating, and I really don’t want to keep buying them every time I start a new grow

79 days!!!!! and the harvest is already harvested :) The whole growth until week 6 went very well, then the girl got a little worse, (I think it's my mistake, which I described in previous weeks), but besides all that she managed to ripen perfectly, matured stiff flowers, full of shiny sticky trichomes with a very, very sweet aroma ;) 210 gr of wet buds, I also collected a lot of sugar leaves from which I will make bubble hash :) I can't wait to taste it :) this is my first trip with Sweetseeds Looking at the flowers I understand that I will definitely repeat it :) I will leave more feedback after the smoke review:) good luck to everyone.

Hey there, my fellow ninja enthusiasts! Week 12 in our Tropical Tangie Ninja Run has been a wild ride, packed with thrilling developments and a few climate surprises. Let's dive in – this week, the temperature decided to crank up to a sizzling 32°C! As the guardian of my Tangie, I had to spring into action. To maintain a comfortable environment for her, I cranked up the humidity to a cozy 75%. Why, you ask? Well, it's all about VPD – Vapor Pressure Deficit. This fancy term essentially means we're striving to keep the air conditions as close as possible to the optimal range for plant health. Think of it as creating a ninja-approved climate! Now, let's talk trichomes. Oh boy, the trichome production this week has been off the charts! These little resin factories are working overtime, and the results are nothing short of mesmerizing. The numbers are outstanding, and the formation is simply beautiful. Our Tangie is turning into a trichome queen! But that's not all. This week, I've been all about that Zen garden vibe. I've been zenning out and sharing my herbal medicine not only with my plant but also with my ninja buddies. It's like a little garden party with a side of relaxation. Now, onto the numbers game – I raised the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) to 400 and bumped up the pH to 6.3. Why, you ask? Well, it's all about fine-tuning the nutrient solution. These adjustments ensure our Tangie gets the right balance of nutrients, promoting optimal growth and flowering. It's like giving her a customized meal plan for maximum ninja power! So there you have it – a blast of a week in the world of our Tropical Tangie Ninja Run. As always, I'm here, sharing the journey with you all. Stay tuned for more ninja updates, and remember, every twist and turn in this adventure is a testament to our dedication and love for the art of cultivation. Keep the ninja spirit alive, my leafy warriors! As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life<3 <3 <3 #aptus #aptusplanttech #aptusgang #aptusfamily #aptustrueplantscience #inbalancewithnature #trueplantscience #dutchpassion #dogdoctorofficial #legoninjago #growerslove

On day 1 I transplanted 2 BB clones into 3 gal smart pots with coco coir. I watered them in with veg formula and set up my blumat watering system with week 1 flower nutes. I raised PPFD to 600-700. On day 2 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.4 to 6.0. The rez is 823 ppm. The tops are 16.5" from the grow light. The blumats have not started watering yet and I will monitor to ensure it goes smoothly. I have the blumats set at 1.25 carrots on left plant and 1 carrot on right plant. The average PPFD of my 16 tops is 703 PPFD. I increased temps to 85 day 81 night to get leaf surface around 80 f during day. On day 3 the reservoirs PH is 6.2. The rez is 782 ppm. The blumats have started watering and I will monitor closely over the next few days. On day 4 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.1. The rez is 717ppm. On day 5 the reservoirs PH is steady at 6.1. The rez is 706 ppm. The highest top is 15.25" from the light. I defoliated to bring in more air and light to deeper into the canopy. I increased the flow rate of blumat by .5 carrot on the right plant as it was a little to dry for my liking. The Clones are preforming well. On day 6 the reservoir PH is going down so I adjusted up from 6.0 to 6.2. The rez is 730 ppm. The highest cola is 14.75" from the light. The left plant had a runaway so I reduced blumat by 1 carrot. I increased flow of blumat on right plant by .5 carrot as it is still drier than I would like. On day 7 the reservoirs PH was adjusted from 6.3 to 6.0. The highest cola is 14.25". I reset rez with nutes.

Starting to see some of the burning I've seen in previous grows and, due to this, I've been paying special attention to the pH in the trays themselves. I've noticed pH in the trays has been about 6.5 and, when I've found this, I've been pulling nutes out of the trays and replacing with fresh nutrients (trying to keep the nutrient level the same when replacing as to not drown the plants). Upward growth has slowed to a halt at this point and the flowers on this /very/ compact plant are starting to mature. The flower size is looking fairly unimpressive but should prove as a good place to improve from. The Sour Diesel next to it is another story! ha.

Today she moved into the 4x4 AC Infinity getting prepped to be flipped to 12/12 on New Years Eve. It's right around this point I started considering scrog because the growth is entirely overwhelming for LST after this. I'm running an S44 Ionboard from AC Infinity at 18" off the canopy at 70%. 850 avg ppfd. 55% rh. My EC is 2 and pH 6. She is drinking roughly 1.5 gallons a day at this point and my EC and pH have held steady. I don't top up with water. I just match ratios and top off daily until about a week before I plan on changing up mixes, then I top off with water until the change.
