๐Ÿ’œ Purple Haze by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno A Week 10 | This Girl Is on Fire! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Okay... I've finally figured out the soundtrack for this girl. There is only one song playing in my head every single time I look at her. ๐ŸŽถ โ€œThis girl is on fire...โ€ ๐ŸŽถ Yes. Alicia Keys. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ And I swear... I can't look at Purple Haze Pheno A anymore without hearing that song in my head. Because... THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ Look at her. The colour. The structure. The flower formation. The stacking. The bud size. The trichomes. The density. Everything seems to be moving forward at once. And the funny thing? She's doing it fast. For a photoperiod running 12/12 from seed, she seems to be moving at a pace that sometimes makes me wonder if somebody secretly turned her into an autoflower when I wasn't looking. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Of course, she's not. She's a photoperiod. She's following the same 12/12 schedule as the rest of the room. But somehow... when I look at her... she just seems to be moving. And moving quickly. So let's give this girl the spotlight she clearly came here to steal. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘ ๐Ÿ”ฅ This Girl Is on Fire Last week I called Purple Haze Pheno A one of the most beautifully balanced plants in the room. This week? I'm upgrading the description. She's on fire. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ The changes aren't necessarily about one gigantic transformation. It's the combination of everything happening together. The buds are stacking. The flower structures are becoming more substantial. The developing flowers are getting more definition. The trichome development is becoming increasingly visible. The colour remains beautiful. And the plant overall is starting to look like she's really finding her rhythm. This is one of those weeks where I walk into the room, look at her... and immediately stop. "Whoa." She's got that effect now. ๐Ÿ’œ The Colour Is Still Beautiful Let's start with something I've loved about this phenotype from the beginning. That colour. Those deep greens are absolutely gorgeous. And as the flowers continue developing, the contrast between the dark foliage and the developing buds becomes even more striking. There's a richness to this plant. The leaves look deep and healthy. The flowers are standing out beautifully against them. And the whole plant has that incredibly photogenic quality that makes you want to keep taking another photograph. Then another. And another. Because every angle seems to show something different. The deeper I look... the more I see. And right now, I'm seeing a girl that's absolutely thriving in her own little corner of the 8ร—8 jungle. ๐ŸŒธ The Buds Are Stacking This is probably the biggest thing catching my attention this week. The stacking. The flowers are becoming much more substantial, and the individual structures are starting to come together in a way that gives the plant a much more developed flowering appearance. We're not just looking at little flowering points anymore. We're starting to see real structure. Real volume. Real density beginning to develop. And it's happening throughout the plant. That makes me particularly excited because one of the things I've appreciated about Purple Haze Pheno A from the beginning has been her balance. She isn't just producing one impressive top. She's creating a beautiful overall flowering structure. And now those structures are starting to build on themselves. Layer by layer. Flower by flower. Week by week. Stacking. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ โ„๏ธ And Those Trichomes... Oh boy. This is another part of the story that's becoming increasingly interesting. The trichome development is becoming much more noticeable, and when you get close enough to really look at the flowers... there's that sparkle. That little layer of frost. That tiny world happening on the surface of the flowers. This is where macro photography becomes dangerous. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Because you start looking at one flower. Then you zoom in. Then you look at one little area. Then another. And suddenly you've forgotten that you went into the room to check something completely different. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ But that's what makes this stage so enjoyable. The plant is changing from something we simply observe from a distance into something that rewards increasingly close inspection. And Purple Haze? She's giving the camera plenty to work with. ๐Ÿš€ Moving Like an Autoflower? Now here's something that genuinely makes me laugh. This girl is a photoperiod. She's running 12/12 from seed, just like the rest of the room. Yet when I look at her development... she sometimes looks like she's trying to beat the autoflowers to the finish line. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm not saying she's actually ahead. She's still got plenty of flowering time ahead of her. And I know better than to start declaring winners at Week 10. But visually? She looks like she's moving extremely quickly. The flower formation. The stacking. The resin development. The overall maturity of the flowers. It all seems to be happening at a very nice pace. Maybe it's simply my eye. Maybe I'm getting excited because I'm watching her every week. Maybe the difference will become less obvious as the other girls catch up. Or maybe... this phenotype really is just moving. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ That's what we'll find out. And that's the beauty of documenting the whole journey. We don't have to decide today. We can simply keep watching. ๐Ÿ‘‘ The Crown Is Getting Dangerous I've said this before... but I'm saying it again. Everybody still has a crown. ๐Ÿ‘‘ This room is full of girls that are doing something special. One has the aroma. Another has the structure. Another has the size. Another has the colour. Another has the flowers. And then there's Purple Haze Pheno A standing there like: "Are we sure everybody gets a crown?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ Because she's making a very convincing argument for taking everybody else's. The thing I like most, though, is that we're still nowhere near the end. This isn't the final chapter. We're not judging the finished flowers. We're watching development. So maybe she's on fire now... but we've still got a lot of story left to tell. And I'm absolutely here for it. ๐ŸŒฟ The Perfect Combination What makes this phenotype particularly exciting for me is that she's not relying on one characteristic. It's the combination. Deep green foliage. Beautiful structure. Compact proportions. Strong flower formation. Increasing bud size. Visible resin development. Beautiful stacking. And now... speed. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ That's a pretty impressive package. She's still around 120 cm, so she's not trying to become the tallest plant in the room. She doesn't need to. She's showing us that you don't have to be enormous to make an enormous impression. Sometimes it's about what you do with the space you have. And Purple Haze seems to understand that very well. ๐Ÿ’ก Same 12/12. Different Expression. This is another reason I'm enjoying this phenotype hunt so much. The room is following the same overall lighting philosophy. The plants are running under the same 12/12 schedule. They're sharing the same ecosystem. They're experiencing the same general environmental conditions. And yet... look at the differences. Every plant has its own rhythm. Purple Haze Pheno A appears to be finding hers. And right now, that rhythm seems to be: build flowers โ†’ stack โ†’ frost โ†’ repeat. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ We're simply watching. โš—๏ธ Feeding & Consistency The room continues following the established flowering nutrition strategy: ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€“ 2.2 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 Lemon Kick / pH adjustment as required Current readings remain around: โš—๏ธ pH โ€“ 6.0 โšก EC โ€“ approximately 2.0 mS/cm And again... there's no reason to complicate something that is working. Purple Haze is looking fantastic. She's growing. She's flowering. She's stacking. She's getting frosty. She's maintaining that beautiful colour. So we're continuing with consistency and letting her show us what she wants to become. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ The Environment This week's recorded conditions are: ๐ŸŒธ Flower Week: 10 ๐Ÿ“ Height: 120 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: 29.9ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 60% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.0 โšก EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Solution temperature: 25ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L ๐Ÿ’ง Watering: approximately 1.2 L/plant/24h The environment remains stable. And Purple Haze is responding beautifully. ๐Ÿ“ธ The Camera Loves Her I think this is becoming obvious by now. This girl is photogenic. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“ธ The deeper colours. The flower structure. The contrast between leaves and flowers. The developing frost. The stacking. The shapes. Everything works. And this is exactly the kind of plant that makes macro photography so addictive. You start with the whole plant. Then you photograph a branch. Then a flower. Then you get closer. Then closer again. And suddenly you're looking at an entirely different landscape. That's one of the things I love most about documenting this run. We're not just recording growth. We're discovering tiny worlds. And Purple Haze Pheno A is giving us plenty of them. ๐Ÿ”ฅ The Girl Who Keeps Accelerating There's something really satisfying about watching a plant go from: "She's beautiful." to: "Holy crap, she's really building now." That's where I feel we are with Purple Haze. The earlier weeks were about structure. Then flower formation. Then development. And now... momentum. Everything seems to be coming together. The buds are becoming more substantial. The stacking is becoming more obvious. The trichomes are becoming more visible. The plant is looking increasingly mature. And the whole thing is happening quickly enough that I'm genuinely curious about where she'll be a few weeks from now. Because if this is Week 10... I'm very interested in Week 11. And Week 12. And beyond. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ” What Am I Watching Now? My biggest questions have changed again. I'm not wondering whether she's going to produce beautiful flowers. That's already happening. Now I'm watching: ๐ŸŒธ How much more will those buds stack? โ„๏ธ How much more resin will develop? ๐Ÿ’œ How will the colour evolve as she matures? ๐ŸŒฟ How much more density will the flowers gain? And perhaps most importantly: ๐Ÿ‘‘ Is this girl actually coming for the crown? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ I don't know yet. And I'm not going to pretend I do. We're still too early to call the final result. But she's certainly putting herself into the conversation. ๐Ÿ’œ Don't Blink Honestly... with this girl, I'm starting to think we shouldn't blink. ๐Ÿ˜‚ You look away for a week... and suddenly there's more flower. More stacking. More frost. More development. More reason to grab the camera. She's becoming one of those plants where the weekly comparison is particularly satisfying because the changes are becoming easier to see. And that is exactly what I want from this diary. Not just a final photograph. Not just a final result. But the story of how we got there. Week by week. Flower by flower. Photograph by photograph. ๐Ÿ”ฎ Looking Ahead I know she's still far from the finish line. That's important. We're not calling this the end. We're not calling her finished. We're not making predictions about the final result. We're simply enjoying what she's showing us right now. And right now? She's showing us something beautiful. So I'll keep watching the stacking. I'll keep watching the resin. I'll keep watching the flower development. I'll keep watching the colour. And, of course... I'll keep the camera ready. Because something tells me this girl isn't finished surprising us yet. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Let the Girl Shine So... Week 10. Purple Haze Pheno A. This girl is on fire. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ She's beautiful. She's stacking. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's building impressive bud structure. She's getting increasingly frosty. She's maintaining those deep greens. She's compact. She's balanced. She's moving quickly. And she's starting to make a very serious case for herself. Maybe she's simply having a particularly good week. Maybe my eyes are getting carried away. Maybe the rest of the room will catch up. Or maybe... we're watching a phenotype that really does have a little extra speed in her flowering rhythm. Whatever the answer is... I'm enjoying the hell out of watching it happen. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ For now, everybody still gets their crown. ๐Ÿ‘‘ But Purple Haze Pheno A? She's standing underneath the spotlight... and she's definitely turning up the heat. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ™ Thank You Another week of the 8ร—8 Adventure, and another week where the girls continue showing us why phenotype hunting is so much fun. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple Haze genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what this phenotype can become. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for keeping the photons flying. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the deeper canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable. And, of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by to see how the girls are progressing. It genuinely means a lot. And Purple Haze Pheno A? Well... I think we've found her song. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽถ "This girl is on fire..." And honestly... I don't think I could have picked a better one. She's deep green. She's frosty. She's stacking. She's beautiful. She's moving fast. And she's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. We're still far from the finish line. There are still plenty of chapters left. But for this week? The spotlight belongs to her. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘ Let's see how far this girl can take it. Let's see who keeps their crown. And let's see whether Purple Haze Pheno A can keep that fire burning all the way to the end. This girl is on fire. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘

Day 29, 08.05.2024 1730 - Gave ladies a drink of 500ml water incl. fertilizer each - added two fresh yellow cards - removed my old DIY VPD controller unit (boy I learned a lot - for example that mechanical relais are not as durable as I thought - more on that later maybe) - Both girls look fresh & healthy - I am looking forward to this week! Day 30, 09.05.2024 - No action at all today. They are growing fast! Day 31, 10.05.2024 1000 - Raised the lights by ~5cm again. - thinking about installing a net that holds down leaves and lets the buds (which are uneven in their distance to the light) receive an even amount of light - Today after the "night" there will be a round of drinks again as both of the ladies let their leaves hanging 1700 - gave 500ml water incl. fertilizer 2115 - got the ladies out of the tent to give them an inspection. Both look good (from what I can tell anyways...). Removed 2-3 lower leaves and one smaller bud which do not receive enough light (again: from what I can tell - I don't know what I am doing, just following my gut feeling :D ) - and the biggest change: I installed a SCROG Net / trellus net! I was already able to stretch out the branches and it helps me organize the branches and buds towards a much more even canope. It is currently at about 35cm above the pots with the tops of the first branches poking through Day 33, 12.05.2024 - one round of drinks inkl. Fertilizer: 500ml each. Cheers, drink up! - also rearranged the buds to better fill the net Day 34, 13.04.2024 - another slow day while approaching end of week 5 - installed a 3D printed LED display holder - fit light a charm - soil is bone dry - there will be an early drink tomorrow morning Day 35, 14.05.2024 - Cheers - drink up ladies! Decided to give a tap more: ~600ml each, inkl. Nutrition In the end of week 5 both ladies look healthy and good to go. There are a lot of buds visible - I am curious to see how many of those will not evolve into popcorn buds. The height in the end of the week is ~38cm with Erika II being 1 cm taller than Erika I (who would have thought...)

They are growing well and smelling good! I defoliate quite often, as it is dense in the tente. They look healthy :) all good

11/24 I was checking the bottom of the pot looking at the roots and I accidentally hit one of the colas off the light and it almost broke it off. Thankfully it didnโ€™t thatโ€™s why I have that random tie connected to my tent pole. 11/27 the main colas fan leaves are really starting to fade which worries me a bit since it seems a bit too soon, but oh well we are going to ride it out. There is not much I can do at this point without making it a harsh smoke.

I went ahead a flipped into flower and the girls have responded really well! I had some issues last week but I think adjusting the PH down to 5.9 helped and diluting my nutrient solution to bring down my EC levels helped as well

The ladies weren't very thirst this week. They got 1 gallon of nutrients each on Sun., 12/29, Wed., 1/1, and Sat., 1/4. Minimal fan leaf clearing throughout the week. Since the stretch is definitely over, on Wed., I lowered the light to 25 inches from the top of the Kush. It's coming down to the final 2-3 weeks. Time to start getting excited ...I'm also trying to decide if I am going to try and dry them in my basement so I can start on my next grow sooner. Decisions decisions. hahaha Enjoy the videos. The first one is of the walk-in closet that the grow tent is setup in and second is of what I have going on inside of the tent. I hope you like them and if you're a newb like me, hopefully you get something useful out of them. Thanks for following along. Happy smoking, and Happy New Year!

This week spaced among different types of weather, from rain and hail storms, to sunny and heat (I took the plants indoors for the hail) Height looks the same, because I added some ground, so they grew but it looks they did not. They get water once a day and the point leaf count is increasing. Soon they will be moved to 14 liters pots, what do you think? I normally wait that they have 5 points (or more) per each whole leaf Thanks for following me and in case you want to share anything, feel free to text me or comment PEACE

So last week I accidentally posted pictures of the other phenotype of gorilla cookies in this diary. She's doing great though. By far the biggest plant in my tent currently. Feeding with med man brand nutes, kind bud base at 600 ppm and half a g of bloom per l of water

Day 45 --> Restart some light LST for the final weeks of Flowering. ๐Ÿ‡ Really intense aromas from stomper n GWK (like sour,sweet grape tannins). โš ๏ธ In this project we experimented with a super soil like mixture. Biobizz all mix was 65% of the mixture which 1/3 of it was placed on the bottom of the pot and the rest 2/3 was mixed with 35% Canna terra. About 10% perlite was added on the mix and it was sprayed with EM microorganisms (Soil activator). ๐Ÿ The target is a tasty organic flower fed only with tap water and a slow release organic fertilizer(6-3-18) which being applied on the end of the 3rd week and, becomes available to the plants 7 days after. In our case which we transplanted on day 9, we used it on day 30(9+21) from seed. โ„น๏ธ Facts Until the 3rd week plants were growing under LST with no problem (Day 17-19) was when preflower started). In the 4th week development slowed down and initially we though that was due to some drop of temp like midway veg in โžก๏ธ (RQS fem induction). After days were passing and the development of the plants was not satisfying (even though the plants didn't show any symptoms of deficiency or environmental stress) we noticed shiny leaves and dark green colour starting from Stomper#1 which was the smallest plant and was the only one that had some visible burned tips on the leaves. GWK#2 was the only one that did not appear dark green colour or shiny leaves (like SS#1,#2 and GWK#1) but had drooping leaves without having overwatered her or noticing any issues.(Conditions on week 5 and 6 were a bit unstable as the weather got weird and we had high humidity and low temps). Reaching 7th week plant development continues to be average, stems of the most plants became dark red without having low temps inside the tent even though plants look a bit better after they were let to dry a bit more. ๐Ÿ”ฌ Symptoms 1)Dark shiny leaves 2)Slow growth 3)burn tips 4)Drooping leaves 5) Dark Red stems Matching the pieces of the puzzle we assume that we had NITROGEN TOXICITY and knowing that we do not use any liquid fertilizers it seems that our problem was that our super soil was too "hot" for our baby mephs. If our rooting system of our plants reached the final layer of soil( Biobizz all mix on the bottom of the pot) in the 4th week, it was when it had the highest availability of nitrogen. Availability that seem to be "too hot" for Sour stomper and Grape walker kush in early Flowering. Also in the last weeks we had cold weather so we had an electrical heater on increasing the temp of the room which led to higher temp and transpiration inside the tent.That being said it is likely that due to higher transpiration our plants let higher amount of N to enter the plant and that forced the plants to show us signs of it's toxicity. For a start we let the pots dry to reduce the nitrogen availability and then in Day 45 we water with 6,5 ph tap water + EM microorganisms (700ml each pot). โ„น๏ธ Day 48 : Ideal humidity + temps and the plants have started to drink and eat a lot better the last days. After the second water (700ml) of the week yesterday (D47) with microorganisms only, we find the first signs of deficiency on Sour stomper #2 today. We were expecting this cause our dry fert has only (6-3-18) --> 3 phosphorus (slow release), so our leaves look like having phosphorus and calcium deficiency, we are thinking that the roots locked calcium too with the deficiency of P as these too are collaborating. - So we are going to feed all the plants with organic liquid fert. from Plagron - green sensation PK (9-10) starting with stomper#2. * Every plant in tent has its private watering schedule as the maturity and needs, have changed over the last week. - If the problem continues we'll consider a cal mag solution. * Will be appreciated any comments or same experiences!! Last updated --> Day 49 end of the week.

- 3rd round of veg nutes; doubling last weeks and upping cal mag from 2.5 to 3 - Bucket has 3.75 gal of water in it - First defoliation. Learned I should have cut more bottom leaves since I ended up doing that down the line anyway - Trying to keep humidity between 55-65%

It has been 6 weeks of flowering , this week specifically I have seen a lot of changes in the buds development. The ph and the ppm level of the reservoir is fluctuating very much. The PH drops to around 5.3 and PPM was reaching 1800 . The best way to solve this is probably to add plain water into the reservoir to balance the PH and the PPM level. This lady sure loves to produce sugar leaves , i defoliate loads of leaves but the leafs doesn't seem to stop growing out from the buds. I decreased the amount of light per day , I am giving her 11.30 hours of light instead of 12 hrs . I checked light leaks again but still pretty sure that it is not the problem here . The nutes supplier told me to increase the ratio of Superbud blue bud and superbud orange bud so that it can enhance the bud development . This week i got some new nutes from my bro "Master Mine" which i will try out on my next run . PS . Sorry for the high light exposure in the video , i was playing around with my new DJI osmo pocket . Any ideas on how long she's going to take until she's done?
