Week 5 Day 1: The smells are starting, they’re starting to chunk up from a week ago. The chem is definitely larger than the rest, but the Durban is doing its regular thing and making hard nugs. I haven’t done anything except tuck and defo large shading fans. Just on cruise control. I fed with the above amounts 2 days ago which is that same as suggested for week 5. I’ll be adding the overdrive in week 6 and see what that does. The Shishkaberry is a little lack luster in size but we’ll see she goes and the Dutch is stacked up pretty nicely with some crowding between the nets. All in all getting more pistils, size and trichs every day so nothing to complain about. Happy Growing 🌱 Update: W5 D4- So I opened up one of the ovules from each plant and there are tiny seeds inside, does anybody else have that or does that mean I have seeds again. Also, starting to have a bit of a leaf tip burn but not sure what the reason is yet.

Well day 64 here I believe shes ready in my opinion. A little early but I switched her to 24 hour lighting a week ago and had her out in the sun the last 3 days. Today she basks in the sun in all of beauty and wonderful aroma. This strain is without a doubt the most gorgeous to me and the smell is outstanding! Check back next week for a flavor report and my review of the strain! She should dry for me well in a week sadly a severe drought here so I'll be keeping it hanging whole. Check back next week to see how she tastes & her mesmerizing array of affects! Remember its 4:20 somewhere!!!!!!

So this week is the start of flower !! Woooohooo finally get to show what I'm made of ! Step one ) take all the big fan leaves Step two ) establish a "light line" and take all small shoots that are unable to get the proper amount of light due to their distance from the top of the canopy. * These are the places we all wish would grow ! These are also the places that are at risk of - hermaphroditism - mold - waste of energy for the plant. ** These are also some of the best places to take clones ** Continue to tie and secure everything in preparation of massize buds ! I hope some people looked at this like " This took way too much off " I took ALOT. Yes I push , I push hard to know how much they can take . Yes I would say 60% of plants DO NOT like a massive defoliating. But, the ones who do , you will unlock a yeild like never seen . It's the risk we take . One thing I have noticed is when I'm gonna defoli , I don't combone high stress or toping + a bunch of other techniques . Should have some pretty huge plants by two months ! Thanks for stopping by more notes and pictures to follow . First week of flower was a great success!!! Unfortunately I did have covid this week so my pictures weren't exactly where I would want them . For these genetics, it's crazy , they haven't been topped or LST'd and yet they are growing flat at the top ! *** I did have covid this week so my pictures weren't exactly up to par. So I'll do my.best to make it up with notes , - this week very little flower stretch that is definitely a plus for people who want medium sized bushy plants . Not saying that this one won't stretch but so far there has been very little stretching . - there are ALOT of nice shoots throughout the canopy, plenty of places to take clones *** this genetic clones very well so that is another thing to note ! So great clonability . The end of week one I have seen very little stretching , in my opinion these could all be considered S1 . It interesting, even with no topping or training these plants NATURALLY grow FLAT! so for all you Screeners out there this is a primal genetic for that !!! In to week two !!! Here We Go !!! -------------------------- Find these world class genetics at : https://www.exoticseed.eu/products/exotic-animal#:~:text=What%20is%20Exotic%20Seed's%20Exotic,be%20cultivated%20indoors%20and%20outdoors.

🍑 Passion Fruitz by Zamnesia — Week 8 | The Slowest Girl in the Room Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! If you've been following Passion Fruitz from the beginning, then by now you've probably realized something about this girl. She doesn't like rushing. While the other ladies in the room have already moved much further into flowering, Passion Fruitz continues to play the same card she's been playing for weeks: "I'm a very slow-growing plant." 😄 And honestly... I have to admit it. She's a slow plant. But she's a beautiful slow plant. 🌱 Still Playing the Slow Card All of these plants are the same age. They were all started under the same 12/12-from-seed concept. They're sharing the same room, the same environmental conditions, the same lighting strategy, and the same general feeding approach. Yet Passion Fruitz has decided that she's going to write her own timetable. Compared with the rest of the room, she is clearly delayed. Her transition into flowering has been considerably slower, and even now, the development of her flowers is progressing at a very measured pace. But what's fascinating is that she doesn't look like a plant that's struggling. Quite the opposite. She's green. She's vigorous. She's structurally strong. She's producing healthy new growth. She's simply taking her sweet time deciding exactly when she's ready to commit to flowering. And that makes her one of the most interesting phenotypes in this entire project. 🌿 Slow Doesn't Mean Weak Standing at approximately 72 cm, Passion Fruitz isn't the tallest plant in the room. But she's built herself into a remarkably dense and compact bush. Her stems have become thick and strong, her side branches are well developed, and the amount of healthy foliage she's carrying is impressive. Looking at her structure now, I keep thinking about what this plant might have looked like if she had been given several weeks of conventional vegetative growth before being placed under 12/12. She clearly has the ability to build. She simply chose to spend a very long time building herself before deciding to flower. And now we're finally beginning to see the consequences of that decision. ✂️ Time to Clean House This week I decided to give her a little bit of a challenge. Since Passion Fruitz isn't particularly large and flowering development is still moving slowly, I decided it was time to remove some of that excess vegetation underneath. I gave her a proper defoliation and lollipop, cleaning away lower foliage and branches that I don't want competing with the upper part of the plant. The objective wasn't to strip her down just for the sake of stripping her down. It was about directing the plant's resources toward the areas that matter most from here forward. With a relatively compact plant like this, I want her energy and structure concentrated toward the upper canopy rather than maintaining a large amount of lower growth that may have limited value later. And after the cleanup... Wow. She looks clean. 🌱 A New Shape Emerging The transformation is particularly obvious when looking underneath the canopy. The lower stem and branch structure is now much easier to see. The main stem is thick and healthy, with strong lateral branches coming away from it. Removing the lower vegetation has also opened the plant considerably, allowing much better visibility through the structure. From above, she's still incredibly leafy and full of life. But underneath, we've created a much cleaner framework. Now we wait. I'm very curious to see what she decides to do with that newly opened structure. Will she finally begin accelerating her flowering? Will the upper branches develop into stronger flower sites? Or will she simply look at me and say: "Nope. I'm still taking my time." 😂 Knowing Passion Fruitz... I wouldn't bet against option three. 💚 The Colour Says Everything One of the things I absolutely love about this phenotype is her colour. She remains incredibly lush and green. The new growth is vibrant, the mature leaves are healthy, and there is a beautiful contrast between the darker established foliage and the bright green emerging growth. The macro photographs really show this beautifully. The fresh growth almost looks luminous against the darker leaves surrounding it. For a plant that has spent so much time outside the flowering timeline of the rest of the room, she certainly hasn't been sitting around doing nothing. She's been building. And she's built herself a very impressive little machine. 💡 12/12 From Seed — The Experiment Continues This is exactly why I enjoy running the entire project under 12/12 from seed. If every phenotype behaved identically, there wouldn't be nearly as much to learn. Instead, we're seeing just how differently plants can interpret exactly the same environment. Some transition quickly. Some stretch aggressively. Some remain compact. And then there's Passion Fruitz... She looked at the 12/12 schedule and apparently decided: "I'll get there when I get there." 😂🍑 That genetic variation is one of the most valuable parts of this entire adventure. The goal isn't to force every plant into the same shape or timeline. It's to observe what each phenotype naturally wants to become. And Passion Fruitz is making that lesson impossible to miss. 💧 Feeding & Consistency This week I'm continuing with the Plagron flowering nutrition strategy. The current mix is: Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Power Buds — 1 ml/L Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Lemon Kick — 0.03 ml/L, used for pH adjustment when required The measured solution was around EC 2.0 mS/cm, with a pH of approximately 6.0. I'm keeping the strategy consistent rather than trying to force flowering by dramatically changing the nutrition. She's already shown us that her timeline is genetic. There's no point trying to bully her into flowering. We'll give her what she needs... And let Passion Fruitz decide when she's ready. 💡 Light & Environment The environment remains stable and consistent with the rest of the 8×8 Adventure. Current conditions: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 21°C 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm 💧 Watering: 1.3 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 15 L 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 The consistency of the environment remains particularly important in this phenotype hunt. Because when everyone receives essentially the same conditions but one plant behaves completely differently... that's when genetics starts telling the story. 🌿 Under-Canopy Lighting The Lumiflora under-canopy lighting also remains part of this experiment. Passion Fruitz is particularly interesting here because she has maintained such a large amount of lower vegetation for so long. Now that we've cleaned the lower section, we'll have an even better opportunity to observe how the remaining branches respond to that additional light. I'm especially curious about the relationship between her upper canopy and the newly exposed lower structure. This is another one of those variables that may become much more interesting as flowering finally progresses. 📸 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs might be some of my favourites of Passion Fruitz so far. The full-plant images show just how dense this girl has become despite her relatively modest height. The overhead photographs reveal an incredibly broad canopy. The macro images show the beautiful contrast between mature leaves and the fresh, vibrant new growth. And then there are the stem photographs. Those are particularly satisfying. Once the lower foliage was removed, you can really appreciate the structure she has been quietly building underneath all that green. Thick main stem. Strong branches. Healthy nodes. A very solid framework. She's small... But she's definitely not fragile. 🔮 Looking Ahead And now comes the interesting part. We've cleaned her up. We've removed the lower growth that was no longer contributing to the structure we want. We've opened the plant. And we've left the upper canopy with the majority of the healthy growth. Now we wait to see what she does. I'm hoping that as flowering continues to develop, we'll start seeing more obvious flower formation throughout the upper canopy and a little more momentum from this famously slow phenotype. But I'm also realistic. I've learned by now that Passion Fruitz doesn't care what I expect. She has her own schedule. So I'm not going to rush her. I'm going to watch her. Document her. And let her show us what she can do. Because sometimes the phenotype that takes the longest to reveal herself ends up being the one you remember the most. 💚 Thank You Another week, another lesson from the 8×8 Adventure. Passion Fruitz continues to remind me that growing isn't about making every plant behave the same way. It's about understanding that every phenotype has its own personality. Some sprint. Some stretch. Some explode into flower. And some... take their sweet time. 🍑😄 A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing such an incredible platform where growers from around the world can document, learn, share, and inspire. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics that made this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron — for supplying the nutrition supporting this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the lighting powering the project. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain a stable and controlled environment throughout the grow. ✨ Lumiflora — for providing the under-canopy lighting and giving us another variable to explore throughout this experiment. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along. Every comment, question, message, and bit of support makes this adventure even more enjoyable. Passion Fruitz may still be behind the rest of the room... But she's healthy. She's beautiful. She's building. And she's finally starting to show us where this story might be going. Slowly. Very, very slowly. 😂🍑 But that's okay. Because in the 8×8 Adventure, we're not here to rush the genetics. We're here to let them speak. See you next week for another chapter of Passion Fruitz. Growers Love, and happy growing everyone! 🌱🍑💚

Ab geht es in die 2. Woche PPFD wert wird auf 225-250 hochgeschraubt Lux wird von 7k auf c.a 8.500 - 9.000 in 18H angepasst Lampenabstand bleibt vorerst gleich da die Blätter sich meiner Meinung nach hervorragend ausprägen. Temperatur wird Tagsüber zwischen 25 und 27 Grad maximal gehalten bei einer konstanten Luftfeuchtigkeit von 65%+ Heute am dritten Tag der Woche habe ich mich dazu entschlossen die Ladys in ihren finalen Topf zu Pflanzen, da mir dies öfters geraten wurde und ich leider diesen Fehler von Anfang an hätte vermeiden sollen. - Falls ich nochmal zu Automatik greife, werde ich diese direkt in den finalen Topf geben - Gute 48h nach dem Umtopfen ist ein deutlicher fortschritt am Blattwerk zu sehen, meiner Meinung nach haben sie das Umtopfen bisher gut überstanden

So that’s the end of week 3 and starting week of week 4 , this week has been a roller coaster as you can see the plants have took a bit of a beating I think it’s due to lack of nute as I though I was over feeding but turns out I’m not watering enough but the new growth looks amazing so hopefully everything will be okay now

End of week 5 took out that big ugly plant that took up a shit ton of room .. wasn’t expecting such a big yield decrease but hey shit happens. The single Nanaz I have left though is killing it super big beautiful buds! I have 2 Snowcandy’s that look amazing and got the white truffle lineage buds are golf balls and smell like straight peanut butter! The trichomes from them make your hands literally stick together . The other 2 snowcandys are the runts of the litter and are throwing like no weight out but still good quality at least !

Got a hold of CAL-DORA and DORA-MAG. It’s what’s available in my area and I think it will do the job concerning my plants CAL-MAG needs. As the days progressed I kept up with my defoliation technique. The main cola did everything to stay up but I had to keep it at bay. So far so great! This all boils down to learning and enjoying while doing it. Looking forward to the coming weeks Happy growing 💚💚💚

Cosecha adelantada pero bien rematada 💜✂️ La Biscotti Gelato venía fuerte, bien engordada y con esos morados que enamoran. Asomaron unas flores macho y tocó decidir rápido: cortar para mantener calidad y terpenos. Al final, compacta, resinada y con ese toque dulce-cremoso tan suyo. A veces la planta marca el ritmo… y hay que saber escucharlo. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪🌱🔥

Hello Sisters&Bross. Now I added Nori seaweed to the super Homemade Fertiler. I will make an infusion with plantain and spinach skins to add. All to promote the flowerin. I wathered 1 time whit the Homemade Fertilizer. The use of brewer's yeast in the fertilizer mix brings greater biodiversity to the substrate. The molasses, adds a significant amount of micro and macro nutrients. Thus I try to promote a developmenton soil. I friend make me a video of the firts moth. Enjoy it! Goodbye folks!

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 7 | Strong Genetics, Beautiful Consistency Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the most rewarding aspects of documenting every individual phenotype is seeing just how differently sisters can express the very same genetics. Some stretch a little more. Some flower a little faster. Some develop slightly different branching patterns. Yet every now and then, you find two sisters that seem to be following almost the same blueprint. That's exactly what has happened with Purple Haze Pheno B. She may not be quite as tall as her sister, but looking at them side by side, it's impossible not to appreciate how similar they are. Strong structure. Beautiful colour. Healthy foliage. Balanced branching. To me, that's a wonderful sign of stable, well-selected genetics. 🌱 One Project. One Environment. Twelve Unique Stories. If this is your first time following the diary, welcome! This entire grow 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 very first day, every seed has received exactly 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 plant receives special treatment. No individual feeding. No different environmental conditions. The only variable inside this room... ...is genetics. Watching those genetics unfold week after week continues to be one of the most enjoyable parts of this entire project. 🌿 Healthy Plants Build Great Harvests Purple Haze Pheno B continues to impress me with her overall health. She carries herself with confidence. Her leaves are broad, vibrant and beautifully green. Every branch feels sturdy. The canopy remains nicely balanced without becoming overcrowded. She may not be the largest plant in the room, but she's certainly far from the smallest. Instead, she's developing into a wonderfully proportioned plant that seems perfectly comfortable in her environment. Sometimes growers become too focused on height. Personally, I care much more about overall health. Healthy roots. Healthy leaves. Healthy branches. Everything else is built on that foundation. And this lady is giving me every reason to smile. 🌸 The Flowers Continue Their Journey Week 7 marks another important step in her flowering development. Across every growing tip, fresh white pistils continue emerging from small clusters of calyxes. Those white hairs, known as pistils, are the female reproductive organs of the flower. Outdoors they exist to capture pollen. Inside the grow room they become one of the clearest signs that flowering is progressing exactly as nature intended. Beneath those pistils sit the calyxes. Each tiny calyx is one of the individual building blocks that eventually forms the finished flower. As the coming weeks unfold, more calyxes will develop, stack together and gradually swell, transforming these delicate flowering sites into the dense, resin-coated colas we're all hoping to see. The foundation she's building now will determine the harvest she'll produce later. 🍃 Gentle Training, Natural Development One thing I've continued throughout this grow is allowing the plant to keep as many healthy leaves as possible. Rather than aggressively defoliating, I've relied mostly on careful leaf tucking to expose developing bud sites while allowing the plant to keep producing energy naturally. Healthy fan leaves are incredibly valuable. They're responsible for capturing light and converting it into the energy needed to build flowers. When the canopy already has excellent airflow and good light penetration, there's often little reason to remove perfectly healthy foliage. Sometimes the smartest thing we can do as growers is simply let the plant do what it evolved to do. 💧 Feeding for Flower Development As flowering progresses, nutritional demands naturally begin shifting toward flower production. This week's feeding schedule includes: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L Provides the phosphorus and potassium needed to support healthy flower development and continued growth. • Power Buds – 1 ml/L Helps encourage the plant to transition its energy toward producing more flowering sites. • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L A bloom enhancer designed to support flower density, resin production and overall plant performance during the later stages of flowering. • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Supports the plant's natural production of sugars and aromatic compounds that contribute to flavour and terpene development. • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L Contains enzymes that help break down dead root material, keeping the root zone healthy and improving nutrient availability. • pH adjustment using pH Plus and Lemon Kick Maintaining the correct pH ensures nutrients remain available for efficient uptake throughout the flowering cycle. Every plant in the room receives this exact same feeding schedule, allowing each phenotype to respond according to its own genetics. 💡 Lumiflora Under-Canopy Lighting Another exciting part of this project continues to be the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting. Traditional grow lights naturally favour the upper canopy, leaving lower flowering sites with much less usable light once plants become dense. Under-canopy lighting helps reduce that imbalance. Its goal isn't to replace the main fixture. It isn't a miracle product that suddenly doubles yields overnight. Instead, it provides additional light to the lower parts of the plant, helping secondary flowering sites remain productive while reducing the need for excessive defoliation. As the flowers continue developing over the coming weeks, I'm looking forward to seeing just how much difference this extra layer of illumination makes. 🌡️ A Stable Environment Makes Everything Easier Like every plant in this room, Purple Haze Pheno B continues benefiting from stable environmental conditions. Current grow room conditions include: • Flower Week 7 • Height: 100 cm • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 24°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Stable conditions allow the plants to dedicate their energy toward growing flowers instead of constantly adapting to environmental changes. Consistency truly is one of the biggest advantages a grower can provide. 📷 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs capture a phenotype that looks wonderfully comfortable in her environment. The close-up images highlight healthy clusters of fresh white pistils emerging from every flowering site, while the wider photographs showcase her balanced branching and exceptionally healthy foliage. Comparing her with her sister has been fascinating. They're clearly individuals. Yet they're also remarkably similar, which speaks volumes about the quality and stability of the Purple Haze genetics from Zamnesia. Sometimes consistency is every bit as exciting as dramatic variation. 🔮 Looking Ahead During the coming week I expect flowering to continue accelerating. The stretch should gradually begin slowing, while the calyxes continue stacking and the first real signs of bud bulk begin appearing. I'm also excited to continue observing the effect of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting as the canopy fills out and lower flowering sites receive additional illumination. If she continues growing the way she has so far, I expect another week of calm, healthy progress rather than explosive change. And honestly... I'm perfectly happy with that. Healthy plants don't need to rush. They simply keep improving one day at a time. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Projects like this remind me every single week that growing isn't about forcing plants to become identical. It's about giving every phenotype the same opportunity and appreciating the unique story each one chooses to tell. Purple Haze Pheno B continues proving that healthy, balanced growth is something worth celebrating all on its own. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document their journeys, learn from one another and build this incredible community. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the outstanding Purple Haze genetics behind this phenotype hunt. 💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light powering this entire project. 🌿 TrolMaster for maintaining the stable environment that allows every phenotype to perform at its very best. ✨ Lumiflora for bringing an exciting new dimension to this grow through their innovative under-canopy lighting technology. And finally... Thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions and sharing this journey with me. Every week these plants continue teaching me something new. And Purple Haze Pheno B is reminding me that sometimes the most impressive plants aren't the ones growing the fastest... They're the ones growing beautifully every single day. Growers Love! 💜🌿
