Strain: Purple Haze Automatic [Haze] - by Zamnesia
Number of seeds: 2
Location: Indoor
Time: 01 November 2023 -
Lamp: MIGRO Aray 4
Power (Watts): 240 W
Area: 100 x 200 cm
The seeds were sown directly into the substrate (coir rings) and moistened daily with a small amount of water (about 10ml each).
They both sprouted on day seven.
The next day they were planted into the target 20-liter breathable pots.
I reused the substrate from my previous grow (it was half & half mixture of two BioBizz products: Light-Mix & Coco-Mix) by adding a bit of BioBizz All-Mix.
As a fertilizer this season i decided to try the PLAGRON set.
I also have plenty of natural compost, nettle manure and reliable HESI soil kit on hand - in case something goes wrong.
The seedlings are lit 20/4 with MIGRO LED-lamps & set to 20% power for now.
NOTE:
There are six other plants also in the grow room (besides the Hazes)
· 2 x Auto Afghan Kush [Afghan] - by Seeds Mafia
· 2 x Red Banana Pudding [Banana] - by Anesia Seeds
· 2 x Pink Matcha Slush [Pinky] - by Anesia Seeds
Eight plants in total - 4 autos and 4 photos. Their arrangement is shown in the picture.
~ 1st week ~
In that first week the plants were watered twice (0.25 l of water each) and they developed their first true leaves.
At present, the humidity in the room is about 70% and the temperature - around 22°C.
The large Blaupunkt fan oscillates a strong breeze and the lamps run 20/4 with a low power of 20%.
Plants are about 10 cm tall and doing fine.
~ 2nd week ~
This week (just like in the previous one) the plants were watered twice (0.25 l of water each).
They developed second deck of true leaves.
Currently Haze-1 is 9 cm, and Haze-2 is 8 cm tall.
At present, the humidity in the room is about 70% and the temperature - around 22°C.
At the end of the week i increased the power of lamps to 60 %.
Plants are doing fine.
~ 3rd week ~
The next (third) week passed without any interruptions.
The plants have developed a third layer of leaves and side shoots are emerging.
Halfway through the week the plants were measuring:
Haze-1 - 13 cm tall,
Haze-2 - 10 cm tall.
The humidity in the room is currently about 60% and the temperature - around 22°C.
The plants are fine.
~ 4th week ~
Another (fourth) week went smoothly.
The plants have already developed five levels of leaves, and the side branches are developing nicely too.
Halfway through the week the plants were measuring:
Haze-1 - 23 cm tall,
Haze-2 - 16 cm tall.
I still water the plants twice a week, but i have increased the water amount to 0,5 liters per plant.
At the end of the week i also increased power of lamps to 80 %.
The humidity in the room is still about 60% and the temperature - around 22°C.
The plants are doing well.
~ 5th week ~
Both Hazes (just like Afghans) started to flower at the beginning of this week.
They are two phenotypes - one taller sativa-type, and other shorter and bushy (indica-type).
I rearranged the plants a bit for better lighting and increased power of lamps to 100 %.
Also i changed nutrients for blooming phase.
The plants are fine.
~ 6th week ~
I had a lot of work this week renovating my house and little time and conditions for photography. I also had some business to do in the city, so i wasn't home for a few days (the plants were thirsty and yearning). So, not many photos this time - sorry.
Hazes (just like Afghans) bloom elegantly - distinct, densely spaced buds with long hairs are formed. Long side shoots with multiple buds.
The leaves are a healthy dark green with slightly purple veins and stems. They have drooped slightly, and the largest leaves in the lower parts have turned slightly yellow (due to water shortage - i will compensate them for it soon).
A delicate perfume scent appears in the air. Nice.
~ 7th week ~
Hazes are getting more purple.
Two phenotypes - one tall and slim, the other short and stocky.
They are 58 and 44 cm high, respectively.
Both have many side branches and bloom profusely.
They emit a lemon smell and look beautiful.
~ 8th week ~
Hazes bloom profusely - more and more long-haired flowers appear on long branches.
Drops of resin visible to the naked eye. Nice view :)
They have a lot of appetite now, so i water them every day, half a liter.
Look healthy.
~ 9th week ~
Hazes have stopped growing taller, but are developing wider and sideways.
They are 60 and 45 cm high - smaller than Afghans (which surprises me a bit).
Just like Afghans, the flower hairs are turning red, but new flowers keep coming.
The larger leaves began to turn purple - a sign of autumn (and hence the name).
I changed the lighting time to 12/12.
The plants are beautiful and healthy.
~ 10th week ~
Nothing special happened this week, actually.
Except that the buds drastically gained mass and with it more shiny resin drops appeared.
Plants look excellent.
~ 11th week ~
Hazes, like Afghans, ripen beautifully - the buds are large, abundant and full of resin.
There are also many colors - green, yellow, white, red, brown, purple and pink.
Rainbow garden :)
From what i see, the harvest will be coming soon (probably next week), so i stopped fertilizing and only give water (in small amounts).
The plants are doing great.
~ 12th week - HARVEST ~
Hazes (just like Afghans) seem to be very ripe - they have large, dense and hard buds covered with a thick layer of resin.
Most of the large leaves fell off on their own. The ones that remain are multi-colored, with purple predominating - they are also full of resin.
Plants emit an intense citrus-musky scent.
Cut close to the ground and hung whole on strings in a dark and well-ventilated drying room.
They will hang like this for 2-3 weeks, and then i will probably make hash out of them.
Growing was trouble-free, easy and very pleasant.
Seems that smoking will be similar :)
