DogDoctorOfficial # Purple Haze by Zamnesia | Pheno B 🌱💜
## Germination Week | Another Chapter Begins
Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱
Welcome to another new journey.
As some of you may have noticed, I've recently adjusted the way I document my grows. With the current photo limitations on GrowDiaries, each phenotype now receives its own dedicated diary rather than sharing a single journal with its sisters.
This allows me to continue documenting every stage of development while selecting the best photographs from each week and keeping everything properly organized.
The goal remains exactly the same as always:
To create an honest, educational, and complete record from seed to harvest while sharing observations, successes, mistakes, lessons learned, and everything in between.
Today, we begin following Purple Haze Pheno B.
A sister to the previous phenotype, but with her own story still waiting to be written.

## A Classic Name Returns
Some cultivars need no introduction.
Purple Haze is one of those names that has echoed through cannabis culture for decades.
Whether through cultivation, history, music, or simple curiosity, it remains one of the most recognizable names in the community.
And while two seeds may come from the same package, every phenotype has its own personality waiting to emerge.
That is one of the reasons I enjoy documenting individual phenotypes.
The similarities are interesting.
The differences are often even more interesting.
For this run, we're following Purple Haze from Zamnesia Seeds, cultivated under a 12/12 from seed schedule from the very first day of life.
A method that is a little different from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my own cultivation style over time.
Throughout this diary, I'll explain not only what I'm doing, but also why I'm doing it, allowing anyone interested to follow the process from beginning to end.

## Germination Using the Cannakan System
To begin this run, I once again used the Cannakan germination system.
The design is simple and practical.
Multiple cultivars can be germinated simultaneously while remaining separated, organized, and clearly labeled.
For growers working with several genetics at the same time, it becomes a very convenient way to keep everything under control.
The seed was placed inside using only plain water.
No nutrients.
No additives.
No stimulants.
Just water.
Within approximately 24 hours a healthy taproot had emerged and the seed was ready for the next stage.
Exactly what we hope to see from healthy, vigorous genetics.
---
## Why Only Water?
One question that often appears during germination is:
"Why not feed the seed immediately?"
The answer remains simple.
The seed already contains everything required for its first stage of life.
Inside that shell are the energy reserves needed to establish roots and begin development.
At this stage, I prefer allowing the seed to use those natural reserves exactly as intended.
The objective is not to feed the plant.
The objective is simply to wake it up.
Water is enough.
Nature has already done the hard work.
---
## First Experience Using Coco Starter Plugs
This run also marks my first experience using coco starter plugs.
The plugs were fully hydrated and then gently squeezed to remove excess moisture while maintaining a healthy balance between water retention and oxygen availability.
Once germinated, the seed was carefully inserted into the plug and placed inside a humidity dome.
The dome remained useful for only a short period.
Within less than 24 hours the seedling had already emerged and was ready to continue growing.
At that point, she was transplanted directly into a small container filled with Plagron Lightmix.
---
## Environmental Conditions
Environmental conditions remained intentionally simple and stable.
Temperatures stayed around 26–27°C.
Humidity was maintained between approximately 65–70% using a Spider Farmer humidifier.
Rather than keeping seedlings inside extremely humid conditions for extended periods, I prefer introducing them relatively early to the environment they will actually experience throughout their life cycle.
The goal is adaptation.
Not dependence.
Airflow remained extremely gentle.
Just enough movement to keep fresh air circulating without creating unnecessary stress.
---
## Lighting
Lighting during germination remained intentionally soft.
Young seedlings simply do not require intense light levels at this stage.
The goal is healthy establishment rather than rapid growth.
Once properly established, this girl will move under the Future Of Grow Black Series 600W full-spectrum LED system where the next stage of development begins.
For now, healthy roots and healthy growth remain the priorities.
---
## First Observations
Everything has progressed exactly as hoped so far.
Fast germination.
Healthy taproot.
Strong emergence.
Healthy color.
Good vigor.
And perhaps most importantly:
A healthy start.
At this stage every phenotype is still an unknown story waiting to reveal itself.
That mystery is part of what keeps growing exciting no matter how many seeds we plant.
---
## Looking Ahead
Over the coming weeks we'll follow Purple Haze Pheno B through every stage of development.
We'll document:
- Root establishment
- Early growth
- Environmental management
- Watering practices
- Structural development
- Flowering behavior
- And whatever unique characteristics this phenotype chooses to reveal
Because every seed begins with potential.
And every phenotype deserves the opportunity to tell its own story.
Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along for another seed-to-harvest adventure.

DogDoctorOfficial Purple Haze Auto by Zamnesia 💜🌱
Week 1 Vegetation | Quiet Confidence
Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱
Welcome back to another week in the garden.
Today we’re taking a closer look at Purple Haze Auto – Pheno B, the second representative of this legendary cultivar and a plant that, from the very beginning, seemed determined to remind me how much variation can exist even between sisters sharing exactly the same environment.
As always, the goal remains unchanged:
To document every stage honestly, share observations as they happen, and follow each phenotype individually from seed to harvest.
And while her sister showed a little more quirkiness during her first days above ground, Pheno B decided to take a slightly different approach.
She simply focused on growing.
⸻
The Same Foundation
Just like every plant in this project, Purple Haze B was transplanted directly into her final 15-liter container filled with Plagron Lightmix.
The entire run follows a 12/12-from-seed methodology, so minimizing root disturbance remains one of the priorities from the very beginning.
Rather than moving through multiple container sizes, each plant receives its final home immediately, allowing roots to establish naturally and continuously throughout the cycle.
The objective is simple:
Less interruption.
More momentum.
And during this first week, she appeared to settle in extremely well.
⸻
Environment
Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week.
🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C
🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C
💧 Humidity: 55%
🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C
☁️ CO₂: Approximately 600 ppm
Lighting was provided by the Future Of Grow Black Series LED system delivering approximately 350 PPFD under a 12/12 light schedule.
Because the plants receive only twelve hours of light per day, total Daily Light Integral remains lower than what would normally be delivered under an 18/6 schedule, allowing seedlings to adapt comfortably to stronger light levels without excessive daily exposure.
Judging by her posture throughout the week, Purple Haze B seemed perfectly comfortable under those conditions.
⸻
Nutrition
The first irrigation consisted only of water, allowing the seedling to establish itself naturally within the substrate.
After several days, a gentle feeding schedule was introduced using:
• Plagron Terra Grow
• Plagron Power Roots
• Plagron Pure Zym
• Plagron Sugar Royal
All applied at light concentrations appropriate for young seedlings.
At this stage the objective remains root development, healthy establishment, and steady progression rather than aggressive growth.
Strong foundations first.
Rapid growth comes later.
⸻
First Week Observations
Purple Haze B had a very smooth first week.
From the earliest photographs she displayed healthy color, balanced growth, and a structure that became increasingly symmetrical as the days progressed.
What immediately stands out when comparing her to her sister is how uniform her development appears.
The leaves expanded evenly.
The internodes remained compact.
Growth stayed centered.
And every new set of leaves emerged looking increasingly organized and well-defined.
By the end of the week she had already developed beautiful three-finger leaves and displayed the classic seedling architecture growers love to see during early vegetative growth.
One of the things I enjoy most about documenting separate phenotypes is noticing these small differences.
Both sisters are healthy.
Both are vigorous.
Yet each one already expresses that vigor in its own way.
Pheno A carried a little more youthful unpredictability before finding her rhythm.
Pheno B simply arrived looking composed from the start.
Neither is better.
Just different.
And that’s exactly what makes phenotype hunting so enjoyable.
⸻
Looking Ahead
Week one was all about establishment, and Purple Haze B handled it beautifully.
Roots are expanding.
The plant is adapting to her final container.
Nutrition has begun.
Growth is accelerating.
And the foundation for the weeks ahead is now firmly in place.
While it’s still far too early to predict what characteristics she may express later in life, her first week suggests a healthy, balanced, and very promising plant.
Sometimes the loudest plants are not the ones that impress the most.
Sometimes it’s the quiet confidence of steady, consistent growth.
And that’s exactly what Purple Haze B delivered this week.
