D21 - Start of week three of veg for the second girl, while it is only the start of week two for the first girl as I had to replant her. I will probably do the first topping on the second girl this week but I'll see in a few days where she's at. I gave both girls around one liter of water @ pH 5.9. A bit on the low side as I used too much pH down but it'll be fine for one watering. D24 - Yesterday I switched my light from the seedlings program to the veg program, and I'm now reading around 500-600 PPFD across the canopy. On the high end for sure, so let's see how the girls handle it. However, the daytime temp in the tent jumped up to around 30 degrees C after I switched the lights. #tinytentproblems I also added some support to #1 as she has a relatively thin stem but large leaves, so the oscillating fan keeps knocking her around. The second girl also initially had a slender stem, so I guess it is their genetics. (#1 is 12 cm tall and 15 cm wide, while #2 is 20 cm tall and 35 cm wide.) I will need to top the second girl this week as she grows a lot each day. I'm considering mainlining her but haven't made up my mind yet. I gave both girls around one liter of water @ pH 6.5. D25 - A couple of days ago, switching the lights to the veg program made the cover crop explode and turn into a jungle. I decided to trim down the red clover to increase the airflow around the girls and reduce water use. I watered the girls only yesterday, but they were already thirsty again, so I think that the clover was drinking quite a bit as well. After cutting back the clover, I gave each girl around 1.2-liters of water @ pH 6.5. D27- Today was the last day in week three of veg for the second girl and the last day in week two for the first girl. I really should have topped the second girl already, so that will need to be done as soon as possible. She is 26 cm tall and 38 cm wide, while the first girl is 13 cm tall and 27 cm wide. Yesterday, I removed the support from the first girl as her stem had gotten more robust, so it was no longer necessary. Today, I started brewing compost tea (worm castings, neem meal, kelp meal, biochar, rock dust, algal limestone, bentonite, and molasses) which I will leave overnight and feed to the girls tomorrow.

💜 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! 🌱💚

Day 17F-24F (Day 19) Man it’s such a shame that bbb#1 stunted out. It was so damn vigorous until it’s most recent feeding. I will make sure to cut back on teas next round as they can be a wild card sometimes. All 5 plants are packing on some serious early frost. But I’m not seeing too much chunk to the buds yet. My other grow that was flipped on the same day has almost no frost yet so that’s a good sign. (Day 21) Big strip today. I will pull off as many leaves as I need to ensure nearly all bud sites are exposed to adequate light. I’m still seeing excess N so I’m going to water in 2 gallons each until I get some runoff. The plants seem to be up taking water pretty decently so I’m going to push it a little with a heavier watering. Wow do the plants look amazing after that strip and flush! Everything is praying up beautifully, including #3 in the back. Let’s hope that gets it back on track now. (Day 22) I want to give a PK boost but all my bloom nutrients have way too much N and I don’t really want to risk it toxing anymore. I could give it a little bit of 0-18-0 bat guano and some 0-0-15 kelp extract but it could be completely unnecessary. I can’t see any signs of deficiencies but a small surplus couldn’t hurt either. (Day 23) I like how the ladies responded to the thorough watering. I will up my watering to 1 gallon every 48 hours from now on. It sucks to see how short bbb#1 is. I was expecting such a huge stretch but it never came because of that fucking tea! I should have leached the medium as soon as I saw stunting. It’s too bad because it definitely had the most potential for yield. (Day 24) I’m starting to think the main problem with bud size this round is all the topping I did early on. Not to mention they were vegging for nearly 3 months. I will try to pick off most of the larf before it wastes anymore energy. I think the ideal style of growing for bud size and veg time is a semi sea of green, or 6-8 plants per 25 square feet. I’m not a big fan of these giant plants as it’s a lot of wasted veg time and smaller bud size overall. The smell is really ramping up!

I'm happy with how these OG's are growing after I topped them last week. I've just turnt to 12/12 and super cropped the main heads that were getting abit tall. I'm working against height on this grow so I need to keep them low to allow for the stretch!

Everything is still going good for this week just giving 6.2 PH Tap water with a bubbler for 24 hours before I fill my Reservoir. July 2 when my lights came back on at 5pm I decided to Defoliate these two girls and add a ScrOG net for some extra support and some tucking for the leaves. July 6th last day of week 8 I took the other two plants in the back out of the tent today so I can flip these to 12 on 12 off.

An Tag 43 und Tag 48 wurden beiden Pflanzen nochmal großzügig entlaubt. Viele Leute sagen "Mach das bloß nicht" und viele Andere sagen "würde ich auf jeden Fall machen". Grade bei den beiden +Speed Auto´s, die sehr klein und buschig wachsen, hielt ich dies für förderlich. So konnte ich sowohl die Lichtmenge für die wichtigen Buds erhöhen als auch gegen Schimmel vorbeugen. Viele LST Schnüre konnte ich bereits entfernen und alles wächst ungefähr in gewünschten Bahnen. Bei der höher gewachsenen Pflanze mache ich mir etwa sorgen wegen den hellen Spitzen der Blätter. Ansonsten entwickeln sich alle 4 Pflanzen ohne weitere Probleme.

3/16: Rain let up for half the day, but more tonight...damnit... They are due for a watering tomorrow, but with the high RH, maybe not... 3/17: They weren't ready for water yet, so I slept for a few bonus hours! (rare) The tall one's biggest 3 colas are starting to thicken...they'll range from 14" to 18" in length. I'd like to see them get to 10" in circumference or better...👈 Rained for most for the day....again... 3/18: I watered them with about 1/2 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, endoboost, humic acid, and a little cha ching. It rained all night again..and most of the day today. I took some photos with the qb's turned off and a 135w 5500k CFL on.. 3/19: It rained all night and several times again today...ffs....I've started building an Ark in my free time 😁 3/20: Rained again on and off today..RH still too high... 3/21: Rained again tonight.. I had to pick up a couple of them while removing a couple of other plants, and they are still heavy. I might be able to wait until Monday to feed again, which might be enough time for me to get the RH back down a little bit. 3/22: Rained again last night several times...and again today for a couple hours...ridiculous. Woke up with RH at 65%!!! Been chatting with other FFT growers and they all seem to be losing a lot of produce to botrytis...I'm starting to freak out..😳

Daily report: Day 1. Watering: NO Stats: Humidity: 70% Temp: 27.2 Notes: I want to see how often should I water Heracles. I fucked up with pH and maybe with watering frequency. I want to fix that. Also set the board to 100%. Day 2. Watering: NO Notes: Defoliation went a bit too aggressive, but it looks fine and I hope that it will help weaker stems to grow faster. I will let Heracles to heal tonight and feed her only tomorrow's morning. Day 3. Watering: 5.7 pH 1550 ppm (1.25 l + CalMag) && 5.8 pH 1320 ppm (2.3 l + CalMag) + 5.7 pH 1120 ppm (1.6 l + CalMag) Total 5.15 l => 5.9 pH 1720 ppm (1.25 l) Notes: This morning pot was completely lightweight and dry. Heracles looks amazing. Day 4. Watering: Night - 5.8 pH 1190 ppm 3.5 l (+CalMag) => 6.0 pH 1890 ppm 0.7 l Notes: New leaves still has yellow marks between veins. I don't know what should I do with that - neither MgSO4 foliar nor CalMag in the mixture helped. Currently 1.5 days is the comfy period for feeding schedule. Day 5. Watering: NO Notes: I found signs of overfeeding (and not only me found that), so next mixture will be less concentrated to let Heracles relax. Also, I bounded all tallest stems to the net to place all the grow spots at the same height. Day 6. Watering: Morning - 5.7 pH 761 ppm 4.5 l (0.75% of Base +CalMag + 1 l of plain water) => 6.1 pH 1750 ppm 1.1 l Notes: I am still trying to create a flat screen of greens. Very excited of flowering stage, it's almost here. But wtf is going on with ppm in drainage?! Day 7. Watering: Night - 5.8 pH 1040 ppm 4.0 l (0.75% of Base +CalMag) => 6.0 pH 1930 ppm 0.8 l Notes: I am run out of a free space in my growbox. Why does not blow starts?

Wedding cheesecake FF by Fast Buds Germination, days: 3 Vega (18/6), days: 35 Flowering (12/12), days: 64 Total, days: 101 Ec 2.5 (Athena bloom, Fade, Cleanse, Balance) Ph 6.1 Red 100% Blue 25% UV 20% DLI ~32 T. Day: ~25C T. Night: ~21.5C Humidity: ~57% T.leaf: 24.5C Week progress. Two slow plants are still lagging behind, the video shows what a variety of phenotypes, it is very difficult to grow. I plan to harvest in a week, afraid that if I'll do not cut then buds will start to turn yellow. I probably won't keep the two lagging plants longer because the box is needed for drying. The smell is similar to sweet strawberries.

Overall pretty happy with the grow, had a little mold issues but humidity was way to high for a while.
