Week 2 - Purple Haze Pheno B 💜🌿 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 8×8 Adventure! As always, this project follows individual phenotypes from seed to harvest under a 12/12-from-seed schedule, allowing us to document how each plant develops its own personality despite sharing the same genetics. This week we’re checking in on Purple Haze Pheno B. And while her sister may have stolen some attention with her near-perfect symmetry, this phenotype is quietly proving that she belongs in the conversation too. ⸻ Week 2 Overview The room continues progressing beautifully as the plants settle into their final containers and establish themselves after transplant. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week: • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 27°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 55% • Solution Temperature: 20.1°C • Substrate Temperature: 21°C • CO₂: Ambient (~600 ppm) Lighting intensity was gradually increased to approximately 370 µmol/m²/s during the week. Watering schedule: • Day 8 – 250 ml • Day 11 – 250 ml Week-ending nutrient values: • EC: 0.9 mS/cm • pH: 6.0 Current feeding schedule: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Overall, the room continues responding extremely well to the current environment. ⸻ Living Next to a Superstar Growing sibling phenotypes side by side can be both exciting and dangerous. Exciting because you get to observe subtle differences. Dangerous because comparisons become unavoidable. Purple Haze Pheno A has been exceptionally symmetrical from the beginning, but that doesn’t make this phenotype any less impressive. In fact, when viewed on her own merits, Purple Haze Pheno B is developing into a fantastic young plant. Healthy. Vigorous. Well-structured. And showing exactly the kind of growth you hope to see during this stage of development. ⸻ Thriving After Transplant Like her sister, this phenotype appears to have settled comfortably into her new container. The transplant process caused no visible setbacks. Growth continued. Leaves expanded. The canopy widened. And the plant immediately resumed pushing new development from the center. That’s always encouraging to see. A smooth transplant allows the plant to focus its energy on growth rather than recovery, and Purple Haze Pheno B appears to have taken full advantage of that opportunity. ⸻ Bird’s-Eye Beauty Several photographs this week were captured from directly above the canopy. These top-down perspectives provide one of the best ways to evaluate early structure. And what they reveal is a plant that’s developing extremely well. The node spacing remains compact. The growth tips are healthy and active. The canopy is opening nicely. And every new set of leaves appears larger than the last. The symmetry may not be quite as textbook-perfect as her sister’s, but the overall structure remains balanced, attractive, and highly functional. Most importantly, she’s building exactly the type of framework needed for strong future growth. ⸻ Bigger Every Day One thing that stands out throughout this week’s photo series is how quickly this plant is filling out. The early leaves continue expanding while new growth emerges rapidly from the center. This creates a plant that feels larger than its measurements alone might suggest. Every new photograph shows a little more confidence. A little more leaf mass. A little more presence. And that’s exactly what we want to see during this stage of the adventure. ⸻ Healthy Color, Healthy Growth The foliage remains vibrant and healthy throughout the plant. Leaf color is consistent. Growth remains active. And the plant continues displaying the rich green coloration associated with strong overall health. There are no obvious signs of stress. No signs of hesitation. No indications that she’s struggling to keep pace. Instead, she appears completely comfortable in her environment and eager to continue expanding. ⸻ Building Her Own Identity One of my favorite aspects of growing multiple phenotypes is watching their personalities slowly emerge. At this stage, the differences are still subtle. But they’re there. Purple Haze Pheno B may not mirror her sister perfectly, and that’s exactly what makes this process interesting. The goal isn’t to find identical plants. The goal is to discover how each phenotype chooses to express itself. And every week adds another piece to that puzzle. For now, what we’re seeing is a healthy, vigorous young plant building a strong foundation for the weeks ahead. ⸻ The Importance of Observation This week’s photographs also captured some of the tools that help keep projects like this running smoothly: • Calendar tracking • Whiteboard notes • Room monitoring • Environmental observations • Daily garden management A successful garden isn’t built from memory alone. Recording watering events, feeding schedules, transplant dates, observations, and environmental changes creates a history you can learn from later. The more plants you manage, the more valuable that information becomes. Good notes often become one of the most powerful tools a grower owns. ⸻ Mr. Baggy Report Mr. Baggy was once again spotted performing routine inspections throughout the facility. Responsibilities included: • Plant morale supervision • Environmental oversight • Weekly photo assistance • Security patrols • Looking suspiciously productive while doing almost nothing His employment remains secure. ⸻ Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect to see: • Continued canopy expansion • Larger fan leaf development • Increased stem thickness • Strong root establishment • Faster vegetative growth • Further phenotype expression The foundation is already looking strong, and if this momentum continues, Purple Haze Pheno B should become an impressive plant in her own right. ⸻ Final Thoughts Week 2 has been another excellent week for Purple Haze Pheno B. She loved the transplant. The canopy continues expanding. The foliage remains vibrant and healthy. And the overall structure is developing beautifully. Sometimes growing siblings side by side creates unfair comparisons. But when I look at this plant, I don’t see a second-place phenotype. I see a healthy young Purple Haze building her future one leaf at a time. Strong. Vigorous. Beautiful. And absolutely deserving of her own spotlight. A huge thank you to everyone following along and supporting this project. Special thanks to Zamnesia, Plagron, Future of Grow, and all partners helping make this adventure possible. And as always, thank you to the community for joining me on this journey from seed to harvest. Growers Love and see you all next week for another update from the 8×8 Adventure. 💜🌿✨

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grows First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this CBD Fast Eddy plant from Royal queen seeds will turn out. CBD Fast Eddy Automatic is combining Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis, Fast Eddy is a rapid growing, flavourful, and CBD-rich auto strain that goes from seed to harvest in 8-9 weeks, produce generous yields, and induce a clear, mellow, and most importantly, functional high. THC: 9% CBD: High Yield Indoor : 400 - 450 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 80 - 130 gr/plant Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 80 - 120 cm Flowering: 6 - 7 weeks Harvest month: 8-9 weeks after sprouting Genetic Background: Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis Type: Sa 50% In 40% Ru 10% Effect: Clear, Painrelief Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-20. These girls are much slower to germinate and to start growing than the other 6 girls I started at the same time. One of the germinated seeds split in half, so I had to take a new seed and germinate it. It took 2 days. It was just a smal taproots after germination with this strain as opposed to my Fastbuds cbd. But I hope everything goes well from now and that they live up to their name, Fast Eddy. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08-21. New pics. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-22. Nr1 dident make it and died. Started germinate a new seed to get another Nr1. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-27. Nr 1 is in a small pot in humidity dome and i hope shes going to break the surface soon. Nr 2 is slow but doing fine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr2 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls Nr2. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added a movie. Everything is looking great right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-08-31. 3 New pics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-01. New pics and a video of the grow room from today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-04. Week 2 starts now, new pics. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-05. KL 08.00. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. KL 12.00. The girl got 2 liters of water with nutes in it, added a video. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-06. KL 08.00. The girls woke up after their beauty sleep, the leaves are always a bit down after 6 h of darkness, but they will stretch now when the HPS lamp starts. Everything looks good and I keep trying to tuck the leaves so they get the maximum amount of light where needed. Added pics and video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-07. Day 17 from sprouting. I have never tested PH in my grows, when growing organic in soil iv learned that it adapt PH by it self. But im curious by nature so i had to test. Kl 10.00 Tested PH in the soil, it was 6.9 and tested my tap water and it was 6.8. Added video of the girl. Kl 22.30. New pics. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-08 KL 08.00. Good morning, added new video. 2017-09-08. Kl 23.50.

What's up Growmies🤟🏽 Week #7 of flowering is officially in the books. This is my last and final week of this run even though based on the Trichromes I think another week maybe 2 would be way better. However I have a new bigger tent and equipment and I'm excited to grow some strains from generous breeders. Hello week #8🙌🏾🙌🏾 Each of the strains I'm growing say 8 week flowering time with 2 saying 8 to 10 weeks. Right now Id say they have an 80 to 20 trichrome ratio with the 80 being cloudy and 20 being amber, but not on all of them. Some are mostly cloudy with a few clear trichromes. I am feeding them plain water ph'd to 6.6 I haven't given her nutes the last 2 weeks just about, just plain water. This may be partially to blame as to why the fan leaves shriveled up so badly, coupled with missing their watering by 2 days twice on consecutive weeks🤦‍♂️🏽. It's a wonder these ladies are still kicking. All in all it has been a great experience with these plants. Stay tuned for the chop💪🏾. Until then my friends, Happy growing and may the grow goddesses bless you all with a bountiful harvest!!

They’re all doing well. Seems like the #4 bag is using less water than the others. I added the Spider Farmer Drip irrigation system. It’s set to trigger when the average is 25% water content.

The smell on this one is next-level for real! I got 2–3 different phenos, but they all carry that same loud scent I’d describe it as sweet and fruity I honestly can’t wait to smoke it, and judging by the insane layer of trichomes she’s rocking, I already know she’s gonna hit hard.😝😝

Now I’m trying to LST this girl

Just cut them down. They were a blast to grow! Big ones clones are going to be even better! I will update with a dry weight, and smoke report after 3 week cure.

Another week is over. I've been a bit short on time and this week has been really busy, but here we go... it seems to be fine, except for some of the leaves looking a bit burnt and yellow, probably due to the increased nutrient load in the last few weeks. They've been eating a lot and the smell is really delicious. Happy growing! 🌱🌱🌿

So where I live we had a really bad storm it had knocked out my power for a full 24 hrs so I had to give them some extra attention to insure there was no mold or any pest with no fan rotation. Then I also had to put them back on there proper timer to get things back on a roll so far so good they still look and smell amazing wish me luck

Smells like new shoes lol I think I made a decent haul off 315 Watts the buds look frosted and I can’t wait to dry some. I knew what to expect in the coming weeks and if I run this again I think I’ll keep the plants shorter like last time. Highly recommend this Indica strain to anymore looking to make dry ice hash or solvent less! I’ll do the weigh in shortly0

Brothers and sisters farmers. My job here is over! the only one and only reason why I prolonged the late release of the end-growth report is just because this plant really deserves !!!!! Strain super super super fantastic !!! I was really struck by everything that is what these powerful super beans have. From growth to smoked! 10/10 Beautiful frosty and rocky nuggets .... mmh just like Peaky His odor is ..... amazing .... and the gems inside show purple nuances. I will still update you on the smoke of these magnificent dolls. Stay on the piece Greetings to all of you, fantastic Weed friends Happy and abundant harvesters

She's being grown without any training method,just 100% natural and organically grown,in her soil mix she has guanokalong seaweed powder,complete organics and grow and flo by florians living organics which is full of humic and fulvic acids and 10 different types of mycorrizae and beneficial fungus,plus I'm watering with guanokalong extract and also my lactobacillus liquid made by myself,she looks super happy and green,she's definitely a big lady and she loves her house 😍💚🌱 #organicmedicine ✌️

Northern Lights is really starting to take off. She's growing so fast, and her leaves are finally getting that deep, dark green color I love. I can almost imagine her soaking up all that beautiful sunlight. I think I'll need to repot her soon, this pot's looking a little cramped. I can't wait to see how big she gets by the end of the summer!

Grown it many times, clear favorite. Sweet baked gas, spicy, hashy, some have a subtle smooth lemon sherbet aftertaste. Relaxing happy and mellow effect. 22-28% Rosin return

Week 2 —— Wednesday: Day 8 —- Started blues main nutrient feeding. She seem to be loving life at the moment. Getting bigger by the day. Run off:30% Run off ph: 6.1 Run off EC 2.4 I believe the run off ec is so high is because the coco mix I used is pre blended with charge. The reason I think this is today feed was the highest EC I’ve done and that was 1.5 EC. —- Day 9 —- Increased her base nutrients by .5ml/l it added an extra 0.3 ec that yesterday feed, but the sound of the medium Snap crackle and popping it quite relaxing. Is this the zen water at work? Final EC: 1.8 Run Off: 27% Run Off PH: 6.0 Run Off EC: Still way over what it mean to be but it’s going down, I still believe it’s too do with Ecothrive Charge being in the coco already. Blue looking very healthy even tho the high ec run off. —- Day 10 —- Feed: 900ml PH: 5.8 EC: 2.0 Run Off: 275ml Run Off %: 27 NOTES: Looking healthy as usual. —- Day 11 — Feed: 900ml PH: 5.7 EC: 1.8 - Run Off Amount: 220ml %: 24 Ph 6.4 Notes: All is well in the garden this morning. Still trying to bring the run off ph down to 5.8 during veg. Still the ec of the run off is still stupid, read somewhere re top dress on week 4, which I’m not as not using charge. So touchwood it would of sorted itself out. Blue look like she enjoying the feed mind. —- Day 12 —- Just the same as yesterday just bigger. Today going to start to research how to lst etc and to see if can find out what EC charge is at. —- Day 13 — Feed: 1l PH: 5.7 EC: 2.0 Note: Thought today was the best time to start to use my base nutrients at full dose. Not much new to report but starting to enjoy waking up just to see how much she has grow. She has started to lean one side so I have proped her up with a plant label stick. —- Day 14 — Water: 2L PH: 5.8 EC: 2.0 Notes: Seem to be enjoying the nutrients. She looks very healthy. Roll of week 3 as think maybe to start of her lst training

Tropicana Cookies is looking amazing! Really happy with the progress on this one.
