9 weeks complete

The drying process lasted 14 days and I'm in the 2nd week of curing, I've already tried some buds and neither the smell nor the taste are great, the taste and smell of both phenotypes is lemon.

Just waiting it out now. No added nutrients, just water. Bubba and Black Dog have exceeded their expected flowering time, and both are at 95% cloudy with 5% or so still clear. Chemdawg and The New can take up to 70 days or more so we’ll see if they’re late too. Bubba is a foxtailing machine. It was one weekend in early Flower when heat/humidity got out of hand while I was away for 3 days. She hermied a bit and I’ve had my eye out for bananas ever since (find a few every so often). Taking a risk to keep her in the tent with the others but if I catch them early enough the others should be ok. Interestingly I found a YouTube video of a guy that ran bubba and had the same foxtail development (also the same scent description and look overall). Nothing like the gorgeous fat purple budded girl I had last year but the citrus smell on this lime green bud pheno/version is impressive. Curious to see how the smoke compares. Scent combo from all four plants is amazing!

and that's the end.. they are very stinky.. the whole room smells like fruit. break the flower to reveal some shades of purple.💜💜 I'll come when they're dry!😎✌️🏾

Hey hey, had to drop the purple pheno… she’s a herm and if I want seeds, I want to do it with stable genetics. Second one still running but it isn’t purpl

Bueno Farmers un error por ni contar la época de Pre-Flora entramos ahora semana 2 de flora, ya empieza salir la resina...sobre todo la Royal Gorila. No podremos pasar a led de momento próximamente mas novedades compañeros!🍁

That’s a male 😢

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 11 | The Little Frosty Queen Is Starting to Fill Out ❄️💜👑 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And our little Purple Haze Pheno B... She's still not in a hurry. 😂💜 But she's moving. And honestly? That's enough. Because when I look at her this week, I don't see a plant that's standing still. I see a plant that's slowly, steadily, beautifully building herself. She's still one of the smaller girls in the room. She's still compact. She's still very different from her sister. She's still doing everything in her own particular rhythm. But now... I'm starting to see something I really like. She's getting fatter. 👀💜🌸 The flowers are beginning to gain more structure. The plant is starting to look more substantial. And that beautiful frost that has been one of her defining characteristics? Still absolutely everywhere. ❄️❄️❄️ So this week... let's give our little Frosty Queen the spotlight again. Because she deserves it. ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 11 – MOVING FORWARD, HER WAY ──────────────────────── Last week we talked about how she wasn't exactly moving fast. And honestly... that hasn't suddenly changed. 😂 She's not going to wake up tomorrow and decide: "Right, boys and girls, I'm going to catch up with everybody." That's not her personality. She's moving at her own pace. But she's moving. And that's the important part. The flowers are developing. The structure is becoming more obvious. The buds are starting to gain some additional size. And the overall plant is slowly becoming more substantial. She's not exploding. She's not racing. She's simply progressing. One little step at a time. And I actually really enjoy watching that. Because not every plant needs to be dramatic. Some plants tell their story quietly. And this girl? She's definitely a quiet storyteller. 💜🌿 ──────────────────────── 🍑 THE LITTLE BUSH IS STARTING TO GET FATTER ──────────────────────── Okay... THIS is the part I'm particularly happy about this week. She's starting to fill out. 😂🌸 When you look at her structure now, there's a little more substance developing around those flowering sites. The flowers are becoming more defined. They're beginning to gain some volume. And the plant is starting to look less like a collection of individual flowering points... and more like a flowering plant with an actual structure developing around them. That's a really nice transition to watch. Because earlier in the run, so much of her identity was: "She's small." "She's compact." "She's the little bush." And she still is. But now we're starting to add another description: She's the little bush... that is beginning to fill out. 👑💜🌸 And I like that very much. ──────────────────────── ❄️ STILL SUPER FROSTY ──────────────────────── And then... there's the frost. 😂❄️ This girl has absolutely not forgotten what she's good at. She remains one of the most visually frosty phenotypes in this room. The trichomes continue to give the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves that beautiful sparkling appearance. And the closer you look... the more there is to see. It's almost funny. She may not be the largest plant. She may not have the biggest flowers. She may not be moving at the fastest pace. But then you put the camera on her... and suddenly: "Whoa." 😂📸❄️ There she is. The little Frost Queen. And that's something I really love about phenotype hunting. A plant doesn't have to dominate the room in size to stand out. Sometimes one particular characteristic becomes so strong that it creates an entirely different identity. And with this girl... that frost is definitely part of her identity. ──────────────────────── 👭 TWO SISTERS – COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORIES ──────────────────────── This is where Purple Haze Pheno B becomes especially interesting. Because her sister... Purple Haze Pheno A... is moving quickly. She's stacking. She's developing. She's got that "don't blink" energy. 😂🔥💜 And Pheno B? She's looking at her sister and saying: "Good for you." 😂 "I'll get there when I'm ready." And honestly... I love it. Same genetic line. Same room. Same lighting. Same general environment. Same 12/12 schedule. Same nutritional foundation. And yet... completely different plants. Pheno A has her own expression. Pheno B has hers. One is giving us speed. The other is giving us compact structure and frost. And neither one needs to become the other. That's exactly what makes this experiment so interesting. ──────────────────────── 🌿 VERY DIFFERENT – AND THAT'S THE POINT ──────────────────────── Sometimes people hear "same genetics" and expect the plants to look almost identical. But that's not what we're seeing here. Not even close. These two girls share their genetic family... but they've expressed themselves very differently. Pheno A has that more balanced, fast-moving flowering architecture. Pheno B is shorter. More compact. Denser in her own way. And increasingly defined by that heavy frost. Looking at them side by side is almost like looking at two different interpretations of the same idea. Same genetic language. Different accent. 😂💜 And that's why I love having both of them in the same 8×8. The room becomes the constant. The genetics become the variable. And the plants tell us the rest. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE STRUCTURE IS STARTING TO SPEAK ──────────────────────── This is probably the other big observation for me this week. Her structure is becoming easier to read. Earlier, there were plenty of little flowering sites. Now we're beginning to see how those sites relate to one another. The flowers are starting to occupy the structure more clearly. They're becoming more substantial. And the plant is beginning to show us what that compact architecture is going to look like as flowering progresses. She's not stretching dramatically. She's not trying to create huge vertical distances. She's building within the space she has. And I think that's beautiful. She's making her own little world. Compact. Dense. Frosty. And increasingly full. 💜🌿🌸 ──────────────────────── 🚶‍♀️ SLOW DOESN'T MEAN NOTHING IS HAPPENING ──────────────────────── This is something I want to emphasize because it's easy to look at a slower plant and think: "She's not doing much." But look closer. She's changing. The flowers are developing. The structure is becoming clearer. The buds are gaining volume. The resin remains extremely visible. The plant is continuing to work. She's simply not doing it at the same speed as some of her neighbours. And that's okay. Actually... it's fascinating. Because the 8×8 Adventure isn't about making every plant race toward the same finish line. It's about watching how each plant gets there. Some sprint. Some jog. Some walk. And some apparently stop for coffee along the way. 😂☕🌿 Purple Haze Pheno B? She's taking the scenic route. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS – HER OWN INTERPRETATION ──────────────────────── And once again... the room hasn't changed specifically for her. We're still working with the same upgraded lighting setup. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room. We've reduced their output to approximately: 💡 ~59% power from the plug giving us around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And this girl is receiving those same photons as everybody else. The photons don't care whether she's fast. They don't care whether she's compact. They don't care whether she's the little bush. They arrive. Her leaves intercept them. Her photosynthetic machinery uses that energy. And she decides what to do with it. 😂☀️🌿 And apparently... she's decided to build a very frosty little plant. ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE CAPABILITY – CONTROLLED OUTPUT ──────────────────────── I continue to really like the lighting setup we've created in this room. The additional fixtures give us more capability without requiring us to run them at full power. That's important. We're not chasing maximum output simply because the equipment can provide it. We're creating flexibility. More available light. More ability to distribute photons across the canopy. And then controlling the intensity to where we actually want it. Approximately 59% from the plug. Around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. And the plants are responding in their own ways. That's the interesting part. Same light. Different biological response. And Purple Haze Pheno B is definitely showing us her own interpretation. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE CAMERA STILL LOVES THIS GIRL ──────────────────────── Honestly... I think this girl is becoming more and more fun to photograph. 😂📸❄️ Why? Because she has so much detail. She's compact enough that there are flowers everywhere within a relatively small space. And when you start looking closely... there's frost everywhere. You move the camera. Another flower. Another patch of resin. Another little structure. Another angle. Another detail. It's almost like exploring a tiny forest. And that's what makes macro photography such a beautiful part of this project. From a distance: "Small flowering plant." Through the lens: "Excuse me... what is THIS?" 😂🔬💎 There's always something hiding in the details. ──────────────────────── 💎 THE FROST IS STILL HER SIGNATURE ──────────────────────── If I had to describe Pheno B with one visual characteristic... it would be frost. ❄️💜 It's simply one of the first things I notice. The resin-covered sugar leaves. The sparkle around the flowers. The little crystalline structures catching the light. It gives the plant a completely different appearance from her sister. And I think that's what makes her so memorable. She doesn't need to be the tallest. She doesn't need to be the fastest. She's got her own signature. And that signature is getting increasingly obvious. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ FEEDING – SAME ROOM, SAME FOUNDATION ──────────────────────── As with the rest of the room, we've made the same nutritional adjustment this week. 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjusted as required Current solution values remain around: ⚗️ pH – ~6.02 ⚡ EC – ~2.14 mS/cm And again... we're not creating a special feeding strategy simply because she's moving more slowly. We're watching the plant. We're looking at her overall development. We're keeping the room consistent. And she's continuing to move forward. That's enough for me. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 11 ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h Same room. Same environment. Same general care. Different phenotype. And once again... that's the experiment. ──────────────────────── 🌿 LET HER TAKE HER TIME ──────────────────────── I'm really enjoying this stage with her because there's no need to rush. She's not showing us that she wants to sprint. So why would we force her? She's developing. She's building. She's getting fatter. She's getting frostier. She's becoming more defined. That's enough. Sometimes growing is about knowing when to intervene. And sometimes it's about knowing when to leave a beautiful plant alone. With Pheno B... I'm very happy to let her continue doing what she's already doing. 😂🌱 She knows her rhythm. ──────────────────────── 🌸 SMALL PLANT – BIG PRESENCE ──────────────────────── This girl is a perfect example of why I don't like judging a plant purely by size. She's not enormous. She's not filling the entire vertical space. She's not trying to dominate the tent. But she has presence. You notice her. And when you get close... you really notice her. 😂💜❄️ She's beautiful. She's frosty. She's compact. She's becoming fuller. And she's developing her own very distinctive flowering structure. That's enough to make her interesting. More than enough. ──────────────────────── 🔬 ANOTHER WEEK OF PHENOTYPE HUNTING ──────────────────────── Every week, this experiment gives me another reason to appreciate genetic variation. Two Purple Haze girls. One room. And yet... look at them. One is moving quickly. One is moving more slowly. One is building a different architecture. One is staying compact. One is developing a different overall flower expression. And Pheno B is showing us something particularly beautiful: You don't need to rush to make progress. Sometimes slow development creates its own kind of beauty. And I think we're starting to see that now. ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? ──────────────────────── That's the question. How much more will these flowers fill out? How much more structure will become visible? How much more resin will she develop? And will her pace remain slow... or will she decide to surprise us again? 😂💜 I honestly don't know. And I'm perfectly happy with that. Because we're not here to force the answer. We're here to watch it happen. Week by week. Photograph by photograph. Flower by flower. And right now... the story is beautiful. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN ──────────────────────── Week 11. Purple Haze Pheno B. Still not fast. Still not tall. Still not trying to be her sister. And honestly? Thank goodness. Because she's beautiful exactly as she is. 💜❄️👑 She's moving forward. She's beginning to get fatter. Her flowering structure is becoming more obvious. The resin remains one of the most impressive characteristics of this phenotype. And her compact architecture gives her an identity that's completely different from Pheno A. Same family. Different expression. Same room. Different story. Same photons. Different response. And that's exactly why we're doing this. The 8×8 Adventure isn't about creating twelve identical plants. It's about giving different genetics a shared stage... and watching what they decide to do with it. Purple Haze Pheno B has decided: "Keep me compact. Keep me frosty. And I'll get there when I'm ready." 😂💜❄️ Fair enough, girl. Take your time. Build your flowers. Fill out your structure. Keep catching those photons. And keep showing us just how beautiful your particular expression can be. Because this little bush? She's becoming one hell of a beautiful little bush. 👑💜🌿❄️🔥 So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's not compare her against anybody else's clock. And let's simply enjoy watching this frosty little Queen become more and more herself. ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share them with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple Haze genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover two such different expressions from the same genetic family. Thank you to Plagron for the growing media and nutrition supporting the room. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 This adventure continues to show us just how different plants can become when they're given the same general environment. And Purple Haze Pheno B? She's proving that she doesn't need to be fast. She doesn't need to be tall. She doesn't need to compete with her sister. She's got her own rhythm. Her own architecture. Her own personality. And her own beautiful frost-covered story. 💜❄️👑 She's getting fatter. She's getting more defined. She's still moving forward. And she's still shining. So let's give this little Frost Queen her moment. Let's let her shine. Let's keep those photons flying. And let's see how much more this beautiful little girl has left to show us. Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where one sister races, the other takes the scenic route, and both somehow manage to make us stop and stare. 😂💜👑❄️

🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

all nutrients are in ger section. in round about one month it is harvest time, if she keeps going as well as she already did. hst and cutting sunleafes seems not to harm her too mutch.

It was very easy to grow this plant, she did everything by herself. The results are amazing, the taste is absolutely stunning and one joint is enough to be stoned for the rest of the day.

These 3 Gelato auto are part of a 30 plant SOG project, in this diary we will only focus on this fantastic strain as you can see, this is Gelato auto by fast buds grown with nothing but FLO (living soil blend) mixed up with the soil and water 💦, let's see what type of flavors we are going to find! Stay tuned for this one! 👨‍🌾❤️💚

had some lockout issues due to the pk booster.. i never use pk boosters. live and learn.

This girl came out a monster, overall very easy and nice strain to grow 💪 The smell coming out of her is trully amazing

8/5 -Fed both plants with bloom nutrient solution. Lowered the concentration of nutrients by 1 mL/gal--14 mL/gal seemed to be too concentrated. -Cream Cookies is just exploding with growth. As she gets older she's getting much less sensitive to things like watering--super healthy looking. -Ca deficiency spots have not worsened or spread which is exactly what I was looking to see. Last week I raised the pH of the nutrient solution to 6.25 immediately after seeing those deficiency spots--nutrient solution pH was too low and consequently locked out calcium. Fixed the issue and the plants are doing amazing. -Cheese has seemed to stopped explosive vertical growth and instead focusing on flowering. Going to do some more defoliation this week to bring the light down under the canopy. -Cream Cookies canopy was beginning to become uneven with respects to even height-some heavy LST was done on all of the nodes (>10) to again even out the canopy height. Cream cookies is going to go through its second stretch very soon. 8/6 -Cream Cookies is going through a hardcore stretch. Going to do some LST once the super stretching subsides. -Cookies is filling out and I have a feeling is going to go through another stretch soon. -Plants still look extremely healthy--really amazing how hearty these plants are. -The time lapse videos I've been making have been hugely helpful in identifying patterns in the plants' growth. It helps me identify when any drooping is just part of the normal day/night cycle of the plant. Its also really cool to see how it grows over time. -Fed both plants with 500mL nutrient solution 8/7 -Both plants responded to the most recent watering extremely well. The droop was no where near as substantial as past feedings. Makes me feel confident in nutrient solution concentration. Im not going to increase concentration of nutrient solution past 13 mL/gal. -LST done on Cream Cookies--some nodes were stretching and creating an uneven canopy. LST done to even out the canopy. -Defoliation and LST done on Cheese. Defoliation was done to allow for some light to penetrate the canopy and get to the lower bud sites. 8/9 -Both plants continue to absolutely thrive. They are both doing amazing. Great color. No issues so far. They are loving the nutrients, as am i. -Cream cookies is really really wanting to stretch to the stars right now which is kind of annoying since it makes making a even canopy rather difficult. -LST done on Cream cookies to even out the canopy. Pretty extreme LST--branches bent almost 90 degrees. -Cheese is a slow but steady grower. Seems to be focusing a lot on undergrowth rather than stretching which is good. Im hoping the main cola branches will be evenly distributed. -Cream cookies looks to have around 10 main cola nodes now. FIMing created 4 and LST brought the undergrowth nodes to the canopy. So very extremely happy with the FIM method. I personally don't even consider it a "High-Stress" training. Sure you cut the main stalk of the plant but its not like you are damaging the roots. Just new growth. ITs like a scrape for the plant, it just slaps a bandaid on and focuses on other growth instead. Super efficient training method. -Ive been doing defoliation around once a week to keep some breaks in the canopy to get light down into those node sites under the top of the main cola branches. -Cream cookies is around 2 inches taller than Cheese is with the evened out canopy which might become a problem as I continue to raise the lamp. Cream cookies is really stretching. 8/10 -Plants look amazing as always -Cheese raised 3' and put on "stilts" -Lamp raised back to 18 inches. -Both plants watered with 500mL nutrient solution -Cream cookies canopy FINALLY evened out. -Cheese LST evened the canopy out very well. Very happy with results.

I've turned the light up to 35000 lux. Up'd the bloom to 1.5ml/l. There still stretching and could do with more room but there doing well 😎
