This week was a busy one in the gardens! After a 7 day dry my harvest from last week was ready to come down! It did dry out a little quicker than I'd like, but still went in the jar around 57% and still smells really terpy and not like hay. I kept the humidity around 50-60% in the dry room however I didn't supplement humidity with a humidifier, i do have an ACI humidifier, but I didn't wanna run it in the summer and accidentally mold the crop! I just ran my dehumidifier at that setting so maybe it got a little dry in there! I trimmed all 5 plants in one day to prevent over drying in about 13 hours. I used a trim bin, trim brush by canna brush and a normal pair of springed shears. I'm curing in Mason jars now. I was able to move the plants in the tiny Mars Hydro Clone tent to my flowering tent. My Vivosun 4x8x6, under my HLG Blackbird at setting 1 to get adjusted. This week I'll get my par meter back from my grow bro and get a good reading. Im going to be transplanting these plants to their final containers as soon as I hit the local grow shop and grab a little more soil! After that I'll adjust the par for full veg and let them really rage! It feels good to finally get some space for them. My larger tent is way better equipped ventilation wise as well, I have 4 clip fans and my 8 inch exhaust fan in there. I currently have the tent sitting at 74-71°F and 56% Humidity. Ethos: Lilac Diesel #22 (x) Grandpa's Cookies #7- This Seedling has a decent internode spacing between it's branches and is keeping them mostly even with very little low stress training. I have been bending the top most branches to help the plant get a little bushier! It's leaves are very dark and doing a little clawing so I'm holding off on the Trinity by Roots Organic! It doesn't appear to bad! It's main stalk is very thick and reminds me of Raspberry Ripple #1! When it's in veg! I'm excited to see if this plant is one I'll keep around or not! I'm definitely hoping it's stretch in flower is containable in my shorter space! Raspberry Ripple Clones (#1 and #2)- The Number One Phenos are looking beefy already, one plant is starting to yellow just a little bit and looks like it could use a transplant here soon! Other than that these ladies are raging as usual. The higher ppfd has kept them really bushy and symmetrical. The Number 2s are still looking really healthy but are the smallest plants in the garden as usual! Finished Flowers (Raspberry Ripple #1 and #2)- This harvest definitely hits a lot harder than my last one! Having the microscope to really get a good look at my trichomes and pushing the plants and extra two weeks really made a big difference! Ripple #1- These buds are big and purple! Decently frosted! The leathery, black licorice smell Ripple #1 gives off, is really strong this round! The harvest weighed 7oz 25 grams, 6 oz and 16 grams of "A" Nugs, and 1 oz 9 grams of popcorn buds! Ripple #2- The Ripple #2 is a little less dense than the #1 but it is pretty frosty and smells like a mixture of yogurt and hazy weed. This harvest weighed 5 oz 20 g, 4 oz and 6 grams of decent sized nugs and 1 oz 13 grams of popcorn nugs. Giving me a total harvest of 13 oz and 17 grams, 10 oz and 20 grams of "A" nugs and 2 oz and 23 grams of popcorn nugs. In a 4 x 4. That pretty much sums up the harvest and this week! Thank you for checking out my growdiary! -Starfish

Just started this one off... Not much to say so far. This is a coco grow. I started off with an amended Coco using Gaia Green 4-4-4 and power bloom 2-8-4.

Everything is going well! Already want to try this baby, there's already a lot of sugar. And when do you start tasting your popcorn at the bottom of the branches? :)

Flowering day 73 since time switch to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) Finally the time has come . The lady was harvested and hung upside down in the dry tent 😍. Before that, she stood in the drying tent in complete darkness for 2 days and the large leaves were removed. The small leaves stay attached during the drying process so that they protect the buds and allow them to dry more slowly and evenly :-) . In the dry tent, the temperature is 18-19.5 degrees and the humidity is 54-58% 👍. In this environment they are now allowed to hang for 10-14 days before they are fine-tuned and trimmed clean by hand. then after trimming they come to ferment for 6-12 weeks in dark jars with bobeda packs 62% to keep the perfect humidity. After a few weeks, the Boveda packs 58% are used so that they can slowly dry out :-) . Of course there is one last update after trimming. Until then, I wish you a lot of fun with the update.

En 2 semanas aproximadamente ya estarán listas... Buenos humos para tod@s... 💨💨🤗😱 🇦🇷😎💀

Deep Forest Auto is doing good. She is stretching more and starting to do some stacking for flowering. I started to give some of the blooming nutrition in her last feed. I did some selective defoliation and she is due for some more lollipopping very soon. Everything is looking great. Thank you Medic Grow, Doctor's Choice, and Gen1:11. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Ende Blütewoche 8. Duft ist krass, ist mein zweiter Phäno der Pineapple Express. Der Duft ist fast identisch. Wuchs war etwas unterschiedlich, die Buds werden fetter und fetter. Zudem hat Sie eine dunkle lila/schwarze Farbe angenommen. Auch hier Ernte in circa 2 Wochen.

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 8 | Let Her Shine Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Eight weeks into flowering, Purple Haze Pheno A continues to prove that sometimes the best thing a grower can do is simply step back and let the plant speak. And this girl has plenty to say. She's green. She's vigorous. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's covered in healthy foliage. And honestly? I have very little to complain about. While some of the other girls in this room have recently received defoliation to improve light penetration and airflow, Purple Haze Pheno A is taking a different path. For now, I'm leaving her exactly as she is. She's leafy, yes. But she's also healthy. And there's an important difference. So this week, rather than forcing her into a particular shape, I'm going to let her shine exactly as she wants to. 🌱 One Room. One Method. Twelve Different Personalities If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! The entire 8×8 Adventure is built around one fascinating experiment: 12 different genetics. One environment. One growing method. One nutritional strategy. Every seed in this room was placed directly under a 12/12 light schedule from seed. There was no long traditional vegetative period. Instead, the plants were given the opportunity to reveal their genetic personalities under the same conditions from the very beginning. The same: • Plagron nutrition • Future of Grow Black Series lighting • TrolMaster environmental control • AutoPot irrigation • Soil • Temperature • Humidity • Light schedule • General care There are no favourites. No special feeding. No individual environmental adjustments. The variables are intentionally kept as consistent as possible. The biggest variable left in the equation is genetics. And Purple Haze Pheno A is showing us a personality that is becoming increasingly easy to recognize. 💜 Purple Haze Is Finding Her Rhythm Some phenotypes announce themselves immediately. Others take time. Purple Haze Pheno A feels like the second type. She hasn't been the tallest girl in the room. She hasn't been the fastest. She hasn't needed to dominate the canopy. Instead, she's quietly developed into one of those plants that becomes more impressive every time you look at her. The colour alone is beautiful. Her foliage has that deep, rich green that immediately catches the eye. The leaves remain large and well developed, with strong petioles and excellent overall structure. And then you look underneath that foliage... …and the flowers are there. Lots of them. Healthy flowering sites developing throughout the plant, with increasingly defined bud structure and plenty of visible resin production. She's not screaming for attention. She's simply doing her job. And doing it beautifully. 🌸 Week 8 — What Is Actually Happening? This is an interesting point in the flowering cycle. By Week 8, we're no longer looking at the early formation of flowers. The plant has already made that transition. Now the focus increasingly shifts toward flower maturation, calyx development, resin production and overall bud density. The plant is still photosynthesizing aggressively. Those large fan leaves are still important energy-producing organs. The flowers continue developing. The calyxes continue swelling. Resin production becomes increasingly obvious. And the plant gradually begins moving from building the structure of the flowers toward finishing and ripening them. But there's an important distinction here. Week 8 does NOT automatically mean "harvest soon." A calendar tells us how long the plant has been flowering. It doesn't tell us exactly when the plant is finished. Different genetics mature at different speeds. Different phenotypes within the same genetic line can also mature differently. That's exactly why we're watching the plant rather than simply counting weeks. 🍃 And What Week 8 Is NOT Week 8 also doesn't automatically mean: "Remove all the leaves." This is something I think is worth documenting because this girl provides a perfect example. There is a tendency to think that once flowering reaches the later stages, a plant should automatically be stripped down. But defoliation is a tool, not a flowering requirement. If a leaf is healthy, photosynthetically active and contributing to the plant, its size alone isn't a reason to remove it. Purple Haze Pheno A is certainly leafy. But look at her. The flowers are developing. The foliage is healthy. The plant is not showing obvious signs that it is struggling under its own canopy. So why interfere? For now, I'm choosing not to. 🌿 Let Her Be This is probably the biggest lesson from this week's update. Not every plant needs the same intervention. Some of the girls in the 8×8 Adventure have benefited from defoliation. Purple Haze Pheno A isn't one of them—at least not yet. Her natural architecture is working. She's producing flowers throughout the plant. She's maintaining excellent colour. She's maintaining healthy foliage. And most importantly, she doesn't look like a plant asking me to solve a problem. So I'm not going to create one. I'll continue monitoring airflow, humidity, light penetration and the development of the lower flowering sites. If the plant gives me a reason to intervene, I'll respond. But until then... she gets to be herself. 💡 The Light Reaches More Than Just the Top The addition of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues to make this experiment particularly interesting. Traditional top lighting naturally gives the upper canopy the greatest photon exposure. As plants develop, the lower portions can receive considerably less usable light. The under-canopy lighting gives those lower areas another source of illumination. And this is exactly where I want to observe rather than assume. Will the lower flowers continue developing strongly? Will flower density become more uniform throughout the plant? Will the additional light allow me to maintain more foliage without compromising the lower canopy? These are the questions that make this project so interesting. We're not simply trying to produce a harvest. We're observing how different phenotypes respond to the same ecosystem. And Purple Haze Pheno A is giving us another opportunity to learn. 💧 Feeding This Week The nutritional strategy remains consistent with the flowering program. This week's feeding includes: • Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L as required • Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L as required The goal at this stage isn't simply to push more and more nutrition. It's about maintaining a balanced environment where the plant can continue performing without unnecessary stress. Purple Haze Pheno A is responding beautifully to the current strategy. Her foliage remains strong. Her flowers continue developing. And visually, she is telling me that she's comfortable. That's exactly what I want to see. 🌡️ The Environment Consistency remains one of the strongest foundations of this entire project. Current conditions: • Flower Week: 8 • Height: 120 cm • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Day Temperature: 29°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 60% • pH: 6.0 • EC: 2.0 mS/cm • Solution Temperature: 22°C • Substrate Temperature: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm • Pot Size: 15 L • Watering: 1.2 L per plant / 24h One of the things I particularly enjoy about this project is that these numbers aren't being adjusted specifically for Purple Haze. She is living inside the same ecosystem as the other phenotypes. And she's responding beautifully. 📸 A Closer Look at Purple Haze The photographs this week really tell the story. The wide shots show a plant with a strong natural structure and a considerable amount of healthy foliage. The closer photographs reveal something even more interesting. Her flowers are becoming increasingly defined. The resin coverage is becoming more obvious. Pistils are beginning to transition in colour while fresh white pistils continue appearing across the flowers. And those sugar leaves are already carrying an impressive layer of trichomes. This is one of those plants where you can look at a photograph and immediately understand why I keep saying: She's beautiful. Not because she's the biggest. Not because she's the tallest. Not because she has been aggressively trained. Simply because everything appears to be working together. 💚 The Beauty of Not Interfering There's a strange discipline involved in growing plants. Sometimes we think we're supposed to constantly do something. Trim something. Tie something. Remove something. Change something. Adjust something. But growing also teaches you when not to touch the plant. Purple Haze Pheno A is currently giving me that lesson. She's telling me: "I'm good." So I'm listening. I'm going to continue observing her canopy, her flowers, her environment and her overall health. If she needs something, I'll respond. If she doesn't... I'll let her shine. 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should become increasingly interesting. Flower development will continue. The calyxes should continue swelling. Resin production should become even more apparent. And eventually, the conversation will shift from building flowers toward determining when those flowers are actually mature. But I'm not going to rush that process. We're going to watch the plant. We're going to watch the flowers. We're going to watch the trichomes when the time comes. And we're going to let Purple Haze Pheno A tell us when she's ready. For now, she's still working. And she's doing a beautiful job. 💜 Let Her Shine Week 8 has given me something I really appreciate about phenotype hunting. Not every beautiful plant needs to be manipulated into looking beautiful. Sometimes the genetics already know what they're doing. Purple Haze Pheno A has developed into a lush, healthy and increasingly impressive plant. She's leafy. She's vigorous. She's green. She's producing flowers beautifully. And right now, I don't see a reason to change that. While some of her sisters have gone through defoliation, this girl gets to remain in her natural state for a little longer. Because this isn't about making every plant look identical. It's about discovering what each phenotype wants to become. And Purple Haze Pheno A? She's becoming something very special. So for now... No unnecessary intervention. No stripping just because the calendar says Week 8. No trying to force her into someone else's shape. Just observation. Patience. And appreciation. Let's make this girl shine. 💜🌿 🙏 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure. Every week this project becomes more fascinating. Twelve plants. One environment. Twelve completely different personalities. That's the beauty of growing from seed. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document, learn and share. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the Purple Haze genetics that allow me to explore this phenotype. 💜 Plagron for the nutrition supporting this entire project. 💡 Future of Grow LED for providing the lighting driving the canopy. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain the stable environment behind the scenes. ✨ Lumiflora for bringing under-canopy lighting into the experiment and giving me another variable to observe. And finally, thank you to everyone following along, commenting, asking questions and sharing the journey. Every plant has a story. Purple Haze Pheno A is writing hers slowly. Beautifully. And without asking for much attention. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do... is simply step back and watch. Growers Love! 💜🌿

Day 91 — Just loving these little ladies — SO CUTE Vibe: 😍😘 Weekly Avg Readings — Lights 24/0 - Level 10 — Temp: 70 (ideal) | 68.4(avg) — Humidity: 45% | 36.1% — VPD: 1.2 | 1.47 kPa "Everything looks cute when it's small." —Cynthia Rowley

Continued feeding plant with each watering of 2 litres every 3/4 days. The flowers are fattening up nicely, into some bigish colas, meaning harvest isn't too far away. Removed some dieing leaves from bottom of the plant. Almost time to stop feeding and start the flushing process.

3 in the 1 gallons are starting to take shape and swell a little bit. I like growin autos in little pots. I'll get pics up later today.
