This week has been a really good week for me, Growth ✅ Run off ✅ Temperature ✅ Humidity ✅ I am started to do a feed cycle of feed - feed - flush As I am watering evey 3 days should work out to a flush every 9 days Day 78 I started to defoliate underneath the scrogg to increase air flow underneath the canopy Each day I increased the amount I removed working my way up slowly until I had removed majority of the leaves that wasnt receiving sufficient light and was restricting airflow in between all my bud sites by Day 83 I had finished removing all that I will be removing other then huge fan leaves coving/shading areas in upcoming weeks, thanks for reading my diary👊😁 Happy Growing Guys!

On day 1 things are going well. The buds are getting larger by the day and I'm starting to smell the terps. This is an interesting one, I can't figure it out just yet but there seems to be grapefruit in the background at least. I also did my last defoliation to bring in more light to the canopy. On day 3 the girls are doing well. My PH pen broke so I'm back to indicator drops until amazon hooks me up with a new probe. On day 4 the plants are doing well. I applied my final BTI treatment. The fungus gnat population is way down and almost completely eradicated. The girls are putting on more trichs everyday and the smell is increasing :) On day 5 I see no more fungus gnats :) I should receive my PH pen tomorrow and will finally be able to adjust my reservoirs pH with more precision. On day 6 the plants are doing well. On day 7 my new PH pen was ready for use. I discovered my reservoir got down to 5.5 PH yikes! I used PH up to get the PH to 6.1. I then changed out my reservoir with new nutrients. I PH'ed to 6.1

Que pasa familia, vamos con la tercera semana de floración de estas Tropicana Cookies Fast Flowering, de FastBuds. Vamos al lío , las 3 plantas se colocaron en macetas de 7 litros definitivamente. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 21/24 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Ir van creciendo y no llevan ni mal ritmo ni mal color, veremos como avanzan las próximas semanas y como van formándose las flores.

The grow was fairly straightforward and no complications. Veg was fast amd stalks were the thickest to date, I was impressed. Flower was a beautiful show, colors were dark and pretty, got to love that. Buds frosted up immensely amd after the trim still looked frosty. Smell was also a beautiful fragrance, the nose does not work so good amd to be honest mybe its me too. Cant really say amd don't want to make shit up. I will leave this up to a friend and will update later with the smoke report. I have to say this was a great and very satisfying grow. I'm not really sure if I am getting better or ot is the strain. I did change a bunch of things up. I topped at the fourth node this time, probably should have did some more topping too. Will work on that on later grows. During flower I did not let the pots get too dry, maybe 40 or 50%. I also started using a smaller area and now in a tent. Temperatures were also a bit higher, I think the Silicate helped the plan throught this. Flower I had low humidity, consistantly around 38%. Started using a PH pen part way through, just after flower started. This also seemed to help and being it was accurate. I PH'd runoff, never had to make much adjustments thought. Thanks for following and or stopping by! I will round up my stoner friends and smoke report to follow. Cheers

Something is fckng with me heavy,I'm using tap/RO water 50/50. and still my cal mag issues are getting worse..I'm hoping that I will be able to finish this grow without big loss in potency or yield .

Did defoliation as usual and a little lollipoping. Did 2 complete refills of the reservoir, ph stayed stable for 1 day after the exchange but then super unstable again. Dropped the EC with the second refill to 1000 to see if it stays stable. Ori is going good, already looking frosty, NL#2 is comming aswell, NL#1 not so much.

No issues with this girl so far although she did take her time too take off into veg,

​📝 Mes impressions finales ​Quantité vs Qualité : Je vais être honnête, même si les têtes sont bien denses, la quantité n'est pas tout à fait au rendez-vous. C'est un peu mieux que sa petite sœur, mais pour moi, une plante doit approcher les 100g sec pour vraiment valoir le temps investi. La Cherry Cola semble privilégier la résine au rendement. ​Aspect : C'est une merveille visuelle. Les têtes sont d'une beauté rare, totalement recouvertes de trichomes en masse, on dirait qu'elles ont été plongées dans le sucre. ​Odeur : C'est extrêmement fort ! Un parfum lourd, sucré et épicé qui embaume tout l'espace. ​Note provisoire : 8/10. J'espère maintenant que l'effet sera à la hauteur de cette production de résine incroyable. ​🙏 Remerciements ​Cette aventure n'aurait pas été la même sans vous. Avant de passer au test final une fois le séchage terminé, je voulais dire un grand merci à toutes les personnes qui ont suivi le parcours de cette plante, turn après turn, photo après photo. Vos conseils et votre présence font toute la différence. ​Un merci tout particulier à @mia_biotabs pour le soutien et les produits qui ont permis de sortir une qualité de résine pareille ! ​On se retrouve très bientôt pour le résultat final!

I germinated in root Riot Cubes in humidity Dome with heat pad on 23°C. 3 from 8 seeds sprouted after few days but others didnt ....sad but hope at least one of sprouted would be keeper. All seeds was verry small and white...not good Reverse genetics not good for that money...what i can sayaybe bad hands of mine but you know ...newest strain of them with this germination rates? Fuuuck

Great strain iv grown it i think 3 or 4 times trained differnt every time 2 diaries of it and i love this strain rock hard heavy buds with tons of trics leaves started purpling but ph got too out of wack at the end at allmost 8 and still living. buds i think could have gotten fatter if corrected earlier but broke my meter but atill impressed the way it reaponded to how many times i topped it ending with around 46 bud sites lol thanks original sensible for another smooth grow in the books

💜 8×8 Adventure – Harvest Diary Purple Haze by Zamnesia | Pheno A 👑 THE QUEEN'S FINAL CHAPTER — TRIMMING, FINAL WEIGHT & THE CURING JOURNEY! ✂️💎🌿 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 MY FRIENDS... THE QUEEN IS BACK! And this time, we're bringing her harvest story to its final stage. 💜👑 If you've been following the previous reports, you already know this girl earned her Big Mama title. She developed into a substantial plant, produced some seriously impressive flowers, and gave us plenty of reasons to keep the camera busy throughout her journey. Last week, we focused on her harvest, the whole-plant drying stage, and the photographs taken before trimming. Today, we're continuing exactly where we left off. The trimming. The final numbers. The finished flowers. And, of course, how we're preserving this beautiful harvest for the curing stage. As always, I strongly recommend going back through her previous diary updates if you'd like to follow the complete story. There's quite a bit behind these final photographs, and I don't want anyone to miss the journey that brought us here. But for now... LET'S GIVE BIG MAMA HER FINAL HARVEST SPOTLIGHT! 💜✂️📸 ──────────────────────── 🌱 A QUICK RECAP — FROM SEED TO BIG MAMA For anyone joining this diary for the first time, Purple Haze Pheno A was part of our 8×8 Adventure: a project following twelve individual plants and phenotypes, with each one receiving her own diary and documentation. One of the central experiments was our 12/12-from-seed approach, allowing us to observe how different genetics developed under the same general growing strategy. And this girl certainly made herself noticed! She developed into a substantial plant, with a beautiful structure and some seriously impressive flowers. Throughout her journey, we followed her development week after week, documenting her growth, flowering, and final stages. Then came harvest. We dried her as a whole plant before moving into the trimming process, which is where today's report begins. If you want the full story, please take a look at the previous weeks. You'll find the growing journey, the harvest chapter, and the photographs that brought us to this moment. Twelve plants, twelve individual stories. And one very proud Big Mama! 😂💜👑 ──────────────────────── ✂️ TRIMMING DAY — EVERY FLOWER GETS SOME LOVE After the drying stage, it was time to bring out the scissors and TrimBin. We worked through the flowers carefully, trimming them by hand and giving each one the attention it deserved. No rushing. No treating the flowers like an assembly line. Just patience, curved trimming scissors, and a little bit of love for every beautiful bud. And MY FRIENDS... LOOK AT THESE FLOWERS! 💜💎 Big Mama produced some seriously dense, substantial buds. There were beautiful flowers throughout the harvest, and handling them during trimming gave us another opportunity to appreciate just how impressive this phenotype became. The TrimBin helped us keep the trimming process organised, collecting the material as we worked and keeping the workspace tidy. It's one of those simple pieces of equipment that makes a long trimming session much more comfortable. And yes, there was plenty of work to do! 😂✂️ Every flower was trimmed with care before being weighed and prepared for the next stage. The photographs show the finished result, but they also preserve a little of the process behind it. From the dried branches to the trimmed flowers, this is the point where the harvest starts taking its final form. And Big Mama? SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! 💜👑 ──────────────────────── ⚖️ THE FINAL NUMBERS — BIG MAMA DELIVERS! Right, my friends. Let's get to the numbers! Because after all those weeks of growing, photographing, observing, and eventually harvesting, it's always satisfying to see the final result. Our wet bud material came in at approximately 1,141 grams. And after drying and trimming, the final dry flower weight was: 💎 135.7 GRAMS 💎 That's the number we're taking into the curing stage! From 1,141 grams of wet material to 135.7 grams of trimmed, dry flowers. And I'm genuinely happy with that result. Of course, wet and dry weights are two very different measurements. A substantial amount of the original weight is water that leaves the flowers during drying, so the final dry weight is the meaningful figure when we're talking about the finished harvest. But beyond the number, what makes me happy is the quality of the final presentation. Dense flowers. Beautiful structure. A lovely collection of trimmed buds. And a harvest that gives this girl a very fitting ending to her growing diary. Big Mama, you did well! 💜👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 🛍️ THE NEXT STAGE — TWO CURING METHODS, ONE HARVEST Now comes another interesting part of this post-harvest journey. After trimming and weighing, we divided the finished flowers between two storage and curing approaches: 💚 Grove Bags And ? Glass jars Both are being used to preserve the flowers during the curing stage, but the way we manage them is different. And that's worth explaining, especially for anyone who is new to post-harvest handling. ──────────────────────── 💚 GROVE BAGS — TERPLOC TECHNOLOGY Some of Big Mama's flowers were placed inside Grove Bags. These are purpose-designed curing and storage bags using their TerpLoc multilayer film technology. The idea is to create a suitable internal environment for properly dried flowers, helping manage moisture and gas exchange while protecting the contents from unnecessary exposure to the outside environment. They're designed to help maintain a more stable internal humidity environment and preserve the aroma and character of the flowers during curing and storage. One of the biggest practical differences is that we don't follow the traditional daily opening-and-closing routine with these bags. We don't open them every day just to let them breathe. The material is designed to manage the internal environment through the properties of the film itself, reducing the need for manual burping when the flowers have been properly dried and the bags are used correctly. And that's an important distinction: Grove Bags are not drying bags. The flowers must be properly dried before going inside. They are not vacuum bags, they cannot rescue flowers that are still too wet, and they cannot correct a poor drying process. They're also not magic bags that guarantee a perfect cure regardless of what happens beforehand. Good drying, clean handling, and starting with flowers at an appropriate moisture level are still essential. For anyone who wants an extra level of reassurance, there's a simple option: You can place a small digital hygrometer inside the bag to monitor the temperature and relative humidity. That gives you an additional reference point, particularly if you're still learning the process or want to check how your flowers are behaving. Grove Bags are designed to help manage the curing environment, but monitoring your flowers and understanding their condition remains important. The main advantage for us is convenience, less handling, and a purpose-built storage environment that helps protect the flowers while they cure. And now? Big Mama's flowers are resting inside their bags. We'll give them time. Patience is part of the process! 💚🌿 ──────────────────────── ? GLASS JARS — THE TRADITIONAL ROUTE The other part of the harvest went into glass jars. And here we're following a more traditional curing routine. During approximately the first two weeks, we're opening the jars every day. We allow the air inside to exchange with the outside air before closing them again. Why do we do this? Because even after flowers have been dried, they can still contain some residual moisture inside their structure. During curing, that moisture can redistribute through the flowers and influence the humidity inside the jar. Opening the jars allows us to release accumulated moisture and exchange the air, helping us monitor how the flowers are settling into their storage environment. It also gives us the opportunity to check for anything unusual, including excessive moisture or unwanted smells. The routine is not simply about opening a jar for the sake of it. It's about observing the flowers and managing the conditions while the cure develops. As the flowers stabilise, the frequency of opening can be reduced, provided everything is behaving as expected. And that's the main difference between the two approaches we're using here. With the jars, we're manually opening and exchanging the air. With the Grove Bags, we're relying on the properties of the TerpLoc film to help manage the internal environment without that same daily opening routine. Neither method removes the need for proper drying or sensible monitoring. They're simply two different approaches to the curing and storage stage. And because we're using both with this harvest, we can continue observing how each method behaves over time. ?💚 ──────────────────────── 🔬 WHY ARE WE USING BOTH? This is something I particularly enjoy about documenting a harvest. We're not just showing the finished flowers. We're also recording what happens after the growing stage is over. The flowers from Purple Haze Pheno A are now being preserved using two different approaches. Some are inside Grove Bags. Others are inside glass jars. We'll give both methods time, keep an eye on the flowers, and eventually bring those observations into the next stage of the diary. The important thing is not to declare one method the winner before we've had the opportunity to evaluate the results. Curing takes time. And the final aroma, flavour, and overall experience deserve to be assessed properly rather than guessed from the appearance of a jar or bag. So we'll leave that discussion open for now. The flowers are resting. The curing process is underway. And the next chapter will give us the opportunity to talk about what we discover. 💚🔬 ──────────────────────── 👑 BIG MAMA — WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HARVEST! Looking back at this girl's journey, I'm genuinely happy with what we've documented. From seed, through the 12/12-from-seed experiment, through flowering, harvest, drying, trimming, and now curing. We've followed her every step of the way. She became a substantial plant. She produced dense, beautiful flowers. She gave us a fantastic harvest to work through. And now, with 135.7 grams of finished dry flowers, she's officially moved into the curing stage. But I don't want this report to become only about numbers. Because the best part of this project is being able to look back and appreciate the individual journey behind each harvest. Every phenotype has something different to show us. Every plant gives us another opportunity to observe, learn, and document. And Purple Haze Pheno A has certainly earned her place among the memorable girls of this adventure. Big Mama... You were a pleasure to grow and a pleasure to photograph. Now it's time to rest. 💜👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 💬 COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

Well it's official the first week of flower is in the bag! All in all not an eventful week but it's always exciting to see the girls start their transformation to flower and seeing the stretch kick in! Netting is really filling in nicely, will be a good clean up job on fan leaves in a week or so. Did a diatomaceous earth treatment because I was noticing some fungus gnats still, had it on for 48 hours and since have not seen any new ones in the traps so 🤞. Added a 6" oscillating fan below canopy, should help keep temps even and keep bugs away. With all the trimming down there the fan doesn't even effect the leaves hahaha. Flower week 2 here we come!

topped August 28th 2018

Al corte ✂️✂️✂️

week two flower everything looks healthy :D today i defoliated them i watered them with 1.5l every 48h the light i use was set to 80% and it hangs 80cm away from the tops
