Welcome to my Purple Haze Autoflower sponsored & by MSNL seed company. Well, its pretty much in the name. And I think even the most newest person to cannabis has heard of it. Like White Widow and Skunk. Its kinda a house hold name in this industry. And been what it is. I've no doubts MSNL will have made a blinder. As for achieving purple in the pheno. I find. You've to have everything going strong and no mess ups to give you a higher chance of getting purple. Even, then you may not get it. But, color of fan leafs has never really been important, nor will it ever be. I do have the temperatures to help me get purple if I want. But, asl I do so many grows at the same time. I keep an even temperature as much as I can throughout the entire crop. 19-22c atm that is. My drying room i can reach 10c at the moment. That will come up to 19c by April. (At this stage I should have my winter crop all dried) This is my last plant to start for this crop. I'm pushing it to the max this year. I've many plants. A few I plan to grow big. But 70% will be average grows which I'll be happy once they hit or go by 40g per plant. She has between 15-19% THC.. not normally a preference for myself. I like much stronger phenos. But, I had to give this strain a go. I'm getting round to the classics. As this is more or less what I grew up on as a teen. So, looking forward to tasting this baby. Edit After 30+hrs. Seed was placed on wet substrate that was soaked in 1L of Pure Zym.& Power Roots. After placing the seed i then added 0.1 of a liter of dry substrate on top of the seed. (Just moist soil) this will lower the risk of damping of completely nearly as this won't need watering for at least 10+ days. 1/5th of BatMix was added to the end of the pot with the rest been filled with Royal Mix, both are fertilised soil. But to get Alga Grow going as its an Organic product you should try get that going early. Just a small amount to kick-start the Organic process which takes longer while using Organic products. Pure zym & PR will help it break down any nutes as she's a seedling after all. So, I hope the soil won't be too hot. So, I'll hold off on any NPK feeds for now or anything else until she's into veg. Thanks to my sponsor MSNL and to all who work tiresomely to bring us fantastic strains. Also, to whomever drops by. I appreciate you. Drop a like so I can visit your diaries. Either way thanks for stopping by.

Well, all 3 GZ strains are having leaves yellowing from bottom. Ph is correct, TDS is correct. Dunno what is wrong with them.All DsD strains are having no trouble at all, with same conditions as GZ. But, anyway, still not that bad. Cheers.

Week 8 Day 58, started flushing with plain tap water, no nutrients. pH 7.1. Experience a heat wave in the week (D58 to 61) which drove temperatures up, extended nyt time to 19 5, but even late evening it rose to 31c ( for upto 2 hrs before dropping to a steady 26c. Heat stress to some of the top fan leaves(curling). Orange hairs slowly! appearing. Very sticky, vanilla cream scent, it's coming upto week 9 D64, not sure if they'll be ready or will need another week longer? However, Not all cream caramels 'look' the same. Smells strong, sweet, vanilla cream

These are clones that I managed to take from my summer garden that became a disaster due to a heat wave that we had breaking 100 year records. I expect everything to be 48” in height at maturity.

After 5 & 1/2 - 6 days, the girls were trimmed up and “jarred” as I could not go any longer without risking over drying and messing up the cure. Loved growing this strain, MOP 1 having a more deeper smell leaning more to mimosa and citrus & MOP 2 smells more like candy sweet smell leaning more towards orange punch. Pulled 14oz total from 2 girls. 7oz per girl, but MOP1 had the more favourable bud structure, while MOP 2 had the more favourable colour and sweeter smell. Neither girls I would say had any real popcorn buds, even the smallest of the buds lower down were really dense and will only improve a little more with a cure. Love the Gavita for the density 100%. All of the buds are now currently in a plastic airtight bucket ( I know use glass, I don’t have any jars and it’s my only option.) Bucket will be burped a couple times a day to cure and allow the smell to develop some more. I’m sure I will lose a little weight as the cure progresses, but in total as far as placing buds in the bucket the grand total is 14.1 oz. probably around 13.5 oz when all is said and done I’m guessing. I am beyond happy! Thanks for everyone’s help and support on here too! 🤙🏻💚

Happy to have this beast in flower. No major stretch so far; fingers crossed it stays that way. Will continue to defoliate and add flowering nutes in the next week or 2. Photos/video taken 84 days after breaking soil, day 7 of flower.

Hey all, its our 2nd week after casing drop. Facing some issues with Night temp, sometimes it could fall to +12C, thinking about how to improve it. Also concerned about slow growth because of that. Using just 1/3 of Plagron recommended dose. Modified a bit my tank, made some technical window. Also set up automatic irrigation, because wool started to dry up during the day Upd Sunday 10.12.2023, Decided to put Babys finally to Seramis. Washing ceramics is some kind of hell: -First, I decided to sift all the dust through a sieve, stood in a half-bent position with bags of Seramis for 30m (my back didnt like it), but there was a lot of dust. -then I decided to check the Ph and rinse thoroughly. Although the package says 5.5-5.7 Ph, after the first flush with a balanced solution at 5.5 Ph, there was 6.5 in the drainage. - I was concerned by the very muddy brick colour water, then got tired of mixing 5.5 in a bucket for flushing and decided to rinse it with tap water from shower and then balance it back to 5.5 Ph . As a result, I poured from the hose for another 30 minutes until the water became more or less transparent. -I also tested FloraFlex discs, they drip great and, although round, fit perfectly into my square grow bags. -Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Ph meter broke down, even the readings of the calibration buffer were changing from 4-6 Ph within one minute. In the end, I spent another 30min and half a bottle of buffer on this too. It’s good that i had yellow Chinese Ph meter, which even after 3 years of rest in the box showed accurate buffer readings. -Finally, the Ph of the drainage was 5.5-5.7 and it was transparent, so I began to move it into the growbox. I sprinkled it as much as I could, it was impossible to dig deeper. The plants do not yet reach the matrix disk, so for now they will grow with the usual felt. -The cap of the tank is very thin and cannot withstand the weight of 2 grow bags, I’ll have to come up with something else, maybe I’ll put some kind of drainage grid. Watering will be from a tank with a mixed solution of 5.8 Ph and 1.1 EC.

Left tent is a week ahead. Fair amount of stretching this week. This time I’m paying close attention to keep flower sites high up. My experiment with bottom lighting did not went so great. I had a record yield but the quality was really bad in about 30-35% of flowers. Weak density. I’m definitely going to try again from the beginning but not this time. I have to pay attention to not let any plant get to big of a dryback in veg. It really influences the later stretching and make the plant too compact in sensitive cultivars.

Hey hey everyone! 😀👋 This is week 5! My girls are growing strong and very, very bushy. I gave them a good dose of water this week and it seems they really enjoyed that! Besides that theses are the things I noticed: - The girl on the back is bushier than the one on the front and her leaves are smaller in comparison (with the exception of some leaves). - The leaves might be a little dark in color, but I could also be wrong hah. Perhaps I'm feeding them too much fertilizers? - The stems are getting very, very thick. I like that! - I've tucked so much this week... and some leaves are curling weirdly. Probably that's a sign my efforts are paying off? 😅 - I also reinforced the LST at the end of the week. I need those thick stems to bend a little more! Anyway, that's pretty it for this week! I took tons of photos and I hope you'll all enjoy them! 😍 See you all next week!

2/1 - 2/4: Flushed both MPP's on Monday and put the skinnier one in the dark Thursday night. Tomorrow is the end of the line for her. I'll probably let the big fat one go til next weekend. Watered the fat girl Friday. 2/8: The little one is hanging to dry now, and the bigger one is just getting water + liquid soil

Tag 88: Die Watermelon Candy F1 Automatic von Zamnesia Seeds hat Spass gemacht, anzubauen. Das ich so unvorsichtig war und die Spitze abgebrochen habe, ärgert mich jetzt noch. Dafür hat sie ganz schön reagiert mit dem "Ersatzhaupttrieb". Das Nassgewicht kann man nicht ernst nehmen, ist mit einer groben Küchenmaschine gewogen, wichtiger ist, wieviel es nach der Trocknung ist. 😎

🌸 Week 1 – Flowering Stage Strain: Permanent Marker (Zamnesia Seeds) Project: Dognabis Cup Example Grow 🌍 ⸻ 💚 Transition Into Flower The girls wasted no time: at ~90 cm tall, they’re stretching beautifully, branching with symmetry, and already showing early pistils by the end of the week. Both phenos (PM#1 and PM#2) are very close in appearance, but Pheno #1 is leading slightly in height (about 5 cm taller), while PM#2 is equally vigorous and balanced. This uniformity is exciting, strong genetics with consistency across the phenos. The kind of stability you want in a Cup. ⸻ 📸 Studio Session Took them out for a proper photo shoot with the Sony 📷. Leaves shining, structure elegant, early flower sites beginning to peek through. Even filmed a few videos to capture this milestone. They’re looking like queens, and it’s a joy to document every step. ⸻ 💧 Feeding – Adjustments for Flower We’ve officially adjusted the recipe to start the flowering journey: • ❌ Start Booster – removed • ✅ Top Booster – added at 0.25 ml/L • ❌ All-in-One Liquid – paused (the All-in-One Pellets + pre-mixed recipe in the soil are now fully active and doing the job beautifully) • ✅ CalMag Boost – continued • ✅ Regulator – continued • pH: ~6.1 • Feed EC: ~0.6 This gentle transition sets the base for flower, without overwhelming them. ⸻ 🍃 Notes & Observations Some leaf burn spots appeared this week, nothing major. Likely from wind stress with the fan blowing directly on them. Honest note: it’s part of the process, and we show the good and the less-than-perfect. Overall, the plants are thriving, strong, and unfazed by small imperfections. ⸻ 🌱 From Seed to Here – Quick Recap • Week 1–2: Germination & early veg, bottom-fed by hand • Week 3: Transplant to 11L Zamnesia fabric pots, roots thriving, super soil mixed with Aptus Holland products (MycorMix, All-in-One Pellets, Substrate Buffer Powder) • Week 4 Veg: Explosive growth, steady feeding, compact structure, preparing for flip • Week 1 Flower (now): ~90 cm tall, branching beautifully, pistils showing, first signs of floral transition ⸻ 🎓 Looking Ahead • Expect stretch to continue through the next 1–2 weeks • Bud sites will begin stacking, pistils multiplying • Watch closely for balance in nutrition, especially with Top Booster now active • AC unit arriving soon will help stabilize temps (currently peaking ~31°C) ⸻ 👑 Genetics & The Cup Permanent Marker is more than just a strain, it’s a modern heavyweight with a strong pedigree (Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb Bx). These genetics are already proving themselves with vigor, balance, and beauty. As the organizer Dognabis Cup, it’s a privilege to showcase them here. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for providing the seeds, and to all the sponsors who support this journey.
