Day 59 - Seems since ropping up the res with nutrients the girls have taken well to it. They've started to fatten up considerably and are showing some nice colours. They are hard and sticky.. yield looks well on the first pheno. Day 60 - plants are getting on well, the EC is dropping which lets me know the plants are utilising the nutrients, pH slightly rising which again is a good sign. Leaves are changing colour too. I'll see what happens over the next few days, she should start to fade soon. Won't start flusing yet as she still has more to give. Stay tuned Day 63 - Girls getting on well, strong gassy smell from one of the phenos (left) and really sweet candy like aroma from the second pheno (right) actually smells so dank! ๐Ÿ˜„ Other thsn that, feeds have been dropped.. currently sitting around 0.5 EC. pH 5.8.. girls seem to like it there but I'd like it a little higher (6.0). They put on a lot of size from one day to the other which was nice to see. Can't complain really, I'll continue for now letting the EC drop and do a res change with plain RO water and let the plants flush fir a couple days. Planning for a day 70 harvest. Stay tuned

This is my biggest and healthiest plant I've ever had! I'm so incredibly amazed by Deepwater Culture that I'm thinking about not growing in the ground anymore and instead setting up 6 DWC systems in the tent. Tody i defoliate the plant :)

๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ Banana Cherry Cookies | Woche 7 Hey Growfreunde! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐ŸŒฟ Woche 7 ist vorbei und die Banana Cherry Cookies haben diese Woche wieder ordentlich gezeigt, was in ihnen steckt! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ˜ Im SCROG-Netz konnten die Damen ihr Potenzial jetzt richtig entfalten und haben mittlerweile zu sechst das komplette 120 ร— 120 cm Zelt ausgefรผllt. ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฟ Das Blรคtterdach ist mittlerweile richtig dicht geworden! ๐ŸŒธ Die ersten Blรผten sind inzwischen deutlich zu sehen und langsam nimmt das Ganze richtig Fahrt auf. Die grรถรŸte Lady ist aktuell schon etwas รผber 80 cm hoch. ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ”ฅ Wenn man sich anschaut, wie klein sie vor ein paar Wochen noch waren, ist das schon eine heftige Entwicklung! ๐Ÿ˜… โœ‚๏ธ Durch das mittlerweile sehr dichte Blรคtterdach werde ich diese Woche auch ein bisschen beschneiden, damit wieder etwas mehr Licht ins Innere kommt und die unteren Bereiche besser erreicht werden. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿƒ ๐Ÿ’ก AuรŸerdem bekommt das Setup ab heute Unterstรผtzung von einer zweiten Jackson Nemesis mit weiteren 200 Watt. Zum Start werde ich diese erstmal auf 60 % Leistung laufen lassen und schauen, wie die Ladys darauf reagieren. Zwei Lampen รผber dem inzwischen komplett gefรผllten 120er Zelt jetzt wirdโ€™s hell! ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ Beim Fรผttern gibt es ebenfalls ein kleines Upgrade. Die Banana Cherry Cookies bekommen weiterhin den S&R Organics 5in1 Dรผnger, mittlerweile mit 7 ml auf 1 Liter GieรŸwasser. Dazu gibt es von BioBizz Bloom und TopMax jeweils 2 ml auf 1 Liter GieรŸwasser. ๐Ÿ’ง๐ŸŒธ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Zum Glรผck haben sich die Temperaturen inzwischen etwas beruhigt. Wรคhrend der Lichtphase liegen wir aktuell bei angenehmen 22โ€“24 ยฐC. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Ž Nach den heiรŸen Wochen im Dachgeschoss bin ich darรผber definitiv froh! Ansonsten machen die Ladys einfach richtig SpaรŸ. ?๐Ÿป๐ŸŒฟ Sie wachsen, blรผhen und fรผllen das Zelt komplett aus bisher lรคuft dieser Grow wirklich unglaublich entspannt. โค๏ธ Jetzt bin ich richtig gespannt auf die kommende Blรผtephase und darauf, was die Banana Cherry Cookies aus dem voll ausgefรผllten Zelt noch rausholen werden. ๐Ÿ’๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Auf in die nรคchste Woche! ๐Ÿš€?๐Ÿป

I increased feed to 1 gal when watering. I water 2 liters let her absorb that and 30 minutes or so later i give her anothet 2 liters. The small amount of run off is absorbed by the following morning. Historically my plants have drank 2 liters and yielded 57 smokaeble grams. They say the amount of consumption is an indication of estimate yield. If my hypotheses holds true, Apollo should yield about 113 grams (4oz), twice what I've accomplished in the previous grows. Fingers crossed. Fragrance in the tent is Sweet citrus diesel smell. Gently pushing the stems down and out, my hands, arms, and fingers are sticky. RQS says harvest at 70-75 days from seed. I think within 2 weeks for harvest. Based on 9/14 pop soil, my calendar indicates it's gonna be around the 20th. So before Thanksgiving.

Another slow week. I increased light schedule to 13/11. Iโ€™m going to slowly lower the time of light until by the time harvest day comes itโ€™ll have a longer dark period. Iโ€™m also going to stop feeding the bottle nutrients my soil is moist still so I gotta wait. Iโ€™m predicting a couple ounces this grow.

Week 7 Veg Report ๐ŸŒฟโœจ Hey Grow Fam! ๐ŸŒฑ Week 7 of veg is here, and let me tell you, the grow room is buzzing with life! Each of the girls is showing off her unique personality, and Iโ€™m especially stoked about the Papaya Zoapโ€”sheโ€™s really coming into her own! The scrog net is nearly filled out just how I wanted it, and I can feel weโ€™re so close to flipping to flower. The anticipation is real! ๐Ÿ˜ But before we get to flowering, letโ€™s take a dive into something that makes this grow so smoothโ€”ThinkGrow LED drivers and cables. ThinkGrow LED Drivers โ€“ Plugging Into Success ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”— This week, I had a chance to work deeper with the ThinkGrow LED system, and honestly, itโ€™s like a dream come true for efficiency. Iโ€™ve been using the TLD-4 Four Spectrum Control Channels Model One LED Driver, and let me break down how it works. The drivers attach directly to the barsโ€”super sleek and no extra bulk. And, the connections? Itโ€™s a matter of matching the male and female connectors on the TDC-2 Daisy Chain Cord. Itโ€™s like a simple puzzle that snaps together perfectly. The TDC-4 cord takes it to the next level, connecting the top bars to the ICL-300 Inner-Canopy LED Bar, giving complete control and balance across every layer of my canopy. Why is this important? The driver-to-bar connection ensures that each LED bar is operating optimally, and the daisy-chain system makes it effortless to manage multiple bars without a ton of wires everywhere. Itโ€™s neat, efficient, and delivers even light distribution, which my plants are loving! ๐ŸŒž Are My Girls Ready for Flower? ๐ŸŒธ When I look at the plants up close, itโ€™s like theyโ€™re whispering, โ€œFlip me to flower already!โ€ ๐Ÿ˜† Their growth has been so vigorous, each filling out the space with character, and that scrog net is almost fully covered. So, Iโ€™m thinking weโ€™re super close to the big switch. Each plant has its own pace, but as a whole, the grow is looking fantastic! Room Stats โ€“ Tuning Into the Environment ๐ŸŒก๏ธ The TrolMaster system is still killing it with data and control, making it easier for me to keep everything balanced. Hereโ€™s a quick breakdown of the weekโ€™s environmental numbers, and a few jokes along the way! ๐Ÿ˜œ โ€ข Room Temps: Max 25.5ยฐC | Min 24.4ยฐC (Keeping it cool but not too chill!) โ€ข RH: Max 76.4% | Min 67.1% (Humidity stays right where it needs to be.) โ€ข CO2: Max 832 ppm | Min 420 ppm (Shout out to that magical 420! ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚) โ€ข VPD: Max 1.06 kPa | Min 0.64 kPa (All dialed in for peak veg mode.) Light Levels โ€“ All in the Details ๐Ÿ’ก โ€ข Max PPFD: 506 | Min 0 (because, you know, when the lights are off, itโ€™s dark! ๐ŸŒš๐Ÿ˜†) Keeping the light intensity balanced, and using the ThinkGrow LED system to spread that goodness across the entire canopy, Iโ€™m seeing explosive growth. Those PPFD levels are perfect for this stage! Water & Nutrients โ€“ The Lifeline ๐Ÿ’ง โ€ข Solution pH: Max 6.32 | Min 5.78 (Keeping it in the perfect range.) โ€ข TDS: 355 ppm steady (Every drop counts, right?) โ€ข Solution Temp: Max 23.5ยฐC | Min 22.3ยฐC (Keeping things cool, just like the grow!) And medium moisture? Itโ€™s a solid 100% thanks to my AutoPots and the genius of the AquaValve system. No electricity neededโ€”just gravity doing its magic. It makes my life so much easier, and the girls are loving the consistent hydration! No more worrying about under- or over-watering. Why Iโ€™m Obsessed with TrolMaster ๐Ÿ“ฑ I canโ€™t talk about this grow without shouting out the TrolMaster system. Every bit of dataโ€”whether itโ€™s temperature, RH, VPD, CO2, light intensity, or pHโ€”gets tracked and displayed in real-time on my app. Itโ€™s like having a grow assistant in my pocket, making sure I can monitor and adjust at any moment. The level of control I get with TrolMaster is out of this world, and itโ€™s helping me keep everything dialed in perfectly. Ready to Flip Soon ๐ŸŒธ With the Papaya Zoap filling out so nicely and the rest of the plants following suit, I feel like weโ€™re right on the edge of flipping to flower. Itโ€™s going to be a smooth transition, and I canโ€™t wait to see these beauties bloom! Stay tuned for next week, where we might just make that flip! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Environment Stats Recap ๐Ÿ“Š โ€ข Room Temp: Max 25.5ยฐC | Min 24.4ยฐC โ€ข RH: Max 76.4% | Min 67.1% โ€ข CO2: Max 832 ppm | Min 420 ppm (Seriously, shoutout to 420 again! ๐Ÿ˜‚) โ€ข VPD: Max 1.06 kPa | Min 0.64 kPa โ€ข Light PPFD: Max 506 | Min 0 (obviously, when the lights are off! ๐Ÿ˜œ) โ€ข Solution pH: Max 6.32 | Min 5.78 โ€ข Solution Temp: Max 23.5ยฐC | Min 22.3ยฐC โ€ข Medium TDS: Max 430 | Min 420 (I canโ€™t get enough of these 420 jokes! ๐Ÿ˜†) Final Thoughts ๐Ÿ’š This week has been a blast! Between the ThinkGrow LED system and the TrolMaster gear, I feel like Iโ€™m pushing the limits of whatโ€™s possible in indoor horticulture. Everything is dialed in, the plants are healthy, and the data just keeps showing that weโ€™re right on track. Shout Outs! As always, huge thanks to TrolMaster and ThinkGrow LED for the amazing gear, to Aptus Holland for their top-notch nutrients and Pro-Mix for the best soil i have used so far.

Ya estamos en plena floraciรณn y con las luminarias a max potencia... Evidentemente el aire acondicionado tambiรฉn estรก trabajando durante la fase de encendido. Flowa-Bloom es la estrella de los nutrientes a incorporar, pero todos son importantes... Asรญ que sigo la tabla de fertilizaciรณn de JUJU Royal al pie de la letra. Eso si, primero humedezco bien el sustrato con agua, para aprovechar bien la soluciรณn con los nutrientes y que no filtre por las macetas textiles. Riego cada cuatro dรญas.

๐Ÿ’œ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 ๐ŸŒฟ Purple Haze by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B โ„๏ธ The Slow Starter Might Be a Fast Finisherโ€ฆ AND OH MY GOD, THE FROST! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And today... I have one thing to say. OH. MY. GOD. LOOK AT THE FROST ON THIS GIRL! ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’œ Seriously! Our Purple Haze Pheno B has taken her sweet time getting here. She started slowly. She stayed compact. She never grew anywhere near as big as her sister. And for weeks, we kept looking at her and thinking: "Come on, girl... when are you going to show us what you've got?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ Well... I think she's finally answered. And she didn't answer with height. She didn't answer by taking over half the tent. She didn't answer by trying to become another version of her sister. Nope. She answered with FLOWERS. With density. With structure. And with enough frost to make me wonder whether somebody accidentally left the freezer door open inside the 8ร—8. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ She's still a compact plant. She's still the smaller sister. But when you get close to those flowers... HOLY SHIT. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ This girl is beautiful. And here's the really interesting part. Our slow starter is beginning to look like she might also become a fast finisher, much like her sister. I said MIGHT. We're not declaring anything yet. We're not writing the ending before we get there. But the way she's developing has certainly caught my attention. So let's give the Little Frosty Queen her own chapter. Because she deserves every bit of this spotlight. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ WEEK 14 โ€” THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN HAS ENTERED ANOTHER LEVEL If you've followed this diary from the beginning, you already know her story. She's the smaller Purple Haze. The slower Purple Haze. The girl who took her time while her sister was busy becoming a whole damn sporting arena. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ€ Her sister went big. Really big. But Pheno B chose a different direction. She stayed compact. She developed at her own pace. And while we were waiting for her to show us more, she was quietly building her own personality. Now? Look at her. The flower structures are becoming increasingly impressive. The density is catching my attention. And the frost... Oh, the frost! โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Žโ„๏ธ This is why I love following individual phenotypes rather than treating every plant with the same name as if it were an identical copy. Her sister gave us size and presence. This girl is giving us compact structure, beautiful flowers, and a seriously frosty expression. Same genetic family. Same room. Same general environment. Two completely different stories. And both are worth documenting. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž OH MY GODโ€ฆ THE FROST! I know I've said it already. And I'm probably going to say it again. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ But seriously... THE FROST! Look at those flowers. Look at the sugar leaves. Look at the details in the close-ups. The resin-covered surfaces give the flowers that beautiful frosted appearance, and the closer we get with the camera, the more there is to appreciate. From a distance, you see a compact Purple Haze plant carrying some lovely flowers. Move closer... and the story changes. You begin to notice the details. The flower structure. The texture. The resin. The way the individual floral sites are developing. And suddenly, the smaller sister doesn't look small at all. Not when you're looking at those flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ She's got her own way of making an impression. Her sister can keep the height. This girl is busy decorating everything in sight. ๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž And I'm absolutely here for it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ COMPACT DOESN'T MEAN LESS IMPRESSIVE This is something I really want to emphasize. Yes, Purple Haze Pheno B is still compact. She didn't grow as big as her sister. She didn't develop the same overall architecture. And she certainly hasn't tried to compete with the Big Mama for the title of largest Purple Haze in the room. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ But why should she? A plant's overall size doesn't tell us everything about the flowers it produces. And in this case, her compact structure is simply part of her individual expression. She's showing us a different balance between plant size, flower development, density, and resin appearance. That's what makes this phenotype interesting. We're not looking at her and wishing she were her sister. We're looking at her and appreciating what she actually is. A compact, beautiful, increasingly frosty Purple Haze. And honestly? That's more than enough to make her stand out. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โณ FROM SLOW STARTER TO POSSIBLE FAST FINISHER? Now this is where things get interesting. Because when I look at her now, I can't help thinking about how slowly she started. She took her time getting established. She stayed smaller. She moved at her own pace while some of the other girls seemed to be racing ahead. But now? She's looking like she might be approaching the later part of her journey much faster than her early development would have led us to expect. And that reminds me of her sister. The Big Mama has also been giving us reasons to watch the finishing process closely. Now Pheno B is making me wonder whether we're seeing a similar pattern in a much more compact plant. But let's keep our feet on the ground. A slow start doesn't guarantee a fast finish. And beautiful, frosty flowers don't automatically tell us exactly how much time remains. What we're seeing is a change in her appearance and development that makes the comparison interesting. That's all. We're not going to force a harvest date onto her. We're going to keep observing the flowers, watching the changes, and comparing the photographs from week to week. If she really does turn out to be a fast finisher... we'll document it when the plant gives us enough evidence. Until then? Let's enjoy the show. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ญ TWO SISTERS, TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS I absolutely love having these two Purple Haze phenotypes in the same room. Because the contrast is becoming impossible to ignore. ๐Ÿ’œ PURPLE HAZE PHENO A โ€” THE BIG MAMA ๐Ÿ‘‘ Larger overall structure. ๐ŸŒธ Substantial flowering architecture. ๐Ÿ’œ A plant that immediately catches your attention across the room. ๐Ÿงก Beautiful colour development. ๐Ÿ’ง Still giving us plenty to observe about her water consumption and maturity. โ„๏ธ PURPLE HAZE PHENO B โ€” THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN ๐Ÿ‘‘ Compact overall structure. ๐ŸŒธ Beautifully developing flowers. ๐Ÿ’Ž A seriously frosty appearance. ๐Ÿ’œ A slower start and a different developmental rhythm. โ„๏ธ A flower presentation that's becoming increasingly impressive. Same room. Same general lighting setup. Same overall growing environment. Same grower. And yet... look at the differences! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ That's the beauty of following individual phenotypes. If we only had one plant, we'd know what that plant looked like. With both sisters, we can see just how differently they can express themselves. One became our Big Mama. The other became our Little Frosty Queen. And neither needs to become the other to be worth celebrating. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS ARE GETTING THEIR OWN SPOTLIGHT One thing I love about this week's photographs is how much attention we can give to the individual flowers. The full-plant shots show us the compact structure. The wider photographs help put her development into context. And then we get to the close-ups... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’œ That's where she really steals the show. You can see the details in the flowers. You can appreciate their structure. You can see the resin-covered surfaces that give her that frosty appearance. And you can follow the changes compared with the previous weeks. This is why I don't want these diaries to be just a collection of pretty photographs. The photographs are part of the documentation. They let us compare. They let us notice changes we might otherwise forget. And they help us tell the story of each individual plant. Pheno B's story is becoming particularly satisfying because we can look back at those earlier weeks when we were waiting for her to show us more. Now we have a very different-looking chapter in front of us. The girl was never doing nothing. She was developing at her own pace. And now we're seeing more of what that development looks like. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THE PLANT HAS HER OWN PERSONALITY This is something I keep coming back to throughout the 8ร—8 Adventure. We have twelve plants sharing one room, but we don't have twelve identical responses. Some plants are tall. Some are compact. Some develop quickly. Some take longer to show us what they're capable of. Some have very different flower structures. And some have a visual expression that makes you want to bring the camera closer every time you walk past. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Purple Haze Pheno B is one of those plants. She's not trying to dominate the room through size. She's making herself noticed through her own combination of structure and frost. And that's exactly what I want from these individual diaries. Not a competition to decide which plant is the best. Not an attempt to make every phenotype fit the same expectations. Just honest documentation of what each plant is showing us. And this girl? She's showing us something beautiful. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY โ€” WHEN YOU GET CLOSER, YOU SEE MORE The closer we get with the camera, the more interesting the details become. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ“ธ A full-plant photograph gives us the big picture. A flower portrait lets us focus on the structure. A close-up reveals details that are easy to miss when we're looking at the plant from across the room. And with this Purple Haze phenotype, those close-ups are absolutely worth taking. The frost is one of the first things that catches the eye. But there's more to the story than resin alone. There's the way the flowers are developing. The structure of the surrounding leaves. The variation between different flowering sites. And the overall appearance of the plant as she continues through the flowering cycle. That's why I like documenting the same plant over time. We don't have to rely on a single photograph to tell us everything. We build a visual record. And as that record grows, we can better appreciate the differences between one week and the next. The Little Frosty Queen is giving us plenty of reasons to keep the camera ready. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ“ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ SAME PHOTONS โ€” DIFFERENT GENETIC EXPRESSION The lighting setup remains part of the same expanded 8ร—8 environment. We're still using the Future of Grow Black Series LEDs, including the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this project. The previous lighting reference was approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug. โ˜€๏ธ Around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Those figures are our established room reference, not a claim that every point across the canopy receives identical light intensity. The plants have different heights and structures, so their positions relative to the fixtures matter. And that's particularly interesting when we compare these two Purple Haze phenotypes. Pheno A developed into a much larger plant. Pheno B remained more compact while producing a very different visual expression. We're providing a shared lighting environment, but the plants are not identical. Genetics, developmental stage, plant structure, and the wider environment all contribute to what we see. That's the experiment. We're not trying to force twelve plants to become twelve copies. We're observing twelve individual responses. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟโ˜€๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก MORE LIGHTING CAPABILITY โ€” MORE CONTROL One of the things I appreciate about the Future of Grow upgrade is that additional lighting capability doesn't mean we have to operate every fixture at maximum output. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures give us more available capacity and flexibility. We're controlling the output rather than simply chasing the highest possible number. And that matters because the goal isn't just to throw more light into the room. The goal is to create a controlled environment that allows us to observe how the different plants develop. The upper canopy provides one reference point, but the garden is three-dimensional. Plant height, flower position, and canopy structure all affect the light received by different parts of each plant. The Lumiflora lighting also contributes another layer to the overall lighting setup deeper in the canopy. And our Little Frosty Queen is part of that shared environment. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test. Having that additional capability while retaining control over output has been an important part of this project. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’œ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ด THE RED-LIGHT ROUTINE โ€” ANOTHER PART OF THE EXPERIMENT We're also continuing to document the additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. Red and far-red wavelengths can influence plant responses through the phytochrome system, which helps plants interpret their light environment. The outcome depends on the wavelength, intensity, timing, duration, and the rest of the conditions. That's why we're recording this as part of our lighting routine rather than assuming it automatically produces a particular result. With Purple Haze Pheno B, the focus remains on documenting her own development. She's compact. She's increasingly frosty. Her flowers are developing beautifully. And we're watching how her appearance changes over time. We can't attribute those characteristics to the red-light period alone without a suitable comparison. That's an important distinction. The lighting routine is one part of the environment we're documenting, not proof of a specific effect. And that's how I want to approach this experiment: observe first, make claims only when the evidence supports them. ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฌ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ A LITTLE LIGHT SCIENCE โ€” THE EMERSON EFFECT Since we're talking about red light, let's revisit the Emerson effect. The Emerson effect describes how photosynthesis can respond more efficiently when suitable red and far-red wavelengths are supplied together under particular experimental conditions. It involves the cooperation between two major components of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis: ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem II (PSII) ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem I (PSI) These photosystems have different light-absorption characteristics. Under suitable conditions, combining light that supports both can produce a greater photosynthetic response than would be expected from the individual wavelengths alone. It's a fascinating example of how plant responses to light involve more than simply increasing brightness. But there's an important distinction. The Emerson effect does not mean that every red-light treatment produces the same response, nor does it prove that any particular short red-light routine will increase yield, accelerate flowering, or determine harvest timing. The spectrum, intensity, timing, and experimental conditions all matter. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is something we're documenting in this grow. We're not claiming that it automatically reproduces the Emerson effect. We're recording the routine, observing the plants, and keeping our conclusions grounded in what we can actually see and measure. That's how we keep learning without turning an interesting scientific concept into an unsupported promise. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฑ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€” THE SHARED ROOM APPROACH The previous shared nutrition reference for this stage of the run was: ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” around 2.0 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L The previously recorded room readings were approximately: โš—๏ธ pH โ€” around 6.0 โšก EC โ€” around 2.05 mS/cm These are the established reference values from the previous reports, not newly verified measurements for this week's update. The wider approach remains consistent with the room's current stage, while we continue observing the plants individually. And Pheno B is a good reminder that a shared nutritional programme doesn't make every plant develop at the same pace. She's still compact. She's showing beautiful flowers. And her frost is becoming one of the most striking features of this phenotype. We don't need to invent a new story around the numbers. We need to keep observing the plant in front of us. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ THE 8ร—8 ROOM โ€” SHARED CONDITIONS Our previous shared room reference was: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 14 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD reference โ€” approximately 1,500 ๐Ÿ”Œ Future of Grow lighting output โ€” approximately 59% from the plug ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” approximately 26.5โ€“27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” approximately 25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” approximately 60โ€“61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” approximately 25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” approximately 25ยฐC โš—๏ธ Previous pH reading โ€” approximately 6.04 โšก Previous EC reading โ€” approximately 2.05 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚ โ€” approximately 693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ง Previous irrigation reference โ€” approximately 1.4โ€“1.45 L per plant / 24 hours ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L These are the previously established room references for continuity, rather than a claim that every reading was taken again this week. The key point is that Pheno B continues to develop within the same general environment as the other plants. And yet her expression is entirely her own. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ SAME ROOM โ€” DIFFERENT TIMELINES The 8ร—8 Adventure keeps teaching us the same lesson. The plants don't read our expectations. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ One plant may develop quickly from the beginning. Another may take longer to establish herself. One may become very tall. Another may stay compact. One may catch our attention through size. Another may do it through flower structure and resin expression. Purple Haze Pheno B has taken the slower route. But looking at her now, I'm not thinking about what she failed to become. I'm looking at what she actually is. A compact plant with beautiful flowers and an incredibly frosty appearance. And if she does turn out to be a fast finisher, that will be another interesting part of her individual story. For now, we'll keep watching her development and comparing her progress with the photographs from previous weeks. No competition. No forced expectations. Just twelve plants, one shared room, and twelve individual stories. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ฌ JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

Very curious. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ How will those flowers continue to develop? Will her compact structure remain the defining feature of this phenotype? How will the frost and colours evolve? And will our slow starter really become a fast finisher, just like her sister? We'll see. I'm not going to predict an exact harvest date from photographs alone. The appearance of the flowers is one part of the picture, and we'll keep following the changes as they happen. For now, the important thing is that she's continuing to give us something beautiful to document. And after all those weeks of waiting for her to show us more... I am absolutely enjoying this chapter. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โค๏ธ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€” SMALLER PLANT, SERIOUS FROST! Week 14. And our Purple Haze Pheno B is giving us a chapter I absolutely love. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ She took her time getting started. She stayed smaller than her sister. She developed at her own pace. And now? LOOK AT HER! ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž The frost is beautiful. The flowers are looking fantastic. Her compact structure gives her a completely different character from the Big Mama. And she's showing us that being the smaller sister doesn't mean being any less interesting. In fact, the contrast between the two plants is one of my favourite parts of following them together. Pheno A gives us size and presence. Pheno B gives us compact structure and an incredible frosty appearance. Same genetic family. Same room. Different expression. And both deserve their own spotlight. The possibility that our slow starter might also become a fast finisher is certainly keeping me curious, but we're not going to rush the conclusion. We'll continue observing. We'll keep photographing. We'll compare the changes. And we'll let the plant tell us how her story unfolds. Until then... Keep shining, Little Frosty Queen. Keep showing us those beautiful flowers. Keep doing things your own way. And keep making me bring that camera closer! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ You took your time, girl. But I think we can all agree... you were worth the wait. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘‘ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU A huge thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple Haze genetics and for giving us the opportunity to follow two such different expressions from the same genetic family.

Thank you to TrolMaster for helping monitor and manage the room behind the scenes. And thank you to everyone who stops by, leaves a comment, asks a question, or follows the journey week after week. You're all part of this adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Twelve plants. One room. Twelve individual stories. And Purple Haze Pheno B? She's the compact girl who took her time... and is now making us stare at the flowers like we've never seen frost before. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep learning. And let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight she deserves.

Had very good growth this week in height and pistils. Roots are also doing well with more growth and nice color so I will keep my fingers crossed that they continue to do well. The MP3 player was not working again. I used a MicroSD card and put a Velvet Underground Album on it and stuck that into the newest speaker. This one is the smallest and easiet yet plus it has continuous play so the album plays all the time without stopping like the MP3 player did. Am getting a bigger SD card to put more Velvet Underground on. I also defoliated a small amount and don't expect to cut anymore. The Grow Chamber continues to perform nicely and I hope to start building the first real Model Type soon. I also had to make a new top drip system because the older one was not dripping water. I am also CO2 enriching the Chamber for a couple of hours every two days. Looking to see more pistil growth this week. I've also added my data charts for January. Everything was in range and moving forward.

the fresh kit easy for beginner i have to do no watering, only open and wait. the first flush was arround 12 dayโ€˜s after openin the box. very big thanks to Zamnesia @Zamnesia #Zamnesia. some are goes blue by pull out. and i had so much luck. 1 mushroom was opening and let fall his spores and this would kill the next charge, my luck was that all sporeโ€˜s falls down on the polymรคre bag. so i hope that the next charge goes like this. stay clean and this will go very easy and fast. give a new feedback for the trip, and the hope of this 2.nd flush

Flower day 22, I hope the stretch is finally over.. these girls are giants! So far they have just been given P.H water and 1 top dress of some Dr Forest bloom 2-8-4 dry amendments mixed with some bokashi, canna pro soil and some worm castings that I watered in using molasses. Loving how easy this grow is going, hopefully it stays that way until harvest :)

Still super green. Just started getting white trichomes. I may need extra few days to flush and do 48hr dark
