Everything is going well so far. Appears to be we have some stretching happening and i keep thinking Im seeing preflowers but nothing really so far. Probably a month away like last year. Little Catalina wine mixer in the mix is doing fine as well, although kind of spindley. Currently feeding every 3 waterings . Had about 7-8โ€ of rain the last 72 hours, insane tropical conditions, ipm consisting of Lost Coast Plant therapy, BT spray, and de powder for base of plant. Also helps with calcium and hardening up the plant.

This was my first outdoor autoflower experience. Very happy with the results. Buds could have had a better taste in my opinion but that is just preference.

๐Ÿ“‹ Grow Diaries: Week 2 of Flowering โ€“ The Northern Lights Auto Sisters The Northern Lights Autoflower sisters, Charlotte and Makayla, have confidently stepped into Week 2 of true flowering. The initial transition phase is settling, and both girls are busy stacking up distinct pre-flower clusters on the deck. Because these are autoflowers tracking on a fixed schedule, this week clearly illustrates how a complete divergence in training strategies can entirely alter the plant's architecture and budding profile. ๐ŸŽ€ A Study in Contrast: Natural vs. Pinned Down While sharing the exact same indica-dominant genetic backbone, the structural contrast between the two sisters is night and day right now: Charlotte (The Natural Tree): Training: Left completely alone to do her own thing, Charlotte has been allowed to grow naturally. Structure & Flowering:** She is exhibiting a textbook, upright Christmas tree shape with a strong apical dominance. Her primary central cola towers over the rest of the plant, heavily stacking clusters of white pistils along a single vertical pillar. Her side branches gracefully skirt the main trunk, catching excellent sun from her upright stance. Makayla (The Pinned-Down Canopy): Training: Placed under intensive low-stress training, Makayla has been meticulously pinned down closer to the soil. Structure & Flowering: By forcing her main stem down horizontally, her natural apical dominance was broken. As a result, her side branches have been thrown into the spotlight, rising up to create a much flatter, bushed-out tabletop canopy. She sits significantly lower to the pot than her sister but features multiple evenly distributed budding tops across her wider footprint. The Mid-Bloom Menu: Dialing in FOOP Organic Bloom To fuel this rapid flower production without stalling their internal clocks, the girls have been transitioned onto a premium organic bloom regimen: FOOP Bloom 1 & Bloom 2: This core base duo is delivering a highly bioavailable punch of organic phosphorus, potassium, and fish-based micronutrients to accelerate calyx stacking and strengthen stem development. FOOP Sweetener: Infused into the feed to load up the root zone with complex carbohydrates, driving up microbial activity in the soil and giving the sisters the raw fuel they need to crank up early resin and trichome synthesis. Irrigation Setup The green automated drip rings (1000003513.jpg) ensure this organic blend is evenly distributed across the entire surface of the fabric pots, feeding the root zones consistently without creating dry pockets. Pistil Development: White hairs are actively grouping up at every node site, most prominently on Charlotte's dominant main tower Foliage Check: The fan leaves on both plants remain an incredibly vibrant, healthy green (1000003325.jpg), showing that the FOOP nutrient uptake is smooth and perfectly balanced for this stage of life. Grower's Note: Watching a single strain express itself in two totally distinct structural shapes because of a simple twist in training is what makes grow diaries so rewarding. Charlotte is maximizing her main vertical column, while Makayla is converting her flat footprint into a broad field of tops. Next week, the bud swelling truly begins!

i accidently bought some unbuffered coco and mixed it with my ussual earth, had major calmag problems in mid-flower but iยดm still pleased with the results...also had a little trouble with mold at the end due to bad weather and high humidity in the final weeks of the grow, had to remove a few buds and harvest early @ day 55 of flower....but there's still alot of great looking buds left for me to enjoy and all look mostly done... Just harvested and hung them upside down, currently drying them at constant 19.5-20.5ยฐC and 50-60% RH..will update as soon as they are dry

Mรถge die Macht mit euch sein Growmies! Die Alderaan Cookies Automatic ist ein wunderschรถner strain der mittlerweile an einigen Buds rosa / lila Pistillen Fรคden auszubilden. Auch der strech war ordentlich sind nach genau 35 Tagen jetzt 61cm Hoch und einen schรถnen Weihnachtsbaum wuchs dank LST. Es ist ein erdiger Zitrusfrรผchte Geruch den sie schon verstrรถmt und neben Buds auch schon Harz entwickelt. Wahrscheinlich bis jetzt eine Augenweide wie ich finde โค๏ธ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ

It's the 4th week! Stilling doing the mainlining, for some reason I found myself training the branches to form a bull horn shape, maybe I'll mount it on the wall after this first grow, lmao. I added more CalMag this week, as now I'm thinking the rust/brown spots and tips are from a Calcium deficiency since I am using distilled water. Time to watch these leaves, and if it continues to rust it might be the VPD. Nov 28th - pH 6.0, PPM 860, 1.7 EC, Temp 70f, Humidity 50% Nov 29th - pH 6.3 -> 5.8, PPM 860, 1.7 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 55% Nov 30th - pH 5.8, PPM 860, 1.7 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 60% Dec 1st - pH 5.9, PPM 860, 1.7 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 70% Dec 2nd - pH 5.5 -> 5.9, PPM 840, 1.7 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 60% Dec 3rd - pH 5.9, PPM 810, 1.6 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 70% Dec 4th - pH 5.7, PPM 790, 1.6 EC, Temp 80f, Humidity 70%

Que pasa familia, vamos con la octava semana de floraciรณn de estas Black muffin F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lรญo, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de mรกs por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. Tambiรฉn se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros y el trasplante se realizรณ correctamente. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Tienen un aroma bastante fuerte, las flores parece que estรกn prietas y estรกn repletas de tricomas. Las jodidas han estirado bastante, ya veremos que ocurre como termina todo. Hasta aquรญ todo, Buenos humos ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ

Aktueller Zustand der Pflanze (siehe Bild): Die Pflanze prรคsentiert sich aktuell in einem hervorragenden Zustand und entwickelt sich prรคchtig. Trotz der Herausforderungen, die wir im Laufe dieses Grows hatten, sind die Ergebnisse mehr als ermutigend. * Wuchsform: Die Pflanze hat sich sehr buschig und kompakt entwickelt, mit einer Vielzahl von gut ausgebildeten Seitentrieben, die alle dicht mit Blรผten besetzt sind. Dies deutet auf eine exzellente Lichtausnutzung und eine gelungene Verzweigung hin, wahrscheinlich durch gezieltes Training in der Vegetationsphase. * Blรผtenqualitรคt: Die Buds sind auffallend dicht und zeigen eine beeindruckende Harzproduktion. Die Trichome sind bereits deutlich sichtbar und glรคnzen, was auf eine hohe Potenz und Aromaentwicklung hindeutet. Die Stigmen (Blรผtenhรคrchen) sind grรถรŸtenteils bernsteinfarben verfรคrbt, was auf eine fortgeschrittene Reifephase hinweist und die bevorstehende Ernte ankรผndigt. * Blattgesundheit: Die Blรคtter sind weiterhin grรถรŸtenteils grรผn und vital. Einige der grรถรŸeren Fรคcherblรคtter im unteren Bereich zeigen die fรผr die spรคte Blรผtephase typischen Vergilbungen, da die Pflanze ihre letzten Energiereserven in die Blรผtenbildung umlagert. Dies ist ein natรผrlicher Prozess und kein Anzeichen fรผr akute Mรคngel in diesem Stadium. Herausforderungen und Erkenntnisse aus diesem Grow: Wir hatten im Laufe dieses Durchgangs mit einer Volatilitรคt des pH-Wertes zu kรคmpfen, die zeitweise nur schwer zu stabilisieren war. Dies fรผhrte zu der Notwendigkeit, den pH-Wert der Nรคhrlรถsung hรคufiger anzupassen. Nach genauerer Beobachtung wurde die Hauptursache fรผr diese pH-Schwankungen identifiziert: Algenbildung auf der Oberflรคche der Steinwolle. Diese Algen konkurrierten nicht nur um Nรคhrstoffe, sondern trugen auch maรŸgeblich zu den instabilen pH-Werten bei. Learnings fรผr den nรคchsten Grow: Um die Algenbildung und damit die pH-Problematik zukรผnftig zu vermeiden, sind folgende MaรŸnahmen geplant: * Reduzierung der Steinwollwรผrfel-GrรถรŸe: Es werden kleinere Steinwollwรผrfel fรผr die Keimung und Startphase verwendet. * Einsatz von mehr Tonkugeln (Leca): Die Steinwollwรผrfel werden im nรคchsten Grow deutlich besser mit Tonkugeln abgedeckt, um die Oberflรคche vollstรคndig vor Licht zu schรผtzen. Dies wird die Algenbildung effektiv unterbinden und somit zu einem stabileren pH-Wert beitragen. Ausblick: Trotz der aufgetretenen Schwierigkeiten bin ich mit dem aktuellen Zustand der Pflanze รคuรŸerst zufrieden. Sie ist ein starkes Beispiel dafรผr, wie widerstandsfรคhig diese Pflanzen sein kรถnnen, wenn die Grundversorgung stimmt und auf Probleme reagiert wird. Ich freue mich auf die bevorstehende Ernte und bin gespannt auf die Qualitรคt des Endprodukts.

Auto cinderella jack - Amazing week of growth. There are new nodes exploding from everywhere and its not showing signs of slowing down. They are currently loving the organic nutes and have started showing signs of flowering. Auto critical cheese - this plant has shot up recently. It was planted a week later that the ACJ but is growing some seriously fat fan leaves. Should be a nice yeilder. Peanut butter cookies - this girl is looking pretty sorry for herself. I am intentionally trying to keep her as small as possible so that I can get the autos out before flipping into flower but she is gonna be a beast. Will transplant into a final pot in the next day or so.

Week 13 First signs of flowering are visible. I've added some more photos of how I bend and lower a branch that is too long with the kebab stick method. I bend the branch than carefully insert a kebab stick over it so the middle area of the stick is over the branch while each sides touch the bottom of a bamboo stick of the SCROG rack. The upward force of the branch will fixate the stick into place. This can be a low stress and safer alternative for super cropping where you risk snapping the stalk and potentially ruining it.

๐Ÿ’œ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Harvest Diary ๐ŸŒฟ Purple Haze by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno A ๐Ÿ‘‘ THE BIG MAMA HAS ARRIVED IN THE STUDIO! โ€” A QUEEN DESERVES HER PHOTOSHOOT! ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š MY FRIENDS... PLEASE, MAKE SOME ROOM! THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’œ And when I say queen, I'm not exaggerating. Well... Maybe a little. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ But look at this girl! Our Purple Haze Pheno A. Our Big Mama. The girl who grew into a substantial, beautiful plant under our 12/12-from-seed approach. The girl who kept building, kept developing, and kept making herself noticed in the 8ร—8 jungle. And now? She's made it all the way to the harvest diary! ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ‘‘ We've spent weeks documenting her journey, watching her develop, following her flowering progress, and wondering how far she was going to take those beautiful flowers. We watched the structure develop. We watched the flowers become more substantial. We admired those colours and the visible resin. And eventually, we reached the moment when her growing chapter came to an end. But we're not jumping straight into the trimming today. Oh, no. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ First, we need to appreciate the girl herself. Because before we start talking about trimming, aromas, flavours, and all the details of the post-harvest process, I want to give Big Mama her moment. We dried her as a whole plant, with a few branches taken separately for photographs and a little studio session. And, naturally, once the camera came out... THINGS GOT OUT OF HAND! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’œ We have a ridiculous number of photographs. Seriously. RIDICULOUS. And this is only the beginning! The trimming process, the aromas, the flavours, and the rest of the post-harvest story will have their own report next. For this chapter, we're looking back at her beautiful journey, appreciating her flowers after drying, and giving the Queen the photographic spotlight she deserves. So, everyone... Welcome to the Big Mama photoshoot! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“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”€ ๐ŸŒฑ FROM SEED TO QUEEN โ€” A JOURNEY THROUGH THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE Before we get lost in the photographs, let's take a moment to remember where this girl came from. Purple Haze Pheno A was part of our 8ร—8 Adventure, where we followed twelve individual plants and phenotypes through a shared growing project. One of the central ideas behind this adventure was our 12/12-from-seed approach. Rather than giving these plants a conventional extended vegetative period before flowering, we documented how they developed under a 12-hours-on, 12-hours-off light schedule from the beginning. And the results? Twelve plants. Twelve personalities. Twelve individual stories. And plenty of differences to keep us interested! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Purple Haze Pheno A became one of the girls that really stood out. She developed into a substantial plant, with an impressive presence in the room and beautiful flowers that kept drawing our attention. Throughout her diary, we watched her progress week after week. We documented her structure. We followed the development of her flowers. We looked at the changes in her pistils and colours. And we kept asking the same question: "Big Mama... how much further are you planning to take this?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ She certainly wasn't shy about making herself noticed. And by the time we reached the final growing chapters, she had earned that Big Mama title. Now we're looking at the next part of her journey. The growing chapter is complete. The plant was harvested and dried as a whole plant. And we're ready to document what came after. 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‘‘ BIG MAMA โ€” A PLANT WITH PRESENCE Some plants catch your attention because they're unusual. Others catch your attention because of their structure. And then there are plants like this girl... The ones that simply make you stop and look. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ Purple Haze Pheno A had that presence throughout her journey. She became a substantial plant, and her overall structure made her one of those girls that was difficult to overlook when looking across the room. But what I really appreciate is how her story developed over time. We didn't simply meet her at the end and decide she was impressive. We followed her from seed. We documented the different stages. We watched the flowers develop. And we saw how she gradually became the Big Mama we're celebrating today. That's what makes the photographs so valuable. When you look at a finished flower on its own, you see the result. When you follow the complete diary, you see the journey behind it. And I love being able to bring those two perspectives together. Purple Haze Pheno A wasn't just a beautiful harvest-day subject. She was a character throughout the entire adventure. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ And now she's getting the spotlight one more time. 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 DENSE, COMPACT & BEAUTIFUL Now, let's talk about what we're seeing in these photographs. Because the flowers deserve their own moment! ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ One of the things that stands out is their dense, compact appearance. The individual flowers have a substantial look, with tightly packed structures that make them visually striking. And then there's the colour. The combination of green tones, warmer orange and brownish pistil colours, and the visible resin gives the flowers a beautiful appearance. Some angles show off the overall shape. Others bring us closer to the individual flower structures. And the studio photographs let us appreciate details that can be difficult to capture when we're photographing a full plant inside a grow room. This is where the visual side of the harvest diary becomes especially enjoyable. We're no longer trying to fit the entire plant into one frame. We can focus on individual flowers, change the angle, and appreciate the details. The result is a collection of photographs that shows different sides of the same girl. And Big Mama certainly gave us plenty to photograph! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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 THE STUDIO SESSION โ€” BECAUSE A QUEEN DESERVES PORTRAITS Now, my friends... Let's talk about the photoshoot. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“ธ After the whole-plant drying stage, we took a few branches separately so we could photograph them in the studio. And once we started taking pictures, we ended up with a collection that grew much faster than our plans! You know how it goes. You take one photograph. Then you notice another angle. Then the light catches the flower differently. Then you see another detail you want to capture. Then you look at the photograph and think: "Okay, one more!" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ And suddenly, one more becomes twenty more. And twenty more becomes a whole photographic project. WELCOME TO MY WORLD! ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’š The studio session gives us a different way to appreciate Purple Haze Pheno A. We can isolate individual flowers from the background, bring attention to their structure, and capture their colours and resin in greater detail. The close-ups are especially rewarding because they allow us to appreciate the compact appearance of the flowers and the little details that make each one unique. And, of course, we also have photographs of the larger branches and the plant's overall harvest presentation. Different views. Different details. Same Queen. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’Ž I wanted to give her a proper photoshoot because she has been such an important part of this project. And if there's one thing Big Mama deserves after her journey... It's a little time in front of the camera! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’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˜‚ THE PRE-TRIMMING PHOTOGRAPHS โ€” THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS! Right. We need to address the elephant in the room. Or perhaps the elephant in the camera roll. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ˜ LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF PHOTOGRAPHS! I know, my friends. I KNOW! We have photographs from the harvest. Photographs from the drying stage. Photographs of branches. Photographs of individual flowers. Close-ups. Different angles. Studio shots. More close-ups. And then... MORE CLOSE-UPS! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ At some point, I probably should have put the camera down. But apparently, that wasn't going to happen. Because every time I looked at Big Mama, I found another detail worth capturing. And when you're documenting a plant from seed to harvest, it's hard not to want to preserve as much of that journey as possible. These pre-trimming photographs are an important part of the record. They show the flowers before the trimming process changes their presentation. They preserve the way the branches and flowers looked after drying. And they give us a visual reference for the next chapter, when we'll move into the trimming process itself. So yes... There are a LOT of photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“ธ And no, this isn't even everything! We already have enough material for the next report, which will focus on the trimming day and the details that come with it. For now, I want you to enjoy the photoshoot. Because the Queen has earned her moment. 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 FULL-PLANT DRYING โ€” AN IMPORTANT PART OF HER STORY Another important part of this harvest diary is the way we documented the drying stage. Purple Haze Pheno A was dried as a whole plant. We also removed a few branches for the separate photographs and studio session. That gives us two different visual perspectives in this report. The wider harvest and drying photographs show the plant in its overall form. The branch and studio photographs let us focus on individual flowers and their appearance after drying. Both are useful parts of the documentation. The whole-plant view helps preserve the context of the harvest. The closer photographs let us appreciate the flowers themselves. And together, they help bridge the gap between the end of the growing journey and the trimming report that comes next. We're keeping the two reports separate because there's a lot to show, and I don't want to rush through either part. The harvest and drying stage deserves attention. The trimming process deserves attention too. And the post-harvest story will be much easier to follow when we give each stage its own space. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“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 THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE โ€” TWELVE PLANTS, TWELVE STORIES For anyone discovering this diary through Purple Haze Pheno A, welcome to the 8ร—8 Adventure! This project follows twelve individual plants and phenotypes, with each diary giving one plant her own space. During their time in the main room, the plants shared the same general growing environment, lighting ecosystem, and overall approach to nutrition and care. But they didn't all express themselves in the same way. Some remained compact. Some grew taller. Some developed at a faster pace. Others took their time. And Purple Haze Pheno A became one of the girls that really made her presence felt. Our Big Mama! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ The 12/12-from-seed approach gave us the opportunity to follow the plants through their individual development without treating every plant as though it would produce the same structure or timeline. And now, as we reach the harvest diaries, we're able to look back at the complete journey. That's one of the most rewarding parts of documenting a project like this. We don't just show the final photographs. We preserve the story that led to them. Twelve plants. Twelve personalities. Twelve individual diaries. And one very photogenic Purple Haze Queen! ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ“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“ธ WHY WE SPLIT THE HARVEST REPORTS Some of you might be wondering why we're dividing this into multiple reports. Well... Have you SEEN the camera roll? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I think that answers the question! But there's another reason. I want each stage to be easy to follow. This report focuses on Big Mama's journey, her whole-plant drying stage, and the photographs taken before trimming. The next report will focus on the trimming process and the rest of the post-harvest experience. That gives us room to discuss the process properly instead of squeezing everything into one enormous update. And trust me... There's enough material for that next chapter too! ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ We'll leave the detailed trimming discussion, the aromas, the flavours, and our post-harvest reflections for the next report. I want to keep those details together so the story flows naturally from the dried plant to the finished trimming stage. For now, we're celebrating the Queen and appreciating the flowers as they appear in this collection. One chapter at a time. And apparently, one hundred photographs at a time! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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’œ THE QUEEN DESERVES HER SPOTLIGHT There's something satisfying about reaching this stage of a diary. You start with a seed. You document the early development. You follow the plant as it grows. You watch the flowers form. You take photographs week after week. And eventually, you reach the harvest. Then comes the drying stage, followed by the next part of the post-harvest process. Every stage adds another piece to the story. And with Purple Haze Pheno A, we've had plenty of opportunities to appreciate her individual character. She was a substantial plant. She was beautiful. Her flowers developed into dense, compact structures. And she gave us more than enough material for a proper studio session. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“ธ This report isn't about making exaggerated claims or trying to turn every photograph into a promise about the final result. It's about documenting what we see and celebrating the journey that brought us here. The Queen has arrived at the next stage. And we're giving her the attention she deserves. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ 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 COME JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

What a journey this girl has given us. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ From seed to harvest, Purple Haze Pheno A has been one of the memorable characters in our 8ร—8 Adventure. We followed her development under our 12/12-from-seed approach. We watched her become a substantial plant. We documented her flowering progress. We admired her structure and the development of her flowers. And now, after completing the growing and whole-plant drying stages, we're finally looking at her through the lens of the harvest diary. The flowers are dense. The appearance is compact. The colours are beautiful. And the studio photographs give us a chance to appreciate her from a completely different perspective. I love being able to look back at the journey and compare those early growing photographs with the material we're sharing now. It's a reminder of why documenting each stage matters. Every photograph preserves a moment. Every report adds another piece of the story. And together, they give us a record of the journey from seed to harvest. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒฟ And yes... We took too many photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ But I'm not going to apologise for giving the Queen her photoshoot! The pre-trimming photographs are here, and the next chapter will take us into the trimming process itself. We'll save the detailed discussion of trimming, aromas, flavours, and the rest of the post-harvest experience for that report. For now, let's appreciate Big Mama. Let's admire those dense, compact flowers. Let's enjoy the studio session. And let's celebrate another milestone in the 8ร—8 Adventure. The growing chapter is complete. The drying stage has been documented. The Queen has had her portraits taken.

From seed. Through the 12/12-from-seed adventure. Into flowering. Through harvest. Through whole-plant drying. And now, into the studio for her close-ups! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“ธ She's been a beautiful plant to follow, and I'm glad we took the time to document her journey properly. But we're not finished yet. The next report will bring us into the trimming stage, where we'll continue documenting the post-harvest process, the aromas, the flavours, and everything else that belongs in that next chapter. So stay tuned, my friends. The Queen has had her photoshoot. Now we prepare for the next part of her story. Until then... Growers Love & Happy Growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ Take care, everyone. And to our Purple Haze Big Mama... Thank you for the journey, girl. Thank you for the flowers. And thank you for giving us enough photographs to keep the camera busy until next season! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Keep shining, Queen. We'll see you in the trimming report! ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ
