First auto run! Fastbuds , Seedsman & Victory seeds! Never done autos before so excited to see how this goes! Day 5 and 2 of the NHL’s from Victory seeds still hasn’t popped😫😬

Very vigorous plants✅

there are very few amber trichomes, so it still needs a week. it sure looks great though. It's extremely greasy to the touch, and rank with bright fruit flavor.

chopped on day 65 of flower 9,5 weeks flower total

This plant smells AWESOME, it's covered in trichomes and has a really strong fruity smell. I fed her nothing but dechlorinated tap water for the last week, im going to top dress the soil with one more round of gaia green bloom and start flushing in two weeks.

18 plants, 5 strains. Each plant has 3 main buds. By means of LST I tried to make them all the same height. Because the plants have now stopped growing, leading is no longer necessary. The plants are still attached to the plant sticks with tie strips to support the buds when they get heavy later on. Lots and large leaves, and therefore a weekly large defoliation every week. The trichomes begin to appear. I have 3 phenotypes out of 5 Mango Crunches. 2 plants have pronounced sativa genetics. 2 plants are rather hybrid. 1 plant is mostly indica. All buds have a pleasant fruity smell. MC # 1 - 76cm - small plant, mostly indica, dense buds with many trichomes MC # 2 - 115cm - just the opposite of # 1 sativa type, very large plant with few leaves and very thin buds, curious how this plant will develop further MC # 3 - 106cm - just like # 2 sativa phenotype MC # 6 - 90cm - beautiful plant, few leaves with many beautiful thick white flowers. Hybrid type. MC # 7 - 92cm - also a beautiful plant, hybrid type like # 6 but with a slightly lesser bud production

- Second Week Started with a light dosage of Base A - Base B - Vege - Silica - around 0.5 ML per Liter Kitty decided to be curious and do a taste test while I was changing the reservoir Had a planned trip so I loaded up the water and left her to chill, hopefully my cat didn't do much damage.

Buds should be dried in the dark, 50% humidity, at 20 degrees

Not much to show this week on the timelapse as we had a cold snap and power went out momentarily, and as such, the camera stopped recording, without me realizing this. So I have also added a little video of the rooms progress. Even with the small bit of footage, I can see that my feeding schedule twice a day seems to keep the leaves from drooping at any time in the video, so I will be keeping this going as is, checking the PH every couple of days and topping up the nutes bucket as needed. I am noticing some leaves dying, but they seem to be mostly ones that are not getting enough light and I am removing them as I go. The upper leaves and buds are looking strong so far, and just a touch of smell in the room. The colas are also starting to thicken and my fingers are getting sticky and stinky when working around them. Looking at the plants from a normal distance, they don't look very crystally, but the close up shots really are making them shine. After taking the pics, I like to zoom in on them and see all the crystals.

Hopefully only 2 weeks left 4th of feb

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Umstände.

💜 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! 💜🌿

420Fastbuds TrainWreckAuto Week 4 What up grow fam. Weekly update on these 2 wonderful ladies. This week I did introduce some nutes and the plants seem to respond amazing. Starting to see little pistols so guessing this will be the last week of veg before the transition into flower. All in all Happy Growing

Hello Folks 😎 8th week of flowering,it's time to flush these girls !!! 40 liters of water per plant, with ajusted ph ( 6.2 ) and the senescence has begun 👌 I managed to reduce the daytime temperature to 23 ° C and much cooler at night 15/16 ° c They are beautiful, the smell is powerful, and these buds are dense like rock !! I plan to harvest between 63 and 70 days, it depends on the maturation of trichomes ( already almost all milky ) Follow, like and comment if you enjoy it I also have a second diary with 2 Moby Dick Peace Love & Weed 😍👊

SLH#1 is more Sativa like, thinner leaves, bigger internodal space, smaller buds and looks like its going to take a little longer to finish flowering. SLH#2 is more Indica like, large leaves, more bushy, compact, bigger buds. They've been vegged for 3 months from seed, then clones were taken, 2 clones selected to become mother-plants (kept outside the fridge, in another cabinet), and 4 clones were sent to flower. They are in 7L containers, except for one plant (#2) that's in a 3L container. Vegged for 2 weeks after the transplant and then set lights to 12/12
