Purple Haze Auto by Zamnesia 💜🌱
Week 1 Vegetation | Finding Her Rhythm
Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱
Welcome back to another week of this seed-to-harvest adventure.
Today we’re looking at Purple Haze Auto – Pheno A, one of the girls sharing the room with the rest of the current project and already showing some very promising early development.
As with the other cultivars in this run, the objective remains simple:
Create a complete and honest record from seed to harvest while documenting not only the successes but also the small variations that make every phenotype unique.
And during this first week, Purple Haze A has already started showing a little personality of her own.

Settling Into Her Final Home
Like all plants in this project, Purple Haze A was transplanted directly into her final 15-liter container filled with Plagron Lightmix.
Because this entire run follows a 12/12-from-seed approach, I prefer giving the roots their final destination immediately rather than introducing additional transplant events later.
The reasoning is simple.
Every day matters when growing under a shortened photoperiod.
By avoiding future transplants, the plant can dedicate its energy toward root expansion and vegetative development from the very beginning.
The goal is uninterrupted momentum.
And so far, she seems very happy with the arrangement.
⸻
Environment
Environmental conditions remained identical to the rest of the garden throughout the week.
🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C
🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C
💧 Humidity: 55%
🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C
☁️ CO₂: Approximately 600 ppm
Lighting was provided by the Future Of Grow Black Series LED system at approximately 350 PPFD under a 12/12 light schedule.
At first glance, 350 PPFD may seem relatively strong for a young seedling.
However, because these plants only receive 12 hours of light each day, total Daily Light Integral (DLI) remains significantly lower than what would be delivered under an 18/6 schedule.
The objective is to allow seedlings to adapt early to stronger light levels while still maintaining a safe and balanced daily light exposure.
So far, Purple Haze A appears to be responding extremely well.

Nutrition
The first irrigation consisted only of water, allowing the seedling to establish itself naturally within the fresh substrate.
A few days later, a very gentle feeding program was introduced consisting of:
• Plagron Terra Grow
• Plagron Power Roots
• Plagron Pure Zym
• Plagron Sugar Royal
All applied at light concentrations appropriate for young plants.
At this stage the focus remains root development rather than aggressive top growth.
Healthy roots first.
Everything else follows.

First Week Observations
Purple Haze A delivered a very enjoyable first week.
During the earliest days, some of the leaf development appeared slightly quirky and uneven, which is not uncommon during the seedling stage. Young plants often produce small irregularities while they establish themselves, and most of the time they quickly grow through them.
That’s exactly what happened here.
As the week progressed, growth became increasingly symmetrical and vigorous.
New leaves emerged rapidly.
Color remained healthy.
Leaf posture stayed positive.
And by the end of the week she rewarded us with beautifully formed three-finger leaves.
One of my favorite observations was how “awake” she looked throughout the week.
The leaves consistently displayed that upward praying posture growers love to see, suggesting she was comfortable with both the environment and the light intensity being provided.
Nothing dramatic.
Nothing complicated.
Just a young plant doing exactly what a healthy young plant should do.
⸻
Looking Ahead
Week one was all about establishment.
Roots exploring fresh substrate.
The plant adapting to its final container.
Early nutrition beginning to support new growth.
And Purple Haze A gradually transforming from a small seedling into a young vegetative plant.
The slightly quirky first leaves have already begun giving way to more defined growth, and the appearance of those strong three-finger leaves suggests she’s settling into her stride nicely.
The real fun begins from here.
Over the coming weeks we’ll continue following her structure, vigor, and whatever unique Purple Haze traits decide to reveal themselves along the way.
For now, she’s healthy, growing steadily, and looking very comfortable in her new home.
A fantastic start to Week 1.
Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along on another seed-to-harvest adventure.
Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚💜
