The pheno 5 has started to throw out HAZEY smell in the tropical mix. I can smell the slightly musky/cheezy/spicy scents of the haze. I think this is a trait that I will have to consider throughout the selection, since that haziness is certainly something we want to have when experiencing the Liberty HAZE ;)

Plants were stunted for a few days from transplant and roots took a long time to make their way down to water line.

๐Ÿ’œ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 Purple Haze by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B The Little Frosty Queen Is Still Shiningโ€ฆ Even When She Hides From The Camera ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And... well... I have a small confession to make. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Somehow... SOMEHOW... I managed to miss the individual photographs of our Purple Haze Pheno B this week. Again. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚ I know. I know. After all the talk about how much I love documenting these girls, here we are... with no dedicated photo stack of our little Frosty Queen. Apparently, she decided: "You've photographed my sister enough. This week, I'll be mysterious." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ But before anyone thinks she's disappeared... she hasn't. She's right there in the room. She's growing. She's beautiful. She's developing. She's doing exactly what she has been doing throughout this entire adventure. And thankfully, we do have general room photographs and a video showing the whole 8ร—8. So if you look closely... you can still find our little Purple Haze girl in there. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ And I may still find the missing photographs. I've been digging through different folders because I genuinely believe I took them. So... if they suddenly appear from some mysterious photographic dimension... I'll come back and update this week with her individual photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ For now, though... we work with what we have. And honestly? Even without the dedicated portraits... I know this girl. She's still beautiful. She's still shining. She's still growing. She's still doing her thing. She's simply doing it a little slower than her sister. And that's perfectly okay. So let's give our little Frosty Queen the spotlight anyway. โ„๏ธ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”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 12 โ€“ THE GIRL WHO DOESN'T NEED TO RUSH โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Purple Haze Pheno B continues to be exactly who she has shown us throughout this adventure. Compact. Beautiful. Frosty. And... slow. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ Especially when you put her next to her sister. Purple Haze Pheno A has apparently discovered the accelerator pedal and refuses to let go. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿš€ Pheno B? She's driving with the windows down and enjoying the scenery. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And that's okay. Because when I look at Pheno B, I don't see a plant that's failing to keep up. I see a plant following her own rhythm. She's developing. She's flowering. She's continuing to build. She's maintaining her beautiful appearance. And she's slowly becoming more substantial. She's simply doing it on her own timetable. That's one of the most important things this 8ร—8 Adventure continues to teach me. Not every plant needs to move at the same speed. 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 SMALLER THAN HER SISTER โ€“ BUT STILL A BEAUTY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There's no question about it. Purple Haze Pheno B is smaller than her sister. And right now, she's also somewhat behind her in visible flowering development. But that's not a criticism. It's an observation. And there's a huge difference. Her sister is moving extremely quickly. The flowers are becoming enormous. The week-to-week changes are dramatic. Pheno B is taking a different road. She's more compact. She's slower. She's developing at a more measured pace. And yet... she's beautiful. That's what matters. Because if I walked into the room without knowing which plant was which, I wouldn't look at her and think: "What's wrong with this plant?" I'd look at her and think: "There's our little Purple Haze." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ She has her own appearance. Her own structure. Her own rhythm. Her own identity. And that's exactly what we want to document. 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 THE FROSTY QUEEN IS STILL FROSTY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ If there's one characteristic that has remained impossible to ignore with this girl... it's the frost. โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ Even without this week's individual macro session, I know what I'm seeing when I look at her in the room. That beautiful resin-covered character is still there. The flowers continue developing. The surrounding sugar leaves continue carrying that frosty appearance. And when the room lighting hits her from the right angle... she catches the light beautifully. She's not the biggest girl. She's not the fastest. But she has something that makes you stop. You see her. You look closer. And there she is. Our little Frosty Queen. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ That's her identity now. And honestly... I wouldn't change 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”€ ๐Ÿ‘ญ TWO SISTERS โ€“ TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CLOCKS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The contrast between Purple Haze Pheno A and Pheno B continues to be one of my favourite things about this project. Same genetic line. Same room. Same lighting. Same general environment. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional foundation. And yet... completely different development speeds. Pheno A is flying. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ Pheno B is cruising. ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ˜‚ And that's exactly why having both in the same room is so valuable. If I only had one Purple Haze plant, I might look at her development and think: "This is how Purple Haze behaves." But because we have two phenotypes sharing the same environment... we can see that there isn't necessarily one single expression. There are differences. There are personalities. There are rhythms. There are individual plants. And Pheno B is giving us a beautiful example of that. 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 SLOW DOESN'T MEAN STOPPED โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is something I want to repeat because it is important. She's slower. She's not stopped. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ There's a massive difference. She's still developing flowers. She's still changing. She's still growing. She's still using the environment. She's still building. She's simply doing it more slowly than the girl standing beside her. And honestly? That's okay. Plants don't read our weekly schedules. They don't know that we've labelled something "Week 12." They don't look at the diary and think: "Shit, better hurry up." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŒฟ They have their own biological timing. And this girl has made her timing pretty obvious. She takes her time. She does her thing. And eventually... she gets there. 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 GREAT PHOTO HUNT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Now... let's talk about the elephant in the room. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Where the hell are her photographs? I genuinely think I took them. I've been looking through folders. Different folders. Old folders. New folders. Folders that apparently contain everything except the photographs I'm actually looking for. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ๐Ÿ“ธ So I'm still hunting. And if I find them... I'll come back and update this week's diary with her individual photographs. Because she deserves them. But for now, we have the general room photographs. And we also have a video showing the entire room. And she's in there. You can see her. You can find her. You just need to play: "Where's Purple Haze Pheno B?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”Ž๐Ÿ’œ It's basically a grow-room version of Where's Wally. Except Wally is a frosty little Purple Haze plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ And honestly... I'm sorry, girl. You deserved your own portrait session this week. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŽฅ SOMETIMES THE WHOLE ROOM TELLS THE STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The funny thing is... although I always prefer having dedicated photographs of each phenotype, the general room photographs and video actually give us something different. They show context. They show where she sits. They show her relationship with the rest of the canopy. They show the scale of the room. And they remind us of something important: This isn't twelve separate grows. It's one 8ร—8 environment. Twelve individual plants living inside it. And Purple Haze Pheno B is part of that larger picture. She's there. She's growing. She's developing. She's simply not standing in front of the camera this week saying: "Look at me." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Maybe she's shy. 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 SAME PHOTONS โ€“ DIFFERENT RESPONSE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The environment hasn't changed specifically for her. The upgraded lighting remains in place. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures continue providing the extra lighting capacity. We've kept the output controlled rather than simply running everything at maximum. We're still working around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally varying intensity according to height and position. And Pheno B is receiving those same photons. Just like her sister. Just like the rest of the room. But look at the result. Her response is different. Her development speed is different. Her structure is different. Her timing is different. And that's the beautiful part. The photons are the same. The plant's interpretation isn't. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’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”€ โ˜€๏ธ MORE LIGHTING CAPABILITY โ€“ CONTROLLED โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I continue to really like the additional lighting setup. The point was never simply: "Let's make the room as bright as physically possible." ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ The point was to increase our capability. More available lighting. More flexibility. More control. And then find the level that makes sense for the room. The additional Future of Grow fixtures gave us that headroom. We don't have to run them flat out. We can control the output. And that means we have more capability without automatically turning that capability into wasted electricity. Purple Haze Pheno B gets the same opportunity as everyone else. What she does with that opportunity? That's her story. 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 STILL MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Even without the dedicated photographs this week, the general room images and the video show us something important. She's still developing. She's not suddenly standing still because her sister is moving faster. She's still part of the flowering progression. The structure is continuing to develop. The flowers are continuing to gain definition. And her overall appearance remains beautiful. That's what I want to emphasize. We shouldn't confuse: "not moving as quickly as Pheno A" with: "not progressing." Those are completely different statements. Pheno B is progressing. She's just doing it at her own speed. And that's okay. 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€“ NOW WE START EASING BACK โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ As we move further into the later stages of the flowering cycle, we're also beginning to change the nutritional approach. And this is something I personally prefer to do gradually. I don't like the idea of working with mineral nutrition and suddenly going: "Right. Zero everything tomorrow." ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's just not how I prefer to approach the transition. Instead, I like to start reducing the nutritional input progressively as the plants move toward their final stages. Small steps. Controlled changes. Watching the plants. Allowing the transition to happen rather than slamming the door shut overnight. And that's what we're beginning to do across the room. Pheno B is included in that gradual transition. We're not trying to force her because she's slower. We're simply allowing the entire room to move forward while continuing to observe each plant individually. Her development may be slower than her sister's... but her needs are still her needs. And that's something I always want to respect. 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 WEEK 12 โ€“ ROOM CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room continues to remain broadly stable around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h ? Pot size: 15 L The important thing here is that the room remains the room. We're not changing everything because one plant is slower. We're maintaining the overall environment while paying attention to the individual responses. And Purple Haze Pheno B continues to tell us: "I'm good. Just give me time." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ Fair enough, girl. 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 DOING LESS โ€“ SEEING MORE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is becoming one of the biggest themes of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Earlier in the grow, there was plenty to do. Training. Canopy management. Defoliation. Positioning. Adjustments. Decisions. Now? A lot of the job is observation. And I actually love that. Because when the plants are healthy and developing, you don't need to invent work. You need to pay attention. Look. Measure. Listen. Watch. And if something is needed... respond. Otherwise? Let the plant grow. Purple Haze Pheno B doesn't need me constantly touching her. She needs time. And she's getting 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”€ ๐Ÿ’œ HER SISTER MAY BE FLYING โ€“ SHE'S STILL SHINING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the biggest thing I want to leave with everyone this week. Yes... Pheno A is absolutely flying. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”ฅ Her flowers are becoming enormous. Her weekly changes are dramatic. She's moving incredibly quickly. But that doesn't make Pheno B less interesting. Quite the opposite. Pheno B gives us the comparison. She's showing us another expression. Another pace. Another architecture. Another flowering rhythm. And when you put both girls into the same room... that's when the experiment really comes alive. One says: "Let's go!" The other says: "Relax." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ And both are 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”ฌ THIS IS WHY THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE EXISTS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is exactly why I wanted to run these plants together. Not to prove that one phenotype is better. Not to make every plant behave identically. But to watch what happens when different plants receive a shared environment. The room becomes our constant. The genetics become the variable. And the plants provide the answers. Purple Haze Pheno B is giving us a particularly interesting answer. She's smaller. She's slower. She's frosty. She's compact. She's beautiful. And she's completely herself. That's enough. More than enough. 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 LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN STILL DESERVES THE CROWN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Even without the photographs... I'm not taking the crown away from her. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธ Because she continues to shine. She's not the biggest girl. She's not the fastest. She's not trying to compete. But she has her own presence. She has her own look. And when you know the plants well enough... you can spot her. You know her structure. You know her rhythm. You know that frost. You know that little compact personality. She's become recognizable. And that's one of the coolest parts of following a plant for twelve weeks. You stop seeing a label. You start seeing a personality. Purple Haze Pheno B. The little Frosty Queen. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ More development. More flowers. More resin. More evolution. And hopefully... more photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ I'm going to keep looking. And if I find her missing photographs hiding somewhere inside the chaos of my folders... they're coming straight into this diary. But even without them, the journey continues. We'll keep watching her through the general room photographs. We'll keep watching the videos. We'll keep watching the plant itself. And most importantly... we'll let her decide her own pace. No rushing. No forcing. No pretending she's moving at the same speed as her sister. She's not. And that's perfectly fine. 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 FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ STILL SHINING WITHOUT THE 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”€ Week 12.

She's simply doing it at a slower pace than her sister. And this week... we somehow managed to forget her photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ My apologies to everyone following her diary. And especially to the little Queen herself. If I find those photographs hiding somewhere in the endless folder jungle... I'll update this week. Until then, we have the general room photographs and the video showing the whole 8ร—8, where our little girl is still there doing exactly what she's supposed to be doing. And honestly? That's what matters. Because the plant doesn't stop being beautiful just because I forgot to take her portrait. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ She's still shining. She's still evolving. She's still catching photons. She's still building flowers. She's still showing that beautiful frosty expression. And she's still giving us one of the most interesting contrasts in the entire room. Her sister is flying. Pheno B is taking the scenic route. But both are telling us something valuable. Same genetic family. Different expression. Same room. Different rhythm. Same photons. Different response. And that's the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ So keep shining, little Frosty Queen. Take your time. Keep building. Keep doing your thing. We'll be watching. And next week...

1/2/23 - The lady is getting fairly close to harvest so I've added the dry KoolBloom to her mix... not real sure if you're supposed to use it WITH the liquid but since the liquid is already in the bucket and since it's really hard to get a potassium or phosphorus toxicity, yeah... why not! She'll be coming down in a week or two.... I'm kind of excited! OH! And btw, this lady's leaves just naturally curl down - nothing I did changed that, EVER... and she certainly didn't have a nitrogen toxicity and her pH was always pretty spot on... it's just the way she grows... she's, well, DIFFERENT! LOL! 01/03 - Really bulking up all over... trichs are getting pretty milky so it shouldn't be long now! 01-06 - Reduced her EC to 0.6 for the next couple of days. Going to harvest on Sunday, I think! 01/04 - She's really happy... REALLY happy! And I'm so happy with her!! 01/05 - I've pretty much decided she's going to get the chop this weekend. Since her CBD:THC is 30:1, I'm not going to get amber trichs on her so am relying on other means to measure her readiness for harvest... her fade is continuing, her pistils are becoming mostly brown, her buds are pretty fat and dense, her EC is rising and pH really falling madly so she's telling me she's got way too much food at present (and I haven't increased that at all) ... which means she's probably leeching nutes into the water ... anyway, this weekend will be her last ... I'll change out the bucket today and just put her on FloraKleen for a couple of days... Trim jail, here I come! :-D Happily!! 01/07 - tomorrow is the day...

Growing well. Just fed 12 cups Ph'd water (6.3). Lots of cold humid air coming in from outside, plus with the half soil half coco mix I think they're holding water a long time. They're only needing water once a week right now. They were not impressed with the water-only feeding. Some leaves got burnt tips, some got small yellow dots that look like spores or insects but I don't think are either. I think it's some kind of nutrient or pH unhappiness. I only gave 2/3 of the amount of water I normally would, hoping that they will dry out soon and I can give a proper feeding and check runoff pH. I left them alone for a couple days and boosted the 1000w back up to 100% to dry things out a bit more. The buds loved it but I think it's damaging the leaves a bit. I put it back down to 75% just now. I forgot to adjust the intake fan from outside down to low overnight from medium during the day and leaf temp was down to 13.3c when I woke up. Can't be doing that either.

Day 100 | 03/04/2022:๐Ÿ’ง I am back from my holiday today but I will only be able to harvest them at the end of the week, so I watered them today. but with a reduced 1L each because I still want them to be more on the dry side when I am taking them off Day 105 | 08/04/2022: Today was harvest day and the girls look sooooo dry and yellow omg.. ๐Ÿ˜… Maybe that 1L was not enough, but still it's better that they are on the dry side. They just all went so yellow in the last few weeks, obviously they werent getting any nutrients but also I harvested them a bit late

I was unable to use the full use of the Optic 2 LED due to height and heat issues. Which were impacting the amount of light each plant was receiving this stunting their growth. I have now brought/installed the HLG 260w Rspec and have noticed a improvement. The new light covers the canopy well and I am now able to give the plants more light which will hopefully help them develop better buds. The Blue Gelato #41 has responded well and has started to drink less which hopefully means she be ready for harvest in 4-5 weeks time. Although I have stopped using my PK boost, on my next run I will start the PK at the first sign of flower as I feel from week 4 is a little late. Happy growing ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿฟ

Getting there! Continuing to feed her Pride Lands Flower and GreenGro flower finisher. Add seaweed, humic acid and silica to the water. Iโ€™m thinking one more feeding and then just water and blackstrap molasses. I sure am going to miss this girl

She just can't seem to strop stretching, 140cm (or 120cm if you don't count the pot). I did everything I could at my original growing area but had to relocate her due to the size. Now she got amble room to not only stretch in height but also more space for branches. I started adding Green Sensation to my Nutrients mix. 1ml/L as recommended and will be added until the last week.

Divine Seeds Auto Contest Candy Outside Grow ๐Ÿ‘‰Sponsored Grow๐Ÿ‘ˆ W10 F6 8/3-9 I wish I could share this weekโ€™s weather with you. It was sunny and comfortable in the 70-80s with 50% humidity. This means that whatever the temperature is, the air feels like it, not 10-15 degrees hotter. My Auto Candy is a tall lady and has good node spacing so there is space for air flow. When I went outside this afternoon, the sun was hitting the main stalk, and she was shimmering. Looking at the bud structure, the leaves are more spread out than the other outside gals with minimal sugar leaves. So far, she is easy to grow and resistant to fungus and pests. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Letโ€™s continue to learn to grow together! Stay green, growers love ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ’ซNatrona๐Ÿ’ซ
