Well a couple issues in the grow room this week. The ladies got much bigger that I had expected! They trippled in size and now I have an issue of them getting a bit too tall. The light I am using says 30-36" above canopy...light is high as it can go and I'm about 28-32 above the canopy. From the info I've looked through I think I had light bleaching going on. I turned the light down 20% and doesn't seem to be happening any more. I am also having a war with the weather. I'm in canada and the weather is all over the place rite now. Drastic temp swings and humidity up and down. Other than this the ladies seem to be rolling along well . Can't wait for the colas to fill ! Staked all the branches in preparation for some hopefully big buds

Send help... the Pineapple Express has taken over the tent... she’s massive at 44-45” tall currently... stretch slowed down but she’s past the light at this point and even light angled doesn’t hit the very top of the main colas just yet. (Back left of tent) White widow looking great for the lollipopping method I used on her(front left of the tent) White widow 2 growing well, got a nice dose of ferts this week based on her light coloration(front middle) Berry white growing slowly still, tent is more suited for sativa dominant strains but this one gives the tent a bit more variety. (Middle back of tent) Purple trainwreck 2 growing like a beast this go round, she’s taking up half the tent almost by herself and filling in a 1.5x2 foot area in nicely. (Far right of tent) Purple trainwreck 1 bulking up extremely well, buds are nice and sticky, density is great so far on these buds. Hoping for another 14-20 days. Started her flush after giving her one more dose of nutes last week. Spotted first ambers on the trichomes... she’s only on day 45 of flower but the trichomes are already beginning to turn amber. I still suspect this strain to be semi-auto(has rudelaris genetics somewhere) and additional growing of this plant has simply increased this theory. The plant did have pistils when put into flower(18/6 lighting) but was a clone of a previous plant. She did reveg in 18/6 lighting and was cut from a flowering plant. I believe she had already transitioned into flowering since the plant had started opening pistils up again before being placed in 12/12. I believe she was a week or two into flower at the start of 12/12.

Still a few week before harvest. I have stopped adding N as much as possible to my nutrient solution. It might help the bud swell up a little more the last few weeks. Also been adding big bud and bud candy from Advanced Nutrients. I will feed the girls 2 weeks more before going into flush. My soil Sour diesel is ready for flush anytime soon. #1 (back right) have suffered from being to close to the light while also not having enough airflow around it. Have fixed the air problem but cant bring my light any further up. kept around 22 cm from the tallest branch 30< cm from the rest which is the minimum recommended. They smell really pungent and the suger leafs and buds are coted with crystals. My autoflower (front left) is doing good too and i really cant wait to taste it. A good week (kinda)

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 10 | This Girl Is on Fire! 🔥💜👑 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Okay... I've finally figured out the soundtrack for this girl. There is only one song playing in my head every single time I look at her. 🎶 “This girl is on fire...” 🎶 Yes. Alicia Keys. 😂🔥 And I swear... I can't look at Purple Haze Pheno A anymore without hearing that song in my head. Because... THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE. 🔥💜 Look at her. The colour. The structure. The flower formation. The stacking. The bud size. The trichomes. The density. Everything seems to be moving forward at once. And the funny thing? She's doing it fast. For a photoperiod running 12/12 from seed, she seems to be moving at a pace that sometimes makes me wonder if somebody secretly turned her into an autoflower when I wasn't looking. 😂 Of course, she's not. She's a photoperiod. She's following the same 12/12 schedule as the rest of the room. But somehow... when I look at her... she just seems to be moving. And moving quickly. So let's give this girl the spotlight she clearly came here to steal. 💜🔥👑 🔥 This Girl Is on Fire Last week I called Purple Haze Pheno A one of the most beautifully balanced plants in the room. This week? I'm upgrading the description. She's on fire. 😂🔥 The changes aren't necessarily about one gigantic transformation. It's the combination of everything happening together. The buds are stacking. The flower structures are becoming more substantial. The developing flowers are getting more definition. The trichome development is becoming increasingly visible. The colour remains beautiful. And the plant overall is starting to look like she's really finding her rhythm. This is one of those weeks where I walk into the room, look at her... and immediately stop. "Whoa." She's got that effect now. 💜 The Colour Is Still Beautiful Let's start with something I've loved about this phenotype from the beginning. That colour. Those deep greens are absolutely gorgeous. And as the flowers continue developing, the contrast between the dark foliage and the developing buds becomes even more striking. There's a richness to this plant. The leaves look deep and healthy. The flowers are standing out beautifully against them. And the whole plant has that incredibly photogenic quality that makes you want to keep taking another photograph. Then another. And another. Because every angle seems to show something different. The deeper I look... the more I see. And right now, I'm seeing a girl that's absolutely thriving in her own little corner of the 8×8 jungle. 🌸 The Buds Are Stacking This is probably the biggest thing catching my attention this week. The stacking. The flowers are becoming much more substantial, and the individual structures are starting to come together in a way that gives the plant a much more developed flowering appearance. We're not just looking at little flowering points anymore. We're starting to see real structure. Real volume. Real density beginning to develop. And it's happening throughout the plant. That makes me particularly excited because one of the things I've appreciated about Purple Haze Pheno A from the beginning has been her balance. She isn't just producing one impressive top. She's creating a beautiful overall flowering structure. And now those structures are starting to build on themselves. Layer by layer. Flower by flower. Week by week. Stacking. 🌸🔥 ❄️ And Those Trichomes... Oh boy. This is another part of the story that's becoming increasingly interesting. The trichome development is becoming much more noticeable, and when you get close enough to really look at the flowers... there's that sparkle. That little layer of frost. That tiny world happening on the surface of the flowers. This is where macro photography becomes dangerous. 😂📸 Because you start looking at one flower. Then you zoom in. Then you look at one little area. Then another. And suddenly you've forgotten that you went into the room to check something completely different. 😂💜 But that's what makes this stage so enjoyable. The plant is changing from something we simply observe from a distance into something that rewards increasingly close inspection. And Purple Haze? She's giving the camera plenty to work with. 🚀 Moving Like an Autoflower? Now here's something that genuinely makes me laugh. This girl is a photoperiod. She's running 12/12 from seed, just like the rest of the room. Yet when I look at her development... she sometimes looks like she's trying to beat the autoflowers to the finish line. 😂 I'm not saying she's actually ahead. She's still got plenty of flowering time ahead of her. And I know better than to start declaring winners at Week 10. But visually? She looks like she's moving extremely quickly. The flower formation. The stacking. The resin development. The overall maturity of the flowers. It all seems to be happening at a very nice pace. Maybe it's simply my eye. Maybe I'm getting excited because I'm watching her every week. Maybe the difference will become less obvious as the other girls catch up. Or maybe... this phenotype really is just moving. 😂🔥 That's what we'll find out. And that's the beauty of documenting the whole journey. We don't have to decide today. We can simply keep watching. 👑 The Crown Is Getting Dangerous I've said this before... but I'm saying it again. Everybody still has a crown. 👑 This room is full of girls that are doing something special. One has the aroma. Another has the structure. Another has the size. Another has the colour. Another has the flowers. And then there's Purple Haze Pheno A standing there like: "Are we sure everybody gets a crown?" 😂💜👑 Because she's making a very convincing argument for taking everybody else's. The thing I like most, though, is that we're still nowhere near the end. This isn't the final chapter. We're not judging the finished flowers. We're watching development. So maybe she's on fire now... but we've still got a lot of story left to tell. And I'm absolutely here for it. 🌿 The Perfect Combination What makes this phenotype particularly exciting for me is that she's not relying on one characteristic. It's the combination. Deep green foliage. Beautiful structure. Compact proportions. Strong flower formation. Increasing bud size. Visible resin development. Beautiful stacking. And now... speed. 😂🔥 That's a pretty impressive package. She's still around 120 cm, so she's not trying to become the tallest plant in the room. She doesn't need to. She's showing us that you don't have to be enormous to make an enormous impression. Sometimes it's about what you do with the space you have. And Purple Haze seems to understand that very well. 💡 Same 12/12. Different Expression. This is another reason I'm enjoying this phenotype hunt so much. The room is following the same overall lighting philosophy. The plants are running under the same 12/12 schedule. They're sharing the same ecosystem. They're experiencing the same general environmental conditions. And yet... look at the differences. Every plant has its own rhythm. Purple Haze Pheno A appears to be finding hers. And right now, that rhythm seems to be: build flowers → stack → frost → repeat. 😂🔥 We're simply watching. ⚗️ Feeding & Consistency The room continues following the established flowering nutrition strategy: 🌱 Plagron Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ Lemon Kick / pH adjustment as required Current readings remain around: ⚗️ pH – 6.0 ⚡ EC – approximately 2.0 mS/cm And again... there's no reason to complicate something that is working. Purple Haze is looking fantastic. She's growing. She's flowering. She's stacking. She's getting frosty. She's maintaining that beautiful colour. So we're continuing with consistency and letting her show us what she wants to become. 🌡️ The Environment This week's recorded conditions are: 🌸 Flower Week: 10 📏 Height: 120 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💨 CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.2 L/plant/24h The environment remains stable. And Purple Haze is responding beautifully. 📸 The Camera Loves Her I think this is becoming obvious by now. This girl is photogenic. 😂💜📸 The deeper colours. The flower structure. The contrast between leaves and flowers. The developing frost. The stacking. The shapes. Everything works. And this is exactly the kind of plant that makes macro photography so addictive. You start with the whole plant. Then you photograph a branch. Then a flower. Then you get closer. Then closer again. And suddenly you're looking at an entirely different landscape. That's one of the things I love most about documenting this run. We're not just recording growth. We're discovering tiny worlds. And Purple Haze Pheno A is giving us plenty of them. 🔥 The Girl Who Keeps Accelerating There's something really satisfying about watching a plant go from: "She's beautiful." to: "Holy crap, she's really building now." That's where I feel we are with Purple Haze. The earlier weeks were about structure. Then flower formation. Then development. And now... momentum. Everything seems to be coming together. The buds are becoming more substantial. The stacking is becoming more obvious. The trichomes are becoming more visible. The plant is looking increasingly mature. And the whole thing is happening quickly enough that I'm genuinely curious about where she'll be a few weeks from now. Because if this is Week 10... I'm very interested in Week 11. And Week 12. And beyond. 😂💜🔥 🔍 What Am I Watching Now? My biggest questions have changed again. I'm not wondering whether she's going to produce beautiful flowers. That's already happening. Now I'm watching: 🌸 How much more will those buds stack? ❄️ How much more resin will develop? 💜 How will the colour evolve as she matures? 🌿 How much more density will the flowers gain? And perhaps most importantly: 👑 Is this girl actually coming for the crown? 😂🔥 I don't know yet. And I'm not going to pretend I do. We're still too early to call the final result. But she's certainly putting herself into the conversation. 💜 Don't Blink Honestly... with this girl, I'm starting to think we shouldn't blink. 😂 You look away for a week... and suddenly there's more flower. More stacking. More frost. More development. More reason to grab the camera. She's becoming one of those plants where the weekly comparison is particularly satisfying because the changes are becoming easier to see. And that is exactly what I want from this diary. Not just a final photograph. Not just a final result. But the story of how we got there. Week by week. Flower by flower. Photograph by photograph. 🔮 Looking Ahead I know she's still far from the finish line. That's important. We're not calling this the end. We're not calling her finished. We're not making predictions about the final result. We're simply enjoying what she's showing us right now. And right now? She's showing us something beautiful. So I'll keep watching the stacking. I'll keep watching the resin. I'll keep watching the flower development. I'll keep watching the colour. And, of course... I'll keep the camera ready. Because something tells me this girl isn't finished surprising us yet. 👑 Let the Girl Shine So... Week 10. Purple Haze Pheno A. This girl is on fire. 🔥💜 She's beautiful. She's stacking. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's building impressive bud structure. She's getting increasingly frosty. She's maintaining those deep greens. She's compact. She's balanced. She's moving quickly. And she's starting to make a very serious case for herself. Maybe she's simply having a particularly good week. Maybe my eyes are getting carried away. Maybe the rest of the room will catch up. Or maybe... we're watching a phenotype that really does have a little extra speed in her flowering rhythm. Whatever the answer is... I'm enjoying the hell out of watching it happen. 😂💜🔥 For now, everybody still gets their crown. 👑 But Purple Haze Pheno A? She's standing underneath the spotlight... and she's definitely turning up the heat. 🔥🔥🔥 🙏 Thank You Another week of the 8×8 Adventure, and another week where the girls continue showing us why phenotype hunting is so much fun. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple Haze genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what this phenotype can become. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting the garden. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for keeping the photons flying. Thank you to LumiFlora for helping bring additional light into the deeper canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable. And, of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who stops by to see how the girls are progressing. It genuinely means a lot. And Purple Haze Pheno A? Well... I think we've found her song. 😂🎶 "This girl is on fire..." And honestly... I don't think I could have picked a better one. She's deep green. She's frosty. She's stacking. She's beautiful. She's moving fast. And she's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. We're still far from the finish line. There are still plenty of chapters left. But for this week? The spotlight belongs to her. 💜🔥👑 Let's see how far this girl can take it. Let's see who keeps their crown. And let's see whether Purple Haze Pheno A can keep that fire burning all the way to the end. This girl is on fire. 🔥💜 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚💜👑

Hi there, al running smooth except for pheno #1 that is too big and im a bit worried for heat and light stress but she’ hanging there well. Trichome production already started and smells like coffee and sweet its beautiful. Pheno #2 is my fav, perfect height and looks like shes gonna stack hard. Bumped on bloom nuts and booster, and no more veg and roots for now. Waiting for those buds to build up

This was my first grow and I did a bunch of research but I mostly figured it out as I went and I really enjoyed this strain. It was very resistant and took about 90-92 days from germination to harvest. The strain seemed to bounce back extremely well even after a heavy trimming. Did not really run into any health issues with the strain other than what I diagnosed as Leaf Septoria which is caused from to much humidity and not enough circulation. But overall will grow again and was very accurately advertised by Canuk Seeds. Ended up with 256grams from this grow which I was pleasantly surprised with. Saved all the shake and made Cannabutter and Bubble Hash. Both turned out okay but with room for improvement in the future.

November 3 - Welcome to the beginning of week 3! All of them are looking quite different, but that’s expected LOL Plant C is missing an entire leaf/branch! I’m curious what it’s going to do for the overall yield… we will just have to wait to see!

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

Day 6: Into week two of stretch (technically day 6) and they are stretching like crazy, stems are fattening, and fan leaves are growing huge. Considering the shape and canopy I’m starting to think using a scrog will help but the benefits may not outweigh the risks. Risks being watering issues where I can’t lift the pots, annoying that I can’t move the pots. Also they may stretch so much that they are just too tall for a proper scrog, in which case I could use a trellis for some spacing and support. Anyways, put the scrog net in! Day 9 of flower: Just Working the scrog. Ended up snapping a beautiful top by mistake. Have the feeling this scrog was started too late and maybe will reduce my yield. But I could be wrong and they may just be getting over the stress and will continue to stretch and fill it in nicely. Time will tell Day 12F plants are looking a bit stressed out. I did a lot of bending and tucking and put them through a lot. A lot of big fan leaves were tucked under the screen. Like a tonne and they are all layered on top of each other under the screen. Not sure what would cause less stress... to cut them or layer them.. I’m assuming the latter
