๐Ÿ’œ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 14 ๐ŸŒฟ Purple Haze by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B โ„๏ธ The Slow Starter Might Be a Fast Finisherโ€ฆ AND OH MY GOD, THE FROST! ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธ Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And today... I have one thing to say. OH. MY. GOD. LOOK AT THE FROST ON THIS GIRL! ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ’œ Seriously! Our Purple Haze Pheno B has taken her sweet time getting here. She started slowly. She stayed compact. She never grew anywhere near as big as her sister. And for weeks, we kept looking at her and thinking: "Come on, girl... when are you going to show us what you've got?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ Well... I think she's finally answered. And she didn't answer with height. She didn't answer by taking over half the tent. She didn't answer by trying to become another version of her sister. Nope. She answered with FLOWERS. With density. With structure. And with enough frost to make me wonder whether somebody accidentally left the freezer door open inside the 8ร—8. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ She's still a compact plant. She's still the smaller sister. But when you get close to those flowers... HOLY SHIT. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ This girl is beautiful. And here's the really interesting part. Our slow starter is beginning to look like she might also become a fast finisher, much like her sister. I said MIGHT. We're not declaring anything yet. We're not writing the ending before we get there. But the way she's developing has certainly caught my attention. So let's give the Little Frosty Queen her own chapter. Because she deserves every bit of this 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”€ โ„๏ธ WEEK 14 โ€” THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN HAS ENTERED ANOTHER LEVEL If you've followed this diary from the beginning, you already know her story. She's the smaller Purple Haze. The slower Purple Haze. The girl who took her time while her sister was busy becoming a whole damn sporting arena. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ€ Her sister went big. Really big. But Pheno B chose a different direction. She stayed compact. She developed at her own pace. And while we were waiting for her to show us more, she was quietly building her own personality. Now? Look at her. The flower structures are becoming increasingly impressive. The density is catching my attention. And the frost... Oh, the frost! โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Žโ„๏ธ This is why I love following individual phenotypes rather than treating every plant with the same name as if it were an identical copy. Her sister gave us size and presence. This girl is giving us compact structure, beautiful flowers, and a seriously frosty expression. Same genetic family. Same room. Same general environment. Two completely different stories. And both are worth documenting. 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 OH MY GODโ€ฆ THE FROST! I know I've said it already. And I'm probably going to say it again. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ But seriously... THE FROST! Look at those flowers. Look at the sugar leaves. Look at the details in the close-ups. The resin-covered surfaces give the flowers that beautiful frosted appearance, and the closer we get with the camera, the more there is to appreciate. From a distance, you see a compact Purple Haze plant carrying some lovely flowers. Move closer... and the story changes. You begin to notice the details. The flower structure. The texture. The resin. The way the individual floral sites are developing. And suddenly, the smaller sister doesn't look small at all. Not when you're looking at those flowers. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ She's got her own way of making an impression. Her sister can keep the height. This girl is busy decorating everything in sight. ๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž And I'm absolutely here for 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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ COMPACT DOESN'T MEAN LESS IMPRESSIVE This is something I really want to emphasize. Yes, Purple Haze Pheno B is still compact. She didn't grow as big as her sister. She didn't develop the same overall architecture. And she certainly hasn't tried to compete with the Big Mama for the title of largest Purple Haze in the room. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ But why should she? A plant's overall size doesn't tell us everything about the flowers it produces. And in this case, her compact structure is simply part of her individual expression. She's showing us a different balance between plant size, flower development, density, and resin appearance. That's what makes this phenotype interesting. We're not looking at her and wishing she were her sister. We're looking at her and appreciating what she actually is. A compact, beautiful, increasingly frosty Purple Haze. And honestly? That's more than enough to make her stand out. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏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”€ โณ FROM SLOW STARTER TO POSSIBLE FAST FINISHER? Now this is where things get interesting. Because when I look at her now, I can't help thinking about how slowly she started. She took her time getting established. She stayed smaller. She moved at her own pace while some of the other girls seemed to be racing ahead. But now? She's looking like she might be approaching the later part of her journey much faster than her early development would have led us to expect. And that reminds me of her sister. The Big Mama has also been giving us reasons to watch the finishing process closely. Now Pheno B is making me wonder whether we're seeing a similar pattern in a much more compact plant. But let's keep our feet on the ground. A slow start doesn't guarantee a fast finish. And beautiful, frosty flowers don't automatically tell us exactly how much time remains. What we're seeing is a change in her appearance and development that makes the comparison interesting. That's all. We're not going to force a harvest date onto her. We're going to keep observing the flowers, watching the changes, and comparing the photographs from week to week. If she really does turn out to be a fast finisher... we'll document it when the plant gives us enough evidence. Until then? Let's enjoy the show. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏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‘ญ TWO SISTERS, TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS I absolutely love having these two Purple Haze phenotypes in the same room. Because the contrast is becoming impossible to ignore. ๐Ÿ’œ PURPLE HAZE PHENO A โ€” THE BIG MAMA ๐Ÿ‘‘ Larger overall structure. ๐ŸŒธ Substantial flowering architecture. ๐Ÿ’œ A plant that immediately catches your attention across the room. ๐Ÿงก Beautiful colour development. ๐Ÿ’ง Still giving us plenty to observe about her water consumption and maturity. โ„๏ธ PURPLE HAZE PHENO B โ€” THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN ๐Ÿ‘‘ Compact overall structure. ๐ŸŒธ Beautifully developing flowers. ๐Ÿ’Ž A seriously frosty appearance. ๐Ÿ’œ A slower start and a different developmental rhythm. โ„๏ธ A flower presentation that's becoming increasingly impressive. Same room. Same general lighting setup. Same overall growing environment. Same grower. And yet... look at the differences! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ That's the beauty of following individual phenotypes. If we only had one plant, we'd know what that plant looked like. With both sisters, we can see just how differently they can express themselves. One became our Big Mama. The other became our Little Frosty Queen. And neither needs to become the other to be worth celebrating. 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 GETTING THEIR OWN SPOTLIGHT One thing I love about this week's photographs is how much attention we can give to the individual flowers. The full-plant shots show us the compact structure. The wider photographs help put her development into context. And then we get to the close-ups... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’œ That's where she really steals the show. You can see the details in the flowers. You can appreciate their structure. You can see the resin-covered surfaces that give her that frosty appearance. And you can follow the changes compared with the previous weeks. This is why I don't want these diaries to be just a collection of pretty photographs. The photographs are part of the documentation. They let us compare. They let us notice changes we might otherwise forget. And they help us tell the story of each individual plant. Pheno B's story is becoming particularly satisfying because we can look back at those earlier weeks when we were waiting for her to show us more. Now we have a very different-looking chapter in front of us. The girl was never doing nothing. She was developing at her own pace. And now we're seeing more of what that development looks like. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ 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 THE PLANT HAS HER OWN PERSONALITY This is something I keep coming back to throughout the 8ร—8 Adventure. We have twelve plants sharing one room, but we don't have twelve identical responses. Some plants are tall. Some are compact. Some develop quickly. Some take longer to show us what they're capable of. Some have very different flower structures. And some have a visual expression that makes you want to bring the camera closer every time you walk past. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Purple Haze Pheno B is one of those plants. She's not trying to dominate the room through size. She's making herself noticed through her own combination of structure and frost. And that's exactly what I want from these individual diaries. Not a competition to decide which plant is the best. Not an attempt to make every phenotype fit the same expectations. Just honest documentation of what each plant is showing us. And this girl? She's showing us something 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“ธ MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY โ€” WHEN YOU GET CLOSER, YOU SEE MORE The closer we get with the camera, the more interesting the details become. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ“ธ A full-plant photograph gives us the big picture. A flower portrait lets us focus on the structure. A close-up reveals details that are easy to miss when we're looking at the plant from across the room. And with this Purple Haze phenotype, those close-ups are absolutely worth taking. The frost is one of the first things that catches the eye. But there's more to the story than resin alone. There's the way the flowers are developing. The structure of the surrounding leaves. The variation between different flowering sites. And the overall appearance of the plant as she continues through the flowering cycle. That's why I like documenting the same plant over time. We don't have to rely on a single photograph to tell us everything. We build a visual record. And as that record grows, we can better appreciate the differences between one week and the next. The Little Frosty Queen is giving us plenty of reasons to keep the camera ready. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ“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”€ โ˜€๏ธ SAME PHOTONS โ€” DIFFERENT GENETIC EXPRESSION The lighting setup remains part of the same expanded 8ร—8 environment. We're still using the Future of Grow Black Series LEDs, including the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures supplied for this project. The previous lighting reference was approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug. โ˜€๏ธ Around 1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy. Those figures are our established room reference, not a claim that every point across the canopy receives identical light intensity. The plants have different heights and structures, so their positions relative to the fixtures matter. And that's particularly interesting when we compare these two Purple Haze phenotypes. Pheno A developed into a much larger plant. Pheno B remained more compact while producing a very different visual expression. We're providing a shared lighting environment, but the plants are not identical. Genetics, developmental stage, plant structure, and the wider environment all contribute to what we see. That's the experiment. We're not trying to force twelve plants to become twelve copies. We're observing twelve individual responses. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟโ˜€๏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’ก MORE LIGHTING CAPABILITY โ€” MORE CONTROL One of the things I appreciate about the Future of Grow upgrade is that additional lighting capability doesn't mean we have to operate every fixture at maximum output. The two additional Black Series 600W fixtures give us more available capacity and flexibility. We're controlling the output rather than simply chasing the highest possible number. And that matters because the goal isn't just to throw more light into the room. The goal is to create a controlled environment that allows us to observe how the different plants develop. The upper canopy provides one reference point, but the garden is three-dimensional. Plant height, flower position, and canopy structure all affect the light received by different parts of each plant. The Lumiflora lighting also contributes another layer to the overall lighting setup deeper in the canopy. And our Little Frosty Queen is part of that shared environment. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures for us to test. Having that additional capability while retaining control over output has been an important part of this project. ๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’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”ด THE RED-LIGHT ROUTINE โ€” ANOTHER PART OF THE EXPERIMENT We're also continuing to document the additional 15-minute red-light period after the main lighting period. Red and far-red wavelengths can influence plant responses through the phytochrome system, which helps plants interpret their light environment. The outcome depends on the wavelength, intensity, timing, duration, and the rest of the conditions. That's why we're recording this as part of our lighting routine rather than assuming it automatically produces a particular result. With Purple Haze Pheno B, the focus remains on documenting her own development. She's compact. She's increasingly frosty. Her flowers are developing beautifully. And we're watching how her appearance changes over time. We can't attribute those characteristics to the red-light period alone without a suitable comparison. That's an important distinction. The lighting routine is one part of the environment we're documenting, not proof of a specific effect. And that's how I want to approach this experiment: observe first, make claims only when the evidence supports them. ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฌ 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 A LITTLE LIGHT SCIENCE โ€” THE EMERSON EFFECT Since we're talking about red light, let's revisit the Emerson effect. The Emerson effect describes how photosynthesis can respond more efficiently when suitable red and far-red wavelengths are supplied together under particular experimental conditions. It involves the cooperation between two major components of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis: ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem II (PSII) ๐ŸŒฟ Photosystem I (PSI) These photosystems have different light-absorption characteristics. Under suitable conditions, combining light that supports both can produce a greater photosynthetic response than would be expected from the individual wavelengths alone. It's a fascinating example of how plant responses to light involve more than simply increasing brightness. But there's an important distinction. The Emerson effect does not mean that every red-light treatment produces the same response, nor does it prove that any particular short red-light routine will increase yield, accelerate flowering, or determine harvest timing. The spectrum, intensity, timing, and experimental conditions all matter. Our additional 15-minute red-light period is something we're documenting in this grow. We're not claiming that it automatically reproduces the Emerson effect. We're recording the routine, observing the plants, and keeping our conclusions grounded in what we can actually see and measure. That's how we keep learning without turning an interesting scientific concept into an unsupported promise. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒฑ 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€” THE SHARED ROOM APPROACH The previous shared nutrition reference for this stage of the run was: ๐ŸŒธ Plagron Terra Bloom โ€” around 2.0 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒฟ Plagron Green Sensation โ€” 1 ml/L ๐Ÿฏ Plagron Sugar Royal โ€” 1 ml/L The previously recorded room readings were approximately: โš—๏ธ pH โ€” around 6.0 โšก EC โ€” around 2.05 mS/cm These are the established reference values from the previous reports, not newly verified measurements for this week's update. The wider approach remains consistent with the room's current stage, while we continue observing the plants individually. And Pheno B is a good reminder that a shared nutritional programme doesn't make every plant develop at the same pace. She's still compact. She's showing beautiful flowers. And her frost is becoming one of the most striking features of this phenotype. We don't need to invent a new story around the numbers. We need to keep observing the plant in front of us. 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 THE 8ร—8 ROOM โ€” SHARED CONDITIONS Our previous shared room reference was: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 14 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD reference โ€” approximately 1,500 ๐Ÿ”Œ Future of Grow lighting output โ€” approximately 59% from the plug ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” approximately 26.5โ€“27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” approximately 25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” approximately 60โ€“61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” approximately 25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” approximately 25ยฐC โš—๏ธ Previous pH reading โ€” approximately 6.04 โšก Previous EC reading โ€” approximately 2.05 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚ โ€” approximately 693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ง Previous irrigation reference โ€” approximately 1.4โ€“1.45 L per plant / 24 hours ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L These are the previously established room references for continuity, rather than a claim that every reading was taken again this week. The key point is that Pheno B continues to develop within the same general environment as the other plants. And yet her expression is entirely her own. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏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 SAME ROOM โ€” DIFFERENT TIMELINES The 8ร—8 Adventure keeps teaching us the same lesson. The plants don't read our expectations. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ One plant may develop quickly from the beginning. Another may take longer to establish herself. One may become very tall. Another may stay compact. One may catch our attention through size. Another may do it through flower structure and resin expression. Purple Haze Pheno B has taken the slower route. But looking at her now, I'm not thinking about what she failed to become. I'm looking at what she actually is. A compact plant with beautiful flowers and an incredibly frosty appearance. And if she does turn out to be a fast finisher, that will be another interesting part of her individual story. For now, we'll keep watching her development and comparing her progress with the photographs from previous weeks. No competition. No forced expectations. Just twelve plants, one shared room, and twelve individual stories. 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 JOIN THE DOG DOCTOR COMMUNITY!

Very curious. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ How will those flowers continue to develop? Will her compact structure remain the defining feature of this phenotype? How will the frost and colours evolve? And will our slow starter really become a fast finisher, just like her sister? We'll see. I'm not going to predict an exact harvest date from photographs alone. The appearance of the flowers is one part of the picture, and we'll keep following the changes as they happen. For now, the important thing is that she's continuing to give us something beautiful to document. And after all those weeks of waiting for her to show us more... I am absolutely enjoying this chapter. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธโ„๏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”€ โค๏ธ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€” SMALLER PLANT, SERIOUS FROST! Week 14. And our Purple Haze Pheno B is giving us a chapter I absolutely love. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ She took her time getting started. She stayed smaller than her sister. She developed at her own pace. And now? LOOK AT HER! ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’Ž The frost is beautiful. The flowers are looking fantastic. Her compact structure gives her a completely different character from the Big Mama. And she's showing us that being the smaller sister doesn't mean being any less interesting. In fact, the contrast between the two plants is one of my favourite parts of following them together. Pheno A gives us size and presence. Pheno B gives us compact structure and an incredible frosty appearance. Same genetic family. Same room. Different expression. And both deserve their own spotlight. The possibility that our slow starter might also become a fast finisher is certainly keeping me curious, but we're not going to rush the conclusion. We'll continue observing. We'll keep photographing. We'll compare the changes. And we'll let the plant tell us how her story unfolds. Until then... Keep shining, Little Frosty Queen. Keep showing us those beautiful flowers. Keep doing things your own way. And keep making me bring that camera closer! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ You took your time, girl.

Thursday 16th march day 59 Harvested a couple days earlier then planned as my humidity was getting a bit high and worried about risking mold I decided to chop, have to get a good dehumidifier soon, everything looking lovely, nice and dense with very strong fruity potent smell definitely the best looking plants I have grown to date not the biggest buds but they look quality, chopped plants whole gonna do my best to keep the temp and rh% in the dry room as close 60/60 as I can to get a nice slow dry, ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ˜Ž I only took the wet weight from 1 plant back left plant was 270g with large fan leaves removed

The mephisto is has bounced back and pushing hard. All the plants still have a high runoff but has been pushing hard this last week or so. Ph run off has been around 7.6 from around 8.4ph๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I kinda gave up on the freeze berry but I started checking it out and I didnt notice how well the branching is on that plant and how frosty it is. the freeze berry has been getting set up nicely hoping it fills out nicely because the branching and spacing on that one is not too shabby I'm not sure wth is going on with the big bomb that one decided to just grow like a bush real fast and has soo many bud sites but is flowering super slow.. I started all the seeds at the same time except the mephisto is about a week or two younger than the rest. The crystal meth is about ready I'm going to start flushing that here sometime this week when I get my new ph pen.

I'm not going to put in daily updates for this week. It was a slow week but I will highlight the following - Watered every other day - Fed twice this week according to Fox Farm feeding schedule - Checked trichomes on day 62 because Sour Stomper is usually a quick grow. Seems we're a ways off still. **** I also put up a video for day 60. You can see how crazy looking the Sour Stomper is. The entire top of the plant is bud with tiny leaves. It's turned into a mutant bush. The good news is that the buds are starting to thicken up on the bottom. ****

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 1 Flower Report Welcome to the first week of flower in the Eternity Grow Cup! This is a crucial stage in the cycle, and weโ€™ve made some important moves to set the girls up for success. Letโ€™s dive into all the details and talk about the key elements shaping this transition. 48 Hours Dark Period & Transition to Flower Before flipping to flower, we implemented a 48-hour dark period. In my experience, this technique helps the plants transition more smoothly and accelerates their hormonal shift into flowering. Itโ€™s a method that has consistently worked well for me, and I encourage growers to explore different approaches to find what best suits their setup. The Power of Reds - Far Red & Deep Red As part of this transition, we have introduced far red and deep red lighting. These are turned on 15 minutes before the main whites and stay on for 15 minutes after. The reason? This simulates the natural sunrise and sunset effect, which helps optimize the flowering response and enhances overall plant development. The red spectrum plays a crucial role in promoting stretch and enhancing bud formation early on. Light Schedule - 11/13 Cycle From the start of flower, we are running an 11 hours light / 13 hours dark schedule. Over the years, Iโ€™ve found this lighting strategy beneficial in inducing faster flower onset, increasing terpene production, and ultimately producing better-quality fruits. This is something I personally swear by, but as always, I encourage others to experiment and see what works best for their unique environments. Spending Time with the Girls One of my favorite parts of the grow is spending time with the plants, enjoying some good medicine, and simply being present in the garden. The connection we have with our plants is invaluable, and I believe they truly respond to the energy we bring. Itโ€™s a labor of love, and every moment spent with them contributes to their health and vitality. Monitoring with TrolMaster TM + App All data is being closely monitored using the TrolMaster TM + app, and I highly encourage everyone to check it out. Seeing all the details, tracking trends, and adjusting conditions accordingly is a game-changer. If you love data as much as I do, this is definitely something worth exploring. Gear Spotlight - AeroFan Extraction Letโ€™s talk about one of the essential pieces of gear in this setup: the AeroFan Extraction System. This exhaust fan is an absolute beast, keeping the environment perfectly dialed in while looking sleek mounted on the wall. A good extraction system is key to maintaining ideal airflow, temperature, and humidity control, and this one has been doing an incredible job. Current Environmental & Nutrient Data Water pH: 6.0 Water EC: 1.36 Water Temperature: 16ยฐC (a bit low, will be adjusting soon) Soil EC: 1.44 Soil Temperature: 20ยฐC (decent but could be slightly higher) Maintaining the right balance of temperature, pH, and EC is essential for a successful flowering phase, so Iโ€™ll be keeping a close eye on these numbers and making any necessary adjustments as we progress.

The signs of light bleaching (=snow white tops) are increasing during week 7. (see in video) The light is so strong that the top of the buds start to grow white instead of green....looks almost like a snow-cap. ๐Ÿ˜„ All 18 CANNALOPE HAZE plants from DNA-GENETICS are devloping GREAT...they produce more and more flowers EVERY day. The trichome production is now in full swing as well, the plants get stickier every day. The 9 plants on the left under the LUMATEK PRO 600W are a little bit lighter in color and less uniform than the 9 plants on the right side under the two Q6W-Gen. 2 LED-lamps from SANlight. The plants on the right have a darker , more healthier color and are VERY UNIFORM, all have almost the EXACT SAME SIZE. The aroma inside the HOMEBOX-tent gets stronger now as well...I love the 'hazy' smell of the plants...very enticing! ๐Ÿ˜ This week I add some Orgatrex (40 ml/liter) and Bacterex (2 gram/liter) to my watering, since BIOTABS recommend to do that in their feeding schedule.

Hey guys! Sorry for the big delay since my previous grow! Right now I'm growing some babies from Royal Queen Seeds! Kali Dog! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ The first week was calm! The babies broke out from their shells rather fast and two babies grew out of their jiffy pods rather fast! Also, since the strain is Kali Dog I decided to name each of the plants with a different dog name! I'm still unsure about the names but the first two are called Roko and Max! For the first time I also noticed the first buds looked... different? You'll be able to see them in the photos tho... and once again two of my babies are suffering from helmet head ๐Ÿ˜ฐ But eh, I'm used to it. Gladly it's an easy error to fix. I'll try to make a longer timelapse (these were bad!) but I didn't know my camera battery wasn't enough for long sessions ๐Ÿ˜ Anyway, thanks for reading! See you all next week! ๐Ÿ‘‹

This strain is amazing. Super frosty and the buds are rock hard. I suggest wait an extra week at the end of flower before harvest. The buds really pack on new large calyx the last week. The First smaller one yielded 3.68 oz including all the sugar leaf trim shown in the sticky note Pic. Second larger pot yielded..... I learned a lesson to use a bigger container for future grows. My smaller plant was small due to the 3gal container. My larger plant was in a 5gal and grew much better. My buds are much larger on the bigger container. I will be using minimum 7gal from now on. Smaller plant I harvested 2 weeks earlier and had 3.68oz dry. Larger plant 2 has wet weight of 630g. I pulled clones from the larger one before flower to test pure organic nutrients and soil I'm am building against advanced nutrients and happy frog soil. New diary to come in the future with the comparison.
