Week 2 - Vegetation | Purple Haze Pheno A
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 12/12 From Seed adventure.
This week we continue following Purple Haze Pheno A as she settles into her new home and begins building momentum for the weeks ahead. The environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, allowing the plant to focus entirely on growth and root development following last week’s transplant.
One interesting observation becoming increasingly noticeable is the growing difference between the two Purple Haze phenotypes. While both plants remain healthy and continue progressing well, Pheno A has started pulling ahead slightly. The difference is not dramatic, but it is now clearly visible. A few days of age difference at this stage can have a surprisingly large impact on development, and the fact that Pheno B spent additional time in a smaller container likely contributes to the gap we are beginning to observe.
For now, however, the spotlight belongs to Pheno A.
Growth this week has been exceptional. The plant has maintained a beautiful structure with excellent symmetry and strong vigor. The fourth node is now fully established and the fifth node is already forming, with the first four-finger leaves beginning to emerge. Every new set of leaves appears larger and more developed than the last, showing that the root system is becoming increasingly active following transplantation.
The color remains exactly what we hope to see at this stage. Rich healthy green foliage covers the plant from top to bottom, while leaf posture remains upright and confident throughout the photoperiod. Internodal spacing is tight and controlled, creating a compact structure that should provide a solid foundation for the flowering stretch later in the cycle.
Looking from above, the plant displays the kind of balanced architecture that makes weekly progress especially rewarding to document. Each node is stacking neatly, growth is occurring evenly across the entire plant, and new development appears almost daily.
The transplant performed during the previous week appears to have been accepted without issue. Rather than slowing down, the plant responded by accelerating growth and increasing overall vigor. This is always a positive sign and suggests the roots are rapidly colonizing the available medium.
As always, consistency remains one of the most important tools in the garden. Stable environmental conditions, regular observations, and simple daily routines continue to do most of the heavy lifting. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is provide a healthy environment and allow the plant to express its genetic potential.
Overall, Week 2 has been a very successful one for Purple Haze Pheno A. She enters the next stage healthy, vigorous, and full of promise, and we are excited to see how this classic genetic continues to develop in the weeks ahead.
Thank you to everyone following along, liking, commenting, and sharing advice throughout the journey. Your support, encouragement, and knowledge help make these diaries far more enjoyable to create.
A special thank you as always to Zamnesia for the genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, and to all the growers documenting their own adventures and helping build such a fantastic community.
Until next week, Growers Love and happy growing everyone.
