💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 9 | The Definition of Beautiful Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Sometimes a plant makes you work for the compliments. Sometimes a plant keeps you guessing. Sometimes a plant gives you problems that make you spend half your time trying to understand what she's asking for. And then... Sometimes you have Purple Haze Pheno A. 😂💜 This girl keeps doing her thing. She keeps growing. She keeps developing. She keeps building beautiful flowers. And honestly, the more I look at her, the more I struggle to find something I would want to change. She may not be the biggest plant in the room. She may not be the tallest. She may not be the most demanding. But when it comes to balance... she might just be one of the most beautiful plants in this entire run. And this week, I think she deserves to shine. 🌱 The Plant That Just Gets It One of the things that has impressed me most about Purple Haze Pheno A is how naturally everything seems to fit together. The leaves. The branches. The flower sites. The spacing. The proportions. The overall size of the plant. Nothing feels excessive. Nothing feels missing. She's developed a structure that simply makes sense. There's enough foliage to support the plant without making the flowers disappear. There are enough flowers to make the canopy interesting without completely overwhelming the structure. And when you look at the plant as a whole, there is a beautiful relationship between everything she's producing. It's one of those plants where you step back and think: "Yeah... that's a beautiful plant." And then you step closer. And it gets even better. 💜 The Colour The foliage continues to be one of my favourite things about her. That healthy green. That beautiful contrast between the leaves and the developing flowers. The way the light catches the foliage. The way the plant looks from a distance and then completely changes character when you move closer. There's something very elegant about her. She's not trying to be spectacular. She simply is. And that's probably why I enjoy photographing her so much. There is always something worth looking at. 🌸 The Flowers Are Coming Together The flower formation continues looking beautiful this week. The calyxes are becoming increasingly obvious, while the white pistils continue covering the developing flowers. This is the part of flowering where the individual components begin coming together into something that looks increasingly like the finished structure they're going to become. And Purple Haze is doing exactly that. The flowers are developing along the branches with a really pleasing structure. The proportions are beautiful. The pistils are giving everything that classic early-to-mid flowering appearance. And the resin development is becoming increasingly noticeable. There's still plenty of time ahead. But you can already see where this is going. And I like what I see. Very much. 🍃 The Perfect Balance If I had to choose one characteristic that defines this phenotype for me, it would probably be balance. She's not just producing flowers. She's not just producing foliage. She's producing what feels like the right combination of both. The leaves are beautifully formed. The flower-to-leaf relationship is pleasing. The branches are carrying their flowers naturally. And the plant maintains a compact, manageable profile. This is something that becomes particularly interesting when you're running multiple phenotypes together. Because you can see all these different interpretations of the same basic environment. Some plants want to stretch. Some want to stay compact. Some want more attention. Some seem perfectly happy being left alone. Purple Haze Pheno A has quietly established herself as one of the plants that simply gets on with the job. And I absolutely love that. 🌿 No Need to Fix What Isn't Broken Last week I talked about letting her shine without unnecessary intervention. This week, that philosophy hasn't changed. Why would it? She's healthy. She's developing. She's maintaining beautiful colour. Her flowers are progressing. Her structure is exactly where I like it. So there is no reason to interfere simply because we can. Growing plants sometimes creates this strange temptation to constantly do something. Remove something. Change something. Adjust something. But sometimes the best decision is simply: Leave her alone. Purple Haze Pheno A is giving me very little reason to pick up the scissors. And I'm perfectly happy with that. 💡 One Environment, Twelve Personalities This is where the 8×8 Adventure continues to become more interesting every week. We're running multiple genetics inside the same overall ecosystem. Same general environmental philosophy. Same lighting strategy. Same shared feeding approach. Same irrigation system. Same room. Yet look at the differences. Every phenotype is interpreting that environment in her own way. And Purple Haze Pheno A is giving us one of the nicest examples of a naturally balanced expression. She's not fighting the environment. She's not demanding constant intervention. She's simply adapting and expressing herself. And that is exactly what I wanted this project to reveal. 💡 Light From Above & Below The lighting strategy continues supporting the room as flowering progresses. The primary overhead lighting provides the main source, while the additional lighting deeper within the canopy gives us another perspective on how the lower flowering sites develop. With Purple Haze, I particularly enjoy being able to look through the structure and see flowers developing at different levels. She's not simply a plant with one impressive top. She's developing a network of flowering sites throughout her structure. And as those flowers continue building, it'll be fascinating to see how that balance develops further. 💧 Feeding & Consistency The flowering nutrition strategy remains consistent across the room: 🌱 Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH Plus / Lemon Kick as required The measured EC remains around 2.0 mS/cm, with pH around 6.0. There are no dramatic changes to report. And that's exactly the point. Purple Haze doesn't appear to be asking for anything different. She's responding beautifully to the existing environment, so consistency remains the priority. 🌡️ The Environment This week's recorded conditions are: 🌸 Flower Week: 9 📏 Height: 120 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°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, giving this phenotype exactly what she needs to continue doing what she's been doing so well. 📸 This Girl Deserves the Camera Looking through the photographs this week, I keep coming back to the same thought: She is charming. The overall plant. The flowers. The calyxes. The pistils. The leaves. The colour. The structure. Even the size. Everything about her seems to fit together. And this is where photography becomes such a big part of the project for me. A wide photograph shows you the plant. A close-up shows you the flower. A macro photograph shows you an entirely different world. You start seeing the individual calyxes. The pistils. The trichomes. The veins in the leaves. The textures. All those tiny details that disappear when you're simply looking at the plant as a whole. Purple Haze rewards that closer look. Every time. 💜 The Plant I Wouldn't Change I think every grower eventually encounters a plant that makes them think: "If I could start this one again, I wouldn't change much." Purple Haze Pheno A is becoming that plant for me. Not because she's perfect in some impossible sense. Plants aren't machines. But because she's developed a combination of characteristics that I genuinely enjoy. Beautiful colour. Beautiful foliage. Beautiful flower structure. Excellent proportions. A manageable size. Healthy development. And a natural architecture that doesn't seem to require me constantly stepping in. That's a pretty wonderful combination. 🔮 Looking Ahead So what's next? More of the same. And honestly, that's exactly what I want. The flowers should continue developing. The calyxes should continue becoming more prominent. Resin production should continue increasing. The flowers will gradually become denser and more mature. And eventually, we'll move from watching her build toward watching her finish. But we're not there yet. For now, I'm enjoying the process. Watching. Photographing. Documenting. And letting her continue doing what she's already proven she can do. 💜 Let Her Shine There are plants that make you excited because they surprise you. There are plants that make you excited because they challenge you. And then there are plants that simply make you stop and admire them. Purple Haze Pheno A is becoming that plant. She doesn't need a dramatic story this week. She doesn't need a major intervention. She doesn't need me to invent something to say. She's beautiful. And sometimes that's enough. The leaves are beautiful. The colour is beautiful. The flower-to-leaf ratio is beautiful. The bud formation is beautiful. The calyxes are beautiful. The pistils are beautiful. The structure is beautiful. The size is beautiful. The whole plant simply has charm. And when a plant gives you that feeling... you let her shine. 💜🌿 🙏 Thank You Another week of the 8×8 Adventure, and another reminder of why I love growing multiple phenotypes side by side. They all have their own personalities. Their own rhythms. Their own structures. Their own ways of expressing themselves. And Purple Haze Pheno A is writing one of my favourite stories of the entire run. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing the platform where growers can document, learn, share and inspire each other. 💜 Zamnesia — for these beautiful Purple Haze genetics and for giving us the opportunity to explore what different phenotypes can become. 🌱 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting the garden throughout this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the lighting driving the room. 🌡️ TrolMaster — for helping maintain a stable environment behind the scenes. ✨ LumiFlora — for the additional lighting helping us explore flowering throughout the canopy. And, of course, thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. Every comment, every question, every bit of encouragement and every person simply stopping by to see how the girls are doing makes documenting this project even more enjoyable. Purple Haze Pheno A doesn't need to shout. She doesn't need to demand attention. She doesn't need to be the biggest girl in the room. She simply stands there... beautifully balanced, beautifully green, beautifully structured, and quietly building something special. 💜 Week 9. Still doing her thing. Still looking amazing. Still giving me very little to complain about. And honestly? I wouldn't have it any other way. Let's keep watching her shine. 💜🌿🌸 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚

🌿 Pink Rozay x Strawberry Banana Auto - Fresh Frozen Dry Ice Extraction! ❄️🍓💨 Let's get it rolling! What is up, GrowDiaries fam? We reached the finish line with the Pink Rozay x Strawberry Banana Auto, but we took a slightly different route for this harvest. Instead of the standard dry and cure, we went straight to the deep freeze for a live plant extraction! 📈 The Details / Progress Report: Fresh Frozen Harvest: We chopped her down and immediately froze the live plant material to lock in those volatile terpenes. You can see the frosty, deep green nugs mixed right in with the dry ice pellets. Dry Ice Extraction: Dropping temps to sub-zero! I tossed the fresh frozen buds directly onto the extraction tray with chunks of dry ice to freeze those trichome heads so they snap right off the stalks, which you can see prepped. This method is incredible for preserving that fresh, live-plant flavor profile I'm always chasing when producing my solventless terpene extracts. The Yield Preview: Inspecting the frozen nugs with the black extraction gloves, you can see how perfectly preserved the structure and resin glands remain before the agitation begins. 💧 Next Steps: Now we agitate and sift! The extreme cold from the dry ice will make those trichomes brittle enough to break away cleanly. We'll collect that fresh frozen bubble hash, dry it out properly, and then it is straight to the rosin press to see what kind of golden terpene profile we can squeeze out of this Strawberry Banana cross. 👇 Question for the community: When you guys run fresh frozen material, do you prefer washing it in water for traditional ice water bubble hash, or do you lean toward the dry ice method for a quicker return? Let me know your extraction preferences in the comments! She was an absolute beauty to grow, and she is going to make some incredible hash! Let's keep it growing! 🌱💨

Overall been a good week i still think they look healthy despite how sensitive they are! Over the last week i have been doing lst to the best of my ability. My humidifier broke a leaked out the bottom so i invested in a mist maker popped it into a bucket of water and it works perfect 👌 ive made a lil video you will be able to see it at the beginning. Hopefully start stretching up soon! HAPPY GROWING!!! 🙃🙂🙃🙂🙃

Staggered start to the 3 autos but that's only for breeding purposes. I plan on using sts spray to reverse the first one so I gave it a two week + 2 day head start. Full tutorial of the germination process is viewable on the video posted here and my youtube channel, link is on my profile if you care to watch it there, I found the loading screen for the video rather tedious on here.. Happy growing!

Let’s go Day 46 from seed!! What a great week it’s been, girls structured up real nice veg has been huge for us, looking super healthy an catching a nice smell ! This will be the last week of feeding them the veg schedule, next we will be dipping right into bloom, starting Monday yall We will be in full bloom !! Can’t wait to watch these ladies stack over the next few weeks 😍! I hope you all enjoy an have an amazing productive day an week ! Peace love an positive vibes y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨💨🤙🏻

This week went fast. It seemed like she didn't change much but she got some colours and a lot of Frost. Will harvest tomorrow and put in the tent with the other Northern lights to dry for the week.this one was a little slower than the other one and didn't look as fluffy, But it could be the lack of foxtails. This one's still just as big and looks even frostier. Chopped day 78, which is 63? Days of flower. They both smell similar, kinda like sour milk or something.

Three weeks into flower and things are moving along. I defoliated some of the lower branches and spread out a few branches here and there. Other than that it's the same situation as always. Nutrients are pumping and lights are beaming. Everything is running smooth and all is well with the world. Like some namaste shit going on around here at the moment. Could very well just be the calm before the storm...

Pollen was dropping like crazy as the male flowers got ripe and ready. The females got good and coated and fully pollinated. I harvested the males to collect and preserve the pollen. Some dried and I veiled it up. But the bulk majority is still drying up. I left just the bottom portion of the male kicking for some extra pollen well the females throw off. The diary will now begin to focus on the pollinated females. The journey to beans is well under way! Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Still fighting with pH. It was 5.5 when I add the plants, but when I check a few hours later, it's already above 6.5 Days 2: I trimmed the bottom fan leaves from Purple Kush to keep them off the ground. I also topped Purple Maroc. pH was still below 6 Day 4: Veg is gone wild..... I have been shoving the large fan leaves on the Autos underneath other branches to allow light in. Red Purps may get topped yet again. Day 6:. Switched autos to bloom nutrients. Added Purpanator to them. pH set to 5.5. Topped bottom and mid branches of Red Purps to keep canopy more even. Day 7: replaced CO2 generator.

Well looks like we are going to have another beautiful sugar cane come harvest time of everything continues to go smooth. I just love everything about this strain. It's a potent frosty beast. Shes starting to pop like they always do. I spread the plants out a little this week so they get better light and air flow. Other than that I haven't done anything besides keep the reservoir full. Still pumping nutrients 1 minute on 20 minutes off. They are getting .5 tsp maxibloom per gallon. Not going to run any boosters this round. They dont look like they want or need it.

Day 68 and as you can see she's finally getting some decent trichome production and she is starting to smell in a good way.. this autoflower must have a decent amount of ruderalis in it as the site says we're looking at 14% THC which is on the low end but as we know it's not always about the numbers .. Sensible Seeds thank you again for this grow and guys if you want a certain strain that you can't find I can guarantee you they got it they are one of the biggest warehouses / seed banks that I've come across and they have great deals on bulk seeds of name brand breeders.. hope all is doing well God bless happy growing and everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 https://www.sensibleseeds.com/

Change pot4to 7gl Looking good 😊☺️☺️ Have big fan leaf

Entra en el último mes de floracion y solo le queda madurar y el último engorde de cogollos al final se pudo parar la sobrefertilizacion pero a causa de eso se quedó casi sin ojas , veremos si merma la producion fina...

Getting fat!!

🌸 Week 3 Flower – Growing Strong, Tall, and Vibrant! 🌱 Hey Grow Fam! It’s already Week 3 in flower, and I’m thrilled to bring you this update because these plants are doing phenomenally well! Some are stretching up so tall that I might have to get creative in the coming weeks! Fruit production is well underway, and it’s absolutely amazing to watch the canopy fill out as these girls reach their potential. Aptus Holland Pack Unboxing & New Additions This week kicked off with a big arrival: the Aptus Holland nutrient pack! 🙌 I couldn’t wait to share the unboxing with you all; there’s a video up where I go through all the goodies, so check it out if you haven’t yet! Between the photos and videos, you’ll be able to see just how well these nutrients are already feeding these green beauties. Having a blast sharing more content lately—I’m in the zone with editing and creating, so get ready for even more shares! 🌡️ Environmental Control and Fine-Tuning the Reservoir pH Temps this week have been holding around 27.2°C with RH at 65.2% and CO2 at 800 ppm, creating a VPD of 1.26 for ideal flower development. The lighting intensity is at 833 PPFD, and the solution in the reservoir is fine-tuned to a pH of 6.22, EC of 475, with a temp of 21.8°C. Let’s talk pH in the reservoir: it’s a dynamic process, and I’m constantly adjusting it to keep everything at the right level. The pH tends to rise throughout the week, and each day, I work it back down, fine-tuning it to keep those plants happy and balanced. Managing pH is truly a hands-on job, and it’s worth every moment. I love staying on top of it for optimal nutrient uptake—it’s all about consistent effort and keeping that perfect range dialed in. Leaf Maintenance & Selective Defoliation These leaves are HUGE and gorgeous, creating a lush canopy that’s nearly too perfect! I’ve been taking a few leaves here and there, focusing on leaves that may be blocking light from reaching lower parts of the plant. Selective defoliation at this stage is key because it opens up airflow and allows light to penetrate deep, boosting energy distribution across the whole plant. Big, healthy leaves mean we’re getting excellent photosynthesis, but a gentle, strategic defoliation can guide that energy toward those developing buds. Leaf removal is all about balance, giving the plant space to breathe and thrive while still maximizing growth in flower! 🌐 TrolMaster + App – Real-Time Precision Huge shoutout to the TrolMaster system and the app—keeping everything in sync and at peak performance is honestly effortless with this ecosystem. The app provides a full overview of each environmental parameter, allowing me to make real-time adjustments as needed and track trends over time. The precision here is unbeatable, giving me complete control over temps, humidity, CO2, and VPD, ensuring my girls are in a controlled paradise 24/7. What I love most is how the app records everything automatically, so I always know exactly where things stand without having to keep separate records. If you haven’t tried TrolMaster yet, it’s a total game-changer for any grow setup! 💥 Shoutouts & Gratitude Massive shoutout to TrolMaster and Aptus Holland for powering this grow with tech and nutrition that’s second to none. And, of course, gratitude to Pro-Mix for the superb growing medium and to the seed banks behind the genetics. We’re running strong thanks to each of you. And to the whole community—thank you, everyone, from new friends to seasoned followers, lovers to haters.

Day 43 since seed touched soil. Hard week past. Those long not drinking days when cycle was taking 8 days to dry out made damage, i still see magnesium, but now added some rusty spots and i cant understand is it calcium or my spraying of Leaf Coat and burn. No spray this week, will check if new will appear. Because of troubles i postponed flip and top up till next watering. It should be in 4-5 days. Done huge clearing, few more new ties added, reajusted old. 3.5 liters of 6.3 phed dechlorinated water went in after training. Joe is damaged most, develops slowly, Twins definitely bigger by mass. Picky strain looks like ;) Planing to install scrog this week too. Mars Hydro TSL2000 is on 70% output, thinking to increase it with flip to 75. Light is working fine , really covers all space , great affordable light for colder climate. Day 45. Girls recovered from training very nice ! In few days flip . Day 47. Girls got top up. Put first level of scrog. Flipped to 12/12, tent is rammed ;) light output on 75%, 4 liters of 6.3 phed water went in. Top up was dosed, mixed well and laid on top, then i rough and mix top lair of soil with top up and only then i water. All pots are 30 litres ( grams and ml , have in mind ) : Ecothrive - Biosys - 5 ml / pot Ecotrive - Charge - 120 ml / pot Ecothrive - Life Cycle - 60 g. / pot Ecothrive - Bio Blend - 200 ml / pot. Think this will be my standart top up, i run out of Great White, have for one top up, will do it in 2-3 waterings seperately from all. Planning to repeat same top up at begining of week 4 of flower. Girls look better without spraying, most prob burn from too intense light, despite me giving 30-60 min of reduced to minimum after spraying. From now on - only when lights off. Will apply in few days, think Saturday. Happy Growing !!!

Look what I did to my girl, poor lady. But i'm sure she will bounce back, but with all that leaf shit It's hard to properly tie them down. So i broke off a total of 2 branches (yellow tape) and managed to attach one back to it. Otherwise she took all the stress LIKE A CHAMP - yet. We'll see. To be honest, i was quite lazy with her the last days, it was pretty stressful but look at her, she is basically growing herself! As long as you can cool it, have some sort of system to change water and some, basic nutrients and ph- DWC is the easiest system for me, 100% Look at the roots and i did not fill up the reservoir for like half a week, so a lot of it wsd exposed to air for a longer time still she is growing and growing. Two more weeks and i might have a problem with her in flower, because she will drink so much water the reservoir won't hold a long time haha. Almost forget, i need to add either more fertilizer /ml or give extra calmag. will probably do both kekw Cheers guys! (whoever reads this, this is your sign, get high 👌)
