Week 9 for Strawberry gorilla by fast buds Shes getting so close to the end 😍 I had to remove a little bit of bud rot at the start of the week, but ever since haven't been able to find anymore developing 😇 Quite surprising how little water these girls drink... still only got fed once this week with a bit of (WCA) Water Soluble Calcium & (FFJ) Fermented fruit juice for its last few weeks of life now. Really excepted her to drink more with this hot hot weather.

Harvest Time Day 105

She's fat, healthy and about ready to be chopped :) She will start flushing at the end of this week

2nd trellis net up , scog is spread nicely. Switching to Bloom formula . Defoliated everything below the first net. Started 12 / 12 light cycle

HARVEST DAY!!!.... What a beautiful plant.. I can't wait to give her a taste.. Was expecting to push her another week.. But a closer look showed that there were alot of amber already.. Kinda hard to see them against the purple calyxes along with with the Mars Hydro TS 1000 on as well.. But she should be perfect! Oh I cant wait!!! Will be updating with the drying and curing as I go!!! So happy!!! 😭😭😭 Drying - Day 4... Ok so humidifier is definately not needed this time lol.. For a couple days the room and box were at 70% so I took the water and filter out of the humidifier and just running it as a fan to help move the air around the small room its drying in.. The box also has a very small and weak computer fan which is just pulling the air out SLOWLY but SURELY.. Now the humidity inside the box has been reading 66% constantly for the last 2 days! This will be my first harvest that doesnt dry in 3 - 5 days without a humidifer! Maybe cuz I watered that morning?? Idk.. But this is much better.. Hoping for at least a 7 day dry.. 10 or 12 would be nice.. But I doubt that very much lol.. Anyways.. Will still be updating as I go!!! Drying - Day 5... So I went ahead and trimmed all the smaller nugs and colas.. Leaving the 3 biggest colas (back of the box) to trim in the morning tomorrow. I wish I would have lollipopped some.. Alot of larfy, leafy nugs.. But still gonna smoke that shit! Lol.. Took about 2.5 hours to trim what I did today.. Keeping the trim (duh) to make some bubble hash.. Or maybe just gather the keif and press it.. Haven't made up my mind on that yet.. Either way it's gonna be some epic shit! The smell is still so amazing! You could probably fuck up the drying and curing and still smell the citus! Lol.. But I will still keep updating as I go! Drying - Day 7.. I went ahead and put some smaller nugs into a jar to see what they were reading.. Still way too high.. In about 8 hours it was reading 84% RH so they still got at least a couple more days drying. Drying - Day 8... Ok so I was feeling the nugs I already trimmed and jarred.. They feel pretty crispy. So I'm jarring them again today. I have trimmed up 2 more of the bigger colas but I can feel that they still have some moisture.. So later today I'm going to finish trimming up the last one (which is gonna be awful lol it has alot of smaller branches that are gonna be very tedious) but that one is gonna have to be left out to dry a little longer than the rest. As of now, I have 3 jars filled.. I may even need to buy another jar.. I really wish I had some big mouth mason jars so I can buy those lids for curing! Those things look legit asf! Later that night... So I have now finished trimming.. The jars that I had already filled were reading 62% RH on the dot.. I like to have it at 65% - 68% RH to have some room to get it down to 62% after a week or two.. But this shouldnt be any issue.. Will add 62% packs when the jars get below 60%.. But since they are already at 62%.. I dont want to burp very often at all.. 62% RH is where I like my bids at. I have a sandwich bag FULL of trim.. That is gonna make some amazing bubble hash! Very airy bud.. But this strain is very beautiful.. Smells great.. Just the airy buds.. Will definately grow again.. Will update with a taste test in 15 - 30 days.. Would rather get the cure done before I taste her.

This plant was fun the whole way through. I had some issues up front and the plant got super stressed but in the long run she developed one huge bud so that's pretty exciting.

Cant take my eyes off my plant. This is my second round of growing and I am the type of person who learns through failure (not gonna upload the pics of the first round plants lol). The buds are thickening up very nicely. Hoping to get between 3-4oz , the strain is high yielding but I have a smaller tent. My auto yielded 2oz with the same space (2 plants in one tent splitting the space), but the buds definitely didn't develop as well as these buds.

**Week 5 | Godfather OG** Real growth this week — height jumped from 14cm to 33cm. The structure backs it up: strong lateral branching off the main stem, nodes stacking tight, and the canopy is already filling out nicely for this stage. No stretch issues, no leggy growth — she's building a proper frame. Feed has stepped up to match the growth rate: CANNA Aqua Vega now at 3ml/l (up from 1ml/l), CalMag Agent 0.9ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l. EC reading 1.2 mS/cm, pH 6.2. Watering volume bumped accordingly to 1L per plant per 24h with the increased root demand. Outdoor conditions have turned properly summery — day temps hit 35°C this week, nights down to 18°C. That's a big swing and a hot one, but no sign of heat stress on the leaves, no canoeing, no wilt. The native soil integration through the bottomless pot is clearly helping buffer root zone temps and moisture even when the air gets that hot. Humidity sitting at 60%, light schedule now at 17h as days lengthen. Next phase is about keeping pace with this growth rate without letting the heat catch her off guard during the hottest stretch of the day. Updates every Sunday. Stay tuned.

💜 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! 🌱💚

So far, so good. And now in the 5th week, all Sweet Seeds started flowering. However, Madame Jealousy is far from having enough of growth. One of my favorite features to observe in her: She takes her time. So far all phenotypes from the strain have been like this. As a result, it already feeds itself stably into the starting blocks. Makes sense.

Hey everyone, so Thc bomb has grow into a big girl. Ph has been a lot more stable I was pushing too much potassium, and it was causing issues as coco got less wet. If you were growing in a 2x2 tent this 1 plant is too big. Lol thanks again Bomb seeds, and Spider farmer. 🌱🔥💣💥🤤💨💨💨 Thank you grow diaries community for the follows, likes, comments, and special thanks to my YouTube channel subscribers. Happy growing everyone, and be safe🌱🌱🌱 If interested in purchasing a Spider Farmer SF-1000 please follow appropriate link below : US：https://amzn.to/396hXXb CA：https://amzn.to/3ol4oK4 DE：https://amzn.to/3q15SJT UK：https://amzn.to/2L7NVKN AU：https://amzn.to/3pZD6ZQ FR：https://amzn.to/2Xkomsi IT：https://amzn.to/3nk7A7h ES：https://amzn.to/2XhtGwB

Hi meine lieben, 🤗 Die Sämling-Phase hat begonnen... In dieser Phase braucht es am meisten geduld, da der sämling noch recht empfindlich ist.

the whole week plant was preparing for the harvest I flushed, I did HST, just thrust in it with a knife (I spied on this method from Zurban_Poisonia, thanks to him for the idea) this should help release the resin. buds looks great! I think that cool for such light (it consumes 93 watts) Harvest will be coming soon

Can’t wait to see the quality of hash! Update: great return/ great terps and daytime effects 12/27 update pressed 1.3 grams of bubble hash came out lil waxy still a little wet, i’m drying in box on parchment paper with desiccant packs. In the refrigerator. Took approximately 48 hours to drive and had to re-sift twice and refreeze obviously. Not the easiest process to do it manually when you have a 20-30g puck of hash.freeze dryer is needed update: freah press is great in a 430 temp in 3dxl chamber. Did another 10 gram test run thru 25 u triple wrapped. Rosin is very nice quality.

Amazing the difference a week can make on some of these plants. She beautiful and getting gassy already. Lowered the temp to 72. Juice is still pumping

Light experimental LST throughout the week. Started getting signs of root rot on 7/3/2023. The res had started to smell like a pond, and the roots were browning heavily. Added 35mL of 3% H2O2 to the reservoir, followed by a double dose (~16mL) of Hydroguard

Anfang vierte Blüte Woche Pflanzen sehen gut aus Habe sie generell wenig gedüngt

🌱 : Partial harvest on day 80 💧 : Flush with 5l H2O on Day 80, 4l 💡 : Dli: 45 mol/m²/d 🤔 :
