Purple Haze Auto by Zamnesia 💜🌱 Week 1 Vegetation | Quiet Confidence Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back to another week in the garden. Today we’re taking a closer look at Purple Haze Auto – Pheno B, the second representative of this legendary cultivar and a plant that, from the very beginning, seemed determined to remind me how much variation can exist even between sisters sharing exactly the same environment. As always, the goal remains unchanged: To document every stage honestly, share observations as they happen, and follow each phenotype individually from seed to harvest. And while her sister showed a little more quirkiness during her first days above ground, Pheno B decided to take a slightly different approach. She simply focused on growing. ⸻ The Same Foundation Just like every plant in this project, Purple Haze B was transplanted directly into her final 15-liter container filled with Plagron Lightmix. The entire run follows a 12/12-from-seed methodology, so minimizing root disturbance remains one of the priorities from the very beginning. Rather than moving through multiple container sizes, each plant receives its final home immediately, allowing roots to establish naturally and continuously throughout the cycle. The objective is simple: Less interruption. More momentum. And during this first week, she appeared to settle in extremely well. ⸻ Environment Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week. 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C 💧 Humidity: 55% 🌱 Root Zone Temperature: 21°C ☁️ CO₂: Approximately 600 ppm Lighting was provided by the Future Of Grow Black Series LED system delivering approximately 350 PPFD under a 12/12 light schedule. Because the plants receive only twelve hours of light per day, total Daily Light Integral remains lower than what would normally be delivered under an 18/6 schedule, allowing seedlings to adapt comfortably to stronger light levels without excessive daily exposure. Judging by her posture throughout the week, Purple Haze B seemed perfectly comfortable under those conditions. ⸻ Nutrition The first irrigation consisted only of water, allowing the seedling to establish itself naturally within the substrate. After several days, a gentle feeding schedule was introduced using: • Plagron Terra Grow • Plagron Power Roots • Plagron Pure Zym • Plagron Sugar Royal All applied at light concentrations appropriate for young seedlings. At this stage the objective remains root development, healthy establishment, and steady progression rather than aggressive growth. Strong foundations first. Rapid growth comes later. ⸻ First Week Observations Purple Haze B had a very smooth first week. From the earliest photographs she displayed healthy color, balanced growth, and a structure that became increasingly symmetrical as the days progressed. What immediately stands out when comparing her to her sister is how uniform her development appears. The leaves expanded evenly. The internodes remained compact. Growth stayed centered. And every new set of leaves emerged looking increasingly organized and well-defined. By the end of the week she had already developed beautiful three-finger leaves and displayed the classic seedling architecture growers love to see during early vegetative growth. One of the things I enjoy most about documenting separate phenotypes is noticing these small differences. Both sisters are healthy. Both are vigorous. Yet each one already expresses that vigor in its own way. Pheno A carried a little more youthful unpredictability before finding her rhythm. Pheno B simply arrived looking composed from the start. Neither is better. Just different. And that’s exactly what makes phenotype hunting so enjoyable. ⸻ Looking Ahead Week one was all about establishment, and Purple Haze B handled it beautifully. Roots are expanding. The plant is adapting to her final container. Nutrition has begun. Growth is accelerating. And the foundation for the weeks ahead is now firmly in place. While it’s still far too early to predict what characteristics she may express later in life, her first week suggests a healthy, balanced, and very promising plant. Sometimes the loudest plants are not the ones that impress the most. Sometimes it’s the quiet confidence of steady, consistent growth. And that’s exactly what Purple Haze B delivered this week. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along on another seed-to-harvest adventure. Grower’s Love everyone. 🌱💚💜
