๐Ÿ’œ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 12 Purple Haze by Zamnesia โ€“ Pheno B The Little Frosty Queen Is Still Shiningโ€ฆ Even When She Hides From The Camera ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And... well... I have a small confession to make. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Somehow... SOMEHOW... I managed to miss the individual photographs of our Purple Haze Pheno B this week. Again. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚ I know. I know. After all the talk about how much I love documenting these girls, here we are... with no dedicated photo stack of our little Frosty Queen. Apparently, she decided: "You've photographed my sister enough. This week, I'll be mysterious." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ But before anyone thinks she's disappeared... she hasn't. She's right there in the room. She's growing. She's beautiful. She's developing. She's doing exactly what she has been doing throughout this entire adventure. And thankfully, we do have general room photographs and a video showing the whole 8ร—8. So if you look closely... you can still find our little Purple Haze girl in there. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ And I may still find the missing photographs. I've been digging through different folders because I genuinely believe I took them. So... if they suddenly appear from some mysterious photographic dimension... I'll come back and update this week with her individual photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ For now, though... we work with what we have. And honestly? Even without the dedicated portraits... I know this girl. She's still beautiful. She's still shining. She's still growing. She's still doing her thing. She's simply doing it a little slower than her sister. And that's perfectly okay. So let's give our little Frosty Queen the spotlight anyway. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ WEEK 12 โ€“ THE GIRL WHO DOESN'T NEED TO RUSH โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Purple Haze Pheno B continues to be exactly who she has shown us throughout this adventure. Compact. Beautiful. Frosty. And... slow. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ Especially when you put her next to her sister. Purple Haze Pheno A has apparently discovered the accelerator pedal and refuses to let go. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿš€ Pheno B? She's driving with the windows down and enjoying the scenery. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And that's okay. Because when I look at Pheno B, I don't see a plant that's failing to keep up. I see a plant following her own rhythm. She's developing. She's flowering. She's continuing to build. She's maintaining her beautiful appearance. And she's slowly becoming more substantial. She's simply doing it on her own timetable. That's one of the most important things this 8ร—8 Adventure continues to teach me. Not every plant needs to move at the same speed. 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’œ SMALLER THAN HER SISTER โ€“ BUT STILL A BEAUTY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ There's no question about it. Purple Haze Pheno B is smaller than her sister. And right now, she's also somewhat behind her in visible flowering development. But that's not a criticism. It's an observation. And there's a huge difference. Her sister is moving extremely quickly. The flowers are becoming enormous. The week-to-week changes are dramatic. Pheno B is taking a different road. She's more compact. She's slower. She's developing at a more measured pace. And yet... she's beautiful. That's what matters. Because if I walked into the room without knowing which plant was which, I wouldn't look at her and think: "What's wrong with this plant?" I'd look at her and think: "There's our little Purple Haze." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ She has her own appearance. Her own structure. Her own rhythm. Her own identity. And that's exactly what we want to document. 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 THE FROSTY QUEEN IS STILL FROSTY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ If there's one characteristic that has remained impossible to ignore with this girl... it's the frost. โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ Even without this week's individual macro session, I know what I'm seeing when I look at her in the room. That beautiful resin-covered character is still there. The flowers continue developing. The surrounding sugar leaves continue carrying that frosty appearance. And when the room lighting hits her from the right angle... she catches the light beautifully. She's not the biggest girl. She's not the fastest. But she has something that makes you stop. You see her. You look closer. And there she is. Our little Frosty Queen. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ That's her identity now. And honestly... I wouldn't change 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”€ ๐Ÿ‘ญ TWO SISTERS โ€“ TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CLOCKS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The contrast between Purple Haze Pheno A and Pheno B continues to be one of my favourite things about this project. Same genetic line. Same room. Same lighting. Same general environment. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional foundation. And yet... completely different development speeds. Pheno A is flying. ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ Pheno B is cruising. ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ˜‚ And that's exactly why having both in the same room is so valuable. If I only had one Purple Haze plant, I might look at her development and think: "This is how Purple Haze behaves." But because we have two phenotypes sharing the same environment... we can see that there isn't necessarily one single expression. There are differences. There are personalities. There are rhythms. There are individual plants. And Pheno B is giving us a beautiful example of that. 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 SLOW DOESN'T MEAN STOPPED โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is something I want to repeat because it is important. She's slower. She's not stopped. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ There's a massive difference. She's still developing flowers. She's still changing. She's still growing. She's still using the environment. She's still building. She's simply doing it more slowly than the girl standing beside her. And honestly? That's okay. Plants don't read our weekly schedules. They don't know that we've labelled something "Week 12." They don't look at the diary and think: "Shit, better hurry up." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŒฟ They have their own biological timing. And this girl has made her timing pretty obvious. She takes her time. She does her thing. And eventually... she gets there. 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 THE GREAT PHOTO HUNT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Now... let's talk about the elephant in the room. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ Where the hell are her photographs? I genuinely think I took them. I've been looking through folders. Different folders. Old folders. New folders. Folders that apparently contain everything except the photographs I'm actually looking for. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ๐Ÿ“ธ So I'm still hunting. And if I find them... I'll come back and update this week's diary with her individual photographs. Because she deserves them. But for now, we have the general room photographs. And we also have a video showing the entire room. And she's in there. You can see her. You can find her. You just need to play: "Where's Purple Haze Pheno B?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”Ž๐Ÿ’œ It's basically a grow-room version of Where's Wally. Except Wally is a frosty little Purple Haze plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ And honestly... I'm sorry, girl. You deserved your own portrait session this week. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŽฅ SOMETIMES THE WHOLE ROOM TELLS THE STORY โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The funny thing is... although I always prefer having dedicated photographs of each phenotype, the general room photographs and video actually give us something different. They show context. They show where she sits. They show her relationship with the rest of the canopy. They show the scale of the room. And they remind us of something important: This isn't twelve separate grows. It's one 8ร—8 environment. Twelve individual plants living inside it. And Purple Haze Pheno B is part of that larger picture. She's there. She's growing. She's developing. She's simply not standing in front of the camera this week saying: "Look at me." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Maybe she's shy. 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 SAME PHOTONS โ€“ DIFFERENT RESPONSE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The environment hasn't changed specifically for her. The upgraded lighting remains in place. The two additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures continue providing the extra lighting capacity. We've kept the output controlled rather than simply running everything at maximum. We're still working around: ๐Ÿ’ก ~59% power from the plug with approximately: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy and naturally varying intensity according to height and position. And Pheno B is receiving those same photons. Just like her sister. Just like the rest of the room. But look at the result. Her response is different. Her development speed is different. Her structure is different. Her timing is different. And that's the beautiful part. The photons are the same. The plant's interpretation isn't. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’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”€ โ˜€๏ธ MORE LIGHTING CAPABILITY โ€“ CONTROLLED โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I continue to really like the additional lighting setup. The point was never simply: "Let's make the room as bright as physically possible." ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ The point was to increase our capability. More available lighting. More flexibility. More control. And then find the level that makes sense for the room. The additional Future of Grow fixtures gave us that headroom. We don't have to run them flat out. We can control the output. And that means we have more capability without automatically turning that capability into wasted electricity. Purple Haze Pheno B gets the same opportunity as everyone else. What she does with that opportunity? That's her story. 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 STILL MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Even without the dedicated photographs this week, the general room images and the video show us something important. She's still developing. She's not suddenly standing still because her sister is moving faster. She's still part of the flowering progression. The structure is continuing to develop. The flowers are continuing to gain definition. And her overall appearance remains beautiful. That's what I want to emphasize. We shouldn't confuse: "not moving as quickly as Pheno A" with: "not progressing." Those are completely different statements. Pheno B is progressing. She's just doing it at her own speed. And that's okay. 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€“ NOW WE START EASING BACK โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ As we move further into the later stages of the flowering cycle, we're also beginning to change the nutritional approach. And this is something I personally prefer to do gradually. I don't like the idea of working with mineral nutrition and suddenly going: "Right. Zero everything tomorrow." ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's just not how I prefer to approach the transition. Instead, I like to start reducing the nutritional input progressively as the plants move toward their final stages. Small steps. Controlled changes. Watching the plants. Allowing the transition to happen rather than slamming the door shut overnight. And that's what we're beginning to do across the room. Pheno B is included in that gradual transition. We're not trying to force her because she's slower. We're simply allowing the entire room to move forward while continuing to observe each plant individually. Her development may be slower than her sister's... but her needs are still her needs. And that's something I always want to respect. 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 WEEK 12 โ€“ ROOM CONDITIONS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The room continues to remain broadly stable around: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: ~26.5ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: ~26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง RH: ~61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: ~25ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH: ~6.02 ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: ~1.45 L/plant/24h ? Pot size: 15 L The important thing here is that the room remains the room. We're not changing everything because one plant is slower. We're maintaining the overall environment while paying attention to the individual responses. And Purple Haze Pheno B continues to tell us: "I'm good. Just give me time." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ Fair enough, girl. 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 DOING LESS โ€“ SEEING MORE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is becoming one of the biggest themes of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Earlier in the grow, there was plenty to do. Training. Canopy management. Defoliation. Positioning. Adjustments. Decisions. Now? A lot of the job is observation. And I actually love that. Because when the plants are healthy and developing, you don't need to invent work. You need to pay attention. Look. Measure. Listen. Watch. And if something is needed... respond. Otherwise? Let the plant grow. Purple Haze Pheno B doesn't need me constantly touching her. She needs time. And she's getting 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”€ ๐Ÿ’œ HER SISTER MAY BE FLYING โ€“ SHE'S STILL SHINING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is probably the biggest thing I want to leave with everyone this week. Yes... Pheno A is absolutely flying. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ”ฅ Her flowers are becoming enormous. Her weekly changes are dramatic. She's moving incredibly quickly. But that doesn't make Pheno B less interesting. Quite the opposite. Pheno B gives us the comparison. She's showing us another expression. Another pace. Another architecture. Another flowering rhythm. And when you put both girls into the same room... that's when the experiment really comes alive. One says: "Let's go!" The other says: "Relax." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ And both are 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”ฌ THIS IS WHY THE 8ร—8 ADVENTURE EXISTS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is exactly why I wanted to run these plants together. Not to prove that one phenotype is better. Not to make every plant behave identically. But to watch what happens when different plants receive a shared environment. The room becomes our constant. The genetics become the variable. And the plants provide the answers. Purple Haze Pheno B is giving us a particularly interesting answer. She's smaller. She's slower. She's frosty. She's compact. She's beautiful. And she's completely herself. That's enough. More than enough. 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‘‘ THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN STILL DESERVES THE CROWN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Even without the photographs... I'm not taking the crown away from her. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธ Because she continues to shine. She's not the biggest girl. She's not the fastest. She's not trying to compete. But she has her own presence. She has her own look. And when you know the plants well enough... you can spot her. You know her structure. You know her rhythm. You know that frost. You know that little compact personality. She's become recognizable. And that's one of the coolest parts of following a plant for twelve weeks. You stop seeing a label. You start seeing a personality. Purple Haze Pheno B. The little Frosty Queen. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ 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”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ More development. More flowers. More resin. More evolution. And hopefully... more photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ I'm going to keep looking. And if I find her missing photographs hiding somewhere inside the chaos of my folders... they're coming straight into this diary. But even without them, the journey continues. We'll keep watching her through the general room photographs. We'll keep watching the videos. We'll keep watching the plant itself. And most importantly... we'll let her decide her own pace. No rushing. No forcing. No pretending she's moving at the same speed as her sister. She's not. And that's perfectly fine. 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 FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ STILL SHINING WITHOUT THE 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”€ Week 12.

She's simply doing it at a slower pace than her sister. And this week... we somehow managed to forget her photographs. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ My apologies to everyone following her diary. And especially to the little Queen herself. If I find those photographs hiding somewhere in the endless folder jungle... I'll update this week. Until then, we have the general room photographs and the video showing the whole 8ร—8, where our little girl is still there doing exactly what she's supposed to be doing. And honestly? That's what matters. Because the plant doesn't stop being beautiful just because I forgot to take her portrait. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ She's still shining. She's still evolving. She's still catching photons. She's still building flowers. She's still showing that beautiful frosty expression. And she's still giving us one of the most interesting contrasts in the entire room. Her sister is flying. Pheno B is taking the scenic route. But both are telling us something valuable. Same genetic family. Different expression. Same room. Different rhythm. Same photons. Different response. And that's the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ So keep shining, little Frosty Queen. Take your time. Keep building. Keep doing your thing. We'll be watching. And next week...

We are watching trichomes every day and it looks like it is almost ready so we are thinking of harvesting next week. It is already possible to see some amber trichomes. Unfortunately it seems that we are not going to harvest the expected amount, the buds were not very dense and fat, apparently the buds are just small leaves with trichomes.

Week 15. 50 days of growth, 49 days flowering, stalled in between (growth phase), which was a good thing, it allowed time to go by and 2 plants were gone by the time she was coming into heavy flower and RH was in a much more desired range of 50-55 still high I know but the last 2 weeks I've been able to bring her right down. I know it's a little to late. But it has frosted up. I'm going to try 2 get more trichs for her final week. I've taken most her fan leafs and some sugar leafs, will hopefully send the plant into an overdrive of sorts and will force the plant to defend itself releasing more sugars and movemebt of fluids to stressed parts. Also I took half of lots of sugar leafs and the remaining fan leafs I cut halfs off. Dunno if this will help but I'm trying new things here, well new for my understanding, not new new (Targeted defol to get extra trichs/resin). Put her on a flush, just 3l she was still eating ppm was 150 from 1l of run-off I caught tap water is 78ppm. Topped her up with flawless finish today her 1st 1l 1 9f 2 for this week she'll get water then another flawless finish on day 6 and ill keep her on that and 1 more watering tben imto dsrk windoe 36-48hrs. Will hang dry, hopefully the whole plant. And will give her a l of water before harvest to prolong drying time for a 10-14 day dry at 55-60%rh 19-21c. Thanks for reading. This will possible be the last update if things get frontier as a result of what I did I'll post updates but what I'm gonna do is already planned. So update will only be on if quality has improved by eye. 16/4/22 Targeted defoliation and trimming the sugar leafs, (be sure just to take some leaf, not frosted). It'll send your plant into overdrive and it'll think she's been eaten alive and it'll force her to defend and prop herself up increasing in resin/long trichs. This is all theory btw. As there is no real way to tell if this works, you'd only know by growing this stain many many times and doing 50/50 And you might, might be able to tell if it's had an impact. But it wont hurt, that's if u don't take too much. So, I checked over and over and over her. Ponderd and then paused, smoked a few blunts, many bongs later and an hour goof. After taking a look after her 12hr rest her stigma is so little and she's flushed. Stopped eating more or less. Maybe she could do with another week. But sadly, 102 days is all I can Will be in the 55-57 day window of flowering after rest. So Barneys are solid in flowering time, id say she'd of only been an 12-13 wker like the zkittlez organic, as when there is little trouble or stalls barneys grow windows are usually spot on. They both gotta come out tbh . Zkittlez I'm going to push to the last day I possibly can. I plan to heavily feed this girl with water tonight (TDA), tomorrow and then 1hr again before harvest. This hopefully will prolong the drying time. When chopped all her sugar, fan leafs will be left on. After she dries for 4-5 days I'll trim off all sugar/fan leafs without frost and then after she's fully dry I'll trim to get to the end product and of course I'll be smoking all frosty trim, if there's enough I'll try my hand at bubble hash. We shall see, either way it'll be smoked as it's frosty as crap. This plant has been a true gem to work with Barneys has truly out did themselves. This was my tester, it was a freebie test seed that was dropped and I was just going to plant q zkittlez but ended up putting my hand in my pocket and guess what, there was a TDA seed it. I was sitting down and dropped it, thought fell through the sofa after it popped out of the seal and thankfully she got planted, as she would of been just another zkittlez, I love it and all, but I'm a little tired of smoking the same stuff tbh. It's lovely and all, but a bit of variety and all that good stuff! Happily I'm going to get some nice and frosty TANGERINE DREAM AUTO. Who knows what she'll give. Feel free to have a pop dry weight or wet. To all our Ukraine brothers&sisters much love to you and your families. Stay safe, well as safe as you possible can that is.

Day 51, 4th of November 2020: The 3rd day since the lamp switched to be 12/12. I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plants remain in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... They look good and strech is on the way..... Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;)

IM so glad I picked up this limited edition strain from ace seeds. She smells like a tropical fruits . Always wanted to try growing a p.c.k strain (Pakistan chitral Kush). Genetics speaks for it self. Buds are slowly fattening up, and getting loaded with resin. I have nothing but big hopes for her. I can wait to try this baby. I think this is going to be some top shelf smoke ๐Ÿ’จ

Ms Mia Wallace went to town and blew the f up. Lots of leaf growth but no sign of bud spots- I know itโ€™s early days tho. Watered with half serving of bloom nutes. Not the ideal nute mix I think, but served me well last grow. Also, as I turned up the light to max power, I noticed heat stress so i turned it down and successfully installed the worlds most eco friendly trellis - one minute- hockey net - next minute - weed trellis. Itโ€™s called upcycling boys and girls. I know itโ€™s shit, Iโ€™m gonna reinstall it one more 1/4 ass so itโ€™s a full half-ass scrog. Point is, the canopy is flat, pushed that puppy down so thereโ€™s more distance. Light back to 100%. Humidity was a little higher under the canopy, even with the dehumidifier, so I put my inline fan back in (was just a booster in-line fan before) and the temp and humidity is dropping. Saw a little bug. Hit the top & bottom canopy layer with light neem oil spray then incecticidle soap. I saw a small critter so I put Diatomaceous Earth on a upside down Tupperware lid. Donโ€™t know if that works. Last time I did a top coat of the stuff on top of the soil - something happened and bad nute burn. Anyone know anything about this? Finally, also tied down a bunch of branches to let the light hit the lower areas. Tune in next time, where Iโ€™ll show you how to make a trellis from a pair of spandex Leggings , Peanut butter and a single streamer from the handlebars of a kids bicycle. Keep your buds green, and your grow room clean.

4/1/25 She has super long, almost spider web type pistils that are super beautiful. I can see the calyxs packing on under neath the pistils and forming the buds. She has a nice stacking to her. Maybe 6+ nodal cola. Shining, fuzzy, glistening trichomes stretching out across the fan leaves. Top Dressed with 2Tsp of Bloom, 1tsp of Microbe Charge, and 1Tsp Bloom Booster. Ive also been trying a new method for the top dressing efficacy. I got the idea while watching build a soil using the earth box. I have started covering the soil with some aluminum foil to kind of act as a cover so the feeder roots will come up to where the top dressing is. which seems to be working fairly well and simply. 4/6/25 She is producing super nicely so far. Seems to be thinner, longer buds. But i can visibly see the buds forming calyxes underneath the pistils. Very bulbous and full calyx stacking 4/7/25 the buds are starting to pack on some weight. everything looks happy and
