BEST genetics I want to see the different clours of the flowers right now🎌📸 Expectatives Is all. I have the BEST phenos here🎌🌱💣

Still looking pretty good so far. After harvesting Girl Scout Cookies Auto, Yuhbary Auto is sharing a light with my two other, much younger plants. The light is a lot closer to Yuhbary Auto than before, which leads to discoloration of some fan leaves, but as far as I understand it, that's to be expected due to suddenly increased photosynthesis. A lot more Trichomes are getting milky, but so far, no amber ones in sight. UPDATE: That was that - Yuhbary Auto suddenly developed amber trichomes and the lower fan leaves started to turn yellow. A lovely grow, a lovely plant and a very nice outlook on what's to come in her next phase.

Hey guys! New week, here we are! As always, every Sunday is cleaning day. Took everything again from the tent, washed the saucers. Was also time to cut down some leaves as it was starting to look very bushy and hard for the light to get through it. During that time, came across with some bugs under the foliage, which isn't a great sign for sure. Not to mention the fruit flies that moved in and are making my life a little chaos. On top of that it seems that this little one is getting some deficiencies. Gonna ask for help in the right section to clear it out Reducing now the RH a bit, and watering now on every 72h instead of 48h to keep the grow as dry as possible. Increasing the ventilator speed was another attempt, it so much air circulating should be hard for them to make a living inside. Just put now more of those fly traps and will add a couple glasses of cider vinegar here and there, as it attracts most of the flying things with success. Note that some plants are yellowing and that's never a good sign. Though for few weeks it was Nitrogen deficiency, but after increasing it and the CalMag values, the problem persists, so I'm inclined for something bug related. Besides that, temps are still very stable, RH was changed, now to 40% tops, and the light went a little lower to get it closer to the plants - always with the light burn effect in mind. 40cm is the line between the tops and the lamp. Flowering is looking good, buds are forming well and seems that's gonna be a good ending if I can keep the bugs under control. Oh, I forgot. She has a weird smell, like a rotten mango. Not sure if that's the skunk in it coming up, or if I should actually dig and look for root rot. I don't believe in the latter one as my feedings are never abundant/excessive, use fabric pots, have great ventilation. But, the fact I don't believe in it doesn't mean I'm right. Probably I'm wrong. First signs of trichomes are here, you can see it with the naked eye. That's all folks, have a great week

hace tiempo tenia ganas de cultivar esta cepa, de buen crecimiento y aroma dulce. muy buena produccion de cogollos y resina, resistio muy bien algunos problemas al inicio del cultivo en la poda apical y posterior LST, buena cepa para LST muy frondosa

As for the ground - worked for 99%. Water+organic stimulants = great set-up. Saw a bit of an excess of nutrients, I will take that into account next time. 120 grams of flowers not including trimmings, yes, there are some sugar leaves - and I'll keep those :))

Judge for yourself...

Going well;)))

Buenas tarde familia, actualizamos el diario de las skunk de Zambezaseeds, y es que estoy tan sorprendido , es una cepa que produce flores muy muy compactas, sigue floreciendo con lo cual sigo regándolas solo agua ajustando el ph a 6,5 . Temperatura y humedad dentro de los parámetros, 1/3 anda algo sobre fertilizada de las últimas semanas las 2/3 están como la seda , aún así todo pinta fenómeno tengo muchas ganas de cosechar y probar esta variedad y ya queda menos , pasen buen finde semana fumetillas.

The last 100 meters shallow hahaha. The vegetative growth and bud formation are good I believe we will have at most 15 more days for plants # B1 # B2 # B4 # B5. Plant # B3 has small white pistils and, due to its structure, there is no way for it to be a photoperiod so it will have more days than its sisters. **UPDATE: B3 finally starting flowering with 66 Days ***UPDATE: 68Days flush Plants OK

Erstmal zum Trocknen aufgehängt. Ergebnis kommt noch.

This looks ready for harvest, flushing started 10 days ago, smell is so strong especially during the night, buds looks dense , even we still at the 9th week but this monster is ready for harvest.

o Going to flower before my cream and cheese gets to big. o twice a day watering o humidifier on o one oscillating fan one fixed o added super thrive o increased bokashi juice

10/20/21 - They all look great today. We are moving up to week 2 in the feeding schedule. The plants will hopefully start going big after a few feedings with Grow Big. 10/21/21 - Looking good. The Sour OG is definitely growing and turning back to green. Fed with nutrients and misted all plants. 10/22/21 - They all look great today. It’s obvious they are growing, especially the Platinum Wedding Crasher. We topped them this evening :) 10/23/21 - Looking spot on. Topped a few more plants and took some light blocking leaves off. Fed with nutrients also. 10/24/21 - They all look very perky today. They are growing so fast. We’ll be adding a second ScrOG net for flower in about 3 weeks. 10/25/21 - They all look really good today. Very perky and obviously growing :) In a couple days we’ll be moving to week 3 of nutrients. 10/26/21 - Looking really lush today. Very green and perky. The soil was dry so we finished week 2 of nutrients. On to week 3 tomorrow.

[Day 47] 08/13/21 - It's hard to believe these are all the same strain. Looks like 4 phenotypes at play. They all have differences in growth type, smell and size. #4 has zero trichomes so far and not the most pleasant scent. The others have a very pleasant smell with subtle differences between them.

MIMOSA ZKITTLEZ / GANJA FARMER WEEK #16 OVERALL WEEK #6 FLOWER This week she's stacking nicely her buds are getting fatter, you can see her trichomes overall she's really looking nicely!! Stay Growing!! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look it's much appreciated!! THANK YOU GANJA FARMER!! BUDTRAINER.COM BUD CLIPS MIMOSA ZKITTLEZ / GANJA FARMER

----- WEEK 4 ----- ----- Day 22 ----- Looking great today. Bud sites are REALLY developing fast, no burned ends at tips of new leaf foliage even at 1500ppm feeding 20 liters yesterday. Residual humidity is finally under 50%. Dehumidifier took out 5 gallons of water over last 24 hours bringing basement from 50-52% (had 4 humidifier gauges all reading 50/51/52/52%) down to 47%. At this rate 3~ days basement is at 35% and tent is good at 40%~ residual humidity. Not a lot of smell yet, but I smoke all the time so my ability to smell pot is kind of hindered by the fact I waft the smell everywhere I go. Fertilizer regiment is the exact same this week. 1500ppm 18-20Liters depending on how long last feeding takes to dry. Still wet today, but these ladies drink it up during the day at an astronomical level compared to my last grows. Probably will put 1-2 more photos at end of light cycle tonight, maybe gets some shots at lights off to get true color for the diary. Humidity is pissing me off. Have 2 dehumidifiers going right now. Humidity is just ramping up and down all day. Turned 2nd one on about an hour ago. 4 hours from now i'll check the basement humidity and as well plants for some shots before lights off to wrap up today. Feeding tomorrow, wet dirt is almost unseen, can feel some residual moisture below a knuckle of soil depth. *EDIT* even 2 dehumidifiers aren't working as quick as I want. So i'm going all out.... 8lbs BULK silica gel (Biodegradable non-toxic food grade safe) orange colour that doesn't contain the toxic substance (BLUE COLOR) that turns green at 50-60% full capacity. Can be dried in oven at 0-2hrs at 250 Fahrenheit by watching color go back to orange. (use parchment paper!) 4lbs will go in bottom of tent in pillow case, i'll flip it over 2-3 times a day to allow exterior silica gel balls (4mm size) on floor be able to switch spots for maximum effect. Based on how fast it completely hits green, i'll then do this: 4lbs in tent goes into oven during A.M when i wake up lights on to dry, dry 4lbs goes into tent until next morning, newly dried 4lbs of silica gel bulk put into container just large enough to hold the amount and not add water... rinse repeat.. Time to % fully wet is what will change how often this happens. Will spread out the pillow case as thin and long as possible to try and have no "hidden" beads in the pillow case from humidity/moisture capture. I'll continue to discuss this strategy, it'll be delivered supposedly tomorrow. Humidity is the most dangerous portion remaining of my grow. Now that pruning was 100% successful and feeding/watering is something i can do in my sleep, the last remaining problem is humidity (mold, botrytis). I plan to use this diary to make a single diary for each strain, for august and september newbie/grower of the month contest entry. I will pull no punches making sure this grow goes off perfectly with high times award winning buds. I've done it before and I can do it again in bulk at 5x5 25sq foot tent size at 1000watts instead of 4x4 600w. No new pics for ... 3 1/4 hours before lights off. ** FINAL DAY 22 UPDATE ** Lights off time. here's some shots of a bud sites (used LED Flashlight for true white color under HID) I might have by accident switch labels on these plants (rofl) when I transplanted.. thought I caught the error.. but the Tropicanna Glookies is showing pink pistils which is Wedding Cake trait, and the Tropicanna Glookies will turn purple as bud coloration at end of grow.. so time will tell... Doesn't mean anything as both are fed and watered and pruned all same time same amounts. Sugar leaves are clawing showing potentially too much Nitrogen. Tomorrow's feeding I'll increase the Liquid Koolbloom and lower the FloraNova Bloom to let plant soak up some nitrogen... but this could be just due to other small factors. I'm not too worried there's no real signs of nute burn in the tiniest of new leaves. I'll find out how the lower FloraNova Bloom reacts to the clawed sugar leaves, and to the currently properly green fan leaves/new leaf structure on bud in a couple days from tomorrow's feeding. Will watch for magnesium/zing issues like last time although due to changes in nutrient requirements for growth factors (bud instead of leaves), zinc might not be as needed this feed and will not show deficiencies hopefully. Speaking of last feeding. The girls are done with the 20 Liters of water from yesterday morning. 36 hours right after they're dry. Tomorrow i'll be doing 24 Liters total watering. Tonight I fed each 500mL of tap water (10ppm 6.3-6.4ph) to prevent turgor pressure loss overnight. They're getting THIRSTY!!!! Till tomorrow! ----- Day 23 ----- Humidity still a pain in my ass can't wait for the silica gel. 24 Liters @1400ppm 6.4ph feeding Smell has increased to a very candy sweet smell. Its delicious. ***UPDATE*** Great pics from this evening. Sugar leaf clawing still happening but only in the shade. I'm not concerned I used 4mL total of FloraNova Bloom (4-7-8) so I HIGHLY doubt its nitrogen excess. (*EDIT*) I forgot I had fed a full dose of FloraNova Bloom to stop zinc deficiency symptoms so it's probably over nitrogen from the zinc feeding. The plants are huge luckily and today's 24L of watering had nearly zero nitrogen and would have flushed out any remaining, I will watch those leaves closely, luckily there are a lot of sights for photosynthesis even if the clawed leaves yellow or die off as they're in the shade and barely get any light as it is... Time will tell. Total amount of leaves effected would be under 10% easily so I am pretty confident things are moving forward as normal for the plants. Only Wedding cake effected too. Randomly pick off fan leaves that hide other bud sites. Wedding Cake has pink pistils in the LED light faintly, don't think I miss labeled them anymore. Not much to say today, just a slow battle with the Humidity and a beautiful time to watch the "grass" grow over the 12 hours of lights on. Bud sites are already connecting on larger stems, and are thickening much faster than I expected... she's in full blown bloom now look out !!! ----- DAY 24 ----- Humidity is finally dropping. Down 7% from normal tent wake up humidity. Gotta get down another 7%. No pics yet. Gonna let em grow a bit today. I am not too worried about the nitrogen issue, might get a tiny bit of die off but I went into the canopy underneath the trellis and the plants are great and looking healthy. I'd say under 1% of leaves showing any form of yellowing, didn't see any browning. The smell is RIDICULOUSLY sugary. My God it's like breathing in pure candy. Hopefully within a week or two the smell will develop just enough to be able to separate them from each other to figure out what each plant individually smells like. **UPDATE** Humidity goes up and down 5-7% throughout the day. Silica Gel is now in tent, will see how that does overnight. Plants doing well, I remove any fan leaves in the way of buds but try and not remove more that 7-10 a day to not induce stress. No worsening of Nitrogen excess, Yesterday's big feeding with barely any nitrogen looks to have helped. Buds are fattening nicely. Will be looking next grow to switch out floraNova Bloom for a less nitrogen filled micro feeder as i have liquid koolbloom and powder for the flower macro nutrients. Way too many nitrogen issues with this flower feeding. Tomorrow should be feeding. Soil currently moist, but within 3~hrs of lights on tomorrow I expect the ladies to need another 24 Liters. I'm going to do some research on specifically what micro nutrients i'd be missing with no FloraNova Bloom but utilizing everything else I normally use and maybe not use it at all for the next couple feedings and just increase the KoolBloom liquid and maybe throw in some Triple phase black strap molasses. *EDIT* Looking at the micro nutrient content of Blackstrap Molasses I will be using it instead of FloraNova Bloom from here on out, and only use Bloom once every 3 feedings to give just enough nitrogen for bud development. ----- Day 25 ----- Humidity is okayish. I'll be able to probably get away with it at this level if I clean up some fan leaves as buds thicken. Time will tell I've got about 14 days more before it becomes an issue. Plants look great. Watering intake has changed, but I don't know if it's the different irrigation feeding heads so I will be replacing all of them with 1 standard type (8 spitter black) or if the plants themselves having different intake requirements now. Order of Driest to most wet: Front Right - Tropicanna (1 old broadcast 1 old spitter) Back Right - Tropicanna (2 old broadcast) Back Left - Wedding (1 new spitter 1 old spitter) Front Left - Wedding (2 new spitters) Front left is the biggest one by hardwood girth (stem thickness) but the Tropicanna's have a ton more side branching and is more advanced in the budding size, so I feel if it's not an internal issue about to manifest and get worse, that it's about the amount of stomata each plant has, and the Tropicanna would probably have more. I have not backed this part up i'm about to say so take it with a grain of salt. I believe in plant botany, a large leaf or small leaf from the same plant will have the same amount of stomata but the larger leaf will be able to release more as the stomata hole is larger. So then it becomes a quantity vs quality. Wedding Cake can pump out water more per stomata, but Tropicanna has exponentially more stomata to release water at smaller amounts. Again don't quote me on this If I get bored I'll check it out in my Plant Botany books. Okay so I just checked an online scientific (frontier plant science) article titled "The Smaller the Leaf Is, the Faster the Leaf Water Loses in a Temperate Forest" and it doesn't prove my theory but states that due to border thickness and other reasons smaller leaves will lose water faster. So most likely, this isn't an irrigation issue, or a deficiency issue, but rather a simple botanical truth that my Tropicanna has much smaller leaves and a hell of a lot more of them then the Wedding Cake, so they will dry out faster, especially in a full sunlight environment. With this new knowledge, I will be feeding all plants as of normal, but keeping 2~ Liters at the bottom of the bucket and giving Tropicanna each 1L after auto irrigation for the additional water loss from smaller leaves. I mostly theorize and hypothesis out loud during my grows if you haven't noticed yet. It allows me to work out problems and see patterns that end up manifesting themselves in the future. The more I understand the beginning and subtle stages of an issue, the faster I can fix it or prevent further damage. I'm sometimes wrong, I'm sometimes right, but I always learn in the end and every one of my grows has been an exponential improvement on past mistakes. It's also why you'll never see me edit out where I'm wrong. That's just stopping me from learning, if a year down the road I come back and read this I won't remember that I withheld info and the exact details, hurting me and potentially making me re-do my error. Anyways... I fed about 200ml to Front right, 150 to back right and 100 to back left of tap water (10ppm 6.3ph) to even out the time between feeding being needed and turgor pressure loss. Going to tone back the feeding today, no FloraNova Bloom, going to aim for 1100ppm before ph adjustment. Went overboard on the nitrogen by accident when I saw the zinc deficiency and full fed FloraNova Bloom (starting to hate this fertilizer), and less than 5% of the back right plant have yellow tips on mature fan leaves but not new growth and the clawing hasn't worsened but remains the same. Third grow in a row FloraNova bloom has been a massive pain. At end of this grow I will be doing the nutrient math to find out what's missing micro nutrient wise in deficiency #'s present when removing FloraNova Bloom and choosing something else like the Molasses that has a hell of a lot less nitrogen and spot feeding with a Advanced Nutrients Micro (4-0-0) when nitrogen deficiencies could present themselves. Will still do 24Liters, but switch Bloom for Molasses. I've had molasses steeping at 1150ppm in 1L to give roughly 55ppm in 20 Liters overnight. I expect it to add 40ppm total to the 24L but I didn't do the math on a calculator just half assed it in my mind right now. Will update as need be today. **UPDATE** Fed 23L 6.3ph 1100ppm. No reason for 6.3 over 6.4 will go back to 6.4 next feeding was just lazy. Did a bit of fan leaf snippage. Took down some stems from bottom of bud stems on Wedding Cake that have shot up with long internodes. Cut off the from the first internode so the plant concentrates on the main stem for bud development and not lower side shoots wasting nutrients and time. Will do small defoliating here and there, not enough to make a difference, just any that could trap water and therefore botrytis/mold. I also shake all the plants multiple times a day (The stems are AMAZINGLY strong on Wedding Cake) to remove any moisture caught between leaves. Curling leaves are slowly lessening, seems like there were fewer when I went down to feed. Could be just my eyes but I feel like the plants back at 100%. Couple photos at lights off in 6~ish hours will be updated. Maybe able to see the difference in curling leaves. I'll make comparison shots from previous photos and if it's noticeable i'll post them here. *EVENING UPDATE* Pics popped up. Check out the cardboard pick and the single stem pick from Wedding Cake. Claw still there but the Buds are filling in SO FAST it almost looks normal lol. Tropicanna glookies is doing a popcorn nug style grow. Wedding Cake is just wild.. feels like easily 7-10 days ahead of some of my other grows on bud connection + thickness. Smells great, super sugary. I'm trying to figure out if it's cherry or strawberry notes. I can smell something fruity/citrus like but can't put my memory to the smell yet. Gotta let it get thicker dank first. This might be a redonkulous yield but I'm knocking on wood and not counting the chickens before they hatch yadda yadda. Till tomorrow. *last edit* Forgot that I put in Diamond Nectar for the molasses. 15ml total in 23L today. Used to assist in the chelation of the molasses and other nutrients. Will feed Diamond Nectar during Molasses feedings only and not during FloraNova Bloom iiiiiiiif it's needed to top up some nitrogen during bud expansion photosynthesis... there is thousands of leaves probably so it might need it. Time will tell. Cheers *Edit* ** YO I SEE MY ERROR, ALWAYS RE-READ YO SHIT lol** ((DOUBLE BRACKETS IS CORRECT MATH)) Been mulling around with numbers in my head. I wanted to do some math around the clawing of nitrogen and what it took per plant and eventually work out the ppm requirement to prevent clawing in these genetics further down the road for reveg. This may change somehow in the future: Day 15 - 1450ppm in 8 Liters of Full Flora Nova Bloom (extra feeding to prevent zinc deficiency... Usually only 100ppm in 12 liters was used) ERROR HERE -----> 1450/8 = 181.25 ppm per Liter of FL bloom <-- ERROR HERE Removing water won't change PPM!!!!! 8 Liters fed to 4 plants 181.25ppm / 4 plants = 45.3125 ppm of FL Bloom fed to each plant on Day 15 (( 1450ppm /4 = 362.5ppm)) That number x 4% (4-7-8 [n-p-k ratio of fertilizer]) = 1.8125 ppm of pure nitrogen per plant on day 15 feeding. (( 362.5ppm x 4% = 14.5ppm)) Anyone see any error in that math? (Also whats up with 181.25ppm /4 x 4% equaling 1/100th of itself in the end... too high to understand that connection) I'm going to go measure some stems tomorrow, but looking at Day 15 to day 25, 10 days (today) the fan leaf and sugar leaf has increased 40-60% on the Wedding Cake, and multiple main stems have increased up to 2-4 inches, while low side branches have sprung up to 10-12 inches in length before I cut them down today while also showing excess Nitrogen in sugar leaf clawing. This means that 1.8125 ppm of pure nitrogen in feeding Wedding Cake can produce massive vegetative properties during flower if applied at end of stretch transition phase of flower. ((14.5ppm!!!!!!!!) Especially since the canopy of each of the Wedding Cake plants is 2.5L x 2.5W x 1H feet in size so 6.25 cubic feet. If my math serves me right after a couple beers at 11 at night, 1.8125ppm of pure nitrogen can double 3.125 sq. ft. of Wedding Cake in 7 Gallon pots within 10 days. ((14.5ppm!!! 13~ x more !!! PREVIOUS MATH WAS WRONG DOUBLE BRACKETS IS CORRECT)) 1.8125ppm / 3.125 sq.ft of additional growth = 0.58 ppm... right? So 0.58ppm of pure nitrogen can double 3.125 sq feet of Wedding Cake fan leaf and increase stem height 2-4 inches while also showing excess nitrogen signs through sugar leaf clawing? That seems insanely low... but wow. ((4.4615 ppm of pure nitrogen per sq.ft.w of growth MUCH HIGHER)) Nitrogen during Transition stage is a very delicate beast even at very low properties and if only miss used once. Especially if your plants are friggin bonkers huge. In the future instead of full feeding a flower bloom with nitrogen included in the micro to offset a micro deficiency, I will just double or triple the normal feeding and lower the liquid koolbloom as the bloom micro had phosphorous and potassium. Also might switch out the fert for just Advanced Nut. Micro (4-0-0) and Molasses. I dunno yet, lets see how well the plants yield. Okay... end of stoner thoughts. *end of fixing errors hopefully* ----- Day 26 ----- Humidity still improving slowly, but it should be fine within the week, took 5 gallons of water out of the air last night between the 2 dehumidifiers. Basement is 43-45% Humidity depending upon what gauge you look at. Tent is roughly 50%. Plants are gorgeous. Everything's great. Will pop photos later tonight before lights off, slow day today, at most I might remove couple fan leaves if I see any in the ways of bud site development. I've figured out the candy like smells finally. Tropicanna Glookies has a pink bubblegum smell and the Wedding Cake is a sweet gum but hints of Cherry. Pretty wild as it doesn't even smell like pot. Roughly 35-40 days left. It's almost Big Bulk time. 1 more feeding in week 4 tomorrow. Starting week 5 no more big bud, will continue no FloraNova Bloom and spot feed only if nitrogen deficiency signs begin to manifest in small quantities. Molasses takes over for FloraNova Bloom with a bit of Diamond nectar to assist chelation. *edit* added photos. Feeding probably tomorrow early, or mid light cycle for sure. ----- DAY 27 ----- Feeding time shortly, prob 30min away. Updated some pics. No new real info. Slow boring part of the grow before big bulk starts. Going to feed 24 liters 1200ish ppm at 6.4ph with no FloraNova Bloom as there's no nitrogen deficiency signs currently. *UPDATE* Video 1 - Full shot of the tent, I moved the trellis netting to show how strong the stems are. Look at them wave like a sea of wheat in the wind. They're gonna be able to hold up POUNDS if they need to.. love it. Video 2 - Tropicanna Glookies Back Right popcorn buds filling in, they're already bigger than my thumb and I've got big hands. **UPDATE** god damn front right plant just stretched 3~ stems 2-3 inches... Why?? B-52 is 2-1-4 .. didn't even know it had nitrogen in it... Big piss off. I did not want more stretch. Will not be using b-52 anymore, will only use it for nitrogen if the plant shows deficiencies since it's pretty much a nitrogen fertilizer... god I wish i knew that earlier. Wedding Cake looks maxed out thank god as it's the highest. Tropicanna can always be "lowered" by removing the height supports under the pots thankfully. When you are feeding every 2 days 1300~ ppm at 24ish liters, 2 parts nitrogen is a lot of nitrogen... I'll be a hell of a lot more selective when choosing fertilizers with nitrogen (I've always known cal/mag is 1-0-0 but that's fine) Most likely from here on out its no more b-52 unless yellowing of under canopy fan leaves begins. Molasses is the replacement for bloom (with diamond nectar). .. Friggin Nitrogen, man. Luckily there is not a new production of fan leaves, only stretch and in only 3-5 stems currently. I'll watch closely. Luckily didn't do a full b-52 feed today. 20ml instead of 40ml in 24Liters of water. ----- Day 28 ----- Last day of week 4!!! No news is great news at this stage of grow. Added some pics, i'll add couple more before lights off. Feeding tomorrow, no more big bud, won't be using b-52 or FloraNova Bloom. *** CHECK THAT LAST PHOTO!!!**** 14 inch long stem, all internode spacing between buds is sufficiently short enough to get full coverage. By the end of this grow I am expecting this single stem to be a single bud structure 14 inches in length. We shall see but i am EXCITED!!!

5 days under the Mars Hydro and the growth is noticeable!

💜 8×8 Adventure – Week 12 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B The Little Frosty Queen Is Still Shining… Even When She Hides From The Camera 😂❄️💜👑 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And... well... I have a small confession to make. 😂📸 Somehow... SOMEHOW... I managed to miss the individual photographs of our Purple Haze Pheno B this week. Again. 🤦‍♂️😂 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." 😂💜❄️ 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 8×8. So if you look closely... you can still find our little Purple Haze girl in there. 👀💜🌿 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. 😂📸🕵️‍♂️ 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. ❄️💜👑🌿 ──────────────────────── 🌱 WEEK 12 – THE GIRL WHO DOESN'T NEED TO RUSH ──────────────────────── Purple Haze Pheno B continues to be exactly who she has shown us throughout this adventure. Compact. Beautiful. Frosty. And... slow. 😂💜 Especially when you put her next to her sister. Purple Haze Pheno A has apparently discovered the accelerator pedal and refuses to let go. 🔥💜🚀 Pheno B? She's driving with the windows down and enjoying the scenery. 😂 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 8×8 Adventure continues to teach me. Not every plant needs to move at the same speed. ──────────────────────── 💜 SMALLER THAN HER SISTER – BUT STILL A BEAUTY ──────────────────────── 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." 😂💜🌿 She has her own appearance. Her own structure. Her own rhythm. Her own identity. And that's exactly what we want to document. ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROSTY QUEEN IS STILL FROSTY ──────────────────────── If there's one characteristic that has remained impossible to ignore with this girl... it's the frost. ❄️❄️❄️ 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. 😂❄️👑 That's her identity now. And honestly... I wouldn't change it. ──────────────────────── 👭 TWO SISTERS – TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CLOCKS ──────────────────────── 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. 🚀🔥💜 Pheno B is cruising. 🚗💜😂 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. ──────────────────────── 🌿 SLOW DOESN'T MEAN STOPPED ──────────────────────── This is something I want to repeat because it is important. She's slower. She's not stopped. 😂💜 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." 😂📖🌿 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. ──────────────────────── 📸 THE GREAT PHOTO HUNT ──────────────────────── Now... let's talk about the elephant in the room. 😂📸 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. 😂🗂️📸 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?" 😂🔎💜 It's basically a grow-room version of Where's Wally. Except Wally is a frosty little Purple Haze plant. 😂💜❄️ And honestly... I'm sorry, girl. You deserved your own portrait session this week. ──────────────────────── 🎥 SOMETIMES THE WHOLE ROOM TELLS THE STORY ──────────────────────── 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 8×8 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." 😂 Maybe she's shy. ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS – DIFFERENT RESPONSE ──────────────────────── 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: 💡 ~59% power from the plug with approximately: ☀️ ~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. 😂☀️💜 ──────────────────────── ☀️ MORE LIGHTING CAPABILITY – CONTROLLED ──────────────────────── I continue to really like the additional lighting setup. The point was never simply: "Let's make the room as bright as physically possible." 😂☀️🔥 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. ──────────────────────── 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE STILL MOVING ──────────────────────── 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. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ NUTRITION – NOW WE START EASING BACK ──────────────────────── 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." 😂 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. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ WEEK 12 – ROOM CONDITIONS ──────────────────────── The room continues to remain broadly stable around: 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 RH: ~61% 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 💦 Nutrient solution: ~25°C ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 💨 CO₂: ~693 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💧 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." 😂💜 Fair enough, girl. ──────────────────────── 🌿 DOING LESS – SEEING MORE ──────────────────────── This is becoming one of the biggest themes of the 8×8 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. ──────────────────────── 💜 HER SISTER MAY BE FLYING – SHE'S STILL SHINING ──────────────────────── This is probably the biggest thing I want to leave with everyone this week. Yes... Pheno A is absolutely flying. 😂🚀🔥 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." 😂💜 And both are beautiful. ──────────────────────── 🔬 THIS IS WHY THE 8×8 ADVENTURE EXISTS ──────────────────────── 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. ──────────────────────── 👑 THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN STILL DESERVES THE CROWN ──────────────────────── Even without the photographs... I'm not taking the crown away from her. 😂👑❄️ 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. 💜❄️👑 ──────────────────────── 🔮 WHAT COMES NEXT? ──────────────────────── More development. More flowers. More resin. More evolution. And hopefully... more photographs. 😂📸 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. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS – STILL SHINING WITHOUT THE SPOTLIGHT ──────────────────────── Week 12. And Purple Haze Pheno B? She's still here. 😂💜❄️ She's still beautiful. She's still developing. She's still frosty. She's still growing. She's still doing her thing. She's simply doing it at a slower pace than her sister. And this week... we somehow managed to forget her photographs. 😂📸🤦‍♂️ 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 8×8, 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. 😂💜 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 8×8 Adventure. 💜🌿❄️👑 So keep shining, little Frosty Queen. Take your time. Keep building. Keep doing your thing. We'll be watching. And next week... I promise I'll try to find the damn camera roll. 😂📸 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU ──────────────────────── As always, thank you so much to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure. 💚🌱 Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share these stories with growers around the world. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple Haze genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover two such different expressions from the same genetic family. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the room with the growing media and nutrition throughout this adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore this expanded lighting setup in the 8×8. 💡☀️🌿 Thank you to Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the deeper and lower areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And finally... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every message. Every person stopping by to watch these girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. 💚 Even when I occasionally forget to photograph one of them... 😂📸🤦‍♂️ This adventure continues to teach us something every single week. Twelve plants. One room. One shared environment. And twelve completely different stories. Purple Haze Pheno B is writing hers slowly. Quietly. Beautifully. And with plenty of frost. 💜❄️👑 So let's give her the spotlight anyway. Let's let her shine. Let's let her take her time. Let's keep those photons flying. And let's see what this little Frosty Queen decides to show us next. And if I find those missing photographs... you'll be the first to know. 😂📸💜 Growers Love, my friends. 💚🌱 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where one Purple Haze sister is apparently racing toward the future... while the other is still enjoying the scenery. 😂💜👑❄️ And honestly? I wouldn't have it any other way.

Semaine au top tout se passe à merveille 🤩
