Hello everyone. Update on the Banana Runtz F1 Hybrid part two diary. They are officially entering week two of veg! And honestly, they are looking absolutely fine. We made a massive upgrade recently. They are now sitting directly under the LED light instead of playing hide-and-seek under the canopy of a flowering plant. They are finally enjoying their full day in the sun, and by sun, I mean the blinding artificial glory of modern technology. They look so happy, I half expect them to start wearing sunglasses soon. I really want to top them right now, but I think they need a day or two before it's actually wise to do that. Patience is a virtue, even if it feels like watching paint dry while standing in a sauna. For the rest, everything is beautifully dialed in. The humidity is sitting comfortably around 65%. Temperatures are 21°C at night, and they hit 26°C at the hottest point of the day. The lights are still running 24/7, because sleep is highly overrated when you're a high-performance F1 hybrid. Everything is looking great across the board. So, let's see how they look next week! Thank you for stopping by and have a nice day. Best regards, Growfather

9/26 This fucking sucks. Site won't let me upload pictures. Flood warning in effect. I believe this is the fifth day of rain. Not trickles. Sheet rain and high winds. My dream catchers have been taking this like a champ. Ice cream cake was totally sideways for awhile despite vertical trellis. I came down this morning to branches bent at 90° angles. I could've taken them but if I make it through this rain today it's supposed to stop tonight. Then I'll have a week of good weather. Buds are exploding. Even the ice cream cake. That will need more time but I'm getting close with the others. They are never out of sight. I'm surprised they've held up so well so far. I made my decision it would be stupid to alter it now, seeing how the storm is ending. I was going to spray k bicarb but I'll wait until after this rain.UPDATE: Went back over and the garden was flooded. I needed to put one grow bag on top of another as one plant was in six inches of water. I drained it and added supports and pulled off any dead leaves. I tried taking a video but it was raining so hard it stopped after 7 secs. Luckily my dreamcatchers are strong AF. Took to little ones and put them under the barn under a light. It's FINALLY stopped raining. After I smoke I gotta go back over and shake buds again and check for rot. Luckily nothing was broken but it was hanging right down. Fucking sucks. Spent like two hours in sheet rain. UPDATE: Stopped raining. I went over and continued to defoliate and cut little bits of rot from the interior. Sprayed a gallon of potassium bicarbonate and dawn on ever spot of rot I could find. I've been to the patch multiple times today. Found a few earwigs. I think I've found my problem. Late stage leaf septoria with earwigs eating the rotting plant matter. Fucking sucks but at least I have an idea. Can't upload pics and phone wouldn't even work in the rain. One 7 second video. 9/27 The extra work I've been putting in has certainly helped. I got in touch with a company who will do any type of extraction I want for $200 a lb. Fucking awesome. My cousin got 250 grams love rosin last year with this same company. I am sore. I checked trichs but I'm not seeing much Amber yet. Buds are gaining density fast. At least now that I have an idea what my problem is I can address it. Plants showed signs of pm after drying out. I did a k bicarb spray and this morning there isn't a spot. I need to take care of what's hanging so that's the plan today. 9/28 I think I made the right decision.my plants are looking good. Not where I want them but it's getting close. I checked the trichs this morning. Under 24 hour surveillance till harvest. Well it has been but now I stay up every nigh watching the cctv. Went down in the middle of the night to check for nocturnal bugs. Didn't find any. I've been defoliating the yellow septoria leaves. I went through every plant and cut out any rot and removed andy sugar leaves that started to turn brown. This and the k bicarb seem to help. I think that Leaf septoria has dwarfed the growth of the smaller dream catcher. Buds don't seem to be growing much more. Even my ICC has buds almost the size of the little one. The other dreamcatcher will probably be an elbow plant. The ice cream cake has beefed up incredibly and is covered in trich's. I'm super excited but I'm cautious at the same time. I hate that fucking dog but it's an added layer of security. Soon I'll do the harvest report for DJ short blueberry. 9/29 Trich's are changing fast. Haven't been watering lately do to all the rain. Plants are real real close. Up all night watching. Dog flipped out at 4am but no one was there. I want to wait until I have a little more Amber but I'm super excited. I may end up taking some tops. May end up doing a k bicarb spray today. Haven't decided yet. I'll update as I go. I've been making head way trimming the blueberry. 9/30. Things are looking beautiful. The smell at the garden is amazing. Lots of hard work left. Plants do have septoria and slight pm so I may do a bud wash. I cut a branch from each plant. I think I'm at the point of diminishing returns. Every wet night mold and critters take more and the chances of some idiot coming to try and take my shit increases. I may end up harvesting a little earlier. I'd lie to wait but the trichs look pretty good to me. Still doing all the maintenance required. I am extremely proud of this grow. I fought everything this year. Started with mites and thrips. Powder mildew came with them too. Now I've faced every pest or disease this year. At least it seems that way. I've seen the horror stories on my local Facebook thread. Leave your comments and let me know what you think about trichome stages and whether it would be ok to harvest. 10/1 Rained last night. Defoliated and removed some rot. I'll update later in the day. 10/2 Rained last night and I have A LOT to update which I will later.

This week they really exploded and all new growth is lush and green so they seemed to have settled very well after the composttea. The grape&cream #1 & #2 are starting to catch up to #3 as ive been bending and topping #3 a little more. Due to the blumats keeping their soil moist ive just put in about 200ml of composttea in each pot. All cuttings have rooted so far with just some pokon run of the mill cloning powder so thats a good thing to keep in mind. As we head into week 4 ive seen the possibility to do some defoliation and supercropping to try to get a bit of an even canopy. Keep you posted!

Week 10, Week 10 has been fun. The buds are becoming denser and starting to almost look like a finished product. I am planning on harvesting the plant the first week of next month, so three weeks or so and counting! I am adjusting the tie downs twice a week trying to get the buds as much sunlight as possible. I am watering every 3 days with 6.0 ph water. I have been putting a teaspoon of FloraNova in the water with a tablespoon of molasses mixed in but it appears she received a little nutrient burn. I'm not to worried about it because I wanted to make sure the flower sites received enough nutrients to make some dense dank buds. It isn't a huge burn but a little. As a result I started mixing only half a teaspoon of FloraNova in the water to make sure any future burn doesn't happen. I am excited about the plant, she is starting to look like a thiccy ha I am probably going to starting flushing in three weeks. Let me know if you have any questions/concerns/comments. Happy growing Growmies 🙌

She's almost ready for harvest. Right now, she will be on plain water for six days. Next, I'll give her one final big flush, let the coco dry out, and then it’s chop time. This strain is looking very dense and is covered in a nice amount of trichomes. Most of them are cloudy now, with a few amber ones starting to appear.

tent 1: as last week - coming along very strong with weighty buds and a lovely fresh white widow aroma forming - trichomes are getting thicker covering the plants with little crystals. may need some more sticks for support in the final weeks. 4 weeks of growth left and last week on the nirvana nutrient. pistils still mostly white tent 2: as last week also coming along well - trichomes are forming and the colas are looking heavy. nice to see mutli bud heads at the top of the colas on some plants - the mutants as i call them - hopefully showing their big bud genetics - pistals still mostly white. Tent 3: thankfully no hermaphrodites having been stuck in the light as per last week. the plant has returned to flowering nicely though looks alittle weak - a slight mistake that i do not want to make again - pistals and crowns are showing though and coming through with good progress. will lollipop next week. Tent 4: way more advanced than tent 3 with multiple pistils and colas blooming nicely - will need to lollipop next week.

The smaller Potter of Gorilla Glue is doing okay under the Spider Farmer G3000 light. The nutrition is a little strong for her, but I keep flushing the ph back up every few days. It's not causing any issues anymore, but needs to come up more in the substrate for flowering better. She had a selective defoliation done and fed. Then I placed her back in the tent.

Alright alright… getting to that fun stage. Flowers are fattening and we are going to run them another week and a half for the effects I’m looking for. They have been de netted and trimmed up to expose all bud sites. There will be no larf or popcorn this run.

Well, I can only apologise to 42fastbuds I top watered and left a small pool in the crown of the plant by mistake and now she's taken some damages. Learn from my mistakes people, don't leave feed solution on your plants:( This is my fault and not a genetic issues. User error 😆 Despite my mistake she has still doubled in a week and now she shows signs of recovery so all is not lost yet.

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 5 | The Classic Haze Begins to Stretch Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Every phenotype in this project has been raised under exactly the same conditions, yet every week they continue reminding me just how unique genetics truly are. Today’s spotlight belongs to Purple Haze – Pheno A, one of the tallest and most vigorous ladies in the room. She’s entering her first week of flowering, and while the stretch has only just begun, she’s already showing all the elegance and energy that make Haze genetics so iconic. ⸻ 🌱 The Journey So Far For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Rather than allowing a traditional vegetative period, every seed was placed directly under a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark schedule from germination. The goal is simple: To let every phenotype express its natural growth habit while comparing different genetics under identical conditions. Every plant shares: • The same environment • The same lighting • The same nutrients • The same climate • The same daily care The only real variable is genetics. Watching each plant respond differently despite receiving the exact same treatment is one of the most fascinating parts of this entire adventure. Purple Haze Pheno A is proving that beautifully. ⸻ 🌿 A Lady That Loves to Reach Standing at approximately 73 cm, she’s already among the tallest plants in the room. From the very beginning she showed a strong desire to grow vertically, but she’s doing so with remarkable balance. Long internodes. Healthy side branching. Excellent apical growth. Instead of producing a dense, squat structure, she’s developing the graceful architecture so often associated with classic Haze genetics. She has presence. She naturally draws your attention the moment you open the tent. ⸻ 🍃 Leaf Tucking Instead of Heavy Defoliation One of the techniques used throughout this week has been leaf tucking. Rather than removing healthy fan leaves, I’ve simply repositioned them beneath developing branches to expose lower growth sites to more light. It’s a gentle approach that allows the plant to keep all of her valuable solar panels while improving airflow and encouraging a more even canopy. Looking at her structure now, it’s already paying off. Multiple flowering sites are receiving direct light, and the entire plant has opened up beautifully without unnecessary stress. Sometimes the simplest techniques are the most effective. ⸻ 🌸 The First Signs of Flower Although we’re only considering this Week 1 of Flower, there’s no doubt she’s making the transition. Fresh pistils are appearing across the canopy. The tops are beginning to stack. New growth has taken on that unmistakable flowering appearance, with each growing tip preparing to become its own future cola. The real stretch is only beginning, and knowing Purple Haze genetics, she’s probably not finished reaching for the lights just yet. ⸻ 💧 Feeding for the Transition As flowering begins, nutrition has shifted to support the plant through this important stage while maintaining healthy, vigorous growth. Current feeding includes: • Terra Grow • Terra Bloom • Power Buds • pH adjustment for optimal nutrient uptake Rather than making sudden changes, the transition into bloom is gradual, allowing the plant to adapt smoothly while continuing to build both roots and flowers. So far, she’s responding exactly as hoped. ⸻ 🌡️ Stable Environment, Strong Growth Like every plant in this project, Purple Haze benefits from carefully maintained environmental conditions. Current grow room conditions include: • Day temperature: 31.1°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 72% • Solution temperature: 21.6°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 639 ppm Maintaining consistent environmental parameters ensures every phenotype is evaluated fairly, allowing the genetics themselves to tell the story. ⸻ 📷 This Week’s Gallery This week’s photographs capture a plant that seems to gain confidence every single day. The studio portraits highlight her graceful structure, while the close-up shots reveal healthy new flowering sites emerging across the canopy. Several images focus on the leaf tucking performed throughout the week, showing how opening the canopy has allowed light to penetrate deeper into the plant. The overhead views reveal excellent symmetry, and the room updates continue documenting the environment these ladies are growing in. It’s always rewarding to compare these images week after week and watch the transformation unfold. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should be incredibly exciting for this phenotype. I expect the stretch to continue for a little while longer before she begins putting all of her energy into flower production. As the canopy fills in and the bud sites begin stacking, it’ll be fascinating to see whether she develops the long, elegant colas often associated with Purple Haze genetics. She’s already one of the standout plants in the room for her structure alone. Now the flowers get their chance to tell the rest of the story. ⸻ 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every week these diaries become a little more exciting, and sharing every success, lesson, and surprise with this incredible community makes the experience even more rewarding. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from all over the world can learn from one another and celebrate the journey together. Zamnesia for the outstanding genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 🌱 Plagron for providing the nutrition supporting these plants from seed to harvest. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light powering this entire grow. 🌿 TrolMaster for maintaining a stable environment and helping every phenotype perform at its very best. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions, and sharing this journey with me. Every phenotype deserves its own spotlight, and Purple Haze Pheno A is already proving she’s more than worthy of hers. Growers Love and the adventure has only just begun. 💜🌿

9/14: They're all still swelling up, but a few are now showing some withered pistils ...shouldn't be much longer now for them. #4's and #3's..then it will bt the #10's. At that point, I'll probably go ahead and move the remaining 4 x #2's into my tiny tent and move all the seedlings into the closet. 9/17: Fed the #2's and #10's....flushed the #4's and #3's and the autos 9/18: Incredible reek coming out of the closet now whenever the exhaust is off...gotta leave it on more I guess...

Still vegging strong! Haha they are about the size I want before I flip. One of the center plants was a late germination and is a week behind I was trying to let it catch up in height and let it stretch out a bit more before I flipped but I’m getting close to just doing it. They are all really full and honestly massive haha it’s not usually my style to just let them grow and not do any defoliation but hey trying something new. I will at some point thin them out a bit. I will do a bit of bottom lollipoping before I flip for sure just to help with access for watering later on. Not much else to report, thanks for stopping by snd as always 🍻
