💜 8×8 Adventure – Harvest & Trimming Diary 🌿 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B ❄️👑 THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN — A SLOW JOURNEY, A LOUD FINISH! 💎🌸💜 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 My friends... HERE WE GO AGAIN! 😂😂😂 Another girl, another harvest, another trimming session, and another opportunity to discover that plants with the same genetic name can sometimes give us completely different experiences. Today, we're continuing the story of our Purple Haze Pheno B by Zamnesia. Our Little Frosty Queen! ❄️👑 Last week, we reached the harvest chapter and documented the beginning of her post-harvest journey. This week, we're moving forward with the trimming process, the final numbers, and a closer look at what this little lady delivered. And believe me, she had a few surprises waiting for us! Before we get started, I strongly recommend checking out the previous reports if you're discovering this diary for the first time. You'll find her earlier development, the flowering journey, and the harvest-day observations there. Each report is part of the same story, and going through them gives you the full picture of how we arrived here. But let's have a quick recap first! ──────────────────────── 🌱 A QUICK RECAP — THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN'S JOURNEY Purple Haze Pheno B was one of the twelve individual plants participating in our 8×8 Adventure. This project follows our 12/12-from-seed approach, with different genetics and phenotypes sharing the same general growing environment and overall cultivation ecosystem. And this girl certainly had her own personality! From early on, she developed at a much slower pace than some of her companions. Her leaves also showed some unusual and stressed-looking expressions along the way. She was, quite honestly, slow as hell! 😂💜 Her sister, Purple Haze Pheno A, had already completed her journey around the same time. And even the plant that didn't really develop as expected was reaching the end of its story. Meanwhile, our little Queen was still doing things in her own time. Her development wasn't the smoothest or most impressive-looking journey in the room. But as always, I prefer to let the plant tell its own story rather than judge everything by appearance during the growing stage. And eventually, she reached harvest. The flowers were frosty, the aromas were already making themselves noticed, and we were ready to see what she would deliver after drying and trimming. Now we have the final numbers. And a very interesting little personality to discuss! ──────────────────────── ✂️ TRIMMING DAY — HAND WORK, PATIENCE AND A TRIM BIN! As with the other girls in this adventure, we approached the trimming process with patience and care. The TrimBin was ready, the curved scissors were ready, and it was time to give our Little Frosty Queen the attention she deserved. Everything was carefully trimmed by hand. No rushing through the flowers, no unnecessary rough handling. Just taking our time and working through the harvest, one flower at a time. The TrimBin is a familiar part of our workflow by now. It helps keep the trimming area organised and allows us to collect the loose material produced during the process. And yes, after all those hours of trimming, it was another reminder that even a smaller plant can keep your hands busy! 😂✂️💚 The flowers were carefully separated, inspected and prepared for their next stage. And this was also where one of the most interesting things about this phenotype became increasingly obvious. The smell! OH, THE SMELL! 💜💨😂 ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST, THE AROMAS AND THAT INCREDIBLY LOUD PROFILE! Let's talk about what really made this girl stand out. Because, my friends, it certainly wasn't the final weight. It was the quality of what we were looking at, and especially what we were smelling! The amount of visible frost was beautiful. The flowers carried an impressive resinous appearance, and the aromatic profile was something else. This plant was LOUD! And when I say loud, I mean that her smell seemed to travel everywhere. 😂💜💨 What's particularly interesting is how closely her terpene and flavour profile resembles that of her sister, Purple Haze Pheno A. The same general character. The same familiar Purple Haze direction. But with one very noticeable difference: Pheno B was considerably louder! The aromas were much more pronounced, much more present, and difficult to ignore. It was one of those moments when you stop trimming for a second, take another look at the flowers, and think: "Well... somebody certainly brought the personality!" 😂😂😂💜 I also find it interesting to consider the unusual development and stress-like leaf expressions we observed throughout her journey. Plants can respond to environmental stress through different physiological and biochemical pathways, and those responses can sometimes influence secondary metabolites, including compounds involved in their aroma and defence. Could that have contributed to the particularly pronounced aromatic expression we observed here? It's an interesting possibility, but we cannot establish that from this grow alone. What we can say is what we actually experienced: a plant that showed some unusual development, produced a relatively modest harvest, and surprised us with an exceptionally loud aromatic profile. And sometimes, those are the observations that make a grow particularly interesting. 🔬 Same genetic family. Similar overall terpene direction. A very different level of aromatic expression. That's worth documenting! ──────────────────────── ⚖️ THE FINAL NUMBERS — SMALLER HARVEST, BIG PERSONALITY! And now, let's put the numbers on the table! Because we know everyone is curious to see what our Little Frosty Queen delivered. 🌿 Wet flower weight: 628 g 💎 Final dry flower weight: 78.5 g The final weight is the dry flower material, ready to move into the curing stage. Now, let's be honest. These aren't particularly impressive numbers when compared with some of the other girls in the 8×8 Adventure. And considering the time this plant took to reach the finish line, we certainly weren't looking at a heavyweight champion! 😂👑 But I don't want to judge this phenotype exclusively by the scale. The amount of visible frost, the aromatic intensity, and the overall quality of the flowers made this harvest interesting in a completely different way. This is something I often say throughout my growing diaries: I don't chase grams. I care about the complete experience, the quality of the flowers, the aromas, the terpenes, and what each individual plant can teach us. And this girl gave us plenty to appreciate. A smaller harvest, yes. But one with a very strong personality! 💜❄️ ──────────────────────── FROM TRIM BIN TO CURING — PREPARING THE FLOWERS FOR THEIR NEXT CHAPTER Once the trimming was complete and the flowers were prepared, it was time to move them into their curing stage. As with the other girls, we used Grove Bags to store the finished flowers. The intention is to allow the flowers to continue their post-drying maturation while the TerpLoc material helps manage the internal moisture environment and gas exchange. One important distinction: Grove Bags are designed for curing and storage, not as a replacement for proper drying. Getting the flowers appropriately dried before placing them inside is still essential. We want to preserve the work that has already gone into the harvest, while giving the flowers time to settle and develop further. And with a phenotype carrying such a pronounced aromatic profile, I was particularly interested in seeing how that character would express itself after a few weeks of curing. Would that already powerful aroma remain just as present? Would the flavour follow the same direction? Would the experience be similar to her sister, or would Pheno B reveal another surprise? Those were the questions waiting for us. But we'll leave those answers for the smoke review! 💜🌿 ──────────────────────── 🔬 TWO PURPLE HAZE SISTERS — SAME FAMILY, DIFFERENT RESULTS! I think this is one of the most interesting comparisons in the entire Purple Haze chapter. Let's put the two sisters side by side. 💜 PHENO A — THE BIG MAMA 👑 A more substantial plant. 🌿 A considerably larger final harvest. 💎 Beautiful flowers and a classic Purple Haze character. ❄️ PHENO B — THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN 👑 A slower, more unusual developmental journey. 🌿 A much more modest final harvest of 78.5 g dry. 💎 An impressive frosty appearance. 💨 A remarkably loud aromatic profile, very similar in character to her sister but much more pronounced. Same genetic family. Same general growing environment. Same overall project approach. Yet two different expressions. And this is exactly why I enjoy documenting individual phenotypes separately. If we only looked at the genetic name and combined their results into one report, we would lose so many interesting details. Pheno A gave us the Big Mama story. Pheno B gave us the Little Frosty Queen story. One delivered more in quantity. The other surprised us with the intensity of her aromas. Neither needs to be the same as the other. And both deserve their own place in the 8×8 Adventure! 💜👑❄️ ──────────────────────── 📸 THE PHOTOGRAPHS — A LITTLE MORE OF HER STORY As always, the photographs are here to document the different stages of the process. You'll see the flowers after drying, the trimming work, the TrimBin, the collected material, and the final numbers. There are also a few details from the Grove Bags used for the curing stage. I enjoy keeping these photographs together because they allow us to look back at the complete journey. From the living plant to the harvested flowers. From trimming to the final preparation for curing. And eventually, from the curing stage to the finished experience. The photographs are not just there to make the diary look pretty. They are part of the documentation. And with this girl, I think they help tell an interesting story: a plant that wasn't particularly impressive in size, but certainly knew how to make an impression in other ways. 💜📸🌿 ──────────────────────── 🔭 WHAT COMES NEXT? THE SMOKE REVIEW! And now, my friends, we have another chapter waiting! After giving the flowers a few weeks to cure, we moved on to the next stage and finally had the opportunity to experience what this Little Frosty Queen had to offer. The aroma was already promising something special. But how did that translate into flavour? How did she compare with her sister once enjoyed? And did that incredibly loud aromatic profile carry through into the finished experience? Those are the questions we'll be answering in the smoke review. I'm keeping that part separate because I want to give the experience its own space, just as we've done with the other phenotypes. For now, the trimming is complete, the final numbers are recorded, and our Little Frosty Queen is safely in her curing bags. One more chapter completed! 💜❄️👑 ──────────────────────── ❤️ FINAL THOUGHTS — SHE DELIVERED IN HER OWN WAY! Purple Haze Pheno B. Our Little Frosty Queen. 😂💜👑 I won't pretend this was the most impressive plant in the room. She was slow. Her leaves showed some unusual expressions. Her development wasn't always what we expected. And the final dry weight was certainly more modest than her sister's. But that's only one side of the story. Because when we reached the trimming stage, what stood out was the amount of frost, the beautiful flowers, and that absolutely delicious, incredibly loud aroma. The terpene profile was remarkably similar to Pheno A, but so much more pronounced in its aromatic intensity. And that is what makes this phenotype memorable for me. She didn't win on quantity. She didn't win on speed. But she certainly made herself noticed! 😂💨💜 Sometimes a plant reminds us that there is more to a harvest than the number on the scale. And this girl did exactly that. A modest 78.5 grams of dry flowers, but a whole lot of personality packed into them. So, Little Frosty Queen... You may have taken your sweet time. You may have tested our patience. But in the end, you delivered in your own way. And I'm glad we gave you the time and space to tell your story. 💜❄️👑 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU — TO EVERYONE WHO MAKES THIS ADVENTURE POSSIBLE!

WE FINALLY MADE IT! 😂💜 After following this little lady from seed, through her unusually slow development, all the way to harvest, trimming, and curing, it's time to discover what our Purple Haze Pheno B has been keeping for us. And I have to say... SHE IS LOUD! VERY, VERY LOUD! 😂💨💜 If you've followed the previous reports, you already know that this girl wasn't exactly the fastest or most straightforward plant in the room. She took her time. She showed us some unusual leaf expressions. She gave us a much more modest harvest than her sister. But when it comes to aromas, flavour, and the overall smoking experience, she certainly knows how to make an entrance. Today, we're giving the spotlight to our Little Frosty Queen. And although her smoke profile is very similar to her sister's, she deserves an individual report because there is one characteristic that makes her stand out immediately: INTENSITY! Let's get into it! ──────────────────────── 🌿 A LITTLE RECAP — FROM A SLOW GROW TO A LOUD FINISH Purple Haze Pheno B was part of our 8×8 Adventure, where twelve individual plants shared the same general growing environment under our 12/12-from-seed approach. Throughout her journey, she developed at her own pace. She was considerably slower than some of her companions, including her Purple Haze sister, Pheno A. And while her sister became our Big Mama, Pheno B earned another title: The Little Frosty Queen! ❄️👑 At harvest, she delivered: 🌿 Wet flower weight: 628 g 💎 Final dry flower weight: 78.5 g Not the biggest harvest of the adventure, but the flowers had something particularly interesting waiting for us. The amount of visible frost was beautiful, and the aromatic intensity was already making itself noticed during trimming. After carefully hand-trimming the flowers and placing them in Grove Bags for curing, we gave them time to settle before finally moving into this smoke review. And now we can appreciate the finished experience. ──────────────────────── 💨 AROMA — CLASSIC HAZE, WITH THE VOLUME TURNED ALL THE WAY UP! Let's start with the aroma. Because, honestly, this is where she absolutely shines! 💜💨 The first thing that comes to mind is classic Haze. That familiar, unmistakable character that many growers and enthusiasts have known and enjoyed for decades. Pungent. Herbal. Diesel-like. A little sharp and sour in its overall impression. And wonderfully Hazy! It's not an overly sweet or candy-like profile. We're talking about a much more traditional aromatic direction, with that strong herbal and fuel-like character that makes you recognise the family immediately. But here's the interesting part. Her sister, Pheno A, delivered a very similar aromatic profile. Pheno B, however, takes that same general character and makes it considerably louder. And when I say louder, I really mean it! 😂😂😂 This girl is VOLATILE! The aroma is incredibly present, powerful, and difficult to ignore. It seems to travel everywhere, and every time I open the container, she reminds me that she's there. It's one of those profiles that doesn't politely introduce itself. It walks into the room before you do! 😂💨👑 I absolutely love this characteristic. Same classic Haze direction as her sister, but with a much more pronounced aromatic expression. A proper little aromatic powerhouse! ──────────────────────── 👅 FLAVOUR — THAT FAMILIAR HAZE CHARACTER! And what about the flavour? Well, the same general character carries through into the smoking experience. The pungent, herbal, diesel-like profile remains present, bringing that classic Haze personality we already recognised from Pheno A. There is a familiar connection between the two sisters, and I think that's one of the most interesting aspects of this comparison. They share a very similar flavour direction. But just as with the aroma, Pheno B expresses it with considerably more intensity. She's bold. She's distinctive. And she doesn't disappear into the background! 💜🌿 If you're someone who enjoys traditional Haze profiles rather than overly sweet modern dessert-style flavours, this is a very enjoyable direction. For me, this is exactly the kind of classic character that makes Purple Haze so recognisable. And this little Queen delivers it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 💨 SMOOTHNESS — A VERY ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE Despite that powerful aromatic personality, the smoking experience itself was just as enjoyable and smooth as her sister's. The overall smoothness was very similar to Pheno A. No dramatic difference between the two in this department. And that's something worth mentioning because her aroma is so much louder that you might expect the entire experience to be dramatically different. But it isn't. The familiar smoothness is there, and the overall experience remains very pleasant. Of course, individual sensitivity and smoking conditions can influence how anyone experiences a flower, but in my own comparison, the two sisters were remarkably similar here. The biggest difference remains the intensity of the aromatic profile. Pheno B simply turns that dial up! 😂💜 ──────────────────────── ⚡ EFFECTS — ENERGY, HAPPINESS AND A LITTLE CREATIVE CHAOS! Now, this is another part where our Little Frosty Queen really shines. The overall effect is very similar to her sister's, and it's exactly the kind of experience I associate with an uplifting, energetic Haze profile. For me, the main characteristics are: ⚡ Energetic 😂 Giggly 😊 Happy 🎨 Creative ✨ Euphoric 🌞 Uplifting This is the kind of experience I personally enjoy when I want to feel more engaged, creative, and in the mood for conversation. She's a lovely companion for creative activities, relaxed conversations, listening to music, or simply enjoying a moment with good company. And sometimes, you just find yourself smiling for no particular reason! 😂💜 I also find the overall character quite versatile. It's not an experience I would personally associate with getting ready for bed. Her energetic and uplifting personality makes her much more suited to moments when I want to remain active and engaged. She's got that happy, lively Haze character. And yes, the giggles are definitely part of the package! 😂😂😂 ──────────────────────── 🌞 WHEN WOULD I ENJOY THIS GIRL? For me, this is a lovely option for moments when I want an uplifting experience. Creative sessions. Conversations with friends. Music. Photography. Working on ideas. Or simply enjoying a relaxed afternoon with a smile on my face. Her energetic and euphoric character makes her an enjoyable choice for those kinds of moments. Some people may also find an uplifting experience particularly welcome when they're feeling tired or having a stressful day. However, everyone's response is different, and I wouldn't present this as a treatment for stress, anxiety, depression, or any other medical condition. I'm not a doctor, and this is simply my personal experience with this particular phenotype. What I can say is that I found her enjoyable, happy, energetic, and uplifting. And that's already quite a lovely combination! 💜🌞 One thing worth mentioning: because she can feel energetic and stimulating, she may not be everyone's choice when they're looking for a relaxing evening or help winding down. Know your own tolerance, take it easy, and remember that effects can vary from person to person. ──────────────────────── 💧 SIDE EFFECTS — A LITTLE DRY MOUTH! As with her sister, the main side effect I noticed was dry mouth. 💧😂 Nothing particularly surprising here, but definitely something worth mentioning in the review. Keep some water nearby and enjoy responsibly. As always, individual reactions can vary. ──────────────────────── 👭 TWO SISTERS, ONE CLASSIC HAZE CHARACTER — BUT DIFFERENT INTENSITY! I think this comparison deserves its own little moment. Because although the two Purple Haze phenotypes gave us very different growing experiences, their finished smoking profiles were remarkably close. 💜 PHENO A — THE BIG MAMA 👑 A more substantial plant. 🌿 A much larger final dry harvest. 💨 A pungent, herbal, diesel-like classic Haze profile. ⚡ Energetic, happy, euphoric, and uplifting effects. ❄️ PHENO B — THE LITTLE FROSTY QUEEN 👑 A slower and more unusual growing journey. 🌿 A final dry harvest of 78.5 g. 💨 The same general classic Haze profile, but considerably louder and more pronounced. ⚡ Very similar smoothness and overall effects. The difference is not that one has an entirely different personality from the other. It's that Pheno B expresses that familiar Haze character with much more aromatic intensity. And that's what makes her so interesting. Two sisters. Same familiar direction. Different levels of expression. This is why I love documenting individual phenotypes. The genetic name gives us a starting point, but the individual plant gives us the story. 💜👑 ──────────────────────── ❤️ FINAL THOUGHTS — SMALL PLANT, BIG PERSONALITY! Purple Haze Pheno B. Our Little Frosty Queen. 😂❄️👑 If I had to describe this girl in a few words, I would say: Classic Haze. Pungent. Herbal. Diesel-like. Incredibly loud. And wonderfully uplifting! She may not have delivered the biggest harvest, and she certainly made us wait throughout her growing journey. But the finished flowers brought something very special to the table. The aromatic intensity is the main highlight for me. That familiar Haze profile is there, just like in her sister, but with the volume turned way up. The flavour follows the same direction, the smoothness is very similar, and the overall effects are remarkably close. Energetic, giggly, happy, creative, euphoric, and uplifting. A lovely experience for those moments when you want something lively and enjoyable. And that's what I appreciate about this phenotype. She didn't need to be the biggest plant in the room. She didn't need to deliver the highest numbers. She simply needed to show us what she had. And, my friends... SHE DID! 😂💜💨 A little plant with a huge aromatic personality. A proper Little Frosty Queen! ──────────────────────── ⭐ MY FINAL VERDICT Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B A classic Haze experience with an exceptionally pronounced aromatic profile. 💜 Aroma: Pungent, herbal, diesel-like, classic Haze — very loud! 👅 Flavour: Similar to her sister, with the same familiar Haze character. 💨 Smoothness: Very enjoyable, comparable to Pheno A. ⚡ Effects: Energetic, giggly, happy, creative, euphoric, uplifting. 💧 Side effects: Dry mouth. 🌿 Overall experience: A very enjoyable phenotype, especially for anyone who appreciates a traditional Haze character with plenty of aromatic intensity. For me, this little Queen was a lovely surprise. And she certainly deserves her crown! 👑❄️💜 ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU!
