The week starts Monday, Jan-13 in flowering stage. The plant is growing fast, stretching long and I'm constantly tying down branches to maintain an even canopy. There's also a stronger scent of lemon already in the tent. Carried out substantial defoliation of almost all the big fan leaves and a few little stems that were not likely to make it above the canopy. Avoided defoliating the major cola branches. This encourages the plant not to waste resources on a node which is only going to produce “popcorn” buds. The plants reacted well to the defoliation and were looking good by the end of the light cycle for the day. The net is completely full and this will be the last week of applying any LST as part of the ScrOG setup. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy, with daily fertigation at lights on - watering almost 3L per day. Lowered the average RH in the space to 50%. ----prior 4 weeks updates ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Jan-06 in flowering stage. The net is filling up nicely with the ScrOG process being enjoyable - just tucking branches nicely under squares once stretched enough. Lost a branch end with 3 nodes accidentally whilst tucking away so now I'm super careful. The Sativa dominant strain is stretching nicely and bends easily. Minor defoliation of lower branches and fan leaves continues daily. Light is maintained at 30cm distance from canopy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Dec-30 in vegetative stage - switching the light regime to flowering. Initiated flowering with an extended dark period prior to switching light regime - this practice is supposed to promote a faster initiation of flowering by the plant. Maintain lights off from Dec-31, 10:00 until Jan 1 - 18:45 allowing a 32hr darkness period prior to switching the light regime. Light regime is set for 12.5/11.5 on/off allowing me a better maintenance window for my living situation. Both plants are growing fast and strong, showing their genetic traits. Some shoots are going through the net already. Have started to tuck branches as they grow to fill up any gaps. Did minor defoliation on both plants near their stem base and centres. Some green algae on roots/coco medium on the surface of the pot. Have defoliated some more which hopefully helps with air circulation at the area. Will monitor over the week - may need to decrease watering frequency, although they seem to be keeping up drinking. Lowered the High Humidity setting of the extraction fan to 60% - which effectively keeps it running at least 75% of the time, and removed the humidifier. Will monitor and adjust as necessary lowering the setting to 50% in a few weeks whilst flowering. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The week starts Monday, Dec-23 in vegetative stage. Installed the ScrOG net - Set at 20cm from the base of the plants, being 55cm from ground. The plant is showing great growth, lots of branching and new growth sprouts. A few branches are beginning to come through the net and almost all main branches are now tied down horizontally after the two recent toppings. Applied more LST and will wait for the branches to reach the net and start tucking. The AC Infinity fan is currently only running intermittently with its current settings. This seems to impact the utilisation and effectiveness of the carbon filter in use. The desired outcome is for the fan to be running for longer periods whilst in Auto config. Lowered the High Level Humidity from 70% to 60%, and more importantly, lowered the Max Speed from 4 to 2 with the intent that a lower fan speed will result in longer periods where the extraction fan is operated to remain below threshold targets for the grow space. Plant growth continues to be strong at the end of the week. Big fan leaves near the top are beginning to look a little serrated and dark, similar to the start of this grow. This may be due to the extra CalMag being added which was the issue at the start of the grow. Will keep monitoring and half the CalMag dosage on next feed. Importantly, I have learnt nutrient mixing of the CalMag should be done prior to the Canna Coco A & B. To date I have done the opposite which may explain my earlier issues. Fertigating daily at the start of the light cycle. One more week of vegetative growth before switching to flowering although I may need to switch earlier due to the vigorous growth and considering the stretch yet to come. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ................................. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My grow setup includes; - Secret Jardin DS120W tent (120cm x 60cm x 180cm) placed inside the bedroom. Passive intake of air is from a closed off section of the room where the central heating boiler sits - the intake is warm air (20 degC.) and fairly dry (40% RH) during the winter months. - Mars Hydro SP250 LED light - extraction fan - AC Infinity Cloudline T6 - ventilation fans - aquarium heater - small oil heater - small dehumidifier - 20L Airpots and 3.5L general pots for seedling stage - Canna Coco substrate and nutrients - pH and EC/TDS meters - Thermo/Hygro meter

I started the 2nd week of light nutrition

I preferred to remove my net this week, to more easily access my plants and water them. I hope the branches will hold I cut a lot of leaf this week. I hear different opinions that say it's beneficial others not... At least it will have the advantage of lowering the humidity. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Water: tap water at 300 PPM, I add 0.7G of Hybrid powder and 0.3g of booster PK+ per liter to reach 950PPM and I adjust the PH to 5.8. I watered daily until water drained from the pot (to release nutrients from previous waterings) and I take a 3-4 day watering break to let it dry out before resuming a daily watering schedule. -Daytime temperature: 22-26°C -Night temperature: 20-24°C -Humidity: 50-75% ( Too high but it's hard to lower it... I need advice please contact me if you have :) ) -Lamp: Mars Hydro FC3000. intensity 90% at 35cm from the top leaves -Room: Mars Hydro 100x100x180cm -Extractor: Mars hydro 402 CFM Max. power 3/10 -Substrate : 70% coco, 25% perlite, 5% vermiculite.

Estou trabalhando com fertilizantes orgânicos, comecei com Enraizante de lentilha, hoje comecei a fazer regas foliares e estou tentando usar uma técnica que aprendi para adicionar cálcio naturalmente na água, assim variando entre regas normais com água coletada da chuva e com água calcificada. possivelmente na próxima semana já mudarei os vasos. Essa técnica pra calcificar a água aprendi através da minha vó, ela cozinhava ovos e usava a mesma água pras raízes e nisso tem diversos pontos científicos, a casca do ovo tem grandes fontes de cálcio ao serem fervidas esse minério se desprende e se fixa na água, se tornando um tônico extremamente nutritivo. Fica a dica orgânica pra quem esta passando por problemas com baixo nível de cálcio Estou cultivando Arruda e Lavanda junto, elas afastam insetos e desfaçam o cheiro da cannabis, bom pra enganar aquele vizinho X9

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 8 | The Bush With Her Own Rhythm Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Last week I talked about how remarkably similar the two Purple Haze sisters had been looking. Well... That story has changed. 😄 This week, Purple Haze Pheno B is making it very clear that she has her own personality. While her sister has developed a different structure and expression, Pheno B has settled into something completely different: She's a bush. 🌿💜 Compact. Dense. Lush. Full of life. And absolutely comfortable being exactly what she is. This is one of the reasons I love growing multiple phenotypes from the same genetics. You can give two sisters exactly the same environment, exactly the same nutrition and exactly the same light... And eventually, genetics starts whispering: "Let me show you who I am." And this girl is definitely talking. 🌱 One Project. One Environment. Twelve Unique Stories. If you're new to the diary, welcome! This plant is part of my ongoing 8×8 Adventure, where twelve different cultivars are being grown together using the 12/12 From Seed technique. From the beginning, every plant has received the same opportunity: • The same lighting schedule • The same Plagron nutrition • The same AutoPot irrigation system • The same Future of Grow lighting • The same TrolMaster-controlled environment • The same temperatures • The same humidity No individual feeding. No special environmental treatment. No different light schedule. The genetics are the variable. And now, eight weeks into flowering, those genetic differences are becoming increasingly obvious. That's the beauty of this project. One environment. Twelve stories. And Purple Haze Pheno B is writing hers in a very different handwriting from her sister. 🌿 The Compact Purple Haze If I had to describe this phenotype in just a few words, I would say: Compact. Bushy. Lush. She's not trying to become the tallest plant in the room. Instead, she's building herself outward. Her branches are packed closely together, her foliage is abundant, and flowering sites are appearing throughout that dense structure. Looking at her now, I can see why she has developed into such a compact plant. There is simply a lot of plant packed into a relatively small space. And I love it. She has created her own little ecosystem. Everywhere I look, there are leaves. Behind those leaves, more branches. And behind those branches... flowers. 🌸 This is a phenotype that seems much more interested in building density than chasing height. And that's perfectly fine with me. 🌸 Week 8 – The Flowers Are Taking Shape The flowering sites are becoming much more established now. The delicate little clusters from the earlier weeks have developed into recognizable young flowers, with pistils continuing to emerge from the developing calyxes. There is still plenty of time for these flowers to swell and mature, but the direction is becoming very clear. She's flowering. She's stacking. And she's doing it everywhere. One thing that really stands out in the photographs this week is just how much healthy foliage surrounds the flowers. The plant remains intensely green and full of vitality. There is no shortage of leaves here. In fact... there may be a few too many. 😄 Which brings me to what's coming next. ✂️ The Defoliation Is Coming Until now, I've deliberately allowed this girl to keep her healthy foliage. I wanted to see how she developed naturally before deciding how much intervention she actually needed. And I'm glad I waited. Because now I can see exactly what I'm dealing with. She's lush. Very lush. The canopy is becoming increasingly dense, and as flowering progresses, I want to make sure the developing flowers have enough space, airflow and light penetration. So I believe next week will probably be the right moment for some selective defoliation. Not a dramatic haircut. Not stripping the plant bare. Just a thoughtful cleanup. Removing selected leaves that are: • Blocking developing flowering sites • Creating unnecessary layers of foliage • Restricting airflow inside the bush • Sitting in places where they provide little additional benefit The goal isn't to change who she is. The goal is to help her express what she's already built. And honestly... I think she's going to shine after it. ✨ 🍃 Keeping the Plant Healthy One thing I continue to appreciate about this phenotype is the overall quality of her foliage. The leaves are broad, healthy and strongly developed. The plant has maintained excellent colour and structure, and there are no major signs that she's struggling with the demands of flowering. This is particularly important at this stage. A plant can be large and impressive while still being stressed. That's not what I'm seeing here. Instead, she looks comfortable. She's growing at her own speed. She's building flowers at her own speed. And she's maintaining her own balance. That's exactly what I want to see. 💧 Feeding for Week 8 As flowering progresses, the feeding program continues to support the plant through this important period of flower development. This week's Plagron feeding consists of: • Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L Supporting the nutritional demands of flowering and continued flower development. • Power Buds – 1 ml/L Supporting the transition and development of the flowering sites. • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Providing additional support during the flowering phase as the flowers continue developing. • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Part of the flowering nutrition strategy supporting the plant as she progresses toward maturity. • pH Plus – 0.03 ml/L • Lemon Kick – 0.03 ml/L Used as required to bring the nutrient solution into the desired pH range. The current nutrient solution is sitting around EC 2.0 mS/cm, with a solution temperature of approximately 24°C. And, as always... every plant in this project receives the same recipe. The phenotype decides how she responds. 💡 Light From Above and Below The combination of the main Future of Grow lighting and the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues to be particularly interesting with this phenotype. Because Pheno B has such a dense, bushy structure, the additional light lower in the canopy becomes especially relevant. The upper canopy naturally receives the strongest illumination. But with a plant this compact, there are flowering sites developing throughout the interior and lower portions of the structure. The under-canopy lighting provides another layer of illumination in those areas. Again, I'm not expecting miracles. It's simply another tool in the ecosystem. And as I selectively remove some of the excess foliage next week, I'm particularly curious to see how the combination of improved airflow, better visibility of the flowering sites and additional lower-canopy light affects her development. 🌡️ A Stable Environment The room continues to provide a consistent environment for all twelve phenotypes. Current conditions for this update: • Flower Week: 8 • Height: 111 cm • Light schedule: 12/12 • Day temperature: 20°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: approximately 6.0 • EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 24°C • Substrate temperature: 21°C • CO₂: 636 ppm • Watering: approximately 1.2 L per plant / 24h • Pot size: 15 L Note: the temperature values are recorded exactly as shown in this week's GrowDiaries data. Consistency continues to be one of the most important parts of this experiment. The environment stays consistent. The feeding stays consistent. The plants don't. And that's exactly what we're here to observe. 📷 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs really tell her story. The wider shots show a plant that has become incredibly dense and compact, with foliage filling almost every available space. The closer photographs reveal something even more interesting. Behind that wall of leaves are flowering sites developing throughout the plant. The pistils are fresh. The flowers are forming. And the resin production is already becoming visible across the developing structures and surrounding sugar leaves. She's not trying to be her sister. She's not trying to be the tallest. She's not trying to follow the same path. She's simply being Purple Haze Pheno B. And I think that's beautiful. 🔮 Looking Ahead – Time to Let Her Shine Next week may be an important little turning point for this girl. After allowing her to develop naturally for so long, I think she's finally reaching the point where a selective defoliation will benefit the structure she's created. I'll be looking for the leaves that are doing more blocking than contributing. I'll open some of the interior. I'll improve airflow. I'll give those developing flowers a little more breathing room. But I won't take away her personality. That bushy structure is part of what makes this phenotype interesting. The goal isn't to turn her into her sister. The goal is to help this phenotype become the best version of herself. And I have a feeling that once we open her up a little... She's going to surprise us. 💜 Different Doesn't Mean Less One of the biggest lessons from this 8×8 Adventure continues to be that there isn't just one definition of a great plant. Purple Haze Pheno A and Purple Haze Pheno B may share the same genetics. They may share the same room. They may share the same nutrients, lights, irrigation and environmental conditions. But they're telling different stories. And that's exactly what makes phenotype hunting so fascinating. Pheno B has chosen a different path. She's compact. She's dense. She's incredibly lush. She's building her own little world instead of reaching for the ceiling. And honestly? I'm loving her for it. 💜 Every phenotype deserves the opportunity to shine in its own way. And next week, when we carefully open this beautiful bush and give those flowers a little more room to breathe... I think we're going to see just how much potential has been hiding underneath all that green. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure. This project continues to remind me that growing isn't about forcing plants to become identical. It's about creating the right conditions... Then stepping back and watching genetics tell its story. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for providing the platform where growers from around the world can document, share and learn together. 🌱 Zamnesia — for the Purple Haze genetics that are giving us these fascinating phenotype differences to explore. 💜 Plagron — for supplying the nutrition supporting the plants throughout this journey. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for providing the lighting powering this project. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the stable environment shared by all twelve phenotypes. ✨ Lumiflora — for bringing the under-canopy lighting into this experiment and giving us another variable to observe. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions and enjoying this adventure with me. Last week, I thought these two Purple Haze sisters were following almost the same blueprint. This week, Pheno B looked at that blueprint and apparently said: "Nah... I'm doing my own thing." 😂💜 And you know what? That's exactly what I wanted to see. Different phenotype. Different rhythm. Different story. Same beautiful genetics. Growers Love! 💜🌿

TGL HADOUKEN at 80%

Amazing to mix with water pH and EC easy to reach the desired point

So liebe grower, 20 Wochen voller Spannung sind für mich ins Land gezogen und ich muss sagen ich bin begeistert von dieser Sorte, das Wachstum verlief gut und sie hat sich fast garnicht für mein topping und lst Interessiert und einfach weiter gemacht mit ihrem Wachstum. In der blüte gab es dann ein paar Probleme mit Überdüngung die ich verursacht habe was mich sicherlich Ertrag gekostet hat aber dank der fleißigen Helfer hier auf Grow diaries war das Problem schnell gelöst und der Schaden minimal gehalten danke schon mal an euch ihr seid die besten. Aber ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön möchte ich an Mrs Larimar richten da er/sie mir bei einigen Fragen geholfen hat und eigendlich immer gleich zur Stelle war wenn was mit meinen Ladys war, also danke Mrs Larimar du hast 1000 likes verdient für deine Arbeit die du hier auf Grow diaries leistest. Zum eigendlich en Ergebnis zurück gelato 41#1 hatt 374,94 gramm abgeworfen, gelato 41#2 hatt 361,01 gramm her gegeben, gelato 41#3 satte 370,37 gramm und zu guter letzt gelato 41 #4 330,29 gramm sind insgesamt 1436,61 gramm nass Gewicht. Ich bin mehr als zufrieden mit dem Ergebniss und finde das gelato 41 ein guter produktiver Cannabis stamm ist. Zu dem Wachstum der Knospen im allgemeinen kann ich sagen das bei 4 Ladys 3 verschiedene Profile raus kamen gelato 41 #1 und #4 haben eher längliche colas entwickelt die relativ fest sind gelato 41 #2 hat eher tennis Bälle produziert die echt hart wie holzbälle sind und gelato 41 #3 war ne Mischung aus den beiden. Zum Geruch der sich über die gesammte blüte immer wieder verändert hat es fing an mit zitrus Noten die dann gepaart wurden mit so nem cremigen touch dann kam ein hauch von Minze hinzu und ganz am Ende Rochen die Ladys nach cremigen sauerlichen Beeren mit leichtem Zitronen Duft der gepaart mit cremiger minz Note einher geht einfach nur lecker im Duft. Trocken Gewicht werde ich updaten wenn die Ladys in die Gläser gehen und Rauch Bericht nr.1 folgt dann ca 14 Tage später und Rauch Bericht Nr2 weitere 14 Tage später, euch allen noch einen wunder schönen Grow mit reichlich ernte und bis zum nächsten Bericht cu........

🗓️ Week 17: 3/23 - 3/29 📆 Week 7 of 12/12 🌄 The plant is starting to go into senescence and presenting some beautiful colors as she begins to fade. 💡 Received new lighting courtesy of Growers Choice. They sent me the ROI-E420 with the Master Controller. First impression is amazing. Looks and feels like very high quality build. The spectrum seems more blue than the 3000k lm301H Kingbrite bars I have been using. The bars are thinner and packed with a lot of diodes, so they do run a little hotter than the KB at full power. I adjusted and now running them at 90%. For now the Kingbrite bars are being used as side lighting dimmed to about 30-35% depending on Grow room temps.

I will be introducing nutrients this week and giving first dose of microbes and nitrogen

Z-Up is looking healthy and about to start stretching soon🌿 Doing some daily defoliation just 2–3 leaves a day to let the lower parts get more light☀️

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo. No veas que pinta que tienen estas plantas. No son grandes pero si están bien gordas. No soy de plantar autoflorecientes pero e de comentar que con este cultivo e hasta disfrutado. Pronto la cataremos 💨💨💨. Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.

A couple of weeks until we are done 😁🔥

Day 43 - July 23 The buds are swelling little by little, nothing to report

It's harvest time and it was a great run! Nice genetics by Barneys Farm as usual! I already smoked the Runtz Muffin and boy this stuff is powerful! Nice hybrid buzz with a sedating effect. My face felt numb after the first 5 puffs really great for pain relief! I was high as fuck but still abled to get stuff done but I would recommend for more experienced smokers! Really nice taste already even though I did not cure the sample at all. Sweet, fruity on the inhale and earthy dough-like flavour on the exhale. I'm gonna do a harvest conclusion soon.

31 Aug. I start the third week of my autoflower. The plant is growing well, but I noticed small yellow spots on the leaf tips, which seem like a mild calcium deficiency. This is probably due to the fact that so far I have been giving water with a slightly low pH, around 6, while the ideal range would be 6.5–7. At the beginning, to lower the ppm of the tap water (which was around 211 ppm), I mixed it with demineralized water. This brought the ppm down to about 109–140, making it harder for the plant to absorb the available calcium. Additionally, the soil I am using, Biobizz Light Mix, is lightly fertilized but does not contain enough calcium to correct this small initial deficiency. For this week, I will not add any fertilizers. I simply want to raise the pH to 6.5 and use water with higher ppm, so the plant can better absorb the nutrients already present in the soil. The lamp is positioned about 35–36 cm from the plant and so far there are no burn issues. Temperatures range between 25 and 30 °C depending on the day, while humidity in the room stays between 40–60%. The humidifier is always on because I keep the window open, but the dehumidifier is not being used, as it is not necessary at the moment. I also have a new oscillating fan arriving to replace the current fixed one, and I’m waiting for a regulable extractor (90–145 m³/h), which will allow me to control the air perfectly during winter if needed. This week my main goals are: Increase the water ppm without overdoing it Adjust the pH to 6.5 Keep observing the plant without adding any fertilizers Everything else seems fine and growth is regular. With these corrections, I expect the new leaves to grow healthy and free of spots. ==UPDATE 31/08== To control the calcium deficiency, I will administer an eggshell solution until I reach 300 ppm (I will boil some eggshells and administer the solution in tap water).
