Day 49 This plant looks healthier compared to the last one, but it’s still showing clear signs of stress. The leaves are drooping heavily, with some lower leaves already yellowing and fading. The overall color is a lighter green than ideal, which suggests either ongoing watering stress or nutrient uptake issues. The structure is more compact, with tighter node spacing, but the canopy lacks vigor. Growth has slowed noticeably, and the plant doesn’t have the strong, upright energy you’d expect at this stage. It feels like it’s been set back by previous stress and is now just holding on. Watering remains the most critical factor — the droop strongly hints at overwatering being the main issue. Letting the medium dry out more thoroughly before the next watering is key, and I’ll continue to be very cautious with how much water it receives at once.

🌱 Blütetag 38 | Tag 98 gesamt Klima – VPD Achterbahn Wieder eine unruhige Woche draußen. Mildes Regenwetter mit hoher Luftfeuchte → dann wieder kalt → dann wieder milder. Typisches Hin und Her. Die Pflanzen müssen ständig Transpiration und Nährstofffluss nachjustieren. Konstantere Bedingungen würden es ihnen leichter machen – aber sie arbeiten sich so durch. 🌿 Pflanzenstatus White Gushers 33 Diese Woche zeigt sie etwas mehr Sensibilität. An exponierten Trieben sind Klimaspuren sichtbar – kleine Nekrosen und leichte Transportanzeichen. Nichts Kritisches, aber erkennbar, dass sie die Schwankungen spürt. Trotzdem baut sie weiter auf. Blüten stapeln sich, die Harzproduktion nimmt zu und das fruchtige Aroma wird von Tag zu Tag intensiver. Triangle Sherbet Kush Deutlich die ruhigere im Zelt. Sie geht gelassener mit den Schwankungen um und wirkt insgesamt stabiler. Auch hier kleine Spuren, aber weniger ausgeprägt. Die Blütenstruktur wird kompakter, das Stacking läuft sauber, und aromatisch wird sie zunehmend runder. 🌸 Blütenentwicklung & Aroma Beide Strains legen gut zu. Mehr Dichte. Mehr Harz. Mehr Charakter. Beim Öffnen des Zeltes kommt inzwischen direkt ein wahrnehmbarer, fruchtiger Duft entgegen. Wir sind klar in der Mitte der Blüte angekommen. 💧 Nährstoffe Konstant gehalten: CalMag: 1,5 ml/L Bloom: 1 ml/L Einfach, stabil, ohne größere Änderungen. 🐞 IPM / Biologischer Pflanzenschutz Das biologische Team arbeitet weiter: Florfliegenlarven Raubmilben Gelbtafeln zur Kontrolle Ein leichter Rückgang der Trips ist erkennbar, aber sie bleiben hartnäckig. Kein akuter Druck – eher ein laufender Prozess. 🔎 Ausblick Insgesamt bin ich zufrieden mit dem Stand. Das Klima dürfte ruhiger sein, aber Blütenentwicklung und Aroma gehen klar in die richtige Richtung. In der kommenden Woche plane ich eine leichte, gezielte Entlaubung (etwa 2-3 Wochen nach dem ersten Durchgang), um Licht und Luft für die letzten Wochen optimal zu führen. Ich rechne mit etwa vier weiteren Wochen bis zur sauberen Ausreifung. Toll, dass hier viele mitlesen, Input geben und Erfahrungen teilen – genau das macht so einen Run spannend. Achterbahn-Woche. Blüten bauen trotzdem. Danke fürs Mitfahren. — Rocko 🌿🔥💚 🌱 Flower Day 38 | Day 98 Overall Climate – VPD Rollercoaster Another unstable week outside. Mild rain with high humidity → then cold → then mild again. Classic back-and-forth weather. The plants constantly have to readjust transpiration and internal nutrient flow. More stable conditions would definitely make things easier for them — but they’re pushing through. 🌿 Plant Status White Gushers 33 She shows a bit more sensitivity this week. On exposed tops, climate marks are visible — small necrotic spots and light transport signs. Nothing critical, but clearly showing she feels the swings. Still, she keeps building. Bud stacking continues, resin production is increasing, and the fruity aroma grows stronger day by day. Triangle Sherbet Kush Clearly the calmer one in the tent. She handles the fluctuations more gracefully and appears more stable overall. Minor signs here as well, but less pronounced. Bud structure is tightening up nicely, stacking remains solid, and the aroma is becoming rounder and richer. 🌸 Bud Development & Aroma Both strains are progressing well. More density. More resin. More character. Opening the tent now immediately releases a noticeable fruity scent. We’re clearly in mid-flower mode. 💧 Feeding Kept consistent: CalMag: 1.5 ml/L Bloom: 1 ml/L Simple, stable, no major adjustments. 🐞 IPM / Biological Control The biological crew is still at work: Lacewing larvae Predatory mites Sticky traps for monitoring A slight reduction in thrips is noticeable, but they remain persistent. No major pressure — just an ongoing balancing process. 🔎 Outlook Overall, I’m happy with where we stand. The climate could be smoother, but bud development and aroma are clearly moving in the right direction. Next week I’m planning a light, selective defoliation (about 2-3 weeks after the first round) to optimize airflow and light penetration for the final weeks. I’m expecting around four more weeks until proper maturation. Great to see so many people following along, sharing input and experience — that’s what makes a run like this even better. Rollercoaster week. Buds keep building. Thanks for riding along. — Rocko 🌿🔥💚

Have got the soil good ph i am pretty sure. I have got good growth out of the last week and few inches and some fan leafs and they look just barley burned and they are way happy standing up so I am thinking (fingers crossed) that I have got it under control. Going to do a trim and take some clones in the next week. Then a train for a couple weeks and put her in in flower tent get used to that light and flower her see what I get. Still just doing declorinated water at 6.5 let the soil do her job. Stay tuned

week 5-6 going well

Limited success with LST, but still most likely helped to boost yield. Grew without problems indoors in soil. This pheno had good yield and bud quality, and didn’t stretch too much given it was a sativa-heavy genotype

I flushed the pots once this week. And use once with enhancer and a very small dose of shrot flowering fertilizer. And I tried very hard to lower the humidity and make the daytime temperature not more than 25 degrees 💐🛸👽💥1

Noyce, ok so we on track now but still not see that truly vigorous growth. I'm doing my best to move her under the deck when it rains to not dilute the nutes too much with rain water but i feel something is off a little. the leaves seem a little dark and a like hmmmmm a little to rigid or thick, not that nice lime green the whole way throuhgout you like to see with rapid growth. maybe the ph or mayb a slight nitrogen toxicity or possibly the combination of the two. So today i have her less of the growth nute and upped the cal meg slightly with a higher ph around 6.35 to see if i see some postive effects from this. I'm wondering if anyone has anytips on watering and such for outdoor girls in pots? still optimistic i'll get enough flower to achieve my main goal. to get high affffff watching pineapple express while smoking it. which im sure everyone does hahahha i can see the lady parts just coming out now where as the ones in the tent are about a week into flower

The first plant I harvested on 23/09/22 day 72, she faded out in lovely reds, purples and almost black fan leaves. She was coated in glistening frost all over and smelt like petrol/fuel with a subtle grapey fruit after twang. I dried her at 60%RH - 18*c for around 9/10 days before putting into a jar. I’ve been burping her for a week now and she smells fantastic. I’ll post some bud pics when both plants are dry. Plant two I harvested on 09/10/22, she was 88 days old and her buds were firm, but not solid. Forgot to take some pre harvest photos so instead I took a quick video of the main cola. Her buds leave a layer of sticky grease all over your fingers, and the smell is to die for. She’s currently drying in the same conditions as the previous plant. Both plants were grown in less than adequate pots as testers, but grew easily and appeared to thrive throughout. Neither got any sort of training as I wanted to see what kind of natural structure would occur. Il do an update with pictures of both plants once they are cured. I highly recommend giving these seeds a go if you’ve got the space! If you haven’t tried Mephisto Genetics yet I recommend you give them a go, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. 🌱💚

Week 5

Heute morgen sieht die Pflanze sehr gut aus Wurzeln Zuwachs und die Blätter sind straff nach oben gestellt, habe zusätzlich noch etwas Silizium hinzufügt. Top 🌱🔨 Nice Day allen!

As per usual this plant tells me it needs watering by looking limp, it doesn't mean the pots are dry it just means its demanding more water. We're gunna need a bigger tent!

29.3.25: This week has flown by. Everything is looking good. I've been watering alternatively with Bud Explosion PK booster and Sea K(elp) by Greenleaf nutrients. Also, plain water I'm between feeding. I watered yesterday and had run off from 2 pots, so I will wait for them to dry out sufficiently before watering again. Trying to mitigate the risks of mildew and / or mould due to too much water / humidity. 31.3.25: I cleaned out the tent and disinfected it again. Had a bit of runoff, which had left a bit of residue on the floor. Today, I took all the photos and videos whilst cleaning the tent. The pots had sufficiently dried, so I will water with the Greenleaf nutrients. I watered with dechlorinated water PH'd between 6.2-6.4. 6.5 litres contained the following nutrients: ♡ 1/4 Tsp Mega Crop Part A. ♡ 1/2 Tsp Bud Explosion PK booster ♡ 1/4 Tsp Sea K(elp). (All by Greenleaf nutrients). Thanks for hanging out 🍃 ✌️ 💚 🙂

***Sponsored Grow*** = Medic || https://medicgrow.com || Grow = ***Sponsored Grow*** Ok big update this week, I finally edited the footage of the lights and got their unboxing photos processed, this took way longer then expected and should have been done on germination or week 1 entry but better late then never. You can really see how the lights shine in comparison to my older ones. The brightness of the leds is next level and I can use their V1 spectrum from seed to harvest. Its a great balance of red and blue in a full spectrum light. The medic grow mini sun 2 is a all purpose light that I can see myself getting lots of use out of in the future. Plus they fit in my tent just as snug as my last ones and that's a big thing for me, I don't like dim corners. I am using the lights at 80% dim level. this will be raised to 100% when they enter flower :D First time useing lights I can dim. they also have an onboard timer attached to them, I will be playing aorund with this to see if its something I want to use in the coming weeks, I all ready have all the external timers so I can see how this is a useful tool for anyone starting off without them. On top of all this I also transplanted my plants into their final pots. they went from a .7-.8L to a 2gal or 7.5L, all the root balls on the plants where perfect, nice white roots, maybe a bit compacted for the size and might explain why I am having some issues with them but healthy none the less. I think they will not start to grow a bit better and I will see less issues moving forward. I still have yet to get a new PH pen but I am blindly guessing the PH by adding 2 drops of phosphoric acid ph down per 1gal of feed solution. it seems to be working out just fine. Till next week. ***Sponsored Grow*** Official Website: https://medicgrow.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/medicgrowled Twitter: https://twitter.com/medicgrow Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicgrow420/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNmiY4F9z94u-8eGj7R1CSQ Growdiaries: https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow

My apologies on never giving a smoke report. I ran into a situation where I had 2 weeks to move across country. I don't like to include untrue data to my expectation/ perceptions.

High Level From Eva Seeds 11th week of Veg 30th December 2019 Fark these girls look so good with their thin sativa leaves and overall health. I'm really getting excited about this grow as I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's a very faint light but a light never the less. There is still about six weeks to go until it will start flowering so I'll spend that time making sure both plants get everything they need nutrient wise plus lots of love and care from me. Plant number 2 will need to be transplanted into a larger pot this week as it's getting to that point where the other plant was when I transplanted her. Thankyou all so much for reading my Diary please leave a like if you enjoyed the read and the pics etc. I'll be back next Year in 2020 with another update until then stay lit 👍

Starting week 6 after a nutrient lockout during week 5. They look better now after a little flush. I stopped the pot to dip in water by putting small stones under. Buds are a week away from slightly lowering temps. I struggle to keep humidity stable after watering. Very proud I fixed the issue with nutrients, as it remains the hardest part for a first grow. Experience is key to analyse and solve problems. Looking forward

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 9 | The Frosty Little Bush Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 Well... I think we can officially stop asking what kind of plant Purple Haze Pheno B wants to be. She's made her decision. She's a bush. 😂💜 And she's a beautiful one. While her sister has taken a completely different path, Pheno B continues to build herself outward, staying compact, dense and beautifully full. But something has changed this week. The flowers are starting to get seriously frosty. And that's where this girl is becoming particularly interesting. Because although she's still unmistakably the little bush of the Purple Haze family... she's starting to show us another side of herself. 🌿 Still the Bush If you've been following this phenotype from the beginning, you already know her personality. She's compact. She's dense. She's lush. She's not interested in chasing the ceiling. She's perfectly happy building herself outward and filling the space around her. And honestly, I really like it. The more weeks we spend watching the two Purple Haze sisters develop under the same overall environment, the more obvious their differences become. Same genetics. Same room. Same general conditions. Same lighting philosophy. Same feeding strategy. But completely different expressions. Her sister has developed her own architecture. Pheno B has looked at all of that and apparently decided: "No thanks. I'm staying a bush." 😂 And that's exactly what makes this phenotype hunt so fascinating. 💜 Something Is Happening With the Frost The biggest thing catching my attention this week isn't her height. It isn't her structure. We already know those things. It's the frost. The resin production is becoming increasingly visible across the developing flowers, and the change feels much more noticeable compared with where she was only a short time ago. She's starting to sparkle. And she's doing it quickly. That's probably what surprised me most. For a phenotype that has been moving at her own rhythm, the speed at which she's now developing this frosty appearance is really interesting to watch. The flowers are becoming more defined. The sugar leaves are beginning to carry that beautiful crystalline appearance. And suddenly the whole plant has another layer of character. The bush is getting frosty. 💜❄️ 🌸 The Flowers Are Finding Their Identity The flower sites continue developing throughout that compact structure. There's still a lot of green surrounding them, but the flowers themselves are becoming increasingly easy to distinguish. Fresh pistils continue emerging. The calyxes are becoming more noticeable. And now the resin is joining the party. This is one of my favourite stages to document because you can actually see the plant changing from week to week. It's no longer simply: "Here are some flowering sites." It's becoming: "Okay... now we're starting to see what these flowers are going to become." And with Pheno B, that process is happening throughout her little bush. 🍃 Lush, Green & Completely Herself The foliage remains one of the strongest characteristics of this phenotype. She's still carrying that beautiful green colour and an enormous amount of healthy-looking foliage. Even though the flowers are becoming more prominent, the plant hasn't lost her identity. She's still that compact, leafy Purple Haze. Still dense. Still bushy. Still doing things her own way. And that's something I really appreciate about this project. We're not trying to make every phenotype behave identically. We're watching them reveal themselves. Pheno B has already revealed quite a lot. And I'm enjoying every chapter. 👭 Two Sisters, Two Completely Different Stories This comparison is becoming more and more fun. When we first started watching these two Purple Haze phenotypes, there were plenty of similarities. Now? Not so much. 😂 Pheno A: elegant, balanced, beautifully proportioned. Pheno B: compact, dense, bushy and increasingly frosty. Same genetic name. Different architecture. Different personality. Different expression. And that's exactly what phenotype hunting is all about. If anything, the longer this run continues, the more convinced I become that growing multiple plants from the same genetic line is incredibly valuable. You don't just get a plant. You get a conversation between genetics and environment. And these two sisters are having a very interesting conversation. 💡 Light From Above & Below The lighting ecosystem continues to support the entire room as the plants move deeper into flowering. With Pheno B's compact structure, it's particularly interesting to watch how the flowers develop throughout the dense architecture rather than simply focusing on the tallest points. The additional lighting within the lower canopy remains part of the experiment, and I'm enjoying documenting how the flowers across different levels of this little bush continue developing. One thing is becoming increasingly obvious: there's a lot happening inside this plant. She's small compared with some of the taller girls. But she's certainly not empty. There's a lot of flower packed into that structure. 💧 Consistency Continues As with the rest of the 8×8 Adventure, Pheno B continues under the same overall flowering nutrition strategy. The current program remains: 🌱 Terra Bloom – 2.2 ml/L 🌱 Power Buds – 1 ml/L 🌱 Green Sensation – 1 ml/L 🌱 Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment products as required The nutrient solution remains around EC 2.0 mS/cm, with pH around 6.0. No special recipe. No special treatment. She's simply responding in her own way. And that's the part I find most interesting. 🌡️ The Environment The current recorded conditions for Week 9 are: 🌸 Flower Week: 9 📏 Height: 111 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 20°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 💦 Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 636 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💧 Watering: approximately 1.2 L per plant / 24h The room continues providing the same overall ecosystem, while each phenotype continues interpreting it differently. And Pheno B? She's interpreting it as: "Build a bush. Then cover it in frost." 😂💜 📸 The Camera Loves This Girl This is another phenotype that rewards getting close. From a distance, you see the bush. You see the structure. You see the density. But move closer... And suddenly everything changes. You start seeing the individual flowers. The white pistils. The developing calyxes. The sugar leaves. And now, increasingly, those beautiful resin-covered surfaces. That's what makes documenting this project so enjoyable. A plant can look completely different depending on how closely you observe it. The wide photograph tells one story. The flower photograph tells another. And the macro tells you there's an entire universe happening inside that little flower. Purple Haze Pheno B is giving us plenty to photograph. 🔮 Looking Ahead And now I'm genuinely curious about the next chapter. Because I think we're reaching an interesting point with this girl. She's still the bush. She's still compact. She's still completely different from her sister. But the flowers are changing. The frost is increasing. The structure is becoming more defined. And her development seems to be accelerating compared with what we've seen from her previously. So I'm going to keep watching. Keep documenting. Keep photographing. And most importantly... let her continue being herself. Because whatever she decides to become, she clearly isn't interested in following anybody else's blueprint. 💜 The Frosty Bush Every phenotype in this room has given me something different to appreciate. Some have been challenging. Some have been demanding. Some have been incredibly fast. Some have taken their time. And Purple Haze Pheno B? She's given me the bush. 😂🌿 But now she's adding something new to that identity. She's becoming the frosty bush. 💜❄️ And I have to admit... I like that version even more. She's compact. She's lush. She's beautifully green. She's structurally interesting. Her flowers are developing. And the resin is beginning to become one of her defining characteristics. She doesn't need to become her sister. She doesn't need to become the tallest plant in the room. She doesn't need to change who she is. She just needs to keep being Pheno B. And right now... she's doing that beautifully. 🙏 Thank You Another week, another little piece of the 8×8 Adventure puzzle falls into place. This project continues to show me that genetics can take the exact same environment and turn it into completely different stories. And these Purple Haze sisters are becoming one of my favourite examples. One elegant. One bushy. One beautifully balanced. One increasingly frosty. Two sisters. Two personalities. And two plants I absolutely love watching develop. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries — for giving growers a place to document, share and learn together. 🌱 Zamnesia — for providing the genetics behind this fascinating phenotype hunt. 💜 Plagron — for the nutrition supporting the project. 💡 Future of Grow LED — for the lighting powering the room. 🌿 TrolMaster — for helping maintain the controlled environment behind the scenes. ✨ LumiFlora — for the additional lighting helping us observe flowering throughout the canopy. And, of course, thank you to everyone following along, commenting, asking questions and enjoying this adventure with me. Purple Haze Pheno B may still be the bush. But now she's becoming a frosty bush. 💜❄️🌿 And something tells me... this little girl may have a few more surprises waiting for us. Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. And let's keep letting every phenotype tell her own story. Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💜

Week 5! All those pic are from the same day. First pic is before transplanted in 11 liter pot ( I took off the weakest plant cause just 10 fit in my box) the soil is made of light mix and warm casting but I top dress with: 70/30 of 444 and 284 - 1 Tbsp per gallon Rock dust -1Tbsp per gallon I sprinkle the root ball with mycorrhiza and water with compost the of warm casting and molasses brew for 24 hours. Then I put the scrog net and bend all the plant under it, I use the cropping technique cause most of the plant were quite strong as u can see from the pic. Ps: don’t mind about the sound of the first video I’ve just been unlucky cause they pass in front of my house while I was make the video😂

Second week of flower out the way plants coming on well had a nice stretch over the last two weeks , one week to go before give them a good defoliation, conditions been spot on and haven't had a issue yet so hopefully all stays well till harvest
