Week 2 - Vegetation | Purple Haze Pheno B
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from the 12/12 From Seed adventure.
This week we turn our attention to Purple Haze Pheno B, the younger sister of the two Purple Haze phenotypes currently growing in the tent.
While Pheno A has begun establishing a noticeable lead in overall development, Pheno B continues progressing steadily and confidently at her own pace. The difference between the two plants is becoming increasingly visible, but it is important to remember that they are not developing under exactly the same circumstances. A small age gap combined with additional time spent in a smaller starter container can make a surprisingly large difference during these early stages of growth.
Despite being slightly behind in overall size, Pheno B is showing all the signs of a healthy and successful start.
This week the plant continued building structure and is now working on her second pair of true leaves. Growth remains steady and consistent, with new development appearing every day. The leaves display a healthy green coloration, and the plant maintains a compact profile with good spacing between growth points.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of documenting multiple phenotypes is seeing how differently each individual expresses itself, even when grown under identical environmental conditions. While Pheno A seems eager to race ahead, Pheno B appears content taking a slightly more measured approach. Neither strategy is necessarily better than the other. At this stage, health and steady progression matter far more than size alone.
The transplant from last week appears to have been accepted successfully, and the plant is now focusing energy on both root establishment and above-ground growth. As the root system continues expanding into the larger volume of substrate, we expect growth rates to increase naturally over the coming weeks.
The overall structure remains neat and symmetrical, and the plant presents itself with healthy posture throughout the day. There are no major concerns at this stage, only the quiet and steady development that often lays the foundation for strong future performance.
One of the most valuable lessons in cultivation is learning not to compare every plant against its neighbors. Sometimes the fastest plant in Week 2 is not the most impressive plant at harvest, and sometimes the quieter, slower starter surprises everyone later in the run. For now, Pheno B is doing exactly what she should be doingβgrowing healthy, building roots, and preparing for the next phase of development.
Overall, this has been another positive week for Purple Haze Pheno B. She may be the smaller sister for now, but she remains healthy, vibrant, and full of potential.
