💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 7 | Strong Genetics, Beautiful Consistency Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the most rewarding aspects of documenting every individual phenotype is seeing just how differently sisters can express the very same genetics. Some stretch a little more. Some flower a little faster. Some develop slightly different branching patterns. Yet every now and then, you find two sisters that seem to be following almost the same blueprint. That's exactly what has happened with Purple Haze Pheno B. She may not be quite as tall as her sister, but looking at them side by side, it's impossible not to appreciate how similar they are. Strong structure. Beautiful colour. Healthy foliage. Balanced branching. To me, that's a wonderful sign of stable, well-selected genetics. 🌱 One Project. One Environment. Twelve Unique Stories. If this is your first time following the diary, welcome! This entire grow 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 very first day, every seed has received exactly 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 plant receives special treatment. No individual feeding. No different environmental conditions. The only variable inside this room... ...is genetics. Watching those genetics unfold week after week continues to be one of the most enjoyable parts of this entire project. 🌿 Healthy Plants Build Great Harvests Purple Haze Pheno B continues to impress me with her overall health. She carries herself with confidence. Her leaves are broad, vibrant and beautifully green. Every branch feels sturdy. The canopy remains nicely balanced without becoming overcrowded. She may not be the largest plant in the room, but she's certainly far from the smallest. Instead, she's developing into a wonderfully proportioned plant that seems perfectly comfortable in her environment. Sometimes growers become too focused on height. Personally, I care much more about overall health. Healthy roots. Healthy leaves. Healthy branches. Everything else is built on that foundation. And this lady is giving me every reason to smile. 🌸 The Flowers Continue Their Journey Week 7 marks another important step in her flowering development. Across every growing tip, fresh white pistils continue emerging from small clusters of calyxes. Those white hairs, known as pistils, are the female reproductive organs of the flower. Outdoors they exist to capture pollen. Inside the grow room they become one of the clearest signs that flowering is progressing exactly as nature intended. Beneath those pistils sit the calyxes. Each tiny calyx is one of the individual building blocks that eventually forms the finished flower. As the coming weeks unfold, more calyxes will develop, stack together and gradually swell, transforming these delicate flowering sites into the dense, resin-coated colas we're all hoping to see. The foundation she's building now will determine the harvest she'll produce later. 🍃 Gentle Training, Natural Development One thing I've continued throughout this grow is allowing the plant to keep as many healthy leaves as possible. Rather than aggressively defoliating, I've relied mostly on careful leaf tucking to expose developing bud sites while allowing the plant to keep producing energy naturally. Healthy fan leaves are incredibly valuable. They're responsible for capturing light and converting it into the energy needed to build flowers. When the canopy already has excellent airflow and good light penetration, there's often little reason to remove perfectly healthy foliage. Sometimes the smartest thing we can do as growers is simply let the plant do what it evolved to do. 💧 Feeding for Flower Development As flowering progresses, nutritional demands naturally begin shifting toward flower production. This week's feeding schedule includes: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L Provides the phosphorus and potassium needed to support healthy flower development and continued growth. • Power Buds – 1 ml/L Helps encourage the plant to transition its energy toward producing more flowering sites. • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L A bloom enhancer designed to support flower density, resin production and overall plant performance during the later stages of flowering. • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L Supports the plant's natural production of sugars and aromatic compounds that contribute to flavour and terpene development. • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L Contains enzymes that help break down dead root material, keeping the root zone healthy and improving nutrient availability. • pH adjustment using pH Plus and Lemon Kick Maintaining the correct pH ensures nutrients remain available for efficient uptake throughout the flowering cycle. Every plant in the room receives this exact same feeding schedule, allowing each phenotype to respond according to its own genetics. 💡 Lumiflora Under-Canopy Lighting Another exciting part of this project continues to be the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting. Traditional grow lights naturally favour the upper canopy, leaving lower flowering sites with much less usable light once plants become dense. Under-canopy lighting helps reduce that imbalance. Its goal isn't to replace the main fixture. It isn't a miracle product that suddenly doubles yields overnight. Instead, it provides additional light to the lower parts of the plant, helping secondary flowering sites remain productive while reducing the need for excessive defoliation. As the flowers continue developing over the coming weeks, I'm looking forward to seeing just how much difference this extra layer of illumination makes. 🌡️ A Stable Environment Makes Everything Easier Like every plant in this room, Purple Haze Pheno B continues benefiting from stable environmental conditions. Current grow room conditions include: • Flower Week 7 • Height: 100 cm • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 24°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Stable conditions allow the plants to dedicate their energy toward growing flowers instead of constantly adapting to environmental changes. Consistency truly is one of the biggest advantages a grower can provide. 📷 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs capture a phenotype that looks wonderfully comfortable in her environment. The close-up images highlight healthy clusters of fresh white pistils emerging from every flowering site, while the wider photographs showcase her balanced branching and exceptionally healthy foliage. Comparing her with her sister has been fascinating. They're clearly individuals. Yet they're also remarkably similar, which speaks volumes about the quality and stability of the Purple Haze genetics from Zamnesia. Sometimes consistency is every bit as exciting as dramatic variation. 🔮 Looking Ahead During the coming week I expect flowering to continue accelerating. The stretch should gradually begin slowing, while the calyxes continue stacking and the first real signs of bud bulk begin appearing. I'm also excited to continue observing the effect of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting as the canopy fills out and lower flowering sites receive additional illumination. If she continues growing the way she has so far, I expect another week of calm, healthy progress rather than explosive change. And honestly... I'm perfectly happy with that. Healthy plants don't need to rush. They simply keep improving one day at a time. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Projects like this remind me every single week that growing isn't about forcing plants to become identical. It's about giving every phenotype the same opportunity and appreciating the unique story each one chooses to tell. Purple Haze Pheno B continues proving that healthy, balanced growth is something worth celebrating all on its own. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can document their journeys, learn from one another and build this incredible community. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the outstanding Purple Haze genetics behind this phenotype hunt. 💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light powering this entire project. 🌿 TrolMaster for maintaining the stable environment that allows every phenotype to perform at its very best. ✨ Lumiflora for bringing an exciting new dimension to this grow through their innovative under-canopy lighting technology.

Wow look at her flowers!!!!!!! She is bushy as hell!!!! I do not know what phenotype this is but there is absolutely no purple either 😞 Still, she is she bushiest plant I've grown in a long long time. Quite impressive!!! 😎💪

Defoliación leve🍀👨‍🌾🏻

Trotz Fehler wird getrocknetes Material gut denke ich. Wird jetzt ca. 2 Wochen bei 60% RH und ca. 17 grad Celsius trocknen

Week 15 still white pistils some turn brown cant wait to cut it down Fed ripen for 2 days now

Day 43-49 A lot of them are showing signs of going into bloom. Doing their stretch before bloom, so they need more nitrogen before they're done stretching. My own unbiased opinions about deep water culture.I love it.It's got the precision I need and control. If you like something more relaxed, living soil is your thing, but this is mine.I'm enjoying it.Everything's growing people have already done the research.I just gotta apply it.

Absolutely an amazing run each plant had its own unique trait that I loved cannot wait to see All the testers released and Thriving in everybody’s garden Fastbuds really has outdone themselves Don’t think you can get much better than this some of the most dense dankest nugs I’ve ever grown🔥💯

SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY TRANSPLANT #3 THIS WEEK!!!! Big week, did the last transplant of the grow before she enters flower. I decided to skip out on the 3gal and upgraded to a 4.97 or 5gal container. The plastic is cheep and looks like it was going to break but its all the grow store had in stock at the time. Was talking to them about going from a 2gal to 3gal and how it did not do much for the plant but stress it out. They also gave me a free sample of a bokashi fertilizer, I divided that in between the two plants. It looks identical to the regular non fertilizer branded bokashi, and I feel its the same but with a mist of NPK on it or something. Plants are doing well, Dynomyco had a slighter bigger root ball upon transplant and the plant its self is a tiny bit more robust. Given all the other soil boosters and microorganisms I have added into this, I don't feel I will see the true potential of just Dynomyco vs soil nothing else added. I just can't not add the others as it feel like a massive step backwards and end of day a big healthy plant is worth it. This diary may not have massive contrast in favour of Dynomyco but I will still use it none the less and I think its helps plus its not over just yet. Would love to hear what y'all think about this, hit me up in the comments and I'd try and get back to yea as fast as I can. I like how the dead Blue Cindy plant looks like a biophage, sifi like alien thing. SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY This is my diary entry into the Dynomyco Show Us What You Got Contest! #DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! @DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! @Dynomyco Big Shoutout to @Dynomyco for picking me in their contest. Happy to be involved and as a user of Dynomyco I am curious to see this side by side with my own eyes. I will be honest I am a little skeptical it will show any major differences. but we will see what happens. Some disclaimers, I am still using LABS serum I made, This is also beneficial to the root mass however it's a bacteria based product and not fungal or mycorrhizae like Dynomyco. https://growdiaries.com/giveaways/DYNOMYCO_Show_Us_What_You_Got

and another week has passed. she is developing very well. she tolerated the FIMing very well and she is getting really bushy. i have changed the fertiliser from biobizz-grow to biobizz-fishmix.

This is the 8th week. Thursday will be 9 weeks of 12/12. Some trichs are amber. They just added a good bunch of girth over the past few days, but most of the pistils are red now. The rest of them have been dropping leaves consistenly but the canopy remains full so they must be putting out more leaves. I just flushed to 80% runoff and found out that I had 1200ppm. I just got an ec meter but my last reading said closer to 600 so idk what happened there. I flushed until I had runoff ppm of about 150. Now they're back in the grow tent. I don't want to keep assaulting them with my microscope. I think they're ready. Just gonna let them settle another day or two to dry out a bit. I took one small branch off the small Wedding Cake plant on Thursday and I've just been watching it dry on my counter. It's been 5 days and the stem snaps but still leaves a fiber connecting. I put it into a small jar with a 64RH thing. I just want to try it. It already smells amazing. The leaves on the big CBD Blue Shark plant are going really yellow and some other colours are starting to come out as well. The buds all fattened up and got more frosty again. I was worried they were foxtailing but they got more calyxes underneath the peaks and have been making more of a pyramid shape. They're really close to peak. Harvest day will be March 17 or 18. March 17 1023pm chopped and hung after lights off all day. RH was 65% before I chopped and 50% after I closed the window and cut the plants off the saturated pots. I did a wet trim to prevent mold. The buds are sticky af. Gonna hang them to dry for 7-9 days before curing in jars :) March 18 : checked the RH when I woke up and it's chilling at 45% 😎 March 19 : just checked to see how they were drying. There are seeds in every plant. RIP I'll update when I put them in jars and again a few weeks later for final review. Overall it was a good grow despite the rocky start and a good introduction to the mainline technique and my new grow space. Next grow I should have everything pretty well dialed in. March 23 They were hanging for 3 days. Rh was around 45, then spiked to 65 overnight when I forgot to turn the fans back on. Temp was high at around 26.they felt wet after 2 days, and bone dry after 4 days. The stems still didn't snap but I put them in jars anyway. A day later, jar RH was 50%. I burped all the jars and there was a smell from the new jars. I took all the weed out, washed out the jars, and did a dry trim on the weed. One of the Wedding Cake plants must have gone hermie. I didn't see any bananas and didn't even realize there were seeds until the very end. The seed pods looked just like calyxes while the plants were growing. Many of the nugs are unusable. Under the sugar leaves are just layers and layers of seeds. Some weren't hit that badly. The CBD Blue Shark is much better off but still has some seeds. I'm trying to stay positive. It's a bit of a shock though. I'm anxious to try the finished product. If the flowers at least taste good and have a good effect, all is not lost.

Very strong strain. Plants are identical in growth...and plant structure looking forward to this one.. More training due day 2-3, during next watering

Girls are stacking nicely ❤️ The one is a bit more finicky than the rest, she is showing signs of nutrient lockout/ ph , but should be easily corrected if I’ve diagnosed it properly. I ended up calibrating by ph pen and I was off by .15 on the scale, might not seem like a lot, but in flower it can be! Shouldn’t set us back too much 🇨🇦👊❤️

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Exotic Seed, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Come sempre partiamo nei bicchieri per poi travasare.. Questa volta verrà svolto tutto sotto la Lumatek Zeus 465 ProC, mi aspetto molto da questo ciclo!! Settimana WOW mi h davvero sorpreso la crescita di questa piccola!!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

Grow diary 11 stage 7 Day 61-70 She has had to fend for herself most of the last 9 days. When I got back I was hoping she would be in flower. 70 days in and not in flower so she has fucked up my schedule a bit. But on the plus side she going to have a bigger harvest from the extra veg time.
