💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno B Week 6 | Growing at Her Own Rhythm Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! One of the greatest lessons this project continues teaching me is that plants don't read calendars. They don't know what week we're calling it. They don't compare themselves to the plant growing beside them. They simply follow the instructions written inside their own genetics. Purple Haze Pheno B has become the perfect example of that philosophy. While several of her sisters are rapidly building flowers, this beautiful lady has chosen a much more relaxed pace. She's not behind. She's simply growing at her own rhythm. And she's doing it beautifully. 🌱 The Beauty of the 12/12 Adventure For everyone joining this diary for the first time, welcome! This entire project is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed technique. Every seed was placed directly under a 12-hour light and 12-hour dark cycle from germination, allowing each phenotype to express its natural growth pattern without a traditional vegetative period. Every plant receives exactly the same opportunity. The same lighting. The same nutrition. The same environment. The same temperatures. The same humidity. The same daily attention. The only thing changing... ...is the genetics. And once again, genetics are telling a fascinating story. 🌿 Strength Before Speed Standing at approximately 85 cm, Purple Haze Pheno B has developed into a wonderfully vigorous plant. Her structure is strong. Her branches are sturdy. Her canopy remains full of healthy foliage. Her colour is exactly what every grower hopes to see. Deep green. Lush. Full of life. What makes this phenotype unique isn't what she's doing... It's what she's not doing. Unlike some of the other ladies, she hasn't rushed into explosive flower production. Instead, she continues investing energy into maintaining an incredibly healthy framework that will eventually support whatever comes next. Sometimes nature prefers to build the foundation before decorating the house. 🌸 Flowering... One Step at a Time If I compare this week's photographs with last week's, the difference isn't dramatic. And that's perfectly okay. Fresh pistils continue appearing across the plant. The growing tips are slowly beginning to change shape. Flower sites are forming. But she's progressing at a noticeably gentler pace than many of the other phenotypes in the room. Rather than worrying about that, I find it fascinating. This is exactly why I wanted to document every phenotype separately. Had these plants been growing individually, I might never have appreciated just how differently sisters can develop under identical conditions. Purple Haze Pheno B is reminding me that flowering isn't a race. Every genetic line follows its own timeline. 🍃 A Plant That Simply Looks Happy Sometimes the easiest plants to grow are the ones that ask for very little. This week there were no warning signs. No deficiencies. No excesses. No signs of stress. Just healthy leaves reaching toward the light and steady, consistent development. Leaf tucking has once again been the primary training method, gently opening the canopy without removing valuable fan leaves. This allows better airflow and improved light penetration while preserving the plant's natural ability to produce energy. She's rewarding that gentle approach with vigorous, healthy growth. 💧 Feeding With Patience Just because flowering is progressing slowly doesn't mean the plant needs to be forced. The feeding program continues supporting the transition naturally while allowing the genetics to dictate the pace. Current nutrition includes: • Terra Bloom • Power Buds • Green Sensation • Sugar Royal • Pure Zym • Careful pH adjustment for optimal nutrient uptake Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is resist the temptation to chase faster growth. Healthy plants know what they're doing. Our job is simply to support them. 🌡️ Consistency Builds Confidence Like every phenotype in this project, Purple Haze Pheno B continues benefiting from a carefully controlled environment. Current grow room conditions include: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Solution temperature: 24°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂ concentration: 636 ppm Providing the same stable environment week after week removes unnecessary variables, allowing every phenotype to reveal its own unique character. And this lady certainly has plenty of character. 📷 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs tell a quieter story, but an equally beautiful one. The studio portraits showcase a wonderfully balanced plant with a dense canopy of healthy foliage and exceptional overall vigour. The close-up images reveal fresh white pistils slowly emerging from each growing tip, subtle reminders that flowering is progressing, even if it's happening at a more measured pace. Several photographs highlight the beautifully formed leaves and sturdy branching that have become defining characteristics of this phenotype. Sometimes the biggest changes aren't dramatic. Sometimes they're simply the quiet signs of a healthy plant confidently following its own path. 🔮 Looking Ahead I'm genuinely curious to see what the next few weeks bring. Will she suddenly accelerate and begin stacking flowers rapidly? Or will she continue this calm, methodical approach all the way through bloom? At this stage, either outcome would be exciting. One thing already feels certain. This phenotype refuses to be rushed. She's growing exactly when she's ready. And if experience has taught me anything... It's that patient plants often surprise you later. I'll happily let her write the next chapter in her own time. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Projects like this constantly remind me that growing isn't about trying to make every plant behave the same way. It's about understanding that every phenotype has its own personality, its own rhythm, and its own way of expressing the genetics it carries. Purple Haze Pheno B may be taking the scenic route into flowering... But she's making every step look effortless. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can share knowledge, document their journeys, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the incredible genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting these plants from seed to harvest. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light that powers every day of this adventure. 🌿 TrolMaster for maintaining the stable environment that allows each phenotype to express its true potential. And finally, thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions, and sharing this incredible journey with me. Every week reinforces the same lesson: Great plants don't all grow at the same speed. They simply grow when they're ready. Growers Love... and Purple Haze Pheno B is proving that patience is sometimes the most beautiful phenotype of all. 💜🌿

4/23/25 A few of these plants seem to be longer flowering genetics which is kind of annoying because of the feed schedule. ive been feeding them with the plan of 8-9 weeks flowering and we are starting week 8 it is day 50 since 12/12 and some of the plants are producing quite a bit of pistils with not much bud growth at the moment. But plant #3 is producing some nice chunky golf ball sized buds and is on track with my feeding schedule but some of these other plants might go 10 weeks Top dressed with: 2tsp of microbe charge 3tsp of Bloom

5/18 It's not raining now but it's supposed to later. The plants are protected though. I have brought them out to continue hardening. It's only 57 degrees but they'll be alright. I used what little water was left in the bottom of the gallon to lightly water what looked like it needed it most. I mixed up another gallon and I'll check them again before they go in for the night. These plants are getting hardened off properly. I've had some pretty serious problems when I try to transition to quickly. I don't see ANY problems (knock on wood) thus far. Pink kush reminds me of purple punch. It grows similarly and starts off slow. I hope it turns the corner like the purple punch did and make up for it with the quality of flower. I topped/fimmed a special kush #1. I'll update when I bring them in for the night. This week I'll clean/sanitize the cage and the grow bags. EDIT: PLANTS SPENT A LITTLE OVER 3 HOURS IN THE LEAN-TO WITH INDIRECT SUNLIGHT AND EXPOSIRE TO OUTDSIDE AIR, TEMPS AND RH. I DIDNT WATER WHEN I BROUGHT THEM BACK IN. I'LL CHECK TOMM MORNING AND SEE HOW THEY LOOK. IT HAD JUST STARTED TO RAIN LIGHTLY WHEN I BROUGHT THEM IN. THEY ARE PRETTY SHELTERED FROM WIND AND RAIN IN THE LEAN-TO. 5/19 It's thunderstorms out with high winds so the girls will probably stay in today. They look like they are acclimating well. I can see where some of the FIMS took. I redid one I think. I'll update later if do anything. 5/20 Everything looked AMAZING this morning. Boy that MK ULTRA has get some thick branches already forming. Another shitty rainy day. I consulted chatgtp and it was on the same page as me. No real benefit to expose my girls to 47° Temps, cold rain qnd wind. It will be shitty a couple more days. I'll evaluate things later. WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY. TOPSOIL WAS DRY. I USED APPROX 2/3 OF A GALLON ON EACH PLANT. 5/21 I've got a super busy day. I left early and it was to cold to put the girls out. It's 55° at 9:30a.m. It may rain off and on but I think the girls would do okay in the lean-to. I need to get them ready and hardened for their forever homes. Time seems like it's flying. We are getting close to being able to put them out without risk of reveg. Plus I'm not subjecting my girls to un needed stress for no reason. I'll update what I do. 5/22 Plants were dry this morning. I used what was left in the gallon jug to water all the plants. I don't wantcto overwater and I'd like to keep the nutes in the soil where the plant can absorb them. Not just leak out the bottom. They are all growing at an incredible pace. It's currently 49°F at 9:45. It's overcast with a chance of rain. We are at what was suppised to be the high for the day. If we get above 55 I'll bring the girls out and continuing hardening. I guess it's not going to he an early season. Won't be long though and these girls will be in their final homes. I'm impressed with what I've seen so far. EDIT: ITS 4PM AND THE SUN JUST PEEKED OUT FOR A FEW MINUTES AND IS GONE AGAIN. PLANTS LOOK FANTASTIC. IM SO GLAD I KEPT THEM IN DURING THESE 40 LOW 50 DEGREE WET DAYS. IT'LL ONLY STRESS THEM IMO SINCE THEY LOOK SO GOOD. AS SOON AS THIS RAINSTORM AND COLD WEATHER PASSES WE SHOULD HAVE DECENT WEATHER. JUST A FEW MORE DAYS WHERE HIGHS ARE IN THE 40'S. I FEEL BAD FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT SAW THOSE HIGH 70-80 DEGREE DAYS AND PUT THEIR PLANTS OUT. THEY ARENT DOING GOOD. JUST LOOKING AT THE FOLIAGE AROUND AND I CAN SEE TREES THAT ARE JUST LIMP. THE BLOSSOMS ON THIS SPECIES LOOK LIKE A CANNABIS PLANT IN VEG WHEN IT GOT COLD SHOCKED. ANYWAY MY BODY IS KILLING ME. I GOT A LOT DONE. AND I SOAKED MY BAGS FOR 40 MINS IN A MICTURE OF DAWN, H202 AND WATER. PRIOR I USED A WIRE BRUSH TO GET ALL DIRY AND STUFF OFF I COULD. THEN I SOAKED THEM AND AFTER I RINSED THEM. I COULD SEE THE H2O2 DOING ITS WORK. REALISTICALLY I SHOULD GET NEW BAGS. ITS JUST NOT IN THE FINANCES RIGHT NOW. OH WELL. THEYVE BEEN SANITIZED AND WASHED AND ILL GO OVER THE ONES THAT ARE STAINED AGAIN JUST TO MAKE SURE I DONT SPREAD SOMETHING. 5/23 What a miserable day. It's 44° and pouring out. I put a screenshot of tbe weather and you can see that after the next few shitty days we are getting sunny weather in the 70's. Light is long enough for them now. I need to dial back the timer morecto get them acclimated. I just have to clean up the cage and they are ready to go. Bags are sanitized. I'm going to spend some more time getting some algae off a couple. These plants are flourishing. I am happy I picked 1gal over 3gal before the transplant. It's turned out perfect thus far. Really looking forward to this. Oh and I watered everything a LITTLE bit as it was dry. Enough to get it through until they get a full watering before going outside. I also attempted a FIM on the other 10th planet. The FIM on the mk ultra worked and I've got at least three tops. 5/23 WATERED ALL PLANTS WITH APPROXIMATELY A HALF GALLON. Plants were all super light and dry. I keedcto water more volume at a time. This is easier than fixing overwatering. Things are getting tight in here. Plants are getting huge! The FIMs and Toping that ive done took. That big mk ultra has 4 or 5 tops on it! Plants look super healthy. Good weather is coming. They'll be in their forever homes shortly. It's working out perfect. Some of these plants look like they'll need a transplant soon. Still need to clean up the grow cage but that will only take a minute. Also need to fix a tear I made in a grow bag but again thats just normal small shit. If you look at the snap shot of weather I took you can see the weather is going to improve greatly. This is when I'll do the majority of work. I'll update anything else I do.

Week went again very uneventful. The plant does what she is supposed to be doing (gaining weight) :). Still lots of new pistils appearing overnight, I am checking the Trichomes daily, however, everything remains milky, with only very little % of amber trichomes. Once amber colours start increasing I will start flushing.

Last days ahead... She is doing great... very tall nice big buds a great smell of citrus and blueberry... really amazing... Fingers crossed to the end... 🙏

Servus, Started to bring them to their final shoes. Roots look awesome. More pics will follow.. Servus

The smell is really strong now she doesnt put on more weight She got flushed 5 days ago and will be harvested in 5 days. EC 0.6 only ripen PH 6.2

Chegou!!! Começou a flora, ontem fiz a primeira rega com os fertilizantes da flora, elas parecem estar gostando bastante, notei algumas queimaduras nas folhas, não sei o que pode ser mas estou observando ver se evolui ainda não fica claro qual o problema. Esses dias as temperatura tem sido boas, não muito quente não muito frio, acredito que isso tá ajudando muito, o cheiro está começando a ficar mais notável, e o substrato tá secando mais rápido também, já estou pensando em aumentar o volumen de rega mais não tenho certeza. EC: 1.920 Ppm: 974 PH: 6.02 Tudo bem se eu chegar nos mil ppm da próxima vez? 😁💚🌱

Thursday the 8th of June day 43 of 12/12 just plain ph water from now until harvest

Last week of flowering. I defoliated some more to let in more light to the lower buds so they can fatten up. Trics are all cloudy/milky with 1 or 2 yellowish trics.

#1 95cm #2 60cm

For sure i will keep this plant in stock. Very different and potent head high with great looking buds and strong flavor.
