The cheese terpenes are very strong now, I think I'm really going to enjoy this strain and it appears we'll have a lot of it too ❤️🌱.. about 4-5 weeks to go!! _~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

Stretch is well under way, growing really fast now. Not much to report just tying branches down, all going well... onto the next week 🙂

We finally made it ladies and gentlemen. It is an honor to introduce you to the beautiful Lady Wedding Cake and the beautiful Cookies Kush twins. Even though I'm pretty sure cookies kush #1 would have needed another week, she had to go under the knife,too. The ladies finished just in time for the super bowl 🏈. We need the space in the tent asap because of the Eternity Grow Cup. Next Stop Zami Runtz and Blue Gelato 41

Tropicanna Ppison XL Auto- Outside W6F4 8/3-9 I wish I could share this week’s weather with you. It was sunny and comfortable in the 70-80s with 50% humidity. This means that whatever the temperature is, the air feels like it, not 10-15 degrees hotter. My Tropicanna Poison is short under 3 feet and has a good node spacing so there is space for air flow. The buds forming don’t have many hairs yet but the trichomes forming on the sugar leaves are visible. Looking at the bud structure, the leaves are tight throughout. This may be a concern for bud rot if the rain and humidity return. I’ll keep a close watch, but so far, she is easy to grow and resistant to fungus and pests. I chose this strain a year or two ago and had not had the opportunity to grow it yet. This strain is from SweetSeeds red line and 85% of the seeds produce reds and pinks. I really hope I am a lucky one. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement. Your likes and comments motivate me to keep sharing my journey. Let’s continue to learn to grow together! Stay green, growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

💜 Purple Haze by Zamnesia – Pheno A Week 7 | A Lush Beauty Finding Her Rhythm Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! Week after week, this room continues proving why phenotype hunting is one of the most fascinating parts of growing from seed. Every plant shares the exact same environment. The same lighting. The same nutrients. The same irrigation. The same care. Yet every diary tells a completely different story. Purple Haze Pheno A continues writing hers with elegance. She isn't the tallest plant in the room. She isn't the smallest either. Instead, she's quietly becoming one of the healthiest and most balanced ladies in the tent, and every time I unzip the door she's one of the first plants my eyes are drawn toward. 🌱 One Room. One Method. Twelve Different Personalities If this is your first visit to the diary, welcome! This entire project is built around the 12/12 From Seed growing technique. Rather than giving plants a long vegetative period before flowering, every seed was placed directly under a 12/12 light schedule from the very beginning. It's a technique that naturally keeps plants more compact while allowing them to reveal their genetic personality surprisingly early. Every phenotype in this room receives exactly the same opportunity. • The same Plagron nutrition • The same lighting from the Future of Grow Black Series LED • The same environmental control through TrolMaster • The same AutoPot irrigation • The same soil • The same temperatures • The same humidity There are no favourites. No special treatment. No individual feeding. The only thing that changes... ...is genetics. Purple Haze Pheno A is beginning to show exactly what hers have in store. 🌿 A Plant You Can't Help But Admire Some plants impress you with explosive growth. Others with incredible colours. Purple Haze Pheno A immediately catches my attention for another reason. She's simply beautiful. Her foliage is exactly what every grower hopes to see. Large fan leaves. Deep, healthy green. Excellent turgor. Strong petioles. Every leaf looks like it's working exactly as nature intended. Healthy leaves are far more than decoration. They're the plant's solar panels, capturing light energy and converting it into the carbohydrates that fuel root growth, flower development and eventually resin production. When foliage looks this healthy, it's usually a reflection of everything happening beneath the surface. Healthy roots. Balanced nutrition. Stable environmental conditions. She truly looks comfortable in her home. 🌸 Flowers Are Beginning to Tell the Story Week 7 is where flowering really starts becoming exciting. Every branch now carries clusters of bright white pistils emerging from small groups of swollen calyxes. Those little white hairs are the pistils—the female reproductive organs of the flower. In nature, their purpose is to catch airborne pollen. Inside a grow tent they simply become one of the best visual indicators that flowering is progressing exactly as it should. The calyxes surrounding those pistils are equally important. Each one is the tiny building block that eventually forms the finished buds we harvest. Right now they're still small. But over the coming weeks they'll begin stacking together, swelling and filling with resin until individual flowers merge into the long, beautiful colas Purple Haze genetics are famous for producing. Judging by how evenly the flowering sites are developing, she's laying an excellent foundation for the weeks ahead. 🍃 Letting the Plant Do the Work One thing I've continued to avoid is unnecessary defoliation. Throughout the early flowering period I've relied mostly on careful leaf tucking, allowing light to reach developing bud sites without removing perfectly healthy fan leaves. Every healthy leaf is producing energy. Removing them simply because they're large isn't always the best solution. Sometimes the best training is simply understanding when not to intervene. Purple Haze has responded beautifully to that approach. Her canopy remains open. Airflow is excellent. The branches have plenty of space. Nature has done most of the hard work for me. 💡 Lumiflora Under-Canopy Lighting One exciting addition to this grow is the use of Lumiflora under-canopy lighting. Traditional grow lights do an incredible job illuminating the tops of the plants, but lower flowering sites naturally receive much less usable light as the canopy becomes denser. Under-canopy lighting helps change that. By gently illuminating the lower sections of the plant, these fixtures help those secondary flowers receive additional energy without forcing aggressive defoliation. They're not a magic solution. They won't suddenly transform small buds into giant colas overnight. What they do offer is another opportunity for lower flowering sites to remain productive while helping create a more evenly developed plant from top to bottom. I'm genuinely excited to watch how they influence the remainder of this project. 💧 Feeding This Week As flowering progresses, nutrition continues supporting the increasing demand for flower production. This week's feeding schedule includes: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Careful pH adjustment using pH Plus and Lemon Kick Everything remains balanced and consistent across the entire room, allowing each phenotype to express itself naturally. 🌡️ A Stable Environment Builds Strong Plants Consistency continues to be one of the biggest successes of this project. Current environmental conditions remain remarkably stable: • Flower Week 7 • Height: 120 cm • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • Solution temperature: 22°C • Root zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: 639 ppm When plants don't need to constantly adapt to environmental swings, they can dedicate their energy to what matters most—building flowers. 📷 This Week's Gallery This week's photographs showcase exactly why I'm enjoying this phenotype so much. The close-up shots reveal healthy clusters of fresh white pistils emerging from every flowering site, while the wider images highlight her beautifully balanced architecture and outstanding foliage. One of my favourite details is the colour. The rich green leaves frame the developing flowers perfectly, giving the entire plant an incredibly healthy appearance. She isn't trying to steal the spotlight. She's simply growing with confidence. And sometimes that's even more impressive. 🔮 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect the stretch to begin slowing noticeably. More energy should shift toward flower production as the calyxes continue stacking and the buds gradually start gaining volume. I'm also very curious to observe the ongoing influence of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting as the canopy becomes denser. What I don't expect is explosive overnight change. Purple Haze doesn't feel like that kind of plant. She seems determined to improve steadily, week after week, building quality before quantity. If she continues along this path, I have a feeling she'll become one of the most rewarding plants to harvest—not because she grows the fastest, but because she grows with remarkable consistency. 💚 Thank You Thank you so much for following another chapter of this 8×8 Adventure. Every week reinforces why documenting each individual phenotype has become one of the most rewarding parts of this journey. Watching twelve unique plants express themselves under identical conditions continues to teach me something new every single week. A huge thank you to: 💚 GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from around the world can learn, share knowledge, and inspire one another. 🌱 Zamnesia for providing the outstanding Purple Haze genetics that make this phenotype hunt possible. 💜 Plagron for supplying the nutrition supporting every stage of this grow. 💡 Future of Grow LED for delivering the light driving this entire project. 🌿 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment where every phenotype can perform at its best. ✨ Lumiflora for bringing an exciting new dimension to this grow with their under-canopy lighting, and giving these lower flowering sites every opportunity to shine. And finally... Thank you to everyone following these diaries, leaving comments, asking questions, and sharing this journey with me. Every week Purple Haze Pheno A becomes a little more impressive. Not because she's trying to stand out... But because she's quietly showing what healthy, well-balanced genetics are capable of. Growers Love! 💜🌿

Day 43, week 7 starts, these girls keep growing like crazy. I decided to defoliate them and only keep the tops for now, except for one of them that is so wide and low that I left some side branches at the same level of the tops. Day 45. Great general conditions, they want more food than ever as the flowering stage come closer

You gnat to do what you gnat to do.

She is much prettier than she was a week ago :) I remembered that I have my first grow light, which is more compact and it will give me more space, so I changed my light, now the girl's side branches get light too:) I add a lot of video memes, because I really want to win Iphone16 pro ;) and those who don't take risks don't drink champagne:) good luck to everyone.

Hey guys, what's up? Here's an update on a new week of vegetative growth for this beautiful Strawberry Cola Sherbet from Sweet Seeds, which is developing quite well, although I had to interrupt fertilization due to a small root blockage, a mineral buildup because the pH meter has been miscalibrated for some strange reason and I had to water at least twice with an incorrect pH, which has caused the plant to be unable to absorb these minerals. I have already watered with distilled water, adjusting the pH to 6.0. I hope it will return to normal within a week and I will fertilize again gradually, as I expect it to bloom in 1 or 2 weeks. I will keep you updated and you will see the progress. A STRONG HUG FUMONES,💀😍

Smell is getting intense..sweet bud when closer inpection the smell is smelling like something that will make u nauseous yet intriguing...smelling like mushrooms alil and definitely garlic 🤢 ... Can't wait to test this baby and her taste profile

All has gone good this week topped #2, #3, #4 , for the 2nd time, continuing training.forming good flat canopy, switching them over to flower as it's the end of week

Bueno, empezamos por el final familia. Gorilla girl, me parece una cepa BRU-TAL , ya partiendo de esa base, mi error, creo que e cometido , es poner estos ejemplares en macetas de 5L, que tonto... mínimo recomendado 7L y a ser posible 11L Otro error fue no dejarlas una semana más. pero, escasez. (intentaremos curarla un par de semanas). Cepa con flores muy compactas, hay bastante separación entre nudos pero compensa las flores de verdad. Sabor muy dulzón a mi me recuerda a melón , es un pepino recomendado para amantes de la hierba que llevan tiempo en esto, un colocón muy fuerte, ahora mismo estoy bajo los efectos de esta vaina, aseguro que con cada frase, leo varias veces y detenidamente por que válgame.

Harvest incoming.

Day 57 the plant continues to grow without a problem I can see there are continue to stretch I used painters tape around the branches that I supercrop in order to give them a little bit support and allow nutrients to continue to flow through the branch the plant has been recovering very well from high stress training and I'm looking forward to see how this girl is going to turn out . I know that most of the growers in this platform and elsewhere do defoliate and trim down all the lower branches of the plant so that the plant can concentrate all its energy into the higher bigger and better buds .and I do not do this because I drive the plants very hard with nutrients and those lower branches with small buds always give me the first sign of anything going wrong with her and that's why I leave them as a buffer zone to protect the bigger buds and that way I can push her as hard as I want. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow

April 18: Thank you MSNL seeds for the package i germinated as soon they got here 😄 So i start with 2 strains in my small tent, then when the 4x4 is free i will pump it full too with all of these for a few crops, cheers April 23: they both above ground now April 20: the seeds have roots and are now planted in 2 liter pots

Wow! What a difference a week makes! The purple leaves are really showing now in the Glueberrys & Colorado Cookies. 7 Glueberrys, 2 Colorado Cookies and 1 Blueberry will come down in a few days. Upd

Strain: 24K Kush (Seeds Genetics) – ook bekend als 24K Gold of Kosher Tangie (Kosher Kush x Tangie) Genetica: 60% Indica / 40% Sativa Type: Feminized Photoperiod Aantal planten: 4 Medium: Potgrond (organisch/basic soil) Potten: 7 liter fabric pots (stofpotten) – uitstekende drainage en wortelbeluchting Belichting: 415W Bestva LED full-spectrum, 12/12 schema Setup: Indoor in 120x120 cm tent (1.44 m²) – ruime tent voor stretch en LST, goede spreiding onder de lamp Week: Week 6 Flowering (zesde week bloei) Update Week 6 Flowering De stretch is grotendeels voorbij en de planten focussen nu volop op bud development! In week 6 bloei staan de 4 planten tussen de 55-85 cm hoog (gemiddeld ~65-75 cm). De Tangie-sativa invloed zorgde voor een duidelijke stretch in de eerste 2-3 weken (tot ~30-40% toename), maar nu stabiliseert de hoogte. De Kosher Kush-kant zorgt voor stevige, compacte structuur met bredere cola's die beginnen te vullen. Pistils (witte haartjes) zijn talrijk en beginnen hier en daar licht te kleuren naar oranje/bruin. De calyxen zwellen mooi op en de buds krijgen meer densiteit en hars – de eerste echte "fatty" look komt eraan. Hoogte: 55-85 cm (stretch grotendeels gestopt; totale hoogte blijft beheersbaar in de 120x120 cm tent dankzij LST) Structuur: Canopy nog vlak door eerdere LST, side branches goed gevuld. Bud sites ontwikkelen zich tot compacte, harsrijke clusters. Brede fan leaves beginnen licht te vergelen (normaal in mid-flower als de plant energie naar de buds stuurt). Gezondheid: Planten zien er sterk en productief uit – diep groen waar het telt, geen grote deficiënties of pests. Fabric pots blijven top presteren met goede drainage tijdens de hogere waterbehoefte. Belichting afstand: Bestva LED op ~30-45 cm – voldoende intensiteit voor bud swelling zonder burn. Gelijkmatige dekking over alle 4 planten. Water/voeding: Water elke 1-2 dagen (afhankelijk van potgewicht). pH 6.0-6.5. Volle bloom-voeding (hoog P/K, bijv. NPK 1-3-4 of 2-3-5 op 100% sterkte, plus CalMag). Extra PK-boost (zoals PK 13/14) kan helpen voor dikkere buds. Potgrond buffer is bijna op, dus consistent voeden is key. Omgeving: Temp 20-24°C (iets lager voor dichtere buds en terpenen), RV 40-45% (laag houden om schimmel te voorkomen bij dichtere cola's). Sterke airflow blijft cruciaal in de tent. De geur is nu duidelijk aanwezig: zoete citrus (mandarijn/orange van Tangie) met zware, skunky Kush-ondertoon – lekker pungent! Dit is het moment waarop de strain echt laat zien waarom ze geliefd is: harsrijke, dichte buds met potentie voor hoge THC.

Just got the girl flower power from nature’s living soil might add that in the next watering
