🌱Day 72.💚 🌱Day 74.💚 🌱Day 75. Grow rent heat up till 36 degrees each single day. THC mushrooms start get brownish too quick. Turn off light for 48h and get ready for harvest.💚

58 days in the books. Scheduled for knee surgery on the 10th so harvest on this girl may be coming sooner than I had hoped. My next diary will be 1 Big Bud and 1 Agent orange who have both been vegging the last 3+months. Gave them a lollipop hair cut 1 week ago. Both are recovering nicely. Anywho, happy gardening 🌱🙏🤘🖖✌️ ¤ With the help of my amazing lady friend the grow goes on. She will be aiding me in the 3 waterings (flush) to get this girl to the 10 week mark! Resin and trichomes are progressing from clear milky to milky amber.

Transplanted her into a 3 gal air pot, added some mycorrhizae to the soil and watered her with pH'd water 6.0...

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 11 ✨ Still a Glamorous Girl — Frosty, Fading & Possibly Entering Her Final Chapter Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And honestly... there isn't a huge amount to say this week. And I mean that as a compliment. 😂💜 Purple CousKush Pheno A is still doing exactly what she has been doing so beautifully: Growing. Flowering. Frosting. And looking absolutely fucking gorgeous. She's still a glamorous plant. Actually... the frost levels on this girl are getting a little ridiculous. ❄️💜✨ At this stage of the adventure, most of the plants are essentially in auto mode. They're doing their thing. They're following their own rhythm. They're developing their flowers. And we're not trying to constantly interfere with that process. There's no major training. No major reshaping. No unnecessary intervention. We observe. We maintain. We provide. And we let the plants finish their stories. And Purple CousKush? She may be starting to tell us that her story is getting close to the final chapters. 🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — When the Plants Start Writing the Ending For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The concept is simple: Twelve different plants. One room. Essentially the same environment. Same general lighting strategy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional program. Same grower. But different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different expressions. Different rhythms. And now we're reaching one of the most interesting parts of the experiment. The plants are starting to show us not only who they are... but how they want to finish. Some are still pushing hard. Some are still developing. Some are moving faster. Some are moving slower. And some are starting to say: "Okay... I think I'm getting ready to leave." 😂 Purple CousKush Pheno A appears to be one of those girls. ──────────────────────── 💜 The Glamour Girl Is Still Shining Last week I called her glamorous. This week? The title still fits perfectly. She's beautiful. She's balanced. She's elegant. And she's absolutely covered in frost. ❄️❄️❄️ Honestly... the resin production on this girl is becoming one of the first things I notice when I look at her. You don't have to search for it. You don't have to wonder whether she's getting frosty. She's basically announcing it. 😂💜 The flowers have that sparkling appearance that makes you want to get closer and closer with the camera. And the closer you get... the crazier it becomes. Trichomes everywhere. Resin-covered surfaces. Beautiful flowering structures. Tiny details catching the light. This is one seriously frosty girl. And I absolutely love it. ──────────────────────── ❄️ Frost Levels: Completely Ridiculous Let's just give this its own section. Because... wow. 😂❄️💜 The frost on Purple CousKush Pheno A is absolutely out of this world. She's reaching that stage where the flowers almost stop looking like they're simply covered in resin... and start looking like the resin is part of the flower itself. Every angle seems to reveal another layer. And this is exactly why I love having the camera around during this stage. The naked eye sees a beautiful flowering plant. The macro lens says: "Hold my beer." 😂📸❄️ Suddenly you see an entire world of tiny structures. Trichomes. Resin. Pistils. Calyxes. Sugar leaves. Texture. Light reflecting off everything. And Purple CousKush is giving us plenty to photograph. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Looking More Mature The flowers themselves are continuing to develop nicely. They're established now. We're well beyond the stage of wondering what the plant is going to look like. She's showing us. And she's showing us beautifully. The structures are substantial. The flower sites are well defined. The resin is heavy. And there's a clear sense that the plant is moving toward maturity. This is one of those stages where the changes from week to week can become more subtle. We're not necessarily looking for dramatic new growth anymore. We're watching for refinement. Maturation. Density. Resin. Colour. And those little signs that tell us the plant is moving toward the end of her journey. And this girl has started giving us one of those signs. ──────────────────────── 🍂 She's Starting to Fade This is probably the biggest change I'm seeing this week. Purple CousKush Pheno A has started fading. And honestly? I was expecting it sooner or later. She's beginning to show those visual signs that she's moving into a later stage of flower. And that's what makes me think she may be approaching her final run. Not necessarily tomorrow. Not necessarily next week. I'm not putting a date on it. But she's definitely giving me the impression that she's beginning to wind things down. She's basically saying: "I've done a lot of work here. I might be getting ready to clock out." 😂💜 And I'm listening. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The Final Stage Is Starting to Show One of the things I enjoy about growing is that plants don't always need to tell you exactly what's happening. Sometimes they simply show you. The overall appearance changes. The foliage begins to fade. The flowers look increasingly mature. The plant's energy seems to shift. And eventually you start seeing a very different version of the plant compared with the one you met earlier in the run. That's what I'm beginning to see here. Purple CousKush isn't looking unhealthy. She's looking like a flowering plant approaching the later part of her journey. There's a difference. And it's an important one. So for now... we observe. We don't panic. We don't start making unnecessary changes just because the leaves are changing colour. We simply acknowledge what the plant is showing us. And this girl is showing us: "Final chapter may be coming." 💜🌸 ──────────────────────── 💧 Nutrition — We May Be Getting Close The room is still following the same nutritional strategy. The current program remains: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution strength: ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm But... because Purple CousKush is already showing signs of entering this later stage, I'm starting to think about the next step. I may begin reducing the nutritional intensity next week. Possibly for her. Possibly across the room, depending on how the other girls are progressing. I'm not making that decision yet. And that's intentional. We're watching the plants first. Then we'll decide. That's one of the nice things about having twelve individual diaries. Each phenotype can tell us something slightly different. And Purple CousKush is definitely starting to tell us something. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Under the Same Sun The lighting environment remains the same. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main overhead lighting, with the additional fixtures now part of the upgraded lighting setup. We've already adjusted the output to approximately 59% from the plug after adding the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures. We're working around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And Purple CousKush continues making absolutely beautiful use of those photons. She's not suddenly changing her architecture. She's not trying to stretch. She's simply continuing to finish what she started. And under that lighting... the frost is looking spectacular. ❄️💜✨ A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying the additional fixtures for us to test during this adventure. Having the additional lighting capacity has been a really interesting part of this experiment. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Same Room. Same Conditions. Different Ending Signals. This is another part of the 8×8 Adventure that I find fascinating. The room is the same. The general environment is the same. The lighting is the same. The nutrition is the same. The irrigation philosophy is the same. And yet... the plants don't necessarily reach the same stage at the same time. Purple CousKush is showing us signs that she's beginning to wind down. Another plant might still be charging ahead. Another might be somewhere comfortably in between. And that's exactly what we wanted to see. The environment gives them the opportunity. The genetics and individual plants tell us how they use it. Purple CousKush Pheno A is apparently saying: "I've got my flowers. I've got my frost. I've had my fun. Maybe it's almost time." 😂💜 ──────────────────────── ✂️ And Still... Nothing Major to Do At this point, there really isn't much for me to do physically. And that's okay. The structure is established. The flowers are formed. The plant is progressing. The fading has begun. So we're not going to start inventing work. No unnecessary defoliation. No dramatic reshaping. No last-minute gymnastics. 😂 She's doing what she needs to do. Our job now is mostly observation and maintaining consistency. Sometimes the best grow diary update is: "I didn't touch her. She looked amazing. Next." 😂💜 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 Conditions The overall room conditions remain consistent with the latest 8×8 setup: 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup 💡 Approx. power after adjustment: ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same lighting evolution. Same nutritional evolution. And a plant beginning to show her own timing. ──────────────────────── 🔬 This Is Why Individual Diaries Matter If you only looked at the entire room, you might simply say: "Week 11. They're flowering." But when you follow each phenotype individually... you see much more. Purple CousKush Pheno A is telling a different story. She's a glamorous, medium-sized plant. Beautifully structured. Extremely frosty. And now beginning to fade. That's information. That's part of the experiment. And that's why I love documenting these girls individually. Because the room gives us the broad picture... but each plant gives us the details. And Purple CousKush has some very beautiful details. ──────────────────────── 📸 This Girl Was Made for Macro Honestly... the frost alone makes her worth putting in front of the camera. 😂📸❄️ The full-plant photographs show the architecture. The closer shots show the flowers. And the macro photographs? That's where she really starts showing off. The resin. The trichomes. The textures. The little details that you simply cannot appreciate from across the room. Purple CousKush Pheno A is one of those plants where the camera keeps making me stop and look. And every time I zoom in... there's another layer. Another sparkling surface. Another beautiful little structure. Another reminder of just how incredible flowering plants can be. ──────────────────────── 💜 A Glamorous Girl Approaching Her Goodbye There's something slightly bittersweet about this stage. Because when you start noticing a plant entering her final stretch... you realize the journey you've been following for weeks is eventually going to end. We've watched her grow. We've watched her develop. We've watched the flowers appear. We've watched the frost build. We've watched her become what she is now. And now... we may be approaching the final chapter. But we're not rushing it. Absolutely not. We'll let her tell us when she's ready. For now, she's still shining. Still beautiful. Still absolutely covered in frost. And still giving us plenty to enjoy. 💜❄️✨ ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead So what happens next? Honestly... we'll see. 😂 I'm keeping an eye on the fading. I'm watching the flowers. I'm watching the overall maturity. And I'm considering whether next week will be the moment to begin reducing the nutritional input for her, or whether the room as a whole will be ready for that transition. No rush. No forced schedule. No arbitrary finish line. The plants will tell us. And Purple CousKush is already starting to speak. She's saying: "I'm getting close." So we'll listen. ──────────────────────── ✨ Final Thoughts — Let This Glamorous Girl Shine Week 11. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is still absolutely beautiful. Honestly... she doesn't need a complicated report this week. She's a glamour of a plant. 💜✨ She's frosty beyond reason. She's beautifully structured. She's progressing. She's beginning to fade. And she's potentially entering the final stage of her journey. That's really the story. The room is in auto mode. The plants are doing their thing. We're not forcing anything. We're not constantly touching them. We're simply watching them mature. And this girl? She's starting to show us that she may be getting ready for her final chapter. Maybe next week we'll see more. Maybe the fading will progress. Maybe she'll tell us even more clearly that she's ready. We'll see. But for now... I'm just enjoying her. Looking at her flowers. Looking at that ridiculous frost. Taking photographs. And thinking: "Damn... you're beautiful." 😂💜❄️ That's Purple CousKush Pheno A. No drama. No complaints. Just a glamorous girl doing exactly what she wants to do. And now... possibly getting ready to say goodbye. But not quite yet. There's still a little more story to write. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate this beautiful phenotype for exactly what she is. Frosty. Elegant. Beautiful. And possibly entering the final stretch. 💜🌸❄️✨ Keep shining, Purple CousKush. You've earned every bit of that spotlight. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document this 8×8 Adventure and follow these individual phenotypes through every stage of their journey. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple CousKush genetics behind this beautiful girl. 💜🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and for supplying the additional fixtures we're now testing in the room. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week. It all becomes part of the story. And Purple CousKush Pheno A has given us a beautiful one. From her early development... to her balanced structure... to her glamorous flowering... to this absolutely ridiculous frost... and now, perhaps, the beginning of her final chapter. She's still shining. She's still beautiful. And she's still very much worth watching. 💜❄️🌸✨ So let's give this glamorous girl the spotlight she deserves. Let's see what she has left to show us. And let's enjoy every last bit of it. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💜

They grew alot this week and pushed in height. Now they are producing nice buds. I started giving them nutrients this week. They loved them.

Letting them finish out. Just don’t miss a watering

8/19 (Day 63) - Pretty normal/typical today. Have just been monitoring since the defoliation a few days ago. Environment has been stable, stay around 78/79 degrees during the day and around 73 at night. Humidity fluctuates between 55-60 RH. PH stays 5.8/5.9. I did accidentally feed a bit much and have been watering with just RO water and they have been drinking fine, a few deficiencies and I also lowered my light power by 10%. I may end up changing the res and water tomorrow just because I did mix my nutrients a little hot by accident and took me a few days to notice. Everything is looking pretty good thus far and we are getting closer to finishing! Pretty pleased with my first grow but excited for the second because I have more knowledge and have a few things that im going to correct and do differently. Will be updating throughout the week. Thanks for looking. 8/20 (Day 64) - Decided to just ride out and keep topping the res with RO water, Calmag, and Rootdrip. I think I added too much Calmag last week trying to correct the calcium deficiency I was seeing. Girls are drinking just fine and not showing any real issues. Everything is stays in check. Tomorrow is water and nute change. 8/21 (Day 65)- Woke up early and got the everything pumped out and fresh water and nutrients back in. Definitely over did it on the calmag last week by mistake but doesn't look like any real harm done. Roots and plants are looking good and getting big! All the plants seem at slightly different stages in flower though, not sure if its something ive done or just differences in plants genetically. All conditions are in check and gonna continue to watch them hopefully keep fattening up! As always, tips and recommendations always appreciated!

❇️ Ms Northern is growing like she has bills to pay ❇️ I still haven’t fed any bottled nutrients because her soil was well amended ❇️ The growth looks good, the branches are coming along so we can begin training. ❇️ She recovered from her defoliation and is on going

they do not seem mileage even after a week of fertilization even if at very low dosages the next time I increase the nutrients and let's see what happens Days 41 it looks like it's going well they still look nutrient deficient the next time we increase the dosage.

--------------------------------------- Seedsman Afghan Kush Harvest --------------------------------------- Harvest day 6th of December, 6/12/2019 Germination: 6/8/2019 Weight on the scales : 219g, weighted after 10 days of drying, but there are stems and some leaves, not a lot, but only bud would be a little less weight. Flowering weeks: 10 weeks Veg weeks: 7 weeks Fluxh weeks: 2 weeks ---------------------------------------- Harvest was a little aerlier than expected ( flowers development), because i spotted some mold points on some buds, like 5 in total, lost few flowers but a cleaning trim was done after. I was checking every day, cut the plant inmediatly, also beacuse RH was rising, and also some rain was coming after a couple of sunny days. Production could have been better, yes, but, started to flower really late too, so that allowed the plant to grow a little more also, so that added some branches and space for buds, the thing that i notice is that they could have grow more in summer, but its simply a blessing that, this plant, made it until December hahaha :D Loved to eat a lot, high doses always. Noticed extra vigorousity when adding rich micro nutrients. Trully special plant, the range of purple/dark purple/blue purple colours showed will make me remember this plant. The flowers pack an extraordinary aroma, after 3 weeks in jars, the flavour is: hash/fruity/cream and it smells like: mangoes/fresh fruits and hash/resin. I hope you like the diary Growmmies, thanks to all the people arounde here, for the views, advices, comments and likes, it will be always a pleasure :) Take care guys.....Good Vibez !!! and wish you Happy Hollydays !!!! Dont forget to roll one if you can ^^. Music is from Alfa Mist : Mulago.

ph meter is broken. i use ghe liquid to read ph lol ph goes down every night. 650ppm is still too high for this strain, drinks a liter everyday i need a bluelab ph/ec meter 2 Februari: the buds start to appear on the hydro plant with thc everywhere lol

Video quality is so so for closeups with GoPro. Both phenos are super fire 2 more watering and will be flushing for about two weeks should take me near harvest at week 9-10. Mars Hydro FC4800 dimmed at 300w, will help lower temps and bring out those colours.

I’ve got some curling going on. Have been trying to get temp humidity stable so I got a humidity controller and now run lights on timer 6 hrs off. Also my humidity gauge I used to set in the middle of the tent but I now put directly in the pot behind the plant and different readings. It’s one of those cheap humidity temp gauges that comes with led lights. Just need to get this curling thing down. 1 of the plants shows no curl so maybe it’s the fox farm soil is too hot. Or maybe that 1plant got better plant coverage, I’ve since adjusted the fan and may get another one.

Beginning of flowering phase and they already stretched 7 cm in 3 days only. The topped one reached 38 cm and the LST only is 42 cm . The smell is strating to come out , smell quite nice. Not intense yet. Fertilizers Top Vulcan 1 table spoon each. No more repetition Plagron alga bloom 4 ml & power bud 1 ml power roots 1 ml , alga grow 4 ml and vita race 4 ml. I Will repeat the same every 4 days for the for 1st two weeks of flowering . As you can see I am growing other strains but the lemon orange stand out for now. They are larger, busher and smell amazing 😍

Being away over the new years I was unable to tend to the ladies. However, we received an update from friend

Morgen wird die pinkie entlaubt

Everything looks great...going to transplant next week!!!
