Sie hat die größten Blätter, die ich bisher an meinen Damen gesehen habe und wächst ziemlich dicht. Etwas Defoliation wird demnächst angesagt sein. Sie hat viele neue Triebe entwickelt und wächst gleichmäßig weiter, auch beim schlechten Wetter in dieser Woche. Um gegen starke Winde bei Gewittern geschützt zu sein, habe ich bereits einige Zweige zur gegenseitigen Stützung zusammengebunden.

I harvested on the last day of week 13. I didn't water for 3 days before harvesting and hung the branches to dry without trimming. I let them hang for 5 days, then trimmed them and am now curing the buds for another 4 weeks.

WOCHE 8 Der Stretch hat zum Glück aufgehört. Ich habe den unteren Bereich noch mal ziemlich stark entlaubt und dort auch alle Blütenstände entfernt. Sie pusht jetzt alles in die Blüten. Diese Woche gibt es leider nur ein paar Fotos vom Anfang der Woche und die Timelapse, da ich mal wieder unterwegs bin.

Critical Purple Kush is drinking like theirs no tomorrow. I had to give her own own extra watering this week. It drank 8 gallons that time. The amount of big colas forming is impressive. Maybe in the triple digits. It is really dense but the new leave are staying small an the plant is still getting good light penetration and airflow. Has been a little impossible to get humidity any lower at the moment dude tot he amount of transpiration happening. but i will start to water a littles each week and let the sill maintain a lower average moisture to try y to help a little They were still stretching a lot this week ,but at the end of the week are slowing down some. Got my temps dialed a little cooler while having lights going full blast because the plants seem to be handling it well. They stretch themselves right into the canopy where is reading over 1400 PPFD. I'm running the light so intense the lower buds at the top of the first net are growing almost the same rate as one closer to the top of second net. The plants have been drinking a ton. I watered at least 3 times about 7 gallons each time. I wanted to give them some compost tea last week, but they were drinking so quickly, I didn't have a day in between to let my water air/bubble to get it prepared for my brew. I was able to get and extra day in between and a nice dry back followed by a top dress of rock dust watered in with my compost tea with a little bit of everything I got. Each plant received top dress each 1 cup azomite,1/2 cup glacial and basalt, and 1/4 cup Langbeinite. Plants got another trim everything below the first net beforehand. I took out a few leaves between the two nets but for the most part left the plants untouched except for the a few of the oldest leaves.

4/27 I'm fairly certain that I watered everything. If not I only would've held off on a smaller plant that was about 17 grams over dry weight. Pretty sure I did them all though. Having a scale makes watering in these cups SO much easier. Had a rough few days with a lot going on so i uavent been writing as much. Transplant will be happening soon. Most plants have or are close to having there fourth node. I'm not going to top/FIM until after transplant and they've settled in nicely. The Kush plants are getting close to needing that transplant. I'm waiting for the leaves to go beyond the edge of the cup. Despite the fact that some havecthree fingered leaves hanging on their own stem. The transplants will go into 1/2 happy frog half ocean forest. All in all things are going good. Some plants will probably be transplanted this week. Plants in this diary are different ages. 4/28 I watered what needed it by the scale. A few were close but within range so I left them alone. I'll check later in the day and water when they are within range. It sucks sometimes because I need to make that decision over just a few points sometimes. I usually do it based on plant size and response. Oh well, these girls are out of seedling stage thats for sure. Realistically this week is closer to week one of veg then the seedling emerging on day one when i started this. I just wanted to get this diary started. Then I had to get replacement seeds as some didn't germinate. These girls are looking pretty good so ill probably save the other beans i have for next year. I MAY do a lilac/diesel auto from Ethos when it gets warmer but we'll see. I am wicked excited for this season. Planning to clean and sanitize grow area and wash pots today. Everything seems to be doing amazing. 4/29 I watered a few but many weren't in range yet. I'll be there later this afternoon and check again. Boy things are going good. Planning to grab the rest of my soil this morning. Things are popping off. Transplants will be coming soon. I just want that big rootball first before they go in the 1 gals. I picked up my soil but they shorted me 3 bags of haply frog. It was like a war zone there. Construction everywhere and people hollering at each other over the mechanical racket. Only the drive through was open. I did some quick calculations to reach what I needed for soil bit after they told me to go back in because "they didn't have it." I stop and get out and it went back on my card. Apparently they were hassling my legally blind disabled wife to move the car. She offered them the opportunity to do so but they would need to deal with me after. I wasn't in anyone's way. The car behind me went around me just fine. Anyway I remembered the little local store one town over. Ten minute drive and they have a deal where if you buy 5 bags of hf you it's only SLIGHTLY more than 3. I headed out that way but had to come home due to an emergency. They've got a bunch and they aren't in the city. I'll make it over there this afternoon or in the morning and pick up the rest of my happy frog. No roots organic 707 this year. It's the same price as ocean forest and I really like ocean forest. Lots see how they do with just happy frog and ocean. 4/30 Watered the front row of the aerogarden. Others seemed to be within range. Pretty sure I watered everything under the L.E.D. Things are moving forward. I've got a lot of work to do. I'm going to pick up my remaining soil. I need to clean and sterilize grow bags and the 1 gallon pots and I need to clean and sanitize the grow cage itself and do any little repairs that may need it. So far I'm pretty happy. I don't want to make a mistake and transplant to early. I think we may have an early season this year. It's been nice the past few days. 5/1 It's been hot the past few days. It's looking like we are going to have an early season which is totally OK with me. I WATERED TODAY. I think I did the entire aero garden. I watered the majority under the l.e.d as well. I think when it gets that close (weight wise) it doesn't REALLY matter whether they get that shot glass or not. As long as the weight is like 217 or something. Some plants have leaves going over the sides of the cup. I transplanted to early last time with seeds. Not REALLY to early but they could've stayed in the cups longer. And they take up less space that way but within a week I bet these girls will be transplanted and spending some time outside. I'm looking forward to it. 5/2 Plants are looking great. Watered everything I think. Some weights were high (e.g. 216) but I watered them anyway. I'm starting to be able to squeeze the cups and feel the roots. After I run these few errands and bring wife to the soctors I'll get the rest of my soil and I'll clean my 1 gal pots. The past few days they could've gotten some sunlight. It's been really nice out. Raining today. EDIT: PICKED UP THE REST OF THE SOIL FOR THE SEASON. PLANTS ARE DOING GOOD. SINCE THE FIRST BATCH WAS A LITTLE STUNTED SOME OF THE OTHERS ARE IN SIMILAR STAGES. I "COULD" TRANSPLANT NOW BUT ITS EASIER DEALING WITH THEM IN THE SOLOS. AS SOON AS I TRANSPLANT THEY'LL JUMP IN SIZE. I'LL NEED TO PUT AT LEAST ONE HPS LIGHT UP AS WELL. HOWEVER, IT'S BEEN NICE ENOUGH HERE THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SPEND TIME OUTSIDE DURING PART OF MOST DAYS. LAST TIME I DID SEEDS I WENT WITH 3 GALLONS BUT IM GOING INTO 1'S THIS YEAR WITH FINAL GROW BAGS RANGING FROM 20G-50G. I USIALLY USE A MIX OF FFOF, FFHF, AND ROOTS ORGANIC 707 IN EQUAL PARTS. THIS YEAR I'M USING ONLY THE FOX FARM SOILS. IVE DONE THIS BEFORE WITH GOOD RESULTS. 5/3 WATERED EVERYTHING BUT ONE TENTH PLANET AND THE ONE BEHIND IT WHICH I BELIEVE IS CHEM DOG #4. I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN I WATERED EVERYTHING UNDER THE L.E.D. These girls are ready for a new home. There's a couple that I Gould hold off on but some are at the point where they NEED A transplant. IT would be much easier to light and carry around in these cups but I want to veg indoors and on nice days bring them outside to harden off. There's only a COUPLE slow starters that could wait but only a couple. I have this year's soil. Just need to wash the pots and mis the soil and transplant. Today is busy but tomorrow is open so I'll be playing it by ear.

70 days:) I haven't seen her this week:( the photos and video were taken by my friend, it's been very hot all week, 35°, I'll be back to her in a few days ;) then I'll be able to assess how she's doing, good luck to everyone,

So i decide to make the switch to green plaent nutrients... Was not to happy with my advanced nutrients, Having wired stuff happening in my resivor again .. not sure if a bottle spoiled or what but not older then a year ... anyways got the Gp3 going .. Flushed plants and now feeding gp3 feed/water ... wow these buds looked iced AF .. Also my new light is killing it !! Noticed leaf tips little crispy so running lightb@80-90% power ... Let me tell you these buds got way more dense then they would have been with the mars lights and so early still ... The colours and aroma is really starting to stand out .. Also clones are super healthy.. Put them under my old ts600 mars and they are really taking off... will keep 3 to mother in about 3 weeks im hoping, the rest will be given to good homes

100% success on the germination, with the 2 out of 2 seeds germinated, let's grow!! 👨‍🌾💯💚

This AK auto day 59 is doing amazing buds are very large with great bud spacing and not very leafy giving more sunlight penatration about 30 day to go 😀

Nice

🇩🇪 Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto - Outdoor Woche 2 Die drei Lemon Cherry Cookies entwickeln sich weiterhin solide unter freiem Himmel. Das warme Wetter und die vielen Sonnenstunden sorgen für stetiges Wachstum und eine gesunde Blattentwicklung. Eine der drei Pflanzen hat sich allerdings entschieden, ihren ganz eigenen Weg zu gehen und wächst aktuell etwas schief und gestreckt. Natürlich gehört auch das zum Outdoor-Grow dazu. Nicht jede Pflanze startet perfekt, doch oft holen genau diese Kandidaten später überraschend stark auf. Die beiden anderen Pflanzen zeigen bereits eine schöne Struktur und entwickeln sich sehr gleichmäßig. Insgesamt bin ich mit dem Zustand der Lemon Cherry Cookies in Woche 2 sehr zufrieden und freue mich auf die nächsten Wochen unter der Sonne. 🌱 Jeder Grow erzählt seine eigene Geschichte. 📅 Jeden Sonntag gibt es neue Updates und Berichte. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lemon Cherry Cookies Auto - Outdoor Week 2 The three Lemon Cherry Cookies continue to develop nicely outdoors. Warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine are providing excellent conditions for steady growth and healthy leaf development. One of the three ladies has decided to take her own unique path and is currently growing a little stretched and crooked. But that's part of outdoor growing. Not every plant starts perfectly, and sometimes those are the ones that surprise you the most later on. The other two plants are already showing a nice structure and are developing very evenly. Overall, I am very happy with the progress of the Lemon Cherry Cookies during week 2 and look forward to seeing how they perform in the coming weeks. 🌱 Every grow tells its own story. 📅 New updates and reports every Sunday.

Happy Weekend Friends, After another mixed week i gave her the chop last night on a dry and windy evening. Shes reached her fullest and was ready. I would just like to say thank you too @DutchPassion_Official for letting me take part as i've really enjoyed this grow and watching her beautiful flowers develop. She grew like a champ despite terrible weather conditions and this a strain definitely suited to the UK outdoors. I did find a bit of budrot in the main cola and one of the others which i managed to cut out, but given the amount of rain sustained its hardly surprising and overall she stood up really well. Trimming took ages as this gal is really dense with a high leaf to calyx ratio, but im left with what seems to be a really decent amount of solid purple 😊 Just got wait for this baby to dry now and then il give the final weight and smoke report in the coming weeks. Until then i hope you've enjoyed this diary, thanks for stopping by 😊✌️

🌱 Folder 09 | Candy Rain Auto Week 1 – Finding Her Rhythm Welcome to the first chapter of Candy Rain Auto in the 8×8 Adventure. Unlike many of her neighbors, Candy Rain didn’t have the easiest start. She entered the room a few days later than the rest of the project, immediately placing herself at a slight disadvantage on paper. But plants don’t read calendars, and every phenotype writes its own story. The purpose of the 8×8 Adventure has always been exactly this: documenting every individual plant honestly, allowing each genetic to express itself naturally under identical conditions. There are no races here. Every plant is given the same opportunity to demonstrate what it is capable of. Already during this first week, Candy Rain is proving that patience is often rewarded. While initially producing only simple juvenile leaves, she quickly transitioned into healthy three-finger leaves, with each new set arriving larger, wider and noticeably more vigorous than the last. The journey has only just begun. ⸻ 🌿 Grow Environment The entire room remains carefully controlled to provide every cultivar with the same stable environment. Environmental Conditions * 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative Humidity: 55% * 🌱 Substrate Temperature: 21°C * 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * ⚡ EC: 1.3 * pH: 6.0 * 💨 CO₂: 666 ppm * 💡 Light Cycle: 12 / 12 From Seed * ? Pot Size: 15 Litres Because Candy Rain emerged slightly later than the rest of the room, irrigation has been adjusted specifically to her needs. Rather than following the volume given to the larger plants, watering remains concentrated around the young root zone, encouraging the roots to actively search through the substrate while avoiding unnecessary saturation. ⸻ 🌿 Nutrition Candy Rain is receiving exactly the same Plagron Terra program as the rest of the garden, simply scaled appropriately for her stage of development. Feeding Schedule * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L * pH Plus — adjusted when necessary * Lemon Kick — adjusted when necessary The objective during these first weeks isn’t rapid top growth—it’s establishing a healthy root system capable of supporting explosive development once flowering begins. A strong foundation always pays dividends later. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development Watching this week’s progression has been incredibly satisfying. The earliest photographs show a delicate young seedling still carrying its juvenile characteristics. By the end of the week, however, the transformation is obvious. The stem has thickened considerably. Leaf spacing has become more symmetrical. The newest growth appears increasingly vigorous. Most encouraging of all is the transition into beautifully formed three-finger leaves, signalling that the plant has fully entered active vegetative development. Each new node displays noticeably more energy than the previous one, suggesting that the initial establishment period is already behind her. Despite being the smallest plant in the room, she doesn’t appear weak. Quite the opposite—she appears determined. ⸻ 📸 Behind This Week’s Photos Sometimes the smallest plants create the most rewarding photographs. The early overhead images capture a tiny seedling standing almost alone within a large container, emphasizing just how much potential still lies beneath the surface. As the week progresses, every photograph tells a different story. The side profiles reveal a stem becoming stronger each day, while the overhead shots beautifully document the increasing symmetry of the canopy. One of my favorite moments is seeing those first fully developed three-finger leaves spreading confidently across the frame. They’re small, but perfectly formed, and they represent the moment where Candy Rain truly begins her journey. Macro photography reminds us that growth doesn’t always happen dramatically. Sometimes the biggest victories are measured in millimetres. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Forward Next week should be particularly exciting. With the root system now becoming established, I expect noticeably faster vertical growth, larger fan leaves and shorter intervals between new nodes. The gap separating Candy Rain from the rest of the room should gradually begin to shrink. Autos often surprise us with sudden bursts of development once they settle into their final containers, and there are already signs that she may be preparing for exactly that. Her story isn’t about catching up. It’s about revealing what she’s capable of. ⸻ 💚 Thank You As always, thank you to every single person following this adventure. Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’ve only just discovered this diary, your encouragement, feedback and conversations are what make documenting every week so rewarding. This project isn’t simply about growing plants—it’s about learning together, sharing experiences and celebrating every stage of the journey. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a platform where growers from all over the world can learn from one another and document their passion. My sincere thanks also go to Plagron for providing the Terra nutrient line that is powering this entire 8×8 Adventure. Their products continue to deliver consistency, simplicity and reliability throughout every stage of growth. Finally, thank you to the incredible breeders whose genetics make projects like this possible. Every seed carries its own personality, and watching those differences unfold under identical conditions is one of the most fascinating parts of this journey. And of course… Growers Love and, Thank you for taking the time to follow along. One week at a time. One photograph at a time. One plant at a time. The 8×8 Adventure is only just getting started. 🌱💚
