🌱 Week 2 — Purple CousKush Auto | Pheno A | The Little Rebel Finds Her Way Every grow has that one plant that keeps you guessing. When Purple CousKush Auto Pheno A first emerged, she immediately stood out from her sisters. Instead of developing the classic central growing tip, her apical meristem seemed confused, almost as if nature had decided to improvise. At first glance I honestly wondered if she had naturally topped herself, if the main shoot had stalled, or if she was simply going to remain a tiny mutant. Rather than intervene, I decided to do what every grower should occasionally do… Nothing. Sometimes the best decision is to step back and allow the plant to tell her own story. A week later, she has done exactly that. The strange beginning has transformed into one of the most interesting phenotypes in the room. Instead of forcing a single dominant leader, she has begun producing multiple vigorous growing tips from the center, creating a naturally compact structure that already looks fuller than expected for her age. She may be smaller than her sisters, but she certainly isn’t weaker. In fact, she seems to have invested her energy into building a sturdy frame with very tight internodal spacing. The stem is becoming thicker every day, side branches are developing evenly, and the new growth is vibrant, healthy, and full of life. Her architecture is completely different from the other Purple CousKush phenotypes, reminding us why growing from seed is always such an adventure. Every individual expresses the genetics in its own unique way. This is exactly why I love documenting these grows. If I had judged her during Week 1, I might have assumed she would never become anything special. Instead, patience has rewarded me with one of the most fascinating little plants in the entire 8×8 Adventure. Sometimes the odd ones simply need a little extra time before revealing their true personality. Environment remains stable inside the tent, with temperature, humidity and VPD staying right where I want them. The Plagron substrate continues to provide an excellent home for healthy root development, while the Zamnesia ecosystem keeps everything running smoothly under consistent lighting and airflow. For now, there is nothing to correct. No stress. No intervention. Just observation. I’ll continue letting her write her own story while I simply provide the conditions she needs to thrive. If Week 2 has taught me anything, it’s this: Not every champion starts with a perfect beginning. Some simply take the scenic route. 💚 Growers Love and thank you to Plagron, Zamnesia, Grow Diaries, and everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every week reminds me that every seed carries its own personality, and this little Purple CousKush has already become one of the most memorable characters in the garden.

10/08/2024 Lights On! Week 8 12/08/2024 Lights On! Looking good; phattening up! Mid-day: Dimmed to 420watts The buds are right under the canopy are showing signs of slight fishtailing. Reasons for dimming light! As they start to mature dimming of the light for 2-3days is needed. They are getting bigger! Will have to raise scrog net soon for support 🙏🙌👍 14/08/2024 Lights On! Increased light to 490watts! Mid-day! Video 60fps FHD Light needs turning down Dimmed backs to 420watts!

This is a strain that is very easy to grow and resistant, after the fourth week it sticks a lug, and does not need a lot of vitamins, it grew with only 13 and 12 hours of light and went through cloudy days and a lot of humidity

7.14.25. Harvest was 7.13. Glad this grow is over time to finish up! Wet bud was 22.5 grams Bud looks decent sticky and smells pungent! Will starting next grow in month or 2! Thanks for checking out grow!

Really resistance to anything that is causing her stress and as always really good yields even in worst case scenarios.

Frosty as hell and starting to stink. Photos/video taken 77 days after breaking soil, day 35 of flower.

On the first day of week 4 I did topping on the plant at 6 node. Up to this point the plant has been growing very strong and healthy as fast as Autos I have grow before. Day 22 the plant doesn't seem stressed out at all and in fact is pumping New Growth right away I thought it was going to be sad for a day or two but no way the genetics are very strong the plant is very vigorous and their leaves are starting to smell very strong to the touch and just growing by themselves. Day 24 I did some minor defoliation to allow the light to penetrate everywhere in the plant. I will continue to update thank you for reading and have a happy grow.

still growing fast as fuck. i was falling more and more in love with her as time passed. she was showing signs of hunger so i gave her, her first feed of veg nutes on december 5th 2021. I mixed 1/2 tsp to each gallon. I used a bucket with 3 gallons of dechlorinated tap water. Decmber 8th: same amount of veg to gallons of water with the same 1/2 tsp. phd to 6.4. December 10th gave her a feed honestly dont know how much. id say about 10-20 cups worth of dechlorinated tap water with 1/2 tsp of veg nutes to 3 gallons.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la septima semana de floración de estas Black muffin F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros y el trasplante se realizó correctamente. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las jodidas han estirado bastante, ya veremos que ocurre como va todo. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Both of the girls are really packing on the weight now. These are their last week or two. Haven't decided whether I'm going to harvest this week or next. But you'll see a harvest post soon, I'm sure :) It doesn't look like left is quite ready for harvest(white hairs popping up still), but I'm going to chop them both at the same time, regardless. I may do so a bit later on account of left being behind. If anything, I'll just harvest right, then do left a week or so later. Cheers everyone! Really like this strain, but it does have quite ugly leaves lmao. Update: The girls officially got the chop on the 20th. They've been drying ever since. Did a leaf strip and then hung em up. Stay tuned next week for a grow/smoke report :) Harvested at about 90% cloudy 10% amber trichs. The smell is incredible! I can smell it as soon as I open the door to the room they're drying in. This was a pretty fun grow, but I don't think I'll be running this strain again during the winter. Looking for more hardy strains to better handle our fluctuating climate.

Things are looking good. I'm in a bit of a time crunch so I think I'm going to harvest early. Sometime this week probably, just shy of 8 weeks. Cool strain to grow. Very interesting calyx formations at the crowns. I dried a couple small buds and threw them in my vape a few days later and the terpenes seem great. Can't wait to see how it tastes fully cured. I'm going to wash and decarb the buds before curing them, and I've never done that before, so I'll post that here too. Thanks to everyone who read and commented! Happy growing!

december 20th gave her half a gallon of dechlorinated tap water phd to 6.6 with 1/2 tsp of bloom nutes to each 3 gallons of water. runoff tested at 6.3 ph. she was showing a few deficiencies

🥒 Project Blue Tent – Week 8 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno B (Folder 14B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If you're discovering this diary for the first time, welcome aboard! Project Blue Tent follows four individual plants from seed all the way through harvest, with each phenotype receiving her own dedicated diary. All four sisters share the same tent, lighting, irrigation, nutrition, environmental conditions and overall training strategy. The idea is simple: Keep the variables as consistent as possible and let the genetics tell the story. And this week... The story is getting very interesting. Because all four girls have entered flowering with absolutely no intention of slowing down. Today we're giving the spotlight to Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant B. And once again... She's shining. 💙🌱 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week Eight – Flower Has Arrived The Blue Tent has officially entered the next chapter. After seven full weeks of vegetation, we're now running 12/12, and the response from the plants has been immediate. Plant B is now sitting around 81 cm, compared with approximately 60 cm when we finished the vegetative phase. That's a serious amount of growth in a very short period. And what's particularly impressive is that the plants aren't simply stretching upward. They're developing everywhere. The branches are extending. New growth is appearing rapidly. Flowering sites are becoming more obvious every day. And the first real signs of bud development are now beautifully visible throughout Plant B's structure. This is the point where all those weeks of preparation start becoming meaningful. The SCROG gave us the structure. The defoliation opened the canopy. The training created the framework. And now... Flowering is filling that framework. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant B Plant B continues to be one of those girls that makes me stop and look twice. Her foliage is lush, vibrant and beautifully green, and the overall health of the plant is exactly where I want it to be. The developing flowers are progressing quickly, with fresh pistils and new growth appearing throughout the canopy. And despite the speed at which she's developing, she's still maintaining a remarkably even structure. That's something I really appreciate about this phenotype. She has always been a cooperative plant. She responds well to training. She builds strong lateral growth. And even now, with flowering underway and the stretch accelerating, she's still giving us a canopy that is relatively easy to manage. At least... As easy as four extremely vigorous plants can be. 😂 ──────────────────────── 💥 Super Cropping – Keeping the Canopy Under Control The biggest challenge right now isn't getting these girls to grow. They've already made that part very clear. The challenge is managing how quickly they're growing. We're continuing to use super cropping on selected branches as another tool for managing the most vigorous vertical growth. The idea is to reduce the dominance of certain shoots, redistribute growth and encourage stronger branching points as the plants continue developing. And these girls are making me work for it. I'll carefully work a branch down... Come back later... And somehow it's already standing back up again. 😂🌱 They're determined. But that's actually what makes this stage so interesting. We're not trying to stop their natural growth. We're trying to work with it. The canopy is already very even, and we're simply making small interventions where necessary to keep the most aggressive growth from getting too far ahead. Whether we'll successfully keep everybody compact throughout the stretch? Well... Let's see. They certainly haven't read that part of the plan. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Bud Formation – Things Are Moving Quickly One of the most exciting changes this week is the speed of flower development. We're only at the beginning of flowering, yet Plant B is already showing beautiful formation throughout the canopy. The sites we've spent weeks creating and positioning are now beginning to transform. Pistils are appearing. Clusters are becoming more defined. And every day there's another little sign that tells me: We're properly in flower now. This is one of those moments where you can finally see the purpose behind all the earlier work. The individual branches aren't just branches anymore. They're becoming future flowers. And Plant B has plenty of them. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Seven Weeks of Vegetation – Was It Too Much? Looking at Plant B now, I'm still wondering whether I gave these girls too much vegetative time. Seven weeks of vegetation is considerably longer than I normally run. Usually, I'd flip earlier. But the extra time gave us something valuable: A very established canopy. Strong branches. A developed root system. And a structure capable of supporting a lot of flowering growth. The downside is becoming very obvious now. These plants have an incredible amount of momentum. They grew from roughly 60 cm to around 81 cm incredibly quickly, and they're still moving. So there is definitely a little bit of: "What have I created?" 😂 happening in the grow room right now. But worrying about it isn't going to make the plants grow slower. We've prepared them. We've trained them. We've opened the canopy. We're managing the stretch. Now we watch. And we see where these girls want to take us. ──────────────────────── 💡 Strong Light From the Beginning The transition into flowering also means we're starting with approximately 800 PPFD across the canopy. I want these girls to have strong light available from the beginning of flower rather than slowly creeping toward higher intensity. They're already extremely vigorous, so the idea is to give them the photons they need while closely observing how the canopy responds. The challenge is balancing that strong light with the environmental conditions and the very significant stretch we're already seeing. I'm particularly interested in seeing whether the combination of strong light and continued canopy management can help keep the plants from becoming excessively elongated. Because if there's one thing Plant B has demonstrated this week... It's that she has absolutely no shortage of energy. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment The room continues to run with remarkably consistent conditions across all four sisters. This week's recorded averages were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 27°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 67% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution: 19.1°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.81 • ⚡ EC: 2.09 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 666 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.4 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 8 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 81 cm One thing that continues to stand out is the relatively small difference between day and night temperatures. We're sitting around 27°C for both. That can contribute to continued stretching, and considering how quickly these girls are already growing, it's something I'm keeping firmly in mind. But for now, Plant B is responding beautifully. Healthy foliage. Strong development. Rapid flower formation. And no obvious signs that she's unhappy with her environment. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding – Supporting the Transition The flowering nutrition is now established. Current feeding: • Plagron Hydro A — 2 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 2 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L • pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L • pH Min — 0.03 ml/L Current EC: 2.09 mS/cm pH: 5.81 The plants are consuming aggressively and developing extremely quickly, so the nutritional strategy is now supporting that transition without making unnecessary changes simply for the sake of changing something. Plant B's colour is exactly what I want to see. That beautiful, lush green foliage is telling me that she's handling the current program very well. And when I look at the flowering sites developing throughout the canopy... I'm certainly not seeing a plant asking me to interfere. So for now: We stay consistent. Observe. Measure. Adjust only when necessary. ──────────────────────── 💧 The Drip & Drainage System – One Continuous Loop The automatic irrigation and drainage setup has become one of my favourite parts of this project. Plant B is now receiving approximately 1.4 litres of nutrient solution every 24 hours through the drip irrigation system. The process is beautifully simple. The drippers deliver the nutrient solution directly to the coco. The solution passes through the substrate and feeds the root zone. The resulting runoff drains into the collection trays underneath the grow bags. From there, the drainage pipe carries the water toward the pump. The pump removes the collected runoff and returns it toward the reservoir, creating a recirculating irrigation and drainage loop. Water goes in. The plants use what they need. Runoff is collected. The pump moves it away. And the system continues its cycle. It's a remarkably elegant setup when everything is working properly. And right now... It is working wonderfully. The plants are growing rapidly, their water demand is increasing, and the system is keeping irrigation consistent without requiring me to manually water four increasingly thirsty plants every day. That consistency is especially valuable in a project where we're deliberately trying to keep the four sisters under comparable conditions. It's another variable we can keep controlled while we watch the genetics express themselves. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ Managing the Canopy During the Stretch The SCROG has already done its main job. Now we're using the structure we've created to manage flowering growth. The canopy remains impressively even. There are no huge dominant towers completely taking over the room. Instead, the flowering sites are distributed across the surface we've spent weeks building. But the stretch is happening quickly. So we're continuing to watch the taller shoots and selectively using training and super cropping where necessary. This isn't about constantly manipulating the plant. It's about making small corrections before a branch becomes a major problem. A little intervention now can be much easier than trying to fix an overly dominant branch later. And Plant B has responded very well so far. She's stretching... But she's stretching into a structure. That's exactly what I wanted. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant B's Personality Is Still There This is one of my favourite things about Project Blue Tent. From above, the four sisters can look almost identical. Same tent. Same lights. Same irrigation. Same nutrients. Same environment. And yet... Spend enough time with them and their personalities start becoming obvious. Plant B remains one of the more naturally cooperative phenotypes. She's vigorous, but her structure remains usable. She's growing rapidly, but the canopy hasn't become chaotic. She's producing flowering sites quickly, while maintaining that beautiful green foliage we've been watching since vegetation. And now she's showing another characteristic: She doesn't seem particularly interested in slowing down. 😂🌱 Which, honestly, is a pretty good problem to have. ──────────────────────── 🌸 From Canopy to Flowers There is something incredibly satisfying about looking at Plant B now and remembering what she looked like only a few weeks ago. Back then, we were talking about: Topping. SCROG. Empty squares. Branch positioning. Defoliation. Canopy management. Now we're talking about: Flowering sites. Pistils. Stretch. Bud formation. And eventually... Bulk. That's the transition we've been working toward. The plant has moved from building the machine to using the machine. The canopy is the foundation. Now the flowers get to take over the story. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead The next couple of weeks should be fascinating. All four sisters are moving incredibly quickly, and Plant B is right there with them. We'll continue managing the canopy as needed. We'll keep an eye on the stretch. Super cropping will remain one of the tools available when individual branches get too ambitious. The irrigation system will continue providing its consistent cycle. The flowering nutrition will continue supporting development. And the environmental conditions will remain under close observation. Most importantly... We don't need to panic about the speed. Yes, they're growing fast. Yes, I may have kept them in vegetation longer than usual. Yes, the warm nights aren't exactly helping us keep the stretch compact. But the plants are healthy. The canopy is remarkably even. The flowers are forming beautifully. And Plant B is looking absolutely fantastic. So... Let's see where this goes. 🌸💙 ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics phenotype by phenotype. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the Premium Growbags and Hydro nutrient line supporting these girls throughout their journey and now through the beginning of flowering. A special thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting helping us create such a strong, even canopy and now providing the intensity we're using during the transition into flower. And a massive thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system. Watching the drippers, coco, runoff collection, drainage lines, pump and reservoir work together has been incredibly satisfying. The system has become an important part of keeping the entire room consistent. Thank you as well to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can document their journeys, exchange experiences and learn together. And finally... Thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. 💙 Plant B has officially entered flowering. She's stretching. She's building flowers. She's producing lush, beautiful growth. And she's making it very clear that seven weeks of vegetation gave her plenty of momentum. 😂🌱 For now, the canopy remains beautifully even. The flowers are developing quickly. The super cropping is helping us manage the most ambitious branches. The irrigation system is doing its job. The nutrition is supporting the transition. And Plant B... Well... She's simply shining. Four sisters. One environment. One experiment. And four plants that somehow manage to make every week more interesting. Let's see what the next chapter brings. Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

I have officially reached the "Maximum Bulk" milestone. The transition from the Day 30 aka the "golf ball" phase to the Day 49 "spear" phase has been explosive, with the colas effectively doubling in density over the last two weeks. By pushing an aggressive 1.80 kPa VPD alongside a 1.6 EC feed, I’ve forced these plants into a metabolic sprint.

Similar conditions as last week, but the plant is getting bigger, so is drinking more, I was finally able to feed the plant 2 times in one week. This week I also introduced a foliar spray. I applied the foliar spray 1h after the lights turned off, next time I need to give it a bit earlier, right after the lights turn off. I also used Mycorrhizae this week as well I feel that the initial problems that I had been solved, the plant is growing at a normal pace now. DAY 30 - Water PH - 5.80 PPM- 531 Solution Temp - 22 Watering Volume - 2L DAY 33 - Nutes PH - 6.02 PPM- 1600 Solution Temp - 21 Watering Volume - 1.2L Foliar Spray PH - 5.21 PPM- 1450 Solution Temp - 21 Watering Volume - 100 ml

Week 4 day 2 since i start germination, and i think they are evolving quite ok. CS1 is for now the queen in all aspects, shes the stronger, the most beautiful formation with no problems what so ever , CS2 is following and CS 3 also but with mutant leaves all over her, i will however keep giving her love and dedication, mb in the end she compensate with some beautiful flowers 🤞 As for the Tropicannas, TP2 its an amazing girl, no mutations and growing as it should, TP1 is recovering fast from her accident 😅🤞 and she is on the way to become a strong and beautiful girl. They are adapting super well to the new ligth 😅 one less solution to find 👌 Day 27 veg And I’ve been kind off busy, sorry i miss 2 days of updates, but between this 5 girls, my veg room and harvesting my flower run, time only stretches so much since one still have a life beyond the love gardens 😅 but non or less here we are and they look fantastic 🤩😆 all showing strong genetics and i thing i will have different phenotypes on the Chocolate department lets see😁 so far the strongest CS still is number one and number three still mutating her self from day one 😆 but she will take all my love till the end ( we never know ) on the Tropicana department, both looking amazing, number one completely recovered from the led accident 😅 end growing in a way t hat i start to think that she will catch up with the rest pretty soon 🤞TP2 is now the tallest plant of them all With 16cm high 👏 Day 28 veg No updates , all going as it should 😅🤞 Little battle between Topicanna Poisen from @sweetseeds vs Chocolate Skunk from @00Seeds (just for fun) TP = Tropicana Poison CS = Chocolate Skunk All i grow is medecine for myself, nothing to sell, dont even ask !!!! Stay safe and do it with love for the love ❤️ 🙏
