The voodoo juice x platinum hermed this week so moved it to it's own tent. We have 6 plants remaining in the room. I cut out the maxigro this week. They are getting .5 tsp per gallon of maxibloom now. Seems to be keeping everyone happy. Not much to report other than that. Buds seem to be progressing pretty nice.

Looking For a Keeper cream of the crop seeds purple paralysis 10th March 2021 So Far So Good for these two , it hasn't rained again since the last downpour but the clouds hanging around this afternoon look very ominous indeed. ๐Ÿ˜ I only water early morning now so that the soil is fairly dry again on top by the time the sun sets in the evening. this is to limit the extra moisture that could hinder the plants resistance to mold . I also gave them a good old feed of my Worm castings tea mixed with Mollasses & Seaweed mix. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช Cheers for stopping by ๐Ÿ‘

Day 49-56 (June 18th - 25th) (Day 51) Slurricanes and tuna are doing excellent despite their hail damaged leaves. Iโ€™m seeing good growth and decent dry downs. One of them looks like itโ€™s been ravaged by pests but I still canโ€™t find any evidence or signs of a pest. Iโ€™m suspecting caterpillars so Iโ€™m going to grab some BTK killer and also some all purpose insecticide sometime this week if I have time. The clones are all really lagging so they wonโ€™t be flipped until July 15th at least. Iโ€™m still not seeing normal growth on any of them yet. Itโ€™s still quite gnarled and twisted. (Day 52) The slurricane and tuna roots are starting to poke through the bottom of my pots. This is usually from underwatering, a thick soil or a hot root zone. Iโ€™m going to give everything except for the autos a good watering with some runoff. I am going to start incorporating 5mm sand into all of my soil mixes to help make the soil more loamy and give it some better drainage. I will also top dress every container and bed plant I have. (Day 53) I was at a local department store today and I was shocked to see pallets of Destiny dark matter soil selling for 60% off! I bought 10 bags for a hundred bucks. At any hydro store that would have costed me 250 at least. I might go grab more because it looks like no one is buying it for 60% off even. (Day 54) Iโ€™m going to be harvesting both of my indoor crops today and tomorrow or the next day I am going to be reusing the soil-coco blend for the slurricanes. Iโ€™m first going to till it, add a gallon of sea compost, a gallon of Destiny soil and a few cups of 5mm sand per container. I will use the excess for 5 gal pots. I will be amending with: 5 tablespoons of natureโ€™s pride bloom 4 tablespoons of kelp meal 2 tablespoons of Gaia green AP 2 tablespoons of glacial rock dust 2 tablespoons of oyster shell flour 2 tablespoons of alfalfa meal 1 tablespoon of rock dust blend 1/4 teaspoon of langbeinite (Day 56) The autos are really making a comeback now. I was under the impression that I was working against the clock and they would start flowering after 3-5 weeks. I guess if theyโ€™re stunted from the cold they will delay flowering. I donโ€™t see any pistils or signs of flowering yet so I donโ€™t think theyโ€™ve officially started flowering yet I didnโ€™t get a chance to do my transplant this week or pest control. I will get to it ASAP because my photos are drinking almost a liter a day

Cheese XXL is the third commercially available edition released by Original Sensible using and developing these Afghan and Skunk genetics. The first release of these genetics was their Skunk Afghani. The second improved version was Stinkin' Bishop which had an improved and more potent THC content and was more pungent in terms of smell. Now the third and improved release on a similar theme is this Cheese XXL which has a similar THC content but with an improved heavier yield. The smoke is incredible with an outstanding flavour of pungent skunk and spicy, extra strong mature cheese created by the dominant terpene myrcene with its strong earthy scent accompanied by caryophyllene and pinene which combine to create a peppery acrid cheesy odour. THC levels are exceptionally high in this Cheese strain and the effect is well-balanced creating mental and body relaxation with a remarkable alleviation of stress and depression. The strong pungent aroma starts early in the flowering period, if you're growing Cheese XXL indoors you'll need plenty of ventilation to disperse the stinky "road kill" aroma of these babies! Cheese XXL is a Cheese strain particularly suited to indoor setups but also thriving well outdoors these feminised marijuana seeds are incredibly resistant to mould and disease and produce a substantial harvest that both the professional and amateur growers alike can easily achieve. These Cheese weed seeds are outstanding, break open the buds ready for use and you'll see why, the stench will make your eyes water! Cheese XXL from Original Sensible Seeds is a great choice to break into the commercial market of growing cannabis so if you're looking to buy something special with extreme yield, potency and flavour then Cheese XXL cannabis seeds are simply the best choice

week 3 flower is going great. I increased my UVA lights to 8 hrs on. Gsc and Blueberry have decent bud-lets already on day 17. OG kush has preflowers. waiting on Blueberry muffin to show pre fowers should be soon. At the end of week 3 GSC and Blueberry are doing the best and starting to get more trichomes. Im waiting on OG kush And Blueberry Muffin to really get going!

The plant tolerated the repotting well. The nutrient-rich soil has provided a good growth. As the pot is now larger, I have also increased the amount of watering. This week it will be watered every 2 days with about 350-400ml of rainwater. Last week I prepared a nettle manure to provide additional nitrogen fertiliser. As it has just been repotted, I won't be giving the fertiliser until next week. The weather remains consistently good. The daytime temperature fluctuated between 19 and 24 degrees. The plant now also stays outside at night. I hope the weather stays as good as in the previous weeks.

๐Ÿ’œ Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 13 โœจ The Macro World Has Entered the Chat โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’œ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And this week... I think we need to get a little closer. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because from across the room, Purple CousKush Pheno A already looks beautiful. But then you pick up the camera... You move closer... And then closer again... And suddenly... OH MY GOD. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ The macro world is absolutely ridiculous. The density. The frost. The trichomes. The detail. The way the flowers are packed together. It's one of those moments where you think you already know what the plant looks like... and then the macro lens basically says: "No. You have seen NOTHING yet." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ And that's exactly what happened with this girl this week. Purple CousKush Pheno A is shining. But when we stop looking at her as a whole plant and start looking at the individual flowers... WOW. Just wow. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ WEEK 13 โ€“ WELCOME TO THE MACRO WORLD This week, the big story isn't really about the overall plant. It's about what's happening inside the flowers. Because from a normal distance, she looks beautiful. But the closer we get... the more impressive she becomes. The flowers are dense. The trichome coverage is incredible. The resin production is absolutely catching my attention. And the amount of detail packed into these little structures is just... beautiful. โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ This is exactly why I love photography. You can walk into the room every day and look at the same plant. You know she's beautiful. You know she's frosty. You know she's developing. But then you photograph her properly... and suddenly you discover another world. A microscopic little universe hiding inside the flowers. And Purple CousKush is giving us a VERY nice view of that universe. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ THE FROST IS NO JOKE Let's talk about the obvious. The frost. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ Because this girl is absolutely covered. When you're looking at the plant normally, you already see that beautiful frosty appearance. But once we start moving into the macro world... it's a completely different story. Trichomes everywhere. Structures covered in resin. Little details that you simply cannot appreciate from a normal distance. And that's what makes these photographs so satisfying. You suddenly realize just how much is happening on every flower. It's not just: "Nice frosty plant." It's: "Wait... HOW MUCH FROST IS ACTUALLY ON THIS THING?" ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ And then you zoom in again. And somehow... there's even more. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ DENSE. BEAUTIFUL. PACKED. Another thing that's really catching my attention is the density. The flowers aren't just visually frosty. They're looking beautifully packed together. There is so much structure happening inside these little flowers that the macro photographs almost make them look like completely different plants. From across the room: Beautiful flowering plant. From close range: A little forest of flowers, resin and trichomes. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฌ That's one of the things I love about this stage. The plant has already built the structure. Now we get to appreciate the details inside it. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is giving us plenty of details to appreciate. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE CAMERA I honestly think photography changes the way you grow. Not because the camera does anything to the plant... but because it makes you LOOK. Really look. You stop. You focus. You examine. You notice things you might otherwise walk straight past. And when I start looking at Purple CousKush through the macro lens... I can easily lose myself in there. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ One flower becomes another photograph. Another angle reveals another layer. The trichomes catch the light. The pistils create contrast. The flower structure becomes almost architectural. And suddenly... I've forgotten that I was supposed to be doing something else. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This is the kind of photography I really enjoy. Not just taking a picture of a plant. Actually exploring the plant. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ I MAY HAVE MIXED UP THE STACKS And now I have to confess something. I may have mixed up some of the stacking photographs between Purple CousKush Pheno A and her sister. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ When you're dealing with this many photographs, this many merged stacks and two sisters developing alongside each other... well... sometimes the photographer becomes part of the experiment. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ So I'm dividing some of those beautiful macro results between this report and the next one. And honestly? I'm not even disappointed. Because the funny part is... both girls are looking absolutely incredible when we get close. Both are showing amazing frost. Both have beautiful flower structures. Both are giving us those ridiculous trichome-covered macro views. So even if I accidentally swapped a few stacks... I know I'm not losing anything. The next report will give her sister her own spotlight too. And you'll understand exactly what I mean. These two girls are absolutely worth getting close to. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘€ THE ROOM VIEW VS. THE MACRO VIEW This is another thing I love about the 8ร—8 Adventure. You can look at the room... and see twelve plants. You can look at an individual plant... and see one phenotype. Then you take a macro photograph... and suddenly you're looking at something completely different again. It's almost like three different levels of observation. ๐ŸŒฟ The room. ๐ŸŒธ The plant. ๐Ÿ”ฌ The flower. And each level tells you something different. The room tells us how different the genetics are behaving together. The plant tells us the phenotype's overall personality. The macro photograph tells us what is happening inside the flowers. And this week... the macro world is winning. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’œ PURPLE COUSKUSH IS STILL KEEPING ME CURIOUS Even after all these weeks, I still find myself looking at this girl and thinking: "What exactly are you going to become?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ She continues to evolve. She continues to develop. And now that we're looking this closely, I'm becoming even more interested in the details. The flower density. The resin. The trichomes. The way the individual structures are developing. Everything is becoming more pronounced. And I don't want to force a conclusion. I want to let her show us. That's one of the most enjoyable parts of this entire project. We start with genetics. We provide the same general environment. And then... we watch the genetics speak. Purple CousKush is speaking pretty loudly right now. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME ROOM. DIFFERENT EXPRESSION. And once again, we come back to the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting ecosystem. Same overall nutritional philosophy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And completely different expressions. That's what makes this project so much fun. You can't simply say: "This is what the genetics do." Because which plant? Which phenotype? Which individual expression? The sisters can be right beside each other and still give us different stories. And that's exactly what we're documenting. Purple CousKush Pheno A has her own story. Her sister has hers. And now we're getting to see those stories in microscopic detail. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME PHOTONS. DIFFERENT RESULT. The lighting environment remains part of the same upgraded Future of Grow Black Series setup we've been running throughout the room. The additional Black Series 600W fixtures continue giving the room more lighting capability and flexibility. But once again... the interesting part isn't simply the light. It's what the plants do with it. The same artificial sun shines over the room. The same photons reach the canopy. And then... the genetics decide what happens. Purple CousKush has taken those photons and turned them into this. Flowers. Density. Resin. Trichomes. And an absolutely ridiculous macro subject. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ That's the experiment. We provide the stage. The genetics put on the performance. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ THE BIG WORK IS STILL BEHIND US And just like the previous weeks... there isn't much for me to do physically with this girl. And that's actually a good thing. The major structural work has already happened. The room is established. The plants are established. The flowers are established. Now? We maintain. We observe. We document. And we let the plants continue doing what they already know how to do. Sometimes growing means doing things. Sometimes growing means making decisions. And sometimes... growing means standing there with a camera saying: "Jesus Christ..." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ I'll happily accept that job. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THE MACRO WORLD NEVER GETS OLD I have to admit... I really love macro photography. There is something almost addictive about seeing these flowers at that level of detail. You start looking at one trichome. Then another. Then the surrounding resin. Then the flower structure. Then suddenly you're completely lost. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌโ„๏ธ It's like entering another world. And that's why I don't mind spending time with these photographs. Because when you get a result like this... it's not just documentation anymore. It's appreciation. You're looking at something the naked eye simply cannot fully appreciate. And Purple CousKush is giving us a fantastic subject for it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ EVERY STACK TELLS A LITTLE STORY One of the things I enjoy about stacking photographs is that it lets us capture details that a single frame simply can't communicate in the same way. A flower isn't just one flat object. It's depth. Layers. Different surfaces. Different structures. And when all of those little details come together... you get an image that makes you stop. That's what I'm seeing with these Purple CousKush photographs. And honestly... some of them make me want to keep going. Another stack. Another flower. Another angle. Another close-up. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ But eventually... the camera battery wins. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ SUPER FROSTY. SUPER DENSE. SUPER BEAUTIFUL. If I had to summarize the visual impression of this week in three words: Frosty. Dense. Beautiful. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ That's it. The flowers are looking fantastic. The trichome coverage is impressive. The density is becoming increasingly obvious. And the macro photographs really bring everything together. This is one of those weeks where I don't need to over-explain what I'm seeing. The photographs are doing most of the talking. And I love that. Because sometimes... you don't need a thousand words. You just need to look closer. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’œ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ THE PHOTOGRAPHER HAS A PROBLEM And that problem is... I keep wanting to photograph everything. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ You get one beautiful macro. Then you think: "Okay, that's enough." Then you move the camera slightly. "OH... wait." Another photograph. Then another. Then another. And suddenly you've spent far too much time staring at one flower. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But honestly? I don't mind. Because this is one of the parts of the grow I genuinely enjoy. The plants give us the subject. The camera lets us explore it. And the macro world gives us something completely different to appreciate. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ LET HER FLOWERS SPEAK At this stage, I don't need to tell Purple CousKush what to do. She's already doing it. The flowers are developing. The density is there. The frost is there. The resin is there. The structure is there. And now we're simply watching the final stages unfold. That's the beautiful thing about reaching this part of the journey. You start to see the result of everything that came before. All the earlier decisions. All the earlier growth. All the earlier work. Now... we get to appreciate it. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? At this point, I'm watching the details. โ„๏ธ Trichome development. ๐ŸŒธ Flower development. โš–๏ธ Density and structure. ๐Ÿ’œ Overall expression. ๐Ÿ“ธ And, of course, whatever the macro lens decides to reveal next. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm not trying to predict the ending. I'm not trying to force a timeline. I'm simply watching. And enjoying. Because this girl is giving me plenty to enjoy. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ GIVE HER THE SPOTLIGHT Purple CousKush Pheno A deserves her spotlight this week. Not because something dramatic happened. Not because we changed everything. Not because she suddenly became a completely different plant. But because... when we looked closer... WOW. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ Sometimes the magic isn't visible from across the room. Sometimes you have to walk closer. And then closer again. And then put a macro lens in front of it. And that's where the magic is. So yes... this week belongs to Purple CousKush. Let's give her the spotlight. Let's get close. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate the trichomes. And let's enjoy the macro world. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€” SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK CLOSER Week 13. Purple CousKush Auto. Pheno A. And this week... I'm not going to overcomplicate it. She's shining. ๐Ÿ’œโœจ She's beautiful from a distance. She's even more beautiful up close. And when we enter the macro world? Absolutely ridiculous. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌโ„๏ธ The flower density. The resin. The trichomes. The detail. Everything is coming together beautifully. And yes... I may have mixed up a few of the stacking photographs between her and her sister. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But honestly? Looking at both girls closely has only made me more impressed. So we'll divide the evidence. Some beautiful macro shots for this girl. And her sister will get her own spotlight in the next report. Because both deserve it. For now... I'm simply enjoying this girl. I'm enjoying the flowers. I'm enjoying the photography. I'm enjoying the macro world. And I'm enjoying the fact that after all these weeks, Purple CousKush can still make me stop and say: "Wow." ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ That's what I want from this adventure. Not perfection. Not predictability. Discovery. And this girl is giving us plenty of that. So... let her shine. Let her keep developing. Let her keep showing us what she wants to become. And let's keep getting closer. Because apparently... the closer we look... the better it gets. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฌโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU Another week.

This week... you made me get closer. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌ From the room... to the plant... to the flower... to the macro world... and suddenly: WOW. โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ Super frosty. Super dense. Absolutely beautiful. And packed with those little details that make photography so damn enjoyable. So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep getting closer. And let's let the plant write the rest of the story. The big work is behind us. The flowers are doing the talking now. And the camera? Well... the camera is having the time of its life. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’œ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the plants keep evolving, the flowers keep getting denser, the trichomes keep sparkling, the macro lens keeps getting closer, and Purple CousKush keeps reminding us that sometimes... the real magic starts when you stop looking from across the room. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ Let her shine. And let's see what we discover when we look even closer. ๐Ÿ’œโœจ
