🌱 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.

Just waiting and watching trichomes & pistils. As of today all the trichomes are milky, but not all of the pistils have changed colour. A lot of them are still white. So on she goes!!! 😎

ill get more of these

Hello Hello 🙂 😇 🙃 Today is day number 50, firs day of week 8th 😇 I never ever grow so fast strains, FB seeds are a monsters 😇 💪 🙏 Update: Day 50 The Cinderella and the Bruce Banner start to show some deficiency of Cal and Mg as they flowering wildly. Not a big deal I just increase CalMag Agent from 0.3ml/l to 0,5ml/l plus I'll add BN Roots for better nutrients intake. I hope this will help 🙏 All the best, You Lovely Girls Growers 😇 💪 🙏

Day 98 😇 10% amber thricomes, bubble hash with lower side of the plants, I will show you also buds pics in harvest week. Time to dismantle the two growboxes and enjoy spring and summer 👋😎🌞

inicio floracion tecnica LST + poda Apical

This was a good grow, I was hoping for a bigger phenotype but overall I’m happy. She smells sweet and dank, all her flowers are pretty dense and compact. She has good resistance to stress and humidity considering her structure.

GENERAL COMMENT The SKR is dry and starting the cure in jars, and the NL is done. RQS NORTHERN LIGHTS AUTO COMMENT. This is the final week, next time will be the harvest, this girl just got mature from a day to the other, lost 70% of the top bud due to rot i haven t seen. So i could get virtually 30-40% yield from this girl Without the locks or rot, anyhow still looking ok as far as harvest, quality will be a bit compromise, not the end of times though lol! 🙃👊🏻👍🏻

After another weekend spent away from home, on day 26 both Opiums present at 30 cm height, having grown big and bushy. Their thirst increased, I will water them when their next day starts. And do some more LST. Not too long until I can install the scrogging net. I am really impressed by their progress. They developed a lot of branching side branches and look really healthy and bushy. In contrast to what I wrote before, I think I can stay a few days longer with the current 80% 18/6 lighting scheme. Leaf positions do not show signs of light hunger, so no reason to change. Watered them with 1.5 l each on their 27th morning, this time adding some flower fertilisers too. Compensated their relief with some more LST. I can see in timelapse video they are tmelselves compensating this stress easily; it’s amazing to see how fast they turn their heads. You’ll see soon too. For reference: Pot diameter is approx. 25 cm. So lady #1 spreads about this much, lady #2 is even about 10 cm more. Guess they’ll make a very dense scrog surface, but first let’s have them have their stretch. Day 28 evening revealed ladies are getting thirstier. The holey pots might be helpful in root development, but they are not when it comes to keeping the tent clean. Because of their structure, water runs out in respectable quantities each time they are fed, which takes a long time to evaporate and adds to air humidity of course. Which on the other hand is currently quite ok. Outside air temperatures are around 30 °C the last days, so a bit more humidity helps to keep the VPD in range. Which is quite ok as I still cannot complain about their growth – around 2–3 cm each day currently. Grow video for day 28 (sorry about the interferences! Due to the control hard- & software being offline I cannot silence the blower(s) when a photo is taken anymore) shows steady growth and very vivid movements again. Dropping of their leaves around their evening is possibly due to me watering them again as soil was surprisingly dry already. On their day 29 evening, it’s clear to see how much they are stretching: They really gained 5 cm since yesterday! Lights are close to 30 cm, so I think I’ll reposition things a bit when their next week starts. Attached video shows the day’s progress. They say you cannot scrog an Automatic but seeing the development speed and bushiness I decided to give it a try nonetheless. I guess the buds can profit from being a bit more apart from each other if I handle to fiddle them through the holes in time. I rearranged the lights to be at about 45 cm apart from the tops and set the lights to 100% at a 16/8 lighting scheme, waking them up one hour later than before and sending them to sleep one hour earlier. Last day of this week, day 30, shows that growth speed has even increased. Lady 1 crosses the scrog net already which is positioned at 46 cm above soil. Gave them slightly enhanced water again, 2 l each.

This has been an amazing growth once again and I got to do the compound genetics like been wanting to for a year. This stuff is so decked out

Cut her leaves today..fresh living soil..looks good at all..

2 october First of all... This girl was planted in a position under a tree. She is a real outdoor strain. I had succes with maroc in guerilla grows before. Sun hours are key. Having that in mind. The way this Outdoor Grapefruit performed in her bad spot is incredible. She grew away from the shady patch just like Maroc did. Meaning she was leaning and basicly I ended up scrogging her to face the southern side. The backside was of the net was empty. In a sunny spot this girl would have gone through the roof. She is super sticky. Amazingly fruity, my favourite strain outdoors this year. She performed wel in the cold and rain. Mould was everywhere but she managed best. Could have gone another week but forecast were bad and my planning did not allow that extra time. So many thing still left to do with such monster plants and incoming harvest. Ill keep you posted on weight, with budshots in the smoke report. Peace out✌️

👹08/20/2024 What's brackin fam let's get it!!!!👽 Sooo the girls are pushing along, doing well the pH swing is kinda high right now but this was kinda expected, but I am adjusting as I can, will lower ppm to 1600 next water change on Wednesday which is tommorow and will be keeping pH at around 6.0 will update as the week goes on!!! *********************************** 08/22/2204 Update my girls are legit fadding I have zero reason why Iight just flip clean sterilize and re run sorry again y'all keep y'all updated 😔 Well it's official the girls had died out to root rot I'm terribly sad for this...smfh

25day Grow... 25-27cm beautiful Girls. The last day of growth, 25 days and I switch to a flower..

Started training the plant. Trying to spread out the branches so they all are level and evenly getting light. Going to need to do some defoliation in the next week. Really happy with how this is turning out. Growing well and looking very healthy. Green in the leaves has darkened well too after giving the tea to fix the N deficiency.

So I put the EC higher now I did start whit NPK 20-40-30 EC now at 1.9 this is the first year I use this nutrition but it seems to work great!

Today is the first day of Week 6! This past week in the 4x4 “Blackbox” Tent, the front right Hella Jelly continued to thrive and push new growth, this one seems to be the most vigorous of the plants in the tent. The front left Hella Jelly struggled with some droopiness this past week, and one or two of her fan leaves had holes from what I’m guessing may have been a caterpillar or some other pest. I ended up cutting some of the lower fan leaves to keep the plant high away from the soil. The Vanilla Frosting in the back left was stunted a bit by the topping, but now she seems to be doing well, she is sturdy and the new growth seems healthy. Her sister on the right is two weeks behind and hasn’t really taken off since being transplanted. I’m hoping Week 6 (her Week 4) will be her week to really start pushing new growth. I needed to get the humidity higher in a couple of the tents and, not having any extra humidifiers available, I decided to try hanging a beach towel from a hanger in the tent. I dangled the end of the beach towel in a 5-gallon bucket of water, allowing it to wick up the moisture. This increased the humidity in the 4x4 by 20% (from 37%-57%). This was incredibly helpful because my “smart” humidifier is currently dedicated to the drying of my recent Apple Fritter harvest, and my other humidifier is not larger enough to maintain the humidity in the larger 5x9 tent for more than 18 hours before drying up. When watering the 4x4 this week, I added 1/4 tsp/gal of Quillaja extract, 1 tsp/gal of Rootwise “Mycrobe Complete,” and 1 oz/gal of Thrive “Holy Cow” Yah-Whey fermented extract. I also top dressed with Kashi Gold from BuildaSoil and worm castings (about 1/2-1 inch layer). I water 3 times this week, the goal being to maintain even moisture. The cover crop has been thriving, and by the end of the week it was time for a chop and drop. I did so and added it back to the soil and aLeo added more straw as a mulch layer. Something else that was exciting this week, was adding 2,000 worms to the 8 30-gallon living soil pots in the 5x9. Before I added the worms that I ordered(from Buckeye Organics), I tried using avocados, cut in half and laid face down on the beds of soil in the 4x4. This worked surprisingly well! The worms are very attracted to the avocado and end up creating a “worm ball” where they rub up against each other, reproducing and creating even MORE baby worms. I did this several times, moving the worm “orgies” to a few of the 30-gallon pots, simply by transferring the avocados. This was my first time using “avocado tech,” and I have to say, it worked SO well. Looking at upcoming Week 6, I’m hoping to see more growth from the 3 vigorous plants, and for the Vanilla Frosting that is a couple weeks behind, I’m hoping for her to begin filling out more. The goal is to flip to flower in the next 1-2 weeks, unless I decide we need to go longer. Full steam ahead!

Almost gone with the 24k gold strain. I'm pretty happy with the results I had.

hey guys so girls been transplant to new home for next few weeks to month all looking good under new LEDs . Got really nice node structure coming together on them and so far so good . Feeding them with plain r/o water with 5ml of calcium and magnesium supplements added to each 3 gallon bucket - started running my Aircon water back through my system as at current am recollecting around 20 litres a day with current temps outside soaring .til next week 😀

Started lst this week that's about it just cruzing. I do hate pics maybe it's my phone but they much greener in person.
