Day 127 - Watered/fed today. About 180 oz of water given, with 1/2 tsp Bloom, 1/2 tsp Mag Pro per gallon. It is anticipated that this is the last feed, and will be given water only, the next 2-3 feeds before harvest, to flush/fade the girl (come on autumn colors!). I happened to be searching a couple buds and found my first 3 amber trichs on a calyx. The final countdown has begun! Day 128 - Nothing to note, I was lucky to be around enough to get the photo. Day 129 - I feel like there has been some new calyx development over the last few days, but I am still going with my plan to flush 2-3 times before a harvest. I feel like if I was properly set up, and honestly stocked with current flower, I could probably let this thing go another 3 weeks (rookie grower thoughts), but I am still looking to harvest in 10-12 days. Talking to a few different people, ran a few ideas past me, but I think I am going with my plan for this first grow. Someone mentioned one more big bloom feed before a flush, but I think I'm just ready to be done feeding. The idea of 24 hours of darkness before harvest to 'boost trichs' was brought to me by another person, and I am still unsure of my thoughts on that plan. Day 130 - The 'flush' has begun. Today the plant was given 2 gallons of water, which is almost 50% more than was given with feed, as she had been getting 180oz or so of water. You can really tell the difference in the amount of runoff! Lets see how long she takes to really show a fade. Day 131 - I got nothing for today. Snapped a pic and bolted out of the house. Day 132 - Again, sadly, I got nothing for today. A picture and out the door. Day 133 - 11 weeks of flower are down. She was watered today, with another 2 gallons of water only. I added a small amount of new Mother Earth Coco Peat to the pot, in my mind, just to ensure that she doesn't fade out too quickly. Probably a bit unnecessary and may not help, but I did it anyways :) I originally planned on chopping likely at the end of this weekend, but I might see if she can hold out 2 more water only feeds, and chop next Thurday-Friday, at the end of the 12th week. I keep checking a few buds with the loupe, and still can barely find any amber, but also don't see any clear trichs. Either way, I am going to be anxious for this last week to finish up, then the real test of waiting will come, hanging and curing!

The 4th week of 12/12 went without any issues. Flowering is going on nicely and lots of white pistels are filling up the canopy. They still grew a little but the biggest stretch is over. This week the Runtz were fed once (ph 6,4 – ec 1,63) and on other days I gave ph adjusted tapwater (ph 6,4 – ec 0,5) or nothing if the airpots were still moist enough. Next week I'll start giving them some pk 13/14 for extra phosphorus and potassium and Remo nutrients Magnifical for some more calcium & magnesium. I've noticed that the left and right Runtz have a bit less green in their leafs and I think overwatering is the issue. Gonna give these ones less water and I'll see what the Magnifical will do. Temperatures stayed between 19 – 24 °C ( 66 – 75 °F) and humidity between 46 – 59 % I've raised the power of the airfan from 40% to 55% to lower humidity levels and next week a dehumidifier will enter the grow tent to lower levels even more. The cobs were lowered to 56cm (22 inch) and dimmed to 284 watt. See you next week! ✋ Do you want to grow this strain? 👉 https://www.zamnesia.com/6000-zamnesia-seeds-runtz-feminized.html 👈

Boax plants coning along strong. Grew about 2 inches this week. One plant is 19 inches, the other is 17 inches, I averaged the height as 18 inches for this weeks update. I'm going to take cuttings for clones from these girls soon. If you check the pics you should see that the taller of the 2 plants has a "Y" where the main stem split for some reason. I'm thinking cutting at the bottom of the Y would give me a good cutting/clone. But I'm open to any other advice/input on taking cuttings and cloning. I've done it once before successfully, but I'm no expert. Thanks all!

💜 Week 6 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno A) Every Branch Finds Its Purpose One of the greatest joys of growing multiple phenotypes is watching each plant reveal its own personality over time. Some rush into flower with explosive enthusiasm, while others take their time, quietly building the structure that will support everything to come. Since germination, this Purple CousKush has chosen the second path. Growing under the same conditions as every other lady in the 8×8 Adventure, she has patiently developed an elegant framework before fully committing her energy to bloom. Now, as Week 6 unfolds, that patience is beginning to pay off. The structure she spent weeks building is finally coming to life, with every branch proudly carrying fresh clusters of white pistils. Rather than relying on a single dominant cola, she is transforming into a beautifully balanced plant where each branch has a role to play. Sometimes the best performances begin with a slow introduction. 🌱 Plant Development This week has been all about progression. Standing at approximately 76 cm, she remains one of the taller ladies in the 8×8 Adventure, displaying a graceful sativa-leaning structure with long internodes and excellent spacing between flowering sites. The stretch is still present but beginning to settle, allowing the plant to redirect more of her energy towards flower production. Bud sites are now clearly established across every branch, and each day the clusters of bright white pistils become a little larger and a little more defined. The low-stress training performed during the early weeks continues to show its value. Light penetrates deep into the canopy, airflow remains excellent, and nearly every branch has developed into a potential flowering top. It's easy to imagine how these long stems will eventually carry elegant, well-stacked colas from top to bottom. She isn't trying to be the most compact plant in the room. She's building something entirely different. 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, allowing uninterrupted development. • 12/12 light schedule from seed • Future of Grow Black Series LED delivering approximately 850 PPFD • Mammoth Pro tent with excellent airflow • Day temperature around 29°C • Night temperature around 25°C • Relative humidity averaging 60% • CO₂ approximately 639 ppm • pH 6.0 • EC 1.78 mS/cm The reduction in humidity compared to previous weeks has created an ideal environment for flowering, while the stable temperatures continue encouraging healthy growth without signs of stress. The foliage remains vibrant, the stems continue strengthening, and every indication suggests she's thoroughly enjoying the conditions provided. 💧 Feeding Program Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container and hand-watered with approximately 0.9 litres per irrigation, she continues responding beautifully to the current feeding schedule. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L The transition into full bloom nutrition has been seamless. Leaf colour remains healthy and balanced, while the developing flowers continue to expand without showing signs of deficiency or excess. Sometimes the best adjustment is simply knowing when not to change what is already working. 🌸 Phenotype Notes This Purple CousKush continues to remind me why growing from seed is always such a rewarding experience. Despite sharing identical genetics, environment, nutrition and lighting with the other plants in this project, she has developed an entirely unique character. Where some phenotypes chose density and compact growth, this lady has embraced height, openness and elegant branching. Her long internodes may appear unusual at first glance, but they're creating a structure with excellent light penetration and airflow—qualities that often become major advantages as flowering progresses. Rather than comparing her with the others, I prefer appreciating what makes her different. Every phenotype has something to teach us. 🔍 Looking Ahead With the majority of the stretch now behind her, I expect the coming weeks to focus increasingly on flower production. The framework is already in place. Now comes the exciting part. Each flowering site should gradually begin stacking along those beautifully spaced branches, slowly transforming this elegant structure into a canopy filled with long, resin-covered colas. If she continues following the path she's chosen so far, I wouldn't be surprised if she finishes with a very refined, classic sativa-style appearance despite her autoflower genetics. She's written the introduction. Now the story begins to unfold. 💭 Final Thoughts This week reminded me that successful cultivation isn't about making every plant look the same. It's about understanding that each one has its own rhythm, its own priorities and its own way of expressing the genetics hidden inside a tiny seed. This Purple CousKush has never tried to compete with the others. She simply continues becoming the best version of herself. Healthy. Elegant. Balanced. Confident. Watching that transformation unfold is one of the greatest rewards of this entire 8×8 Adventure. Sometimes the tallest stories are written one branch at a time. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Your encouragement, questions and shared experiences continue to make this project far more rewarding than if I were growing alone. A special thank you to the incredible companies helping make this grow possible: 💜 Zamnesia for the fantastic genetics. 💜 Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these ladies thriving. 💜 Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting. 💜 TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment throughout every stage of the grow. And finally, thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community. Whether you've been here since day one or have only recently joined this adventure, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment and every word of encouragement. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Hello and welcome to week 8 for the quite amazing Nesia. She is growing as if there were no tomorrow... being the largest plant in the series. Please check last week which is now complete. Day 50: Fertigated 5l. Height: 56cm. Yes you read that correctly. 6cm stretch in 1 day. Oh dear. Also added a couple of carnivorous plants to take care of the odd fungus gnat. Day 51: I've taken a long video and some better photos to demonstrate Nesia's size. She now measures 60cm tall that's another 4cm in a little over 12 hours. 😔 What a plant! Day 52: Lazy day no measurements. Day 53: Fertigated 5l - height 62cm Day 54: Fertigated 5l - height 65cm.- Nesia is already my largest plant. Larger even than her majesty the Queen. She's not done yet. 3cm vertical stretch in 24h. It is Nesia's turn in the middle so I've trimmed all leaves that extended outward. Day 56: Height 72cm. Nesia has continued to stretch and is extremely thirsty. She's taking about 5 litres a day at the moment. I fear she is not finished yet. End of week summary: Nesia has continued to stretch fast and gained 22cm in height this week. She's now putting out a lot of pistils but the stretch hasn't slowed yet.

I have harvested this planet but there was a problem one of my six inch fans stopped working so two bud stems had two small peach fuzz spot of white mould. So I chopped half the planet off with garden secateurs and disposed of straight away, and after inspecting the over half of the plant finding no evidence of mould I washed with warm water. It is now in quarantine drying in my shed. That was the reason I haven't taken pictures in case my shed gets broken into 😂 so until next time ✌️ out my fellow Growmies and all going well I should have a very small amount of weed for dry weight and smoke review

Last week went well. She is still growing like crazy. Happy that the weather has started to act right so I was able to get her put in the ground. She had more roots than I thought. I think she will grow rapidly now with the strength of the sun and having unlimited root space. I did some lst, supercropping and defoilation to open her up and to create the best structure to build on. After long I will prepare to support the mains so she doesn't snap her branches. I will update as she progresses. There will be more joining her soon. Until next time happy growing to everyone!

Went 60 days into flower could have possibly went longer but I felt like it’s where I wanted it to be also just couldn’t wait any longer. Overall great grow a lot of challenges but with the help of this site and my own research I’m happy with the results. I will weigh after drying and trimming

Hey guys! New week, here we are! As always, every Sunday is cleaning day. Took everything again from the tent, washed the saucers. Was also time to cut down some leaves as it was starting to look very bushy and hard for the light to get through it. During that time, came across with some bugs under the foliage, which isn't a great sign for sure. Not to mention the fruit flies that moved in and are making my life a little chaos. On top of that it seems that this little one is getting some deficiencies. Gonna ask for help in the right section to clear it out Reducing now the RH a bit, and watering now on every 72h instead of 48h to keep the grow as dry as possible. Increasing the ventilator speed was another attempt, it so much air circulating should be hard for them to make a living inside. Just put now more of those fly traps and will add a couple glasses of cider vinegar here and there, as it attracts most of the flying things with success. Note that some plants are yellowing and that's never a good sign. Though for few weeks it was Nitrogen deficiency, but after increasing it and the CalMag values, the problem persists, so I'm inclined for something bug related. Besides that, temps are still very stable, RH was changed, now to 40% tops, and the light went a little lower to get it closer to the plants - always with the light burn effect in mind. 40cm is the line between the tops and the lamp. Flowering is looking good, buds are forming well and seems that's gonna be a good ending if I can keep the bugs under control. Oh, I forgot. She has a weird smell, like a rotten mango. Not sure if that's the skunk in it coming up, or if I should actually dig and look for root rot. I don't believe in the latter one as my feedings are never abundant/excessive, use fabric pots, have great ventilation. But, the fact I don't believe in it doesn't mean I'm right. Probably I'm wrong. First signs of trichomes are here, you can see it with the naked eye. That's all folks, have a great week

-En primer lugar dar las gracias a zambeza por creer en mi en todo momento,y por darme a conocer esta gran pagina y familia, espero que sea para largo esta colaboración. •Hemos germinado 9 semillas, 3 de cada raza, lemon , power plant xl, northern light xl, y que pasadas 48h fueron colocadas en maceteros pequeños, los cuales iluminaremos con un bajo consumo las primeras semanas. •Esperemos que este seguimiento sea más completo y más extenso que el anterior , (que lo edite todo en una noche,aún que me llevase casi 4 meses el jodido proyecto).
