🌱 Week 2 – Purple CousKush Auto | Pheno B | Building the Foundation Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of my 8×8 Adventure, where every seed gets the opportunity to tell its own story. This diary follows Purple CousKush Auto – Pheno B, and while her sister surprised me with an unusual mutation during the first weeks of life, this lady has chosen a different path. She is developing with beautiful symmetry, strong vigor, and exactly the kind of structure that makes a grower smile every time the tent opens. Every phenotype teaches something different, and that’s exactly why I enjoy documenting them individually. ⸻ 🌿 Week 2 Development This week has been all about establishing a strong foundation before explosive vegetative growth begins. From the very beginning, Purple CousKush B has shown excellent vigor. Her internodal spacing remains tight, the stem is becoming noticeably thicker, and every node is producing healthy new shoots with vibrant green growth. The leaves are broad, healthy, and reaching confidently toward the light, showing no signs of nutrient deficiencies or environmental stress. Compared to last week, the increase in biomass is obvious. She has transitioned from a small seedling into a young plant that is now preparing for the next stage of development. Everything looks balanced. Everything looks happy. ⸻ 🌱 Beginning Low Stress Training This week also marked the beginning of her first Low Stress Training (LST). Rather than forcing the plant into shape later, I prefer to begin gently while the stems are still flexible. The main stem has been carefully bent, encouraging the plant to redistribute auxins away from the dominant top and toward the lower branches. This simple technique allows more growing tips to receive equal light while keeping the canopy flatter for the weeks ahead. One thing I always appreciate about LST is that it works with the plant rather than against it. There is no cutting. No high-stress recovery. Just gentle guidance. Even after the initial bending, she responded beautifully. The side branches immediately began reaching upward, showing exactly why this training method has become one of my favorites for autos. Watching a plant adapt within hours never gets old. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Health Overall health continues to impress. Thick central stem Strong lateral branching Excellent leaf color Tight internodal spacing Healthy vigorous new growth The foliage remains lush without appearing overly dark, suggesting that nutrition is right where it should be. She’s developing into a compact but powerful little bush that should have no problem supporting a heavy canopy later in flower. ⸻ 🌍 Environment The entire room continues to provide an ideal environment for vigorous vegetative growth. Temperature, humidity and VPD remain within the target range, creating stable conditions that allow each phenotype to express its genetics without unnecessary stress. Consistent airflow keeps fresh CO₂ moving throughout the canopy while strengthening stems naturally, and the lighting continues delivering an even PPFD across the entire garden. Healthy roots create healthy plants, and maintaining environmental stability is just as important as choosing the right nutrients. ⸻ 🌱 Nutrition Purple CousKush Auto is growing in Plagron substrate, receiving the same carefully controlled feeding schedule as the rest of the 8×8 project. This run is built around the Plagron nutrient line, supplying everything needed for healthy root expansion and vigorous vegetative growth while avoiding unnecessary excesses during these early weeks. Rather than pushing rapid growth, my goal is to establish a strong root system first. Healthy roots become healthy stems, healthy stems support healthy branches, and healthy branches eventually become beautiful flowers. As always, balance beats excess. ⸻ 📸 This Week’s Observations One of the things I enjoy most is comparing sisters grown under identical conditions. Same room. Same lighting. Same nutrients. Same environment. Yet every plant still develops its own personality. While Pheno A became the little rebel, Pheno B is showing textbook development, responding perfectly to gentle LST and already building the structure that should carry her through flowering. Both are beautiful. Just beautifully different. That’s the magic hidden inside every seed. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I’ll continue adjusting the LST little by little, allowing the secondary branches to rise evenly while maintaining a low, open canopy. The goal isn’t simply to make the plant shorter. The goal is to create an even platform where every future cola receives equal access to light and airflow. For now, there is no need to rush. She’s exactly where she should be. Healthy. Strong. Growing with confidence. ⸻ Thank you to Plagron for providing the foundation for this grow, Zamnesia for helping make this incredible project possible, and Grow Diaries for giving growers around the world a place to share, learn, and inspire one another. And thank you for following another week of this 8×8 Adventure. Whether a plant follows the textbook or decides to write its own chapter, every phenotype has something to teach us—and that’s what makes this journey so rewarding. Growers Love and see you all in Week 3. 🌱💚

Questa settimana i fiori hanno rallentato la loro crescita ma continuano a produrre copiose quantità di tricomi. Guardando altri diaries su questa stessa genetica ho notato che in molti casi tende ad aumentare il volume delle cime nella 8 e 9 settimana

You can find tbe first week of all girls on my profile, second week is missing coz its just boring and now i start week 3 so its day 15 today from placing seeds to germination. Uploaded a video of their habitat, i still wont name each one indifidually coz i still didnt choose winners / keepers. Unfortunatelly i have a bit low RH for this stage of growth but they obviously dont mind, i spray them twice a day, no burns from spraying with lights on, no electroshocks caused by spraying so all good now. I tried it all enough to be able to say i cant be assed anymore :D Since @growdiaries are not keen on resolving a problem with uploading each pic individually on androids, i will keep one diary for all girls, dont even mind not being able to compete in dom. Stay tuned these girls will rock.

i opened the plant ti per in more light and tied whit bands ti allow the smaller branches ti become larger. The beginning of the flowering Is upon us and i hope ther will be a great September

OK So had some non plant related as well as plant related issues this week. Been hectic with personal life, and still finding my groove with the girls .. I decided against any sort of training .... get it you can maximaxe and all but m all about letting them do their thing with some love and help, i feel like the hst and defoliation is just not for me at present time. If i get into commercial i definately see the advantages... Im growing for just myself , have zero friends and girlfriend doesnt really part take except the sometimes will hit a vape pen and shes done .. so all the fruits are for me and just do not see the need to mutalate my plants to get extra,, ill just grow more :D Recap : 5 - Barneys Glue Gelato Autoflowers 2 - "Freebie" Caramel Cream Aut o <I believe Maine Clone Company > though did not have label. All seeds came from AMAZING NORTH ATLANTIC SEED COMPANY .... ZERO issues ordering , shipping and popped 7 for 7 seeds even with some pretty disasterious goofs , see week 1 1. Struggled with Lighting - Definatly had the California Lightworks Solar Extreme TOO CLOSE .. now keeping a good 24 inches and will adjust soon with flowering 2. Struggled with PH - My well water is great .. low PPM and 7.0 ph . BUT i use ph down it seems each day with the top off water to bring the girls down from 6.5 - 6.8 to a nice 5.9-6.0 Eariier not too bad as the girls were not drinking so much ... which leads me to next 3. THEY ARE DRINKING BOY ... Holy cow this week they became drinkers liike i did not expect. I run my lights 2 pm to 8 am and turn off until 2 pm each day .... I top off in the morning before i put them to sleep , the bigger girls ... 4 of the glue gelatos autos are drinking almost half gallon each per day atm . While my lil girls <caramel cream autos > are much shorter and i have one gelato glue auto on the smaller side . They do not drink nearly as much maybe a quart . 4. I goofed on the BLOOM, I did not expect bloom so early i was planning on this week to start them .... but nope showed signs of sulfur deficiency , caught it early and changed the feeding to bloom cycle and WOW they took the hell off ... Have TREMENDOUS growth in past week sinced changed cycle ... Again im following FAST BUDS auto feeding chart for expert for general hydro to the T and adding HYDROGUARD 5. I have one caramel cream auto with mag deficiency signs on some bpottom fan leaves but i believe i got that fixed when i did the water change, not sure why just her , unless i goofed on the bucket mix. Which brings me to next statement ... IM INVESTING IN A GDAM 13 GALLON x 8 bucket plus RES kit for next grow ... Doing and maintaining 7 buckets is a royal pain in the ass . I honestly only expected 4 plants out of the 7 . AND expected fully i would kill something along the way I am visually impaired and BRain Tumor Dude .. so i gots some issues sometimes . .. but if you check out the videos i post in a bit here you can see, WTF i am doing ok i feel like . Great looking plants from my amateur opinion , always room for improvement as i am super critial of everything i do OCD/ADHD glorious combo BUT YES a better setup is needed for ease of use .. I bought my complete setup at PA HYDROPONICS , meaning my BUCKETS with fittings and hydroton . 200 bucks could not find better price anywhere he does a great fallponics custom build with 3 inch pvc that i have seen in action and tis a thing of beauty for us home growers. Plus i can add a small chiller to the mix to keep that temp a tad bit lower. IT about an 800 dollar upgrade BUT for the rest of my setup it belongs : vivosun 4x9 tent Ac Infinity T8 x 2 <one for vent one for blower , also have a great merv 13 filter box from ac infinity so as not to such in yuck from basement. 2 california solar extreme 550 So i figure adding an 8 bucket fallponics to fill the tent would look so much better tahn my 5 gallons and the constant checking each one and filling etc .... Having the res would be nice I also see the cons of it as if you goof you goof on all not just one .... But i m fairly certain i will upgrade. ***************** So right now it looks like nice buds are starting to form on all 7, the Glue Gleatos are much taller and full than the caramel creams ... I am tracking water being added and at this rate will need another change over in a day or two if drinking 1/2 gal a day and about 3 gallons <12 liters> labout inch from bottom of net pot. Rule of thumb being water change to replace nutes when you replace a volume equal to the total volume ... which is about every 6 days , last water change being 8/7 I will post some more when i inspect the ladies when i turn on the lights at 2 pm First time grower in setu

06/15/2020 Harvesting a good amount of pollen, not sure if you can see but it is cloudy in here. Female will be fed Happy Frog fruit and flower 9-4-3. And that will be all she gets till harvest time (seeds popping out.) Next week male should be spent, putting out clouds of pollen every day very copious amounts! And diary will continue till I harvest her seed. Just topping off reservoir with plain water for the male I have got 1.3 grams of beautiful pollen to selectively pollinate only the finest of female specimens for at least 6 months. Cookie Cake will get dusted with this bad boy. As well as Red Sky #1

So far she’s growing great, I noticed she was a bit finicky with the nutrients at 75% strength, I noticed a couple claws here and there so I only fed big bud and sensi bloom and a little lower strength and she reacted great to it.

Läuft gut soweit. Lichtstärke der Lampe auf 60% gestellt. Ein paar Blätter entfernt, die Nebentrieben das Licht genommen haben. Ich habe das Gefühl die Lemon Haze wächst etwas langsamer. Eventuell braucht die Sorte wärmere Temperaturen.

Nothing but pure H20 💦 Buds have bulked up a little, frosty, and about 10% amber trichomes. Harvest week for sure! Stay tuned.

Flushed yesterday. Harvest is coming. Waiting for some Amber.

Hallo Freunde 👋 Do-Si-Dos F1 von Zamnesia ist 21 Tage alt! Sie wurde getoppt und wird in den nächsten Tagen in Richtung gebunden (LST) der Strain selbst ist sehr schön in den Händen angewachsen und legt täglich ein wenig zu! Bis nächste Woche,keep Green and Grow High ✌️🍀💙🍀

Day 66 - Day 21 of flower - Master kush First indoor grow. Lights 12-12/ PAR 900/ Day temp 23-27/ Night temp 19-22/ RH45%/ Co2 500ppm/ water Ph 6.5/ water ppm 1400 with technaflora nutes/ organic soil/ 7 gal pots/ 4-5l per 3 days for watering. Week 3 is done. The power went out for a day due to a hurricane. Kept the light cycle going with flashlights lol. Defoliated one final time on day 18. There hasn't been any stretch in 4 days. Looking frosty already. I also included a video of my setup this week!

Not much for feeding this week, accept for the Rezin and some blood meal since she's not as dark green as I would like. Nodes are looking okay so I'm leaving it at current light distance to keep them closer together. Did a large trim and another spray for thrips. Microbe populations are also looking good. Added supplemental CO2

Update week 4 RDWC

Hi guys,i have some news for you and of course we are celebrating 👻🎃 1)Now the lamp works at 50% plus we are testing the sunset/dawn function. In fact, it simply reduces the power by 25% two hours before turning off and the same with turning on. I don’t know what this will give us, but the understanding that we are closer to nature warms the soul☺️. 2) It turned out that all the time I pour increased psh 6.4-6.8. The point here is that I prepare the compote in advance, respectively, I also lower the psh in advance, and for some reason in my sick head I was completely confident that Plagron ph down would keep the psh at the value I needed, but I was wrong. (Now it’s worth thinking about which of us is still down). Because of this jamb, we have a couple of unpleasant things, the first and most unpleasant thing is a delay in development, as well as all sorts of dirty tricks on the sheets, which they kindly told me that I was doing something wrong. Photos are attached. 3) Changed the composition of the compote. StartUp was removed. It was replaced by the Plagron Coco a+b and Fish Force base.

June 13: cool and rainy spring but PGC is ready for fast growth with warmer temperatures and long sunlight hours near the solstice. June 18: still lots of rain so I did another foliar spray of Extreme Blend. I don’t know what all is this stuff but it is pretty great and not at the usual cannabis nutrients ripoff pricing. She is the biggest plant of the four so far and likely to hold the lead. Fast growth starting and she’ll be ready for the next round of manifolding in a day or two.

Cette semaine s'amorce le rinçage en baissant l'EC et en augmentant le PH.🧑‍🌾 Je prépare ainsi les plantes au rinçage. C'est aussi cette semaine que les têtes 🌸 vont commencer à finir de murire. Je ne rajoute plus d'engrais, j'ajuste seulement le PH qui est passé de 2 à 1 progressivement.

Another Defoliation at the end of stretch this week for the Northern and she's now in full bud mode at end of Week 8. 3-4 left I think before the chop and she's just a happy monster. Buds forming nicely on't Chemdawg despite a bit of Nutrient Burn on some of the leaves. Skipped a feed last week and replaced with Molasses only just to help her fight off the excess 2nd Chemdawg looks like she will bud from head to toe a fairly straight forward week for all the girls but started to stink and show their flowers nicely.
