Hey yall! Another week down. A lot has happened. To start, we up-potted from the red solos into my living soil blend that I have been working on for almost a year. It's so full on living creatures and beneficials. I used to have fungus gnats a lot when working with living soil, it's almost impossible to avoid. .. Then enters beneficials; we have black soldier Flys, persimillis predatory mites, definitely earth worms, most likely a mix of night crawlers. No more fungus gnats, I highly recommend using beneficial nematodes, cucumeris and persimillis predatory mites are excellent (swirski predatory mites are expensive). Just look at the Soil Food Web and identify what pest you have, then purchase their predators from a trusted insectary. Anyways I added another 200watt LED and spread out the plants in a 2' X 4' tent. It's extremely dry in my location and having the heat on makes the air even drier. So getting my VPD stable has been an immense challenge. Right now Also we need to be able to add VPD or at least GD needs a built in calculator to help folks with VPD, Vapor Pressure Deficite. As of right now I am sitting at 0.85 VPD, so pretty good for today. I have 4 humidifiers and have had to hang moistened towels on the doors of the room I am growing in. It literally has been a huge challenge to keep the humidity high enough for my VPD to be in range for the young plants I have now. Good thing is my current humidity without running any humidifiers is perfect for the flowering stage, so I can't wait to move this along. As for topping and training; like I said I really want to move these ladies into flowering sooner than later. I have several reasons to do limited training so I can limit my veg time, also getting this crop done as fast as possible is best for my set up. Until I can get a larger house 🏠 😩 because we got a baby on the way 👶 so need to make space. I have made compost tea twice this past week, wetting the soil and also spraying the leaves. My sprayer broke so I ended up pouring the tea on the plants gently, I got worm castings on the leaves lol. Gently rubbing that off once they dried. Also I applied the tea at night. My tea recipe: Reverse Osmosis water, 2 to 4 gallons I bubble that with added minerals for a day Add 2-3 cups of Activated worm castings (To activate the castings I added about 3 gallons of high quality castings with what I consider to be nutrient amendments, SO I add = kelp meal, neem cake, organic coconut flour, organic corn meal, organic wheat flour, and organic cold milled flax seeds and let that sit for a week then add about 2 to 3 cups of that mix to the tea) I also add biology from about a cup of 2 different soil mixes I have around my compost bin, just trying to get a more diverse biology by adding those two different soil sources. And mind you the grow beds I took the soil from has been organic for many years and has a large amount of beneficials and tons of excellent biology. Other than that I bubble that for 12 to 24 hours, with as much air as I can get. I use air stones but you really need to clean them off once you are done brewing. I also have an Air Lift with a large air pump that really works great, K.I.S. Organics sells one that works great or you can build one easily with with PVC pipe and a few adapters from any Home Depot or Lowes. Also I do add DynoMyco to my roots when up-potting. They are an amazing brand that has backed up research, I think they have more propagules per gram of two strains they identified to work great with cannabis. Now having said that, each individual phenotype out of each individual and specific strain/cultivar is going to have different bacteria/fungal strains that it prefers and by growing the same strain, hopefully the same exact cut, and grow 3 to 4 cycles before you truly have the mycelium networks built and fully functional. What I am saying is stop throwing out "used" soil and go over 7 gallons, bigger the better for biodiversity. Stop buying "new" soil, amend your previous beds and pots. You will see a huge difference. Hopefully I can show you all of this with my Grow. Anyways please feel free to ask away any questions! This grow is about saving money 💰 🤑 and growing the best clean medicine as possible.

Pretty good week overall! Day 80, I am posting a little early to coincide with my expected harvest in 2 weeks, and because today I officially started the flush! At this point I am anticipating the harvest between 5 and 14 days from now, depending on how quickly the buds finish ripening up. I am guessing the taller plant has about 75% red hairs and over 50% cloudy trichomes at this point. The shorter plant is slightly behind with maybe 40% of her hairs being red and maybe a third of the trichomes are cloudy. They have made a lot of progress over the past week, so🤞 they will continue that trend. Did a pretty decent defoliation on the shorter plant, due to some fan leaves that were blocking light from the lower canopy turning yellow. I have decided to try molasses with my flush water, hopefully that will improve my final product. One final note is the smell.... it is considerably stronger this time than either of my first 2 grows. Typically I do not bother with a carbon filter, but the smell was so strong it leaked in from my garage and permeated my entire house! So I added filter (and a very strong candle) and it seems to have helped the problem. Super excited for the harvest, will definitely keep everyone posted!

Week 1 Flower Report: Anesia Pheno Hunt! Hello, wonderful Grow Diaries community! Welcome back to another exciting week of our Anesia pheno hunt. We've officially entered the flowering stage, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share the progress and updates with you all. Week 1 Flower Highlights: Transition to Flowering: Our Anesia ladies are making the exciting transition from veg to flower. The stretch is on, and they're reaching for the stars! This week, the plants have shown remarkable growth, with sturdy branches and lush foliage. Future#1, Zoomiez, Apricot Oreo, and the resilient Red Banana Pudding are all thriving beautifully. Nutrient Update: To support this critical phase, I’ve adjusted their nutrient regimen. Using the fantastic Aptus Holland range, I’ve started them on the flower mix, including Regulator, CaMg-Boost, TopBooster, and P-Boost. The All-in-One Pellets in the soil provide a solid nutrient base, so no need for the All-in-One Liquid. This powerful combo ensures they get all the essential nutrients for robust flowering. Environment Control: Maintaining optimal conditions is key. With the help of my Blue Lab Guardian monitor, I’ve kept the TDS at 420 and pH at 5.8, ensuring perfect balance for nutrient uptake. The Future of Grow LED lights continue to provide the ideal spectrum for vigorous growth and bloom. Topping and Training: Earlier, we topped the plants, and the results are showing! The plants have developed multiple strong colas, promising an abundant harvest. The water droplets after topping always bring a smile, signifying the plants’ health and vitality. Invitation: If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my YouTube series, "Welcome to the Green Oasis." In this series, I take you behind the scenes of our grow operations, sharing tips, updates, and in-depth looks at our garden. Each episode is filled with insights and a whole lot of green goodness.

All round a very good plant to grow , one of them stretched but I lollypopped and topped it late into flower due to outgrowing my tent and she took it well, producing absolutely top quality buds covered in milky thricomes and glistening all over the nuggs. Absolutely frosted. The smell at this point was around 7.8 smelling strong of orange and citrus , the main cola nice and dense, with lots of other colas branching off. Easy strain to grow to this point although I did have a calcium deficiency but it was fairly rectified.

# Purple CousKush Auto — Pheno A 🌱💜 ## Week 1 Vegetation | From Rough Beginnings to a Strong Finish Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back for another Week 1 update. This time we're following Purple CousKush Auto Pheno A, a plant that delivered one of the most interesting transformations of the week. Because if someone had only seen the first photographs, they might have been tempted to worry. Fortunately, plants rarely read our concerns. And this little lady spent the week proving exactly why patience remains one of the most valuable tools a grower can have. --- ## A Challenging Start From the moment she emerged, Purple CousKush Auto Pheno A looked a little different from many of her sisters. The earliest growth showed unusual leaf development. The first leaves appeared twisted, folded, and somewhat crumpled. Even the close-up photographs reveal just how unusual those first few days looked. At first glance it could easily raise questions. Was it genetics? A minor developmental quirk? A seedling simply figuring itself out? At this stage, it was impossible to know. What mattered most was not how she started. What mattered was what happened next. --- ## The Importance of Watching New Growth One lesson that seedlings constantly teach us is this: Always watch the newest growth. Not the oldest. Not the damaged tissue. Not yesterday's leaves. The newest growth tells the real story. And throughout this week, the newest growth on Purple CousKush Auto became increasingly encouraging. Each day the center growth appeared healthier. Each new leaf emerged more normally. Each photograph showed improvement. Instead of declining, she continued moving forward. And that is exactly what growers want to see. --- ## Finding Her Rhythm As the week progressed, the transformation became obvious. The twisted appearance slowly began giving way to better leaf formation. The structure improved. The canopy widened. The plant settled into a more natural growth pattern. By the final photographs, she looked almost like an entirely different seedling compared to where she started. The rough beginning was still visible in some of the older growth. But the future growth? That looked promising. Very promising. --- ## A Strong Finish The final photographs of the week tell the story better than words ever could. By the end of Week 1, Purple CousKush Auto had developed: 🌱 Healthy new growth 🌱 Improved leaf structure 🌱 Better symmetry 🌱 Stronger overall vigor 🌱 A noticeably more confident appearance The bird's-eye photographs are especially satisfying. The canopy has begun opening up nicely. The leaves are expanding. The center growth is active. And the plant looks fully committed to moving forward. Sometimes seedlings simply need a little time to sort themselves out. This appears to be one of those cases. --- ## Early Personality One of the reasons I enjoy documenting every stage from seed to harvest is because every phenotype tells its own story. Some plants emerge looking perfect from day one. Others arrive with a little extra personality. Purple CousKush Auto Pheno A definitely belongs in the second category. She made us pay attention. She made us wonder. And then she quietly started fixing the situation herself. Those are often the plants that become the most interesting later in life. --- ## Environmental Conditions Conditions remained stable throughout the week: 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 55% ⚡ 12/12 from seed 🌱 Plagron nutrient program 💡 Future Of Grow Black Series LED lighting 💨 Gentle airflow and stable environmental control With the environment remaining consistent, the plant was free to focus entirely on root establishment and early development. And despite the unusual start, she responded well. --- ## Looking Ahead Moving into the next week, I will be watching closely for: 🌱 Continued normalization of the new growth 🌱 Canopy expansion 🌱 Structural development 🌱 Growth rate compared to her sister phenotype 🌱 Any unique traits that may emerge as she matures Because if Week 1 taught us anything, it's that first impressions do not always tell the whole story. This girl started with a rough hand. But she finished the week looking stronger every day. And honestly? Those are some of my favorite plants to follow. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along on another seed-to-harvest adventure. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚💜 "Sometimes the strongest starts are not the prettiest ones. Sometimes they're the ones that learn to grow through the struggle." 🌱

The carmalious auto liked a the soil ph around 5.8 I noticed when growing. The Pineapple Express auto didn’t care for much nutrients. They both started off pretty strong but had some issues with the Pineapple Express during early flowering, but figured out the problem and fixed it. Both plants were grown in 2 gal flower pots and yielded roughly over a ounce a piece.

White widow auto only gave about 25g but basically all of perfect nugs. Anti auto people could be converted from her, I contend. Big blast of berry taste, giggly, lifted effects. Very frosty, plump nugs. Special Queen yiekded easily 3 and a half ounces and her look is great. So far the tsste isnt what white widow is, might lift with curing. Using grove bags.

Don’t want to scrog I’m hoping weeks 2-3 with rhino skin will give more confident stalks. I have bamboo stakes ready as a back up
