🌱 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. 🌱💚

Started right before Thanksgiving on November 20th. Here we go!!!!

Si bien se ve un crecimiento explosivo, no veo un buena generación de tricomas, debe ser porque aún no saco el nitrógeno

Ich bin eigentlich sehr zufrieden bisher, nächste Woche kommen sie in das Zelt, wie man sieht wurzeln sie sehr schön außer der genetische "Krüppel" mal sehen was daraus wird, ich habe leider keinen Ersatz gepflanzt 😒😏😅 bis dahin schönen Sonntag noch 😘👌 I am actually very satisfied so far, next week they come into the tent, as you can see roots very nice besides the genetic "crippled" let's see what will become of it, unfortunately I have not planted a replacement 😒😏 until then nice Sunday still 😘👌

Yeah it’s not anything like I had planned, but like I said last week, there is always next year. I’m just giving her molasses here and there. I don’t know the pH or ppm of the feed water. It’s just molasses and my 8 pH well water. Then back to just plain water if I’m not feeding. There are obviously a lot of soil amendments that I’m leaning on. I suppose the picture of her trunk isn’t that impressive because it lacks a reference of scale. But those are some big roots on the top there.

No huge changes. GPA Cookies are still growing albeit slowly due to the cold. I hope it starts picking up soon. HUGE defoliation on the Chocolate Skunk clone. This girl is responding very well. Money Maker is just doing its thing! I didn’t expect much from this plant, but that just means it has no pressure and can take its time!

Anfang bis Ende der 2. Blütewoche. Ich habe noch ein letztes Mal entlaubt und Äste in position fixiert

This is the real power of Dutch poison, there are still 2-3 weeks ahead until the end.

KICKASS AUTO by KANNABIA Week #11 Overall Week #5 Flower This week she continues to pack on weight as her buds develop some density to them. The trichomes just shine in the sunlight. Overall she's doing great being outside no issues!! Stay Growing!! Kannabia.com KICKASS AUTO

Only giving plain water from now on. Smaller plant has little bit of mold. Not much, but after rain it might spread, so I am probably harvesting it within a week since there are couple rainy days ahead. . Days are warm and dry and still very long, so that inhibits the mold from spreading too fast so I am not to worried. Buds appear fluffy and leafy but there is good amount of cannabinoids so I think it'll be fine and since this is not for sale but for my personal use, the form of the buds doesn't matter so much. Happy grows to everyone.

So this final week the buds on this Orange Hill Special are filling out. They are getting rock solid and the calyxes are doing their final swelling. Also, the trichomes have started forming and up close, they are forming a white sticky film over the whole bud. The buds feel heavy and compact, although their size could have been bigger but not complaining with this amount of bud. I have just been feeding some perma tea and clean water since this soil is probably very high in nutes by now. I had some brown leaf points so just adjusted and all was fine. Now we go into the final one or two weeks. I did some final defoliation to expose some underside buds, they are swelling too. Removed some sticky underside larf, kept it in a box to gradually dry for a preliminary taste test coming days. Sunshine and me wish you a very merry Christmas (check our Christmas video) and hope we have more freedom next year instead of less and wish you all bountiful harvests! Special thanks and well wishes to @MarsHydroLED, you gave us an excellent gift that keeps on giving, thank you!!

now im start to using many kind of sugar till harvest, beer-fpj-molasses-coconut water...

Bin mir noch nicht ganz sicher aber kann gut möglich sein das Sie anfängt zu zwittern . Sie ist so schnell in die Höhe geschossen das Sie einfach zu nah an der Lampe war und ihr es nicht gut getan hat . Schauen wir mal und schauen uns die nächste kommende Woche an was passiert.

Welcome to Day 36 .... first Day of pre flowering 😍🙏👍 Day 37 .... massive leave cuttingto get space for the queens 😶🙏 Day 38 all strains forgive me the massive leave cutting 😃👌🙏 Day 39 everything seems to be ok 😍🙏👍 Day 40 this will be good i think 😃👌

When I started this grow my goal was to train a mother plant for clones. The Chemdawg#4 plant produced dozens of clones for me. After I gave some away, through process of elimination I selected the top twelve clones. And those 12 plants are really my harvest. I have 2 Canuk Cookies and 1 Do si dos in the veg tent now. And I’m just about in cloning mode again. The CD#4 smoke from Growers Choice Seeds is a very potent evening time smoke. The buds are very frosty. Taste gassy and chem. I harvested right around 3oz from the CD#4 mother plant. Thanks everyone for reading. I’ll upload pics of the final harvest in about 50 days. They’ve been flowery since May 1 Update: I added some pic of the (my real harvest) CD#4 clones. They have been flowering for 17 days now. I also switched from Botanicare and Fox Farms nutes to a completely organic dry amendment called “Earth Dust” by The Green Sunshine Company. I can’t say enough about TGSC. Theyre grow lights are unbelievable. Best light I have ever used Hands down. I will add more photos soon. Thanks for reading

SO UPDATE GANG!!!! The girls are looking great, So far so good! The grow setup is taking them to levels beyond what i could have done on my own But like i said before its a learning process so im fine tuning things and we getting there lets GOOOO!!!!!
