week intel: its time to harvest top buds! because my base nutrients and one of boosters was salt based, i'll do flushing this week to get some relieve to plants in the last days stresses : flushing Drought stress via watering only one time with flushing this week feeding: day 1 : i flushed them with Advanced Nutrients Flawless finish and adjusted ph day 3 : no more feeding from now on day 5 : no more feeding from now on guide of the week : i harvest in 2 parts : first i harvest top of the branches and will let the lower buds to ripe another week then ill harvest the second wave. its crucial to get uniformed buds in terms of quality that you let the lower buds to get some extra air and especially light! then the pop corn buds quality will reach the top buds. my dry and cure style is this: 3 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 3 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. im happy as hell with this harvest :D.

Had stuff to deal with IRL this week. Only timelapse available.

Hello all! This plant looks mature and I have a microscope but the thing is I thing it has over ripened and, some trichomes fell off? Or let me tell you my trichomes never turned MILKY OR WHITE. Some of them are amber tho. Anyways, on growweedeasy.com there is a guide that says : Harvest even if your trichomes are not ready. I guess it will be more a gut feeling to chop or not chop. Any input greatly appreciated. And yes, I have chopped down the main cola and dried and smoked it. I guess it gets me high but I smoke all the time so it's hard to evaluate because I have also bought quality weed to smoke So guys, only from the photos, what do you think? My trichomes looks like half clear %10 amber. Do you think it could go to amber without stopping at milky? Or milky trichomes fell of but there was new growth and I could never see clear trichomes? INPUT ? :)

Hello, here is the beginning of the fifth week of vegetation, I did not make an apical cut to the autoflowering ones but to two of the three red hot cookies yes, I see that they grow faster and faster and I like that, very good plantation, I like it, If you have something to comment on or you can help me with something, you already know what you can write in the comments.

5 juli en ze is aan haar einde gekomen, ze hangt nu aan de waslijn Heerlijke dikke buds met een heerlijke geur. Deze strain zal ik zeker nogmaals kweken. Bedankt James voor de mogelijkheid 👌🏽❤️ Ze zal ongeveer 2 weken nodig hebben om te drogen. Hierna zal ik de buds wegen en in potten doen. Uiteraard volgt er dan ook nog een smokereport en meer foto's

She's comming along just nicely nice tall branches with stacked bud sites who knew I'd make it dis far its alot of work trial and error it's like a full time job tending to my girls I defol her and the green crack better air flow. And light penetration

12/4/23-moving to flower. I have been doing LST, just put a screen on it to scrog. 12/5/23 - started new flower recipe and 12 hour light schedule 12/10/23 - has been in flower for almost a week; I have been putting 160ml of nutrients in am & pm, along with adding 24ozs of new water, ph running slightly low at 5.64. A little burns on some tips but looks healthy over all. Still not a tall plant, but short and bushy for sure. When do I see buds forming ?

massive growth in this girl. i decided to flip them both cuz they are in a 2x2. trying to get 12 tops. 6.3 ph 1800 ppm run off. the one girl goy reckt by knats so her roots got stunted. haven't decide what to do. toped her and she grew strange. gonna bump up the lights a bit maybe she streached out to much. topped one last time in the 3 gal. cal mag and silica only for now.

Buds are very sticky. Will harvest on the next visit

All of my plants with a case of calcium deficiency this week, mainly the best growing one which is showing it really bad 😪 Have halved the nutrients and feeding them CalMag with their food daily to hopefully stop the calcium deficiency getting any worse.. Nearly there now anyway maybe a few more weeks maximum so will just have to see how it goes and learn some lessons. Think I'll be growing 6 full size photoperiods next time, gonna do some research through the week to pick the soil, coco or maybe hydro. Then probably get another led light if temperature is gonna be an issue in a bigger tent, if not I've got a 600w MH and hps I can use. Thought I'd be alright not watering them everyday and was gonna do every other day but think it may be too late to do this now. She's covered in orange spots even worse than before after not watering for 1 night so can imagine the roots are fucked because of me overwatering them 😪 they've got a week or 2 left so hopefully the best one won't die..

Der Stretch is ist im vollem Gange und den Lady geht es soweit gut ! 2 Der Damen haben ein etwas schlechteres Wachstum,sie wurden etwas mehr aufgebockt um nicht unter zu gehn.Teils wurde ein wenig etwas Untergestellt um das Höhenwachstum den größten Pflanzen anzupassen.Nachdem ich die Pflanzen überprüft habe musste ich leider feststellen das zwei Damen von oben bis unten voller Säcke waren.Diese wurden sofort entfernt ! Bei allen anderen passt alles soweit. 😉

Meeting with Pyramid Seeds to pass them their growers' rating!

Yo, check this! Pyramid Seeds just snagged their rating️ from the growdiaries.com crew—big ups for their awesome seeds! #PyramidSeeds #growdiaries

Week 8 +-, She got another cleanup, removing lower leaves and branches. I always keep the lower third of my plants clean, especially with hydro plants it helps with ariation. Feeding is still the same as before, no changes, its just a case of refill the res every 3 days +- and change and clean res every 7 days roughly. This rythm will continue till we hit a later stage of flower where we will add Green Sensation.

it's amazing, this growth looks much better than my first attempt, my decision was to put a smaller pot and change the light - the girl really liked it, FastBuds goriilla cookies with a small space manage perfectly:).

Dégoûté !!

2018-04-03. Week 22, day 3. This girl is a beast and doing great. The flowers is getting bigger and starting too frost up. She smells very strong, something like citrus cleaning spray and vomit or a bad fart. Strain information. Fruity blueberry skunky taste. Happy energetic high with very relaxing body stone. Medium sized plant with a deep berry overtone. Excellent for relieving stress, depression, headaches, nausea and pain. CBD 6.3% / THC 7.6 = 1-1 Ratio. By crossing CBD Kush with Spliff Berry, we created a similar hybrid that has close to an even 1:1 THC to CBD ratio. This strain was bred for those in mind who want great fruity berry flavours with a low dose of THC and high CBD. This strain grows very similar to our Spliff Berry Blueberry pheno, which is known for growing to medium height and being very sturdy and tough. The taste is still very sweet and fruity, but there are also earthy overtones on the palate. CBD Spliff Berry is a very reliable, easy to grow strain that is brilliant for making CBD rich extracts. Making edibles with our CBD strains is also highly advised as this is one of the best ways to enjoy CBD as a medical user. The buds grow bright green with thick white pistils which turn to a bright orange as she matures. She will flower in 56 days and is great for indoors and will perform well outdoors, due to her blueberry and kush lineage. In the garden, she will have a skunky floral aroma. When smoking this strain you will notice the effects are instant, and an energetic high can begin to take over. This is a perfect strain for anyone who wants to enjoy the medical benefits of Cannabis without feeling a great deal of psychoactive effects with only 7.6% THC. A simple strain to grow and another super strong CBD strain from Spliff Seeds. Its 60 % indica and 40 % Sativa.

Got rid of some plants but my friend gave me 2 more 😭😭 kinda of nervous that some are males

Caught up... things are going well, Bruce stretched like crazy and has evened up its canopy to the others idk if it's that big bud in it or what. Lilac has looked a solid week and half ahead of the others since flower, she looks wicked though, trichromes are starting to build. I've done my last training, I usually go hard on thinning but I'm trying to be conservative and only uncover buds under leaves. Still same feeding routine.. looking forward to the finish line but know this is an important time with terms and trichromes beginning to resonate... I sick at this guy's but I want to get better at chronicling my grows.. so hourly I will improve in the process of Journaling.

💜 Week 7 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno B) Quiet Confidence One of the things I love most about growing multiple phenotypes side by side is discovering that every plant has its own way of telling a story. Some demand attention from the very beginning. Others slowly earn it. This Purple CousKush has always belonged to the second group. Since germination she's chosen her own rhythm, never trying to become the tallest plant in the room or the fastest to flower. Instead, she's quietly built herself into an incredibly balanced, healthy and elegant little lady. For anyone joining this 8×8 Adventure for the first time, this entire project is about growing multiple phenotypes side by side under exactly the same conditions. Every plant receives the same environment, nutrition and care, allowing their unique genetics and personalities to tell the story. This Purple CousKush is proving that sometimes the quietest phenotype becomes one of the most rewarding to watch. Week after week she's reminded me that confidence doesn't always need to be loud. Sometimes it simply grows. 🌱 Plant Development Week 7 finds this beautiful phenotype standing at approximately 88 cm, adding another impressive stretch since last week's update while maintaining the same wonderfully symmetrical structure she's displayed from the beginning. Although she still isn't the tallest Purple CousKush in the tent, she's becoming one of those plants that immediately catches your eye for all the right reasons. Every branch has continued developing evenly, creating a beautifully open canopy where light reaches almost every flowering site. The spacing between nodes has proven to be nearly ideal, giving each future cola plenty of room to develop without feeling crowded. The flowers themselves have taken a noticeable step forward this week. Fresh white pistils continue exploding from every bud site, while the individual flowers are beginning to connect into the first recognizable colas. They're still young, but the direction is becoming very clear. One thing that really stands out is her colour. The foliage has shifted into an incredibly rich emerald green that almost glows under the lights. Every leaf looks healthy, every stem feels strong, and the entire plant gives the impression of being perfectly comfortable in her environment. She may not be shouting for attention. But she's certainly earning it. 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions Another week of stable environmental conditions has allowed this phenotype to continue flowering without interruption. • 12/12 light schedule from seed • Future of Grow Black Series LED delivering approximately 850 PPFD • Lumiflora under-canopy lighting now supporting lower flower development • Mammoth Pro grow tent • Day temperature around 29°C • Night temperature around 25°C • Relative humidity averaging 60% • CO₂ approximately 639 ppm • pH 5.8 • EC 1.95 mS/cm One exciting addition this week has been introducing the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting. While the main Future of Grow Black Series continues driving the canopy from above, the Lumiflora fixtures now provide additional light beneath the canopy, helping lower flowering sites receive energy that would normally be lost in the shadows. As the flowers continue stacking over the coming weeks, this extra light should contribute to more uniform bud development throughout the entire plant instead of concentrating production only at the top. It's another small detail that helps maximize every square centimetre of the grow space. 💧 Feeding Program Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container and receiving approximately 1.1 litres of solution per irrigation, she continues responding beautifully to the current bloom programme. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L The slightly increased EC has been welcomed without hesitation. Leaf colour remains beautifully vibrant, new flower growth is accelerating and the plant continues showing absolutely no signs of nutrient excess or deficiency. Sometimes the best feeding schedule isn't the most complicated one. It's simply the one the plant happily accepts. 🌸 Phenotype Notes This Purple CousKush continues reminding me that beauty isn't measured in height. She's growing with incredible balance. The main stem has become noticeably thicker, every branch is supporting itself confidently, and each flowering site appears to be developing at almost exactly the same pace. There's something incredibly satisfying about watching a plant where nothing seems forced. Everything feels natural. The rich green foliage frames the developing flowers perfectly, while the bright white pistils almost sparkle against the darker leaves. She isn't trying to steal the spotlight. She simply shines in her own quiet way. Sometimes those become the most memorable plants of the entire run. 🔍 Looking Ahead The stretch now appears to be slowing, which means the next phase should become increasingly exciting. Over the coming week I expect the flowers to begin stacking much more aggressively as the plant redirects more of her energy into building density rather than height. The introduction of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting should also begin showing its benefits as the lower bud sites receive additional usable light, helping create a more consistent canopy from top to bottom. The framework has been built. Now comes the part every grower loves watching. The swelling. The stacking. And slowly, the first hints of the beautiful Purple CousKush she's been promising all along. 💭 Final Thoughts This week made me smile. Not because she's suddenly become the biggest plant in the room. But because she's becoming exactly what she was meant to be. Healthy. Balanced. Elegant. Every photograph tells the same story. Deep green leaves. Strong stems. Beautiful flower formation. And a plant that looks completely at peace with herself. She reminds me that growing isn't always about chasing the biggest harvest or the tallest canopy. Sometimes it's simply about appreciating a plant that's doing everything right. And this beautiful lady... She's doing exactly that. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every comment, every question and every shared experience make this journey even more rewarding. A special thank you to the amazing companies helping bring this grow to life: 💜 Zamnesia for the incredible Purple CousKush genetics. 💜 Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these ladies thriving. 💜 Future of Grow for delivering outstanding lighting from above with the Black Series LED. 💜 Lumiflora for helping illuminate the canopy from below, ensuring every flower has the opportunity to reach its full potential. 💜 TrolMaster for maintaining the stable environment that allows these plants to perform at their very best. And finally, thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community. Whether you're here to learn, share your own journey or simply enjoy watching these phenotypes develop, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment and every conversation. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Sep 6: Lemon Cream Kush is shaping up nicely. Buds are starting to thicken up and get frosty. Might be a bit of a P deficiency going on but I dont want to over fertilize this late in the grow. Sep 7: one last round of malted barley and Power Bloom. Leaves seemed a bit too blue indicating P deficiency so another round of bloom nutes were applied.. Sep 12: don’t take flash pics of your plants unless you follow it up with a far red (730 nm) light to put the plant solidly into dark mode. Otherwise there is an increased risk of hermies.
