💜 Week 6 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno B) Growing Without a Hurry One of my favourite lessons from this entire 8×8 Adventure has been learning not to measure success with a ruler. Some plants race toward the finish line, stretching with incredible determination. Others quietly settle into themselves, carefully building strength before revealing what they have planned. This Purple CousKush belongs to the second group. She's never tried to compete with her sisters. She simply grows at her own pace, never rushed, never stressed, never trying to be anything other than herself. And honestly... I wouldn't change a thing. 🌱 Plant Development Week 6 finds this beautiful lady standing at approximately 66 cm, making her one of the more compact Purple CousKush phenotypes in the room. While some of the other ladies have focused on vertical growth, she has invested her energy into creating a wonderfully balanced frame with sturdy branches and beautifully healthy foliage. The flowers are now beginning to establish themselves across every branch. Fresh white pistils continue appearing at every node, and although the buds remain small for now, their formation is wonderfully even throughout the canopy. One feature that keeps drawing my attention is her foliage. The leaves carry a rich, deep emerald-green colour that immediately speaks of excellent health. Even more interesting are the gentle curves at the tips of several leaves, almost as if they're curling a finger and inviting you to come a little closer. Every plant has its own little signature. Those playful leaves have become hers. 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions This week brought another period of stable environmental conditions, allowing the plant to continue developing without interruption. • 12/12 light schedule from seed • Future of Grow Black Series LED delivering approximately 850 PPFD • Mammoth Pro grow tent • 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 Despite the warm summer conditions, she continues showing exceptional health. Leaf colour remains vibrant, stems continue strengthening and there isn't a single indication that she's under any environmental stress. Sometimes quiet progress is still outstanding progress. 💧 Feeding Program Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container and hand-watered with approximately 1.1 litres per irrigation, she continues responding beautifully to the current bloom 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 balance between nutrition and growth continues to be exactly where I want it. The rich green foliage, healthy new growth and consistent flower development all suggest she's receiving everything she needs without asking for anything more. No corrections. No chasing numbers. Just letting the plant do what she does best. 🌸 Phenotype Notes This phenotype reminds me that every seed carries its own personality. She's certainly not the biggest plant in the room, but she's far from the smallest story. Everything about her feels deliberate. Her internodes remain nicely spaced, the branching is symmetrical, and her compact stature gives the impression of a plant that's quietly preparing for the weeks ahead rather than trying to impress anyone today. Looking closely at the flowering sites, it's clear she's beginning to shift more energy toward bud production. Every branch carries clusters of fresh pistils, hinting at the shape she's slowly becoming. She's teaching patience. And patience has always been one of a grower's greatest tools. 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the flowering sites to begin stacking more noticeably as the stretch gradually slows. The framework is already there. Now it's simply a matter of allowing time to do its work. With her healthy root system, vibrant foliage and naturally balanced structure, I'm excited to watch these small flower clusters slowly transform into properly formed colas over the next few weeks. She may never become the tallest plant in the room. But she may very well become one of the prettiest. 💭 Final Thoughts Plants like this remind me why comparisons rarely tell the full story. It's easy to admire the tallest plant or the fastest flowering phenotype. But there's something incredibly rewarding about watching a quieter plant confidently follow her own rhythm without ever looking unhealthy or unhappy. This Purple CousKush doesn't seem interested in racing. She's simply enjoying the journey. Healthy. Balanced. Elegant. Confident in her own timing. Sometimes the most beautiful gardens are built by plants that never felt the need to hurry. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every comment, every question and every shared experience makes this journey even more enjoyable.

Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

I SOAKED THE SEEDS IN A CUP OF WATER, WITH A DASH OF HYDROGEN PEROXIDE, FOR 24 HRS. I THEN DUMPED THEM ON A PLATE BETWEEN PAPERTOWLS, AND ANOTHER PLATE(NOT TOO SOAKED-MAKE ROOM FOR AIR) UNDERNEATH I PLACED A HEATING PAD UNDER THE PLATE, FOR 24 HRS, TIIL THEY POP AND ROOT TAIL IS QUARTER TO HALF AN INCH FROM THERE I PLACED THEM IN PRE-SOAKED JIFFY PELLETS, AND PLACED THEM IN A GERMINATION KIT/WITH LID DOME. I DEFINETLY MESSED UP BY KEEPING THEM TOO MOIST. AND HAD TO TREAT THEM WITH A HYDROGEN PEROXIDE(3%)DELUTED WITH WATER, UNDER AND TOPPED. THEY ARE 10 DAYS NOW, I BEEN TRYNA HARDEN THEM OFF, PLAN ON TRASNFERING THEM TO THE SYSTEM. WISH ME LUCK

12/23/2020 Coming into week #5 flower will add overdrive this and next week. Should be bulking up soon I'm still resistant to defoliating but I must clean up some older leaves. 05/27/2020 Finally got to defoliating a little today buds everywhere! Holy crap! Gave her some overdrive in her reservoir bucket swap, also next week I believe.

Outside all the time Day 71: looking really good 🤗 watered with rain water. Day 74: Almost finished, giving her maybe two more weeks👌🏻 Smell is Intoxicating watered today with supplements: 1ml/l Green Sensation, 1ml/l Cal Mag, 2 ml/l Powerzyme. Rain water and a little tap water to get to an EC of 1.6 and a pH of 6.4👌🏻 Day 76: Today she got rain water from me🤗 She's drinking a lot because it's really hot outside right now. IT should cool down in a couple days to more tolerable temperatures 🌞🌞🌞

Howdy, here's a brief Week 9 update: It's become autumn in the tent! Temps are dropping, plants are showing signs of senescence one by one (although some reluctantly so, am I right SJ?). Headbanger, as expected, is finishing up first. Leaves are crisping up, colors are showing a slow, clean fade. I was pretty sure I burned her a little juding by the green tips, but Mephisto previously described this on the profile page, so maybe a little bit of both? Mango, finally cut out of the scrog net and turned 180°, got light-burned AGAIN and I am since giving her as many stable days as possible to get off the stress-edge, to retain those remaining beautiful terps. She is finishing faster due to a troubled history, but I am very proud to have her (alive at this point) and already learned a LOT about sativas. SJ is still watching the show from the corner, has settled building her rainforest canopy, and is just slowly bulking every day. Most content plant (well, as indica representation more resilient anyway), is hesitantly absorbing some Nitrogen from her fluffy, roughy, textured canopy. She'll let me know when things go south. Not gonna lie, OSMH, after some reasearch into her "natural" soil conditions, already caused me to try and wrap my hot dehumidifier exhaust around the pots, in order to avoid scary root temp collapses during nights towards 15°C. I am giving the plants warm-ish waterings to raise soil temps slightly, but watching her suffer more is driving me a little nuts. She definitely managed to take a scratch at the little pride I still had remaining 😂 I clipped some videos from my personal vid log, enjoy. I think I have a LOT of larf incoming 😓. Don't be greedy.

still growing fast as fuck. i was falling more and more in love with her as time passed. she was showing signs of hunger so i gave her, her first feed of veg nutes on december 5th 2021. I mixed 1/2 tsp to each gallon. I used a bucket with 3 gallons of dechlorinated tap water. Decmber 8th: same amount of veg to gallons of water with the same 1/2 tsp. phd to 6.4. December 10th gave her a feed honestly dont know how much. id say about 10-20 cups worth of dechlorinated tap water with 1/2 tsp of veg nutes to 3 gallons.

Day 70. Switching to 24/0 because the humidity is going above 70% in the night, only having the light on helps. TG1 is getting super frosty, smelling like some kind of sweet cereal. TG2 is smelling like straight diesel gas. I’m really excited to see these buds dense up. There were so many white hairs making up the buds it looked really cool.

Hello Diary, The third week of flowering has ended, Cherry Pie is progressing very nicely, which is clearly visible in the photos. Cherry Pie has almost stopped growing, it has grown a scant 3 cm, which means that that is more or less the height. 72 cm is almost ideal considering the size of the grow box. The main cola rises high above the other branches, it is completely covered with flowers. As for the flowers, they are developing nicely, it is still early to make any predictions, but if it continues to develop like this, I will be very happy. Cherry Pie has also started to smell more intensely, when I open the grow box, the smell is immediately noticeable. The leaves are a healthy green color, there are no signs of a lack of anything. Watering has become more frequent, they have become much thirstier. I have continued to add CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertilizer with each watering. All in all, I am very pleased with how Cherry Pie is progressing, I try to provide them with the best possible conditions and the plants return the favor in their own way. Here is what the past week looked like. 29/08/2024 - Day 36. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water, added CalMg and Bio Bloom Fertiliser and lowered the pH to 6.0. With that amount of water I watered all three plants on the "Farm". 01/09/2024 - Day 39. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 03/09/2024 - Day 41. Watering. Same procedure. 04/09/2024 - Day 42. End of the 6th week, or the third week of flowering. Photographing and measuring the height of the plants. Cherry Pie - Day 42. - 72 cm. That's all from me, see you soon.

Germinated 20 seeds only 8 seeds popped contacted ice head seeds they sent replacements out within 48 hours. Running these seeds in x2 Wilma 8 pot systems , manually feeding them for the first two weeks while they are young. Also for the first week I will be using a 400w hid light starting at a distance of 1 meter away as to not shock the seedlings while gradually moving the light closer throughout the week until I reach the optimal distance of 24 inches by around day 5. Also I am running the lights on 24/7 for the first week to help accelerate growth Note: advanced nutrients ph perfect is not ph perfect had to manually drop the ph from 7.1 to 5.8 quite disappointing .

What up fam, weekly update on these lovely ladies. They're growing great so far. Seeing new upwards growth and new leafs with zero signs of deficiency. I started adding 2ml per gallon of the Athena Grow A & B and 2ml of General Hydroponics CalMag this week to see how they respond and all in all its been Happy Growing.

In general i am very satisfied considering the biggest problem i had which was the heat during all the growing period. I also had a power cut which stressed the plant very much to the point it stopped growing for a few days ( the most critical days 😡 😤 ) and developed 3 finger leaves. Despite the heat the buds are very frosty, they have a very strong smell like brown sugar and cookies and the density is decent. The buds dried for 9 days at 22 °C and 60% RH and now are placed at PP tapers with boveda envelops to cure. Smoke report at 2-3 weeks.

Die Lady steht nun schon eine Woche länger als die anderen um nach zu reifen, ich würde sie längst ernten aber habe keine Möglichkeit bzw. keinen Platz im cure fridge daher lasse ich sie weiter reifen und ernte wahrscheinlich erst in einer Woche :( egal besser so als bei 30 grad zu trocknen und schiss Weed raus zu bekommen… suboptimal aber was will man machen

Inizio nuovo ciclo Giovedì 26 settembre 2024 Aggiungo 75 lt acqua osmosi inversa ec 146 ph 9 Aggiungo tutti I nutrienti ottenendo ec 908 ph 6.5

Week 7 flower : I defoliated a little just to give bud sights more light . Started flush on 6 1/2 weeks I’m just giving plain water and ph to about 6.0 . Watering everyday to about 20-30% run off and the ec of the run off is 1.0ec gonna be flushing everyday for next 1-2 weeks .

*Soil PH looks like it increased from 6.1 to 6.3 or maybe it’s the feeding will check the following day. *Nothing crazy happening yet. *increased PPM To 450

D29 Did top dressing with bone and kelp meal as well as worm castings. D31 Performed a little more LST, a few more days and I will let her do her thing. D32 More LST exposed lower nodes and evened out the canopy. D33 Removed all bonsai wire and rolled down the rim of the pot to even it out with to soil, more airflow. D35 Not much growth but overall looking pretty good. Heatwave last couple days keep temperatures higher than desired.

Harvest day🌻💚😎 It went very smoothly, find no bud rot. While they were hanging over a lot this past week, and it's been a pain in the ass to flush because of that💦💦🙃 But we made it 👏🏻 and what a beautiful result so far 🤙🏼 :Next week updates about the weight and dry pictures have a nice week ,and till the next🤙🏼

Day 36: Girls looking pretty happy. Still some discoloration going on. Doesn't look to be spreading though. Day 37: Ok, the girls obviously were not happy this morning. I watered with quite a good amount of runoff and measure the PPM at 3200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm surprised they are still alive! Had to make a quick run to get some water for a flush as I only have 5 gallons worth. Ran 2 gallons through each of them at a ph of 6.4 around 9:30 this morning. It's now 5pm and they have pulled through great. These OG Kush are extremely resilient. Day 38: The girls look way better today after flushing yesterday. Two of the pots were almost completely dry already. Went ahead and fed at 500ppm with runoff. Day 39: I think it's dialed in now. They are looking amazing and still stretching pretty good. Went ahead and pulled off a handful of leaves between the 5 of em. Day 40: Did a little more defoliation and opened them up a bit. I am super worried about getting any type of mold or any issues in particular for this first round. One of the girls needs a touch more but ran out of time. Girls are looking super healthy! 💪 Day 41: They are looking super awesome. Got the runoff dialed in. 750 going in and roughly 800 coming out. May up it in a week or so. Day 42: Nothing new to update. Girls still looking amazing. I think the stretch may be slowing just a tad.
