Plant is still not ready for full harvest on lower portion plant has had no issues with the cutting of branches or main cola. Growth has exploded on lower bud sites even a day after cutting. Was able to dry nugs for a week from first cut and have gotten to smoke it. Surprisingly has a good smooth taste and hits hard. Smells skunky with a little hay smell. (Was out bud) will try to cure for 3 months.

Cropped on Sunday evening as scheduled, a few days before complete ripening. I'm not worried about that as this shit plant has the hardest and frostiest buds I've ever seen. The complete pre-harvest defoliation made me understand a few things, stem rot. What I believed was a lack of nutrients instead was some rot at the base of the stem which I did not recognize because this plant was too leafy. This is probably the reason for the buds rot spots, considering that the weather was still dry until now. The loss is few grams so far. The plant has a fantastic skunky and fruity smell and is very easy to manicure.The buds are so resinous that seems to have slime in my hands. See you soon for the report of the harvest. I've decided to do a wet trim and manicure to check out for eventual hidden rot spots, this has required 3 days of work and a lot of spliffs and simply I forgot to weight wet plant. Estimated wet weight is 1,5/2 kilos.

So I am harvesting sweet Bourbon Kush Autoflower. It grew really fast. It smells like a wooddy sweet Bourbon. Hence the name. 🤷. She grew great for me in coco/perlite in a 1.5 gallon Potter. She has a great smell, great frost. Looks delicious. I am super eager to try the results. Thank you Spider Farmer, and Super Sativa Seeds Club. 🌱🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Day 78. Visited outdoors garden. Girls in ground grows way bigger than in pots. Biggest strain Lemonade Og. Same as indoors all Whiteys almost finished. My friend does this run, i had no time, all they got is my soil mix and fishmix by biobizz in veg. Those Autos are really good, but all so different, pattern stays the same indoors vs outdoors. Indoor girls can't get back. This is 4sure my last attempt in mixing outdoors with indoors, girls never loved it at mines. One Whitey is almost done, she needs just good flush for a week plus, in two weeks both Diesels will go aswell. Lemon Og is the long runners, but like i predicted, they grow huge plants, just not in this run ;))) Ill give a go for Whiteys and Lemon Ogs indoors one day soon, despite my promise not to grow Autos ... ;)))) Maybe i give FastBud a go vs them. Have big respect to theirs products. Day 81. Had too easy 3 night shifts, even was answering grow questions ,))) So ... Came home and did what i had to do - Great Flush. As suspected Whiteys are smallest, fastest to flower and fastest to finish, one will be chopped in a week. Lemonade OGs are bigest, but latest to flower. One Diesel has really nice colours, but its DEFICIENCY ;))) Anyway, can't get my issue, maybe its not light shock, maybe my roots don't get same airflow as in greenhouse, where they basically stand on two planks with good gap in-between and even after. For next grow ill buy trays .Always doubted do i need them, but sometimes i do, so its time for upgrade. I wanted to get answers and made proper flush. Each plant got 50 Liters of water 7.0 ph and after that : 80 ppm, 6.2 ph , 1Liter for each plant to reload soil ph. Future will show, or maybe will confuse me even more ;))) I am not expecting any harvest from those autos, i gave away more than 20 plants, those where left purely for taste, but to crack why my plants from outdoor don't grow inside, i would love to. Happy Growing !

Talked to a friend and I think the problem is the water's EC. I've been watering with mineral water low in minerals so I'll water with tap water for the following weeks until harvest. Other than that, plants are smelling great and producing a lot of resin, I'm eager to try them. For those planning on growing this strain, I definitely recommend topping because they get super bushy.

Man oh man the gp x bkp is taking off like a champ and filling out very nicely now that she's starting to flower 🌼 🌸!!!!! Gp x shb is starting to come back finally and is about to start flowering smells like straight up sour d already!! The gp x bkp is smelling like skunk and fruit I'm super excited for these strains especially after seeing somebody went and tested a few of wicked genetics strains and all of them came out to be 23%thc-27%thc !!! Fricken pumped gary payton is supposed to be a heavy hitter so I cannot freakin wait until both of these are finished

Morning 3/24/23 - Watered with Build A Soil Bloom schedule, added 2oz Liquid Pumpkin Extract. I believe the Mimosa is bouncing back a bit. I've noticed new pistils shooting out and a slightly darker hint of green to the leaves. I purchased a 5 Gallon jug of filtered drinking water from Lowe's. I think my tap water, even air bubbled, is no bueno. Morning 3/25/23 - Watered the CherryLand a bit with pure air bubbled water. Took Photos. Morning 3/27/23 - Watered with pure air bubbled water and added 1/2 tsp Recharge. Morning 3/28/23 - Day 32 of Flower, Top Dressed with Build-A-Flower Top Dress Kit. Watered with pure air bubbled water. Used 1/3 gallon per plant. Took Photos. Morning 3/29/2023 - Watered only the Mimosa x Orange Punch with pure air bubbled water ~1/3 gallon. She felt the lightest. Morning 3/30/23 - Watered only the CherryLand and Larry's Lemon OG with pure air bubbled ~ 1/3 gallon each. They felt the lightest. I want to keep the soil from drying out and try to keep it living but also try to not over water it. I ordered an AutoPot XL 2 pot system for my next grow. I am sick of watering. I went with the 6.6 gallon plastic pots with the airbase and airdome kit. I will be growing 1 x Green House Seed Co. Cheese and 1 x Brothers Grimm Seed Co. Grimm Mints. Morning 3/29/23 - Watered only the Mimosa. She felt noticeably lighter than the other two. The Larry's Lemon OG is looking close to done. It has fattened up nicely and most of the pistils are brown. Will look at trichomes under magnification when I get a few moments to spare.

Welcome! In this grow we have: 2x Platinum Wedding Crasher 2x Gelato 41 1x Sour OG 2x Lemon Kush Germination/Rooting - 14 Days 9/17/21 - The clones look good in solo cups of soil. We will transplant into 5 gallon pots in the grow tent after they fully root in the cups. 9/18/21 - Looks like the clones are doing well in soil! We are so excited to grow these out. The clones came from a very highly respected grower. 9/19/21 - No ugly growth. All clones look amazing! We upgraded the light to a Mars TSW 2000. 9/20/21 - They are looking good and most likely rooting throughout the cups. I’ll give them a little bit of water today. I want the roots to go looking for the water so I’ve kept them slightly dry. 9/21/21 - They look happy. I will let them just do their thing… We are waiting on our Mars TSW 2000 light to show up anyways. No roots visible from the drainage holes in the cups. 9/22/21 - Looking really healthy and growing nicely. I’m excited for them to fully root in the cups so we can transplant them into the tent. The Mars TSW 2000 should be here in the next few days. 9/23/21 - Looking so good! We can’t wait to get these under the Mars TSW 2000 in the tent. They smell and look great. 9/24/21 - The clones look really good except for one Sour OG. It wilted and died, roots did not take unfortunately. I have a Lemon Kush started from seed we will grow in place of the dead Sour OG. Today we got our Mars Hydro TSW 2000 light. We will be hanging it and updating with pics/videos. 9/25/21 - They look amazing. Lots of growth while rooting. 9/26/21 - So far so good. Watering when the cups get light in weight. In just a few days we will be transplanting. See the video for today, we hung the Mars Hydro TSW 2000! 9/27/21 - Watered them yesterday, they look healthy. The Lemon Kush isn’t a clone, it is from seed. It’s the smallest girl but it’ll perk up quickly. 9/28/21 - Transplant day!! The clones are looking really good and it’s time to transplant into the 4x4 under that Mars Hydro TSW 2000 at 50% intensity. Check out the pictures and videos from today!

The cannabis strain Grape Guava can be a purple strain, depending on its specific phenotype and genetic makeup. While not all phenotypes of Grape Guava are purple, some variations, such as the Zatix Grape Guava, are noted for their striking purple appearance due to the genetic expression of anthocyanin pigments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKdVmdoKJ5k In a garden of green, Grape Guava gleams, With its fruity aroma, enchanting dreams. Clusters of grapes, guava's sweetness ignite, A strain so divine, in purple and white. Euphoria whispers, a lush fruity haze, Grape Guava's embrace, a tranquil daze. Off and away.@1400ppm. The increased CO2 allows plants to thrive at higher temperatures, which in turn necessitates higher humidity to maintain the ideal VPD for healthy growth and transpiration. 80F -5F = 75F LST with 70% RH = 0.72 kPa. Higher temperatures and humidity promote rapid growth, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis while maintaining a lower stress level. Temperature influences the rate of enzymatic reactions involved in aerobic respiration. Enzymes, such as those involved in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, work most efficiently at an optimal temperature range. In low temperatures, enzymatic activity will slow down, thus reducing the rate of aerobic respiration. In high temperatures, enzymes can become denatured, thus impairing their function and stopping the process of aerobic respiration. Glucose is the primary fuel for aerobic respiration. The rate of aerobic respiration increases with the availability of glucose, as it is the starting point for glycolysis. If glucose levels are low, cells may rely on alternative energy sources such as fatty acids or amino acids , but these processes may yield less ATP or be less efficient. To determine this effect, carbon dioxide volume was measured (as carbon dioxide is an output of aerobic respiration) 18/6 with the 6 being IR. The near infrared (IR-a) borders around 700nm up to 1400nm @ photon par flux density of 1.8 instead of darkness, keeping temps overnight a neat 77F-80F. Think of my tent as a lung. What goes in must come out. When the rate of air going out exceeds the amount of air coming in, it creates a negative pressure. Tent concaves (bends in). If set up correctly, your RH will begin to drop slowly to the desired level you set, and the extraction turns off when it reaches 50% RH. The plant, as it performs cellular respiration, will always be releasing more water into the air, so the RH% of the tent overnight will always increase, so long as oxidative phosphorylation is occurring. As soon as the RH% creeps back up to 55%, the extraction turns back on, over and over. This creates a strong pressure differential which will work wonders on your grow. Replicating high and low-pressure fronts in nature. Critical for oxygen diffusion at the critical time of peak cellular respiratory function.. Moisture will not transfer from a saturated atmosphere to another if that air is already at or above its saturation point, meaning the air can't hold any more water vapor. Once I understood that water is produced as a by product during cellular respiration, specifically at the very end of the electron transport chain (ETC) where electrons are finally transferred to molecular oxygen, the higher the RH of the air, the more resistance there is for more moisture to be added to that environment, and effects the ease with which it does so. But none of that water comes from the pot; it's pulled from the air. If you run high daytime RH, your medium/pot is 100% reliant on transpirational root pull to move water. ZERO evaporation happens across the atmosphere if the tent air has high RH%, the medium cannot release its water through evaporation. Once a canopy develops, light no longer slowly wicks and evaporates from the topsoil. The Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC) describes the continuous pathway and process of water movement, driven by a gradient in water potential, from the soil, through the plant's roots, stem, and leaves, and finally evaporating into the atmosphere through transpiration. There is evaporation, there is transpiration, and then there is evapotranspiration; Evapotranspiration (ET) is the combined total of two processes: evaporation (water lost directly from soil and surface water into the atmosphere) and transpiration (water released from plants to the atmosphere through their leaves). Evapotranspiration represents the total amount of water that moves from the medium into the air. There is no such thing as a medium with too much water, only a medium that retains too much for too long. The water must always flow efficiently from one atmosphere(Medium) to another(Air) in a timely manner. Moisture is a critical factor for bacterial growth and decay. Dictating how long it's allowed to sit in any one location for any given period is a key preferred control. To ensure a net reduction in a bacterial population, the rate of removal (ET) must exceed the rate of bacterial growth (decay rate), which is often modeled as a growth rate for the specific bacterium under the given conditions. By optimizing daytime VPD, we also optimize conditions for bacterial growth to explode exponentially above 77°F.. If water is allowed to sit in a medium without an escape within a timeframe, nothing good will happen. IF High RH is maintained overnight as well as during the day, placing 100% of water movement at the behest of daytime transpiration, roots can only pull where they can reach, and if soil is compressed above a certain point, moisture will become trapped in a medium with no way of moving day or night. This will begin the countdown for decay to take hold. When water stagnates in a medium, it loses oxygen, creating anaerobic conditions that foster the growth of harmful microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which can produce toxins and disease vectors. Thigmomorphogenesis, the process by which plants respond to mechanical stimuli like touch by altering their growth and development, results in significant morphological changes to improve survival against mechanical perturbations. This complex response involves sensing touch and initiating physiological and genetic responses, leading to changes in form and structure over days or weeks. The process is triggered by physical forces such as wind, rain, or touch. Plants adapt to these stimuli by changing their shape and structure, which may include slower growth, thickened stems, or altered leaf development. Plants possess sophisticated mechanisms to detect even subtle mechanical stimuli and initiate responses. A variety of molecules, including calcium ions, jasmonates, ethylene, and nitric oxide, are involved in signaling these mechanical inputs. Touch can induce the expression of genes that encode proteins for calcium sensing, cell wall modification, and defense mechanisms. A plant exposed to constant wind may become shorter and sturdier. A plant that is touched frequently might grow more slowly to conserve energy and develop thicker cell walls. These changes increase a plant's resilience and ability to survive in harsh environments. Let's get Thiggy with it.

Sep 7: nice lemony smell happening and the buds are forming. Not a particularly fast flowering plant but it’s going good. Sep 8: got some time under the UV light this afternoon. Once the Blueberry Pie is done she’ll get more UV light hours but for now she has to wait her turn. Sep 12: cool nights starting to cause some purple colour. Nice smell to her, but really leafy and seems a bit slow. Watered with potassium silicate and cal-mag today.

# Purple CousKush Auto — Pheno B 🌱💜 ## Week 1 Vegetation | Every Plant Deserves Its Chance Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome back for another Week 1 update. This time we're following Purple CousKush Auto Pheno B. And if I'm being honest, this little lady had a considerably rougher start than her sister. From the very beginning, her growth appeared unusual. The first leaves emerged twisted and distorted. Development was slower. Structure looked irregular. And more than once during the week she reminded me that seedlings don't always follow the textbook. But one thing I've learned over the years is that plants deserve patience. Especially during their earliest days. Because sometimes the seedlings that struggle the most at the beginning end up teaching us the most by the end. --- ## A Difficult Beginning The first photographs reveal a plant that was clearly having a harder time establishing herself. The earliest leaves emerged with significant deformation. Some growth appeared folded. Some appeared twisted. The structure lacked the symmetry seen in many of her sisters. At first glance, she looked fragile. Yet despite those imperfections, she kept growing. And that detail matters. Because healthy plants don't always grow perfectly. Sometimes healthy plants simply keep moving forward despite adversity. --- ## Watching the New Growth One of the most important lessons during seedling development is learning where to focus your attention. The oldest leaves tell us where the plant has been. The newest growth tells us where the plant is going. And throughout this week, the newest growth slowly began showing encouraging signs. The center growth remained active. New tissue continued forming. Fresh leaves emerged. And although the plant still looked unusual compared to the rest of the garden, she never stopped trying to grow. That's exactly what we want to see. Progress. Not perfection. --- ## Finding Her Own Path By the middle of the week, the differences between Pheno A and Pheno B became increasingly apparent. While her sister quickly normalized, this phenotype continued expressing a much more unusual structure. Yet there is something fascinating about that. Every seed carries its own genetic story. Some express themselves in predictable ways. Others choose a more complicated introduction. Purple CousKush Auto Pheno B appears to belong firmly in the second category. And honestly? Those are often the plants I become most curious about. --- ## Signs of Improvement As the week progressed, small improvements began appearing throughout the plant. The newest growth looked stronger. The center growth became more active. The canopy slowly expanded. And despite the rough start, the plant never stopped developing. The final photographs show a seedling that is still quirky, still unusual, and still far from textbook perfect. But they also show something equally important: A plant that is alive. Growing. Adapting. And continuing to move forward. --- ## Not Every Star Looks the Same One thing I always try to remember during projects like this is that not every plant is supposed to look identical. In a room full of vigorous seedlings, it's easy to focus on the strongest performers. But every phenotype deserves the opportunity to reveal what it can become. This girl may never be the fastest. She may never be the prettiest. Or perhaps she surprises all of us in the weeks ahead. That's the beauty of growing from seed. The story is still being written. And for now, I'm certainly not giving up on her. She deserves the same chance as every other plant in the room. Whatever kind of star she decides to become, she'll have the opportunity to become it. --- ## 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 focus remained on root establishment and allowing the plant time to develop at her own pace. --- ## Looking Ahead Moving into Week 2, I'll be paying close attention to: 🌱 New growth quality 🌱 Recovery of the growing tips 🌱 Structural development 🌱 Overall vigor 🌱 Whether the unusual early growth begins to normalize 🌱 The unique personality this phenotype may reveal Because some plants start fast. Some start slow. And some take the scenic route. Purple CousKush Auto Pheno B is definitely taking the scenic route so far. And honestly, that's part of what makes her interesting. For now, she remains in the garden, remains under observation, and remains very much part of the journey. Let's see what story she decides to tell next. 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. 🌱💚💜 "In a room full of stars, every light shines differently. Some just take a little longer to reveal their brightness." 🌱

Week three went well. Continue to find a few balls here and there but not much. A few odd mutations showing early week 4 (buds on fan leaves). Explosive growth of buds/pistals for me anyway. Happy with the progress. Stack em. Pack em and rack em!

Bueno, le salió la radícula en las primeras 24h, pero quise esperar a que se desarrollara más antes de transpartarla al sustrato, tras pasar más de 48h me quedé sorprendido que siguiera (aparentemente) igual, la pase a la tierra(💦mojada en el centro con 100ml del agua que utilicé para germinarla), se me hizo eterno esperar a que sacara la cabeza, tremenda alegría al 4 día ❤️🙌🌱, al ver el sustrato relativamente seco volví a mojar💦(esta vez con la mitad, 50ml aprox.). Decidí comer hummus (como ella jijiji) y ponerle el plástico de invernadero con la idea de manter la humedad alta💦💦💦

D65 Just a few days until the harvest, I'm checking the evolution of the trichomes and buds, we'll see what happens, I spent a lot of energy and hours I hope it will be worth it, meanwhile in my house there is the scent of ripe oranges and strawberries I hope to find the same aroma in the smoke. D68 Tomorrow early morning I will harvest Purple Lemonade, no words for describe this magnificent plant! D69 Tomorrow early morning I will harvest Banana Purple Punch and Cream cookies
