💜 Week 5 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno A) Every Plant Has Its Own Rhythm One of my favourite parts of growing from seed is watching each plant develop its own personality. This Purple CousKush has shared the exact same environment, feeding schedule, lighting, and care as the rest of the project since day one. She germinated under the same conditions, transitioned into the same 12/12 flowering schedule from seed, and has been treated exactly the same throughout her journey. Yet, despite identical conditions, she’s chosen her own pace. While several of her roommates rushed head-first into flowering, this young lady has taken a more measured approach, focusing first on building a solid structure before fully committing her energy to bloom. And honestly… I’m perfectly happy to let her tell her story. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development This week she continued her steady transition into flower. Standing at approximately 66 cm, she has developed an elegant, open structure with excellent internodal spacing and strong vertical growth. Rather than producing large clusters of pistils all at once, she is introducing flowers gradually across every branch, giving the impression that she’s carefully preparing her framework before beginning the real work of stacking buds. The LST performed during the previous weeks continues to pay dividends, allowing multiple flowering sites to receive excellent light exposure while maintaining a balanced canopy. Her stems have thickened nicely, the branching remains symmetrical, and every day she seems just a little more confident. Some plants explode. Others simply keep making quiet, consistent progress. This Purple CousKush definitely belongs in the second category. ⸻ 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions Like the rest of the Project Blue Tent, environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week. * 12/12 lighting schedule from seed * Future of Grow Black Series LED delivering approximately 850 PPFD * Mammoth Pro tent with excellent airflow * Day temperature around 31°C * Relative humidity averaging 72% * CO₂ around 639 ppm Even under these warm summer conditions, she has remained healthy, vibrant and stress-free, showing no signs of environmental discomfort. Although she hasn’t advanced into flowering quite as quickly as some of the other phenotypes, her overall health leaves absolutely no reason for concern. She’s simply moving at her own rhythm. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program Unlike several other plants in the room, this Purple CousKush is also being hand-watered and is not connected to the AutoPot system. Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container, she received approximately 0.9 litres of nutrient solution per watering. This week’s feeding consisted of: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L The feeding program continues to provide everything she needs. Her foliage remains a healthy deep green, new growth is vigorous, and the root zone appears to be supporting strong, uninterrupted development. At this stage there is no reason to change something that is clearly working. ⸻ 🌸 Phenotype Notes This phenotype is another wonderful reminder that growing is never about comparing one plant against another. It would be easy to look across the room and notice that several plants have already pushed further into flowering. But that’s not the point. Every seed carries its own expression. Some begin flowering earlier. Some stretch more aggressively. Some invest additional time building structure before stacking flowers. This Purple CousKush seems determined to build patiently before asking for the spotlight, and I have complete confidence in allowing her to follow that path naturally. Growing isn’t a race. Harvest day eventually arrives for everyone. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should be very exciting. Now that flowering has clearly begun, I expect to see the stretch gradually slow while the energy shifts toward developing larger flower clusters across every branch. Her open structure should provide excellent airflow and light penetration as the buds begin to bulk up, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this phenotype expresses the beautiful colours and aromas Purple CousKush is known for later in bloom. Until then, the plan remains wonderfully simple: Stay patient. Stay consistent. Let her do what nature intended. ⸻ 💭 Final Thoughts Not every plant needs to be the fastest to become memorable. This Purple CousKush reminds me that one of the greatest lessons gardening teaches us is patience. We can create the ideal environment, provide balanced nutrition and careful training, but ultimately each plant decides the pace of its own journey. Right now she looks healthy, balanced and full of potential, and that’s more than enough for me. The flowers will come. The stacking will come. The weight will come. For now, I’m simply enjoying watching her become exactly the plant she wants to be. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following along with this adventure. Your comments, encouragement, questions and shared experiences make these diaries far more enjoyable than if I were growing alone. A special thank you to all of the incredible companies helping make this project possible: 💜 Zamnesia for the genetics. 💜 Plagron for the nutrition. 💜 Future of Grow for the amazing lighting. 💜 TrolMaster for helping keep everything under control. And finally, thank you, the GrowDiaries community. Whether you’ve been here since the very beginning or you’ve only just joined this journey, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment, every like and every bit of support. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Tiene unos cogollos bien duros y compactos,son muy pegajosos y los pistilos son de un naranja radioactivo,tiene un aroma muy rico como terroso y mentolado

Been a busy week getting the new setup going. She has been going really well , first week of flower , interested to see how she goes. She is a nice little plant problem free so far.

Day 24 - Topped above the 3rd node - Removed the 1st node - Tried out my new diy foggphonic cloner Day 27 - clone looks not brilliant but it still alive, we will see - LST goes on - watering 1,5 L with 2 millionen sf nematoden Day 30 Topped the lower branches

4/12 Week 3 Just basic CocoTek, good growth from the girls. Baba is dang pretty, Athena is a BIG girl and then there is Sally and her friend 😳. Upped the nuets on the evening feeding to 4ml/gal , Athena seems like she is trying to make up the difference all on her own. Going to help her if we can Start getting the 5 gal pots made up tomorrow, wont be long to transplant. 4/13 pics 4/14 Athena is just busting to grow, transplanting today as keeping her in the germ tent would be holding her back. Other two are fine and more normal sized for LSD-25. Nuets remain as is for now. UPDATE: Athena Transplanted into 5 gal 30% perlite PREPARED coco, ppm from coco almost nil. Pot treated with kangaroots and fish sh!t to run off. Great root development even exiting the garden bag and the solo cup. Gave her a house warming present, kangaroots, fish sh!t, and regular feed 2 cups lots of runoff. Light at 20"ish for time being. 4/15 Pics Training day tomorrow for Athena, just LST bend and secure. Baba and Sally/Jane will be transplanted at end of week. 4/16 First bend on Athena Transplant finished gave them a shot of fish sh!t and kangaroots Root development in the garden bags is just remarkable. Upper nuets slightly Only using the Mars LED for now, no need to crank up the HID just yet. 4/17 Pics Just waiting on enough growth out of Sally and Baba to make training easier, could be today as getting good growth daily. 4/18 all trained

Planta de fácil de cultivar y no muy exigente, en este caso usé solo productos orgánicos y también añadí cultivo de cobertura para enriquecer con nitrógeno el suelo y evitar la erosión del mismo. Un rendimiento bastante prudente y de calidad, estoy escribiendo esto luego de terminar el proceso de cultivo, secado y curado. En la siguiente reseña describiré sabores, aromas y sensaciones. Buenos humos!

Really fun plant to grow out I got just over a quarter pound dry, I really dig the taste of this lady like a pastry of some kind with a cherry finish. Over all excellent finished product very pleased about it.

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 💚 Nach der siebten Wachstumswochen entwickelt sich die Orange Bud solide. Die neuen Blätter sehen sehr Gesund aus und insgesammt hat sich die Pflanze gut entwickelt. Oldschool Baby! 💚 Die Blattstruktur sieht wunderschön aus! Und dieses helle Grün auf den glänzenden Blättern, wirkt sehr elegant. Die Pflanzenstruktur ist wunderschön und echt Mal wieder empfehlenswert allen die in letzter Zeit die ganzen Hype Strains ballern. Die Seittriebe beginnen nun in die Breite zu gehen und kommen allmählich gut hervor. Die unteren Triebe wurden rausgeschnitten, damit die Pflanze nun ihr Potential nach oben entfalten kann. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aktuell gut: ————— 🌞 Temp: 23 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 62% VPD: 0,7 kPa 💡ppfd: 330 mpm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

Day 22 25/07/24 Thursday Still no Feed/water since Tuesday. Been a humid and overcast two days so not as much evaporation as normal. All plants happy and healthy 💚 Video updates Day 23 26/07/24 Friday De-chlorinated watering pH 6 with 5ml calmag to 5L water. Watered each with 250ml and had small run off. I will continue to feed/water with small run offs to help prevent salt build ups. Video update. Day 26 29/07/24 Monday Nice feed today, using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. They each had 300ml with small run off. All looks incredibly happy and healthy! The Auto Kabul that was mutated and twisted has pulled herself through and is just a bit shorter than the others. Day 28 31/07/24 Wednesday End of week😁 De-chlorinated water pH 6 today with Plagron pk13-14 5ml to 5L Plagron power buds 5ml to 5L Used 300ml of the 5L solution. I will be using these on water days from now on as they are advised to be used every irrigation. We'll see how they perform 💪💚

Week five!!!! Ok guys, So I waited way too long to flip LMFAO. I hope I have made it through most of the stretch and as you can see I may be able to get the lights 8 more inches up to the ceiling in an emergency but let's hope it doesn't get to that point. I have reduced the Base nutrients and added 2 additives. A big problem I noticed today 13 Jan was that the water pump was moving hella slow. I had to wait a long time to add each nutrient so that I didn't just burn the first plant in the system. I have 2 pumps in the mail though so we are good. Humidity will spikes maybe 3x but I always bring it back to 50% RH. For the next round, I'm going to have to be really aggressive with my training techniques. these things just get huge so fast and I wasn't ready for a 10-week flower cycle. oh due to the pump issue don't trust the TDS amount this week. I'm sure you could ballpark it and I know my system will never go over 1k TDS with everything I'm running currently.

Hello Growers and Tokers! 👋 👩‍🌾 🧑‍🌾.🔥💨 Finally got that transpant done. Added a bit of root juice to help out the transplant. Won't be adding nutes until next week, directly bloom nutes.. Took waaaay to long to transplant. They didn't get any growth becuase of the bad weather these past weeks. Very bummed out about that. Two of the are already in prefower.. the tiniest i hope grows a bit more.. can't really ask for much more given the bad weather and that they're autos.. I'll for sure be doing a re run with this strain with better stable conditions. Take care out there! One love!

Had a lovely smoke all week , weighted in at 149 g of super frosty buds ( I’ve smoked at least 10g )

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Hi everyone :-) This week it has developed really well again :-). I didn't train her this week, I'll do it again next week :-). It was poured twice this week with 1.2 l each time (see nutrient table above for adding nutrients). I sprayed them all with GreenBuzzLiquida Fast Plant spray. I also cleaned the entire tent and checked everyone's health. Fresh osmosis water was prepared and filled into canisters. Yellow boards against flies have been put up and blue tags to prevent trips. Unfortunately I still struggle with them but they have become significantly less pushed. I think in a few weeks the last story should be :-). Otherwise, like every day, they were looked at and petted for a while ;-).
