June 19, day 91, the grow has gotten close to harvest time, so I am begining to reduce the nutrient EC for this upcoming week. I will then give the plant 24-48 hours of darkness, along with very low EC water before harvest. I continue to take leaves off as needed for canopy exposure, but I think the buds have pretty much reached the size they are going to get. While the density of the canopy has limited lower development, there are about 50-100 top bud sites which will each be a minimum of a couple grams dried (and some much more), so I am pretty excited to see the final wet a d dry harvest weights. The buds themselves are hard and resinous, glittering nicely when not under the strong LEDs. The smell is sweet, fruity, and floral, mild but pleasant. I have noticed more clear trichomes than I would be used to for the stage in the grow (although plenty of cloudy and amber as well). I have a suspect this might be due to genetics, and contributes to the euphoric high this strain in known for. June 21, day 93, worked to expose more underdeveloped bud during this final ripening period. It's coming along! June 23, day 95, the Euforia is ripening. A lower bud became light bleached when they were suddenly exposed to light, and I am interested to see what happens to it after harvest. Overall the buds are a lovely light purple/pink and are hard with trichomes.

Greetings growers,I took the two girls out of the greenhouse because it is getting very hot, they will finish flowering outside. Both are starting to produce beautiful compact flowers that are getting bigger every day. Starting to smell very good around here.😎

Well its been a while. I'm social distancing from this site. 😂😂😂😂 Harvested the three Tangerine Hybrids Tangerine Slurpee Tangerine Fart Tahoe Sour Tangerine All smell incredible, these tester's will be a welcome addition to my flower stash. Sour Patch Kids x Sour Fire and Tahoe OGKB x Sour Fire Kush are out to flower now. I hope they don't reveg on me. And last but not least AJ's cut Sour Diesel is out to flower also. Fingers crossed they stay flowering. 🤗

Day 43 this orange is running absolutely faster than the last I did. Every day flowers are getting bigggers and resin is awful to be at 42 days. I’m really loving aptus product, but I really can’t ell what’s is pushing her so fast. Behind, in the video, you can see another auto is a strawberry banana and germinated with just 24 h difference but is starting just now to get into flowering, same soil ‘, same feeding.. incredible Let’s see what s happen

I’m getting so jazzed about this Bruce Banner Auto, upside down grow. Week 8 and she’s getting thicker everyday. I wasn’t sure if she would really amount to a nice grow but it has surpassed my expectations and is turning into a beautiful plant, no real issues to speak of, I do put her under cover every night and pay extra attention to this one but over all what a great experiment #peace ✌️🌱✌️

NOTES: I stopped using the root stimulator as I fill the tanks, next full nutrient solution change to mid-bloom phase is at around 3rd to 4th week flowering. I'll I stop using the Grow nutrient and will increase Bloom the same amount. A lot of training on upper parts with the net and some light defoliating on lower parts of the plants. Day57 (12.12.) Day58 (13.12.) Defoliated and pruned my plants a bit more. Removed some big fan leaves covering large areas of becoming bud sites but mostly focused on lower leaves growing inwards, blocking growth, airflow etc.. Added a video afterwards. Day59 (14.12.) Day60 (15.12.) I continued doing the same as before, light defoliation mostly under the canopy. Day61 (16.12.) Day62 (17.12.) Everything looks good and my teenagers are finally beginning to flower, also no signs of any males or hermaphodites so that's good. Filling the net and keeping the tops and bud sites at the same level is a lot of work since they've stretched a lot. They've also needed some pruning and defoliating but I've tried to not remove too much before they've finished growing bigger. After that, propably on 4th week of flowering I can decide better on what to remove and what to keep for the rest of the grow. Day63 (18.12.) I started the last heavier defoliation process which includes removing around 50% of the upper leaves blocking airflow and light to the developing bud sites. I'll continue the process propably a couple days so I don't stress them too much. It's pretty time-consuming to dive in to each plant and remove anything that's unneccessary for the rest of the grow, keeping that in mind I don't even have the time to do everything at once. This includes the bottom nodes and branches that aren't going to reach even close to the net, the leaves that are blocking the light on top, and the leaves at the bottom of the canopy that aren't getting basically any light. Thanks for the tips! 💪

Wie man sieht, haben sich in den letzten Tagen viele neue Triebe entwickelt, was zeigt, dass die Scrog-Methode langsam Früchte trägt. Die gleichmäßige Verteilung der Triebe füllt das Netz gut aus und sorgt dafür, dass das Licht optimal genutzt wird. Dies wird in den kommenden Wochen zu einer gleichmäßigeren und ertragreicheren Blüte führen. Es ist beeindruckend zu sehen, wie sich die Pflanze dank dieser Technik entfaltet und auf das Training reagiert. Da es tagsüber sehr warm wird habe ich die lichtphase auf nachts eingestellt also zwischen 21:30 un 9:30..

9/8/2024 day 1 of veg. looking happy and healthy. im dealing with fungus gnats from other plants in the tent. i think the peat pellet wrapping is keeping them from damaging the young roots at the moment. im using diatomaceous earth in an attempt to keep them at bay. 9/11 day 4 theyre starting to show small differences. excited to see where these 9/12 so far im noticing one plant that stands out from the rest. she has longer petioles than the rest and seems taller and lankier. its still early on though so hard to say anything yet for

nothing to describe yet , germination was pretty easy, strong seeds. Now waiting for them to pop out. 😵

Finally got my pH and ppm pen this week, I flushed the plant with 7.4ph water tested the run off and it was at 5.8 pH so the rain water lowered it a fair bit, the ppm was at 1800 which is my fault for feeding it a little too much power feed, I flushed it twice the run off on the second one was showing 6.9ph and 550ppm which is much better for the plant. It took the watering really well, I am a little concerned about the pre flowers I've spotted tho.

The Lemon Cherry Gelato is a really strong plant. Even though it's being pushed around from both sides, it's still managing to hold its own. I hope we'll soon see how beautiful its buds will be, even if there aren't many.

Big time stretching and flower growth. Did another decent defoliation. These Forbidden runtz have very dense foliage. Was wondering if I needed a second net. I'm glad I got it. If you count the vertical portion of the plant stem we are at roughly 30" total growth so far. #1 is acting slow, prob due to heavy defoliating. I will let her run course at her own pace. It is what it is at this point. Learning thru doing is the best way to learn imho. Wonder full week. Targeted #s were ec 1.6-1.7 and ph 6.0-6.2

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 13 ✨ The Macro World Has Entered the Chat ❄️🔬💜 Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And this week... I think we need to get a little closer. 😂 Because from across the room, Purple CousKush Pheno A already looks beautiful. But then you pick up the camera... You move closer... And then closer again... And suddenly... OH MY GOD. 😂💜❄️🔬 The macro world is absolutely ridiculous. The density. The frost. The trichomes. The detail. The way the flowers are packed together. It's one of those moments where you think you already know what the plant looks like... and then the macro lens basically says: "No. You have seen NOTHING yet." 😂📸❄️ And that's exactly what happened with this girl this week. Purple CousKush Pheno A is shining. But when we stop looking at her as a whole plant and start looking at the individual flowers... WOW. Just wow. 💜🌸❄️ ──────────────────────── 🔬 WEEK 13 – WELCOME TO THE MACRO WORLD This week, the big story isn't really about the overall plant. It's about what's happening inside the flowers. Because from a normal distance, she looks beautiful. But the closer we get... the more impressive she becomes. The flowers are dense. The trichome coverage is incredible. The resin production is absolutely catching my attention. And the amount of detail packed into these little structures is just... beautiful. ❄️❄️❄️ This is exactly why I love photography. You can walk into the room every day and look at the same plant. You know she's beautiful. You know she's frosty. You know she's developing. But then you photograph her properly... and suddenly you discover another world. A microscopic little universe hiding inside the flowers. And Purple CousKush is giving us a VERY nice view of that universe. 💜🔬🌸 ──────────────────────── ❄️ THE FROST IS NO JOKE Let's talk about the obvious. The frost. 😂❄️ Because this girl is absolutely covered. When you're looking at the plant normally, you already see that beautiful frosty appearance. But once we start moving into the macro world... it's a completely different story. Trichomes everywhere. Structures covered in resin. Little details that you simply cannot appreciate from a normal distance. And that's what makes these photographs so satisfying. You suddenly realize just how much is happening on every flower. It's not just: "Nice frosty plant." It's: "Wait... HOW MUCH FROST IS ACTUALLY ON THIS THING?" 😂❄️💜 And then you zoom in again. And somehow... there's even more. ──────────────────────── 🌸 DENSE. BEAUTIFUL. PACKED. Another thing that's really catching my attention is the density. The flowers aren't just visually frosty. They're looking beautifully packed together. There is so much structure happening inside these little flowers that the macro photographs almost make them look like completely different plants. From across the room: Beautiful flowering plant. From close range: A little forest of flowers, resin and trichomes. 😂🌿🔬 That's one of the things I love about this stage. The plant has already built the structure. Now we get to appreciate the details inside it. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is giving us plenty of details to appreciate. 💜🌸❄️ ──────────────────────── 📸 THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE CAMERA I honestly think photography changes the way you grow. Not because the camera does anything to the plant... but because it makes you LOOK. Really look. You stop. You focus. You examine. You notice things you might otherwise walk straight past. And when I start looking at Purple CousKush through the macro lens... I can easily lose myself in there. 😂📸🔬 One flower becomes another photograph. Another angle reveals another layer. The trichomes catch the light. The pistils create contrast. The flower structure becomes almost architectural. And suddenly... I've forgotten that I was supposed to be doing something else. 😂 This is the kind of photography I really enjoy. Not just taking a picture of a plant. Actually exploring the plant. ──────────────────────── 😂 I MAY HAVE MIXED UP THE STACKS And now I have to confess something. I may have mixed up some of the stacking photographs between Purple CousKush Pheno A and her sister. 😂💜 When you're dealing with this many photographs, this many merged stacks and two sisters developing alongside each other... well... sometimes the photographer becomes part of the experiment. 😂📸 So I'm dividing some of those beautiful macro results between this report and the next one. And honestly? I'm not even disappointed. Because the funny part is... both girls are looking absolutely incredible when we get close. Both are showing amazing frost. Both have beautiful flower structures. Both are giving us those ridiculous trichome-covered macro views. So even if I accidentally swapped a few stacks... I know I'm not losing anything. The next report will give her sister her own spotlight too. And you'll understand exactly what I mean. These two girls are absolutely worth getting close to. 💜🔬💜🔬 ──────────────────────── 👀 THE ROOM VIEW VS. THE MACRO VIEW This is another thing I love about the 8×8 Adventure. You can look at the room... and see twelve plants. You can look at an individual plant... and see one phenotype. Then you take a macro photograph... and suddenly you're looking at something completely different again. It's almost like three different levels of observation. 🌿 The room. 🌸 The plant. 🔬 The flower. And each level tells you something different. The room tells us how different the genetics are behaving together. The plant tells us the phenotype's overall personality. The macro photograph tells us what is happening inside the flowers. And this week... the macro world is winning. 😂💜❄️ ──────────────────────── 💜 PURPLE COUSKUSH IS STILL KEEPING ME CURIOUS Even after all these weeks, I still find myself looking at this girl and thinking: "What exactly are you going to become?" 😂 She continues to evolve. She continues to develop. And now that we're looking this closely, I'm becoming even more interested in the details. The flower density. The resin. The trichomes. The way the individual structures are developing. Everything is becoming more pronounced. And I don't want to force a conclusion. I want to let her show us. That's one of the most enjoyable parts of this entire project. We start with genetics. We provide the same general environment. And then... we watch the genetics speak. Purple CousKush is speaking pretty loudly right now. 💜🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌿 SAME ROOM. DIFFERENT EXPRESSION. And once again, we come back to the heart of the 8×8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting ecosystem. Same overall nutritional philosophy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And completely different expressions. That's what makes this project so much fun. You can't simply say: "This is what the genetics do." Because which plant? Which phenotype? Which individual expression? The sisters can be right beside each other and still give us different stories. And that's exactly what we're documenting. Purple CousKush Pheno A has her own story. Her sister has hers. And now we're getting to see those stories in microscopic detail. 💜💜 ──────────────────────── 💡 SAME PHOTONS. DIFFERENT RESULT. The lighting environment remains part of the same upgraded Future of Grow Black Series setup we've been running throughout the room. The additional Black Series 600W fixtures continue giving the room more lighting capability and flexibility. But once again... the interesting part isn't simply the light. It's what the plants do with it. The same artificial sun shines over the room. The same photons reach the canopy. And then... the genetics decide what happens. Purple CousKush has taken those photons and turned them into this. Flowers. Density. Resin. Trichomes. And an absolutely ridiculous macro subject. 😂☀️💜❄️ That's the experiment. We provide the stage. The genetics put on the performance. ──────────────────────── ⚗️ THE BIG WORK IS STILL BEHIND US And just like the previous weeks... there isn't much for me to do physically with this girl. And that's actually a good thing. The major structural work has already happened. The room is established. The plants are established. The flowers are established. Now? We maintain. We observe. We document. And we let the plants continue doing what they already know how to do. Sometimes growing means doing things. Sometimes growing means making decisions. And sometimes... growing means standing there with a camera saying: "Jesus Christ..." 😂📸 I'll happily accept that job. ──────────────────────── 🔬 THE MACRO WORLD NEVER GETS OLD I have to admit... I really love macro photography. There is something almost addictive about seeing these flowers at that level of detail. You start looking at one trichome. Then another. Then the surrounding resin. Then the flower structure. Then suddenly you're completely lost. 😂🔬❄️ It's like entering another world. And that's why I don't mind spending time with these photographs. Because when you get a result like this... it's not just documentation anymore. It's appreciation. You're looking at something the naked eye simply cannot fully appreciate. And Purple CousKush is giving us a fantastic subject for it. ──────────────────────── 📸 EVERY STACK TELLS A LITTLE STORY One of the things I enjoy about stacking photographs is that it lets us capture details that a single frame simply can't communicate in the same way. A flower isn't just one flat object. It's depth. Layers. Different surfaces. Different structures. And when all of those little details come together... you get an image that makes you stop. That's what I'm seeing with these Purple CousKush photographs. And honestly... some of them make me want to keep going. Another stack. Another flower. Another angle. Another close-up. 😂📸 But eventually... the camera battery wins. ──────────────────────── ❄️ SUPER FROSTY. SUPER DENSE. SUPER BEAUTIFUL. If I had to summarize the visual impression of this week in three words: Frosty. Dense. Beautiful. 💜❄️🌸 That's it. The flowers are looking fantastic. The trichome coverage is impressive. The density is becoming increasingly obvious. And the macro photographs really bring everything together. This is one of those weeks where I don't need to over-explain what I'm seeing. The photographs are doing most of the talking. And I love that. Because sometimes... you don't need a thousand words. You just need to look closer. 🔬💜 ──────────────────────── 😂 THE PHOTOGRAPHER HAS A PROBLEM And that problem is... I keep wanting to photograph everything. 😂📸 You get one beautiful macro. Then you think: "Okay, that's enough." Then you move the camera slightly. "OH... wait." Another photograph. Then another. Then another. And suddenly you've spent far too much time staring at one flower. 😂 But honestly? I don't mind. Because this is one of the parts of the grow I genuinely enjoy. The plants give us the subject. The camera lets us explore it. And the macro world gives us something completely different to appreciate. ──────────────────────── 🌸 LET HER FLOWERS SPEAK At this stage, I don't need to tell Purple CousKush what to do. She's already doing it. The flowers are developing. The density is there. The frost is there. The resin is there. The structure is there. And now we're simply watching the final stages unfold. That's the beautiful thing about reaching this part of the journey. You start to see the result of everything that came before. All the earlier decisions. All the earlier growth. All the earlier work. Now... we get to appreciate it. 💜🌿 ──────────────────────── 🔍 WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? At this point, I'm watching the details. ❄️ Trichome development. 🌸 Flower development. ⚖️ Density and structure. 💜 Overall expression. 📸 And, of course, whatever the macro lens decides to reveal next. 😂 I'm not trying to predict the ending. I'm not trying to force a timeline. I'm simply watching. And enjoying. Because this girl is giving me plenty to enjoy. ──────────────────────── 👑 GIVE HER THE SPOTLIGHT Purple CousKush Pheno A deserves her spotlight this week. Not because something dramatic happened. Not because we changed everything. Not because she suddenly became a completely different plant. But because... when we looked closer... WOW. 😂💜❄️🔬 Sometimes the magic isn't visible from across the room. Sometimes you have to walk closer. And then closer again. And then put a macro lens in front of it. And that's where the magic is. So yes... this week belongs to Purple CousKush. Let's give her the spotlight. Let's get close. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate the trichomes. And let's enjoy the macro world. ──────────────────────── 💭 FINAL THOUGHTS — SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK CLOSER Week 13. Purple CousKush Auto. Pheno A. And this week... I'm not going to overcomplicate it. She's shining. 💜✨ She's beautiful from a distance. She's even more beautiful up close. And when we enter the macro world? Absolutely ridiculous. 😂🔬❄️ The flower density. The resin. The trichomes. The detail. Everything is coming together beautifully. And yes... I may have mixed up a few of the stacking photographs between her and her sister. 😂 But honestly? Looking at both girls closely has only made me more impressed. So we'll divide the evidence. Some beautiful macro shots for this girl. And her sister will get her own spotlight in the next report. Because both deserve it. For now... I'm simply enjoying this girl. I'm enjoying the flowers. I'm enjoying the photography. I'm enjoying the macro world. And I'm enjoying the fact that after all these weeks, Purple CousKush can still make me stop and say: "Wow." 💜🌸❄️🔬 That's what I want from this adventure. Not perfection. Not predictability. Discovery. And this girl is giving us plenty of that. So... let her shine. Let her keep developing. Let her keep showing us what she wants to become. And let's keep getting closer. Because apparently... the closer we look... the better it gets. 💜❄️🌸🔬✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 THANK YOU Another week. Another chapter.

This week... you made me get closer. 😂💜🔬 From the room... to the plant... to the flower... to the macro world... and suddenly: WOW. ❄️❄️❄️ Super frosty. Super dense. Absolutely beautiful. And packed with those little details that make photography so damn enjoyable. So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep getting closer. And let's let the plant write the rest of the story. The big work is behind us. The flowers are doing the talking now. And the camera? Well... the camera is having the time of its life. 😂📸💜 Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle... where the plants keep evolving, the flowers keep getting denser, the trichomes keep sparkling, the macro lens keeps getting closer, and Purple CousKush keeps reminding us that sometimes... the real magic starts when you stop looking from across the room. 🔬💜❄️🌸 Let her shine. And let's see what we discover when we look even closer. 💜✨

Girls doing well this week will update soon.

That was the most difficult week. It was very cold and rainy, the humidity of the air reached 90% at most, but without sequels, thank God. On day 63, I defoliated and she is strong, fat and definitely smells like cheese.

i have only this video

Candy has been growing good. I switched h her light times today. So her flower adventure is getting started. I will likely be doing a solution change next update for blooming nutrition. I trimmed some of the under growth, and some defoliation in the rest. Everything is looking good, and she seems ready to go. Thank you Spider Farmer, Athena, and Divine Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.
