Questa settimana sta andando bene i fiori stanno diventando più grandi, sono tutti pieni di resina ma sono comunque ancora piccolini, speriamo che ingrossino ancora 🤞🏻 Aggiornamento 17 Novembre: Oggi ho aggiunto una nuova luce di supporto appositamente per illuminare i fiori che sono più indietro rispetto agli altri. La lascerò accesa h24 per vedere se può cambiare qualcosa, nel frattempo alcuni fiori sembra che stiano iniziando ad ingrossare e ad unirsi.

3/13/2024 - Day 15 Flower: Ran into some issues after the last watering. The newest leaves have some severe curling going on, and I've had a few leaves with some minor brown spotting. I'm not 100% sure what caused it, but narrowed it down to either TeaCo Super Tea, Recharge, or the foliar spray I did with Dr. Zymes Eliminator. I did the foliar at lights out, but maybe there was still some residue when the light came back on. Either way, I'm taking it easy on this watering. Gave them 4 gallons of 6.5 ph water mixed with Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Coconut Powder, and a half dose of Rootwise Bio-Catalyst and Yah-Whey. The curling does not seem ro be getting worse, so hopefully they will grow out of this. Also, they have started to slow on rhe stretching, which is good, because they are getting close to the light. 3/14/2023 - Day 16 Flower: So I've been looking at some of the more deformed leaves and I'm pretty sure the leaf curl and brown is from the Dr. Zymes. The leaves with issues appear to have a slight glossy residue to them. I'm guessing when the Dr. Zymes dried on the leaves, it had a reaction when the light came back on. Now that I'm into week 3 of flower, I plan to cut out any foliar sprays, so hopefully I'm right an the issue won't get worse. I had some seeds that I sprouted and forgot to use yesterday, so I made a 2 gallon Sprouted Seed Tea (SST) and added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, Rootwise Bio-Phos, and a half dose of Fermented Comfrey Extract and Fermented Peach Extract. 3/16/2023 - Day 18 Flower: plants are looking good. Flowers are starting to develop and I'm already seeing the beginning of some tricomes. Stretch appears to be just about done, so hopefully it will be smooth sailing from here. The curling from last week has not gotten any worse. 3/17/2023 - Day 19 Flower: watered about 6 gallons of worm tea I brewed for about 24 hours. Added some Jay Plantspeaker Quillaja, BuildASoil BuildABloom, and Rootwise Bio-Catalyst. Also, did some minor defoliation of some of the larger fan leaves blocking lower bud sights. Still need to do more, but I plan to spread it out over a few days. 3/18/2023 - Day 20 Flower: Cleaned them all up real good. Took off all the large fan leaves, except for the top two, and cut off basically anything on the lower half of the plant. May have gone a little higher than I would have liked, now that I'm seeing it done, but too late now. Normally, i only like to take off about 1/3, but i guess we will see what happens when the bottom half is stripped. Always learning around here, haha. Hopefully I should have very little popcorn buds.

🌿 Week 4 – Purple CousKush Auto #12 | Plant A Taking the Lead | 8×8 Adventure One tent. One lighting schedule. One feeding program. The exact same environment. Yet every single plant continues to write her own story. That’s the beauty of this 8×8 Adventure and one of the main reasons I’ve chosen to document every phenotype individually. Growing from seed always brings surprises, and under the 12/12 From Seed experiment, those differences become even more fascinating. This week, the spotlight belongs to Purple CousKush Auto #12 – Plant A. While her sister (Plant B) is only just beginning to settle into pre-flowering, Plant A has already taken a noticeable step forward. Her structure has become more defined, the stretch has quietly begun, and those first flowering sites are now appearing all across the canopy. She’s clearly telling me she’s ready for the next chapter. ⸻ 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure Continues Every week inside this room reminds me that no two plants ever read the same script. Running twelve different cultivars together under a fixed 12-hour photoperiod has become an incredible learning experience. Some varieties rush toward reproduction almost immediately, while others prefer investing more time building branches before flowering. Purple CousKush Plant A seems to have found a wonderful balance between the two. She has built a compact yet well-structured canopy and is now confidently transitioning into bloom without sacrificing healthy vegetative growth. Watching these individual personalities develop is what makes this project so rewarding. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle guidance instead of heavy intervention Training this week remained simple and intentional. The majority of the work has consisted of leaf tucking, allowing larger fan leaves to be repositioned rather than removed. It’s amazing how much additional light can reach developing shoots simply by moving a leaf a few centimeters. Alongside that, I’ve continued some very gentle Low Stress Training, encouraging the branches to spread naturally and create a more even canopy. With autoflowers, I always try to let the plant lead the conversation. Rather than forcing a particular shape, I simply guide the branches where they already want to grow, opening the structure without slowing her momentum. Plant A has responded beautifully. The side branches are now catching up, the center remains open, and new flowering sites are beginning to appear across almost every growing tip. ⸻ ☀️ Beating the summer heat Summer has definitely arrived here. Keeping a grow room comfortable during these warmer weeks becomes a challenge all on its own, even with air conditioning running continuously. Daytime temperatures have been reaching 33°C, while humidity has remained around 63%, creating conditions that demand constant monitoring and small environmental adjustments. Fortunately, the plants continue responding extremely well. Healthy green leaves. Strong stems. Excellent vigor. No signs of nutrient stress or environmental fatigue. Sometimes successful growing isn’t about having perfect numbers… It’s about maintaining stability when nature refuses to cooperate. ⸻ 💧 Week 4 Feeding The nutrient program remains unchanged, providing everything the plants need as they transition into early flower. Feed per litre • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Solution parameters: • EC: 1.35 mS/cm • pH: 6.1 The combination continues producing exactly what I like to see—healthy colour, vigorous new growth, and a plant that’s asking for more light every single day. ⸻ 🌸 First signs of flower Plant A is now clearly ahead of her sister in development. Pre-flower is becoming increasingly obvious, with fresh pistils emerging throughout the upper nodes and new growth beginning to take on that unmistakable early flowering appearance. The stretch is only just beginning, but it’s already easy to imagine how this canopy will develop over the coming weeks. The gentle LST performed earlier is paying off nicely, creating multiple future flowering tops instead of relying on one dominant main cola. It’s still early… But the foundations are there. And they’re looking very promising. ⸻ 🌱 Looking ahead Over the next week I’m expecting Plant A to continue stretching while stacking more flowering sites throughout the canopy. The goal remains exactly the same: Maintain an open structure. Keep every future bud site exposed to quality light. Support healthy root development. And simply let the plant express her genetics at her own pace. One of the greatest lessons from this project has been learning not to compare plants against each other, but to appreciate each one for what she naturally wants to become. Purple Kush Plant A is already showing plenty of character, and I have a feeling she’s only just getting started. ⸻ A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure, reading these updates, leaving comments, sharing ideas, and making this journey even more enjoyable. Your support genuinely motivates me to document every phenotype individually so we can all learn together. Massive thanks as well to Plagron for keeping these ladies thriving with an outstanding nutrient line, and to Zamnesia for providing fantastic genetics that make projects like this possible. Growers Love and see you all next week, where Plant A will continue writing her own story—one leaf, one branch, and soon… one beautiful flower at a time. 🌿💚

Semana 3 de crecimiento y parece que todo va un poco mejor. Las plantas tenían demasiada luz porque los leds estaban a muy poca distancia,. Creo que una de las plantas se llegó a quemar,¿Alguien lo puede confirmar? es la primera vez que lo veo. Aunque parece que poco a poco se va recuperando. Desde que las trasplanté sólo he regado un par de veces. Ahora he aumentado la distancia de la luz y espero que crezcan más fuertes. A partir de ahora empezaré con Top Veg. Por cierto! La AK que tenía el caparazón de la semilla pegado, ahí sigue. Y creo que es la que mejor va! Saludos y buenos humos!

New week. 55-65 DLi. Development seems a little slow, which can be good or bad. Probably give her a PK boost later in the week. The dodecahedron is the only Platonic solid that has infinite numerical pathways.

Day 35 Flower Hey Growers. Things are going well here, other than the delicious funk that is emanating from my house. The carbon filter is not able to keep up with these beauties and the FastBuds flowering at the same time. It’s also about 5 years old so…..time for a new one. It also doesn’t help that the 4 ft of snow around the house is melting and I have to have the grow room door open for the sump line, but whatever. These girls are just cruising along. I watered with 950 ppm and 1650 was the runoff. I’m noticing a bit of tip burn but I hear that normalish for full spectrum leds. They make the plants draw extra mag, seems like the Epsom is helping with that. I’m getting to a point where I may need to water twice a day to achieve denser quality buds, the next couple weeks will dictate that. Hand watering hydro is a terrible idea!!!!!!!!!! Too late to turn back. I am running the Vipar Spectra XS2000 at the recommended 16” at 100%. I’m also alternating from the right to left side of the tent each day like a poor man’s light mover. I’m noticing leaf edge curl (tacoing) but it’s nothing major and they pointing upwards. They seem happy. All in all I’m happy with how it’s going, just gonna keep it on cruise control and tuck or remove leaves causing problems. Happy Growing 🌱

Performed some light lst and topped all plants, then feed some recharge. They bounced back pretty fast they didn’t show no signs of stress so that’s a good thing. I’m give them one more week in the 1 gallons and then transplant to 3 gallon Keep up this grow is epic

Week 5! She's stretching wild. We tried supercropping but she bounced right back up. Then we tried supercropping and holding her down with a trellis net, but she bounced up again. In any case, she really wants to grow and we're currently counting about 12 branches with decent light exposure and bud sites - and about 20 budsites in total. We're keeping all bud sites - even the minor ones - and defoliation is only performed on those leaves that cannot be tucked away. Light cycle is 18/6 and PPFD varies between 450 - 1100. The growing light had to be raised twice this week. While the PLAGRON directions suggest adding Green Sensation starting in week 4 of bloom, we're ignoring those instructions and we'll add it right away. Reason being that those instructions probably reference photo periods. As for the nutritional density, she's holding up quite well so we're providing a higher dose than suggested until she starts showing signs of deficiency (nutrient lockout). Furthermore, the recommended PLAGRON feeding schedule does not specifically mention Power Buds, but their additional information mentioned it to be complimentary and compatible with Green Sensation.
