Everyone is coming out gently. Needed to dig just a bit for some late ones, as I was suspecting, they were stocked under some lil pieces of wood that you can find in organic soils. Watering only once again, after 7 days since last watering, with some more RootBooster. Needing about 60 to 100 ml of water for each cup, till the drain comes out. Seedlings are about 30cm from the neon tubes, under a light airflow to avoid any looney growth. All the conditions are perfect and under control, technically it’s a nice spring weather in the room.

Here we are at the halfway point, after the first month our photoperiod plants are multiplying their florets and then going into flowering. The Purple Urkle has just undergone the topping of 8 florets, you can see the 4 fresh florets just cut. So we are at 8 very small branches growing my program for photoperiodic plants is to get to 16 wait a few days and move on to flowering. 16 Tops as I see it is the perfect size for the 11 liter pot. You are going strong from the beginning there was a bit of a shortage but as I explain this week during the topping everything changes. We are in competitive days, the world lives the competition in a lively way and so if someone were to ask me or were interested which is the best of the photoperiodic plants I have inside for now I would say the Purple Urkle. Topping is an extremely delicate moment as regards cutting the tops to split them, we always take care not to damage the new branches in growth. Topping is also a delicate moment as regards fertilization because the plant slows down and absolutely does not need all that nitrogen that it would normally need and that the producers recommend in their sheets. So you should arrive with the plant green and perfectly fit at this point and dose the fertilizer very well for growth. Mine came from a slightly deficient veg because I kept it low fearing this over effect during the topping that I know well and now they are a bit over. Nothing to worry about, of course, but if you do repeated topping my advice is to use preferred soil or prepare the soil with Monster Bud Mix by Zamnesia or Plagron Super Mix, in short, enrich the soil and from the start and add nitrogen only if necessary, especially during repeated topping. In any case, everything is under control and I will demonstrate it to you during the flowering phase. Wait for the Uncle BreadandBuds and see what he does. Remember the cold temperature makes the girls absorb food much more slowly than in summer so be careful to give the right amount and to dry the plant in maximum 2 days or you risk imbalances. We are still using soil, feeding and all the recommended additives from Plagron 100& organic we just lowered the amount of grow in this topping phase for the reasons above. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilizer schedule according to the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy.. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/11168-zamnesia-seeds-purple-urkle.html Zamnesia Description // A direct descendant of a Mendocino Purps phenotype, Purple Urkle is a high-performance cultivar from Zamnesia Seeds.

Day 92 Day 30 Bloom 42ish days remaining. Pour some SUGAR on meeeee.........wowzers the sugar is really starting to cake the sugar leaves now. Got tons of healthy bud sites forming and the smell is just delightful. Did another decent defoliation to keep all the buds site in the light. Keeps it nice and clean with great air flow. Speaking of air flow I added an oscillating fan to keep the air moving under the canopy better. There is a problem forming that I'll need to take care of this week. Another purchase?? 😡 lol De-humidifier......the humidity is very slow starting to raise. I started with 2 humidifiers on full, then 1 on full, then 1 on min for a bit then no humidifier and now its starting to raise with no humidifier so I'm gonna need to deal with this asap as it will become a very big issue in the future if I let my girls get moldy, but no chance I would let that happen! so i'll be on the search for a decent used one this week or purchase a new one unless I learn something new here, which I probably will. A question this week too. about Harvest. mayb 2 questions. So I hear alot of tricks regarding harvest. 24-48-72 hours of darkness before harvest then cut them in the "dark" meaning dont let the bloom lights come on again before harvest. different flush times and so on. what works best for you guys?! I'm thinking 7 day flush since thats why my nute sched says and it hasnt led me astray yet. I'm considering doing a tiny mid bloom flush reccomended by a friend, i like the idea to give just pure water for 1-2 days and kind of give the plants a break from the massive ppms i'm putting them through although I might skip this step if not needed either. 2nd part of the question, if the flower time for this strain is 70-75 days, I realize I should harvest when most of the tricones are milky and some clear with very little to no amber ones. but if I flush for a week before harvest, how do I know when to start the flush, how long is my harvest time frame for maximized potency. I'm guessing with experience I'll be able to know my girls and say yup harvest is x days out but for this one not too sure. 40ish days til harvest is bittersweet, feels so long but part of me loves it, how big can/will these buds get with another 42 days! Thanks again friends for following, this week the sugar came now I wanna see the weight really start being packed on.

Hello everyone hope you staying cool Cause the weather is over 100 degree and everything is drying and dying. We really need some rain! Anyone with the heat wave I trying keep this gals water up. The biggest one drink water like no tomorrow, well both of them. I give them a tea liquid compost 3.11.11 of organic fertilizers. Just to keep up with the flowering stages she using up a lot nutritions and I’m glad that I was on top of my game with these outdoors grow. Not bad for novice first timer. My family love them. I’m keep in the sun as thst will help with resins production and the bees are doing a fine job pollen them.

Placing a dehumidifier or humidifier in the grow box turned out to be ineffective when both devices have their own automated settings. For instance, a humidifier set to 55% humidity works within a ±5% range, meaning it waits until the humidity drops below 50% to turn on and runs until it hits 60%. Since its sensor refreshes every 30 seconds, it might show 54% one moment and jump to 61% the next—not exactly stable at 55%. The dehumidifier behaves similarly. To achieve more consistent results, it’s better to rely on a hygrometer inside the grow box and use “dumb” devices that simply turn on when powered. Connecting these devices to smart outlets provides more precise control. For manual control, I maintained around 55% humidity by turning the humidifier and exhaust fan on and off via phone. Most moisture and aroma are released during the first three days, then taper off. The common rule of “when thin branches snap, it’s dry” led me to overdry my buds. A more reliable method is to monitor the hygrometer. When humidity stabilizes after the initial rise, wait one more day and then jar the buds. Rehydrating Overdried Buds: Overdried buds can be revived with a small piece of mandarin (or orange) peel, about 2.5x2.5 cm. Thoroughly wash the peel (even sanitize it if needed), cut a square, and place it on top of the buds in the jar. In my experience, this brought the humidity from 46% to 62% within 4 hours. Afterward, burp the jars for 15 minutes and monitor the hygrometer. If the humidity drops below 55%, return the peel for a few more hours. Once stable at 60-62%, remove the peel and continue curing, burping the jars twice daily for 15 minutes. As for humidity packs like Integra Boost or Boveda, I used them because I had some lying around. These packs are designed for 12 grams of product, so they don’t make a big difference in larger jars. If you burp jars daily and gently rotate the buds, they’re not really necessary. Trimming and Results: After 7 days of drying, I decided to trim dry this time. It turned out to be somewhat more convenient—everything gets covered in resin anyway, but the remaining leaves easily fall off, speeding up the process. I went for a tight trim, removing as much as possible. During the process, I felt disappointed seeing how little remained on the branches. The buds turned out airy and small, and I started cursing American genetics halfway through the trim. However, when it came to weighing, the results were surprisingly decent. Considering the buds' poor appearance, they’re not going to impress anyone visually, so it might have been easier to shred everything and use it for extraction. I don’t have extraction equipment, so I’ll make cannabutter from the trim, and the buds can rest in jars for now. Takeaways: Use a proper hygrometer for humidity control, not built-in sensors on humidifiers or dehumidifiers. Overdried buds can be easily rehydrated with citrus peel. Daily burping and rotation are sufficient for curing without humidity packs. Dry trimming can be faster and more convenient but may highlight issues with bud density. Despite underwhelming appearance, high resin content makes the strain great for extraction.

Day 36 - few pics/vid of new tent setup...... "alta 9" fan :) post tomorrow after i finish trimmin and settin up night mode etc...... and into tomorrow we go, lol ... Day 37.... slowly getting there..... little bit more to go... this should make things abit more interesting..... right tank (short babie) has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 150 ml -dutch master one gold FLOWER.... 6.4 PH - 1400 PPM left tank has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 50 ml of elements a and 50ml of b and 10 ml of nitro and 20ml of Crystalic (molasses/pot) .... 6.5 PH - 1200 PPM more pics / vids of the finished tent setup.... roots, transfer, etc... Day 37 is alot of vids of the clean and change to flower..... edit - day after build noticed left tank (nutrifield) not enough bubbles..... pulled out the 4 air pump and swapped to the 2 x original oxipumps... much better, also to fix the problem with ph goin high, and bubbles not stirin the mix, was to add another 10ml of crystallic and another 5ml of nitro... then pumped both tanks with ph down and set em to 5.8-6.2 - both plants have fully recovered from the big trim, and bounced back within 12-24hrs, post pics/vid in abit..... Day 39 - made a freaky video... was curious about what the plants would see looking up at the lights... the lights and buzzing of air compressors and bubbling tank water, and dazzling lights turned out pretty cool in vid editor, was in selfie mode.... and final vid of the bounceback from trim :) 👍😎

Both plants looking slightly different towards the end. #2 is bulkier but less frosty and #1 is the opposite. #2 could be ready now but #1 definitely needs another week or 2. Might take a top off to see how it is now. Looking forward to testing!!

The flowers are smelling great and just fattening, chopped a branch of LSD off the bottom and quick dried it in my food dehydrator at 165* for 45 mins then flip the nug and 45 more minutes, gives you a bowl ready nug that burns smooth and tastes great. For emergency use only though I'm sure it's not great for the material lol.

💜 Week 5 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno B) Same Genetics, A Different Story One of the greatest reminders that nature always has the final word is watching multiple phenotypes grow side by side. This Purple CousKush has shared every step of the journey with her sister. The same germination conditions. The same Plagron feeding schedule. The same Future of Grow lighting. The same Mammoth tent. The same 12/12 flowering schedule from seed. Yet she has decided to tell an entirely different story. While some plants rush into flower and others focus on stretch, this beautiful lady has invested her energy into building a compact, incredibly healthy structure before fully committing herself to bloom. She’s taking her time. And I’m perfectly happy to let her. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development At 66 cm tall, this phenotype has developed into a wonderfully balanced and compact plant with exceptional vigour. The first thing that catches my attention every time I walk into the tent is just how lush she looks. Her foliage is thick, rich green and incredibly healthy, giving her a full appearance despite her more restrained vertical growth. Flowering is now clearly underway. Fresh pistils are appearing at every growing tip and along the internodes, confirming that she’s fully transitioning into bloom. She simply isn’t in any hurry, and that’s perfectly fine. The spacing between nodes remains excellent, allowing light to penetrate deep into the canopy while creating dozens of promising future flowering sites. She’s building the foundations first. The flowers will follow. ⸻ 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions Like the rest of the Project Blue Tent, environmental conditions remained very stable throughout the week. * 12/12 lighting schedule from seed * Future of Grow Black Series LED providing approximately 850 PPFD * Mammoth Pro grow tent * Day temperatures around 31°C * Relative humidity averaging 72% * CO₂ levels around 639 ppm Despite the warmer summer temperatures, this phenotype has remained calm and vigorous throughout the week. Leaf posture has been excellent, colour remains beautifully uniform, and the plant continues to show absolutely no signs of stress. Healthy roots create healthy plants, and this girl certainly looks like she’s enjoying life. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program This Purple CousKush continues to be hand-watered rather than connected to the AutoPot system. Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container, she received approximately 1 litre 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 schedule continues to match her needs perfectly. The deep green foliage, steady growth and healthy new shoots all suggest she’s receiving exactly what she requires while gradually shifting her focus from vegetative growth into flowering. Sometimes consistency really is the best strategy. ⸻ 🌸 Phenotype Notes Comparing this plant with her sister perfectly illustrates why I enjoy documenting individual phenotypes instead of treating every plant as if they were identical. They come from the same seed pack. They’ve received the same care. They’ve experienced the same environment. Yet they’re expressing themselves in wonderfully different ways. This phenotype is slightly slower entering flower, but she compensates with an incredibly sturdy frame, beautiful branching and dense, vibrant foliage that gives her a very robust appearance. She’s not behind. She’s simply following her own genetic rhythm. That’s one of the reasons I love growing from seed—every plant has its own personality waiting to be discovered. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect flowering to become much more obvious as the pistils continue multiplying across every branch and the first real bud sites begin to establish themselves. With her compact structure, balanced branching and excellent health, I’m excited to see how she fills out during the coming weeks. Sometimes the slower starters end up becoming the biggest surprises at harvest. We’ll simply keep providing a stable environment, consistent nutrition and plenty of patience while she writes the next chapter herself. ⸻ 💭 Final Thoughts Every phenotype teaches something different. This Purple CousKush reminds me that speed has never been the goal. Health, balance and consistency will always matter far more than racing toward the finish line. Watching her develop has been incredibly enjoyable because she’s never tried to imitate the other plants in the room. She’s simply growing exactly the way her genetics tell her to. As growers, sometimes our best decision is simply to observe, trust the process and resist the temptation to interfere. Nature has been doing this for millions of years. She knows what she’s doing. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey and sharing it with me week after week. Your support, encouragement, advice and conversations are a huge part of what makes GrowDiaries such an incredible community. A very special thank you to the amazing companies helping bring this project to life: 💜 Zamnesia for the fantastic genetics. 💜 Plagron for the trusted nutrition. 💜 Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting. 💜 TrolMaster for helping keep every environmental parameter under control. And finally, thank you to every member of the GrowDiaries family. Whether you’re here to learn, share your own experience or simply enjoy watching these plants develop, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment and every conversation. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱💚

12/21/21 Start of week 3 all the plants have rebounded. Now labeled plants to follow each plant individually incase there's a phenotype I want to keep. Transplanted into 3 Gallon fabric pots, tent is now dedicated to those 4 Stone Cold Diesel other seedlings have been moved to there own tent.12/24/21 Cleaned floor of tent, nutrient fed plants with 250ml each of solution at 800ppm added water catchers. Also add NPK Raw Grow Microbes directly to the Coco Coir at 1/2 tsp per plant right around the stock.
