Managed to sex out the males this week, especially since the girls were putting out some pre-flower pistils. Moved others around a little using my potato fork and now everyone is in a much better spacing. Bummer that 2 out of 3 were males, but that's ok! The ladies that are left will have more room to stretch. I gave them a little Big Bloom and some molasses.

Super easy week, just watering the ladies when they need it. Still concerned about the humidity so I’m going to start using my dehumidifier outside of the tent. I’ll monitor the humidity each day and set my humidifier on a schedule based upon the data collected. Soon I’ll be adding in another layer of netting to help support the branches and space them out more for better airflow and a more “sea of green” look. I usually vegetate for longer but I wanted to see if I could shorten my grow times and produce about the same results. Time will tell!

10/24 Week 10 Third of Flower Clones building daily stretch looks very manageable on target for 36 inches or less. Leaving nuets as is From what I am seeing I could grow 8 plants a grow using 3 gal pots. This would give a much better canopy and use of the lights 10/28 Increased PK slightly 10/29 Pics all is well new light is holding down the right side real well making another for the left, 120 watts @3000k out of her, can go as high as 160 watts if I like.

En especifico pensé que el proceso de cultivo dada su satividad seria mas complejo, pero la verdad me sorprendió dio lo sencillo que fue y lo tolerante a los cambios de clima que se presentaron. Muy recomendable y el sabor se viene pronto esa información

All going well apart from it looks like I burnt a few leaves on Tangie after giving the pk 5-8. She must be a bit sensitive. Only give half strength treats to her in the future Ppfd around 800 22.12.24 Gave all 1L each 2ml/L bio heaven 2ml/L acti Vera 2ml/L top max Recharge quarter tsp/L 27.12.24 10ml/L pk 5-8 gave all 1L apart from purple lemonade and cosmic queen 29.12.24 Purple lemonade 78cm Small jelly breath 64 Large one 89 Slurricane 93 Lemon haze 99 Tangie 73 Hubbabubba 59 Cosmic queen 56

This strain went so much better than last year. A lot more resin production which I'm putting down to my good ol' gallon of Molasses. Seriously. Worked so much better than the $40 flowering nutes that I used last year. So honestly, I spent like $250 on nutes and sprays last year, yet I only spent around $125 this year, no mineral salts, natural everything and I ended up with better bud. Didn't have to spend time flushing or worrying about burning plants and trying to remember what I fed when and which product I need to use next, etc. Keepin' it simple. I also had less mold thanks to the tomato roof and also I was more diligent about caterpillars. And of course I really like the tomato cages. I mean some of the branches do rub, and they don't look the greatest in the photos (maybe I need to paint them green for next year?) But the convenience factor is high. It work out a lot better than the staking and tying I was doing last year. I had about 25% better harvest, since last year was 2.8 oz per plant and this is 3.72 oz of dry bud. So that's a big improvement! Not to mention better quality and not just raw numbers. And last year I harvested everything, whereas this year I didn't deal with a lot of the little popcorns and gave them to the livestock. But I gotta say that the pictures don't do her justice. She absolutely glittered in the sunlight. And I don't think the other strains will get nearly as frosty. Not to mention that distinct aroma of guailol. So intoxicating! Cut down most of the colas Wednesday and finished lower colas Saturday. Washed as always with 1/4 cup each of baking soda and lemon juice in 5 gallons of warm water and rinsed in 5 gallon plain cold water. Hung up to dry in the upstairs of the barn with the oscillating fan (Do pardon the mess, my mother in-law is a hoarder and we need to downsize her clutter since she's safely thousands of miles away). Storing in mason jars in cabinet with 58% Boveda humidity packs. The 62's I used last year were a little too humid for long term storage so I'm trying the 58's this year. For some reason Growdiaries isn't letting me review this strain at the top or the Big Bloom and I'm wondering if that's because I've already reviewed both? But anyway, I've gotta say that this bud is higher quality than what I produced last year. It's stronger and you really feel like you're wrapped in a warm blanket with this strain. I also got a little bit of a headband with what I sampled, so we'll see what she's like after she cures a bit. It's a wonderful comfort at the end of a long day. About an hour of being happy and relaxed and then after that it's all you can do to keep your eyes open. I really enjoy making caramels with this strain. It's so easy to just grab one out of the freezer, and that way I sleep all night😴 1 cup Cannabutter 2 cups brown sugar 1 can sweetened condensed milk Melt butter with sugar on stovetop over low heat until combined. Add milk and gradually increase heat while stirring. You want to bring the mixture to 245F or 118C but you want to do so slowly so that your don't burn the mixture, and you want to shut it off immediately once you get there. You can pour it into molds, little paper cups or I pour it onto a parchment liked cookie sheet. Feel free to sprinkle a little finishing salt on top if you like salted caramels. Then I put them into the freezer to harden before wrapping. I wrap them on squares of parchment about 4"x4" and put them in a freezer bag. If cutting, I usually get 40 caramels that weigh 20-22 grams each. The most important thing is to be gentle and stir often. Don't scorch it! Otherwise this recipe is pretty darn easy, you just need a candy thermometer.

d58 Se han cambiado de sitio, ahora están donde será su lugar final, no su maceta final, me refiero a que ahí se quedarán todas las mañanas hasta que se cosechen, o al menos intentaré eso, ya depende de otros factores a futuro, como posibles plagas, lluvias o hongos. d59 Debido a las lluvias y el fuerte viento, Melon Gum se ha doblado el tallo y le he puesto un tutor para ayudarla a que se mantenga firme. d60 Se las ve contentas, vamos, vamos que ya viene el solecito bueno para el cuerpo. Pronto esto va a explotar en crecimiento, será un no parar.

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 10 🌿 No Demands. No Drama. Just Beautiful Flowering. Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And once again... Purple CousKush Pheno B isn't asking for much. She's not complaining. She's not creating problems. She's not demanding special treatment. She's simply growing. Flowering. Building. And looking absolutely beautiful while doing it. 😂💜 At this stage of the adventure, I think that's exactly what I want from her. We're reaching that part of the cycle where there isn't necessarily a lot left for the grower to do. We've built the plants. We've trained them. We've managed the canopies. We've provided the environment. We've given them the nutrition and the light. Now? We mostly provide whatever they ask for and stay out of the way. And Purple CousKush Pheno B isn't asking for much. She's perfectly happy continuing at her own rhythm. So... let's give this girl her spotlight. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Everybody Has Their Own Rhythm For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve different plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One general cultivation environment. One lighting philosophy. One nutrition strategy. One room. And yet... twelve different stories. That's what makes this project so interesting. Some girls have been more demanding. Some have needed more attention. Some are extremely compact. Some spread themselves out. Some move faster. Some take their time. And some, like this Purple CousKush Pheno B, basically look at me and say: "I'm fine. Just keep the drinks coming." 😂💜 Fair enough. That's exactly what we're doing. 💜 Week 10 — She's Still Doing Her Thing She's sitting around 96 cm, which puts her firmly into the more moderate-sized category of this run. She's not a giant. She's not a dwarf. She's not trying to take over the tent. But she's also not cramped into a tiny little package. Instead, she's developed a really nice spread through the available space. And that's something I'm appreciating more and more. She's not particularly compact. Her branches have room to spread. Her flowering sites occupy the space naturally. And the plant has developed a nice relationship between height and lateral structure. She's using the space she's been given. Not excessively. Not wastefully. Just... nicely. And honestly, that's a very satisfying phenotype to work with. 🌿 Beautifully Spread Through Her Space One of the things that catches my attention this week is how nicely she's occupying the space around her. She's not simply a vertical column of flowers. She's spreading outward. The branches have developed into their own little framework, with flowering sites distributed throughout the structure. That gives her a completely different appearance from some of the more compact girls in the room. And that's exactly what I love about comparing phenotypes. Her sister tells a different story. Other Purple CousKush plants tell different stories. This one? She likes a little more room. And she's using it beautifully. There's something elegant about seeing a plant naturally occupy the space available to her without becoming excessively stretched. She's simply finding her own shape. And I like her shape. 🌸 The Buds Are Getting Serious Now let's talk about the flowers. Because... damn. 😂💜 The buds are becoming seriously beautiful. They're gaining density. They're becoming more defined. They're carrying more visual weight. And the overall flowering structure is starting to look increasingly mature. This is the point where you stop looking at little flowering sites and start seeing proper buds developing throughout the plant. The structures are filling. The individual flowers are becoming more substantial. And the whole plant is increasingly dominated by those beautiful flowering formations. This is what we've been waiting for. And she's delivering. ❄️ Very, Very Frosty And then there is the frost. She's getting seriously frosty. The resin is becoming increasingly obvious across the flowers and surrounding sugar leaves. Get the camera close... and suddenly everything becomes about texture. Tiny resin-covered surfaces. Pistils. Calyxes. Sugar leaves. Layers upon layers of detail. This is exactly where my love of macro photography and growing overlap. Because you can stand back and see a beautiful plant. Then you move closer... and suddenly you're looking at an entire microscopic landscape. And Purple CousKush Pheno B is giving me plenty to explore. The name CousKush might be the first thing you read. But that frost? That's what makes you stay and look. 😂❄️💜 🌸 The Hairs Are Changing Beautifully I'm also really enjoying the way the pistils are developing. They're no longer just those fresh white hairs we see in early flower. They're beginning to show more character as the flowers progress. The colour is changing. The flowers are maturing. And that contrast between the developing pistils and the green floral structures is beautiful. It's another little sign that we're moving forward. Not finished. Not ready to write the ending. But definitely progressing. And this is the stage where every week becomes increasingly interesting. Because eventually, those little changes start adding up. 🌿 And Those Leaves... The foliage continues looking beautiful too. Nice colour. Nice structure. Nice overall appearance. And there's something particularly satisfying about seeing healthy-looking foliage surrounding flowers that are becoming this dense and frosty. The leaves are still doing their job. They're still contributing to the plant. They're still capturing light. They're still supporting the flowering process. And I'm not interested in removing healthy foliage just because we're getting deeper into flower. At this point, if the plant is comfortable and the canopy is functioning... leave her alone. 😂 She's got this. ✂️ No More Need for the Scissors We've already done the canopy work earlier in the flowering cycle. That work served its purpose. The plant has room. The structure is functional. Air can move through it. Light can reach the important areas. And now? I'm not going back in simply because I feel like I should be doing something. That's one of the biggest lessons of this stage. Sometimes the best cultivation technique is: Don't touch it. 😂 At this point, we're not trying to redesign Purple CousKush. We're watching her finish. If she doesn't ask for something... I'm not going to invent a problem. 💡 The Photons Keep Coming The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead lighting, while Lumiflora contributes additional light beneath the canopy. And this girl is clearly making use of that environment. She's built plenty of flowering structure. She's developing dense buds. She's producing visible resin. And she's filling her available space naturally. That's what I want to see. The light provides the opportunity. The environment provides the conditions. The plant's genetics decide what happens with that opportunity. And Purple CousKush Pheno B has decided to make some beautiful flowers. I'm perfectly happy with her decision. 💜🌿✨ 🔬 This Is Why Phenotypes Are So Interesting Looking at this girl beside her sister is particularly fun. Same genetic line. Same general room. Same lighting. Same environmental philosophy. Same grower. But completely different expressions. One phenotype may be more compact. Another may spread wider. One may produce a different flower structure. Another may develop different proportions. And that's the entire reason I wanted to document these plants individually. Because if I simply looked at Purple CousKush as one thing, I'd miss all of this. There isn't one Purple CousKush story. There are individual stories. And this one is telling me: "I'm going to spread out, build beautiful dense flowers, get very frosty, and otherwise leave you alone." 😂💜 I like that story. 🌸 We're Getting Into the "Watch and Wait" Stage This is where the entire room is becoming especially interesting. Most of the girls are moving quickly now. The flowering structures are established. The plants have largely finished deciding how they're going to occupy their space. And the grower starts becoming less of a sculptor... and more of a caretaker. We provide what they need. We monitor. We observe. We keep the environment stable. And we wait. Because from here, the plant has a lot of the work left to do. Density. Resin. Maturity. Final flower development. And eventually... the finish line. Purple CousKush Pheno B is heading there beautifully. 💧 Feeding & Irrigation The current recorded conditions remain: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 96 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.2 L per plant / 24h The nutrition and irrigation approach remains consistent. And honestly? She's not asking for anything different. That's important. There's no reason to change something that's working simply because we're getting closer to the finish. Consistency remains the name of the game. 🌡️ Stable Environment, Happy Plant The room continues operating under the same general environmental philosophy. Stable temperatures. Stable lighting. Stable nutrition. Stable irrigation. And a plant that appears perfectly comfortable inside those conditions. That's exactly what I want. The less drama the plant gives me... the more I can concentrate on observing what her genetics are actually doing. And this phenotype is giving us plenty to observe. 📸 This Week's Gallery The photographs this week really show the progression. The full-plant shots demonstrate how nicely she's spreading through the available space. The closer photographs reveal the flower density. And once you get close enough... the frost becomes impossible to ignore. There's something very satisfying about photographing her now. She's developed enough structure that the plant tells a story from a distance. But there are enough details in the flowers that you can keep getting closer and still find something interesting. And that's exactly what I want from these late-flowering photographs. Not just: "Here's the plant." But: "Here's what the plant has become." 💜 She's Not Asking for Much — And That's a Good Thing I think I've said this several times about this girl now. But it keeps being true. She's not demanding. She's not troublesome. She's not dramatic. She's not constantly asking for intervention. She's just growing beautifully. And at this stage? That's almost the perfect plant. Because we're reaching the point where there's not much I want to do to her anyway. I want her to finish. I want her to build. I want her to mature. I want her to show me what those flowers can become. So if she's happy... I'm happy. Simple. 😂💜 🔭 Looking Ahead — How Will She Finish? And now comes the fun part. We're getting closer. Not at the finish line yet. But close enough that the question becomes increasingly interesting: How is Purple CousKush Pheno B going to finish? Will those dense flowers continue swelling? How much more resin will appear? How will the pistils continue changing? How much more maturity will we see in the buds? And what will this beautiful, nicely spread-out plant ultimately look like when she decides she's done? I genuinely don't know. And I'm not going to pretend I do. That's the fun. We watch. We document. We provide. And we let the plant write the ending. ❤️ Final Thoughts — She's Shining Purple CousKush Pheno B is another girl in this run who is making my job wonderfully simple. She's growing. She's flowering. She's spreading nicely through her available space. She's producing dense flowers. She's getting very frosty. The pistils are developing beautiful colour. The foliage looks great. And she's not asking me for much at all. Honestly... what more could I ask for? 😂💜 She's not the smallest plant in the room. She's not the tallest. She's not particularly compact. She's not trying to be anything she's not. She's simply using the space she's been given and turning it into flowers. And I really like that. This whole 8×8 Adventure keeps reminding me that there isn't one correct way for a plant to express itself. Some plants compress. Some spread. Some stretch. Some stay short. Some build giant central flowers. Some create beautiful clusters throughout the branches. And Purple CousKush Pheno B? She's found her own way. A nice spread. Beautiful structure. Dense flowers. Heavy frost. Beautiful colour. And absolutely no drama. 💜🌿❄️ We're at that beautiful point now where I don't feel like I need to do much. I just need to provide whatever she asks for. And this girl isn't asking for much. So we'll keep doing exactly that. Keep the environment stable. Keep her supplied. Keep watching. Keep photographing. And let her finish in her own time. Because she's already given me a beautiful plant. Now I want to see what she does with the time that's left. And I have to admit... I'm very curious. Let's see how this beautiful Purple CousKush finishes. She's earned the spotlight. She's earned the attention. And she's certainly earned another week of simply being allowed to shine. 💜✨🌿 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful Purple CousKush genetics and for giving us another fascinating phenotype to follow. Thank you to Plagron for the nutrition supporting these girls throughout the flowering journey. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the Black Series lighting driving the garden. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing additional light beneath the canopy and adding another dimension to this experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. We're getting deeper into the journey now. The plants are becoming themselves. The differences between phenotypes are becoming clearer. And the amount of work required from the grower is slowly changing. We're no longer building. We're no longer shaping. We're mostly watching. Providing. Maintaining. And waiting. And Purple CousKush Pheno B? She's making that part very easy. She's not asking for much. She's not causing trouble. She's just growing beautiful, dense, frosty flowers in her own beautiful way. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep learning. And most importantly... let's see how this girl finishes. 💜❄️🌸 Until next week... Beautiful structure. Dense flowers. Heavy frost. No demands. Let's let her shine. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💜
