During week 3 all plants are growing well inside the Growfor.Life-Closet and have a healthy green color. The latest addition: Double Dutch plant #3 (from Serious Seeds) is behind the rest, but also doing well. On Day 18 the biggest three plants, Double Dutch plant #1 and #2 and OG-Kush have gotten so big that a first round of defoliation was necessary. I do this in order to avoid big leaves touching each other and causing dampness to condensate between the leaves, which in turn can attract fungus and mold. Therefore i take off all the big fan leaves starting from the bottom of the plant and only leave the top two fan leaves on the plant. Now the air can flow freely through the canopy again and no leaves are touching and no dampness can condensate. The plants are still getting no extra nutrients, since the PLAGRON Grow-Mix I use should still have plenty in it. I only use RHIZOTONIC from CANNA one time in order to enhance the root-production. Now at this stage you already can clearly see differences between Double Dutch (from Serious Seeds) and OG-Kush (from Humboldt Seeds). The leaf shape is different (smaller and more pronounced fingers on the leaves of OG-Kush) and also the growth pattern (more like Indica in Double Dutch). On Day 19 I decide to do some LST (=low stress training) in order to train the 3 biggest plants into a bushier form. This is necessary, because the Growfor.Life-Closet is limited in height and I want the plants to fill out the whole area well with budding sites. I use stiff insulated copper-wire (standard electrical wire, pieces of appr. 30 cm length) and bend small arches, which I then carefully place over the top-part of a side-branch and push the open ends of the wire downwards into the soil so it holds the branch in place, while its bent outwards away from the main stem. This way I 'fan-out' the lowest 4 side-branches, so they are growing upwards at places where the light can reach them better. (see in detail in video) All plants respond well to the LST and turn their leaves and tips of the side-branches towards the light again until the next day. At day 19 the plants are now almost 20 cm tall, therefore I also decide to switch to 12/12 hours of light/darkness now in order to induce flowering. I change the program of the Growfor.Life-Closet from the standard-grow-mode (=18 hours of light per day) to the custom-flowering-program (12/12 hours of light, where I can choose the time when the lamps turn on). Now the plants will grow slower until they start to flower. I LOVE THE Growfor.Life-Closet, its sooooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL and soooooooooooooooo SILENT, a landmark technical development in my opinion! This is growing made stealthy and effortless, GROWING OF THE 21st CENTURY!

# Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A 🌱💜 ## Germination Week | The Beginning of a New Story Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome to another new journey. As some of you may have noticed, I've recently adjusted the way I document my grows. With the current photo limitations on GrowDiaries, each phenotype now receives its own dedicated diary rather than sharing a single journal with its sisters. This allows me to continue documenting every stage of development while selecting the best photographs from each week and keeping everything organized from seed to harvest. The goal remains exactly the same as always: To create an honest, educational, and complete record while sharing observations, successes, lessons learned, and everything in between. Today, we begin following Purple CousKush Auto Pheno A. Another seed. Another journey. Another opportunity to learn. --- ## Continuing the Autoflower Adventure The autoflower section of this project continues growing one cultivar at a time. One of the things I enjoy most about running multiple genetics simultaneously is watching how every plant begins from the same simple starting point while carrying its own unique potential. A seed. A little water. A little patience. And months of possibilities hidden inside. For this run, we're following Purple CousKush Auto from Zamnesia Seeds, cultivated under a 12/12 from seed schedule from the very first day of life. A method that is a little different from what most growers choose, but one that has become part of my own cultivation style over time. Throughout this diary, I'll explain not only what I'm doing, but also why I'm doing it, allowing anyone interested to follow the process from beginning to end. --- ## Germination Using the Cannakan System To begin this run, I used the Cannakan germination system. For organizational purposes, the autoflower section was germinated using my second Cannakan unit, while the photoperiod section used the first. The methodology itself remained exactly the same. Simple. Organized. Reliable. The seed was placed inside using only plain water. No nutrients. No additives. No stimulants. Just water. Within approximately 24 hours a healthy taproot had emerged and the seed was ready for planting. Exactly what we hope to see from healthy, vigorous genetics. --- ## Why Only Water? One question that often appears during germination is: "Why not feed the seed immediately?" The answer remains simple. The seed already contains everything required for its first stage of life. Inside that shell are the energy reserves needed to establish roots and begin development. At this stage, I prefer allowing the seed to use those reserves naturally. The objective is not to feed the plant. The objective is simply to wake it up. Water is enough. Nature has already prepared the rest. --- ## Coco Starter Plugs Like many of the other plants in this project, this seed began life inside a coco starter plug. The plug was fully hydrated and then gently squeezed to remove excess moisture while maintaining a healthy balance between water retention and oxygen availability. Once germinated, the seed was carefully inserted into the plug and placed inside a humidity dome. The dome remained useful for only a short period. Within less than 24 hours the seedling had already emerged and was ready for the next step. At that point, she was transplanted directly into a small container filled with Plagron Lightmix. --- ## Environmental Conditions Environmental conditions remained intentionally simple and stable. Temperatures stayed around 26–27°C. Humidity was maintained between approximately 65–70% using a Spider Farmer humidifier. Rather than keeping seedlings inside extremely humid conditions for extended periods, I prefer introducing them relatively early to the environment they will actually experience throughout their life cycle. The objective is adaptation. Not dependence. Airflow remained extremely gentle. Just enough movement to keep fresh air circulating without creating unnecessary stress. --- ## Lighting Lighting during germination remained intentionally soft. Young seedlings simply do not require intense light levels at this stage. The goal is healthy establishment rather than rapid growth. Once properly established, this girl will move under the Future Of Grow Black Series 600W full-spectrum LED system where the next stage of development begins. For now, healthy roots and healthy growth remain the priorities. --- ## First Observations Everything has progressed exactly as hoped so far. Fast germination. Healthy taproot. Strong emergence. Healthy color. Good vigor. And perhaps most importantly: A healthy beginning. At this stage every seedling remains an unwritten story. A tiny plant carrying months of possibilities inside it. And that mystery remains one of the most rewarding parts of cultivation. --- ## Looking Ahead Over the coming weeks we'll follow Purple CousKush Auto Pheno A through every stage of development. We'll document: - Root establishment - Early growth - Environmental management - Watering practices - Structural development - Flowering progression - And whatever unique characteristics this phenotype chooses to reveal Because every seed deserves the opportunity to tell its story. Huge thanks to Zamnesia Seeds for the genetics, Plagron for the substrate and nutrition, Future Of Grow for the lighting, and everyone following along for another seed-to-harvest adventure. Grower's Love everyone. 🌱💚

The ladies are doing great and growing well. I'm really happy with the progress so far. They have now reached 60 cm. I plan to install the Scrog net within the next few days to allow them to grow wider.

Hey everyone! Welcome to our second grow journal! We're growing the same strains as in the first journal, but this time, we plan to only top the plants. They're in 18-liter pots, and you'll be able to follow their progress here as well. These plants are 20 days younger than the ones in the first grow, so it'll be interesting to compare their development. Stay tuned for updates!

Day 69: As you can see, lucky the buds gone bigger but because of these intense feeding to fix the grow, they start to get nutrient burns. So for the new week i might only give water until the end with maybe some Regulator, enzymen, humic-blast... They also don't drink fast anymore. Another indicator that they having a hard time taking all the nutrients and that they are at their end of their stage. Some smaller plants, that finished growing and flowering faster, are already done and will get cut down in the comming days. These plants are some Gorilla's and some are cherry cola's. As you see, some have been foxtailing because i had to raise the lamps everytime. I personally don't like fox tail buds but i know some people that love them, pure flower to smoke. I really liked to make those photos in the dark, It shows many flowers and thc.

_____📅 Week 15 | 📅 Day 99 - 106 | 🌸 8th week of flowering 🌸 ______ Day 99 🌞💧 - There's nothing exciting to tell this week, I'd rather let the pictures speak for themselves. - I took a quick look at the trichomes...the quantity looks okay...lots of glassy ones still there...see you next week - Last time with nuts Day 102 🌞 - today i got an email from Zamnesia...i think this strain was a good choice....i like weekends with a good Haze🍋💪🐇 and a nice pod of coffee 🚬☀️☕️ Autumn is coming.....🍂🍁💐 ------------------------------------------------------- Temp. avg. - 21,4° (day+night) Hum. avg. - 52,9 %

Heute startet die Woche 7, hohe Luftfeuchtigkeit und hohe Temperaturen. Ist immerhin 10 cm gewachsen und supergesund. Hier und da mal paar Blätter und Mini Blüten entfernt und ein wenig Super Cropping.. Pre Flowering hat ein wenig eingesetzt. Die Madame Sour Jealousy von FastBuds soll nur wachsen nicht das blühen anfangen!

Pultroppo non c'è molto sole ma fa molto freddo ...questo giro poca resa ma tanta resina

85 days and absolutely killin it! These blackberry kush autos are absolurely dank! They smell so strong of citrus and diesel!! I cannot wait to try this smoke! I'd say they have another 30 to 35 days to harvest!

ANNNNNND WE HAVE FLOWERS! Day 12 since flipping and they are coming along very nice. Pistols started appearing 4 days ago and they are taking off. Went in yesterday and did a lot of defoliating. Soil started turning white on top and I wasn't getting much airflow through the canopy but she breathing now! Starting to see some yellowing so she will be getting a NICE feeding of advanced nutrients today! Let me know what yall think of if you have any tips.

Broke a Top while trying to LST woke up and it was snapped. All three plants are showing different types of growth Plant 1 is Showing Sative Traits PLant 2 is showing Indica.Satava Traits Plant 3 is Short and stubby showing is hard Indica traits

These plants have been thriving this week. Roots are exploding and already filling up the bin sooner than expected. Plants have been “praying” daily. Will likely be moving these into their forever homes (current culture buckets) before end of next week or at least split into 2 bins to give some space before topping. Have just been mooting levels and water temps throughout the week. Didn’t have to add or adjust anything as of yet. ph - 6.0 PPM - 375 EC - 750 Water Temp - 68*F Air Temp - 74 (Lights On) 68 Lights Off Humidity - 60% on average Notice a slight cal/mag deficiency (rust coloring on a few on the leaves) so added another 15mL to the bin just to be safe. I’ll also be painting the lid white and insulating the bin to try and keep the water temps around 68, the ice bottles are annoying to continuously change out.

Today is the harvest day , you can see the trichomes are ~50% amber and cloudy it's enough for this 😁

Now this side of the tent seems to be doing great. At first I thought it was the air circulation with the other side so I’m still digging into that. Either way this is about these two ladies and I see the forming of pistils and can’t wait to see what kind of stretch they get into in the upcoming weeks. As for the coco vs. the rockwool way I’ve done it in the past I’m leaning towards the rockwool way. It’s easier and thus far the plants I get from it are larger. It consumes about the same amount of water although less nutrients.

From this point on, the plants of my two active diaries will be together in the grow with a 12x12 photo period. So I'll put the same photos in both diaries.

🌸 Flowering Week 4 – Blütenaufbau & erste Harzbildung Jetzt begann der eigentliche Blütenaufbau. Die Buds wurden dichter, die Kelche fingen an zu stacken. Erste Harzansätze waren sichtbar, besonders an den Zuckerblättern. Der Geruch entwickelte sich bereits leicht – erste Anklänge von Zitrus und Cheese. Die Pflanze wirkte stabil und vital. Ende der 4. Woche das letzte Große entlauben. Mein Weihnachtsgeschenk, der spiderfarmer bodensensor, ist auch direkt zum Einsatz gekommen.
