This plant already gives off an intense aroma of dark grapes and blueberries. Beneath the many brown pistils lies a solid, resinous bud.

🌿 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. 🌿💚

Week 6 went by smoothly, since fall have coolder temps my setup is now at its best, the preflower streech is starting and the rootzone is getting preeeeety damn gorgeous also last week using the b1 seaweed based nutes

Strawberry AK – Current Status At this stage of the grow, the Strawberry AK is progressing as expected without any major surprises. Overall development remains stable and consistent. There are currently no significant changes or issues to report. The plant continues to mature steadily, and intervention is kept to a minimum. 🌿 Current Routine The grow is mostly on autopilot at the moment. Care is limited to watering roughly every four days while maintaining stable conditions in the tent. 🧠 Current Approach The plan from here is simple: continue observing and give the plant the time it needs to fully finish before harvest. 🌿

July 25: mostly recovered from the hail storm two weeks ago. Now one week into force flowering and she is stretching. Looks really good. July 26: watered with compost tea this morning. July 28: in garage at 7:20 pm to avoid incoming heavy thunderstorm and good chance of hail. Rainiest summer ever here. No 730 nm red light and I will bring out again at 7 am to preserve close to 12 h of darkness. July 29: added strings and weights to space out the scrog net. Added malted barley, soil, some gypsum (for Ca), and Epsom salts (for Mg) and even a bit of dolomite (for Ca and Mg without sulphate). Key ingredient is the malt which is great for flowering stage.

Día 1 y todas germinaron súper rápido 3 días Día 5 desde puesta en sustrato Ya todas están arriba Estoy solo pulverizando el sustrato Temperatura 23c humedad 75%

Good week

Es läuft alles nach Plan die Blätter sehen gesund aus kein Ungeziefer also alles guuut.

Hi Growmies, She is becoming a monster. This plant is only 18 cm tall and basically consists of stems an buds, by now she has overtaken her mother in terms of bud production, quality and bud volume. I like to believe that the one feeding of pk 13/14 stimulated it even more. As of now the feeding will get less end less, preparing her for ripening. I am a super proud of this little project and it’s outcome and looking forward to cut this beauty down in roughly 3 weeks. Not much more to do but wait.

1 week of flower yeahhh 🌲🌲🌲🌱🌱🌱 So happy finally we are gettin in to the secret Moment of thes plants Thanks all so much for the support , and if you check out mi diaries leave a comment of wut you think ✌️✌️✌️ Have a good one growmies 😎🌲❤️

Lollipopped and topped at day 15. Added 2 Durban Poison clones.

Have mutant leaves on critical 2.0 autoflower. Any ideas?

🌱Welcome to my 2 x 4 ft autoflower tent. Here we have Ganja Farmer's Strawberry Banana Purp. We just finished the 8th week of flower and it's harvest time! The terps really changed more into a strawberry Orange on this one and I am not complaining it is mouth watering and I am looking forward to the harvest report in about a month and a half from this post. 😌💨 💧She has been receiving water every other day about 1 L of pH adjusted to 6.5. ✂️ TRAINING: NONE 💡⚡Check Mars Hydro out on Instagram! @marshydro_aliexpress2 💡⚡

This beautiful girl Snow Panda from Atlas seeds has been growing amazing since the start she has been flourishing threw these 2 weeks of flower so far growing buds faster then all the other girls loving the medic grow fold 6 she's been growing under she is the 2nd biggest of the girls an can't wait to see her around harvest time

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had rain all morning and intermittently throughout the day. The high temperature was 71°. This is challenging weather for cannabis. Thankfully these are in veg, and are thriving in it. Day 2 we had lots of sunshine and high temperature around 84°. Day 3 we had partly cloudy skies and a high temp of 72°. I watered from the hose about 2 gallons per pot. Day 4 we had clear skies, lots of sunshine, and a high temperature of 89°. Day 5 Day 6 we had rain the previous night and today lots of sunshine. High temperature was 86°. The rain took care of the watering today. Day 7 we had a high temperature of 88°F. Skies were clear and sunny. I watered 2-2.5 gallons from the hose. This week was a success. The plants added almost a foot in height. They've gotten much bigger and appreciate the phosphorus that was built up in the recycled soil. I added more stakes to support the two main branches. This supports the branches and spreads them out to get the light in to lower branches. We are having warmer temperatures and these girls are loving it. I expect an explosion of growth next week.

It’ll take me 30 min to trim this whole plant just the way I like it. Most likely be the first one to come down also need to get her ready.

* Week 6 Veg/Early Flower - She has grown a little over an inch and a half since last night (11.5 inches total ) - Veg nutrients will begin to be fazed out early this week to prep for flower* * End of Week 6 Veg/Flower - 11/4 - She has begun flowering ( 14 Inches ) - Hard defoliation on bottom small budsites as well as bigger fan leaves above.
