End of week four and plants still look great to my eye. Stretch is finished and now the plant is really going to focus on flower development so the next few weeks should show a lot of growth of the flowers. The smell is starting to really become noticeable. It’s hard for me to pinpoint but it almost smells like sprite but extra lemon limey. I’m thinking around 5-6 more weeks until she’s ready to chop. We shall see.

4/18 - 4/20: She's coming along nicely! 4/22: I FIM'd her today and gave her about 20oz of water with cal-mag, humic acid, and boomerang and foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. Later, I rinsed off all the plants with a stiff stream of filtered water in preparation for tomorrow. 4/23: Today was BoomBoom Spray day! I just love how visible the growth is the day after a BoomBoom Spray day!😲 Tomorrow I'll spray her down with Axiom Harpin a|b proteins..she'll start flowering soon and I want her hitting her stretch with mega-vigor.👈 4/24: I did a foliar application of Harpin proteins and fed her with about 1/4-gallon. 😊 I removed all the cool white and blue light, and turned on the 3rd set of QB's and bud boosters so she will get her stretch on- I also reduced her photoperiod to 20 hours so she can start getting some beauty sleep. I also tied down her apex cola today. 4/25: Didn't have much time today, but I looked in on her. It's getting crowded in here, so I'll remove all the photos (clones and seedlings) tomorrow. That's it for week 3-

2/2 We are about half way on the 2 biggest, 3 weeks on the SG, and about 6 weeks on the Blue cheese. Damn... You can see how much I lose on the bottom half, but like I said before. It will still be more than I can smoke. And I want to make sure it all gets enough light to ripen and allow plenty of airflow. The only issues in really having is the godberry seems to be premature yellowing, but I still think it's from the light stress early on. She also looks a bit like nute burn. Yeh .. that's probably the fish emulsion I gave it 2 weeks ago when I misread the light stress. Sometimes it's best to stop and think before you do something stupid. I always have at least one plant that goes yellow too soon. Living soil. But I don't think the soil is lacking. I've never dealt with light stress before so it's kinda fucking with my head. But it's all at the top, as you go deeper they get greener. The deep purple stems across 2 different strains was from the light too. I've seen that before but it's been a long time. 2/3 My Blue Cheese is about week 6ish. I lose track temporarily because of how that plant came about. It was started 1 week after the others had already been in the ground. And then she started to flower after only 2 weeks. She popped up on 12/6, the others popped up on 11/30. I can tell by the way she feels she ain't even close. Flowers are nice but there is no density. Theeaves are so frosty they remind me of sage a bit. I did a bit of work on her. Mostly just tied the tops together so she wasn't so sprawled out commandeering an entire 1/4 of the tent. The 2 biggest are really becoming pretty and the ChocoLope is acting like she wants to start showing some color! Trying to keep it cool at night but below 70 and I start having trouble keeping gt VPD up. Strawberry gorilla is plumping up slowly. She didnt start till about 3 weeks ago. So as soon as I move out the Blue Cheese, I'll see if I can give her a bit more light. May have to harvest the BCA in 2 goes. Should have left her tied down, or I should have super cropped that long ass cola bud. If I'm being honest, I just didn't want to hinge that beautiful top. Well .. next time. I plan on growing this beautiful strain a few more times. 2/4 Its always something.. it's a good thing I love growing because if I didn't, this would be a lot of work. So there is some kind of issue with my SIP. The bottom 3" of the pots are getting soggy and the plants are barely drinking for days. The pots are heavy AF so something is a miss. I pulled out the wicks to allow them to dry back a bit. Then I'm going to try to connect them again. So this is where I have to back track and think about what has been different lately... Normally I use frozen water bottles to keep the water under 70° as much as possible. I let it sit at 75 for 2 days and that's when I noticed they stopped drinking and the connection is all sloppy. Could that be it? I recently broke down the reservoir and refilled it... Could that be it? I also moved the wicks out to the widest holes so they touch more of the pot than they did before... That might be it... I am a bit ashamed to admit it but I actually consulted AI about this. It says it could be any of those things, and I need to totally drain the res after the dry back. Something about the air gap is saturated. Well..... I'm gonna dry em back, and treat it like a fresh install. I'll stay on the old holes where I was before. And I'll keep the rezzy cool. 2/5 Ok.. so 24 hours was good for all except the blue cheese. She was still a bit too heavy to reconnect. I'm keeping the wicks out for 48 and the reassess. I tried to keep it exactly how I had it in the beginning. The BCA is close... Closer than I realized. Two, maybe 3 more weeks and she gets the chop.. but this time I'm going to practice a bit more patience. I remember the last time I grew it I told my roommate that it would connect all the way up the cola. It never actually did. It tis time.. you have to look for stem. This plant is literally ALL BUD! I love this strain.. 2/7 Strawberry gorilla at about 3 weeks flower. Startig to fill out. New pics. Blue cheese is almost done. Calyxes getting plump!! Choco lope pheno #1 is starting to take on rally dark sugar leaves. And the God Berry is a bit too. All but the blue cheese are still connected and SIP is not hooked to reservoir. I'm forcing a small reset on the SIP. Hoping to reconnect them all soon. More to come...

They completed third week of flowering. They still stretched 10-15 cm this week even though I dialed in level 9 on my light. Dripz and Grape Soda x Star Killer simply enjoys high intensity and can easily handle 900-1000 uMol range which I am experiencing first time. Humidity is still fluctuating between 52-55%. Temp is decrease to 24 Celsius in average which dropped the VPD to ~1.30 which is not ideal. I might consider moving dehumidifier into the grow tent and remove humidifier for the rainy next week. They received a big Lollipoping and Defoliation last night Day 21 but I may have to redefoliate Blueberry Muffin as it is still very bushy.

I have had a blast growing this plant inside this LEAF unit. There was very little I had to do in order to have so much plant. I cannot wait to add another diary with some more grows. The smell of the plant is incredible and will only get better. The smoke is gentle, and it actually leaves a Minty feeling in your mouth, this was surprising but really cool given the name of the plant. I will start my next grow in November, be on the lookout for that journal. Final Dry bud weight 443g!

Decided to give this one another go. Changes in setup: fresh compost, ph balanced with balanced water before I even placed the seed. Propagation dome to keep the humidity up. So today I did a thing Juan will no longer be an outdoor plant as such i have made a hidden garden check out the video Planning on topping at node 5, then LST up until last 2 weeks of flower with minimum defoliation as we go We have life new pictures from days 3/4 Now lives in the grow room

These girls are in full flower in week 5. They stayed the typical size of an auto. The two were seperated in anticipation but clearly it may have been unnecessary

Day 29, giving structure to ghe little baby, trying to multiply branches and giving some attention to the topped one. Day 30 fertisilisation today. Next time just water. LST is still in the middle Day 32 31/10 dinner at 100% now and pushing hard with grow, just watering without fertilisation this time and lamp higher for 2 cm. Stretching a little bit before passi into flow, next 7/8 days of veg Let’s see what’s happen

Let say I don’t even know where to begin or how to say this but it more of a challenge w/ the fans leave. I’m like dang but of course got to keep the girls manicure and clean for they can strive to their full potential. I may have or may have not stress the girls out by cutting too many fans leaf off. Regardless I hope they don’t hermies on me . If did no sweat 😅 still will run this back . I only see em at the bottom bottom. For sure have to trims on the regulars… or every time open grow tent. According to Premium Cultivars.. the problem to look out for is trimming & pruning . Humidity Sensitive and mold/mildew. Sorry for late post or update. Outside of that working new 9/5 and doing my best to stay on top LPC. Will see harvest… stay tune!

🌿 Week 4 – Purple CousKush Auto #12 | Plant B The Quiet Strategist Begins Her Move | 8×8 Adventure Every plant has its own story, even when they share the same tent, the same light, the same feeding schedule, and the same care. That’s one of the reasons I decided to document each phenotype individually throughout this 8×8 Adventure. Every seed carries its own personality, its own pace, and its own way of expressing the genetics hidden inside. Today the spotlight belongs to Purple CousKush Auto #12 – Plant B. While a couple of her sisters are already sprinting into flower much earlier than expected, this lady is taking a slightly more measured approach. She’s clearly entering pre-flower, showing her first pistils and announcing that the transition has begun, but she’s doing it on her own schedule. There’s no rush here… just steady, confident progress. And honestly… I like that. Sometimes the plants that don’t demand attention early become some of the most rewarding later on. ⸻ 🌱 Life inside the 8×8 Adventure The room continues running under the 12/12 From Seed experiment, a method that constantly surprises me with how differently each cultivar reacts. Even under identical environmental conditions, every plant interprets that limited photoperiod in its own way. Some immediately focus on reproduction while others continue building structure before committing fully to flowering. Purple CousKush B seems to belong to the second group. She continues investing energy into producing new growth while gently stacking pre-flowers across the upper nodes. Watching these differences unfold is exactly why I enjoy documenting every individual plant instead of only reporting on the room as a whole. ⸻ 🌿 Training without forcing nature This week has mostly been about leaf tucking and a little gentle Low Stress Training. Rather than removing healthy fan leaves, I’ve simply been moving them out of the way to expose lower growth sites to the LED. It’s amazing how much additional light reaches the interior of the plant with just a few careful adjustments. LST continues following the same philosophy. No aggressive bends. No unnecessary stress. Just guiding branches into better positions so the canopy can develop naturally while allowing more future flowering sites to receive direct light. With autoflowers, timing is everything. Every day counts, so I prefer making small corrections instead of major interventions. Purple CousKush B has responded beautifully, opening her structure while continuing to push healthy new shoots from every direction. ⸻ ☀️ Summer is definitely here… The biggest challenge this week hasn’t been nutrition. It hasn’t been watering. It hasn’t been training. It’s simply been the weather. Outside temperatures continue climbing, making it surprisingly difficult to keep the grow room perfectly stable—even with the air conditioning working around the clock. Despite seeing daytime temperatures touching 33°C, humidity has remained reasonably controlled, helping prevent excessive stress while maintaining healthy transpiration. Considering the conditions, I’m genuinely happy with how all the ladies are responding. Strong stems. Healthy green foliage. Excellent turgor. No signs of heat damage beyond the normal environmental challenge that summer inevitably brings. Sometimes growing isn’t about chasing perfect numbers… It’s about adapting and helping the plants stay comfortable despite Mother Nature trying to make things interesting. ⸻ 💧 Week 4 Feeding The feeding schedule remains simple and consistent: • 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 plants continue responding extremely well, with lush green foliage and vigorous new growth showing that the nutrition remains well balanced. ⸻ 🌸 Looking ahead With pre-flower now clearly underway, I’m expecting Purple CousKush B to begin stretching over the next week. Unlike some of her faster sisters, she’s building a slightly more open architecture before committing fully to flowering, which could translate into excellent light penetration later in bloom. Every day brings another surprise inside this tent, and that’s exactly what makes this project so enjoyable. One room. One environment. One feeding program. Yet every phenotype writes its own story. I can’t wait to see what chapter Purple CousKush B has planned next. ⸻ As always, a massive thank you to everyone following this adventure, leaving comments, sharing knowledge, and supporting these journals week after week. Your encouragement genuinely makes documenting every phenotype worthwhile. A huge thank you as well to Plagron for the outstanding nutrition, Zamnesia for the incredible genetics, and everyone helping make this 8×8 Adventure possible. Growers Love and see you all next week for another chapter. 🌱💚

These ladies are looking damn fine and of the two they are what seems identical - 👍 Sweet Seeds for gen stability. Both were topped 7 days ago and the inside lower nodes all removed. I’m only looking for A,B grade colas on both. Stay safe, keep the ✌️

Week 9 showed clear progression into the final ripening stage. Bud size didn’t change much visually, but trichome development advanced noticeably. 🌸 Most trichomes turned milky, giving the plants a slightly white, frosty appearance. Light intensity remained stable at ~1100 PPFD. Environment stayed consistent at ~26°C and ~50–52% RH. Both plants were watered every 2–3 days with RO water + CalMag, based on pot weight. 💧 During this week, Apricot #2 developed rust-colored / yellow spots on smaller leaves near the buds, which led to a precautionary flush. Both plants were flushed once thoroughly with water + CalMag at around pH 6.5 to reset the medium. After flushing, the issue did not worsen. Phenotype observations: Apricot #1 continues to look healthy and stable, with a compact structure and consistent bud development. Apricot #2 shows the earlier leaf spotting but remains stable overall. Buds continue to swell and maintain good density. Aroma intensified further this week. The Apricots are now producing a strong sweet, fruity, tropical smell, becoming very noticeable in the tent. 🙂 The Amnesia Skittlez in the same environment appears slightly behind in development, with smaller buds and less pronounced trichome production at this stage.😊

So, eventful week. Prior to putting my seeds into my system, my light and rdwc system was left on as I was dialling in the growing environment before placing the seeds as a final home. My only issue was I had a light leak BEFORE putting the foil top covers on the clay pebbles. Long story short, I got algae which ended up turning to root rot. I spotted it very swiftly and did a res change adding beneficial bacteria to the system along with the base products of remo nutrients. A few days later new growth and recovery is taking place. Day 16- Fully back on track, new roots shooting out into the water and the growth rate has picked up as it should. Foliar feeding twice a day for a little boost until the root system establishes a bit more. Huge changes in just a day. Can't wait to see what a week's growth looks like. Really loving the sunset/sunrise feature on the trolmaster, something I got to experience watching recently! Watching by closely to make sure everything stays in track. Stay tuned for the next one 😉
