I gave the plants a good trim to try and get more light to the lower buds and replaced the water and nutrients, negating the CANNA PK13/14. Buds are starting to take shape and smell fantastic—hopefully, I can harvest them in another couple of weeks. I have learned a lot from this grow and will be applying all the knowledge gained into the next.

*Transplanted into 3 Gallon fabric pots using Happyfrog. *Tested soil PH reading of 6.1 added 1tsp of lime. *Feed Plants 1-6 with Advance Nutrients and Humic Acid PH Seemed to be 7.1 *Feed 7-11 with 20-20-20, Humic Acid, and Blueplanet CalMag. PH was 6.5 *All put under Spider Farmer SF 4000 at 26-28 inch 35%. Will lower everyday. *Lets see how many females we get.

💜 Week 6 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno A) Every Branch Finds Its Purpose One of the greatest joys of growing multiple phenotypes is watching each plant reveal its own personality over time. Some rush into flower with explosive enthusiasm, while others take their time, quietly building the structure that will support everything to come. Since germination, this Purple CousKush has chosen the second path. Growing under the same conditions as every other lady in the 8×8 Adventure, she has patiently developed an elegant framework before fully committing her energy to bloom. Now, as Week 6 unfolds, that patience is beginning to pay off. The structure she spent weeks building is finally coming to life, with every branch proudly carrying fresh clusters of white pistils. Rather than relying on a single dominant cola, she is transforming into a beautifully balanced plant where each branch has a role to play. Sometimes the best performances begin with a slow introduction. 🌱 Plant Development This week has been all about progression. Standing at approximately 76 cm, she remains one of the taller ladies in the 8×8 Adventure, displaying a graceful sativa-leaning structure with long internodes and excellent spacing between flowering sites. The stretch is still present but beginning to settle, allowing the plant to redirect more of her energy towards flower production. Bud sites are now clearly established across every branch, and each day the clusters of bright white pistils become a little larger and a little more defined. The low-stress training performed during the early weeks continues to show its value. Light penetrates deep into the canopy, airflow remains excellent, and nearly every branch has developed into a potential flowering top. It's easy to imagine how these long stems will eventually carry elegant, well-stacked colas from top to bottom. She isn't trying to be the most compact plant in the room. She's building something entirely different. 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, allowing uninterrupted development. • 12/12 light schedule from seed • Future of Grow Black Series LED delivering approximately 850 PPFD • Mammoth Pro tent with excellent airflow • Day temperature around 29°C • Night temperature around 25°C • Relative humidity averaging 60% • CO₂ approximately 639 ppm • pH 6.0 • EC 1.78 mS/cm The reduction in humidity compared to previous weeks has created an ideal environment for flowering, while the stable temperatures continue encouraging healthy growth without signs of stress. The foliage remains vibrant, the stems continue strengthening, and every indication suggests she's thoroughly enjoying the conditions provided. 💧 Feeding Program Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container and hand-watered with approximately 0.9 litres per irrigation, she continues responding beautifully to the current feeding schedule. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L The transition into full bloom nutrition has been seamless. Leaf colour remains healthy and balanced, while the developing flowers continue to expand without showing signs of deficiency or excess. Sometimes the best adjustment is simply knowing when not to change what is already working. 🌸 Phenotype Notes This Purple CousKush continues to remind me why growing from seed is always such a rewarding experience. Despite sharing identical genetics, environment, nutrition and lighting with the other plants in this project, she has developed an entirely unique character. Where some phenotypes chose density and compact growth, this lady has embraced height, openness and elegant branching. Her long internodes may appear unusual at first glance, but they're creating a structure with excellent light penetration and airflow—qualities that often become major advantages as flowering progresses. Rather than comparing her with the others, I prefer appreciating what makes her different. Every phenotype has something to teach us. 🔍 Looking Ahead With the majority of the stretch now behind her, I expect the coming weeks to focus increasingly on flower production. The framework is already in place. Now comes the exciting part. Each flowering site should gradually begin stacking along those beautifully spaced branches, slowly transforming this elegant structure into a canopy filled with long, resin-covered colas. If she continues following the path she's chosen so far, I wouldn't be surprised if she finishes with a very refined, classic sativa-style appearance despite her autoflower genetics. She's written the introduction. Now the story begins to unfold. 💭 Final Thoughts This week reminded me that successful cultivation isn't about making every plant look the same. It's about understanding that each one has its own rhythm, its own priorities and its own way of expressing the genetics hidden inside a tiny seed. This Purple CousKush has never tried to compete with the others. She simply continues becoming the best version of herself. Healthy. Elegant. Balanced. Confident. Watching that transformation unfold is one of the greatest rewards of this entire 8×8 Adventure. Sometimes the tallest stories are written one branch at a time. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Your encouragement, questions and shared experiences continue to make this project far more rewarding than if I were growing alone. A special thank you to the incredible companies helping make this grow possible: 💜 Zamnesia for the fantastic genetics. 💜 Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these ladies thriving. 💜 Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting. 💜 TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment throughout every stage of the grow. And finally, thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community. Whether you've been here since day one or have only recently joined this adventure, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment and every word of encouragement. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Update

Buenas a tod@s....🏻‍♂️ Bueno esta fue la última semana de gestación para las red cookies gelato, es verdad que crecieron mas q las otras dos variedades, se adaptaron bien y todo, aun así eh tenido algunos fallos con esta variedad, manchas en las hojas y hojas malas q tuve q quitar, eh pasado mal rato al verlas así medias pochas pero con un poco de cariño y mucha fe se van a poner muy bien y fuertes, es verdad q ahora están mejor q antes, pudo haber sido algo estrés, x el cambio de temperatura o la comida imagino, cuestión q ahora se las ve bien. 🙌🏻Tanbm controlando mucho la temperatura en esta época del año q hace más frío, lo demás van muy bien... Ahora cambio de siclo y vemos a ver q tal van... Buen fin de para tod@s y buenos humos... 💨💨😎👍🏻 🇦🇷🤝🏻🇪🇦

i feed my plants npk or micro grow bloom and cal magic on mondays and organics and fungia microorgainsims on thursdays splits up feeding sch.

Muy buena cepa de Lit farms ,una auténtica locura….

Sky steht jetzt da wie jemand, der gerade einen radikalen Frühjahrsputz hinter sich hat: weniger Arme, dafür deutlich mehr Ausstrahlung. Man sieht sofort: Hier mussten Triebe gehen. Viele sogar. Platzmangel, Luftzirkulation, Vernunft, die klassische Grower-Entscheidung zwischen Herz und Schere. Ergebnis: ein deutlich aufgeräumtes Gerüst mit Fokus auf die Top-Triebe, die jetzt alle schön im Licht stehen wie VIPs auf der Gästeliste. Und die Buds? Die haben in Woche 4 endgültig beschlossen, keine Theorie mehr zu sein. Die Colas strecken sich nach oben, dicht besetzt mit weißen Stempeln, die mittlerweile nicht mehr „Hallo“ sagen, sondern „Bleib noch ein paar Wochen“. Die Buds sind klar länger geworden, beginnen sich übereinander zu stapeln und wirken jetzt richtig säulenartig. Keine Kugeln mehr, das sind jetzt ernstzunehmende Blütenstände. Harzproduktion ist sichtbar angezogen: ein feiner, gleichmäßiger Frost legt sich über die Zuckerblätter. Noch kein Zuckerschock, aber eindeutig der Moment, in dem man nach dem Anfassen der Pflanze unauffällig an den Fingern riecht. Die unteren Bereiche sind deutlich luftiger, man merkt, dass die Energie jetzt konsequent nach oben geht. Genau so, wie man es in Woche 4 sehen will: weniger Drama unten, mehr Geschäft oben.

Two of the seedlings were showing some really marked chlorosis. A little odd, because all 4 buckets should be the same mix, but... I checked the EC of all the buckets and they were consistent. pH was a smidge high on those two, so I dropped it from about 5.8 to closer to 5.4/5.5. After a couple of days, I decided to just remix those two buckets. I didn't want to spend a lot of time trying to fiddle with a nutrient deficiency with autos. After a couple of days the meristem areas were coming in green again, so hopefully it's fixed! The other two plants looked fine. Edit: Immediately after writing this entry, I was like "Oooh, it's nute burn." so I dumped 1/2 of the reservoirs and replaced with filtered water to get the ppm down. pHed it to 5.5 again, and we'll see!

This Wedding Cheesecake is growing very strong! She has a few double stems! This makes it look like she's topped herself on a couple of her branches. She's getting watered with about 1/2 of a gallon of de-chlorinated tap water.

not much happened this week. there was a lot of sunshine. a few stormy days and some rain. she is still doing well and is growing steadily and the flowers are getting thicker. she is now also getting biobizz top-max

I was very surprised at the remarkable growth of both plants. Tree 1 gives me a clear view of the superiority of height compared to the previous week. The copper buds clearly show the enormous size, I am trying to increase the amount of nutrition to promote the maximum growth in size and taste.

The plant is thriving in its fourth week of the 12/12 light cycle. Watering with CalMag and pH Down. I also gave it one extra feeding of 5 liters with Simplex PK Boost (1 ml/L). The hydroponic plant is about twice as wide—it has completely filled the 40x40 cm grow box. The fan leaves are nearly the size of a palm, and the foliage is dense. The day before yesterday, it shed four lower fan leaves on its own. It seems 40W of light is becoming insufficient. I’ve added Hesi Boost and Hesi PK to the nutrient solution, following the chart dosages. Every day, I top up with 1 liter of water containing CalMag and pH Down. I’m thinking about setting up an automated watering pump to run once a day. I’ve noticed the pH dropping to 5.5 daily; adding 1 ml/L of SillicX and a liter of filtered water brings it back to the 6.0–6.2 range. By the next day, however, it tends to drop to 5.5 or lower. It might be time to completely replace the nutrient solution.

* Watering 2l every 3 days * Always tuck in the leaves to expose lower tops

(END OF QUARANTINE) Now I have put them to finish underground a 600w hps under 12/12 schedule with the Divine Black opium. Luckily no more mould has spread, and all plants look happy healthy and still developing. Day 72 12/09/24 Thursday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today with Plagron products. Finally a video and pictures update ✌️💚 Day 74 14/09/24 Saturday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today Day 76 16/09/24 Monday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Will update all videos and pics tonight 😁 Day 77 17/09/24 Tuesday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. Seeing good developments, buds forming nicely, divines are smaller denser structures but the buds are not lacking! Damn I'm surprised by 2L pots.

Hit her with some Shogun after a very bad start and struggling in soil i don't have any soil nutes except the biotabs and vertafort so hit her with the Coco nutes and u can see the difference she's took off and looks healthy and happy looking to get out this week as should be decent weather from here hopefully looks like she's perking up just in time gonna top her get some side branches before putting her out not much else to say thanks for reading happy growing guys... Update managed to get her out she's not happy but oh well put some biotabs crushed it the soil with some mykos cleared shurbs from around her sprayed some antipesticide and bug spray around her and sprinkled some slug powder away from but round her gonna be a mad one if she takes off can't wait to see how big she gets

The buds have built up a nice layer of resin, but I’m hoping they’ll bulk up a bit more. Toward the end of last week, I gradually trimmed off all the fully yellow leaves and some fan leaves that were shading the buds. Some of the chlorosis has gotten worse even with Cal-Mag and no light stress — not sure why, honestly. The buds haven’t swelled up as much as I was expecting; about 15 days left till harvest, so by the end of the week we’ll see if things take a turn for the better. 🤞

Fin floraison super
