Soooo... Nachdem die bernsteinfarbene Kristalle zum Drittel verbreitet sind dachte ich mir gestern schon machst du sie platt! Schließlich fangen sie auch schon das welken an! Will was ausprobieren! Deswegen hab ich sie bei Tag geerntet! Hat seinen Grund!# ich sag bescheid ob ich Recht hatte!! Oder es liegt an der Erde was ich denke!!! Mal sehen!!! 660 Gramm brachte sie auf die Waage!! Es kamen trocken 83 Gramm raus also wΓ€re das 1/8 des gesamtgewichts! Hab natΓΌrlich wieder die Maschine anschmeißen mΓΌssen weil ich den gesetzlichen Mindestwert ΓΌberschritten hatte und somit die Alien und die Haze gewaschen!! Klappt immer besser! Man lernt dazu!!! Hab jetzt Nuggets!!! πŸ˜… Aber ich muss sagen, der in Maastricht hat mir damals wirklich mexican Haze verkauft!! Aber seine war geschmacklich viel besser!! Paar BlΓΌten hab ich aufgehoben!! Die Rauch ich ganz alleine!! Dieser typische Geschmack..... Lecker!!! Hab ich trotzdem gut hin bekommen!! Aber so alt ist sie ja noch nicht und bekanntlich beim fementieren entwickelt sich der Geschmack noch besser!!! Also ich kann nicht klagen! Ich bin zufrieden!!!

Some pistols are now turning orange, pinks/purples visible in some buds. 3 different looking phenos out of the 5 plug seedbank seeds - The one in the 1 gal fabric pot is starting to show a lot of fall colourings with red being the primary tone. - 2 are showing with very white pistels and whiter trichomes - some purples coming through on the new bud growth - 2 have yellower pistels and a greener overall look (Maybe showing more of the Zkittlez pheno) The bag seed (Knightsbridge Og X ?) looks way more mature into flower yet the buds are considerably smaller than the Dosidos Zkittlez plants. I've had one final defoliation to improve light to lower bud sites.

Einen wunderschΓΆnen guten Tag, liebe Grow-Community, und herzlich willkommen zur 24. Woche meines kleinen Outdoorprojekts! Diese Woche war wirklich wieder alles gegeben: Freude, Sturm, ein ungewollter Pre-Harvest plus das versprochene Terp-Update und ich habe mir sagen lassen, dass wir heute zwei Gastauftritte im Programm haben, aber dazu spΓ€ter mehr. Bleibt also am besten dran. Fangen wir mit den erfreulichen Dingen an, und das sind in diesem Report einfach die Damen! Ich war ja zwischendurch echt zwiegespalten, ob dieses doch etwas gewartete Projekt FrΓΌchte tragen wird oder in einer Hermie-Schimmel-HΓΆlle mit Popcorn-Nugs endet. Umso begeisterter bin ich, dass mir zweiteres doch (stand jetzt) erspart geblieben ist. Und was soll ich sagen, liebe Growcommunity: In meinem bescheidenen Heim duftet es nach Cali, und wie … Grund dafΓΌr sind: Filmore Slim (Purple City Genetics): (Mac 121 Γ— Purple Punch) Γ— Blueprint. Aussehen: Sie zeigt eindeutig ihre Mac-Genetik. Golfballgroße und steinharte BlΓΌten, welche durch ihren dichten Harzbesatz doch sehr an ihre Elterngenetik erinnern. Dies in Kombination mit dem schΓΆnen stacking sowie den nun immer mehr purzelnden BlΓ€ttern lΓ€sst einem wirklich das Wasser im Mund zusammenlaufen. Terps: Bisschen Cookies, gefolgt von floralen Noten, die ins zitronig-beerige gehen. Bitter Orange (Symbiotic Genetics): Mimosa V6 Γ— Wedding Cake. Aussehen: SchΓΆn enges Staking, der Wuchs erinnert sehr an die Wedding Cake. Sie hatte ihre Startschwierigkeiten, aber beim Anblick der mit Harz ΓΌberzogenen BlΓΌten mit leichtem Purple (Tendenz steigend) lΓ€sst sich das vergessen. Terps: Eine selbstbewusste Mischung aus orangenen Nim2 und Mintz, welche lange am Finger anhaftet. Das in Kombination mit einem Harzbesatz, welcher sich nicht verstecken braucht, macht sie zu einem Washer-Kandidaten. Lemon Tree 2.0 (Silent Seeds): X-Dark Lime #20 Γ— Original Lemon Tree. Aussehen: Und auch hier ist das hΓ€ssliche Entlein doch noch zum Hingucker geworden. Ein tiefgrΓΌnes BlΓ€tterdach, welches von gleichmÀßig bestΓΌckten lilafarbenen Bussen durchbrochen wird. Terps: Was mit einer floralen Leichtigkeit beginnt, entwickelt sich immer mehr zu einer Mischung aus Zitrone, gefolgt von einem leichten Pinien-Abgang. Sehr interessant! Hella Jelly (Humboldt Seed Company): Notorious THC Γ— Very Cherry. Aussehen: Buds the size of your forearm (shout-out an Urban Remo). Aber es stimmt, she’s stacking! SchΓΆn gleichmÀßiger Wuchs, wenn auch etwas hΓΆherer BlΓ€tteranteil als ihre Mitstreiterinnen, dafΓΌr gepudert mit Trichomen. Terps: Denkt an eine Packung mit Erdbeersüßigkeiten (fast schon ein wenig kΓΌnstlich). Dazu gesellen sich Zitronenaromen mit leichter Candynote. Auch sie ist ein heißer AnwΓ€rter auf einen Washing-Platz. Kid Pambele (Black Tuna): K.O. Γ— Sherbert Shocker. Aussehen: Was soll ich euch sagen, was ihr nicht schon mit euren eigenen Augen gesehen habt? Sie ist eine SchΓΆnheit! Tief-lilane-BlΓ€tter zieren sperfΓΆrmige, wunderschΓΆne und zu guter Letzt von Harz nur so triefende BlΓΌten. Wahrer Augenschmaus! Terps: frisch floral (wie ein schΓΆnes SommerparfΓΌm), geruchstechnisch wie Zitrus, OrangenblΓΌten und eine an Vetiver erinnernde Zitrusnote und irgendwo bilde ich mir noch etwas Muskat ein. Wirklich spannend! Limonada de Mango F2 (Black Tuna): Mango Lemonade #26 Γ— Mango Lemonade #51 Aussehen: Macht durch ihre Haze-Genetik den wildesten Eindruck (sΓ€ulenfΓΆrmige BlΓΌten mit fein-fingrigen BlΓ€ttern, welche sich im Herbst in ein dunkles Lila verwandeln). Dicke HarzkΓΆpfe, welche mich von Hash trΓ€umen lassen. Terps: Auch hier kann sie ihren Amnesie-Background nicht verstecken. Limoni-frisch mit leichtem Anis-Abgang. Dazu gesellen sich tropische Aromen. Grappelz (Black Tuna): Apple Shocker #97 (Apple Fritter Γ— Shocker) Γ— Tropicanna Punch #61. Aussehen: Γ„hnelt auch sehr der Hella Jelly (eher ein lateraler Wuchs), hier aber mit leichten Purplenoten in den oberen BlΓ€ttern. Terps: Hier kann es sein, dass ich mich vom Namen hab beeinflussen lassen, aber ich bilde mir Noten von grΓΌner Apfelschale ein, was mit einer leichten Candy-Begleitung fast schon an die grΓΌnen Apfelringe erinnert. Ich hoffe, ihr konntet mit meiner Beschreibung etwas anfangen und habt nun Ein ungefΓ€hres Bild, wie es in meiner Nachbarschaft riecht. Aber kein Licht ohne Schatten. Der Samstag hat leider ein weiteres Opfer gekostet … Was vom Wetter her eine ruhige Woche sein sollte, endete am Samstag leider mit einem unwetterartigen Sturm. Und hier eine Lektion, die mich schon mein ganzes Growerleben begleitet: Sei nicht faul! Noch besser: Schiebe nichts auf! Storytime: Als ich morgens auf den Balkon kam, war mir klar: Ich muss die Kleinen vor dem Wind schΓΌtzen. Aber erstmal ein KΓ€ffchen, dachte ich. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt sahen alle Pflanzen soweit gesund aus. Nachdem ich besagten Kaffee getrunken hatte und noch etwas verpennt durch das Handy gescrollt hatte, kam ich zurΓΌck und musste sehen, dass es mittlerweile einen Trieb der Lemontre erwischt hatte. Was aufgrund dessen, dass ich dies wahrscheinlich hΓ€tte verhindern kΓΆnnen, doch nochmal besonders Γ€rgerlich erscheint. Aber gut … Ich habe den Trieb abgeschnitten und unter dem Mikroskop begutachtet. Ein Großteil der Trichome war milchig und eigentlich keins bernsteinfarben. Mit anderen Worten: Das zu rauchen wird wie ein Espresso zu viel. Aber wir werden sehen. ZusΓ€tzlich habe ich einen kleinen Windfang errichtet, um Schlimmeres zu vermeiden. Ich bin nun dazu ΓΌbergegangen, statt dem normal verwendeten Teichwasser nun Leitungswasser zum Gießen zu verwenden. Einfach fΓΌr das bisschen extra Calcium (aschebedingt). Die Milch hat einen Γ€hnlichen Effekt, fungiert aber auch als Fungizid. Bevor der hier nie Spaß jetzt viel zu lang wird, noch eine kleine Aussicht auf nΓ€chste Woche: Ich plane, den Kleinen noch etwas Gutes zu tun, habe in dem Sinne noch ein letztes Mal eine frische Jauche angesetzt, welche ich mit einer SSt (Sproud-seed-tea) ergΓ€nzen werde. Hierzu keimen bereits grΓΌne Linsen. Was das genau ist, wo die Vorteile sind und wie man das Ganze herstellt, erfahrt ihr dann in der nΓ€chsten Woche. Das war’s wieder fΓΌr diese Woche. Ich hoffe, es war diesmal nicht zu langwierig. Euch noch einen angenehmen Restsonntag und einen guten Start in die Woche. Peace.

πŸ’œ Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 14 πŸ‘‘β„οΈ The Queen Has Come Down – One Massive Cola, Countless Beautiful Details πŸ’œπŸŒΈπŸ“Έ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8Γ—8 Adventure! πŸŒ±πŸ’š Well, my friends… Our Queen has come down. πŸ‘‘πŸ’œ But not before we gave her one last opportunity to shine in front of the camera! πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ And honestly? I'm super happy with this girl. She's beautiful. She's impressive. She's covered in details that make you want to grab the camera and get closer. And that massive cola? Oh, my goodness. πŸ’œπŸ”₯ That's one of those structures that makes you stop for a moment, look at the plant, and appreciate what you've been watching develop throughout the entire journey. But before we get carried away with the photographs, let's explain where we are, why this update is still being published as a flowering-week report, and what happens next. Because, as with the other girls we've recently harvested, this is not the end of her story. It's simply the end of her time standing in the tent. The next chapter will cover the harvest and trimming process, with more details about the final result. For now, let's celebrate Purple CousKush Pheno A. Our Queen. Our massive cola. Our beautiful flowers. And a photography session that gave us plenty to appreciate. πŸ’œπŸ‘‘β„οΈβœ¨ ──────────────────────── πŸ“’ WHY ARE WE REPORTING THE HARVEST IN A FLOWERING-WEEK UPDATE? Let's explain this again for everyone following the individual diaries. Yes, this is a flowering-week report, even though Purple CousKush Pheno A has now been harvested. And no, we haven't forgotten how the diary works! πŸ˜‚πŸ’š GrowDiaries has limitations on the number of photographs we can include in an individual update. When we reach a stage like this, there is simply too much we want to document to squeeze everything comfortably into one report. We have the final photographs in the tent. We have the studio session. We have the macro photographs. We have the stacking process and the behind-the-scenes work. And then, of course, we have the harvest itself, trimming, and everything that follows. Trying to put every part into one update would mean leaving out details that deserve their own space. So we're following the same approach we've used for the other plants reaching harvest. This flowering-week report documents her final appearance, the photography, and the transition out of the tent. The harvest and trimming report will follow separately. That way, we can give each stage the attention it deserves without sacrificing the photographs or the story. And because these are individual phenotype diaries, each plant gets her own report. Even when several girls come down around the same time, their stories remain separate. That's the plan, my friends. One plant. One diary. One story at a time. πŸ’šπŸŒ± ──────────────────────── 🌱 A QUICK RECAP – THE 12/12-FROM-SEED JOURNEY Before we say goodbye to her flowering chapter, let's remember what this entire adventure has been about. The 8Γ—8 Adventure has been running on a 12/12 light schedule from seed. We didn't give the plants a separate, extended vegetative period before changing the schedule. Instead, we followed their development under the same overall light cycle and documented how the different cultivars and phenotypes expressed themselves. And that's what makes this project so interesting. We've had plants with different heights, structures, growth patterns, flowering characteristics, and individual personalities. Some became tall. Some remained compact. Some developed more open structures. Others produced dense, impressive flower formations. And Purple CousKush Pheno A? She's given us plenty of reasons to smile. πŸ’œπŸŒΈ The same room provided the stage. The same general environmental strategy supported the plants. And the genetics gave us different expressions to observe. We haven't tried to force every plant into the same shape or pretend they all developed identically. We've simply grown them, documented them, and watched their individual journeys unfold. And now, after all those weeks, our Queen has reached harvest. I'm genuinely happy with what we've seen from her. This is exactly why we keep these individual diaries. Because the journey matters just as much as the final photograph. ──────────────────────── πŸ‘‘ OUR QUEEN HAS LEFT THE TENT There are plants you enjoy growing. There are plants you enjoy photographing. And then there are plants that make you appreciate the entire journey when you finally stand back and look at them. Purple CousKush Pheno A has given me that feeling. πŸ’œπŸ‘‘ I'm super happy with her. And I want to make that clear. This isn't just about one massive cola or a handful of beautiful macro photographs. It's about seeing the result of weeks of development and having the opportunity to document it properly. She has her own character. Her own flower structure. Her own visual expression. And now, we have the photographs to preserve that final moment before the next stage begins. We took her out for a studio session, and of course, I couldn't resist taking a whole bunch of shots. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ You know me by now. Give me a beautiful plant, a camera, and a little time in the studio… and suddenly, everything else can wait. But honestly, I think she deserves it. She's our Queen. Let's treat her like one. ──────────────────────── πŸ”₯ THAT MASSIVE COLA! Let's talk about the obvious. That cola. πŸ’œπŸ”₯πŸ‘‘ Because some structures deserve their own moment in the report, and this is definitely one of them. When you look at a plant throughout its development, you become familiar with its overall shape. You see the branches. You see the flowers. You watch the individual structures develop. But when you finally get to look at the plant in the studio, with the opportunity to photograph it properly, certain details suddenly stand out. And that massive cola is one of them. It's the kind of structure that makes you want to move around it, look at it from different angles, and see how much detail the camera can capture. From a wider view, you appreciate the overall form. Move closer, and the individual flowers begin to reveal themselves. Move closer again, and suddenly you're looking at an entirely different world. πŸ˜‚πŸ’œπŸ”¬ That's one of the things I love about documenting plants this way. The whole plant tells one story. The individual cola tells another. And the macro photographs reveal yet another layer. One plant. Different perspectives. Plenty to appreciate. ──────────────────────── πŸ“Έ STUDIO TIME – ONE LAST CHANCE TO SHINE Before moving into the next stage, we took Purple CousKush Pheno A into the studio and captured a collection of photographs. And I'm glad we did. πŸ’œπŸ“Έ The studio gives us a different opportunity to appreciate the plant. In the tent, we're looking at her as part of the complete environment. We're looking at the canopy, the neighbouring plants, and the overall structure. In the studio, we can focus entirely on her. No distractions. No other plants competing for attention. Just Purple CousKush Pheno A and the camera. πŸ‘‘πŸ’œ And when you have a beautiful plant in front of you, that's a very enjoyable place to be. I wanted to preserve her appearance at this stage of the journey. The overall structure. The massive cola. The individual flowers. The frost. The details that can easily be missed when you're simply walking past the plant every day. Because once she's harvested, we can't recreate this exact moment. The plant has moved on. The flowering chapter is complete. So these photographs become part of her record. And honestly, I think they make a beautiful way to close this stage of the diary. ──────────────────────── πŸ”¬ MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY – WHEN THE FLOWERS BECOME A WORLD OF THEIR OWN If you've followed the previous Purple CousKush updates, you'll know that I love getting close to these flowers. πŸ˜‚πŸ’œπŸ”¬ And this week is no different. The macro world has a way of changing your perspective. You start with the whole plant. Then you look at an individual cola. Then you choose one flower. And before you know it, you're exploring tiny details that are almost impossible to appreciate from a normal viewing distance. The texture. The layers. The trichomes. The pistils. The little variations in the surface of each flower. Every photograph gives you another way to appreciate the same plant. And that's what makes macro photography so enjoyable for me. It's not simply about making something look bigger. It's about looking more closely. It's about noticing. It's about taking the time to explore details that might otherwise pass unnoticed. And Purple CousKush Pheno A gives us a beautiful subject for that. πŸ’œβ„οΈπŸ“Έ ──────────────────────── BEHIND THE SCENES – HOW DO WE MAKE A FOCUS STACK? This week, I also want to show you a little of what happens behind the photographs. Because when you see a macro image with so much detail in focus, you might wonder how it was created. And that's where focus stacking comes in. πŸ”¬πŸ“Έ When photographing a tiny subject at high magnification, the depth of field can be extremely shallow. In simple terms, only a small part of the subject may appear sharply focused in a single photograph. You can focus on one section of a flower, but other sections in front of or behind that focus plane may appear blurred. And that's completely normal. The closer you get, the more noticeable this limitation becomes. So, for certain photographs, we can use a technique called **focus stacking**. Instead of relying on a single photograph, we capture a series of images with the focus shifted slightly between frames. Each image records a different part of the subject in sharp focus. Then, using software, we align the photographs and combine the sharp areas into one composite image. The goal is to produce a photograph with more apparent depth of focus than a single frame could provide under the same conditions. That's the basic idea. One photograph captures one slice of the subject. A stack combines the useful focused details from several slices. And when it works well, the result can reveal an incredible amount of detail. πŸ’œπŸ”¬βœ¨ ──────────────────────── πŸ–₯️ FROM CAMERA TO COMPUTER – THE STACKING WORKFLOW The photographs you see aren't always the end of the process. Sometimes, they're the beginning. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ The general workflow looks something like this: πŸ“· **1. Capture the sequence** We take a series of photographs of the same subject, shifting the focus gradually between frames. πŸ” **2. Review the images** We check the sequence and make sure we have the frames needed to cover the different areas we want in focus. πŸ’» **3. Align the photographs** The images may need alignment before they're combined, especially if there are tiny changes in framing between shots. **4. Stack the images** The software analyses the photographs and combines the areas it identifies as being in focus. πŸ–₯️ **5. Inspect the result** We review the composite for artefacts, soft areas, halos, or details that haven't blended cleanly. ✨ **6. Finish the image** If necessary, we make final adjustments to the composite so the photograph represents the subject clearly and naturally. And that's how we go from a series of individual frames to one detailed macro image. Of course, not every stack comes out perfectly. Sometimes movement causes problems. Sometimes the software struggles with certain textures. Sometimes the final image needs a little more work. And sometimes, everything comes together beautifully. That's part of the process. It's photography, not magic. Although, when you see a really good result… it can feel a little like magic. πŸ˜‚πŸ’œπŸ”¬ ──────────────────────── πŸŽ₯ THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES WORK MATTERS TOO I enjoy sharing the finished photographs, but I also like showing some of the work that goes into creating them. Because a beautiful image can involve more than simply pressing the shutter. There's the subject. There's the camera. There's the lighting. There's the focus sequence. And then there's the time spent reviewing, aligning, stacking, and checking the final result. πŸ“ΈπŸ’» When everything comes together, the photograph can reveal details that a single frame might not capture clearly. But I also think it's important to be transparent about the process. A focus stack is a composite made from multiple photographs. It's a photographic technique designed to extend apparent depth of focus. It's not one single exposure, and it's not a substitute for the original photographs. For me, the original images and the final stack both have their place. One documents the individual frames. The other lets us appreciate the subject in a different way. And when the subject is a flower as beautiful as this one… I'm happy to spend the time exploring it. πŸ’œπŸ”¬βœ¨ ──────────────────────── ❄️ DENSE FLOWERS, FROST, AND BEAUTIFUL DETAILS Let's not let the photography discussion distract us from the plant herself. Because the reason we're doing all of this is simple. Purple CousKush Pheno A is beautiful. πŸ’œπŸŒΈβ„οΈ The flower structure is what catches the eye first. Then the density. Then the details that start appearing as we move closer with the camera. And the macro photographs give us another way to appreciate all those little features. The individual flowers. The trichomes. The pistils. The textures. The tiny differences from one area to another. When you're looking at a plant every day, it's easy to become familiar with it. You know what you're seeing. But photography encourages you to stop and examine it again. And sometimes, you discover something that makes you appreciate the plant all over again. That's what I enjoy about this girl. She's already beautiful as a whole plant. But when we start looking at her details… there's even more to appreciate. πŸ’œπŸ‘‘ ──────────────────────── 🌿 THE 8Γ—8 ADVENTURE – SAME ROOM, DIFFERENT GENETIC EXPRESSIONS And once again, let's return to the reason this project exists. The 8Γ—8 Adventure brings different plants and phenotypes together in one shared environment. They have the same general room conditions, the same overall lighting ecosystem, and the same grower observing their progress. But they don't all develop in the same way. Different sizes. Different structures. Different flowering patterns. Different individual characteristics. And that's what makes comparing them so interesting. Purple CousKush Pheno A has developed her own identity throughout the journey. Now that she's harvested, we can preserve the final photographs and look back at the complete record of her development. The aim isn't to claim that one plant proves everything about a cultivar. It's to document what happened in this particular run and build a useful record for future comparisons. That's why the individual diaries matter. They let us follow one plant from the beginning to the end without losing her identity among the other girls. And our Queen has certainly earned her place in that record. πŸ’œπŸŒ± ──────────────────────── πŸ’‘ SAME PHOTONS, DIFFERENT EXPRESSIONS The lighting environment has remained part of the upgraded Future of Grow Black Series setup used throughout the room. The additional Black Series 600W fixtures gave us more lighting capability and flexibility, while allowing us to control the output according to the setup rather than simply running everything at maximum power. LumiFlora also contributes to the lighting ecosystem deeper in the canopy. And throughout this project, one of the most interesting things has been seeing how different plants express themselves under the same general conditions. The environment is shared. The photons are part of the same lighting system. But the plants still develop their own structures and individual characteristics. That's the beauty of the experiment. We provide the stage. The genetics give us the performance. And Purple CousKush Pheno A has given us a beautiful final act in the tent. πŸ’œβ˜€οΈπŸŒΏ A massive thank you to Future of Grow for helping us expand the lighting setup and explore what this system can offer. ──────────────────────── πŸ˜‚ THE GROWER IS HAPPY – AND THE CAMERA IS BUSY Honestly, my friends, I'm really happy with this girl. And sometimes that's the whole story. πŸ˜‚πŸ’œ You don't always need a dramatic problem to solve. You don't always need a major change to report. Sometimes you reach the end of a flowering journey, look at the plant you've grown, and feel genuinely satisfied with what you're seeing. That's where I am with Purple CousKush Pheno A. I'm happy with her. I enjoyed documenting her. I enjoyed taking her into the studio. I enjoyed exploring the macro photographs. And I enjoyed having the opportunity to preserve these final images before moving on to the next stage. Now the camera work can take a little break. Well… until the next girl catches my attention. πŸ˜‚πŸ“Έ ──────────────────────── πŸ“‹ WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? Her time in the tent is over, but there's still more to document. 🌸 **This report:** Her final flowering chapter, studio photographs, and focus-stacking behind the scenes. βœ‚οΈ **The next report:** The harvest and trimming chapter, including the details we can properly document at that stage. πŸ“Έ **The photographic record:** We'll keep the photographs connected to her individual diary so the journey remains easy to follow. πŸ’š **The bigger picture:** We'll continue building the 8Γ—8 Adventure record, one phenotype at a time. I'm not going to squeeze the entire harvest report into this update. It deserves its own space. For now, I want to celebrate the plant we have in front of us in these final photographs. And when the next chapter is ready, we'll continue the story. ──────────────────────── πŸ‘‘ FINAL THOUGHTS – THE QUEEN HAS EARNED HER CROWN Week 14. Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia. Pheno A. Our Queen. πŸ’œπŸ‘‘ She's come down, but before moving on, we gave her the studio time she deserved. We captured the overall plant. We admired that massive cola. We explored the flowers up close. And we spent time with the macro photographs and the focus-stacking process. I'm genuinely happy with this girl. She's been a beautiful part of the 8Γ—8 Adventure, and I'm glad we've been able to document her journey individually. This report isn't the final word on her harvest. That chapter comes next. For now, this is a celebration of her final days in the tent and the photographs that preserve this moment. The 12/12-from-seed experiment continues to teach us about the differences between plants sharing the same environment. And Purple CousKush Pheno A has given us another beautiful story to add to the collection. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's appreciate the massive cola. Let's appreciate the flowers. Let's appreciate the macro details. And let's appreciate the photography that lets us look at her from a completely different perspective. πŸ’œβ„οΈπŸ“Έ Thank you, Queen. You've given us plenty to admire. And I'm looking forward to documenting the next chapter. ──────────────────────── πŸ™ THANK YOU A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document the individual journeys of the 8Γ—8 Adventure and share them with growers around the world. πŸ’šπŸŒ± Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple CousKush genetics and for giving us this beautiful girl to follow from seed to harvest. πŸ’œπŸŒΈ Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. 🌱 A massive thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and for supplying the additional fixtures that expanded our lighting capabilities. πŸ’‘β˜€οΈ Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping us monitor and manage the environment behind the scenes. And thank you to everyone following the 8Γ—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation.

6/1 I'm anxious to get my plants in their final homes. Another 90 degree day today and then it will be cooling off with some showers. I plan to take advantage and utilize that to make the transition. I have some small burns on a couple plants bit considering the weather we've had its nothing. Temperature swings 50 degrees. I hope these girls do OK outside. I was tired and stoned last night and I accidently topped a plant I had already FIMed. Oh well. Transplants soon. Supports screwed in after the heat. Plants have been handling this weather like a champ. Big thick healthy stalks. UPDATE PUT THE PLANTS IN AROUND 730. Cutting down on light hours I'm poverty close to where we are. It was 95 today. Plants have suprisingly little burning. My fan was taken so they go without that tonight too. In the next few days it's going to cool down and that's when I'll transplant. Only thing left before transplant is sanitizing trellis and supports. Easy peezy. Especially if it's supposed to be in the 50s. And people dent climate change lol. I'm hoping that all this adversity makes my flower a higher quality. I'm glad to have the quantity to pick the best phenos for the BIG POTS. Im trying to stay excited but it's just so dumb hot. Oh well. If the plants can do it so can I. I'm planning to give them some kelp me kelp you next watering and may start some light organic nutes. 6/2 Phone doesn't like uploading my videos. Broke record high temp yesterday 95 and tomorrow we will break the record low 50. Plants withstood the heat well and are doing great. Transplant soon. They were a little light but I held off on the water. Plan on it tomorrow. May transplant tomorrow. I have several videos that haven't uploaded. I thought they did but I was wrong. Oh well. UPDATE: Forgot to water. Some were light and others could've held off. Did the half a powerade bottle ahain. A litt ke less on the heavier ones. However I'm looking to transplant into final homes tonight and into this weekend. I sanitized a fifty and a forty so my bags and two pots are sanitized. Cage is sanitized and ready and pallets are sanktized and in place. The 40 and 60 fit PERFECT in the small space left from the pallets. Plus the plants always lean the opposite direction so things should go smooth. Only thingvleft is sanitizing stakes, bamboo, plastic garden stakes and all the other plastic training stuff. I'll just soak it while I transplant. Gotta mix the soil first too though. UPDATE. Heat went higher than expected and hit 90. I figured I'd go back around three and screw in suppirt stakes and begin getting everything ready for transplant (i.e. supports, mix soil, sanitize trellis) before I transplanted tomorrow MORNING was what I had planned. Unfortunately we got a huge thunderstorm with a shot ton of rain and it's gonna continue throughout the night. I think this is God's way of telling me to take a break. I can get up early and get those support stakes screwed in. Then when I get back from the wife's doctor's I can do the transplants. I'm trying to break the labor up into manageable chunks. Looking at my other diaries I can see that my plantscare fine in their three gallon homes. It'd a little disheartening seeing such big clones that I started so much earlier on the other diaries. However I always was fighting SOMETHING (usually more than one thing) and last year was a shit show. At least this year I stay away from anyone else's cannabis any clones and I'm extremely cautious. I've seen my cousin out perform me multiple times with healthy plants like this I'm excited to see how it goes. I really needed the break anyway but tomorrow morning the stakes will be in. Hopefully they'll be outside. 6/3 Broke the record for low days after breaking record for highs. I saw it 94 yesterday and the day before. On the way to my grow at 6am it was 44 degrees and it's not warming up much. Fifties at best. Rainy. I left the door closed. The big door on the otherside got opened as the other end of the garage neededcto he used. If the rain let's up I'm going to set up the grade stakes so I can transplant in the morning and throughout the day. I think I'm going to light dep a couple of them and leave them in the 3's. We'll see. UPDATE: At 12:30 the temp today was 44. Yesterday it was 94. I can't believe this. Plants are doing great though and are in the garage under lights for the day. The BIG door was open part of the day. Didn't take any pictures (or even enter the grow area) as I sanitized the last 40 gallon pot and a bunch of grade stakes. I drilled the grade stakes to the pallets in the front. The first row is done. Just need to sanitize the plastic trellis itself and finish attaching the other grade stakes. I don't need the fill trellis up by transplant. I just need the bags to not knock over and have SOME support. I'll be back over there either to tonight to put more supports in or tomorrow when I actually plan to start transplanting. I'm getting excited. After dealing witb the stiff that I sanitized I didn't dare go fuck with my plants so I looked through the window. I'll finish sanitizing the net tomorrow. These plants look great. I'm wondering if doing the two diagonal I poles with zipties actually works. It would save me some kone for sure. I'll definitely update in the morning. 6/4 It's warmed up to a balmy 44 degrees. My plantsxare in the garage still. Weather sucks this whole week but after this heavy rain it should be perfect weather to transplant these girls. A little to chilly but it will warm up and I need to get this shit done. I'm trying to do to much at once. I need to just out dirt in bags and get them outside. I'm glad I waited until after this craziness. Breaking temp records for high one day then breaking it for low the next can't be good for the plants. I'll update what gets done today. I may mix soil or I might wait until tomorrow. It will let up some then. Plants still look fabulous πŸ‘Œ 6/5 50 degrees still raining like hell. Rain until Friday. Plants are inside under the onecworking light. Lots of indirect light through the massive windows though. I'm planning on mixing soil today and tomorrow and getting bags and pots half filled. Just trying to break the labor up into manageable pieces. It's probably a good thing I didn't put them in their huge containers before all this rain. UPDATE: MIXED SOIL 1/3 of each (FOX FARM OCEAN FOREST, HAPPY FROG, AND ROOTS ORGANIC 707). I prepared I believe 11 containers for transplant. I need to sanitize two more containers and I'm good. I got a lot done. Might go back over. Set up extra cams too. I'm excited. Talked to my commercial buddy amd he motivated me. No reason my plants can't handle this shit. I've just had massive personal shit going on. Friday is the next GOOD day but these girls might go out earlier. I'm checking the forecast. I'll sanitize the other containers in the morning and fill them. 6/5 Today is usually my watering day but shit still seems heavy so I'm going to hold off. Despite that i need to transplant. I think they're wet enough. I could do it today. Plants are looking good and weather takes a better turn Friday. It's not raining hard though. It's just sprinkle right now. I may transplant some today depending on how things go. I'll keep the diary updated. UPDATE: I went back over with the intent to just mix soil and let it acclimate. I decided to try to transplant one. I grabbed a 10th planet and started to go. I had done a bunch of manual labor already so i wasn't thinking. Of course the fucker was dry and didn't wanna come out ofcthe pot and the root ball pretty much decintigrated in my hand so I'm not sure how that will go. Tried again with the Blueberry Cheese Cake. I thought the roots just might not have been rootbound abdcthat could've been the case. After having another rough transplant I recognized I was tired, all the hard stuff is done and it's gonna keep raining until Friday. I wanted to transplant three and put them outside but with the wind and rain and the difficult transplant I let them sit under the light in the garage in indirect light. I had the doors open for a while. Should be open now but i don't want to have to go back over and shut it. Plus I'm not to keen on getting water on my light. Let's hope for a better day tomorrow. This was the only thing I had going good. Phrple punches are still behind. I've decided I'm oing to light dep ttwo of the plants in the 3 gallon pots. The two shittiest or smallest plants (probably purple punch will be light deped. WENT BACK OVER AT FIVE AND IT APPEARS EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT. WILL HAVE CHECK IN MORNING. Vid won't upload. Tried multiple times. I'll try again tomm. 6/6 Waiting for a doctor's appointment when I should be transplanting buy whatever. Everything is looking really good. Despite me disint9grating the rootball in my hands the two transplants look great! When I get back I'm planning to get some more work done. It's still lightly raining off and on but the door is up. I'm lettingvthe soil mix acclimate a little bit too. Hard labor is mostly done. Now the intricate part. Wish me luck. Not sure if it will be today bit I'm hoping. WENT BACK OVER CAUSE IT WASNT RAINING BUT AS SOON AS I WAS CLOSE IT STARTED POURING SO THE PLANTS ARE UNDER THE ONE WORKING 150HPS AND THE AMBIENT LIGHTING FROM THE WINDOWS. TOMORROW IS TRANSPLANT DAY. I WONT HAVE A VEHICKE SO IT WILL BE TRICKY BUT IM GONNA MAKE IT HAPPEN. Opened doors at 530. Video still didn't upload 6/7 Still raining. It's off and on and a nice rain though. It's 53 degrees at noon. I transplanted two 10th planet's into 20 gallon pots. I transplanted these two a little differently. I put the bags in there final spot I side my cage andctransplanted in the misting rain. The first one came out and seemed to be heavier on the bottom and broke off. I tend to "throw" them in the hole before they collapse. With my anxiety I suck at transplanting. Plus these plants haven't filled the 3 gallon pots with roots yet but i want hem in their final homes and its time to go outside. I transplanted the other two plants indoors and let them have days in the garage with the door open and the light on then protection from the elements at night. I've been doing this for awhile. They would all be outside if the weather wasn't so shitty. This rain is supposed to stop. I'm curious as to what will be the fate of the two plantsci transplanted and left outside. I'm praying and hoping for the best. I also put my back tarp up so I have a wind break between rhe buildings. I stopped working because I didn't want to fuck anything up. Anxiety disorders suck. TOOK A BUNCH OF VIDS BUT THEY WONT UPLOAD. GOES FROM 9% TO 65% BUT ALWA7S TURNS RED "FILE FAILED TO LOAD". I'LL KEEP THE DIARY UPDATED. ESPECIALLY IF I GO BACK OVER. WAS ABLE TO LOAD A COUPLE VIDEOS. I GUESS ITS NOT AS BAD AS I THOUGHT. AT LEAST I HOPE. WENT BACK OVER AT 3 AND CHECKED THINGS OUT. THE TWO REXENT TRANSPLANTS I LEFT OUTSIDE SEEMED TO BE IMPROVING. DESPITE THE FACT I DUMPED A SHIT TON OF SOIL ALL OVER ONE OF THEM. IT SNAPPED A LITTLE BRANCH CLOSEST TO THE SURFACE. ITS STUFF I'LL REMOVE ANYWAY BUT STILL. IM REALLY CROSSING MY FINGWRS AND PRAYING THESE GIROS WILL MAKE IT. With everything i have going on tjis is my respite.IM GOING TO TRY TO SEE WHAT I CAN ACCOmplish TOMORROW. SOME OF THE PURPLE PUNCHES ARENT READY FOR TRANSPLANTING THOUGH. I ALSO ADDED TEO TARPS TO THE CAGECTO COVER THE WIND TOWER BETWEEN THE TWO BUILDINGS. THIS IS GOING TO BE A GOOD YEAR! Shut the door at seven. For some reason the two 10th planet's I transplanted (that fell all over the plant and I thought mightve broke it) look awesome lol. Despite the ridiculous pouring rain. It's going to let up soon and we are do fir some good weather. I'm trying to get everything (that isn't getting light depoed) into the cage. Four transplanted. Ten (I mean 8 more) to go.

Week 18 (Week 10 Flower) Grow Diaries Report – Part One: Wrapping Up the Journey 🌱 Pre-Harvest Reflections This week has been a mix of emotions as we approach the final chapter of this grow. Let’s talk about why we made the decision to pre-harvest portions of the Gorilla Melon and Papaya Zoap. While both plants have been incredible performers, a few buds on each started showing early signs of bud rot. This is an unfortunate but natural challenge when growing such dense and resin-packed colas. The decision to harvest those sections early was made to protect the rest of the crop and ensure quality and integrity for the remaining flowers. Vigilance is key in a packed garden like ours, and careful monitoring ensured the rest of the room remained safe and thriving. 🌈 A Symphony of Colors and Frost The grow room is a visual masterpiece this week, with shades of deep purples, vibrant greens, and golden hues taking over. The fading is absolutely breathtaking, showcasing the natural progression of the plants as they near the end. Combine this with the insane level of frost blanketing the buds, and it’s safe to say this is one of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever cultivated. ✨ Spectrum Management: The Secret to Stunning Results The current lighting setup is a game-changer: β€’ 50% whites to maintain overall balance and structure. β€’ 100% reds for enhanced ripening and color development. β€’ 100% UVs to boost resin production and amplify those trichome levels. The ThinkGrow LEDs paired with the TrolMaster spectrum control system have truly unlocked the garden’s full potential. Watching the plants sparkle under this setup feels like seeing stars on a clear nightβ€”magical and unforgettable. 🌟 Quick Recap: The Journey So Far From seed to this incredible moment, this grow has been a testament to precision and passion. From germination to veg and through flowering, every detail was carefully tuned, every decision made with intention. Along the way, we navigated challenges like pests, mold, and environmental shifts, proving that adaptability and dedication are essential. And here we are, ready to bring this journey to a close with nothing short of perfection. Week 18 (Week 10 Flower) Grow Diaries Report – Part Two: The Tools That Made It Possible πŸ’‘ ThinkGrow LEDs: These lights have been the heartbeat of the grow, delivering unparalleled spectrum control and efficiency. The ability to fine-tune every stage of the plant’s life cycle has been a game-changer. 🌬️ AeroFan System: Consistently circulating air while keeping the environment balanced and mold-free. The AeroFan’s role in preventing hotspots and ensuring even coverage cannot be overstated. πŸ“± TrolMaster System: The brain behind the operation, the TrolMaster system has provided unmatched control and precision. From monitoring temperature and humidity to dialing in lighting and CO2, it has truly transformed how I grow. πŸ•οΈ Tent-X Setup: The foundation of the grow, this tent provided the perfect space for controlled cultivation. Its design maximized efficiency while keeping everything neat and manageable. 🌑️ Sensors and Monitors: Every parameter was tracked with pinpoint accuracy. From VPD to soil moisture, the sensors ensured every need of the plants was met in real-time. Each tool, piece of gear, and setup component has worked seamlessly together, creating a true ecosystem of excellence. This grow wouldn’t have been the same without them. Ending with Gratitude and Excitement To the community: thank you for joining me on this incredible journey. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just tuned in, your support has been everything. From the lovers to the critics, you all push me to grow (pun intended).

Getoppt um Platz zu schaffen, da mein Wachstumszelt nur 40x40 cm hat. Jetzt kann Sie schon einmal neue Triebe ausbilden.
