🌿 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. 🌱💚

Tag 88: Die Fat Banana hat ihren stretch beendet. Mit der Lampe ist es ziemlich knapp geworden.

Week number seven for my little monster 💚 This week I set up the Scrog net to make it as wide as possible. This beauty needs space! 🌳 Three good liters of nutrient-rich water for her this week. So far, I’m really happy with the results 💥 As always, stay tuned! ♣️

Not really a whole lot to report. Girls are starting to get thick and they are stinky. Started the Cha Ching just before these pictures so we will see what happens this week. Cheers 🍻 and happy growing.

Caminhando para os dias desta jornada, agora levanso somente com água.. Tive algumas dificuldades com a HR no grow devido a alta umidade em minha região que chega a 100%.. Vários dias a HR ficou entre 80 a 90% e infelizmrnte o aparelho desumidificador foi insuficiente para manter o nível ideal para o cultivo, devido a esse fator tive problemas com mofo nos em alguns poucos buds, por sorte não se espalhou para todos os buds e todas as plantas, foram apenas algumas flores que apresentaram os sintomas e logo cortei por prevenção...

Van muy bien, engordando esas colitas, huele bien, un poco raro, los últimos días de esta semana pude reacomodar la planta para que reciba más luz, porque coseché la og kush y ya tengo mas espacio, también cambie los leds, tenia los viparspectra desde el inicio, esta semana le puse los phlizon y la verdad si vi mucha mejoría! 🤩

Día 101 (09/09) Riego con 500 / 1000 ml H2O pH 6,5 Parece que se ha parado un poco el amarilleamiento que subía tan rápidamente por las plantas! Día 102 (10/09) Riego con 500 / 1000 ml H2O pH 6,5 Excepto LemonPaya, todas las plantas empiezan a llenarse de tricomas! 😍 Día 103 (11/09) Riego con 500 / 1000 ml H2O pH 6,5 Estoy emparanoiado con que la floración va lenta... Día 104 (12/09) Los cogollos no se están formado correctamente... Algo pasa... Los pistilos tienen un extraño color verde y no engordan... OnionOG #1 es la única que tiene un ritmo normal... Riego con 250 / 500 ml porque las temperaturas empiezan a bajar a 25 ºC diurnos / 22 ºC nocturnos y está bajando el consumo de agua... Día 105 (13/09) La deficiencia empeora... Solo se salvan OnionOG #1 y KS1 #2... Día 106 (14/09) La deficiencia sigue empeorando... Solo se salvan OnionOG #1 y KS1 #2... Día 107 (15/09) La floración se ha ido al traste! (Excepto OnionOG #1 y KS1 #2) Tras preguntar a Lurpe, GD e IG concluyo que el super soil tiene un bloqueo de nutrientes Debido al bloqueo, se ha detenido la floración en 4 de las 6 plantas Siguiendo las recomendaciones de Lurpe, hago flush hasta que el agua de escorrentía tiene una EC 2,5 (1250 PPMs) A ver si les da tiempo a recuperarse... 💦Nutrients by Lurpe Solutions - www.lurpenaturalsolutions.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

Coming along nicely seems to take longer to bloom than most Autos maybe 11-13 weeks but looks like it will be worth it. Buds are gong to be many not sure how big they will be but looking like they will be huge.

1st photo We did the scrog, it helped us a little more to use as support to tie the branches with threads and manipulate them as we wanted, so we tamed it. but they kept growing as my colleague affirms

Our number #17 grows really well, the leaves have only a few flaws and are tapered a little curled perhaps but I think that's the effect of the beginning, the stem is straight and does not bend and is very well proportioned. I am giving Plagron Pwer Roots rooting soon starting with Alga Grow. The plant grows well, the leaves are regular and very turned towards the light, it is very proportionate even I don't see stretching, bending and things that don't convince me. The girls have already been poured into 11 liter jars because the biodegradable jars have started to decompose prematurely, no problem let's go to the ground.

Put a selection of my own seeds s1's apart from red/purps red Russina Cross straight into soil and mist sprayed them with ph 6.5 water it took them 3-4 days to pop up but all popped up with 12 hrs of each other 🍾.

week three flower everything looks fine so far :D eight days after defoliation I water them with 1.5l every 48h the light I use was set to 80% and it hangs 80cm away from the tops gelato 1 threw some balls, but I removed them as soon as I saw them, I'll keep watching it!

Blueberry Muffin Week2 F14. After switching to 12/12 , they are still stretching and have already 2x in size. The plants smell strong already. Feeding 3x a week. 2x with grow,bloom,topmax and 1x with calmag and Alg a mic.

Hi guys. We started flowering with the first week! I am very excited! Plants seem to me to be healthy and grow. With Advanced Nutrient fertilizers it is very important to regulate and control the electrical conductivity of the solution. Next week I will give you more information. I put a net in order to divide the light and give a support in flowering. We'll see!

Great genetics with the best nutrients always produces awesome results Every harvest continues to get better These ladies are healthy and happy

Week 6 update: What up Grow family. These testers are growing fast and strong. Where in week 6 now and the swelling and ripening of flowers are going amazing. Still feeding 500ml/16oz daily as I've found that's the sweet spot for 3gal fabric pots for these. I'd say these probably have about 2 weeks left until they'll be finished. All in all Happy Growing.

Flowering has started on the skunk and white widow and the end games are looking like any day now. All are healthy and doing well. They been needing water every two days so ive been feeding flora grow 3 part at 2 teaspoon grow 2 micro 2 bloom,than plain water than recharge at 1 teaspoon per gallon. The one end game is about 6 feet without the pot as of today and it just started the stretch. The other plants are about 3. 5 to 4.5 feet and bushy wider than a hula hoop for sure. I had some trouble at the beginning of the grow with low soil ph and some over watering on my part and from all the rain in the beginning but seems ive got it under control as they are looking and growing great. I did a little lst to open up the canopy and get some light down in there.
