I’m definitely in the harvest window and will probably chop her any time now. Today is day 59 and tomorrow day 60. The smell is wonderful. Kind of pungent and earthy lemon type smell. The fan leaves never did recover from I guess heat stress maybe. Not sure what caused them to taco. Maybe heat or light stress. I’d let the plant go longer if the fan and sugar leaves were healthier. I don’t want to risk any dead leaves causing bud rot to take hold unless I’m overthinking it. I’m very exited to dry her soon! Will be putting my VCure to the test with its 14 day craft cycle. Very curious to see how the end product comes out through the VCure vs my previous tent dries. I suspect the finished product will be great. 😀

Wappa was a real joy to grow. It stretches enormously during flowering and doesn't require a long vegetative period. The aroma is fruity with a slight hint of vanilla. The buds are very dense.

Flowering day 16 since time change to 12/12 h Hey everyone 😀 The ladies are developing beautifully 😊. Since, as already mentioned, I work with the same genetics from last time (at that time with 3 plants, topping and scrog) this time work with all 8 and immediately after rooting on 12/12 I am very curious how much they will still grow 😂. The back and middle ones are pretty little trees like I imagined. The front small plants will probably not do much in size either, which is not a problem since I tried it as an experiment :-). Then there are mini trees 😂👍. Otherwise everything is going great 😊. This week the entire water was changed, and this time instead of the Canna Aqua Vega filled with Canna Aqua Flores because the first flowers appear ☺️. I'm curious what happens this week, especially with the front 😂 and wish you a lot of fun with the update. Sorry for the flickering in the video. it's because of the lamp and unfortunately I can't get the system out every time :-(.

Woche 19 – Blütewoche 4 Diese Woche war weniger spektakulär als die letzten – zumindest wenn man meinen Zeitraffer fragt. 😅 Der Stretch scheint nun endgültig abgeschlossen zu sein. Im Vergleich zu den vergangenen Wochen bewegt sich das Blätterdach kaum noch nach oben. Stattdessen beginnt die Laughing Buddha sichtbar damit, ihre Energie in die Blüten zu stecken. Die einzelnen Budsites werden kompakter, die Blütenstände verbinden sich zunehmend entlang der Triebe und die Harzproduktion nimmt ordentlich Fahrt auf. Gerade auf den Sugar Leaves ist mittlerweile schon eine schöne Schicht Trichome zu sehen. Für Blütewoche 4 kann ich mich über die Entwicklung der Buds definitiv nicht beschweren. Ganz zufrieden war ich diese Woche trotzdem nicht. Das Sorgenkind: die Blattfarbe Bereits in der letzten Zeit wurde das Laub zunehmend heller. Einige ältere Fächer zeigen inzwischen deutliche Chlorosen und teilweise kleine braune bzw. nekrotische Stellen. Anfangs hatte ich vor allem die Nährstoffversorgung im Verdacht. Rückblickend habe ich aber wahrscheinlich selbst einen Teil zu dem Problem beigetragen. Also wurde diese Woche nicht einfach blind weitergedüngt, sondern erstmal genauer hingeschaut. Ich habe meinen pH-Pen neu kalibriert und anschließend Wasser und Erde überprüft. Mein Leitungswasser liegt ungefähr bei pH 7,7 und ist ziemlich hart. Zusätzlich habe ich eine Bodenprobe angesetzt, um besser einschätzen zu können, was tatsächlich im Substrat passiert. Auch beim Enhancer musste ich feststellen, dass ich ihn bisher nicht ganz so eingesetzt hatte, wie ursprünglich vorgesehen. Dazu kamen zeitweise ziemlich hohe Lichtintensitäten und durch die heißen Tage teilweise entsprechend hohe VPD-Werte. Kurz gesagt: Wahrscheinlich war es nicht der eine große Fehler, sondern mehrere kleine Faktoren gleichzeitig. Und ja – auch solche Sachen gehören für mich in ein Grow-Tagebuch. Fehler passieren. Entscheidend ist, sie zu erkennen und daraus zu lernen. Mäh sin hier ja nit bi Wünsch dir Watt. 🤣 💡 Licht & Klima Bei der Beleuchtung habe ich diese Woche ebenfalls nachjustiert. Die Gorilla hängt jetzt ungefähr 50 cm über dem Canopy und läuft bei 91 %. Am Sensor kommen damit rund 890 PPFD an. Damit bin ich wieder ziemlich genau in dem Bereich, den ich für die weitere Blüte haben möchte, ohne der Buddha unnötig noch mehr Stress aufzudrücken. Die heißen Augusttage haben die Klimaanlage ordentlich beschäftigt. Zeitweise ging die Temperatur deutlich nach oben und damit auch der VPD. An den gemäßigteren Tagen ließ sich das Klima dagegen wesentlich besser kontrollieren. Fütterung & Bewässerung Zum Übergang in BW4 bekam die Buddha wie geplant ihren Green House Feeding BioBloom Topdress. Anschließend wurde mit Enhancer gegossen. Danach hieß es erstmal: beobachten. Ich möchte jetzt nicht den Fehler machen, wegen der hellen Blätter ständig weitere Änderungen vorzunehmen. Bereits geschädigte Blätter werden ohnehin nicht plötzlich wieder dunkelgrün. Viel interessanter ist, ob sich das Schadbild weiter ausbreitet oder nach den vorgenommenen Änderungen stabilisiert. Auch die beiden Bodensensoren waren diese Woche wieder ziemlich hilfreich. Man sieht mittlerweile sehr schön, wie schnell die Pflanze ihren 45 Liter Topf leerzieht. Am heutigen Gießtag konnte man anschließend sogar unmittelbar verfolgen, wie die Bodenfeuchtigkeit nach oben sprang und sich das Wasser anschließend im Substrat verteilte. 🌸 Blütenentwicklung Und während ich mir über irgendwelche gelben Blätter den Kopf zerbreche, scheint die Buddha selbst davon relativ wenig beeindruckt zu sein. 😅 Die Blütenentwicklung läuft weiter. Viele Tops tragen mittlerweile klar ausgebildete Colas, die Buds werden zunehmend dichter und vor allem die Harzproduktion gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut. Gleichzeitig stehen noch Unmengen frischer weißer Pistillen heraus. Da ist also noch sehr, sehr viel Luft nach oben. Der Unterschied zwischen Pflanzen- und Blütenbild ist momentan fast schon absurd: Einige Fächer sehen aus, als wollten sie mir unbedingt mitteilen, dass etwas nicht stimmt – und direkt daneben sitzt ein komplett bereifter Bud und sagt: „Keine Ahnung, was dein Problem ist.“ 🤣 🎥 Zeitraffer der Woche Nach dem Stretch der letzten Wochen hatte ich diesmal mit einem spektakulären Zeitraffer gerechnet. Tja. Absolut unspektakulär. 🤣 Aber beim direkten Vergleich zwischen Anfang und Ende erkennt man trotzdem die entscheidende Veränderung: Die Höhe bleibt nahezu konstant, während die Blüten langsam an Volumen gewinnen. Und eigentlich ist genau das die beste Nachricht dieser Woche. Der Bau des Gerüsts ist beendet. Jetzt darf sie fett werden. 😏🌳 📋 Fazit Blütewoche 4 Keine perfekte Woche – aber wahrscheinlich eine ziemlich wichtige. Ich habe beim Licht nachjustiert, meine Wasser-/Bodensituation genauer untersucht, die Düngung aufgefrischt und dabei auch ein paar eigene Fehler bzw. mögliche Fehlentscheidungen gefunden. Jetzt werde ich nicht hektisch weiter korrigieren, sondern der Pflanze erstmal Zeit geben zu reagieren. Denn trotz der auffälligen Blattfarbe macht die Laughing Buddha genau das, was sie momentan machen soll: Sie baut Blüten. Und davon verdammt viele. 😍 Auf in Blütewoche 5.

Well 🍪🍪🍪 that's my first one and hopefully I will manage to grow a big healthy girl without too much hassle. I planted the seed on the last day of 2019 and germinated on 4th of January with some emotions. After two days in the germination room I transferred it in the smart pot from RQS which they say it's for 11 l but I managed to fill it with 20 l of organic soil mixed with GROW CAPS. Follow my journey and help me with your advices. What do you think? It's a good start or not so?

The Do Si Dos F1 Hybrid Automatic, did not start off well, they are a bit with the leaves gathered on themselves, but we are very confident of a fiery continuation, they have spoken very well of them and now that they take a little more nutrients you will see how they will go. Growing projects for autoflowering plants ----- As for autoflowering plants I really love preserving the Main Cola. So I will try to make or grow the plants well or badly without affecting the main cola. Nowadays topping on autoflowering plants is very accepted but it is not my favorite thing to transform a baby born to finish in 10 weeks into a baby that finishes in 14, I say at this point I do photoperiodic. But in periods of people who only grow autoflowering everything is permitted for goodness sake if you want to do it, do it I will not be the one to stop you. Also because the results are excellent nothing to really discuss about anything except time. All this to tell us that I recommend for example fimming on plants that tend to grow tall to give power to the lateral branches, LST as much as you want, I don't like too much, spread me out, I need space. HST and splitting are with experience. These are my tips not the absolute truth please do not mistake me for a great sage holder of the truth I speak as I see it. The first week went only with Power Roots 1 Ml/l and Pure Zym 1 ml/l from now on we will start with ALga Grow. The plants were transplanted shortly after germination because the biodegradable pots were very small. The soil is Plagron Pro Mix 100% organic renewed with 30% new soil and 20% Perlite added. (Pro mix does not have perlite but is airy, we added it anyway) Plagron fertilizers are available on Zamnesia in convenient Pack formats for all growing styles. I used this with a simple search you can find the other products. ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/12119-plagron-top-grow-box-100-naturale.html Try a seed of this variety that drives us crazy... ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10664-zamnesia-seeds-do-si-dos-f1-automatic.html Description Zamnesia // From the team at Zamnesia Seeds comes Do-Si-Dos F1 Automatic. Using consistent and reliable F1 genetics, this strain is not only incredibly easy to grow, but also offers potent and delicious buds. The plants remain small and offer a reliable growing experience that everyone will enjoy. Growbox and Air System - Secret Jardin DS120w + fans + exhaust fans and DF16 filters kit ---- https://www.secretjardin.com All the best that mother nature has to offer is at ----www.zamnesia.com Collaboration request: I am available for collaborations with companies of lights and various growing equipment (please no seed and nut companies) I would like to renovate my 120x120 space that has slightly outdated lights and would like to try some controllers.

What a journey it has been from seed! I made a lot of mistakes in the first few weeks of this growing journey. I feel like I had a mini-crash after finishing the first year of grad school, and although I am growing cannabis as part of my research project, I haven't been the greatest at paying attention to it. This is not an excuse. It has actually been a learning opportunity. I realized that my body needs proper schedules to function and grow, just like a plant. The problems with the plant have really been my own problems. Let's just say that a plant may be the reflection of the grower. First, the light cycles were wrong and inconsistent. I thought that I could manually control the light schedule for the plants and be alright. However, I was wrong. My sleep schedule has been very inconsistent for the past few months. Mainly because we are living through a pandemic, and secondly because I am a graduate student 😂. How naive was it of me to think that a plant could follow my own rhythms? I guess it highlights my 'plant blindness.' Second, the light intensity was low and PH levels high. In the last five days, I have learned that plants are living organisms (I knew this, but my plant blindness is quick to dismiss it, I need to stop fighting these "plant voices" (signals)) that require a proper environment to grow, similar to humans. Of course, a plant is not human, but it is alive and living. It needs water, a regular schedule (light (active) /darkness (rest), oxygen, nutrients, and an overall good environment to grow. Concern about the size of my plant at five weeks, I decided to conduct a few experiments at home. Here are my notes: Friday, July 23, 2021, I took the plant out of the tent at 6:00 AM and placed it in front of my backyard window that faces the Eastside, perfect for sunrise. On that day, I had a few errands to run, and when I arrived home, it was 2:30 PM. The sun was now hitting the West side of my house, and I had to move the plant in front of my bedroom window. At around 7:00 PM, I went to look at the plant and noticed that its leaves were looking plumpy. So, I decided to take a timelapse to see what I would be able to record. During "magic hour" (sunset), I recorded and witnessed the plant moving with the rhythms of the sun. Plant, like humans, function at their best when they are synchronized with their circadian rhythm. The pandemic has definitely disoriented us to the point that it has disrupted all of our schedules. To this day, I feel tired from everything we have all been through; how could I possibly think that a plant would thrive with such a messed-up schedule? The time lapse made me realize that the plant needs some structure to thrive, and so do I. So, as much as I like to think that I can be disciplined and follow a plant's schedule, I cannot. So, I went to the store and bought the Globe Suite smart plug to automate and schedule the light cycle to 12hrs of light and 6 hours of darkness. Saturday, July 24, 2021, the plant woke up to the set schedule of the lights. I checked on the plant first thing in the morning, around 9:30 AM. The leaves look much greener and thicker than they did the day before. Sunday, July 25, 2021. I was away overnight and did not arrive home until 2 PM. The plant looks twice the size it was on Friday! Today, I will water the plant. I got a PH test kit and realized that the way that I measured the PH level, the first few weeks was wrong 🤦‍♀️🏽. I measured the PH correctly, to 5.9, and added some Reefertilizer grow nutrients to the water. I watered from the top, distributing the water evenly around the stem. My partner pointed to me that the lights seemed dim for the stage of the plant's life. So I had my lights set at 100 watts running at 20 % 😅. I realized that I had not increased the light intensity since the first few weeks of vegetation 🤦‍♀️🏽. So I increased the intensity to 100 watts running at 60%. Monday, July 26, 2021. First check-in 7:00 AM: The plant looks like it loves all of the new changes that I have made! It is finally growing 🤗 The sun is out, but it is not as intense as it should be because tiny particles of smoke are present in our air due to the wildfires, and they create a filter that makes the human eye see the sun blood red. It is quite apocalyptic. Regardless, I decided to take the plant out from the tent and record a time-lapse. It is fascinating how much movement plants have despite showing no noticeable signs of movement (to the human eye). Tuesday, July 27, 2021. It has been five days since I have made big changes to the plant's schedule and environment. The plant is finally showing good signs of growth, and its leaves colours have changed to a deep green. I am not watering the plant today, but I am spritzing it with water. I decided to take another time-lapse of the plant, but this time inside the tent. As I was setting up the tripod for my camera, I accidentally increased the humidifier 🤦‍♀️🏽. Luckily, I noticed within a reasonable timeframe and reduced the humidity and made the environment better. I increased the light intensity to 100 watts at 100%. The plant will stay in the tent all day today because it is raining ☔️.

Good start off to week 4. I did a 50 litre flush for pheno #1 and she bounced back real good. She is super happy and growth is really starting to pick up. A little more small in the tent now so I’m happy. I’ve also added bamboo sticks for both plants since I’m not using scrog so no trellis net to stop the plants from falling over once they start to pack on weight. Excited to see how the next couple are gonna go. Hopefully no more issues :)

Watering has increased for this young one to grow and access readily available nutrients. I might be topping her as well considering how tight of a structure she has.

Extrema producción de tricomas de esta variedad! Gran parte de los frutos lo usaré para extraer rosin, su resina se ve ideal para este propósito. Fragancia exquisita a ponche de fruta dulce, con notas ácidas y un fondo de especias. Como mencioné anteriormente dejaré la parte de la reseña de efectos, sabores y sensaciones para cuando los cogollos estén secos y curados, por ahora solo puedo apreciar lo que mi vista y olfato me permiten captar. Totalmente conforme por la calidad de estas flores y agradecido de los amigos de Sweet Seeds por la confianza. Será hasta la cata entonces, buenos humos!

💜 Week 7 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno A) The One Who Refuses to Slow Down Every grow has that one plant. The one that simply refuses to follow the pace of everyone else. While some of the ladies in the 8×8 Adventure have already shifted almost entirely into building flowers, this Purple CousKush still seems to have endless energy. She's stretching, branching, stacking flowers, producing fresh pistils and beginning to lay down the first noticeable layer of frost—all at the same time. It's almost as if she decided that flowering wasn't enough. She wanted to keep building everything. Watching her evolve over the last week has been one of the highlights of this entire project. Every day she seems a little taller, a little fuller and a little more beautiful. Some plants grow. Others perform. 🌱 Week 7 – A Beautiful Structure Comes Alive Standing at approximately 90 cm, she has added another impressive burst of vertical growth while maintaining the elegant structure that first caught my attention several weeks ago. From a distance she almost resembles a Christmas tree, not because she's perfectly symmetrical from top to bottom, but because of the way her side branches rise evenly around a dominant central leader that proudly stretches above the canopy. The main cola continues reaching for the light while the surrounding branches develop into an impressive collection of secondary tops, creating an architecture that feels both natural and incredibly efficient. The stretch hasn't completely stopped yet, but it's beginning to slow enough that flower production is now taking centre stage. Every branch is carrying healthy clusters of bright white pistils. The buds are beginning to stack along the stems. The first sparkling trichomes are appearing on the sugar leaves. The transition into full bloom is now impossible to miss. 🌿 Different Genetics. Different Personalities. One of the things I enjoy most about growing from seed is being reminded that genetics always have the final word. Every plant inside this room receives exactly the same care. The same environment. The same nutrition. The same lighting. The same attention. Yet every phenotype tells a completely different story. Some stay compact. Some stretch aggressively. Some begin stacking flowers early. Others spend longer building structure before committing their energy to bloom. Purple CousKush Pheno A has chosen her own path from day one. Instead of comparing her with the others, I've learned to appreciate exactly what makes her unique. That's one of the greatest lessons cultivation can teach us. Success isn't making every plant look identical. Success is allowing every plant to express its own genetic potential. 🍃 Plant Health Health continues to be exceptional from top to bottom. The foliage maintains a rich, healthy green colour with excellent leaf posture throughout the canopy. The stems have thickened considerably over the last week, providing outstanding support for what will eventually become long flowering colas. The internodal spacing remains one of my favourite characteristics of this phenotype. Open enough to allow superb airflow. Close enough to create beautiful flower stacking. Combined with the early Low Stress Training, the canopy now feels incredibly open, making light penetration and air circulation almost effortless. Sometimes less intervention produces the best results. 💡 Lighting – A New Chapter Begins This week also marks an exciting addition to the grow. The Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system has officially joined the 8×8 Adventure. While the Future of Grow Black Series LED continues delivering outstanding intensity from above, the Lumiflora bars now provide valuable light beneath the canopy, reaching lower flowering sites that traditionally receive far less energy during bloom. For a phenotype like this, with long side branches carrying multiple developing flowers, under-canopy lighting has the potential to become a genuine game changer. Instead of allowing lower bud sites to develop in shade, they now receive additional light exactly where it's needed. It'll be fascinating to watch how this influences flower development over the coming weeks. Sometimes progress comes from adding more light. Sometimes it comes from placing that light in a smarter location. 💧 Feeding Program Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container and hand-watered with approximately 1 litre per irrigation, she continues responding beautifully to her flowering nutrition. Current feeding: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Maintaining: • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm The increase in EC has been accepted without hesitation. Leaf colour remains perfectly balanced, flower production continues accelerating, and the plant shows absolutely no indication of nutrient stress. When a feeding program is working this well, consistency becomes the most valuable nutrient of all. 🌡️ Environment Environmental stability continues allowing every phenotype to perform at its full potential. Current conditions: • 12/12 light schedule from seed • Approximately 850 PPFD • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root-zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Stable conditions continue making all the difference, allowing the plants to dedicate their energy toward growth rather than constantly adapting to environmental changes. 🔍 Looking Ahead Although she's beginning to slow her vertical growth, I don't think she's quite finished stretching yet. Over the coming week I expect the remaining stretch to gradually fade while the flowers begin swelling much more noticeably along every branch. The open structure she's built over the past several weeks should now become one of her biggest advantages, allowing every flowering site to receive excellent light while maintaining outstanding airflow throughout the canopy. With the addition of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting, I'm especially excited to see how those lower bud sites respond. The framework is complete. Now it's time for the flowers to fill it. 💭 Final Thoughts This Purple CousKush reminds me that plants don't wait for each other. Every phenotype follows its own internal calendar. She isn't concerned with what the rest of the room is doing. She's simply following her genetics, growing exactly the way she was designed to grow. Watching that individuality unfold is one of the greatest rewards of growing from seed. Every week she seems to reveal another layer of her personality. Taller. Stronger. More elegant. And now, finally, beautifully covered with the first signs of resin that promise wonderful things in the weeks ahead. Sometimes the best growers aren't the ones who control every detail. They're the ones who know when to step back and simply let great genetics tell their own story. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Your encouragement, questions and shared experiences continue to make every update even more rewarding. A special thank you to the incredible companies helping make this grow possible: 💜 Zamnesia for these fantastic Purple CousKush genetics. 💜 Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these ladies thriving. 💜 Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting from above. 💜 Lumiflora for bringing a whole new dimension to this flowering room with their incredible under-canopy lighting. 💜 TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment throughout every stage of the grow. And finally, thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community. Every comment, every question and every visit makes this journey even more enjoyable. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

From the looks of it. I am in early stages of root rot. Plant is not growing as fast as it was at all. It can be a few things. Light penetration into the bucket. My water temps are around 70f. So I think that's okay. I had some extra mylar from a grow I did years ago. Cut pieces to go over the kids hopefully that helps. I took out all additives besides CalMag. They were fouling the rez as usual. Dropping the Ph as usual. I think it's also the cause of the root rot. I have sprayed soaked with h202 and have added it to the reservoir after a cleaning and a water change. Looks a bit better. I'm located in Canada and I cannot find hydroguard anywhere. Which kinda sucks. Any alternatives would be great. Thanks
