Die neue Woche im Growzelt fühlt sich ein bisschen an wie ein Besuch bei einem übermotivierten Fitnessstudio-Neuling: alles wächst, alles drängt nach vorne, und niemand kennt sein Limit. Der Permanent Marker steht da wie eine gedrungene Schönheit mit breiten Indica-Blättern, so gesund, dass man fast ein schlechtes Gewissen bekommt, überhaupt eine Schere in die Hand zu nehmen. Triebe überall, kräftig, ehrgeizig, alle mit dem festen Vorsatz, der Main Character zu sein. Die Auswahl, wer bleiben darf, gleicht eher einer Castingshow als Gartenarbeit, denn eigentlich hätte jeder eine Runde weiter verdient. Der Nodienabstand ist so kurz, dass man zweimal hinschauen muss, um überhaupt zu sehen, wo ein Abschnitt endet und der nächste beginnt, was das Ganze nicht gerade einfacher macht. Die Pflanze verträgt Dünger, als wäre es ein Energy-Drink, und quittiert jede Gabe mit noch mehr Wachstum, sehr erfreulich, aber auch leicht beunruhigend, wenn man Richtung Zeltdecke schielt. SCROG rückt damit endgültig vom netten Plan zur absoluten Notwendigkeit auf. Ein Trieb hat sich im Eifer des Gefechts verabschiedet (RIP, kleiner Held), wurde aber stoisch weggesteckt. Die verbleibenden Kandidaten haben die frei gewordene Energie dankend übernommen. Insgesamt bleibt das Gefühl: alles läuft hervorragend, vielleicht sogar zu hervorragend. Wenn das so weitergeht, wird nicht die Frage sein, ob der Permanent Marker performt, sondern ob das Zelt am Ende groß genug für seinen Ehrgeiz ist. Was sagt ihr zu unserem Permanent Marker?

This weeks been great besides the heat 😬 had some good cooler days that allowed me to really cool down the tent and get a good vpd reading at night. I’ve been trying to hold the humidity roughly round 35, 40% but it’s hard in this dry heat. Been learning to balance temperature and humidity for the best vpd reading. The og kush is showing some yellowing of the tips of the leafs. I’m thinking it’s from the heat. I am like the signs of purple in the one og kush plant. Crazy how they are 2 same og kush seeds and they are both growing similar and different at the same time haha! I love seeing the recovery of the tops and the reward for all the work put into veg! Gonna keep going strong the next 4 weeks! Been doing about 6.20 6.10 for ph. Also keeping the water cooler to keep them roots cool! Great week headed into week 4 after week 4 no more big bud on nutrients. Super excited 🔥 also wanna talk about how well all these strains are growing! Super proud the pineapple chunk is doing great the 2nd plant in the back is a bit shorter but she’s growing strong many tops! And doing well in flowering a little burnt tips on the fan leaves but nothing major! Happy growing yallll!!

🌱 Week 1 Update: Terpyz Mutant Mentha de Croco Journey 🌱 Hey Grow Fam! The Mentha de Croco sprouts are officially a week in, and they’re already showing off their unique personality, each one growing at its own pace. They’re rocking some funky vibes and loving life inside the dome! Here’s a full update on their progress, care, and setup for Week 1. Living Environment: The Humidity Dome Setup The seedlings are living in a humidity dome, where we’re keeping the relative humidity (RH) close to 100%. This level of RH mimics a tropical environment, creating the ideal conditions for delicate young plants that need extra hydration support as they begin to develop roots and leaves. Why High Humidity? • Encourages Strong Root Development: At nearly 100% RH, plants focus on root growth while pulling in moisture directly from the air, helping them establish themselves early on. • Protects from Stress: The high humidity reduces transpiration (water loss through leaves), which prevents drying and keeps seedlings hydrated. • Promotes Healthy Leaf Growth: With constant access to moisture, the leaves expand smoothly, giving each plant a strong start in the vegetative phase. Growth Status & Observations 🌱 These little mutants are showing some funky characteristics and growing at their own unique pace—a perfect reminder that no two plants are the same! Each seedling has sprouted its initial set of leaves, and I’m seeing great promise in their vigor and resilience. Key Observations: • Color: The seedlings are a healthy green, with some displaying slight variances in shade—typical of unique genetics like Mentha de Croco. • Structure: Leaves are developing steadily, with short internodes (the space between sets of leaves) that hint at nice, compact growth patterns as they continue. • Energy: Each plant seems to be finding its rhythm, which is a beautiful thing to watch! Some are taking their time, while others are diving right into rapid growth. Nutrients & Supplements 💧 For this first week, I’m keeping it light on nutrients, letting the seedlings draw what they need from the Root Riots and the remaining seed stores. However, I’ve continued using Aptus Holland’s Regulator and Startbooster, both at 1ml/L, to support foundational growth. Why These Nutrients? • Aptus Regulator: Adds silicon to fortify cell walls, giving the seedlings extra strength to handle environmental changes. Even under the dome, this helps build resilience. • Aptus Startbooster: Supplies essential microbes and root stimulators, setting up these little ones for explosive root growth once they’re ready to venture outside the dome. Lighting: FOG LED & Environmental Control 💡 I’ve kept the Future of Grow (FOG) 600W LED dimmed to around 200 PPFD to avoid overwhelming these tender seedlings with too much light. They’re getting just enough energy to support healthy photosynthesis without stressing them in their early stages. Lighting Benefits at Low Intensity: • Prevents Stretching: With the lower PPFD, plants stay compact and focused on root and leaf development rather than reaching for the light. • Supports Early Photosynthesis: The FOG LED’s balanced spectrum provides all the wavelengths these seedlings need to kick off photosynthesis and grow with vitality. Controlled through the TrolMaster Tent X, the lighting schedule is consistent and stable. With this controller, I can manage humidity, lighting, and temperature settings all from one place, ensuring the environment stays perfect for these little ones. Reflection & Tips for Fellow Growers 💡 Week 1 is about creating a stress-free environment for seedlings to adjust and establish themselves. Here’s a bit of wisdom for anyone embarking on a similar grow: 💧 Humidity & Hydration: High humidity is a seedling’s best friend. Keep your dome or grow area humid for strong, happy plants. 💡 Light Management: Keep lighting low to encourage compact growth and let those roots dig in. Adjust lighting gradually as they grow to avoid any shock. 🌱 Patience with Genetics: Each plant has its own rhythm, especially with unique genetics like these. Let them show you what they’re made of without pushing too fast. Shout Outs & Community Love 💚 Much love to Terpyz Genetics for these incredible seeds, Aptus Holland for the nutrients, Future of Grow for the stellar LED, and TrolMaster for the environmental control. Big shout out to everyone following this journey—it’s always a blast sharing with you all. Let’s keep the positive energy flowing and watch these seedlings turn into something amazing together! Stay tuned for Week 2 updates—more growth, more funk, and more growers’ love!

Hi gromie's, well were at day 29 of flowering & day 64 in total. She has grown some really nice chunky dense buds & has a fairly strong sweet/ lemon/citrus smell to her. She is getting closer to harvest, starting to get cloudy trichomes & pistills starting to change colour, Calyx closed & swelling. Nice & sticky!

💜 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! 🌱💚

Day 35 - few pics and vids..... everything going along nicely 👍 This is a pretty big update, so i'll add to it over the next few days, as i finish building it all.... i'm building these 2 x SS haze, the full tent, just finishing up the setup..... trimming them, changing solutions to 12/12 and flower..... changed the exhaust fan and filter setup to the better outside the tent method.... and installed 12v CPU computer fan, lol ("alta9" fits in 4in ducting perfectly), drops wattage on extractor fan.... 10w tops... got a few kg of active carbon and making/replacing the carbon filter .... i'll add afew vids of the new setup in afew days... Day 36 - few pics/vid of new tent setup...... "alta 9" fan :) post tomorrow after i finish trimmin and settin up night mode etc...... and into tomorrow we go, lol ... Day 37.... slowly getting there..... little bit more to go... this should make things abit more interesting..... right tank (short babie) has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 150 ml -dutch master one gold FLOWER.... 6.4 PH - 1400 PPM left tank has : 19 lts of tap water @18oC + 50 ml of elements a and 50ml of b and 10 ml of nitro and 20ml of Crystalic (molasses/pot) .... 6.5 PH - 1200 PPM more pics / vids of the finished tent setup.... roots, transfer, etc... Day 37 is alot of vids of the clean and change to flower..... edit - day after build noticed left tank (nutrifield) not enough bubbles..... pulled out the 4 air pump and swapped to the 2 x original oxipumps... much better, also to fix the problem with ph goin high, and bubbles not stirin the mix, was to add another 10ml of crystallic and another 5ml of nitro... then pumped both tanks with ph down and set em to 5.8-6.2 - both plants have fully recovered from the big trim, and bounced back within 12-24hrs, post pics/vid in abit..... Day 39 - made a freaky video... was curious about what the plants would see looking up at the lights... the lights and buzzing of air compressors and bubbling tank water, and dazzling lights turned out pretty cool in vid editor, was in selfie mode.... and final vid of the bounceback from trim :) 👍😎

Hello Growmies, The final chapter of this incredible journey has unfolded, and it's time to share the bountiful harvest and reflections on the entire cultivation process. Trimming the plant was a joy, and with gentle fingers, I removed all the large fan leaves. The precision in this process revealed the true beauty of the buds, setting the stage for a smooth harvest. With care and gratitude, the plant was chopped, and the buds were hung to dry. The anticipation for what lies ahead only adds to the sense of accomplishment. The wet weight, excluding fan leaves, stands at an impressive 782 grams. The buds are massive, a testament to the efficacy of the nutrients used, particularly the Power Buds. The name seems apt, as the result is a collection of sticky, dense buds with subtle lemon notes and sweet pungent undertones. In the final moments, the plant unveiled some delightful purple hues. While I wish I could have allowed them to intensify further, it's a reminder that each grow is a learning experience. In hindsight, a slightly longer fading period would have accentuated those beautiful colors. We live and learn, and that's the essence of this journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron and Zamnesia for hosting this amazing contest. The quality of the products and the support throughout the journey have been invaluable. As this chapter concludes, I'm left with a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for the collective experience we've shared. The plant's growth, from seed to harvest, has been a testament to the art and science of cultivation. Feel free to check out my other adventures in my bigger environments, until then...happy growing! Stay Lifted Salokin

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de floración de estas FBA2506 de FastBuds. De las 5 plantas, retiré una y me quede con 4 , preselección. La tierra que utilizamos que está en la publicación anterior es top crop all mix, Por supuesto el ph se mide en cada riego y se mantiene en 6.2, regando cada 48 horas e intentando mantener la humedad en torno al 50 %. Las flores ya están progresando rápido y están cogiendo las 4 un tono morado bastante curioso. Los aromas por el momento dulces con tonos afrutados, como a gominolas o chicles. Un ejemplar sigue un poco sobrefertilizado, es la única con la que me corto para alimentar. Las próximas semanas vamos viendo cómo florecen, avanzan y terminan de madurar. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

| Week 8 is in the books, as is week 9 and 10 to be honest - but I don't have to be, so just week 8. Yap. Climate management is now the main focus | Humidity has been out of control as I flip my AC from cooling to drying mode. Which, as you may know, like I do now, just causes a maximally cold jet stream and your dry air goes *poof* outside the building. So no help there. Ye old SF Dehumidifier is looking at this tent and sweating out what it can, which is not a lot. The result is a VPD that is way too low for my plants to uptake more nutrients with, and this for almost a week straight. Cultivars -- are doing just fine to be honest * Auto Cinderella Jack has been recovering from my super-late pruning interventions, so I gave it a last round. She grew out what feels like another smaller Autoflower as she realized what is possible with her new structure. I can't trim another bag of larfy buds for 16 hours straight, so I had to make a choice. The nutrient uptake being impaired by VPD alone (her DLI is a bit too high here as well) means no big buds as the clock is ticking. * Apollo Haze Auto is just trucking along. I am watching in awe on how big these bud bases are getting. She seems a little advanced for her age,. Stem rub is pure lemon bliss, buds otherwise reek a bit of a healthy musk I would not buy off the shelves for. I am not worried - her trichomes burst out with lemon and sours / bitters when ruptured. * Super Orange Haze Auto continues to dominate the tent with a sweet and subtle mandarine aura. Her rested state smell is starting to get a bit funky however, sesqueterpenes are accumulating as a dense protective layer. I do not hower fancy a tiny cheesy tingle in that mix :) Also looking pretty advanced for 8 weeks, I am starting to wonder what caused the racing. It likely is the same cause that spawned nanners (they seem to have stopped spawning). I attached vids, pics, stats. Hope you find something you enjoy. Happy growing everyone. - Pete
