Girls going well and fat ;)))) The one with leaves fades away very quick, had to take couple dead fan leaves. Everything else in photos ;) During week will make some night time video. P.s. had to finish my experiment, no space and i wanted some smoke already ;)) Fact : biger plant stayed biger, but leaves covered light and all buds at the bottom are airy and took loads of time to trim, never again i will leave uncleared bottom part of the plant ... Exact weights will post in a week or two ...

They are going slow but steady. Holding back on watering to help fight the gnats. They were with too many last week. Some yellow points because of an 'on the limit' foliar feed. Nothing to worry about. Still very lush greens. I'm thinking the main reason for their slower growth, is the fan that is on high. My mission from the start s to get thick stalks and branches, to facilitate larger buds. Also, I'm pushing the SP 3000 to its max for the age of my plants, they don't have to reach for the light, resulting in shorter, bushier plants. I don't mind, I think the flowering stretch will make up for that and fill the tent. Still very happy with the SP-3000 from Mars Hydro, a much more constant and manageable climate in the tent, a dream to work with. I made a thank you video for @MarsHydroLED, of course, to also show off my music. I'm thinking one or two more weeks before resetting the light schedule for flowering. I'm already late and if another week will deliver bigger and more buds, I will give them what they need. For those living in Europe, wanting to try super soil, see my recipe in the images. Thank you for following and your likes and support! It really keeps me motivated. Big Hug Bud

Amnesia and Cheese starting to create pistils, North Light hasn't started yet

Esta semana volvió a tener todas las hojas sanas. Le complete de tierra las macetas y les hice supercropping para controlar la altura porque no se cuando van a florar

11/03/24 need to get them into a bigger tent. running out of vertical space. 11/07 not sure if i should top them and try to keep them short or figure out how to get them into the flower 11/09 transplanted #2 into a 3 gal fab pot. #5 had to be topped at every main to keep her

Letzte Woche verlief ohne Probleme hätte auch noch 2 bis 3Tage länger stehen können. Mögen aber lieber weniger amberfarbene Trichome daher jetzt kommt sie schon ab.

day 1 - she is still growing day 4 - removed her LST string now. really like her shape and might even go for topping later in the grow day 6 - applyed a new string for more funny curves. without the LST she would be about 42cm

This was the last week of flowering and therefore I stopped giving any nutrients for a good FLUSH. This is very important in order to avoid a harsh smoke later when the plants are dried, because any nutrients left in the plant will burn your throat and the weed will hurt while you smoke it. Both Barbarian (=AK-47 x Barbara Bud) plants have developed well and carry hefty top buds on each side branch and also the main cola. The lower regions also carry buds, but those are a little more fluffy and not so big and dense as the top buds. Every bud is COVERED IN TRICHOMES and the plants glisten in the light, they are FROSTY AS HELL! The plants have a STRONG AROMA now, which is sweet and peachy with hints of sandalwood. They smell ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and I cant wait to try the dried end-product. All in all I can only recommend this strain, its not the biggest yielder, but definitely delivers connoisseur grade weed. Hats off to Mat from House of the Great Gardener in Canada, he has made another GREAT cross and I hope he will release this variety soon! 👍😍😎

They are in small felt pots for now, but I plan to transplant them in to big pots very soon. I want to try to avoid root bound plants... I've got some 30gal pots lined up.

Planted them in clear solo cups inside red ones with holes and bottoms cut. They sprouted after 3 days germination Date is sprout date. Super happy with these

day 49 just pure water phed down. it is day 51, morning before lights on, I might chop today. I use a zero water filter pitcher got off walmart. My humidifier is only a sonic wave. If you use regular tap water it will get gunky in a sonic humidifier. If you have a heat humidifier that boils the water the mist should be clean. These are the 2 types of water humidifiers. Researching best water filters this "zero water" also comes with a free ppm meter! yay! Other water pitcher brands; the water still has ppm. So water misted will still have ppm contamination. You can easily used distilled water only, and reverse osmosis. I just fill a 4gal office water jug with the pitcher and fill my humidifier when needed. I do not use a humidifier in my entire grow up to this point when I chop, I need the perfect rh or this whole effort can fail. growing up to this point only requires 20% effort, chopping now for the 2 weeks dry is this 80% of crucial determination, succeed. A lot of tasks are required today for a clean chop. I feel confident, observed my cross seeds with pink paradise and one with a slightly open caylex looks dark enough for successful germination. I figured 8-16 seeds may be created, 3-4 buds were potentially pollinated. Many growers don't understand when creating genetics with female/female there is a slight chance of herm. You lose 50% of your genetic function. Just water last 2 days, no humic no folvic, 1st time entire grow ha! There is a lot of cleaning to do, remove the trees, clean the entire tent and environment with bleach water, hacksaw. I am very proud of my grow. I have sampled 3 of the strains, dr. thunder legit made my lips numb but it could have just been the terps removing my skin cells from the sticky filter, no lie. This is my best grow to date. I did this for you, and to document hype or not under the best conditions I could give my plants, full max potential, although I wish I had more lights, I am not looking for industrial lol, this is how I grow. Learn a lot on youtube and podcasts there is many good content and I may dab into it. You can have a room full of growers and you have 1 seed in your hand, they will all tell you that their way is correct ;) and the best way. Oreo is stinky AF, Bridal is just amazing glad its massive, just not into sativa but the test seemed slight sativa with majority indica, pink untested, dr, thunder just a lip numming plant aha, its very nice, all 4 amazing appeal like advertised, and excited for next run. Either crosses from this or other copycat genetics. I will give you beautiful glamout shots today, the sizes of the plants, My guesstimate bridal 1lb, thunder 1lb, pink, 0.4lb, bridal 0.5, I am ambitious off 640w lm301h, and 4x 20w blurples daisy chained. day 51 4 chopped see you in a few weeks :D

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌱 She Bent. She Bounced Back. And She Kept Building. There are weeks in a grow where everything goes exactly according to plan. And then there are weeks where life happens. The room is busy. The outside world keeps moving. There are a thousand things happening at the same time... And occasionally, one of the plants reminds you that even the best plans still require us to pay attention. This week, Purple CousKush Pheno A taught me that lesson. I underwatered her. Nothing catastrophic. Nothing that caused lasting damage. But enough that when I looked at her, the leaves had completely dropped. She was thirsty. Very thirsty. And this is actually an important distinction for anyone following the diary: A controlled dry-back is not the same thing as allowing a flowering plant to become so dry that she starts wilting. The first can be part of an irrigation strategy. The second is simply me missing the watering window. 😂 So we corrected it. She received her water. We gave her time to recover. And by the following day... She was back. And not only was she back... She was ready for her next chapter. 💧 The Underwatering Lesson When a plant becomes this thirsty, the first thing I look for isn't panic. I look at the plant. Leaves dropping dramatically from a lack of available water is usually a very different visual story from nutrient toxicity, heat stress or a root-zone problem. In this case, the explanation was simple. She needed water. After watering, she recovered beautifully. That quick recovery was reassuring and also a good reminder that plants can be remarkably resilient. Still, during this stage of flowering, it's something I want to avoid repeating. I personally prefer being slightly more conservative with irrigation rather than keeping the root zone constantly saturated. But there's a difference between allowing a healthy dry-back and pushing the plant far enough that she has to start waving a little white flag. This week, Purple CousKush definitely waved it. Message received. 😂 I will do my best not to make her wave it again. ✂️ From Recovery Straight Into Defoliation Perhaps the most impressive part was what happened next. Once she had recovered and returned to normal posture, I gave her another day and then performed the flowering defoliation. This was part of the broader room strategy we've been following. The objective wasn't to strip her. It wasn't because she suddenly looked unhealthy. And it wasn't because every leaf needed to disappear. The goal was simply to clean up the canopy and remove foliage that was no longer contributing much to the plant's structure. Some of the interior and lower areas had become crowded, and selectively removing those leaves created more open space between the flowering sites. More room for air. More room for light. More room for the plant to breathe. And with the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting now part of the system, we're also able to observe which lower flowering sites are actually worth keeping. The plant herself will tell us. 🌿 She Took It Like Nothing Happened This is probably my favourite part of the entire week. After being underwatered... She recovered. After being defoliated... She didn't miss a beat. She's standing there looking beautiful, healthy and completely ready to continue flowering. No prolonged setback. No dramatic reaction. No hesitation. Just... Back to work. And honestly, that's exactly what I love about this phenotype. She has been one of the more energetic plants in this room from the beginning. She stretched. She branched. She built an impressive framework. She started stacking flowers. And now she's moving deeper into the part of flowering where that structure needs to start paying for itself. 💜 Week 5 Flower – The Structure Is Paying Off At approximately 125 cm, Purple CousKush Pheno A has become one of the taller and more distinctive plants in this room. Her Christmas-tree-like architecture has become even more obvious. A strong central leader rises through the canopy while numerous side branches form their own flowering towers around her. And now, after defoliation, that architecture is even easier to see. The plant has space. The branches are separated. The flowering sites have room around them. And the entire structure feels much more open. This is exactly what I want at this stage. We're no longer trying to build the plant. We're trying to help the plant finish what she already built. 🌸 Flowers Are Taking Over The flowers continue developing along virtually every major branch. Those bright pistils that were appearing last week are now becoming part of increasingly defined flowering clusters. The buds are beginning to gain substance. The calyxes are stacking. And the first layer of frost that appeared earlier is becoming increasingly visible. This is the beautiful transition where the plant starts looking less like a collection of flowering sites and more like an actual flowering plant. She's not finished. Not even close. But the direction is very clear. She's building. And she's building everywhere. 💡 Photons, Air & Open Space This is another reason I decided to clean her up. Defoliation isn't about magically creating more light. The photons are already there. What we're trying to do is improve how effectively that light can travel through the canopy. Every unnecessary leaf sitting directly above another flowering site can intercept some of that light. Every dense pocket of foliage can also interfere with airflow. By selectively removing some of those leaves, we create pathways. Light can travel deeper. Air can move more freely. Humidity has fewer opportunities to become trapped between dense layers of foliage. And the under-canopy lighting can interact with the lower structure more effectively. It's a little like opening windows in a house. We're not creating more air. We're simply giving the air better places to go. 🌱 Same Genetics. Different Story. One of the most rewarding things about this 8×8 Adventure continues to be the diversity happening inside one room. Twelve different genetic expressions. Same general environment. Same cultivation philosophy. Same room. Yet every plant writes her own story. Purple CousKush Pheno A has always been one of the plants that seems to have somewhere to go. She's taller. She's more energetic. She keeps producing structure. And even after a little reminder from me this week that she needed a drink... she's right back there doing her thing. That's genetics. We can guide. We can train. We can manage the environment. We can manage irrigation. But ultimately, the plant decides what she's going to be. 💧 Feeding & Root Zone The flowering feeding program continues with the Plagron lineup: Terra Bloom — 2.2 ml/L Pure Zym — 1 ml/L Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Power Buds — 1 ml/L Green Sensation — 1 ml/L pH Plus / Lemon Kick — as required for pH adjustment The target remains around: pH: 5.8 EC: approximately 1.95 mS/cm After this week's watering mistake, I'm particularly paying attention to irrigation timing. Not because the plant is struggling. Quite the opposite. Because she's growing beautifully, and I don't want a preventable watering mistake interrupting that momentum again. A healthy dry-back is part of irrigation management. A wilted plant is my reminder to look at the clock. 😂 🌡️ Environment The room continues providing a stable environment for the entire 8×8 Adventure: Light schedule: 12/12 PPFD: approximately 850–1,000 across the canopy Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 639 ppm The stability of this environment is what allows a mistake like underwatering to remain just that: a mistake. Not a disaster. The plant was healthy before it happened. The environment remained stable. The root zone was given water. And she recovered quickly. That's one of the reasons I put so much importance on the entire ecosystem rather than chasing one individual number. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now that the defoliation is complete and she's recovered, I'm expecting Purple CousKush to put her energy where we want it most. Into the flowers. The vertical stretch should continue slowing down. Flower clusters should continue stacking along those long branches. The calyxes should begin swelling more noticeably. And resin production should become increasingly obvious as she moves deeper into bloom. I'm particularly interested in watching how the cleaned canopy performs over the next couple of weeks. More airflow. Better light movement. Less unnecessary foliage. And hopefully... no more thirsty ladies waving their leaves at me. 😂 💭 Final Thoughts – A Little Reminder From The Plant This week wasn't perfect. And I'm actually glad it wasn't. Because growing isn't about pretending everything goes perfectly every day. It's about learning to read the plants. Purple CousKush told me she was thirsty. I listened. She recovered. Then she let me clean her up. And now she's standing there looking absolutely beautiful, waiting for the next chapter. I still genuinely prefer a slightly cautious approach to watering rather than constantly keeping the root zone saturated. But there's a lesson here: Dry-back can be intentional. Wilting is communication. And this girl communicated very clearly. 😂 I'll do my best not to make her repeat herself. For now, she's healthy. She's recovering beautifully. She's been defoliated. She's producing flowers. She's getting frosty. And she's continuing to prove why she earned her place in this 8×8 Adventure. Sometimes the plant teaches us through perfect growth. Sometimes she teaches us by dropping every leaf in the room and saying: "Hey, Doctor... I need a drink." 😂💜 A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these fantastic Purple CousKush genetics, Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout this journey, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing additional light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for keeping the environment under control, and of course everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has a story. Every week adds another chapter. And Purple CousKush Pheno A? She's still writing hers. She bent. She bounced back. She got cleaned up. And now she's shining again. 💜🌱 Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 💚

I grow in pure coco with organic nutrients

The blurple light is only for my germination stage. My KingLED lights are having some technical issues so these will suffice for now.

All going kind off as planed, appart from the SuperGlue Girl. just did a big 2,5 gallon Flush on her and now waiting for the soil to dry and start over the feedings. clean her good so i'm hopping for the best 😅 lets see how they react and if they cacth up 😍😋 Loving this LED Tec 😍 Girls: 1-BlueBerry 2-Alaskan Purple 3-Poyote Gorilla 4-Hindu Kush 5-Whitw Mango 6-Super Glue 7-Badazz Cookies 8-S.A.D. tent -8x8 / 2.4x2.4 but i'm only using 1/2 so 4x4 / 1.2x1.2 Led - Lumatek 465w Compact Pro at 100% All i Grow is medicine for myself, Stay safe, stay tuned and B Happy Peace out D

Letzte Blütewoche. Die trichome der Pflanzen sind milchig und werden zum Teil bernsteinfarben. Ich habe die Pflanzen 10 Tage lang mit klarem Wasser gespült. Morgen bekommen sie nochmal 48std. Dunkelheit und dann wird geerntet. Sie riechen sehr stark und kleben extrem.

Almost there!

August 23: Just finishing up about 36 hours of darkness, then I'm going to wash the buds, then hang them. Harvesting a bit early due to time constraints but it looks good. The smell is very dank, not a tropical skittles smell, much more like wood glue as I've seen mentioned in other reviews, although I'm starting to occasionally catch a sweeter tropical scent as well. I wanted to leave it a little longer. There were still a lot of white hairs when I started the dark period, but a lot of them seem to have developed into swollen calyxes so I'm pretty happy. I was a little worried they were making seed pods after last time, but I broke one open and all that was inside was red hairs. I'm going to keep an eye on the RH while they're drying and get them into jars and try to wait as long as possible before I start sampling. I can tell this is one of those batches that's going to get better and better if left alone for a couple months. Just did the wash, did 1.25 cups of 34% food grade H202 and a squeezed lemon in a 5 gal bucket. Another bucket of just water to rinse. Then I had a fan on it while hanging in the sunlight from a skylight in the bathroom for 30 min, then put the fan further back and on oscillate, then turned it down an hour later. Left it in there for a few hours, then hung it in the grow tent with everything removed except an oscillating fan, pointed away from the buds. I have the whole plant hanging in the middle of the tent and the tent is holding at 60% rh. Next run I'm going to do 2 buckets and only top once. I might leave them a bit longer in veg too to maximize the height in my grow space, and I'll get a proper 500w bulb instead of continuing to run 1000w bulbs at 50% to lower the heat a bit. The weather will be cooler and I'll only run one air stone in each bucket which should help with res temp. I'll probably foil-wrap the buckets again as well. I should be able to get another run done by the end of the year. I have a White Widow fem seed I've been waiting to use but I'm not sure what else I want to grow yet. Maybe Granddaddy Purp. I'll take some micro pics of the trichomes this week and start curing, and I'll post a proper review in a couple weeks. Happy growing everyone! August 24: I took it out of the tent to inspect. No mold or mildew. The middle of some buds are still pretty wet. I'll keep an eye on it. Wet weight on the stem is 158 grams/ 5.5oz. I harvested a couple branches last week and hung them up. I just ground up one of the buds, left it overnight and vaped some today. There was a bit of Chemdawg Tangerine in the grinder already but overall I got a lot of thick vapour, instant effects, and a really great tropical taste. I busted out the microscope camera and I realized I had a couple buds that fell off before I washed the plant in the H202, and a couple buds that came off in the washing process. It doesn't look like washing the buds took off any of the trichomes. I do seem to find less debris in the buds, not that there was much there before. The trichs look great. Just a light toasting of amber. The washed bud actually seems more dry than the unwashed bud. August 25: there's a real chlorophyll smell coming from the drying room today, it was much terpier yesterday. Leaves are getting crunchy, stems are still fully bendy. I ended up taking it down in the evening. The drying room rh dropped from 60% to 55% and the buds were starting to look too dry based on my last grow. I put it all in a paper bag for the night and I'll put it in jars tomorrow morning. Broken down most of the way it came out to 48-49 grams. From the bud structure, I definitely feel like it would have benefitted from more grow time if I didn't have to travel. More to come. August 26 - the edges of the buds are getting really crispy and the buds are getting tighter. I checked the paper bag earlier and it was 65-70%. I got the impression it was time to put it into jars. I'll keep the lids off for a bit.
