2 weeks ago I was having challenges maintaining a temp because it was too cold. This week has been the opposite, it's like summer in the first 2 weeks of spring. Internal temp in the tent has consistently been over 30c for the first 3 hours when the lights switch on, way too hot. Wish there was something I could do to drop the temp but when growing in a tin shed it's impossible. Warm days forecast for the next week anyhow. All I can do is water and not let the roots dry out. Oh well she's looking very nice anyhow, a massive growth spurt this week, possibly as a result of the increased temps.

🌿 Grow Diary Update: Week 5 Check-In 🌿 Hey growers, Can you believe it's Week 5 already? Time's flying, and so is our girl – she's a beast now! I've been itching to defoliate more, but I've maxed out the amount of defol i can do and i have now stopped completely to avoid stressing her out too much :/ Overall, she's looking happy, but I noticed some leaves getting darker than I'd like, so I dialed down the nitrogen a bit... Remember my PPMS struggle? Well, good news – got them down to 1200ppm but could not get it any lower.. i could lower the ppm/ec of intake even more to hopefully drop it but in this stage of flower feeding lower than 800ppms is too low unless you need to flush to reset the medium so i am just gonna keep sticking to the 800ppm feed for now and measure run off each time hopefully i can get it around 900-1000, yes these high ppm/ec levels are fine for cannabis but mostly when your using co2 thats like 700ppm+ but at the end of the day SHE LOOKS GREAT! Here's to another week of growth and learning! Happy growing, TheGreenGroomer🌱 ps - sorry for over exposed/out of focus images i will get better images for next update, also smells allot stronger when humidity is on the higher end, she smells so good!

The plant in the foreground has really has started to change from white hairs to orange, the second lady who was stunted early on, still has very platinum white hairs, but her buds are fattening nicely. The smell went from a beautiful sweet and earthy smell to a very heavy sweet and skunky smell. I absolutely love it. Two more weeks to harvest, and I am very excited. I made the mistake of brushing my arm against a bud while filming this, even after washing my arm with soap twice i still smell like dank bud!

Week 3 - nice growth in each plant, the blueberry is a lot hungrier, I may need to introduce a mid-week feeding of sensizym for her. The 2 OG kush have very tight node space and bud sights. A little bit of defoliation of fans leaves.

Seeds germinated in room temperature water for 36 hours in the dark.Planted today in 3 gal pots with a mix of happy frog and ocean forest soil.Used recharge in the first watering and now I wait for these 9 girls to be born .)

Week of admiring this girl is drinking water every 2 days without problems something big to take I need a lot more of that in my garden her resistance and incredible leaving in its natural form you only feed and observe because it makes great sprouts with incredible sugar, aroma sweet, previous weeks in veg the defoliation of everything that was underneath made something bigger in equal proportions, it really doesn’t need big lights to show its potential I believe that improving in each specific strain you know each one, being able to understand more and improve. Thanks for another week everyone, the trichomes are taking their best potential, I hope at any time to return with the harvest 😁

Hello. This is the end of week 8 and the beginning of week 9 of flowering. OK. Last look at these plants before harvest. Thought I might harvest this week till I saw the weather forecast. it was 32*c here yesterday and about the same today. It gets about 4* to 6* degrees hotter in the greenhouse and was 35*c in there when I was taking pics today. Over the next 10 days or so it will be much cooler here, so I'll start harvest on Sun. It should take me 6 to 7 days to finish , and those will be long days too. Just stopping for food, smoking and life's small emergences. OK. Keep Growing Straight. Chuck.

👉Alrighty Then👈 84 days in flipped at 28 days we are just now over 8 weeks or flowering so most all strains are between 8 and 9 weeks so ...... 👉We are now at the final week so too speak 👈 there a few that are top heavy and smoothered in resin 👌 had to do some tie ups and downs ..... We in full flush mode , water Only 😳 Persian Pie from Greenhouseseeds Full Gas from Greenhouseseeds Babba Kush from Greenhouseseeds Rainbow Melon from Fastbuds Papaya Sherbet from Fastbuds Weddingcheesecake FF From Fastbuds Purple Oreoz F1 From Seedsman Slurricane From Premium Cultivars Soil by Promix Nutrients by Cronks Well this should be fun 🙃 Thanks to all my growmies out there for stopping by its much appreciated 👈 👉Happy Growing👈

Such a graceful girl... she is developing her flowers with such finesse! I defoliated a little every few days so I didn’t cause any stalls in the growth and shows to have worked! I really feel i am showing I know what I’m doing with feminized plants! It’s a great feeling to actually be so relaxed during too!

💪

The plant is growing very good i dont see any problems. I started with the LST training and cut 1 branch of wich wouldnt get much light.

She’s growing fast. Wasn’t sure the hydro was going to work in this setup but it has really taken off. Not much to say about vegging. Check back next week!

Day 56 - 29/05/2025 I'm considering this water as part of week 9 and did it fit the flush schedule correctly aligned with my required dates. As Mango Cream and Strawberry Cola 1 are going to the last couple weeks, I decided to start the flushing process over them. They already stopped the bulking phase and we concentrate the next weeks on terpenes and flavours development. Mango Cream buds are pretty dense like a rock. The Strawberry Cola has 70% of Mango Cream density. Pretty well too. I bought the Athena Fade to run a complete nutrient line following the Blended program + Fade. Let's see the results. On Strawberry Cola 2, as it's one week late because was one week later to soil, I keep following the feed chart as well. I reduced the NPK nutrients and increased the PK solution for bulking. By my schedules, I'll harvest Mango Cream and Strawberry Cola 1 at June 12th and Strawberry Cola 2 at June 19th. Let's keep progressing! 🌞 ~900ppfd 🌡️~27°C ⏬💧~50% 📏 45cm distância Mango Cream 3,5L RO water with 12ml of Athena PK + 12ml of Athena Fade + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 1.7 PH 6.2 EC Run Off 3.4 Strawberry Cola 1 3,5L RO water with 13ml of Athena PK + 11ml of Athena Fade + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 1.7 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 4.4 Strawberry Cola 2 3,5L RO water with 5+5ml Athena Bloom B+A + 11ml of Athena PK + 4ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 2.0 PH 6.2 EC Run Off 2.9 This week is working in progress and should be updated as soon as possible they growth. Day 59 - 01/06/2025 They are going so well and smelling like crazy. The last couple days my city was impacted by a heat wave and the temperature increased as fuck. I needed to remove the carbon filter to improve the air extraction. They are super frosty and I'm anxious to harvest them. It's planned for 12th June and the late Strawberry Cola for 19th. I was roughly enjoy a hangover when I was watering them and I watered with week nutes schedule. My fault, so bad. But hopefully they will hold until next watering where I should water only with 1/5 of schedule just to not strip the nutrientes from the soil and maintain the flush schedule reducing nutrients. Let's keep progressing! 🌞 ~900ppfd 🌡️~27°C 💧~50% 📏 45cm distância Mango Cream 3,5L RO water with 12ml of Athena PK + 12ml of Athena Fade + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 1.8 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 4.5 Strawberry Cola 1 3,5L RO water with 12ml of Athena PK + 12ml of Athena Fade + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 1.8 PH 6.0 EC Run Off 4.7 Strawberry Cola 2 3,5L RO water with 5+5ml Athena Bloom B+A + 12ml of Athena PK + 5ml of Athena CaMg + 5ml of Athena Cleanse EC 2.1 PH 6.0 EC Run Off - 6.7 (It's weird) I don't know why I got this run off EC, it doesn't make sense due the previous EC Run Off. forgot to clean the tray and I think there was minerals solidified because I got 6.7 on run off. But let's keep following it. This week is working in progress and should be updated as soon as possible they growth. Cheers! 🍁🤞🏽

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 10 🌿 No Complaints. Just Beautiful Progress. Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And honestly... Purple CousKush Pheno A is making this one very easy. No drama. No complaints. No major intervention. No need for me to stand there wondering what the hell she's doing. She's simply... doing her thing. 😂💜 And she's doing it beautifully. The longer this adventure continues, the more interesting it becomes to watch the different personalities emerge. Because although almost every plant in the room is sharing essentially the same environment, they're certainly not moving at exactly the same rhythm. Some are faster. Some are slower. A couple are giving me a little more to think about. But the majority? They're just getting on with it. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is very much part of that group. She's moving. She's developing. She's building some beautiful flowers. And she's doing it without asking me for much attention. Honestly? I love that. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Different Rhythms, Same Stage For anyone joining the diary now, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about watching different genetics and phenotypes develop while giving them the same general opportunity. Same room. Same 12/12 lighting strategy. Same environmental philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same general nutrition. Same lighting ecosystem. Same grower. And yet... the results are different. That's the experiment. The environment gives everybody the stage. The genetics decide how each plant performs on it. And right now, I'm finding it fascinating because the room has reached that point where most of the girls are moving quite quickly. They're no longer asking: "What am I going to become?" They're increasingly showing us: "This is who I am." And Purple CousKush Pheno A is becoming very easy to recognize. 💜 She's Just Getting On With It I think that's probably the simplest way to describe this week. She's not demanding anything special from me. She's not creating problems. She's not requiring another round of major training. She's not asking to be redesigned. She's just continuing forward. And sometimes those are my favourite weeks in a grow. Because there isn't always a problem that needs solving. Sometimes you get to stand there, look at the plant and say: "Yep. That's looking fucking good." 😂💜 Then you take the photographs. You admire the flowers. You check everything. And you let her continue. That's exactly where Purple CousKush is right now. 🌸 Beautiful Bud Formation The flowers are becoming one of the main reasons I keep stopping to look at her. The bud formation is really nice. The flowering sites are becoming more established, the structures are gaining definition, and the individual flowers are beginning to look increasingly substantial. She's moving beyond those early flowering formations now. This is becoming a proper flowering plant. And I really like the architecture she's building. There is a nice relationship between the branches and the flowers. Nothing looks excessively stretched. Nothing feels chaotic. The plant has enough vertical structure to give her presence without becoming one of those enormous plants that takes over half the room. And that's actually something I've noticed throughout this run. I don't really have any true monsters. They're mostly somewhere around that comfortable middle ground. And honestly? I'm loving it. 🌿 The Average-Sized Girls Are Winning Me Over Purple CousKush Pheno A is around 125 cm, which puts her firmly into that middle ground for this run. She's not a dwarf. She's not a giant. She's simply... average-sized. 😂 And apparently that's where my plants decided they wanted to live this time. I don't have many extremely tall plants dominating the tent. Instead, I have a room full of plants with different personalities expressed through their structure, density, flower formation, colour and development rather than simply height. And I really like that. Because when you're running twelve different plants together, it makes the comparison much more interesting. If one plant were three metres tall and everything else was tiny, the difference would be obvious. But when they're all living within somewhat similar physical dimensions... you start paying attention to the details. And Purple CousKush has some very nice details. ✨ Glamorous Girl There's something glamorous about this phenotype. I don't know exactly how else to describe it. She's not necessarily screaming for attention. But when I look at the photographs... she has presence. The flowers are elegant. The structure is balanced. The foliage is beautiful. And there's something about the way the flowering sites sit throughout the plant that makes her look particularly polished. She's one of those plants that doesn't need to be enormous to look impressive. She just... looks good. And sometimes that's enough. 💜🌿✨ 🌿 Those Beautiful Greens The deep green foliage is still one of the characteristics I really appreciate. She's carrying that rich green appearance that I've been enjoying throughout her flowering development. And now, with the flowers becoming more pronounced, the contrast is even more interesting. Deep green leaves surrounding developing flowers. The lighter flowering structures standing out against the foliage. More detail appearing every week. The whole plant is becoming increasingly photogenic. And I have to say... I really like photographing her. There's enough structure to work with. She's not so enormous that I need to fight the plant to get the camera where I want it. And she's not so tiny that everything disappears into one little cluster. She's sitting in that sweet spot. A very cooperative photographic subject. 😂📸 ✂️ No Need to Touch Her And once again... no scissors. 😂 We've already done the necessary work earlier in flower. The canopy has been managed. The plant has been given room where it needed it. And now? I'm leaving her alone. This is something that becomes more obvious as the grow progresses. Early on, there can be a temptation to keep doing things. Train this. Move that. Remove this. Adjust that. But eventually you reach a point where the plant has built the architecture it's going to use. And then your job becomes much simpler. Observe. Maintain. Provide. And let the plant finish. Purple CousKush is very clearly telling me: "I've got this." And I'm happy to believe her. 💡 Still Eating Photons The lighting environment remains consistent with the rest of the 8×8 Adventure. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead illumination, with Lumiflora contributing additional light beneath the canopy. At this point, I'm less interested in telling you what I think the light is doing and more interested in watching what the plants actually show us. And Purple CousKush is showing us a plant that is continuing to build. Leaves are working. Flowers are developing. Structure is holding. The plant is progressing. That's the evidence I care about. Give her the environment. Give her the photons. And then... let her tell us what her genetics decided to do with them. 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming the Main Event This is the really exciting part now. The plant's structure has already been established. Now we're watching the flowers increasingly become the stars. The buds are gaining definition. The flowering sites are becoming more substantial. The pistils remain visible throughout the developing flowers. And the overall structure is beginning to look much more like the finished plant we're eventually going to harvest. Eventually. Not yet. 😂 There's still plenty of time for these flowers to change. And that's exactly what I'm enjoying. Every week now should bring another little transformation. More density. More maturity. More resin. More character. And eventually... the final version of Purple CousKush Pheno A will reveal herself. We're just not there yet. 🔬 Another Great Example of Phenotype Expression This girl is also another nice reminder of why I wanted the 8×8 Adventure to contain so many different plants. Even within the same general environment, each one develops its own personality. Purple CousKush Pheno A is showing us a phenotype that's: Balanced. Medium-sized. Beautifully structured. Deep green. Flower-focused. Easy to manage. And increasingly... glamorous. 😂💜 There are other girls in this room with completely different stories. Some are much smaller. Some are more compact. Some have different flower structures. Some are more unusual. And that's what makes looking across the whole garden so much fun. The environment stays relatively predictable. The plants don't. 💧 Feeding & Environment The current recorded conditions remain: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 125 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h The overall nutrition and irrigation strategy remains consistent. No reason to make dramatic changes. She's progressing. She's flowering. She's healthy-looking. So we keep providing the environment and let her continue doing what she's already doing well. 🌬️ A Comfortable Plant Is a Beautiful Plant There's something I've really come to appreciate during this run. When a plant is comfortable, you can see it. You don't necessarily need a complicated explanation. You look at the foliage. You look at the structure. You look at the flowers. You look at the general posture of the plant. And sometimes everything simply says: "I'm good." That's Purple CousKush right now. She's not fighting. She's not demanding. She's not giving me a reason to interfere. She's just progressing. And when I see that... my job becomes incredibly simple. Keep providing. 📸 This Week's Gallery I think the photographs this week really capture what I'm talking about. The full-plant photographs show her overall architecture. The closer shots reveal the flowers. And when you get even closer... the details start becoming the story. The flowering structures. The pistils. The developing resin. The textures. The way the flowers are sitting within the surrounding foliage. That's one of the reasons I enjoy documenting individual plants instead of simply photographing the entire room. A full-room photograph tells you: "Look at the garden." An individual photograph tells you: "Look at this plant." And Purple CousKush Pheno A deserves that second look. 💜 No Drama Is a Good Story Too I think growers sometimes feel like every diary update needs some huge event. A problem. A discovery. A major intervention. A dramatic change. But honestly? Some of the best updates are: Nothing went wrong. 😂 The plant grew. The flowers developed. The environment remained stable. The plant looked beautiful. And we moved forward another week. That's a successful week. And Purple CousKush gave me exactly that. No complaints. No drama. Just progress. 🔭 Looking Ahead And now I'm curious about the next stage. The flowers are developing beautifully. The structure is looking very good. The plant is holding herself nicely. And the overall appearance is becoming increasingly mature. So now... we wait. I want to see how much more those flowers develop. How much more density they gain. How the resin progresses. How the pistils change. And eventually, what kind of final expression this phenotype decides to give us. Maybe she'll surprise me. Maybe she'll simply continue exactly as she is. Either way... I'm enjoying the journey. And that's the important part. ❤️ Final Thoughts — Let Her Shine Week 10. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is still giving me absolutely nothing to complain about. She's simply moving. And she's moving beautifully. The flowers are developing. The structure is looking great. The foliage remains deep and healthy-looking. She's around 125 cm, which makes her one of those comfortably average-sized girls in a run where I apparently decided that enormous plants weren't invited. 😂 And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. Because I'm discovering that I don't need every plant to be huge. I don't need every plant to stretch into the ceiling. I don't need every phenotype to dominate the room. What I want is exactly what I'm seeing here: a beautiful plant doing what her genetics tell her to do. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is doing that extremely well. She's glamorous. She's balanced. She's flowering beautifully. She's easy to manage. She's not demanding. She's not creating drama. She's just... being Purple CousKush. 💜🌿✨ And that's more than enough. So let's keep doing what we're doing. We provide. We observe. We photograph. We learn. And most importantly... we let her shine. Because sometimes the best plants aren't the ones that make you work the hardest. Sometimes they're the ones that quietly do everything right... and give you the pleasure of simply watching them become beautiful. Purple CousKush Pheno A? That's her. No complaints. No drama. Just beautiful progress. 💜🌸✨ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these beautiful Purple CousKush genetics and for giving us another fascinating phenotype to follow through the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout this journey. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the Black Series lighting driving the garden. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting dimension into the experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following this crazy experiment on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every week you come back and look at these girls with me... it all adds another little piece to the story. And this week, Purple CousKush Pheno A has a wonderfully simple one. She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing. She's looking glamorous. And she's not giving me anything to complain about. 😂💜 So let's leave her exactly where she wants to be. In her own rhythm. In her own space. Doing her own thing. Building those beautiful flowers. And showing us what this particular phenotype decided to become. No drama. No complaints. Just beautiful progress. 💜🌿✨ Until next week... Keep doing your thing, Purple CousKush. I'll be watching. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💜

The buds are actively forming, with more pistils developing each day. You can clearly see them swelling day by day. defoliation along with lollipopping was done to remove excess foliage and open up the bud sites for better light penetration.

Bin von dieser vitalen schönheit mehr als überzeugt. Ihr parfüm last dir instant ein zelt in der hose wachsen😜😅🤷‍♂️ und ihr aussehn ist auch nicht zu verachten. Bin gespannt wo das noch hinführt mit uns beide🙃😅😅 Die besten und vitalsten stecklinge gibts wie immer hier bei ROOTS-FARMS. the best in austria and maybe in europe

Im not a soil guy but im happy this plant got such huge rockhard buds i didnt expect result like this in just soil, i fed her maybe 4 times during flower only.
