A great week for my Northern Lights she seemed to slow down on growth a bit the first couple weeks of flowering. This was actually the scrappy looking one that I didn’t think would turn out so pretty,,,, but she looks beautiful today ✌️🌱✌️

Overall a good week. I think the aphid army kicked in - noticeably less flea things floating around. Have to get the diaries organized better 😂. Green leopard tent should be here so next week expect to have that up - easy to follow one seed bank in each tent

Super busy with a move and a big garden reno. Sorry, this is the only update for this week

This week went well. The Jelly Rancher plant was getting big enough to move to a bigger pot (1 gallon fabric pot). It may have been able to stay in the Jiffy Pot a little longer but figured I'd get it done with a few others I was transplanting. The roots looked great, the plant seemed nice and strong.

Se aplico una apical y se afirmaron los brazos para que se vaya abriendo :3

Sept 5th Just Wow, Hoping she makes it through the thunderstorms thats to come. Did a little pruning to max airflow and try prevent mould

🚀🎆 Milky Way of inflorescences

Very pleased with the constant growth from these strains. They've really taken off after their first feeding. I think the tap roots have also finally hit the bottom 1/3 of Roots Organics Lush soil. I'll probably let the LUSH feed most of the vegetative nutrients and start amending flower nutrients in next week or the week after depending.

🌿 LSD — Week 9 from Seed (Week 6 Flower) 12/12 from Seed | Photoperiod Genetics behaving differently ⸻ Quick Recap — Understanding the Structure These are photoperiod plants, but grown 12/12 from seed, which changes everything. From the very beginning, they grew under the signal of: “The season is ending.” Because of that, instead of building long vegetative structures, they: • prioritized vertical growth early • reduced lateral expansion • focused on reproductive sites sooner 👉 What we’re seeing now is the result of that decision: • a dominant central cola (main “collar”) • symmetrical but limited side branching • a very uniform structure across all three plants And honestly… they look like magicians because they adapted perfectly to the rules they were given. ⸻ 🌸 Current State — Week 6 Flower • Bud formation: clearly established, stacking nicely • Early frost: already visible → great sign for terpene/resin development • Structure: clean, upright, central dominance • Stem strength: very solid — supporting weight without stress • Defoliation: light work done to improve airflow and light penetration There’s also something interesting: 👉 These plants show a strong tendency to throw roots from stems/branches That’s a sign of vigorous internal energy and high adaptability ⸻ 🌱 Environment & Philosophy • Room: 28°C / 68% RH • Outside: ~10°C / 87% RH Given the external conditions, stability inside the room is actually very solid. And this is important: We don’t chase numbers. We observe them. • Focus is on plant response, not just meters • We aim for leaf VPD, not just room VPD • Right now → conditions are within a healthy working range ⸻ Feeding No changes this week. The current feeding schedule is: • stable • well-tolerated • supporting healthy development 👉 When something is working, we don’t interfere. ⸻ 🎭 New Team Member This week we officially welcome: Mr. Baggy 👜 He’s here, he’s learning, and he’s already part of the process. (Photos included in this update) ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect (Next Weeks) • Bud swelling phase continues • Resin production increases significantly • Aroma profile begins to fully express • Minimal structural changes from here on Because of the 12/12-from-seed structure, don’t expect: • massive lateral expansion • large canopy reshaping 👉 This run is about refinement, not expansion ⸻ ⚠️ What Not to Expect • No explosive stretch (that phase is done) • No heavy training interventions • No drastic feeding changes unless needed We stay consistent. We observe. We adjust only if the plant asks. ⸻ About the Genetics (Why they behave like this) These LSD genetics are showing: • strong apical dominance • efficient energy allocation to the main cola • early transition to reproductive mode under 12/12 👉 In a normal veg cycle, these plants would likely: • branch more • widen their structure • delay flower development But here, they adapted to a compressed timeline — and it shows beautifully. ⸻ 🙏 A Note to the Community To: • longtime followers • new visitors • curious growers • supporters, skeptics, lovers, haters Everyone has a place here. Big thanks to: • the GrowDiaries platform • the breeders behind the genetics • the sponsors supporting the journey • and the entire growing community ⸻ 🌿 Closing Things are moving fast now. From here on, it’s about: • observation • patience • and letting the plant finish its story And honestly… they’re doing it beautifully. 📡 DELETED @ 1K Please stay tuned.we never quit https://www.youtube.com/@DOGDOGTHEDOCTOR NEW 🙏 Thank you for your patience and continued support.

With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚 📸 P.S. – The Eye Behind the Lens All photos in this diary (for now — except for the ones showing the camera, which I took with an iPhone) are taken with a Sony A6700 paired with a Sony full-frame macro lens and a few more. Photography is part of the story — it’s how we share the fine textures, the glow, and the quiet details that words can’t always capture. I’ve also started experimenting with photo stacking — a technique where multiple images, each taken at a slightly different focus point, are layered together to create one perfectly sharp image from front to back. It’s not digital enhancement or AI; it’s pure photography — a way to reveal the plant’s beauty in microscopic depth, from trichome to petal. You’ll even see a few shots of "ghost me" capturing the shots — camera, lens, setup — because every grow deserves not just to be cultivated, but documented like art.

July 20: smoke arrived this morning to go with our heat wave. Awesome. Extra watering, misting air, and wetting the sides of the grow bags with hose water to keep things cooler and hydrated. So far so good in the heat. Did foliar spray of Extreme Blend and potassium silicate. Also note that for all my grows I use apple cider vinegar for pH adjustment and a Dr Bronners liquid soap as a wetting agent (surfactant). Euphoria is doing great, but to ensure that it finishes early enough for this latitude (53N) where the UV light gets very weak after mid-August, I’m starting the force flowering tonight. Already starting to flower but I want a strong flower set and as much flower growth under strong sunlight as possible. Force flowering schedule is 2-3 weeks of in dark garage at 9 pm followed by 730 nm far red light and then back out at 7 am. The light initiates dark mode 2 h faster so it’s like having a 26 h day. Good trick use as a bloom booster, also moves up the finish 2-4 weeks. So, 10+2 is 12 h dark and 14 h daylight. Might sound bogus but it works. July 21: first night of force flowering caused a big stretch. Notably stretched after darkness in hot garage overnight. Hot outside overnight too but was much hotter inside garage and recorded here as 24 C. Seems okay and high overnight temperature might be ideal at this early flowering stage. Warm overnight temperatures continue for a few more days. July 22: record hot overnight low forecast for tonight of 24 C and feels like 27 C with humidity. Wow, that is really incredible for here and 13 C above historic average. July 26: six days into flowering and she is doing fine. 👍👍

First week not to exciting, but girls are growing up nicely. Day 7 to 14 have seen significant growth and I am expecting some rapid growth in the next few weeks. Haven't done any feedings yet but will start Fox Farm big bloom sround day 21. Now the fun really begins...

Day 43 of life. Flower 8. Last 4 days a lot of stretching. 14.12.... A lot of life in her... , 16.10.10 TEN TTEENN SIDEBRANCHES!!!!!!! I did nothing. 10 plus main with 2 sides in the main.. 😛 💪 27.12. Day57 22 of flower. 2 weeks re gone. She stopped stretching. Buds on the way.

Day 72: 600W LED, 18 hours on 6 hours off the same with ventilation. Ferilization is the same except BlackBerry Kush and LSD-25 they are being flushed. Water intake also remains the same 200ml per day. Humidity approx 35 percent. Day 74: BlackBerry Kush and LSD-25 have to be harvested this week Friday so no more water. Colorado Cookies and Northern Light next week so started flushing them. Glueberry OG needs a bit more time.

Week 1 24 hours ethos popped and began to stretch Temp 76 humidity domes on top 5 of 5 out going directly into pots and 24 hour lighting on day 3! gonna run 24/7 for 30 then switch over hopefully. Nothing added but FishShit and rootdrench to pop

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 11 ✨ Still a Glamorous Girl — Frosty, Fading & Possibly Entering Her Final Chapter Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And honestly... there isn't a huge amount to say this week. And I mean that as a compliment. 😂💜 Purple CousKush Pheno A is still doing exactly what she has been doing so beautifully: Growing. Flowering. Frosting. And looking absolutely fucking gorgeous. She's still a glamorous plant. Actually... the frost levels on this girl are getting a little ridiculous. ❄️💜✨ At this stage of the adventure, most of the plants are essentially in auto mode. They're doing their thing. They're following their own rhythm. They're developing their flowers. And we're not trying to constantly interfere with that process. There's no major training. No major reshaping. No unnecessary intervention. We observe. We maintain. We provide. And we let the plants finish their stories. And Purple CousKush? She may be starting to tell us that her story is getting close to the final chapters. 🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — When the Plants Start Writing the Ending For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The concept is simple: Twelve different plants. One room. Essentially the same environment. Same general lighting strategy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional program. Same grower. But different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different expressions. Different rhythms. And now we're reaching one of the most interesting parts of the experiment. The plants are starting to show us not only who they are... but how they want to finish. Some are still pushing hard. Some are still developing. Some are moving faster. Some are moving slower. And some are starting to say: "Okay... I think I'm getting ready to leave." 😂 Purple CousKush Pheno A appears to be one of those girls. ──────────────────────── 💜 The Glamour Girl Is Still Shining Last week I called her glamorous. This week? The title still fits perfectly. She's beautiful. She's balanced. She's elegant. And she's absolutely covered in frost. ❄️❄️❄️ Honestly... the resin production on this girl is becoming one of the first things I notice when I look at her. You don't have to search for it. You don't have to wonder whether she's getting frosty. She's basically announcing it. 😂💜 The flowers have that sparkling appearance that makes you want to get closer and closer with the camera. And the closer you get... the crazier it becomes. Trichomes everywhere. Resin-covered surfaces. Beautiful flowering structures. Tiny details catching the light. This is one seriously frosty girl. And I absolutely love it. ──────────────────────── ❄️ Frost Levels: Completely Ridiculous Let's just give this its own section. Because... wow. 😂❄️💜 The frost on Purple CousKush Pheno A is absolutely out of this world. She's reaching that stage where the flowers almost stop looking like they're simply covered in resin... and start looking like the resin is part of the flower itself. Every angle seems to reveal another layer. And this is exactly why I love having the camera around during this stage. The naked eye sees a beautiful flowering plant. The macro lens says: "Hold my beer." 😂📸❄️ Suddenly you see an entire world of tiny structures. Trichomes. Resin. Pistils. Calyxes. Sugar leaves. Texture. Light reflecting off everything. And Purple CousKush is giving us plenty to photograph. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Looking More Mature The flowers themselves are continuing to develop nicely. They're established now. We're well beyond the stage of wondering what the plant is going to look like. She's showing us. And she's showing us beautifully. The structures are substantial. The flower sites are well defined. The resin is heavy. And there's a clear sense that the plant is moving toward maturity. This is one of those stages where the changes from week to week can become more subtle. We're not necessarily looking for dramatic new growth anymore. We're watching for refinement. Maturation. Density. Resin. Colour. And those little signs that tell us the plant is moving toward the end of her journey. And this girl has started giving us one of those signs. ──────────────────────── 🍂 She's Starting to Fade This is probably the biggest change I'm seeing this week. Purple CousKush Pheno A has started fading. And honestly? I was expecting it sooner or later. She's beginning to show those visual signs that she's moving into a later stage of flower. And that's what makes me think she may be approaching her final run. Not necessarily tomorrow. Not necessarily next week. I'm not putting a date on it. But she's definitely giving me the impression that she's beginning to wind things down. She's basically saying: "I've done a lot of work here. I might be getting ready to clock out." 😂💜 And I'm listening. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The Final Stage Is Starting to Show One of the things I enjoy about growing is that plants don't always need to tell you exactly what's happening. Sometimes they simply show you. The overall appearance changes. The foliage begins to fade. The flowers look increasingly mature. The plant's energy seems to shift. And eventually you start seeing a very different version of the plant compared with the one you met earlier in the run. That's what I'm beginning to see here. Purple CousKush isn't looking unhealthy. She's looking like a flowering plant approaching the later part of her journey. There's a difference. And it's an important one. So for now... we observe. We don't panic. We don't start making unnecessary changes just because the leaves are changing colour. We simply acknowledge what the plant is showing us. And this girl is showing us: "Final chapter may be coming." 💜🌸 ──────────────────────── 💧 Nutrition — We May Be Getting Close The room is still following the same nutritional strategy. The current program remains: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution strength: ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm But... because Purple CousKush is already showing signs of entering this later stage, I'm starting to think about the next step. I may begin reducing the nutritional intensity next week. Possibly for her. Possibly across the room, depending on how the other girls are progressing. I'm not making that decision yet. And that's intentional. We're watching the plants first. Then we'll decide. That's one of the nice things about having twelve individual diaries. Each phenotype can tell us something slightly different. And Purple CousKush is definitely starting to tell us something. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Under the Same Sun The lighting environment remains the same. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main overhead lighting, with the additional fixtures now part of the upgraded lighting setup. We've already adjusted the output to approximately 59% from the plug after adding the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures. We're working around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And Purple CousKush continues making absolutely beautiful use of those photons. She's not suddenly changing her architecture. She's not trying to stretch. She's simply continuing to finish what she started. And under that lighting... the frost is looking spectacular. ❄️💜✨ A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying the additional fixtures for us to test during this adventure. Having the additional lighting capacity has been a really interesting part of this experiment. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Same Room. Same Conditions. Different Ending Signals. This is another part of the 8×8 Adventure that I find fascinating. The room is the same. The general environment is the same. The lighting is the same. The nutrition is the same. The irrigation philosophy is the same. And yet... the plants don't necessarily reach the same stage at the same time. Purple CousKush is showing us signs that she's beginning to wind down. Another plant might still be charging ahead. Another might be somewhere comfortably in between. And that's exactly what we wanted to see. The environment gives them the opportunity. The genetics and individual plants tell us how they use it. Purple CousKush Pheno A is apparently saying: "I've got my flowers. I've got my frost. I've had my fun. Maybe it's almost time." 😂💜 ──────────────────────── ✂️ And Still... Nothing Major to Do At this point, there really isn't much for me to do physically. And that's okay. The structure is established. The flowers are formed. The plant is progressing. The fading has begun. So we're not going to start inventing work. No unnecessary defoliation. No dramatic reshaping. No last-minute gymnastics. 😂 She's doing what she needs to do. Our job now is mostly observation and maintaining consistency. Sometimes the best grow diary update is: "I didn't touch her. She looked amazing. Next." 😂💜 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 Conditions The overall room conditions remain consistent with the latest 8×8 setup: 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup 💡 Approx. power after adjustment: ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same lighting evolution. Same nutritional evolution. And a plant beginning to show her own timing. ──────────────────────── 🔬 This Is Why Individual Diaries Matter If you only looked at the entire room, you might simply say: "Week 11. They're flowering." But when you follow each phenotype individually... you see much more. Purple CousKush Pheno A is telling a different story. She's a glamorous, medium-sized plant. Beautifully structured. Extremely frosty. And now beginning to fade. That's information. That's part of the experiment. And that's why I love documenting these girls individually. Because the room gives us the broad picture... but each plant gives us the details. And Purple CousKush has some very beautiful details. ──────────────────────── 📸 This Girl Was Made for Macro Honestly... the frost alone makes her worth putting in front of the camera. 😂📸❄️ The full-plant photographs show the architecture. The closer shots show the flowers. And the macro photographs? That's where she really starts showing off. The resin. The trichomes. The textures. The little details that you simply cannot appreciate from across the room. Purple CousKush Pheno A is one of those plants where the camera keeps making me stop and look. And every time I zoom in... there's another layer. Another sparkling surface. Another beautiful little structure. Another reminder of just how incredible flowering plants can be. ──────────────────────── 💜 A Glamorous Girl Approaching Her Goodbye There's something slightly bittersweet about this stage. Because when you start noticing a plant entering her final stretch... you realize the journey you've been following for weeks is eventually going to end. We've watched her grow. We've watched her develop. We've watched the flowers appear. We've watched the frost build. We've watched her become what she is now. And now... we may be approaching the final chapter. But we're not rushing it. Absolutely not. We'll let her tell us when she's ready. For now, she's still shining. Still beautiful. Still absolutely covered in frost. And still giving us plenty to enjoy. 💜❄️✨ ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead So what happens next? Honestly... we'll see. 😂 I'm keeping an eye on the fading. I'm watching the flowers. I'm watching the overall maturity. And I'm considering whether next week will be the moment to begin reducing the nutritional input for her, or whether the room as a whole will be ready for that transition. No rush. No forced schedule. No arbitrary finish line. The plants will tell us. And Purple CousKush is already starting to speak. She's saying: "I'm getting close." So we'll listen. ──────────────────────── ✨ Final Thoughts — Let This Glamorous Girl Shine Week 11. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is still absolutely beautiful. Honestly... she doesn't need a complicated report this week. She's a glamour of a plant. 💜✨ She's frosty beyond reason. She's beautifully structured. She's progressing. She's beginning to fade. And she's potentially entering the final stage of her journey. That's really the story. The room is in auto mode. The plants are doing their thing. We're not forcing anything. We're not constantly touching them. We're simply watching them mature. And this girl? She's starting to show us that she may be getting ready for her final chapter. Maybe next week we'll see more. Maybe the fading will progress. Maybe she'll tell us even more clearly that she's ready. We'll see. But for now... I'm just enjoying her. Looking at her flowers. Looking at that ridiculous frost. Taking photographs. And thinking: "Damn... you're beautiful." 😂💜❄️ That's Purple CousKush Pheno A. No drama. No complaints. Just a glamorous girl doing exactly what she wants to do. And now... possibly getting ready to say goodbye. But not quite yet. There's still a little more story to write. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate this beautiful phenotype for exactly what she is. Frosty. Elegant. Beautiful. And possibly entering the final stretch. 💜🌸❄️✨ Keep shining, Purple CousKush. You've earned every bit of that spotlight. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document this 8×8 Adventure and follow these individual phenotypes through every stage of their journey. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple CousKush genetics behind this beautiful girl. 💜🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and for supplying the additional fixtures we're now testing in the room. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week. It all becomes part of the story. And Purple CousKush Pheno A has given us a beautiful one. From her early development... to her balanced structure... to her glamorous flowering... to this absolutely ridiculous frost... and now, perhaps, the beginning of her final chapter. She's still shining. She's still beautiful. And she's still very much worth watching. 💜❄️🌸✨ So let's give this glamorous girl the spotlight she deserves. Let's see what she has left to show us. And let's enjoy every last bit of it. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💜
