💜 Week 5 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno A) Every Plant Has Its Own Rhythm One of my favourite parts of growing from seed is watching each plant develop its own personality. This Purple CousKush has shared the exact same environment, feeding schedule, lighting, and care as the rest of the project since day one. She germinated under the same conditions, transitioned into the same 12/12 flowering schedule from seed, and has been treated exactly the same throughout her journey. Yet, despite identical conditions, she’s chosen her own pace. While several of her roommates rushed head-first into flowering, this young lady has taken a more measured approach, focusing first on building a solid structure before fully committing her energy to bloom. And honestly… I’m perfectly happy to let her tell her story. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development This week she continued her steady transition into flower. Standing at approximately 66 cm, she has developed an elegant, open structure with excellent internodal spacing and strong vertical growth. Rather than producing large clusters of pistils all at once, she is introducing flowers gradually across every branch, giving the impression that she’s carefully preparing her framework before beginning the real work of stacking buds. The LST performed during the previous weeks continues to pay dividends, allowing multiple flowering sites to receive excellent light exposure while maintaining a balanced canopy. Her stems have thickened nicely, the branching remains symmetrical, and every day she seems just a little more confident. Some plants explode. Others simply keep making quiet, consistent progress. This Purple CousKush definitely belongs in the second category. ⸻ 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions Like the rest of the Project Blue Tent, environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week. * 12/12 lighting schedule from seed * Future of Grow Black Series LED delivering approximately 850 PPFD * Mammoth Pro tent with excellent airflow * Day temperature around 31°C * Relative humidity averaging 72% * CO₂ around 639 ppm Even under these warm summer conditions, she has remained healthy, vibrant and stress-free, showing no signs of environmental discomfort. Although she hasn’t advanced into flowering quite as quickly as some of the other phenotypes, her overall health leaves absolutely no reason for concern. She’s simply moving at her own rhythm. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program Unlike several other plants in the room, this Purple CousKush is also being hand-watered and is not connected to the AutoPot system. Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container, she received approximately 0.9 litres of nutrient solution per watering. This week’s feeding consisted of: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L The feeding program continues to provide everything she needs. Her foliage remains a healthy deep green, new growth is vigorous, and the root zone appears to be supporting strong, uninterrupted development. At this stage there is no reason to change something that is clearly working. ⸻ 🌸 Phenotype Notes This phenotype is another wonderful reminder that growing is never about comparing one plant against another. It would be easy to look across the room and notice that several plants have already pushed further into flowering. But that’s not the point. Every seed carries its own expression. Some begin flowering earlier. Some stretch more aggressively. Some invest additional time building structure before stacking flowers. This Purple CousKush seems determined to build patiently before asking for the spotlight, and I have complete confidence in allowing her to follow that path naturally. Growing isn’t a race. Harvest day eventually arrives for everyone. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should be very exciting. Now that flowering has clearly begun, I expect to see the stretch gradually slow while the energy shifts toward developing larger flower clusters across every branch. Her open structure should provide excellent airflow and light penetration as the buds begin to bulk up, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this phenotype expresses the beautiful colours and aromas Purple CousKush is known for later in bloom. Until then, the plan remains wonderfully simple: Stay patient. Stay consistent. Let her do what nature intended. ⸻ 💭 Final Thoughts Not every plant needs to be the fastest to become memorable. This Purple CousKush reminds me that one of the greatest lessons gardening teaches us is patience. We can create the ideal environment, provide balanced nutrition and careful training, but ultimately each plant decides the pace of its own journey. Right now she looks healthy, balanced and full of potential, and that’s more than enough for me. The flowers will come. The stacking will come. The weight will come. For now, I’m simply enjoying watching her become exactly the plant she wants to be. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following along with this adventure.

And the first week of flower is amongst us, I’m not sure if it’s the fast bud genetics, the living soil, or a mixture of both, but I think the videos say it all, the deep green throughout, day 41 and just look😍. Everything’s been sitting nicely 24/7 Humidity 49~56%, temps 23~26c This week they all received there last top feed, along with a slight bit of defoliation, some massive fan leaves! slightly over watered as you will notice in one of the videos, but I won’t be surprised if they’ve grew another few inches over night.

Day 45 power is restored and we are back at it! I moved #2 under the viparspectra lights and lowered her down a bit from it.(she was either too hot or over watered. Either way this should help by dimming the light and encouraging roots to do there thang) I'm kinda embarrassed but I stunted #2 during transplant last week. She is finally starting to grow. I just over watered everybody during transplant. Day 46 nothing new to report. Theh are acclimated to the new pots, finally and are in cruise control. A personal observation, when I grow the rest of these seeds I'm not stopping or training. They're just too beautiful on their own! Day 48: Straight cruise control. I wanted to take so pics to show the pre sleep drop. They're above.😊 #1 is really growing. I expect they will be in flower shoes by week 9 and hope to flip on week 10 Day 49: tried to upload some pictures and videos today but the app wouldn't operate my camera 🤷‍♂️ oh well... I watered #1 today. She is officially in overdrive just growing fast!! (You get measurements tomorrow at the new week!) The good and bad of this week is #2. She definitely stunted during transplant. Probably from over watering during it. So to help promote root growth I topped her 4 main tops. And lowered her 3' from the Optic8+ It worked like a charm too!! All her leave are turning up praying again rather than being water logged and her new tops are bright green and growing! Bingo bango! The Gear: 4x8 Tent 1 Optic8+, 2x Viparspectra 600w LEDs, 3x 50w auto cobs. 1100w true power draw approx.

Harvest Day ;))

Auch ein klein wenig unregelmäßig gestretcht. Aber das netzt bekommt die noch eingefangen, so das die unteren Triebe noch eine Chance zum aufholen haben.

No extra nutrients given in the last week or so, but no flushing as such. Harvested this week, since the smell was discernible from outside the house ;-) Now drying, in a remote shed.

5/07/24 day 15 I was worried with how small she is, I started her a little early for outdoor so she hasn’t been getting proper lighting but she’s not too far behind other plants at this age. Hopefully she’s set her roots deep and is ready to grow upwards 5/11 she’s loves the sun so much. I was worried about her but she’s gonna be fine 🌱 5/12/24 I gave her a tsp of Terp Tea Grow 711. This last week she had grown very well, she has 3 nodes total and is working on more

Hi all , here we are for another fun run with a some of Fast Buds most delicious looking ladies to harvest. With each strain having it's own amazing appearance and buds , i am hoping to spoil them like a rich kid at the seaside with this new FC3000 provided by the generous sponsors at Mars Hydro. Thanks Susie. It is a 300w draw with a full spectrum of gloriousblumens to develop and create some hard , chunky and downright delectable buds. Easy to set up with a removable driver too. Very handy of the heat builds up and we need to reduce it somehow. There is more than enough extension chord(2m) to re hang the driver out of the growing area. It has a dimmer to allow it to offer seed to harvest capabilities all in one unit. No need for separate lights for each stage of the grow. The unit size is more than big enough to cover the 6 plants and the 100L x2 beds that they are going to be grown in. It is nice and light too so no worries about the hangers being stressed. It came with a hanging kit too so nothing to stop you getting it on out of the box. At 100% it really kicks some light out and has even worried the more than capable sp3000 sat next to it. A beautiful piece of kit that will no doubt be a good as it looks too. Having had a few issues with germination over the summer and totally failing seeds , I went back to plugs. They hold the perfect amount of moisture and dont fall apart when lifted either. Again they proved excellent with 100% success of these genetically brilliant seeds . Seeing them poking their heads up on 2 already only only day 3 was a pleasant surprise as i have had these in waiting a while now. No soaking the seed just straight into the cube from the packet.. Now fully germinated with no helmets for the unwary seedling either. ( can occur using cubes for.me!) We are officially in veg I think!. 7th Oct veg started...... I hope you will join me on this run to see what this light unit can do with 6 genetic wonders and 200L of well composted living soil/coco in newly set up No-till beds. I have been trying to use the living organic soil but find that in mid to late flower , I had to supplement to keep the hungry girls green and mean which i feel was due to only 60L of soil to work in effectively. With 3 plants sharing the 100L i am hoping they communicate via the root system and keep each other happy and healthy. I do intend to add some wrigglers and also some myco and a cover crop too. (Inspired by UKPersonal420 ). The ladies are domed and comfortable ar present and I am hoping to remove the domes in a day or 2 but temps here have dropped a fair bit so I will have to be mindful of the delicate girls getting too cold . Plan is to train them into the light with as many mains as I can manipulate using l.s.t , supercropping , topping or maybe a f.i.m or 2. Any comments, advice , observations or just chat for the hell of it are more than welcome . Be safe and well.

LAST 1.5weeks starting next week!! Finally🙌

Day 38: they are going great!i switch to 12 hours light and started Scrog!!! Day 40: they are very happy and keep growing!!!

I'm very happy to say that I had 100% germination rate across the board👏 All my ladies started to come up on April 24th, including an extra! In the few years that I've been growing, I've probably started around 50+ seedlings, but having 2 seedlings come out of 1 seed is new for me. I'm curious to know if anyone else has come across this. Regardless, it's pretty cool and I'm happy. My only concern is how viable the 2nd seedling will be. I feel like I need to wait until she's stronger before I try extricating her from her twin, since she's a few days behind in this very sensitive stage. But at the same time I don't want to wait too long because their root systems will only become more intertwined. We'll just have to see. Once these babies began getting upright on April 25 I put them under 3 Litever 24v grow light strips. On April 27th they were hitting the roof of the humidity dome so I took them off the heat mat and put them in a south facing window for the morning and put them under the lights in the afternoon. The next day on 4/28 it was absolutely gorgeous out, 60F clear and sunny so I put them in the south flower bed in front of my house and they drank in the sun. The 29th was overcast and chilly so they stayed in the house under the lights. Same thing today. No nutes this week, as the potting soil still has a little more to give, but they'll be getting some Nitrogen soon. See y'all next week👋

First week in water.

3ème semaine de floraison bientôt l'apport Méga PK.

Sorry brothers to be so lait this week... had some problems with may Home Assistant raaspberry. Lost a day and half of photos. Weather is Getting better Black Cream Is in senescense. Buds are fattening and getting some color. Shes so Beautiful now. The other are starting to a lot of pistilis out. Flowering in early stage. didnt train them so much let them grow more vertically.

*****DIVINE SEEDS ***** *****FRACTAL***** SPONSORED GROW Week 4 This week 4/28-5/4 Germination April 6. Week 1 water only Week 2 water only Week 3 added recharge and TPS1 increased ppm to 570. Week 4 continues with recharge and TPS1. I added Fox Cal mag increasing ppm to 685 - 805. 5/1 That was a fun feeding week. I got heavy handed with the TPS1 which put the ppm to 1600= so I had to dilute with more water which changed the ph. So I carefully added the smallest amount oh PHdown..then the PH was 5.08 so then added ph up. Oops too high, let’s try again. Ok finally within range with 6.02. Am I the only one?? Hopefully next week I have better control on the nutes. With my AC controller in charge of the humidifier, I must add 3-4 gallons of water a day. (Getting my lifting exercises in regularly). Girls are fed 2 liters of water every other day. Nutrients: TPS1 7ml per gal Recharge 5 ml/gal Fox Cal-mag 5 ml/gal Took pics /51 and 5/3 which show the vigorous leaf growth after only 2 days following defoliation and training. Divine Seeds recommends keeping its Fractal profile wider and flatter. To achieve this, I am aggressively pinning down each branch coming off the main stalk while defoliating regularly to keep the top open. Today 5/4, she is only 9inches tall but has a beautiful, mounded canopy showing multiple bud sites. With my upcoming vacation, I am going to be hardening off these ladies to relocate to their outside location. Until the plants are big enough to go outside, I will be using my AC Infinity tent and equipment. Once outside, I will be watering with well water and recharge and any additional fertilizers or amendments will be determined at that time. Thank you @DivineSeeds Thanks for the likes and comments, I appreciate all the plant love💚. Have fun & love what you grow 💚 Sending love and light 💫 💫Natrona 💫***FRACTAL*** Rating: Fractal is an especially psychedelic strain that Divine Seeds developed for esoteric and mystical experiences, meditation and creativity. A potent and vivid landrace variety from Southern India was crossed with a sticky leaning Indica (mostly Afghani), then Skunk #1 joined this company. Their progeny underwent multiple selection experiments, until its massive built, resin concentration and hypnotizing powers reached an ultimate level. The result is now known as Fractal – resinous, spicy and productive. Best choice for commercial growing: a compromise between bigger yields and fast ripening! A great source of hashish that has something incense-like to its musky smell. Indoors expect 170 сm height, out of doors plants grow up to 200 сm. Fractal fits for all types of growing environment: grow boxes, hydroponic or aeroponic setups, outdoor plantations, balconies, terraces and green houses. For more weight it is recommended to train Fractal plants to broaden their structure and limit their vertical growth. For that purpose use ScroG or SoG, LST, FIM or topping, supercropping or mainlining – there are no limitations for the strain itself, but certainly low-stress methods are recommended to smaller samples. Fractal has an inherent immunity to molds and insect pests, but since its colas are thick, protect your plants from stale air. Also during rainy weeks your plantation may need to be covered. Ready for outdoor harvesting in October. Big and dense buds the color of olive, hunter green heavily coated with crystals. Whole Fractal buds smell hashy and earthy, while cedar and fruity hints are noticeable on breaking. Measure your portion carefully: the potency is above average! With Fractal you experience an overall stoning that either keeps you put or slows your motion down, also vertigo is possible. However, in moderate dosage the impact is described as a pleasant sensation of well-being and placidity. Perfect for spending a night by a bonfire without talking, therefore is more often enjoyed as a solo smoke. Efficiently relieves muscle spasms and seizures, inflammations, combats insomnia and increases your appetite. Up to 3 hours of altered state of mind can be expected. Best consumed at night time.

May 31st Everything is looking good after the LST from last week, I said I was going to swap them into flower and I realized that I should wait another week or so as they will be going into a new home so to speak. Updates coming next week for that. Doesn't look like to many PH issues anymore or whatever was happening but the plants seem a bit happier now June 1st I Figured today would be a good day to do a bit of defoliation on these girls in order to get some more light down to the newer growth. I didn't take a ton off as you can see, but for the size of the plant I suppose it was a decent amount. I read somewhere that a general rule of thumb is only defoliate roughly 30% of the plant at most. I'm not to sure if it is true but I tried to stay within that general rule. June 2nd, I decided since I would have them in veg for at least a little while long I would top them again. After topping I gave them some water and nutrients. I know I said I would do straight water for the next one but I went for it anyways as it seems the flowering mixture may be giving it some deficiency's. So I gave them the recommended feeding for heavy veg growth. I gave about 3L to the bigger plant and around 2L to the smaller plant (as it was still a bit moist but it wasn't damp). My crappy soil tester was saying my soil was at around 8PH so I figured I would aim to feed around 6ph. With the small amount of runoff from the smaller plant I did A PH test and the PH seemed to be around the 4.5-5ph area. My liquid ph meter arrived broken so I am waiting for the new one, therefore I am using the general hydroponics liquid test kit. I presume my soil ph is lower then the water I have given seeing as it went from 6ph water to around 4.5. Next feeding I will aim to feed at 7PH. With the defoliation I just made sure that the tie downs were decently tight still and moved what I thought needed to be moved. June 3rd,4th Not a ton to update on. I didn't get any pictures for these 2 days. June 5th Some obvious problems going on with the bigger plant. I am guessing it is the PH issue but I am still unsure. The one browned leaf I accidentally squished in the tie down while I was low stress training it so it got a bit damaged. Other then that the plants are growing decent. Im not sure why I didn't have more pictures for today but I mainly took problems of the problem areas. June 6th Not much going on still. They are still just hanging out not doing to much. It was a busy work week so pictures in general were a bit lazy. I will try to get more for the upcoming weeks. Big news for next week!
