Not starting yet! Will place in paper towel on Dec 30th and plant in soil on Jan 1 Good luck everyone!!!🏻💚 Revision— just placed a seed direct to soil today- Dec 30. Should germinate slightly after the 1st! Updated. Sprouted and ready to go!

11/7/23 - Day 1 - OK so big day going on here. It's time to get this little Skunk#1 seed into some lights! (really it's Day 9, but were going to let it sync up to the app) Above are photos of my best attempt at showing how this system works. First thing you want to do is to run the Leaf software and do the startup procedure. Selecting the Start grow button kicks off step by step instructions on the setup process. There is a video of showing the automatic water fill coming from the RO water setup I created. Normally this is setup for hose water from your house. I want to make sure im using RO water for obvious reasons. I will say, when you are done with you grow in this Leaf box make sure you clean it well. Its been a month since i cleaned it and had i not cleaned this it would take you much longer to start your new grow. This is another grow that's starting out smooth! Ill keep you updated as I move along! 11/13/23 - Day 6 - Shes got her 3rd set of leaves just starting to grow. Her roots are not out of the net pot, but i can see them coming out of the rockwool. I would guess another week before the first root hits the water. If you are looking for this growing experience. Visit www.getleaf.co.

Day 44: Starting to see some preflower signs and man guys this girl is stunning.. Everything is growing perfect 👌 😌. Leaves and color are beautiful and she takes feedings like a beast. I'm really impressed so far 👏. It is almost 19 inches tall now and I'm thinking shes got another foot to go lol. Will keep everyone posted and thanks to everyone that checks out and likes my grows please comment with your input as I always like constructive criticism.

Last week she just chilled and did her thing . Chopped her after this week

swelling up nicely. pics out off the tent are from the last day off week 5. day 35 of flower

8. Woche Sie sieht soweit gut aus, ich habe den Feeding Plan für sie ein bisschen angepasst und denke jetzt sollte es ausreichend sein, um Nekrosen zu vermeiden. Die Buds sind trotz des frühen Stadiums schon verdammt Fest in der Struktur zur Ausbildung der Buds. Krass, wie die abgeht 😁 Freue mich schon die später nomma zu machen und dann lass ich sie normal wachsen, mal sehen, wie die sich dann entwickelt 😊

Yeah it’s not anything like I had planned, but like I said last week, there is always next year. I’m just giving her molasses here and there. I don’t know the pH or ppm of the feed water. It’s just molasses and my 8 pH well water. Then back to just plain water if I’m not feeding. There are obviously a lot of soil amendments that I’m leaning on. I suppose the picture of her trunk isn’t that impressive because it lacks a reference of scale. But those are some big roots on the top there.

Plant showing first sign of extra nitrogen, I'm trying to fix it with algae and

Kicked the Critical Kush out to let the Lemon AK have the tent to itself to finish. Tall, strong, some yellow leaves think it might be a ph issue, flushing a bit and continuing to trim and monitor, it's not widespread and the plant is otherwise healthy. Did a little trim and LST on day 48 to help it take up the extra space that is suddenly available.

Girl Scout Cookies Auto was suddenly ready to get chopped - I would've like to see a few more amber trichomes, but the fan leaves started yellowing faster, and more sugar leaves got crispy tips. Also, the smell got pretty strong over the last week or so. It was a very nice grow, and I'm curious on the yield and effect after drying and curing. Yuhbar Auto still needs a little more time, and will enjoy a few more days or weeks under the (artificial) sun, giving the trichomes more time to ripen.

Welcome to week 7 of my White Truffle grow! I switched to flowering 5 days ago, 12/12 light cycle. No signs of pistils yet, shes growing nicely, but no crazy stretching. Since this is my first time growing photos, I'm really excited to see how the week goes :) I need to defoliate a lot, because the humidity is a little too high after watering the plant

💜 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! 🌱💚💜

Plants exploded this week once put into the Scrog. All tops topped once this week to help promote all tops below the main canopy to catch up with the rest.

Transplanted into final 9l airpot and soon to be big ready for producing

Starting to see nitrogen toxicity in the Solomatic, I'm watering with only PH water since 1 week now

Final weeks.. 💪👌

👉Alrighty Then👈 So we are at DAY 42 with the Sugar Larry 👈 And she's doing fantastic 👍 It's now stretching alot 7 inches last week alone 👌 😀 decided to showcase pheno #2 , definitely has different traits then #1 very interesting 😀 thoe both are killing it 👈 Hedgehogs incoming 👈 Except for some slight watering , ive been doing some defolation as well as some LST manipulation to pull branches to the side 👌 👉I had to Top her during the middle of 4th week 👍 she gonna be a tall girl with long legs 😛 👉WeeklyRoundup Video is finally posted 😕 😒 😪 😢 Happy Growing 👉Soil Provided by ProMix.ca 👉Nutrients Provided by Agrogardens 👉Lighting Provided by MarsHydro.ca Thanks my friends for the great support over the years 🙏 Happy Growing

Getting tall. I have light wind blowing on it to strengthen the stem because it will be going outside. I think I'll need to start training it early.

Another week with amazing growth and progress, little bud sites dominating the plant now and thy fingers have begun getting sticky when defolling , a real sweet skunky smell starting to develop. Same same next week .
