Had a bit of a cat-tastrophy this week. I left my tent open to go and fill a bucket of water, came back and zipped it up. What I didn't know is that the cat got in. Not 5 minutes later I can hear all sorts of shit moving around so I came in to find I had zipped him and and he went bonkers and bent almost every branch on the Skunk. So I had to do emergency tie jobs, but I ended up losing 2 medium colas and 1 small one. Could have been much worse if the skrog net wasn't there to stop them from snapping. Injuries look like bent plastic straws, so I'm going to be watching her closely to see if she herms from that massive amount of stress. Some of the pics have cat hair in them, thank the little brat. Anyway, Skunk is a 45-50 day finisher so I'm going another week and then she gets the chop. Lots of microscope videos today and finally found an amoeba. Also something moving in an egg...what is it? That's at 400x so I think it's a nematode egg based on what I found online. If you look closely at the super zoomed in trichome shot, you can see the reflections of other trichomes...just fucking epic.👏 All the food stops now, too much in the soil for her to start senescence. Nothing but water and FFJ now. New pistils are still coming in so who knows, maybe she'll keep going a few more weeks.

This girl was transplanted into a 5 gallon…so far she is stable and loving it.

The seeds are really starting to swell up nice. These ladies are bearing alot of seed from the natural style of pollination i used. Decided to use a small paint brush and some of my collected pollen. Dusted the un seeded flowers and got these ladies seeded to the max. In a couple days I will give them a good water shower to wash away some of the excess pollen spillage. I'm going to let these beans get nice and mature. Viability won't be a question lol. After I collect/harvest my seeds I'm pondering what to do with the plant material. They are throwing off a solid amount of resin to protect their offspring. There will be plenty of it to work with. Decisions ...Decisions . Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

It was my first grow so I know my next crack at this strain would be much better. I didn't have too many issues or any crazy setbacks. It was smooth sailing for a while and then had some nute/deficiency issues but it was later in flower. I did move them into a bigger tent with a far better light but not until the last 3 weeks of flower. So I know I'll have to grow this again in the future and compare!

There's a slight smell of a cheese bud. Only got about 0.6 ounce bud can improve on that with better LST. I have a lack of pictures because it has been smoked. 😃

All is going well here in this tent with the plants really putting on some weight and a change in the smell its so much more gassy now over the fruity Strawberry smell mixed with grapes. Either way im not too fussed they really do look good for day 42 of flower. They claim 9-10weeks flower so we will see 😂 Also added another scrog layer like I did in the 3x3 tent. The buds are already leaning some so this will help in the next 3-4weeks 😅 I also ordered another Mammoth light but this one is 720w of their incredible Nova sun series. It is overkill for this 4x2 tent but I'll be using it on a lower power and with out the canopy lights until I can get my bigger tent setup. Its time to get rid of the Spiderfarmer g4500. They are fairly decent lights but only really deliver high ppfd to a smaller area than their ppfd maps say. Just waiting for these girls to be done then I can move into a bigger tent👌

Die Lemonberry Haze kommt zu 100% nochmal also ich wurde garnicht enttäuscht von meiner Hoffnung wie sie sich entwickelt ist einfach krass die buds sind richtig dick und voll mit Zucker sehr schön zum angucken

Days 78-84 - Been lax in updates, but I still log every week to completion. Back injury in addition to The Nineteen, Rona Style, has been a bit of a pain in the posterior. (That means ass) Plants are gigantic and sassy. Had Dangergirl come out and defoliate/lollipop the bottoms out of the girls, saving me painful labor and increasing my yields, so yay for her! Plants are happy, pompoms are getting thick, and everything looks good. Switched FF01 to flower on day 84.

Just a couple days to finish.. will update with dry bud pics and weights then. Stay tuned!

The flowers grew a little smaller than expected due to my radiator breaking down. The temperature rose to 20°C max during the day and 13°C at night. Obviously this slowed down growth. Fortunately I had a plan B, but I was only able to put it in place once I returned from vacation :/ On the other hand, I actually noticed that as soon as they found the ideal temperature, the fattening resumed as if nothing had happened. This variety is definitely very resistant, it's amazing... Thank you Royal Queen Seeds!!! There you go, this is the home stretch. We are entering week 8 and I have done my last watering with nutrient. From now on, I will water them exclusively with clear water, controlling only the chlorine and Ph. The countdown is on. This is truly the last phase of maturation. Harvesting can now occur anytime between now and 10 days from now! Chuss guys, we'll talk again next week!

She’s slowed down her stretching now and started to form her buds, you can tell there’s going to be some amazing colours coming from them as the pistols have some changing orange early (usually in my experience I’ve seen this in purple pink tones in cannibus plants) so be exciting to see how she progresses it will be a pretty garden with all these fastbuds 🙏🤩

welcome to one of the last episodes of the BIG Cheese twins chronicles! ...I cannot believe it either, but when i checked her trichomes this morning, with my microscope.. she is as good as done!!(the FAT, smaller one at least) So beautiful trichomes she has too.. a lot of them looked like lil' chuncks of cheese! (deep yellow, with spots on them 😁) But a lot of old cheese too (orange, brown) so think gonna chop her end of this week!(be4 it starts raining again..😎) Its finally sunny weather so gonna let her enjoy the sunshine some more 😎 dont think her sister is ready yet (the tall skinny one) but she will get there soon enough! She is covered with trichomes.. my camera had a hard time focussing in the buds so sprakly!!😻 So the next episode of the cheese twins chronicles will be a harvest!! Get your popcorn ready😁👊 happy growing for all✊

It’s been plenty of work for me this week,,with final LST moves made,,which is always tricky trying to space evenly,, plenty of lumens making their way to the right spots now after a good defoliation session,,and this girl has no excuses,,,,!!! backed off the bloom food a little aswell due to some unwanted discolouration ,,but gave her a good flush with some fresh water and great kelp tonic i got my hands on,,,Day 60 now 👍😎

After 1 week of flush the plant start to fade gently, i hope that gonna be good before harvest. I think my additives tend to keep my plant green, both contain seaweed extract and are slow release. There is a little bit of nice fox tailing.

All looking nice 👍 the one in the black pot we now call A 😆 is coming in nice and strong since being moved up a bit closer to the light B & C are going great guns to

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 9 🌿 Elegant, Green & Right On Point Some plants make you work for the compliments. Others simply stand there and make you smile. Purple CousKush Pheno B is definitely becoming one of those plants. Week after week, she has maintained the same quiet elegance that made me like her from the beginning. She isn't trying to dominate the room. She isn't trying to become the tallest. She isn't demanding constant intervention. She's simply growing. And growing beautifully. This week, I'm looking at her and seeing something I really love: consistency. The plant is healthy. The structure is beautiful. The foliage is incredibly lush and deep green. The flowers are developing exactly where I want them to be. And those little developing buds are starting to take on that beautiful golf-ball-like formation, with the flowers becoming increasingly defined along the branches. She is simply... on point. Exactly where she should be. And honestly? She's a delight to grow. 🌸 Week 6 Flower – Right Where She Needs To Be Purple CousKush Pheno B remains around 96 cm, keeping her firmly in the more compact category of the 8×8 Adventure. But by now, I've stopped looking at her height as a limitation. It's simply part of who she is. She's built a compact, balanced architecture and she's using it extremely well. The branches are carrying developing flowers. The bud sites are becoming more pronounced. The structure is filling in. And the entire plant has that beautiful feeling of a flowering plant moving confidently through her cycle. There is no rush. No drama. No obvious need for correction. She's just progressing. And at this point in flowering, that's exactly what I want to see. 💚 That Green... Let's talk about the colour. Because honestly... look at her. That deep, lush green is one of the first things that catches my eye every time I look at this plant. The foliage has that rich, healthy appearance that makes the flowers stand out beautifully against it. And I'm starting to think there's something bigger happening here. Across this 8×8 Adventure, I'm seeing remarkably lush foliage on a lot of these girls. And while genetics obviously play an enormous role — enormous — I'm increasingly convinced that the quality and consistency of the nutrition program are also contributing to what we're seeing. Good genetics give you the potential. Good nutrition helps the plant express that potential. And when the two come together under a stable environment... That's when things get interesting. So this week, I definitely want to give Plagron some extra love. Because I'm genuinely impressed by the overall health and colour we're seeing throughout this run. But let's be very clear: It starts with genetics. Without good genetics, there is only so much a grower can do. You can have the best environment. The best lights. The best nutrition. The best equipment. But you still need a plant with something worth expressing. And these Purple CousKush girls are giving us exactly that. Genetics first. Then cultivation. Then environment. And when those pieces come together... you get plants like this. 🌸 The Buds Are Starting To Look Like Little Golf Balls This is probably my favourite visual change this week. The individual flowering sites are becoming increasingly rounded and substantial. Those little clusters are beginning to look almost like small golf balls forming along the branches. Not finished flowers. Not mature colas yet. But clearly developing structures that are gaining shape and volume. And surrounded by those beautiful white pistils? Absolutely gorgeous. The contrast between the deep green leaves, the developing green flower structures and those bright white hairs is something I could photograph all day. Every week, the flowers become a little more defined. A little more substantial. A little more recognizable. And that's when you start realizing just how quickly flowering is moving. She's building. Quietly... but she's building. ? Those White Hairs The pistils remain beautifully prominent across the flowers. Bright. Fresh. White. And reaching outward from the developing calyxes. They're one of those visual indicators that make the progression of flowering so easy to appreciate when you're documenting the same plant week after week. You look at a photograph from several weeks ago. Then you look at her now. And suddenly you see it. The flowers have changed. The structure has changed. The plant has matured. She's no longer simply starting to flower. She's becoming a flowering plant. And we're getting closer and closer to seeing what this phenotype ultimately wants to become. 🌿 No Need To Touch What Isn't Broken One thing I particularly appreciate about this phenotype is how little she asks from me. The canopy doesn't look like it needs another major intervention. The structure is open enough. The flowers have space. The foliage is healthy. Air can move through the plant. Light can reach the important areas. So I'm not going to manufacture work. There's a temptation in cultivation to always be doing something. Cut this. Move that. Remove another leaf. Adjust something. Change something. But sometimes... the plant is telling you to leave her alone. And I'm listening. She's doing beautifully. So she gets to keep doing beautifully. 💡 Light, Structure & Flower Development The lighting strategy remains consistent, with the Future of Grow Black Series providing the primary overhead light and the Lumiflora system adding light beneath the canopy. The interesting part now isn't whether the plant has light. She does. The interesting part is how she's using the environment we've created. Her compact structure gives her a naturally efficient architecture. The flowering sites are distributed through the plant rather than being buried inside an excessively dense mass. And with the canopy management we've already done earlier in the run, we're now in the phase where I want to let the plant use the space we've created. We're not chasing perfection. We're not trying to expose every flower. We're simply giving her a good environment and allowing her genetics to do the rest. And she's doing exactly that. 💜 Same Genetics. Different Personality. Her sister continues to be one of the great examples of why phenotypes are so fascinating. Same strain. Different expression. Different architecture. Different personality. And that's exactly why I love growing multiple phenotypes side by side. You can read the breeder's description. You can read the genetics. You can read what other growers experienced. But eventually... you have to grow the plant yourself. And then she tells you the truth. Purple CousKush Pheno B has told me that she likes being compact. She likes building a balanced structure. She likes staying relatively low. And apparently... she really likes making beautiful little flower clusters. 😂💜 I'm perfectly happy with that. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure Is Showing Its Personality This is one of my favourite aspects of this entire project. Twelve different genetic expressions. One room. One general cultivation philosophy. One environment. And yet... completely different plants. Some stretch. Some stay low. Some become monsters. Some become little jewels. Some need intervention. Some practically tell you: "Doctor, please stop touching me. I'm doing fine." 😂 Purple CousKush Pheno B belongs firmly in that last category. And I respect her wishes. 💧 Feeding & Irrigation The flowering nutrition program continues with the established 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 Current recorded conditions are approximately: 💧 pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: around 2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💦 Watering: approximately 1.2 L / 24h ? Pot size: 15 L And again, I want to emphasize something I've been noticing throughout this run. The foliage quality is impressive. That doesn't come from one magic bottle. It's the combination. Genetics + nutrition + environment + light + irrigation + consistency. Take away any one of those pieces and the picture can change dramatically. But when they're all working together? You get this. A happy, lush, beautifully developing plant. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running under stable conditions: ☀️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💧 Solution temperature: 25°C 💨 CO₂: approximately 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 That consistency continues being one of the foundations of this entire experiment. We're not trying to make every plant behave identically. We're giving every plant a stable environment and letting the genetics show us what they're capable of. And Purple CousKush Pheno B seems very comfortable inside it. 🔬 Genetics Deserve The First Shout-Out I want to make this point especially clear because it's easy in a grow diary to give all the credit to the equipment. The lights matter. The nutrition matters. The environment matters. The grower matters. But before any of that... there is a seed. And that seed carries the genetic potential. Without good genetics, none of the other pieces can magically create something that simply isn't there. That's why I'm genuinely happy with what Zamnesia has given me to work with in this run. Purple CousKush Pheno B is showing us her own interpretation of those genetics. And I really like what I'm seeing. Then you add a consistent Plagron nutrition program, stable environmental conditions, strong lighting and careful observation... and you give that genetic potential a good place to express itself. That's the recipe I'm interested in. Not one magic trick. A complete system. 👀 Looking Ahead Now my curiosity is really starting to build. Those little golf-ball-like flower formations should continue developing. The flowers should continue gaining volume. The pistils will eventually begin changing as maturity approaches. Resin production should continue increasing. And that compact structure should slowly become increasingly dominated by mature flowers. I don't want to predict the final result yet. We're not there. But I can say one thing with confidence: I really like where she's going. And that's enough for this week. 💜 Final Thoughts – A Delight Of A Plant Purple CousKush Pheno B continues being exactly what she has always been. Elegant. Compact. Beautiful. Quietly impressive. And this week, she's showing us even more of that personality. The deep, lush green is absolutely gorgeous. The bud formation is becoming increasingly pronounced. Those little flower clusters are starting to look like miniature golf balls developing along the branches. The white pistils are everywhere. The structure is beautiful. The plant is healthy. And she is exactly where she needs to be. Honestly... I have nothing to complain about. And sometimes that's the best report you can write. 😂💜 I'm also increasingly convinced that what we're seeing across this room is a beautiful combination of genetics and quality nutrition. The genetics give us the potential. The nutrition helps support that potential. The environment allows it to be expressed. And the rest is simply keeping everything consistent enough for the plant to do what she already knows how to do. Grow. Build. Flower. And shine. So this week, Purple CousKush Pheno B doesn't need a dramatic story. She doesn't need a rescue. She doesn't need a big intervention. She just needs her spotlight. Because she has earned it. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful Purple CousKush genetics, Plagron for the nutrition that continues helping these girls maintain such impressive foliage and development, Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing additional light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for environmental control, and of course to everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has a personality. Every plant has a story. And Purple CousKush Pheno B? She's writing hers quietly. No drama. No complaints. Just deep green foliage, beautiful flower formation, bright white hairs and a plant that's becoming more impressive every single week. Elegant. Compact. Beautiful. And absolutely on point. 💜🌿 Let's give this girl the spotlight. She deserves it. Until next week... Keep shining, beautiful girl. 💜✨ Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

for this grow i am not using any techniques, just growing.

Hello Week 8: Everything runs like clockwork. PK tea secret recipe works at full speed. Tomorrow morning there will be the next vaccination. I think then the growth rate will explode generatively exponentially high... The Sweet Seeds girls should be ready soon, which means their last PK tea and then only gentle watering. Today finally arrives my Sweet Seeds shipment "Jealousy Z XL" from Spain... I think that my crowning debut will be in my new Homebox Ambient XL yes !!
