🌿 Week 4 – Purple CousKush Auto #12 | Plant A Taking the Lead | 8×8 Adventure One tent. One lighting schedule. One feeding program. The exact same environment. Yet every single plant continues to write her own story. That’s the beauty of this 8×8 Adventure and one of the main reasons I’ve chosen to document every phenotype individually. Growing from seed always brings surprises, and under the 12/12 From Seed experiment, those differences become even more fascinating. This week, the spotlight belongs to Purple CousKush Auto #12 – Plant A. While her sister (Plant B) is only just beginning to settle into pre-flowering, Plant A has already taken a noticeable step forward. Her structure has become more defined, the stretch has quietly begun, and those first flowering sites are now appearing all across the canopy. She’s clearly telling me she’s ready for the next chapter. ⸻ 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure Continues Every week inside this room reminds me that no two plants ever read the same script. Running twelve different cultivars together under a fixed 12-hour photoperiod has become an incredible learning experience. Some varieties rush toward reproduction almost immediately, while others prefer investing more time building branches before flowering. Purple CousKush Plant A seems to have found a wonderful balance between the two. She has built a compact yet well-structured canopy and is now confidently transitioning into bloom without sacrificing healthy vegetative growth. Watching these individual personalities develop is what makes this project so rewarding. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle guidance instead of heavy intervention Training this week remained simple and intentional. The majority of the work has consisted of leaf tucking, allowing larger fan leaves to be repositioned rather than removed. It’s amazing how much additional light can reach developing shoots simply by moving a leaf a few centimeters. Alongside that, I’ve continued some very gentle Low Stress Training, encouraging the branches to spread naturally and create a more even canopy. With autoflowers, I always try to let the plant lead the conversation. Rather than forcing a particular shape, I simply guide the branches where they already want to grow, opening the structure without slowing her momentum. Plant A has responded beautifully. The side branches are now catching up, the center remains open, and new flowering sites are beginning to appear across almost every growing tip. ⸻ ☀️ Beating the summer heat Summer has definitely arrived here. Keeping a grow room comfortable during these warmer weeks becomes a challenge all on its own, even with air conditioning running continuously. Daytime temperatures have been reaching 33°C, while humidity has remained around 63%, creating conditions that demand constant monitoring and small environmental adjustments. Fortunately, the plants continue responding extremely well. Healthy green leaves. Strong stems. Excellent vigor. No signs of nutrient stress or environmental fatigue. Sometimes successful growing isn’t about having perfect numbers… It’s about maintaining stability when nature refuses to cooperate. ⸻ 💧 Week 4 Feeding The nutrient program remains unchanged, providing everything the plants need as they transition into early flower. Feed per litre • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Solution parameters: • EC: 1.35 mS/cm • pH: 6.1 The combination continues producing exactly what I like to see—healthy colour, vigorous new growth, and a plant that’s asking for more light every single day. ⸻ 🌸 First signs of flower Plant A is now clearly ahead of her sister in development. Pre-flower is becoming increasingly obvious, with fresh pistils emerging throughout the upper nodes and new growth beginning to take on that unmistakable early flowering appearance. The stretch is only just beginning, but it’s already easy to imagine how this canopy will develop over the coming weeks. The gentle LST performed earlier is paying off nicely, creating multiple future flowering tops instead of relying on one dominant main cola. It’s still early… But the foundations are there. And they’re looking very promising. ⸻ 🌱 Looking ahead Over the next week I’m expecting Plant A to continue stretching while stacking more flowering sites throughout the canopy. The goal remains exactly the same: Maintain an open structure. Keep every future bud site exposed to quality light. Support healthy root development. And simply let the plant express her genetics at her own pace. One of the greatest lessons from this project has been learning not to compare plants against each other, but to appreciate each one for what she naturally wants to become. Purple Kush Plant A is already showing plenty of character, and I have a feeling she’s only just getting started. ⸻ A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure, reading these updates, leaving comments, sharing ideas, and making this journey even more enjoyable. Your support genuinely motivates me to document every phenotype individually so we can all learn together. Massive thanks as well to Plagron for keeping these ladies thriving with an outstanding nutrient line, and to Zamnesia for providing fantastic genetics that make projects like this possible. Growers Love and see you all next week, where Plant A will continue writing her own story—one leaf, one branch, and soon… one beautiful flower at a time. 🌿💚

All going well Super boof and one bubba Kush showing a few ambers Max ppfd 1000 in places

Some light defoliation and leaf tucking. Installed the Tray2Grow today and I’m excited. It’s looking great. The silica gave it a really beefy center stem. I dig it. I love this plant so much.

Okey, ya pasamos a la maceta definitiva de 50 litros y aplicamos poda apical todo fue realizado el mismo dia. La planta recibio muy bien la poda y sigue creciendo

Approaching the finish line. Fertilizer is now at its final dose. Both plants stopped growing now and started to build thick buds. Ken in fact is way ahead in terms of buds but it might be because he Hase a little bit less in number. It’s possible that I trained Ryu too much for his pot size 😆😆. But let’s see. Both looking very good and a lot more powerful than in my first grow. Water intake is still massive. The top soil is rock solid while draining water super fast which must mean the pots are filled with massive roots. The erected teeth came down a bit but they were never that severe in the first place so I’m still not worried about that. I skipped one day of watering to account for possible slight overfeeding but I mean, today’s watering then was with the increased dose of fert 😆😆. I know I’m pushing it a little bit but that’s deliberate. I have high demands both in mass and quality so my approach is riding the edge as good as possible from the beginning 😆

Small amount of lst and nothing much else to report.

Bulk runs good She is now 97 Days old About 3/4 weeks until the possible harvest point

Week 6 flower : I stopped the pk half way through week 6 so it had a total of 10 days feed with pk13/14 I also cut out the silicone and calmag on the same day . I defoliated a little as there was a lot bud sites covered . I am going to start the flush in 3 days which will be . .6 1/2 weeks into flower , going to give them 2 weeks flush with plain water . Still have a bit of leaf curl from the light being so close I did move it but because the canopy is not so even it’s hard to get it right .

Week 1 Flower Report: Anesia Pheno Hunt! Hello, wonderful Grow Diaries community! Welcome back to another exciting week of our Anesia pheno hunt. We've officially entered the flowering stage, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share the progress and updates with you all. Week 1 Flower Highlights: Transition to Flowering: Our Anesia ladies are making the exciting transition from veg to flower. The stretch is on, and they're reaching for the stars! This week, the plants have shown remarkable growth, with sturdy branches and lush foliage. Future#1, Zoomiez, Apricot Oreo, and the resilient Red Banana Pudding are all thriving beautifully. Nutrient Update: To support this critical phase, I’ve adjusted their nutrient regimen. Using the fantastic Aptus Holland range, I’ve started them on the flower mix, including Regulator, CaMg-Boost, TopBooster, and P-Boost. The All-in-One Pellets in the soil provide a solid nutrient base, so no need for the All-in-One Liquid. This powerful combo ensures they get all the essential nutrients for robust flowering. Environment Control: Maintaining optimal conditions is key. With the help of my Blue Lab Guardian monitor, I’ve kept the TDS at 420 and pH at 5.8, ensuring perfect balance for nutrient uptake. The Future of Grow LED lights continue to provide the ideal spectrum for vigorous growth and bloom. Topping and Training: Earlier, we topped the plants, and the results are showing! The plants have developed multiple strong colas, promising an abundant harvest. The water droplets after topping always bring a smile, signifying the plants’ health and vitality.

Pics are from day 19, which is the day I topped all the plants. Topped them for a second time a little early - should have waited a couple of days for the new growth. No real damage done though and a lesson learned. Topped to the 3rd node, stripping everything below, and topped each "stork" at the next node creating 4 main branches per plant. Seen a little cal deficiency, but increasing the feed concentration to 2.5ml p/l of each will nutrient type sort that out in the coming week. Will be transplanting to 5 gallon pots in the coming week, once the plants have bounced back from the heavy mainlining techniques they've just been through.

Mental rainbow f1 has been developing well the bid site are bulking up noticeably whilst just started seeing the production of thrichomes on the main bud sites while at the smaller side branches are not that far behind the main ones

Day 7 i I transplanted the seedlings in jiffy’s to the DWC basket water level was “just” touching the bottom of the basket which meant there was 1mm- 2mm air gap between the water level and the jiffy’s. The high pressured air in the water to spit when air was released at the top which kept the bottom of the jiffy moist which had minimal roots showing to the exterior of it. Day 7-13 I originally had 7.5 litres of water that was to the bottom of the basket. I replaced the water on the 13th which meant the water was changed after 6 days at such an early stage I will regularly change the water in the buckets. You can change every 7-14days but I am taking no chances. I refilled and added nutrients on Day 13 which was yesterday. And the plants are doing really well and are a nice VEG green colour. Hard to tell on the pictures with the light colour but you can see their progress. When I replaced the water this week I put 6.5L of water in each bucket With nutrients PH’d as close to 5.8 as possible. Some varied from 5.72 - 5.9. I have noted these on each bucket so that I can check if one does better than the others or shows deformities or stress I can amend it to match the others but hopefully not in such a close proximity of 5.8ph with an EC of 700+- The roots are now showing in every pot with the longest being some 6inches. The new Wakyme grow light is top notch so far with VEG button on only. Anyone contemplating buying one it cost me £99.00 from amazon and so far is performing just how I would like. Humidity has been taken care of with a cold air intake fan which is pulled from another area of the building of a cooler environment. Temperatures are spot on where I want them but I do allow a 2degree +- allowance but it does change back to its original temperature quickly enough. 5 more speed bud germinated and 2peyote critical feminised photoperiod germinated. Crystal candy XL auto ordered x10 Gorilla glue, Pineapple Express and Cali Kush waiting in the wings. I have these already If I can be anymore help to anyone let me know. Your diaries are helping me and hopefully I can provide the same to you

1st week of grow, wonder how long i will let them veg before switch to bloom. Didnt precise that seeds from this part of the box are not feminized, I’ll maybe lose some of them during stretch. Strengh and pleasure to all during this worldwide weird period 🌱💪🏼

No fim da semana ela já começou a ter um pouco de cheiro, terminou a semana com 24 x 24 x 22 cm, fiz uma amarra

Week 6 - Week without surprises. No-till cycle working well, watering only with water, but note that the companion plants still grow crooked. Soon the soil still shows signs of excesses, I believe that in the next cycles these excesses will be fixed. Hugz from Brazil.

This little girl is comming in good on begining her 2 week of veg she's growing awesome under this fold 6 from medic grow an she's growing good using this cultured biologix nutrients Purple Goat Cheese from Goat Genetics is doing great too growing noticeably more everyday under this medic grow led

สวัสดีเพื่อน การออกดอกนี้มันชั่งสวยงามมากๆเลย ติดตามเราได้ที่ FB:OwenLab

August 23rd. 70 days post flip. Clones: All 3 clones are growing very well. No crazy developments this week. Buds continue to fatten. Smells are finally starting to form and starting to notice different smells from the 3 phenos. Starting next week I will begin giving more detailed descriptions of the 3 different phenos too help me decide which one to pick when this is all said and done. I did this when they were in veg and have stopped until flower development finally begun. We are finally at this phase of actual development and want to document these next two months. I was also really lucky this week and picked up a ton of back to roots organic nutrients at Walmart. Got them on clearance for 5$ a bag, 50% off. I really cleaned up and helped out the earth boxes this week as well. I removed the plastic covers, added in new Elite Living soil to finally cover the rockwool cubes. Topped it off with some Azomite, craft blend, worm castings, bone meal, and kelp meal with potash. And than covered with a little more elite living soil. I think this will really help these guys especially now that flowers are starting to fatten. I also went from 11.5 on and 12.5 off too 11.25 on and 12.75 off. This will further motivate the buds to start to fatten. In another two weeks I will go another 15 minutes. Added in a larger fan too ensure we keep good airflow. Considering adding in another one to help cool the top canopy Parent: Finally decided to enhance these guys a little bit for the first time in 25 weeks. Topped them with some craft blend and some fresh Elite living soil I got for my other tent. Also topped them heavily and cleaned up their foliage significantly. I’m expecting them to recover in a week or two and for the new soil volume to make them happy. As always, thank you guys for following along and God Bless!
