Es war Zeit für die Ernte, im Urlaub hatte sich an der Pflanze im Folientunnel Schimmel an der Hauptcola gebildet und auch etwas an der Pflanze auf der Terrasse. Es hatte in dieser Woche sehr viel geregnet. die Pflanze wurde geschnitten und zum Trocknen aufgehängt.

Rough start of week 4, The Auto ultimate seemed very droopy at the start of day 21 and the first true leaves are showing some yellowing, I tested my soil and water PH, both seem fine, I think it may have been underwatering, My water frequency seemed alright, but I dont think I fully saturated my medium and let the centers of the pot dry out. I promptly watered untill I got runoff and a day later both plants seem to have really perked up, I'm afraid I may have stunted the Ultimate a little, she's still growing and very bushy though, both plants smell like a fresh bush of nettles and seem very firm. I think Im going to be less paranoid about overwatering, the plants are in fabric pots and get plenty of airflow, if anyone has more tips on how to foolproof the whole watering, I would really appreciate it. Its by far the most stressful part, since im never sure when enough is enough and not too much or too little

Day 22: 600W LED 20 hours on 4 hours of the same with ventilation. Humidity around 60-70 percent. Water intake 50ml per plant per day and some triggering spray. Bat gunao, Epsom salt, Biobizz BioGrow, BioBloom and TopMax for ferilization.. I will use these ones 3 x a week and I will stop using Epson salt. I will use bat gunao every second day. I will see:) BlackBerry Kush, Northern Light and LSD-25 are the tallest ones. Glueberry OG's "head" is not straight because of the ventilation she fell over and the head always turns to the light. I just stood her up. Day 24: They are nicely growing especially BlackBerry Kush, LSD-25 and Northern Light. Glueberry OG started growing faster as well now only Colorado Cookies remains small. She may need a bit more time. Day 27: They started growing much quicker. End of the week the tallest is BlackBerry Kush with 20cm and the smallest is Colorado Cookies with 10cm.

Excellent progress so far. Grower exclaimed his enthusiasm for the progress made in only after a week of nutrient program. See Grower commentary in video.

31 Aug. I start the third week of my autoflower. The plant is growing well, but I noticed small yellow spots on the leaf tips, which seem like a mild calcium deficiency. This is probably due to the fact that so far I have been giving water with a slightly low pH, around 6, while the ideal range would be 6.5–7. At the beginning, to lower the ppm of the tap water (which was around 211 ppm), I mixed it with demineralized water. This brought the ppm down to about 109–140, making it harder for the plant to absorb the available calcium. Additionally, the soil I am using, Biobizz Light Mix, is lightly fertilized but does not contain enough calcium to correct this small initial deficiency. For this week, I will not add any fertilizers. I simply want to raise the pH to 6.5 and use water with higher ppm, so the plant can better absorb the nutrients already present in the soil. The lamp is positioned about 35–36 cm from the plant and so far there are no burn issues. Temperatures range between 25 and 30 °C depending on the day, while humidity in the room stays between 40–60%. The humidifier is always on because I keep the window open, but the dehumidifier is not being used, as it is not necessary at the moment. I also have a new oscillating fan arriving to replace the current fixed one, and I’m waiting for a regulable extractor (90–145 m³/h), which will allow me to control the air perfectly during winter if needed. This week my main goals are: Increase the water ppm without overdoing it Adjust the pH to 6.5 Keep observing the plant without adding any fertilizers Everything else seems fine and growth is regular. With these corrections, I expect the new leaves to grow healthy and free of spots. ==UPDATE 31/08== To control the calcium deficiency, I will administer an eggshell solution until I reach 300 ppm (I will boil some eggshells and administer the solution in tap water).

Week 8 Flower | GMO × Triangle Mints BX Week 15 overall, and we are in the final stretch. One week out from harvest and the room is telling that story loud and clear. The fade is deep and progressing perfectly — the plants are drawing down everything they have left, channelling it all into the buds in one last push. The purple expression that showed itself last week has deepened across multiple plants, the calyxes are swelling, and the trichome coverage is dense across every site from top to bottom. Watering climbed again to 8L per plant per 24h — the root zone is pulling everything it can get in these final days. pH holding at 6.2, EC stepped further down to 1.2 mS/cm as the fade protocol does its work and the plant takes over. Height unchanged at 110cm, lamp still at 20cm — nothing moves from here. Humidity holding at 50%, day temp 25°C, nights 23°C. Feed stack stripped back to the essentials for the final week: Athena Fade carrying the programme, Canna CalMag Agent 1.1 ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1 ml/l. Nothing else. Clean finish, no interference — let the plant do the rest. The candy gas is relentless at this point. Harvest is next week. The GMO × Triangle Mints BX delivered exactly what was asked of it. Next update Sunday. Stay tuned

A new week ... A new Luck ....

This Week Just gave the Girls nothing but PH Balanced Water, gotta love fox farm soil

Week 7 flower

Meine Schätzchen sehen sehr gesund aus. Sie bekommen alle 2-3 Tage 5 Liter Osmose gefiltertes Wasser. Aus Erfahrung immer etwas vorsichtiger als zu viel. Dazu werden Sie alle zwei Wochen mit den angegebenen Nährstoffen versorgt. Ich bleibe gespannt, aber rein vom Wachstum ist Sie top, alle 8 h sehe ich schon eine Veränderung in der Blattmasse und Größe.

💜 Week 7 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno B) Quiet Confidence One of the things I love most about growing multiple phenotypes side by side is discovering that every plant has its own way of telling a story. Some demand attention from the very beginning. Others slowly earn it. This Purple CousKush has always belonged to the second group. Since germination she's chosen her own rhythm, never trying to become the tallest plant in the room or the fastest to flower. Instead, she's quietly built herself into an incredibly balanced, healthy and elegant little lady. For anyone joining this 8×8 Adventure for the first time, this entire project is about growing multiple phenotypes side by side under exactly the same conditions. Every plant receives the same environment, nutrition and care, allowing their unique genetics and personalities to tell the story. This Purple CousKush is proving that sometimes the quietest phenotype becomes one of the most rewarding to watch. Week after week she's reminded me that confidence doesn't always need to be loud. Sometimes it simply grows. 🌱 Plant Development Week 7 finds this beautiful phenotype standing at approximately 88 cm, adding another impressive stretch since last week's update while maintaining the same wonderfully symmetrical structure she's displayed from the beginning. Although she still isn't the tallest Purple CousKush in the tent, she's becoming one of those plants that immediately catches your eye for all the right reasons. Every branch has continued developing evenly, creating a beautifully open canopy where light reaches almost every flowering site. The spacing between nodes has proven to be nearly ideal, giving each future cola plenty of room to develop without feeling crowded. The flowers themselves have taken a noticeable step forward this week. Fresh white pistils continue exploding from every bud site, while the individual flowers are beginning to connect into the first recognizable colas. They're still young, but the direction is becoming very clear. One thing that really stands out is her colour. The foliage has shifted into an incredibly rich emerald green that almost glows under the lights. Every leaf looks healthy, every stem feels strong, and the entire plant gives the impression of being perfectly comfortable in her environment. She may not be shouting for attention. But she's certainly earning it. 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions Another week of stable environmental conditions has allowed this phenotype to continue flowering without interruption. • 12/12 light schedule from seed • Future of Grow Black Series LED delivering approximately 850 PPFD • Lumiflora under-canopy lighting now supporting lower flower development • Mammoth Pro grow tent • Day temperature around 29°C • Night temperature around 25°C • Relative humidity averaging 60% • CO₂ approximately 639 ppm • pH 5.8 • EC 1.95 mS/cm One exciting addition this week has been introducing the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting. While the main Future of Grow Black Series continues driving the canopy from above, the Lumiflora fixtures now provide additional light beneath the canopy, helping lower flowering sites receive energy that would normally be lost in the shadows. As the flowers continue stacking over the coming weeks, this extra light should contribute to more uniform bud development throughout the entire plant instead of concentrating production only at the top. It's another small detail that helps maximize every square centimetre of the grow space. 💧 Feeding Program Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container and receiving approximately 1.1 litres of solution per irrigation, she continues responding beautifully to the current bloom programme. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L The slightly increased EC has been welcomed without hesitation. Leaf colour remains beautifully vibrant, new flower growth is accelerating and the plant continues showing absolutely no signs of nutrient excess or deficiency. Sometimes the best feeding schedule isn't the most complicated one. It's simply the one the plant happily accepts. 🌸 Phenotype Notes This Purple CousKush continues reminding me that beauty isn't measured in height. She's growing with incredible balance. The main stem has become noticeably thicker, every branch is supporting itself confidently, and each flowering site appears to be developing at almost exactly the same pace. There's something incredibly satisfying about watching a plant where nothing seems forced. Everything feels natural. The rich green foliage frames the developing flowers perfectly, while the bright white pistils almost sparkle against the darker leaves. She isn't trying to steal the spotlight. She simply shines in her own quiet way. Sometimes those become the most memorable plants of the entire run. 🔍 Looking Ahead The stretch now appears to be slowing, which means the next phase should become increasingly exciting. Over the coming week I expect the flowers to begin stacking much more aggressively as the plant redirects more of her energy into building density rather than height. The introduction of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting should also begin showing its benefits as the lower bud sites receive additional usable light, helping create a more consistent canopy from top to bottom. The framework has been built. Now comes the part every grower loves watching. The swelling. The stacking. And slowly, the first hints of the beautiful Purple CousKush she's been promising all along. 💭 Final Thoughts This week made me smile. Not because she's suddenly become the biggest plant in the room. But because she's becoming exactly what she was meant to be. Healthy. Balanced. Elegant. Every photograph tells the same story. Deep green leaves. Strong stems. Beautiful flower formation. And a plant that looks completely at peace with herself. She reminds me that growing isn't always about chasing the biggest harvest or the tallest canopy. Sometimes it's simply about appreciating a plant that's doing everything right. And this beautiful lady... She's doing exactly that. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every comment, every question and every shared experience make this journey even more rewarding.

Tag 45: Hab die Green Gelato ganz schön ausgehackt 😬 Sie ist sehr schnell gewachsen, bin gar nicht hinterher gekommen. Durch die Wärme ist die Pflanze recht hell geworden ich gebe ab sofort Alg a mic dazu um ihr hoffentlich etwas grün zurück zugeben.

Well, week 11 has started today 8/15. So blessed to have gotten this far! I'll be flipping the lights tomorrow to begin to start flowering. I have both my tents linked up so I don't have to run two separate exhausts! Now that the stress part is over time to sit, enjoy some puffs and continue focusing my energy! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 8/17 Day one of 12/12 in the books! I gotta say, I always chill with my plants before I turn down for the night and it was strange not doing it last night, lol. So I'm gonna get some green lights! I have an awesome app on my phone called Hydroponics Green Screen Light, it's in the app store for free. Developer in Timothy Johns. It works great but not enough for me. But it is great if you need to go in during the dark cycle for whatever reason. Or you can get yourself a lamp and a green grow room bulb! Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 8/19 Everything is looking very good. Got some very noticeable growth! That's about it really. Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️ UPDATE: 8/21...just uploading a few pics to end the week with. Well 12 and the start of 2nd week of flower begins tomorrow! Everything still looking good 😁 Happy growing everyone ✌️🍀✌️

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!! We have had some crazy cold weather here the last 4 days and for the first time in 13 years had snow on Christmas day. So with the cold and snow came grow room issues. My grow space is outside and not attached to the house so maintaining a proper temperature and humidity has been a bit on the difficult side. Even with the lights running 24 hours, it's had a few drops down to 19c and the humidity has gone up to 68% a few times. Now luckly I'm still in veg and the humidity isn't a issue yet but the temperature has been making me worried. Going to put togther a heater with its own temperature switch increase it drops below 20c. Did some training over the last week with some LST and FIMing. With the LST every 3nd day I've been adjusting them and pulling the plants back a bit more and more. Since I don't think I'll be able to set up a SCRog net this go around (spent to much for Christmas and wont be able to affordthe PVC tubing) ive got to figure out something else and fast. Plants are getting big and it's going to get hard to bend then properly without braking stuff. Because I was showing some issues with 2 of my plants I started adding a bit of Revive to my res to see if they get better and they have. But because of the cold that's been hitting us my tank has had a hard time staying warm. Even with my 50w tank heater it's been fighting a up hill battle because the area outside the main room where the tank is, has been sitting around 14-17c. So with that the air pump I use to circulate the tank, it is pulling in cold air and thats been fighting the tank heater in getting it up to what I like it at. I tried using my water pump instead of the air pump for circulation and the res went up to 25.6c soooo I would much rather have 19c res then water that could kill my plants. So let's talk about the plants themselves. Both Special Queen plants are doing great but as you can see from the picture, one is doing absolutely amazing. Great growth (understatement) and has bounced back from training like a pro. The other plant is still doing really good when compared to all the other plants in the room but still could be a little bit better. Depending on what I'm going to do for supporting the plants this might be the last week of veg. Well see. So this plant was doing great and then about 2 days ago I started to notice issues. Almost looks like leaf rust or a Ph problem but ive tried my best to keep them correct and I'm hopping that like my Ripper badazz plants that they well just grow out of it. Doing a big clean up today in the room so I'm going to keep my eyes open for any pests just incase that's the issue but fingers crossed it isn't. Well that's everything for now. Happy growing growmies!!!

Irie, growmz! Runtz is enjoying the sunshine today! she was on my windowsill almost the whole week, now and then she could go outside when it was warm enough.. She only gets 15H of daylight but she is the only one who is not showing stress becouse of that.. leaves are nice and flat, colour is beautiful green.. so all is good! she hasnt even streched much (yet) I put her on my windowsill tonight again, so she will not have to feel the cold night air .. F1 strains are really something else👌 im excited to see how she is gonna bloom🙏 think im gonna top her soon. happy growing for all✊

These girls are looking like they are sprayed with fake snow...lol so sticky icky to play with. Took off a lower outside branch for scoping and these girls are looking close. They have signs of some amber and we are gonna let them go a bit longer to harvest closer with the alien tech hopefully. They definitely didn’t like being neglected a little bit and ph/Ec swung a bit in the middle of flowering and cause some issues a bit, nothing major though. Definitely not for the beginning grower that’s for sure, very finicky...lol got the nutrients lowered for the last week and then there getting the chop! Lol got more girls needing the room, but there looking good. Till next week, Cheers 💨

I am now putting my weekly comments in the videos. Watch the videos for updates.

Last week in soil! Flushing has started and both looking amazing can't wait to get drying now 🤤
