Great flowering time. Enjoying the moment. Ph-6,56 ec-1 salt-0,06% Autobahn 300+

Nice smoke good for day and nighttime use. Have not been able to weigh yet because I haven’t got any scales, but will try get some. I will update it after a bit of a cure. All in all a really good strain and I’m glad I’ve grown it. Very beginner friendly. Update: taste has improved a lot, tastes more tropical and fruity with hints of chocolate mixed in, very nice strain. Found one seed in there too but think that was my fault due to a lot of stress through the whole grow, still glad to have grown it

well everything is going alright. nothing to complain about. destroyers are getting a lighter shade in the new growth but still pretty much healthy, just a more natural sativa color. maybe around this time i could have thought about topdressing but i’m more inclined to let them go on with straight water just to see how this mix runs till finish with just water and no extra inputs. though who knows i may just decide to topdress tomorrow haha others seem happy and healthy as well. watered the dinachem pot yesterday with about 4l of distilled water and destroyers got 4l each 2 days before that. caribe and cannalope pot is still pretty heavy. see y’all next week edit; yesterday we had a blackout so timers were set back an hour so i guess when i opened the tent today light had just turned on because they were holding a less intense praying pose so just checked back 3 hrs later now and looks fine now. added those photos as well.

As I predicted this male is showing off and I am happy to get the pollen.

Results are starting to come in now, going to be Cake all the way to the end. Time to grab your popcorn and stay tuned in 🤡🎪 Short Phenos is Pure Michigan lean, obvious now with the purple starting to form from bud sites. Tall girl is Sugar Cane Pheno what a stake, huh!? GHL out 🚀

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌱 Quiet Confidence Is Becoming Something Beautiful Every grow has plants that demand your attention. They stretch. They fill the room. They need training. They need cleaning. They seem to constantly ask you to do something. And then there are plants like this Purple CousKush. She doesn't ask for much. She simply keeps growing. Quietly. Elegantly. And somehow, every time I look at her, I like her a little more. Standing at approximately 96 cm, she isn't the tallest plant in the 8×8 Adventure. She isn't trying to become one either. But the way she's developing is something I genuinely appreciate. The structure is balanced. The flowers are forming beautifully. The canopy has enough space. The plant looks healthy. And most importantly... she looks comfortable. Sometimes that's all the confirmation a grower needs. 🌸 Week 8 – Beauty Without Force One of the biggest lessons this entire project continues teaching me is that there isn't one correct way for a plant to grow. We're running multiple genetics side by side, under the same general environment, the same lighting strategy, the same nutrition and the same cultivation philosophy. Yet every phenotype interprets that environment differently. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some build massive central colas. Some create dozens of smaller flowering towers. And this Purple CousKush has chosen something in between. She's building a wonderfully balanced structure where the flowering sites are distributed naturally throughout the plant. Nothing looks forced. Nothing looks crowded. Nothing looks like it needs fixing. And that last part is important. Not everything needs fixing. 🌿 No Defoliation This Week This is one of those weeks where I decided to simply leave her alone. She was part of the same general flowering period where other plants in the room received a selective defoliation. But when I looked at her... I didn't see a compelling reason to do it. The canopy isn't excessively congested. The flowering sites are developing nicely. There is enough space between the branches. Air can move through the structure. Light can reach the flowers. And the leaves that remain are healthy and actively contributing to the plant. So why remove them? Just because we can doesn't mean we should. That's something I've learned more and more throughout this project. Defoliation is a tool. It's not a requirement. If a plant already has a good balance between foliage, airflow, light penetration and flowering sites, sometimes the best intervention is no intervention at all. And that's exactly what I chose for this lady. She's doing beautifully. So I'm letting her continue doing beautifully. 🌸 The Flowers Are Writing Her Story And this is where she really starts to shine. The developing flowers are becoming much more defined now. The bright pistils continue emerging across the flowering sites, while the individual buds are beginning to take on more substance. Looking through the canopy, you can see the plant beginning to transition from early flower formation into proper flower development. The structure she built earlier is now becoming the framework supporting all of this. Every branch has a purpose. Every flowering site has room. And the overall shape of the plant gives the impression that she knows exactly what she's doing. I particularly like how the flowers are distributed across the branches. They're not hidden inside a dense wall of foliage. They're sitting there in the light, developing naturally. And that's beautiful to watch. 💜 Small Doesn't Mean Small Potential This is another thing I've come to appreciate during this 8×8 Adventure. When we talk about plants being "big" or "small", we're usually talking about height or physical volume. But those measurements don't necessarily tell the whole story. A plant can be relatively modest in size and still use its available space extremely efficiently. This Purple CousKush is a perfect example. At around 96 cm, she isn't dominating the tent. But look at what she's doing with those centimetres. She's building flowering sites throughout her structure. She's maintaining healthy foliage. She's keeping good spacing. She's developing flowers evenly. And she's doing it without needing constant intervention. That's efficiency. And honestly, I really like it. 💡 Letting The Light Work The lighting strategy remains one of the most interesting parts of this entire project. Above the canopy, the Future of Grow Black Series continues providing the main source of intense light. Below, the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting continues helping illuminate areas that would otherwise receive much less direct light. But there's an important distinction here. Under-canopy lighting isn't a reason to keep every tiny lower flowering site on the plant. Light doesn't magically turn every low bud site into a major cola. The plant still decides where it invests its resources. And that's another reason I don't feel the need to remove foliage aggressively just to expose every little piece of the plant. We're watching. We're observing. We're allowing the plant to show us what she can actually do. For now, she's showing us plenty. 🍃 Healthy, Balanced & Comfortable The foliage remains beautifully healthy. The rich green colour continues throughout the plant, while the leaves maintain good posture and structure. The stems are supporting the developing flowers confidently. The plant isn't showing obvious signs that she's struggling with the current environment or feeding program. And perhaps the biggest compliment I can give her is this: She looks relaxed. There is no visible desperation to her growth. No excessive stretch. No overcrowding. No obvious stress. She's simply progressing. Sometimes healthy cultivation looks surprisingly boring. And that's a compliment. 💧 Feeding Program Purple CousKush Pheno B continues receiving the same flowering nutrition program: 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 targets remain around: pH: 5.8 EC: approximately 1.95 mS/cm She's continuing to accept the program very well. There is no reason to complicate something that's already working. Consistency remains the name of the game. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running with stable conditions: Light schedule: 12/12 Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Pot size: 15 L Watering: approximately 1.1–1.2 L per 24 hours The environmental stability continues giving every phenotype the opportunity to express herself without constantly having to adapt to changing conditions. And that's exactly what we want. The plant should spend her energy growing flowers... Not surviving her environment. 🌱 Same Room. Completely Different Story. This is probably my favourite part of documenting individual phenotypes. Her sister, Purple CousKush Pheno A, has always been more energetic and vertically ambitious. Pheno B is different. She has taken her time. She has built a more restrained structure. She doesn't dominate the canopy. She doesn't demand attention. But now, when you look at her flowers, you can see exactly why she deserves her own diary. She's beautiful. And she's becoming more beautiful every week. This is why I don't like judging phenotypes too early. At the beginning, you see a plant. Then you see a structure. Then you see flowering sites. Then suddenly, somewhere in the middle of flower... you start seeing the phenotype. And I think that's happening right now. 🔍 Looking Ahead The next few weeks should become particularly interesting. The stretch is essentially winding down, which means the plant can increasingly dedicate her resources toward flower development. The flowering sites should continue swelling. The pistils will gradually become less dominant visually as the calyxes gain volume. Resin production should continue increasing. And those beautiful branches she's built should slowly become heavier with flowers. I'm also curious to see whether her compact, balanced architecture translates into equally balanced flowers at harvest. I have a feeling it might. But we're not going to decide that today. We're going to let her finish the story. 💭 Final Thoughts – Sometimes The Best Move Is Doing Nothing This week doesn't have a dramatic lesson. There was no emergency. No major training session. No aggressive cleanup. No big correction. And that's exactly what makes this week special. Sometimes the best thing a grower can do is look at the plant and say: "You're doing great. Carry on." That's where Purple CousKush Pheno B is right now. She's healthy. She's balanced. She's developing beautiful flowers. She's using her space efficiently. She's maintaining excellent structure. And she simply doesn't need me to interfere. So I won't. I'll keep watching. I'll keep feeding. I'll keep watering. I'll keep documenting. And I'll let her show me what she has inside her. Because she may not be the biggest plant in this room. She may not be the tallest. She may not be the loudest. But she's becoming one of the most elegant. And that's a personality worth celebrating. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful Purple CousKush genetics, Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout this journey, Future of Grow for providing the powerful Black Series lighting above the canopy, Lumiflora for helping bring additional light into the lower canopy, TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment, and of course everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has her own story. Some stories are dramatic. Some are explosive. Some surprise us. And some simply become more beautiful every week. This one? She's quietly becoming something special. 💜 No defoliation. No forcing. No unnecessary intervention. Just a beautiful plant doing what she knows how to do. And honestly... I wouldn't change a thing. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Week 7 of flower in the books and the Kush is in the home stretch. Pistils are all turning orange and buds are getting thick and resinous. She's got a nice citrusy smell and the colas are all swaying in the breeze. Shout out to Seedsman for these stable genetics. No deficiencies or issues that I had to fix along the way. Really happy I still have a couple more seeds left over.

Transplant went well today. The girl got three weeks in the tiny pot and barely grew any roots. Surprising honestly. Gotta water more thoroughly I guess. But all is well and will start the beginning process of training soon. Lights at 40% power. Here are the lights details: Medic Grow Mini Sun-2 150W LED Model: MN150-022 Spectrum mode: V1 Efficacy: 2.8 umol/J Thanks for stopping by! You can find the light on Grow Diaries: https://growdiaries.com/grow-lights/medic-grow/mini-sun-2-150-watts You can find the light on Medic Grow's website: https://medicgrow.com/

Day 66/Day 22 of Flower: Finally made it to Week 4 of Flower which means I get to introduce BUD-XL to my nutrient line. Girls were hand fed tonight, saturated with fresh nutes. Tips were already showing signs of nutrient burn going into week 4, so without the former veg nutes, who knows how bad they're about to get. Question: I read defoliating throughout week 3 of flower is around the last time you should trim. I cleaned up the bottom real well, but do you think I trimmed too many fan leaves up top? A lot my bud sites have one fan leaves and the nodes under it have none at all? Throughout this grow, anytime, I've trimmed, it has had zero effect. I think that's because its receiving nutrients twice a day consistently. Regardless, should these leaves up top have stayed on to provide healthier sites or as an extra resource for food when needed? Thanks y'all! Day 69 Update (3/21): First time the grow has A burnt tips across the board. I read this is common during weeks 4-5 of flower, but I also know it can get out of hand real quick. I'll be measuring the runoff over next feeding and determine what the best course of action is. I believe for High Frequency Fertigation in Coco, you have to be careful how you dilute your substrate, and I also think you need to always include some type of Cal Mag in your water, even if just topping off reservoir. Going to be tricky as I enter into Week 5 where I'm supposed to add @House & Garden's Top Booster to my feeding line for a week. However, it's only one week, and after that, H&Gs line goes down considerably ( Pic in Gallery ) Question: Do I keep the nutrient line the same and increase fertigation, or do I dial down the nutrient strength? 3/24/21 Update: That does it for Week 4. Definite signs of nutrient burn with the tips and even some brown coloring leaves. I also don't think the buds are growing as fast as I see others by Week 4 and that's with four weeks of Big Bud and one week of Bud XL. I finally waved the white flag and topped off the reservoir with 2 gallons of fresh water and 2 ml of Cal Mag. Brought my intake down from 2.02 to 1.47 Brought my drainage down from 2.99 to 2.23. Debating on whether to give it one more diluted feed or make a fresh batch for week 5 where I'm supposed to add in Top Booster...Going to be a rough week trying to maintain any significant shock or stress to the plants with the nutrient changes/dilution. Come on Buds!!!! You've been doing so well, now fatten up! P.S. Is the video in the first slot of gallery working?

Molto aromatica con sentori di frutta pungente e spezie confuse con il caffè molto gradevole

Seconda settimana di veg...la runtz che è nata prima dell'altra sta mutando in modo strano. Non avevo mai visto spostarsi il centro apicale..sembra che si è piegata e l'apicale sta crescendo come sé fosse un ramo laterale 😂🤣🤦💪

Week 3!!! Tied down the main branch. Giving them more nutrients 6ml per l I also increased the light intensity by 10% so I think I’m at 50% now My nutrients 1 x Adam: Base nutrient to use from start to finish | NPK: 3 - 0 - 1 1 x Eve: Base nutrient to use from start to finish | NPK: 0 - 4 - 3 1 x Lush: Veg stage additive | NPK: 5 - 0 - 0.5 1 x Rapture: Early Bloom / Flowering stage additive | NPK: 0.7 - 3 - 3 1 x Heavenly Harvest: Additive to enhance Flowering before harvest | NPK: 0 - 7 - 6 I am using 2ml /l Adam and Eve and 1ml / l lush. I feed the girls everyday, watering the nutrient water until I get 15% runoff. Hopefully that’s okay. Jiffy girl has got really big and seems healthy, but coco is a runt I think… it’s half the size of jiffy.

Growing report: The growth through veg stage was amazing couldn’t fault the plant or the feed BUT then flower stage is where these genetics goes all wrong! So two weeks into flower I see one plant had Hermied, so gave this one the axe, and then spoke to acouple of other growers that have the same strain Had the same problem So it’s now named (hermie pie) then in week 5 all plants Hermied. I managed to keep the seeds at bay mostly and slow down the process of them seeding until harvest on week 7/8 I got signs of bud rot but dealt with that quick enough it didn’t damage the rest of the the harvest. Once harvested they got a light trimming then hung up for 5/6days at temperatures 20/28 and humidity 45/60. Used Trimbag for the rest of the trimming process, got 6oz off 3plants 😬 curing for 2weeks in one ounce Jars 75% full. Bud report: Smell; is sweet and tangy Taste; sweet spicy taste Density of buds out of 10; 8. Some seeds found in buds😞 Thank you all for watching another stressful but fun and learning harvest.

Welcome to my Alien Moonrocks Diary, sponsored by Original Sensible Seeds. Days 83-93 Grew well. Lots & lots of bud. Will be my biggest harvest I reckon. Smells of sweetness and and deep dank musk smell. Buds are far apart but of good quality. She's long and a hungry girl. I left her on water just for the week. Lots of the leafs started showing signs of hunger, but she evened out. Got no mad fade. I removed all of the fan leafs, so maybe there would of been some. Am gonna do my favourite drying method. Gonna push her just before the point of showing signs of stress for water. And then I'll chop her on the stem. Plan on a quick 5 day dry. As my temp is not great. So, a quick dry this way, will give a much better result than a quick dry by heat and losing lots of her potency. Thanks to my sponsors from Original Sensible Seeds for these beans. And to mars-hydro for giving me new lights "SP 3000 300W 60X150cm2" and helping improve the way I grow with their new IR/UV45 has helped me push the DLI/ flowering time and it's shown in my yields this round with the fems and autos, much improved upon quality all round. And to everyone who viewed, liked &/R commented much appreciation to you all. And look forward to seen your grows either way. Good Growing.

I did not add nutrients this week, but I did transplant to a 45 gallon pot and added more FFOF soil. There were strong winds reaching 38-40mph; no damage due to the wind. I did notice some damage on the leaves, but this was due to a soap solution I sprayed on the plants that was too strong combined with condensation and high temperatures. I am also being careful of controlling the caterpillar population. I don't tent or screen so I have to deal with all types of insects and issues outdoors throughout the year. I want to believe that the more natural the grow, the better the final product. Final comment this week is that plentiful watering during wind and heat storms goes a long way with the plant. She can take a lot if given the right nutrition and hydration. The smell is intensifying and the buds are starting to form. A long way still from harvest...about 16 to 18 weeks approximately. Getting several monarch butterflies visiting.

Some deficiencies due to PH levels too high. Replaced with new PH pen.. Waiting on recovery, should notice difference by the end of the week.. Going to week 12.😓🎋
