💜 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! 🌱💚

Day 23, been QCing the buds and lots defoliation the past 2 days. Getting caked in Trich and some nice bright orange hair poping out. Added trimmed buds to mulch layer. No fan leaves in mulch

Das Gute zuerst: Sie hat das Gewitter mit den sehr starken Böen überlebt. Das Schlechte: Das Gewitter hat starke Spuren hinterlassen. Was zuerst nur ein launiger Wind war, steigerte sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit zu einem Gewittersturm. Das Video zeigt es deutlich. Wenn der Wind nur aus einer Richtung kommt, verträgt sie es einigermaßen, aber wenn die Windböen schnell die Richting wechseln und dazu noch die Blüten so nass wie ein vollgesogener Schwamm sind ist: "BASTA"! So geschehen an der Seven Freeze kurz vor Wochenendbeginn. Es sah wirklich schlimm aus, nun sieht sie wie eine teilverschnürte Mumie aus, die durch die Binden (hier Schnur) zusammengehalten wird. Glücklicherweise versorgt Cannabis auch abgebrochene Zweige weiter, solange sie noch Verbindung zum Stamm haben. Deshalb haben wir noch im nachlassenden Regen die Zweige wieder angebunden/hochgebunden und ´befestigt. (Viel Schnur war nötig.) Am nächsten Tag fand ich die Blüten etwas zu schwer für die nun doch gehandikapte Lady. Deshalb wurde sie flugs um ein Kilogramm frischer abgeschüttelter Blüten erleichtert, was ca. einem Drittel dieser Dame entspricht. Der Duft ist unaufdringlich aber bisher wie das Zeugs aus der Jugend. Die Wirkung habe ich anhand eines kleines Stücks Blüte im Vaporisator einen Tag später vor getestet. Ja, es hat Wirkung, angenehm, weich und nicht allzu lang. Gut zu gebrauchen in Gesprächen und um locker zu bleiben. Der Duft wird beim Trocknen zunehmen. Leider haben es ein paar Pollen doch in andere als die vorgesehenen Blüten geschafft, hoffentlich nicht zu viele. Und interessant ist, dass trotz des starken Gewitters am Tag zuvor, die Dame am nächsten Tag Durst hatte. Jetzt kommt die letzte oder vorletzte Woche dieser Early-Sorte ohne Ruderalis Anteil, nicht so wie einige Sorten, die als "Early" vermarktet werden aber einen guten Anteil Autoflower beinhalten. Hier ist Nachzucht möglich und gewünscht. Bei den Ruderalis Genen dürfte das nicht so einfach sein, ich lasse mich aber gerne überzeugen. Vielen Dank für euren Besuch, ich wünsche euch eine kommende Grow-Woche ohne Schäden!

Nun ist es bald geschafft und ein holpriger Grow geht der Ernte entgegen. In 3 Tagen plane ich die Ernte. Glücklicherweise waren die letzten Wochen für die Mädels nicht mehr so stressig, um so mehr für mich 😜 Die Temperatur und Luftfeuchtigkeit aufrecht zu erhalten war nicht immer leicht. Ich habe viel Zeit mit basteln verbracht 😎 Es hat sich gelohnt! Mittlerweile sind die Blätter schon recht hell und haben sich stark zusammengezogen. Die Trichome sehen milchig bis leicht bräunlich aus. Sie richen appetitlich 😋 wie ein Gewürz

Each 1L jar has exactly 28g, it took a long time to sort through this. I think I left them hanging for maybe 6-12 hours too long as the RH in a lot of the jars are below 55% (target is 62%). Some remedial action was taken, and I cut off small pieces of the main stem or trunk from the left over carcasses which has successfully brought the RH back up over 60%. The hash I made from dry ice and 160 micron bubble bags is on a whole other level, I have added a video close up of the pucks I made with a pollen press, almost 0 leaf matter! - This actually might be my new favourite way of smoking weed, hash on the common market is low quality and full of plant matter. I ran her low on EC for the entire grow, using the Botanicare KIND range. Max EC was about 1.8 - but averaged between 1.2 and 1.6 throughout most of the flowering cycle. This grow beats the hell out of my first, and I hope it wasn't just a lucky fluke! I ran the same lights, 2 x 315w Euro Style CMH fixtures. Royal Gorilla from RQS is next up, will be posting a new diary very soon 😊 Happy growing all and thanks for stopping by! 1.26 g/w this grow, or a more accurate way of looking at it: 1.07g/umol 😊

èarrivata alla 7 settimana tt procedere bene

Y nos fuimos a floración!! 🍀👨‍🌾🏻

Helloo, planties are roughtly 3 week into vegetative growth. Into second week our cat snucked into the tent and being the motivated gardener she is, dug out quick one and speedy chille, we put them both back into place gave planties some water, and with time they recovered, speedy chille got most stress, but being photoperiod, recovered slowly aswell, still the shortest and very loved. :) so everythings good Royal kush has the strongest smell of them all, few leafs we defoliated we grind in our hard and smell a deep green canna scent. Northen lights is the leader in hight since begining When planties grew 5 tops we topped them, began doing LST and a bit of defoliation, bended stems away from the lamp and taking off leaf that blocks light reaching tops. The stems hardened and remind me now more of a tree

I'm never composed without getting high first but I'm actually feeling this as hopefully I should get 4 main heads. Apart from the slight cock up the grows going full speed now and thinking of sticking these on a 8-9 week veg and just pack the tent out. It becomes a ball ache during flower but have way more space with the new tent and the accessible sides. Great idea Mars 👍🏻💡 Plants loving the nutrients and will start to reduce Organic Grow by 30% when leaves get a touch darker. Maybe next week 👍🏻 peace GD Happy growing fam ❤️🌱🍁👍🏻

Now here we go !!! This girl is just starting to take off, as for every gorilla glue lineage strain I have done , they really pack on weight at the very end . Just when you start to feel disappointed, it will explode. More notes to follow as I am just getting things posted up !!! *** My phone glitched out and added last week's photos, not a clue why but no stress, 💖. Y'all better get ready to see some special!!!

The High intensity was to strong (clearly my fault) in the beginning which stunted her overall stretch, she however still delivered super dense, terpene and trichome loaded buds.

Hey everyone 😃. This week she has done great 👍. It was done again on all the drifted topping and sprayed one last time with neem oil so that the last trips are finally gone 😁. We haven't had any pests for so many years and all of a sudden we have such little shit parts 😅. This week it was poured twice with 1.2 l of water. GHSC enhancer was added during a pouring (1 g per l) The tent was cleaned every day this week and the plants were checked for health. The humidifier is filled once a day. Next week I will decide how I will continue the training because I have space again in the flower tent 😀. Until then, I wish you and your families a good start into the new year 2021 🙏🏻.

Update Day 14 Flowering: Wow this girl has fought her way into my affections this week. Her stacking nodes are impressive and so not like her mothers growth. I can see how they will stack and grow quiet well now and am hopeful of her yield. For 2 weeks old , she is doing great and to say how long she was held back ect.. ,doing even better. Still no signs of any issues or deficiencies so all good. Lets see gow she copes this week with the heatwave.
