Hello, schönen Sonntag euch mal wieder =D 🌞 🌿 Wochenupdate Die Woche lief erstaunlicherweise echt ruhig =) Wir bewegen uns langsam, aber sicher aufs Ende zu. Den Mädels geht es wieder gut, yaay :D 💚 Anfang der Woche habe ich mich dazu entschieden, einen großen Wasserwechsel durchzuführen. Ich habe hier wirklich eine Weile mit mir gehadert, ob ich diesen Schritt gehen soll oder nicht 😅 Vor kurzem waren ja erst die pH-Probleme, unter denen sie zeitweise sichtbar gelitten haben.. Noch mehr Stress zu erzeugen war für mich keine Option . Allerdings hat mich der Gedanke gequält, dass ich durch die pH-Turbulenzen und die dadurch super unregelmäßigen Top-ups – um den Wert bis zum Eintreffen von pH Plus überhaupt wieder nach oben zu schieben – nicht mehr genau nachvollziehen konnte, wie mein Reservoir tatsächlich dasteht. Am Ende habe ich mich dazu entschieden, das System für die letzten Wochen oder Tage, je nachdem wie viel Zeit sie durch die vergangenen Probleme noch brauchen, zu etwa 3/4 zu resetten und nochmal sauber einzustellen =) Daraufhin ist mir nochmal der pH weggedriftet für 2 Tage, aber diesmal konnte ich das gut mit pH Plus auffangen. Für die nächste Runde wird auf jeden Fall Kaliumkarbonat mit eingeplant, um solche Späße von Anfang an zu vermeiden =)📊 Hab hier mein Wasser ein bisschen unterschätzt .. :D Rückblickend war die Entscheidung zum Wechsel genau richtig. Alles läuft wieder sauber und stabil, die Mädels sind happy und ich auch =D 🌱 Aktuell gebe ich nur noch täglich fünf Liter Wasser mit – Calcium, Magnesium, pH auf Res – hinzu. Damit fahre ich die Lösung langsam runter und halte den Wasserstand 📉 🌸 Pflanzenstatus & Training Blueberry Cupcake reift langsam aus =) Ich denke, sie wird als Erste soweit sein. Sie ist schön gefrostet ❄️, hat nochmal etwas zugelegt an Volumen und ihr Geruch hat sich gesetzt 🍇 Wirklich angenehm klar nach Blaubeere, nichts mehr Stechendes. Ihre Buds sehen auch einfach lecker aus 🤤 Bei ihr habe ich auch schon mit den ersten Trichom-Checks begonnen 😊 Purpz ist auch wieder da :D 💜 Sie hat wie BBCC noch etwas an Volumen gemacht und geht vermutlich ebenfalls langsam in den Endspurt. Ich bin echt gespannt, ob sie sich noch etwas verfärben wird in den nächsten Tagen, nach den Strapazen. Sonst auch wirklich schöne Buds bisher =) Den Geruch kann ich gar nicht mehr definieren 🤔 Süßlich, aber nicht penetrant vielleicht :D Auf jeden Fall nicht schlecht 😊 Hier checke ich aktuell auch schon langsam Trichome. Notorious sieht aktuell nicht schön aus, was leider zu erwarten war und klar auf meine Kappe geht ..🙃 Trotzdem, und das feiere ich wirklich, stackt sie noch leicht nach und macht wieder einen aktiven Eindruck🔥 Ihre kushige Erdnote ist noch vorhanden, und auch sonst macht sie bis auf die abgerauchten Blätter einen soliden Eindruck 😊 Mal schauen, wann sie so weit ist. Guzzlerz ist an Notorious optisch auf jeden Fall vorbeigezogen, sie hat schön zugelegt 🌿 Ich finde trotzdem irgendwie, dass sie aussieht, als würde sie am längsten brauchen =D 😅 Ihren Schimmer hat sie, finde ich, immer noch behalten 😊 Und auch hier freut es mich, dass das noch etwas geworden ist =D Nächste Woche wird sicher gut🔥 ⚙️ System Jetzt wieder Top-up-Logik weiterfahren 🔄 VPD: 1,20 kPa CO₂: 700–800 ppm EC: 1.400–1.500 µS/cm PPFD: 1.000 µmol/m²/s Danke mal wieder für die Zeit 😊 Wie immer eine schöne Woche und gesunde Plants euch 🌿

02/08 - Day 36 Girls are definitely pushing out budding sites all around. (A) & (D) are still stretching a great deal while (B) & (C) have seemed to slow down. Still feeding microbes and started using the Girl Flower Power as a tea. 02/11 - Day 39 Not too much to say. More and more pistils are pushing out and I have my light as high as it can go. Moved the two taller girls to the sides. 02/14 - Day 42 Went on vacation for the weekend and thankfully the stretch has stop because I’m out of head room! All the ladies seem to be doing well, although I'm not sure if my older bigger fan leaves should already be yellowing. Hopefully it’s just the progression of the strain and just cannibalizing the older leaves.

No more upwards growth. Buds fattening up now very dense already. Has a little smell to it at this point its quite fruity and sweet not the usual gassy smell just yet.

Plants growing slowly, having a problem with mold and I went and got hydrogen peroxide and that seems to control the area of it when sprayed.

Day 44, growing well.. One pheno has strange branch development. First time seeing this, she topped herself :) you can see on video.

Quite good result considering that she only got around 6h of sunlight, the buds didn't grew too big but they have a lot of THC, this is perfect for people who live in the city and just want to grow some small plants on the balcony without getting too much attention, the smell was really sweet and she offers a good resistance against bugs, and i didn't even applied any insecticide. We are going to use this plant to do a fresh frozen extraction 😁

I gave the plants a good trim to try and get more light to the lower buds and replaced the water and nutrients, negating the CANNA PK13/14. Buds are starting to take shape and smell fantastic—hopefully, I can harvest them in another couple of weeks. I have learned a lot from this grow and will be applying all the knowledge gained into the next.

💜 Week 6 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno A) Every Branch Finds Its Purpose One of the greatest joys of growing multiple phenotypes is watching each plant reveal its own personality over time. Some rush into flower with explosive enthusiasm, while others take their time, quietly building the structure that will support everything to come. Since germination, this Purple CousKush has chosen the second path. Growing under the same conditions as every other lady in the 8×8 Adventure, she has patiently developed an elegant framework before fully committing her energy to bloom. Now, as Week 6 unfolds, that patience is beginning to pay off. The structure she spent weeks building is finally coming to life, with every branch proudly carrying fresh clusters of white pistils. Rather than relying on a single dominant cola, she is transforming into a beautifully balanced plant where each branch has a role to play. Sometimes the best performances begin with a slow introduction. 🌱 Plant Development This week has been all about progression. Standing at approximately 76 cm, she remains one of the taller ladies in the 8×8 Adventure, displaying a graceful sativa-leaning structure with long internodes and excellent spacing between flowering sites. The stretch is still present but beginning to settle, allowing the plant to redirect more of her energy towards flower production. Bud sites are now clearly established across every branch, and each day the clusters of bright white pistils become a little larger and a little more defined. The low-stress training performed during the early weeks continues to show its value. Light penetrates deep into the canopy, airflow remains excellent, and nearly every branch has developed into a potential flowering top. It's easy to imagine how these long stems will eventually carry elegant, well-stacked colas from top to bottom. She isn't trying to be the most compact plant in the room. She's building something entirely different. 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, allowing uninterrupted development. • 12/12 light schedule from seed • Future of Grow Black Series LED delivering approximately 850 PPFD • Mammoth Pro tent with excellent airflow • Day temperature around 29°C • Night temperature around 25°C • Relative humidity averaging 60% • CO₂ approximately 639 ppm • pH 6.0 • EC 1.78 mS/cm The reduction in humidity compared to previous weeks has created an ideal environment for flowering, while the stable temperatures continue encouraging healthy growth without signs of stress. The foliage remains vibrant, the stems continue strengthening, and every indication suggests she's thoroughly enjoying the conditions provided. 💧 Feeding Program Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container and hand-watered with approximately 0.9 litres per irrigation, she continues responding beautifully to the current feeding schedule. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L The transition into full bloom nutrition has been seamless. Leaf colour remains healthy and balanced, while the developing flowers continue to expand without showing signs of deficiency or excess. Sometimes the best adjustment is simply knowing when not to change what is already working. 🌸 Phenotype Notes This Purple CousKush continues to remind me why growing from seed is always such a rewarding experience. Despite sharing identical genetics, environment, nutrition and lighting with the other plants in this project, she has developed an entirely unique character. Where some phenotypes chose density and compact growth, this lady has embraced height, openness and elegant branching. Her long internodes may appear unusual at first glance, but they're creating a structure with excellent light penetration and airflow—qualities that often become major advantages as flowering progresses. Rather than comparing her with the others, I prefer appreciating what makes her different. Every phenotype has something to teach us. 🔍 Looking Ahead With the majority of the stretch now behind her, I expect the coming weeks to focus increasingly on flower production. The framework is already in place. Now comes the exciting part. Each flowering site should gradually begin stacking along those beautifully spaced branches, slowly transforming this elegant structure into a canopy filled with long, resin-covered colas. If she continues following the path she's chosen so far, I wouldn't be surprised if she finishes with a very refined, classic sativa-style appearance despite her autoflower genetics. She's written the introduction. Now the story begins to unfold. 💭 Final Thoughts This week reminded me that successful cultivation isn't about making every plant look the same. It's about understanding that each one has its own rhythm, its own priorities and its own way of expressing the genetics hidden inside a tiny seed. This Purple CousKush has never tried to compete with the others. She simply continues becoming the best version of herself. Healthy. Elegant. Balanced. Confident. Watching that transformation unfold is one of the greatest rewards of this entire 8×8 Adventure. Sometimes the tallest stories are written one branch at a time. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Your encouragement, questions and shared experiences continue to make this project far more rewarding than if I were growing alone. A special thank you to the incredible companies helping make this grow possible: 💜 Zamnesia for the fantastic genetics. 💜 Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these ladies thriving. 💜 Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting. 💜 TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment throughout every stage of the grow. And finally, thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community. Whether you've been here since day one or have only recently joined this adventure, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment and every word of encouragement. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Nothing special this week, just watching them buds grow :)

Hello everyone, Well its getting kinda packed in the greenhouse so all i have for you guys is a little video, See you guys next week... 🤘🤘🤙🤙

July 11: ouch. A hail storm went through in the afternoon and shredded things pretty hard. Big old fan leaves were ripped apart while smaller leaves are fine. She will recover but it’s a bummer of a setback. July 16: removed some damaged fan leaves yesterday and adjusted scrog net today. The hail did damage but she is recovering.

Was a great grow. 1 gram shy of a quarter pound plant. Can't complain about that. Thanks again sweet seeds for making this available to the public. Also thank you grow diaries community for the likes, follows, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel. I greatly appreciate the support. I am always open to questions, if I can help anyone. Happy growing and be safe out there 👍💨💨💨🙃

Update 30/10 Purple : going well 2nd week of flowering perfectcly. Only issue : cal/Mag or ph deficiency New pH meter and adding the new biobizz cal/mag Master : the topped one is now really at the same rythme.. I defoliate a lot to try how she will react to be honest I am disappointed and I would ear space by loosing her... I don't know! So far expecting a nice yield from 2/3 Guys do you have any idea about when to harvest the purple?

🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊

La semana fue realmente bien, el metodo scrog le ha ido a la perfección y el HST que tuvo inicialmente igual 💪🔥 La semana que viene sera la última que aplicaremos nutrientes para empezar hacer un lavado de raices progresivo 👍 La producción de resina sigue en aumento y los cogollos siguen engordando y prensandose 💯 El olor es realmente potente al tocarlos un poco y los dedos se quedan totalmente pegados 👏 Una genetica realmente sorprendente y con muchas ganas de probar esta delicia 😋

They are really starting to show off there growth the runt has flew past what I thought she would be by this post. The one I topped is the one that’s the furthest in she’s stretching already and the others are still in veg . They are coming out beautifully though. The grow ace system is doing what it’s suppose to with no problems. Can’t wait to see what these ladies produce for me.

Not as much volume this time around but flowers look much better
