Last week! Just flushing out the lady and giving her some darkness in a colder spot in the basement! Can’t wait to harvest this one! Super strong cookie aroma! Dense, trichome coated, and sticky! ✌️🏻💚🌿💨. This light sure did the trick!

In the end of the flora. Maybe two more weeks (one week for rippen another week for flush) My first time hydro with scrog gone very well! Thanks a lot Jah =)

Been busy these past few weeks. 2 of the 4 plants didn’t survive an overly aggressive plant wash, so I had to pop more seeds. 1 of which appears to be a super strong pheno. Got the thrips and mites under control using beneficial nematodes in the soil and cucumeris predatory mite satchels at the base of the manifolds. Apparently the coco I used wasn’t pre buffered as advertised and I ran into a major magnesium deficiency. Could’ve been a lockout due to the dolomite lime I mixed into the medium, but if I had to guess I’d put my money on the coco hogging all of the mg in the worm castings. Top dressed with worm castings and Gaia green 4-4-4 all purpose, and then watered in max dose of cal mag+, cleared the deficiency up it appears. Lots of new lessons being learned this run. Still hopeful of a solid harvest at the end of the day.

Wow well she's finally finished! Crispy dry so it's time to weigh up. Over 200g!!!!!!!!! That's not bad FastBuds!! Well done guys. Very strong genetics. She grew well throughout. Also I'm currently making QWISO from all the leftover trim. Lets see how much it makes when it's all evaporated off. Update: I have a solid 6g of extract from all the otherwise wasted trim from this 1 plant! Will last ages 😁

Der Dünger wurde angepasst und sie vertragen die Menge sehr gut. Ich bin froh über das Netz, die Fruchtstände werden langsam viel zu groß für die Pflanzen und genießen es, ihre Blüten ablegen zu können.

Esta semana hice otro "topping". Ya veo muchas mejoras también gracias al nutri spray y al aumento del pH. Ya estamos empezando a ver algunas mejoras.

Last days with nutes. Peace to all ✌️🏽✌️✌️🏾✌️🏿✌️🏼✌️🏻 Day 59 : started to flush with ph'd water. Day 60 : flush 💦 Day 61 : flush💦 Day 62 : flush💦

This week was good did some defoliation and training to get some more growth out of side branches turn dem to crown......the baby that's in full flower is fatten up don't kno how much more fatter she will get jus have to wait and see...until then happy growing

She grew 4cm this week in height. She's doing her thing. Next few weeks should show some good growth.

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 9 🌿 No Drama. No Complaints. Just Beautiful Growth. Sometimes a plant gives you a story. Sometimes she gives you a problem to solve. And sometimes... she simply stands there looking absolutely beautiful and gives you nothing to complain about. Purple CousKush Pheno A is having one of those weeks. 💜 After last week's little reminder that even a good grower can occasionally miss a watering window 😂, this girl has completely put that chapter behind her. She's back to doing what she does. Growing. Building. Flowering. And doing it beautifully. The deep greens are still there. The flowering sites continue developing. The structure is looking stronger and more defined every week. And the whole plant has that feeling I love seeing at this stage: She's comfortable. There isn't anything I look at and think needs fixing. There isn't anything screaming for intervention. There isn't anything I want to change just for the sake of changing it. So this week, I'm doing something very simple. I'm stepping back. I'm watching. And I'm letting her shine. 🌸 Week 6 Flower – She's Finding Her Rhythm Purple CousKush Pheno A is now approximately 125 cm tall, and her overall architecture continues to be one of the things I really enjoy about this phenotype. She's tall enough to stand out in the room, but what really catches my attention isn't simply her height. It's the way she's using that structure. The branches are carrying flowering sites beautifully. The central structure continues developing alongside the side branches. And the flowers are becoming increasingly defined throughout the canopy. We're getting deeper into flowering now, and the plant is moving away from the explosive structural development of earlier weeks and increasingly toward flower production. And honestly? I like where she's going. Very much. 🌿 Deep Green & Beautifully Balanced The foliage is one of the first things I notice every time I look at her. That beautiful, deep green colour is still everywhere. The leaves look strong. The canopy looks healthy. And the plant has a very balanced appearance. There's no obvious nutritional drama. No major stress showing in the foliage. No reason for me to start chasing something that isn't actually a problem. She's simply green. Deep green. Healthy green. The kind of green that makes you look at a plant and think: "Yep. She's happy." 😂💚 And that's exactly what I want. 🌸 The Flowers Are Getting Serious The flowering sites continue developing beautifully. The buds are becoming more substantial, and the individual structures are starting to come together into more defined flowering clusters. The pistils remain prominent, creating that beautiful contrast against the darker foliage. And when you look closely, there's more and more happening inside those flowers every week. This is the stage where the plant starts becoming particularly rewarding to photograph. From a distance, you see the structure. Move closer... and suddenly there's another world happening inside every flower. Calyxes. Pistils. Resin. New layers of development appearing week after week. And Purple CousKush is giving us plenty to look at. 💜 The Name Is Starting To Feel Appropriate There's something particularly satisfying about watching a cultivar called Purple CousKush develop. We're obviously not going to write the harvest story before harvest. 😂 But there is already something about her appearance that makes the name feel appropriate. The structure. The flowers. The personality. And the way she's developing deeper into bloom. Whatever colours she ultimately decides to show us later in the journey, I'm perfectly happy to wait. That's another thing I've learned from this project: Don't force the story. Let the plant write it. If she gives us colours, beautiful. If she stays green, beautiful. If she surprises us with something completely different... even better. ✂️ After The Cleanup – Now We Leave Her Alone Last week we gave her a selective cleanup after she recovered from that accidental underwatering. That intervention was about removing unnecessary foliage and opening the structure. This week? Nothing dramatic. No need to go back in with the scissors. No need to keep manipulating her. She's got enough healthy foliage. She's got good flowering structure. She's got space. She's got light. She's got airflow. So now it's time for the most underrated part of cultivation: doing nothing. 😂 Sometimes knowing when to stop touching the plant is just as important as knowing when to intervene. She's doing beautifully. So let her do it. 💡 Let The Plant Use The Photons The Future of Grow Black Series lighting continues providing the primary light from above, with the Lumiflora under-canopy system adding another layer of illumination lower in the plant. At this stage, I'm particularly interested in watching how the flowers respond as they continue developing. The canopy has already been opened enough to improve the movement of light and air through the structure. Now the plant gets to take advantage of that environment. We don't need to constantly manipulate the canopy. The photons are already there. The plant is already capturing them. Now we simply watch what she does with that energy. And so far... she's turning it into some very beautiful flowers. 🌬️ A Balanced Plant Is A Happy Plant One of the things I appreciate most about Purple CousKush right now is the overall balance. The foliage. The structure. The flowering sites. The environment. Everything seems to be working together. That's what I'm looking for. Not perfection. Not some artificial idea of what a plant should look like. Just balance. Enough foliage to support photosynthesis. Enough open space for airflow. Enough light reaching through the structure. Enough flowering sites developing where they can make good use of that environment. And most importantly... a plant that looks like she isn't fighting anything. She's just growing. 🌿 One Week After The Lesson I also have to give this girl some credit. Last week she reminded me that watering mistakes happen. This week she basically said: "Okay. Are we finished talking about that now?" 😂 Yes, ma'am. We're finished. The important part is that she recovered beautifully and hasn't carried that moment forward. The plant is healthy. The flowers are developing. The leaves look excellent. And the overall progression is exactly where I want it. That's another reason I don't believe in panicking when something minor happens. Observe. Correct it. Give the plant time. Then watch. Sometimes the best evidence that everything is okay is simply what the plant does afterward. And Purple CousKush? She's doing just fine. 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation The flowering nutrition program continues without unnecessary changes. We're maintaining the established Plagron flowering approach and continuing to monitor the plant individually rather than changing things simply because another phenotype behaves differently. Current cultivation conditions remain around: 💧 pH: approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💦 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h ? Pot: 15 L The biggest change from last week isn't the numbers. It's the observation. After the little watering lesson, I'm paying close attention to her irrigation needs and making sure she doesn't have to ask for another drink quite so dramatically. 😂 Healthy dry-back? Fine. A wilted Purple CousKush waving at me? Message received. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running with the same stable flowering environment: ☀️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🌬️ CO₂: approximately 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 That consistency is becoming increasingly important as flowering progresses. The plants are now carrying substantial flowering structures, and keeping the environment predictable gives them the best opportunity to continue developing without unnecessary interruptions. Purple CousKush seems perfectly comfortable inside that environment. And when a plant is comfortable... I don't see a reason to complicate things. 🌸 Flowers, Structure & Potential This is where my curiosity really starts increasing. Purple CousKush Pheno A has already built a very respectable framework. Now we're watching that framework become flowers. The branches are carrying increasingly developed sites. The buds are becoming more pronounced. The foliage remains beautifully green. And the overall structure continues looking strong. We're getting closer to the point where the plant's final architecture will become much easier to judge. But we're not there yet. There's still plenty of development ahead. So I'm not going to predict the ending. I'm just going to enjoy watching her get there. 🔬 One Plant, One Phenotype, One Story This is one of the reasons I love documenting every individual plant in the 8×8 Adventure. If I simply photographed the entire room, I'd see a beautiful canopy. But when I isolate Purple CousKush Pheno A... I see her personality. She's energetic. She's tall. She's structurally beautiful. She's developing flowers consistently. And she's remarkably resilient. Last week gave us one little lesson. This week gives us something much simpler: consistency. And sometimes consistency is the most beautiful thing a plant can give you. 🔭 Looking Ahead – Let's See Where She Takes Us Now I'm genuinely curious about the next few weeks. How much more will those flowers swell? How much more resin will develop? How will the pistils progress? Will her colours change as she gets deeper into maturity? How will the final structure reveal itself? And ultimately... what is this particular Purple CousKush phenotype going to give us? I have no idea yet. And that's exactly how I like it. Because the whole point is to watch. Not predict. Not force. Not write the ending before the story is finished. Just watch her move. And she's moving beautifully. 💜 Final Thoughts – No Complaints Whatsoever I think sometimes we growers spend so much time talking about problems that we forget to celebrate the weeks where there simply aren't any. So let's celebrate this one. Purple CousKush Pheno A is doing beautifully. She's got those deep, deep greens I love. She's carrying beautiful flowers. Her bud structure is developing nicely. She's growing consistently. She's recovered completely from last week's little watering lesson. The canopy is balanced. The plant looks comfortable. And honestly... I have no complaints. None. She's simply doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. That's all I really want from her right now. Keep growing. Keep building. Keep flowering. Keep showing me what your genetics decided to become. And I'll keep watching. Because every week she gives me another reason to look twice. Purple CousKush Pheno A doesn't need a dramatic story this week. She doesn't need a problem. She doesn't need a big intervention. She just needs her spotlight. And she deserves it. 💜✨ A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful Purple CousKush genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing additional light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for environmental control, and of course to everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has her own personality. Every week adds another chapter. And Purple CousKush Pheno A? She's simply moving forward. Beautifully. Consistently. And without giving me anything to complain about. So let's give this girl the spotlight one more time. Deep green. Beautiful flowers. Beautiful structure. No complaints. 💜🌿✨ Until next week... Keep doing your thing, Purple CousKush. I'll be watching. Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

ITA: siamo giunti quasi alla fine del viaggio. Ho tolto tutta la soluzione presente nel sistema e l'ho sostituita con acqua del rubinetto senza sali. Le piante resteranno così dai 2 ai 4 giorni per il lavaggio delle radici. Insieme all'acqua ho utilizzato Flora Kleen (ex flush kleen) della GHE, a concentrazione di 2ml al litro. La raccolta si avvicina!!!! edit: ho finalmente raccolto le piante ma che fatica ragazzi! In 4 ci abbiamo messo tutto il pomeriggio e le prime ore della sera per finire di trimmare!! Ho tagliato le piante ramo per ramo in modo che l'essiccazione sia più veloce. Ho appeso i rami in una box 80x80cm con all'interno un deumidificatore e un estrattore da 10mm. L'umidità oscilla dal 48% al 55%, direi ottimo! Aggiornerò il diario dopo aver pesato le cime secche e dopo alcune settimane di concia per la smoke review ENG: we have almost reached the end of the journey. I removed all the solution in the system and replaced it with salt-free tap water. The plants will remain in this way for 2 to 4 days for washing the roots. Together with the water I used Flora Kleen (formerly flush kleen) from GHE, at a concentration of 2ml per liter. The harvest is approaching !!!! edit: I finally harvested the plants but what an effort guys! 4 of us took the whole afternoon and early evening to finish trimming !! I cut the plants branch by branch so that drying is faster. I hung the branches in an 80x80cm box with a 10mm dehumidifier and extractor inside. The humidity ranges from 48% to 55%, I would say excellent! I will update the diary after weighing the dry buds and after a few weeks of tanning for the smoke review

Just waiting for the malana bomb to finish drying then ill chop this and pop it in the box for drying. Lots of Amber visible and the foxtailing is getting worse so wanna do it as soon as possible. Hoping it'll be nice and couch lock.

6/13/2023 Week 10- Day 1 of Flower (Day 131 overall) (Day 70 of Flower) Auto Pilot Day 6.. Checked the Trichomes and the bud density and both are looking good.. Definitely needs a little more time for the Trichomes to be where I like, so based on my check I think we are still looking right around the end of the competition 22June to be done and ready for harvest. I do like that the fade is coming in the leaves nicely, so my chart I think is dropping off the Nitrogen exactly like it is supposed to. 6/14/2023 Week 10- Day 2 of Flower (Day 132 overall) Auto Pilot Day 7.. Decided I would take some contrasting pics today with my light up to 100 and my light all the way on Dim. I hope you enjoy the pics. 6/15/2023 Week 10- Day 3 of Flower (Day 133 overall) Auto Pilot Day 8.. Decided to take a look at the Trichome's today and Check to see where they are at and honestly if I might ho ahead and start my flush tomorrow and harvest on Sunday. 6/16/2023 Week 10- Day 4 of Flower (Day 134 overall) (Day 74 of Flower) Today I pulled an Armageddon however instead of darkness they are going to get 48 hours of light. The reason why they are going to get light instead of dark is when I was taking out the netting a lot of the buds were so heavy they fell over and exposed some areas I really want to get some light to... so 48 hours of light at 40% while I watch what should be a beautiful final fade as the plant eats up the last Nutes. If anything goes wrong I can abort take the photos and cut so will pay really close attention to how it is looking over the next 48 hours. Added 30 Gallons of PH only Water. Reduced Lighting to 40% removed program time off. 48 hours of light. 6/17/2023 Week 10- Day 5 of Flower (Day 135 overall) (Day 75 of Flower) I had someone tell me that a few growers had done as I did and Gone Armageddon on the plants. Filling it with PH only and said the plants did not respond well and they were taken out of the comp at the very end because they felt like the pictures just wouldn't come out right. Even though I did go Armageddon, The PPM is at 353PPM with the residue of what was left in the buckets after draining as well as what I am getting from the TAP so I think they are doing good but I am checking them every few hours to see how they seem to be doing and I think they are doing good still and are on track. I also started prepping the area for the pics tomorrow T-24 Hours until Chop 6/18/2023 Week 10- Day 6 of Flower (Day 136 overall) (Day 76 of Flower) (Harvest Day) What a day.. what a day.. what a day.. as I was setting up and trying to figure out how I was going to get my pics #3 stems started breaking, it fell over and other stems broke.. So no really stunning competition photo for her, she had such a nice purple fade.. #2 stayed up in the Tent so that is the one I had to go with to submit for the contest. I wet trimmed them as they went into the tent and they took up three rows hanging in tent. I also decided I wanted to try some so I put a little in the freeze dryer for a 48 hour smoke test.. I will weigh it and add that to my total weight for the plants when it is all done.

Starting to shine, using BT spray and dawn dish soap of pest.

Another week is over, I couldn't update it before because I think the site was having problems... but anyway, the last photos were from 06/08 and it's time to harvest... The smell is great and the flowers are super resinous! Happy growing! 🌱🌱🌱

Started seeds in distilled water. 18hours later taproots were showing, so I poured onto paper towel and left for 24hours. When taproots are about an inch long I will pop into soil

Trichomes are getting more cloudy; everything's good ! I reckon 4/5 more weeks to go. Have a good week my dudes ! ;)
