She's growing nicely. She's staying indoors this summer. This is suppose to be a good medical strain for headaches/migraines, I'm hopeful for my migraines will diminish with this strain.

Beautiful take off from these ladies with the Wedding Cake Roots already touching water!

Week 7 - 08/11 - Topped most of the plant so far - LST tied down all main colas - Had an issue with the PH - has since been neutralized - clean water feeds for the next 2 weeks - prepping for transplant into 7 gallon pot.

One out of two germinated seeds have now sprouted. Started the seedling nutrient diet. As you can see, I've moved the rockwool cube to the hydro setup. The tap root was showing so it was time. My nutrient schedule is in the pictures. For reference, I'm using a total volume of 24 L between the two buckets. For now we're enjoying the summer harvest. Well, we are harvesting. A lot. I'm questioning my sanity growing yet more, lol. I do it for the fun and glory. Also, yay pot!

Well well well! We made it to week 3 of flower and everything is just fine. Hahahahaha! Much excite! 11/11/2025 So here we are! Ready for a new week and some new stuff to look at. Over the last couple weeks we've been focused on upward outward growth. Height and leaf structure. Roots and nutes. (Had to tune there. Just had to do it.) But now that the stretch has basically ended, it's time to focus on the buds. We're going to focus on the lowers this run. I feel like tho This week we are changing some things. I've decreased the humidity down to 45% and increased the temp to 78°. I might drop it back down to 75°, but I've read you can have it warmer and brighter with CO2 in the mix. And I happen to have CO2 in the mix. So I'm trying it out. Plus, I think the plants are looking for more light. They are praying a bit I increased the light intensity to 90%. It should be around 850 PPFD. I know that's a bit high for an autoflower, but these 2 are definitely enjoying the light. As for the solution, it's stays the same this week. I set the pH to 5.9 as I have read a slightly higher pH is good for the flowering stage. Probably helps with specific nutrient uptake. Papaya Cookies is looking fantastic. I noticed that she has a circle of tops all leaning out and making a nice open canopy. As for any ailments, I don't see anything anymore. I got rid of all the leaves with any type of issue on them and am now at all fresh growth. And some of the older leaves just to keep some energy coming in. Thos of course wasn't today. But the circle of tops looks great. I may have to use the scrog net. We shall see. Lemon Cherry Cookies also looks fantastic. She has tops everywhere. Nothing leaning out, but a pretty even spread of tops all over. I did notice that she got a little bit taller than Papaya Cookies. But I'm not sure when that happened. They were perfectly level the other day. Now she's about an inch taller than her counterpart. Maybe a bit more. Something tells me this little lady has a bit more growth in her. I'm just not seeing it. Hopefully she gets over 24". That's what I want. 2 ft plant. I'd prefer a 3 ft plant, but I can't have everything. This one will do just fine. Tons of bud sites. Lots of light and air flow. Perfectly fed. I also need to address the fact that I won't be cleaning out my buckets this week. There's no change in nutrients, and I made sure to at least wipe the sides of the bucket just over the water. There's a lot of air and water circulation, so I'm not all that worried about anything slimy or icky. There's just no point. They are getting just under a gallon of fresh water every day. So it eventually replaces the older water and depleted nutrients. Anyway, rant over. Lol. Oh no! I just spilled my humidifier! Shit!... Well that sucked. Anyway, I have these new grow tent duct vents. They are supposed to block out the light and let the air in. The ones I got go on the 8" ports on the bottom of my tent. Good airflow. That's all for now.

8/2/25 purple, tall and looks happy right now. A little slow on the bud production so far but that's okay.

Pics are from day 19, which is the day I topped all the plants. Topped them for a second time a little early - should have waited a couple of days for the new growth. No real damage done though and a lesson learned. Topped to the 3rd node, stripping everything below, and topped each "stork" at the next node creating 4 main branches per plant. Seen a little cal deficiency, but increasing the feed concentration to 2.5ml p/l of each will nutrient type sort that out in the coming week. Will be transplanting to 5 gallon pots in the coming week, once the plants have bounced back from the heavy mainlining techniques they've just been through.

Second week of flowering, the girl is getting very healthy, all previous symptoms have disappeared. I am continuing the LST by pulling some rods in a way that all the tops are receiving direct light (Wish I have a scrog network to make the job more efficient) and I defoliated and cutted some buds and lower leaves that did not reach the light. Next week, I'm thinking of turning on the dehumidifier, trying to lower the humidity below 50% See you next week Happy growth guys

What up, what up. Weekly update on these ladies. They're progressing nicely. Some are a little smaller then all the rest so I'll germinate a few more seeds to replace those. Only like 3 so not to bad and shouldn't be to far behind from the others. Over all Happy Growing

😫Been a tuff week as my ph pen failed so had signs of defiantly But that’s now corrected so hope it didn’t set them all back too much

Eccoci arrivati al termine..amici grower missione compiuta anche con questa watermelon.ora che sia anche bella dolce e forte soprattutto 🤣😂💪✌️🕉️ boom Shiva Shankar

Plant are under the structure i build. It will he used to provide shade, protection against moths and shelter from heavy late summer rains. Every now and then plants were trained through LST. I watered twice a day about 2% of total volume.

very big buds not so dense but still very good i guess left side acid dough right side black domina

T- 23 days

🌱 Week 2 – Purple CousKush Auto | Pheno B | Building the Foundation Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of my 8×8 Adventure, where every seed gets the opportunity to tell its own story. This diary follows Purple CousKush Auto – Pheno B, and while her sister surprised me with an unusual mutation during the first weeks of life, this lady has chosen a different path. She is developing with beautiful symmetry, strong vigor, and exactly the kind of structure that makes a grower smile every time the tent opens. Every phenotype teaches something different, and that’s exactly why I enjoy documenting them individually. ⸻ 🌿 Week 2 Development This week has been all about establishing a strong foundation before explosive vegetative growth begins. From the very beginning, Purple CousKush B has shown excellent vigor. Her internodal spacing remains tight, the stem is becoming noticeably thicker, and every node is producing healthy new shoots with vibrant green growth. The leaves are broad, healthy, and reaching confidently toward the light, showing no signs of nutrient deficiencies or environmental stress. Compared to last week, the increase in biomass is obvious. She has transitioned from a small seedling into a young plant that is now preparing for the next stage of development. Everything looks balanced. Everything looks happy. ⸻ 🌱 Beginning Low Stress Training This week also marked the beginning of her first Low Stress Training (LST). Rather than forcing the plant into shape later, I prefer to begin gently while the stems are still flexible. The main stem has been carefully bent, encouraging the plant to redistribute auxins away from the dominant top and toward the lower branches. This simple technique allows more growing tips to receive equal light while keeping the canopy flatter for the weeks ahead. One thing I always appreciate about LST is that it works with the plant rather than against it. There is no cutting. No high-stress recovery. Just gentle guidance. Even after the initial bending, she responded beautifully. The side branches immediately began reaching upward, showing exactly why this training method has become one of my favorites for autos. Watching a plant adapt within hours never gets old. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Health Overall health continues to impress. Thick central stem Strong lateral branching Excellent leaf color Tight internodal spacing Healthy vigorous new growth The foliage remains lush without appearing overly dark, suggesting that nutrition is right where it should be. She’s developing into a compact but powerful little bush that should have no problem supporting a heavy canopy later in flower. ⸻ 🌍 Environment The entire room continues to provide an ideal environment for vigorous vegetative growth. Temperature, humidity and VPD remain within the target range, creating stable conditions that allow each phenotype to express its genetics without unnecessary stress. Consistent airflow keeps fresh CO₂ moving throughout the canopy while strengthening stems naturally, and the lighting continues delivering an even PPFD across the entire garden. Healthy roots create healthy plants, and maintaining environmental stability is just as important as choosing the right nutrients. ⸻ 🌱 Nutrition Purple CousKush Auto is growing in Plagron substrate, receiving the same carefully controlled feeding schedule as the rest of the 8×8 project. This run is built around the Plagron nutrient line, supplying everything needed for healthy root expansion and vigorous vegetative growth while avoiding unnecessary excesses during these early weeks. Rather than pushing rapid growth, my goal is to establish a strong root system first. Healthy roots become healthy stems, healthy stems support healthy branches, and healthy branches eventually become beautiful flowers. As always, balance beats excess. ⸻ 📸 This Week’s Observations One of the things I enjoy most is comparing sisters grown under identical conditions. Same room. Same lighting. Same nutrients. Same environment. Yet every plant still develops its own personality. While Pheno A became the little rebel, Pheno B is showing textbook development, responding perfectly to gentle LST and already building the structure that should carry her through flowering. Both are beautiful. Just beautifully different. That’s the magic hidden inside every seed. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I’ll continue adjusting the LST little by little, allowing the secondary branches to rise evenly while maintaining a low, open canopy. The goal isn’t simply to make the plant shorter. The goal is to create an even platform where every future cola receives equal access to light and airflow. For now, there is no need to rush. She’s exactly where she should be. Healthy. Strong. Growing with confidence. ⸻ Thank you to Plagron for providing the foundation for this grow, Zamnesia for helping make this incredible project possible, and Grow Diaries for giving growers around the world a place to share, learn, and inspire one another. And thank you for following another week of this 8×8 Adventure. Whether a plant follows the textbook or decides to write its own chapter, every phenotype has something to teach us—and that’s what makes this journey so rewarding. Growers Love and see you all in Week 3. 🌱💚
