🌿 Week 4 – Purple CousKush Auto #12 | Plant A Taking the Lead | 8×8 Adventure One tent. One lighting schedule. One feeding program. The exact same environment. Yet every single plant continues to write her own story. That’s the beauty of this 8×8 Adventure and one of the main reasons I’ve chosen to document every phenotype individually. Growing from seed always brings surprises, and under the 12/12 From Seed experiment, those differences become even more fascinating. This week, the spotlight belongs to Purple CousKush Auto #12 – Plant A. While her sister (Plant B) is only just beginning to settle into pre-flowering, Plant A has already taken a noticeable step forward. Her structure has become more defined, the stretch has quietly begun, and those first flowering sites are now appearing all across the canopy. She’s clearly telling me she’s ready for the next chapter. ⸻ 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure Continues Every week inside this room reminds me that no two plants ever read the same script. Running twelve different cultivars together under a fixed 12-hour photoperiod has become an incredible learning experience. Some varieties rush toward reproduction almost immediately, while others prefer investing more time building branches before flowering. Purple CousKush Plant A seems to have found a wonderful balance between the two. She has built a compact yet well-structured canopy and is now confidently transitioning into bloom without sacrificing healthy vegetative growth. Watching these individual personalities develop is what makes this project so rewarding. ⸻ 🌿 Gentle guidance instead of heavy intervention Training this week remained simple and intentional. The majority of the work has consisted of leaf tucking, allowing larger fan leaves to be repositioned rather than removed. It’s amazing how much additional light can reach developing shoots simply by moving a leaf a few centimeters. Alongside that, I’ve continued some very gentle Low Stress Training, encouraging the branches to spread naturally and create a more even canopy. With autoflowers, I always try to let the plant lead the conversation. Rather than forcing a particular shape, I simply guide the branches where they already want to grow, opening the structure without slowing her momentum. Plant A has responded beautifully. The side branches are now catching up, the center remains open, and new flowering sites are beginning to appear across almost every growing tip. ⸻ ☀️ Beating the summer heat Summer has definitely arrived here. Keeping a grow room comfortable during these warmer weeks becomes a challenge all on its own, even with air conditioning running continuously. Daytime temperatures have been reaching 33°C, while humidity has remained around 63%, creating conditions that demand constant monitoring and small environmental adjustments. Fortunately, the plants continue responding extremely well. Healthy green leaves. Strong stems. Excellent vigor. No signs of nutrient stress or environmental fatigue. Sometimes successful growing isn’t about having perfect numbers… It’s about maintaining stability when nature refuses to cooperate. ⸻ 💧 Week 4 Feeding The nutrient program remains unchanged, providing everything the plants need as they transition into early flower. Feed per litre • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Solution parameters: • EC: 1.35 mS/cm • pH: 6.1 The combination continues producing exactly what I like to see—healthy colour, vigorous new growth, and a plant that’s asking for more light every single day. ⸻ 🌸 First signs of flower Plant A is now clearly ahead of her sister in development. Pre-flower is becoming increasingly obvious, with fresh pistils emerging throughout the upper nodes and new growth beginning to take on that unmistakable early flowering appearance. The stretch is only just beginning, but it’s already easy to imagine how this canopy will develop over the coming weeks. The gentle LST performed earlier is paying off nicely, creating multiple future flowering tops instead of relying on one dominant main cola. It’s still early… But the foundations are there. And they’re looking very promising. ⸻ 🌱 Looking ahead Over the next week I’m expecting Plant A to continue stretching while stacking more flowering sites throughout the canopy. The goal remains exactly the same: Maintain an open structure. Keep every future bud site exposed to quality light. Support healthy root development. And simply let the plant express her genetics at her own pace. One of the greatest lessons from this project has been learning not to compare plants against each other, but to appreciate each one for what she naturally wants to become. Purple Kush Plant A is already showing plenty of character, and I have a feeling she’s only just getting started. ⸻ A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure, reading these updates, leaving comments, sharing ideas, and making this journey even more enjoyable. Your support genuinely motivates me to document every phenotype individually so we can all learn together. Massive thanks as well to Plagron for keeping these ladies thriving with an outstanding nutrient line, and to Zamnesia for providing fantastic genetics that make projects like this possible. Growers Love and see you all next week, where Plant A will continue writing her own story—one leaf, one branch, and soon… one beautiful flower at a time. 🌿💚

Buds are not as big as I'd hoped going into the 6th week of flowering. Not sure if it's got anything to do with it, but it's been quite warm this week. It's cooling down next few days so hopefully can get the temp back down below 30c with the lights on. A couple more of the lower leaves have yellowed and dropped off, and now there's a clear canopy area between the leaves at the base of the colas and medium, which should help with airflow. There's been no noticeable vertical growth beyond colas getting taller so I've dialed the biogrow back a bit more, and will probably stop using it all together from next week onwards.

9/27/2018 Been a rainy damp week,cooler nights, no moulds as of yesterday and will update photos shortly if weather permits. Speak of the Devil, this am #2 has two spots of mould,cut ✂️ out,and trashed. All others no mould, #4 is covered with sand it keeps getting blown over!.#2 fading, #1 still Growing nice green very little fade just lower leaves lots of new pistils,#3 all hairs gone brown, and smells like Real old school Skunk!👍not much bud but still have couple weeks of flowering to fatten up and taste of Skunk getting me excited😁 10/02/2018 Week 7, day 5. Rainy days still very little mould just #3 so far. #1 looking fantastic.#2 pistils brownish,#3 pistils all brownish red dont see any New pistils but branches drooping from their weight #4 is still popping New flowers but lots brown all over, hope 2 weeks to finish! But cold is coming soon. #1 no signs of slowing down putting out lots of fresh flowers! Does not mind the cooler weather. Last bit of molasses to super charge microbes in the soil. Hope she comes in at 8-10 weeks👍 53-70 days flowering.

April 27: start of week 3 (day 15) i pick off fanleaves here and there not all at once, one last heavy defoliation at the end of the week The cannopy is 40cm deep and 80cm diagonal

Passage en floraison le 10 septembre 😍 début du stretch intéressant maintenant que je connais bien la variété je peux m'amuser dans la culture 😍 objectif 175g 😍

Frosty

soooo purrrrrddddyyyy! I'm thinking i'm about a week out but well see. Today is 54 of flowering. Noticed the first dying leaves a couple days ago but its coming on slow. The trichs are just craaazzzzzy!!! lol i hope shes a potent as she looks!!! hahhaa so many !!!!!!! but i'm excited!!! hahahha well, i hope the finish is smooth and we have a nice harvest here 😁

MONDAY 5/19 12AM The Witches Wedding started growing balls so I hope she doesnt pollenate these!!! 5/30/25 3am!! 🚨 THREE COLA VS.4 COLA EXPERIMENT. Today I'll be doing a weight comparison. It looks as iff 3 cola may perform as well as a 4 cola while giving extra space for air and leaf growth. I like 3 or 4 plants in the small tents. I ENJOY growing and getting to know all the different kinds of strains. SO 3 COLA, in 1 gallon, small space limited fresh air, limited power OR. heat will kill everything. lack of space means lack of air movement. If I can get the same amount from 3 colas THEN I can grow SAFLEY without PROBLEMS from lack of light or air....... more plants fewer colas but the SAME amount of weed. Todays weight test should either prove or disprove 3 colas in small spaces 3 plants 9 main colas with training to make SURE its a transfer of energy without entropy. suck on that fucknewton, he was a loser. I shit on your 2nd law of motion. 🚨 630am Just weighed both plants: THREE COLA 26.67. FOUR COLA 28.75 ounce. WHAT 4 COLA is bigger? Not necessarily. PER COLA the 3 cola plant has 8.89 PER COLA. FOUR COLA has 7.1875 ounce. 1.7025oz difference. 3 Cola has more viable buds at the bottom of the plant because of the extra light and airflow!! CONCLUSION: IM LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF MY TIME. nope it was the energy drink. Taking into consideration I dont like trimming and each cola can be easily lightly trimmed (I dont grow to keep leaves for shake, not worth the mess) then hung to dry, then cut the buds off directly into Grove Terp. Loc bag with minimal trimming and it's DONE. NO STUPID trim jail, big mess....none of that. clean and simple. BOTH the plants are dry therefore the per cola including the whole plant is not a final it's a pretty good indicator. 230pm Water with 10+10 Con pH 5.8. the video I uploaded wont play, I cut the sound and try a ..STONED GENIE order..I got one broken 64 dollar land the 12 inch 19 dollar black double percolator was TOTAL GARBAGE!!!!! it had a fake 10 star review.... at least I got 2 4 inch down stems for 117 .....complete WASTE of money, should have just thrown the money in the garbage.......... so pissed.... .🚨🚨🚨.STONED GENIE order..I got one broken 64 dollar land the 12 inch 19 dollar black double percolator was TOTAL GARBAGE!!!!! it had a fake 10 star review.... at least I got 2 4 inch down stems for 117 .....complete WASTE of money, should have just thrown the money in the garbage.......... so pissed....🚨🚨 🚨cant get videos to upload and play, might delete everything. not one fucking video plays, when I talk into the phone it doesnt save text....I will be deleting all diaries and this account. 5/25 413am HOLDY shitlt they are looking amazing, OHLY 93 WATTS!!!!!! not much heat, no bad burns with the lights close good air they are very very happy and healthy. what a massive difference from autos, I forgot how much you get, but I love autos too.

I think 12 liter airpot was too small, i opened the pot and was one rootball

Plant fuckin enormous especially if you look back at how it started. Node spacing is pretty wide and it's not a leafy plant BC the fan leaves are literally there on each bud site, light penetration clearly isn't an issue just gotta feed this amazon and pray at this point. She also smells like lemons

Final week, lots of trimming, all good so far.

Flushing is in progress. Big buds plant. Small yield

Day 71-31/12/21 some have a good two weeks yet might take one down tomorrow!!!! Day 76-05/01/22 chopped one down yesterday 19more to go night take some more down tomorrow!!!

Not that much happening, I had some night temperature issues but that is fixed now with a heater I still have her on a 12/12 because she is in a room with 3 photoperiods, but in a week or 3 they will be switched to a 18/6 light cycle 👌🏻 Good growing everyoneee!

🍃

Has a great taste not too strong of a buzz but just right night time. Cdb numbing effect… this was the smelliest plant ive grown so far. I wanted to make fem seeds but seems like it was unsuccessful using. Colloidal silver. I see one weird looking seed but don’t know if it’s viable. Callin this a half win because the bud is good . Will grow again when i have more space because i have a seed left. Thanks seedsman. Solid auto genetics send me more autos please lol
