The little one is slowly starting to feel quite comfortable in her new home. Light Power: 60% Day 26 Photoshooting Topping Day 31 Photoshooting

Day 65 : This lady started to make amber some of the trichomes. So today i flushed this mature lady with around 50L+ . Runout before flush was 1300ppm. After flush the runout was 400ppm. I decided to stop there. The plan is the next watering to be with pure water and when she drinks it chop chop. I goal for 15%-20% of amber. Now lets say that we are between 5%-10%. She has big heavy nuggs, not long but fat enough. LST was perfect on this lady, almost all colas are in the same height and growth. Edit Day 69 : The nuggs are very thick, Stills i don't see the number of them that i want. So i watered with pure water and continue till is ready. Leaves started to getting yellowish, so flush was successful.

..We will see what she offers outdoor ... starting the fall ... with previous crops in the fall winter ... they are not very productive harvests ... so I will help them grow. If it were summer ... thanks royal queen ....

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 9 🌿 Elegant, Green & Right On Point Some plants make you work for the compliments. Others simply stand there and make you smile. Purple CousKush Pheno B is definitely becoming one of those plants. Week after week, she has maintained the same quiet elegance that made me like her from the beginning. She isn't trying to dominate the room. She isn't trying to become the tallest. She isn't demanding constant intervention. She's simply growing. And growing beautifully. This week, I'm looking at her and seeing something I really love: consistency. The plant is healthy. The structure is beautiful. The foliage is incredibly lush and deep green. The flowers are developing exactly where I want them to be. And those little developing buds are starting to take on that beautiful golf-ball-like formation, with the flowers becoming increasingly defined along the branches. She is simply... on point. Exactly where she should be. And honestly? She's a delight to grow. 🌸 Week 6 Flower – Right Where She Needs To Be Purple CousKush Pheno B remains around 96 cm, keeping her firmly in the more compact category of the 8×8 Adventure. But by now, I've stopped looking at her height as a limitation. It's simply part of who she is. She's built a compact, balanced architecture and she's using it extremely well. The branches are carrying developing flowers. The bud sites are becoming more pronounced. The structure is filling in. And the entire plant has that beautiful feeling of a flowering plant moving confidently through her cycle. There is no rush. No drama. No obvious need for correction. She's just progressing. And at this point in flowering, that's exactly what I want to see. 💚 That Green... Let's talk about the colour. Because honestly... look at her. That deep, lush green is one of the first things that catches my eye every time I look at this plant. The foliage has that rich, healthy appearance that makes the flowers stand out beautifully against it. And I'm starting to think there's something bigger happening here. Across this 8×8 Adventure, I'm seeing remarkably lush foliage on a lot of these girls. And while genetics obviously play an enormous role — enormous — I'm increasingly convinced that the quality and consistency of the nutrition program are also contributing to what we're seeing. Good genetics give you the potential. Good nutrition helps the plant express that potential. And when the two come together under a stable environment... That's when things get interesting. So this week, I definitely want to give Plagron some extra love. Because I'm genuinely impressed by the overall health and colour we're seeing throughout this run. But let's be very clear: It starts with genetics. Without good genetics, there is only so much a grower can do. You can have the best environment. The best lights. The best nutrition. The best equipment. But you still need a plant with something worth expressing. And these Purple CousKush girls are giving us exactly that. Genetics first. Then cultivation. Then environment. And when those pieces come together... you get plants like this. 🌸 The Buds Are Starting To Look Like Little Golf Balls This is probably my favourite visual change this week. The individual flowering sites are becoming increasingly rounded and substantial. Those little clusters are beginning to look almost like small golf balls forming along the branches. Not finished flowers. Not mature colas yet. But clearly developing structures that are gaining shape and volume. And surrounded by those beautiful white pistils? Absolutely gorgeous. The contrast between the deep green leaves, the developing green flower structures and those bright white hairs is something I could photograph all day. Every week, the flowers become a little more defined. A little more substantial. A little more recognizable. And that's when you start realizing just how quickly flowering is moving. She's building. Quietly... but she's building. ? Those White Hairs The pistils remain beautifully prominent across the flowers. Bright. Fresh. White. And reaching outward from the developing calyxes. They're one of those visual indicators that make the progression of flowering so easy to appreciate when you're documenting the same plant week after week. You look at a photograph from several weeks ago. Then you look at her now. And suddenly you see it. The flowers have changed. The structure has changed. The plant has matured. She's no longer simply starting to flower. She's becoming a flowering plant. And we're getting closer and closer to seeing what this phenotype ultimately wants to become. 🌿 No Need To Touch What Isn't Broken One thing I particularly appreciate about this phenotype is how little she asks from me. The canopy doesn't look like it needs another major intervention. The structure is open enough. The flowers have space. The foliage is healthy. Air can move through the plant. Light can reach the important areas. So I'm not going to manufacture work. There's a temptation in cultivation to always be doing something. Cut this. Move that. Remove another leaf. Adjust something. Change something. But sometimes... the plant is telling you to leave her alone. And I'm listening. She's doing beautifully. So she gets to keep doing beautifully. 💡 Light, Structure & Flower Development The lighting strategy remains consistent, with the Future of Grow Black Series providing the primary overhead light and the Lumiflora system adding light beneath the canopy. The interesting part now isn't whether the plant has light. She does. The interesting part is how she's using the environment we've created. Her compact structure gives her a naturally efficient architecture. The flowering sites are distributed through the plant rather than being buried inside an excessively dense mass. And with the canopy management we've already done earlier in the run, we're now in the phase where I want to let the plant use the space we've created. We're not chasing perfection. We're not trying to expose every flower. We're simply giving her a good environment and allowing her genetics to do the rest. And she's doing exactly that. 💜 Same Genetics. Different Personality. Her sister continues to be one of the great examples of why phenotypes are so fascinating. Same strain. Different expression. Different architecture. Different personality. And that's exactly why I love growing multiple phenotypes side by side. You can read the breeder's description. You can read the genetics. You can read what other growers experienced. But eventually... you have to grow the plant yourself. And then she tells you the truth. Purple CousKush Pheno B has told me that she likes being compact. She likes building a balanced structure. She likes staying relatively low. And apparently... she really likes making beautiful little flower clusters. 😂💜 I'm perfectly happy with that. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure Is Showing Its Personality This is one of my favourite aspects of this entire project. Twelve different genetic expressions. One room. One general cultivation philosophy. One environment. And yet... completely different plants. Some stretch. Some stay low. Some become monsters. Some become little jewels. Some need intervention. Some practically tell you: "Doctor, please stop touching me. I'm doing fine." 😂 Purple CousKush Pheno B belongs firmly in that last category. And I respect her wishes. 💧 Feeding & Irrigation The flowering nutrition program continues with the established Plagron lineup: 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 recorded conditions are approximately: 💧 pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: around 2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💦 Watering: approximately 1.2 L / 24h ? Pot size: 15 L And again, I want to emphasize something I've been noticing throughout this run. The foliage quality is impressive. That doesn't come from one magic bottle. It's the combination. Genetics + nutrition + environment + light + irrigation + consistency. Take away any one of those pieces and the picture can change dramatically. But when they're all working together? You get this. A happy, lush, beautifully developing plant. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running under stable conditions: ☀️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💧 Solution temperature: 25°C 💨 CO₂: approximately 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 That consistency continues being one of the foundations of this entire experiment. We're not trying to make every plant behave identically. We're giving every plant a stable environment and letting the genetics show us what they're capable of. And Purple CousKush Pheno B seems very comfortable inside it. 🔬 Genetics Deserve The First Shout-Out I want to make this point especially clear because it's easy in a grow diary to give all the credit to the equipment. The lights matter. The nutrition matters. The environment matters. The grower matters. But before any of that... there is a seed. And that seed carries the genetic potential. Without good genetics, none of the other pieces can magically create something that simply isn't there. That's why I'm genuinely happy with what Zamnesia has given me to work with in this run. Purple CousKush Pheno B is showing us her own interpretation of those genetics. And I really like what I'm seeing. Then you add a consistent Plagron nutrition program, stable environmental conditions, strong lighting and careful observation... and you give that genetic potential a good place to express itself. That's the recipe I'm interested in. Not one magic trick. A complete system. 👀 Looking Ahead Now my curiosity is really starting to build. Those little golf-ball-like flower formations should continue developing. The flowers should continue gaining volume. The pistils will eventually begin changing as maturity approaches. Resin production should continue increasing. And that compact structure should slowly become increasingly dominated by mature flowers. I don't want to predict the final result yet. We're not there. But I can say one thing with confidence: I really like where she's going. And that's enough for this week. 💜 Final Thoughts – A Delight Of A Plant Purple CousKush Pheno B continues being exactly what she has always been. Elegant. Compact. Beautiful. Quietly impressive. And this week, she's showing us even more of that personality. The deep, lush green is absolutely gorgeous. The bud formation is becoming increasingly pronounced. Those little flower clusters are starting to look like miniature golf balls developing along the branches. The white pistils are everywhere. The structure is beautiful. The plant is healthy. And she is exactly where she needs to be. Honestly... I have nothing to complain about. And sometimes that's the best report you can write. 😂💜 I'm also increasingly convinced that what we're seeing across this room is a beautiful combination of genetics and quality nutrition. The genetics give us the potential. The nutrition helps support that potential. The environment allows it to be expressed. And the rest is simply keeping everything consistent enough for the plant to do what she already knows how to do. Grow. Build. Flower. And shine. So this week, Purple CousKush Pheno B doesn't need a dramatic story. She doesn't need a rescue. She doesn't need a big intervention. She just needs her spotlight. Because she has earned it. A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful Purple CousKush genetics, Plagron for the nutrition that continues helping these girls maintain such impressive foliage and development, 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 here on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has a personality. Every plant has a story. And Purple CousKush Pheno B? She's writing hers quietly. No drama. No complaints. Just deep green foliage, beautiful flower formation, bright white hairs and a plant that's becoming more impressive every single week. Elegant. Compact. Beautiful. And absolutely on point. 💜🌿 Let's give this girl the spotlight. She deserves it. Until next week... Keep shining, beautiful girl. 💜✨ Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Smell is amazing even though yield is low. I blame the super hot 90+ degree days. Then we had lots of rain to flush out all the nutes in the pot- so Mother Nature is really trying to help here Regardless- I’ll get 4 good nugs and they smell amazing

The start of the week and the girls are full in stretch mode. The end of the first week on 12/12 and hulk 2 is doing awesome en hulk 1is doing good

We’ve entered week eight, one of the final weeks, since the genetics I chose are listed as **8–9 weeks from seed to harvest**. I hope we’re close to the end, because the plants are becoming more and more stressed and I still can’t understand what the problem is. It almost seems like some kind of nutrient uptake lockout. For now, the maturation of the flowers doesn’t seem to be compromised, and the trichomes are starting to develop a nice color, although the buds still look a bit sparse. As with last week, Diesel is holding up well, even though she is also starting to show some leaf issues. I just hope this is due to the flowering stage. The others, however, seem to be getting worse, especially Sunset. Wedding Cake is maturing well, although the spots keep reappearing and some leaves are starting to yellow there too. Sunset, on the other hand, seems to have slowed down in maturation, and the leaves are getting worse and worse. I’m limiting defoliation because I don’t want to add more stress to a plant that is already suffering quite a lot. -------------------------------- **End of W8 Update:** Thanks to the help of this amazing community, Sunset and Wedding have recovered really well! Diesel, on the other hand, is still struggling, but due to my lack of experience I can’t really tell whether it’s just because it’s reaching the end of its cycle, or if the care I gave didn’t bring the results I was hoping for. The buds seem pretty mature now, they’re getting richer in terpenes and reaching a good size, but I’m also wondering whether the treatments I gave this plant may have made the situation worse. I’ll update you again in the next few days! And if you have any advice, guys, drop it in the comments — it’s always more than welcome!

Not much to say... Athena Cleanse runs at 12ml for 16L rez now EC is steady at 3.0 - Drain EC was at 4.6 At the moment i need to refill my Rez in a 4 day Cycle Ive implemented a weekly Flush to keep the Hugo Block saturated at the top as well and to prevent too much Salt buildup.

Für mein erst grow bin ich super happy und über das Ergebnis sehr zufrieden. Auch der Samen von DutchPassion ist sehr zu empfehlen, vielen Dank!

This week was good. Its been a week since I made the flip..the ladies are already starting their stretch. Pistils are showing up all over the ladies, which is a good sign of stable genetics being that I used feminized seeds. Right now I am giving them the transition stage feeding schedule. This will be my 1st time using bloom booster, I intend to start adding kool bloom to the feedings this week. Also I increased the intensity of the grow light to 100% Yesterday. I will keep yall updated in my next upload 😎🍃

Mandarin dream ladies moves into week 11 with a transfer to their final pots and some LST. They look healthy and should respond nicely to the transfer. Bonus video of my veg room. Thanks for stopping by 👽🌳

Hubo muchos cambios, no pude asegurar las hojas y se terminaron marchitando la mayoría, ahora creo yo que esta recuperándose, espero que sea este el caso. Solo estuve regando con agua y nada mas, me da lastima todo lo que le paso, tan bien que iba, y ahora le paso de todo, por otro lado se ven bien los cogollos, no tan desarrollados como me gustaría pero creo que en estas semanas van a mejorar.

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Probleme. Der Geruch ist bei ihr echt ungewöhnlich es stinkt sehr nach Scheisse aber gleichzeitig möchte man immer wieder daran riechen 🤤🤙 https://seedsmafia.com/de/

Week 3 of flower stinking dank!😂 Some heavy heavy defoliation slight lollipoping to increase that light power hoping for just nice bud development but we will see! Thanks guys!

WEEK 8 Finally calibrated my ph meter and get everything sorted. Ph is now 5.5 but it should slowly building up to 6.0 I lightened the feeding because of some signs of overfeeding but nothing too dramatic. Very strong citrusy smell. One of the plants is incredibly frosty for it's age and all buds look pretty dense so I can't wait what is gonna happen over next few weeks. Giving them pretty much max recommended dose of CANNA BOOST so I hope it's gonna give me some good results in terms of taste and smell. :) Oh and I finally got new 600W bulb

Plants coming on nicely showing vigorous growth and nice fat leaves. Side branching already which makes me think this would be good for a scrog or topping for a nice multi cola plant in dwc. Like the others I'll probably leave this express it's natural form as I've not grown it before. Always nice to get an idea of what they prefer before torturing them into what you want. Calmag added now as my water demands it here.
