This week seem like the plant didn’t eat much of the fertilizer so we decided to push the Co2 up a bit, but its still drink crazy amount of water. Some of the plant were starting to smell and also getting a bit frosty. Hope that everything will be all good, have a good day to everyone who reading this Cheer!🔥🙏🏽🙏🏽🇹🇭👍🏻

A lot of rain and wind, continuously. Temps have dropped as well. I’m reading another week or two to chop this plants. Sativa dominant hybrids did the best, the Fastberry and the banana purple punch did not really develop as the other two. In specifics the cbd crack developed sizable buds, and the blue dream as well, the flowers are not as developed tight and dense as in the indoor grow. A bit of fox-tailing nothing too expressive. Minimal work, as per the setup chosen, an no extra nutes this week.

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 8 (Flower Week 5) 🌱 She Bent. She Bounced Back. And She Kept Building. There are weeks in a grow where everything goes exactly according to plan. And then there are weeks where life happens. The room is busy. The outside world keeps moving. There are a thousand things happening at the same time... And occasionally, one of the plants reminds you that even the best plans still require us to pay attention. This week, Purple CousKush Pheno A taught me that lesson. I underwatered her. Nothing catastrophic. Nothing that caused lasting damage. But enough that when I looked at her, the leaves had completely dropped. She was thirsty. Very thirsty. And this is actually an important distinction for anyone following the diary: A controlled dry-back is not the same thing as allowing a flowering plant to become so dry that she starts wilting. The first can be part of an irrigation strategy. The second is simply me missing the watering window. 😂 So we corrected it. She received her water. We gave her time to recover. And by the following day... She was back. And not only was she back... She was ready for her next chapter. 💧 The Underwatering Lesson When a plant becomes this thirsty, the first thing I look for isn't panic. I look at the plant. Leaves dropping dramatically from a lack of available water is usually a very different visual story from nutrient toxicity, heat stress or a root-zone problem. In this case, the explanation was simple. She needed water. After watering, she recovered beautifully. That quick recovery was reassuring and also a good reminder that plants can be remarkably resilient. Still, during this stage of flowering, it's something I want to avoid repeating. I personally prefer being slightly more conservative with irrigation rather than keeping the root zone constantly saturated. But there's a difference between allowing a healthy dry-back and pushing the plant far enough that she has to start waving a little white flag. This week, Purple CousKush definitely waved it. Message received. 😂 I will do my best not to make her wave it again. ✂️ From Recovery Straight Into Defoliation Perhaps the most impressive part was what happened next. Once she had recovered and returned to normal posture, I gave her another day and then performed the flowering defoliation. This was part of the broader room strategy we've been following. The objective wasn't to strip her. It wasn't because she suddenly looked unhealthy. And it wasn't because every leaf needed to disappear. The goal was simply to clean up the canopy and remove foliage that was no longer contributing much to the plant's structure. Some of the interior and lower areas had become crowded, and selectively removing those leaves created more open space between the flowering sites. More room for air. More room for light. More room for the plant to breathe. And with the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting now part of the system, we're also able to observe which lower flowering sites are actually worth keeping. The plant herself will tell us. 🌿 She Took It Like Nothing Happened This is probably my favourite part of the entire week. After being underwatered... She recovered. After being defoliated... She didn't miss a beat. She's standing there looking beautiful, healthy and completely ready to continue flowering. No prolonged setback. No dramatic reaction. No hesitation. Just... Back to work. And honestly, that's exactly what I love about this phenotype. She has been one of the more energetic plants in this room from the beginning. She stretched. She branched. She built an impressive framework. She started stacking flowers. And now she's moving deeper into the part of flowering where that structure needs to start paying for itself. 💜 Week 5 Flower – The Structure Is Paying Off At approximately 125 cm, Purple CousKush Pheno A has become one of the taller and more distinctive plants in this room. Her Christmas-tree-like architecture has become even more obvious. A strong central leader rises through the canopy while numerous side branches form their own flowering towers around her. And now, after defoliation, that architecture is even easier to see. The plant has space. The branches are separated. The flowering sites have room around them. And the entire structure feels much more open. This is exactly what I want at this stage. We're no longer trying to build the plant. We're trying to help the plant finish what she already built. 🌸 Flowers Are Taking Over The flowers continue developing along virtually every major branch. Those bright pistils that were appearing last week are now becoming part of increasingly defined flowering clusters. The buds are beginning to gain substance. The calyxes are stacking. And the first layer of frost that appeared earlier is becoming increasingly visible. This is the beautiful transition where the plant starts looking less like a collection of flowering sites and more like an actual flowering plant. She's not finished. Not even close. But the direction is very clear. She's building. And she's building everywhere. 💡 Photons, Air & Open Space This is another reason I decided to clean her up. Defoliation isn't about magically creating more light. The photons are already there. What we're trying to do is improve how effectively that light can travel through the canopy. Every unnecessary leaf sitting directly above another flowering site can intercept some of that light. Every dense pocket of foliage can also interfere with airflow. By selectively removing some of those leaves, we create pathways. Light can travel deeper. Air can move more freely. Humidity has fewer opportunities to become trapped between dense layers of foliage. And the under-canopy lighting can interact with the lower structure more effectively. It's a little like opening windows in a house. We're not creating more air. We're simply giving the air better places to go. 🌱 Same Genetics. Different Story. One of the most rewarding things about this 8×8 Adventure continues to be the diversity happening inside one room. Twelve different genetic expressions. Same general environment. Same cultivation philosophy. Same room. Yet every plant writes her own story. Purple CousKush Pheno A has always been one of the plants that seems to have somewhere to go. She's taller. She's more energetic. She keeps producing structure. And even after a little reminder from me this week that she needed a drink... she's right back there doing her thing. That's genetics. We can guide. We can train. We can manage the environment. We can manage irrigation. But ultimately, the plant decides what she's going to be. 💧 Feeding & Root Zone The flowering feeding program continues with the 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 for pH adjustment The target remains around: pH: 5.8 EC: approximately 1.95 mS/cm After this week's watering mistake, I'm particularly paying attention to irrigation timing. Not because the plant is struggling. Quite the opposite. Because she's growing beautifully, and I don't want a preventable watering mistake interrupting that momentum again. A healthy dry-back is part of irrigation management. A wilted plant is my reminder to look at the clock. 😂 🌡️ Environment The room continues providing a stable environment for the entire 8×8 Adventure: Light schedule: 12/12 PPFD: approximately 850–1,000 across the canopy Day temperature: 29°C Night temperature: 25°C Relative humidity: 60% Solution temperature: 21°C Root-zone temperature: 21°C CO₂: approximately 639 ppm The stability of this environment is what allows a mistake like underwatering to remain just that: a mistake. Not a disaster. The plant was healthy before it happened. The environment remained stable. The root zone was given water. And she recovered quickly. That's one of the reasons I put so much importance on the entire ecosystem rather than chasing one individual number. 🔮 Looking Ahead Now that the defoliation is complete and she's recovered, I'm expecting Purple CousKush to put her energy where we want it most. Into the flowers. The vertical stretch should continue slowing down. Flower clusters should continue stacking along those long branches. The calyxes should begin swelling more noticeably. And resin production should become increasingly obvious as she moves deeper into bloom. I'm particularly interested in watching how the cleaned canopy performs over the next couple of weeks. More airflow. Better light movement. Less unnecessary foliage. And hopefully... no more thirsty ladies waving their leaves at me. 😂 💭 Final Thoughts – A Little Reminder From The Plant This week wasn't perfect. And I'm actually glad it wasn't. Because growing isn't about pretending everything goes perfectly every day. It's about learning to read the plants. Purple CousKush told me she was thirsty. I listened. She recovered. Then she let me clean her up. And now she's standing there looking absolutely beautiful, waiting for the next chapter. I still genuinely prefer a slightly cautious approach to watering rather than constantly keeping the root zone saturated. But there's a lesson here: Dry-back can be intentional. Wilting is communication. And this girl communicated very clearly. 😂 I'll do my best not to make her repeat herself. For now, she's healthy. She's recovering beautifully. She's been defoliated. She's producing flowers. She's getting frosty. And she's continuing to prove why she earned her place in this 8×8 Adventure. Sometimes the plant teaches us through perfect growth. Sometimes she teaches us by dropping every leaf in the room and saying: "Hey, Doctor... I need a drink." 😂💜 A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these fantastic Purple CousKush genetics, Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout this journey, Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing additional light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for keeping the environment under control, and of course everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure here on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has a story. Every week adds another chapter. And Purple CousKush Pheno A? She's still writing hers. She bent. She bounced back. She got cleaned up. And now she's shining again. 💜🌱 Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 💚

* Actualizo 2 dias antes para cuadrar diarios. Gracias al equipo de Seedsman y XpertNutrients sin ellos esto no sería posible. 💐🍁 Bubba Cheescake: Bubba Cheesecake es un cruce de Bubba Kush anterior al 98 con Cheese Cake (Wedding Cake x Exodus Cheese). Se trata de un híbrido 70% índica con muy buenos rendimientos, alto en THC y bajo en CBD. Bubba Cheesecake prospera en interiores y exteriores. En interior se aconseja un corto periodo de crecimiento vegetativo debido a la cantidad de estiramiento que presentan las plantas. Las plantas pueden crecer hasta una altura de 250 a 350 cm. cuando se deja crecer naturalmente al aire libre. En interior, la floración dura entre 60 y 65 días, con rendimientos entre buenos y altos, de 400 a 550 gr/m2. Las plantas de exterior son capaces de producir entre 700 - 800 gr. peso seco. En las latitudes norteñas, en exterior, los productores pueden esperar cosechar a principios de octubre. Los cogollos son grandes y duros como piedras. Las plantas maduras muestran atractivos colores púrpuras y azules y brillan con una resina pegajosa que cubrirá las manos del cultivador si no tiene cuidado. El componente Wedding Cake agrega dulzura al sabor del regaliz y el aroma es terroso y musgoso. La producción de THC es muy alta con un nivel bajo de CBD. El efecto es intensamente narcótico, fuerte y duradero. 🌻🚀 Consigue aqui tus semillas: 🍣🍦🌴 Xpert Nutrients es una empresa especializada en la producción y comercialización de fertilizantes líquidos y tierras, que garantizan excelentes cosechas y un crecimiento activo para sus plantas durante todas las fases de cultivo.

right in 2nd week of flower and they have lost their smell? prob because it is so dry and they have started flowering. I gave them bloom amendments last week. lets see if they are in a better place next time i see them. These were clones from a grow buddy but it looks like the pheno was not really deserving of cloning. hope it smokes well.

How is it growing, my fun(k) loving friends? ***INFO*** For more on my setup, why it was monster cropped, and how I made the canopy, see Germination page and subsequent weeks. They had 48 hrs of darkness, and the time has come to say goodbye to my friends. I thanked them again, spend some time with them, and under the sound of Amazonian shaman's harvest and healing songs (will post link), asked for their gifts, and apologized for taking their lives. I do this while in contact with the plants, touching, smelling them, observing every detail, no thoughts, just in the present moment. I feel emotional as I do this and remember how they were a companion, a source of distraction in a time of worry, sadness, and loss. How they already comforted me and kept me company in a time of painful insights about honesty, commitment, and staying true to myself. I thank them again for their wisdom and gifts, viva Santa Maria, viva Planta Maestra, may the mother of all beings give us healing and protection. And I proceed with the harvest as I visualize my intentions with every cut. Branch by bud laden branch is tenderly untangled from the scrog net, taken with a clean-cut and immediately hung upside down in the grow tent, which will now double as a curing and drying room. A couple more weeks and we will have the final cured and dried weight. More photos and movies will follow, this is where we are so far!! Thank you for checking in on our journey, all the love, support, and compliments were a true motivation, a very needed distraction, and guidance for me and for Sunshine. Big hug, lots of love and take care! ***UPDATE*** The final weigh-in is ready. I hadn't seen them in a week, because of my vacation. The humidifier I set up, had failed. So the grow had dried in 7 days, what I wanted to be 14 at least. Thankfully, its Sativa ancestry shines through, the smoke isn't harsh, the buds a sticky and smelly, no hay smell at all. We ended up at 246 grams, excluding a shitload of larf and popcorn bud, totaling at 310 grams all in, a first at a gram per watt for me, but for the Zambeza seed competition, I stated we would only weigh the quality bud. Overall I'm very happy!! Guessed weights in the competition: - @hashy : 0 grams - @MrHyde : 198 grams - @JamMAKEcan : 224 grams - @TrickOrTrip : 260 grams - @Greeneysgrow: 312.5 grams - @Ohey_fu_kyu: 350 grams - @Puffs4Pipes: 385 grams - @Hempkid : 605 grams - @DoDrugs420 : 621 grams TrickorTrip was closest!! Congratulations!!! I will be contacting you to get the seeds with you!! Thanks for playing to all the others and better luck next time, I will give away some seeds again!! Summary: Cost of setup: 850 euro Cost of nutrients and soil: 125 euro Cost of seeds: None they were cloned Cost of power: 150 euros in the power bill Total cost: 1125,-- for setup and this run. I smoke for medical reasons and it's used for ritual and healing purposes, never to be sold, as it loses its magical properties. Should I have to buy Gelato of this quality at the dispensary that I frequent, it would cost me at least € 15,-- per gram. 246 x 15 = 3690 euros. also, 49 car rides of 25 miles there and back, 250 euros in gas saved. Overall conclusion: I think we can call this a succes. Made back my investment, my cost per grow and we saved the environment. Thanks for all the love, tips and support! Couldnt have done this on my first indoor LED grow, without you!! Wish you were here to smoke a fat one, some good conversation about our hobby and now... I'm hungry.... See you on the next one!! Hugs Bud!!! PS. Should you be interested in Shamanism or Teacherplants by anything I mentioned.

Sono un po’ in ritardo ma posso già commentare questi boccioli di Gorilla Cookies FF perché sono già stati trimmati e puliti per essere curati in barattoli di vetro. Non ho avuto particolari problemi nel crescere queste ragazze, l’unica cosa che purtroppo non ho potuto mantenere sotto controllo era la temperatura che nelle ultime settimane era arrivata quasi a 30ºC :-/ e questo non è stato di aiuto alle piante a cui ovviamente non piace stare sotto queste temperature di continuo…nonostante questo e alla poca compattezza dei fiori sono super contento del gusto e dell’odore che ricordano tanto i terpeni della Calypso Sun Rock di Anesia Seeds, sarà che ho trovato un fenotipo che condivideva gli stessi geni con cui sono imparentate entrambe! Inoltre è stata la prima volta che ho avuto il piacere di utilizzare il super soil di Dogma Organics che sicuramente ha esaltato al massimo le particolarità della pianta e confermo che la differenza si sente, le piante crescono a meraviglia con struttura solida e zero carenze di nessun tipo se si usa con giuste quantità e tempi sia il top dress che le giuste quantità di acqua che dovrebbe sempre essere la cosa più importante dove bisogna imparare a capire i bisogni in base allo stadio di crescita…in più ho condiviso alcune foto del mio giardino di quest’anno :)) Fast Buds super consigliato genetiche ottime e selezioni veramente interessanti
