30.12.24: So I finally became brave enough last night to use LST on my grow for the first time. Watermelon 🍉 is doing much better than the other plants were at this stage, and still better than one that's 7 weeks old already! I'm very pleased with this strain and phenotype so far. As I've implemented the LST much earlier for her, I'm very excited to see what happens in the next couple of weeks 😃 Thanks for checking out my diary 🙂🍃✌️

Fire

Day 84-91 (Day 3F-10F) (Day 6F) I’m giving a final foliar spray of Velokelp tonight before I start to see buds develop. Forgot to water today as I didn’t have any RO and bbb#1 was slumped and droopy. I decided to just water everything with tap water. I’ve been doing quite a bit of research on using city tap water with organics and it shouldn’t disturb the microbiology very much at all. And it will actually help smokability and ash color because of the extra CaCO3 in it. The higher 7.8 pH will also lockout heavy metals like aluminum as well. (Day 7F) Plants look just fine and the pH fluctuation didn’t make any difference at all. I’m going to discontinue the use of RO water for the rest of my run and all subsequent runs. (Day 8F) I’m defoliating small amounts of leaves and sucker branches but this thing is out of control. Every 12-18 hours I see noticeable growth. I want to do a heavy strip around day 21. Starting to see budlets and pistil clumps form! These plants don’t seem like huge stretchers but I’m still anticipating quite a jump in the next few weeks. (Day 10F) Everything is looking just perfect. I’m surprised how fast these 10 gallon pots are drying out now. They go from soaked to light and airy within a few days. Hopefully I can make it the next 2 weeks without seeing any N or Mg deficiencies.

Blir flyttet ud fra solen er oppe og indtil ved 21 tiden og ud igen ( indtil nattefrosten er over) jeg har VIRKELIG SET FREM TIL AT LAVE DISSE Dagbøger og VIDEOER OG EN MASSE ANDRE GODE FRØ FRA KANNABIA 🖤🧡🖤🧡💚☮️🖤💚🖤🧡🖤🧡.

🇩🇪Blütetag 42 – Ende Blütewoche 6 Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich weiterhin stabil und ohne Auffälligkeiten. Mit dem Ende der sechsten Blütewoche ist die Stretch-Phase vollständig abgeschlossen und der Fokus liegt klar auf der weiteren Verdichtung der Blüten. Die Buds haben in den letzten Tagen sichtbar an Volumen zugelegt und beginnen zunehmend kompakter zu werden. Die Harzproduktion nimmt deutlich zu, besonders bei den Permanent Chimera im hinteren Bereich, wo sich auch erste leichte Farbveränderungen zeigen. Die Roswell Code in der Front bleibt sehr konstant. Gleichmäßiger Wuchs, stabile Blattfarbe und eine saubere, kompakte Blütenstruktur – insgesamt ein sehr ruhiger und kontrollierter Verlauf. Im Zelt wurden kleinere Anpassungen vorgenommen: Einige Triebe wurden zusätzlich gestützt, um das zunehmende Gewicht besser zu tragen. Die Lichtverteilung sowie die Luftzirkulation sind weiterhin gut, das Canopy ist größtenteils ausgeglichen. Düngung und Bewässerung laufen aktuell stabil. Die Pflanzen reagieren gut auf das Setup, daher bleibt alles vorerst unverändert. Mit dem Start von Blütewoche 7 liegt der Fokus jetzt klar auf weiterer Verdichtung und dem beginnenden Reifeprozess. 🇬🇧Flower Day 42 – End of Week 6 The plants continue to develop steadily without any noticeable issues. With the end of week 6, the stretch phase is fully completed and the focus is now clearly on further bud density. Over the past few days, the buds have visibly increased in size and are starting to tighten up. Resin production is picking up significantly, especially on the Permanent Chimera in the back, which are also beginning to show slight color changes. The Roswell Code in the front remains very consistent. Even growth, stable leaf color, and clean, compact bud structure – overall a very controlled and smooth run so far. Some minor adjustments were made in the tent: A few branches were supported to handle the increasing weight. Light distribution and airflow remain well balanced, and the canopy is mostly even. Feeding and watering are running stable at the moment. The plants are responding well, so no changes are planned for now. With the start of week 7, the focus now shifts fully towards density and the early stages of maturation.

💜 Week 7 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno A) The One Who Refuses to Slow Down Every grow has that one plant. The one that simply refuses to follow the pace of everyone else. While some of the ladies in the 8×8 Adventure have already shifted almost entirely into building flowers, this Purple CousKush still seems to have endless energy. She's stretching, branching, stacking flowers, producing fresh pistils and beginning to lay down the first noticeable layer of frost—all at the same time. It's almost as if she decided that flowering wasn't enough. She wanted to keep building everything. Watching her evolve over the last week has been one of the highlights of this entire project. Every day she seems a little taller, a little fuller and a little more beautiful. Some plants grow. Others perform. 🌱 Week 7 – A Beautiful Structure Comes Alive Standing at approximately 90 cm, she has added another impressive burst of vertical growth while maintaining the elegant structure that first caught my attention several weeks ago. From a distance she almost resembles a Christmas tree, not because she's perfectly symmetrical from top to bottom, but because of the way her side branches rise evenly around a dominant central leader that proudly stretches above the canopy. The main cola continues reaching for the light while the surrounding branches develop into an impressive collection of secondary tops, creating an architecture that feels both natural and incredibly efficient. The stretch hasn't completely stopped yet, but it's beginning to slow enough that flower production is now taking centre stage. Every branch is carrying healthy clusters of bright white pistils. The buds are beginning to stack along the stems. The first sparkling trichomes are appearing on the sugar leaves. The transition into full bloom is now impossible to miss. 🌿 Different Genetics. Different Personalities. One of the things I enjoy most about growing from seed is being reminded that genetics always have the final word. Every plant inside this room receives exactly the same care. The same environment. The same nutrition. The same lighting. The same attention. Yet every phenotype tells a completely different story. Some stay compact. Some stretch aggressively. Some begin stacking flowers early. Others spend longer building structure before committing their energy to bloom. Purple CousKush Pheno A has chosen her own path from day one. Instead of comparing her with the others, I've learned to appreciate exactly what makes her unique. That's one of the greatest lessons cultivation can teach us. Success isn't making every plant look identical. Success is allowing every plant to express its own genetic potential. 🍃 Plant Health Health continues to be exceptional from top to bottom. The foliage maintains a rich, healthy green colour with excellent leaf posture throughout the canopy. The stems have thickened considerably over the last week, providing outstanding support for what will eventually become long flowering colas. The internodal spacing remains one of my favourite characteristics of this phenotype. Open enough to allow superb airflow. Close enough to create beautiful flower stacking. Combined with the early Low Stress Training, the canopy now feels incredibly open, making light penetration and air circulation almost effortless. Sometimes less intervention produces the best results. 💡 Lighting – A New Chapter Begins This week also marks an exciting addition to the grow. The Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system has officially joined the 8×8 Adventure. While the Future of Grow Black Series LED continues delivering outstanding intensity from above, the Lumiflora bars now provide valuable light beneath the canopy, reaching lower flowering sites that traditionally receive far less energy during bloom. For a phenotype like this, with long side branches carrying multiple developing flowers, under-canopy lighting has the potential to become a genuine game changer. Instead of allowing lower bud sites to develop in shade, they now receive additional light exactly where it's needed. It'll be fascinating to watch how this influences flower development over the coming weeks. Sometimes progress comes from adding more light. Sometimes it comes from placing that light in a smarter location. 💧 Feeding Program Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container and hand-watered with approximately 1 litre per irrigation, she continues responding beautifully to her flowering nutrition. Current feeding: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Maintaining: • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm The increase in EC has been accepted without hesitation. Leaf colour remains perfectly balanced, flower production continues accelerating, and the plant shows absolutely no indication of nutrient stress. When a feeding program is working this well, consistency becomes the most valuable nutrient of all. 🌡️ Environment Environmental stability continues allowing every phenotype to perform at its full potential. Current conditions: • 12/12 light schedule from seed • Approximately 850 PPFD • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root-zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Stable conditions continue making all the difference, allowing the plants to dedicate their energy toward growth rather than constantly adapting to environmental changes. 🔍 Looking Ahead Although she's beginning to slow her vertical growth, I don't think she's quite finished stretching yet. Over the coming week I expect the remaining stretch to gradually fade while the flowers begin swelling much more noticeably along every branch. The open structure she's built over the past several weeks should now become one of her biggest advantages, allowing every flowering site to receive excellent light while maintaining outstanding airflow throughout the canopy. With the addition of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting, I'm especially excited to see how those lower bud sites respond. The framework is complete. Now it's time for the flowers to fill it. 💭 Final Thoughts This Purple CousKush reminds me that plants don't wait for each other. Every phenotype follows its own internal calendar. She isn't concerned with what the rest of the room is doing. She's simply following her genetics, growing exactly the way she was designed to grow. Watching that individuality unfold is one of the greatest rewards of growing from seed. Every week she seems to reveal another layer of her personality. Taller. Stronger. More elegant. And now, finally, beautifully covered with the first signs of resin that promise wonderful things in the weeks ahead. Sometimes the best growers aren't the ones who control every detail. They're the ones who know when to step back and simply let great genetics tell their own story. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure.

I mean come on. They’re beautiful

Fastberry Auto is truly a gem among autoflowering cannabis strains! Its rapid growth, delightful berry-like aroma, and beautiful purple buds make it a joy to cultivate. The sweet and fruity flavor is a treat for the senses, and the balanced high leaves me feeling creatively inspired and deeply relaxed. A must-try for any cannabis enthusiast, whether you're a seasoned grower or just starting out! -

Yoooo! Welcome back 🙌🏼 Just a quick update for week 7 of flower. Plants looking incredible. Zkittlez is really packing on the frost now and starting to develop some lovely colours. The Runtz seems to be continually packing on size and developing - most of the trichs are still clear but I’m seeing cloudy and a few amber ones here and there, so I’m looking to get the flush going in a few days time. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers 🤟🏻

This was the Athena blended line nutrition grow. She did well. No major growing issues. She has a pretty flower that is frosty, and sticky. She has a very tropical, and fruity smell. Thank you ILGM, Medic Grow, and Athena. Be sure to check out the other fruity pebbles auto diary I have. The two plants had very different structures. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Very nice strain will grow it again. Didnt have time to update at weeks 11-14

End of week 7. Great week. Big plants. Smell is so strong, diesel and incredibly powerful turpentine. Really fast Strain to grown. Flushing started, should be a big harvest when done. Thanks everyone, I show my grows on YouTube also, Crystal Garden

The Moby Dick ist doing great. Getting bigger every day! I Hope she'll Go on Like that! Maybe one more nod and i'll top her maybe Not. Gonna think about it. Stay tuned! 🤙🏽

Last few days now, i gave them one feed with canna flush. I’ll just give them ph balanced water for now. Then put them in 48hr darkness with no water. I moved them to my other tent in preparation for harvest.

Going Into week 3 hopefully going to top by end of week and will update then

I found out by measuring the water going from the pot that I probably over fertilize the plant. My mistake Was to use some cheap guano from local shop to the pot directly and also full plan with shogun fertilizers. I find out it before leaves start necrosis and now the plant is on diet with 1,4 ec and i control the outcoming water every day to be sure that situation In pot is better. Colas still growing but it slows a bit and will do some impact on my yealds at the end for sure. I will learn from my mistakes ! You can seen on pictures some improves on vent system, keep growing guys! Keep improving 👌🏻🤩

Going into flower like now I think..🤔 Lol, yes it’s flower time already.🤭

I put a net in to try to get a more even canopy and utilise the space of the tent. It didnt really work too well though. I ended up only leaving it in for periods as i found it really annoying to water and manage devices in the tent with the net in.
