Week 6 of veg in the books and I’m rather disappointed with this strain overall. Recovery time on the topping was terrible (if they recovered at all), internodal spacing is extremely stretchy which isn’t at all lending to more pronounced side branching. On top of that they just aren’t growing quickly at all. The fan leaves are massive and the bud sites are very limited. None of them have even begun to show vegetative maturity. Well still take the run to flower but I don’t expect to take this batch of F1 seed any further with these types of characteristics. If the bud is anything short of straight 🔥, I’ll pitch the whole lot of seeds as simply unworthy. Oh well. It was still worth a shot… no deficiencies or issues - just a shitty genetic at this point.

Hello Canna Fam😎 So the end of week 2 and the growth picked up as expected after the transplant except for the 1 lady which is having a very slow start. Nevertheless I topped the ladies except the auto and did some LsT to widen the canopy. Hope you all enjoy the update and keep growing ✌️🏼

What a great week! We only gave them their nutrients once this week, and it seemed to be just enough for the girls. They're all fighters and are showing it every day. The greenhouse is starting to work in our favor during the day because when it was humid enough, the temperature was perfect. One of the girls, Osaka, started to grow rapidly, and we noticed that it may have been due to the fact that she was collecting the rainwater that had seeped inside the greenhouse. The rainwater had just the right pH to allow her to grow not only rapidly but beautifully. It was very unexpected at first, and now she's starting to look like our shining star. One of them, Ben, also looks like she's flowering a little, but we're not sure what to do since it's still a little early... Hoping for the best and, as always, hoping for rain!

She’s frosting up and smelling sweet as , vid captures the lights turning on . Same same next week after a defol

Lemon Cherry Gelato YumYum 🙂 | Week 13 Final stretch, full weight, and still not done While one Lemon Cherry Gelato is already hanging and drying from last week’s harvest, her sister is still standing — and still stacking. That alone says a lot about this run. Same seed pack. Same room. Same schedule. Same treatment. Yet one finished first, and the other decided she still had more to say. That’s part of the beauty of running from seed, and part of what keeps these 12/12 from seed runs so interesting from start to finish. Same start, same environment, different expression. One leaned into the early finish. The other kept building. And now here we are with the second Lemon Cherry Gelato still pushing hard into late flower, still swelling, still changing, and very clearly not in a hurry. This run has been 12/12 from seed from day one. No veg reset, no transplant games, no long shaping phase — just straight into expression, structure, and flower. Fast, honest, and always a great reminder that a plant does not need extra time to show you what it’s made of. And this one is showing plenty. ⸻ Week 13 | Still building, still swelling This week made one thing very clear: we are in the final stretch, but we are not finished yet. The plant is deep into late flower now and changing fast. Not just in size, but in presence. Buds are denser. Calyxes are swelling harder. The room smells thicker. The air feels heavier. Colors are starting to shift. Resin is louder every day. Everything is becoming more concentrated now. This is the stage where the plant stops pretending. No more stretch. No more unnecessary movement. No more wasted energy. Now it is all weight, density, oils, pressure, and finish. And she is leaning into all of it. ⸻ Heavy enough to break herself The most obvious change this week is weight. Not visual weight. Real weight. Branches are bending hard. Some are splitting. Some are collapsing under their own mass. Support is no longer optional here — it is mandatory. And honestly, that says everything. This is not airy late flower bulk. This is real density. The kind that starts testing branch strength. The kind that reminds you genetics matter. The kind that turns “nice structure” into “please hold yourself together one more week.” The stems on this plant are thick. The branching is strong. The trunk is solid. And even with that, she is still pushing enough mass to test her own frame. That tells the story better than I can. ⸻ Feeding less, finishing more At this point, feeding is simple. No more pushing. No more chasing numbers. No more trying to force anything extra out of her. She has already done the work. Now the goal is simple: let her finish clean. At this stage she is only getting water and enzymes (Pure Zym), keeping the root zone active, helping break down what is left, and allowing the plant to use what she already stored. That’s it. No heavy feeding. No late flower overcorrection. No panic bottles. Just clean support, stable inputs, and enough patience not to ruin the last stretch by doing too much. Late flower is often less about what you add, and more about what you stop interfering with. ⸻ Environment | Warm, stable, and still working Room temperatures are still a little warmer than ideal, sitting around 26°C during lights on and around 18°C at night. Would I prefer slightly cooler late flower temps? Sure. But the plants are telling their own story, and they are not showing stress worth chasing. That matters more. Leaves still look happy. Uptake is still steady. Flowers are still swelling. Resin is still building. Nothing is stalling. Nothing is fading early. Nothing is asking for emergency corrections. So while the room is a touch warmer than perfect on paper, the plants are still performing exactly how they should. And at this stage, healthy performance always matters more than textbook perfection. ⸻ Studio trip included (because of course) And yes — despite the size, despite the weight, despite how awkward moving late flower plants becomes… she still went to the studio. Not because it was practical. Because she earned it. And honestly, this one deserved proper light. She is not the tallest plant in the room, but she is dense, broad, heavy, and full enough to make carrying her feel like moving a small tree made of resin. Worth it. ⸻ What to expect next week At this point, the answer is simple: More weight. More density. More color. More resin. More pressure on branches. And hopefully clearer signs of the finish line. What not to expect is a dramatic change in direction. She is not about to stretch. She is not about to explode into new shape. She is not about to surprise anyone with speed. From here, it is all refinement. The next week should be about tightening, ripening, swelling, and watching the plant decide when she is actually done. Not when the calendar says so. When she says so. And that is the only timing that matters. ⸻ Final stretch This one feels special. Not because she is finished. Because she is close enough now to make every day count. The room is changing. The plant is changing. The air is changing. And the finish is starting to feel real. We are close now. Not done. But close enough to respect every extra day. And as always — thank you to everyone still here. To Zamnesia for the genetics. To Plagron for the support. To GrowDiaries for the platform. To everyone following from day one. To the old heads. To the new ones. To the quiet ones watching in the background. To the growers. To the skeptics. To the supporters. To the critics. To the ones who stayed. To the ones who just stopped by for a minute. Love to all of you.

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 10 🌿 No Complaints. Just Beautiful Progress. Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And honestly... Purple CousKush Pheno A is making this one very easy. No drama. No complaints. No major intervention. No need for me to stand there wondering what the hell she's doing. She's simply... doing her thing. 😂💜 And she's doing it beautifully. The longer this adventure continues, the more interesting it becomes to watch the different personalities emerge. Because although almost every plant in the room is sharing essentially the same environment, they're certainly not moving at exactly the same rhythm. Some are faster. Some are slower. A couple are giving me a little more to think about. But the majority? They're just getting on with it. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is very much part of that group. She's moving. She's developing. She's building some beautiful flowers. And she's doing it without asking me for much attention. Honestly? I love that. 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — Different Rhythms, Same Stage For anyone joining the diary now, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. This project is all about watching different genetics and phenotypes develop while giving them the same general opportunity. Same room. Same 12/12 lighting strategy. Same environmental philosophy. Same irrigation system. Same general nutrition. Same lighting ecosystem. Same grower. And yet... the results are different. That's the experiment. The environment gives everybody the stage. The genetics decide how each plant performs on it. And right now, I'm finding it fascinating because the room has reached that point where most of the girls are moving quite quickly. They're no longer asking: "What am I going to become?" They're increasingly showing us: "This is who I am." And Purple CousKush Pheno A is becoming very easy to recognize. 💜 She's Just Getting On With It I think that's probably the simplest way to describe this week. She's not demanding anything special from me. She's not creating problems. She's not requiring another round of major training. She's not asking to be redesigned. She's just continuing forward. And sometimes those are my favourite weeks in a grow. Because there isn't always a problem that needs solving. Sometimes you get to stand there, look at the plant and say: "Yep. That's looking fucking good." 😂💜 Then you take the photographs. You admire the flowers. You check everything. And you let her continue. That's exactly where Purple CousKush is right now. 🌸 Beautiful Bud Formation The flowers are becoming one of the main reasons I keep stopping to look at her. The bud formation is really nice. The flowering sites are becoming more established, the structures are gaining definition, and the individual flowers are beginning to look increasingly substantial. She's moving beyond those early flowering formations now. This is becoming a proper flowering plant. And I really like the architecture she's building. There is a nice relationship between the branches and the flowers. Nothing looks excessively stretched. Nothing feels chaotic. The plant has enough vertical structure to give her presence without becoming one of those enormous plants that takes over half the room. And that's actually something I've noticed throughout this run. I don't really have any true monsters. They're mostly somewhere around that comfortable middle ground. And honestly? I'm loving it. 🌿 The Average-Sized Girls Are Winning Me Over Purple CousKush Pheno A is around 125 cm, which puts her firmly into that middle ground for this run. She's not a dwarf. She's not a giant. She's simply... average-sized. 😂 And apparently that's where my plants decided they wanted to live this time. I don't have many extremely tall plants dominating the tent. Instead, I have a room full of plants with different personalities expressed through their structure, density, flower formation, colour and development rather than simply height. And I really like that. Because when you're running twelve different plants together, it makes the comparison much more interesting. If one plant were three metres tall and everything else was tiny, the difference would be obvious. But when they're all living within somewhat similar physical dimensions... you start paying attention to the details. And Purple CousKush has some very nice details. ✨ Glamorous Girl There's something glamorous about this phenotype. I don't know exactly how else to describe it. She's not necessarily screaming for attention. But when I look at the photographs... she has presence. The flowers are elegant. The structure is balanced. The foliage is beautiful. And there's something about the way the flowering sites sit throughout the plant that makes her look particularly polished. She's one of those plants that doesn't need to be enormous to look impressive. She just... looks good. And sometimes that's enough. 💜🌿✨ 🌿 Those Beautiful Greens The deep green foliage is still one of the characteristics I really appreciate. She's carrying that rich green appearance that I've been enjoying throughout her flowering development. And now, with the flowers becoming more pronounced, the contrast is even more interesting. Deep green leaves surrounding developing flowers. The lighter flowering structures standing out against the foliage. More detail appearing every week. The whole plant is becoming increasingly photogenic. And I have to say... I really like photographing her. There's enough structure to work with. She's not so enormous that I need to fight the plant to get the camera where I want it. And she's not so tiny that everything disappears into one little cluster. She's sitting in that sweet spot. A very cooperative photographic subject. 😂📸 ✂️ No Need to Touch Her And once again... no scissors. 😂 We've already done the necessary work earlier in flower. The canopy has been managed. The plant has been given room where it needed it. And now? I'm leaving her alone. This is something that becomes more obvious as the grow progresses. Early on, there can be a temptation to keep doing things. Train this. Move that. Remove this. Adjust that. But eventually you reach a point where the plant has built the architecture it's going to use. And then your job becomes much simpler. Observe. Maintain. Provide. And let the plant finish. Purple CousKush is very clearly telling me: "I've got this." And I'm happy to believe her. 💡 Still Eating Photons The lighting environment remains consistent with the rest of the 8×8 Adventure. The Future of Grow Black Series LED continues providing the primary overhead illumination, with Lumiflora contributing additional light beneath the canopy. At this point, I'm less interested in telling you what I think the light is doing and more interested in watching what the plants actually show us. And Purple CousKush is showing us a plant that is continuing to build. Leaves are working. Flowers are developing. Structure is holding. The plant is progressing. That's the evidence I care about. Give her the environment. Give her the photons. And then... let her tell us what her genetics decided to do with them. 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming the Main Event This is the really exciting part now. The plant's structure has already been established. Now we're watching the flowers increasingly become the stars. The buds are gaining definition. The flowering sites are becoming more substantial. The pistils remain visible throughout the developing flowers. And the overall structure is beginning to look much more like the finished plant we're eventually going to harvest. Eventually. Not yet. 😂 There's still plenty of time for these flowers to change. And that's exactly what I'm enjoying. Every week now should bring another little transformation. More density. More maturity. More resin. More character. And eventually... the final version of Purple CousKush Pheno A will reveal herself. We're just not there yet. 🔬 Another Great Example of Phenotype Expression This girl is also another nice reminder of why I wanted the 8×8 Adventure to contain so many different plants. Even within the same general environment, each one develops its own personality. Purple CousKush Pheno A is showing us a phenotype that's: Balanced. Medium-sized. Beautifully structured. Deep green. Flower-focused. Easy to manage. And increasingly... glamorous. 😂💜 There are other girls in this room with completely different stories. Some are much smaller. Some are more compact. Some have different flower structures. Some are more unusual. And that's what makes looking across the whole garden so much fun. The environment stays relatively predictable. The plants don't. 💧 Feeding & Environment The current recorded conditions remain: 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: 125 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC/TDS: ~2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 🌬️ CO₂: 639 ppm ? Pot size: 15 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h The overall nutrition and irrigation strategy remains consistent. No reason to make dramatic changes. She's progressing. She's flowering. She's healthy-looking. So we keep providing the environment and let her continue doing what she's already doing well. 🌬️ A Comfortable Plant Is a Beautiful Plant There's something I've really come to appreciate during this run. When a plant is comfortable, you can see it. You don't necessarily need a complicated explanation. You look at the foliage. You look at the structure. You look at the flowers. You look at the general posture of the plant. And sometimes everything simply says: "I'm good." That's Purple CousKush right now. She's not fighting. She's not demanding. She's not giving me a reason to interfere. She's just progressing. And when I see that... my job becomes incredibly simple. Keep providing. 📸 This Week's Gallery I think the photographs this week really capture what I'm talking about. The full-plant photographs show her overall architecture. The closer shots reveal the flowers. And when you get even closer... the details start becoming the story. The flowering structures. The pistils. The developing resin. The textures. The way the flowers are sitting within the surrounding foliage. That's one of the reasons I enjoy documenting individual plants instead of simply photographing the entire room. A full-room photograph tells you: "Look at the garden." An individual photograph tells you: "Look at this plant." And Purple CousKush Pheno A deserves that second look. 💜 No Drama Is a Good Story Too I think growers sometimes feel like every diary update needs some huge event. A problem. A discovery. A major intervention. A dramatic change. But honestly? Some of the best updates are: Nothing went wrong. 😂 The plant grew. The flowers developed. The environment remained stable. The plant looked beautiful. And we moved forward another week. That's a successful week. And Purple CousKush gave me exactly that. No complaints. No drama. Just progress. 🔭 Looking Ahead And now I'm curious about the next stage. The flowers are developing beautifully. The structure is looking very good. The plant is holding herself nicely. And the overall appearance is becoming increasingly mature. So now... we wait. I want to see how much more those flowers develop. How much more density they gain. How the resin progresses. How the pistils change. And eventually, what kind of final expression this phenotype decides to give us. Maybe she'll surprise me. Maybe she'll simply continue exactly as she is. Either way... I'm enjoying the journey. And that's the important part. ❤️ Final Thoughts — Let Her Shine Week 10. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is still giving me absolutely nothing to complain about. She's simply moving. And she's moving beautifully. The flowers are developing. The structure is looking great. The foliage remains deep and healthy-looking. She's around 125 cm, which makes her one of those comfortably average-sized girls in a run where I apparently decided that enormous plants weren't invited. 😂 And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. Because I'm discovering that I don't need every plant to be huge. I don't need every plant to stretch into the ceiling. I don't need every phenotype to dominate the room. What I want is exactly what I'm seeing here: a beautiful plant doing what her genetics tell her to do. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is doing that extremely well. She's glamorous. She's balanced. She's flowering beautifully. She's easy to manage. She's not demanding. She's not creating drama. She's just... being Purple CousKush. 💜🌿✨ And that's more than enough. So let's keep doing what we're doing. We provide. We observe. We photograph. We learn. And most importantly... we let her shine. Because sometimes the best plants aren't the ones that make you work the hardest. Sometimes they're the ones that quietly do everything right... and give you the pleasure of simply watching them become beautiful. Purple CousKush Pheno A? That's her. No complaints. No drama. Just beautiful progress. 💜🌸✨ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these beautiful Purple CousKush genetics and for giving us another fascinating phenotype to follow through the 8×8 Adventure. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutrition throughout this journey. Thank you to Future of Grow LED for the Black Series lighting driving the garden. Thank you to Lumiflora for bringing the under-canopy lighting dimension into the experiment. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And, of course, thank you to everyone following this crazy experiment on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every week you come back and look at these girls with me... it all adds another little piece to the story. And this week, Purple CousKush Pheno A has a wonderfully simple one. She's growing. She's flowering. She's developing. She's looking glamorous. And she's not giving me anything to complain about. 😂💜 So let's leave her exactly where she wants to be. In her own rhythm. In her own space. Doing her own thing. Building those beautiful flowers. And showing us what this particular phenotype decided to become. No drama. No complaints. Just beautiful progress. 💜🌿✨ Until next week... Keep doing your thing, Purple CousKush. I'll be watching. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💜

This was the end of the second week. I've observed that the plants were a bit different from one another; one of them looks like it is not developing healthily

Alright grow cycle, mistakes, improvements, etc... She did stay in veg for too long, her growth was slow and not the best and so she took quite long, next time i'll be there from the beginning so I can take care of her throughout. But her growth is really fun. It is a tall growing sativa with fairly tight noding when trained accordingly, producing long filled colas. The buds grow fairly dense and fluffly but do air out a little when dried. Trichome production was pretty impressive as well as terpene production. She had thrips since her early days but did not seem to mind them at all. I did spray them initially but once flower started I stopped. I believe predatory mites might have been feeding on the pupae in the soil, if that is what this specific species of thrips did, the reason I say that is I could never see adults only larvae. Whatever the case maybe they were there but the population never really increased. Something I did not mention during the grow is that those plants were played music during the days, music that is apparently developed for plants. The 10L pot was WAY too small for a true sustainable living organic and to provide enough space for the plant, that was a mistake, I'd say a 20L would be the bare minimum and still. The bigger the better. The hempy transfer did not hurt the plant and I believe even helped to some extent, BUT, I am still running test on the subject and so can't confirm anything, here are my observations Roots did not colonize the perlite, a little on top and the sides but that was it, I was expecting to see a big root mass in there. I believe hempy are great for salt fert as it hold a soup of nutes where the plant can feed from since the coco only holds very little Whereas in nature most nutrient are in the top soil where the highest amount of decomposition happens, this is where the highest microbial activity happens and so where the plant will find food. Living organic is trying to reproduce nature and so there is no need for the plant's roots to gather at the bottom of the pot. Although it could have potentially provided the plant access to a larger amount of water and possibly more oxygenation of the pot. Those are all theories, please speak up if you have other proofs. In conclusion , unless i get proven otherwise by someone or my latest running experiment , I will not be using hempies again as I believe it brings more complication and issues than a simple fabric pot. The lights, The 600w at the start was good, then I decided to add a 400w...😂 That was completely overkill and not necessary. Waste of electricity. And they started suffering from too much light it seems at some point, I raised the light by a good 30 cm and they were fine. 600 is more than enough. I am happy about how the soil performed but it has room for improvements. As for the watering technique I have been watering large ammount every few days, next time I will be giving constant small amount of water each day and a soak every week or so, I believe the soil might perform better under those conditions. She was also an easy plant to harvest whit her long colas which had very little foliage, I do trim in excess as I like my buds extra clean but the buds are not excessively bushy. The trims were use to make some bubble hash, around 100g of wet trims yielded around 1.5-2g of bubble hash. I did add a negative effect but only because it wouldn't give me a smile otherwise, but to be honnest it barely dries your mouth. The soil is going to be recycled and reused in a next grow. I can't think of anything else at the moment but if you have any question don't hesitate.

Start of week 5... Looking back at the first few weeks of veg, i never imagined that they would thrive this good in week 5 already! (Look back at week 1+2 for horror pictures) Whole of week 4 i worked on my climate control automation. I will keep the set up for atleast a week. 👽👉26/9 Big LST day. I got new supplies to manage the rest of the ladies properly. Topped another one ( 5/6 is topped) Cut just a couple of leaves. The crusty ones that did not receive light and the ones casting shadows over my lovely budsights. 👽👉27/9 Waterday* and recovery 2ml/L Bio heaven + fish mix / 6.4 PH 1.68 ECLetting them recover Humidity a bit higher during night because of watering, turned the temp up to match the VPD. 👽👉28/9 They look content, humidity a bit higher during night because of watering. 👽👉29/9 I am happy how you thrive, but they need some pruning/defoliation as soon as they have recovered from the stress training. 👽👉30/9 Did some defoliation, decided to flip to flower after their recovery. 👽👉1/10 They had a case of empty humidifier, resulting in high vpd for 7hours. Water day* 2.1xml/L Bio heaven + fish mix / 6.2 PH 1.75 EC 👽👉2/10 They look great, healthy and happy! Climate is back on point

Hallo liebe Gartenfreunde, Es gab Bei uns Standort Veränderungen. Der gesamte Damen Balkon ist heute Morgen in den Indoor Bereich gezogen. Die Umwelteinflüsse waren kaum noch auszuhalten. Alle samt haben vorher SF- Nematoden inkl. Raubmilben- Beutel verabreicht bekommen. Zusätzlich konnten wir auch die lästigen Ameisen bekämpfen bis stanDie re veg P.C.K. ist in das 60er Zelt und verbringt ihre Freizeit dort allein. Warum,? Sie befindet sich noch nicht wieder in der Wachstumsphase und kann natürlich immer noch im HEMA Bereich anfangen zu zicken. Bisher nach Kontrolle bei heutigem Entlauben, keine Anzeichen gefunden. Ja die P.C.K Dame die sich gut im und hier noch gut erholt hat, steht wieder sehr nett da 🤩 Nach dem Umzug heute wird jetzt bis Samstag immer eine Stunde weniger Licht auf dem Programm stehen, so das sie am Samstag dann Blütetag 1 erreichen. Ja ansonsten freuen wir uns auf die kommende Woche und wünschen allen somit auch eine angenehme und erfolgreiche Woche! Vielen herzlichen Dank auch im Voraus für das reinschauen, ggf.

Probably the smoothest week since the start, I think that this pheno is a light feeder compared to Strawberry Lemonade in DWC, still running EC at 0.9 max and they’re doing fine, will be increasing the EC in a few days time to around 1.2, last thing I want is lockout during the stretch! Roots are pretty darn big, the bottom right plant is growing well again now although she has probably lost a week or two on the rest of the pack, I’ll try to train plants close to her away so she can get a decent share of light. Flipping them to 12/12 today so the long march to harvest starts now. Dates on the time lapse are unfortunately the dates I uploaded to the app, not necessarily when the pic was taken, but it gives a good enough steer on progress and how long it has taken. Take care all!

the cut went well, I had left it in the dark for 2 days before, drying for 12 days at 60% humidity! delighted to taste it, it's the best of this run!

This week was a little rocky. Two girls on the outer edges are good, but the middle one is drooping and foxtailing already. It's weird because my middle plant was larfy last run as well. I might push her to the corner and let her do her thing with less attention... because I just got a photoperiod runtz clone that's gonna need some space and perhaps its own light. LST seems to be going well for the other two though. Sometimes with autos, it's just a genetic thing. They can be temperamental girls sometimes.

This baby's doing great

Buds getting dense now, absolutely covered in thc, smells very orangey. Really happy with how it’s going so far.

Well that was her last week! 😎 I think she's done well in her 10 litre fabric pot. 😍 Will be harvested within 24h.

Looks a litle purple 💜
