Week 14 Day 92 (10/16) Checked her trichomes and she's just starting to show some amber. She may need watered tonight, probably will add in some Mammoth P and molasses too. Day 93 (10/17) I've been slacking on updates and pics, but there's just not too much to say or document. She's still doing her thing, really looking more frosty than the first partial harvest. Thinking I should have waited a bit longer for the first cut, but oh well, it still gets the job done. I have held off on watering as her pot is still pretty heavy. It was lighter this morning so maybe this afternoon I will water her. I'm keeping an eye on her trichomes as I want there to be more amber for the final harvest. Day 94 (10/18) Everything from the partial harvest has been dried and I finally weighed it all. Came out to around 48.5g (including the 4-5g we've been smoking on). There's still plenty more on her. Everything has been jarred up for a few days and I've got Boveda packs in the jars too. Day 98 (10/22) Checked the trichomes this morning and I think I might put her in the dark for 48 hours starting tomorrow night. She's turning into a fuggin 100 day auto. Day 99 (10/23) Well, I made the executive decision to prep her for harvest. When her lights went off last night, I unplugged it from the timer so she'll have her 48 hours of dark. I also added some ice cubes around her base. I've read about the dark helping and the ice simulating a frost, but I've never done this so we'll see. Shouldn't hurt right? So I'll be harvesting her Saturday night or Sunday. And hopefully popping another over the weekend 😃 Day 100 (10/24) Well she's been in the dark almost her 48 hours. I have family in town tonight, so she may have to wait until tomorrow to get cut. Or I might just stay up half the night and get her down tonight lol. We'll see. Day 101 (10/25) Technically week 15, but who's counting. Cut her down today. Got her cleaned up and into paper bags to dry. Will get a weight and post the harvest once she's dry. Getting another one ready to go 😉

This girl is surprising every week her growth has doubled after changing from 20/4 to 18/6 I noticed that she accepted the nutrients better she took more color height referring to her sisters she is bigger, beginning of flower, something fast even as sprinters are accepting increases of 100 ppm by irrigation without burning the lights are not so close to the canopy, usually the autos that don't grow much, come in search of lights elongating their grow more without light deficit, (strong light, further from the canopy.

The seed drowned in glass of watter, planted in a prepared pot Initially spilled 6 liters of osmos, up to 80 ppm drainage Then compressed 448 ppm canna aqua +Ca +Rizatonic Landed a little way back from the cent of the pot, by analogy with the previous grove, to the place where he moved on the 16th day. First training: realizing where the first two points of growth will appear, corrected the stem With the door closed, the illumination is about 50,000 lux, at the same time only ceiling lighting of 100 volts is involved: 39 red (700 mA), 26 blue (248 mA), 35 white (82.6 ma) The plant is rotated 90 degrees relative to the shoot, and is ready for training, the luminaire produces slightly warm air, ventilation is at minimum values, while due to the air flow washer machine, the temperature in the box is 2 degrees less than room

Beautifull plant she turns almost black now the terpines start to smell heavy a combination of coca cola, flowers, candy and rainbows 🌈

Both Plants looking good. Bud growth doing really well, they are fattening up good. Trichomes, monitoring daily, seen a few Amber on both plants. Mimosa: strong citrus and earthy smell. Pipe Light Kent: strong smell, buds are fatter than Mimosa. Both plants close to harvest, leaves are turning yellow. Stopped a couple of nutrients, following FoxFarm feeding schedule for soils.

Test

One of the ladies is still ill ... 🤷

week 8 flower solo cup challenge

Trying to limit the stretch. Not worried about height as much as width. I might remove plant clips once stretch slows. Full AN run. Adding big bud (removing ignitor). Running candy and tasty next week. Bud factor X week 3

so I'll start by saying that I'm a "fool" :D it's not an automatic flower, it was clearly written on the package :D it just so happened that I planted two different ladies on the same day, and somehow it came together in my head that she was an auto :D but it turns out that she is a real female plant :) wedding cake fem :) well, nothing like that on day 46, I switched the light cycle to 12/12, and it's not a big problem that she is a photo, the only problem is that there are two of them growing in the tent and one of them is already a blooming auto flower, so she will also now only get 12 hours of light instead of 18 :) As my teacher @AsNoriu would say: smoke less than you plan :) :) :) overall, the girl is growing really well :) good luck to everyone :).

💜 Week 6 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno B) Growing Without a Hurry One of my favourite lessons from this entire 8×8 Adventure has been learning not to measure success with a ruler. Some plants race toward the finish line, stretching with incredible determination. Others quietly settle into themselves, carefully building strength before revealing what they have planned. This Purple CousKush belongs to the second group. She's never tried to compete with her sisters. She simply grows at her own pace, never rushed, never stressed, never trying to be anything other than herself. And honestly... I wouldn't change a thing. 🌱 Plant Development Week 6 finds this beautiful lady standing at approximately 66 cm, making her one of the more compact Purple CousKush phenotypes in the room. While some of the other ladies have focused on vertical growth, she has invested her energy into creating a wonderfully balanced frame with sturdy branches and beautifully healthy foliage. The flowers are now beginning to establish themselves across every branch. Fresh white pistils continue appearing at every node, and although the buds remain small for now, their formation is wonderfully even throughout the canopy. One feature that keeps drawing my attention is her foliage. The leaves carry a rich, deep emerald-green colour that immediately speaks of excellent health. Even more interesting are the gentle curves at the tips of several leaves, almost as if they're curling a finger and inviting you to come a little closer. Every plant has its own little signature. Those playful leaves have become hers. 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions This week brought another period of stable environmental conditions, allowing the plant to continue developing without interruption. • 12/12 light schedule from seed • Future of Grow Black Series LED delivering approximately 850 PPFD • Mammoth Pro grow tent • Day temperature around 29°C • Night temperature around 25°C • Relative humidity averaging 60% • CO₂ approximately 639 ppm • pH 6.0 • EC 1.78 mS/cm Despite the warm summer conditions, she continues showing exceptional health. Leaf colour remains vibrant, stems continue strengthening and there isn't a single indication that she's under any environmental stress. Sometimes quiet progress is still outstanding progress. 💧 Feeding Program Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container and hand-watered with approximately 1.1 litres per irrigation, she continues responding beautifully to the current bloom feeding schedule. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L The balance between nutrition and growth continues to be exactly where I want it. The rich green foliage, healthy new growth and consistent flower development all suggest she's receiving everything she needs without asking for anything more. No corrections. No chasing numbers. Just letting the plant do what she does best. 🌸 Phenotype Notes This phenotype reminds me that every seed carries its own personality. She's certainly not the biggest plant in the room, but she's far from the smallest story. Everything about her feels deliberate. Her internodes remain nicely spaced, the branching is symmetrical, and her compact stature gives the impression of a plant that's quietly preparing for the weeks ahead rather than trying to impress anyone today. Looking closely at the flowering sites, it's clear she's beginning to shift more energy toward bud production. Every branch carries clusters of fresh pistils, hinting at the shape she's slowly becoming. She's teaching patience. And patience has always been one of a grower's greatest tools. 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the coming week I expect the flowering sites to begin stacking more noticeably as the stretch gradually slows. The framework is already there. Now it's simply a matter of allowing time to do its work. With her healthy root system, vibrant foliage and naturally balanced structure, I'm excited to watch these small flower clusters slowly transform into properly formed colas over the next few weeks. She may never become the tallest plant in the room. But she may very well become one of the prettiest. 💭 Final Thoughts Plants like this remind me why comparisons rarely tell the full story. It's easy to admire the tallest plant or the fastest flowering phenotype. But there's something incredibly rewarding about watching a quieter plant confidently follow her own rhythm without ever looking unhealthy or unhappy. This Purple CousKush doesn't seem interested in racing. She's simply enjoying the journey. Healthy. Balanced. Elegant. Confident in her own timing. Sometimes the most beautiful gardens are built by plants that never felt the need to hurry. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Every comment, every question and every shared experience makes this journey even more enjoyable. A special thank you to the amazing companies helping bring this grow to life: 💜 Zamnesia for the incredible Purple CousKush genetics. 💜 Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these ladies thriving. 💜 Future of Grow for the outstanding Black Series lighting. 💜 TrolMaster for helping maintain a stable environment from start to finish. And finally, thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community. Whether you're here to learn, share your own journey or simply enjoy watching these phenotypes develop, I truly appreciate every visit and every conversation. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Found some sign of nutrient burn on leaf tip of one BCN. On the end of week 6 both BCN leaf looking turn to lighter shade not sure some problem? Pineapple starting show a bit of white hairy on top that start flowering on end of this week 6. I start to feed flower fuel on both BCN and another Pineapple i still feed same as last week.

👇 This week: --- Watered again as usual with the standard Plagron scheme + Calmag (last feeding with Alga Grow) (PLEASE CHECK YOUR WATER BEFORE USING CALMAG) Phosphorus foliar spray - red stems pretty much gone now PPFD at canopy height approximately 350-400, VPD ~1 Performed a major defoliation again Ordered more Autopots 😂 --- Happy growing and thanks for checking out my report! I really appreciate you! 😁💪🙏

First ever harvest! Plant #2 has been covered in trichomes for the last two weeks and with a jeweler's magnifying glass and my camera phone zooming 7x it's clear that many of trichomes have turned amber. I chopped her down last night and have been hanging the branches upside down in a cardboard box with a fan and dehumidifier. I've read I should keep the temperature in the 70s F and the humidity around 50%. I'm doing my best but the garage isn't well insulated so I'm at the mercy of the weather. I'll keep an eye on them and when the branches snap easily I'll get them in jars for curing. Plant #1 still has some time to go. The branches are filling out but to the naked eye there are no trichomes. When I look with the magnifying glass I can see them but I'm concerned that #2 had been coated in them for about two weeks now. Should I just wait? I think I'll just wait

After a 7 Day dry, theyre ready for the bags. Did a final dry trim of them, was thorough but not overly. Excited on how they will smell and taste once cured!

So far 2 ounces under the single mars TS1000 7 oz from the 3 plants at the hps flower room One plant weighed and curing from the hps dark devils x3 First hps dark devil weighing 3 ounces. Dark devil (lighter color) hps grow Look: 9 Smell: 8 (chocolate scent) Density: 4 Moisture: 2 Taste: 7 High: 10 Crash: 0 This dark devil is a little less dense then the other but still looks very unique with its purplish tinge and orange hairs. The smell is a chocolate lovers heaven as the smoke is very flavorful with the delicious scent of chocolate! The taste is diesely with a hint of earthly undertones and aftertaste that tastes even better imo. As for the high, it's a slow and steady mellow high; high function kind of high, not crazy relaxing but not super energetic. It's a very nice and calm get things done feeling. The end of the high is very mellow as well; there's really no crash and my hunger hasn't spiked and I'm an hour and a half into it! Summary: This strain of dark devil is a good choice is your a high functioning smoker and enjoy a nice mellow relaxing high with aromas that make the experience just that much better! 8/10

Hey! Welcome to week 8! Karen is mid way through her flowering stretch. Please check back to last week as I update daily so the week is now complete. I count about 20 colas now. Day 51: Have reconfigured the tent, see video. Karen is now 36cm and still stretching. Karen has more light now. Smell is still there hits you when you open the tent. Fertigated 2l. Day 52: Height: 39cm. Karen's scent is heavenly. I have reconfigured again and installed some upgrades. Better reflector. Much bigger carbon filter. Increased airflow. Better config. More efficient pot layout. Karen is lovely. I am grateful to her and for her, so I wrote her a little poem, I hope she liked it. "Karen! Oh Karen! The phoenix of flowers, Three lowly weeks she struggled in vain, Shadowed and starved for five hundred hours, He slowly wept to witness her pain. Karen! Oh Karen! I P-H'd your showers, and in the fourth week you started to gain, Hallowed and hard you survived as you cowered, I thought you meek, I was wrong once again. Karen! Oh Karen! Forgave me my howlers. She set a pace, a pace she maintained, Now shes a girl at the peak of her powers, And so I'm a geek, with buds on the brain." Day 53: Approx 48h into a simulated dry spell. Alright I think it is time for Karen to get her first MAJOR defoliation. I will update shortly with photos and info. I will also be doing some gentle LST to separate the colas a bit. Day 53.5: Defoliation and LST. Finally got chance to photograph that bunda. Enjoy! Day 53.75: Bit of a fail. Messed up the timer and the lights ended up being off for about 3 or 4 hours. Because I was cooling the room (open window) to keep temperature in the tent down, without any light the temperatures absolutely plummeted as it is sub-zero outside. By the time I realised and turned the lights on, the temp in the main tent had dropped to 14 degrees celsius. Whoops! How is that for mistreating your girl? Defoliated about 80% of her leaves, 4 nodes, significant LST, then stuck her in the cold and dark for 1/6 of a day. Not to mention she is now almost 3 days into a "dry spell". There do not seem to be ill effects, and Karen has already begun to respond to the LST; all the colas that had been changed in angle are now upright again. The dry spell I keep mentioning, there is a method behind my madness, I have spotted one or two small flies and I think they may be fungus gnats. I am starting to suspect that the 2nd seedling in the Purple OG Punch Auto grow was actually beheaded by fungus gnat larvae. So I am drying out the mediums as much as I dare. I am closely monitoring the plants, so far the only one I have had to break the drought for is Enigma; all the girls in big pots haven't even noticed it's dry yet. How far am I going to push it? Well I will judge it on a plant by plant basis, but quite honestly I am hoping to see physical signs of thirst before I breakdrought. Of all the plants the two I think will respond most strongly to this will be Karen and Bertha, because of where they are. Karen here is actually probably 4 weeks into flowering rather than two, so about now is a good time to give her a little hydration stress. I do not think I will push it past 5 days, as RH is 34%. By now all the plants will be compensating for the lack of moisture and the high temperatures and low humidity. They will be taking more and more moisture out of the coco, and as the coco dries further and further down, those plants that have space will start desperately growing roots to find moisture. Mark my words, 24 hours after I end this drought, every plant in the tent will throw out crazy growth. Day 54: Ended drought and fertigated 6l, no run off, I will re-fertigate tomorrow. Karen is still stretching her height post LST is now 37cm. The two tallest colas seem to have stopped but the other colas are still stretching. Day 55: Alright so it has been 5 hours since lights on, and Karen is looking in good shape, all her drooping leaves have perked back up and she has added quite a bit of foliar growth. The colas are all still rising, except perhaps the two tallest. This girl is absolutely loaded with pistils, I'm starting to see trichomes on the sugar leaves, but trich production hasn't started in earnest yet. She has a least 20 colas, and 6 of them are thicker/taller than the primary cola at her tip. Every one of her nodes has reinforced itself with a bulbous growth and these cola branches are swelling rapidly. I am increasingly of the opinion that, all being well, this girl is going to surprise us all with her yield. My first grow, which was just mucking about really, I got 60-70g of the two main plants, and they were just bare sticks with 2 colas. Although her height is less than theirs was, 2/3 of their height was bare stick... whereas every mm of her is befoliaged and living. So in terms of the height of the actual cola I think they were about comparable in usable space on a per cola basis. The main difference being that Karen has 20+ colas whereas they had 2 primary and 2 lower. I know that it is probably unrealistic to expect more than 70g from a single auto grown indoors. Nevertheless my gut tells me this baby could achieve at least 100g, perhaps as much as 150g. The next few weeks will determine that, but given where we were in week 3 I will be grateful for any yield of quality bud. I have dropped the lights down to 18/6 from 'tonight' onwards. I really have no idea how long we have left for Karen. According the the "brochure" she flowers for 7-8 weeks, with a total crop time of 9 weeks. The problem is I don't know what a total crop time is? Does that mean from seed to finish? If so Karen is clearly not going to be anywhere near that timescale.I am going to go ahead an assume that, for my plant anyway, the first 4 weeks were veg weeks. I think it is fair to count week 5 and 6 as flowering because pistils were popping out very early in week 5 if not before. So that makes this week four of flowering. I am going to assume 8 weeks rather than 7, so I think we have another 4 full weeks give or take a week. On that basis I am expect harvest week to be around week 12 or so. I am not fixed on this though, I am determined not to harvest this girl early. Day 55: Photos taken 00:00 9/3/23 Strong 24h of veg growth as predicted. Day 56: Existing leaves continue to swell. Stretch appears to be slowing. I've taken so many media this week that I cannot scroll down far enough to select a recent thumbnail. Probably Karen's biggest week in terms of changes. She is looking like she is going to impress. Height 39cm.
