๐ŸŒฑ White OG - Week 11 VEG Strain: White OG by Seedsman Seeds Stage: Week 11 Vegetative Grower: DogDoctor Medium: PRO-MIX HP Mycorrhizae + Bacillus Pot: 30L Fabric Pot Lighting: Future of Grow LEDs Climate Control: TrolMaster Nutrients: Aptus Holland Clean Program Environment: ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Temp: 18.3ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง pH: 6.0 โšก EC: 1.0 โธป ๐Ÿ”„ The Last Week Before the Flip Week 11โ€ฆ a moment of calm before the bloom storm. A critical phase in our girlโ€™s journey. This is the week we prepare her for greatness. ๐Ÿ’ช โœ… Defoliation Madness: This week, we defoliate the hell out of her. Thatโ€™s rightโ€”removing those large fan leaves that block light, those unnecessary suckers that wonโ€™t make it to the top floor, and freeing up her inner structure to breathe and expand. Why now? Because right before flipping to flower is the perfect time to help her redirect energy to the strong tops and main branches. It reduces the risk of mold, improves air circulation, and ensures even light distribution. Plus, it gives us a blank canvas for the flower stage to explode onto. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’ฅ โœ… Clamp Release & Scrog Setup: We gently remove the training clamps, and in she goes into the SCROG net. But not in a rigid wayโ€”weโ€™re inviting her to stretch, encouraging her to reach out and take up space. Sheโ€™s a big mama now, and itโ€™s time she gets the full stage. Each branch is dancing through the net like a diva ready for her solo performance. โœ… Roots on a Mission: Sheโ€™s hungry for life. Roots are peeking out from the fabric pot, diving toward the light, the floorโ€”everywhere. This PRO-MIX soil is magic, and with the help of the Aptus Clean Mix, sheโ€™s thriving. Her root zone is bright white and packed with potential. Healthy roots, healthy shoots, happy fruit. โธป Feeding This Week Weโ€™re still rolling with the Aptus Clean Line for this stage.

Hello everyone, I made a mistake with the pk13/14 and used the double amount 3ml per liter happily i have no salt buildup in the soil and the runoff is 950ppm. Foxtailing on the two amnesia haze plants due to low hanging lights but that's not a big issue for me. I will stop adding pk13/14 for the amnesia in the back and the amnesia fast on the right side. The amnesia on the left will get a view days pk13/14 in her feeding. Everything is going well with the plants and in 2 weeks from now i will start flushing the nutrients out of the soil. Thanks for stopping by and have a nice day. Regards, Growfather

Meine Mutter wollte schon immer eine Cannabis Pflanze haben. Jetzt wo es hier legal ist (Juhu) hat sie eine von mir bekommen. Die Peanutbutter cookies von Pure Intenso war bis jetzt eine, die am besten wachsene Pflanze bei mir deswegen habe ich mich fรผr diese Sorte entschieden , und weil meine Mum auch sehr gerne Kekse backt... ๐Ÿ˜ Mal hoffen das es Ihre Tomaten รผberleben.. Natรผrlich bekommt Ihr freund auch noch eine verpasst... Ich bekomme wรถchentliche Bilder von Ihr damit Ich das dann hier rein stelle.. Normale Erde fรผr die Wachstumsphase mit Perlite und Wรผrmer Humus

Day 28 and these girls are in full stretch. I see a difference in them almost daily now. I top dressed them with 3 Tbs of Gaia Green 4-4-4 All Purpose and 2-8-4 Power Bloom each. Then watered them in real good after that. I split 1 gallon of PH adjusted, declorinated tap water between them.

Terps are here, I definitely made a good choice by replacing my old carbon filter. This strain is very gassy and skunky. No fruit, candy, or citrus. Pheno 2 is finally maturing now, seems she is slower to flower. She is bulking up now pheno 2. Pheno 3 is doing well, probably going to be the first to harvest. Pheno 1 is locked out and no real progress after I burned her. I'm thinking of chucking Pheno 1 or putting it outside to finish. I have clones of all the plants, ready to flip and grow flower again. I also have started 3 different strains in baggies. 6 seeds in all. 3 regular seeds and 3 fem seeds. I have No Training Wheels by TERP Fiend x3, Ocifer by Brother's Grimm x2, and Destination Wedding by Dirty Bird Genetics x1. I hope all get to sprout. If not I have back up seeds of No Training Wheels and other strains from Lit Farms.

todo muy bien! esperando paciente el desarrollo de los cogollos, conociendo y viendo los puntos de maduracion asi como la fertilizacion ajustando a su maximo que creemos posible para incentivar que los cogollos engorden, ahora en adelante les hare segumiento de la grande principalmente, que es la que cumple con la edad del diario, ya que las otras como se explico en un principio venian recien cultivadas por eso tienen un par de semanas de retraso , tambien hay una hermafrodita, que al detectar como comentamos semanas anteriores aplicamos al tecnica vista de un cultivador mexicano, consistia en romper los brotes de machos las pelotas con el fin de que no vuelvan a salir, dejando solo los pelos estigmas de las hermbras, si bien el cogollo queda maltratado, al parecer se detiene el crecimiento, asi que estamos viendo como rinde ese experimento.

Resoconto sulla fioritura: la fioritura procede bene , sto iniziando anche ad apprezzare la pianta che sta facendo tanto foxtail, sembra quasi una doc grinspoon ๐Ÿ˜‰ La pianta cimata e la pianta a cui involontariamente ho fatto fim stanno indietro rispetto alle altre, per tutte le piante tranne queste due credo che il ciclo si chiuderร  a 14 settimane Nutrienti: ho dato Bloom booster di t.a. e top auto di top crop Parassiti: ho trovato segni un po' ovunque sulle piante di questo ciclo, sto togliendo tutto ciรฒ che posso togliere mi manca solo aspirare sulle foglie delle piante con l' aspirapolvere ma poi sarebbe follia? voglio chiudere questo ciclo e mi dispiace tanto che le piante sono iniziate a fiorire quando non me lo aspettavo quindi non ho piรน avuto tempo per fare la profilassi antiparassiti Considerazioni personali: faccio queste afghane da 4 anni ormai sempre come primo ciclo della stagione e ogni anno vengono piรน belle dell' anno prima, per quanto.sono venute bene quest' anno credo che le pianterรณ ancora e ancora finchรฉ i giovani del tempo di un me ormai vecchio non vorranno piรน la cara vecchia afghana๐Ÿ’›

Did a little cleaning up the bottom this week and I am loving this plant! Sheโ€™s my favorite of the two fast flowering photos I am runningโ€” just a healthy stunning plant! Started with bloom nutes this week and she is truly a fast flowering photo! I usually see these results on week three/four and itโ€™s week 2! โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’š

After a questionable start, she's up and going, so the grow off is official! I have plugged in some organic items into a Pro Mix HP base to get this lady out of the blocks organically and get that root system spread out through the nursery pot. I fed some wicking cord through the drainage holes to make a sip system, basically bottom watering to deepen the root system development. I layered the soil into the pot so the available nutrients increase as the roots descend. I added a little mycorrhizae in the soil where the seed was placed to get things cooking and used Recharge adjusted to 6.0 pH to buffer my amended starter mix. Now that she's showing a little more vigor, I'm adding a little Kelp, CalMag+, and MegaCrop for her to sip on... A little organo-salt treatment that will make sure she's got all she needs available to allowing her to really blow up!

-Sensi Seeds Research: The Sensi Seeds Research breeding project has created eleven cannabis seed varieties. How? By combining new cannabis cultivars with a selection of strains from their long-established cannabis gene bank. For the first time in thirty-six years, they are opening the doors of the Sensi Seeds Research and Development Department. Week 8 finished, this is where Vegging longer Indoor starts to become a waste of time,energy and money, you can go for another last week if needed but any longer than 9 weeks makes no sense ! By the way thereโ€™s just enough space left between top of canopy, the lamps, and ceiling for the Flowering stage ( keep in mind that the plants will stretch about twice in size during the stretch phase ), meaning itโ€™s really the time to switch to 12/12 ( otherwise the plants will finish too close to the light ). For now on, the genetics are excellent, even the Black Domina didnโ€™t mind to be topped. Seams like everyone is suitable for the ScrOG method, almost every holes are occupied by a shoot, the trellis is full at around 90 to 95 % , at least all the light coverage is used which is the main goal to reach ! Had to fed them on the 24/08 and watered them on the 27/08 to keep the soil moist but not dampened ! Itโ€™s Ganja, not water lilies in a swamp ! Unfortunately, thereโ€™s no perfect schedule for watering plants. The quantity needed by cycles depends on the size of your pots, the size of your plants and the environment, and the rule is the same for the period between two cycles. This is where you can be the only judge and you must learn to read your plants leaves (overwatering symptoms: droopy leaves with some kinds of speed bumps between the veins). So technically, this is where if you work in a Grow Operation, the Boss is happy, youโ€™re killing it with just two conventional 600w fixed on large wings and no professional lightening equipment like Gavitaโ€™s ๐Ÿ˜Ž Stay tuned folks, just hit the like button and subscribe for the incoming Stretch and Bloom stage ๐Ÿ˜‰ (Iโ€™m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control ๐Ÿž)

Day 58, 7th of November 2020: The 6th day since the lamp switched to be 12/12. I raised up the nutrition intake as it can be seen above only the BioBizz family 2ml/l and removed some LST because the plants remain in shape or just set a bit but nothing significant.... They look good and strech is on the way..... These Original Sensible ones are having really nice smell :) Nothing really to report there is crazy 2-3 weeks from now ;)

๐Ÿ’œ Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 13 โœจ The Macro World Has Entered the Chat โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’œ Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š And this week... I think we need to get a little closer. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because from across the room, Purple CousKush Pheno A already looks beautiful. But then you pick up the camera... You move closer... And then closer again... And suddenly... OH MY GOD. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ The macro world is absolutely ridiculous. The density. The frost. The trichomes. The detail. The way the flowers are packed together. It's one of those moments where you think you already know what the plant looks like... and then the macro lens basically says: "No. You have seen NOTHING yet." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธโ„๏ธ And that's exactly what happened with this girl this week. Purple CousKush Pheno A is shining. But when we stop looking at her as a whole plant and start looking at the individual flowers... WOW. Just wow. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ WEEK 13 โ€“ WELCOME TO THE MACRO WORLD This week, the big story isn't really about the overall plant. It's about what's happening inside the flowers. Because from a normal distance, she looks beautiful. But the closer we get... the more impressive she becomes. The flowers are dense. The trichome coverage is incredible. The resin production is absolutely catching my attention. And the amount of detail packed into these little structures is just... beautiful. โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ This is exactly why I love photography. You can walk into the room every day and look at the same plant. You know she's beautiful. You know she's frosty. You know she's developing. But then you photograph her properly... and suddenly you discover another world. A microscopic little universe hiding inside the flowers. And Purple CousKush is giving us a VERY nice view of that universe. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ THE FROST IS NO JOKE Let's talk about the obvious. The frost. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ Because this girl is absolutely covered. When you're looking at the plant normally, you already see that beautiful frosty appearance. But once we start moving into the macro world... it's a completely different story. Trichomes everywhere. Structures covered in resin. Little details that you simply cannot appreciate from a normal distance. And that's what makes these photographs so satisfying. You suddenly realize just how much is happening on every flower. It's not just: "Nice frosty plant." It's: "Wait... HOW MUCH FROST IS ACTUALLY ON THIS THING?" ๐Ÿ˜‚โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ And then you zoom in again. And somehow... there's even more. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ DENSE. BEAUTIFUL. PACKED. Another thing that's really catching my attention is the density. The flowers aren't just visually frosty. They're looking beautifully packed together. There is so much structure happening inside these little flowers that the macro photographs almost make them look like completely different plants. From across the room: Beautiful flowering plant. From close range: A little forest of flowers, resin and trichomes. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฌ That's one of the things I love about this stage. The plant has already built the structure. Now we get to appreciate the details inside it. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is giving us plenty of details to appreciate. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE CAMERA I honestly think photography changes the way you grow. Not because the camera does anything to the plant... but because it makes you LOOK. Really look. You stop. You focus. You examine. You notice things you might otherwise walk straight past. And when I start looking at Purple CousKush through the macro lens... I can easily lose myself in there. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ One flower becomes another photograph. Another angle reveals another layer. The trichomes catch the light. The pistils create contrast. The flower structure becomes almost architectural. And suddenly... I've forgotten that I was supposed to be doing something else. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This is the kind of photography I really enjoy. Not just taking a picture of a plant. Actually exploring the plant. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ I MAY HAVE MIXED UP THE STACKS And now I have to confess something. I may have mixed up some of the stacking photographs between Purple CousKush Pheno A and her sister. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ When you're dealing with this many photographs, this many merged stacks and two sisters developing alongside each other... well... sometimes the photographer becomes part of the experiment. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ So I'm dividing some of those beautiful macro results between this report and the next one. And honestly? I'm not even disappointed. Because the funny part is... both girls are looking absolutely incredible when we get close. Both are showing amazing frost. Both have beautiful flower structures. Both are giving us those ridiculous trichome-covered macro views. So even if I accidentally swapped a few stacks... I know I'm not losing anything. The next report will give her sister her own spotlight too. And you'll understand exactly what I mean. These two girls are absolutely worth getting close to. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘€ THE ROOM VIEW VS. THE MACRO VIEW This is another thing I love about the 8ร—8 Adventure. You can look at the room... and see twelve plants. You can look at an individual plant... and see one phenotype. Then you take a macro photograph... and suddenly you're looking at something completely different again. It's almost like three different levels of observation. ๐ŸŒฟ The room. ๐ŸŒธ The plant. ๐Ÿ”ฌ The flower. And each level tells you something different. The room tells us how different the genetics are behaving together. The plant tells us the phenotype's overall personality. The macro photograph tells us what is happening inside the flowers. And this week... the macro world is winning. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’œ PURPLE COUSKUSH IS STILL KEEPING ME CURIOUS Even after all these weeks, I still find myself looking at this girl and thinking: "What exactly are you going to become?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ She continues to evolve. She continues to develop. And now that we're looking this closely, I'm becoming even more interested in the details. The flower density. The resin. The trichomes. The way the individual structures are developing. Everything is becoming more pronounced. And I don't want to force a conclusion. I want to let her show us. That's one of the most enjoyable parts of this entire project. We start with genetics. We provide the same general environment. And then... we watch the genetics speak. Purple CousKush is speaking pretty loudly right now. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SAME ROOM. DIFFERENT EXPRESSION. And once again, we come back to the heart of the 8ร—8 Adventure. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting ecosystem. Same overall nutritional philosophy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same grower. And completely different expressions. That's what makes this project so much fun. You can't simply say: "This is what the genetics do." Because which plant? Which phenotype? Which individual expression? The sisters can be right beside each other and still give us different stories. And that's exactly what we're documenting. Purple CousKush Pheno A has her own story. Her sister has hers. And now we're getting to see those stories in microscopic detail. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก SAME PHOTONS. DIFFERENT RESULT. The lighting environment remains part of the same upgraded Future of Grow Black Series setup we've been running throughout the room. The additional Black Series 600W fixtures continue giving the room more lighting capability and flexibility. But once again... the interesting part isn't simply the light. It's what the plants do with it. The same artificial sun shines over the room. The same photons reach the canopy. And then... the genetics decide what happens. Purple CousKush has taken those photons and turned them into this. Flowers. Density. Resin. Trichomes. And an absolutely ridiculous macro subject. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ That's the experiment. We provide the stage. The genetics put on the performance. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ THE BIG WORK IS STILL BEHIND US And just like the previous weeks... there isn't much for me to do physically with this girl. And that's actually a good thing. The major structural work has already happened. The room is established. The plants are established. The flowers are established. Now? We maintain. We observe. We document. And we let the plants continue doing what they already know how to do. Sometimes growing means doing things. Sometimes growing means making decisions. And sometimes... growing means standing there with a camera saying: "Jesus Christ..." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ I'll happily accept that job. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฌ THE MACRO WORLD NEVER GETS OLD I have to admit... I really love macro photography. There is something almost addictive about seeing these flowers at that level of detail. You start looking at one trichome. Then another. Then the surrounding resin. Then the flower structure. Then suddenly you're completely lost. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌโ„๏ธ It's like entering another world. And that's why I don't mind spending time with these photographs. Because when you get a result like this... it's not just documentation anymore. It's appreciation. You're looking at something the naked eye simply cannot fully appreciate. And Purple CousKush is giving us a fantastic subject for it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ EVERY STACK TELLS A LITTLE STORY One of the things I enjoy about stacking photographs is that it lets us capture details that a single frame simply can't communicate in the same way. A flower isn't just one flat object. It's depth. Layers. Different surfaces. Different structures. And when all of those little details come together... you get an image that makes you stop. That's what I'm seeing with these Purple CousKush photographs. And honestly... some of them make me want to keep going. Another stack. Another flower. Another angle. Another close-up. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ But eventually... the camera battery wins. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ„๏ธ SUPER FROSTY. SUPER DENSE. SUPER BEAUTIFUL. If I had to summarize the visual impression of this week in three words: Frosty. Dense. Beautiful. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ That's it. The flowers are looking fantastic. The trichome coverage is impressive. The density is becoming increasingly obvious. And the macro photographs really bring everything together. This is one of those weeks where I don't need to over-explain what I'm seeing. The photographs are doing most of the talking. And I love that. Because sometimes... you don't need a thousand words. You just need to look closer. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’œ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ˜‚ THE PHOTOGRAPHER HAS A PROBLEM And that problem is... I keep wanting to photograph everything. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ You get one beautiful macro. Then you think: "Okay, that's enough." Then you move the camera slightly. "OH... wait." Another photograph. Then another. Then another. And suddenly you've spent far too much time staring at one flower. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But honestly? I don't mind. Because this is one of the parts of the grow I genuinely enjoy. The plants give us the subject. The camera lets us explore it. And the macro world gives us something completely different to appreciate. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ LET HER FLOWERS SPEAK At this stage, I don't need to tell Purple CousKush what to do. She's already doing it. The flowers are developing. The density is there. The frost is there. The resin is there. The structure is there. And now we're simply watching the final stages unfold. That's the beautiful thing about reaching this part of the journey. You start to see the result of everything that came before. All the earlier decisions. All the earlier growth. All the earlier work. Now... we get to appreciate it. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒฟ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ” WHAT AM I WATCHING NOW? At this point, I'm watching the details. โ„๏ธ Trichome development. ๐ŸŒธ Flower development. โš–๏ธ Density and structure. ๐Ÿ’œ Overall expression. ๐Ÿ“ธ And, of course, whatever the macro lens decides to reveal next. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm not trying to predict the ending. I'm not trying to force a timeline. I'm simply watching. And enjoying. Because this girl is giving me plenty to enjoy. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ GIVE HER THE SPOTLIGHT Purple CousKush Pheno A deserves her spotlight this week. Not because something dramatic happened. Not because we changed everything. Not because she suddenly became a completely different plant. But because... when we looked closer... WOW. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ Sometimes the magic isn't visible from across the room. Sometimes you have to walk closer. And then closer again. And then put a macro lens in front of it. And that's where the magic is. So yes... this week belongs to Purple CousKush. Let's give her the spotlight. Let's get close. Let's appreciate the frost. Let's appreciate the density. Let's appreciate the trichomes. And let's enjoy the macro world. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ญ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€” SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK CLOSER Week 13. Purple CousKush Auto. Pheno A. And this week... I'm not going to overcomplicate it. She's shining. ๐Ÿ’œโœจ She's beautiful from a distance. She's even more beautiful up close. And when we enter the macro world? Absolutely ridiculous. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฌโ„๏ธ The flower density. The resin. The trichomes. The detail. Everything is coming together beautifully. And yes... I may have mixed up a few of the stacking photographs between her and her sister. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But honestly? Looking at both girls closely has only made me more impressed. So we'll divide the evidence. Some beautiful macro shots for this girl. And her sister will get her own spotlight in the next report. Because both deserve it. For now... I'm simply enjoying this girl. I'm enjoying the flowers. I'm enjoying the photography. I'm enjoying the macro world. And I'm enjoying the fact that after all these weeks, Purple CousKush can still make me stop and say: "Wow." ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธโ„๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฌ That's what I want from this adventure. Not perfection. Not predictability. Discovery. And this girl is giving us plenty of that. So... let her shine. Let her keep developing. Let her keep showing us what she wants to become. And let's keep getting closer. Because apparently... the closer we look... the better it gets. ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฌโœจ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU Another week. Another chapter. And another reminder of why I love documenting this 8ร—8 Adventure. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys and share them with growers around the world. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple CousKush genetics and for giving us this beautiful girl to explore. ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒธ Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. ๐ŸŒฑ A huge thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and especially for supplying the additional fixtures that have expanded the lighting capability of the room. ๐Ÿ’กโ˜€๏ธ Thank you to LumiFlora for helping illuminate the deeper areas of the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment stable behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following the 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person who takes the time to stop by and see what these girls are doing. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And Purple CousKush Pheno A? This week... you made me get closer. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ”ฌ From the room... to the plant... to the flower... to the macro world... and suddenly: WOW. โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ Super frosty. Super dense. Absolutely beautiful. And packed with those little details that make photography so damn enjoyable. So let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep getting closer. And let's let the plant write the rest of the story. The big work is behind us. The flowers are doing the talking now. And the camera? Well... the camera is having the time of its life. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ’œ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the plants keep evolving, the flowers keep getting denser, the trichomes keep sparkling, the macro lens keeps getting closer, and Purple CousKush keeps reminding us that sometimes... the real magic starts when you stop looking from across the room. ๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ’œโ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ Let her shine.

Hello Bros&Sis! Ciao!๐Ÿ˜Š this time I've decided to made a video update, from the start of the week to the finish, we're gonna see some BIG differences! (The longest is from the end) About the ladies: Girls in coco Royal AK- she's drinking every single drop op solution and has literally exploded! I'm really happy about her training (top/lst/hst). A very strong strain. OG Kush- I don't get this girl, she's definitely not an heavy drinker. Speedy Chile FF- when I re-potted her into 6lt pot, some of my Bros hoped for a Baobab, what do you think?๐Ÿ˜‚ (has some mutations, has a growth of 3 leaves and then 2 branches have joined together and the other has grown normally) Ladies in Soil: UK Cheese auto- I've broke a branch due to heavy crop. Lesson learned. Pink Doc CBD auto- she's growing good, finally! The only thing I'm worried about is that she will not grow so much, because switch is near. Candy Kush Express- A really nice lady, not too tall, good side branches and she take everything with no care less (one of the most "broken" in the tent) Special Kush#1- She likes her new pot, but there's something wrong (see leaves) maybe related to VPD or RU? I've used different techniques on this ladies, but the one I like the most is cropping the branches and the main stems and also broke the branches where meets the stems, to give'em more power, and more "space" for nutrients transports in sight of bloom! That's all mate, we will see soon for the next update! Ciao!๐Ÿ˜™ (hey @Growdiaries if you want to use my video, feel free to do it, but please, don't change the music, it's already on YT and for CC use)

5/24 Woke up on payday to find that my father is in the hospital. My house was robbed a few days before so I guess the hits keep coming. The plants are doing good though. I'm glad I kept them in as we had a frost last night. I moved my cage yesterday onto the asphalt and put the big pallet in. I just need to sanitize the others before they go in the cage. I'm being super cautious. I think tomorrow will be the day I make the switch to the garage while they fill out these 3's.OK. 5/25 Plants were all moved to the garage with the door open for indirect light. It's 54 degrees. At night I'll pull them back in and give them a few more hours under the hps which will also help with heat. Knocked a stem sideways but it'll pop back. Feels good to get things moving. HST seems to being going good. UPDATE: Went back over at one and noticed that the plant I hit with a wire (or something I didn't see what happened) was almost sideways and really loose. I had tied it to a clip with flagging. That didn't work. I asked a friend and I ended up pinching off the first true leaves then mounded happy drug up around it to keep it upright. It LOOKS much happier. Of course that shit happens to your biggest healthiest plants. Oh well all the 10th planet are doing phenomenal. Can't wait to move these girls to there final homes. Plants went under lights at seven. I'm acclimenting them to the right light schedule. I don't want to jump from 18/6 to 15 hours. They did really good in the cold Temps and wind. The big one I had to fix looks like it's doing great. Once they are hardened and fill these pots they go in their final home. 5/26 Plants did great being in direct sunlight for a few hours and staying in the garage at night. They look super healthy. I'm planning on watering tomorrow. Wondering if I should start to add some silica to strengthen the stalks. Also wondering if I should add more soil to some of the pots like I did to the other one as the stretched a little. This is something I may do tomorrow before I water. Went back over to switch the lights on and pull the plants back and lock up at 7:30. Forgot my phone of course and these girls were looking amazing. I have to water tomorrow. I coukd add more soul to some of the pots but I'm reluctant due to stem rot. They'll get buried much deeper in there final homes. Don't want to mount up soil and then water and promote rot. Anyway plants are adapting amazing. Dialing the light closer to normal here. This is a great transition place for them to he. I've noticed a few wrinkled leaves but thats to be expected. Oh, I got my free pure Michigan seeds from premium cultivars!!! 5/27 WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY WITH HALF A Powerade BOTTLE APPROX. 16OZ. Plants are in direct light in the mornings and I haven't seem any burning yet. I noticed a small spot on one of the first true leaves but I think it's just a bite from an insect. Everything is green as hell. I'm wondering if I should add fresh soil to the pots but I didn't want to do it on a watering day. Plus the plants will be going in there final homes shortly. Very happy with progress this far. UPDATE Went over at 1230 and everything looked great. I sanitized the cage AND the pallets. Also bought 3 more 30 gallon grow bags. Once they go in there they will explode! I can't wait. I'm considering ordering netting for moths. Depending on price i might get some. If not I'll keep using the BT. UPDATE: Went and checked around 430. Temps were in the 70's and they had a few hours of direct sun. No burns evident as of yet. Pallets fit in the cage like puzzle pieces. Now I need to sanitize my grade stakes bamboo and trellis and setthat stuff up. I'm going to screw the grade stakes to the pallets and attach garden rods and bamboo with zip ties and I'll have a horizontal trellis. Once branches are a little bigger I'll begin LST. The plants that I topped AND the ones I FIMed are doing great. The FIMed ones with at least three colas some have four. Hoping the plants took that time growing roots. 5/28 Plants are all standing up tall. They loved that water. Haven't noticed any burns and they get direct sunlight in the mornings. Soon I can put them in the cage and start setting up my trellis and supports. Fan leaves on soms are bigger than my hands. These girls are probably the healthiest plants I've grown. I usually do clones and end up starting with problems. This is great starting with seeds and have no problems. UPDATE: Went back around two because Temps had reached 92f and rh was only 20%. Nights cool off greatly so it's a dramatic temperature shift. Plants looked great. All standing up looking great. Put plants in at 7:30 ,and continue the light until 9 and have it turn on at 4am. Then they are out by sunrise. Did notice some burning on one of my plants a large fan leaf. What can I say? It was extremely hot. I'm surprised they did as well as they did. 5/29 Everything standing up perfectly looking great. Plantscget an extra hour of sun at night and morning and are on 19/7 with the extra added light. Trying to acclimate and finish hardening off this week. I'd love to be able to at least put them in full sunlight for the day. I think they'd be fine. I'm really impressed with how they are growing. Second guessing not HST all of them. However I think I might light dep a couple. We'll see. I've still got work to do. UPDATE: put the plants in around 7. One of my lights shit the bed. They are just 150 watt hps but I was using them to finish hardening off my plants and slowly adjust them to the natural light. The on/off switch fell off. I'm sure my cousin can fix it bit the one is pe9bably fine as I'm only going fir a few more days. The thing about having this many plants to choose from is that I can pheno hunt and put the VERY best into the final containers and if I decide too I could light dep. 5/30 WATERED EVERYTHING TODAY WITH HALF A POWERADE BOTTLE. My cousin can probably fix the other light but I don't think it will matter. Within a week I'm going to have these girls in their final homes. I just need to sanitize the trellis and posts and then screw them to the pallets. I'll have this all taken care of before the plants go in the hole. I did notice another burn on a leaf. Def glad I'm taking the time to do this right. UPDATE: I put the girls in the barn around 7:30 and flicked the one 150 watt HPS light I have working on. I added a half hour more of darkness to try to acclimate them quicker. Light stays on until 9 qnd came back on at four but i changed it to 4:30. I'm usually there by 5. I'm looking through my surveillance cameras and it doesn't even look like the light is on. Of course its super bright out but I should be able to see from that image. Luckily the building the go in has massive windows up top to let light in and windows on every side so the light is probably unnecessary. However due to my bullshit luck last year I'm being as cautious as I can. Tomorrow is supposed to be extremely hot again as is the next day. I think I'll leave the door down a little, open the other and move the plants back so they have no direct sunlight and adding a fan. That way they can continue to recover. They seem bigger everything I see them. 5/31 Another hot day. I figure a few more days (under a week) and I can transplant these girls! Supposed to be 85 today and 90 tomm. It was 45 when I got here. These girls are doing well handling this bipolar weather. UPDATE: IM AN IDIOT AND THIS IS AN 8 DAY WEEK lol. Maybe I'll do a six day week next time to get back on track. Went back over at two and noticed some burns. Sent a video to a friend andcwith the sun we've had and the weather in the 90's he agreed the damage was minimal. However there was someone there working who opened more doors which let a lot more light in. It's supposed to be in the 90s tomorrow too. I may leave the doors shut. There are windows on everyside and an enormous cone at the top so the get plenty of sun. He also grows and I've been careful to not let anyone that grows go around my plants. I'm going to have to talk with family about this. To be honest I'm kinda pissed. Next watering I may add some kelp me kelp you and start a small nute regimen. UPDATE Went back over at seven after having a panic attack. Half stoned half asleep. Stupidly I was looking at a plant and thought "shit" the FIM must not have took but in reality I was just stoned and tired so I topped a plant that had already been fimmed so we'll see how that goes. Purple punch is so far behind everything else it's not even funny. There might be one that's doing pretty well and that of course is the one with no HST. Branches on the other strains are thick and ready for LST though. What I think I'll do is transplant the 10th planets and the blueberry cheese ones that are ready and hold off on the rest for a while. Hopfully I'll be able to show plants in final homes next week.

Nov 16th: Day 52. SPIDER MITES! Chopped a leaf that was inside the plant getting no light and little airflow. Noticed a couple little dots on the leaf so checked the back with my loupe and seen spider mites and eggs... RECOVERY ATTEMPT: Lowering room temperature and increasing humidity slightly to around 45%. For the last few days it's been at 40% all the time due to the 0 degree weather outside! Spraying and wiping down affected leaves with this organic spray: https://mygoodgreen.com/collections/all-products/products/ferminator-organic-plant-wash Also sprayed Neem Oil on some leaves Nov 19th: Day 55. Keeping track of how many mites I find on each plant everyday to make sure they're going away.
