➡️ Day+35, this week, the plants will receive their first dose of PK Booster compost tea around next Tuesday or Wednesday, when the temperatures drop a bit. Otherwise, the water might be too hot before then with the current heatwave, since the tea needs to steep for 24 to 36 hours. On day+31, I made a mistake. I wanted to pinch the apex of the tallest Dosidos auto in the back left corner because it was growing much taller than the other plants and starting to get stressed from the light. But when I tried to bend it afterward (supercropping), I broke the apex. So I ended up topped it, but the plant recovered very well. Even though the yield might be slightly affected, the secondary branches immediately grew more vigorously (I applied a Boom Boom spray the day I topped it). Since then, it's been developing a triple main bud. At Day+32, I placed the Swirski Ulti mite and Ulti mite spical sachets under the canopy, and yesterday I also introduced about 10-15 Orius laevigatus predators which will take care of the adult thrips if there are any left, in combination with the sachets under the canopy which release predators which take care of the larvae. I noticed a few small spots on one of the Purple Punch Auto leaves a few days ago, but nothing too serious, and since then there haven't been any more bites on any of the leaves, so everything is under control for the moment. However, I'm staying vigilant with the heatwave, especially this weekend given the outside temperature (I've released the rest of the 500 Orius laevigatus box into the garden outside, so I'm waging war on thrips on all fronts, as well as any potential spider mites). Luckily, I'm managing to keep the temperature under control (between 25 and 26°C in the grow box with air conditioning on at certain times of the day). (The Purple Punch Auto is now in the bottom right of the photo; I swapped it with the small Dosidos Auto because it was too close to the larger Dosidos) In one of the photos, there's a height-adjustable camping stool I found at Aldi for €5 (I bought two), exactly what I needed to have a canopy at roughly the same height. Currently at 580-650 PPFD/40-45 DLI ➡️ Day+37, the plants finally received their first PK booster compost tea today after 28 hours of brewing. I was able to maintain the tea temperature between 23 and 23.5°C, so it worked well. 700ml per plant, with 5ml/L of Orgatrex, and 30 minutes before the end of the brewing cycle, I added a small spoon of Bactrex and Mycotrex to the tea. The Purple Punch Auto is less advanced in its flowering compared to the three Dosidos Auto. Towards the end of flowering, I'll see if I can postpone harvesting the Dosidos by a week or ten days to give the Purple Punch time to mature sufficiently. If the difference in maturity is too significant, then I might have to finish the Purple Punch outside, as the tent is the only place I can dry at the right temperature and humidity. Currently at 600-650 PPFD

As of day 14, the Blackberry Kush is still exhibiting it's abnormal leaf growth. I've only ever seen this on another genetically purple strain, so I am curious if there is a connection. If anyone has seen similar issues in their own plants let me know! It's growth hasn't been too bad, and I am sure it's going to continue to take off over the next week! I usually top my plants between day 14 and 21, so i am hoping it is growing vigorously enough to prevent any stunting. I haven't seen any adverse effects from temporarily switching to my plentiful dry cal-mag, so I am happy about that so far! I am still adding a similar EC worth of Cal mag (.5) so it's good to have dialed in a rough equivalent. I hope everyone is staying safe, and happy growing! 👍🌱 Day 15: the leaf growth continues to be very screwy, and even if it's at least partially a genetic issue I continue to triple check all my practices and parameters. The PH drifts up mildly in my reservoirs between cleaning/remixing of nutrients, but it is going from roughly a 5.8 up to a 6.2 (at worst) with no change in the EC/PPM. Between the lack of EC drift and lack of smell, I don't think there are any major bacterial issues. The outflow PH is also acceptable (5.8) and the outflow EC is around .2-.3 above inflow, which is also acceptable. I dug into the coco a little bit, and the medium is not oversaturated with water (it is always a bit "fluffy" with good drainage and never compacted) and the roots are white and healthy. With the healthy vigorous growth of the other Blackberry in the same conditions, it brings me back to this being at least partially a genetic issue. I looked through grow questions of other diaries for similar leaf issues, and it seemed that most were either blueberry or blackberry strains from a range of breeders. This could be purely a coincidence, but it does make me wonder. The grows with similar issues seemed to otherwise have no commonalities in how they were grown. I am going to keep trying my best with this plant regardless, so I hope it pulls through alright! Day 17: being very careful with my PH and keeping it a bit lower, to rule it out as a possible cause of the twisted leaves and less vigorous growth. I am keeping it between 5.5 and 6 for the time being to make sure there is no lock out of micro elements like boron. As per the comments, I am being more accurate be using a pH pen as opposed to drops which I may have misjudges. I topped the plant, which is definitely a risk! But I am hoping for some healthier leaves to come in, and the plant hasn't stunted so far! It has grown the number of nodes it should have for its age, it just not as filled in and lush as I would like it to be. Day 19: I have been monitoring PH especially carefully, taking a few measurements per day and keeping it between 5.6 and 5.8 (a little on the low side). The runoff is consistently under 6 as well. EC and other conditions have stayed where they should be as well. I reduced any PH drift by running the air pump for the res 24/7, instead of just for mixing and before fertigations to rule that out. But I haven't seen any overall improvements for the leaves so I am reverting back to my theory of a genetic issue with this particular plant. It's growing larger and it's stems are thickening, so I'm just going to keep it growing as well as I possibly can and see what it yields!

During the second week of flowering for Purple Kush, here’s what you can expect and steps to ensure a successful grow: Plant Development 1. Bud Formation: Small pre-flower buds (calyxes) will begin forming along the nodes. Pistils (white hairs) may be visible. 2. Stretch Phase: The plant will still be stretching, potentially doubling in height as it transitions into full flowering mode. Care Tips 1. Lighting: Ensure a consistent 12/12 light cycle. Use strong flowering lights (HPS, LED) with red spectrum dominance. 2. Nutrients: Transition to flowering nutrients with a higher phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) ratio. Avoid overfeeding nitrogen to prevent leafy growth. Example: 1-3-2 NPK ratio is common in flowering. 3. Watering: Keep watering consistent but avoid overwatering. Allow slight drying of the topsoil between watering. 4. Temperature & Humidity: Ideal temperature: 65–80°F (18–26°C). Humidity: Reduce to 40–50% to prevent mold/mildew as buds develop. Training If you’re doing any low-stress training (LST), finish this early to avoid stressing the plant during full bloom. Remove any dying or large fan leaves blocking bud sites to improve light penetration. Monitoring Watch for pests like spider mites and early signs of mold or nutrient deficiencies. Look for healthy, vibrant leaves and steady growth in bud sites. By week 2, your Purple Kush should show noticeable progression in flower development, setting you up for a good yield in the weeks to come.

Straightforward with nothing to report out of the ordinary. I top watered on day 56 then let them dry back prior to harvest (day 61). Nice mix of milky and amber trichomes. Harvested early morning prior to lights on.

10/31: I fed today with one, signal, sweet & sticky, beastie bloomz, and silica. Another batch of top-shelf genetics from Spliff Seeds. They are super frosty, fattening nicely, and smell delicious. One of the MWK's has a lot of purples in her lower flowers...sexy.👍 11/4: Fed with one, signal, sweet & sticky, beastie bloomz, silica, and humic acid. Really in love with the big Moonwalker Kush...such a pretty plant....and her sister ain't too shabby either. Neither Strawberry put on much height, but every branch on them will produce some fatass buds with absolutely zero training...excellent candidate for a single-strain SOG. Amnesiacs protest with too much PAR or UVB...same with the LCK..their foliage is suffering a bit...

This week I assembled the new 48x48x80 Mars Hydro tent and installed the new FOHSE Aries 600W LED light. I set the dim to 75%, but after two days, it was clearly too much, especially for 20 hours per day. I will dim it way down and shorten the hours until the plants appear to be doing better.

They're behind the Jack Herer but at least the ladies showed up to the party at least! I have named them Shasta and Sky. They both have made the journey towards the light. I am maintainin a 21-23 C with around 67-75% RH, and with all 3 beans now popped, I am very excited about this grow day 5 of germination. Temp: 21.5c RH 75%. The sunset sherbert autos x2 (total 3) are also freshly emerged, and for now the SF-1000401h Evo 100W will be powering the babiesd, swapped out for the Mars Hydro FC-E1500 150W (+complete adlite set). later on this afternoon. Spider Farmer's 6L humidifier with sensor is doing a great job, and so is the dehumidifier , both are operating fine in the 70x70x1,60 tent. Air flow at 25% on a 4" inline fan with 204CFM. Light at 30% at 18 inches. No Adlites in operation. Let's quickly review the key new components I've planned to integrate or have already: Circulation Pump - Adding this to the 14L Mars Hydro reservoir will ensure even fresh, circulated-for-a-miniute-every-hour, batch of water (and later nutes) to the auto-drip system, maintaining optimal feeding for my plants when I am away, next week. Biobizz & BioTabs Supplements - These organic nutrient and microbial products will provide a comprehensive and balanced feeding regimen for my plants. Auto-Drain Potted Plant Stands - The wheeled, auto-draining stands will simplify watering and prevent any spills or overflows. Inkbird Humidity Controller - Pairing this with the Spider Farmer humidifier and dehumidifier will allow me to precisely maintain the ideal VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) levels. LST Clips, Trellis Net & Shelves - These will help me maximize my grow space and optimize the plant canopy for optimal light exposure. Pest Control Strips - An important preventative measure to stay ahead of any potential pest issues. Smart Soil Sensors - The Zigbee-enabled sensors will provide vital data on soil moisture, temperature, and more, which I can monitor remotely. Air Purifier/Ion Generator - Ensuring my grow environment has clean, high-quality air circulation. With all of these elements in place, combined with my existing setup and the automated control via the iGrow app, I'm truly creating a "hands-off" grow operation. (theoretically, with a bro, coming to phiscally check too)....The ability to monitor and adjust key parameters remotely while I'm away in Italy. Running on Sunrise/set mode(18/6) over the "seedling" scene, in iGrow app, keeping track of DLI and later on, the Adlites will come into play. Temp at 23.5 and RH is at 60%

💜 Week 5 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno B) Same Genetics, A Different Story One of the greatest reminders that nature always has the final word is watching multiple phenotypes grow side by side. This Purple CousKush has shared every step of the journey with her sister. The same germination conditions. The same Plagron feeding schedule. The same Future of Grow lighting. The same Mammoth tent. The same 12/12 flowering schedule from seed. Yet she has decided to tell an entirely different story. While some plants rush into flower and others focus on stretch, this beautiful lady has invested her energy into building a compact, incredibly healthy structure before fully committing herself to bloom. She’s taking her time. And I’m perfectly happy to let her. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development At 66 cm tall, this phenotype has developed into a wonderfully balanced and compact plant with exceptional vigour. The first thing that catches my attention every time I walk into the tent is just how lush she looks. Her foliage is thick, rich green and incredibly healthy, giving her a full appearance despite her more restrained vertical growth. Flowering is now clearly underway. Fresh pistils are appearing at every growing tip and along the internodes, confirming that she’s fully transitioning into bloom. She simply isn’t in any hurry, and that’s perfectly fine. The spacing between nodes remains excellent, allowing light to penetrate deep into the canopy while creating dozens of promising future flowering sites. She’s building the foundations first. The flowers will follow. ⸻ 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions Like the rest of the Project Blue Tent, environmental conditions remained very stable throughout the week. * 12/12 lighting schedule from seed * Future of Grow Black Series LED providing approximately 850 PPFD * Mammoth Pro grow tent * Day temperatures around 31°C * Relative humidity averaging 72% * CO₂ levels around 639 ppm Despite the warmer summer temperatures, this phenotype has remained calm and vigorous throughout the week. Leaf posture has been excellent, colour remains beautifully uniform, and the plant continues to show absolutely no signs of stress. Healthy roots create healthy plants, and this girl certainly looks like she’s enjoying life. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program This Purple CousKush continues to be hand-watered rather than connected to the AutoPot system. Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container, she received approximately 1 litre of nutrient solution per watering. This week’s feeding consisted of: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L The feeding schedule continues to match her needs perfectly. The deep green foliage, steady growth and healthy new shoots all suggest she’s receiving exactly what she requires while gradually shifting her focus from vegetative growth into flowering. Sometimes consistency really is the best strategy. ⸻ 🌸 Phenotype Notes Comparing this plant with her sister perfectly illustrates why I enjoy documenting individual phenotypes instead of treating every plant as if they were identical. They come from the same seed pack. They’ve received the same care. They’ve experienced the same environment. Yet they’re expressing themselves in wonderfully different ways. This phenotype is slightly slower entering flower, but she compensates with an incredibly sturdy frame, beautiful branching and dense, vibrant foliage that gives her a very robust appearance. She’s not behind. She’s simply following her own genetic rhythm. That’s one of the reasons I love growing from seed—every plant has its own personality waiting to be discovered. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect flowering to become much more obvious as the pistils continue multiplying across every branch and the first real bud sites begin to establish themselves. With her compact structure, balanced branching and excellent health, I’m excited to see how she fills out during the coming weeks. Sometimes the slower starters end up becoming the biggest surprises at harvest. We’ll simply keep providing a stable environment, consistent nutrition and plenty of patience while she writes the next chapter herself. ⸻ 💭 Final Thoughts Every phenotype teaches something different. This Purple CousKush reminds me that speed has never been the goal. Health, balance and consistency will always matter far more than racing toward the finish line. Watching her develop has been incredibly enjoyable because she’s never tried to imitate the other plants in the room. She’s simply growing exactly the way her genetics tell her to. As growers, sometimes our best decision is simply to observe, trust the process and resist the temptation to interfere. Nature has been doing this for millions of years. She knows what she’s doing. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey and sharing it with me week after week. Your support, encouragement, advice and conversations are a huge part of what makes GrowDiaries such an incredible community. A very special thank you to the amazing companies helping bring this project to life: 💜 Zamnesia for the fantastic genetics. 💜 Plagron for the trusted nutrition. 💜 Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting. 💜 TrolMaster for helping keep every environmental parameter under control. And finally, thank you to every member of the GrowDiaries family. Whether you’re here to learn, share your own experience or simply enjoy watching these plants develop, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment and every conversation. Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱💚
