So, eventful week. Prior to putting my seeds into my system, my light and rdwc system was left on as I was dialling in the growing environment before placing the seeds as a final home. My only issue was I had a light leak BEFORE putting the foil top covers on the clay pebbles. Long story short, I got algae which ended up turning to root rot. I spotted it very swiftly and did a res change adding beneficial bacteria to the system along with the base products of remo nutrients. A few days later new growth and recovery is taking place. Day 16- Fully back on track, new roots shooting out into the water and the growth rate has picked up as it should. Foliar feeding twice a day for a little boost until the root system establishes a bit more. Huge changes in just a day. Can't wait to see what a week's growth looks like. Really loving the sunset/sunrise feature on the trolmaster, something I got to experience watching recently! Watching by closely to make sure everything stays in track. Stay tuned for the next one 😉

Here is a quick vid and a few pics from last night. I am away from the ladies- but they look and smell great. The Jack and Blueberry greened back up with a little additions nitrogen. Jack is smelly as hell! Can't wait.

Welcome to the 2018/19 indoor grow season!!! I am totally psyched to be growing Blackberry from FastBuds as one of the first strains this season. I was fortunate enough to have won 7th place for my Tangie'matic diary and won seeds from FastBuds. When searching the FastBuds website for a strain to choose I was looking for something purple and fruity. I think I found the answer here in BlackBerry. One of the seeds was started a couple of days ahead of the other. The first seedling is looking pretty good, the second not as much, but I'm confident it will grow out of its funk. I am seeing some signs of burn, I guess the soil must be too hot. I started to try to flush through with straight ph'ed water, but then I started seeing signs of overwatering (rookie mistake, I know). Now I'm just trying to keep a little water on the bottom tray so it generates some humidity in the dome. There's also a heat mat under the tray I have the heat mat on a timer also, 30 min on/30 min off cycling all day. It seemed to get too hot on 24/7. I'll be transplanting and moving to my 2'x4' tent in about a week. They will live there during veg, then I'll be moving to a 4'x8' tent (not purchased yet) for flower. I'm also planning on adding some COB LED's in the flower tent. Then I'll dedicate my 2x4 tent to mothers, clones and seedlings. Its going to be a little different this season with both photo period and autoflowering strains going at the same time. But I'm looking forward to it! 👍 Stay tuned...

Transfer to 3-gallon pot

The two beautiful Critical Kush plants came from another diary. They sprouted fast and came up strong. I was amazed. Because after soaking for 24 hrs I don't think they even cracked the shell. I do not know the breeder. Got these through a trade with Tonio, who I'm sorry to say had to stop growing. They were only labeled Critical Kush. With gold lettering on the sticker. No other marks. ?????

Added first time molasses during feeding will be doing it for last 3 weeks before flush. For couple plants with redish leaves stems gave epsom salt. Thinking to give it to all of them. To me they look too skinny, but its aftermath of strech i quess ... Would love to have one more hlg 240 ...

✌️🎃 Thank you for checking my cultivation. 😃 She’s more happy, me too. 🌿 Starting LST in #1

We are a couple who decided to plant cannabis for the first time during the covid-19 quarantine, and it helped us get through it, during and after grow =] Before deciding to plant, we studied a lot and saw many diaries here, so we didn't have many surprises during the cycle, also because we were able to see, compare and know what to expect from our plant. It was really cool to see the result of what we had studied happening in practice, we learned a lot from Grow Diaries. Definitely we will do a lot of different things next time, but overall we were satisfied to be able to smoke our own weed. Grow diaries helped and motivated us a lot, both to learn new things and to organize and register our grow. Our intention is to continue growing and sharing our experience here. Weed love you to leave comments and tips in our diary, it helps us to learn and improve more and more. Thanks and see you all next grow! 👽😜👌

2/25/25 these plants are exploding with growth. all dark green and super happy. will be giving them another week and then switch them to 12/12 2/27/25 these plants are absolutely exploding with growth right 2/28/25 defoliating and tucking leaves. theyre all so lush and bushy. these genetics are surprising me after this transplant. theyre absolutely loving life right 3/2/25 these plants are growing visibly each day. i switched them to 12/12 today even though theyre only in the veg tent. after a couple more weeks, ill move them into the flower tent. so 2-3 weeks under a small 150 watt light, and then move them under a 300 watt light to finish

Only water and no water for the last 5-6 days. Also no light in the last 24 hours.

Ok

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 11 🌸 Dense, Frosty & Getting Seriously Impressive — One Beautiful Way to Close the 8×8 Adventure This Week And to finish all the reports for this week in the 8×8 tent... we close with a beautiful plant. 💜🌿✨ Purple CousKush Pheno B. And honestly? What better way to finish the week's reports than with a plant like this? The photograph pretty much says everything. Look at that flower. Look at the density. Look at the structure. Look at the frost. Look at those massive little clusters packed together. ❄️💜 This girl is becoming seriously impressive. She's still moving. She's still developing. And unlike her sister, who is already starting to show some signs that she may be thinking about the final chapter... this one? She's looking at me like: "Relax. I've got a few more chapters to write." 😂💜 And I believe her. Because looking at these flowers, I think she still has some time ahead of her. A few weeks? We'll see. I'm not going to predict it. The plant will tell us. But right now? She's beautiful. She's dense. She's compact. She's frosty. And she's absolutely worth ending this week's 8×8 reports with. So... let's give her the spotlight. 🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — And What a Way to Finish This Week For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. Twelve different plants. Different genetics. Different phenotypes. One shared room. One general environmental strategy. One 12/12 lighting schedule. One irrigation philosophy. One nutritional program. One lighting ecosystem. One grower. And twelve completely different stories. That's what this experiment has been about from the beginning. The environment gives every plant the opportunity. The genetics decide what each plant does with it. And Purple CousKush Pheno B has given us a very interesting expression. She's not a giant. She's not a dwarf. She's not trying to take over the tent. She's simply occupying her space beautifully... and filling that space with some seriously impressive flowers. 💜🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Look at That Flower! I have to start here. Because... damn. 😂💜 Just look at the photograph. That is one of her flowers. And this is exactly why I love documenting these plants individually. You can talk about flowering structure all day. You can describe density. You can talk about resin. You can talk about compact buds. But sometimes one photograph says more than a thousand words. And this one says: "Yeah... she's getting there." 😂❄️💜 The flower is dense. The individual clusters are stacking together beautifully. The structure is becoming substantial. And there is an impressive amount of resin covering the surrounding surfaces. This isn't just a little flowering site anymore. This is becoming a proper, chunky flower. And I absolutely love watching it happen. ──────────────────────── ❄️ The Frost Is Getting Serious And then... there's the frost. Wow. ❄️❄️❄️ This girl is seriously frosty. The sugar leaves are absolutely covered. The flower surfaces are sparkling. And when the light catches everything just right, the whole structure almost looks dusted in sugar. This is one of those plants where the macro lens can become a dangerous addiction. 😂📸 You start with one photograph. Then you look at it. Then you think: "Okay, let's get a little closer." Then closer again. And suddenly you're spending twenty minutes looking at trichomes. 😂💜❄️ That's what I love about this stage. The plant starts becoming a completely different world when you photograph it up close. And Purple CousKush Pheno B is giving us plenty to explore. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Dense. Compact. Massive. There are three words that keep coming back to me when I look at this girl right now: Dense. Compact. Massive. And yes... I know "compact" and "massive" sound like they're fighting each other. 😂 But that's exactly what I'm seeing. The plant itself isn't enormous. The individual flowering structures, however? They're getting big. They're getting dense. They're gaining serious visual weight. She's essentially packing a lot of flower into a relatively controlled framework. And that's one of the things I really like about this phenotype. She doesn't need to become a giant plant to produce impressive-looking flowers. She's doing it with what she has. And she's doing it beautifully. ──────────────────────── 💜 She's Still Moving The other important thing this week is that she's not looking finished. Not to me, anyway. She's still moving. Still developing. Still building. Still changing. And when I look at the flowers, I don't get the feeling that we've reached the end of the story yet. There is still development to come. The flowers can continue maturing. The density can continue increasing. The resin can continue developing. And the overall structure can continue becoming more complete. So while we're definitely getting deeper into the flowering journey... I'm not putting a finish date on this girl. She'll tell us. And right now she's saying: "Not yet." 😂💜 Fair enough. We'll listen. ──────────────────────── 🌸 She Has a Few More Chapters to Write This is one of those plants where I genuinely don't want to rush anything. Looking at her flowers, I can already see a lot of what I like. But I also see potential for more development. And that's exciting. Because the best part of these late flowering weeks isn't necessarily dramatic growth. It's watching the existing flowers transform. More maturity. More density. More resin. More character. The plant starts becoming increasingly refined. And that's where I think Purple CousKush Pheno B is heading. She's already beautiful. Now let's see what she becomes. ──────────────────────── 💡 Same Photons. Same Room. Her Own Expression. The lighting environment remains exactly where we've brought the room over the last few weeks. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main overhead lighting, with the additional fixtures now part of the upgraded lighting ecosystem. After adding the two extra Black Series 600W fixtures, we reduced the output to approximately 59% from the plug. We're working around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with the actual intensity naturally changing depending on plant height and position. And this girl is clearly making use of that opportunity. She's producing flowers. She's building density. She's producing serious resin. And she's continuing to develop. Same photons. Different plant. Different expression. That's the 8×8 Adventure in one sentence. 💜🌿✨ A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying those additional fixtures for us to test. It's been fascinating seeing how twelve different plants interpret the same upgraded lighting environment. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Same Feeding. Same Environment. Different Story. The nutrition remains consistent with the rest of the room. 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution strength: ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm And Purple CousKush Pheno B continues progressing beautifully. No special treatment. No secret recipe. No completely different program. Same room. Same general feeding strategy. Same irrigation philosophy. And once again... the plant decides what to do with it. And she's decided to build some seriously beautiful flowers. ──────────────────────── ✂️ No Need to Keep Touching Her We're well past the stage where I'm looking for excuses to grab the scissors. 😂✂️ The structure is already there. The canopy has already been managed. The flowers are established. And now? Let her work. At this stage, I'm much more interested in observing than constantly intervening. The plant is telling us what she's capable of. Why interrupt that? Healthy foliage is still doing its job. Flowers are developing. The structure is functional. The plant looks comfortable. So... hands off. Let her finish. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 Conditions The overall environment remains consistent with the current 8×8 setup: 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup 💡 Approx. power after adjustment: ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same upgrades. Same feeding. Different phenotype. And Purple CousKush Pheno B is still moving forward. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Another Beautiful Example of Phenotype Expression This is exactly what makes comparing these girls so interesting. Her sister, Purple CousKush Pheno A, is already starting to show signs of fading and possibly moving toward her final stage. This girl? Completely different story. She's still green. Still developing. Still pushing. Still looking like she has some time left. Same general genetics. Same room. Same grower. And yet... different rhythm. Different timing. Different expression. That's exactly what we wanted to see. The room provides the stage. The phenotype writes the performance. And Purple CousKush B is putting on a very nice show. 💜🌸✨ ──────────────────────── 📸 The Photograph That Says It All I think the photograph accompanying this update is probably my favourite way to describe where she is right now. One flower. One frame. And you can see so much. The compact structure. The dense flower formation. The frost. The developing maturity. The pistils. The layers of little flowering structures packed together. It makes me want to get even closer. 😂📸 And that's exactly what a good flower does. It makes you stop. It makes you look. And then it makes you want to look again. Purple CousKush Pheno B is definitely doing that for me right now. ──────────────────────── 💜 I'm Really Liking This One I have to admit it. I'm really liking this girl. 😂💜 There's something very satisfying about watching her develop. She's not demanding. She's not creating problems. She's not requiring constant intervention. She's just quietly becoming more impressive. And every week, I look at her and see another little improvement. A little more density. A little more maturity. A little more frost. A little more flower. Until suddenly... you look at one of her buds and realize: "Okay. This is getting serious." 😂💜❄️ That's exactly where I am with her now. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ No Drama. Just Development. One of the nicest things about this stage of the grow is that we don't need every week to contain some massive event. Sometimes a good week is simply: The plant grew. The flowers developed. The environment stayed stable. Nothing went wrong. The plant looks better than last week. Done. 😂 That's a successful week. And Purple CousKush Pheno B has given us exactly that. She's not asking for drama. She's not giving me drama. She's simply getting bigger flowers and more frost. I'll happily take that. ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead And now... we wait. Because I really want to see where this girl takes us. She still looks like she has a few weeks ahead of her. Exactly how many? I don't know. And I'm not going to guess. The plant will tell us. For now, I'm watching the flowers. Watching the density. Watching the resin. Watching the overall maturity. And waiting to see when she starts giving us those unmistakable signs that she's approaching the end. Until then... let her build. Let her mature. Let her shine. ──────────────────────── ✨ Final Thoughts — What a Beautiful Way to Close the Week And that's it. The final 8×8 report for this week. And honestly? I couldn't ask for a much prettier plant to close with. 💜🌸✨ Purple CousKush Pheno B is looking absolutely beautiful. Dense. Compact. Frosty. Developing. And still very much in motion. That flower in the photograph? That's just one example of what she's building throughout the plant. Massive little structures. Dense clusters. Beautiful formation. Serious frost. And plenty of character. She's not finished. Not even close enough for me to pretend I know exactly when she'll be. She still looks like she has a few weeks ahead of her. And that's okay. We're not racing. We're growing. We're observing. We're learning. And we're letting the plant decide. That's the beauty of this whole adventure. Sometimes you think you know where a plant is going... and then she gives you another week of surprises. Purple CousKush Pheno B is doing exactly that. And I'm enjoying every minute of it. 💜❄️🌸 So let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight. Let's celebrate those dense flowers. Let's appreciate that ridiculous frost. Let's enjoy the structure she's building. And let's see where she goes from here. Because if this is what she's showing us now... I'm very curious to see what the next few weeks bring. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. 💜🌸❄️✨ ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You And a huge thank you to everyone who has followed all of these 8×8 reports this week. Seriously. Thank you. We've gone through twelve different plants, twelve different personalities, twelve different expressions... and every single one has given us something different to talk about. That's what makes this project so special to me. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document the entire adventure. Thank you to Zamnesia for the genetics behind these beautiful girls. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the journey. Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and for supplying the additional fixtures we're now testing in the room. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding the under-canopy lighting dimension. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping maintain the environment behind the scenes. And thank you to everyone who reads these reports, comments, asks questions, shares observations and follows along week after week. It genuinely means a lot. And now... we close this week's 8×8 Adventure with Purple CousKush Pheno B. A beautiful plant. Beautiful flowers. Massive density. Serious frost. Still moving. Still developing. Still writing her story. 💜🌸❄️✨ And I'm very happy we get to keep watching. So... keep doing your thing, beautiful girl. You've absolutely earned your spotlight. Let's see what the next few weeks bring. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💜

Im thinking tonight’s will be the final water change given how things are looking. Probably harvesting in 7-10 days. Trichs are looking cloudy but no amber yet and still to many white pistils showing for harvest. The smell is pretty strong now. I installed a carbon filter and 6” inline fan to fix that since it was permeating the House. Within an hour the odor is completely gone. Bummer the cabinet doesn’t hide much but I understand why. The plant up front has markedly smaller buds and colas than the plant in the back still. I’m so ready to harvest and start planning my next grow. Thinking Pineapple Chunk?

No more yellow leaves spreading problem, it was the lack of nutrients for sure ! Thanks for those who helped me ! :) Something to consider for my next grow: I decided to grow 10 plants to get a chance to have a decent harvest as it is my first time but it takes too much space, I barely have room to move myself inside the box and the plants have less light. I also think it is the reason it's too hot inside the box, when the plants were small and the outside temperatures the same as today, it was was less hot. Next time, I'll grow like 5 or 6 but making them bushy as hell !!

Week 7 Flushed my plants

We've reached the end of the penultimate week. This girl's buds are also very dense, resinous, and fragrant. Based on the trichome analysis, she's at a great point. 😎 In the 15 days before harvest, I start watering only with RO water and a pH of 6.2. At the beginning of the last week, and about 3 days before harvest, I'll flush with RO + Cleanse 10mL.

Woche 5 So langsam könnte ruhig mal ein Zelt frei werden. Tag 35 Umzug

So i had to take all my plants inside because i found bud rot on 2 of them & the weather wasn’t going to get any better, had to transform my bedroom into a grow room😂 & i have 2 more plants which i am going to finish next to a window.. The smaller plant to the right is a Northern light by zamnesiaseeds that has a seperate diary if you are interested! I really hope the bud rot doesn’t spread anymore & if anyone has any tips or tricks for that they are always welcome!

This week I start my varieties for new mothers for 2022; coming straight from the Netherlands from Neerland seeds Bank
