Smooth week, amazing weather, humid mornings but 23c every day no rain, lots of sun. Snipped 1 tiny bud with botrytis, but so far it's been incredibly resilient. Hoping to stretch at least another 2-3 weeks weather permitting. Only did Kelp / Diablo Monster Maxx this week and drip irrigation, weekly spray of BT and we're nearly there. Plan on washing, hang drying maybe an LB, rest straight to freezer for hash run.

Moving these photos into an album for tester #1 by itself. Originally 3 blind testers were grown alongside other photoperiod plants. Lights were flipped to 12/12 on that grow at the 4 week point (10/12/22). Since that time, some other plants gave been culled and 2 of the blind testers turned out to be autos. This plant is still very small with very tight internodal spacing and it has not shown any preflowers. I have decided to restore the 18/6 lighting schedule to the grow room. This plant can continue to veg, to mature and grow larger. Iโ€™ll acquire a tent or figure something out to finish her later. For now she is vegging along. Iโ€™ve defoliated and manifolded her. Iโ€™ll document her journey here in weekly posts going forwards.

๐ŸŒฟ Frosted Guava Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 12 ๐Ÿฆ„ The Dark Little Unicorn Is Just Doing Her Thing โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ’š Welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š Well... Here we are again. And honestly? This is probably one of the most boring parts of growing. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Not because the plants are boring. Quite the opposite. They're beautiful. They're developing. They're stacking. They're getting heavier. They're doing exactly what we want them to do. But... there comes a point where the grower doesn't have a whole lot left to do. And Frosted Guava Pheno B? She's a perfect example. She's moving. She's growing. She's developing. Her sister is doing the same thing. And we're standing here watching both of them basically say: "Don't worry. We've got this." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ So what do we do? We do what we have to do. We provide what they ask for. We keep the room running. We keep an eye on everything. We make the necessary adjustments. And then... we watch the show. That's pretty much where we are now. And honestly? I'm perfectly happy with that. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ WEEK 12 โ€“ SHE KEEPS MOVING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Frosted Guava Pheno B continues to move beautifully. She's not sitting still. She's not waiting around. She's continuing to develop those beautiful flowering structures we've been watching build week after week. And what I really like is that her sister is doing the same thing. Both Frosted Guava girls are moving. Both are developing. Both are showing us their own expressions. But they're still not identical. And that's exactly what makes this so interesting. Same genetics. Same room. Same general environment. Same lighting. Same nutritional strategy. And yet... two individual plants. Two individual stories. Two different expressions. That's the beauty of having multiple phenotypes side by side. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„ 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 THE BORING PART OF GROWING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Let's be honest. ๐Ÿ˜‚ This part can be a little boring for the grower. You've already done the exciting structural work. You've trained. You've tucked. You've adjusted. You've shaped. You've moved things around. You've watched the stretch. You've watched the flowers appear. You've watched the plants build. And now... what? ๐Ÿ˜‚ You stand there. You look at them. You check them. You make sure everything is where it should be. And then you walk away. Because sometimes... the best thing you can do is nothing. Not literally nothing, of course. We still have responsibilities. We still provide what the plants need. We still monitor the room. We still make the necessary adjustments. But we're no longer trying to create the plant. She's already created herself. Now we're watching her finish the work. 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 THE PLANT HAS DONE THE WORK โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ That's probably the biggest change in the role of the grower at this stage. Earlier: "What should I do?" Now: "Does she need anything?" ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's a completely different question. The structure is established. The flowers are established. The plant knows where she's going. And our job becomes much more about observation than intervention. Frosted Guava Pheno B doesn't need me standing there trying to redesign her. She doesn't need me telling her where every flower should go. She doesn't need me constantly changing things. She's already doing it. She's growing. She's stacking. She's developing. She's becoming heavier. So... let her. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š 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 STILL THE DARK LITTLE UNICORN โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And yes... she's still our dark little unicorn. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ That deep green character is still one of the first things that catches my eye. It gives her flowers such a beautiful background. The darker foliage. The developing flowers. The bright pistils. The frost. The texture. Everything comes together beautifully. She's not necessarily the biggest girl in the room. She doesn't need to be. She's got her own personality. And I think that's becoming more obvious every week. She's Frosted Guava Pheno B. Not her sister. Not another plant. Not somebody else's description of the genetics. Her. And I really like her. 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 THE FLOWERS KEEP BUILDING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The flowers are still doing what flowers are supposed to do at this stage. They're building. They're developing. They're gaining presence. They're becoming more substantial. And that's really what we're watching now. Not whether she can flower. She clearly can. We're watching what those flowers become. The structures are becoming increasingly defined. The plant is becoming more substantial. And the whole thing is starting to feel more mature. It's a very satisfying transition. The plant isn't changing dramatically overnight. It's changing incrementally. Week by week. Day by day. And when you compare the photographs... you can see it. That's the beauty of documenting the journey. Sometimes the changes are too subtle to notice while you're standing there. But put two weeks side by side... and suddenly: "Oh..." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒธ There she is. 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 HER SISTER IS RIGHT THERE TOO โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And I really enjoy having her sister in the same room. Because now we're watching two Frosted Guava expressions develop simultaneously. Her sister is moving fast. Pheno B is moving fast. Both are doing their thing. But they're still giving us their own little interpretation of the same environment. That's exactly what I wanted from this project. Not identical plants. Not identical results. But a chance to see how individual expressions develop when the environmental variables are kept broadly consistent. And these two girls are giving us a beautiful little comparison. ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿฆ„ Same family. Different personalities. 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’š NO NEED TO FORCE ANYTHING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is where I'm becoming increasingly comfortable just letting the plants be plants. There is always a temptation as a grower to feel like: "I should be doing something." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because if you're not touching something... are you really growing? Yes. You are. Sometimes you're growing by leaving the plant alone. Sometimes you're growing by observing. Sometimes you're growing by recognizing that the work has already been done. And that's where we are with Pheno B. She's healthy. She's developing. She's moving. She's building. So I'm not going to invent work just to feel busy. ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'll give her what she needs. I'll keep watching. And I'll let her do the rest. 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. SAME ROOM.

The additional Future of Grow Black Series 600W fixtures remain part of the room's expanded lighting capability. And again... we're not trying to make every plant respond identically. That's impossible. The same photons enter the canopy. The genetics decide what happens next. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is clearly using those photons in her own way. She's building flowers. She's developing structure. She's continuing to mature. And she's doing it beautifully. That's the part of this experiment I never get tired of. Same artificial sun. Different stories. โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿฆ„ 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 MORE CAPABILITY, LESS INTERVENTION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The lighting upgrade gave us more capability. It didn't give us more reasons to interfere. ๐Ÿ˜‚ That's an important distinction. We have more lighting available. We control the output. We watch the plants. And then... we let them respond. Frosted Guava doesn't need me to stand there explaining photons to her. She's already catching them. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ She's doing exactly what plants do. Turning light into growth. And now we're simply watching where that growth takes her. 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 ROOM IS STARTING TO TRANSITION โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ The nutritional program is also beginning to move into its next phase with the rest of the room. We're starting to decrease the nutrition as part of the normal progression of the run. Nothing dramatic. Nothing strange. Just another transition. The plants have spent weeks building. Now we're entering the part where we're increasingly watching them mature. And again... I'm not trying to create a special situation for Frosted Guava Pheno B. She's moving with the room. Same overall strategy. Same general approach. And she's handling the transition beautifully. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’š โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ SAME ROOM.

Same general temperature and humidity strategy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same upgraded lighting environment. Same room. Same grower. Same ecosystem. And yet... look at the different stories coming out of it. That's the experiment. The environment gives the plants the stage. Genetics decide what kind of performance we get. And Frosted Guava Pheno B is giving us a very interesting one. 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˜‚ SOMETIMES THE HARDEST THING IS DOING LESS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ This is something I think every grower eventually learns. Sometimes you have to fight the urge to interfere. Because you see the plant. You see the flowers. You see the changes. And your brain immediately says: "Maybe I should..." ๐Ÿ˜‚ Maybe you should not. Maybe she's fine. Maybe she's doing exactly what she's supposed to be doing. Maybe your job is simply to observe. And that's what I'm doing with this girl. Watching. Learning. Enjoying. And doing what needs to be done when it actually needs to be done. That's 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”€ ๐ŸŒฟ SHE'S DOING HER THING โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ And honestly... that's the perfect description for this week. She's doing her thing. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ She's growing. She's stacking. She's developing. She's getting heavier. She's becoming more mature. And she's doing all of it without asking us to reinvent anything. She's not demanding a dramatic intervention. She's simply continuing the journey. And I love that. Because there's something very satisfying about watching a plant reach this stage where you can finally say: "Okay... I've done my part. Now show me what you can do." And she's showing us. 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 STILL THERE โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Of course... the frost continues to be one of her signatures. โ„๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„ The flowers continue to show that beautiful textured appearance. The closer you look... the more details you find. Pistils. Resin. Flower structure. Texture. Tiny little details that make each cola different. And that's why these photographs matter. Because the whole plant tells one story... but every flower has its own little chapter. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐ŸŒธ And Frosted Guava is giving us plenty of chapters to document. 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 ANOTHER WEEK OF WATCHING THROUGH THE LENS โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I love the fact that we're still taking these photographs even during what feels like the "boring" part. Because this is exactly when you can miss the changes. One week: "Looks good." The next: "Wait a minute..." ๐Ÿ˜‚ The plant has changed. The flowers have gained more volume. The structure has become more mature. The frost has become more noticeable. The colours have shifted slightly. Nothing dramatic. Everything meaningful. That's why the weekly diary exists. To catch the things we might otherwise overlook. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฆ„ THE UNICORN DOESN'T NEED A SCRIPT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ I've stopped trying to predict what this girl is going to do. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She has already shown us that she's perfectly capable of writing her own story. She's an autoflower. She's under 12/12. She's surrounded by photoperiods. Her sister is behaving in her own way. And somehow... everything works. That's what makes this project so much fun. You can make plans. You can create expectations. You can have theories. And then the plants look at you and say: "No." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„ And then they grow beautifully anyway. 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? โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ At this stage, I'm watching the details. ๐ŸŒธ Flower development. โ„๏ธ Resin development. ๐ŸŒฟ Overall plant health. โš–๏ธ Weight and structure. ๐ŸŽจ Colour changes. ๐Ÿฆ„ And, of course... what this little unicorn decides to do next. We're getting closer to the next major chapter. But we're not there yet. So I'm not rushing her. I'm not trying to force the timeline. I'm just watching. And enjoying the process. 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‘‘ LET HER HAVE HER SPOTLIGHT โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Some plants demand the spotlight. Some plants accidentally steal it. And some... quietly earn it. Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming one of those girls. She's not necessarily the loudest. She's not necessarily the biggest. But she has personality. She's got beautiful flowers. She's got frost. She's got that dark green character. And she's moving beautifully. So yes... she deserves her spotlight. ๐Ÿฆ„โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ Let's give it to her. 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 WE JUST WATCH โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Week 12. Frosted Guava Auto Pheno B. And honestly... there isn't some huge dramatic event to report this week. And that's okay. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's simply continuing to grow beautifully. Her sister is moving fast. She's moving fast. The flowers are developing. The plant is becoming more substantial. And we're doing what we need to do. That's growing. Not every week needs to contain some crazy intervention. Not every week needs a dramatic transformation. Sometimes the most important thing happening is simply... the plant keeps growing. And our job is to let her. We're providing the environment. We're providing the support. We're making the necessary adjustments. We're watching. We're documenting. And we're waiting for the next chapter. The big work has already been done. Now we're watching the show roll out. ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿฆ„ And I really like what I'm seeing. Frosted Guava Pheno B is becoming a beautiful plant. She's moving. She's stacking. She's developing. She's getting heavier. She's staying beautifully herself. And that's more than enough. So... let her shine. Let her grow. Let her do her thing. And let's enjoy the quiet part of the journey. Because before we know it... the quiet part will be over. And then... we'll have the scissors in our hands. ๐Ÿ˜‚โœ‚๏ธ But that's another chapter. For now? We're just watching. 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 โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ Another week. Another chapter. Another beautiful phenotype continuing to write her own story. A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document these individual journeys, share experiences and learn together. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Frosted Guava genetics and for giving us these beautiful girls to follow. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for supplying the additional Black Series 600W fixtures and allowing us to explore the expanded lighting setup. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ’š 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 watch these girls develop. It genuinely means a lot. ๐Ÿ’š And Frosted Guava Pheno B? You're doing exactly what you need to do. You're growing. You're stacking. You're developing. You're getting heavier. You're becoming more beautiful. And you're doing it without asking for much from me. Honestly... that's a pretty good deal. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ’š So let's give this beautiful girl the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's keep watching. Let's keep documenting. Let's keep doing what needs to be done... and nothing more. Because sometimes... the plants are doing all the interesting work. We're just lucky enough to be here to watch. ๐ŸŒฟโ„๏ธ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿ‘‘ Growers Love, my friends, and happy growing! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle... where the plants keep moving, the flowers keep stacking, the work slowly becomes less about growing and more about observing, and our little dark unicorn keeps quietly doing exactly what she wants. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒฟ Let her shine.

They are filling out. Have brown turned up tips, EC is good on run off, increasing water. The big Skunk #1 has some purpling and yellowing on some of the upper fan leaves, I belive it is hungry as it is the largest and the others do not show any of the same condition including the other Skunk #1 that is much smaller.

Sorry I'm only getting in touch now, I realized (unfortunately too late) that I still had the timer set to 12/12 from the start ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜’ I tried to reverse it to the vegi phase after I saw that they were blooming, but the impulse was already too strong, so it's better to continue with 12/12h, so much for that I'm very excited about the result but the plants from anesia seeds are growing excellently! And it already smells abnormally cool ๐Ÿคคโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅโ˜๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Œ I wish you a nice week you!?

Sheโ€™s flourishing great!! One of the quickest plants Iโ€™ve ever flowered no doubt! From the minute she was induced she took off like a rocket buds are dense and frosty n should be finishing up any week now! Very pungent almost citrus like odor from the plant but you smell the blueberries as well almost like a ripening one itโ€™s very distinct, but smells delicious among the other aromas.

Seems to be taking well to being moved to the 5gal pot. Growing a lot faster after the 2nd day in the bigger pot. Watered for the first time since planting in big pot after 5 days with 1L distilled water (Ph 7) mixed with 1/2 tsp. fox farms grow big and 1/2 tsp. big bloom. Since my soil is considered hot soil I wanted to use less than the recommendation on the bottle.

๐Ÿ’œ Week 7 โ€“ Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno B) Quiet Confidence One of the things I love most about growing multiple phenotypes side by side is discovering that every plant has its own way of telling a story. Some demand attention from the very beginning. Others slowly earn it. This Purple CousKush has always belonged to the second group. Since germination she's chosen her own rhythm, never trying to become the tallest plant in the room or the fastest to flower. Instead, she's quietly built herself into an incredibly balanced, healthy and elegant little lady. For anyone joining this 8ร—8 Adventure for the first time, this entire project is about growing multiple phenotypes side by side under exactly the same conditions. Every plant receives the same environment, nutrition and care, allowing their unique genetics and personalities to tell the story. This Purple CousKush is proving that sometimes the quietest phenotype becomes one of the most rewarding to watch. Week after week she's reminded me that confidence doesn't always need to be loud. Sometimes it simply grows. ๐ŸŒฑ Plant Development Week 7 finds this beautiful phenotype standing at approximately 88 cm, adding another impressive stretch since last week's update while maintaining the same wonderfully symmetrical structure she's displayed from the beginning. Although she still isn't the tallest Purple CousKush in the tent, she's becoming one of those plants that immediately catches your eye for all the right reasons. Every branch has continued developing evenly, creating a beautifully open canopy where light reaches almost every flowering site. The spacing between nodes has proven to be nearly ideal, giving each future cola plenty of room to develop without feeling crowded. The flowers themselves have taken a noticeable step forward this week. Fresh white pistils continue exploding from every bud site, while the individual flowers are beginning to connect into the first recognizable colas. They're still young, but the direction is becoming very clear. One thing that really stands out is her colour. The foliage has shifted into an incredibly rich emerald green that almost glows under the lights. Every leaf looks healthy, every stem feels strong, and the entire plant gives the impression of being perfectly comfortable in her environment. She may not be shouting for attention. But she's certainly earning it. ๐ŸŒฟ Environment & Growing Conditions Another week of stable environmental conditions has allowed this phenotype to continue flowering without interruption. โ€ข 12/12 light schedule from seed โ€ข Future of Grow Black Series LED delivering approximately 850 PPFD โ€ข Lumiflora under-canopy lighting now supporting lower flower development โ€ข Mammoth Pro grow tent โ€ข Day temperature around 29ยฐC โ€ข Night temperature around 25ยฐC โ€ข Relative humidity averaging 60% โ€ข COโ‚‚ approximately 639 ppm โ€ข pH 5.8 โ€ข EC 1.95 mS/cm One exciting addition this week has been introducing the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting. While the main Future of Grow Black Series continues driving the canopy from above, the Lumiflora fixtures now provide additional light beneath the canopy, helping lower flowering sites receive energy that would normally be lost in the shadows. As the flowers continue stacking over the coming weeks, this extra light should contribute to more uniform bud development throughout the entire plant instead of concentrating production only at the top. It's another small detail that helps maximize every square centimetre of the grow space. ๐Ÿ’ง Feeding Program Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container and receiving approximately 1.1 litres of solution per irrigation, she continues responding beautifully to the current bloom programme. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: โ€ข Terra Bloom โ€“ 2 ml/L โ€ข Pure Zym โ€“ 1 ml/L โ€ข Sugar Royal โ€“ 1 ml/L โ€ข Power Buds โ€“ 1 ml/L โ€ข Green Sensation โ€“ 1 ml/L The slightly increased EC has been welcomed without hesitation. Leaf colour remains beautifully vibrant, new flower growth is accelerating and the plant continues showing absolutely no signs of nutrient excess or deficiency. Sometimes the best feeding schedule isn't the most complicated one. It's simply the one the plant happily accepts. ๐ŸŒธ Phenotype Notes This Purple CousKush continues reminding me that beauty isn't measured in height. She's growing with incredible balance. The main stem has become noticeably thicker, every branch is supporting itself confidently, and each flowering site appears to be developing at almost exactly the same pace. There's something incredibly satisfying about watching a plant where nothing seems forced. Everything feels natural. The rich green foliage frames the developing flowers perfectly, while the bright white pistils almost sparkle against the darker leaves. She isn't trying to steal the spotlight. She simply shines in her own quiet way. Sometimes those become the most memorable plants of the entire run. ๐Ÿ” Looking Ahead The stretch now appears to be slowing, which means the next phase should become increasingly exciting. Over the coming week I expect the flowers to begin stacking much more aggressively as the plant redirects more of her energy into building density rather than height. The introduction of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting should also begin showing its benefits as the lower bud sites receive additional usable light, helping create a more consistent canopy from top to bottom. The framework has been built. Now comes the part every grower loves watching. The swelling. The stacking. And slowly, the first hints of the beautiful Purple CousKush she's been promising all along. ๐Ÿ’ญ Final Thoughts This week made me smile. Not because she's suddenly become the biggest plant in the room. But because she's becoming exactly what she was meant to be. Healthy. Balanced. Elegant. Every photograph tells the same story. Deep green leaves. Strong stems. Beautiful flower formation. And a plant that looks completely at peace with herself. She reminds me that growing isn't always about chasing the biggest harvest or the tallest canopy. Sometimes it's simply about appreciating a plant that's doing everything right. And this beautiful lady... She's doing exactly that. ๐Ÿ™ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8ร—8 Adventure. Every comment, every question and every shared experience make this journey even more rewarding. A special thank you to the amazing companies helping bring this grow to life: ๐Ÿ’œ Zamnesia for the incredible Purple CousKush genetics. ๐Ÿ’œ Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these ladies thriving. ๐Ÿ’œ Future of Grow for delivering outstanding lighting from above with the Black Series LED. ๐Ÿ’œ Lumiflora for helping illuminate the canopy from below, ensuring every flower has the opportunity to reach its full potential. ๐Ÿ’œ TrolMaster for maintaining the stable environment that allows these plants to perform at their very best. 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, every comment and every conversation. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

This strain has a yield of extra large, compact colas that are heavy in weight and covered in extra adhesive trichomes that stick to your fingers. Cherry Punch's exterior is dark green and exhibits small amounts of midnight purple leaves Cherry Punch's exterior is dark green and exhibits small amounts of midnight purple leaves. Its aroma is fruity but skunk-like, and has a soft, sweet berry taste that resembles its parent Purple Punch

The plant has just entered the drying process, and the parameters in the room are exceptional, with stable temperatures of 17ยฐ and humidity varying between 52% and 56%. The room is completely dark, well-ventilated with proper air exchange, and the airflow circulates the air without moving the flowers. Everything is going perfectly.
