May 3 - 6 Today is Graduation. She went from a little green seedling to a beautiful colorful overweight adult. She smells and looks great 👍. I'm pretty sad to cut her down, but she says she's ready and wants me to taste her sweet flavor. So I'm doing it. I will do some wet trimming and hang the plant as a whole. I also grew an experiment plant in a 16 oz container that I didn't showcase in the same tent. "Tropicana Cookies" I'll show a Pic and vid. I think I have the growing part down ok, So now let's hope 🙏 I get the drying part finished without issues 😅.

Had little issue with under feeding but up all doses by 10ml per 2 litres

📆 Semana 8 El cultivo entra en plena fase de engorde, con una absorción eficiente y el coco estable. La planta dirige toda su energía a ganar densidad y peso en las flores. Los cogollos siguen compactando y la resina aumenta, cubriendo cada vez más la superficie. El cultivo se mantiene sano, con buen color y aromas más intensos. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

Day 71. Start week 4 looking great by now. Day 74. Starting to have a bit smell of fruit with citrus. Hope her taste will be good. Lots of trichomes on early stage of bloom. :) Video on day 75 and 77.

🌱 Week 2 – Purple CousKush Auto | Pheno B | Building the Foundation Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of my 8×8 Adventure, where every seed gets the opportunity to tell its own story. This diary follows Purple CousKush Auto – Pheno B, and while her sister surprised me with an unusual mutation during the first weeks of life, this lady has chosen a different path. She is developing with beautiful symmetry, strong vigor, and exactly the kind of structure that makes a grower smile every time the tent opens. Every phenotype teaches something different, and that’s exactly why I enjoy documenting them individually. ⸻ 🌿 Week 2 Development This week has been all about establishing a strong foundation before explosive vegetative growth begins. From the very beginning, Purple CousKush B has shown excellent vigor. Her internodal spacing remains tight, the stem is becoming noticeably thicker, and every node is producing healthy new shoots with vibrant green growth. The leaves are broad, healthy, and reaching confidently toward the light, showing no signs of nutrient deficiencies or environmental stress. Compared to last week, the increase in biomass is obvious. She has transitioned from a small seedling into a young plant that is now preparing for the next stage of development. Everything looks balanced. Everything looks happy. ⸻ 🌱 Beginning Low Stress Training This week also marked the beginning of her first Low Stress Training (LST). Rather than forcing the plant into shape later, I prefer to begin gently while the stems are still flexible. The main stem has been carefully bent, encouraging the plant to redistribute auxins away from the dominant top and toward the lower branches. This simple technique allows more growing tips to receive equal light while keeping the canopy flatter for the weeks ahead. One thing I always appreciate about LST is that it works with the plant rather than against it. There is no cutting. No high-stress recovery. Just gentle guidance. Even after the initial bending, she responded beautifully. The side branches immediately began reaching upward, showing exactly why this training method has become one of my favorites for autos. Watching a plant adapt within hours never gets old. ⸻ 🌿 Plant Health Overall health continues to impress. Thick central stem Strong lateral branching Excellent leaf color Tight internodal spacing Healthy vigorous new growth The foliage remains lush without appearing overly dark, suggesting that nutrition is right where it should be. She’s developing into a compact but powerful little bush that should have no problem supporting a heavy canopy later in flower. ⸻ 🌍 Environment The entire room continues to provide an ideal environment for vigorous vegetative growth. Temperature, humidity and VPD remain within the target range, creating stable conditions that allow each phenotype to express its genetics without unnecessary stress. Consistent airflow keeps fresh CO₂ moving throughout the canopy while strengthening stems naturally, and the lighting continues delivering an even PPFD across the entire garden. Healthy roots create healthy plants, and maintaining environmental stability is just as important as choosing the right nutrients. ⸻ 🌱 Nutrition Purple CousKush Auto is growing in Plagron substrate, receiving the same carefully controlled feeding schedule as the rest of the 8×8 project. This run is built around the Plagron nutrient line, supplying everything needed for healthy root expansion and vigorous vegetative growth while avoiding unnecessary excesses during these early weeks. Rather than pushing rapid growth, my goal is to establish a strong root system first. Healthy roots become healthy stems, healthy stems support healthy branches, and healthy branches eventually become beautiful flowers. As always, balance beats excess. ⸻ 📸 This Week’s Observations One of the things I enjoy most is comparing sisters grown under identical conditions. Same room. Same lighting. Same nutrients. Same environment. Yet every plant still develops its own personality. While Pheno A became the little rebel, Pheno B is showing textbook development, responding perfectly to gentle LST and already building the structure that should carry her through flowering. Both are beautiful. Just beautifully different. That’s the magic hidden inside every seed. ⸻ 🌿 Looking Ahead Over the coming week, I’ll continue adjusting the LST little by little, allowing the secondary branches to rise evenly while maintaining a low, open canopy. The goal isn’t simply to make the plant shorter. The goal is to create an even platform where every future cola receives equal access to light and airflow. For now, there is no need to rush. She’s exactly where she should be. Healthy. Strong. Growing with confidence. ⸻ Thank you to Plagron for providing the foundation for this grow, Zamnesia for helping make this incredible project possible, and Grow Diaries for giving growers around the world a place to share, learn, and inspire one another. And thank you for following another week of this 8×8 Adventure. Whether a plant follows the textbook or decides to write its own chapter, every phenotype has something to teach us—and that’s what makes this journey so rewarding. Growers Love and see you all in Week 3. 🌱💚

Buds should be dried in the dark at 21 degrees in 50% humidity

Week 5 day 1. I have a favourite for next run. I’m very happy, I haven’t really defoliated at all this grow, just letting it grow. Wish I was going for mains(topping) but still very good. Going to wait around week 9 so seeds will be good for next run. I have decided to do very hard hst next round to show max potential. Very happy with supercropping so will do it very heavy with scrog. I will try to reveg the one I really like but it is difficult having only 1 set of lights and 1 tent. Plants are about 7ft tall, might just run 2 next round in 4x8 or will still continue to go 4 in the 4x8.

Harvested around 1 week ago, slowly drying with around 22° and 60% humidity. 3 different phenos. N2 Is the best about of 3. N1 is biggest one but buds quite small. N3 is not as frosty and dense as 1 and 2.

Diese Woche gab es erst viel Regen und dann wieder ordentlich Sonne. Ich habe diese Woche auch ein paar Raubmilben im Gewächshaus ausgesetzt, da ich einen leichten Befall von Spinnmilben und Thripsen habe. Ich wollte das ganze rechtzeitig eindämmen, bevor der Befall zum Problem wird. Ansonsten entwickelt sich die Dame prächtig und wächst fleißig weiter.

This week was a very easy one all that was involved was flushing. Flushing two separate times throughout the week involved tap water which was allowed to sit for 24 hours with air stones. Tap water was used first because the PPM of tap water is higher than RO water. Doing this avoids instant deprivation of food for plants, rather than cold turkeying them. As the last week arrives tap water will be replaced by RO water equating to 400PPM or less and given in abundance until PPM meter reads runoff at about the same 400PPM or less.

Las hojas están con manchas, creo que fue a causa del último riego con nutrientes, no fui cuidadoso y llegó de esa agua a las hojas... A causa de eso también quiero prevenir una sobrefertilización y está semana he decidido no regar con nutrientes, sólo con Bio up para subir un poco el pH del agua... A pesar de las hojas con manchas creo que van bien con el crecimiento teniendo en cuenta que esta es sólo mi segunda experiencia cultivando. Se me olvidaba mencionar que las pasé a su nuevo hogar esperando un mejor desarrollo para ellas

I removed the LST ties about 6weeks in and added Bloom when she was showing pre flowers although it states in the nutrient list I was adding both bloom basic and biobizz bloom I actually cut out the biobizz at week 9 and replaced it with Atami bloombastic.

Hi this is Apple fritter auto by Royal Queen No idea of the week as I have not been keeping track and the only updates will be pictures and a video once a week until harvest. Wish you all a successful grow.

Sorry for the late update so for that I included a video of my grow room. This week is the last for the horizontal growth and is is now going vertical. Can’t wait for that tall growth going forward.

13.3.23 Ich habe 150 (ppm) Wasser verschüttet, bisher hervorragende Entwicklung. Licht bei 50 % Alien Moonrocks | Original Sensible Seeds Die neue Sorte Alien Moonrocks von der Westküste der USA ist eine Fusion aus Sour Dubble und Tahoe Alien und eine der stärksten Cannabissorten in unserer Sammlung - Sie wird Sie wie eine Rakete treffen. Diese kosmische Hybride strotzt nicht nur vor Potenz, sondern blüht auch unglaublich schnell. Indoor ist diese unglaubliche Pflanze in nur 60 Tagen bereit für die Ernte und produziert schwere Erträge von riesigen, übergroßen Colas, die mit THC-Harzkristallen getränkt sind. Geben Sie diesen himmlischen grünen Schönheiten eine zusätzliche Blütezeit von 5 oder 7 Tagen und sie werden noch dickere, dichtere Knospen mit einem Potenzgrad von bis zu 33% liefern, die Sie in eine Zeitkapsel katapultieren werden. Limonen ist das dominierende Terpen in diesen Pflanzen und es erzeugt die sensationellen pikanten Zitrusaromen zusammen mit der Anwesenheit von Linalool, Myrcen und Caryophyllen, die sich zu frischen, fruchtigen Pfirsichnoten verbinden, um Sie mit diesem erstaunlich stimulierten, kräftigen Rausch aufzusteigen, der sich in schwere narkotische Entspannung entlädt Sie fühlen sich wie in der oberen Atmosphäre schwebend. Alle schriftlichen und visuellen Materialien sind nur für Informations- und Bildungszwecke bestimmt. Diese Woche habe ich mich entschieden, ein großes Zelt Mars Hydro 120•120 zu installieren, für eins und eine Lampe mit großer Reichweite FC E4800. Ich habe die Klimaanlage eingerichtet, jetzt liegt die Temperatur bei etwa 24, ich habe zwei Lüfter installiert, um den Secret Jardin Monkey Fan 20w zu blasen, ich wollte sie schon lange kaufen. Die Heizung funktioniert auch! Hoffe es wird bald wärmer 😅

Day 15 transplanted to a 10 gal container and 3×3 tent. Day 30 transitioning to flower. She's measuring 24 inches across definitely bushy and stout. Plan on scrogging through the upcoming weeks.

Weekly update. Sorry it was a late update this week I was out of town (Bizcon2024). Wow have they grown, I'd say doubling in size. I've upped the watering to 1000ml daily, this week I'll do a major defoliation and lollipoping. All in all Happy Growing

Gelato auto indoor.. different looking pheno then my outdoor..? Im very curious to see how this turns out!
