So this is how the ladies are looking at the end of Week 1 from Seed, all 5 ladies are looking great, what I will do is pick the best looking 4 out of the 5 before transplanting 👍🏾😎

26.12.24: I have noticed light stress on my plants. I had moved the lights further away and increased the light intensity to 70%. Unfortunately that created some issues. Namely severe palour of the leaves. To try and rectify the situation, I've dimmed the lights to about 30%, staying at the same distance, about 30 inches away. I measured the par levels, after I did this. They should a reading of anywhere between 40 and 150, at the canopy of the plants. They are all different sizes. This seems to have improved the colouring on all plants. After this evenings watering, I will monitor recovery and increase lighting intensity again slowly. I am also using the light cycle of 21/3, so the plants have many hours more light to absorb, than for example 12/12 or 18/6. 29.12.24: So I finally gave LST a shot, it's probably a bit too late, however I really want to get the most of the triploid pheno, and I went a little crazy and LST'd all plants except 2, as they're too small. I did that late last night, this afternoon I was amazed to see the plants turn their leaves back to the light source. I'm glad I overcame my fear of trying it. I'm very excited to see them adapt and progress! 😁 there are videos above with before and after of my LST process. I am pleased with the progress, considering all of my mistakes! Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Flowering Week 7 Trichomes getting milky 🔍 I removed the CO2 BAG, lowered the temp. to 26° end of week 6, that's gonna protect the beautiful buds from the heat the last 2 weeks. From this week there will only be water + CalMag, next week flush with just water. Update: 2 plants was ready to harvest on day 49 🌳🌳

Start of week 8 runtz

Welcome to Flower Week 9 and harvest of Fast Buds Papaya Sherbet For this Project , I’ve chosen the Feminized Photo strain Papaya Sherbet : Here’s what I’m worked with: • 🌱 Tent: 120x60x80 • 🧑‍🌾 Breeder Company: Fast buds • 💧 Humidity Range: 35 • ⏳ Flowering Time: 58 Days • Strain Info: 30%THC • 🌡️ Temperature: 26 • 🍵 Pot Size: 16l • Nutrient Brand: Narcos • ⚡ Lights : 600W x 2 A huge thank you to Fast Buds for allowing me to try my Best with this amazing collection from Automatic and Photo Strains they managed to Sponsore . Big thanks for supporting the grower community worldwide! Your genetics and passion speak for themselves! Let’s grow together – and don’t forget to stop by again to see the latest updates! Happy growing! Stay lifted and stay curious! Peace & Buds!

The plant is growing strong. I have to change the wires in order to follow the plant growing. Seems quite hard because there is no soil to attach hooks. So i am thinking to build something that might work better for main lining on hydroponics.

well, at the end of week 4 i think she continue racing with her sisters and we definitely have a winner ! 😃, she has bud sites all over her, healthy, strong and smelly girl , i think i will get maybe more 6 to 9 grams just with topping, she responded very well to it. took one pot out because one little seed germinated with the root upwards , I tried to put it on the right path but without success, she died later... learned that they are so fu***ng sensitive in this fase.

Transplanted and topped today. I always transplant and top at the same time as new shoots equals new roots! Maximize your grow! The roots are looking amazing for this transplant. I made another coco perlite and gaia green mix. This time with a 1:2 ratio of the 4-4-4 and 2-8-4 because I will be flipping to flower the week after the plants have recovered from topping. On transplant I use a mycorrhizae powder to reduce transplant shock and aid in nutrient uptake and root development. They still need some nitrogen to support them during the stretch but the added phosphorus helps with the stretch along with potassium to setting buds. I also installed my first layer of trellis to weave the plants in early. At the end of the week I got 2 autos and wanted to see what I could do with them so I planted them and then also got rid of one of the Caramel Creams (C.C) because it was lagging behind the other one a little to much.

From week 2 of flowering I have only a few days of pictures. Due to vacations I don't have more

Week 2 of flower The Red Hot Cookies and Lemon Orange are really stretching out. Glad I put them at the back of the tent. The Mimosa X Orange Punch is taking her time as far as flowering goes. The Black Apple Hitchcock (there is a separate diary for this plant) has been even slower transitioning into flower. But all in all the plants are happy so I am happy. 6.0 pH 500 ppm 65F water temp 71 tent temp 41 % RH

🌿 Week 4 – Purple CousKush Auto #12 | Plant B The Quiet Strategist Begins Her Move | 8×8 Adventure Every plant has its own story, even when they share the same tent, the same light, the same feeding schedule, and the same care. That’s one of the reasons I decided to document each phenotype individually throughout this 8×8 Adventure. Every seed carries its own personality, its own pace, and its own way of expressing the genetics hidden inside. Today the spotlight belongs to Purple CousKush Auto #12 – Plant B. While a couple of her sisters are already sprinting into flower much earlier than expected, this lady is taking a slightly more measured approach. She’s clearly entering pre-flower, showing her first pistils and announcing that the transition has begun, but she’s doing it on her own schedule. There’s no rush here… just steady, confident progress. And honestly… I like that. Sometimes the plants that don’t demand attention early become some of the most rewarding later on. ⸻ 🌱 Life inside the 8×8 Adventure The room continues running under the 12/12 From Seed experiment, a method that constantly surprises me with how differently each cultivar reacts. Even under identical environmental conditions, every plant interprets that limited photoperiod in its own way. Some immediately focus on reproduction while others continue building structure before committing fully to flowering. Purple CousKush B seems to belong to the second group. She continues investing energy into producing new growth while gently stacking pre-flowers across the upper nodes. Watching these differences unfold is exactly why I enjoy documenting every individual plant instead of only reporting on the room as a whole. ⸻ 🌿 Training without forcing nature This week has mostly been about leaf tucking and a little gentle Low Stress Training. Rather than removing healthy fan leaves, I’ve simply been moving them out of the way to expose lower growth sites to the LED. It’s amazing how much additional light reaches the interior of the plant with just a few careful adjustments. LST continues following the same philosophy. No aggressive bends. No unnecessary stress. Just guiding branches into better positions so the canopy can develop naturally while allowing more future flowering sites to receive direct light. With autoflowers, timing is everything. Every day counts, so I prefer making small corrections instead of major interventions. Purple CousKush B has responded beautifully, opening her structure while continuing to push healthy new shoots from every direction. ⸻ ☀️ Summer is definitely here… The biggest challenge this week hasn’t been nutrition. It hasn’t been watering. It hasn’t been training. It’s simply been the weather. Outside temperatures continue climbing, making it surprisingly difficult to keep the grow room perfectly stable—even with the air conditioning working around the clock. Despite seeing daytime temperatures touching 33°C, humidity has remained reasonably controlled, helping prevent excessive stress while maintaining healthy transpiration. Considering the conditions, I’m genuinely happy with how all the ladies are responding. Strong stems. Healthy green foliage. Excellent turgor. No signs of heat damage beyond the normal environmental challenge that summer inevitably brings. Sometimes growing isn’t about chasing perfect numbers… It’s about adapting and helping the plants stay comfortable despite Mother Nature trying to make things interesting. ⸻ 💧 Week 4 Feeding The feeding schedule remains simple and consistent: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Solution parameters: • EC: 1.35 mS/cm • pH: 6.1 The plants continue responding extremely well, with lush green foliage and vigorous new growth showing that the nutrition remains well balanced. ⸻ 🌸 Looking ahead With pre-flower now clearly underway, I’m expecting Purple CousKush B to begin stretching over the next week. Unlike some of her faster sisters, she’s building a slightly more open architecture before committing fully to flowering, which could translate into excellent light penetration later in bloom. Every day brings another surprise inside this tent, and that’s exactly what makes this project so enjoyable. One room. One environment. One feeding program. Yet every phenotype writes its own story. I can’t wait to see what chapter Purple CousKush B has planned next. ⸻ As always, a massive thank you to everyone following this adventure, leaving comments, sharing knowledge, and supporting these journals week after week. Your encouragement genuinely makes documenting every phenotype worthwhile. A huge thank you as well to Plagron for the outstanding nutrition, Zamnesia for the incredible genetics, and everyone helping make this 8×8 Adventure possible. Growers Love and see you all next week for another chapter. 🌱💚

We are starting flowering this week, the transition period was 24h of darkness from May 11th to 12th. A few days after changing the light time we noticed the first pistils appearing (May 18th), then we took two clones from the bottom and removed a few leaves from them.

On 3 of them I applied LST and Topping On other 3 Toppin only I am aware that they will soon run out of space,which means that I will have to move two of them to another tent...we'll see

She is looking amazing since! I am very happy!

Hey everyone 😃. Due to the lack of space in the flower tent at the moment, I decided to use a delayed LST for the 2 women 🙂. So I can let them grow again in the next 30 days until there is room in the flower tent 😄👍. I'm curious to see how they will recover, and I think that growth will continue in the next 48 hours 👌. I wish you a lot of fun with the update, stay healthy 🙏🏻 and let it grow ☘️🍀 You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/cream-caramel/ Type: Cream Caramel ☝️🏼 Genetics: Blue Black x Maple Leaf Indica x White Rhino 👍 Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional + ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.5 - 5.8 .

we improvised with threads the mesh was badly placed but everything served and fulfilled its function, now the leaves have grown again and the mini jungle is re-formed, we really liked how the previous pruning turned out although aggressive to the plants it did not affect them they recovered almost instantly, and it works in our favor because of the space, so this is already the end of the second or the beginning of the third week, in the next one I will upload the pruning and everything as it is already at the end of almost the 3rd week of flowering, at least of the larger, the others, as you know, are 2 to 3 weeks apart, so for them it is 1 or 2 weeks of flowering, which is noticeable in their development. the risks that are written down in the diary are the fertilizer once a week, and 1 3.5-liter drum or a gallon is used, which is divided into the 2 largest and another equal gallon with a different proportion for the 5 smallest , in the newspaper it is written down of the great ones.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had thunderstorms, rain, and drizzle early morning and intermittently throughout the day. Temperatures were in the lower 80's. I tied these down today. Day 2 we had thunderstorms and rain in the morning, then rain and drizzle intermittently throughout the day. High temperature for the day was 71°. Day 3 we had lots of sunshine and high temperature around 84°. Day 4 we had partly cloudy skies and a high temp of 72°. I watered from the hose about 2 gallons per pot. Day 5 we had clear skies and a high temp of 89° F. Day 6 we had lots of sunshine and clear skies. High temp was 89°. I watered about 2 gallons per pot from the hose. Day 7 we had rain the previous night and today lots of sunshine. High temperature was 86°. The rain took care of the watering today. This week was a success. They added another 10" of height. I did a little low stress training on the lower limbs and will spread the two main ones out but not bend them down. I added a little soil to the pots, but won't top off til next week. We are getting warmer temps now and they're growing super fast now.
