Everything is going great, I also think my plants have stopped stretching/growing, although really close to the lights. I am not seeing lightburn, is this is something should be concerned about? The leaf temp is about 75 degree under the light. Also just sticking with AN Bloom, Big Bud, Bud Candy. Should I be using B52? Also is overdrive worth it? it seems expensive for two weeks worth of work? One more question? Is superThrive bad in flowering? I read somewhere it could make bad things happen in flower because of the hormones it has. thus my question about B52.

Harvested Plant #2 and Plant #3 at 11 weeks. Still have #4 and #5 to go. They are just about ready. Been waiting until the leaves turn purple. These plants have been flushing for weeks because I thought they were going to be done sooner, but they haven't missed a beat. They have a very strong, sweet smell. I highly recommend Cobbler Crisp!!!

From a distance its is really striking...does'nt show in pictures sadly She is next up for defoliation, together with Killer Kush. Few more days rain till sunny period..fingers crossed. Happy growing everyone

All I can say is wow. The crystal development and the absolute stank of this genetic is something to behold. A brush of the arm against a set of pistils will leave you with matted arm hair and a difficult mess to clean. Strong limonene presence in 2 of the phenos, heavy red color through most stems. Will be a very special harvest and a very sticky trim. The frost is living up to the hype so far

She’s super sticky completely coated with frost much like frost banger. Her buds are very long/tall and thick. Great size but not very dense. Shes still foxtailing. But no worries if she doesn’t end up being a very dense plant, we’ll just use her to make Gummies..

They are all showing sex and doing really well. Hoping with what we learned in our first grow that these three ladies end up with nice big firm buds. Based on their structure thus far I think these ladies have real promise.

Because of the extrem Defolitation/Schwazzing, which was more or less necessary regarding Humidtiy levels of of over 95% around evening night and morning. Even though I also did it for trying out how the Plants react. They mainly stopped growing Bud for 3-4 Days and the leaves of the Bud Sides got a bit Bigger. Also I had problems with NutBurn and Heat Burn, Nutburn because of my not constantly watered Pots which, I guess, ended up beeing a really salty and nutrient soaked(from the soil) substrate because they are reused Filters for Water out of clay. As well in midday it gets really hot and we are more than 3500ft over the sea level. And why I grow in Clay Filters ? Just to try, in my opinion already not recommendable even though it keeps the Soil a bit cooler..

Week 2: Trying to be anal about VPD. Feeding nutrients every watering, PPFD/DLI is not dialed in just following the manuals recommended light distance. Humidifier on the outside of the lower right vent and AC Infinity helps maintain RH %.

💜 Week 7 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno A) The One Who Refuses to Slow Down Every grow has that one plant. The one that simply refuses to follow the pace of everyone else. While some of the ladies in the 8×8 Adventure have already shifted almost entirely into building flowers, this Purple CousKush still seems to have endless energy. She's stretching, branching, stacking flowers, producing fresh pistils and beginning to lay down the first noticeable layer of frost—all at the same time. It's almost as if she decided that flowering wasn't enough. She wanted to keep building everything. Watching her evolve over the last week has been one of the highlights of this entire project. Every day she seems a little taller, a little fuller and a little more beautiful. Some plants grow. Others perform. 🌱 Week 7 – A Beautiful Structure Comes Alive Standing at approximately 90 cm, she has added another impressive burst of vertical growth while maintaining the elegant structure that first caught my attention several weeks ago. From a distance she almost resembles a Christmas tree, not because she's perfectly symmetrical from top to bottom, but because of the way her side branches rise evenly around a dominant central leader that proudly stretches above the canopy. The main cola continues reaching for the light while the surrounding branches develop into an impressive collection of secondary tops, creating an architecture that feels both natural and incredibly efficient. The stretch hasn't completely stopped yet, but it's beginning to slow enough that flower production is now taking centre stage. Every branch is carrying healthy clusters of bright white pistils. The buds are beginning to stack along the stems. The first sparkling trichomes are appearing on the sugar leaves. The transition into full bloom is now impossible to miss. 🌿 Different Genetics. Different Personalities. One of the things I enjoy most about growing from seed is being reminded that genetics always have the final word. Every plant inside this room receives exactly the same care. The same environment. The same nutrition. The same lighting. The same attention. Yet every phenotype tells a completely different story. Some stay compact. Some stretch aggressively. Some begin stacking flowers early. Others spend longer building structure before committing their energy to bloom. Purple CousKush Pheno A has chosen her own path from day one. Instead of comparing her with the others, I've learned to appreciate exactly what makes her unique. That's one of the greatest lessons cultivation can teach us. Success isn't making every plant look identical. Success is allowing every plant to express its own genetic potential. 🍃 Plant Health Health continues to be exceptional from top to bottom. The foliage maintains a rich, healthy green colour with excellent leaf posture throughout the canopy. The stems have thickened considerably over the last week, providing outstanding support for what will eventually become long flowering colas. The internodal spacing remains one of my favourite characteristics of this phenotype. Open enough to allow superb airflow. Close enough to create beautiful flower stacking. Combined with the early Low Stress Training, the canopy now feels incredibly open, making light penetration and air circulation almost effortless. Sometimes less intervention produces the best results. 💡 Lighting – A New Chapter Begins This week also marks an exciting addition to the grow. The Lumiflora under-canopy lighting system has officially joined the 8×8 Adventure. While the Future of Grow Black Series LED continues delivering outstanding intensity from above, the Lumiflora bars now provide valuable light beneath the canopy, reaching lower flowering sites that traditionally receive far less energy during bloom. For a phenotype like this, with long side branches carrying multiple developing flowers, under-canopy lighting has the potential to become a genuine game changer. Instead of allowing lower bud sites to develop in shade, they now receive additional light exactly where it's needed. It'll be fascinating to watch how this influences flower development over the coming weeks. Sometimes progress comes from adding more light. Sometimes it comes from placing that light in a smarter location. 💧 Feeding Program Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container and hand-watered with approximately 1 litre per irrigation, she continues responding beautifully to her flowering nutrition. Current feeding: • Terra Bloom – 2 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • Green Sensation – 1 ml/L Maintaining: • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.95 mS/cm The increase in EC has been accepted without hesitation. Leaf colour remains perfectly balanced, flower production continues accelerating, and the plant shows absolutely no indication of nutrient stress. When a feeding program is working this well, consistency becomes the most valuable nutrient of all. 🌡️ Environment Environmental stability continues allowing every phenotype to perform at its full potential. Current conditions: • 12/12 light schedule from seed • Approximately 850 PPFD • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root-zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Stable conditions continue making all the difference, allowing the plants to dedicate their energy toward growth rather than constantly adapting to environmental changes. 🔍 Looking Ahead Although she's beginning to slow her vertical growth, I don't think she's quite finished stretching yet. Over the coming week I expect the remaining stretch to gradually fade while the flowers begin swelling much more noticeably along every branch. The open structure she's built over the past several weeks should now become one of her biggest advantages, allowing every flowering site to receive excellent light while maintaining outstanding airflow throughout the canopy. With the addition of the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting, I'm especially excited to see how those lower bud sites respond. The framework is complete. Now it's time for the flowers to fill it. 💭 Final Thoughts This Purple CousKush reminds me that plants don't wait for each other. Every phenotype follows its own internal calendar. She isn't concerned with what the rest of the room is doing. She's simply following her genetics, growing exactly the way she was designed to grow. Watching that individuality unfold is one of the greatest rewards of growing from seed. Every week she seems to reveal another layer of her personality. Taller. Stronger. More elegant. And now, finally, beautifully covered with the first signs of resin that promise wonderful things in the weeks ahead. Sometimes the best growers aren't the ones who control every detail. They're the ones who know when to step back and simply let great genetics tell their own story. 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this 8×8 Adventure. Your encouragement, questions and shared experiences continue to make every update even more rewarding. A special thank you to the incredible companies helping make this grow possible: 💜 Zamnesia for these fantastic Purple CousKush genetics. 💜 Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these ladies thriving. 💜 Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting from above. 💜 Lumiflora for bringing a whole new dimension to this flowering room with their incredible under-canopy lighting. 💜 TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment throughout every stage of the grow. And finally, thank you to the entire GrowDiaries community. Every comment, every question and every visit makes this journey even more enjoyable. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

1st sign of bud rot….hope she gets through these full-moon rains without any mould…eventually to continue growing I would need a green house because I’m noticing some croton scale pest on the stems….some were scraped off but I may have an early harvest if it gets worse.

Sep 6: Tropicana Cookies FF is doing great. Maybe not as much flower maturation last week as I expected but we’re just starting week 8 of flowering. So likely the end of September which is fine for the late start on this plant. Sep 7: decided on a final top dressing of malted barley and Power Bloom. Seems they need a bit more P.

Last feeding, I have lowered the nuts as I observe that the plant has reached the maximum tolerable level of fertilizer and is approaching the end of its cycle. The buds have become denser and are as hard as rocks 🤤😍 . It smells amazing. At the next watering I will begin to wash the roots.

Stretch has been slow and easily managed. Defoliating a little daily. Plant in back is a clone of Blackcherry sherb, you can find more pictures in that diary. I add more as I grow the clones out instead of starting a new diary of same strain
