2018-03-13 Week 11 Day 1 As I mentioned last week, the girls are growing like crazy since I changed to 600W HPS,and even though they haven't grown so much higher, they are definetly wider because of LST. My growroom is only about 1.8m2, so now the girls are so wide that there's not enough space for them to get wider, so now I will let them stretch. Nr 1 is 44 cm Nr 2 is 39 cm 2018-03-14 Day 2 I LST'd the girls one last time and also defoliated them mildly so all the tops get as much light as possible,hopefully increasing the yield in the end. I also turn the girls 1/4 lap every day to ensure that all sides of them get as much exposure to light as possible, it would've been great to have some kind of turntable that turns the girls 1 lap in 12 hours,, but until I find out a device that does just that,I'll keep on doing ti manually. Added some videos for you to enjoy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Strain information Genetics for the famous Power Plant were captured by a group of Dutch growers on a trip to South Africa, back in the 90’s. They managed to breed a strain that was soon a popular choice in coffee shops of the Netherlands, most likely due to the soaring and intense Sativa high. Zambeza Seeds thought that the productiveness of Power Plant should never be forgotten and created an updated version, to bring the legend back to live. Power Plant XL yields up to 600-750g/m² in a flowering period of approximately 55 days! The efficiency and productiveness of Power Plant XL fears no comparison with many recently bred cannabis strains. Indoor heights of 80-110cm make this sativa-dominant variety relatively easy to grow, but outdoor growers need to be aware of the power that is being released under the sun. Outdoor plants can easily reach heights of 150-200cm, and yields of 500-600g per plant. The taste of Power Plant XL can be described as a delightful blend of sweet and sour flavours, with subtle hints of pine tree in the background. Smokers who appreciate a very strong and uplifting Sativa high will be more than satisfied with the effects. One will experience feelings of euphoria that are definitely intense and uplifting, typical for a South African Sativa like this. The up-high can also evolve into being more relaxed, especially when larger quantities are being consumed. Some people suspect Power Plant to be grown in large commercial operations around the world. It doesn’t really matter if these assumptions are the truth or myths, but Zambeza’s breeders are very proud to bring this highly productive legend back to live. The updated version of it, Power Plant XL, is the most efficient Dutch "bud factory" money can buy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Girls jus doing their thing living their best

Pre98 Bubba , oh how I’ve missed you for so many years! These ones came out absolutely gorgeous! Loving the the purple phenos 😍 ! These ladies liked to stretch quite a bit so you’re gonna want to use some LST on em but I also recommend topping at least 6 times to get a better bang on your yield ! Expect nice tight purple buds with a tremendous amount of frost covering, some of the frostiest Bubba I’ve ever had! Over all I give it 10 stars an would definitely over an over run this strain!

100% of seed is good !

Toller Start in die Woche an Ostern... Letztes mal Dünger... EC bei 2,5 jetzt muss sie nur bulken.

😎😎😎

I do not know what happened ... she germinated the same day as GSC and GC ... and the seed came badly ... so it will die ... it only takes up space ...

Day 59 Finally Fruit Spirit is going into 48 of darkness after 6 days of flushing.... She smells and looks just tasty cant wait to chop those girls in 2 days!!!!! 😬😁🙌

Hi growers. It's end of week 5 of flowering. So far, all girls looks quite well, only OG is showing that he is missing some zink.. Hope to heal her... Red mandarine is showing her true color as well.. Live that purple!! Stay stoned and keep growing! One love!

Hey everyone! It’s been another fabulous week of the girls fattening up getting ready for the ever looming harvest time! The colas are huge and glistening like a glitter ball! The back right girl has been on flush since day 51, 2 more went on flush on day 53, and the final girl front right went on flush today, day 56! Over the week I gave 3 girls a really heavy defoliation taking the majority of fan leaves off to allow good airflow and try fattening up those lower buds. It’s still impossible to tell if I prefer defoliation or not but we are getting close to harvest so should have a definitive answer to that soon! The back right girl has had absolutely no defoliation or trimming through her life cycle. I still regularly think back to when we broke one of the girls and transplanted, the cannabis gods were on our side warning us 4 girls will be huge, we were very lucky or would be seriously short of space as of now. As the girls are going to be harvested at slightly different times to ensure each are at their optimum, I have had to construct a dry box. How I built my smell free DIY dry box: Take a large cardboard box, cut an extraction hole in the top at one end and mount some ducting and seal the gap around the edge. Cut a flap in the opposite end at the bottom which will be the passive intake and promoting a draft through the hanging buds. Poke some holes in each end of the box using a screwdriver and thread some thin rope or string through the box tying the ends together once finished to give you sturdy locations to hang some pegs from. Finally I attached an extra bit of card on one of the flaps at the top; this overlaps the slight gap in the top between the flaps that could allow light to enter. Once completed I put the ducting into one of the lower intakes of the tent; the negative pressure in the tent then uses the air in the dry box as a passive intake creating a smell free area to dry your cannabis outside of your grow tent. This also keeps a slight breeze flowing through the box to ensure even drying. Happy toking guys and hope you enjoy the pics and vids, thought it was getting hard to tell how big these girls were in pics anymore so the vids help a lot, and I was lazy this week! :P

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 9 🌿 No Drama. No Complaints. Just Beautiful Growth. Sometimes a plant gives you a story. Sometimes she gives you a problem to solve. And sometimes... she simply stands there looking absolutely beautiful and gives you nothing to complain about. Purple CousKush Pheno A is having one of those weeks. 💜 After last week's little reminder that even a good grower can occasionally miss a watering window 😂, this girl has completely put that chapter behind her. She's back to doing what she does. Growing. Building. Flowering. And doing it beautifully. The deep greens are still there. The flowering sites continue developing. The structure is looking stronger and more defined every week. And the whole plant has that feeling I love seeing at this stage: She's comfortable. There isn't anything I look at and think needs fixing. There isn't anything screaming for intervention. There isn't anything I want to change just for the sake of changing it. So this week, I'm doing something very simple. I'm stepping back. I'm watching. And I'm letting her shine. 🌸 Week 6 Flower – She's Finding Her Rhythm Purple CousKush Pheno A is now approximately 125 cm tall, and her overall architecture continues to be one of the things I really enjoy about this phenotype. She's tall enough to stand out in the room, but what really catches my attention isn't simply her height. It's the way she's using that structure. The branches are carrying flowering sites beautifully. The central structure continues developing alongside the side branches. And the flowers are becoming increasingly defined throughout the canopy. We're getting deeper into flowering now, and the plant is moving away from the explosive structural development of earlier weeks and increasingly toward flower production. And honestly? I like where she's going. Very much. 🌿 Deep Green & Beautifully Balanced The foliage is one of the first things I notice every time I look at her. That beautiful, deep green colour is still everywhere. The leaves look strong. The canopy looks healthy. And the plant has a very balanced appearance. There's no obvious nutritional drama. No major stress showing in the foliage. No reason for me to start chasing something that isn't actually a problem. She's simply green. Deep green. Healthy green. The kind of green that makes you look at a plant and think: "Yep. She's happy." 😂💚 And that's exactly what I want. 🌸 The Flowers Are Getting Serious The flowering sites continue developing beautifully. The buds are becoming more substantial, and the individual structures are starting to come together into more defined flowering clusters. The pistils remain prominent, creating that beautiful contrast against the darker foliage. And when you look closely, there's more and more happening inside those flowers every week. This is the stage where the plant starts becoming particularly rewarding to photograph. From a distance, you see the structure. Move closer... and suddenly there's another world happening inside every flower. Calyxes. Pistils. Resin. New layers of development appearing week after week. And Purple CousKush is giving us plenty to look at. 💜 The Name Is Starting To Feel Appropriate There's something particularly satisfying about watching a cultivar called Purple CousKush develop. We're obviously not going to write the harvest story before harvest. 😂 But there is already something about her appearance that makes the name feel appropriate. The structure. The flowers. The personality. And the way she's developing deeper into bloom. Whatever colours she ultimately decides to show us later in the journey, I'm perfectly happy to wait. That's another thing I've learned from this project: Don't force the story. Let the plant write it. If she gives us colours, beautiful. If she stays green, beautiful. If she surprises us with something completely different... even better. ✂️ After The Cleanup – Now We Leave Her Alone Last week we gave her a selective cleanup after she recovered from that accidental underwatering. That intervention was about removing unnecessary foliage and opening the structure. This week? Nothing dramatic. No need to go back in with the scissors. No need to keep manipulating her. She's got enough healthy foliage. She's got good flowering structure. She's got space. She's got light. She's got airflow. So now it's time for the most underrated part of cultivation: doing nothing. 😂 Sometimes knowing when to stop touching the plant is just as important as knowing when to intervene. She's doing beautifully. So let her do it. 💡 Let The Plant Use The Photons The Future of Grow Black Series lighting continues providing the primary light from above, with the Lumiflora under-canopy system adding another layer of illumination lower in the plant. At this stage, I'm particularly interested in watching how the flowers respond as they continue developing. The canopy has already been opened enough to improve the movement of light and air through the structure. Now the plant gets to take advantage of that environment. We don't need to constantly manipulate the canopy. The photons are already there. The plant is already capturing them. Now we simply watch what she does with that energy. And so far... she's turning it into some very beautiful flowers. 🌬️ A Balanced Plant Is A Happy Plant One of the things I appreciate most about Purple CousKush right now is the overall balance. The foliage. The structure. The flowering sites. The environment. Everything seems to be working together. That's what I'm looking for. Not perfection. Not some artificial idea of what a plant should look like. Just balance. Enough foliage to support photosynthesis. Enough open space for airflow. Enough light reaching through the structure. Enough flowering sites developing where they can make good use of that environment. And most importantly... a plant that looks like she isn't fighting anything. She's just growing. 🌿 One Week After The Lesson I also have to give this girl some credit. Last week she reminded me that watering mistakes happen. This week she basically said: "Okay. Are we finished talking about that now?" 😂 Yes, ma'am. We're finished. The important part is that she recovered beautifully and hasn't carried that moment forward. The plant is healthy. The flowers are developing. The leaves look excellent. And the overall progression is exactly where I want it. That's another reason I don't believe in panicking when something minor happens. Observe. Correct it. Give the plant time. Then watch. Sometimes the best evidence that everything is okay is simply what the plant does afterward. And Purple CousKush? She's doing just fine. 💧 Nutrition & Irrigation The flowering nutrition program continues without unnecessary changes. We're maintaining the established Plagron flowering approach and continuing to monitor the plant individually rather than changing things simply because another phenotype behaves differently. Current cultivation conditions remain around: 💧 pH: approximately 6.0 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.0 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💦 Watering: approximately 1.3 L per plant / 24h ? Pot: 15 L The biggest change from last week isn't the numbers. It's the observation. After the little watering lesson, I'm paying close attention to her irrigation needs and making sure she doesn't have to ask for another drink quite so dramatically. 😂 Healthy dry-back? Fine. A wilted Purple CousKush waving at me? Message received. 🌡️ Environment The room continues running with the same stable flowering environment: ☀️ Day temperature: 29°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% 🌬️ CO₂: approximately 639 ppm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 That consistency is becoming increasingly important as flowering progresses. The plants are now carrying substantial flowering structures, and keeping the environment predictable gives them the best opportunity to continue developing without unnecessary interruptions. Purple CousKush seems perfectly comfortable inside that environment. And when a plant is comfortable... I don't see a reason to complicate things. 🌸 Flowers, Structure & Potential This is where my curiosity really starts increasing. Purple CousKush Pheno A has already built a very respectable framework. Now we're watching that framework become flowers. The branches are carrying increasingly developed sites. The buds are becoming more pronounced. The foliage remains beautifully green. And the overall structure continues looking strong. We're getting closer to the point where the plant's final architecture will become much easier to judge. But we're not there yet. There's still plenty of development ahead. So I'm not going to predict the ending. I'm just going to enjoy watching her get there. 🔬 One Plant, One Phenotype, One Story This is one of the reasons I love documenting every individual plant in the 8×8 Adventure. If I simply photographed the entire room, I'd see a beautiful canopy. But when I isolate Purple CousKush Pheno A... I see her personality. She's energetic. She's tall. She's structurally beautiful. She's developing flowers consistently. And she's remarkably resilient. Last week gave us one little lesson. This week gives us something much simpler: consistency. And sometimes consistency is the most beautiful thing a plant can give you. 🔭 Looking Ahead – Let's See Where She Takes Us Now I'm genuinely curious about the next few weeks. How much more will those flowers swell? How much more resin will develop? How will the pistils progress? Will her colours change as she gets deeper into maturity? How will the final structure reveal itself? And ultimately... what is this particular Purple CousKush phenotype going to give us? I have no idea yet. And that's exactly how I like it. Because the whole point is to watch. Not predict. Not force. Not write the ending before the story is finished. Just watch her move. And she's moving beautifully. 💜 Final Thoughts – No Complaints Whatsoever I think sometimes we growers spend so much time talking about problems that we forget to celebrate the weeks where there simply aren't any. So let's celebrate this one. Purple CousKush Pheno A is doing beautifully. She's got those deep, deep greens I love. She's carrying beautiful flowers. Her bud structure is developing nicely. She's growing consistently. She's recovered completely from last week's little watering lesson. The canopy is balanced. The plant looks comfortable. And honestly... I have no complaints. None. She's simply doing her thing. And she's doing it beautifully. That's all I really want from her right now. Keep growing. Keep building. Keep flowering. Keep showing me what your genetics decided to become. And I'll keep watching. Because every week she gives me another reason to look twice. Purple CousKush Pheno A doesn't need a dramatic story this week. She doesn't need a problem. She doesn't need a big intervention. She just needs her spotlight. And she deserves it. 💜✨ A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for these beautiful Purple CousKush genetics, Plagron for the nutrition, Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting, Lumiflora for bringing additional light beneath the canopy, TrolMaster for environmental control, and of course to everyone following this crazy 8×8 Adventure on GrowDiaries. Every phenotype has her own personality. Every week adds another chapter. And Purple CousKush Pheno A? She's simply moving forward. Beautifully. Consistently. And without giving me anything to complain about. So let's give this girl the spotlight one more time. Deep green. Beautiful flowers. Beautiful structure. No complaints. 💜🌿✨ Until next week... Keep doing your thing, Purple CousKush. I'll be watching. Growers love and happy growing! 🌱💚

So my plant is growing very wel we have hot weather She almost gets a liter of water with nutrition daily .. I cant wait for her to start flowering ... Also chek the buds from the other plant ... Not bad right .. Peace 🌴

This week has been such a great week, as you can see compared to last week they have shot up and really spreaded out! Finally rained a good bit last night so put some feed on them and this rain will have washed it into them. Next few days need to get down and put some netting over then try get them spread out bit more before this stretch comes. When potted in ground mixed soil with some charge and bone meal so think they’ve hit some of that with the growth they’ve shown this week looking really good and hope they keep it up! Happy gorilla growing 🌱

04/19 - (M) - The mother is running accordingly - changing out her drip emitter system with a Vivo 16 drip line for increased feeds - Increased carbohydrate dosing for terp production using "RAW NPK CANE MOLASES". 04/19 - (C) - In avoiding growth decay from running the clones to long I have flipped them into flower this week - I will be transplanting all 8 into the 4x4 with their mother (FLOWER TENT) - These will be running off the drip lines as well for consistent and efficient feedings.

Grape Ape Cake ! Lineage; Hotcakes (Katsu Bubba Kush X Burnt Toast (from Raw Genetics) X Grape Ape An Exciting New Collab from Katsu Bluebird ! Welcome back, & or Thanks for Joining me ! Week 15, & the End of 9 weeks of flowering (65 Days of 12/12) Well Here we are, the last flower entry.. only one more entry the HARVEST of these Gorgeously Dank Flowers from Katsu. We are Seven Days into the flush & thus far everyone is holding steady ! Only 3-7 more day's for the group ! As your can see plants One & Five are the quickest of the Pheno's, they received their last watering today & once they dry back 50% of todays water they'll be into 24-48 hours darkness before the chop. As for Plants Two & Four are they Longest running of the Pheno's they will likely receive another watering, & run another 7 days. Plant Three is the one i'm watching closest ! this plant is SHOWSTOPPING... Grape Candies Dipped in Gasoline floods the floor, the moment I open the tent.. This particular pheno may go 7 more days maybe not.. Its very close to the finish line either way... I'm Drooling. The most exciting part about starting to pull plants is the ability for my to take some better isolated Bud Shot photo's ! :)I wish I had the funds to keep upgrading my photography gear but its an expensive hobby...maybe ONE DAY lol!💪 The Boys Club saw a little bit of action this week as well.. a long over due hand job for the jizz monster. I am very excited to cross this guy back with a cut of Pheno 3.. & maybe something else but I need to find it first.. any thoughts ? Grapes &...? This process used to be SO damn time consuming.. until the Trim Bin.. The recommendation is to use 1/10 ratio of baking flower as a natural absorbent to keep the moisture away from your pollen.. as you can see I dumped a bunch out after the first photo lol I cant wait to Share coming weeks as the Wonderful Harvest is almost here ! Thanks for Reading 🙌 If you have a question or a comment leave it down below otherwise, I Hope You Check in Next Week, Stay Safe out there & Happy Gardening Cariboo

Start of week 5. Expecting to flower at the end of this week. Hopefully. Added advanced nutes Cal mag and PH perfect micro grow bloom. 2ml/L on day 29 08/29/20. And again on 09/02/20 Auto speed bud is pretty much an experimental strain since its so fast. 65 days from sprout to harvest. 3 are looking really good. The other 3 not so much. We'll see what happens

The girls have survived another week ❤️ I did a light defoliation and have been monitoring the RH closely. We have had a very damp week here, and the RH kept climbing and had my fan working hard. They are starting to plump up and fill in 😋. They have also started to slow their drinking habits, instead of watering every three days, it has moved to every 4 now. Just a couple of weeks left, I think I will be harvesting these over Christmas 🎄, and will have some great bud ready for the new year! 🎉🎊🍾

Mi oasis recibe si primer baño con preventivo, aplico aceite de neem cuando mis bellas se van a dormir justo cuando la luz se apaga las dejo bien empapadas por todos lados repitiendo una vez por semana.

Still not giving enough nitrogen.
