Mexican Sativa x monte frontè

I love this plant! It made some huge fan leaves and the branches are super symmetrical! It loves the higher amount of nuts. Very easy to train it, flexible branches. Looking forward to seeing if the buds will be just as big as the leaves!

💜 Purple CousKush Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno A | Week 11 ✨ Still a Glamorous Girl — Frosty, Fading & Possibly Entering Her Final Chapter Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 🌱💚 And honestly... there isn't a huge amount to say this week. And I mean that as a compliment. 😂💜 Purple CousKush Pheno A is still doing exactly what she has been doing so beautifully: Growing. Flowering. Frosting. And looking absolutely fucking gorgeous. She's still a glamorous plant. Actually... the frost levels on this girl are getting a little ridiculous. ❄️💜✨ At this stage of the adventure, most of the plants are essentially in auto mode. They're doing their thing. They're following their own rhythm. They're developing their flowers. And we're not trying to constantly interfere with that process. There's no major training. No major reshaping. No unnecessary intervention. We observe. We maintain. We provide. And we let the plants finish their stories. And Purple CousKush? She may be starting to tell us that her story is getting close to the final chapters. 🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌱 The 8×8 Adventure — When the Plants Start Writing the Ending For anyone discovering this diary for the first time, welcome to the 8×8 Adventure. The concept is simple: Twelve different plants. One room. Essentially the same environment. Same general lighting strategy. Same 12/12 schedule. Same irrigation philosophy. Same nutritional program. Same grower. But different genetics. Different phenotypes. Different expressions. Different rhythms. And now we're reaching one of the most interesting parts of the experiment. The plants are starting to show us not only who they are... but how they want to finish. Some are still pushing hard. Some are still developing. Some are moving faster. Some are moving slower. And some are starting to say: "Okay... I think I'm getting ready to leave." 😂 Purple CousKush Pheno A appears to be one of those girls. ──────────────────────── 💜 The Glamour Girl Is Still Shining Last week I called her glamorous. This week? The title still fits perfectly. She's beautiful. She's balanced. She's elegant. And she's absolutely covered in frost. ❄️❄️❄️ Honestly... the resin production on this girl is becoming one of the first things I notice when I look at her. You don't have to search for it. You don't have to wonder whether she's getting frosty. She's basically announcing it. 😂💜 The flowers have that sparkling appearance that makes you want to get closer and closer with the camera. And the closer you get... the crazier it becomes. Trichomes everywhere. Resin-covered surfaces. Beautiful flowering structures. Tiny details catching the light. This is one seriously frosty girl. And I absolutely love it. ──────────────────────── ❄️ Frost Levels: Completely Ridiculous Let's just give this its own section. Because... wow. 😂❄️💜 The frost on Purple CousKush Pheno A is absolutely out of this world. She's reaching that stage where the flowers almost stop looking like they're simply covered in resin... and start looking like the resin is part of the flower itself. Every angle seems to reveal another layer. And this is exactly why I love having the camera around during this stage. The naked eye sees a beautiful flowering plant. The macro lens says: "Hold my beer." 😂📸❄️ Suddenly you see an entire world of tiny structures. Trichomes. Resin. Pistils. Calyxes. Sugar leaves. Texture. Light reflecting off everything. And Purple CousKush is giving us plenty to photograph. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Looking More Mature The flowers themselves are continuing to develop nicely. They're established now. We're well beyond the stage of wondering what the plant is going to look like. She's showing us. And she's showing us beautifully. The structures are substantial. The flower sites are well defined. The resin is heavy. And there's a clear sense that the plant is moving toward maturity. This is one of those stages where the changes from week to week can become more subtle. We're not necessarily looking for dramatic new growth anymore. We're watching for refinement. Maturation. Density. Resin. Colour. And those little signs that tell us the plant is moving toward the end of her journey. And this girl has started giving us one of those signs. ──────────────────────── 🍂 She's Starting to Fade This is probably the biggest change I'm seeing this week. Purple CousKush Pheno A has started fading. And honestly? I was expecting it sooner or later. She's beginning to show those visual signs that she's moving into a later stage of flower. And that's what makes me think she may be approaching her final run. Not necessarily tomorrow. Not necessarily next week. I'm not putting a date on it. But she's definitely giving me the impression that she's beginning to wind things down. She's basically saying: "I've done a lot of work here. I might be getting ready to clock out." 😂💜 And I'm listening. ──────────────────────── 🌱 The Final Stage Is Starting to Show One of the things I enjoy about growing is that plants don't always need to tell you exactly what's happening. Sometimes they simply show you. The overall appearance changes. The foliage begins to fade. The flowers look increasingly mature. The plant's energy seems to shift. And eventually you start seeing a very different version of the plant compared with the one you met earlier in the run. That's what I'm beginning to see here. Purple CousKush isn't looking unhealthy. She's looking like a flowering plant approaching the later part of her journey. There's a difference. And it's an important one. So for now... we observe. We don't panic. We don't start making unnecessary changes just because the leaves are changing colour. We simply acknowledge what the plant is showing us. And this girl is showing us: "Final chapter may be coming." 💜🌸 ──────────────────────── 💧 Nutrition — We May Be Getting Close The room is still following the same nutritional strategy. The current program remains: 🌸 Plagron Terra Bloom — 2.3 ml/L 🌱 Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L ✨ Plagron Green Sensation — 1 ml/L 🍯 Plagron Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L ⚗️ pH adjustment as required Current solution strength: ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm But... because Purple CousKush is already showing signs of entering this later stage, I'm starting to think about the next step. I may begin reducing the nutritional intensity next week. Possibly for her. Possibly across the room, depending on how the other girls are progressing. I'm not making that decision yet. And that's intentional. We're watching the plants first. Then we'll decide. That's one of the nice things about having twelve individual diaries. Each phenotype can tell us something slightly different. And Purple CousKush is definitely starting to tell us something. ──────────────────────── 💡 Still Under the Same Sun The lighting environment remains the same. The Future of Grow Black Series LEDs continue providing the main overhead lighting, with the additional fixtures now part of the upgraded lighting setup. We've already adjusted the output to approximately 59% from the plug after adding the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures. We're working around: ☀️ ~1,500 PPFD across the upper canopy with intensity naturally changing according to plant height and position. And Purple CousKush continues making absolutely beautiful use of those photons. She's not suddenly changing her architecture. She's not trying to stretch. She's simply continuing to finish what she started. And under that lighting... the frost is looking spectacular. ❄️💜✨ A huge thank you again to Future of Grow for supplying the additional fixtures for us to test during this adventure. Having the additional lighting capacity has been a really interesting part of this experiment. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Same Room. Same Conditions. Different Ending Signals. This is another part of the 8×8 Adventure that I find fascinating. The room is the same. The general environment is the same. The lighting is the same. The nutrition is the same. The irrigation philosophy is the same. And yet... the plants don't necessarily reach the same stage at the same time. Purple CousKush is showing us signs that she's beginning to wind down. Another plant might still be charging ahead. Another might be somewhere comfortably in between. And that's exactly what we wanted to see. The environment gives them the opportunity. The genetics and individual plants tell us how they use it. Purple CousKush Pheno A is apparently saying: "I've got my flowers. I've got my frost. I've had my fun. Maybe it's almost time." 😂💜 ──────────────────────── ✂️ And Still... Nothing Major to Do At this point, there really isn't much for me to do physically. And that's okay. The structure is established. The flowers are formed. The plant is progressing. The fading has begun. So we're not going to start inventing work. No unnecessary defoliation. No dramatic reshaping. No last-minute gymnastics. 😂 She's doing what she needs to do. Our job now is mostly observation and maintaining consistency. Sometimes the best grow diary update is: "I didn't touch her. She looked amazing. Next." 😂💜 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Week 11 Conditions The overall room conditions remain consistent with the latest 8×8 setup: 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 💡 Future of Grow Black Series LEDs: upgraded setup 💡 Approx. power after adjustment: ~59% from the plug ☀️ Upper-canopy PPFD: ~1,500 🌡️ Day temperature: ~26.5°C 🌙 Night temperature: ~26°C 💧 Relative humidity: ~61% ⚗️ pH: ~6.02 ⚡ EC: ~2.14 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: ~25°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: ~25°C 🌬️ CO₂: ~693 ppm 🌱 Pot size: 15 L 💦 Irrigation: ~1.45 L per plant / 24h Same room. Same environment. Same lighting evolution. Same nutritional evolution. And a plant beginning to show her own timing. ──────────────────────── 🔬 This Is Why Individual Diaries Matter If you only looked at the entire room, you might simply say: "Week 11. They're flowering." But when you follow each phenotype individually... you see much more. Purple CousKush Pheno A is telling a different story. She's a glamorous, medium-sized plant. Beautifully structured. Extremely frosty. And now beginning to fade. That's information. That's part of the experiment. And that's why I love documenting these girls individually. Because the room gives us the broad picture... but each plant gives us the details. And Purple CousKush has some very beautiful details. ──────────────────────── 📸 This Girl Was Made for Macro Honestly... the frost alone makes her worth putting in front of the camera. 😂📸❄️ The full-plant photographs show the architecture. The closer shots show the flowers. And the macro photographs? That's where she really starts showing off. The resin. The trichomes. The textures. The little details that you simply cannot appreciate from across the room. Purple CousKush Pheno A is one of those plants where the camera keeps making me stop and look. And every time I zoom in... there's another layer. Another sparkling surface. Another beautiful little structure. Another reminder of just how incredible flowering plants can be. ──────────────────────── 💜 A Glamorous Girl Approaching Her Goodbye There's something slightly bittersweet about this stage. Because when you start noticing a plant entering her final stretch... you realize the journey you've been following for weeks is eventually going to end. We've watched her grow. We've watched her develop. We've watched the flowers appear. We've watched the frost build. We've watched her become what she is now. And now... we may be approaching the final chapter. But we're not rushing it. Absolutely not. We'll let her tell us when she's ready. For now, she's still shining. Still beautiful. Still absolutely covered in frost. And still giving us plenty to enjoy. 💜❄️✨ ──────────────────────── 🔭 Looking Ahead So what happens next? Honestly... we'll see. 😂 I'm keeping an eye on the fading. I'm watching the flowers. I'm watching the overall maturity. And I'm considering whether next week will be the moment to begin reducing the nutritional input for her, or whether the room as a whole will be ready for that transition. No rush. No forced schedule. No arbitrary finish line. The plants will tell us. And Purple CousKush is already starting to speak. She's saying: "I'm getting close." So we'll listen. ──────────────────────── ✨ Final Thoughts — Let This Glamorous Girl Shine Week 11. And Purple CousKush Pheno A is still absolutely beautiful. Honestly... she doesn't need a complicated report this week. She's a glamour of a plant. 💜✨ She's frosty beyond reason. She's beautifully structured. She's progressing. She's beginning to fade. And she's potentially entering the final stage of her journey. That's really the story. The room is in auto mode. The plants are doing their thing. We're not forcing anything. We're not constantly touching them. We're simply watching them mature. And this girl? She's starting to show us that she may be getting ready for her final chapter. Maybe next week we'll see more. Maybe the fading will progress. Maybe she'll tell us even more clearly that she's ready. We'll see. But for now... I'm just enjoying her. Looking at her flowers. Looking at that ridiculous frost. Taking photographs. And thinking: "Damn... you're beautiful." 😂💜❄️ That's Purple CousKush Pheno A. No drama. No complaints. Just a glamorous girl doing exactly what she wants to do. And now... possibly getting ready to say goodbye. But not quite yet. There's still a little more story to write. So let's give her the spotlight. Let's let her shine. Let's appreciate this beautiful phenotype for exactly what she is. Frosty. Elegant. Beautiful. And possibly entering the final stretch. 💜🌸❄️✨ Keep shining, Purple CousKush. You've earned every bit of that spotlight. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the space to document this 8×8 Adventure and follow these individual phenotypes through every stage of their journey. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Purple CousKush genetics behind this beautiful girl. 💜🌸 Thank you to Plagron for supporting the nutritional side of the adventure. Thank you to Future of Grow for the Black Series lighting and for supplying the additional fixtures we're now testing in the room. 💡🙏 Thank you to Lumiflora for adding another lighting dimension deeper into the canopy. Thank you to TrolMaster for helping keep the environment under control behind the scenes. And of course... thank you to everyone following along. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every photograph. Every week. It all becomes part of the story. And Purple CousKush Pheno A has given us a beautiful one. From her early development... to her balanced structure... to her glamorous flowering... to this absolutely ridiculous frost... and now, perhaps, the beginning of her final chapter. She's still shining. She's still beautiful. And she's still very much worth watching. 💜❄️🌸✨ So let's give this glamorous girl the spotlight she deserves. Let's see what she has left to show us. And let's enjoy every last bit of it. Growers Love & Happy Growing! 🌱💚💜

Looking good so far with a 10€ Amazon full spectrum light and the cheapest soil I could get from Lidl. I'm using a closet wrapped with aluminium foil as grow tent.

LSD-25 by far my favorite plant I've ever grown. It's colors are so beautiful, it's growth is exciting to watch. Fastbuds really out did themselves on this one! I love it.

This week we had an unexpected hail storm! The weather broke one of my colas-just snapped in 1/2. My husband found the broken stem and taped it back together and put wire ties around it. time will tell how my skunk plant will recover. It's a little sad:(

15/08/18 - all looking good got loads of roots piercing out the sides of the smart pot , I’m thinking of adding cannazyme soon to break up all the dead roots etc, I’m feeding them the usual tonight and 2 litres each 💧and I’m done with LST now im just gonna let them start to stretch🙏🏻🙌🏻 17/08/18 - saw some weird marks on a leaf or two this morning and then later on it look like the pic above, it’s only happening on older leaves it’s not affecting any new growth, I’m out of grow questions so any help would be grear ✌️🏻 20/08/18 - just watered them with the above ☝️🏻 All looking good think I’m half way through the stretch so I’ve started to add some canna boost to the solution , probably gonna do some LST later on this week.

We finally started flowering this week, some plans changed and we did not clone this genetics, we are waiting to do a broader Pheno hunt and get the best specimen available.

This girl is going strong. No droopy leaves this time. I'm starting some LST this week as well as starting her on some Dutch Science Nutrients Grow Baby Grow. let's Groooooooooow

Auto Ultimate is an absolute BEAST!!! She’s taller than the another two by far!!! They are all flowering really well. Auto Mazar is acting weird and not sure why. She’s super droopy and dont know what to do about it. Letting them dry out more this week before their feed and see if that helps as I have a lot of purple stems so thinking these ladies don’t like watering to run off.

🌿 Amnesia Haze Auto – Pheno B | Week 4 Same Room, Same Love… Different Story. One of my favorite things about growing from seed is watching every plant write its own story. This is Amnesia Haze Auto – Pheno B, growing alongside her sister under exactly the same environment. Same tent. Same lights. Same nutrient solution. Same temperatures. Same humidity. Same grower. Yet… she’s taking her own path. While Pheno A decided to race ahead into early flowering, Pheno B is taking her time, focusing on building structure before committing her energy to reproduction. It’s one of the reasons I love documenting individual phenotypes—genetics always have something to teach us. This project is also another chapter in my ongoing 12/12 From Seed Adventure, proving that every seed expresses itself differently, even when every environmental factor remains almost identical. Sometimes nature simply decides to surprise us. ⸻ 🌱 Environment Just like her sister, Pheno B is enjoying a very stable environment. • Day Temperature: 33°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 63% • CO₂: 639 ppm • Solution Temperature: 26°C • Root Zone Temperature: 21°C • Light Schedule: 12/12 • pH: 6.1 • EC: 1.35 mS/cm Keeping the environment stable allows the plants—not environmental fluctuations—to reveal their genetic differences. ⸻ ? Different Pot, Different Pace One noticeable difference between both sisters is the container size. Unlike Pheno A, which is growing in a 15-liter pot, Pheno B is currently rooted inside an 11-liter container. Will that influence her final development? Possibly. A slightly smaller root zone can influence overall vigor and stretch, especially once flowering begins. Whether that’s the main reason she’s developing a little slower—or whether it’s simply genetics—remains to be seen. That’s exactly why I love these side-by-side comparisons. Every week adds another piece to the puzzle. ⸻ 💧 Feeding & Hand Watering Unlike many of my larger projects, this run isn’t using AutoPots. Every watering is done by hand. That allows me to inspect every plant individually, monitor moisture levels closely, and adapt watering volume to each phenotype’s needs. Current nutrient mix: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • pH Plus — as required • Lemon Kick — as required Current irrigation: 💧 Approximately 1.1 L per plant every 24 hours, adjusted according to pot weight and substrate moisture. Sometimes growing slowly simply means drinking a little less while building a stronger foundation. ⸻ 🌿 Training Training remains intentionally gentle. Only Low Stress Training (LST) is being used. The goal isn’t forcing the plant into shape—it’s helping light reach more growing tips while keeping the canopy open and even. Looking closely, Pheno B is responding beautifully. Her internodal spacing remains compact, secondary branches are catching up nicely, and the structure is developing into a very balanced little bush. She’s simply choosing to invest a bit more time in vegetative growth before flowering really takes over. ⸻ 🌼 Early Development One thing I find fascinating is how differently these sisters are behaving. Pheno A already showed obvious pre-flower development. Pheno B, however, is still mostly focused on vegetative growth. The tops are stacking new leaves quickly, side branches continue to push outward, and while the first signs of maturity are beginning to appear, she’s clearly taking a slower, steadier approach. Neither approach is better. Just different. And that’s the beauty of growing from seed. ⸻ 📷 Photography Notes Photographing these early stages is always rewarding. The fresh lime-green growth against the darker mature leaves makes every new shoot stand out beautifully. The architecture is becoming more defined every day, and documenting these subtle differences now will make the flowering comparison even more interesting later on. Sometimes the smallest changes become the biggest stories once harvest arrives. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts Pheno B may not be in a hurry… …but she’s healthy. Strong. Balanced. Growing exactly at her own pace. Every plant deserves to be judged by its own rhythm, not by the speed of the one growing beside it. That’s one of the greatest lessons this hobby keeps teaching me. I’m excited to see where this phenotype decides to take us over the coming weeks. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this adventure from the very beginning. Whether you’re here to learn, compare phenotypes, or simply enjoy watching another grow unfold, I’m grateful you’ve decided to spend a little of your time here. Special thanks toZamnesia and Plagron for the genetics, nutrients and growing media that keep this project thriving, and to everyone supporting this journey with comments, advice, encouragement, and curiosity. See you all next week. Growers Love ad let’s see what story Pheno B decides to write next. 🌱💚

Hash plant smells great. I did have root issues during grow. It did help solve the issue for future grows. Still had can nice plant. Smells great. Will try to upload a video here and will be available on my YouTube channel. The Viparspectra P4000 light worked great. The New Level Hydro buckets are very nice. Plus PEV has some great strains from ones I have tried so far. Thank you everyone It won't upload my video. It is on my YouTube channel though. I tried. Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g Www.newlevelhydro.com Www.hygrozyme.com.

Week 9.5 been really busy ,I added the light bar under the canopy to help with light penetration as well as a few rounds of defoliation ...they have been very thirsty recently so I've upped the amount of food .

Abbruch

Forgot to add a week and look how much these girls have started packing on weight a few starting to turn purple and hopefully not long up till there chopped used xpertnuiterns for the flower and it made a massive difference

. End of Week 5 (day 35): She's stretching really well, displaying a dominant stem and shorter surrounding shoots that I believe comes from the Gelato #33 genetics. I've not really done much trimming or defoliation, yet she looks almost naked. Her leaves indicate some stress, but the vigorous growth and appetite say "full steam ahead, Mister." With a sample size of one it's hard to know if she's the 1 in 5 chance Autoflower or not. I may pop the rest of the Gelato x GDP seeds out of curiosity at some point in the future, but its not a priority.

Just looking lovely 😊 smells fruity Change Sunday
