Hola a todos, En esta semana 3 de floración la planta sigue engordando sus cogollos purpuras. Ha dejado de crecer para centrar su energía de producir sus flores, que presentan buenos tricomas.

🌱 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. 🌱💚

Sept 10th All going well here, just enjoying the show. What a miracle to witness this beauty double every week. Hoping for nice weather and an early but fully matured harvest

Very hot weather, girls are managing better than I thought. Cleaned up all the girls extra leaves, really needed to get some more airflow through it Cut out 2 small nugs that had a little bit of spiderweb mildew Done nutrients and done instant compost tea

Everything is going amazing, nice trichome development and the smell is amazing. I'm going to keep a close eye on the trichome and maybe after next week I'll start flushing. Thanks for the support and keep on growing!

All going well :-)

This girl is doing awesome. She has completly taken over that corner of the tent 100%. She is a funky plant you can see how her leafs just stick close to her main stem along with her branches its a weird pheno its time to flower her and see what we get!. Will give her a hair cut/ defoliation over this next week so the light can "penetrate" her more. She is getting a heavy dose of nutrients from canna and my my she has just exploded. Still keep it at 5.6-5.7 PH and about 3 L of food every 2 days for her. Released some more lady's in there just to make sure no cross contamination is going on from other flower tent. Have soaked the garage in bleach almost died!!! Don't smell bleach when u spray in container and see mist in there!!! DUH now whem I open twnt floor is soaked in bleach and make sure clothes are clean. Learn from ur mistakes and move forward in a running motion!!! Stay tuned it's gana get frostyyyy

Flowering day 59 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The lady is slowly coming to an end 😍. The buds start to swell extremely . The trichomes mature day by day. This week she was given a very light flush with Clean Fruits so that she can use up her remaining nutrients in the coming days 👍. It will be harvested in the next 6-10 days 😍. I can't wait to try them all :-) . Otherwise everything was cleaned and checked. Have fun and stay healthy 💚🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.exoticseed.eu/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

Week started off well. Day 50 and no major hiccups. Lets get to that finish line soon! Day 51 - Everyone is healthy and great. CDLC is really putting on the weight now. All five of them are stellar. MB #1 stopped stretching and her nugs are starting to swell. She is one fast lady. The other Miracle Berry Remix looks like it will stretch some more and so does the Mango Smile. Strawberry and CDLC have a ways to go but they are blowing up. I am feeding everyone every day at least 2 liters of the above mixture. Depending on coloration (light green to dark green) I will change the nitrogen content. These things are eating phosphorous up like candy. I have experienced NO nutrition burn. All of my issues thus far have been underfeeding due to PH issues. I have a theory that I want to feed them as much as possible regardless of feed schedule and fear of nutrition burn. Ensuring a healthy root system with proper PH and monitoring Potassium in your watering should give the best results. I am finding that the only nutrient that cause the physical representation of nutrition burn (burned tips) is too much Potassium. I think I stated it before but Nitrogen toxicity doesn't burn tips and Phosphorous is really difficult to overdose your plant with. Pinpointing this is extremely important I feel. Are there any other growers who find this to be true? Day 53 - Everyone is great. Notable things from today...Mango Smile is sad cuz I gave her a hair cut and Strawberry Nuggets revealed a massive nitrogen deficiency after I gave her a hair cut. I switched to bloom nutrients too early on her. Upped her nitrogen PPM for today's feeding and hoping I didn't stunt her too badly. Lot's of node sites though. Day 54 - Mango Smile was just being a diva. Today her entire canopy was an inch higher...and she shows no signs of swelling yet. She's gonna end up going over 90 days for sure. My Maxigrow got moisture in it...so it went bad. I went out and bought some NPK Raw Grow for my Strawberry Nuggets. She is so hungry I feel bad. She is the only one I fed today. Everyone else was fine. Pistils on MB#1 are turning orange/brown. She might be ready at day 70. MB#2 will be right behind her. They are quite fast for being so big. CDLC is looking great. Didn't take a photo today but she is getting frosty and her flower stretch is on. Humidity is a little high in tent since I added additional pots with soil in them. I turned up my light to around 80% and the humidity tanked. Temperature went up to about 81F. I think we can manage that. I'm not seeing any signs of heat stress or fox tailing. My lights are powered by two HLG-600H drivers. Theoretically, I have 1200 Watts in the tent. Just to clarify since the journal won't let me specify my wattage for the QB96s. They can go up to 250 Watts each with active cooling. Day 55 - Moved everyone in the tent around to increase airflow. Trying to keep everyone off the walls but Miracle Berry Remix 1 is taking over the tent. Probably going to have to supercrop soon. Miracle Berry 1 smells deeply of berries. No gas or funk smell. Smells like a blue raspberry slurpee.

Looking forward to the inevitable future Enjoy

9/21 No video uploads so no update 9/22 Week 10 update... finally Looks good but going to add more Phos due to some red stems showing upping to 3ml/g 9/23 Reducing Bloom nuets @10% a day for a couple, down to the 80% mark now Add Soul Peak PK to mix as well as Koolbloom need to use up the Peak and we want to see if it brings anything special. Be in flush within 7-10 days on all but the sativa FF2 Vids up 9/24 After looking at things this morning have decided to start moving the FFT9 and FFT11 to flush. Begin slowly cutting Bloom nuets tomorrow for those two so we can start flush at week's end. 9/25 Feed is changing as we move her into flush. Lower Bloom A/B to 5/5 raised Koolbloom to 5ml Peak to 5ml 9/26 Like what we see keeping nuets here till flush Vid/pic Addicted

11/21/24 Short facts: - Watered: 1 x 1.0L, 1 x 1.5L, 1 x 1.5L, 1 x 1.75L — 5.75L - VPD @ 1.4 — raised by 0.1 - Light @ 80% ~700 to 1050 PPFD - BioBizz Bio-Bloom increased to 3ml/L - BioBizz Bio-Grow increased to 3ml/L - Getting colder! At night between 18 to 19°C --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There isn’t much to report this week. She’s doing fine, but she might need a little more CalMag and nitrogen. So I’m giving her some extra CalMag and a small amount of bonemeal. Since the weather is getting quite cold for the region - and we’ve already had a bit of snow - the cellar where my grow tent is set up is cooling down, with nighttime temperatures dropping to 18–19°C. Therefore, I’ve ordered some heat mats, which should arrive tomorrow. I’m aiming to stabilize the root temperature at around 22°C consistently, so the nights won’t be too cold anymore. I’ll go into more detail in next week’s update.

NOTE 1: Afgooey Auto pheno #3 turns out it's a MALE. Resembled nothing like her two sisters ran at the same time. In fact, I had to move her to the 12/12 tent to initiate flowering. Little did I know or expect She would be a He. Lola by the Kinks is rattling round my brain about now ;) FEEL FREE TO HIT THE LIKE BUTTON IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE ;) 2x4 French Macaron - at the time of this posting, FM is heading into week 8 flower. Second extensive flushing w/fresh rain water due to acidic conditions (ph >5). Been struggling with ph the entire flowering. I speculate ph issues due to over feeding. Ph is roughly 5.8 to 6.0 after flushing. At this point, flushing with plain RO water until harvest. NOTE 2: I've introduced two 5 gallon bubble buckets into the 2x4 grow tent. Both buckets have medium air stones running from a 125 gph air pump. Given French Macaron isn't scheduled for harvest until mid-January, I might not have cutting ready. First grow may have to be from seed. Update later. 3x3 Afgooey Autos and clones from previous grow - Afgooey #1 and #2 are firing on all cylinders. #2 running a bit acidic (>5), so flushed back to neutral with roughly 7-8 gallons of fresh rain water ph at 7.0 to 7.2. Same with clones (i.e., ph very low). Flushed with fresh rain water too. A couple days later plants look so much better. Wait till plants nearly dry before next watering. Trimmed and cleaned up three of the clones growing weird. Felt a bit like trimming a bonzai tree. Let's see how they respond.

Declared by the breeder for another 2 weeks. Let's see, plants began to drink much less. The leaves started to burn. In general, everything is fine. Meals according to the table removed heaven.

The focus is just on the red phenos. Although the green version smoke and smell great too. It was the Reds For me.
