Blue Dream Extreme germinated great. I had the SE5000 at 40 percent, but increases to 60 percent after seeing them stretch. Using a New Level Hydro 5 gallon bucket. Everything is going well at the moment.

Amber trichichomes have started appearing. Moved them to a smaller box for the last few days as it's a bit cooler.

Two of the three have been cut. The first one was just a stubby little lady that had just under an ounce of dried flower. The second one was taken last night and her main cola weight 5 wet and was just covered in oily terpenes. This last one while behind the others is by FAR the frostiest and I canโ€™t wait for her to ripen. Therefore I am not calling it a harvest until the trichomes become perfect as the last one did.

Today the first lady moved into the 11 liter pot. The soil is from Canna, for the first two weeks it only gets water. The second one is still in the greenhouse as a small tip can only be seen now, so don't dare go out yet.

๐Ÿฅ’ Project Blue Tent โ€“ Week 4 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 โ€“ Pheno B (Folder 14B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒฑ For those joining the adventure for the first time, this project follows four individual plants, each grown under exactly the same conditions while being documented separately from seed to harvest. By giving every phenotype its own diary, we get to appreciate how different personalities can emerge even when genetics, lighting, nutrition, and environment remain identical. Today we're visiting Pickle Lemon Haze F1 โ€“ Plant B. โธป ๐ŸŒฑ Week Four โ€“ Trusting the Process Last week was an exciting one for this beautiful lady. After showing excellent structure and vigorous lower branching, she received her very first topping, redirecting her energy away from a single dominant leader and encouraging a wider, more balanced canopy. This week, however, wasn't about making more cuts or introducing new training techniques. Instead, it was about stepping back. After putting a plant through any high-stress training, I always like to give her time to recover naturally before asking anything else of her. Healthy plants often know exactly what to do when we simply provide the right environment and stay out of their way. Plant B proved that once again. Rather than slowing down, she responded with impressive vigour, pushing both new leaders upward while the surrounding side branches continued filling out beautifully. Sometimes the best training technique is simply patience. โธป ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Environmental Conditions Consistency remains one of the biggest goals inside Project Blue Tent. Stable environmental conditions allow the plants to recover quickly while maintaining uninterrupted vegetative growth. This week's average conditions were: โ€ข ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature: 27ยฐC โ€ข ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 25ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 68% โ€ข ๐Ÿฅฅ Root zone temperature: 24ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution: 18ยฐC โ€ข โš—๏ธ pH: 5.8 โ€ข โšก EC: 1.88 mS/cm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: approximately 450 ppm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 18/6 The combination of stable temperatures, proper irrigation, and the even light distribution from the Phytonaut LED continues creating an ideal environment for vigorous vegetative growth. โธป ๐Ÿฅฅ Feeding Adjustments Over the last couple of weeks, all four plants developed a slightly lighter shade of green. Since every plant displayed the same colour while remaining healthy and growing vigorously, it became clear that they weren't strugglingโ€”they were simply asking for a little more food as their metabolism accelerated. Rather than waiting for deficiencies to develop, I responded by increasing the base nutrients slightly. Current feeding now consists of: โ€ข Plagron Hydro A โ€” 1.8 ml/L โ€ข Plagron Hydro B โ€” 1.8 ml/L โ€ข Plagron Hydro Roots โ€” 1 ml/L By the end of the week, the results were already becoming visible. The newest growth across the room is gradually deepening in colour while maintaining the vigorous pace of development that has characterised this project from the beginning. It's always satisfying when small adjustments produce exactly the response you were hoping for. โธป ๐ŸŒฟ Pickle Lemon Haze F1 โ€“ Plant B Plant B continues proving why every phenotype deserves its own diary. Although she shares the same genetics as her sister, she's expressing herself in her own unique way. Her recovery after topping has been incredibly smooth, and the two new dominant tops have quickly established themselves. Around them, the secondary branches are climbing confidently, creating a naturally balanced and increasingly bushy structure. One of the things I enjoy most about this phenotype is how symmetrical she has become. Looking down from above, it's easy to see the canopy beginning to spread evenly in every direction, giving her the kind of architecture that should work beautifully once future training begins. Her stem continues thickening nicely, the internodal spacing remains compact, and the leaves stay upright throughout the day, showing no signs of stress following last week's topping. The lighter green colour that was present earlier is already beginning to improve following the feeding adjustment, while the constant production of fresh growth leaves no doubt that she's thriving. Healthy plants have a way of speaking without words. This one certainly looks happy. โธป ๐Ÿ” Looking Ahead With the topping now fully behind her, the next stage will simply be allowing this beautiful framework to continue developing. The goal is to let both new leaders strengthen naturally while encouraging the lower branches to catch up, creating the even canopy that will later make training and flowering far more efficient. For now, there is no need to rush. She's building exactly the kind of foundation I was hoping for, and sometimes letting the plant dictate the pace is the smartest decision a grower can make. Every day she becomes a little fuller, a little stronger, and a little more interesting. โธป ๐Ÿ’™ Thank You A huge thank you goes to Zamnesia for the incredible Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics and for providing the complete ecosystem that makes Project Blue Tent possible. Another heartfelt thank you goes to Plagron for supplying the Premium Coco Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line, helping these ladies develop strong roots and healthy growth week after week. I'd also like to thank GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to share knowledge, document their journeys, and inspire one another every single day. And finally, thank you to everyone following this project. Whether you've been here since germination, recently joined the adventure, leave comments every week, or simply enjoy watching these plants evolve, your support truly means a lot. Project Blue Tent is about learning together, celebrating every stage of the grow, and showing that every phenotype has its own story worth telling. I hope you're all having an amazing week, and I can't wait to share the next chapter with you. Until next time... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒฑ

๐Ÿ‘‘ 8ร—8 Adventure โ€“ Week 13 ๐ŸŒฟ Godfather OG โ€“ Pheno A ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐ŸŒธ The Queen Is LOUDโ€ฆ And She's Looking Better Than Ever Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of the 8ร—8 Adventure! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š Guess what? The Queen is still shining. ๐Ÿ‘‘โœจ๐ŸŒธ And honestly... WOW. This girl continues to surprise me. Godfather OG Pheno A is looking absolutely remarkable right now. The flowers are developing beautifully, the colours are changing, the plant is moving deeper into maturity, and the overall appearance of this girl is becoming something really special. And then there's the smell... ๐Ÿ˜‚ OH MY GOD. This girl is LOUD. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ I don't know yet if she's going to be the loudest plant in the entire 8ร—8. But let's just say... she's making a very strong argument. And that's quite something considering what we've already smelled in this room. She's been one of the more difficult girls throughout the journey. She hasn't always been the happiest-looking plant in the room. She's had her moments. She's had her stresses. She's made us work a little harder to understand what she was trying to tell us. But now? Look at her. Just look at her. The Queen is looking like a Queen. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š So let's give her the spotlight she deserves. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘‘ WEEK 13 โ€“ THE QUEEN KEEPS SHINING Week after week, Godfather OG Pheno A has been writing her own story. And it hasn't necessarily been the easiest story. She's had stress. She's had moments where she wasn't exactly the happiest girl in the room. She's made me question things. She's made me watch her more closely. She's made me learn. But that's exactly what makes this week so satisfying. Because despite everything... she's still here. And she's beautiful. Really beautiful. The flowers are looking increasingly mature. The colours are becoming more pronounced. The pistils are changing. The foliage is fading in places. And the overall plant is giving us that unmistakable feeling that we're moving deeper into the final chapter. She's not simply growing anymore. She's finishing. And she's doing it in her own style. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ LOOK AT THOSE COLOURS This is one of the things that really caught my attention this week. Look at the fading. Look at the colours appearing throughout the plant. Look at the transition. This is one of those moments where the photographs really tell the story. Earlier in the grow, she was carrying much more uniform green. Now we're seeing those deeper flowering-stage changes becoming more obvious. And I absolutely love it. Not because "fading = better." That's not the point. The point is that we're watching the plant change. We're watching her move through time. We're watching the transition from active flowering development toward maturity. And with Godfather OG Pheno A, that transition is becoming beautiful. She's developing her own palette. Her own colours. Her own final expression. And when you put the photographs from earlier weeks beside these... you can really see how far she's travelled. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS ARE LOOKING BEAUTIFUL And then we get to the part that really matters... the flowers. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ They're developing beautifully. The buds are becoming more substantial. The structure is becoming increasingly defined. The pistils are changing. The resin continues to catch the light. And everything is starting to look much more mature. This is the stage where you can finally start seeing the plant's personality expressed through the flowers themselves. Not just: "Here is a flowering plant." But: "This is what THIS phenotype produces." And Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us something beautiful. She's not trying to be the biggest. She's not trying to be the most perfect. She's not trying to behave like the other eleven girls. She's simply being herself. And I really like what she's becoming. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’Ž THE RESIN IS STILL GETTING MY ATTENTION Of course... I can't talk about this girl without talking about the frost. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ“ธ The closer we get... the more she gives us. The flowers are becoming increasingly decorated with resin. The sugar leaves are carrying that beautiful frosty appearance. And when you combine that with the changing colours? Oh my. ๐Ÿ‘‘โ„๏ธ๐ŸŒธ This is exactly why I love photographing these girls week after week. The full plant tells one story. The individual flower tells another. And the macro tells you something completely different again. You can see the progression. You can see the maturity. You can see the resin. You can see the colours. And you can see just how much this girl has changed. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘ƒ AND THEN THERE'S THE SMELL... Okay. We need to talk about this. Because this girl is LOUD. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ I mean... LOUD. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ Every time I get close to her, she makes her presence known. And that's saying something in a room with twelve different plants. I don't know yet if she's officially the loudest. I'm not giving her that crown just yet. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ We need to wait. We need to compare. We need to get through the harvest. We need to see what happens during drying and curing. And then, eventually... we'll really know what this girl has to say. Because aroma can evolve dramatically throughout the rest of the journey. But right now? Let's just say... Godfather OG Pheno A has entered the conversation. And she's shouting. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”Š IS SHE GOING TO BE THE LOUD ONE? This is now officially one of the questions I'm carrying into the final part of this diary. We've got twelve girls. Twelve different phenotypes. Different structures. Different flowers. Different expressions. And eventually... we'll get to compare them. Who has the most interesting aroma? Who has the strongest aroma? Who changes the most during drying? Who develops the most interesting cured profile? Who surprises us? And who... is simply fucking loud? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ Godfather OG Pheno A may have just volunteered herself for that last category. But I'm not declaring the winner yet. We'll see. And when we eventually get to the smoke reports and final reviews... that's where we can really talk about it properly. For now... I'm just enjoying the smell. A LOT. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ THE QUEEN WASN'T ALWAYS THIS HAPPY And this is something I really want to acknowledge. Because looking at her now, it would be easy to forget the journey. She hasn't exactly been the easiest plant in this room. She's had stress throughout the grow. She's had moments where she didn't look like the happiest girl. She's made me pay attention. She's made me adapt. And sometimes... she simply made me shake my head and say: "Okay, Queen. What are you doing now?" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘ But that's the beauty of growing individual phenotypes. You don't get twelve perfect copies. You get twelve personalities. Some are easy. Some are demanding. Some are fast. Some are slow. Some seem to love everything you do. Some make you work for every little bit of cooperation. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's definitely made me work for her. But now she's giving something back. And I think that's pretty damn special. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โค๏ธ THE REWARD AFTER THE STRESS This is probably what makes me happiest about this week. It's not just that she looks beautiful. It's that she looks beautiful AFTER everything. After the stress. After the difficult moments. After all the times I wondered how she was going to finish. She's still standing there. Still flowering. Still producing resin. Still developing colour. Still smelling absolutely ridiculous. And looking better than ever. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ That's a reward in itself. Sometimes the plants that give you the easiest ride aren't necessarily the ones you remember most. Sometimes... it's the difficult ones. The ones that make you learn. The ones that make you pay attention. The ones that keep you guessing. And then, at the end... they turn around and give you something beautiful. That's Godfather OG Pheno A for me. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก THE PHOTON EXPERIMENT CONTINUES The lighting setup remains unchanged. We're still running the upgraded Future of Grow environment with the two additional Black Series 600W fixtures. We're controlling their output at approximately: ๐Ÿ”Œ 59% power from the plug And the upper canopy remains around: โ˜€๏ธ ~1,500 PPFD That's a lot of photons flying around this jungle. ๐Ÿ˜‚โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒฟ But again, the interesting part isn't simply the number. It's what the different plants do with those photons. Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us another answer. She's developing. She's maturing. She's producing flowers. She's changing colour. And she's showing us her own expression. Same artificial sun. Different genetic response. That's the 8ร—8 Adventure. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โ˜€๏ธ SAME PHOTONS โ€” DIFFERENT QUEEN This is something I keep coming back to because it becomes more obvious every week. The environment is shared. The lighting is shared. The irrigation is shared. The nutrition philosophy is shared. The room is shared. But the plants don't behave the same. Godfather OG Pheno A has her own interpretation. And I love that. We're not trying to force her to behave like another phenotype. We're not trying to make her look like somebody else. We're simply providing the stage... and watching what she does on it. And right now? She's putting on one hell of a show. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โš—๏ธ NUTRITION โ€“ THE FINISH IS APPROACHING We're also continuing with the gradual nutritional transition as the room moves deeper into the flowering cycle. Terra Bloom has been reduced from the earlier level toward: ๐ŸŒฑ 2.0 ml/L with the EC now around: โšก ~2.05 mS/cm The philosophy remains the same. Gradual. Observational. No dramatic overnight changes. We're approaching the final part of the journey, so we're beginning to reduce the mineral base while continuing to watch how the plants respond. And Godfather OG Pheno A is giving us plenty of information. The flowers are developing. The colours are changing. The plant is moving. The resin is building. And now we're watching her approach the final stage. She's getting there. But we're not rushing her. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ THE PLANT GETS THE FINAL VOTE This is probably one of the biggest lessons from the entire 8ร—8 Adventure. We can have calendars. We can have feeding schedules. We can have expectations. We can have numbers. But ultimately... the plant gets the final vote. Godfather OG Pheno A is telling us: "I'm changing." "I'm maturing." "I'm getting closer." And our job is to listen. That's what I'm doing. I'm not trying to force her into a specific timeline. I'm watching. I'm photographing. I'm smelling. I'm comparing. And I'm letting her show me where she is. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ“ธ THE QUEEN DESERVES HER PORTRAITS And yes... the Queen gets her photographs again. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ‘‘ After her previous photographic privileges were restored, there is absolutely no way we're taking them away again. She's earned them. And honestly... look at her. These flowers deserve to be photographed. The colours deserve to be photographed. The resin deserves to be photographed. The fading deserves to be photographed. And the plant herself deserves the spotlight. This is what these individual diaries are about. Not just showing the final result. Showing the journey. Showing the difficult weeks. Showing the beautiful weeks. Showing the changes. Showing the personality. And Godfather OG Pheno A has certainly given us a journey. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ WEEK 13 โ€“ CURRENT ROOM CONDITIONS The 8ร—8 continues under the same general environment: ๐ŸŒธ Flowering โ€” Week 13 ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule โ€” 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Upper-canopy PPFD โ€” ~1,500 ๐Ÿ”Œ Future of Grow Black Series output โ€” ~59% from the plug ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day temperature โ€” ~26.5โ€“27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity โ€” ~60โ€“61% ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature โ€” ~25โ€“26ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient solution temperature โ€” ~25ยฐC โš—๏ธ pH โ€” approximately 6.0 โšก EC โ€” ~2.05 mS/cm ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚ โ€” ~693 ppm ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation โ€” ~1.4โ€“1.45 L/plant/24h ๐ŸŒฑ Pot size โ€” 15 L The room remains stable.

Because we're getting close enough to the end that the differences between these plants are becoming extremely obvious. Some are still very green. Some are fading. Some are moving quickly. Some are taking their time. Some are developing huge flowers. Some are developing unusual structures. Some are incredibly frosty. Some are incredibly aromatic. And Godfather OG Pheno A? She's giving us colour... resin... flowers... and one hell of a smell. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ That's her expression. That's her story. And I wouldn't change it. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ LET HER FINISH HER STORY At this point, I'm not interested in trying to turn her into something else. She's already shown us who she is. She's been stressed. She's been difficult. She's been beautiful. She's been stubborn. She's been rewarding. And now she's approaching the final chapter. So we're going to let her finish. We're going to continue observing. We're going to continue documenting. We're going to continue watching the flowers. We're going to continue watching the colour changes. We're going to continue enjoying that ridiculous aroma. And eventually... we'll harvest. Then we'll dry. Then we'll cure. And THEN... we'll really get to know this girl. Because that's when the story gets even more interesting. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ”ฎ WHAT COMES NEXT? We're getting closer. And I have to admit... I'm curious. Very curious. Because the plant is already giving us clues. Beautiful colour. Mature-looking flowers. Increasing resin. Changing pistils. And that smell... ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ But we're not going to spoil the ending. We'll let her take us there. And when we eventually reach the harvest and curing stages, we'll talk properly about the aroma. The flower structure. The final appearance. The dry weight. The cure. The smoke. The flavour. The effects. Everything. But for now... we're still in the garden. Still watching. Still learning. Still enjoying the Queen. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ โค๏ธ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ LOUD, BEAUTIFUL & STILL THE QUEEN Week 13. And Godfather OG Pheno A is still shining. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’š Honestly... I'm really, really happy with how she's looking. Look at those flowers. Look at those colours. Look at that fading. Look at the resin. Look at the plant. She's remarkable. She's amazing. And considering how much stress she's had throughout this entire grow... I'm genuinely impressed. She hasn't been the happiest plant in the room. Not by a long shot. ๐Ÿ˜‚ She's made that very clear. But maybe... just maybe... she was saving all that energy for the flowers. Because now? She's showing us something beautiful. And she's smelling absolutely insane. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ I don't know if she's going to be the loudest girl in the 8ร—8. I'm not giving her that crown yet. But she's certainly making her case. And when we finally get to the smoke reports... that's going to be a very interesting chapter. For now, though... let's just appreciate what she's becoming. The Queen has been through a lot. She's had her moments. She's tested our patience. She's made us pay attention. She's made us learn. And now she's standing there... beautiful. Frosty. Colourful. Aromatic. And completely herself. That's what I love about phenotype hunting. You don't always get the easiest plant. You don't always get the happiest plant. You don't always get the biggest plant. But sometimes... you get a plant that makes you say: "Wow." And Godfather OG Pheno A is giving me that feeling right now. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ So let's give her the spotlight. Let's celebrate her. Let's photograph her. Let's enjoy her aroma. And let's see how loud this Queen really is when the time comes. Until then... Keep shining, Queen. You've earned every bit of that crown. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ’Ž๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ™ THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for giving us these Godfather OG genetics and allowing us to explore this individual phenotype throughout the 8ร—8 Adventure. ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout this journey and providing the nutritional foundation behind these flowering girls.

She's been beautiful. And now... she's becoming absolutely remarkable. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ”ฅ And possibly... very, very loud. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘ƒ๐Ÿ’จ We'll find out. The final chapters will tell us. Until then, we're going to keep doing what we do. Observe. Document. Listen. Adjust when necessary. And let the plants show us who they really are. Godfather OG Pheno A... the Queen is still shining. And she's looking damn good doing it. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ”ฅ Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š See you next week in the 8ร—8 jungle. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ‘‘

Aug 8: Purple Ghost Candy is looking really good. She is continuing to stretch and lots of buds are forming. Had the AC Infinity UV lights out for first time today. The strength of natural UV light drops quickly this far north in mid-August. We run out of strong light before it gets too cold here. Aug 9: added third scrog net and clipped it to the twine. Kludge method but it works so well I donโ€™t know how Iโ€™d upgrade it further. Works great and provides strength and flex to the plant. Unsung heroes include malt vinegar for pH adjustment and Dr Bronners as a wetting agent. The surfactant lowers the surface tension of the water allowing it to penetrate the soil more easily. The smell also helps keeps bug away, it is claimed. Anyway, it works. Peppermint is the usual one for growers but the store was out last time and Iโ€™m currently using Lavender. Aug 11: donโ€™t take flash pics of your photoperiod plants unless you follow up with a red light. Iโ€™ve done it this way for years now with no hermies so the red light must help avoid problems somehow. And it is definitely a bloom booster and allows ripening under stronger sunlight. The 730 nm far red light is recommended for several different reasons.

well we are through the stretch and fully into the flower now. They look really nice, I hope I have enough P and K in the soil, I may need a Banana tea halfway through but only time will tell.

Empieza la semana 5. Un dia de estos, cuando tenga tiempo, pondre la malla para SCROG, espero no ir demasiado tarde. Todas las plantas se ven bastante bien excepto la mรกs pequeรฑa, que sufriรณ de quemaduras en los primeros dรญas de vida. Aun asรญ, voy a optar por dejarla crecer para ver que puede salir de ahi. Un saludo a todos y buenos humos!!

Hallo und willkommen in Blรผtewoche 6 Die Damen machen trotz allen Strapazen ihren Job sichtlich, auรŸer bei der einen Dame, da sieht man das ein Drittel nicht mehr wirklich mitarbeitet bzw. versorgt wird und hat sich somit auch qualifiziert, dass warme zu Hause ggf. eher wie die Zeltpartnerinnen zu Verlassen. In den nรคchsten Tagen wird definitiv bei der ,,Zicke,, die Teile Pflanze abgenommen, die keine Versorgung mehr genieรŸen und somit dem noch arbeitenden Teil auch die Kraft nimmt. Auch ein Vermรคnnlichen mรถchten wir Vorbeugen. Wo gehobelt wird, fallen auch spรคhne ^^ ehrlich gesagt auch nicht so verkehrt, denn falls, gibt es dann neuen Platz :-) Einfach nach staken, sobald Luft ist, grins. Ansonsten zum GieรŸen, wir gieรŸen zweimal am Tag und jede trinkt etwa gesamt 1,8 Liter innerhalb 24 Stunden. Da die Nรคhrstoffe gut verarbeitet werden, erhalten sie innerhalb 24 Std. zweimal Nรคhrung und anschlieรŸend zweimal Wasser. Es ist jetzt die Blรผtenwoche 6 wo wir auch mit P/K 13-14 ausklingen werden. Gegeben, falls werden wir groรŸe Blรคtter kurz vor der 7ten Blรผtewoche entfernen, da die Blรผteperiode mit 8- 9 Wochen angegeben ist. Temperaturen, im Moment zum Glรผck hat es sich etwas abgekรผhlt. Aber letzte bis Mitte dieser Woche war es selbst Nachts kaum auszuhalten. Selbst das Klimagerรคt kam an seine Grenzen. Wir werden jetzt noch ein paar Tage das kรผhle Wetter mit 600 Watt nutzen, danach werden wir Zeit und Wattzahl noch einen bisschen Reduzieren (11 Std./ 400 Watt). Die Main Colas haben eine entsprechende GrรถรŸe fรผr und kรถnnen dann entspannt Abreifen. Zum Geruch, also Hut ab, es drรผckt schon sehr intensiv in der Nase. Budstruktur: Sieht schon sehr robust aus, die Farbgebung ist in jetziger Phase wirklich faszinierend. Budaufbau geschieht noch, gleichzeitig reifen die ersten Trichome ab. Thema Trichome: Richtig frostig ist steht die Secret Source da, dennoch mit zunehmend mehr Nรคhrung bilden auch die Green Gelato immer mehr aus. Das zu dieser Woche und allen Growmies eine annehme und Erfolgreiche Woche gewรผnscht! Vielen Dank auch im Voraus an all diejenigen die unsere Updateยดs verfolgen, kommentieren oder liken ;-) VG euer Growerteam LueRoots
