End of the first week in flowering, day 50 from sprout. I gave them 30 hours of darkness before switch to flowering and set the lights at 11/13 schedule for pushing to flower and avoid excessive strech. Some of these strains can stil grow for 4-6 weeks in to flowering. Plants look good. I tie up at the net every day and i am trying to keep the buds sites and stems down . I will try to do it in week 2 too to fill almost every inch of the net (1,5x1,5 meters). I water every 5 days generally and i give them 3lt of tap water. I don't measure ph as my grow is fully organic.

Day 120. All Gorillas are choped. Now i have new worry - my bag seed Strawberry Cough went hermie aswell. So whatever it is in 10 days Control garden will be finished. Hope to take Cookies in 3 days, one ended up in really nice frosty nugs, other is a pity to look at ... Anyway both Cookies big fail , not even close to my 100g/plant target, Control garden with 3 not 8 weeks of veg will destroy them in weight and size , maybe frost is really nice on one of 5 Cookies and that is only positive side. Plus this plant is going nice violet too... I will monitor Strawberry for naners, but plans has changed, need to properly wash tent from pollen before next run and half of next is flowering outside already , another is almost ready to be poted to final spot. Water water water and patience Day 123. New day - new worry ... Today found second largest Incredible Bulls cola damaged by BudRot ... Sad story ... Now i am contemplating last two days in my head and : 1. Third time in my life i touch bud and squeeze it a bit and third time i have bud rot ... 2. While watering i hit it with watering can. So double trouble for amazingly huge bud and he is gone. I don't know why , but every time when disaster happens - my phone is flat ... Cola went straight to toilet. Took 3 buds down, but its a small part of i guess 10g grenade ... Watching for naners and budrot now ... If i see any rot , all crop is chopped same day. Have last night shift and then holidays , should monitor them better from now on ... Tough run .... Day 126. Girls are too young to chop, but i need to do it, so today is last day. After night they out, autos from green house in. All girls left is Control Garden, last 4th bean is in green house growing like rockets, but not weed ;)) RQS Cookies are disaster, 36 days younger plants outperformed them totally. I was very disappointed to have all 5 out of 5 mutated and with issues ... Happy Growing

Continued growth on day 105, as October gets closer the days get shorter and the nights a bit chillier. The plants have continued to develop beautiful trichomes and the smell is scrumptious. I still find a few caterpillars here and there though i have prevented most of them from destroying the plant. Please do not neglect to check up on the state of each bud if growing outdoors.

๐Ÿ’™ Project Blue Tent โ€“ Week 10 ๐Ÿฅ’ Pickle Lemon Haze F1 โ€“ Pheno B ๐ŸŒธ The Week Where We Let Her Shine Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒฑ And this week... I'm going to start by saying something that has become increasingly obvious while watching this project develop: These girls are incredible. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ Not because they're doing something completely different from each other. Actually... quite the opposite. They're becoming remarkably similar. Same room. Same environment. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same training philosophy. Same major interventions. And now, as we reach this stage of flowering... they almost look like copies of each other. And that is fascinating. Today we're putting the spotlight back on Pickle Lemon Haze F1 โ€“ Pheno B. And honestly? She's looking absolutely beautiful. ๐ŸŒฟ WEEK TEN โ€“ NOTHING TO FIX After the amount of work we did during the previous weeks, this week was refreshingly simple. We didn't perform another major defoliation. We didn't change the structure. We didn't move branches around. We didn't install another SCROG. We didn't start chasing the canopy. We didn't try to force anything. We simply watched. And that's because there really isn't anything screaming at us for attention. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B is approximately 145 cm tall. She's healthy. She's vigorous. She's flowering. She's supported. And she's settling beautifully into the structure we created for her. Sometimes... doing nothing is actually doing something. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ ๐ŸŒธ LOOKING AT THE RESULTS OF THE PREVIOUS WEEKS This is the part of the project I find particularly satisfying. During the previous weeks, we were constantly making decisions. The girls stretched. We ran out of vertical space. The LEDs needed to be raised. The carbon filter and extractor were moved outside the tent. The canopy became extremely dense. We performed a deep defoliation. We installed the second SCROG. We added additional airflow underneath the canopy. We adjusted the nutrition. There was a lot happening. But now? We get to watch those decisions play out. And Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B is giving us a very nice answer. She's standing there with a beautifully organized flowering structure. The branches are visible. The canopy is open. The flowers are developing. The support system is in place. The airflow is moving. And the plant looks comfortable. That's what we wanted. ๐ŸŒฟ THE DEFOILIATION IS NOW IN THE REAR-VIEW MIRROR One of the biggest things I'm watching this week is how beautifully the plant has settled after the heavy defoliation. At the time, the room looked completely different. We had an enormous amount of vegetative material. The plants had stretched aggressively. The interior of the canopy was extremely dense. So we opened everything up. Not because leaves are bad. Quite the opposite. Leaves are essential. But the structure had become so crowded that we needed to manage the density and make the flowering architecture more functional. And now... we're seeing the result. The plant has had time to recover. The remaining foliage is doing its job. The flowering sites are much easier to see. Air can move through the structure. And the entire plant feels more organized. That's the beautiful part. The intervention is finished. Now the plant gets to tell us what it thought about it. And so far? I like the answer. ๐Ÿ’ก LUMIFLORA โ€“ LIGHTING THE LOWER CANOPY The biggest new addition to the setup is still the LumiFlora under-canopy light. We're now running the **LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum fixture**, with additional emphasis toward the red portion of the spectrum. And with these girls becoming this large, it makes perfect sense to explore supplemental lighting underneath the canopy. The main Phytonaut LEDs continue providing the primary light from above. But with a plant this tall and this developed, the lower portions naturally receive less direct light. So instead of constantly removing more foliage to try to expose every single flowering site to the overhead fixtures, we're taking another approach. We're bringing supplemental light to the lower canopy. The LumiFlora is there to complement the overhead lighting. Not replace it. Not compete with it. Simply add another layer of light where the structure naturally creates more shade. And now... we watch. ๐ŸŒธ I'm particularly interested in seeing how the lower flowering areas develop over the coming weeks. That's one of the reasons I love documenting these experiments. We make a change. Then we wait for the plant to answer. ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ THE SECOND SCROG IS RIGHT WHERE WE WANT IT The second SCROG remains in place and, just like the rest of the setup, we're not touching it unnecessarily. It has already done what we wanted. The first SCROG helped us organize the vegetative canopy. The second SCROG is now there to provide additional support as flowering continues. With Pheno B reaching approximately 145 cm, she's built a substantial framework. As those flowers continue gaining weight, having that extra support available becomes increasingly useful. We're not trying to reshape her anymore. We're not trying to force branches into new positions. The structure is established. Now we support it. And then we let her do her thing. ๐Ÿฅ’๐Ÿ’™ ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ AIRFLOW โ€“ KEEPING EVERYTHING MOVING The airflow system also remains unchanged. We have airflow working through different levels of the canopy, with the additional Zamnesia clip fan underneath helping move air through the lower portion of the plant. That becomes particularly interesting now that the LumiFlora has been introduced. We're adding light underneath the canopy, so naturally we want to make sure the lower portion of the room continues to have good air movement as well. The goal isn't to create a hurricane. ๐Ÿ˜‚ It's simply to avoid stagnant pockets of air inside a very mature flowering structure. The canopy is open. The air is moving. The extraction system is outside the tent. And the room feels much more balanced than it did a few weeks ago. NUTRITION โ€“ CONSISTENCY IS KING The nutrition remains exactly where the plants are telling us they want it. We're continuing with the PLAGRON Hydro program: PLAGRON Hydro A โ€” 2.2 ml/L PLAGRON Hydro B โ€” 2.2 ml/L ๐ŸŒฑ PLAGRON Hydro Roots โ€” 1 ml/L ๐ŸŒธ PLAGRON Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L pH adjusted as required Current EC is approximately 2.49 mS/cm. And again... we aren't changing things just for the sake of changing them. The plants are happy. They're consuming. They're flowering. They're maintaining beautiful foliage. So we're staying consistent. This is something I've always enjoyed about working with plants: They tell you when they're comfortable. You just have to pay attention. Don't feed a number. Watch the plant. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿฅ’ PHENO B โ€“ LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKE HER SISTERS Here's the really fascinating part. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B is beginning to look remarkably similar to the other girls in the tent. And that's something I find genuinely interesting. These are individual plants. They're being documented separately. We're watching their individual personalities develop. And yet... under the exact same environmental conditions... they're showing an incredible amount of uniformity. The same general height. The same aggressive vegetative development. The same flowering transition. The same response to the structural work. The same need for support. The same beautiful recovery after defoliation. It's almost like looking at several versions of the same plant. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ Of course, there will still be phenotype differences. That's what we're here to discover. But right now? The uniformity is impressive. And that's making me even more curious about what happens as they mature. ๐Ÿ”ฌ SAME ENVIRONMENT โ€“ LETTING GENETICS SPEAK This is exactly why Project Blue Tent is so interesting to me. We're keeping so many variables consistent. Same tent. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same environmental conditions. Same general training. And then we watch. The more consistent the environment remains, the more interesting the individual differences become. Or, in this case... the lack of obvious differences. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The Pickle Lemon Haze F1 girls are behaving remarkably similarly. And that's giving us a very interesting picture of how these genetics are expressing themselves in this particular environment. But we're not jumping to conclusions yet. We're still early enough in the flowering development that the final differences may become much more obvious later. So... we watch. ๐ŸŒฟ THE PLANT DOESN'T NEED US TO CONSTANTLY TOUCH IT One of the biggest lessons from this stage of the grow is knowing when to step back. There is always something a grower can do. You can remove another leaf. Move another branch. Change another setting. Adjust another number. Add another product. But that doesn't mean you should. ๐Ÿ˜‚ At this point, Pheno B looks like she doesn't need another intervention. She needs stability. She needs time. She needs light. She needs nutrition. She needs airflow. And then... she needs to be left alone to do what plants do. Grow. Flower. Develop. Finish. And that's exactly what we're doing. ๐Ÿ’ก FROM OVERHEAD LIGHT TO A COMPLETE LIGHTING ENVIRONMENT The introduction of LumiFlora is also changing how I'm thinking about the lighting inside this tent. Previously, the main story was always the overhead LEDs. How high are they? How far from the canopy? How much stretch? How much vertical room? Now we've added another dimension. We're thinking about the plant in three dimensions. Light from above. Supplemental light underneath. A canopy occupying the space between. And that's particularly interesting with plants that have become this large. The LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum fixture gives us another tool to explore how supplemental lower-canopy lighting can fit into the overall system. We're not expecting miracles. We're not claiming it will automatically transform the plants. We're simply giving the lower canopy another source of light... and watching. That's what this whole project is about. Observation. Experimentation. Documentation. ๐ŸŒธ CURRENT GROW CONDITIONS ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 10 ๐Ÿ“ Height: approximately 145 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Day temperature: 27ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 27ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 61% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.0 โšก EC: approximately 2.49 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature: 24ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 24ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚: approximately 666 ppm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 8 L ๐Ÿ’ก LumiFlora Under-Canopy: 150W Full Spectrum The room is stable. The plants are stable. And that's exactly what we want right now. ๐Ÿ”ญ WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this point, the questions have changed. I'm no longer asking: "How do we control the stretch?" We've already dealt with that. I'm no longer asking: "How do we fit them into the tent?" We've created the space. I'm no longer asking: "How do we open the canopy?" We've already done that. Now I'm asking: How quickly will the flowers develop? How will the lower canopy respond to the LumiFlora? How will the second SCROG perform as the flowers gain weight? Will the Pickle Lemon Haze phenotypes continue looking this similar? And finally... what are these girls going to look like when maturity really starts showing? Those are much more exciting questions. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ ๐ŸŒธ LET THEM WORK This week is really about one thing: Let them work. We've already spent weeks building these plants. We've created the structure. We've managed the canopy. We've opened the room. We've improved airflow. We've raised the lights. We've added support. We've adjusted nutrition. We've now introduced supplemental under-canopy lighting. There isn't much more I want to manipulate right now. I want to see what the plants do with everything we've given them. And Pheno B is making that decision very easy. She's looking fantastic. ๐Ÿฅ’๐Ÿ’™ ๐ŸŒธ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THE QUIET WEEKS ARE SOMETIMES THE BEST ONES This week might not have been dramatic. There was no major training session. No emergency. No broken branch. No big room rearrangement. No massive intervention. And honestly? That's wonderful. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Because sometimes the best grow updates are the ones where you can simply stand back and say: "Look at her." And that's exactly how I feel looking at Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B. She's standing there at approximately 145 cm. She's healthy. She's vigorous. She's flowering. The canopy is open. The branches are supported. The airflow is moving. The nutrition is consistent. The overhead lighting is doing its job. And now the LumiFlora is giving the lower canopy another source of full-spectrum light. Everything we've done over the previous weeks is now becoming visible. This is the payoff phase. Not the harvest yet. Not the finish line. But the point where all those earlier decisions start becoming the plant we're looking at today. And that's incredibly satisfying. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฅ’ The most fascinating part? She looks remarkably similar to her sisters. Four girls. One room. Same environment. And somehow... they're developing like they're reading the same instruction manual. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Maybe that's the beauty of these F1 genetics. Maybe it's simply the environment. Maybe we'll see more differences later. That's exactly why we're documenting everything. We don't need to decide the story today. The plants will tell us. And Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B? She's telling us she's very happy. So we're listening. We're keeping everything stable. We're giving her the light, nutrition, support and airflow she needs. And we're stepping back. Now let's see what the future has waiting for this beautiful girl. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿฅ’๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ™ A HUGE THANK YOU A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these beautiful Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics phenotype by phenotype. Thank you to PLAGRON for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these vigorous girls throughout this incredible flowering journey. A massive thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, curved scissors and clip fans that have become such important parts of this project. Thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that keeps these girls consistently supplied throughout their very thirsty journey. And a special thank you to LumiFlora for the 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light that we're now introducing into the setup to explore supplemental lighting underneath this beautiful flowering canopy. And of course, thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document this entire adventure. Most importantly... thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. ๐Ÿ’™ This week was quiet. But sometimes quiet is exactly what you want. The plants are doing beautifully. The room is stable. The structure is established. The support is ready. The lighting is working from above and below. The nutrition is consistent. And now... we wait. Four plants. One environment. Different phenotypes. And an increasingly fascinating amount of similarity between them. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ Let's see what the future has in store. For now, Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B is exactly where I want her to be. Healthy. Happy. Supported. Flowering. And shining. ๐Ÿฅ’๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’™ Until next week... Less intervention. More observation. More flowers. And hopefully... a little more of that beautiful Pickle Lemon Haze F1 magic. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’™

She has entered her "flush" stage of low dose nutrients (as suggested by emerald harvest) and should wrap up in the next week to 10 days. Her smell is intoxicating and she is EXTREMELY sticky to the touch

Never heard of weedseedsexpress before coming to grow diaries. Saw the contest as a great opportunity to try new seeds, and I was very surprised with the outcome. 100% germination rate, super strong plants, easy to grow, when it comes to pests and plagues, also performed well... even tho one was chopped because of becoming hermie, didnโ€™t had any other issues with it. They like space to grow! And taking 2kg from 5 plants, to me, itโ€™s an absolute record! Iโ€™ll definitely wanna try now more of @weedseedsexpress and recommend you guys to try them too. Weed has been drying now for 4 days, so, pretty soon Iโ€™ll be able to add the final weight!
