As mentioned in the last entry I've repotted the Sticky Broccoli, the roots base is well established and healthy looking. The new pot is filled with the same Royal Mix Plagron Soil and pre humidfied the soil with a water and Power roots mix containing ratio of 1ml/L. Update 25/01: Added pictures after topping

Green and Growing Up Great! She's Growing into her 9th week of Flower! She's Growing in my special blend of ProMix potting mix, a 1/2 bag of Earthworm castings and 2 light handfuls of Diatomaceous Earth mixed Up well for before transplanted! Diatomaceous Earth: Diatomaceous earth is made from the fossilized remains of tiny, aquatic organisms called diatoms. Their skeletons are made of a natural substance called silica. WHAT IS DIATOMACEOUS EARTH? In a nutshell, DE comes from the fossilised remains of small marine organisms called diatoms. Over a 30 million year period, these hard-shelled algae collected on the bottom of bodies of water, eventually forming into a type of sedimentary rock. Fast forwarding, it wasn’t until around 1836 that a German peasant Peter Kasten discovered the ivory-coloured, powdery substance while drilling a well in northern Germany. Ever since, the usefulness of DE for multiple purposes, including industrial and horticultural applications, has been well-reported. Just sprinkle some diatomaceous earth on top of your soil and watch mother nature's secret weapon work its magic.CONDITIONS THE SOIL When it comes to growing cannabis, everyone strives to provide the best soil to grow the best plants—but there’s always a way to make it even better. Making the soil a better medium is called soil conditioning, which is exactly what diatomaceous earth does. It works by improving the retention of moisture in your potting soil, holding a large amount of fluid and drying at a rate that’s much slower. This natural soil additive also helps to retain nutrients and allows for better oxygenation of the substrate. NATURALLY CONTROLS PESTS DE is an all-natural, safe-to-use substance that doesn’t harm the cannabis plant with toxic chemicals. The nature of diatomaceous earth makes it useful against most types of insect infestation you might be experiencing; and unlike chemical insecticides, insects can’t develop a resistance to the effects of DE. So once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. DE is an abrasive. and when used as an insecticide, it gradually scrapes away an insect’s exoskeleton, absorbs the fluids, and dehydrates insects and other critters to eventual death. IMPROVES PLANT STABILITY When using DE in your soil, it can be especially beneficial as it frees up nutrients so that they are made available to the plants as needed. This works via the silica content of DE being absorbed into the plant tissue, which helps improve the plant’s ability to respond and receive more nutrients as DE activates. This in turn results in greater yields and better stability under small pH fluctuations! https://divineseeds.net/ https://instagram.com/divine.seeds?igshid=osxe2v7en33v https://divineseeds.net/ Thanks Again to All my Friends, Family's, Teams, Sponsors, Followers and Subscribers!!!

Week 4 was actually pretty smooth. she was showing nitrogen and potassium deficiencies because she was being terribly underfed and because i had weened her off the veg nutes WAY too soon. I found the dyna gro nutrient schedule and ive been following that. i will definitely be following the schedule much better next round as i wasnt actually aware they had a schedule out. Shes currently week 5 day 1 and shes already fat af and super trichomey.s he still got at least 2 weeks left. she might be ready by week 7 honestly tho who knows guess well see. Ive been giving her 1 gal each time of dechlorinated tap water just straight water. it has been phd to 6.6 ph. runoff tested at 6.3 ph. will probably flush one last time before continuing the bloom feed.

●Day 49, end week 7. Added bembe, Boomerang, and blackstrap molasses to the diet. Noticed some brown freckles on a handful of leaves. Hopefully the cal and mag in the molasses will help get me through another week before the big flush🤞 recalibrated my p.h. meters. On to week 8 ●Day 44 just picked up a new microscope (Wireless Digital Microscope, ROTEK 50x and1000x Microscope Magnification with HD 1080P 2MP Camera, Mini Pocket Handheld Microscope Camera with Light Compatible for iPhone Android, iPad Windows Mac) via Amazon. So, sorry for the blurry trichome pics. I'll work on it. This diary will focus primarily on Big Bud by Seedstockers for the remainder. But the agent orange will finish her journey. Pretty pleased with how things are going. Any suggestions or comments are always appreciated. Happy Gardening ✌️🌱🤙🖖

Von den Trichomen her brauch der gesamte Grow noch ca. 1 Woche. Lemon Pie hingegen ist bereits heute geerntet worden, normalerweise achte ich darauf alle gleichzeitig zu ernten, aber in diesem Fall war der Reifeunterschied zu groß. Allen Buds geht es soweit gut und wie man auf den Bildern sehen kann sind alle ordentlich eingeschneit. Dadurch das nur noch 4 Pflanzen im Zelt sind, kann ich alle rotierend umstellen, damit alle Buds gleich ausreifen. Dieser Grow wird der letzte in meinem alten Zelt sein, da einige Streben bereits gebrochen sind und das Zelt über die Jahre Löcher bekommen hat, wodurch die Geruchsfilterung praktisch nicht mehr vorhanden ist. Ich plane mir die HOMEbox Ambient Q100 zu kaufen, da ich viel gutes darüber gelesen habe und ich mein Setup besser verbauen kann. Falls jemand einen anderen Vorschlag hat, würde ich mich natürlich auch freuen. Viel Ertrag und feste Buds für euch alle!

Diese Woche gab es ein paar Probleme, sowohl Salzaufbau im Substrat sowie Stress durch zu viel Licht. Der EC im Drain lag bei 3,0 mS und der Ph bei 7,5, dadurch ist die Kaliumaufnahme blockiert. Um da dagegen zu steuern habe ich ein Mal 6l Wasser mit CalMag und Ph 5,7 gegossen, um die Salzablagerung abzubauen. Außerdem habe ich das Licht wieder auf 75% gedimmt. Salzablagerungen sind zu diesem Zeitpunkt der Blüte relativ häufig, in Coco!

Finally flipped and HOLY MOLY is it awesome to start seeing the flowers coming in for the first time on your first grow. Super delayed flip to flower and I am manually switching the lights/opening tent every day due to prioritized spending. BIG HUMIDITY PROBLEM. As I have still not hooked up an outtake fan for the tent I don't see my girls surviving past the next couple weeks so hopefully I can get that figured out. I'll open it up to 95% RH by morning and it sits around 60% even with an open tent. Other than that, I'm happy with the bud sites gained from my first ever grow. Just feeling my way through Topping, Fim, SCROG, and LST was fun a rewarding for sure. Just have to make sure they reach the finish line. TUES: Cleaned tent floor and walls with disinfectant wipes, seemed to get rid of the smell so far. Still worried about the humidity in the closed tent during the dark period. Need a duct fan hardcore before the buds start coming in. The first sight of trichs already sent me into a Powdery Mildew panic. 😱 THURS: Humidity break. Down in the 45% range and have been able to keep it in the 80s with a huge bowl of dried pasta in the tent lmao no coffee whitener or rice on hand 😒 Defoliation of light blockers and bunch ups to improve the airflow in the canopy. I'm hoping the UV lights in my LED set up are enough to keep mildew at bay and can get the dark period RH% down before buds fatten and there is risk for rot.

🥒 Project Blue Tent – Week 7 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno B (Folder 14B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If you're discovering this diary for the first time, welcome aboard! Project Blue Tent follows four individual plants, each documented in its own dedicated diary from seed all the way to harvest. Every plant shares the exact same environment, lighting, irrigation, nutrition and training strategy, allowing us to observe how each phenotype develops its own personality while keeping the growing conditions as consistent as possible. Today we're checking in with Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant B. And this week marks another important milestone. The canopy is full. The structure is ready. And we're preparing these beautiful ladies for their transition into flowering. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Seven – The Canopy Is Complete Looking across the Blue Tent this week, it's becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish the four plants from above. The SCROG has done exactly what we wanted it to do. Instead of four individual plants growing vertically, we now have one remarkably even canopy spreading across the available space. Plant B has been particularly well suited to this process. From the beginning, she's shown a natural tendency to grow outward rather than constantly trying to reach upward. Her compact structure, strong side branching and excellent response to training have allowed her to fill her section of the screen beautifully. After lowering and tightening the SCROG net, all four plants are now sitting at approximately 60 cm. At this point we're no longer trying to gain height. We're managing the surface we've created. Every branch has found its place. Every available section of the screen has been used. And now it's time to prepare that canopy for what comes next. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ SCROG – From Training to Flowering For anyone joining this diary without having followed the previous weeks, SCROG stands for Screen of Green. The purpose of the screen is to guide branches horizontally instead of allowing a few dominant tops to grow significantly taller than everything around them. As branches reach the screen, they're gently guided into neighbouring openings. This spreads the future flowering sites across a wider area and creates a much more uniform canopy. It's not about forcing the plant into an unnatural shape. It's about taking the growth the plant is already producing and distributing it more efficiently across the available space. And after several weeks of doing exactly that, the mission has essentially been completed. The screen is full. The canopy is even. Now we move into the cleanup phase. ──────────────────────── ✂️ Defoliation – Preparing the Plants for Flower This week's biggest job is defoliation. And because this technique is often misunderstood, it's worth explaining what we're actually doing. Defoliation isn't about stripping a plant of every leaf. Leaves are essential to the plant. They capture light and support photosynthesis, so removing healthy foliage without a reason isn't the objective. Instead, we're performing a deliberate canopy cleanup. After weeks of vigorous vegetative growth and SCROG training, the interior of the plants has become extremely dense. Leaves overlap. Branches cross through one another. Some areas are heavily shaded. And airflow through the middle of the canopy becomes increasingly important. So we're selectively removing foliage from areas where the density has become excessive. We're opening the interior. Creating more space between branches. Improving airflow. Improving visibility. And creating a cleaner structure for the flowering cycle. The objective isn't: "Remove as many leaves as possible." It's: "Remove what is no longer helping the structure we're trying to build." That's a very important difference. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ Why Defoliate Before the Flip? Timing is everything. A significant defoliation is a form of stress. Even when performed correctly, the plant needs some time to adjust to the loss of foliage and return to its normal growth rhythm. That's why we're doing this before flowering, rather than waiting until we're already well into the bloom cycle. Right now the plants are still running an 18/6 vegetative schedule. They have time to recover. We can perform the cleanup. We can watch how they respond. We can allow fresh growth to resume. And then we can flip the lights once the plants have settled again. I don't want to ask the plants to deal with a major cleanup at the same time they're dealing with the physiological transition into flowering. Instead, we're following a simple sequence: Build the canopy. Fill the screen. Clean the canopy. Recover. Flip. The goal is to enter flowering with healthy plants and a well-organised structure. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant B Plant B continues showing exactly the personality we've come to know throughout this project. She's balanced. She's compact. She's incredibly branchy. And she seems perfectly happy growing sideways. While Plant A has always shown a little more vertical ambition, Plant B has naturally concentrated her energy into lateral growth and secondary branching. That has made her particularly enjoyable to work with under the SCROG. Her stems have continued thickening nicely, her internodal spacing remains compact, and her foliage has developed that rich green colour we've been looking for. The recovery from topping is now nothing more than a memory. She's completely moved on from that stage and has spent the last few weeks concentrating on building the framework that will eventually support her flowering sites. Looking at her now, it's easy to see how much the plant has changed. She's no longer simply a young vegetative plant. She's become a properly structured little bush with a full section of the canopy to her name. And now we're preparing her for the next chapter. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding – Staying With What Works The nutrient recipe remains unchanged this week. Current feeding: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L Current pH: 5.8 Current EC: 1.92 mS/cm The plants continue showing excellent colour and vigorous growth, so I don't see a reason to change the recipe simply because we're approaching flowering. Sometimes consistency is the better decision. We'll see how the plants respond after defoliation, and depending on their recovery and appetite, we may increase the nutrient strength next week. For now, however, they're telling me exactly what I want to hear. Healthy colour. Strong growth. Good leaf posture. And no obvious signs that they're asking for anything different. So... Nothing changes. ──────────────────────── 💧 Drip Irrigation – Keeping the Roots Consistent The Mars Hydro automatic drip irrigation and drainage system continues to perform beautifully. Each plant is receiving approximately 1.2 litres of nutrient solution per 24 hours, delivered through the automated drip system. The slow and consistent irrigation keeps the coco supplied with fresh nutrient solution while the automatic drainage system removes the resulting runoff. This is particularly valuable in a project like this. Four plants are sharing the same environment. The same nutrient recipe. The same lighting. The same irrigation schedule. That consistency helps us keep another major variable under control. And as the plants become larger, the benefit becomes even more obvious. The irrigation system simply keeps doing its job every day. No rushing around with watering cans. No trying to remember which plant received what. Just consistent irrigation while I concentrate on observing the plants themselves. It's one of those systems that doesn't necessarily demand attention when it's working properly. And honestly... That's exactly how I like it. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment The environmental conditions have remained very stable as we approach the transition into flowering. This week's average conditions were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 28°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 65% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 18°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.92 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.2 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 8 L • 📏 Height: approximately 60 cm At this stage, stability is more important than constantly changing numbers. The plants are healthy. The canopy is full. The roots are receiving consistent irrigation. And the current nutrient strength is producing beautiful growth. So we're staying the course. ──────────────────────── 🌿 A Full Canopy Means a Different Kind of Work One of the interesting things about reaching this stage is that the work changes completely. Earlier in the grow, the challenge was getting the plants to occupy the space. Now the challenge is managing everything they've produced. When the canopy was still developing, every new branch was welcome. Now we have to start asking different questions. Does this leaf contribute enough? Is this area too crowded? Can air move through here? Is this branch getting enough light? Is this part of the plant going to benefit from remaining in the canopy? That's what good canopy management is really about. It's not simply growing as much as possible. It's deciding what growth deserves to remain part of the final structure. And Plant B has given us plenty to work with. ──────────────────────── Recovery Before Flowering Once the defoliation is complete, the most important thing we can do is give the plants time. No unnecessary additional stress. No rushing. No immediately piling another major intervention on top of the first one. The plants need time to rebalance after the cleanup. We'll watch the new growth. We'll monitor their posture and overall appearance. We'll keep the environment stable. And we'll let them recover. Once they're settled again, we'll be ready to move forward. This is why the timing of the defoliation matters so much. We're not trying to make the plants do everything at once. We're preparing them step by step. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead The next few days should be particularly interesting. The SCROG has been filled. The canopy has been cleaned. The plants now have room to breathe. And we're approaching the moment we've been working toward for weeks. The nutrient recipe will remain unchanged for now, although we may increase it once we see how the plants respond after defoliation. The irrigation continues at approximately 1.2 litres per plant per day. The environment remains stable. And most importantly... We're not rushing the flip. We'll allow the plants to recover properly first. Then, when they're ready... We flower. 🌸 ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for providing these outstanding Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics.

Started the week at 725 ppm which was stronger than I meant to. Remixed on day 38 to 650 ppm. I've been adding the ph up incorrectly. Noticed some calmag deficiency in the last day or two so I'll be upping the calmag to 15 ml. She seems to be doing well. I'm losing the battle against the smell. My whole house smells like dank.she drinks 1 gallon every 24 hours I only add ph'd water between feeds. I cant believe she grew 7 inches this week!
