Bonjour Ă  tous les padawans et les maĂźtres jedis Le LST est fini mon tronc en forme de colonne vertĂ©brale fais un tour sur lui meme (vidĂ©o jour32) cette forme me satisfait pleinement je dĂ©cide donc de retirer la majoritĂ© des fil de fer servant au LST Le pincage d'Apex offre Ă  la plante une canopĂ© homogĂšne (photo jour 32 34) Jour33 arrosage avec 2 litres d'eau ph6 Ă  laquelle j'ajoute 0.5ml de topmax biobizz (dosage trĂšs lĂ©ger pour ne pas provoquer un lock-out) cela favorisera son entrĂ©e en floraison. J'effectue une lĂ©gĂšre defolliation pour permettre une meilleure pĂ©nĂ©tration lumineuse aux apexs du bas. Quesque la defolliation ? LES CULTIVATEURS AMATEURS, PRENEZ GARDE, MAIS NE PRENEZ PAS PEUR La dĂ©foliation consiste Ă  retirer les feuilles des plants de cannabis en intĂ©rieur afin d'accroĂźtre le rendementfinal. Le cultivateur amateur doit faire preuve de vigilance lorsqu'il commence Ă  appliquer cette technique de taille. MalgrĂ© le dĂ©bat sans fin entre ceux qui prĂŽnent cette technique et ceux qui la dĂ©nigre, il n'y aucune raison pour qu'un amateur ne s'y essaie pas afin de voir si ça lui convient ou non. COMMENT DÉFOLIER Que vous tailliez les feuilles ou les branches des plants de cannabis, il vaut mieux utiliser un sĂ©cateur stĂ©rile qui est confortable en main. Arracher des feuilles Ă  la main manque de finesse et engendre souvent par accident, l'arrachement des couches d'une tige en plus de la feuille. L'objectif principal de la dĂ©foliation est de permettre une meilleure pĂ©nĂ©tration de la lumiĂšre et de promouvoir la production de plus grosses tĂȘtes. Les feuilles Ă©ventails qui font de l'ombre doivent ĂȘtre retirĂ©es. Tailler la tige principale et/ou les pousses secondaires n'est pas de la dĂ©foliation. La rĂšgle d'or lorsque vous donnez Ă  vos plantes un rafraĂźchissement est de commencer avec les feuilles nourriciĂšres les plus grandes et les plus larges, en taillant du bas vers le haut. Il est important de retirer les feuilles stratĂ©giquement et non pas au hasard. Pensez Ă©galement qu'il vous faut limiter votre rafraĂźchissement Ă  approximativement 10 Ă  20 % des feuilles totales de votre pied. Il est trĂšs facile de s'emporter durant la taille et de se retrouver avec des plantes chauves. Un excĂšs de taille de feuilles empĂȘchera la photosynthĂšse et paralysera vos plants. QUAND FAUT-IL DÉFOLIER Il est assez rare d'appliquer la dĂ©foliation comme seule technique pour obtenir un fort rendement. La taille des feuilles est gĂ©nĂ©ralement associĂ©e Ă  d'autres mĂ©thodes de tailles et de palissage pour un meilleur rendement telles que le topping ou Ă©tĂȘtage, le FIMming, le LST, le manifolding, le supercropping et le ScrOG. Les cultivateurs utilisant la mĂ©thode ScrOG auront besoin de retirer toutes les croissances infĂ©rieures ainsi que les feuilles et les tiges se trouvant sous le filet. Les plants de cannabis peuvent ĂȘtre dĂ©foliĂ©s dĂšs lors qu'ils sont passĂ©s de la phase de plantule vers la phase de croissance vĂ©gĂ©tative. Cependant, il est recommandĂ© aux cultivateurs amateurs de laisser aux plantes 1 Ă  2 semaines de croissance vĂ©gĂ©tative avant de s'attaquer Ă  la dĂ©foliation de celles-ci. De plus, certaines variĂ©tĂ©s sont plus sensibles Ă  la taille que d'autres et de ce fait, seront plus stressĂ©es par la taille des feuilles. Surveillez minutieusement le comportement de vos plants aprĂšs la taille. Une pĂ©riode de convalescence de minimum 3 Ă  7 jours avant de recommencer la dĂ©foliation est fortement recommandĂ©e pour Ă©viter trop de stress aux plants. Les cultivateurs peuvent Ă©galement dĂ©folier pendant la phase de floraison, ce qui permettra Ă  l'Ă©nergie de la plante d'ĂȘtre concentrĂ©e vers la production de tĂȘtes tout en limitant l'ombre et l'excĂšs d'humiditĂ©. NĂ©anmoins, il est important de ne pas dĂ©folier trop tard sous peine de simplement blesser ses plants inutilement. LES AVANTAGES DE LA DÉFOLIATION Évidemment, l'avantage numĂ©ro un de la dĂ©foliation, c'est l'augmentation du potentiel de rendement de cette technique de taille pour tous types de cannabis allant de la photopĂ©riode aux variĂ©tĂ©s autofloraison. Ce n'est pas un secret que les fleurs qui reçoivent plus de lumiĂšres deviennent plus grandes et larges que celles dissimulĂ©es dans l'ombre des feuilles. De plus, retirer les feuilles intĂ©rieures des plants touffus aide Ă  prĂ©venir toutes menaces de moisissure. Les plants trĂšs feuillus avec un feuillage intĂ©rieur dense produiront une quantitĂ© importante de tĂȘtes pop-corn. Dans le pire des cas, les branches de tĂȘtes et les tĂȘtes qui sont denses succomberont au pourrissement. Si vous observez des gouttes d'eau se former sur la surface des feuilles, il est grand temps de penser Ă  faire de la dĂ©foliation. LibĂ©rer la zone infĂ©rieure et mĂ©diane des feuilles est un excellent moyen d'amĂ©liorer la circulation de l'air. LES DÉSAVANTAGES DE LA DÉFOLIATION Les plants de cannabis en intĂ©rieur bĂ©nĂ©ficient de la dĂ©foliation pour deux raisons. La premiĂšre est parce qu'ils reçoivent la lumiĂšre d'une source stationnaire au-dessus d'eux, et la deuxiĂšme est parce que les conditions environnementales sont contrĂŽlĂ©es par le cultivateur et non MĂšre Nature. Les plants d'extĂ©rieurs eux, n'y gagnent pas beaucoup, car les cas Ă©chĂ©ants se vĂ©rifient pour eux. Le soleil traverse le ciel, illuminant sur sa route, diffĂ©rentes portions de la plante de son lever Ă  son coucher. Les cultivateurs en extĂ©rieur n'ont pas besoin de manipuler les plantes afin qu'elles se dĂ©veloppent en adoptant une structure plate puisque le soleil est infiniment plus puissant que n'importe quelle lampe de culture et qui plus est, il est toujours en mouvement. Tailler les feuilles des plants extĂ©rieurs les rend Ă©galement plus vulnĂ©rables aux conditions humides et brise leurs barriĂšres naturelles contres les nuisibles. De nombreux cultivateurs d'intĂ©rieur peuvent, et malheureusement, c'est souvent le cas, rĂ©duire le rendement final Ă  cause d'une dĂ©foliation faite au mauvais moment et/ou excessive. Tailler les plantules n'est pas conseillĂ© et engendre souvent des plants nains. Scalper les plants matures est encore pire, et au lieu d'obtenir de longues branches de tĂȘtes, vous obtiendrez probablement encore moins de fleurs. De mĂȘme, tailler des plants malades ou en mauvaise santĂ© Ă  n'importe quelle pĂ©riode de la croissance risque de paralyser la croissance plutĂŽt que d'encourager la formation de fleurs denses. Que la force soit avec vous đŸ’Ș

💜 Week 5 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno A) Every Plant Has Its Own Rhythm One of my favourite parts of growing from seed is watching each plant develop its own personality. This Purple CousKush has shared the exact same environment, feeding schedule, lighting, and care as the rest of the project since day one. She germinated under the same conditions, transitioned into the same 12/12 flowering schedule from seed, and has been treated exactly the same throughout her journey. Yet, despite identical conditions, she’s chosen her own pace. While several of her roommates rushed head-first into flowering, this young lady has taken a more measured approach, focusing first on building a solid structure before fully committing her energy to bloom. And honestly
 I’m perfectly happy to let her tell her story. âž» đŸŒ± Plant Development This week she continued her steady transition into flower. Standing at approximately 66 cm, she has developed an elegant, open structure with excellent internodal spacing and strong vertical growth. Rather than producing large clusters of pistils all at once, she is introducing flowers gradually across every branch, giving the impression that she’s carefully preparing her framework before beginning the real work of stacking buds. The LST performed during the previous weeks continues to pay dividends, allowing multiple flowering sites to receive excellent light exposure while maintaining a balanced canopy. Her stems have thickened nicely, the branching remains symmetrical, and every day she seems just a little more confident. Some plants explode. Others simply keep making quiet, consistent progress. This Purple CousKush definitely belongs in the second category. âž» 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions Like the rest of the Project Blue Tent, environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week. * 12/12 lighting schedule from seed * Future of Grow Black Series LED delivering approximately 850 PPFD * Mammoth Pro tent with excellent airflow * Day temperature around 31°C * Relative humidity averaging 72% * CO₂ around 639 ppm Even under these warm summer conditions, she has remained healthy, vibrant and stress-free, showing no signs of environmental discomfort. Although she hasn’t advanced into flowering quite as quickly as some of the other phenotypes, her overall health leaves absolutely no reason for concern. She’s simply moving at her own rhythm. âž» 💧 Feeding Program Unlike several other plants in the room, this Purple CousKush is also being hand-watered and is not connected to the AutoPot system. Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container, she received approximately 0.9 litres of nutrient solution per watering. This week’s feeding consisted of: ‱ Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L ‱ Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L ‱ Pure Zym – 1 ml/L ‱ Power Roots – 1 ml/L ‱ Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L ‱ Power Buds – 1 ml/L The feeding program continues to provide everything she needs. Her foliage remains a healthy deep green, new growth is vigorous, and the root zone appears to be supporting strong, uninterrupted development. At this stage there is no reason to change something that is clearly working. âž» 🌾 Phenotype Notes This phenotype is another wonderful reminder that growing is never about comparing one plant against another. It would be easy to look across the room and notice that several plants have already pushed further into flowering. But that’s not the point. Every seed carries its own expression. Some begin flowering earlier. Some stretch more aggressively. Some invest additional time building structure before stacking flowers. This Purple CousKush seems determined to build patiently before asking for the spotlight, and I have complete confidence in allowing her to follow that path naturally. Growing isn’t a race. Harvest day eventually arrives for everyone. âž» 🔍 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should be very exciting. Now that flowering has clearly begun, I expect to see the stretch gradually slow while the energy shifts toward developing larger flower clusters across every branch. Her open structure should provide excellent airflow and light penetration as the buds begin to bulk up, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this phenotype expresses the beautiful colours and aromas Purple CousKush is known for later in bloom. Until then, the plan remains wonderfully simple: Stay patient. Stay consistent. Let her do what nature intended. âž» 💭 Final Thoughts Not every plant needs to be the fastest to become memorable. This Purple CousKush reminds me that one of the greatest lessons gardening teaches us is patience. We can create the ideal environment, provide balanced nutrition and careful training, but ultimately each plant decides the pace of its own journey. Right now she looks healthy, balanced and full of potential, and that’s more than enough for me. The flowers will come. The stacking will come. The weight will come. For now, I’m simply enjoying watching her become exactly the plant she wants to be. âž» 🙏 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following along with this adventure. Your comments, encouragement, questions and shared experiences make these diaries far more enjoyable than if I were growing alone. A special thank you to all of the incredible companies helping make this project possible: 💜 Zamnesia for the genetics. 💜 Plagron for the nutrition. 💜 Future of Grow for the amazing lighting. 💜 TrolMaster for helping keep everything under control. And finally, thank you, the GrowDiaries community. Whether you’ve been here since the very beginning or you’ve only just joined this journey, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment, every like and every bit of support. Until next week
 Growers Love and happy growing! đŸŒ±đŸ’š

June 14: this Sunday Punch EV is a very fast growing plant that can handle some cool weather. The ruderalis genetics from the autoflower used to create this fast flowering (Early Version) add some toughness that make it well suited to short season areas. Likes to stretch too. 😎 it was to be a 16 cola manifold but it has grown so fast i realized I can also match another 8 colas from the next lower node. So i did that final round of topping this morning and we’ll see how it goes. Added second layer of Scrog net to stabilize it and keep the fan leaves from shading the growth tips. June 15: did the weekly foliar spray with Extreme Blend this morning. Rained last couple days which cleared the air of smoke and now it’s a nice sunny Sunday.

coming along wonderful, what looks like to be nearly 2ft of colas! the GG4 is now officially the same height as the SS! SS has about 20 colas, with at least 5 nodes on each cola, which means I'll have around 100 bud sites. GG4 has about 10 colas, with at least 3-5 nodes on each cola, which means I'll have around 30-50 bud sites. defol if needed

Week 10 Flower After 4 whole weeks of flush this girl has finally met the scissors ✂ It took her quite some time to fade out, but after cutting down the most faded half of the plant that was closest to the light on Day 65, and then the rest on Day 70 it was long enough. I'm very impressed with how fat and chunky this girl has become. I wasn't expecting quite this size from first look at her thinner stems and branchy structure earlier in flower, but her buds have swelled up nonetheless and she's stacked well. I always cut my girls down around half an hour (or a bit more) before the lights are due to turn on. This prevents her from starting any chlorophyll production in order to maintain the best flavour and burn. Only a few fans were taken off before being left to hang dry as she's absolutely covered in trichomes! Don't throw away your sugar trim (leaves with trichomes) as this can later be used for dry sift, which can then be pressed for some dank rosin. Harvest update coming soon! Thanks for following and happy growing! đŸș

Just watering plain water, im thinking this is the last week before harvest, im checking out the trichomes every other day to look when theyre ready. Everyday theres about 5-10 leaves which are so curled up and dried that i can just rip them loose super easily.

Having a hard time deciding when to chop her..my second critical..Milky trichomes but not a single amber on the calyxes
the buds have definitely gone through a burst..becoming thicker and dense..some buds falling over so I tied the base with string for support. This week so many white pistils have popped out and sites like reddit or roll it up are telling me some strains have white hairs up until harvest while others claim more time is needed. I think I can wait one more week but after that I’m over it!

I'm like 5 days late with this update so I have had to pin videos that I took the same week while I was communicating with TRYHARD so ignore any dialogue that's out of context they aren't diary logs they are simply correspondence between myself And TRY, oh and sorry about my language I'm common as muck me. The pictures are just random pics I took that week as oppose to my usual more organised method but hey ho I'll do a more tidy job next week. The week went swimmingly barring some nitrogen deff on the lowers which I initially put down to the hot weather drying the pots too quickly and causing nute lockout with the salt buildup so I flushed then gave them a nice feed after they dried the pot at which point I noticed the most heavily afflicted by the N deff were also the quickest drinkers and had lower EC on the runoff so I have been giving them a slightly stronger feed than the others and it seems to have solved everything so I'm happy with that. Bud development is nice, frost is nice, terps are through the roof right now..... Zkittlez ones are really stinking of lime and candy bubblegum Punch ones are stinking berry berry nice! Grandpas Crush is smelling kinda hazey right now but I'm hoping the berries comes out of her too. Little else to report really. Thanks for reading One Love 💚 Fire FarmerđŸ”„đŸ‘šâ€đŸŒŸ

The plant has become really massive and the fruity smell it gives off is perhaps one of the most pleasant I've ever smelled. The plant drinks almost 2L of water per day. I changed the fertilizers by removing those not strictly necessary for the flower's energy, in order to make the plant use the vital lymph of the leaves, which will lose them further favoring the growth of the inflorescences. At the same time I added ADV Overdrive, a magnesium, phosphate and potassium based fertilizer which stimulates the weight gain of the flowers. For the hundredth day I decided to make a video, I'm definitely satisfied! I expect to cut the plant around the 10th week of flowering.

12/15: Some plants are taking too long to transition and stretching beyond my space constraints, so I dialed the photoperiod back to 12/12. 12/16: Fed today and rotated edge plants. Added another 150w of 3000k below the canopy. 12/17: Worked on ventilation...no A/C necessary now, as I'm using another AC Infinity 6" fan to intake outdoor air into the closet whenever temps reach 75f..and it's been cold as hell outside.👍 The final trick will be to replace the 6" exhaust fan with an 8" so as to be able to fully exchange the closet air faster ...but that's gonna have to wait til next season.

She finished strong, I wanted to push her another couple days but started showing signs of necrosis in ways I wasn’t confident in letting her go longer.
