My best work (or lack of work) to date. Just letting her grow was a very good method. Beautiful buds are throughout the plant. Trichomes are all clear so probably another 2 weeks.

Switching to Flo !!! Adding Bio Boost 250 W to 400 W

Both outdoor autos settled firmly into early-to-mid flower this week. Nice Cream Auto showed steady bud development with tightly stacking colas and strong lateral structure, holding a healthy green canopy and giving off the first creamy berry aroma. Tiger #2 Auto remained more compact but equally vigorous, pushing dense flower sites and releasing a sweet grape-diesel scent. Trichomes began appearing on sugar leaves across both plants, mostly clear but multiplying daily. The 5-gallon Nice Cream retained moisture longer while Tiger #2 dried faster under afternoon heat, prompting slight watering adjustments. By the end of the week, both plants were thriving under the warm SoCal sun, entering the stacking phase that will define mid-flower in Week 9.

Looking good!

The plants still seem to be doing ok. I notice that the pistil hairs are starting to turn brown. I'm getting closer to the harvest stage which Is exciting. If anyone can give me advice I surely would appreciate it.

Week 5 starts for mandarin dreams and divine storm. All four ladies look happy and they all grew 1-2 inches during week 4, hopefully they grow the same amount this week. Thanks for stopping by, tune in next week! 👽🌳🔥

🌱 Week 3 | Purple Haze Photo | Folder 6B | A Different Personality Emerges Although Purple Haze 6B shares the same genetics, environment, nutrition, and cultivation method as her sister, she is already beginning to express her own unique growth pattern. This is precisely why each phenotype in Project Blue receives its own individual diary. Every plant has a story worth documenting, and comparing them side by side allows us to appreciate the subtle differences that make growing from seed such an exciting experience. Like every plant in this project, Purple Haze 6B is being cultivated using the 12/12 From Seed technique. From germination onward, the plants receive a flowering photoperiod, encouraging compact growth while allowing each phenotype to naturally develop its own architecture before flowering fully takes over. It’s an unconventional approach, but one that consistently produces healthy, manageable plants while showcasing each phenotype’s individuality. During this third week the plant settled comfortably into her new container and responded with a noticeable burst of vegetative growth. Looking back at the first photographs and comparing them to the final images of the week, the improvement is impressive. The canopy has expanded considerably, secondary branches are becoming increasingly active, and the plant is building the framework that will eventually support her flowers. Growing Environment As with every diary in this project, environmental stability remains one of the highest priorities. Throughout the week the conditions remained consistent: * Temperature: 27°C (lights on) * Night Temperature: 25°C * Relative Humidity: 55% * Root Zone Temperature: 21°C * Nutrient Solution Temperature: 20°C * pH: 6.0 * EC: 1.3 * CO₂: approximately 666 ppm * Photoperiod: 12 Hours On / 12 Hours Off * Average PPFD: 600–700 Keeping these parameters stable allows the plants to focus their energy on producing healthy roots, vigorous stems, and continuous vegetative growth rather than constantly adapting to environmental changes. Feeding Program Purple Haze 6B continues receiving the complete Plagron Terra feeding schedule: * Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L * Power Roots — 1 ml/L * Pure Zym — 1 ml/L * Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L At this stage I’m not chasing explosive growth. My objective is to establish an exceptionally healthy root system, maintain balanced nutrition, and encourage strong structural development before flowering begins in earnest. Healthy foundations almost always produce healthier harvests. A Bushier Growth Pattern One characteristic that immediately stands out in this phenotype is her naturally bushy structure. Rather than stretching vertically, she appears determined to produce numerous secondary shoots from every node. The lateral branches are developing rapidly and are already beginning to compete with the main stem for dominance, creating what should become a beautifully even canopy in the weeks ahead. The fan leaves remain broad and healthy, showing excellent turgor with a rich green colour that suggests the feeding program is well balanced. New growth emerges bright green before gradually darkening as each leaf matures—a normal sign of vigorous development. The stem is thickening steadily and every new internode is adding more potential flowering sites. Gentle Canopy Management As with the rest of the Project Blue plants, no aggressive training has been necessary. Instead, I’ve continued using simple leaf tucking throughout the week. Rather than removing healthy foliage, I gently reposition the larger fan leaves beneath neighboring branches, allowing more light to reach the developing side shoots hidden below. This simple technique offers several advantages: * Improves light penetration. * Encourages stronger lateral branch development. * Maintains maximum photosynthetic capacity. * Eliminates unnecessary recovery time associated with defoliation. At this stage every healthy fan leaf is an energy factory. My philosophy is to preserve as many of them as possible while simply helping the plant organize its own canopy. Sometimes the simplest techniques deliver the best long-term results. Looking Forward Purple Haze 6B is developing into a wonderfully compact, vigorous phenotype with excellent branching and impressive canopy density. Every day she seems to produce another layer of healthy growth, and the structure she’s building now should provide an outstanding foundation for flowering. It will be fascinating to compare her with Purple Haze 6A over the coming weeks. Although they started from the same seed line and have received identical treatment, they’re already beginning to reveal their individual personalities—one slightly more symmetrical, the other naturally bushier and eager to fill every available space. Those subtle differences are one of the greatest joys of phenotype hunting, and documenting each one separately ensures that none of those unique traits are lost along the journey. A huge thank you to Plagron, Zamnesia, GrowDiaries, and everyone following along with Project Blue. Mr. Baggy wandered through for another inspection this week and confidently declared that this young lady has absolutely no intention of growing quietly in the corner. Judging by her vigorous branching, I have a feeling he’s right. Growers Love 🌱🛍️

Este próximo día 14/06/23 entraremos en la 3º semana de crecimiento. A día 12/06/23 llevamos 28 días desde que se empezó a germinar. ya están todas trasplantadas a la macetas definitiva de 7 litros. Las he regado con roots + crecimiento + calmag + enzym. Todo de BOOM nutrients. He realizado el trasplante en 1 hora y 50 minutos en la mañana del lunes 12/06/23 en directo, en twitch.tv/xmackobox

Week 7 of flowering 10/30/24 Changed nutrients to fit week 7 Buds are getting even bigger and thicker. Last week PH drop happened again a couple of days after the major flush. PH in rootzone is getting lower every day. Runoff still at 10-20%, so no salt buldup, EC same as intake or litttle higher. Flushed again with FloraKleen and watered with TriPart Micro, Grow, Bloom with CalMag. Bought Potassium Bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate as suggested by "Aqua Man", to buffer coco in the future. (https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/ph-dropping-from-5-8-to-3-9-overnight-what-is-causing-this.87011/post-2329509) changed nutes on 11/2/24, to FinalPart at 1.3 EC. Checking runoff PH and EC daily.

Looking good;)))

We moved her to another grow tent because the other strains were harvested but now she has her own personal light and she's doing well in her new room ☺️ a little frost on the leaves started

The Dwarf has definitely strong genetics. I recommend it for newbies that don’t have a lot of money to spend on growing kits. Yet, I wish I could have grown her under better lights (75W is CLEARLY not enough). I’m sure that the yield would have been a lot bigger with great lights. But it was a great grow : this dwarf convinced me to continue ! I’ve chosen seeds with bigger yield potential for the upcoming months (Blackberry and Gorilla Glue from Fast Buds). Good luck and thanks a lot to this community. Keep growing (and destroy capitalism) 🍁000

Week 5! Starting adding Bio-Bloom and Bio-Grow from now on, she is an Auto so she needs nutrients! Besides that I'm removing Root-Juice (I'm empty and haven't gotten any time to go buy more yet, and don't wanna use my credit card to order on the net, cash is king!).

The plants start to bloom. They are pretty late and dont look really healthy but lets see how they will develop. Peace and happy grow guys :)

Que pasa familia, vamos con la sexta semana de floracion de estas Lemonpaya feminizadas de fastbuds. Vamos al lío, de las 3 plantas, me quede con 2 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros que además provocó un shock que también solucione. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. Las flores empezaron a formarse y progresan a buen ritmo. No entiendo que a sucedido , uno de los 2 ejemplares tiene un bloqueo severo de nutrientes, estoy controlando el Ph correctamente y la alimentación ración pues corte a ver si vuelve a reestructurarse. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

These have been growing kind of slowly but I got the temps up a little this week by adding some extra light and am getting vpd dialed in. These will only be in this tent for a few more days I am just starting to harvest the main tent so once that is done they will be moved to the Gorilla Grow Tent and put under the new Growlightscience LEDs so we can see how the perform full cycle. The autos will have to get moved back into this tent once I flip the main tent but the photos will prob need a few weeks of veg before that happens. Been doing foliars with the Growzyme from greenbuzz as well before lights out every other night which seems to make them happy. I think theyll take off over the next couple weeks.

I will be focusing this diary on the smoothie strain but you’ll be seeing some other plants in the tent that are not the same strain. I only have room in this tent so bare with me. There are 2 Smoothie, 1 CNC, and 1 Stardawg (dog). The smoothie are the two bigger ones in the back of the tent. Now, the Smoothie from FastBuds is just killin it right now. Since I popped the beans they have done nothing but show signs of greatness. I don’t think this one is gonna slow down much either. I’m going to push these plants harder than my last harvest. I had a really really amazing harvest last time. I was even able to pull sap out of all 4 plants. 2 Zkittles and 2 LSD-25. This was all done by feeding at the right times and keeping a “moist” soil. Also I want add that I ran pretty much the entire line of Nectar for the Gods at a little less then the recommended ratios. This time I plan on going a tiny bit over the recommended ratios just to see what these plants will do. Trust me, if the plants have a bad response I will go back to the recommended ratios. The reason I want to do this is because I really think these auto strains can handle a lot more than a regular flowering cycle plant would. They can handle more stress, that’s for sure. When do you think I should add a compost tea into my regimen? Soon or wait till the plant is a little larger?

June 21st : Figured I started off last week with a video update So i'd do the same this week. Buds are really fattening up. Making my mouth water when I stare at them. Smell is very strong when the exhaust is off and the tent open. Getting Hot around here lately 106 outside today. Trying my best to keep them cool but it seems like a losing battle. Good thing I have that co2 tank. 🙌 June 22nd : Decided to try out my Digital Microscope tonight see what I could see. WOW am I going to have fun doing Macro Shot's! This is gonna be so much fun! Nothing else done with the plants except some admiration! June 23rd : Didn't have time to get to pictures darn real life. June 24th : Watered tonight as they were showing signs of drooping from under-watering. I expected as much due to the recent 106-111F. Temps around my area lately. Hard to keep them all cool but trying my best. Everything's looking good as far as I can tell. 👌 June 25th : Tried my hand at more closeups boy was it a failure. Gotta turn off those damn fans next time *lol* 3 out of like 40 clicks were "ok". Oh well.. Another day.. June 26th : Had the breaker for the room my tent was in keep tripping after adding the t5 lights to everything that's already on the same circuit.. had to move the ac to another circuit. June 27th : Ended up bumping the timer switch on the lights to always on and ended up giving the girls 18 hours of light. 😭 Praying nothing goes hermie.. Didn't have time for pics the last two nights as I've had previous obligations.
