🥒 Project Blue Tent – Week 4 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno B (Folder 14B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 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 – Plant B. ⸻ 🌱 Week Four – 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. ⸻ 🌡️ 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: • 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative humidity: 68% • 🥥 Root zone temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: 18°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.88 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • 💡 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. ⸻ 🥥 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 struggling—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: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.8 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.8 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 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. ⸻ 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – 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. ⸻ 🔍 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. ⸻ 💙 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! 💚🌱

Very good buds as for me) I am really waiting for dry weight. The smell is very very nice, like black currant and a little diesel... It has been 7 days from the beginning of flowers drying. So I have 73 grams dry buds. I think it's not better results but quality of buds is perfect👌 They are very crystal and strong but very lite for smoke and unbelievable color of flower and stem: 1:I have been tasted her and ofcourse she has mostly indica effect as it was expected from the beginning)) and I'd recommend use this in the evening because you will be rest and sleep more strong than usually😉 It's not strongest indica effect I have ever tasted but it has very good quality doubtless... But you should see this buds and flower in reality : 1: Unforgettable impression!😉 I put them into the fridge on 1 month. It will make them more impressive and stronger... 000

Gran progreso

Just trying to get back to normal life after the Thomas fire. I believe I have two phenotypes of some gorilla glue lineage as the seed came from a very tasty dispensary quarter. Even though the little ugly plants look grotesque, they are loaded with bud sites. I have photos and videos and notes of the past few weeks so I will try to back annotate. Gradually ramped light down from 18 hours to 12 after power outages due to the fire, and it was about good time to flip anyway. It is so much easier to control temperature during the winter in my space. The lights keep the space at a pretty steady 74 F. I haven’t pushed PPM and am keeping Ph in the 6-6.8 range. I’m using peony rings as support and to spread a little but I am not training for a perfectly flat canopy as I had excellent popcorn nugs in my last grow even with the lights over 2x further than optimal. Defoliated the lower branches but I am not defoliating aggressively, but will continue to remove any withering leaves. Sorry for the slow updates. The fire has been pretty traumatic for my city and myself, and I’m just getting back to normal life. My home, family and pets are safe, and the fire is mostly contained. Thank you for checking out my diary. Happy holidays and I hope Santa Ja brings you a giant tree!

Semana 4/5 aprox, llenita de plagas y de resina😮‍💨

Everything is going well, i'll change water tomorrow,, i topped them a few days ago, except one, she's a bit late, so i'll add her in the tank when she'll get better root. Peace and see ya next week PS : i'll try House & Garden nutes, do you ever experience it ? Edit 26/01/2019 : - roots pictures added. 5 first pictures are from the left tank and the other are from the tank on the right ( they are a bit late compare to the other tank but it's younger cutting ) Edit 27/01/2019 : - Bondage session

(sigh) Disaster! But still we keep on growing 😅 I have uploaded a video for you guys with all the information, any questions just ask away guys 👍🏾🔥👊🏾😎

Looking lush 😜😜😜😜😜 One of these is just ridiculous, I mean ridiculously ridiculous , have a look in th3 video All I can hope is the weight pulls it apart 🤞 Friday started the dragon force on plant 1 , thee other is a week behind

the very first week. im far away checking them from wifi cam.

Crazy

Veg a 200 grams Veg b 150 grams Zerotol 50ml Silica 25ml Bleach 10ml Flex 50ml About 3 weeks in at this point, I'm kind of off on my days at the moment lol. Dropped the feed this week 1.8 EC, plants definitely don't like the full feed and I added a little flex from drip hydro. Put up the trellis net double layer and removed a lot of plant material. I mainly just keep the dominant tops personally. Excited to see if I get any difference in flower quality and production with these new nutrients, switching to bloom nutrients next week. I'm running 2 different lights and the plants do grow slightly different under each.

6 weeks of flowering She’s ready for harvest. Almost all the trichomes are milky, and some are already brownish. She smells wonderfully like fruity cream candies🤩. The buds look gorgeous. If it passes the taste test in a few weeks, I’ll grow it again next year. It stayed small, but that was due to my mistakes and the really cold weather it was exposed to at the beginning of the year.

Que Pasa familia,Tenemos cambios , 12/12 empieza lo bueno(floración), empieza a oler el cuarto a un aroma especial 😉, os voy a dejar muchos vídeos para que no tengáis ninguna queja. •primer problema y único , es la temperatura. (Max30 min28 con Luz). Llevaba varios días comiéndome la cabeza , de mientras tengo medio abierto las compuertas del indoor. Todo lo demás funciona, se las ve Sanas, veremos las próximas semanas.

Hi all, sorry for the delay, all continues to go very well, she is handling the nutrients very well wit only a very little tip burn. I increased the light a little bit, as I felt that some of the main colas on the side didn't get enough light. Next week I will probably be able to show the little veg-box I built, since the cuttings are slowly outgrowing their current home.

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cuarta semana de crecimiento de estas Tropicana poison F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío , las 3 plantas seleccionadas fueron trasplantadas a su maceta definitiva, ya superaron el shock por el trasplante, estas semanas las paremos todas a floración. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 18h de luz, el foco está al 100% de potencia. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Eternity Grow Cup - Week 11 VEG Report This is a pivotal week in our Eternity Grow Cup journey as we wrap up VEG and prepare to transition into FLOWER. Our goal has been to ensure that the plants are thriving and optimized for the next phase. This report will detail everything that took place during this crucial week. Mass Defoliation & Structural Training We began the week with an extensive defoliation session. Every leaf with a stem was removed to clear space for optimal light penetration and airflow. This process was done mostly by hand, clicking them off in the opposite direction of growth, while some stubborn ones were snipped with scissors. By the end, it felt like we had taken out nearly half a kilo of leaves! The room now looks clean, structured, and ready to fill out the ScroggNet. To further enhance the plant structure, branches were attached to the pots, allowing for better horizontal growth. This technique helps maximize canopy exposure and prepares the plants for even light distribution once flowering begins. Defoliation before flowering is a key step as it reduces overcrowding, improves airflow, and sets the plants up for efficient energy use in the next phase. Light Schedule & Adjustments This week, we introduced a subtle but effective light adjustment. While still maintaining an 18-hour light cycle, we initiated a 15-minute delay with the whites, allowing the reds to start first. This gradual shift signals the plants that a change is coming. Similarly, at the end of the light cycle, the whites turn off 15 minutes earlier, leaving the reds on for an extended period. This strategy mimics natural sunrise and sunset, helping the plants transition more smoothly into flowering. Additionally, at the end of the week, we will be implementing 48 hours of darkness before the official flip to flower. This method has worked exceptionally well in past grows, helping plants recognize the transition and encouraging a strong start to flowering. However, it's important to emphasize that this is a personal technique and not a universal rule. Every grower should experiment with different methods to find what works best for their specific environment. Environmental Conditions & Challenges Currently, our temperature is at 27°C with 60% humidity, resulting in a VPD of 1.50. While slightly higher than the ideal for VEG, our CO2 levels are over 1000 ppm, and the light intensity is at 570 PPFD, making it a manageable balance. The solution pH is 5.79 (essentially 5.8), EC is 1.38, and water temperature is 17.7°C. One challenge we are facing is maintaining optimal reservoir temperatures. Currently, it's a bit low at 17.7°C, and we are exploring solutions to raise it slightly. However, the medium temperature sits at 22.2°C, which is a good range. The humidifier is still in use, though it struggles to increase humidity further, so we are working with what we have to keep the VPD in check. ICL-300s Integration The ICL-300 lights are now fully active. Unlike the last grow, where we introduced them later, this time they are on from the start of flowering prep. This adjustment is an experiment to see if the plants respond better to an early introduction. Learning is at the core of this journey, and each grow offers new insights. Whether this proves to be the optimal strategy or not, it will be a valuable lesson for future grows. TrolMaster Hub & Data Monitoring Throughout the week, we have been closely monitoring our grow using the TrolMaster App TM+. We are displaying some of the collected data for everyone to see the details. Stay tuned as we explore this further in the next report! As always, we want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors and the amazing community. Special thanks to Aptus, Groovebags, Cannakan, Promix, Ziggy Papers, TrolMaster,and Plagron, Zamnesia and Grow Diaries for making the Eternity Cup possible. I apprecilove the support from all sides—lovers, haters, competitors, and fellow growers. The competition continues to push us to improve, and i am thrilled to see the incredible reports from others. This is a challenging yet rewarding experience, and i couldn’t be happier to be part of it. For those following along, we invite you to check out our YouTube channel, where we upload full 4K episodes showcasing the entire journey. Some episodes are too large to be uploaded directly to Grow Diaries, so YouTube is the best place to catch everything in high definition. This marks the end of VEG, and we are officially ready to flip to FLOWER. Next week, we will dive into the TrolMaster System in action, check the data insights, and monitor how the garden adapts to the shift. Stay tuned!
