Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 12 - watered with 250ml of RO tap water with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. today is her first day of veg, she is growing her second set of leaves and is looking very healthy. Day 15 - watered again with 250ml of RO tap water with nutrients. pH came to 6.3 naturally 👌🏻 nothing to note today, growing strong and steady.

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 19 - I've upped her watering from 250ml to 500ml and I've started to introduce grow nutrients along with the usual nutrients; I've also started to reduce the root nutrients as we don't need that anymore. ph came to 6.2 naturally, so I left her at that 👍🏻 slight smell coming from her now, especially when you touch her leaves. She is now growing her fifth set of leaves and lower nodes have started to appear - I'd say she'll be ready for some training by the end of this week.

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 26 - Watered with 500ml of RO tap water with defined nutrients, ph came to 6.1 naturally and I don't like playing PH tennis, so I left it at that 👍🏻 she's getting big, but she's a little too compact, so I've removed her starter leaves and two of her larger fan leaves to allow more light to get to her lower nodes. She's a little too small to start any grow techniques, but I have her down for some LST later in the week.

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 32 - Watered with 1 litre of RO tap water, with defined nutrients. The ph came to 5.8, so I used pH up to get it to 6.3. I started using the LST method, by pinning down her axillary bud stems down and away from the main stem.

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 41 - Watered with 2 litre of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. I continued using the LST method to improve light penetration to the lower nodes, however, I went a little too hard on one of the lowest stems, and I accidently broke one of her branches off... 😭 Notes: - I've removed a few of her fan leaves to allow more light to reach her lower nodes, I have also removed a couple of the lowest nodes, as they'd never amount to anything.. - Shes growing slowly but surely, I'd say another week or so, and she'll be ready for the 12/12 schedule!

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 49 - Watered with 2 litre of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. She's growing really well, to the point where I had to remove a lot of her leaves and a couple of her stems. I'd say she'll be ready for flower this week, Im just waiting for the Kush Mass to finish, which will free up space in my flowering tent. Notes: - she required a lot of Defoliation this week, as her leaves were large and plentiful. - she's growing really well,

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 56 - Today, she was watered with 2 litre of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. As you can see from the pictures, she has joined the Black Cherry Gushers in the flowering tent, so from this week, she has began her 12/12 light schedule. She was quite big, so I've had to remove a couple of her stems and she required a good bit of defolation, as her fan leaves had overtaken the canopy. She will now remain in this tent for the rest of her lifecycle.

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 61 - Watered with 2 litre of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. She has started to show signs of bloom, so from this week on, she will be in flower 💪🏻🎉 Much like the Black Cherry Gushers, her tent partner, she grew over 20cm this week, so a lot of Defoliation required, to remove all nodes and branches which were too far away from the light source and/or blocked by the canopy 👍🏻 Notes: - you can see on her bud sites, the colour change in her leaves, from green to dark green/blue (see 2nd picture) - her aroma is beginning to fill the tent, but it is still a little weak. But is smells good!

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 66 - Watered with 2 litre of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. From next week, I will be upping her watering volume to 3 litres, as she is starting too look for more. Her growth has been astonishing so far; doubling her size in three weeks! You'll also notice the netting on her, I've applied learnings from a previous grow, where the weight of bud in late flower broke stems, so I've put that on her today to help separate bud sites and to also provide support to her later in her lifecycle. Her bud sites have started to pop up all over her now too, which is crazy quick, considering she has only been on a 12 hour light schedule for just three weeks! Notes: - No defoliation this week, as she had a big cut last week, so for now, she just grows🙏 - she has started to release her aroma into the tent and she smells divine! - she seems to be growing 8cm a day!

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 74 - Watered with 3 litres of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. She had a massive growth spurt this week and was stretching so fast, I had began plan's to bend her main stem, but thankfully she finished that and is now focusing on developing her bud sites 💪 This week, I removed a few leaves, but other than that, I've just let her do her thing.🙏

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 80 - Watered with 3 litres of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. She has stopped stretching and is now focusing on developing her flower, and her smell is starting to shine; very candy minty. She has a big beautiful structure with great internodal spacing! I have high hopes for her yield🤞🏻 Notes: - She has been moved into the 3x3 on a 12 hour light schedule, to give her more space. - I have added under canopy lights to help increase the PPFD at the lower bud sites. - no training or defoliation performed this week, I'm just letting her grow🙏🏻 - I have the exhaust fan attached directly above her main stem, which about 15cm from the top of the tent, to force more airflow around her. - the light is as it's highest setting, but thankfully she is no longer stretching; I may have vegged her for too long

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 87 - Watered with 3 litres of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. She is bulking vigorously at the moment and is drinking 3L every two days at this point, I have also increased her nutrients to ensure she is getting everything she needs 🙏🏻 She is looking so beautiful, her flower is getting so frosty and her aroma fills the tent and the room as soon as I open her up 🤩 very citrusy, possibly one of the best smells I've ever smelled!! She has been really easy to grow so far, and has only required her first bit of defoliation in weeks today; a couple of fan leaves under the canopy that weren't receiving light or were blocking the side lighting from reaching a bud site. I'm really impressed with this one, she is a winner!!!🙏🏻

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 96 - Watered with 3 litres of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, pH'd to 6.3. She required extensive defoliation this week, to allow more light to reach the lower bud sites. She is bulking really well and is probably just about finished, so I'm expecting her to begin the maturity process now 👍🏻

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 103 - Watered with 3 litres of RO tap water, with defined nutrients, mixed in order (starting with BioGrow and finishing with CalMag) and then pH'd to 6.3. She has bulked up really well and her main stem now requires a little bit of support! She is still bulking in her some of lower bud sites, and has not yet had a colour change, so I will continue to water her with full nutrients until this happens, or when her trichomes start to turn amber 👍🏻 She is so tall that she might need to be harvested in two phases, just to give her lower bud sites more time with higher PPFD. I'll have to manage her nutrients differently than normal, as she won't get a flush for her first phase harvest... I'll figure it out! Most people agree that reducing Nitrogen in the nutrients is enough to remove toxins that affect the flavour and potency of her bud.

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 106 - Watered with 5 litres of RO tap water, with a reduced number of defined nutrients, mixed in order and then pH'd to 6.3. She has reached a stage now (around week 8-9 of flower), where I'm happy to start the flush process, so I'm easing her off the nutrients now and from her next watering, she will get no nutrients at all - this should take about ten days, after which I will harvest her 💪🏻. Not much work done on her this week, just a couple of leaves removed around the top bud sites to improve light penetration 👌🏻

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 113 - She is flush, so today I've just watered with 6 litres of RO tap water 👌🏻 I've removed her top most cola as it was ready to harvest and to allow the lower colas to get the most amount of light over the next couple of days! The top cola weighed about 65 grams and is currently drying in a dark cool room with temps between 18-20 degrees celsius and relative humidity set at around 60% - when the rest of her is harvested in a couple of days, she will follow the same process 👍🏻

PapaTerps Blue Zushi - Dutch Passion Day 117 - Harvest Day 🎉🎉 She has been in flush for just over ten days now, receiving just plain RO tap water pH'd to 6.3. Her trichomes are all milky and her pistils have turned a nice amber colour and have started to retreat back into the bracts! Some of her bracts have turned a purple colour too, so it makes some of her colas look like a bunch of grapes, which is very pretty to look at! Her aroma is maybe her best trait, it fills the room with a delicious tropical citrus smell, one of the best aromas I have smelled from a grow! For this harvest, I performed a wet trim, removing all of her fan leaves and wild sugar leaves as well as all stems before weighing her and laying her out to dry. She will be dried in a layered drying rack in a cool dark room, with temperatures ranging from 19-21 degrees celsius and a humidity of between 58% and 62% for ten days, after which, she will be cured in glass jars for at least one month 👍🏻
