🌱 Week 3 | Purple Haze Photo | Folder 7B | Growing at Her Own Pace Welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue, where every Purple Haze phenotype receives its own dedicated diary. Although every plant shares the same genetics, environment, nutrients, and lighting schedule, each one expresses its own unique growth pattern, making every folder a story of its own. This diary is part of my ongoing exploration of 12/12 From Seed, a cultivation technique that has become one of my favourites. From the day these seeds emerged from the soil, they have grown under a 12-hour light cycle, encouraging compact development, excellent internodal spacing, and allowing every phenotype to reveal its natural structure without excessive vegetative growth. Purple Haze 7B reminds us of one of the most important lessons in growing: Not every healthy plant develops at the same speed. She entered Week 3 slightly behind some of her sisters, but she never showed signs of stress or weakness. Instead, she quietly focused on building a strong foundation. Comparing the first photographs with those taken at the end of the week, the improvement is obvious. New nodes are stacking, the stem has thickened, and the canopy is beginning to take shape beautifully. Sometimes patience is the best nutrient we can provide. ⸻ 🌡️ Week 3 Growing Environment Every phenotype in Project Blue benefits from the same carefully controlled environment. During this week the room remained stable with the following conditions: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C • 🌙 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 Providing identical environmental conditions across every plant allows each phenotype to express its own genetic potential, making differences in growth much easier to observe and document. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Schedule Purple Haze 7B continues receiving the complete Plagron Terra vegetative feeding program: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L Rather than increasing nutrients simply because another plant grows faster, I prefer feeding according to overall health. She has shown excellent colour, healthy new growth, and no indication that she needs anything beyond a consistent and balanced feeding schedule. Healthy roots always come before explosive growth. ⸻ 🍃 Letting the Plant Set the Tempo One thing I enjoy about phenotype hunts is learning to respect each plant’s individual pace. It’s tempting to compare sisters growing side by side, but plants don’t read calendars. Purple Haze 7B may have started the week slightly behind, yet every day she added another piece to the puzzle. Her leaves gradually became larger, her stem gained strength, and fresh shoots began emerging confidently from each node. Rather than chasing rapid vertical growth, she invested her energy into creating a sturdy framework for the weeks ahead. That’s exactly the kind of patience I like to see. ⸻ 🌱 Preparing for Future Training With several healthy nodes now established, this phenotype is approaching the point where gentle canopy management will begin. For now, the focus remains simple. Allow every branch to develop naturally. Maintain strong root growth. Keep the environment stable. As the side branches continue to elongate over the coming days, they’ll become excellent candidates for gentle leaf tucking and Low Stress Training (LST), helping open the canopy without interrupting the plant’s natural momentum. There’s no need to rush the process. Every training technique works best when the plant tells you she’s ready. ⸻ 🌿 Quiet Progress Is Still Progress One of my favourite things about Purple Haze 7B is her balance. The leaves remain a beautiful healthy green. Internodal spacing is nice and compact. New growth appears vibrant and vigorous. The stem continues to strengthen with each passing day. Although she’s one of the smaller ladies in the room, she carries herself with confidence, and every new set of leaves suggests she’s finding her rhythm. She may not be leading the race today. But healthy, steady plants often become some of the biggest surprises later in flower. ⸻ 🔭 Looking Ahead Week 3 has given Purple Haze 7B exactly what she needed: time. Time to establish healthy roots. Time to strengthen her stem. Time to build the structural foundation that will support future flowering. As she enters the coming week, I expect her side branches to accelerate, her canopy to become fuller, and her compact frame to transform into a well-balanced flowering structure. With stable environmental conditions and consistent nutrition, she’s now perfectly positioned to continue catching up naturally. Some phenotypes sprint. Others build quietly before showing what they’re truly capable of. Growers Love and I have a feeling 7B belongs to the second group.

Ya estamos en proceso de formación de la flor. Se ven algunas más grandes que otras. Pero a grandes rasgos estan muy parejas. Me preocupa un poco la cercanía a la luz, dado que estoy en 15cm y cualquier estirón extra, sería una complicación. Vamos a ir viendo como se dan las cosas, pero al momento, no me puedo quejar. Las plantas se ven bien y saludables. Día 24. Se empieza a notar el engorde. Esperando a que aparezcan las hojas de azúcar, que ya se empiezan a visibilizar las primeras. Voy a ver si puedo conseguir overdrive de advanced para cuando se terminen de formar las flores. Entre tanto solamente tuve un inconveniente de pérdida de agua por una manguera que moví al atar las plantas, pero ya repuse la solución perdida y todo va encaminado. No sé si van a tardar las 6 semanas que dice el catálogo, pero cuanto mucho serán 8. Seguiré actualizando. Día 26. Las flores empiezan a yomar su forma voluminosa. Estoy en duda sobre si agregar PK la semana próxima o la otra. Quizá empiece a usarlo en el próximo depósito. No quiero tampoco sobrepasarlas y agregar el producto antes porque tengo entendido que puede ser contraproducente. De todos modos me quedan dos días para el cambio de solución, así que voy a ver cuando termine la semana. Entre tanto, ya empiezan las emociones. Día 28. Hice ina poda de hojas bien fuerte. Ya de esa forma dejo expuesto a la luz todo lo que tiene que terminar de engordar y de paso me esquivo posibles problemas de humedad. Al final voy a usar el PK de greenhouse que tengo, pero voy a subir la dosis. Mañana se viene el cambio de solución, para lo que sería la ante última semana en teoría. Vamos a ver como evoluciona, porque los cambios son muy abruptos de una semana a la otra. Y llegado el momento miraré los tricomas, como para ir haciéndome a la idea.

Amnesia Zkittles still going….. All the rest are in the freezer except a few saved buds of cherry cola. I’ll be making hash with them

On time passes like sands through the hourglass so are the days of our lives. Girls are tall and lanky and already one in the back who stopped drinking again has already started to flop over. I am waiting to -install trellis -top dress -install new spider farmer LED As soon as the new light comes in. As usual, I top dress with -Gaia green 284/444 appropriate ratio -bat guano - tsp or less -bit of insect frass Then I water in -Herculean Harvest -Recharge -liquid kelp -cal mag Then every now and then: -Gaia green soluble kelp

Primeira semana foi só meter a semente a germinar e passar para os vasos!

16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. 🤞 that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

I’m thinking of throwing out one of the phenos she’s seems to have a mutation. Might wait a week and she what she does, but Pheno 1 is looking good and I can’t wait to take some clones of her.

A pretty uneventful week. I barely even photographed her. She's really due for a nice natural lighting photo sesh, but I really need to be in the mood for it or else the magic just isn't there. She still drinks near a gallon a day. Her leaves are super sticky. She has a nice sweet fragrance which I'm excited about! Now let's get those buds to fatten up! 🍆 💪 🍆💪🍆💪🍆

Having to feed every two days and she is drinking 7L of water. (3mL CalMag | 5mL Micro | 5mL Gro | 7.5mL Bloom (per gallon) She seems to be done stretching. Did a final prune and have the final form set The scent coming off this plant is really something, even on a stem rub you can tell it is special. It has this unique astringent quality to it, looking forward to see how it matures.

En su Nuevo suelo y con los microbios ganaron vigorosidad, las hojas están frondosas, y sus tallos engordaron, la verdad siento que prometen mucho 😈

Top dressed at the end of week 3. I think I'm going to push these plants to 9 weeks. So I'm top dressing again and 3 weeks. Everything is going as smooth as butter right now..

*Week 5 Flower 09/24* Thus far both both plants are flowering and budding nicely, Trichomes are setting in accordingly, Increase in Phosphate and Potassium nute feeds. Both plants have appeared to stop growing in height settling in at 48Inches. Top COLAS are pretty dense and the aroma coming off both of them is bright and vibrant White Hairs are starting to turn bright orange. *Week 5 Flower Mid week update - 09/28* Both plants have reached max height (48 Inches) Bud sites are filling up and have become more dense with trichomes cover through the flowered bud. 60% orange hair coverage - Nearing harvest *Week 5 Flower End week recap 09/30* Both Apple Fritter and Critical+2.0 nearing harvest Cutting back on nute feeds starting tomorrow and will increase clean water feeds Flushing will begin in a week - both will be harvested in 2 weeks.

18-4-2021 TRAIN TILL SHE BECOMES A BEAST Good progress /branching out its a bushy plant Now thats for sure... Nice ... still not in flower but i think 1 more week till she change into flower , this week i also give a new batch of nematodes i dont see any fungus gnats flying but just to keep it on the good side for now ppm im gonna push to 550 PPM the water i use is soft water 100ppm ,

She is tall and stacking flowers nicely. . I've never not trained a plant so this one. Is new to me.

No sings of flowering yet. Maybe I messed up this auto with the rough initial conditions. This week they received a nutrient solution made by myself including NPK levels (for transition) and silicon. The 18hr light cycle has been an estimate of what they’ve been getting naturally.

Die Blüten wurden zur Hälfte nass getrimmt. Die Trocknung erfolgte im Growzelt mit Ventilator und Abluft bei einer Temperatur von 22 Grad Celsius und einer Luftfeuchtigkeit von ca. 56 Prozent über 7-9 Tage. Bei der täglichen Kontrolle habe ich wenige Blüten gefunden, die ich entsorgen musste. Sie braucht schon etwas Aufmerksamkeit, die Shaman. Anschließend wurden die Blüten trocken weiter getrimmt und zum Aushärten mit Boveda 62% in Schnappdeckelgläsern bei 20 Grad in einem Eichenschrank gelagert. Das Endprodukt und ein abschließender Konsumreport folgen ca. Mitte November. Ich bin ziemlich happy! 💚

This week has gone great! At the beginning of the week we flushed the remaining Fox farm nutrients we had been using before with Sledgehammer. After we treated with an organic compost tea brewed by our local hydroponic shop. We started with the Cyco Platinum Series this week. It’s still a bit early to tell but we will see how this nutrient line performs. I am very optimistic. As you may be able to tell I have a reservoir with coco coir mix on top with a drip irrigation system. I’m going to be trying out this system and an ebb and flow system in the upcoming weeks. I’m looking to maximize quality and quantity and believe these two system offer some of the best results. We look forward to starting that project! As for the lady she is looking extremely healthy. She is recovering well from being topped and lst. We’re going to let her grow up a bit now and stretch her out across the first trellis. My experience says this should be in 2-3 weeks and the. We will let her grow up through the second trellis. All in all I believe I’m looking at a 7-10 week veg. My goal is to shoot for a minimum of 1.3lbs from one plant. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Leave a comment if you have any questions or if you have any suggestions! Please check out my Instagram. Link in my Bio. Peace ✌️ Love ❤️ and Thanx 👍

The plant more than doubled its size this week. I thought that might be the case but was not sure how multiple 100f degree days would affect her, but she did just fine, and even seemed to thrive. I watered the night before hot weather started with my compost tea. Two mornings later got watered deep with cal-mag water in the morning, and has been doig well without water since and I held off a day to water to wait and see if it rains. Also gpt a little top sress of BSF frass and a touch of neem seed meal to help with pests and also helped the microbes in the tea.
