🌱 Week 3 | Purple Haze Photo | Folder 7A | Building the Foundation, One Leaf at a Time Welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue, where every Purple Haze phenotype receives its own dedicated GrowDiaries report. Although these plants all come from the same genetic line and are growing under identical conditions, each individual expresses its own personality, structure, and growth rhythm. That is exactly why these diaries exist. Some growers only document a room. I wanted to document every plant. Each report is completely self-contained, allowing anyone who discovers this diary to understand the entire project without needing to read the previous folders. Like every plant in Project Blue, Purple Haze 7A is being cultivated using my favourite 12/12 From Seed technique. From the moment she broke through the soil, she has lived under a 12-hour flowering photoperiod, encouraging compact growth, tight internodal spacing, and allowing each phenotype to reveal its natural characteristics while remaining perfectly manageable inside the grow room. Even though we’re only entering Week 3, this little lady has already shown remarkable progress. Looking back at the first photographs of the week compared with the final ones, the transformation is easy to appreciate. She began the week looking modest and compact, but by the end she had developed into a beautifully structured young plant with noticeably stronger branching and a much fuller canopy. Sometimes the biggest progress isn’t measured in height—it’s measured in structure. ⸻ 🌡️ Week 3 Growing Environment Consistency remains one of the most important ingredients in every successful grow. Throughout the week the environment remained stable: • 🌡️ 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 Stable environmental conditions allow the plants to dedicate their energy to growth instead of constantly adapting to fluctuating temperatures or humidity levels. Healthy roots, consistent transpiration, and balanced metabolism all begin with a stable room. ⸻ 🌿 Feeding Schedule Purple Haze 7A continues receiving the complete Plagron Terra vegetative program: • 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 still prefer a conservative feeding strategy. Rather than pushing maximum growth, my objective is to build a healthy root system, strengthen the stems, and encourage vigorous but controlled vegetative development before flowering accelerates naturally. A healthy plant never needs to be rushed. ⸻ 🍃 Leaf Tucking Before Leaf Cutting One of the biggest changes throughout this week wasn’t caused by nutrients or lighting—it came from simple canopy management. Rather than removing fan leaves, I continued practicing leaf tucking, gently repositioning the larger leaves beneath developing branches whenever possible. This simple technique allows light to reach lower growth sites without sacrificing the plant’s solar panels. Those fan leaves are producing valuable energy every hour the lights are on, so if they can be moved instead of removed, the plant keeps all of that photosynthetic power while the lower branches receive the light they need to grow. It’s a small adjustment that often produces surprisingly big results over time. ⸻ 🌱 Gentle Low Stress Training As the week progressed, Purple Haze 7A also became an excellent candidate for some very gentle Low Stress Training (LST). Rather than forcing the plant into shape, the objective is simply to guide her natural growth. By carefully opening the canopy and encouraging the developing side branches to receive equal exposure to the light, we’re already beginning to create a much more balanced structure for flowering. The difference between the beginning and end of the week is remarkable. Instead of one dominant growing tip, multiple future flowering sites are now waking up and preparing to compete for the canopy. Every day she becomes a little more symmetrical. Every day the structure becomes stronger. And every day she looks a little more prepared for what’s coming next. ⸻ 🌿 A Compact Plant With Big Potential Purple Haze 7A may still be one of the smaller plants in the room, but she has something I always appreciate—balance. Her internodal spacing remains tight. The stem is thickening nicely. The foliage displays a rich, healthy green colour. New growth is vibrant and full of energy, while the secondary branches continue to develop steadily beneath the canopy. She’s not trying to become the biggest plant. She’s quietly becoming one of the best-built. Very often, those are the plants that surprise you the most once flowering begins. ⸻ 🔭 Looking Ahead With another successful week behind her, Purple Haze 7A is entering the next stage with an increasingly well-organized structure and excellent overall health. The combination of stable environmental conditions, gentle LST, strategic leaf tucking, and balanced nutrition is beginning to pay dividends. Every adjustment this week has been made with one goal in mind: creating an even canopy that will maximize light distribution once flowering starts to accelerate. She’s still a compact young lady—but she’s no longer a tiny seedling. She’s becoming a very promising phenotype. Growers Love ad I can’t wait to see what she has planned for the weeks ahead.

This is the fresh frozen wash from two of the four apricot autos grown, It’s smelling and tasting beautiful, with sharp lime/lemon notes mixed with a tropical pineapple and guava mixed drink, So far test pressed 5g of the 159u-73u live heads and it’s return around 71% with a 3.56g give back, For anyone who cares about whole plant fresh frozen yields, I washed 800g and gained 12/13g of 159u-73u heads

She is one happy lady ,smells very strong 💪

Alrighty, the fun part’s over—now it’s time to dial things in. The plants seem to have used up the nutrients in the soil and now require a different feeding approach for the flowering stage. But hey, you’ve got to grow to know, and the fix is simple. From now on, I’m fertilizing once a week with BioBizz organic nutrients, following the provided feeding schedule. I’m sticking to the basic components only. I’ve also added some calcium and magnesium, as the lower fan leaves are showing signs of deficiency. Since the plants have become quite bushy, I pruned the lower third over a few sessions—spreading out the stress and avoiding cutting too much at once. Lastly, I’ve set the oscillating fan to medium intensity to prevent stagnant air. The duct fan is now tuned to maintain a VPD between 0.7 and 0.8 kPa.

Rain tomorrow. Ultima register

This Alien is really looking good! Nice bud sites developing and tons of frost! 😃 Gave her Recharge only this week, felt like giving a break between Big Bloom feedings this time.

Je commence le rinçage, j'arrive au bout 😁 encore 10j environ 😁😁😁 Une longue attente ( 16 semaine !!! )

Very variable weather, summer is at the end, temperature drops quickly, even 60 °F. I was out for 3 days, on my return I found the three girls who were starting to wither but they were promptly watered. No damage to report. The yellowing of the lower canopy has started. Acceptable weather forecast until 10 September. I bought 5 transparent PCV tarps to protect them extemporaneously from the rain. My beloved Gorilla rocks! Buds are forming and filling very well, super sticky and frosty. Strong citron/bubblegum scent. This sativa-like pheno is funtastic, she is not very leafy, leaves are narrow so the sun penetrate very well through the whole plant. It remains to be seen how the buds will fill up and if my girl can disprove the reputation for "quality buds but low yields" . Let's see. Expected harvest September 3rd week.

Have you ever smelt alien sweat? Not me but if I was close enough I'm almost sure this would be the smell of it, the Kosher Tangie is really smelling like something out of this world, there is not much big buds in my view but her smell and bud structure if definitely something to witness, cant wait to roll one stay tuned.

When attempting to bend the main cola on the Gorilla with plastic clips (never again), it snapped and hung on just the tiniest thread, so I involuntarily had to remove it completely, thus topping it, which I never intended. The plant does not seem to mind at all and the side branches started lifting up as if trying to take over and compensate. So far, Northern Light is the biggest mystery for me - the leaves look strange and it has the slowest growth of all. Even the Purolematic, which started last and was the smallest turned out to grow bigger. I also added 2 fans to help circulate the air inside.

On ajoute le paillis (paillis de bois dur) et les vers (red wigglers et night crawlers) au prochain pot de 25gallons ! We add mulch (hard wood mulch) and worms (red wigglers and night crawlers) to the next 25gal fabric pots !

7/18 Plants are looking great. I was able to rearrange the plants so they have a little bit more space and so I can get around every plant. I have small random pest damage (i.e. I caught a four lined plant bug while hunting jpn beetles) but not enough h to warrant treatment. I will probably spray before flower. Sun's out amd plants were praying. I rotated a couple and it only took a few hours for them to "straighten out." I went to look again rhis morning and made the final determination to expand the cage. I'm looking for the 2x4's and the wire in the next couple days. The work that ive done now will but me sometime. I wonder how this rain impacted my soil. 7/19 Plants are looking fantastic. The stretch is starting. One purple punch looks like it's beginning to flower. I think I'm entering the transition period. Jpn beetle damage is evident but not significant. I defoliated a leaf with a a leafminwr or something in it. It's so much easier to get around the plants now. I'm seeing some chunks missing sporadically though. Went to the roses out back and found TONS of jpn beetleson top of each other reproducing. They destroyed that rose bush. I'm going to keep it as a trap plant. My dad's girlfriend wanted to spray it but that doesn't make sense as theflowers are all gone. Dad's grabbing the materials to extend the cage today I think. Right now I can get around every plant but the two big ones in the back. I just cant get to the backs of them and they are huge. Almost reaching the top of the cage. A 4'-6' extension will do wonders in flower. Can't wait. UPDATE: Dad got the 2x4's and we assembled the extension and attached it. He's grabbing the wire as I type this. This worked out beautifully. I had no idea how big the blueberry cheese in the 50 gallon was! This extension (4ft i think) is PERFECT! Then I can get a little extra wire and pull it out if I wanted to. I think I have another 2x4 that I'm going to use in the middle. Lots of great pics and a video I'll upload tomorrow. Hot af today and humidity still super high. Even the commercial dudes was surprised I don't have wpm l and that judging by some of my plants structure that I may do better than I think. I certainly hope so. I WATERED 3 GALLONS OVER THE WHOLE GARDEN. The blueberry cheese in smart pots were drooping. They drink far more water than tje others. I would've given more but we are supposed to have thunderstorms. I left my back tarp off for the night. It will increase airflow and wind is down. I feel like this is going to be my year. 7/20 I updated and loaded everything on the app but notjing would save. Did it again in the website hopfully this saves i didnt put it all up. Didn't water the plants today. Bags seemed okay weight wise. Good thing I did the extension yesterday because those three plants were drooping they were so thirsty. I focused most of the water yesterday on those plants that needed it. The others were somewhat dry but still had some weight. Like i said the blc drinks much more water than any of the other plants. I'm impressed with the growth I'm seeing. Especially since I have been being very stingy with the water and I've only fed like twice and that was just the kelp me/you and big bloom in negligible amounts. I'm watching for deficiencies. I'm just not seeing them. I'm picking up the wire and finishing the extension and then rearranging things. I'll update. UPDATE: WATERED 4 GALLONS CONCENTRATING ON THE PLANTS THAT WERE DROOPING THE MOST. FINISHED ENCLOSURE AND INCREASED PLANT SPACE. TRELLIS WILL GO UP THIS WEEK. VIDEOS WILL BE UPLOADED TOMORROW. 7/21 I should've watered more volume last night. I noticed two plants that seemed much lighter than the rest. After some deliberation I gave them each a half gallon of water. One was the purple punch in the 10 that's huge amd the other was that huge blueberry cheese. I think I'm going to swap places with them, take out a pallet and get some other way to elevate that ONE plant and I'll have even more room. Then I'll add my supports. It's a dream working in there now. I noticed some small interior leaves being used up and dieing. I defoliated them but it was only a couple. I'll need to start nutes at some point. Doesn't need it yet though. I'm going to add some kelp me/you for the heat stress. I need to get the watering down better but it's more difficult when they each have different needs. I kinda have to read the plant. I'd rather be overwatered than underwatered. I tried to upload what I could but some won't. UPDATE: I went over to clip off some fencing that was doubled up AND just to check on tge girls. Found two caterpillars (small but hairy so they were older not the inch worms and possibly what has been contributing to damage on those plants. Things are spread out so it will be harder for insects to move from plant to plant and I have better air flow. I worry that leaving my tarp off might lead to high winds and plants not able to take it buf I digress. I'll add supports later. Plants are huge and drinking far more water than I've been giving them. When I got there several were drooped right over and dry as a bone. The bags are essentially all roots now. I mixed up 8 gallons of water and split it between the plants. I gave less to the two Co trainer plants that weren't drooping and the 10 I watered yesterday that wasn't drooping but for the most part the ones that needed if got at least a gallon or more. The others a little under a gallon. It might rain A LITTLE tonight too. Oh, and since it's been so hot I added 1/2 tsp per gallon of kelp me kelp you to help the plants deal with heat stress. I also noticed that some of the very bottom interior leaves are being used up. I have a feeling ill need to switch to nutes pretty soon. Plus I need to suppirt those plants if I'm going to leave that tarp off and Gove them air. Took a video. But it won't upload here. I'll have to wait till tomm. 7/22 Didn't have much timevthis morning bit I dod a video. Boy those plants loved that water and that kelp. This morning everyone was standing straight up at attention. Supposed to get rain last night but didn't. Good thing I watered. I think I'm going to up the water next watering and then again to the 10% mark if necessary. Especially with the Blueberry cheeses. I'm noticing that a FEW INTERIOR leaves are showing nute deficiencies so I'm probably going to have to start feeding soon. I'll update later. UPDATE: Went back over and cut off the extra wire. I'm going to need to water more volume. Specifically on two plants. The two huge blueberry cheese in 20 gallon smart bags dries out much faster than the rest. I'll have to out that on a different schedule or increase the amount given. Next watering will be 1.5 or 2 gallons a plant and it might be tomorrow from what I was seeing. It's super hot and with the added airflow the bags dry out faster. I also went through EACH plant looking for pests and defoliating old leaves that needed it. Plants are still nice and green but a VERY few older interior leaves are showing deficiencies. I know this is Normal especially since they are trying n g to transition to flower. I also saw pest damage on a couple plants. Four lined plant bug. I already found the one on the other plant and killed it but I'm considering doing a spray before flower. I'm thinking either captain Jack as a "catch all", BT which works great but mostly just on pillars or the organocide bee safe 3 in one pesticide. I also have pyrethium and other things. Thus far picking things off manually has been good enough. At the very least they will get an application of BT very soon. 7/23 Held off on watering this morning. Supposed to get thunder storms I DID split a gallon with two blueberry cheese that were the lightest in the 20 gallon smart pots. Thet drink way more. My water volume is going to need to increase. We haven't had nearly enough rain. I'm going to bump it up to 1.5 to 2 gallons each plant which will be 10% for the 20s and a little less for the others. I'm still seeing various pest damage. Nothing bad but I found another couples leaves that were chomped on by a four lined plant bug so I'm debating applying something tonight when I water. I'm also noticing old leaves being used up and some interior leaves showing slight deficiencies. It will be time to start nutes soon. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: GOT THE FEELING I NEEDED TO CHECK THE PLANTS. SOMETHING DODNT LOOK RIGHT ON THE CAMS. WENT OVER AND EVERY PLANT BUT THE TWO I SPLIT A GALLON WITH AND THE PLANT IN THE 50 WERE DROOPED RIGHT OVER. LIFELESS. I SHOULD'VE WATERED THIS MORNING BUT I DIDNT HAVE TIME. I FIGURED THEY COULD WAIT UNTIL NIGHT. EACH PLANT GOT 1.5 GALLONS AT LEAST. I USED SIXTEEN OR SEVENTEEN GALLONS ON THE GARDEN. I GAVE EACH CONTAINER PLANT ONE GALLON AND GOT RUN OFF FROM BOTH. IM NOTICING SKIGHT FADING IN LEAVES BUT IM NOT INTRODUCING NUTES TO UNDERWATERED PLANTS. I THINK 10% IS GONNA BE TGE MAGIC NUMBER. 2 GALLONS EACH. EVEN THE 10 GALLON SMART POT. ALMLST AS BIG AS THE 30S BUT DRIES OUT QUICKER. 7/24 Plants looked fantastic this morning. Defoliated a few leaves that needed it. Showed my commercial buddy and he said things looked fantastic. Since the soils still holding nutes and I'm not seeing many deficiencies I may hold off on feeding. I'm starting early flower now. I will be using nutes soon. I think ive got the watering schedule pretty much down.
