I did her second tie-down on day 22 actually. Day 24- Iโ€™m okay with the fan leaf laying on the surface for *now.* Just because I live in a high, dry desert with a consistent RH at around 20-25%. And also, because the top quarter inch of soil is dry. However I will probably be propping it up with something tomorrow morning. Day 25- finally I decided to fold down the rim of the pot for more light!

9-9 Smooth sailing. Recharge 750ml 9-11 Day 17 So, I was debating hard, to let her go or lst her. She made up her mind instead. Shorty didn't wanna bend. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ I hope she stays between 20-32 inches. ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ˜ 9-12 Big water 2-2.5 liters. Shes being a little stubborn to go. 9-14 Just leaf tucked. Shes still small and stubborn! She also doesn't want to flower yet, unlike her sisters! But, that just means good news for me! Last day of the week!

๐ŸŒธ Week 11 โ€“ Gorilla Cookies Auto Pheno Hunt Another week is in the books, and now all the phenos have officially entered the bulking phase. ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒธ The flowers are swelling rapidly, and it's amazing to see how differently each phenotype is stacking and filling out. Every week brings more weight, stronger aromas, and denser buds. ๐Ÿ“ˆ Current observations: All phenos are now focusing entirely on bulking up their flowers. Pheno #1 and #2 are producing massive buds, with some already reaching the size of soft drink cans. ๐Ÿฅค๐Ÿ”ฅ Pheno #6 has made incredible progress over the last two weeks. Although it had the slowest start, it has developed beautifully and is building flowers surprisingly well. It will most likely need around two extra weeks after the others and will probably finish the grow on its own. Pheno #3 unfortunately never fully recovered after I had to remove several main colas because they were growing into the SANlight fixture. While it's still producing nice flowers, it clearly lost some of its potential. Pheno #4 continues to be my personal favorite. The aroma is absolutely incredible, with a sweet Kush profile, and the buds are becoming rock hard already. ๐Ÿ’Ž ๐Ÿ“Š Current environment: Temperature: 31ยฐC Relative Humidity: 63% VPD: ~1.66 kPa SANlight fixture at maximum height Light intensity: 90% โณ Looking ahead: If everything continues as expected, I think the first phenos will be ready for harvest in about two weeks. The final stage is always my favoriteโ€”watching the buds swell even more, the trichomes mature, and the terpene profiles reach their peak. I'm excited to see which phenotype finishes on top, but right now Pheno #4 is definitely leading the pack. ๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ’ฌ Which pheno would you harvest first based on these updates?

What up what up, weekly update on these FrostBangers, they've definitely transitioned beautifully into flower and now almost everyday you can see the flower sites swelling getting bigger. I raised my lights this week as they where getting about 12in from the top of the canopy and I usually like it to be a little further that that. All in all Happy Growing.

Checkout my Instagram @smallbudz to see the Small budget grow setup for indoor use, low watt, low heat, low noise, step by step. 25/10/2019 - First feed I gave her 0.25ml on 250ml of water of Biobizz-Grow, with 6.5ph. 26/10/2019 - Leafs looking a bit crooked, and some pale spot lets hope its not fungus. (gave her 100ml of just PH 6.5 water) 27/10/2019 - Feeding day, gave her 250ml water with 0.25ml Biobizz Grow, 6.4PH (changed feeding to once every 2 days with a plain water interval) 28/10/2019 - Started LST 30/10/2019 - Feeding day, gave her 250ml water with 0.25ml of each Biobizz - Grow,Bloom and Max, 6.3PH, added carbon filter and it raised the temps to 29c 31/10/2019 - A tad too much of nuts, little burn tip.

7/20 Went over this morning to plants soaking wet and heavy rain. Went back around 4pm and plants actually look really good. The rain has stopped for a bit and the girls looked great. Apart from some septoria leaves I needed to defoliate on the first plant I treated. I also noticed a few others on other plants so it's spreading albeit slowly. I treated the three in the middle with their second dose of Plant Doctor at 3tsp/1gal. One gallon administered to each plant via root drench. I think I may treat the other plant showing signs with a diy Dr. Zymes using citric acid as the active ingredient. That way I Gould start treatment right away without having to rely fully on plant doctor. Plus it would kill any pests. Ive seen damage but the birds do a number on them. I dont want to spray my plants with a bunch of chemicals if I don't have too. I shouldve replaced the pallets and cleaned the cage better. I think I did a good job sanitizing as I have no wpm. Just this septoria I probably got when the lady mowing the lawn cut all tjis fucking grass and blew it in my pen, throwing bird seed and I'm sure tons of disease into my grow bags. I literally had to harvest a bunch if fucking sunflowers. It looked like my plants had been mulched. Just with small disease carrying shrubs. At some point some of this stuff has to be on purpose. You CAN'T be that stupid. A couple kushes in the back look hungry. I think I may need to up my feed. I've written to much. I'll keep this updated. Thanks if you made it this far. 7/21 I guess it rained last night. Oh well. It was blue skies for hours before dark. It must've rained late/early morning. I'm sure the app of plant doctor will be fine. Like I said I'm considering using citric acid as a foliar spray to help with the septoria and clean up any pests. I don't have enough pests to warrant spraying. I just don't want to put all my eggs in the plant doctor basket. Today is overcast and windy. The wind has really assisted in spreading this virus. I remove anything I see infected immediately and since these plants are reveges they have plenty of leaves. Plants are really stretching. I know I talk about the septoria a lot but realistically if someone looked through my garden they'd have a hard time spotting it. I don't want to exaggerate the problem but I don't like dealing with ANY fungus or molds. 7/22 It was 55ยฐ this morning when I went over. I defoliated some septoria leaves and a few that were fading or damaged. I saw almost a whole leaf eaten so it's probably a good idea to move forward with citric acid. I can add that to the plants I've already treated with plant doctor. This is the first year it's been so noticeable. It's the reveg 10th planet that started this off. Oh well. I've dealt with MUCH worse. Plants LOOK good (other than septoria leaves (on bottom of plant). Today is water day for me but it's been raining and it's a lot cooler today. Bags still had weight to them. I want them to have a proper wet dry cycle. Temps top out at 75ยฐ so I'll monitor during the day and if something NEEDS WATER I'll give it to it. I'm suprised I have ZERO WPM. The septoria is much more identifiable but pm is usual present in these conditions bur I don't have a spot of it. I may do some defoliation today. I also need to add supports for flowering but one thing at a time. EDIT: Went over around noon. 70ยฐ. Bags seem to be holding weight (it was easier to tell as ONE plant was substantially lighter than the rest) so I decided to hold off on watering. At least until tonight. There are three plants (at least that are going to NEED water). They look phenomenal now though and we've had lots of rain. Plan is to go over later and get the light ones and mix the water for the others so I can administer it in the morning quickly. I have an early doctor's appointment but I don't to overwater or water unnecessarily just because. But when you grow alone sometimes you need to do things when your able. I have people there that would help if I asked. And I have before but its late . I'm very grateful. I defoliated quite a few septoria leaves. They were all from the bottom of the plant. A couole wete bottom interior. I know there are worse things to contend with but still a pain. EDIT #2 WENT BACK AT FOUR AND PLANTS LOOKED FANTASTIC AND STILL HELD WEIGHT. THE REVEG MK ULTRA IN EARLY FLOWER "MAY" HAVE STARTED TO DROOP AND "SEEMED" LIGHT. THE LARGE SPECIAL KUSH FUETHEST IN FLOWER BY THE DOOR WAS ALSO EXRRENELY LIGHT. I HAVE AN EARLY DOCTORS APPOINTMENT BUT DONT WANT TO OVER WATER MY PLANTS JUST BECAUSE IM IN A HURRY. ITS COOLER THIS WEEK. 70 TODAY AND HIGH OF 80 TOMORROW BUT DAD SAID THATS NOT UNTIL THE AFTERNOON. I MIXED UP ENOUGH WATER TO WATER EVERYTHING IN THE MORNING IF IT NEEDS IT. I HAVE AN IMPORTANT DOCTORS APPOINTMENT EARLY THAT WILL TAKE ME AWAY AND IM FEELING A LITTLE ILL SO I WANTED TO GET DONE WHAT I COULD TODAY. WATERED THE TWO THAT NEEDED IT WITH TWO GALLONS A PIECE (30GAL REVEG MK ULTRA AND THE BIG SPECIAL KUSH IN FRONT I DIDNT TOP THATS FLOWERING THE FASTEST. EVERYTHING ELSE CAN WAIT. 7/24 Surprisingly the plants still held weight this morning! The looked pretty good too! However its going to be highs in the 80's for the next 7 days. Since the plants still had some heft to them I watered everything just a gallon. I gave the 10s a half gallon and skipped the 50gal container plant. I think this is a good happy medium. I'm still seeing random septoria leaves but still no WPM. I defoliate daily sometimes a couple times. I need to get a minute to myself and add a foliar spray. I'll start with a dih Dr. Zymes while I'm looking into other products like bicilus (i have bt but its a different bicilus) or trichodermia. I need to feed sometime this week too. 7/25 Plants looked great this morning. I watered the 10th planet on the end that hadn't been watered in forever. I think I had been overwatering during those 100ยฐ days. I didn't water today as everything looks great and they don't seem to need it. I'll check later today. I did water the pink kush beside the 50 as it was much lighter (1/2 gal) to get it on par with the others. I'm starting to see pest damage as well so I think an app of Dr. Zymes would be a good idea. Both for pests and septoria. Plants are REALLY stretching. One special Kush is far ahead of the others. EDIT:WENT OVER AT NOON AND 4PM. PLANTS LOOKED GREAT APART FROM MIRE SEPTORIA ON THE 10TH PLANET. I NEED TO WATERING DIFFERENT IN THESE TEMPS. IT WAS BREEZY AND 80ยฐ BUT THE BAGS DIDNT FEEL TOTALLY LIGHT AND THE PLANTS LOOKED AWESOME! THE HUGE EARLY FLOWERING SPECIAL KUSH IS PRETTY DAMN LUGHT BUT ITS PRAYING AMD LOOKING GREAT. I DECIDED TO WATER AND FEED IN THE MORNING AND HOPFULLY APPLY A DR. ZYMES PRODUCT ON THE ENTIRE GARDEN IN THE EVENING. PLANTS LOOK HUNGRY AND I HAVE RANDOM PESTS. ITS MOSTLY FOR THE FUNGACIDE ASPECT. PLANT SOCTOR SEEMS TO BE WORKING GREAT ON TWO OUT OF THE THREE I USED IT ON. THE THIRD IS A REVEG AND HAS TONS OF FOLIAGE I NEED TO ADDRESS AND CLEAN OUT. IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL SPIT OFF SOME SEPTORIA LEAVES A DAY OR TWO BEFORE ANOTHER APP IS DUE. I'M LOOKING INTO MY OPTIONS. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE A SURE DIRE WAY TO DEAL WITH LEAF SEPTORIA IN EARLY FLOWER HIT ME UP! IM NOT TOO WORRIED THOUGH. I CAN SUPPRESS IT ENOUGH IF I HAVE TO EVEN IF I GOTTA SPRAY THE LEAVES WITH THAT 9.0PH ALKALINE WATER. 7/26 Supposed to be REALLY hot with thunderstorms. I watered the two thirstiest with a gallon and a half. Everything else got a gallon (but the 10th planet on the end that was still heavy and the 50). I fed everything too. I SHOULD'VE done the DIY Dr. Zymes spray but I wanted to keep feeding and adding an unknown foliar spray seperate in case of any reactions. A day before plant doctor is due to be applied again the 10th planet in the 20 starts showing signs of septoria again. I've defoliated quite a few septoria leaves. I'm not giving up. I assume I'll do something tonight and I MAY just look to see what I can find on Amazon. Luckily my plants still look beautiful. I hope it continues and I can stay on top of it. 7/27 Wow everything looked amazing this morning. EVERYTHING. The runt in the 50 has septoria but it was such nice fine Kong branches. I haven't treated tjat plant with anything. Plant Doctor app is due tomorrow. That product is working wonders and saving my crop. I'll pull a leaf or two here or there but this keeps it suppressed at least. For the most part. I think I might just treat everything with preventative doses and ANYTHING I've seen with a spot a cure dose (even though I know it's not "cured" but it's "supressed"). Plants I think are almost over the stretch. I have one special kush pheno that is much further in flower than the others. I can't wait to see what the flowers look like.

Day 15 - Transplanted WWxBB 1, and SB 1 & 2 to Roots Organics Original in 5 gallon pots. It went smooth and they all perked up pretty quickly. WWxBB2 could use some more time to develop its roots but no more than 2 days until she gets transplanted too. Day 17 - Transplanted WWBB2 this morning so now all 4 ladies are in 5 gallon pots. Watering .5 L every about every 3 days but will need to gradually increase the watering amount with the root development. Keeping an eye out for topping time! Day 19 - Starting to see some slight discolorations on a few leaves. Seems too early for the soil to be running out of nutrients and my pH has been consistent as far as I know. Thinking about trying a light does of some FF nutes if it persists. WWBB1 is almost ready for topping.

Hello Diary. We reached the end of the fifth farm, along with two Haze Berries, there was another Fat Banana plant that ended its journey a week earlier than the Haze Berries. Haze Berries have become record holders in terms of yield. A total of 185 g, with the larger Haze Berry # 1 yielding 105 g and the smaller Haze Berry # 2 yielding 80g. Definitely a record yield. I think I wrote and described more or less all the information, the amount of photos shows the whole cycle of plant development during each week so I wouldnโ€™t spend too many words on it anymore. Here's how it all went since the last call. 05/12/2020 - Day 72. Harvest. I checked with a microscope and when most of the trichomes are milky and about 5% have turned brown itโ€™s time to harvest, at least thatโ€™s the case in my case. After the last photo shoot, I cut off both plants at the very bottom of the stalk and hung upside down in a growbox to dry. Temp / Humidity on the farm - 23.4 degrees and 38% humidity. 17/12/2020 - Day 84. After 12 days of drying, I took the plants out and pruned the rest of the dry leaves. I put the dried flowers in jars, put in moisture fighters for better moisture regulation and for better curing. 31/12/2020 - Day 98. Tasting. Great smoke, fruity tropical flavor. Happy New Year Haze Berry Auto (Royal Queen Sees) - 17/09/2020 - Sprouted - 05/12/2020 - Harvest - Total 80 days. Haze Berry Auto # 1 - 105g Haze Berry Auto # 2 - 80g Finally, I would like to thank James from the Royal Queen Seeds, for his support, seeds and nutrients. And I would like to thank all of you who support me and give advice with the help of which I also grow along with my plants. Many thanks to everyone and see you soon with the new diaries.๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿ’™ Project Blue Tent โ€“ Week 11 ๐Ÿ’™ Blue Waffle F1 โ€“ Pheno A ๐ŸŒธ The Frost Is Coming... And She's Looking Incredible Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter inside Project Blue Tent! ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒฑ And honestly... I'm not even sure where to start this week. Because... LOOK AT HER. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ After everything we've done over the previous weeks, we're finally reaching that beautiful stage where the plants don't need us to constantly interfere. They just need us to watch. And what we're watching right now? Absolutely amazing. The bud formation is developing beautifully. The frost levels across the tent are going absolutely crazy. The structure we built is doing exactly what we wanted. The second SCROG is supporting the flowering branches. The airflow is working beautifully. The irrigation and drainage systems are running flawlessly. And now we've introduced a second LumiFlora under-canopy light to help illuminate the lower portions of this enormous flowering structure. So yes... there was a little bit of tinkering this week. ๐Ÿ˜‚ But mostly? We stood there staring at the plants. Because sometimes... that's the best job in the grow room. ๐ŸŒฟ PHENO A โ€“ THE WORK IS NOW SPEAKING FOR ITSELF Blue Waffle F1 Pheno A is still sitting at approximately 145 cm. And at this point, her height almost isn't the interesting part anymore. Because now we're watching what all that structure is turning into. Weeks of vegetation. Training. SCROG. Stretch management. Defoliation. Canopy organization. A second SCROG. Additional airflow. Raised lighting. And now... flowers. Lots of them. And the development we're seeing is making me extremely happy. The plant has moved from: "How are we going to control all of this?" to: "Okay... now let's see what all of this becomes." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ That's a very good transition. ๐ŸŒธ BUD FORMATION โ€“ OUT OF THIS WORLD This week, the thing that really catches my eye is the bud formation. The flowering sites are developing beautifully throughout the plant. And the amount of frost we're seeing now? Oh my God. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The whole tent is starting to look like somebody has been throwing powdered sugar around in there. The flowers are getting increasingly covered in trichomes, and the close-up photographs are really starting to show what these girls are capable of. This is the stage where all those weeks of structural work become incredibly rewarding. We spent so much time talking about branches. Canopy. Spacing. Stretch. Support. Light penetration. Airflow. And now? The flowers are taking over the conversation. Exactly as we hoped. ๐ŸŒฟ THE DEFOILATION โ€“ NOW WE SEE WHY WE DID IT One of the things I really appreciate about this stage is being able to look back at the previous weeks. When we performed the major defoliation, the plants looked dramatically different. We removed a significant amount of foliage. And at the time, the goal wasn't to make the plants look pretty. It was to make the flowering structure more functional. We wanted better visibility. Better airflow. Less unnecessary congestion. More access to the flowering sites. And a canopy that would be easier to manage as the flowers developed. Now? We're seeing the result. The plant has recovered beautifully. The remaining foliage is working. The flowering sites are clearly visible. The branches are supported. And the flowers are developing exactly where we wanted them. This is one of my favorite parts of cultivation. You make a decision weeks earlier... then you wait. And eventually the plant gives you the answer. And right now? I'm very happy with the answer. ๐Ÿ’ก TWO LUMIFLORA LIGHTS โ€“ LET'S LIGHT UP THE LOWER CANOPY And this week we decided to take the under-canopy experiment one step further. We brought a second LumiFlora into the game. The first 150W full-spectrum LumiFlora was already helping us provide supplemental light underneath the canopy. But looking at the size and density of these plants... it simply felt like we could do more. The lower portions of the plants are naturally receiving less direct light from the main fixtures above. And with this much vertical structure, that becomes even more noticeable. So instead of trying to solve everything by removing more foliage, we're exploring another option: Give the lower canopy more light. And now we have two LumiFlora fixtures working underneath the plants. Both are 150W full-spectrum fixtures, with additional emphasis toward the red portion of the spectrum. The idea is simple: The main LEDs handle the upper canopy. The LumiFlora fixtures supplement the lower canopy. And the plant gets a more complete lighting environment from top to bottom. We're not trying to replace the main lights. We're complementing them. And now... we watch. ๐ŸŒธ Because that's the whole point of the experiment. We introduce something. We observe. We document. And then we let the plants tell us what they think. ๐Ÿ’ก THE UNDER-CANOPY LIGHTING DESIGN And because we're apparently incapable of doing anything in a boring way... ๐Ÿ˜‚ we decided not to simply place the two LED bars side by side. The LumiFlora bars are quite long, approximately 1.20 metres each, with a central section of around one metre. So instead of following the traditional side-by-side arrangement, we played around with the positioning. We've arranged them diagonally across the lower portion of the tent, running from corner to corner. And honestly? I really like the way it looks. It gives the lower canopy a much more interesting distribution of supplemental light rather than concentrating everything into one central area. And visually... it looks pretty damn cool too. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’ก๐ŸŒธ Sometimes the functional solution can also look beautiful. ๐ŸŒฟ LIGHT FROM ABOVE. LIGHT FROM BELOW. This is becoming one of the most interesting parts of the Blue Tent experiment. We're now looking at the plant as a three-dimensional structure. The main fixtures are providing the primary lighting from above. But the plant isn't flat. It has height. Branches. Layers. Lower flowering sites. Interior flowering sites. And all those areas don't necessarily receive the same amount of light from above. So we're experimenting with supplemental lighting underneath. The goal isn't to make some huge claim about what the lights will accomplish. The goal is to see. Will the lower flowering sites respond? Will the additional light help us maintain development deeper into the canopy? Will we see differences as flowering progresses? That's what makes this fun. We don't need to know the answer before we run the experiment. We're here to find out. ๐ŸŒธ FROST EVERYWHERE And I have to say this again... THE FROST. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ Oh my God. The whole tent is getting ridiculously frosty. The close-up photographs are becoming almost ridiculous. The sugar is showing up everywhere. The flowers. The sugar leaves. The surrounding structures. Everything is starting to sparkle. And this is one of those moments where you can finally see the genetics expressing themselves visually. We're not talking about potential anymore. We're looking at actual flowers developing in front of us. And Blue Waffle F1 Pheno A is putting on quite a show. ๐ŸŒฟ THE SECOND SCROG IS DOING ITS JOB The second SCROG continues to be one of those decisions I'm extremely happy we made. When we installed it, the plants were already getting too tall. The original SCROG had done its job beautifully during the vegetative phase. But with all the stretch that followed, we needed another layer of support. Now we're seeing why. The flowering branches are developing more weight. The structure is substantial. And the second net is helping keep everything organized and supported. We're not constantly moving branches anymore. We're not trying to reshape the plant. We're simply allowing the support structure to do its job. And that's exactly how I want it. The plant built the branches. We built the support. Now the flowers build the weight. Everyone has a job. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ AIRFLOW โ€“ STILL SPOTLESS The airflow situation is also working beautifully. The upper airflow continues circulating through the canopy. The additional lower fan keeps air moving underneath. The canopy was opened through the previous defoliation. And now the lower portion of the tent also has the supplemental lighting system. So we've got light and air working together throughout the structure. That's important. Adding more equipment underneath the canopy only makes sense if we're still maintaining good environmental movement down there. And right now? I'm extremely happy with how everything is working. No stagnant feeling. No obvious problem areas. Just good continuous circulation through the room. ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ THE EXTRACTION SYSTEM โ€“ STILL GIVING US SPACE Moving the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent a few weeks ago was another one of those decisions that keeps paying dividends. It gave us valuable vertical space. That allowed us to raise the main LEDs. That reduced the pressure we had on the tallest tops. And now we're able to maintain this enormous flowering structure without constantly fighting the ceiling. Sometimes the biggest improvements aren't made to the plant. They're made to the room around the plant. And this was definitely one of those changes. ๐Ÿ’ง IRRIGATION โ€“ ABSOLUTELY SPOTLESS And I have to give a little love to the irrigation system this week. Because honestly... I have absolutely nothing to complain about. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ It's working flawlessly. The plants are receiving their water consistently. The system is keeping up with their demand. And the drainage system is performing just as well. No drama. No problems. No complaints. Just doing its job. And when you have a flowering room this large and this thirsty, that consistency is incredibly important. The plants can concentrate on growing. We can concentrate on observing. And the irrigation system can quietly do its job in the background. That's exactly how I like it. ๐Ÿ’ง๐ŸŒฟ โš—๏ธ THE EC MYSTERY Now... there is one little thing that caught my attention this week. And I honestly don't have a definitive explanation for it. ๐Ÿ˜‚ We didn't intentionally change the reservoir recipe. The nutrient mix remained the same. We're still using: PLAGRON Hydro A โ€” 2.2 ml/L PLAGRON Hydro B โ€” 2.2 ml/L PLAGRON Hydro Roots โ€” 1 ml/L PLAGRON Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L And yet... the EC came out slightly lower this time. Current recorded EC: 2.24 mS/cm. Last week we were around 2.49 mS/cm. Why? Honestly... I don't know. ๐Ÿ˜‚ My first thought is that the rainwater may simply have been a little softer this time. But that's only a possibility. I don't want to invent an explanation when I don't actually know. The important thing is that the plants are looking fantastic. They're healthy. They're developing beautifully. The foliage looks good. The flowers are progressing. So for now? We're simply recording the observation. No panic. No unnecessary correction. Just: "Interesting." ๐Ÿ˜‚ And we continue watching. ๐ŸŒฑ SOMETIMES THE PLANTS MATTER MORE THAN THE NUMBER This is another reason I like documenting all the environmental data. Numbers are incredibly useful. But they're only one part of the story. You can have a number that looks slightly different from last week and still have plants that are absolutely thriving. And that's exactly what we're seeing here. The EC is a little lower. The plants? Beautiful. The flowers? Amazing. The frost? Absolutely insane. The irrigation? Perfect. The drainage? Perfect. So we're not going to chase the number simply because it changed. We're going to observe the entire system. And right now... the system looks fantastic. ๐ŸŒธ CURRENT GROW CONDITIONS ๐ŸŒธ Flowering: Week 11 ๐Ÿ“ Height: approximately 145 cm ๐Ÿ’ก Light schedule: 12/12 โ˜€๏ธ Day temperature: 28ยฐC ๐ŸŒ™ Night temperature: 27ยฐC ๐Ÿ’ง Relative humidity: 63% โš—๏ธ pH: 6.01 โšก EC: approximately 2.24 mS/cm ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Solution temperature: 24.9ยฐC ๐ŸŒฑ Substrate temperature: 24ยฐC ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ COโ‚‚: approximately 666 ppm ๐Ÿ’ฆ Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 8 L CURRENT NUTRIENT RECIPE PLAGRON Hydro A โ€” 2.2 ml/L PLAGRON Hydro B โ€” 2.2 ml/L PLAGRON Hydro Roots โ€” 1 ml/L PLAGRON Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L PLAGRON pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L PLAGRON pH Minus โ€” 0.03 ml/L ๐Ÿ’ก LumiFlora Under-Canopy Lighting: 2 ร— 150W Full Spectrum ๐ŸŒธ THE FLOWERS ARE NOW THE MAIN STORY This is probably the biggest change from where we were a few weeks ago. Earlier, the main story was: Stretch. Height. Canopy management. Defoliation. LED clearance. Support. Airflow. Now? The flowers are the story. And they're telling a beautiful one. The branches are loaded with developing flowers. The structure is holding beautifully. The frost is increasing. And the whole room has that feeling of: "Something special is happening here." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ That's the feeling I love most. Not knowing exactly how the final result will look. But seeing enough clues to know that we're heading somewhere very interesting. ๐Ÿ”ฌ THE F1 UNIFORMITY CONTINUES TO AMAZE ME And once again, I have to mention something that keeps catching my attention. These F1 genetics are looking incredibly uniform. The four girls are sharing the same room. Same environmental conditions. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same lighting philosophy. Same structural work. And they're responding with an almost uncanny similarity. There are individual differences, of course. That's exactly why we're keeping separate diaries. But when I look across the room now... it's almost like looking at different expressions of the same idea. And honestly? That's fascinating. Maybe the biggest differences will reveal themselves later. Maybe they'll become more obvious as the flowers mature. Maybe the similarities will continue all the way to harvest. That's what we're here to discover. ๐ŸŒธ THE QUIET PART OF THE GROW IS GETTING LOUD This is funny because technically... we're doing less. But visually? The plants are becoming more impressive every week. ๐Ÿ˜‚ We're not training. We're not performing major defoliation. We're not rearranging the room. We're not fighting stretch. We're not solving emergencies. We're simply maintaining the environment. And yet... the flowers are getting bigger. The frost is increasing. The structure is becoming more impressive. And every photograph seems to show more development than the previous one. This is the reward for all the work that came before. ๐ŸŒฟ FROM BUILDING THE PLANT TO WATCHING THE PLANT FINISH We spent weeks building this plant. Now we're watching it finish. The vegetative period created the framework. The SCROG organized it. The stretch tested it. The defoliation opened it. The second SCROG supported it. The raised LEDs gave it room. The additional airflow keeps it breathing. The irrigation keeps it supplied. The nutrition keeps it moving. And now the LumiFlora lights are helping us explore the lower canopy. At this point... there's very little I want to change. I want to let the plant show us what all of that work was worth. ๐ŸŒธ WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW The questions are becoming much more exciting. How much larger will these flowers become? How much more frost will develop? How will the lower canopy respond to the two LumiFlora fixtures? Will the additional supplemental light make a visible difference as flowering progresses? How much weight will the second SCROG eventually need to support? And perhaps the biggest question of all... what are these beautiful F1 girls going to look like when they finally reach maturity? I have absolutely no idea. And I love that. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ ๐Ÿ™ FINAL THOUGHTS โ€“ THIS IS WHY WE GROW If I had to describe this week in one sentence, it would probably be: "We didn't do much... and everything looks amazing." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ And honestly? I'll take that. The plants are healthy. The bud formation is incredible. The frost levels are getting ridiculous. The second SCROG is working beautifully. The airflow is performing exactly as planned. The irrigation is spotless. The drainage is spotless. The main lighting is doing its job. And now we've added a second LumiFlora to complement the first and give the lower canopy even more supplemental light. We even changed the positioning of those long LED bars into a more interesting corner-to-corner arrangement. And I have to say... I really like it. It looks good. It distributes the light in a way that makes sense for this huge lower canopy. And it gives us another part of the experiment to watch. As for the slightly lower EC? We don't know exactly why. Maybe the rainwater was softer. Maybe there was another small variable. Maybe it's simply one of those little differences that happen in a real system. The important thing is that the plants are showing us no reason to panic. So we're not going to chase numbers. We're going to observe. And right now... what we're observing is absolutely beautiful. Blue Waffle F1 Pheno A is standing there at approximately 145 cm, covered in flowers and increasingly covered in frost. The structure is strong. The canopy is organized. The support is ready. The lower lighting is installed. The irrigation is flawless. The drainage is flawless. And the whole room is beginning to look like something very special. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ We've done the hard work. Now we get to enjoy the show. Let's see what the next few weeks bring. Because if the frost continues at this rate... Oh boy. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ We're going to have some very interesting photographs coming. Until next week... Keep watching. Keep observing. Keep the environment stable. And let these beautiful girls do what they do best. Grow. Flower. Frost up. And shine. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ™ A HUGE THANK YOU A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these beautiful Blue Waffle F1 genetics phenotype by phenotype. Thank you to PLAGRON for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these girls through this incredible flowering journey. A massive thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic irrigation and drainage system that continues working absolutely flawlessly and keeping these thirsty girls supplied. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, the curved scissors and the clip fans that have all become such important parts of this project. And a huge thank you to LumiFlora for providing the 150W full-spectrum under-canopy lighting that we're now using in pairs to explore supplemental lighting throughout the lower canopy. I'm really excited to see what this experiment brings. And of course... thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document all of this. The successes. The mistakes. The unexpected moments. The experiments. The lessons. And now... the frost. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ Most importantly, thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. We're getting deeper into flowering now. The plants are looking incredible. The frost is everywhere. The flowers are stacking beautifully. The systems are working. And we're finally at the stage where we can sit back a little and enjoy the work we've spent so many weeks building. Four girls. One room. Same environment. Incredible F1 uniformity. Two LumiFlora under-canopy lights. One very frosty future. Let's see what comes next. ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒฟ Until next week... More frost. More flowers. More observation. And hopefully... even more reasons to stand in front of the tent and say: "Oh my God..." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ’™ Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’™

When I harvested the plant it already showed signs of revegetation and after 2 weeks that I just observed its behavior, I now believe that it is heading to grow back vigorously and so I will start the feeding for vega. Att Quando realizei a colheita da planta ela ja demostrava sinais de revegetaรงรฃo e apรณs 2 semanas as quais apenas observei o seu comportamento, acredito agora que ela se encaminha para voltar a crescer com vigorosidade e sendo assim vou comeรงar a alimentaรงรฃo para vega.
