🥒 Project Blue Tent – Week 6 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno A (Folder 14A) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If this is your first time joining the adventure, welcome! Project Blue Tent follows four individual plants, each documented in its own dedicated diary from seed to harvest. Every plant shares the exact same environment, lighting, irrigation schedule, nutrition and care. By keeping every environmental variable as consistent as possible, we can truly appreciate how each phenotype expresses its own unique personality while also showcasing the remarkable stability of modern F1 genetics. Today we're checking in with Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Six – A Canopy Coming Together This week has been all about refinement. Rather than chasing vertical growth, the focus has shifted entirely toward building the widest and most even canopy possible. Every day brings a little more progress as branches continue filling the SCROG net, gradually transforming four individual plants into one uniform sea of green. One small change compared to last week's report is the official canopy height. Although Plant A measured around 66 cm previously, I lowered and tightened the SCROG net across the entire tent. As a result, all four plants are now sitting at approximately 60 cm, with every centimetre of new growth being directed horizontally through the screen instead of upwards. That's exactly the objective at this stage. We're no longer trying to grow taller plants. We're growing a larger canopy. Every branch guided sideways today will become another well-positioned flowering site tomorrow. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A Plant A continues to impress me every single day. She remains the most vigorous plant inside the Blue Tent, responding to every bit of training with explosive new growth. Even after being topped and now spending her days tucked beneath the SCROG net, she simply refuses to slow down. Every branch seems eager to reach for the next opening, making the daily training routine both enjoyable and incredibly rewarding. The internodal spacing remains nice and tight, the stems continue thickening, and her foliage has developed a rich, healthy green colour that tells me she's enjoying everything the environment is providing. One thing I particularly appreciate is how well she's balancing strength with flexibility. The branches are becoming sturdy enough to support future flowers while remaining pliable enough to guide gently beneath the screen without complaint. She's proving herself to be an absolute pleasure to train. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ Working with the SCROG As the canopy develops, the SCROG net is becoming more than just a training tool. It's now helping shape the entire structure of the grow. Every day I spend a few minutes gently guiding branches into empty spaces, allowing the plant to expand naturally instead of allowing individual tops to dominate the canopy. It's a surprisingly relaxing process. No aggressive bending. No rushing. Just small adjustments made consistently over time. Watching those empty squares slowly disappear is one of my favourite parts of vegetative growth, and this week the Blue Tent has really started looking like one unified canopy instead of four separate plants. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment Consistency continues to be one of the biggest advantages inside the Blue Tent. Average conditions throughout the week remained: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 30°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 58% • 🥥 Root Zone Temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 18°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.92 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: Approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • 💧 Irrigation: 1.2 litres per plant per day These stable conditions continue allowing the plants to focus entirely on vigorous vegetative growth while recovering effortlessly from training. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding & Irrigation The feeding schedule remains unchanged this week. Sometimes, when everything is working exactly as planned, the best decision is simply to stay consistent. Each plant continues receiving approximately 1.2 litres of nutrient solution every day through the Mars Hydro automatic drip irrigation system. The slow and consistent delivery keeps the coco evenly moist while ensuring the roots always have access to fresh nutrients. Once the solution passes through the substrate, the automatic drainage system removes the runoff beneath the grow bags, preventing old nutrient solution from accumulating around the root zone and helping maintain a clean, stable growing environment. Current feeding schedule: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L The rich green colour across the canopy tells me the plants are extremely happy with this feeding regime, and for now I see no reason to make any adjustments. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A Every week this phenotype reinforces the same first impression she gave me shortly after germination. She's energetic. Confident. And incredibly responsive. She doesn't simply recover from training. She seems to thrive because of it. The combination of vigorous branching, compact internodal spacing and healthy foliage is creating exactly the kind of plant I hoped for when starting this project. It's becoming easier every week to imagine how productive she'll be once flowering begins. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead The objective for next week remains beautifully simple. Continue filling the SCROG. Maintain the stable environment. Keep guiding each branch into its own space. Patience is the key at this stage. Every small adjustment made now will help create a flatter canopy, better light distribution and, hopefully, an even more productive flowering cycle in the weeks ahead. The Blue Tent continues moving exactly in the direction I was hoping for, and I can't wait to watch these ladies take the next step together. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these incredible Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow.

Till now all good! Except gg#4 …. Don’t want get in flower…. Add some dolomite powder and turn light at 100% ……………………………………………… 040523: all plants are good! Gg#4 still not flower….

3rd week started with The 1st topping and by pinning down the girls.

I am increasingly convinced that I will have to cut GG3 first (probably at the end of this week, given the darkening of all those trichomes) and in at least a week (if not more) GG2 come on girls!

✋Wk12:Trichome Hunting and Changes in diet. 👉The week has shown to be not just the usual fun of having cannabis in the flowerings stage, but also the frustration of having cannabis in the flowering stage. The fun is the funky stank that hits me in the face as I open the tent each time, then gazing at the magical flowers as they get plumper and fuzzier. The frustration comes from the seemingly slow motion pace the plants are taking as I dream of harvest day. 👉The 3 gallon plant has reduced its volume of liquid it consumes. However, I have only slightly reduced the total volume of solution given each time. I have kept the EC around 1.3. The run-off has climbed quickly between fertigations, and I have done a couple of H2Only irrigations. The runoff EC spiked on the last day of this week. I did another H2Only irrigation followed by regular nutrients. I have seen issues on the upper leaves that could be nutrient related, or maybe light stress, perhaps its moody and hates me for not spending more time with it. I have been keeping the lights at around 17” from the top of the main cola. The lights driver is turned fully on (light is rated at 150W). Its counter intuitive to me that the light would be causing light stress since its only 150w. I would think a much more intense light would cause that or one kept a lot closer. So I have pulled the light to its max height. I may dial back the driver a tad. The buds are getting very bulky and are very dense. I hope they stay that way and not foxtail like its tent mate is doing. 👉The one gallon plant is starting to fade. Its larger leaves are mostly yellow. I take the yellow leaves when they begin to dry up. Some just fall off when touched. I’ve done some extensive trichome hunting and have only spotted only scant few ambers. Most are still clear, but there are lots of cloudy ones too. Very hard to differentiate if they are in the direct light of one of the grow lights (or any led light). The led light makes them all look cloudy, but indirect light shows most are still clear. I will continue checking each day for the status of the trichomes. I will harvest when almost all are cloudy with only a few clears remain. I have kept its solution volume at 1.5l at the low range EC of nutrient solution. I have also given a couple of H2Only irrigations to lower the EC runoff. The buds are sort of fox tailing but look very much like the breeders picture on the product page. The cola are long and getting bulky, but probably not very dense. They are super frosty and the calix’s are getting very large, much like the gorilla glue I grew was. The aroma of the funky stank is strong enough to be smelled outside (I vent outside). The up close smell is different than the tent smell…still creamy sweet caramel…so weird to me…I can’t wait to try it…in like 8 more weeks…sigh. I will harvest the plant when it says its ready. Almost there.😷

This week I Supercrop all the plants and spred them out over both lights. One more week of Veg and they are ready to explode Check me out on Instagram @growmorestressless

Estos videos fueron echos el 25 de diciembre de 2021. Creciendo poco a poco, se les hizo poda de bajos y tutorado. feliz navidad les desean las babys! ig: @micro.semilla

I put plants into 48 hours of dark to replenish thc and reduce chlorophyll an sugars..helps reduce cure time..

Top dressed the soil day 19 with organic fertilizer. The blue strains are growing fast and bigger than the others. The two LSD’s look completely different, one looks healthy and growing strong. The other, has very light leaves. Im not sure why. it’s in the same soil with the same nutrients and gets the same water as the other plants. Any thoughts? Other than that, things are going well! The Ladies are growing rapidly. Should be ready to LST and tie them down in a few days.

Week 18/3 - 24/3

The beautiful girl has started growing right now. I haven't fertilized her yet. I've done some topping and removed the small leaves. She's feeling great. 💚🌱

10/20 Day 86. Not really sure when to chop right now. I was hoping for a nice fade with some reds and purples but maybe it just won’t happen. Everything looks and smells great though. 10/24 Day 90. Finally getting some more leaf fade to go along with the trichs getting more cloudy. There’s still some clear trichomes in the mix so I’ll keep going a few more days, but at least I’m finally getting some signs she’s close.

Shes almost ready. We are in day 44 and i think will chop next week.

Hi All, The week was pretty uneventful, the plant is developing nicely. I removed a leave here and there to make sure maximum light exposure in the middle of the canopy is guaranteed. The buds stopped stretching so I’ll will stop with the boost and add the pk 13/14 to help with the fattening. Dried and smoked a few of the lowest popcorn buds and they are by all means not there, but smell and taste pretty awesome. I have also added a few pictures of the new box that I have built for the cuttings. The box was build pretty low budget, however I will still need to add a better light source as I am currently running on only 60W veg lights. Was planning to buy the Greenception GCx5solo 150W full spectrum LED, as it would fit exactly Inside the box.

Start of week 8. Week 7 went well with this girl. Her nutrient consumption went down as she did not need extra feeding during the week. The buds on this girl are incredibly sticky, more sticky then the OG Kush, but she doesn't have much smell, just a little wiff of fruit. She'll be flushed in 5-7 days, depending on the trichomes. This appears to be another great grow with this strain, but will be the last I grow of her for a while.
