Despite the worm 🐛 eating some of the leaves...I am very happy with the plants vigorous growth. Had to resort to a spray solution to rid the bugs.

Week 16 Journal Update: Northern Lights Autoflower Sisters * Setup and Environment: Both Charlotte and Michaela are resting comfortably in their 10-gallon fabric bags, elevated off the deck surface on sturdy PVC risers. * Charlotte's Growth Style & Harvest Timeline: Growing as a distinct, tall vertical Christmas tree tower without a SCROG net or topping, Charlotte has reached peak maturity. With her trichomes showing heavy cloudiness alongside a strong mix of amber heads and ripening, complex aromas filling the air, she is scheduled to be harvested by Friday. * Michaela's Growth Style & Harvest Timeline: Featuring a low-profile, naturally structured form without topping or a SCROG net, Michaela is trailing slightly behind her sister in finishing up. Her trichomes are predominantly milky-white with developing amber, and her distinct ripening scent is continuing to build. She is slated to be harvested roughly two weeks after Charlotte. Update 7.31.26: DIY drying chamber. 36 gun safe box, 3" exhaust fan, vent holes in the bottom, bamboo drying rack and a service door

Kept an eye on her and basically tried to expose as many nodes and bud sites to as much light exposure as possible. The temperature is a bit cold with a cold wind. She seems to still be growing well albeit a bit on the slow side. Buds are forming with trichomes already visible.

STICKY BROCCOLI 🥦 / ZAMNESIA & PLAGRON HARVEST WEEK This lady produced some sticky buds and smells amazing!! She covered in trichomes and looks amazing. I don't think the pics will do any justice as to how well the buds look. It's been a great time to grow with everyone else and watch them along this journey. It's always cool to see how others grow the same plant, however get different results!! 😉 STAY GROWING MY FRIENDS 🧡!! THANK YOU 😊 FOR STOPPING BY AND TAKING A LOOK IT'S MUCH!! SPECIAL THANK YOU 😊 TO ZAMNESIA & PLAGRON FOR HOSTING THE GROW CONTEST!! STICKY BROCCOLI 🥦 / ZAMNESIA SEEDS

Day 62-30/01/23 #1 harvested!!! Day 64-01/02/23 #2 harvested!!! Day 68-05/02/23 #3 harvested

What a pleasure these Pinapple are to grow. I couldn't be happier with the way they are filling out the scrog net. My only question is how bushy is too bushy? I've had to trim out a serious amount of undergrowth and large central fan leaves. I think a combination of great genetics and the complete spectrum the 315s output is causing the canopy to be so so dense. I'm just hoping the buds fatten up too! I'm trying to leave them alone as much as possible and I'm no longer tucking them under the net. I'll leave them to recover from today's defoliation and do some more plucking next weekend. I've got a feeling this tent is going to look very different in 7 days time! Now on everyday watering. Keeping the EC below 2.0 and fluctuating PH from 5.7 to 6.1 throughout the week to uptake as many nutrients as possible. Mid week edit: Please check out my last 5 photos added at day 52. One of the 2 Pineapple Express I have in the tent is looking really tired and droopy. I cant seem to figure out what is causing it as the other Pinapple is happy and praying. I also have 2 Six Shooter and a Cream Cookies and both of those are happy and stacking on the bud. Temps are solid at 29 degrees light on and 21 dark. Feeding when required. They just look like they are lacking something. Some of the oldest fan leaves have brown rusty patches on them too. I've given each plant a Biosys Microbe tea today in place of a regular feed. Ive also emptied and scrubbed out my water tank and watering can. Hopefully that brings them round but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Day 53, I've turned the blurple LED off in the centre and also reduced to 18/6 light cycle. They just look so lifeless. Almost like they are sick of the light. If she recovers I'll try turning the LED back on next week.

Update

So we're in week 3 veg , they've mostly outgrown their mutated leaves now and looking strong.

Blüten werden langsam größer ....

first 2 plants are lemon cherry cookies auto and last one is frozen face auto the white stigmas and streaching side branches are streaching outwards I’ve done more lst and defoleation for light penetration to each bud site

Hi! How are you? No much since last update here. A lot of trichomes and resin and smell.

🌱 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. A massive thank you to Plagron for providing the outstanding Terra nutrient line that keeps Project Blue thriving, to Zamnesia for making this incredible journey possible, and to everyone following these individual phenotype diaries. Every comment, question, and bit of encouragement makes this adventure even more rewarding.A massive thank you to Plagron for providing the outstanding Terra nutrient line that keeps Project Blue thriving, to Zamnesia for making this incredible journey possible, and to everyone following these individual phenotype diaries.

Second week of flower has started They really grew after a heavy feeding Had to move my lights way up . LEDs tooo bright ..leaves were slightly curling

🌿😎. Day 50 01 Mar, Tues PM ♥️💛💚 Each got 2700 mL 1 CalMag, 0.5 Grow Big 1 Tiger Bloom, 1.5 Big Bloom Day 53 05 Mar, Thurs AM♥️💛💚 Each got 2700 mL Only put in Recharge. Day 59 07 Mar, Sat PM♥️💛💚 Each got 280 mL 1.5 CalMag, 0.5 Grow Big 1.5 Tiger Bloom, 1.2 Big Bloom Trying to water every 1.5 days at peak flower. Everything is steady, heavy indica plants. Buds look like they might get phhhaaaat!

Day 17 Both girls have been progressing nicely. Nice growth. Removed a male tentmate today. Pots are roughly half weight, may need water tomorrow or the day after. Day 18 Gave then both a neem oil top drench. Switched light schedule to take advantage of cooler night temps and lower electric use cost. Just gotta make sure I can prevent light leaks. (12p to 6p) Day 19 Gave both girls a light top fill of CocoLoco to reduce stretch. Great growth this past week.

She's looking super beautiful after the stretch,she looks strong and ready for full flower let's see how this beautiful California girl performs! 💚 🌱 ✌️
