This week I had to fight against a rapidly dropping pH value. Starting at 5.8 on Monday, it soon dropped to 5.4 on Thursday. Yes, I calibrated my pH meter and that's when I added some baking soda. That stuff works really well for my with regards to raising the pH value. Two teaspoon handles and it shot back to 6.2. I thinned my additional nutrient solution with the half volume of RO water to keep the EC down. 1.8 seems to be too much for this beauty but around 1.7 looks spot on.

TRIPLE G ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS WEEK #24 overall Week #7 Flower This week she she really starting to show her genetics she's covered in trichomes her buds are nice and dense and she smells great 👍!! She's a bad little plant!! Stay Growing!! ROYAL QUEEN SEEDS TRIPLE G

I'm waiting for the last plant of this cycle to mature, which is the Sticky Beast.

Elas estão correndo muito Oooooooooo good good

New Money - Compound Genetics Week 3 of Bloom 🌸 She has finished her stretch and is working hard of developing her flower! No real scent just yet, hopefully that comes in over the next few days. She has thin but sturdy lateral stems with a compact canopy and looks really healthy, so all good so far 🙌🏻 The temperatures have been up and down over the last week or so, so I've added the AlgAMix into her feed to help the plant deal with the fluctuating. ✂️ I've lollipopped her again, removing all leaves stems and budsites below the top 7 nodes from the canopy - these lower branches won't develop into anything and will more than likely cause problems later down the line. I've also removed a couple of the larger fan leaves from her center, to improve airflow and light penetration 💪🏻 💧 Watered every three days with 4L of RO water, with nutrients mixed individually, in order and then finally, I pH'd the solution to 6.3. I've increased some of her nutrients and added the Alg-A-Mix as a precaution to any temperature fluctuating that might occur this time of year. 💡 PPFD: ~740 ♒ VPD: 1.44kPa 🌱 Days from seed: 79 🌸 Days in Bloom: 20

23.08.24: I've done considerable defoliation. Also, FBP1 and FBP3 have grown all over the place. The stems are also relatively weaker as they've grown so much. (Photos above). Being as the plants were looking a bit delicate, I added some string and tied the side branches lightly to keep them a bit more compact. Additionally, FBP2 has a considerable amount of buds on the main cola. So I've added a plant stake, and I just tied string around the stake and the main stalk. The humidity has been able to stay under 53%. That's with 3 dehumidifiers. So I'm pretty sure that's about as good as it will probably be. I've had to lower the watering frequency on FBP3, as I overwatered only this plant. and also added too much Nitrogen in. As a result all the leaves are looking droopy. I'm really not sure how this will pan out, as they all still look like they're weeks away from harvest. Anyway, I'll update throughout the week. 25.8.24: I was tending to the garden a majority of the day, and realised that a branch had broken on FBP2. I acted quickly to insert plant stakes, to provide the heavily laden branches additional support. See photos above. The branch was bent or snapped, but still in one piece. I used duct tape to carefully put it back together. Before making a stake for it. Silica, apparently wasn't quite enough to get the FBP2 through the whole way. The flowers are very heavy and dense. I have also given the plants water yesterday with concentrations of the following nutrients, per plant. ● 9ltr of dechlorinated tap water with 6ml of cal-mag, 3ml of Ecothrive Flourish, 6ml of Xpert Nutrients Bloom Booster. I have also added cinnamon top dress after watering, as I have noticed some fungus gnats. I checked the trichomes through one of my loupes yesterday too, and nearly all are still glass like in appearance, with some cloudy here and there. I'm definitely going to have some time left on these girls. I did check the PH if my soil on all plants as I was concerned about nutrient lock out on FBP3. All pots tested out at 7.0 Ph exactly, before and after watering. Thanks for reading my diary 😊

Bubble og I still have 4 of these guys going. A few of them are still dark green and pretty decent growers they have thiner leaves. I'm sure a few of these will be on the chopping block later down a few of them just have crappy start growth and they need the humidity at 75% or above 100% the time with the light lower than normal or they start to shrivel up. That's not all of them just a couple. Also I am only going to flower 8 plants out if the 12 seedling and I have 5 strains going so can't have half my plants bubble og (wish I had room to grow the full 12 plants at a time) It's looking like a good start to a week the plants are strong they are getting to the point I can let the dried dry out completely. I'm thinking by the end of this week the plants will be starting to be sold. Last week I put all the plants into my bigger 2x4 tent with my medicgrow mini sun 2 the 500w version. Only a few of the plants were ready for that light. Seems like the only plants that really have good resistance and have a strong start are the weedseedsexpress.com seeds. Shout out to weedseedsexpress.com for the strong plants. I ended up putting all the plants back into my 2x2 tent with the 55w amazon light it has alot more blue light in its spectrum. It's kinda weird b4 I switched the plants to the 2x4 tent they were getting 220umol under my amazon 55w led then when I put them under the 500w light 25% strength about 50in from plants and they were getting only about 195umol in that tent but it was stressing most the plants. I assume a larger light has more side lighting hitting the plants. I think when useing larger lights it's good to measure umols from the top but also coming from the sides. I think durring seedling stage they only need about 50% the umols coming from the side the plants as the top is receiving. When I put the plants back in the small tent about the same umols as they were getting b4 the switch and they were still a little stressed. So for a few days I put the small light at the top the tent giving them 100umols for a few hrs then 130umols the rest the day.

Man she's really coming along now!! I'm really happy with this grow. Only 2nd one ever and not too bad!! I'm more then happy with this Gorilla Glue, She hasn't given me any real problems so far! Hoping she bulks up some this week! Before I start the ripen next week... 🤞🤞🤘🤘🤙 7/30 left to drink 7/31 added water, 3.5 cal mag 8/1 left to drink 8/2 left to drink 8/3 added water, 3ml cal mag 8/4 left to drink 8/5 added water, full feeding Micro 9.6ml Gro - Bloom 19.2ml Cal mag 15ml Bud candy 17.5ml Big bud 17.5ml Hydroguard 8ml 3 gal = 11.3L Record kept here: https://1drv.ms/x/s!AmTQ-7u9iyH6kFWgDNVqoDB1_CY1 👋👋👋Hey,

💜 Week 5 – Purple CousKush Auto (Pheno B) Same Genetics, A Different Story One of the greatest reminders that nature always has the final word is watching multiple phenotypes grow side by side. This Purple CousKush has shared every step of the journey with her sister. The same germination conditions. The same Plagron feeding schedule. The same Future of Grow lighting. The same Mammoth tent. The same 12/12 flowering schedule from seed. Yet she has decided to tell an entirely different story. While some plants rush into flower and others focus on stretch, this beautiful lady has invested her energy into building a compact, incredibly healthy structure before fully committing herself to bloom. She’s taking her time. And I’m perfectly happy to let her. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development At 66 cm tall, this phenotype has developed into a wonderfully balanced and compact plant with exceptional vigour. The first thing that catches my attention every time I walk into the tent is just how lush she looks. Her foliage is thick, rich green and incredibly healthy, giving her a full appearance despite her more restrained vertical growth. Flowering is now clearly underway. Fresh pistils are appearing at every growing tip and along the internodes, confirming that she’s fully transitioning into bloom. She simply isn’t in any hurry, and that’s perfectly fine. The spacing between nodes remains excellent, allowing light to penetrate deep into the canopy while creating dozens of promising future flowering sites. She’s building the foundations first. The flowers will follow. ⸻ 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions Like the rest of the Project Blue Tent, environmental conditions remained very stable throughout the week. * 12/12 lighting schedule from seed * Future of Grow Black Series LED providing approximately 850 PPFD * Mammoth Pro grow tent * Day temperatures around 31°C * Relative humidity averaging 72% * CO₂ levels around 639 ppm Despite the warmer summer temperatures, this phenotype has remained calm and vigorous throughout the week. Leaf posture has been excellent, colour remains beautifully uniform, and the plant continues to show absolutely no signs of stress. Healthy roots create healthy plants, and this girl certainly looks like she’s enjoying life. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program This Purple CousKush continues to be hand-watered rather than connected to the AutoPot system. Growing in a 15 L Plagron Lightmix container, she received approximately 1 litre of nutrient solution per watering. This week’s feeding consisted of: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L The feeding schedule continues to match her needs perfectly. The deep green foliage, steady growth and healthy new shoots all suggest she’s receiving exactly what she requires while gradually shifting her focus from vegetative growth into flowering. Sometimes consistency really is the best strategy. ⸻ 🌸 Phenotype Notes Comparing this plant with her sister perfectly illustrates why I enjoy documenting individual phenotypes instead of treating every plant as if they were identical. They come from the same seed pack. They’ve received the same care. They’ve experienced the same environment. Yet they’re expressing themselves in wonderfully different ways. This phenotype is slightly slower entering flower, but she compensates with an incredibly sturdy frame, beautiful branching and dense, vibrant foliage that gives her a very robust appearance. She’s not behind. She’s simply following her own genetic rhythm. That’s one of the reasons I love growing from seed—every plant has its own personality waiting to be discovered. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the next week I expect flowering to become much more obvious as the pistils continue multiplying across every branch and the first real bud sites begin to establish themselves. With her compact structure, balanced branching and excellent health, I’m excited to see how she fills out during the coming weeks. Sometimes the slower starters end up becoming the biggest surprises at harvest. We’ll simply keep providing a stable environment, consistent nutrition and plenty of patience while she writes the next chapter herself. ⸻ 💭 Final Thoughts Every phenotype teaches something different. This Purple CousKush reminds me that speed has never been the goal. Health, balance and consistency will always matter far more than racing toward the finish line. Watching her develop has been incredibly enjoyable because she’s never tried to imitate the other plants in the room. She’s simply growing exactly the way her genetics tell her to. As growers, sometimes our best decision is simply to observe, trust the process and resist the temptation to interfere. Nature has been doing this for millions of years. She knows what she’s doing. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey and sharing it with me week after week. Your support, encouragement, advice and conversations are a huge part of what makes GrowDiaries such an incredible community. A very special thank you to the amazing companies helping bring this project to life: 💜 Zamnesia for the fantastic genetics. 💜 Plagron for the trusted nutrition. 💜 Future of Grow for the incredible Black Series lighting. 💜 TrolMaster for helping keep every environmental parameter under control.

Until next week… Growers Love and happy growing, everyone! 🌱💚

Things are looking great. Now that it's September I thought I should really get that tomato roof up. But.... My idea of using stuff I already had didn't work out. So it looks like I'm headed to Lowe's on Wednesday! Barneys says 3rd or 4th week of this month, same as Critical Cure, but Cure is going to be ready much sooner (a week, maybe 2) than this Caramel, which makes sense since the Caramel is about 70% Indica vs the Cure being about 80% Indica.

Good week... she's grown a lot, is looking VERY strong - #1's stem is already pretty thick for such a young plant.... so I think I'm going to let her get a couple more nodes on her and then top and clone her... #2 is a little weaker so I think I might top her this week. I've put them both on an aggressive veg feed and they're both responding very nicely to it... such a difference from autoflowers! I find it fascinating..... so much so that I tend to rather ignore them... for example, I think I MAY have given them a drink of something only 4 or 5 times in their lives (they've just celebrated their 4th week from seed)... never any complaints, never saying "hey, fool - pay attention to me!" .... I glance at them once a day and move on.... Still trying to decide where in my yard they're going to be planted - but I've got at least 4 more weeks before I'll feel comfortable enough with the weather to go dig a hole for them... SHOULD also start some LST, I suppose.... going to be relying on LST a lot outdoors so I can hopefully avoid the bud rot that plagued me last year... Great fun! May 4 - I've decided I'm going to top #1 today and stick the top in Clonex, into a RootRiot and plunk it into a DWC bucket ... so while I'll have these two plants out in the yard waiting for an October harvest, I can flip the clone indoors for an earlier harvest to see if I like the strain at all.... Hmmm... maybe I'll do that to both of them and keep one in veg while I flip one of them... This is kind of cool - I'm learning about all the possibilities growing photoperiods gives you... just amazing! I'm like a kid in a candy store! LOL! I'll put up a video when I top and clone... but don't take it as gospel because this will be my first time and I don't REALLY know what the hell I'm doing... just having fun and experimenting! May 5 - Happy Cinco de Mayo! Didn't get around to topping and starting a clone yesterday... but I've just now posted up two videos - the first where I'm determining where to top - and the second, longer one, where I place the top I've just cut off into DWC to clone... or ATTEMPT to clone! LOL! God knows if this is going to work... if you've got any comments on what I've done, hints for a better way of doing things PLEASE comment below! I could use all the help I can get! Should I, for example, chop off the lower fan leaves of the top? Or are they needed for the top to survive? I can't help but think they're a pretty big drain on the poor thing... #1, which is the one I topped, is really showing me she needs to get outside in the yard... her roots are starting to peek through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot.... I THOUGHT a 2-gallon would be big enough to last at least a month and a half but..... I'm going to have to get serious about where to put these ladies!

Germination with no problems.

Still in the HPS tent but now they are under the LED again and doing pretty well as the roots are filling the pots out they are eating faster. Did a couple foliar feeds with the Growzyme at less than 1 ML/Gal which they seem to like. Hoping to get a little more vertical growth before they kick into flower. Also been doing some bottom feeding which I have been experimenting with a little bit. It seems to increase rate of growth and the plants seem a little happier when I do a few feeds like that in a row.

So far this has just been a crazy grow. Soil issues. Had to leave town for almost two weeks in the middle of the grow so watering wasn’t perfect. Grew this outdoor for a while then inside once the days became too short. Always learning though.

4 blue dream 1 is in coco 3 in soil with 30% perlite This will be my wintergrow everyday will be a struggle to keep the warm in some way, so for now i veg them under CFL bars and i throw a fleeze over the lights to keep them warm

Amo este fenotipo tanto como el otro esta genetica es magistral,cogollos compactos,pegajosos,super duros un aroma muy rico y agradable,no se puede pedir mas,este es el último riego que realizo con nutrientes a partir de ahora comienzo a lavar las raices por tanto solo regaré con agua con su ph bien ajustado a 6,5 para que ka planta se vaya alimentando de todo de lo que quede y eliminar cualquier resto que pueda quedar que empeora la calidad a la hora de fumar,exquisitez de 00 seed bank!

Over watered the wedding cake so I transplanted her into dry soil with food already in it but the food was 2 strong and burnt her so I quickly cut as many clones as I could (6) and trashed the rest of the plant so this grow is done but gonna replace this grow with a girl scout cookies got 2 of them so that's what's in the video there in fox farm ocean forrest soil they have not been fed yet growing kinda slow but looking very nice

9. Woche Der Auto RF3 Mix Pack von Fastbuds hat den neuen Topf gut angenommen, habe letzte Woche einen Lollipop gemacht, diese Woche werde ich den Düngerplan anpassen und auf Regelmäßigkeit setzen 😌😊

Looking good
