Going into week 9, seeing some frost on the leaves and the aroma is stronger and so nice. She looks great after the heavy defoliation last week, contrary to opinions from a few critics. Sometimes I like to find out for myself, I read many different viewpoints on defoliation and I decided to try. And it worked. Peace friends, happy growing! 🌱👍

It's the beginning of the third week – the plant is actively growing outward. The foliage is healthy. I've been watering it from the very beginning with water and CalMag and acid to a pH of 6. By the end of the week, the sprout had reached the fourth node. It was time to trim the shoots below the third node and top the plant above the third. Then, repeat the process. The main grow box is currently occupied; this procedure trains the plant and produces 4–8 large main colas, which will later be supported by a ScrOG net.

I missed to take some fotos ore a video. So I chooses to show where the soil is made: in Comfreys garden. Unfortunately I‘m not allowed to grow there my weed. It‘s a community garden with privat owned ground but with a lot of neighbors. The German law allows to grow cannabis in your own garden for private use but not in a private garden situated in a community garden club (Kleingartenverein). But anyway I’m lucky because we have a very sunny balcony, too. Next week more fotos…

Early morning day 1 we got a good rain. The girls loved it. This week has cooler night time Temps, storms, and low 90s upper 80s f day time Temps. Plants are getting into the super soil and out of the safe zone of plain organic soil. Next time I'll use a stronger mix of liquid feed for the safe zone. The plants didn't get enough nutes to grow fast. I'm still dialing in super soil/organic so there's a learning curb. I'm a little worried about topping these as I got a late start outdoors. I topped the biggest this week. The smallest got ravaged by an insect so I'll just let it grow out naturally.

- WEEK 8 - ----- Day 50 ----- Woo hoo. End is in sight and the plants are still PACKING the pounds on. Big Bertha is 11 inches long, 2 inches wide. The hidden massive Gertha is 8 inches in circumference in the middle in just bud alone and isn't even the largest part of this 8 inch long nug... Fed 1150ppm 13L 6.4pH 5-15+ days left. 2-4 days till I start looking into trichome finish period. Forgot to take a regular full shot and shots of tropicanna glookies. oh well. Later tonight if I remember. I stopped bud candy cause I'm using a lot more molasses and its literally a sugar in itself so why put in bud candy which is just sugars... seems redundant. ----- Day 51 ----- Easy day of watching. Some nice bud shots today. The whole basement smells of weed candy. Back right Tropicanna is pineapple gummy bear, front right is just gummy bear. Wedding Cake is like sweet weed, you get the regular smell of pot but instead of skunky its sweet but that Tropicanna is just alllll candy no weed smell at all. I did the first 60x shot today. 5% cloudy 95% clear on the Tropicanna. Long ways to go. I'll be doing the Wedding Cake later tonight, got side tracked. ----- Day 52 ----- Fed 1200ppm 6.4ph 12 Liters Tropicanna Glookies is going full blown purple. Should be covered in dark purple coloration within the week. Wedding Cake is just fat. Super fat large nugs. Easy day. Forgot to take trichome pics of Wedding Cake will do that later today probably. Well, the largest bud is 1 foot in circumference now... rofl ----- Day 53 ----- Easy day. Fed some water, they're getting thirsty again. I'm going to do a 13L feeding , then next day 5L water. So that's what I did today. I'll be dropping the Kool Bloom Powder & CaliMagic by day 56 and only feed 1/2 strength molasses only. Will pick the buds off as they finish, not gonna do 1 big chop unless it manages to turn out that way. Colors are going wild. Will check Wedding Cake & Tropicanna trichomes before lights out will update pics then. ----- Day 54 ----- 1300ppm 13L 6.4ph fed Here's some pics. Wedding Cake is nowhere near ready by the trichomes. Barely any cloudy, no amber. ----- Day 55 ----- Tropicanna really turning purple now starting to infect the leaves at top of canopy. Can't wait for what Day 63 holds for all these ladies. Not going to check trichomes till probably day 58 Easy day, last fert feed with chemical nutrients tomorrow, after that its just molasses. ----- Day 56 ----- Didnt even bother with ppm/pH. Molasses. roughly 30-50ml in 13-15 Liters. Smoked a tester of the Tropicana Glookies (Sativa) God daaaamn. Shits fire. Extremely strong. Very Cerebral and its not even at its peak yet... I've chosen Tuesday as Harvest day for both Tropicana Glookies plants (they're clones of each other) A single Wedding Cake testing nug is drying right now, I'll judge when it gets harvested based on the high, and if not sufficiently near my level i'll give it 2 days before drying another nug and trying again. I want heavy ass couch-lock. 6 days for Tropicana. Probably 8 for Wedding Cake. Will send samples off to Canvas Labs for testing like I've done in the past and will be making both edibles and bubble hash and will post those here as they happen. Once thats done I will see if I can restart veg mode in this grow, and if so I will keep this going until the plants die (and just make side diaries for each individual plant variety grow). Should be interesting. *** update *** Where'd the 1.5 Liter water bottle go? rofl

Day one of the 12th week, cutting off the nutrients I feel like it is time to flush. And what I did wrong in the beginning of this grow, was that I placed the plants too far away from the light the first 4 weeks of veg or so. My thought was too make the plants stretch taller in the beginning, but disregarding the par, the ppfd I realized too late that the branches did not get what they needed for length. These plants could have been much larger just for growers information.

🌱 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.

Aug 29: PGC is doing great. I’m still using the far red light every night at dusk as a bloom booster. Dont take flash pics unless you follow it up right away with the red light. Noticed several ladybugs doing their pest control magic. Sep 3: wow, all the buds are really filling in. Very nice. Will start getting cooler nights soon so maybe some purple colour for this one.

this week our evo's arrived! they have quite a bit of power, much better than the Q-series. today is day 28 and the ladies look great! they are already starting to smell nice

This cross between Cherry Pie and Chemdawg and do-si-dos It smells vaguely like brain cake. However, chempie has a stronger aroma than brain cake. strong terpenes of linalool, and the smoke was quite harsh and powerful with each hit. The nicest form and most substantial buds in this crop

Week 11 done, I’ve started flushing this girl with just plain ph balanced water, just waiting for more ambers to emerge on her before she gets the good ole chop lol

Esta semana la GG auto 1 se le ha doblado la punta por el viento que hizo

Me está gustando mucho como huele Muy frutal Estoy agradecido ya que las plantas resistieron y siguen creciendo Revisando parámetros y limpiando Alistando para el día de corte

So this was my first ever Tiny Pot 👈 wasn't sure if I could even do it 🤔 But instead it was a blast , she grew even better then expected , so much so I may do another 👍 She was a hungry plant the hole cycle, figuring out her feeding became a great learning tool , I gained alot of experience growing this one 😀 I used rain water the hole grow , to which she required feeding daily , some day twice 👈 👉I added 4 straws in week 4 to help with air flow to the roots and it worked 💪 So check week 4 to see what I did 😀 👉 Big thanks to all my Growmies out there in GD land 👈 Much appreciated 🙏 Thanks To MarsHydro for the TS1000 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14👉 Every Week NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14👉 Weeks 2 & 3 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30👉 Weeks 4 to 8 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34👉 Weeks 4 & 9

D33 15/04 one is flowering hard and the other one is stunted/taking its time Healthy enough at least

So far, so good.

The Shogun is doing well, best of the photoperiod

Going to update a smoke report after drying. Going to do a 3 stage sampling on the cure to find the best time. Small bowl with no cure, small bowl after 1 week cure. If needed, one more test on the 2nd week of curing. Got smaller buds on this one but that is ok. Moreso excited on profile. Going to update the yield tonight

day 27. She took very well to the low stress training. She’s looking beautiful. Her little pistols are in pre flower. I’m very happy with how she is coming along. Looks bushy green happy and healthy 🔥
