Plants are currently drying 2+ months later. And next project au79

FastBuds - Forbidden Runtz Showdown We started another grow. This time we are going to start off with 2 sets of two auto's, after which we will start in three regulars right away. So we will double use the 18-hour schedule and try to save power that way. In addition to this challenge, we are going to do a Runtz Showdown between two respected breeders with comparable strains. Her opponent will be... drumroll: the Runtz XL Auto by Sweetseeds. Let's see where this will bring us. We did some witchcraft since we sowed the seeds by moonlight, on Imbolc; the pagan day of celebrating Bridget, the Goddess of Spring, we dedicate this grow to her. We asked for abundance and health, love and happiness and put the seeds in the ground. The Soil Of course, we started in our trusty organic super soil or living soil, I will include the recipe again for anyone wanting to emulate it. The Light And to help us again to hopefully get way over 600 grams this grow with the total grow of autos and regulars, the SP 300 by Mars Hydro will be helping us out again!

It’s smelling so sweet it’s unreal

Flower day 28. Buds starting to stack well on the Neon Icon plants, could be a little better on the Caddie Runtz. Had some very warm weather over the last week and was struggling with keeping the humidity down, VPD was peaking at 2, way too high. Temps went down so looking good at the moment.

Day 36: I bend the branches even more, cut off the top leaf that covered 2 buds, one of them is very small, I hope to give it at least a little chance to grow. This is a victim of a broken branch.

🥒 14B – Pickled Lemon Haze F1 | Week 3 The Second Sister Takes the Crown Welcome back to the Project Blue Tent, my little experiment where every plant receives individual attention from seed to harvest. For anyone joining the journey for the first time, this project follows multiple Zamnesia Genetics grown side-by-side inside the same environment. Every phenotype gets its own diary so we can truly appreciate how genetics express themselves under identical conditions. This week certainly wasn’t boring. A malfunction in the irrigation system flooded the entire tent, leaving every growbag sitting in far more water than intended. Thankfully, the problem was caught quickly, the system was repaired, and every bag was allowed to drain naturally. Thanks to the incredible aeration of Plagron Cocos Premium, the roots never complained, oxygen remained available, and the plants simply carried on growing as if nothing had happened. If anything, this little accident became another reminder that good substrates forgive our mistakes. And this beautiful Pickled Lemon Haze F1 was no exception. ⸻ Week 3 Development She has been an absolute pleasure to watch. Although sharing the same genetics as her sister, she’s already showing her own personality. Her structure became incredibly symmetrical during the week, producing thick internodes, broad leaves and, most importantly, exceptionally vigorous lower branching. Sometimes a plant tells you exactly what she wants. This one practically asked to be topped. Instead of growing vertically with a single dominant apex, she was already investing heavily into her side branches, making this the perfect candidate to redirect her energy and begin building a much wider canopy. Looking underneath the plant was enough to make the decision. Healthy secondary shoots were already racing upward, ready to become future main colas. ⸻ Why I Chose to Top This Plant Many growers see topping as simply cutting the tip off. It is actually much more than that. The main growing tip naturally produces auxins that suppress the lower branches through what’s known as apical dominance. By removing that single growing tip, the plant redistributes hormones and allows the side branches to take over. Instead of one dominant leader… …we create several. Since this Pickled Lemon Haze already had such impressive lower development, topping should allow those branches to explode with growth over the coming weeks, producing a much flatter, more even canopy. For indoor cultivation, that means: • Better light distribution • More productive flowering sites • Stronger structural balance • Easier canopy management Of course, topping is a high-stress technique, so timing matters. I only perform it when the plant is completely healthy, actively growing, and has enough established nodes to recover immediately. Judging by her response only days later, she barely noticed the haircut. ⸻ A Tiny Surgery Using the Zamnesia trimming scissors, I carefully removed the apical shoot just above the selected node. One of my favorite macro photographs this week captures the fresh cut perfectly. Looking through the lens, it almost resembles a tiny green well filled with crystal-clear sap. It is fascinating how much beauty exists in details we rarely notice with the naked eye. Nature never disappoints. The removed growing tip itself was almost too pretty to throw away. Sometimes I think photographers become sentimental about the strangest things. ⸻ Recovery Recovery has been outstanding. Within a very short time the remaining growth tips had already begun pointing upward, clearly responding to the hormonal redistribution. There is no sign of stress, drooping or stalled development. The stem continues thickening nicely, while the side branches seem eager to compete for dominance. Exactly what I hoped to achieve. ⸻ Environment The entire tent continues sharing the exact same environmental conditions. 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 67% 🌱 Root zone: 24°C 💡 Light schedule: 18/6 ⚡ EC: 1.61 💧 pH: 5.8 ? Pot size: 8 L Plagron Premium Growbag 💨 CO₂: Ambient (~450 ppm) Everything remains stable, giving the plants every opportunity to recover from both the flooding incident and the topping session without unnecessary stress. ⸻ Feeding As the plants continue accelerating their vegetative growth, I increased nutrition slightly. Current feeding per litre: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.6 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.6 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L • pH adjusted to 5.8 The slight increase in EC is already being rewarded with faster growth and richer colour throughout the canopy. The new growth remains bright lime green—a perfectly normal characteristic of rapidly dividing young tissue—while the older leaves continue holding a healthy medium green without burnt tips or nutrient deficiencies. Everything points toward a happy, hungry plant. ⸻ Looking Ahead Now comes the fun part. Over the next several days I’ll simply let nature do its work. The goal is to allow the two new dominant tops to establish themselves while the lower branches continue stretching upward. Once the canopy begins filling evenly, gentle LST will likely follow to keep every future flowering site exposed to as much light as possible. She has all the ingredients to become a beautifully balanced bush. ⸻ Thank you so much for stopping by and following another chapter of Project Blue Tent. Every week these plants continue reminding me that growing isn’t just about producing flowers—it’s about observing, learning, adapting and appreciating how incredibly resilient these genetics can be. I truly appreciate everyone who takes a few minutes to read, comment, share advice or simply enjoy the journey with me. Happy growing, and I’ll see you all next week! 🌱💙 ⸻ PS A huge thank you to all the amazing companies making this project possible. 💙 Zamnesia for the outstanding genetics, the fantastic trimming scissors that made this topping effortless, and for believing in this adventure from day one. ? Plagron for providing the Premium Growbags, Cocos Premium substrate and the Hydro nutrient line that continues delivering healthy, vigorous growth week after week. Your support allows this project to become the detailed educational diary I always dreamed of creating. Growers Love and see you all in Week 4! 🌿💙

The sherbert mimosa are still growing strong and I will bend them and tie them down today. Happy growing guys 👌💪💚

Stressful to say the least, Browning pistils from Very very early however no hermaphrodites. Just can’t get my finger on where they’re at week 5 just added PK 13/14 and now considering whether I should’ve done or not they are showing signs of been ready for harvest yet don’t look done

Oct 5: Bruce is doing great. I was getting worried she wouldn’t finish in time but she’s picked up the pace and the weather is still good. Sort of. Hitting zero tonight and high of +3 C tomorrow. After that it’s sunny for two weeks with highs near 20 C. She’s turned purple the last few days and is putting on weight. 👍👍 She also broke a limb when blown over (again). Removing big fan leaves that are shading bud sites. Oct 6: she’s beautiful. Removed some large fan leaves that were shading bud. Feels weirdly warm tonight. Still using the 730 nm far red light for a few seconds at dusk as a bloom booster. Now down to just over 11 h of daylight. Oct 10: looking good this morning. Oct 11: been removing fan leaves to get as much light on the buds as possible. Sunlight is weak and low to the horizon but this month continues being unseasonably warm. We’re usually getting quite hard frosts by now but the forecast is warm for another two weeks. Some nice purple showing from the lowish overnight temps though. I just checked, and yes, it has been “extremely hot” again for the last 30 days.

The harvest is coming soon also for Strawberry Gorilla and Orange Sherbet, news this week the strawberry pie has grown, who knows if it will make buds full of resin or seeds, maybe both? We will see! the story continues...

So starting the 3rd week of flower. All but one plant speeding ahead towards dank. The lights below LED continue at a fast pace, I think it’s the most pistils I’ve seen firing out all over place this early. However one of the OS below the HPS isn’t feeling this groove and is developing at a slower rate. The plants that are being hit by both lights are gonna be fat!!!!! The forming buds are coming together quickly and big, they look swollen before they’ve swollen if ya know what I mean.🤔😂 I love week 3 of flower its where I always hit my plants with Hydrotops Triple F. It’s not a new product I’m using however I am using it in conjunction with two of their other products this time which is supposed to be the ideal way to benefit the plants when using Triple F. Development has seemed quicker during this grow especially from the period of switching the light cycle up to now. I’m happy. Temperature still a problem though a bit. Looking awesome going through week 3. But one plant is so much slower than the rest, I think she stretched a little too much when it was time. It still looks very strong and is covered with flower sites but they’re just not developing at a rate anything like her sisters flowers. The phantom OG in there with them are super fast. Maybe that’s making the Orange seem slower to me too🤔😂 all looking great in there anyway and am loving every moment I get to get in there with my girls. Very productive 3rd week 3 out of 4 growing at an accelerated rate, the 4th is looking fine too, well looking great actually but a lot slower with flower development.

Started the week with some Low Stress Training and continued to add and rearrange the ties throughout the week. There are a handful of reasons to LST your plants but the main reason should be to train the plant to grow with an even canopy when flowering. If you were to just grow your plant without any training, the plant would typically grow like a Christmas tree where the star would be your main top cola and have smaller buds (larf) on the bottom 3/4 of the plant. When trained correctly and achieving an even canopy will produce multiple large colas across an even canopy allowing as many colas (bud sites) as possible to be the same height from the light source. The Pineapple grew quickly which made the LST very easy and it worked out great in the end. The Purple was not growing so good and that was disappointing considering the other Purple that was growing in the other space grew very nice, similar to the Pineapple. Getting a runt / mutant is more common than one would think. At this point Feed was every other day and 3ml in 3L Ph between 6 - 6.1 *This week switched both SF2000 lights on and was having heat issues which didn't get corrected till late in the week.

We are now in middle of week 11 and 1 plant will be ready for harvest in around 7-10 days.

On day 15 I gave her 33cl compared to 25cl/3days as usual. Also expand her surface of watering like that she can make some flat roots. On day 18, 4th and last feeding on this dosage. As for now, the idea's to wait before starting train.

24-07-21 Week 5 Flowering Day 34 🙌🏻 I apologize if I'm not active lately I've been busy and haven't had time to upload any updates. 😬💚 Today we are in the fifth week of flowering! As you can see two plants are missing..😅 That have been removed from the tent due to (hermaphroditism) I don't know what caused this. But I only managed to save the Meringue which is growing outside, she is fine now and in shape! I removed her because I found a seed on her, at the time of the beginning of the general flowering of the plants. While the K-Mintz I had to kill her because she kept growing only seeds without seeing any female sex signs. I didn't have choice. Leaving the latter, the survivors are the Lemon Tree and the Mimosa. I'm really happy with them! They are strong despite having had some problems due to wrong PH value (7.1) now it seems for a week to have corrected the right value bringing it to 6.5 at the drainage of the plants. I will be uploading new updates soon! Thank you all for being here 💚 see you soon!

Day 56: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 875 ppm, 1861 us/cm, PH 6.4 Day 58: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 923 ppm, 1963 us/cm, PH 6.5 Day 60: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 840 ppm, 1787 us/cm, PH 6.4 Day 62: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 898ppm, 1910 us/cm, PH 6.4

They both got dried out and showed different symptoms. I have just started a new job and havnt been able to be on top of them as much but the Alaskan Diesel is more angry with me I think showing brown spots on allbher leaves the SkyStomperSquanch looks to be fine now not gaining more yellow just turning purple towards end of flowering
