All looking frosty around day 42 of flower! Just been on water for the whole of flower! Watered with aact as well every other week but real happy with this run!

🚂 Cash Express – Pheno A Week 10 | Her Story, Her Rhythm, Her Spotlight 🌸🔥 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another week of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 And here we are again with our Cash Express Pheno A. She's still doing exactly what she's been doing throughout this journey: Growing beautifully at her own rhythm. She's not trying to be the fastest. She's not trying to be the biggest. She's not trying to follow anybody else's schedule. She's simply becoming more and more herself with every passing week. And honestly... I really like that. Because when you have twelve different genetics sharing one room, the most interesting plants aren't necessarily the ones doing exactly what you expected. Sometimes it's the ones that look at your expectations and say: "Nope. I'm going to write my own story." 😂 And that's exactly what Cash Express Pheno A is doing. So this week, let's give her the attention she deserves. Let's look at her development, those beautiful white hairs, her individuality, and of course... let's talk photons. 💡🌱 Because this girl deserves some light on her story. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week 10 – Still Doing It Her Way Cash Express Pheno A is currently sitting around 72 cm. And once again, the number itself doesn't really tell the story. She's not particularly tall. She's not trying to become the biggest plant in the room. But when you actually stop and look at her... there's something happening. The structure is becoming increasingly defined. The flowering sites are developing. And the plant has that unmistakable feeling of moving further and further into her own expression. She's found her rhythm. And we're letting her keep it. That's one of the things I enjoy most about this entire 8×8 Adventure. We're not trying to make every plant behave the same. We're giving them a shared environment and watching what they do with it. And Cash Express Pheno A is giving us a very clear answer: "This is who I am." And I say... Go for it, girl. 💚 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Those White Hairs Are Becoming Her Signature One of the things I've really started appreciating about this phenotype is the definition of those beautiful white pistils. They're becoming increasingly obvious in the photographs. They stand out against the surrounding foliage, giving the developing flowers a really distinctive appearance. And this is one of those details that becomes much easier to appreciate when you're documenting the plant week after week. At first, they're just tiny white hairs appearing around the early flowering sites. Then suddenly... you start seeing them everywhere. They become part of the identity of the plant. And with Cash Express, I really like how defined they are becoming. The flowers are developing at their own pace, but there's no mistaking that they're developing. She's progressing. She's building. She's becoming more recognizable every week. And that's what makes following a phenotype from the beginning so rewarding. You don't just see a flower. You see the story of how that flower got there. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Same Genetics. Different Story. This is something I don't think I'll ever get tired of saying. Same genetics do not necessarily mean identical plants. And the 8×8 Adventure has been giving us a front-row seat to that reality. Cash Express Pheno A has her own structure. Her own pace. Her own flower expression. Her own way of occupying the space. Put her beside another phenotype and suddenly the differences become obvious. One might stretch more. Another might branch more. Another might stay compact. Another might develop its flowers differently. And none of those differences necessarily mean one plant is "better." They're simply different expressions. And that's exactly what we're here to discover. Cash Express Pheno A isn't trying to be anybody else. She's making her own thing. And honestly... that's pretty damn cool. ──────────────────────── 💡 Photons – Let's Give Her Something to Work With This week I want to put a little more attention on something that is fundamental to every plant in this room: light. Or, more specifically... photons. 💡 Because when we look at these beautiful flowering plants, it's easy to focus only on what we can see. The flowers. The leaves. The pistils. The structure. But underneath all of that is an incredibly simple relationship. Light provides the energy source that drives photosynthesis. Photons arrive at the leaves. The plant captures that energy. And that energy becomes part of the biological machinery supporting everything we're watching develop. So when I look at Cash Express, I'm not simply looking at a plant underneath an LED. I'm looking at a plant sitting underneath an artificial sun. And every day, we're giving her another opportunity to turn that light into growth. That's pretty amazing when you stop and think about it. ──────────────────────── ☀️ Future of Grow – Our Artificial Sun The Future of Grow LEDs continue providing the primary lighting for the room. And this is one of the parts of the 8×8 Adventure that I particularly enjoy. Twelve different plants. One lighting environment. And then we watch how differently each one responds. The light doesn't tell Cash Express what shape to take. It doesn't tell her how tall to grow. It doesn't tell her how her flowers should develop. It simply provides the energy. The genetics take it from there. And this is why comparing these plants is so interesting. The photons are available to all of them. But every phenotype has its own way of using the opportunity. Cash Express is showing us her answer. And I'm very happy to keep watching. ──────────────────────── 💡 Light Isn't Just About the Top of the Plant Another thing I love about our lighting strategy is that we're thinking about the canopy as a three-dimensional environment. Plants aren't flat. A flower isn't simply sitting directly underneath a light. There are leaves above it. Leaves beside it. Branches at different heights. Flowers facing different directions. Different parts of the plant naturally receive different amounts of light. That's where the additional Lumiflora lighting becomes particularly interesting. By bringing additional illumination into the inner and lower areas of the canopy, we're giving those less-exposed areas another opportunity to receive useful light. It's not about turning the plant into a Christmas tree covered in lights. 😂 It's about thinking about where the plant actually exists in three-dimensional space. Top. Middle. Inside. Below. Every part of the canopy has a different relationship with the light. And Cash Express is another beautiful example of why that matters. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Let the Plant Decide What to Do With the Light This is probably one of my favourite parts of growing. We can provide the environment. We can provide the photons. We can provide water and nutrition. We can manage temperature, humidity and airflow. But then... we have to step back. Because the plant takes over. Cash Express receives the same general opportunity as her sisters. And yet she's developing differently. That's genetics expressing themselves. That's the phenotype writing its own story. And that's why I'm not interested in forcing her to become something she's not. She's already telling me what she is. So I'm listening. ──────────────────────── 💧 Consistency Where We Can Control It We're also continuing to keep the environmental side of the room as consistent as possible. Current conditions are approximately: 🌡️ Day temperature: 29.9°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 60% ⚗️ pH: 6.0 ⚡ EC: ~2.0 mS/cm 💨 CO₂: ~639 ppm 💦 Watering: ~1.2 L/plant/24h 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25°C 🥥 Substrate temperature: 26°C 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ? Pot size: 15 L 📏 Height: ~72 cm Summer, of course, continues to make temperature management an ongoing little game. One degree up. One degree down. Another warm day. Another slightly cooler day. That's reality. So instead of obsessing over every tiny fluctuation, we're concentrating on maintaining the overall environment as stable as we reasonably can. The things we can control... we control. The things summer decides to control... well... we negotiate. 😂☀️ ──────────────────────── ⚗️ Nutrition – Keep the Plant Comfortable The nutritional strategy remains essentially unchanged. We're continuing with the flowering programme and keeping the solution around: pH 6.0 EC approximately 2.0 mS/cm There's no reason to start changing things simply because another week has passed. Cash Express is growing. She's flowering. She's maintaining good colour. And she's continuing her development. So we're allowing consistency to do its job. Sometimes the best intervention is no intervention at all. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Flowers Are Becoming More Defined When I look at the photographs this week, one thing really stands out. The flowers are becoming easier to read. The structure is becoming more obvious. The pistils are beautifully defined. And there's a growing sense that these little flowering sites are becoming something much more substantial. She's not rushing there. But she's getting there. And that's enough. This is another reason I love documenting the same plant week after week. If you only looked at her today, you might simply say: "Beautiful flower." But when you compare the photographs from earlier weeks... you can actually see the transformation. And that transformation is the real story. ──────────────────────── 📸 The Camera Finds the Details Cash Express has become one of those plants where the camera really helps me appreciate the little things. From a distance, she's another beautiful flowering plant inside a very busy room. But move closer... and suddenly there's another world. The pistils. The developing flower structure. The leaves surrounding the flowers. The way the branches carry their individual sites. The subtle differences in colour and texture. This is why I keep photographing everything. Because the eye sees the room. The camera sees the details. And together they tell a much better story. ──────────────────────── 🚂 Cash Express Doesn't Need to Hurry I think this is probably the most important thing I want to say about her this week. She's still growing at her own rhythm. And that's okay. There is no race. She's not competing against the plant next door. She's not competing against another phenotype. She's not competing against some imaginary calendar. She's simply moving through her own development. And if that means she takes a little longer to show us what she's capable of... I'm perfectly happy to wait. Because every week she gives us another little piece of the puzzle. And I like the picture we're getting. ──────────────────────── 🔬 Twelve Plants – Twelve Relationships With Light This is where the lighting experiment becomes particularly fascinating for me. The same room. The same general lighting philosophy. The same artificial sun. But twelve different plants interpreting that environment in twelve different ways. Some plants seem to want to reach toward the light. Some remain compact. Some build wide canopies. Some build tall structures. Some flower sites become immediately obvious. Others take their time. The photons are the common language. The genetics write the individual stories. And Cash Express Pheno A is definitely writing hers. She's saying: "Give me the light. Give me the time. I'll show you." So that's exactly what we're doing. 💡🌱 ──────────────────────── 🔮 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should become increasingly interesting. We're entering the stage where the flowers will continue developing their structure and density, while the plant maintains the architecture she's spent the entire grow creating. For now, we're keeping the fundamentals steady: 💡 Future of Grow LEDs providing the main light 💡 Lumiflora supporting the deeper canopy 💧 Consistent irrigation ⚗️ Stable nutrition 🌡️ Controlled environment 🌬️ Good airflow ⏳ And patience No need to complicate things. She's doing what she needs to do. We'll continue watching. ──────────────────────── 💭 Final Thoughts – Give Her the Spotlight Cash Express Pheno A continues to remind me why I love this project. She's different. Not dramatically different. Not trying to scream for attention. But different enough that, week after week, her personality becomes clearer. She's growing at her own rhythm. She's developing beautiful flowers. And those defined white pistils have become one of the details I particularly enjoy about this phenotype. She's making her own story. Her own structure. Her own expression. And our job is simply to give her the opportunity to show it. The photons are there. The LEDs are doing their job. Future of Grow is providing the artificial sun. Lumiflora is helping bring that light deeper into the canopy. The environment is being kept as stable as summer allows. And Cash Express? She's doing what Cash Express does. Slowly. Beautifully. Her way. And that's enough. So this week, I'm not trying to change her. I'm not trying to make her faster. I'm not trying to make her bigger. I'm simply giving her the spotlight. Because she deserves it. 🚂🌸💡🔥 Let's make her shine. ──────────────────────── 🙏 Thank You As always, a massive thank you to everyone following the 8×8 Adventure and taking the time to watch these twelve individual stories develop. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Cash Express genetics and for giving us the opportunity to discover what these different expressions can become. Thank you to Plagron for supporting the garden throughout the journey. A huge thank you to Future of Grow for providing the LEDs powering our artificial sun and giving these girls the photons they need every day. And thank you to Lumiflora for helping us bring additional light into the inner and lower parts of the canopy and allowing us to explore the relationship between the plant and light from another angle. And of course, thank you to everyone following along on GrowDiaries. Every comment. Every question. Every observation. Every person simply stopping by to see how the girls are doing. It all makes this adventure that much more enjoyable. Cash Express Pheno A is still here. Still compact. Still beautiful. Still developing. Still doing things her own way. And I wouldn't want it any other way. Because this isn't about making twelve plants identical. It's about discovering twelve individual personalities. And this girl? She's definitely got one. So let's keep watching. Let's keep photographing. Let's keep giving her those photons. And most importantly... let's make her shine. 🚂🌸💚💡 Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💚 See you next week in the 8×8 jungle. 🌿🔥

I am giving her an extra week 15 hours total light (decreased by 4h) Getting longer and bigger the new stems from node. If keep growing I will give them another extra week of Veg. Weather changing and now sunlight is less intense.

End of week 4 and all is great! This girl is beefin up to be a monster! Already got a ton of bud on her an their is still 4-6 weeks to go. loving this Hortilux Eye 1000w bulb. Really bringing the A game. Not so bumbed about spending $ 125 on a bulb now...lol haven’t had to really take any foliage off yet with the exception of the growth under the netting I removed at 1 weeks into flowering. I say “hell no” too popcorn fluff! Lol gotta save that energy for the top buds. Going great so far anyway, I made a DIY light bar for my light rail mover out of an old metal bed frame so that was cool. Saved $50 per tent... I ain’t no sucker gonna pay $50 for an aluminum bar with some bolts. Lol gonna hook up my “water coolers soon too since the summer is approaching and my water temps are begging to creep up again. Lol you may have noticed a computer case sitting in the corner of my grow tents in past videos, they are DIY water chillers made from some thermoelectric coolers and a copper cooling coil. Stay tuned to see them operational soon! I will be posting a DIY video on how to build one yourself out of an old desktop computer and a few other parts off Amazon. Cheers 💨

8/8 Rained all night. Still raining today and the forecast says it will continue throughout the day until midnight. It's come down heavy at times but for the most part it's a rain that plants like. Defoliated a couple leaves but nothing really needed it. Without a trellis or my tarps up the grow bags seem to dry out incredibly fast so I need to watch that. It's also "toughened" up the plant wants. I've seen them blowing straight sideways and they were fine. I do need to find that four lined plant bug and spray BT after the rain. Plants lovedcthe nutes. I might feed a little later today or tomorrow. I've got a few things to do but I'll keep this updated. Went over and defoliated ANYTHING that needed it and combed through every plant during a pause in the storm. Then I shook them all off and did a video. This is by far the healthiest crop I've grown! I think they can handle more nutes too so I'm going to up it next feed. Still seeing stptadoc chunks missing and random pillar damage. BT will handle it. It's just so minor I'm not even sure if it should be addressed that way. I've had pretty good luck just looking for them and picking them off. 8/9 Cannabis can grow an inch or two in a day and it definitely has been! The rain has finally stopped. I went and shook all my plants off. I'm going to check and see the last time I fed and try to get a feeding schedule created that won't cause lockout. That's been a problem in the past. I've defoliated a lot of leaves lately but EVERYTHING is looking amazing. Extremely healthy. I DO need to spray BT for the pillars and I need to move that one plant back. I keep forgetting to grab the little wheels I need to make a platform. There are other ways I could do it I guess. I'll keep this updated. No damage from the storm and I went through and defoliated before and after. Forgot to upload shit and now I'm back home with this shitty internet connection. I'm trying to upload this video but we'll see. It's at like 32%. I did a full workout and came back to find this at 77% lol. I need to remember to upload things when I'm not in the middle of the woods. UPDATE: Checked on things and did a video. Need to feed, apply bt and secure individual branches before flowering increases 8/10 LOOKS to be a beautiful day. Growbags are heavy as hell and wet on the bottom. I ALMOST fed today and I still might. The pp in the 10 seems to have leeched a lot of nutes. That and a giant blueberry cheese are the only places I'm seeing a deficiency and I want to keep it simply. I also need to put a trellis up apply BT. also if I'm going to move things around I've got to do it before I put up flowering supports. It's harder to move stuff when it's wet. I'll keep this updated. The girls look fantastic. UPDATE: Went and trellised two of my plants. I was going to feed today but decided to wait until the next time I water. I'm only seeing deficiencies on the phrple punch in the ten and the GIANT blueberry cheese that I watered the most. Bags were heavy as hell this morning but I bet I'll need to water tomorrow. We'll see. Hahaha wow. I'm trying to upload a video but even my tough as fuck plants might have some difficulty in torrential rains like this. Wow. That's all I can say. I'll either go check and shake them off tonight or if it keeps it up I'll wait until morning I guess. What a shit show 8/11 WOW. That's probably the hardest I've ever seen it rain. Got to the grow this morning and found NO damage. It's super sunny amd windy so the bags will probably dry out. I think it's suppised to rain again Sunday. I definitely haven't had to water that's for sure. Nothing was even bent over this morning. The blue cheese I didn't fim or top (I wanted to see gow it grew naturally) pop ka was bent down a little bit but not much considering the pounding it got. You can see on the videos. Since bags were saturated I didn't need to water before I fed. I fed 1.25 pints to every plant. I gave the fifty 2.5 pints and the purple punch in the 10 got closer to a pint. I want to start out slow with nutes as I'm nor seeing many deficiencies. I may fuck around today and put some more trellises up seeing this wind bur when flower comes I can just put my tarp up. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER BECAUSE THE WIND WAS WHIPPING LIKE CRAZY AND TREES WERE DOWN. I SANITIZED ALL MY TRELLISING AND HORIZONTALLY TRELLISED TWO 10TH PLANETS IN FRONT AND VERYICAL TRELLISED THE THIRD. HORIZONTAL TRELLISED THE PURPL WE PUNCH IN THE 10 AND VERTICAL TRELLISED THE BLUE CHEESE IN THE 50 AND THE 10TH PLANET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CAGE. GLAD I GOT THIS DONE. NOW I JUST NEED TO SPRAY BT AND I'LL FEEL CAUGHT UP. 8/12 Got my supports up and ready now I've just got to find the time to give the girls an application of BT. I've done a pretty good job with manual removal thus far. Bags are over watered. It's Rained so hard and so often that the bags have stayed drenched. Luckily this ridiculous wind has been drying my grow bags out relatively fast. I'm hoping that will be the case today. They're starting to dry out but it's supposed to rain tonight and I think tomorrow. Bright and sunny right now. These are some resilient plants. They seemed to like the liquid kool bloom. I noticed (barely noticeable but I was looking for it) a SLIGHT color change at the very TIPS of a few leaves on a plant but not enough to consider it burn. I will monitor but I think ive got a pretty good feeding regimen. I plan to use as little as I can get away with. I'll keep this updated. UPDATE: WENT TO CHECK ON PLANTS AS I GOT "THAT FEELING". EVERYTHING WAS LOOKING GREAT BUT THEN I WENT AND LIFTED MY DRY 22GALS OF SOIL AND COMPATED IT TO MY 20S AND LIKE I THOUGHT THE WIND HAD DRIED THEM OUT. I CANT BELIEVE HOW QUICK THEY DRY OUT. I GAVE EVERYTHING 1.5 GALLONS AT LEAST EXCEPT FOR THE 10 WHICH I GAVE A LITTLE LESS THAN A GALLON. I GAVE THE 50 A LITTLE OVER 2 GALLONS AND I DISNT NOTICE RUNOFF. I HAD MORE WATER MIXED UP IM THINKING I SHOULDVE GIVEN IT ANOTHER GALLON. OH WELL ITS SUPPISED TO RAIN A LITTLE TONIGHT AND THEN TOMORROW. I HAVEN'T WAYERED IN LIKE A WEEK SO I PROBABLY SHOULD'VE GIVEN THE WHOLE 2 GALLONS. THEY GOT DAMN CLOSE THOUGH. 8/13 Rained like hell last night. Oh course it did. Doesn't really matter though. I had to water. I thibk the last time "I" watered was lime a week ago. My bags were dry. Plants weren't drooping and they might've been ok but I've under-watered twice already to the point they drooped right over dead looking and I wasn't going to do that again. Plants seem to love the nutes I gave. Keeping the tarps off and allowing the wind through and having my bags on pallets has really saved me this year. Everyone else is bitching about the rain and lack of sun but things are going great for me knock on wood. I'm not 'in the ground' though so that probably has something to do with it. I just need to check my plants multiple times a day. These plants are getting massive. The cage is at least 8ft tall and the biggest one is about to the top now. Almost as wide too. 8/14 I forgot to write the entry but I uploaded some pics from this morning. They were wet from the storm but I went back over and took video that's like two and a half minutes plus I took some pictures. I pulled the cage out but I need to undue one of the lathes and pull it forward. I also need to apply BT. Plants seem to be aggressively flowering (some more than others) so it's a real exciting time. I went over this afternoon and everything looked fantastic. I'll try to upload a few pictures but the video will have to wait. Didn't rain today and my bags sry out quick so I'm sure they'll be fine even if it rains. I did notice that the two plants I watered most including the smallest container seem lighter in color. IT might hust be the transition to flower but u think I need to increase feed. On the 10th planet's they are green as can be and have that SLIGHT little almost unnoticeable part you really have to look for on the tips that means it's getting its nutes but it's not burnt. I believe I'm going to have to make feeding schedules for each strain

Growing well.

Chopped and I'll hang them in the he dry tent and keep it around 60rh/17c for as long as I can. 🤑 Update: got the tent at 15c/61rh and wow the buds have a different type of firmness than before. I can't wait... So far my best grow of the 3

Amazing experience with the Mix Pack, I will try it again next summer for sure. Love the variety.

Everything coming alone wonderfully

SPONSERED BY VIPARSPECTRA AND ZAMNESIA SEEDS . The week as all seedling wasn't quite special but I did notice alot of girls starting to display pistles very early on , which isn't a bad sign at all just hopfully they achieve a good size 30inch to 40 inch I would prefer . Watering I've got under control already with the LEDs . Temps are a different story they have been a nitemare to keep under control , two heaters full power and the LEDS are only keeping the room about 20oC at best sometimes ... So gonna buy some insulation and seal the room up some more and hopfully keep some heat trapped inside the room and hopfully the heating bill reduces by some as this run will cost appox 900£ gbp 1200$ appox 1000€ appox Thoe come this years summer run my temps will be ideal without even using a heater at all which will reduce power to 1kw/h from 2kw/h . Plants day 14 review Girl scout cookie's ZAMNESIA These little women has been displaying the best vigour ans size in the room , hinting towards a big yeilder , there's some nice purpling of the stems and some leaves 🍃 looks like I might have got a purple pheno cookies 🍪 time will certainly tell Do si dos RQS These girls are smaller than most in the tent but this looks to be more genicitis than anything as there all displaying a smaller size compared to the other pots and not as much vigour but all in sync showing the gentics are solid but might be just a slow start for these girls Gorilla glue ZAMNESIA Hoping the funny gorilla girl pulls through as I was looking forwards to having some glue the other two plants are on par with the GSC and doing quite well in size and also structure is also like the GCS very thick stems for such small plants. I think these @VIPARSPECTRA lights are playing a good part in allowing these girls to use what light is needed for a healthy structure Runtz ZAMNESIA Girls are looking like there genicitis has lots of potential for a very vigorous plant , the last runtz I grew was very big plants hoping for the same type of growth . One does appear to acquire some molding on the frist true leaves but seems not to have slowed any growth or reduced vigorous growth so if you spot this I'm not worried , very vigorous strain Lemon haze - ETS look like they could be bigger plants hopfully they make for a nice grow and don't get out of control making me think should I top my haze ? Blueberry Headbang- ETS This has been the hardest Germination of any seeds and I only got 1 decent seed pop up this one plant I'm taking super good care of as I wanna try Blueberry headbang Headlight kush - ETS a few of these have come up in good old fashion no visible problems and look to grow pretty good I think where gonna have a couple of headlights kush . Seem to be solid and all in sync to whatever part of growth there meant to be at . All plants are doing amazing 👏 they where showing great vigorous growth and some steady growth . Planning on keeping as many girls as possible alothough 16 might be the upper limit if these girls get big as this is the frist time I've used LEDs Im not sure what to expect . The same as hps ? Definitely no the growth from the LEDs is alot better than HPS and I haven't even dailed the temps to stay super steady Going to introduce my GHE flora line at low dosage to not shock the little girls and not to stun any growth . Will closely monitor for any sign of defenices

Flushing

These plants are starting to blow up. 💣 These are some very healthy looking plants but what else can be expected from such stable genes.🤷‍♂️🏽 just removed some lower most branches, everything below where o first topped really. ✂️ just a few more weeks before the flip to flower.🌺

Almost there thanks for looking happy growing

🥒 Project Blue Tent – Week 4 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno A (Folder 14A) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 For anyone joining this journey for the first time, this project follows four individual plants, each documented in its own diary from seed to harvest. Although every plant shares the exact same environment, nutrients, lighting, and care, each one is given the opportunity to tell its own unique story and reveal how its genetics express themselves. Today we're catching up with Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A. ⸻ 🌱 Week Four – Recovery and New Beginnings Last week marked an important milestone when Plant A received her very first topping. This week, however, was all about patience. After performing a high-stress training technique, I always prefer giving the plant time to recover before asking anything more of her. Rather than continuing with additional training, I simply let nature do its job while carefully observing how she responded. Sometimes, the best thing a grower can do is... nothing. Looking at her now, it's safe to say she appreciated that decision. The recovery has been outstanding. The two new leading shoots have quickly taken over, growth has remained vigorous throughout the entire plant, and the side branches are now pushing with much greater determination than before. The change in architecture is already becoming obvious, with the canopy beginning to widen naturally as the plant redirects its energy away from a single dominant tip. It's always rewarding to watch such a dramatic transformation from one small cut. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions Consistency continues to be one of the biggest priorities inside Project Blue Tent. Stable environmental conditions allow the plants to recover quickly from training while encouraging continuous vegetative growth. Average conditions this week were: • 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative humidity: 67% • 🥥 Root zone temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: 18°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.88 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light schedule: 18/6 With the Phytonaut LED providing an even spread across the canopy, the plants continue receiving all the energy they need while maintaining compact internodal spacing and healthy vegetative growth. ⸻ 🥥 Feeding Adjustments As mentioned in the previous updates, all four plants developed a slightly lighter shade of green during the last couple of weeks. Although their posture remained excellent and growth never slowed down, I felt they were asking for just a little more nutrition. Rather than waiting for deficiencies to appear, I increased the base feeding slightly. Current nutrition now consists of: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.8 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.8 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L By the end of this week I was already beginning to notice a richer, healthier green returning to the newest foliage across the entire tent, suggesting the adjustment was exactly what the plants were asking for. One of the things I'm really enjoying about growing in coco is how quickly the plants respond to small, measured changes. ⸻ 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A This phenotype continues to impress me every single week. The recovery after topping has been remarkably smooth, and it's already clear that the plant has shifted into a completely different growth pattern. The two new main leaders are developing beautifully, while the lower branches are accelerating as they receive more energy than they would have under normal apical dominance. Instead of growing upward through one dominant stem, the plant is now beginning to spread outward, creating the broad, balanced framework I'm hoping to build before introducing the SCROG later in the grow. The stems continue to thicken nicely, the internodal spacing remains tight, and the foliage has maintained excellent posture throughout the week. Although she's still carrying that slightly lighter shade of green, the improvement in colour over the last few days is already noticeable, and her overall posture tells the real story. Leaves are praying toward the light. Growth is continuous. The plant simply looks happy. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should be another exciting step forward. With the topping now fully recovered, I expect both new leaders to begin stretching more aggressively while the side branches continue filling out the canopy. For now, I'll continue allowing the plant to develop naturally, avoiding unnecessary stress and simply monitoring her structure as she prepares for the next stage of vegetative growth. Every week these genetics reveal a little more of their personality, and Plant A is becoming exactly the kind of bushy, well-balanced plant I was hoping to create. ⸻ 💙 Thank You A huge thank you goes to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these fantastic Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A sincere thank you as well to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line that continues supporting healthy growth every step of the way. Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can document their journeys, share experiences, and continue learning from one another. And finally, thank you to everyone following along. Whether you've been here since germination, recently discovered these diaries, leave comments every week, quietly follow in the background, or simply enjoy watching these ladies grow, your support genuinely means a lot. Project Blue Tent is about sharing the complete journey—the successes, the lessons, the experiments, and everything in between. I hope you're all having an amazing week, and I look forward to seeing you again in the next update as these beautiful ladies continue their adventure. Until next time... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

This week seems to be bulk week. Under the microscope it look like the Amber trichomes would be here. But not yet. I'm not fussed😎.. More weight is a good thing. Flawless finish is going to be used for the 1st time

Not much to report this week. She is beautiful and loving life.
