Last pictures before the 48 hrs darkness. After that it’s chop time. I’ll snap a couple before she goes into drying. ✌️ While these pictures drop I can add some comments.. she has a terrific nose to her.. kinda like fruity candy.. super sticky .. everything one would want in a medical strain. Though, I’ve never tried a true green crack. I’ve heard great things, and as a Sativa lover .. I’m hoping this girl is a gift that keeps on giving.. we’ll see.

Let’s Go day 29!! This week went real nice ! Girls are staying very healthy and building up nicely and even started showing signs of female sex which is super great ! We started doing a little bit of leaf tuck training method on em , nothing to big as like I said I want these girls just to do there thang an grow more on naturally side! My Air temp and Humidity have been on point all week, staying from 70-75 degrees throughout the day and humidity staying around 58-61% humidity , my girls are loving that summer an 75 feeling !! Can’t wait to see what we do this week ! Hopefully you all enjoy, and are ready for another great productive week ! Peace love an positive vibes to y’all Cheers 😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨🤙🏻Happy Grows✌️🏻Week 4 let’s get it !

Starting off week 7. Gotta love the holidays! Good to catch up with family, but sucks when you can't get time to water. Water deprived 2 more times this week. Also had several bleached buds on various plants and my favorite light was now done with the other tent, so swapped it over now. led. Spaectra has much better even par distribution than my king leds. Got about a month or so to go. Still not bad given the neglect and over use of light they've recieved over last couple weeks. Hoping to get everything dialed back in for the remaining month.

Week 8, Things smell heavy🤤 Watered NL's 2L with 0.5ml/L Bloom and 3ml/L Topmax. Sb1 got 2L with 0.5ml/L AlgAMix, 0.5ml/L Bloom and 0.3ml/L Grow. Sb2 got 1.5L same Bloom and AlgAMix. (Day 50) Checked NL 1, give her about 6 days to harvest. Ph was to low on her, did too much Training and bad Environment. Learnd very much, thank you little buddy Waterd NL's 1.5L Water (PH 6.5) Sb got also 1.5L but with 0.5ml/L alg and topmax ( Day 52) very worried about SB 2 Flushed her today, should do this earlyer runoff ph was about 5 Sticky Beast back on track lets call her 👌‍♂️ NL'S trichomes getting more milky, not so far from yielding✂️ (Day 56) gave both Northern lights 1500ml and Sticky beast#1 1000ml Water. Ready for week 9? (Day 57)

New week and this means official flowering for the girl, stretching, preflowers, pistils and a big smile after some 9 weeks of vegetation and mainline formation. I believe this is a very promising strain very sturdy, never seen any slowing of growth after any cutting or stress low or high and hoping for some big fat frosty colas with the new addition of more missing nutes such as Silica, voodoo juice and sensizym as I believe roots are very important too and I saw immediate results when I added those missing elements to my other autoflowering plants which apparently stopped drooping just before lights off and just from day 2 and never saw them droop since...check other diary... Peace

[Week 6 - Pre-Flowering] Signs of pre-flowering appear as the plant transitions into its reproductive phase within the minigrow box. We continue to provide optimal conditions.

Nice little video of the sisters.loveing life

Back 2 are on week 5 day 34 of flowering & front plant Orange sherbet clone is week 8 day 54 & very close to harvest, changed her over & flushing with water & Rezin only. Awaiting delivery of a new 60x microscope lense to view trichomes but the buds look like their just about done. Calyx closed & swollen, amber pistils curling in, they are nice & dense buds.

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 9 🥒 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno B 🌿 When The Girls Decide They're Bigger Than The Room Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 And what a chapter this has been. If you're new to this diary, welcome aboard! Project Blue Tent follows four individual plants through their journey from seed to harvest, with each phenotype receiving her own dedicated diary. All four girls share the same tent, lighting, irrigation, nutrition, environment and overall cultivation strategy. The idea remains simple: Keep the variables as consistent as possible... And let the plants tell their own story. And this week? The plants had quite a story to tell. Because apparently... we ran out of room before they ran out of energy. 😂🌱 Today we're giving the spotlight to Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno B. And just like her sisters... She's shining. 🌸 Week Nine – Okay Girls, We Get It... You're Growing Last week, we knew the stretch was coming. We talked about it. We expected it. We knew that seven weeks of vegetation, warm temperatures and four incredibly vigorous plants could potentially create a serious flowering stretch. Well... They delivered. 😂 Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B has reached approximately 145 cm. And that's before we start adding the height of the pot, substrate and drainage system underneath her. Suddenly, our vertical space became a very serious consideration. The plants were simply getting too close to the LEDs. So this week wasn't about watching from the sidelines. We had to adapt the room. And honestly? I'm very happy with the result. 💡 Making More Vertical Space The first major change was moving the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent and onto the top. Previously, that equipment was occupying valuable space inside the tent. By relocating it, we were able to reclaim some of that vertical room. The extraction setup now pulls air from inside the tent through the carbon filter and extractor positioned above the tent before exhausting it away. That gave us the opportunity to raise the LEDs much closer to the top of the tent. And those few extra centimetres? They suddenly became extremely valuable. The plants aren't getting shorter. 😂 But at least now they have more room between the canopy and the lighting. And that's exactly what we needed. 🔥 A Little Too Close To The LEDs Before we made the adjustment, some of the taller tops had already gotten a little too close to the LEDs. There were some burned leaves and affected tops. Nothing dramatic. Nothing that changed the overall health of the plant. But definitely enough to tell us: They had pushed the limits. So we caught it. We raised the lights. We opened the canopy. And now we're watching the plants respond. These things happen in a real grow. You can plan your distances. You can watch the numbers. You can calculate your available space. And then four plants decide they're going to ignore your calculations. 😂🌱 Message received. ✂️ Deep Defoliation – Opening The Room Again After creating more vertical space, we also needed to deal with the incredible amount of foliage these plants had accumulated. So we went through the room with a proper deep defoliation. We removed the leaves that were no longer helping us maintain the structure we wanted. The objective wasn't simply: "Remove leaves." It was about cleaning up an extremely dense flowering environment. Opening the interior. Improving visibility. Creating more space between developing flowering sites. And making the structure easier to manage as flowering progresses. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B handled the process beautifully. And now, looking at her after the cleanup... I can actually see the plant again. The branches. The flowering sites. The structure. The support underneath. Everything is much more visible. And that's exactly what I wanted. 🌿 Why We Defoliate I think it's important to explain what we're actually trying to accomplish when we do this. Healthy leaves aren't bad. They're part of the plant's engine. So we're not removing foliage because leaves are somehow unwanted. We're managing excessive density. After seven weeks of vegetation and an enormous flowering stretch, the plants had simply produced more vegetative material than we wanted to carry into the next stage. The defoliation gives us a cleaner structure and allows us to better observe what's happening inside the canopy. It isn't a magic button. It doesn't guarantee anything. And I'm certainly not expecting the plant to suddenly produce more flowers simply because we removed leaves. It's about managing the structure we've created. Now the work is done. The plants get to respond. 🕸️ The Second SCROG Is Installed Another major change this week was the addition of a second SCROG net. The first net did exactly what we wanted during vegetation. It helped us spread the canopy and create the structure. But now we're looking at plants around 145 cm tall, with flowering still developing. Those branches are going to have a lot more weight to carry as the flowers mature. So the second net is there primarily as additional support and organization. We're preparing the structure for what's coming. And I think we'll be very happy we did it. Because looking at these girls now... I don't think they're planning on producing tiny flowers. 😂💙 🌬️ More Airflow – One Fan Up, One Fan Down We also added a second Zamnesia clip fan underneath the canopy. Previously, we had airflow higher in the room. Now we've added another source lower down. The idea is to keep air moving throughout the entire plant structure rather than concentrating circulation in only one zone. With one fan higher and one lower, we're creating a more dynamic, vortex-like circulation pattern through the room. Air moves. It changes direction. It travels through the canopy. And the lower portion of the plants isn't being forgotten. This is particularly useful now that we've opened the canopy with the defoliation. We created more space. Now we want that space to have good air movement. And honestly... the room looks beautiful. ✂️ Clean Scissors – Always Another small detail that deserves a mention is the Zamnesia curved scissors. I really like using these for the smaller and more delicate work. For much of my defoliation, I actually prefer using my fingers. If I can gently remove a leaf without bringing a blade anywhere near the plant, that's often what I'll do. But some leaves are awkward. Some are tucked into delicate spaces. Some simply need a precise cut. That's where the scissors come in. And regardless of whether they're brand new or already used: Clean scissors. Always. It's a simple habit, but it's one I don't compromise on. Clean tools make sense. 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B – Taking It All In Stride And this is where I have to give Plant B some special credit. Look at her. She's gone through the same crazy stretch as her sisters. She's been through the room reorganization. The LEDs were raised. The canopy was deeply cleaned. A second SCROG was installed. Another fan was added. And she's still standing there looking perfectly happy. 😂💙 That's what I like about this girl. She doesn't seem particularly interested in making things complicated. She just grows. And grows. And grows. At some point, I think the entire room realized: We're all Pickle Lemon Haze now. 😂 🌸 Flowering Is Really Taking Shape The most exciting part is that underneath all this structural work, flowering is continuing exactly as we want. The plants have entered this phase with enormous momentum. The flowering sites are developing. The branches are carrying new growth. The structure we've spent weeks building is now becoming the framework for the flowers. And after this week's cleanup, those developing flowers are much easier to appreciate. The plants are no longer simply preparing to flower. They're doing it. And now we're watching the transition from flowering sites into increasingly substantial flowers. That's the part I'm really looking forward to. 🥒 Different Strain, Same Room, Same Challenge Pickle Lemon Haze F1 is obviously a different genetic line from the Blue Waffle F1 girls sharing this tent. And that's exactly what makes this project so interesting. Different genetics. Different diaries. Different plants. But under the same conditions... this week they've behaved remarkably similarly. They stretched. They became too tall. They needed more vertical space. They needed a serious cleanup. They needed additional support. They benefited from improved airflow. And now they're all standing there looking remarkably happy. That's an interesting result in itself. Sometimes genetics give you very obvious differences. Other times... different genetics find remarkably similar ways to respond to the same environment. This week has been one of those times. 💧 Nutrition – The Girls Are Loving It The nutritional program has also moved forward slightly. The current recipe is: Plagron Hydro A — 2.2 ml/L Plagron Hydro B — 2.2 ml/L Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L pH adjustment as required That has brought the EC up to approximately 2.49 mS/cm. And the plants are clearly responding well. The foliage remains healthy. The plants are vigorous. Flowering development is progressing. And the overall room is showing us that these girls are consuming what we're giving them. So we're staying consistent. No unnecessary drama. No wild changes. Just watching what the plants tell us. And right now... they're telling us they're hungry. 😂🌱 🌡️ Blue Tent – Current Conditions The room remains under the same general environmental conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: approximately 145 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ☀️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 27°C 💧 Relative humidity: 67% ⚗️ pH: 6.01 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.49 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25.3°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 24°C 💨 CO₂: approximately 666 ppm ? Pot size: 8 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h The biggest difference this week isn't really the environment itself. It's how we've reorganized the physical space around it. The plants grew. So we adapted. 🌬️ Airflow Becomes Even More Important With a room this full, airflow becomes something I want to pay increasing attention to. The canopy has been opened. The second fan is now moving air underneath. The upper airflow remains active. And extraction has been moved outside the tent. That gives us a much cleaner overall setup. We're not trying to create some artificial hurricane inside the tent. 😂 We're simply making sure the air doesn't sit stagnant around a dense flowering structure. The goal is movement throughout the room. And with the second fan underneath the canopy, I feel much happier about the circulation we're creating. 🕸️ The Second Net – Preparing For The Finish The second SCROG is also going to become increasingly useful as flowering progresses. Right now, the branches are still relatively light. But we're not at the end. We're approaching the stage where those flowers are going to become much more substantial. So the second net is there before we need it. That's something I've learned over the years: Preparation is much easier than trying to solve a support problem after the weight arrives. For now, everything is positioned. The structure is organized. And we're ready to see what these girls can build. 🌿 What I Expect From The Defoliation Now that we've completed the major cleanup, I'm not expecting to constantly interfere. Quite the opposite. We've done the work. Now I want to watch the plants respond. I don't expect them to stop growing overnight. I don't expect some magical transformation. And I certainly don't expect the defoliation to replace good environmental management. What I do expect is a cleaner structure that's easier to observe and manage while the plants continue flowering. And that's enough. Sometimes the best thing you can do after making a significant adjustment... is nothing. Just watch. 💙 Plant B – Still Shining There's something really satisfying about looking at Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B now. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's flowering. She's healthy. And she's survived another week of us rearranging her world. 😂🌱 The plant hasn't suddenly become something different. She's still the same energetic girl we've been following. The difference is that now the room is better prepared for what she wants to do. And I think that's an important distinction. We're not trying to force her into being smaller. We're not trying to fight her genetics. We're simply giving her the structure and space to finish properly. That's the goal. 🌸 The Blue Tent Is Finally Organized Again After all the work this week, I have to admit... I really like looking inside this tent now. The carbon filter and extractor are outside. The LEDs are raised. The canopy has been cleaned. The second SCROG is installed. The second fan is moving air underneath. The flowering structure is visible again. And the girls? They're happy. That's the important part. We may have had a little chaos getting here... but the end result looks beautiful. 👀 Looking Ahead From here, I think the plan becomes much simpler. Observe. Maintain. Support. And let them flower. The major structural work is done. The room has more vertical space. The lights have been raised. The canopy has been opened. The second support net is ready. Airflow has been improved. Nutrition has been adjusted slightly to match their appetite. Now I want to see how Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B responds as flowering continues. Will the stretch finally slow? How quickly will the flowers gain size? How much weight will those branches eventually carry? And how will her individual phenotype become more obvious as maturity approaches? Those are the questions I want answered now. And thankfully... I don't need to answer them today. The plants will. 💙 Final Thoughts – Last But Definitely Not Least And here we are... last but not least. 💙😂 And I'm writing this with a huge smile on my face because, honestly... these four girls are amazing. This week was intense. They stretched far more than we wanted. They became too tall for the original equipment arrangement. We had to move the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent. We raised the LEDs. We dealt with a few areas of LED stress. We performed a deep defoliation. We installed a second SCROG. We added another fan underneath the canopy. We adjusted the nutrition. And after all of that... I look inside the room and think: Beautiful. 😂💙 Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B is standing there looking healthy, vigorous and completely ready for the next stage. She's approximately 145 cm tall. She's flowering. She's building. She's supported. She's getting airflow. She's getting nutrition. And she's still shining. That's what I love about this project. We can plan. We can prepare. We can train. We can measure. We can make mistakes. We can lose a little vertical space. 😂 But ultimately... the plants get the final word. And this week, their message was very clear: We're happy. Keep going. So that's exactly what we're going to do. The major work is behind us. Now we enter the much quieter part of the journey. We provide what they ask for. We keep the environment stable. We watch the flowers develop. We support the branches. And we let these beautiful girls finish the story they started seven weeks ago. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B doesn't need a dramatic rescue story. She doesn't need a complicated intervention. She simply needs her space, her support and her time. And now... she has all three. 💙🌸🥒 🙏 A Huge Thank You A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these beautiful Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics individually. A massive thank you to Plagron for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these girls through their incredibly vigorous growth and now deeper into flowering. A special thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, the curved scissors and the clip fans that continue helping us manage this increasingly impressive room. Thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that continues keeping these plants consistently supplied as their demand increases. And of course, thank you to GrowDiaries for providing this platform where we can document the successes, the mistakes, the unexpected moments and everything in between. And finally... thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. 💙 Four plants. One room. Different genetics. And somehow... this week they all decided they wanted to become giants. 😂🌱 We gave them more room. We cleaned them up. We supported them. We improved the airflow. And now we're going to let them do what they do best. Grow. Flower. Shine. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B is ready. The room is ready. The second net is ready. The airflow is ready. And the flowers are just getting started. Let's see how beautifully this girl finishes. Until next week... Keep shining, beautiful girl. 💙🥒🌸 Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

This is a must grow strain for anyone that likes a good balanced strong sativa , it grew well despite dripper and timer issues and had a really good medicinal side for crohns disease whilst leaving me energised and uplifted . This plant continues to stretch right until harvest even with heavy defoliating it ended up 150cm tall. The smell is really strong and differs between pheno types. One grew with almost no pistils/stigmas and was very frosty, this one could have continued Even after 9 weeks flowering . Overall this has taken over as my favourite sativa ! I WILL grow this again for sure and would recommend it to anyone who likes sativa or citrus smelling/tasting flower 💚 NB: I didn't weigh the bud wet so ignore the guess in the grow report.

Week 4 of flower Things going okay the cap mag is helping I think not having much de coloration on leafs still bottom watering and top watering in between bottom watering fill ups

Today Week 6 Day 48...was supposed to do this a week ago but as You can see I am about to Transplant Updated pictures tomorrow Week 7 Day 49

Experiencing problems with temperature being too high and added a large fan and keeping the tent open to control the heat. The plants are showing signs of heat stress. Moved the trellis down into the plant defoliated quite a lot and setup the canopy. About to move to flower once it all fills out nicely. Still have a heat problem that needs to be managed but I keep on putting it off. Flushed just some ph'd water until the runoff was around 6 ph. I lost a lot of the pictures I was taking due to a SD card corruption but I still have the time lapse photos and pictures of the trim lol this timelapse is probably my favorite!

Fed once this week with a weak feed including top max. I use kombucha vinegar as pH down. Water from my tap is ph6.8-7.0 and 38-42ppm so I might start using calmag supliment as the ppm at my old house used to come out of the tap at ph7. 2 and 200-220ppm. I had 2 plants that didn't like the light at 30000 lux and started bleaching so I took them out. I've defoliated today day 35 as humidity was getting over 80% and also to let light to the lower bud sights. Pre flower pistils showed on some plants around day 33 (some still have none) so I'll consider this the end of veg start of flower. The kalimist indica pheno is still not showing pre flower pistils but is always hard to force flowering when it's not mature for some reason. It's always 7-14 days behind everything else 🤔

Week 11 harvest Chop chop down she goes What an easy and rewarding plant, she done great for my mistakes also and every person NEEDS a sweet forgiving women Amen Nice sweet spunky smell I would grow again for sure

Went into flower after 25 hrs of darkness, switched from night time light cycle to day time light cycle as its actually cooler during the day in the house. Decided to go minimal salts and go mostly organic esp. With the macros NPK. Top soil amended with Azomkte, dolomite, ewc, bat guano, mycho, perlite

This wee was all vegative two phase. On day 7 this week the two shorter plants were transitioning to generative one phase. These girls are so fast the phases come and go quickly. This Last week was raining or cloudy everyday. I had to switch to dry nutes because the soil is staying wet. Feeding liquid nutrient mix/teas isn't an option. I've found a few specs of PM on the one plant I didn't top. I treated with Arbor bio fungicide and it's clearing up. The other two are showing immunity so far and are receiving no treatment.The nutes are listed as ml/gallon of soil topdressed. After day 2 inspection I believe I ran the nutes a little hot. They should grow into them. Adding a second topdress of 800ml of coop poop 2-4-3 on day 6 this week. We got a big rain day 7 early morning. It washed that coop poop topdress in and really gave the plants a good green color.The one that didn't get topped is pushing 64" the others are about 57" so I used an average. I recommend topping but to keep that one from falling any further behind I let it grow without topping. The one that wasn't topped is being treated for powdery mildew with Arbor bio fungicide. It's helping the other two are still showing immunity and are further along in flower.

Day 22: Hi all , hope we are all well. The Gluberry male has been banished now and wont be making another sneak attack ever again !. The remaining Glueberry ( #2) is now able to have her 1st gym session ( no social distancing or masks needed!). She has been bent over from her 4th node( no sniggering at the back !) so that her 5th(main) takes a horizontal path to the pots edges. The other growth below should form up similar to a quadline . Inwill allow it to go vertical when the flowering begins which should create 5 mains to develop into long chunky colas. Being an attempt to find my own best use of autos in this environment I use , is proving to be fun so far. Inhave other strains ( in my diaries here) that are being trained using this and other methods to again , see 1st hand what works for me. The Mimosa Lemon is doing really well too. she had her 1st session a few days ago and is responding perfectly so far. Both of these ladies are looking really healthy and green so far . I have not done a total soak of the medium yet and have been watering just outside of the plants leaf footprint. This is to encourage the rootball to set itself up for the flowering cycle and an important foundation for their overall possible yield. As above ,so below logic. lets see how they progress by the next update. be well and safe. welcome to the age of Aquarius. The feminine cycles turn !.
