🌱 Week 3 | Purple Haze Photo | Folder 6B | A Different Personality Emerges Although Purple Haze 6B shares the same genetics, environment, nutrition, and cultivation method as her sister, she is already beginning to express her own unique growth pattern. This is precisely why each phenotype in Project Blue receives its own individual diary. Every plant has a story worth documenting, and comparing them side by side allows us to appreciate the subtle differences that make growing from seed such an exciting experience. Like every plant in this project, Purple Haze 6B is being cultivated using the 12/12 From Seed technique. From germination onward, the plants receive a flowering photoperiod, encouraging compact growth while allowing each phenotype to naturally develop its own architecture before flowering fully takes over. It’s an unconventional approach, but one that consistently produces healthy, manageable plants while showcasing each phenotype’s individuality. During this third week the plant settled comfortably into her new container and responded with a noticeable burst of vegetative growth. Looking back at the first photographs and comparing them to the final images of the week, the improvement is impressive. The canopy has expanded considerably, secondary branches are becoming increasingly active, and the plant is building the framework that will eventually support her flowers. Growing Environment As with every diary in this project, environmental stability remains one of the highest priorities. Throughout the week the conditions remained consistent: * Temperature: 27°C (lights on) * 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 Keeping these parameters stable allows the plants to focus their energy on producing healthy roots, vigorous stems, and continuous vegetative growth rather than constantly adapting to environmental changes. Feeding Program Purple Haze 6B continues receiving the complete Plagron Terra feeding schedule: * 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’m not chasing explosive growth. My objective is to establish an exceptionally healthy root system, maintain balanced nutrition, and encourage strong structural development before flowering begins in earnest. Healthy foundations almost always produce healthier harvests. A Bushier Growth Pattern One characteristic that immediately stands out in this phenotype is her naturally bushy structure. Rather than stretching vertically, she appears determined to produce numerous secondary shoots from every node. The lateral branches are developing rapidly and are already beginning to compete with the main stem for dominance, creating what should become a beautifully even canopy in the weeks ahead. The fan leaves remain broad and healthy, showing excellent turgor with a rich green colour that suggests the feeding program is well balanced. New growth emerges bright green before gradually darkening as each leaf matures—a normal sign of vigorous development. The stem is thickening steadily and every new internode is adding more potential flowering sites. Gentle Canopy Management As with the rest of the Project Blue plants, no aggressive training has been necessary. Instead, I’ve continued using simple leaf tucking throughout the week. Rather than removing healthy foliage, I gently reposition the larger fan leaves beneath neighboring branches, allowing more light to reach the developing side shoots hidden below. This simple technique offers several advantages: * Improves light penetration. * Encourages stronger lateral branch development. * Maintains maximum photosynthetic capacity. * Eliminates unnecessary recovery time associated with defoliation. At this stage every healthy fan leaf is an energy factory. My philosophy is to preserve as many of them as possible while simply helping the plant organize its own canopy. Sometimes the simplest techniques deliver the best long-term results. Looking Forward Purple Haze 6B is developing into a wonderfully compact, vigorous phenotype with excellent branching and impressive canopy density. Every day she seems to produce another layer of healthy growth, and the structure she’s building now should provide an outstanding foundation for flowering. It will be fascinating to compare her with Purple Haze 6A over the coming weeks. Although they started from the same seed line and have received identical treatment, they’re already beginning to reveal their individual personalities—one slightly more symmetrical, the other naturally bushier and eager to fill every available space. Those subtle differences are one of the greatest joys of phenotype hunting, and documenting each one separately ensures that none of those unique traits are lost along the journey. A huge thank you to Plagron, Zamnesia, GrowDiaries, and everyone following along with Project Blue. Mr. Baggy wandered through for another inspection this week and confidently declared that this young lady has absolutely no intention of growing quietly in the corner. Judging by her vigorous branching, I have a feeling he’s right. Growers Love 🌱🛍️

We have a full recovery from fungal infection. No signs of mites. All good over here! Moving to the outdoor location this weekend. Pics to update as progress happens. 55gal of soil in 65gal pot with cover crop and mulch with blumat irrigation.

I love the smell of this plant it is so nice and jummy 😀 candy and lemon also she is very sticky 😋

Do not pay attention to the temperature on the thermometer in the middle, it lies by a couple of degrees. I have a good thermometer on top of the box that shows the temperature. Day 29: After a terrible fracture, we see that the plant is beginning to recover. I'm honestly disappointed because it makes it very difficult for me to train mainlining and it will also increase the amount of time it takes to grow. Day 30: It looks much better already, I could superprune the right branch, but I don't want to stress it. I will try to bend the right branch harder, I will bend the left one a little in the morning the next day, maybe early. Day 31: This morning I cut the lower leaves, photo in the evening and continued the LST training after the injury. Photo in the evening. Day 32: I am completely sure that the plant has moved away from the stress, but we can see on the left circle, the right bud (and side) slowed growth. Day 34: I saw traces of salt on the tips of the new leaves, so now I pour water with regular 15 PPM.

14APR- 20APR 70klux burned plants and cause leaf temps to hit 87f Moved lights to 12 inch 50-65kLux and leaf Temp was at 82

Day 115 since seed touched soil. Joe is harvested, a bit early, bottoms needed way more time, some tops were still flowering even, but i leave country and almost no time was left ... Happy Growing !!!

SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY TRANSPLANT #2 THIS WEEK!!!! This week was a great one, lots of sun and gave the plants their 2nd transplant of the cycle. only one left to go in a few weeks, the plan was to do 3gal but I feel it would be best to go upto 4gal a 1extra gallon will not be all that much extra root space to expand into. Will have to check if they even make them in 4. I have a feeling its only 1,2,3. Root wise they are looking similar but not identical. I would say the Dynomyco treated plant has a thicker rootball and more of them. but not by a massive amount. More white on the Dynomyco treated plant as well. added in some more Acti-Sol into the transplant medium. same mix as before. Then watered in with some LAB Serum. should do the plants well. I did not add in anymore of the MIIM microbial mass product as I thought it might alter the results of the grow. so we will see how they do now with out it. I'm really liking how well the plants are bushing up. I might have to take some clones and try them indoors as well. I think I prefer to grow more indica leaning strain for their growth habits. SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY===SPONSORED DIARY This is my diary entry into the Dynomyco Show Us What You Got Contest! #DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! @DynomycoShowUsWhatYouGot! @Dynomyco Big Shoutout to @Dynomyco for picking me in their contest. Happy to be involved and as a user of Dynomyco I am curious to see this side by side with my own eyes. I will be honest I am a little skeptical it will show any major differences. but we will see what happens. Some disclaimers, I am still using LABS serum I made, This is also beneficial to the root mass however it's a bacteria based product and not fungal or mycorrhizae like Dynomyco. https://growdiaries.com/giveaways/DYNOMYCO_Show_Us_What_You_Got

Has been a good week, back to full nutrients after running out of bloom and top max so should hopefully see alot of growth this week from my lemons and some bud fattening on my pineapple 😁 I think the pineapple has a couple weeks left til I do a flush but gonna try to resist chopping her down too early wanna get this one right 🤞 Hope everyone's having a good week ✌️

Few buds but fat and deep purple💜

Top dressed Asman and Asal with a tablespoon of Dr. Earth Bloom and 3 tbs of worm castings. Added terpinator, microbials and molasses to calmag'd water. Benesh got fed last week with the same load/mix and is doing great. No defoliation or much training early this week. Did some heavier defoliation on Sunday to give more of the bigger and higher buds space. Will make a TCHA tincture off of the defoliated buds, which I will add to later. Lovely mint and chocolate aromas on my fingers after the defoliation.

OOOOOH at this time i love all of you, growmie 😍 200gr of pure happiness, never before! 🙌 Buds are compact like rock, shine like diamond...it's unbelivable, looks perfect! At last, mold take me about 20g of buds 😩 But it is ok, the jar is overfull and i'm so happy XD Now let's wait for the right taste......for now is greatful! 😜 Thanks to Dutch Passion for this opportunity, i'm really proud!! 🙏 Thanks to all of you growmie, for your support 🙏 to the next adventure!

She was a bigger stretcher leading into week 4-5 of flower. Definitely need to hunt this cross in the future, insane terps amazing smell overall shes a banger 🍪🔥

This week marks the final phase of flowering for both strains, and it’s been an incredible run. The colas are fully swollen, trichomes are mostly cloudy with around 10–15% amber, and the terpene intensity is off the charts. Every movement near the canopy releases that unmistakable scent — fruity, spicy, and heavy with resin. 24K Gold is showing her signature golden hues now. The buds are compact, sticky, and sparkling with trichomes. Pistils have mostly turned orange and curled in tightly, showing clear maturity. Gelato 33 looks equally stunning — thick, frost-covered buds with a creamy-sweet scent and purple undertones emerging under the lights. Her structure remained open enough to prevent mold despite the high density. Both plants handled the last nutrient increase (8 ml/L Canna Coco A+B) perfectly — no signs of stress or nutrient burn. From here, they’re transitioning into the flushing phase, allowing the remaining nutrients to fade out for a cleaner, smoother finish. Environmental conditions: • 🌡️ Temperature: 25.0–25.3 °C • 💧 Humidity: 52–53 % • 🌫️ VPD: 1.3–1.34 kPa • 💨 Airflow: Steady and dry for the final days This week’s update also includes defoliation and trimming before drying — the canopy has opened up nicely, and the buds are ready for harvest. The next entry will focus on flushing, fade, and drying results.

Day 49 after switch. very nice i would say :) everything is getting bigger and frosty. no complains so far. last week watering with PK 5-8, then just water until she´s finished.

È stato un vero piacere incontrare Herbies Seeds con la loro Mimosa Shot 🌼🎇. Davvero grazie di cuore a Herbies Seeds per averci dato l opportunità di crescere la sua bella ragazza 💚🔝🙏🏼😘
