28th August Finally the first pistils pop out. A glimpse of flower, allthough nothing compared to the other strains. She already got her bloom feed last time. Handfull of thomaskali. Maybe this helped to kick in flowering. Not as thirsty as the others

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Flush time, within the end of this week is now flush time. To summary this week i just kept on my feeding habits, Water with base > Water with boosters, alternating Recharge. My led seams to be crashing a bit, the colors are not stable as is possible to see in the timelapse. Trichomes are mostly cloudy, with a slight amber. 9 weeks flowering time will be exact, just need time to flush, they are maturing fast fast, hairs are getting orange in a blink. ------GG.AK47 COMMENT------ Compared to the Blueberry the nugs are thinner, still nice size, a bit less dense, thru the stems there are many popcorn buds, that is also due to the less removal on this girl to test. Loaded with colas and the scent is very sugary too, a bit stronger than the BB, and the hairs are turning orange faster, starting to look very mature. Defoliated a bit to avoid rot, will defoliate more for this reason.

Idk I thought I was having some problems some leafs were getting spotty I think it was Ph or too many nutrients but whatever it was it stopped and I clipped the spotty leaves. It's not growing much higher a very short plant its 25 but the main cola without lst would probably be around 30 inch. I believe the leaf death might have also been natural but I clipped leaves anyways for lower bud sites. Don't think much more height is coming with this plant. Hoping buds will fatten up over the next two weeks. I think harvest might even come before that if the signs are right

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 9 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno A 🌿 Too Much Stretch, Then a Big Reset Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter inside Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If you're new here, Project Blue Tent is our little experiment with four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia, each documented separately from seed to harvest. All four girls share the same environment, lighting, irrigation, nutrition and general cultivation philosophy. And yet, as always... they each have their own personality. Last week I was wondering just how much these girls were going to stretch after seven weeks of vegetation. Well... I got my answer. 😂 They stretched. A lot. And this week became one of those weeks where the grower has to stop watching and start acting. The plants were getting simply too tall. With the height of the pots and substrate, the drainage system underneath them, and the distance between the canopy and the LED fixtures becoming increasingly limited, some of the tops were getting dangerously close to the lights. So we made some changes. A fairly big reset, actually. And looking at the room now? I'm very happy with where we landed. 🌿 Pheno A – She Took the Invitation to Stretch Seriously Plant A is now approximately 145 cm tall. 😂 Yes. One hundred and forty-five centimetres. And when you add the height coming from the pots, substrate and drainage arrangement underneath the plants, that number becomes even more relevant when you're working inside a relatively limited vertical space. Last week she was already moving quickly. This week she basically said: "Hold my nutrient solution." 😂💙 The structure she built during those seven weeks of vegetation gave her an enormous amount of material to work with. The SCROG distributed that growth beautifully. But once flowering stretch really kicked in, all of that established structure began pushing upward. And eventually... we simply ran out of comfortable vertical room. So rather than fighting the plants continuously, we changed the room around them. 🕸️ The Second SCROG – Because These Girls Are Getting Big One of the biggest changes this week was the installation of a second SCROG net. This wasn't done because the first net failed. Quite the opposite. The first net did exactly what we wanted during vegetation: It helped distribute the plants horizontally and build an even canopy. But now these girls have become much taller. And as flowering progresses, those branches are going to become heavier. So the second net is there for something different: support. We're essentially creating another layer of structure through the upper portion of the plants. This gives the flowering branches something to lean against as the flowers develop and gain weight. And with plants this tall, I would much rather organize that structure now than discover later that a heavy flowering branch has decided to take a dramatic trip toward the floor. 😂 The second net also helps keep the canopy organized after the major defoliation. And looking at the room now... I think it was absolutely the right decision. ✂️ The Big Defoliation And then came the other major event of the week. Defoliation. Not a little cleanup. Not removing three leaves and calling it a day. We went deep. The room had become extremely dense, and with the plants stretching this aggressively, we needed to open everything up. We removed leaves where they were creating unnecessary congestion and took out foliage from stems where appropriate, leaving the productive growth and flowering structure we wanted to carry forward. This wasn't about making the plants look naked. It was about making the structure functional again. And there's an important distinction here. We're not defoliating because removing leaves magically creates more flowers. That's not the objective. Leaves are valuable. They're part of the plant's photosynthetic machinery. The objective here was to manage excessive congestion, improve visibility through the canopy, increase air movement through the plant and reduce the amount of unnecessary foliage competing for space around the developing flowers. We're trying to create a better working environment for the plant. Not punish the plant. Not stress it for the sake of stress. And certainly not remove every leaf we can find. 🌿 What We Expect From This Defoliation Now comes the interesting part. After a significant cleanup like this, I don't expect the plants to immediately look like they're growing faster. Quite the opposite. There can be a period where they need to settle. They've lost a considerable amount of leaf area. We've physically changed their architecture. So I expect the plants to spend some time adjusting and continuing their transition into flowering. What I'm hoping to gain is something different: better structure. Better airflow. Better light penetration. Better access to the flowering sites. Less congestion. And a much easier canopy to manage as the flowers continue developing. Will it completely stop the stretch? No. I wouldn't expect that. The plants are already well into their flowering transition, and genetics, plant maturity and environmental conditions still have a huge influence on how much they stretch. But by removing excess congestion and adding the second SCROG, we've made the remaining structure considerably easier to manage. Now we watch. 🔥 A Few LED Burned Tops – And We Caught It There was another little lesson hidden inside all that stretching. Some tops had gotten too close to the LEDs. And we saw a few leaves and flowering tips showing signs of LED stress/burning. Nothing catastrophic. Nothing that concerns me at this point. But definitely something we needed to address. And honestly? I'm glad we caught it now. Because once the plants were getting that close to the lights, we were already running out of room to work with. So we attacked the problem from several directions. We moved the ventilation equipment outside the tent. We raised the LEDs. We opened the canopy. We installed another SCROG. And suddenly... we gained some valuable vertical breathing room. That little bit of extra space can make a huge difference inside a tent. 🌬️ Moving the Carbon Filter & Extractor Outside Another major change was moving the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent. Previously, having that equipment inside the tent was consuming precious vertical space. And with these girls reaching toward the lights, every centimetre suddenly became valuable. So we moved the filter and extractor to the top of the tent. The system now pulls air from the tent through the carbon filter and extractor and then exhausts it outside. This gave us the space we desperately needed. And that allowed us to raise the LED fixtures closer to the top of the tent rather than having the ventilation equipment occupying that valuable ceiling space. It sounds like a relatively small modification. But in a tent with plants this tall? Huge difference. Sometimes the solution isn't changing the plant. Sometimes it's changing the room around the plant. 😂💙 💡 More Room for the Lights And this is one of the most satisfying results of the whole operation. Once the ventilation equipment was moved outside, we could bring the LEDs higher. That immediately created more separation between the flowering tops and the fixtures. The few areas that had experienced LED stress were addressed before things could become serious. And now we have much more room to work with. That's exactly what I wanted. Because I don't want to spend the remainder of flowering constantly fighting the ceiling. I want these girls to have somewhere to finish. They already have plenty of height. Now we need them to put their energy into the flowers. 🌬️ Two Fans – Creating a Vortex We also added a second Zamnesia clip fan, positioned underneath the canopy. So now we have: One fan above. One fan below. And the goal isn't simply to make the leaves move. We're trying to create a more complete circulation pattern through the tent. With one fan moving air across the upper canopy and another helping move air underneath, the airflow can circulate through different levels of the room rather than leaving the lower portion relatively stagnant. The idea is to encourage a kind of vortex-style circulation through the canopy. Air moves. Circulates. Changes direction. And continues moving through the plant structure. This is particularly important now because we've spent the week opening the canopy and creating space. There's no point creating all that space if the air simply sits there. So now we've got airflow working from above and below. And looking at the room? It feels considerably more alive. 🌿 The Room After Defoliation I have to say... I love the way the room looks now. Before the defoliation, it was an absolute jungle. Beautiful. Healthy. But incredibly dense. Now? You can see the architecture. You can see the branches. You can see the flowering sites. You can see the second SCROG. You can see the airflow equipment. And most importantly... you can see the plants. 😂💙 The room feels organized again. And that's exactly what we needed. These girls have been growing extremely aggressively. Now we're giving them a structure in which that growth can actually be managed. ✂️ A Word About Scissors I also want to mention something that might seem insignificant but is actually very important to me. The Zamnesia curved scissors. I really like these. For much of my defoliation, I actually use my fingers. If a leaf can be gently removed without cutting anything else, that's often my preference. But that's not always possible. Some leaves are tucked into awkward places. Some are smaller. Some are delicate. Some require a precise cut. And that's where the scissors come in. But there is one rule I don't compromise on: Clean scissors. Always. Even when they're brand new, I still like to make sure the scissors are clean before using them. When you're moving from plant to plant and making multiple cuts, cleanliness matters. We're working with living tissue. So there's no reason to introduce unnecessary contamination into the process. Clean tools. Gentle hands. Deliberate cuts. And don't cut something just because you happen to have scissors in your hand. 😂 💙 Pheno A After the Reset And now... let's come back to our girl. Because despite all the work this week, Pheno A looks fantastic. She's still one of the larger structures in this tent. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's got plenty of flowering sites. And after the cleanup, her architecture is much easier to appreciate. The plant has gone from: "How the hell are we going to fit all of this in here?" to: "Okay. Now we have a plan." 😂💙 The flowers are there. The structure is there. The health is there. And now she has additional support underneath her developing flowering branches. This is a very good place to be heading into the next stage. 🌸 From Building Plant to Building Flowers This is the transition I'm most interested in now. Up until this point, so much of the conversation has been about growth. Height. Branches. SCROG. Canopy. Stretch. But now? The plant has done enough building. I want to see her start putting more of that energy into flowering. The architecture is established. The second net is installed. The canopy has been opened. The lighting has been raised. The airflow has been improved. The room has been reorganized. Now we let her work. And hopefully... the next photographs will show us exactly what all that preparation was for. Beautiful flowers getting bigger. 💧 Nutrition – The Girls Are Hungry Another important development this week is nutrition. The girls are absolutely loving the feeding. So we've increased the Hydro A and Hydro B recipe slightly. We're now running: 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 small increase has brought the EC up accordingly. Current recorded EC is approximately 2.49 mS/cm. And again, this wasn't some dramatic change. It was simply a small progression because the plants are consuming aggressively and showing us that they are ready for it. They're growing. They're flowering. They're drinking. They're hungry. So we listen. And we adjust. That's the whole philosophy. Don't feed a number. Feed the plant. 🌡️ Week 9 Environment The current recorded conditions are: 🌸 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 environment remains remarkably stable. And that's especially valuable after a week where we've physically changed so much of the room. The plants have enough to deal with simply adapting to their new architecture. I don't want environmental instability adding another variable. So now... stability. Consistency. Observation. 🔬 Same Room. Same Conditions. Four Different Girls. One thing that's fascinating about this particular project is how uniform the room remains despite the plants being so vigorous. The four Blue Waffle F1 girls are remarkably similar. They all went through the same long vegetative period. They all experienced the same lighting. They all received the same irrigation. They all received the same nutrition. They all experienced the same environmental conditions. And now they're all showing that same general flowering transition. There are individual differences, of course. That's what we're documenting. But overall? They are behaving like sisters. And that's making this experiment incredibly interesting. 🌿 What I'm Watching Now After this week's reset, there are several things I'm going to be watching closely. First: How quickly does the stretch settle? Second: How do the plants respond to the heavy defoliation? Third: How does the second SCROG hold the flowering branches as they gain weight? Fourth: How does the new airflow pattern perform under a developing flowering canopy? And finally... How much of that beautiful vegetative structure is going to turn into flowers? Those are the questions now. We've done the work. Now we observe the results. 🌸 The Big Lesson From This Week If there's one thing this week reminded me of, it's that a grow isn't always about having a perfect plan. Sometimes you make the best plan you can. Then the plant laughs at you. 😂 We knew they might stretch. We didn't know they'd stretch this much. So we adapted. We moved the ventilation equipment. We raised the LEDs. We cleaned the canopy. We installed another SCROG. We added another fan. We adjusted the nutrition. And now? The room is looking better than it did before the problem appeared. That's what I consider a successful grow. Not avoiding every problem. Recognizing them early and adapting intelligently. 🔭 Looking Ahead – Now We Let Them Flower And this is where things get exciting. The girls have been through a major reset. The canopy is open. The second SCROG is in place. The LEDs are higher. The ventilation system has been moved outside. Airflow is now working from above and below. The plants are receiving their updated nutrition. And Pheno A? She's standing there at 145 cm, looking at me like none of this was particularly dramatic. 😂💙 Now I want to see what she does with the room we've created for her. Hopefully the aggressive vertical growth begins to calm down. Hopefully the flowers start becoming the dominant story. Hopefully the second SCROG gives us the support we need as those flowers gain weight. And hopefully those few LED-stressed tops recover without further drama. I think we caught that issue early enough. Now we watch. 💙 Final Thoughts – The Room Is Back Under Control What a week. Seriously. 😂 We went from: "They're stretching a little." to: "Okay, these girls are going to hit the LEDs." And then we went to work. The carbon filter and extractor moved outside the tent. The LEDs went higher. The canopy received a serious cleanup. A second SCROG was installed. A second Zamnesia clip fan went underneath the canopy. Airflow now works from above and below. The nutrition was increased slightly. A few LED-burned leaves and tops were cleaned up. And after all of that... I look at the room and smile. Because it looks beautiful. The plants look healthy. The structure is organized. The flowering sites are everywhere. And Pheno A is absolutely shining. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's beautifully developed. And now she's finally got some breathing room. 🌿💙 The defoliation wasn't about making her smaller. It wasn't about forcing her to flower. It wasn't about chasing some magical yield increase. It was about taking an overly crowded flowering structure and making it more functional. The second SCROG isn't there because we expect failure. It's there because these girls have become substantial plants and we want to support them properly. The second fan isn't there simply to make the leaves dance. It's there to help create better circulation through the entire canopy. Moving the ventilation equipment wasn't cosmetic. It gave us precious vertical space. And raising the LEDs gave us more room between the fixtures and the flowering tops. Every change had a reason. And now... we wait. The girls have done their part. We've done ours. Now let's see what Blue Waffle F1 Pheno A does with this new chapter. Because I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to get very interesting. 💙🌸🌿 🙏 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 Blue Waffle F1 genetics phenotype by phenotype. Thank you to Plagron for the Hydro nutrient line and everything supporting these girls through this very vigorous cycle. A massive thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting and for the curved scissors and clip fan that have become part of the practical side of this project. Thank you to Mars Hydro for the irrigation and drainage system that continues keeping these girls supplied while they absolutely demolish their water. 😂💙 And thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document all of this craziness and share it with growers around the world. Most importantly... thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. This week was definitely one of those chapters where the plants reminded us who's actually in charge. We planned. They stretched. We adapted. 😂 And now the room is ready for the next phase. Four Blue Waffle F1 girls. One room. One environment. One very ambitious flowering canopy. And a second SCROG ready to catch whatever these ladies decide to throw at us next. Let's see how they finish. Until next week... More room. More airflow. More support. And hopefully a lot more flowers. 💙🌸🌿 Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

6/15. Glad I listened to my intuition and held off watering. IT Rained andctheb again last night. Plants seem to be doingvreal well. Slight burn on lower leaves where it was before from being in the garage and I found on spot that LOOKED like it could've been caused by a pillar but it's right on a burn. I sefoliated one leaf. This is minor stuff. Next watering I'll be adding silica. I'm not giving nutes until the plants tell the need them. The 3 gallon ones may receive nutes first as they'll run out. I'll update as I progress. Went back over at 8:30. It's just overcast with showers. Plants seemed to like it. They all look good. Noticed a chunk out of a leaf and a POSSIBLE pillar spot. I'm going to have to get the BT out and and give the girls an application. I'm waiting until they settle in a bit more though. I need to start LST as well AND the light dep. Unfortunately "life" has made things difficult. I'll get back over there today though and I'll start the light dep. Kinda makes me wonder though. The 1pth planet I wanted to light deo is tge same size as the others in the much bigger containers. The thought came that maybe I should just hold on to them as extras in case something happens. I also am going to start silica next watering but it will be a few weeks before any nutes are given. UPDATE: WENT BACK OVER AT FIVE AND TOOK ACSHOT TON OF PICTURES. IM TRYING TO UOLOAD NOW. THINGS ARE POPPING OFF AND IM GETTING A NICE SWEET SKUNKY ODOR. WHILE I WASCTHERE WE GOT A QUICK SHOWER. DIDNT LAST MORE THAN TEN MINUTES BUT IT RAINED HARD. I FOUND A TEMPORARY SPOT TO LIGHT DEP THE TWO PURPLE PUNCH AND THE ONE TENTH PLANET. I DONT SEE ANY LIGHT LEALS AND ITS SURE AS HELL DARKER THAN IT IS AT NIGHT. I'LL SEE HOW IT GOES LEQVING THE COVER ON ALL NIGHT. IF IT DOESNT WORK I MAY JEED TO ADD A FAN OR CHANCECTHE SPACE. I ALMOST DIDNT WANT TO DO THIS AS THE 10TH PLANET IS KEEPING PACE WITH ITS SISTERS, DESPITE THE SMALLER POT. OH WELL I WANT TO GIVE IT A SHOT AND I DONT WANT MY CAGE OVER CROWDED. I'M LOOKONG TO DO A 6:30 TO 6:30 SCHEDULE. 6/16 First night of light dep for the three little ones. I won't be able to call them that soon. I'm currently trying to upload a video. My grow buddy mentioned the droopiness of a couple of my plants in this video and how I hadn't been watering. This kinda scared me so I ran over and checked the too few inches on the two that had a little droop and came out dry. I had some water already phed ready to go (I'm hoping that the ph doesn't change if it's stored a day or two) and used the gallon to moisten the dry topsoil. Looking back over my diary we have had nothing but rain. I then tried the "lift the pot method" and came to the conclusion that these bags were indeed still holding moisture. I assumed they would be considering the thunderstorms we've had. I held off on fullt watering because the weather said the next dry day is going to be Monday. Today is Friday so thats two solid days of rain. Three if you count today through the night. I concentrated my watering of the one gallon on the couple plants that appeared to droop. If it doesn't rain like they say it will I will need to water. I need to set up a decent watering schedule but I need it to hold off raining long enough to do so. UPDATE: I WENT BACK OVER AND PUT THE 3 GALS IN FOR BED AND CHECKED OUT THE REST OF THE GARDEN. I WATERED THE 3 GAL GIRLS A LITTLE MORE SINCE THEY WONT BE OUTSIDE. THE BIT OF WATER I GAVE SEEMED TO HELP LIFT SOME OF THE GIRLS. AT LEAST I THINK IT DID. THE RAIN SHOULDVE COME ALREADY. I WOULDVE WATERED MORE HAD THE BAGS NOT BEEN SO HEAVY. 6/17 Rained all night which is good. Brought the three transplants out but left them under the overhang so they. Dont get soaked. So far light depoing is going good. Well its only been two nights but we'll see. I'll update as I go. Not feeling well today. Went back over and checked on the plants and did a video. Probably won't get uploaded until tomorrow. I'm giving it a shot. It's raining in good shape. Plants looked fine when I was there. I need to get my supports and my trellis in place. Video won't upload. No suprise. I'll get it tomorrow. 6/18 Uploaded videos if they fuck up from me editing I'm gonna be pissed. Anyway it's still pouring with high winds. I added a couple supports where it looked like it needed it. I need to put my trellis up. I've been able to keep up with the light dep and those plants haven't been used and abused. They stay in the building facing the sun when the weather is this bad. I think they're looking great. I may start a new diary just for them. Sun came out around four. Trying to upload a couple videos but doesn't look like it's going to happen. Tucked the three little ones in at six. It had stopped raining and the wind died down some. If adverse conditions create good plants then I'm on the way to a great harvest. Minor bleaching and burns on a few lower fan leaves and some wrinkling on some from wind burn other than that plants seem to be acclimated. Did a video but will have to wait until tomorrow to upload 6/19 It's not raining! We got four inches this past storm lol. Having the bags raised on pollens I believe has greatly helped. As did the high winds that help dry the soil in the bag. Had to add a few temporary supports. Light dep is going good. Adjusted amd found a better spot. I'm considering getting "pool noodles" or some other thing like a Hulu hoops or pvc pipe and making either a frame on the roof for the entire cage or on top of each individual plants posts so I could roll clear plastic over it when it rains. I'm thinking about later on in the fall when this could really help. I found a roll of plastic. Also thought about putting that up on the back wall but I didn't. What I'm doing right now is working. I just need to keep up with it. I also need a solid watering schedule to stick too. It's hard when each plants needs are different. Oh well. I'm just happy to be growing again. I pray to the cannabis gods and the Lord above himself that I'm not plagued with the problems of last year. 6/20. I'm sick as fuck but I got the little girls out in the sun. Light dep is going good. Plants look great. I'll update when I feel better and if I do anything. Still feel like shit. Luckily I looked up just in time to get to the grow and put the little ones to bed. They were thirsty (especially the bushy 10th planet so I gave them about 3/4 of a gallon of water. Got lots of run off from 10th planet. Didn't notice as much from the others but I was hurrying. I'll upload later. Still sick. 6/21 Plants seem to be doing great. I removed some lower growth on a few just to see how they respond. I'm going to do some defoliation down low and I want to see how the plants respond. I'm planning my first full watering Thursday as we have a real good stretch of weather after that. Grow bags are still heavy as hell so they have sufficient water. I'll be adding silica nextcl watering. Not time for nutes but I think it would be okay to start the silica and in another week I might start small doses of nutes. The light dep on the little girls is go8ng great! It's cool I'll get to sample some of these strains before fall. I'll update after I do something. Tucked the girls in at 6. I might need to think about transplanting that 10th planet in the 3 gallon. I watered until runoff yesterday and it's light as hell today. Plus I fimked it and it's bushy as hell. I've Bern turning it si it gets all angles of the sun. I have a bag of 707 left and a 5 gallon bucket with holes drilled all over it like an air pot and a ten gallon grow bag. This will take some thought. Hot af today. I wad able to lift the grow bags so I decided tomorrow will be the girls first real watering. I think I'll be adding silica and possibly kelp me kelp you due to the heat stress I've been noticing. Nothing bad just a few tacoed leaves. I've had several people that have seen my grow in person tell me that this is by far the healthiest (not biggest I've had bigger) but by farcthe healthies5 crop I've grown. They believe I'll have my best year ever this year. I hope they are right. Vid won't be uploaded until tomorrow. 6/22 WATERED TODAY. I'm still a little gun shy with watering. That fusarium last year pretty much traumatized me. I left the container plants alone. I gave them a little water but not enough to do much. I used a pump sprayer on a mist setting and went one by one and back around gently watering the entire medium. This took forever and I'll be finding a different way to water. I hope this was enough water. I'll check later on and if they look like they want more I give it to them. I started LST on the light dep 10th planet and tucked some branches of a another under the tomato cage. I had missed that earlier. I also went around and cleaned up the bottoms on most. Getting rid of things that will amount to nothing. I noticed what looked like thrip damage on ONE leaf on ONE plant. I also saw a chunk missing from a grasshopper bite and a finger of a fan leaf petiol was broken so I'm going to need to get my ipm up and running. I'm unsure whether I'll be using chemicals or predators. Probably BT and spinosad. That's what I've had the best luck with. I also noticed bottom leaves dying off on the bottom of a couple plants. It was where the burns were though so I'm almost 100% its just related to the light burns they got when i first put them up. I'll be updating the diary as I do more stuff.

growth is continuing well. I should have packed the substrate a little more. a slight deficiency in mag appeared on 2 subjects that I corrected by spraying neem oil with calmag as well as spraying 0.5ml with liter calmag. I received the new uv and infrared auxiliary lighting from marshydro that I installed on the rake. I think it's still cheap in terms of wiring and driver. Finally, I plan to implement an lst this weekend. thank you all I take all your eminent and less eminent advice;)

I've brought the PPM down again and kept the pH at 5.7-5.8, plant looks great first grow so very happy, Alot of Trichomes and don't know if I should be getting ready to flush and harvest, buds still getting fatter and she's still thirsty and drinking water but a lot of amber pistils and not sure if the crystals are clear or Milky but plant looks Great, just unsure when to harvest, I've reduced nutes a little more and calyxs still fattening up, gonna hopefully start flushing at end of this week for about 2-3 days in my 4gallon bucket

4/28/25 chopped at day 54 of flowering. Top buds have a nice amount of amber trichomes. was going to let her go another week but the threat of pests made me chop early but its okay shes ready. will update with final weight and smoke report in a week or so. 5/5/25 dried for 7 days and then jarred. i am finding that she was self producing fairly lowkey and successfully. balls and male parts with seeds right below. Probably wont continue with these seeds and i tossed the clones. This plant is white with the density of trichomes on her. She would probably test fairly high.

Inicio de floración , fotoperiodo 12/12h. bajo 300W, ATS Pro 2,7 µmol/J. Por lo que hace al cultivo. Una segunda aplicación foliar con Spider boom 3ml/l para prevenir posibles plagas de araña roja. Todo y habiendo unas temperaturas en el exterior de 0ºC en el interior se está bastante bién. 😋 Así de primeras diria que esta luminaria me parece de lo mejorcito que he tenido nunca, reparte la luz como ninguna otra penetrando mucho mejor. Otra es la comodidad para bajar o subir la potencia y la posibilidad de añadirle un controlador que monitorea la temperatura de la sala de cultivo, el fotoperiodo y la intensidad, así como la atenuación de potencia. Esta semana cansado de ir bajando o subiendo la potencia del extractor durante todo el año he decidido probar un SMSCom Smart Controller. De esta manera espero no sufrir tanto por las subidas ni por las bajadas de temperatura. Muchas veces son las que por A o por B descuido el interior y casulamente son los dias que el tiempo cambia repentinamente. Un primer foliar con Delta9 para que se pongan fuertes para lo que les viene.
