Deep Forest has a great smell but Is still growing. She has not had a point where she has tried to finish. So hopefully it is still good and just bulking a lot. I would like her to finish up though. Onto another week 👍🏻. Thank you Gen1:11, Medic Grow, and Doctor's Choice. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g.

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 9 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno A 🌿 When The Plants Make You Rearrange The Room Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 And... what a week this has been. If you've been following this project from the beginning, you already know that these four Blue Waffle F1 and Pickle Lemon Haze F1 plants have been growing with an incredible amount of energy. This week, however, they finally made one thing very clear: We were running out of room. 😂 The plants had stretched much more than I wanted. The LEDs were getting too close. The combination of the drainage system, pots, substrate and overall height of the plants was eating into our available vertical space. So... we adapted. And Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A was right there in the middle of it all. Growing. Stretching. Flowering. And apparently completely unconcerned about the fact that she was becoming too tall for her own room. 😂💙 So this week wasn't about sitting back and watching. This week was about reorganizing the environment around these girls and giving them the space they need to continue the journey. 🌸 Week Nine – The Stretch Was Real Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is now approximately 145 cm tall. And that's the plant itself. Add the pot. Add the substrate. Add the drainage system underneath everything. Then look at where the LEDs were sitting... Suddenly those 145 centimetres become a very serious number inside a tent. 😂 I knew we could see significant stretching after seven weeks of vegetation. We discussed it last week. The plants had already gained a considerable amount of height almost immediately after the flip. But honestly? They still managed to surprise me. They didn't just stretch a little. They stretched enough that we had to rethink the physical arrangement of the room. And I think that's one of the most important lessons from this week. Sometimes you don't solve a plant problem by changing the plant. You solve it by changing the room. 💡 Making Room For The Canopy The first major change was moving the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent and onto the top. Previously, that equipment was taking up valuable vertical space inside the grow area. By relocating it, we gained those precious centimetres back. The airflow system now pulls air from inside the tent, through the carbon filter and extractor positioned above, and then exhausts it outside. And that gave us something we desperately needed: room above the plants. Once the equipment was out of the way, we were able to raise the LEDs toward the top of the tent. That immediately gave the canopy more breathing room. And considering some of the tops had already started showing signs of getting too close to the lights... this was very welcome. 🔥 A Few Tops Got Too Close Before we made the changes, we did have a few leaves and tops showing some LED stress. Nothing catastrophic. Nothing that has changed the overall health of the plants. But there were some burned areas where the canopy had simply gotten too close to the light. The important thing is that we caught it. We raised the LEDs. We opened the canopy. We created more space. And now we're watching how the affected areas recover. That's part of running a real grow. You can calculate distances. You can watch environmental numbers. You can plan your canopy. But eventually the plant gives you the final report. And in this case, the report was: "Doctor... the sun is a little too close." 😂☀️ Message received. ✂️ The Big Defoliation Once we had created the additional vertical space, the next job was opening the plants. And we went deep. There was a significant amount of foliage removed from the room. The plants had become incredibly dense, and at this stage that density needed to be managed. The purpose wasn't to remove leaves simply because we had scissors in our hands. The purpose was to reduce unnecessary congestion and expose the flowering structure we've spent so much time building. More visibility. More airflow. More room around the flowering sites. A cleaner canopy. And a better-organized flowering room. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A came through the process beautifully. And when you look at her now... you can actually see the architecture again. The branches. The flowering sites. The SCROG. The spacing. Everything is much easier to read. 🌿 What Defoliation Is — And What It Isn't I think this is worth explaining because we're showing quite a significant defoliation in the photographs. Defoliation isn't about removing healthy leaves because healthy leaves are somehow undesirable. They're not. The leaves are doing important work. What we're managing here is excessive foliage and congestion inside a very dense flowering room. The plants had built an enormous amount of vegetative material. Now we're transitioning toward a flowering structure. So we're selectively reducing what we don't need in order to make the remaining architecture more functional. And I'm not expecting the defoliation to magically create flowers. That's not the point. The point is simply to give the flowers and remaining canopy a better environment in which to develop. Now we've done the work. And now... we leave the plants to respond. 🕸️ The Second SCROG Is In The other major addition this week is the second SCROG net. The first SCROG helped us build and distribute the canopy during vegetation. It did its job beautifully. But these girls have become much taller than originally anticipated. And now we're thinking about the future weight of those flowering branches. So the second net is primarily about support. We're not trying to turn these plants back into a vegetative canopy. We're preparing the structure to carry what is coming. Because looking at these plants now... I have a feeling some of those branches are going to appreciate having something underneath them later. 😂 It's always better to have support ready before you need it. 🌬️ Two Fans – Creating The Vortex We also added another Zamnesia clip fan, this time underneath the canopy. We now have one fan working higher in the room and another operating lower down. The goal is to create more complete circulation through the growing space. The lower fan pushes air through the lower portion of the plants while the upper airflow continues moving air through the canopy. Together, this creates a kind of vortex-style circulation rather than having air movement concentrated in only one area. That's particularly valuable now. We've opened the canopy. We've created more space. Now we want air moving through that space. Not just across the top. Not just underneath. Through the room. And looking at the tent now... I really like what we've created. The room feels much more organized. ✂️ Clean Tools – Always Another little detail I want to mention is the Zamnesia curved scissors. I really like these. For most of the larger defoliation work, I actually use my fingers. If a leaf can be gently removed without cutting anything else, that's often my preferred method. But there are always those little leaves, delicate areas and awkward positions where scissors are simply the better tool. And whenever we're using scissors around the plants: Clean. Always. Even if they're brand new, I still like to clean them. It's such a small part of the process, but it's one of those habits that makes sense. Clean hands. Clean tools. Gentle work. And only remove what needs removing. 🌸 And Then There's That Broken Branch... Now we need to talk about last week's little accident. 😂 Unfortunately... the branch we broke while training last week did not survive. We tried. We supported it. We gave it time. But sometimes... a branch is simply done. And that's okay. It happens. I'm certainly not going to pretend otherwise. The important thing is what happened to the rest of the plant. And the answer is: Absolutely nothing. She carried on. The plant didn't suddenly collapse. She didn't stop developing. She didn't lose her momentum. She didn't let one branch decide the story of the entire plant. She simply continued flowering. And honestly? That's one of the most reassuring things about growing. Sometimes you make a mistake. Sometimes the plant doesn't recover from that particular injury. But that doesn't mean the whole plant is affected. One branch didn't define Plant A. The rest of her is doing beautifully. 💙 Pickle Lemon Haze A – Still Standing Strong That's actually something I really like about this girl. She's resilient. She has been through topping. Training. SCROG. Defoliation. The flowering transition. A broken branch. And now another deep defoliation. And she's still there looking healthy and vigorous. If anything, the whole plant seems to have taken the attitude of: "Fine. That branch is gone. I'll grow the rest." 😂🌱 And that's exactly what she's doing. The canopy remains strong. The flowering sites continue developing. The remaining branches are healthy. And the loss of that one branch hasn't changed the overall performance we're seeing. So... lesson learned. We move on. 🌿 The Blue Tent Had To Grow Up There's something funny about this week. Last week, I was talking about managing the stretch. This week, the plants basically said: "You'd better manage it." 😂 So we did. The room has changed considerably. The carbon filter and extractor are now outside the tent. The LEDs have been raised. The canopy has been opened deeply. The second SCROG has been installed. The second fan is circulating air below the canopy. And suddenly... we have room again. The plants are still tall. They aren't magically becoming shorter. But they now have somewhere to continue growing and flowering without immediately running into the ceiling. That's a much better situation. 🌸 From Vegetative Structure To Flowering Structure And this is the really exciting part. All that vegetative growth wasn't wasted. The seven weeks of vegetation gave us: Strong branches. A large root system. A filled SCROG. A broad canopy. A lot of flowering sites. Now we're transitioning from building the plant to watching that structure turn into flowers. That's the part I really want to watch now. We've done the major structural work. We've made the room fit the plants. We've made the canopy more manageable. Now... let them flower. 💧 Nutrition – They're Hungry Girls The plants are also telling us something very clearly through their appetite. They're hungry. So the flowering recipe has moved slightly upward. 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 This has brought the EC up to approximately 2.49 mS/cm. It's still a measured change. We're not suddenly throwing everything at the plants. We're responding to what they're showing us. They're growing rapidly. They're flowering. They're drinking. And the foliage continues looking healthy. So we move forward carefully and watch the response. 🌡️ Blue Tent – Current Conditions The room remains stable despite all the physical changes we've made. Current recorded conditions are approximately: 🌸 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 And I think the consistency is important. We've changed the physical arrangement of the room quite significantly. But we're keeping the growing environment as stable as possible. The plants already have enough to adapt to. They don't need us changing everything at once. 🌬️ Airflow Is Now A Major Part Of The Equation With the plants this large and the flowering structure developing, airflow becomes increasingly important. The deep defoliation has opened the plants. The second fan gives us additional movement below the canopy. The upper fan continues moving air higher in the room. And moving the extraction equipment outside the tent gave us more usable space. Everything is now working together. That's what I want. Not one single "magic" piece of equipment. A room where the different systems complement each other. Light. Air. Irrigation. Nutrition. Structure. And observation. 🕸️ Supporting The Future Flowers The second SCROG is probably going to become more important with every passing week. Right now, it might look like another piece of equipment in the tent. Later... it could be the thing keeping those branches where we want them. The plants have already developed a substantial framework. Now the flowers are going to start adding weight. So I'm very happy we installed the second net now rather than waiting until the branches were already carrying heavy flowers. We're preparing the room for the next stage. And that's really what this week has been about. Preparation. 🔬 Same Room – Different Strain – Same Incredible Response There's something fascinating about Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A growing alongside the Blue Waffle F1 girls. They're different genetics. Different strains. Different individual diaries. And yet this week... they look remarkably similar. Same incredible stretch. Same environmental conditions. Same physical limitations. Same need to reorganize the room. Same deep defoliation. Same second SCROG. Same additional airflow. Same nutrition increase. And this is actually another beautiful part of the experiment. We're watching genetics express themselves under a shared environment. Sometimes the differences are obvious. Sometimes... the plants simply agree with each other. 😂💙 This week was one of those moments. 🌿 The Canopy After Everything Looking at the room now, I have to say... I love it. The plants are tall. Yes. They are probably taller than I originally wanted. 😂 But they're healthy. They're vigorous. They're flowering. And after the cleanup, the architecture is much easier to see. There is something very satisfying about looking at the room after a major intervention and realizing: Okay. This works. We made the space. We created the support. We improved the circulation. We raised the lights. And now the plants have somewhere to finish. That's a good feeling. 🔭 Looking Ahead – Now We Let Them Work This is where the next phase becomes much simpler. We've done enough. Now I want to watch. I want to see the stretch finally slow down. I want to watch the flowering sites develop. I want to see how the plants respond to the deep defoliation. I want to see how the remaining branches use the space. I want to see how the second SCROG supports them. And of course... I want to see what Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A ultimately becomes. The broken branch is gone. That's part of the story now. But the plant is absolutely fine. And that's the important part. She's still here. Still flowering. Still growing. Still shining. 💙 Final Thoughts – One Branch Less, Not One Bit Less Determined What a week. 😂💙 Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A has officially joined the "we need to rearrange the entire room because the plants got too tall" club. At approximately 145 cm, she's certainly not small. And once you add the pot, substrate and drainage system underneath her, we were getting dangerously close to our vertical limits. So we adapted. The carbon filter and extractor moved outside the tent. The LEDs went higher. The canopy received a deep cleanup. A second SCROG was installed. A second fan was added underneath the canopy. The airflow was improved. The room was reorganized. And those few LED-stressed areas were addressed before they could become something more serious. And then... there's that branch. Unfortunately, the broken branch from last week didn't make it. It happens. I'm disappointed, of course. But I'm not worried. Because look at her. She's still growing. Still flowering. Still healthy. Still vigorous. And the rest of the plant hasn't missed a beat. Sometimes growing teaches you humility. You can train carefully. You can plan. You can prepare. And occasionally... snap. 😂 You learn. You move forward. And you keep growing. That's exactly what Plant A has done. And honestly, that's what I love about documenting a real grow. Not everything is perfect. Not every branch survives. Not every plant stays the height you planned. Not every week goes exactly according to the original design. But that's the reality of cultivation. You observe. You adapt. You make the room work for the plants. And then you let them do what they know how to do. Grow. Flower. Finish. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is still doing all three beautifully. And now that we've finally given these girls a little more breathing room... I'm very curious to see what happens next. The room is ready. The lights are higher. The airflow is moving. The second SCROG is in place. The nutrition is supporting them. And the flowering journey is really getting started now. So let's forget about that one lost branch. It had its chapter. The rest of the plant has plenty more story left to tell. 💙🌸🌿 🙏 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. Thank you to Plagron for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these incredibly hungry and vigorous plants as they move deeper into flowering. A massive thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, the curved scissors and the clip fans that continue playing such important roles inside this project. Thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that continues keeping these plants consistently supplied despite how quickly they're growing. And thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers a place to document these journeys, share the successes, share the mistakes, and hopefully learn something from both. And finally... thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. This week was definitely one for the books. The plants stretched. We ran out of vertical space. We moved equipment. We raised the lights. We opened the canopy. We installed another SCROG. We added another fan. We lost one branch. And somehow... we ended the week looking at a room that I think looks absolutely beautiful. 😂💙 That's growing. You don't always get the week you planned. Sometimes you get the week the plants give you. And this week, these girls gave us plenty. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is still standing. Still healthy. Still flowering. Still vigorous. And now... she has a little more room to finish the journey. Let's see what this beautiful girl does with it. Until next week... One branch may be gone, but Plant A is still here, still shining, and still ready to finish strong. 💙🌸🌿 Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

Week 3 starts Poundcake #1 is on Day 15 as of 25/07 the rest are between day 11 and 14 Poundcake #1 suffering slight light burn from me putting the se3000 power up to 75%. Its back down to 65% now 😅 The two smaller pots on the right are in coco not living soil. Just keeping them indoors for now why not 👌 Added a organic seedless straw mulch for more microbe friendly activity and help prevent the fast drybacks I'm getting with the current heat 😰

420Fastbuds TrainWreck Auto Week 1 of Veg What up grow fam. These 2 have sprouted ok. Having a little trouble with both, one sprouted with no cotyledons the other only had one. Both had popped after 48hrs of being in the soil. Still misting the top soil with my sprayer to keep the soil moist but will start regular manual watering of 500ml every other day this week. All in all Happy Growing

Predators Unleashed & First Frost ❄️🕷️ This week brought a few challenges—but also some exciting signs of progress! First off: spider mites tried to crash the party, but I wasn’t having it. 😤 I’ve been manually removing them every day, and today—finally—no new sightings. On top of that, I released a fresh squad of predatory mites, who are now keeping things in balance. Nature's tiny enforcers are on the case. 🕵️‍♂️🔬 I noticed some slightly yellowing lower leaves, so I trimmed them off. It could be a touch of nitrogen deficiency, so I slightly increased the BioBizz Grow dose during this week’s feeding. I’ll keep a close eye on it over the coming days. 🌿 Otherwise, she’s looking strong, vibrant, and full of life. Beautiful structure, steady growth, and she’s just starting to shift into bloom mode. I gave her the usual round of care: 💧 Weekly care routine: 🔸 BioBizz Grow, Bloom, TopMax, CalMag & Alg-a-Mic 🔸 Compost tea (homebrewed magic, as always) 🔸 Effective Microorganisms for a living soil boost 🔸 And this morning—a full feeding session to keep things on track ✨ Exciting signs of change: The first trichomes are starting to sparkle under the sun, and when I sit next to her, there’s already a faint, sweet scent in the air. She’s officially getting into bloom mode! 😍 Now that she’s out of the tent, she’s following the natural 16/8 rhythm—and since she was hormonally triggered into flower before leaving the tent, she’s holding that bloom energy steady outside. 🌞🌒 The vibes are good, the buds are on the way, and I couldn’t be more excited to see where this beauty goes next. Let the Red Hot journey continue! 🔥💚

Week 9 of flower, the buds are still showing white hairs and 50/50 clear/cloudy trichomes. Buds getting too heavy to hold themselves up! Tried out using a single scrog, I would definitely use two nets going forward.

📅 Week 13 | Days 92–98 📅 🌼🌸🌺 Flowering Phase 🌼🌸🌺 Day 98 🌞 🔸 Poison Envy continues to develop beautifully. The buds have become noticeably denser compared to last week, with an impressive amount of resin forming. Trichomes are mostly milky now, with a few still clear - no amber ones yet. 🔸 The smell is evolving too: still that strong musty "forgotten laundry" funk, but now with a distinct sweet-spicy berry twist, almost like overripe blackberries. Very pungent! 🔸 Unfortunately, the humidity is still too high, but better than last week (currently 63%), which could become a problem. Today I finally turned on the dehumidifier and increased airflow using all clip fans at max setting. The dehumidifier now maintains a constant relative humidity of 50-60%, which I am very satisfied with. It does make it 2-3 degrees warmer in the tent, but I can live with that. 🔸Now give them 1-2 weeks of overdrive from AN and then only water. She drinks significantly less. 📈 Current Conditions 🌡️🔆 = 27°C 🌡️🌜 = 20°C 💨 VPD Target = 1.4 - 1.6 💨 Humidity = 63% → Target: below 60% 🔦 PPFD = 900 µmol (12/12) 🔦⌚ DLI = ~38 🛠️ Setup (unchanged) 💡 Lights: 2 x Sanlight Evo 4-120 @ 90% ⛺ Tent: 120 x 120 x 180 🍯 Pot Size: 18 liters 🌱 Medium: Bio-Bizz Light Mix 💊 Nutrients: Advanced Nutrients 💧 Water: Tap water (EC 0.5)

Alright! final thoughts I pulled 93.7gs I think I could have pulled more. Ill do a couple things different next time, better soil, maybe coco and better feeding schedule! I think I couldve fed her more with no problems! super strong strain! 100x100 recomended and ill definetly will get a higher tent and a better light for sure!0

The branches of the plant are getting stronger, so strong that i had to bend them again. I started to feed them with the easy bloom fertiliser by rqs, dissolved in 5 liters of water.

So we are still recovering from light stress. The stress is leaving as shown in the new growth on the top. Some might say this is nitrogen burn.but it cannot be as it's organic, micro dosed alaska fish emulsion. This is my first rodeo as I've been gardening for 20 years now. The only thing new to me is the LED lights. Hopefully those two phenos turn out to be male. Because I just don't see them being very vigorous for the duration of the grow.

They’re growing healthy, just a little slower than usual. This may be due to the light being a bit far away and AVT hogging the majority of it in the center. The good thing is that she’ll be done in about a week and a half or so I hope. Otherwise they look happy, Pink kush seems to be the one growing the most, we’ll see if the other ladies catch up.

Day late on the update, pics/vids were taken on time tho just been a crazy week of harvests and trimming and keeping up with these. I linked up with Rain Science Grow Bags on Instagram and got them to offer all my followers and friends a discount of 10% off entire order from their site with the code ' bangdang ' so if anyone is in the market for a pot upgrade use that code. I got them in the mail 3 days after I ordered. Reason I went with Rain Science is because they offer identical air flow for rapid growth as the radicle bags, just using a different material and a tighter knit so water doesnt flood out the sides during feeds and when you pick these up when the coco is dry, it wont fly all over the tent like with the radicles. They're the optimal bag for autoflowers especially. These are all doin aight, I think the ph might be a little off by the twisted growth maybe cuz of the soil it might be too low. The dry out mad quick.

After a slow start she’s taking off, noticeably growing every 12 hours
