Week# day14

🥒 14B – Pickled Lemon Haze F1 | Week 3 The Second Sister Takes the Crown Welcome back to the Project Blue Tent, my little experiment where every plant receives individual attention from seed to harvest. For anyone joining the journey for the first time, this project follows multiple Zamnesia Genetics grown side-by-side inside the same environment. Every phenotype gets its own diary so we can truly appreciate how genetics express themselves under identical conditions. This week certainly wasn’t boring. A malfunction in the irrigation system flooded the entire tent, leaving every growbag sitting in far more water than intended. Thankfully, the problem was caught quickly, the system was repaired, and every bag was allowed to drain naturally. Thanks to the incredible aeration of Plagron Cocos Premium, the roots never complained, oxygen remained available, and the plants simply carried on growing as if nothing had happened. If anything, this little accident became another reminder that good substrates forgive our mistakes. And this beautiful Pickled Lemon Haze F1 was no exception. ⸻ Week 3 Development She has been an absolute pleasure to watch. Although sharing the same genetics as her sister, she’s already showing her own personality. Her structure became incredibly symmetrical during the week, producing thick internodes, broad leaves and, most importantly, exceptionally vigorous lower branching. Sometimes a plant tells you exactly what she wants. This one practically asked to be topped. Instead of growing vertically with a single dominant apex, she was already investing heavily into her side branches, making this the perfect candidate to redirect her energy and begin building a much wider canopy. Looking underneath the plant was enough to make the decision. Healthy secondary shoots were already racing upward, ready to become future main colas. ⸻ Why I Chose to Top This Plant Many growers see topping as simply cutting the tip off. It is actually much more than that. The main growing tip naturally produces auxins that suppress the lower branches through what’s known as apical dominance. By removing that single growing tip, the plant redistributes hormones and allows the side branches to take over. Instead of one dominant leader… …we create several. Since this Pickled Lemon Haze already had such impressive lower development, topping should allow those branches to explode with growth over the coming weeks, producing a much flatter, more even canopy. For indoor cultivation, that means: • Better light distribution • More productive flowering sites • Stronger structural balance • Easier canopy management Of course, topping is a high-stress technique, so timing matters. I only perform it when the plant is completely healthy, actively growing, and has enough established nodes to recover immediately. Judging by her response only days later, she barely noticed the haircut. ⸻ A Tiny Surgery Using the Zamnesia trimming scissors, I carefully removed the apical shoot just above the selected node. One of my favorite macro photographs this week captures the fresh cut perfectly. Looking through the lens, it almost resembles a tiny green well filled with crystal-clear sap. It is fascinating how much beauty exists in details we rarely notice with the naked eye. Nature never disappoints. The removed growing tip itself was almost too pretty to throw away. Sometimes I think photographers become sentimental about the strangest things. ⸻ Recovery Recovery has been outstanding. Within a very short time the remaining growth tips had already begun pointing upward, clearly responding to the hormonal redistribution. There is no sign of stress, drooping or stalled development. The stem continues thickening nicely, while the side branches seem eager to compete for dominance. Exactly what I hoped to achieve. ⸻ Environment The entire tent continues sharing the exact same environmental conditions. 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C 💧 Relative humidity: 67% 🌱 Root zone: 24°C 💡 Light schedule: 18/6 ⚡ EC: 1.61 💧 pH: 5.8 ? Pot size: 8 L Plagron Premium Growbag 💨 CO₂: Ambient (~450 ppm) Everything remains stable, giving the plants every opportunity to recover from both the flooding incident and the topping session without unnecessary stress. ⸻ Feeding As the plants continue accelerating their vegetative growth, I increased nutrition slightly. Current feeding per litre: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.6 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.6 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L • pH adjusted to 5.8 The slight increase in EC is already being rewarded with faster growth and richer colour throughout the canopy. The new growth remains bright lime green—a perfectly normal characteristic of rapidly dividing young tissue—while the older leaves continue holding a healthy medium green without burnt tips or nutrient deficiencies. Everything points toward a happy, hungry plant. ⸻ Looking Ahead Now comes the fun part. Over the next several days I’ll simply let nature do its work. The goal is to allow the two new dominant tops to establish themselves while the lower branches continue stretching upward. Once the canopy begins filling evenly, gentle LST will likely follow to keep every future flowering site exposed to as much light as possible. She has all the ingredients to become a beautifully balanced bush. ⸻ Thank you so much for stopping by and following another chapter of Project Blue Tent. Every week these plants continue reminding me that growing isn’t just about producing flowers—it’s about observing, learning, adapting and appreciating how incredibly resilient these genetics can be. I truly appreciate everyone who takes a few minutes to read, comment, share advice or simply enjoy the journey with me. Happy growing, and I’ll see you all next week! 🌱💙 ⸻ PS A huge thank you to all the amazing companies making this project possible. 💙 Zamnesia for the outstanding genetics, the fantastic trimming scissors that made this topping effortless, and for believing in this adventure from day one. ? Plagron for providing the Premium Growbags, Cocos Premium substrate and the Hydro nutrient line that continues delivering healthy, vigorous growth week after week. Your support allows this project to become the detailed educational diary I always dreamed of creating. Growers Love and see you all in Week 4! 🌿💙

Well… Night Owl DDOS OG has been disappointing. I chopped the ugliest one outside and fed it to the soil. The DDOS inside has been chopped and put into my new VCure (first dry/cure w/VCure). The remaining DDOS outside will get chopped and washed this weekend. I’ll reserve final judgement until the dry/cure has finished and I’ve had a sample, but so far I’m not impressed. FWIW I have emailed with Daz about his plants growing poorly and with lots of 1 and 3 finger leaves. He initially responded saying this is normal in flower as the plant focuses energy on bud development. Users in the Night Owl Discord community say it’s the ruderalis traits showing up. Daz has stopped responding to my subsequent emails with additional information and pictures. I was really expecting better from Daz and Night Owl. Banana Basecamp and Chem Town are doing much better even though they are showing some signs of heat stress outdoors. Star Froots Auto from MVG is the star of the grow so far. Beautiful proud plant with great structure and chunky bud development!👍👍

It was a perfect grow. The plant is ready and its 2 days before harvest. She will be potent, i cant wait to smoke her. I am happy that i had no problem with her.

Day 53 and the second candy kush is done

Here we are at the halfway point, after the first month our photoperiod plants are multiplying their florets and then going into flowering. Jet Fuel has just undergone the topping of 8 florets, you can see the 4 fresh florets just cut. We are therefore at 8 very small branches growing, my plan for photoperiod plants is to get to 16, wait a few days and go into flowering. 16 florets as I see it is the perfect size for the 11 liter pot. Topping is an extremely delicate moment as regards cutting the florets to split them, we always take care not to damage the new growing florets. Topping is also a delicate moment as regards fertilization because the plant slows down and absolutely does not need all that nitrogen that it would normally need and that the producers recommend in their sheets. So you should arrive with the plant green and in perfect shape at this moment and dose the fertilizer very well for growth. Mine came from a slightly deficient veg because I kept it low fearing this over effect during the topping that I know well and now I'm a bit over. Nothing to worry about, of course, but if you do repeated topping my advice is to use preferred soil or prepare the soil with Monster Bud Mix by Zamnesia or Plagron Super Mix, in short, enrich the soil and start and only add nitrogen if necessary, especially during repeated topping. In any case, everything is under control and I will demonstrate it to you during the flowering phase. Wait for the Uncle BreadandBuds and see what it does to you. Remember the cold temperature makes the girls absorb food much more slowly than in summer so be careful to give the right amount and to dry the plant in maximum 2 days or you risk imbalances. We are always using soil, feeding and all the recommended additives from Plagron 100& organic we have only lowered the amount of grow in this topping phase for the reasons given above. ---- Decide on the right soil and calculate your fertilizer card based on the soil on the official website. -- www.plagron.com Try a seed of this strain that drives us crazy... ---- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11258-zamnesia-seeds-jet-fuel.html Zamnesia Description // Jet Fuel (also known as G6, Jet Fuel OG, and G6 Kush) is a modern hybrid rich in THC and terpenes with a diesel aroma. Originally created in Colorado by crossing Diesel with Aspen OG, this 60% sativa-dominant hybrid is a must-have for any smoker who enjoys an uplifting and energizing high. Now, thanks to the hard work of our breeders, the original Jet Fuel is even easier to grow at home. Order your seeds, plant them in soil, and enjoy their rapid growth. After just 9–10 weeks of flowering, you can expect a generous harvest of premium sativa buds!

Day 39: haha one girls is so fast already got flowers and I totally failed scrogging these girls! But I hope for nice bud anyways Mars hydro SP3000 High PPFD at 2.8 umol/j, average yield at 2.5g/w, increasing your yield 50% or more compared with old blurple and HPS lights, 300 watts output. Dimmer knob added, more convenient to adjust the brightness. Up to 30 lights can be daisy-chained and control together on just one light, or just have one lamp in 120x60 tent is perfect for light. https://www.instagram.com/marshydro_aliexpress2/

First plants are outside. 3 are growing in a large container. They have to share it with an old lady who is stil flowering after 90 days Two are growing guerilla style between the sunflowers. The rest will get their own pot.

It smells cherry 🍒🍒🍒 !!! Incredible !!!!

7 weeks into flower final flushes . Small foxtails forming

Week 8. P Biddy. She's got the least foliage out of the 4 but the buds have come along nicely. Few of the big fan leaves and upper / newer leaves are showing signs of (I think) N deficiency; yellowing quicker than expected and getting crispy / papery. Top fed with some all mix and a healthy dose of biogrow and hoping it's the right call.

Almost there!!

This week was great the smell is very pungent, I've been giving the CO2 lights are (I believe) adequate over 200 true watts on 2 plants started with purpinator as well as adjusting the ph and dropping the temperature. And the added spectrum. Try to get to the Anthocyanins and adjust my colors
