🌱 Week 3 | Purple Haze Photo | Folder 6A | Building the Foundation Every phenotype tells its own story, and this Purple Haze is beginning to reveal exactly the kind of structure I was hoping to see. Looking back at the photographs from the beginning of the week and comparing them to where she stands today, the progress has been remarkable. The increase in leaf size, stem thickness, and lateral branch development shows that the plant has settled comfortably into her environment and is now entering a period of rapid vegetative growth. This diary is part of my Project Blue series, where every plant receives its own individual journal. Although they all share the same environment, nutrition, and cultivation method, documenting each phenotype separately allows me to observe the subtle differences that make every plant unique. Two seeds from the same pack can behave very differently, and that’s exactly what makes growing from seed so fascinating. Like every plant in this project, Purple Haze is being grown using the 12/12 From Seed method. Instead of giving the traditional vegetative light schedule, the plants receive a flowering photoperiod from the moment they emerge. This technique keeps the plants compact while still allowing them enough time to develop a strong structure before flowering naturally takes over. It’s an approach I enjoy because it produces efficient, manageable plants while still allowing each phenotype to express its personality. Throughout the week the environment remained extremely stable, providing the consistency young plants need to thrive. Environmental Conditions • Day temperature: 27°C • 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 • Light Schedule: 12/12 • Average PPFD: 600–700 Maintaining these parameters allows the plants to dedicate their energy to healthy growth rather than constantly adapting to environmental fluctuations. Feeding Schedule This week the nutrition remained focused on root establishment and balanced vegetative growth using the Plagron Terra line: • Terra Grow — 1.8 ml/L • Power Roots — 1 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L The goal isn’t to push maximum growth as quickly as possible but to encourage strong, healthy development while building a vigorous root system capable of supporting heavy flowering later in the cycle. A Beautiful Structural Evolution The difference between the first photographs of the week and the last ones is immediately noticeable. The stem has thickened considerably, becoming sturdy enough to support future flower production without any assistance. Internodal spacing remains tight, creating a compact plant with multiple future flowering sites already beginning to establish themselves. The leaves are broad, flat and richly coloured, showing no signs of nutrient deficiencies or environmental stress. New growth emerges with a healthy lighter green before maturing into the darker foliage characteristic of vigorous vegetative development. Perhaps the most exciting change is the development of the secondary branches. Each node is now pushing strong lateral shoots, giving the plant a naturally symmetrical structure that should translate into an even canopy during flowering. Why I’m Using Leaf Tucking Instead of Defoliation One of the techniques I’ve been using throughout the week is leaf tucking. Rather than removing healthy fan leaves, I simply tuck them underneath neighboring branches to expose the developing shoots hidden beneath the canopy. This offers several advantages: * More light reaches the lower branches. * Airflow improves naturally. * The plant keeps all of its solar panels, allowing maximum photosynthesis. * No recovery time is required because nothing is removed. Young plants need every healthy leaf they can keep. Fan leaves are the engines that drive growth, so whenever possible I prefer repositioning them instead of cutting them away. Defoliation can always come later if it becomes necessary, but at this stage gentle canopy management is more than enough. Looking Ahead Purple Haze is quickly becoming one of the strongest structured plants in the room. She has responded beautifully to the stable environment, balanced nutrition and simple canopy management. Every day she’s producing more side branches, larger leaves and a noticeably thicker main stem. If she continues at this pace over the coming weeks, she should enter flowering with an excellent framework capable of producing an even canopy and plenty of well-positioned bud sites. Sometimes the best training isn’t about bending, topping or cutting—it’s simply about giving the plant everything it needs and then getting out of its way. A huge thank you to Plagron, Zamnesia, GrowDiaries, and everyone following this Project Blue adventure. Mr. Baggy made his usual inspection this week and left with a big smile. According to him, Purple Haze has officially entered her “future forest” phase, and judging by the way she’s growing, it’s hard to disagree. Growers Love 🌱🛍️

Привет, друзья, привет, садоводы! Сегодня 3 июля 2026 года, и это день сбора урожая! 🌱✂️ Как проходил этот процесс выращивания? Это был непростой путь, но мы справились. Самым сложным было не выращивание самого растения, а всё, что происходило вокруг нас. Те, кто следил за этим дневником с самого начала, точно поймут, о чём я говорю. А если вы только что нашли этот дневник, вы можете проследить весь процесс выращивания от начала до конца и понять историю, стоящую за ним. Я хотел бы от всей души поблагодарить **Fast Buds** за семена, за вашу поддержку и за такую ​​потрясающую генетику. Несколько слов о **Banana Purple Punch Auto RF3**: Семена проросли всего за 24 часа. С самого начала она хорошо росла. Мы допустили несколько ошибок, но генетика оказалась невероятно сильной и без проблем справилась со всеми стрессами. Она также очень хорошо отреагировала на LST (низкострессовую тренировку). Аромат невероятно интенсивный — очень сильный и насыщенный. Шишки полностью покрыты трихомами. Мы попробовали небольшой образец около трех недель назад, и я могу честно сказать, что он был превосходным: сильный, мощный и восхитительный. Теперь мы с нетерпением ждем, как разовьются аромат, вкус и эффект после надлежащей сушки и ферментации. В заключение хочу поблагодарить всех, кто следил за моими дневниками выращивания на протяжении многих лет. Спасибо каждому гроверу — как новичкам, так и профессионалам — всем селекционерам и всем, кто поддерживает и помогает этому замечательному сообществу расти. Увидимся на следующем цикле выращивания! Как только оно полностью высохнет и будет подстрижено, я сообщу вам окончательный вес. После того, как у нас будет возможность попробовать его еще раз после надлежащей сушки и ферментации, я также поделюсь своими мыслями о вкусе, силе воздействия и общем эффекте.

start of flowering for 3 plants

This week I have seen a lot of explosive growth in terms of height and shape! I was reluctant to beg from 6 weeks as I thought there wasn’t enough growth but they started to absolutely guzzle feed and respond well to everything I had done. Really happy with how they’re growing for now apart from the few issues I have had to say this is the first photoperiod strain I have grown and trained in really impressed. Humidity issues are still present but I’ve managed to maintain about 40% which is acceptable with temperatures bang on! I can see bud sites appearing everywhere and the defoliation technique really seemed to have worked. I will defoliate again before I flip to flower... Excited to keep growing!!

Day 67: Increase in flower size phrase has been finished now they about to go into the mature phrase. I will eighter flower them for 1 or 2 weeks depending on how it goes. Might only give them water with enzymen,regulator and humic for now on, that Is basicly flushing ( ec 0.7 ). or Ill just slightly feed them( ec 1.4-1.6) for a few times before I start flushing them( ec 0.7). Again I took the pictures before doing work on them ( watering and defoliation), so they look a little sad. I did notice that many of them got burned tips, indicating that they get more nutrients then needed. It does make sence since In this week and weeks to come, they need less nutrients and having a harder time taking it. Yet they do drink everything in 1.5-2 days, so they still do like to get nutes. Thats all for this week.

🌱 Sticky Broccoli – Grow Diary 🌱 Week 9 | Late Vegetative Stage | Coco + Perlite This week included topping, lollipopping, and continued LST ✂️🌿 Final structural work is coming together as the plant nears flower transition. Topping has created multiple strong main colas 🚀 Lower growth was lollipopped to focus energy on the upper canopy. LST continues to spread the plant evenly under the future canopy 🌐 Light penetration has improved significantly. Canopy is now wide, flat, and well-organized. Airflow through the plant has increased 🌬️ Foliage remains healthy green with no deficiencies 💪 Plant is handling training with minimal stress. Roots fully established and supporting vigorous growth ? Watering steady with slight runoff 💧 📈 Focus next week: finalize canopy, install/adjust SCROG, and prepare for flip to flower 🌸🔥

i flipped them to flower. Noticed a bit of stretch which will probably continue for another two weeks. SD2 still looks light but i flipped them all anyway. Will see what happens

I’ve began flushing to prep for harvest just about 1 more week and I should be ready

All smiles probably the best plant by fast buds I've ran , smells dank going be a nice haul easily over 4 zips best nutrients and lights:) should be done within a month :) drinking water everyday at this point:)

MAY 26TH 2024 - The gen 1 & gen 2 mom's have recently been cut back & lights have been dialed down to 35% to slow the growth down on the mom's until they are needed for cloning in a couple months. We have gotten it down to a science now with how to manicure them & cut them back then have them re-grow out again. I am VERY proud of myself as this is my first attempt at growing out mothers myself. I have always vegged out seeds & flowered from seeds with my own previous smaller ACMPR grows, Then managing other peoples grows they usually bought clones in I never had the opportunity to learn this aspect of cultivation, Until now & I feel we are doing very good ! These things are monsters and are super healthy and strong. With that said I would love any input or advice for growing out mother plants that we could use to improve even further ! I am always open to learning more. @seedsman The RUDE BOI OG seed has to be at least 5-6 years of age & it germinated no problem, I burned it with the bar LED's too close to them when they first germinated and it looked touch and go for awhile but I did not give up on her now she is going to be one of THE best moms, Wait and see ! Also, BE WARNED if you use these fabric pots that are supposed to air prune the roots for you & allow you to keep the plants in them indefinitely. The ORIGINAL set of them worked great on our first batch of mom's, BUT we almost lost the generation 2 mothers because of them failing and the roots grew right out the bottoms of the bags into the run off's from the feeds and almost messed up the generation 2 mother plant's luckily we spotted it, Transplanted them out into different fabric bags & resolved the issue. These ladies are almost 6 months old & going strong ! DO YOU want to grow mother plants LIKE THESE ? Then grab some LIGHTS, TENTS, SEEDS & NUTRIENTS FROM OUR SPONSORS !!

Moving along nicely. Plants are looking nice and healthy. No issues just trying to get a few more weeks in before harvest time. Weather will be in the 80s-90s this week

I ent had the time to get in there proply to defoliate it abit more, think I thought they would have stretched abit more two, learning curve again gonna use tomoto cages instead of a net next time hard yo get into we’re you need to.

Sorry for not updating been in the hospital so call me coach

This one is a slow starter. Of 6 strains she was the last one to pop and emerge but she looks healthy and ready to grow. I soaked her for about 48 hours until she popped then place her into a rockwool cube that had been soaked overnight in pH 6 RO water. She emerged 4 days after soaking. She is starting under a 23w 6500k cfl. Will give a pinch of nutrients on day 3. She will be transferred to a dutch bucket soon. Day 3 after a 24 hour test run of the new system the girls were transferred to the dutch buckets. Will be pumping nutrients 24/7.

2/20: Both pots are light and are looking droopy. Time for first day of feeding nutrients. I used 1tbsp unsulphured molasses mixed into a half strength mix of General Organics GO Box nutrients, following the first week of flower instructions. 2/21: Both plants are looking great this morning. Amnesia seemed to have grown more overnight! I'll need to watch the timelapse to see what happened. My lights are at about 80% at 12 inches above the plants. I'm going to increase it to 12 inches above the tallest cola. 2/22: May turn both lights to 100% soon, as the timelapse of the night didn't show much growth or movement. Otherwise looking good. 2/24: Woke up to Amnesia's lower leaves turning yellow, brown, and crunchy. Google research thinks its a PK deficiency, the last two letters if the N-P-K nutrient list. Discord users also believed it was a PK deficiency on their own accord. I may be able to remedy this by upping my main Biothrive Bloom to full strength to increase those nutrient numbers, and feeding her now. She's growing fast, I could see why she'd be hungry again after 4 days. Her pot wasn't quite all the way light before bed though. After today's feeding I'll go down to 3/4 strength on the Bloom for the next feeding. EDIT: After lifting Amnesias pot, she definitely is ready for feeding/watering. Probably starved a bit overnight in the hot tent. Later at night, Trainwreck began to droop, so I mixed up a half strength of nutrients and fed her a gallon over a half hour.

Pests seem to be under control with use of trifecta and insecticidal soap. Applied 1 cup of Jobes organic fertilizer to 5 gallon pots and 2 cups of Jobes organic fertilizer to the plant in 15 gallon container. All plants receive at least 1 gallon of water every other day and 15 gallon plant receives around 2-3 gallons of water every other day depending on rain and soil touch/feel. Decided to grow a bagseed I found of gelato x GMO. While in seedling stage a chipmunk or squirrel tried to bury its stash in the soil and bent the stem over 90 degrees. I taped it up with some medical tape and it bounced right back, which is the picture I have now.

Die Pflanze befindet sich jetzt ist der 9 Woche! Bis jetzt läuft alles wunderbar @Fast_Buds

The Buds on the Big one are growing and she seems to enjoy her Company. The small ones start to stretch, besides that it has been a pretty boring week for me and my Tiny Clone Army of Happiness. 😊 12-02-25: The big one needs more water than the small ones. Who would have thought 🤔 Off to the shaming wheel with me. *Shame* *Shame* *Shame*
