The plant is doing fine, the light has been a bit to close to some buds so light bleaching appeared (Light is raised) Getting close to harvest and the plant smells really sour and citrussy, its amazing.

Hello Growmies Hope you are doing well and everything is growing in the garden. I needed a social media detox. Was only busy posting which my ladies suffered from. So I only concentrated on my lady. But now I miss you all and I'm looking forward to admiring your grows again 💚 the Icc is almost finished, I'm very happy and I'm looking forward to telling you how delicious it is. Thank you very much 😁✌️💚

There are simply beautiful plants. Starting to see signs of flowering now... especially with the Pineapple Meatball. I have noticed some yellowing of 5-10 lower leaves on the FM and CB, but none on the pineapple meatball. I top dressed everything a week ago and also did another top dressing of crab meal and neem seed meal (about 3/4 cup of each on each plant). Should be plenty of Nitrogen in there if the plants need a bit of a boost. I've also caught just a few adult aphids sniffing around the chem brulee plant. My brussels sprouts are nearby, and I'm battling aphids heavily with them. IPM Sprayed with Canncontrol (basically thyme oil) and top dressed with neem seed meal.

Shout outs to MiyaguiOkPolilla for the lateral training tip, as you guys can see, we have bent them and hopefully this will double our flower power, lets see what happens growers!

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

Week 9 flower day 60 begin to flush with only RO water with little bit of bio nova vitsol (molasses) and everyday i add fresh water till i reach 0 ec.. im not flushing with a lot of water i just cut the nutriants and let the plant to “eat itself “ from inside out, im checking tricoms everyday, there are mix cloudy and clear and some amber but most are clear.. ill give them few more days till i see more milky tricoms and some amber and they i harvest.

VERY BIG VARIATION BETWEEN BEANS. ONE IS SUPER AHEAD THE OTHER IS SUPER BEHIND. BUT ATLEAST ALL 5 SPROUTED. THATS NOT BAD. I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO LST. SO FAR JUST BEEN SPRAYING WATER DAILY AT SUNRISE. NOTHING ELSE. IM A SOIL GROWER. THESE ARE ALL REUSED SOIL. ADDED DRY AMENDMENTS AND HOME-MADE WORM CASTINGS AND EGG SHELLS. 3-4 GAL POTS. NOTHING HUGE. BUT I KNOW THEY NEED MORE SUN. THATS FOR SURE. THEY ARE NOT IN THE BEST LOCATIONS. BUT I HAVE LOTS OF FRUIT TREES IN BACK YARD. DIFFICULT TO FIND A GOOD FULL SUN SPOT.

Same nutes . Colors are in . The cereal killer is here !! 🔪 great grow and even better genetics ! Can’t wait to dry . Chopping after 24 hours darkness

Anche lei è l'ultima settimana di lavaggio radici.......oggi 29/09/2024 taglio questa Ayahuasca purple...ha un profumo fortissimo.... Oggi probabilmente inizierò a pulire tt le cime e poi.via un taglio netto 😂🤣😜👍💪

Tag 20: Alle 4 Pflanzen zeigen eine Vorblüte und sind dann schon in der Blüte. Tag 25: Aus Platzgründen musste ich 2 Pflanzen aussortieren. Habe mich für die beiden kräftigsten und gleichmäßigen entschieden.

Day 83 - end of week 4 flowering and everything thing going good , super easy to grow so far with no problems. They have started giving of a really sweet smell can’t wait to taste 👅

Na

Week 4 Jan - 10 January 6 January - feed day 10/1 - Last feed

This week we are ready to bring the Pineapple Express and blue dream inside for a dark period for chopping. The sour diesel and northern lights should be ready next week. Expert haze is pre flowering and the clone is showing small roots.

🥒 Project Blue Tent – Week 7 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno A (Folder 14A) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If you're discovering this diary for the first time, welcome aboard! Project Blue Tent follows four individual plants, each documented in its own dedicated diary from seed to harvest. All four plants share the same environment, lighting, irrigation system, nutrition and training strategy. By keeping as many variables identical as possible, we can observe something particularly interesting: How much personality can an individual phenotype still show when everything around it remains the same? Every plant has the same opportunity. Every plant receives the same care. Yet somehow... They still manage to tell their own story. Today we're checking in with Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A. And this week marks a pretty important moment in her story. The canopy is full. The structure is ready. And we're preparing for the final step before flowering. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Seven – From Building to Preparing For the last several weeks, the entire focus has been on building the canopy. We topped. We trained. We installed the SCROG. We guided branches through the screen. And slowly, square by square, the empty spaces disappeared. Now the Blue Tent has reached the point where the plants have essentially done their job. Looking from above, the canopy is remarkably even. All four sisters are sitting at approximately 60 cm, and because the SCROG net was lowered and tightened earlier in the grow, the majority of the new growth has been directed horizontally rather than vertically. That was the objective. Not taller plants. More usable canopy. And Plant A has done an exceptional job filling her allocated space. Her foliage is rich green, her branches are strong, and the amount of healthy growth packed into that screen is impressive. But there comes a point where adding more foliage isn't necessarily the goal anymore. Now we need to prepare what we've built. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ The SCROG – Mission Accomplished The SCROG has been one of the most important techniques we've used during this vegetative cycle. For anyone unfamiliar with it, SCROG means Screen of Green. Instead of allowing the plant to develop a few dominant vertical branches, we repeatedly guide the growing shoots underneath a horizontal screen. As each branch moves through the screen, we can distribute the future flowering sites across a much larger area. The result we're looking for is a relatively even canopy rather than several tall branches competing with one another. And this isn't something that happens in one afternoon. It's a process. A little tuck here. Another branch redirected there. A few minutes of observation every day. Eventually, the plant does most of the work itself. This week, looking across the Blue Tent, that process has reached its goal. The screen is effectively filled. And that means it's time for the next stage. ──────────────────────── ✂️ Defoliation – Cleaning the Canopy Before Flower This week's main event is defoliation. And because this technique is sometimes misunderstood, I want to explain exactly what we're doing and, perhaps more importantly, what we're not doing. Defoliation is not simply removing leaves because we don't like seeing them. Leaves are essential to the plant. They're responsible for capturing light and supporting photosynthesis, so removing them unnecessarily doesn't automatically make a plant healthier. The objective here is different. After weeks of vigorous vegetative growth and SCROG training, the interior of the canopy has become extremely dense. Leaves overlap. Branches cross through one another. Lower sections become increasingly shaded. Air movement through the middle of the plant becomes more difficult. And some foliage is simply contributing less to the productive upper canopy. So we're performing a deliberate cleanup. Removing selected leaves. Opening congested areas. Improving visibility. Creating more space between branches. And preparing the structure for the very different demands of flowering. The goal isn't: "Remove as many leaves as possible." The goal is: "Remove what isn't helping the structure we're trying to build." ──────────────────────── 🌬️ Why Defoliate Now? The timing is just as important as the technique. A significant defoliation is a form of stress. Even a perfectly healthy plant needs time to respond after losing a meaningful amount of foliage. That's why we're doing this while the plants are still in vegetative growth rather than waiting until we're well into flowering. Right now they're running 18/6. They're actively growing. They're not yet trying to produce flowers. So if the plants need a little time to rebuild their balance after the cleanup, we have that time. The sequence we're following is very intentional: Build the plant. Fill the screen. Clean the canopy. Allow recovery. Then flip. I would much rather have the plants enter flowering already recovered from this work than perform a major cleanup while they're simultaneously dealing with the transition into flower. Once the lights are flipped, the priorities change. The plant will begin redirecting its energy toward reproductive growth, and I want that transition to happen with a clean, well-organised canopy rather than asking her to recover from major training at the same time. ──────────────────────── 🧠 Defoliation Isn't a Magic Trick Another thing worth mentioning is that defoliation isn't some magical technique that automatically produces bigger flowers. It's a canopy-management tool. We're trying to improve the relationship between: 🌱 Growing sites 💡 Light distribution 🌬️ Air movement 🍃 Leaf density ? Plant structure The upper canopy is already receiving strong light. The problem we're addressing is congestion. When four vigorous plants share a 100 × 100 × 200 cm space, the interior can become incredibly dense. By selectively removing some unnecessary foliage, we're opening pathways through that structure. Better airflow. Better visibility. Less congestion. And a cleaner starting point for flowering. It's about managing the environment that exists inside the canopy, not simply making the plants look prettier. Although... I have to admit... They do look pretty spectacular after the cleanup. 😂💙 ──────────────────────── 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A And now, back to our girl. Plant A continues to be exactly the phenotype I thought she might become when she first started showing her personality. Vigorous. Responsive. Confident. She has consistently been one of the most energetic plants in the Blue Tent. Every time we've given her something to work with, she's responded with more growth. Topping? She recovered beautifully. SCROG? She filled it. Daily training? She simply kept producing new shoots. Her internodal spacing remains nicely compact, her stems have thickened substantially, and the foliage has developed that rich green colour we've been looking for. The most impressive part is probably how much growth she's managed to produce while still maintaining a very manageable structure. She's not simply growing wildly. She's growing usefully. And that's exactly what we want at this stage. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding – No Changes Yet The nutrition remains completely unchanged. And honestly... Why change something that is working? Current feeding: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L Current EC: 1.92 mS/cm pH: 5.8 The plants are showing excellent colour and vigorous growth, so I'm not interested in increasing the nutrient strength simply because we're approaching flowering. Instead, we'll watch their response to this week's defoliation. If they continue consuming aggressively and maintaining that healthy green colour, we may increase the nutrition next week as flowering begins. But for now... The plants are happy. And happy plants don't need unnecessary changes. ──────────────────────── 💧 The Drip Irrigation Continues to Impress The Mars Hydro automatic drip irrigation and drainage system has also become one of those pieces of equipment that quietly proves its value every day. Each plant is receiving approximately 1.2 litres of nutrient solution per 24 hours, delivered through the individual drip system. The solution passes through the coco and the resulting runoff is automatically collected and removed. That consistency is particularly useful in a project like this. We're trying to keep four plants under almost identical conditions. Manual watering can certainly work, but maintaining exactly the same routine every day becomes increasingly difficult as plants get larger and more demanding. The automated system removes much of that variation. The roots receive a consistent supply. The plants receive the same routine. And I get to spend less time carrying water... And more time observing the plants. That's a pretty good exchange in my book. 😄 ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment The environment has remained very stable as we approach the transition into flowering. This week's average conditions were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 28°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 65% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution: 18°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.92 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.2 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 8 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 60 cm At this point, maintaining consistency is more important than constantly chasing numbers. The plants are growing beautifully. The canopy is healthy. The irrigation is performing reliably. And the nutrition is producing exactly the response we're looking for. So for now... We observe. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Four Plants Starting to Look Like One One of my favourite things about this stage of Project Blue Tent is looking at the tent from above. It's becoming genuinely difficult to tell the four plants apart. The canopy is so even that the individual plants almost disappear into one continuous sea of green. And that's actually a fantastic result from the SCROG. We started with four individual plants. Different branches. Different growth patterns. Different personalities. Now we've shaped them into one remarkably uniform canopy. But underneath that uniformity, the individual characteristics are still there. And that's what makes documenting them separately so interesting. Plant A still has her particular way of growing. She's still one of the most vigorous. She's still incredibly responsive to training. And she's still quietly trying to occupy every available centimetre of space. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ Cleaning for the Next Chapter Once the defoliation is complete, the room should immediately feel different. More open. More breathable. Less congested. And that is exactly what we're looking for before the flip. We're not trying to make the plants small. We're not trying to weaken them. We're simply creating a cleaner structure from which the flowering cycle can begin. The canopy has been built. Now we're refining it. Then comes recovery. And after that... Flower. 🌸 ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead This is one of those weeks where the best thing we can do after the work is simply give the plants some peace. We've spent weeks manipulating their structure. Now they need time to respond. I'll be watching the new growth closely, keeping the environment stable and monitoring how quickly they recover. The nutrient recipe may increase next week depending on what the plants tell us. The irrigation will continue doing its job. And if everything looks as good as it does now... We'll be ready to flip the Blue Tent into flowering. The SCROG is full. The canopy is organised. The plants are healthy. The cleanup is done. Now we let them recover. Then... we turn the page. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for providing these fantastic Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the Premium Growbags and Hydro nutrient line that continue supporting this beautiful vegetative growth. A special thank you to Phytonaut for the LED lighting helping us maintain such a consistent and beautifully structured canopy throughout the tent. And a massive thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system, which continues making consistent irrigation so much easier. Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from all over the world can document their journeys, share knowledge and learn from one another. And finally... Thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. Whether you've been here since the beginning, just discovered this diary, leave comments every week or simply enjoy watching these plants develop... I genuinely appreciate you being here. 💙 Four sisters. One environment. One experiment. And four very different little personalities hiding underneath an increasingly uniform canopy. For Plant A, this week is about finishing what we started. The canopy is built. The cleanup is complete. Now she gets to recover. And very soon... 🌸 Flowering begins. Until next time... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

Bonjour à tous les padawans et les maîtres jedis La semaine 4 est déjà là! Décidément cette plante est vraiment exceptionnelle! Elle représente la force et j'en suis fier 😍 Je me donne pour defi que durant mon LST je fasse faire au tronc un tour sur lui meme. Ma plante est saine le LST ce passe relativement bien je l'ajuste tout les jour je le combine avec la technique du pincage d'Apex cela me permettra d'avoir une canopé plus homogène donc une meilleure pénétration lumineuse et par conséquent un meilleur rendement. Le pinçage est une pratique courante en horticulture. Beaucoup de cultivateurs l'utilisent pour améliorer le rendement de leurs plantations cannabiques ou autres. Il est souvent question de 'taille' des bourgeons apicaux. Cette taille se pratique également mais il n'est plus alors, à proprement parler, question de pinçage. A l'instar d'une taille, le pinçage va permettre de stimuler le développement des ramifications tout en préservant les sommités en vue de la floraison. Il est très utile pour uniformiser une canopée. Pour réaliser le pinçage, il vous suffit de presser 'fermement' la tige [entre le pouce et l'index] aux environs de l'apex jusqu'à sentir un léger 'crAck'. Cela aura pour résultat d'endommager les vaisseaux impliqués dans la circulation de la sève [situés dans le pourtour de la tige], la tige conserve toutefois une certaine rigidité. Pour obtenir le même résultat, il est également possible de vriller légèrement la tige sur elle-même. L'interruption du circuit d'alimentation entre le ou les apex et le reste du plant va provoquer un déséquilibre hormonal qui aura pour conséquence le développement des ramifications antérieures au point de pinçage. Jour 25 j'arrose mon pot normalement avec un quart de son volume en eau toujours avec un PH de 6.3 à cette eau j'ajoute 0.7 gramme de greenhouse feeding enhancer pour favoriser son développement racinaire. Par la suite je n'aurai plus qu'à ajuster mon LST jusqu'au stretch et surveiller mon arrosage, Je pincerai mes apex suivant la pousse de la plante pour uniformiser la canopé. Jour 26 à force de patience et de délicatesse j'ai réussi le défi que je me suis fixé en faisant faire au tronc un tour sur lui meme (photo jour 26) ce défi ma permis d'améliorer grandement la technique du LST. Au-delà de ça cela ma permis de donné au tronc une structure en forme de colonne vertébrale ce qui a pour conséquence une meilleure pénétration lumineuse et une belle canopé homogène. Que la force soit avec vous 💪

second week of flowering done. They were stretching like crazy. Installed a 3rd net to keep the stretch under control. Jumped from 35 cm to 83 cm in 2 weeks. They giving me some headache because of the hight. Should have send them 1 or 2 weeks earlier into flower. But it’s a lesson how to handle or not handle hybrids and sativas. Over all in was quite relaxing just adding water/ nutrients and doing some defoliation. So far so good. it’s quite easy to keep them on the same level with 3 nets. Still learning how to handle certain situations and conditions. But so far I am happy. They have got a massive need of Kalium at the moment. Should have given them more TA -Grow nutrients. But that’s party of learning. Really happy about the aeroponic setup. Really like the full control of the grow medium. (Compared to soil it’s easier for control freaks). Really water efficient compared to dwc/hydro/soil and changes made take effect pretty fast. Really nice oxygen supply at the roots and overall nice control possibilities regarding to roots and medium/solution. A possible downside could be that u can only use mineral nutrients and no organic nutrients. (We want some bacteria and fungus but not these ones that break down organic nutrients. That is more a preference thing than anything else. Good made hydro can compete with soil easily but most ppl put to much in there and ruin it any way. (Don’t want to trigger its good that everyone got its own style and evolves it in his needs and conditions.) The maintenance effort that is required for aero is a bit higher than soil and dwc but it pays off. (Personal opinion but numbers proof it) Looking forward to the next weeks and flower build up.
