Starting to Fill The 3 Litre Pot Out Now So Few More Days Be Ready For Her Final Pot, Maybe Thinking A 7 Or 10 Litre For Flowering.

Just been feeding her water once a week..she continues to swell I will give her some molasses one for the road and just water until week 8.

🥒 Project Blue Tent – Week 6 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno B (Folder 14B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If you're joining the adventure for the first time, welcome! Project Blue Tent follows four individual plants, each documented in its own dedicated diary from seed to harvest. Every plant grows under the exact same lighting, environment, irrigation schedule, nutrition and care. By keeping every variable consistent, we can truly appreciate how each phenotype develops its own unique character while also seeing the impressive uniformity that modern F1 genetics can offer. Today we're checking in with Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant B. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Six – A Sea of Green This week the Blue Tent has become exactly what I imagined when this project first began. Instead of four individual plants competing for attention, the canopy is slowly merging into one beautiful sea of green. One small adjustment changed the appearance of the entire tent. Although Plant B measured around 66 cm or so in last week's report, I decided to lower and tighten the SCROG net across the whole tent. That means all four ladies are now sitting at approximately 60 cm, allowing every centimetre of new growth to be directed horizontally through the screen instead of vertically. That's the real objective now. We're no longer chasing height. We're building surface area. Every branch tucked beneath the screen today becomes another future flowering site tomorrow, and every empty square that disappears brings us one step closer to a perfectly even canopy. Plant B continues embracing this process beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant B This phenotype continues showing the same personality she's displayed since the beginning. She's wonderfully balanced. While her sister naturally wants to stretch, Plant B seems perfectly happy expanding outward, producing a dense framework filled with healthy side branches. The recovery after topping now feels like a distant memory. Every new shoot is developing with confidence, and the canopy is becoming fuller with each passing day. The stems continue thickening, the internodal spacing remains compact, and perhaps my favourite observation of all... The foliage. The leaves have developed that rich, healthy green colour every grower loves to see. It's the kind of colour that quietly tells you the plant is comfortable. Comfortable roots. Comfortable environment. Comfortable nutrition. Sometimes healthy plants don't need dramatic stories. They simply grow. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ The Beauty of SCROG Every day begins almost the same way. Open the tent. Look across the canopy. Find a few branches reaching above the screen. Guide them gently into the next empty square. Done. It's one of those techniques that rewards patience far more than force. There are no dramatic bends or stressful training sessions. Just small daily adjustments that slowly transform individual plants into one unified canopy. Looking across the Blue Tent now, it's becoming harder to tell where one plant finishes and another begins. That's exactly what a healthy SCROG should look like. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment The environment continues providing exactly what these ladies need. Average conditions remained: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 30°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 58% • 🥥 Root Zone Temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 18°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.92 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: Approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • 💧 Irrigation: 1.2 litres per plant per day Despite the warm weather outside, stable conditions inside the tent continue allowing the plants to recover effortlessly from training while maintaining vigorous vegetative growth. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding & Irrigation One thing I've learned over the years is that consistency often produces better results than constant adjustments. Since increasing the feeding slightly a couple of weeks ago, the plants have responded exactly as I hoped. The richer green colour has returned, growth remains vigorous, and there are no signs suggesting the recipe needs changing. Current feeding schedule: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L Each plant continues receiving approximately 1.2 litres of nutrient solution every day through the Mars Hydro automatic drip irrigation system. The automatic drainage system removes the runoff beneath the grow bags, preventing nutrient buildup around the roots while keeping the growing area remarkably clean. It's one of those systems that quietly does its job every day while making the entire grow more consistent. ──────────────────────── 📸 Looking Closer – Discovering a Different World One of the greatest joys of documenting these diaries has nothing to do with nutrients or training. It's photography. More specifically... Macro photography. Most people look at a cannabis plant and see leaves. A macro lens tells a completely different story. Suddenly the stems become covered in thousands of tiny protective hairs. The beautiful purple pigmentation running through the branches begins revealing itself in incredible detail. Young leaves show delicate textures that are almost impossible to appreciate with the naked eye. Even the smallest leaf veins become intricate natural patterns. The more time I spend behind the camera, the more I realise how much beauty exists in places we normally overlook. Macro photography has changed the way I walk through the grow room. It slows me down. Instead of simply checking on the plants, I find myself truly observing them. Every stem. Every new leaf. Every tiny detail nature has quietly been creating all along. Growing teaches patience. Macro photography teaches appreciation. Together they've made me enjoy this hobby even more than I already did. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Looking Ahead The mission for next week remains simple. Continue filling the SCROG. Maintain the stable environment. Trust the process. The canopy is becoming flatter every day, and with each branch finding its own place beneath the screen, the excitement for flowering continues to grow. There is still plenty of work ahead. But there is absolutely no rush. Healthy plants reward patience. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these outstanding Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for providing the Premium Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line that continues producing vigorous growth and beautifully healthy plants week after week. A special thank you to Phytonaut for the outstanding LED lighting, delivering compact growth, incredible structure and a wonderfully even canopy throughout the Blue Tent. A sincere thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that has brought consistency, cleanliness and simplicity to every day inside the grow room. Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing growers around the world with a place to document their journeys, share knowledge and continue inspiring one another. And finally... Thank you to every one of you following Project Blue Tent. Whether you've been here since germination, recently discovered these diaries, leave comments every week or quietly follow along from the background, your support truly means the world to me. Every week these plants teach me something new. I hope, through these diaries, they're teaching a little something to all of us. Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and I'll see you all soon. 🌱💙

She has made day 28😍. It was a busy week for her. Defoliation lst and hst was done to her as you can see in the pictures. I also gave her 2 good waterings this week.

All IS good 😉😜❤️💞

Blue Gelato has the smallest head of the strains in the tent but they seem very dank so I dont think we will be dissappointed with this one.

Final dry weight report (details later): Final chop was on day 88. First harvest was 184g of top-shelf from 5 colas. Then another 5 colas brought it up to 300g of top-shelf on sticks — all from the tent. On the second-to-last harvest I took the rest, which added up to another ~300g including leaves. Flushed with Terra Aquatica FlashClean (before that I was running Overdrive + honey with the base bloom nutrients). In total: 3 days on water + FlashClean, followed by a step-by-step harvest and another 6 days just on water.

Día 26. Estamos en la 4ta semana. Por ahora mantengo la solución y la planta sigue creciendo pero ya está casi para cortar los esquejes. La semana que viene seguro estoy cortando, y ya tengo que preaparar todo para pasar al otro modulo del infoor. Decidi dejar de aplicar HST y apliqué una recnica con colgantes que bajan las ramas y las mantienen perpendiculares al piso. De esta forma las ramas laterales empiezan a subir. Está técnica me ha dado muy buenos resultados anteriormente. El crecimiento ha sido acelerado y las ramas estan bastante gruesas. Mañana voy a cambiar la solución. Vengo realmente contento con los resultados. Este experimento me va a permitir saber cuanto puedo llegar a sacar de este espacio y ver si me permite armar un ciclo para poder llegar a la próxima cosecha con remanente para poder ir guardando variedades diferentes. De paso ya tengo una referencia de cuantas semanas toma hasta poder cortar esquejes, y así saber en que momento poner la próxima semilla. Puse unas semillas bastardas que tenía, y las pienso mandar a la terraza a florecer directamente en el invierno. Otra experiencia que si bien no ha dado grandes resultados, ha sumado al stock. La semana pasada no llegué a subir mucho. Pero mañana hago un update de cómo se han movido las ramas bajas. En el último video se muestran bien las ramas que pretendo convertir en esquejes. Seguro saque varios, así que habrá para regalar si logramos que enraizen varios. De por cierto las manchas blancad que se ven, es tierra de distomeas que ha quedado desde la aplicación en 2da semana. Día 28. Termina la 4ta semana de crecimiento con un muy buen ritmo. Hoy cambié la solución y mantuve la formulación anterior (1g/L de feeding grow y 0,5g/L de green jungle bioestimulante de crecimiento). La planta está fuerte y ramificada. Sostengo que los esquejes se van a cortar un poco antes de lo previsto. Calculando que son 5 semanas de crecimiento y 1 semana de enraizamiento de esquejes, voy a tomar 6 semanas para preparar la próxima madre. Así que siendo esta variedad de unas 10/11 semanas de flora, voy a poner a crecer la nueva madre en la 4ta semana de floración. La planta tiene distancia internodal corta/media por lo que observo, así que es un detalle a tener en cuenta. Ya me empieza a dar la ansiedad de ver que todo va saliendo y quiero ya poder pasar a floración. Va a ser jna nueva experiencia hacer una planta desde semilla en hidroponía, ya que siempre hacía sólo esquejes y la madre la pasaba a tierra a florar en otro lado, debido a que por las raíces no podía sacarla del sistema que tengo ahora. Pero resolví eso y voy a ver por primera vez la potencia de la hidroponia en una planta desde semilla. Le hice corte apical a las dos ramas más largas esperando ver una mayor ramificación, ya que tengo un espacio de 1,2m x 0,55m por llenar y administrar. Espero que todo siga en marcha. Nos vemos en la 5ta semana desde mañana.

Recovery week. Last week everything went to hell this week everything is looking up. Squanch Queen is turning into my favorite one of the bunch. She is super resilient and bounced back quickly, the Skywalker and Quarter Pounder are both going to finish early due to all the stresses and stunting early on in the grow. Squanch Queen looks to be going 9 to 10 weeks inspite of all the issues. Definitely a good strain from Night Owl to pick up if your a beginner, much more forgiving. I definitely want to try the Skywalker again with a better setup. Ph runoff is looking much much better.

This was my very first international trip outside of North America. This was in March 2023. I’m off to Tenerife. Here are just a bunch of photos from that trip. I had a great time.

10/19: This morning when I opened up the closet I wanted to rearrange a little, but they were so packed in, it was almost impossible. So, I went up in the attic and ran some cables and hooked up my other 200w light in the top section. I moved the 4 smallest plants up there and it created a little bit of desperately needed space in the lower section...but I still doubt very seriously that I'll be able to grow all 15 to completion in there..it's only 14.5 square feet of space!😳 10/20: I foliar fed everybody with some SP-90 humic/fulvic acid and kelp me kelp you today. They will probably get fed again tomorrow. Drying out quickly- 10/21: I applied Axiom again today..I sprayed a whole liter of the finest mist I could produce..tops and bottoms of all leaves to the point of runoff. I fixed up a 5 gallon batch of nutes and fed everybody about a 1/4 gallon each. Later the same day.... Several of them look very overwatered..and it's mainly the plants in the back in fabric pots that have seen a grow or two. I think my pots are mainly just too close together for airflow to dry the bottoms out well enough. I put another big fan in the closet and turned off the evap cooler for the night. 10/22: Most of them look better this morning, but a few are still droopy, so I used a stainless steel skewer to poke a thousand little holes in the lower part of all the fabric pots in the garden to try and improve oxygen availability to the roots. I also carefully arranged the garden so that there are gaps between all the pots. I think I'll also space my waterings a little further apart. The topsoil is drying out well enough, but I don't want their roots sitting in muck. 10/23: Several of them are flowering now, and starting to stretch a little bit. I raised the lights about 2 inches today and dialed the ac infinity's high temp trigger up to 88f for a bit to get them to dry out a little faster, so the RH climbed a little higher as well...so I also set the ac infinity's high humidity trigger threshold to 65%. After observing signs of nitrogen toxicity on several of them, I realized that I made another rookie mistake...(where is my head??) The new 5 gallon bucket I'm using to mix a batch of nutes must be about 2 inches shorter than the one I had been using, and I never bothered to calibrate it....which I did today. So, for the past couple of feedings, I've been mixing in enough nutes for 5 gallons, but in only 4 gallons of water!!! I foliar fed them with BoomBoom Spray and gave them about 8oz each of boomerang and cal-mag early in the morning, and by 5pm they all looked happier. I'll give them a little drink of plain water tomorrow, then start them on flowering nutes the next day. 10/24: Several are starting to stretch now...and all but one are flowering. This morning I fed them another little dose of boomerang and cal-mag, and also added some bembe and open sesame to the mix. This afternoon, I foliar fed everybody very thoroughly with some humic/fulvic acid, seaweed extract, yucca extract, and big bloom (for the earthworm castings and minor and trace elements) I repotted the dwarf in a smaller container and gave it to my son. He's a bonsai enthusiast, so it's right up his alley...that's one less plant to deal with! 10/25: This evening I mixed up 5 gallons of pretty much everything except grow big. and gave everybody about 1/4 gallon each. I plan to flush them with sledgehammer on Sunday or Monday and only do foliar feedings like BoomBoom spray and fulvic acid until I resume normal bloom feeding mid-week. Because I've had such a good veg, I'm pretty sure the maximum number of plants I'll be able to fit into the lower section is 13...and maybe only 12. So, that will be my 4 or 5 shortest plants in the area above..in which case, I'll need more light... I think the new UVB light will have to wait until my next grow because I've got so spend a couple hundred bucks on seeds to be able to start another batch right before my current run finishes.😖😞😩😡

The Gorilla Melon is absolutely crushing it and keeping a very stable profile. She keeps growing beautifully and is noticeably getting bigger every day. I'm already thinking ahead about cutting her back later so she won't outgrow the greenhouse during the stretch, but for now, I am just enjoying her impressive growth as she is. Since I will be out of the office for the next 10 days, I decided to pull forward her nutrient boost by a week to make sure she is fully sustained while I'm gone. She received a solid dose of 5ml Orgatrex today. As a preventive measure, I deployed a fresh round of live lacewing larvae (Florfliegenlarven) on paper towels today since I spotted a few new bites. However, the plant is completely stable and I don't expect any issues. She is strong enough to handle everything. Before leaving, I will fill the AutoPot reservoir up to the very top to ensure she has plenty of water to drink on demand. Hoping for the best while I am away!

Crushed it this run!🤯🙏

Perfect strain. 5 gelato's grew in 3gal pot. The ones that been lst took a week to 3 week more than the ones that grew naturally. #4 did lst given 47dry g. #2 grew naturally and give 40 dry g. Overall 204 dry g out of 5 gelato's.

🌱 Dognabis Cup 2025 – Jalousy Diesel Auto · Octo Genetica After preparation comes life. 💚 Before the seeds sowed, I carefully prepared my 100% coco substrate with the Aptus Super Soil Organic program – the foundation for an active, vibrant medium that provides everything a young plant needs right from the start. Since coco naturally contains no nutrients, I deliberately chose a slightly stronger mix to create a stable and biologically active base:

Week 2 going good suns finally came out! Grown in a small put I wasnt expecting much but its grew pretty well so far and Also got a few side projects growing strawberry's!

The Gelato has responded well to the topping, the new brunches are growing and the main leaves have opened to collect maximum light, it looks a bit like purple lemonade as a vegetative growth.

This week has been a little better. Recovering from the ph and phosphorus deficiency issues. New growth has been a little better. Finally got rid of the crispy leaves from the deficiencies. I knew I was getting into a tough one with 200 ml of dirt. I just wanted to see what happened. I have learned a lot on this one. Buds are getting a little bigger each day. Merry Christmas and frosty buds to all.
