Welcome back in the 8th week of flowering with Dutch Passion’s Brooklyn Sunrise. The one in the front is ripening good, buds are rock solid and covered in trichomes, such a beauty. The smell is surprising, in the first weeks flowering she had more of a diesel kind of smell but it turned its self totally around, the smell reminds me of sour candy, an extremely sweet smell which I didn’t expect but its even better than I expected. Last Sunday I gave the one in the front her the last bits of nutrients, so this week is flushing till Sunday, Sunday will be harvest day!! I noticed that since last weeks some leaves and buds are turning purple, I didn’t even know these have purple in them as well of all the journals that I checked out to see what was up with this strain and what to expect, not a single one had purple in them so I guess I have had a different pheno. Such a beauty to see with all the colors. Cant wait to have a taste! After the one in the front is cut down ill let the other 2 stay in there with the other 2 Cookies for at least 1 week maybe 2 but im not sure. My next grow will take place first or second week of December, in the meantime I will chooce a new strain to grow and prepare the next grow. This time I will perfom my first real ScrOG and combine it with the airdome underneath my pot (they say you can improves your yield by 20-30%). So it got my attention and im very curious about the results. That’s it for now see you all back on Sunday harvest day!!

Now it’s our POST PANDEMIC VIRGO SEASON & as Spring and ‘Fiestas Patrias’ are coming here homies!!! Have Big Gas Puff on my Behalf! 👽 Declaring on September the First, Im Setting officialy the photopheriod as 20/04 hours resting too, they start in midnight as they will help to provide an ideal temperature at night, and thats the reason why stick with covering most of the day yet respecting some time off the grid, as for both mary jane plant processes like foliar feeding or the transplant depicted below and electronics used requires a bit of resting as lifespam testing and recomendations tend to stick on ‘calm your tits homie’ even on autoflowering scenarios, last consideration is the electricity bill as can become bothersome in some countries too. Moving on plant growth , I personally consider up to this date , a healthy growth even when i changed the substrate it has quite a possitive impact and that’s on having a number of survivors above the mínimum of plants i want to be spread each on 11 lt of ’ Organic Life Light Mix’ for the most oustanding Killer Kush FV, by using the growth vigor & not stressed AF criteria , as it’s always good to do backups in case i had a strong damping-off or like a bad germination scenario. Notice the quirk of ‘Pot on Pot’ made the transplant a bit easier, and how can make some small upgrades if added in your grow , if its on your market and fits your style as well. Regarding to feeding, new transplant soil was watered with Hesi boost, Top candy and BAC Calmag’s 2.0 (I chose this Brand specifically as it present other useful micronutrients on its composition ), as they first ones show to have quite a stimulant and refreshing effect on the babies, considering the size of more than decent root samples took before being moved on their final containers. This experience also introduced me the carencies i must attend usually on these type of soils, who also i do consider that being this deal of too light substrate, is a deal of a trade off too , like, im saying this this Organic Life Light Mix it’s not a bad product at all but consider is way more needy unlike traditional soils or even fuck, this shit is more airy than other light soils compositions hhahah, so, final words here, like at the same time the speed gained plus not a total damping off on germination phase & good interaction with fertilizers i use as plant interaction shows quite a good evolution, specially being keen on carencies and disbalances are faster to present and faster to attend , it requires more handling specially on feeding like all shit that is making this grow go at super fast speed , as i took some pics of root mass and it’s development shows it’s quite advanced yet on the optimal point to transplant. PS: I will stay with the non finalists , the more pansy Killer Kush aren’t totally discarded as the point of having backups to have a better coverage regarding to uncertainity of germination and the fact that still fuck up things and shit my pants in the near future, as usual, im a shitty grower if not noticed ! 😂😂😂. HAVE A BIG DICK ENERGY SEPTEMBER MFS !!! // i'm uploading the photos asap as possible :P

Edit soon

Pics taken on day 36. Some, if not most of these are lightly seeded, I've checked for herms but cant find no nuts. Sucks but from what I've read and people I've talked to seems like it wont be too big of a deal in the end, some old school growers even prefer lightly seeded nugget, I've never tried it intentionally. The green buzz nutes are working well. I'm almost out of the more PK so I had to add herculean harvest liquid bonemeal to get the ppm where i want it while trying to conserve the Gbl to last the rest of the run. Didnt have the lady to take my pics today so I was limited and had to take them lefty one handed and was shakey af. #1 is definitely lightly seeded I noticed after last weeks update. It looks pretty cool if the buds connect they will be like 2 feet bud sticks. Starting to give off a dank aroma as well. #2 is #2

Buenas tardes jardineros!!! Hoy actualizo las preciosas la rica, que como podeis observar están preciosas y verdonas. Sigo informándome todo lo que puedo sobre cultivos de interior para tener el máximo control posible sobre esta cosecha de florecientes. De momento ni rastro de plagas, he notado como unas crecen un poco más rápidas que otras, pero la diferencia es mínima y no estoy haciendo distinciones entre ambas. Espero que tengaís un gran día y que a pesar de estos tiempos de incertidumbre y encierro, al menos podemos disfrutar de un gran pasatiempo como es la jardinería. Nos vemos para la semana. MUY BUENOS HUMOS😍

The Plants are healthy

Getting frosty in eya Flawless finish few nore days

Greeting! She fine! Decide to do an early LST to start shorting the growing stages.

did some well needed defoliation looking a lot better. Buds are starting to get thick and heavy and covered in trichome. First bit of hairs are starting to turn orange.

Besides the nutrients above, they received UAN 32-0-0, liquid worm castings, Neptune’s 2-6-4, Neptune’s seaweed 0-0-1, TPS chelated calmag, and molasses. The roots seem to be bigger than the plant atm, from extra use of Mykos and azos... I would definitely expect exponential growth in the next 3 weeks. The plants are exactly where I wanted them size wise for day 21. At least 10-12 strong bud sites already each plant and they definitely smell danker than most plants I’ve grown before.

Hello Growmies, The final chapter of this incredible journey has unfolded, and it's time to share the bountiful harvest and reflections on the entire cultivation process. Trimming the plant was a joy, and with gentle fingers, I removed all the large fan leaves. The precision in this process revealed the true beauty of the buds, setting the stage for a smooth harvest. With care and gratitude, the plant was chopped, and the buds were hung to dry. The anticipation for what lies ahead only adds to the sense of accomplishment. The wet weight, excluding fan leaves, stands at an impressive 782 grams. The buds are massive, a testament to the efficacy of the nutrients used, particularly the Power Buds. The name seems apt, as the result is a collection of sticky, dense buds with subtle lemon notes and sweet pungent undertones. In the final moments, the plant unveiled some delightful purple hues. While I wish I could have allowed them to intensify further, it's a reminder that each grow is a learning experience. In hindsight, a slightly longer fading period would have accentuated those beautiful colors. We live and learn, and that's the essence of this journey. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron and Zamnesia for hosting this amazing contest. The quality of the products and the support throughout the journey have been invaluable. As this chapter concludes, I'm left with a sense of fulfillment and gratitude for the collective experience we've shared. The plant's growth, from seed to harvest, has been a testament to the art and science of cultivation. Feel free to check out my other adventures in my bigger environments, until then...happy growing! Stay Lifted Salokin

She’s made a beautiful recovery from the training we did last week as I expected:) I am starting to get nervous as I am max out for the height in my tent and we still have another 2 weeks of stretch:/ may have to dim my lights significantly this run. So we’ll see🤞 Been leaving her alone for the most part as usual for this stage for me. Haven’t even cleaned up the bottoms yet. Well leave the defoliation for next week✌️

C’est vraiment magnifique de la voir fleurir. Elle démontre constamment une belle vigueur. Ont voit déjà que les pépites seront compact. Avec les nutriments organiques qui favorisent la production de terpènes c’est à tomber par terre. Moins fidèle à la pure skunk elle dégage quand même une odeur très forte , Extrêmement sucré et doux !!

Started week 7 with another topping. She looks a bit of a mess ATM as I have had to bend some of her arms a full 90degrees and do some funky leaf tieing to keep everything in shape.. Nothing snapped and she seems okay. I will see how she recovers in the next day or two. Re introduced grow to her feed. I shall check back in after a few days of recovery and try to get a better pic then the blurple ones I managed earlier. Day 48 She is so strong. The topping did not bother her showing 3 cm of growth the night I topped her.. I have cleaned all old fan leaves and defoliated the mainlines. Just have 8 colas atm. I attached a ring from a plant holder to try and hold the shape. 7 of the 8 colas have grown exactly where I wanted but 1 has taken a funny turn and as a result it's grown a bit short of where I need it. I shall try to bring them all to a uniformed height then I think I'm going to let 2 more nodes grow out and if that looks like it's given me enough space I will do the final topping for 16 colas. If she looks like it will be to busy I shall stick to 8.. Thanks for looking stay safe and happy growing.😁👍🤘

Buds are already getting nice and dense. Thick coat of trichomes is already glistening. Flower production has been very on point! Very hardy colas flying off these girls. Very excited for this one. I reduced the nitrogen dose again. I also stopped giving them vigorous. Its a pure bloom mix now as these ladies are booming with flowers. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

อาทิตย์นี้ตัดยอดเอาไปชำ อาทิตย์หน้าเตรียมเปลี่ยนกระถาง รากทะลุกระถางสุดๆ ฟูๆเลยเจ้า Freakshow

New home bigger pots finish of this training and flip them

The plants are growing very well and the flowers and resin are now clearly visible. The Strawberry Gorilla is already slightly purple in color.

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 8 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 from seed to harvest, with each phenotype receiving her own dedicated diary. All four sisters share the same tent, lighting, irrigation, nutrition, environmental conditions and training strategy. The purpose is simple: Keep the variables as consistent as possible... and let the plants tell their own story. And this week, that story is getting very exciting. Because the Blue Tent has officially entered flowering. 🌸 Today we're checking in with Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A. And just like her sisters... She's growing fast. Very fast. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week Eight – And Suddenly Everything Accelerates There are moments in a grow where you can almost feel the plants changing from one day to the next. This is one of those moments. After seven weeks of vegetative growth, the Blue Tent has finally moved to 12/12. And the girls seem to have taken that as a personal invitation to accelerate. Plant A is now approximately 81 cm tall, compared with roughly 60 cm when we finished vegetation. That's around 20 cm of growth already, and the whole room is behaving similarly. But what's fascinating isn't simply the vertical growth. They're developing everywhere. New flowering sites are becoming increasingly obvious. Branches are extending. Nodes are developing. The plants are changing shape almost by the hour. They're not simply stretching... They're building. And Plant A is right there with them. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A Plant A has always been one of the girls that catches my attention. She's vigorous. She's responsive. She's incredibly determined. And now that flowering has started, that personality is becoming even more obvious. The canopy remains remarkably even despite the amount of growth happening above it. Her branches are strong, her foliage remains healthy and the developing flowering sites are appearing rapidly throughout the structure we spent weeks building. This is exactly why we documented these plants individually. From a distance, all four sisters can look remarkably similar. But when you spend time with each one... You start noticing the little differences. Plant A has that particular combination of speed, structure and enthusiasm that has been present since the beginning. And right now... She's absolutely flying. ──────────────────────── 💥 Super Cropping – Trying to Keep Up With Her With this amount of growth happening so quickly, we're continuing with super cropping as another way of managing the most vigorous vertical shoots. The objective isn't to stop the plants from growing. At this point, I'm not sure anything could stop them. 😂 It's about trying to influence the structure while they're stretching aggressively. Some of the taller branches are being carefully worked to reduce their dominance and hopefully encourage stronger branching points as the plant continues developing. And the funny part? These girls simply refuse to stay down. I'll work a branch... Give it some time... And she'll be standing back up again like nothing happened. Plant A is particularly impressive in that regard. She seems to have one answer to everything: Grow. 😂🌱 Whether this will ultimately be enough to keep the stretch under control remains to be seen. The temperatures, the seven-week vegetative period and the sheer vigour of these plants are all factors. But for now, the canopy remains beautifully manageable. So we continue observing and adapting. ──────────────────────── 😳 Well... I May Have Broken a Branch And then there's the part of growing that nobody wants to talk about... Sometimes you make a mistake. This week, while working with Plant A, I managed to break a branch. Yep. It happened. I'm not going to pretend it didn't. I'm also not going to turn it into some dramatic disaster. Plants are resilient. Training doesn't always go perfectly. Sometimes a branch moves differently than expected, sometimes there's a little too much pressure, and suddenly you're standing there looking at the plant thinking: "I'm so sorry, my dear." 😂🌱 I immediately tried to support and repair the damaged section, and now we'll simply give her some time and see how she responds. At the moment, there's nothing here that makes me alarmed. It's one branch. The rest of the plant is growing beautifully. And honestly... This is also part of documenting a real grow. Not every training session is perfect. Not every decision goes exactly according to plan. Sometimes you make a mistake. You learn from it. You carry on. And Plant A certainly isn't letting one damaged branch stop her. ──────────────────────── 🌱 A Fast-Developing Flowering Plant What really stands out this week is just how quickly these plants are evolving. The flowering sites aren't sitting there waiting patiently. They're developing rapidly. The structure we created during vegetation is now being populated with new growth, and the difference between the beginning of the week and the end is already noticeable. This is also why I'm glad we spent the time building the canopy properly. The SCROG gave us a much more even starting structure. The defoliation opened up the interior. And now the plants have room to develop into that structure. We're going to see exactly how much they use it. ──────────────────────── 💡 Starting Flower Under Strong Light The Blue Tent is now running 12/12, and we're starting flowering at approximately 800 PPFD. That's a deliberate decision. After seven weeks of vegetation, these plants have a substantial canopy and are showing very high levels of growth activity. Rather than gradually creeping toward flowering intensity, I'm giving them strong light from the beginning and watching their response. The goal is to provide enough usable light to support this rapidly developing canopy while continuing to monitor the environmental side of the equation. And because the girls are already stretching aggressively... The next couple of weeks should be very interesting. I'm curious to see whether the strong light helps keep the canopy relatively compact... Or whether these ladies simply decide: "Thank you for the extra photons. We'll use all of them to grow another 30 centimetres." 😂 We'll see. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment The environment remains remarkably consistent throughout the room. This week's recorded conditions were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 27°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 67% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 19.2°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.81 • ⚡ EC: 2.09 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 666 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.4 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 8 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 81 cm One thing I'm watching particularly closely is the temperature difference between day and night... Or rather, the lack of one. We're currently sitting around 27°C during both periods. Warmer nights can encourage additional stretch, and these plants certainly don't need much encouragement. 😂 So I'm keeping that in mind while watching how the canopy develops. For now, however, the plants are showing no signs that they're unhappy with the environment. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding – Now in Flowering Mode The nutrition has also moved into the flowering program. Current feeding: • Plagron Hydro A — 2 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 2 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L • pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L • pH Min — 0.03 ml/L Current EC: 2.09 mS/cm pH: 5.81 The change in nutrition is relatively measured. I'm not interested in throwing everything at the plants simply because the calendar says "flower." They're already consuming aggressively and developing incredibly quickly. So for now, the objective is to support that development while continuing to observe how Plant A responds. Her colour remains healthy. Growth remains vigorous. And the flowering sites are developing exactly as we'd hope. That's enough reason to stay consistent. ──────────────────────── 💧 The Drip & Drainage System – Working Together The automatic irrigation and drainage system has become a very important part of this project. Plant A is now receiving approximately 1.4 litres per 24 hours through the drip irrigation system. The process is beautifully straightforward. The drippers deliver the nutrient solution to the coco. The solution passes through the substrate and feeds the root zone. The runoff then enters the collection trays underneath the grow bags. From there, the drainage pipe carries the collected water toward the pump. The pump pulls that water away and returns it toward the reservoir. So the irrigation and drainage systems are working together as one continuous, recirculating setup. Water in. Coco. Roots. Runoff. Collection. Pump. Reservoir. And around we go again. It's almost like having a little circulatory system underneath the plants. And it's working wonderfully. As the plants become larger and their water demand increases, having that consistency becomes even more valuable. I don't have to manually reproduce the same watering and drainage routine every day. The system does it. The plants get their consistent irrigation. The runoff is handled. And I get to spend more time actually looking at the plants. That's exactly what I wanted. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Seven Weeks of Vegetation – Maybe We Overdid It? I'm going to admit something here. Looking at these girls now... I may have kept them in vegetation a little too long. 😂 Seven weeks isn't something I normally do. Usually, I'd be much more inclined to flip earlier. But the extra vegetative time gave us a fantastic canopy. Strong branches. Established roots. A full SCROG. A beautifully even structure. The downside? We now have four incredibly energetic plants with a huge amount of growth potential entering flowering at the same time. And they're showing us exactly what that means. Approximately 20+ cm of growth already. Flowering sites developing rapidly. Branches continuing to extend. Everything accelerating. So... Let's have faith. 😂💙 We've prepared them as well as we can. Now we get to see what happens. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Plant A – Ready for the Show Plant A's flowering transition has been particularly satisfying to watch. The framework we created during vegetation is clearly visible underneath the new growth. Her branches are well distributed. Her canopy remains relatively even. And the developing flowers are appearing throughout the structure rather than being concentrated into just a few dominant tops. That's the advantage of all those weeks of preparation. The plant isn't starting flower from scratch. She's entering it with a structure already designed to support what comes next. Now we just need to manage the incredible amount of growth she's producing. And hopefully... Keep her somewhat compact. No promises. 😂 ──────────────────────── 🧠 Managing Growth Without Fighting the Plant One of the lessons these girls are already teaching me is that there's a difference between managing growth and trying to completely control it. The plants have their own momentum. We can influence structure. We can redistribute growth. We can work with the branches. But ultimately... They're going to grow. And I think that's especially important to remember in a project like this. The goal isn't to force Plant A into exactly the shape I imagined. It's to create the best environment and structure possible, then observe how she expresses herself. Super cropping is one of the tools I'm using to help manage the most vigorous shoots. The strong lighting gives the canopy plenty of energy. The irrigation provides consistency. The nutrition supports the transition into flower. And the environment gives us the foundation. After that... Nature gets the final word. ──────────────────────── 💙 Plant A – Still One of the Stars There is something particularly satisfying about watching Plant A now. She's been through everything this project has thrown at her. Topping. Training. SCROG. Defoliation. The transition into flowering. And now a little accidental branch damage. And through all of it... She keeps growing. That says a lot about her. She's not delicate. She's not hesitant. She's vigorous and remarkably resilient. And although the four sisters continue to look impressively similar, Plant A still has that unmistakable personality we've been watching since the beginning. She wants to grow. So we'll let her grow... Just perhaps with a little guidance along the way. 😂🌱 ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead The next few weeks are going to be fascinating. The plants are already moving incredibly quickly, and we're only at the beginning of flowering. I'll continue watching the stretch closely. We'll keep using super cropping where necessary to manage particularly vigorous branches. We'll monitor the damaged branch and see how Plant A responds. The irrigation system will continue running its cycle. The flowering nutrition will continue supporting development. And the environment will remain under close observation, especially with those warm nights. For now, however... The canopy is still remarkably even. The flowering sites are developing rapidly. Plant A is healthy. And the whole room is absolutely full of energy. We may have vegged these girls a little longer than usual. We may have created more growth than we intended. But there's no point worrying about that now. The plants are ready. The lights are on 12/12. The flowers are coming. And we're going to enjoy the ride. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these beautiful Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics individually. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the Premium Growbags and Hydro nutrient line supporting these girls throughout the project and now helping them enter flowering. A special thank you Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting helping us build such a strong and even canopy and now providing the intensity we're using as flowering begins. And a massive thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system. The way the drippers, coco, collection trays, drainage lines, pump and reservoir work together has made keeping four rapidly growing plants consistently irrigated considerably easier. Thank you as well to GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document these journeys, share experiences and learn together. And finally... Thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. Plant A has officially entered her next chapter. She's stretched. She's developing flowers. She's surviving my attempts to keep her under control. And yes... I owe her an apology for that broken branch. 😂💙 But she's still standing. Still growing. Still beautiful. And still showing us exactly why following four individual phenotypes under the same conditions is so much fun. The Blue Tent is officially flowering. The stretch is here. The flowers are developing. And Plant A is ready to put on a show. 🌸💙 Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙
