EXPERIMENT: Still waiting on the teapot to boil the water properly, but the photos and video of the "still" attached to this diary shows proof of concept. The sludge coming out is from the copper tubing manufacturing process, it'll eventually stop. I need to get the real setup built and run a couple gallons through the tube. Plant B is coming along nicely! I have a feeling it's going to finish around week 6 rather than the full 8 week period advertised. So I've started the flushing process. I can always add nutrients if necessary. Flushed twice this week with 2.5 gal of pH-adjusted distilled water. Plant A doesn't seem to like the bud blaster. I think it'll finish around the 8 weeks advertised. I flushed all week same as plant B, though I will probably add more nutrients to A next week. It just seemed to be getting some nutrient burn so I wanted to back off.

Hello friends! day 60! following your advice I applied the cropping in order to bring the tops back into the light and I wanted to try adding ADV nutes to integrate a little! apart from this extreme elongation everything seems to be going the right way! thank you very much for stopping by, leave a like and some advice! happy day and great growth 🌱💚

Week 15 / 6th week in bloom :) One more week done, and even closer to harvest! Both my girls are looking great and starting to smell quite strong, I just love it!

This is the whole flowering cyclus posted in one week.

2 weeks left!!! Flushed with water a few days ago..can’t wait to see that leaf fade! #1 trichomes are popping off..lots of milky and amber..my frostiest plant to date! #2 trichomes increasing but not nearly close to #1

Day 64, 12.06.2024 Today marks the start of week 10. I just saw that some of the leafs of Erika I are clawing upwards. I double checked the light distance to the canope which seems to be fine at around 30cm. I watered yesterday. As over watering might be the culprit as well I will watch closely wether it gets better during the next 24h. However, as we are approaching the finishing line I will not put too much effort in this issue. Day 65, 13.06.2024 Another round of drinks is about to be served. As Erika I is tacoing (edges of the leafs are facing towards the light) I went into analysis: It could be a) lights: after checking the distance again I an rule that out. Also the other plant does not show any clawing symptoms. b) underwatering: I gave 500ml extra water yesterday in the morning in hopes of recovery by afternoon. But no sign of relaxation so I ruled out that as well. c) overwatering: hard to believe as I only water 15% of the pot volume every other day and there is no drain d) over fertilization: Thats a point - I gave both plants the exact same amount of nutrition during grow. I think this plant might have had enough for a while. Because of d) I decided to not give Erika I any fertilizers today (she also did not show signs of low nutrition in the past). However, I will water both and keep an eye on them. No reason for panic though I guess. Also: Being on the final lap towards harvest I recognized quite a lot of the pistils are getting orange. I would say currently over all buds around 50-60% of the pistils are orange. I will wait until ~90% of them are orange and then take a look at the trichomes, where I aim for 80/20 ratio (cloudy to amber). Day 66, 14.06.2024 No action today. Day 67, 15.06.2024 Today I will water and feed again - providing 4/4/4 Grow/Bloom/TopMax + 1,2ml CalMag to Erika II. For Erika I I am still waiting for the leafs to un-taco - but until now there is no sign of it. This is the last official week with nutrients anyway so maybe Erika I already had her last meal, but without realizing 😂 Tacoing did not went away. Didn't really change at all actually. So they both get water & nutes. Next time I might skip nutes on Erika I. Amount of water: ~600ml each Day 68, 16.06.2024 No action on the plants today. Revised my timing and plans: - BioBizz nutrient schedule is made for roughly 10 weeks of flowering with flushing instructions on the second to last week and harvest on the last week - assuming the Erikas started flowering in their 3rd week that leaves me with facing the 8th flowering week up (which is also the last week they should get nutrition) right ahead - Decision: will give them 3 times nutrients over the next 1 week. Then I will stop giving them nutrients and start flushing every other day (water then until water comes out below the pots). - I assume/hope I will flush for at least one week until it is time for harvest This period of the grow is unexpectedly exciting! I do not have any experience from other grows but until now I think it went quite good. There were no pests, no big time nutrient deficiencies, etc. and the buds look big and firm (at least from what I can tell anyway). Day 69, 17.06.2024 - A round of drinks to the ladies: The usual 4/4/4 Grow/Bloom/TopMax in 600ml of water each. Will NOT skip nutes on Erika I. - Humidity is starting to pose a problem again: During night time the humidity does not go below 68% for 6 hours. I surely hope this is not a problem - but I do not have any other choice: there is high humidity currently outside (lots of rain & warm weather). I will hope for the best I guess. - removed 3 more leafs Day 70, 18.06.2024 No action today but to experience high humidity (~69%) without being able to do something about that 😢 This concludes week 10. The breeder states this strain is ready for harvest after 11 weeks. Well.. I guess I am about to find out.

Ho effettuato il tiraggio alle più alte, defogliazione per tutte. Adesso devo diventare delle belle signore!!

Hemos empezado un cultivo con semillas del banco Sweet Seeds y toda la gama de nutrientes y coco premium de Plagron. Es nuestra primera vez con coco y esta marca de nutrientes pero nos va a sorprender para bien! Primero diluimos siete gotas de seedbooster plus en un litro de agua y dejamos la semilla en esa dilución 12 horas. Esa misma agua la usaremos para empapar el papel donde pondremos a germinar las semillas. Al segundo día ya tenemos las semillas nacidas, y los líquidos de riego los haremos a un ph de 5,8 y usaremos power roots, silice rock y pure zym para cada riego con una EC de 0,5. Una vez a la semana haremos una pulverización de vita start y otro día a la semana vita race. Hacemos una dilución de estos mismos de 1 ml por cada litro de agua para pulverizar dejando bien empapadas las hojas. Vita start nos aporta un npk bajo para nuestras pequeñas y vita race le aporta hierro, de manera que con ellas conseguimos un mejor enraizamiento, ramificación y un color sano de nuestras pequeñas en sus hojas. Tendremos que ir subiendo el nivel de la Ec, ya que pecaremos de cautos en comida al no haber usado nunca coco antes.😎

The two apple strudel are The oldest of the bunch, They are coming up strong like a dream! I have one sweet skunk auto by RQS I planted a few days after the Apple strudel came up Also just had planted some Durban poison auto by premium cultivars And 2 mix auto seeds by fastbuds, one I planted a couple days ago and just sprouted this morning and another one I just planted in soil this morning,

Took cuttings off the haze plants and bent them up as you can see lol

End of week 4 , huge difference each week. Buds started fast, strong purple genetics showing instantly. Can't wait to see what happens. So far everyone is healthy and happy

Hopefully she doesn’t stretch too far, I’m in a 2x2x4

Week 3 of flower, Buds are building nicely

Chem Brulee – Pheno A | Week 2 Some plants demand attention through explosive growth. Others earn it through elegance. Chem Brulee Pheno A is beginning to look like one of those plants. While several of her tent mates are building wider structures, this phenotype is expressing herself differently. The slightly longer internodal spacing creates a more open architecture, giving the plant a refined and balanced appearance without sacrificing vigor. Every node is clearly defined, every branch has room to breathe, and the overall structure already hints at a phenotype that may favor vertical development as flowering progresses. What stands out most this week is the confidence of her growth. The main stem is thickening nicely, secondary shoots are emerging strongly from each node, and the newest growth displays that bright healthy green color that growers love to see during early vegetative development. From above, the canopy remains symmetrical and organized. From the side, the increased spacing between nodes reveals the plant’s structure beautifully, making it easy to follow her development stage by stage. Rather than stacking tightly, she appears to be building a framework designed for future expansion. The stem itself deserves mention. It has developed excellent thickness relative to the plant’s size and shows no signs of weakness despite the more open growth pattern. This combination of strong stem development and longer internodes often creates plants that are easy to manage and train later in the cycle. The lower branches are already reaching outward with purpose, and new growth sites are becoming increasingly visible. Every node is beginning to establish its own potential future flowering site, laying the foundation for what should become a productive structure once the flowering stretch begins. Environmentally, conditions remain unchanged from the rest of the Project Blue garden: * 12/12 from seed * RH: 60–65% * Day temperature: ~26°C * Night temperature: ~18°C * Root zone temperature: ~21°C * Watering pH: 6.0 * EC: 1.0 * Nutrients: * Plagron Terra Grow * Power Roots * Pure Zym * Sugar Royal * Foliar: Vita Race * PPFD approximately 600–700 One detail I particularly appreciate about this phenotype is how clearly she displays her structure. The spacing between nodes allows every growth point to be seen and documented, making her a fantastic candidate for following developmental changes throughout the coming weeks. These are often the plants that reveal their personality early and continue to surprise as flowering progresses. For now, Chem Brulee Pheno A appears healthy, vigorous, and completely on schedule. She may not be the most compact plant in the room, but she is demonstrating exactly the kind of balanced growth that suggests strong genetic expression and excellent adaptation to her environment. As always, Mr. Baggy remains on quality-control duty, carefully monitoring progress from somewhere nearby and ensuring every leaf receives the appropriate level of professional inspection. Week 2 closes with a healthy root zone, strong stem development, expanding side branches, and a beautifully organized structure that is becoming more interesting with each passing day. The journey continues. 🌱💚 Thank you to everyone following along with our Project, and to the friends, growers, sponsors, and community members who continue to support these diaries week after week. Your encouragement helps transform simple plant documentation into a shared learning experience for growers around the world. Growers Love and on to Week 3. 🚀🌿

Harvest time for Divine storm. Not much to say about this strain, except this is my last time growing it. July 11 update, 84 grams dry weight. Same taste and smell as before, a wine taste with a bit of fruit.
