🥒 Project Blue Tent – Week 6 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno A (Folder 14A) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If this is your first time joining the adventure, welcome! Project Blue Tent follows four individual plants, each documented in its own dedicated diary from seed to harvest. Every plant shares the exact same environment, lighting, irrigation schedule, nutrition and care. By keeping every environmental variable as consistent as possible, we can truly appreciate how each phenotype expresses its own unique personality while also showcasing the remarkable stability of modern F1 genetics. Today we're checking in with Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Six – A Canopy Coming Together This week has been all about refinement. Rather than chasing vertical growth, the focus has shifted entirely toward building the widest and most even canopy possible. Every day brings a little more progress as branches continue filling the SCROG net, gradually transforming four individual plants into one uniform sea of green. One small change compared to last week's report is the official canopy height. Although Plant A measured around 66 cm previously, I lowered and tightened the SCROG net across the entire tent. As a result, all four plants are now sitting at approximately 60 cm, with every centimetre of new growth being directed horizontally through the screen instead of upwards. That's exactly the objective at this stage. We're no longer trying to grow taller plants. We're growing a larger canopy. Every branch guided sideways today will become another well-positioned flowering site tomorrow. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A Plant A continues to impress me every single day. She remains the most vigorous plant inside the Blue Tent, responding to every bit of training with explosive new growth. Even after being topped and now spending her days tucked beneath the SCROG net, she simply refuses to slow down. Every branch seems eager to reach for the next opening, making the daily training routine both enjoyable and incredibly rewarding. The internodal spacing remains nice and tight, the stems continue thickening, and her foliage has developed a rich, healthy green colour that tells me she's enjoying everything the environment is providing. One thing I particularly appreciate is how well she's balancing strength with flexibility. The branches are becoming sturdy enough to support future flowers while remaining pliable enough to guide gently beneath the screen without complaint. She's proving herself to be an absolute pleasure to train. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ Working with the SCROG As the canopy develops, the SCROG net is becoming more than just a training tool. It's now helping shape the entire structure of the grow. Every day I spend a few minutes gently guiding branches into empty spaces, allowing the plant to expand naturally instead of allowing individual tops to dominate the canopy. It's a surprisingly relaxing process. No aggressive bending. No rushing. Just small adjustments made consistently over time. Watching those empty squares slowly disappear is one of my favourite parts of vegetative growth, and this week the Blue Tent has really started looking like one unified canopy instead of four separate plants. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment Consistency continues to be one of the biggest advantages inside the Blue Tent. Average conditions throughout the week 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 These stable conditions continue allowing the plants to focus entirely on vigorous vegetative growth while recovering effortlessly from training. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding & Irrigation The feeding schedule remains unchanged this week. Sometimes, when everything is working exactly as planned, the best decision is simply to stay consistent. Each plant continues receiving approximately 1.2 litres of nutrient solution every day through the Mars Hydro automatic drip irrigation system. The slow and consistent delivery keeps the coco evenly moist while ensuring the roots always have access to fresh nutrients. Once the solution passes through the substrate, the automatic drainage system removes the runoff beneath the grow bags, preventing old nutrient solution from accumulating around the root zone and helping maintain a clean, stable growing environment. Current feeding schedule: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L The rich green colour across the canopy tells me the plants are extremely happy with this feeding regime, and for now I see no reason to make any adjustments. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A Every week this phenotype reinforces the same first impression she gave me shortly after germination. She's energetic. Confident. And incredibly responsive. She doesn't simply recover from training. She seems to thrive because of it. The combination of vigorous branching, compact internodal spacing and healthy foliage is creating exactly the kind of plant I hoped for when starting this project. It's becoming easier every week to imagine how productive she'll be once flowering begins. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead The objective for next week remains beautifully simple. Continue filling the SCROG. Maintain the stable environment. Keep guiding each branch into its own space. Patience is the key at this stage. Every small adjustment made now will help create a flatter canopy, better light distribution and, hopefully, an even more productive flowering cycle in the weeks ahead. The Blue Tent continues moving exactly in the direction I was hoping for, and I can't wait to watch these ladies take the next step together. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these incredible 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 delivering healthy, vigorous growth week after week. A special thank you to Phytonaut for the outstanding LED lighting, producing compact growth, beautiful structure and an incredibly 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 peace of mind to this entire project. Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing growers around the world with a place to document their journeys, exchange knowledge and inspire one another every single day. And finally... Thank you to every one of you following Project Blue Tent. Whether you've been here since the first seed cracked, recently joined the adventure, leave comments every week or quietly follow along in the background, your support genuinely means more than you know. The canopy is getting fuller, the plants are thriving, and the adventure is only becoming more exciting. Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and I'll see you all soon. 🌱💙

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Have fun with the update. Flowering day 26 since time change to 12/12. Hey everyone 😃. Another great week goes by. Last week, instead of 2 g of GHSC Powder Feeding, I only gave 1.5 g p l of substrate so that I can give you another 1 g per l of substrate next week so that it lasts until the end :-). It is developing very well and the buds are starting to grow :-). The week was poured 3 times with 1.1 l each time. once of them GHSC Enhancer was added :-). The bottom shoots have now also been removed :-). As always, the humidifier was refilled every day and the lady was checked for her health. I hope you enjoy the update. Stay healthy and let it grow 😊🍀.

Day 14 flowering: A great week for stretch among all the ladies this week. The Banana mash got a clean out and minor defoliate as they desperately needed it. They can now breath a bit better and airflow can get around the bases far better. The #1 isna nice size and looks very happy tonget in with growing unheeded. The #2, #3 and #4 are not so grown up and need Daddy to keep helping out !. #2 is not a happy girl from being overfed. She has a nitrogen claw around the bud sites and has now been given plain water to relieve the toxicity hopefully. The others have absorbed the feeds and not shown any signs but sjebseems to need less food. The #1 and #2 Purple Monkey are really focused on their bud growth now it seems while the # 3 is still stretching and sharing the energy around I have had to supercrop a few of her bigger mains to stop them touching the lights and her node distances are still widening with the stretch. 2 differently structured phenotypes are at play now and clearly different. I am very impressed with these genetics and wish I had a room full of them now..... The mimosa x exotic crosses are doing well too with the Mango X Mimosa gaining some speed now and definitely a lady. Exciting to see what she buds like now. The Exotic ? is starting to lengthen her branches finally. I have moved her to the end to encourage the gains upward. she isnt in female mode yet but is showing some signs of a reveal. The heat waves we keep getting are driving temps up to the 30° s. Thankfully running with the doors open helps as does having the exhale bag to offer more co2. I have a new viparspectra xs1500 to add to the room now too but it is a 150w and a really neat little unit so should be easily to add. plans afoot on this one.... Well that's it for this one Growmies . be safe and well until the next time.

Mendo Frost is stacking beautifully and continues to impress with her structure. The buds are developing nicely across all branches, while the trichome production is ramping up fast, giving the entire plant a heavy frosted look already. Pistils are still mostly white, suggesting there’s plenty of time left for swelling and maturation. Overall, she’s looking very healthy and seems set up for a strong finish.

Всем ку!! Сегодня нам 35 дней - прошла ровно неделя после последних фото. Продолжаю загибать, хочется подметить кустистость растения, также склоняюсь к тому, чтобы вечером перевести на цвет, подстричь ее (в пределах разумного) и подгибать только главные колы.

The humidity this week has been brutal. It appears I have a little bit of mold stating just on the fan leaves at the base of the plant. Waiting on a dehumidifier to arrive. Hopefully this doesn’t affect the plant too much. The plant on the right continues to stretch, but as you can see I’m running out of room. Not sure what I’ll do if it continues to stretch! Any suggestions welcome!

Día 75 y último de vida para esta hermosa nena. Me encuentro disfrutando de la manicura y hermosa cosecha que estoy obteniendo con esta planta, mi casa está impregnada por una fragancia dulce con toques tangie. Ahora cortaré por ramas y colgaré en la carpa de cultivo donde se secará por aproximadamente 10 días con humedad y temperatura controlada. Esperaré a curar y probar bien todos esos terps para poder dar un buen informe de cosecha pero hasta ahora todo se ve muy bien! Buenos Humos 👽

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 60 days and flowering stage was 70 days total (harvested tops at day 63th) the total weight of dry buds was : top buds 174 G + lower buds 55 G = 229 G my overview of strain with details: the seeds: unfortunately i only got 1 seed cracked out of 5 so i will not know how much this genetic can get different but at least i got the chance to grow once of this wonderful strain the plant : in every stage you can ensure that you are dealing with a high level plant , she will get big so you have to control her height LST and SCROG highly recommended , will grow very well with tick stalks and big fan leaves , has good resistance for stress and will respond very well to stress trainings , she really has gorilla power in herself , fresh buds on plant : buds are very compact and dense even from start , fresh blossoms smells like pineapple and mango , 2 different shades of sweet smells like you hold 2 junks of pineapple and mango in your hand and you smell them together, she is a trichome and resin factory , very very sticky , very oily , strong smell dried buds: very compact and dense , hard as rocks , has dark colors with purple hues inside it , it smells sweet smoke : very smooth and sweet like lollipop , pineapple , mango like , after 2 minutes it'll kick in and you'll get higher and higher with every breath , has a strange and especial high mind high mostly

3/8 (0745): CP weedlings look super happy. Can see the next node starting to develop between the fan leaves! HK and 710 germinating away. 3/8 (1600): Horticultural charcoal was delivered yesterday so I did a little top dress on the seedlings. Gave a light watering too. 3/9 (0730): Second node is coming in quick! Seeds still germinating but expecting to see green tonight or tomorrow AM. 3/9 (2230): CP growing strong, expect the second set of leaves by EOD tomorrow. HK and 710 broke soil over the course of the evening and will be upright by tomorrow morning! Learned from some key mistakes: didn’t water as much, planted the seed deeper so the shell would come off. Feeling good!! 3/10 (1200): HK and 710 seedlings are making their way up today! Had to help the 710 out of the inner seed coating, which was holding the cotyledons together. Both seedlings are open and getting sunlight, everyone's very happy. Both CPs are growing their second node quickly. 3/10 (2245): watered CPs. PH 6.4 going in and 7.1 coming out. Have been misting the HK/710 as needed. 3/12 (0900): watered/misted all. PH. 6.2 going in and 6.4 coming out. Much better. CPs are filling out their 3-bangers and have the start of growth for the fives. Ordered some smart plugs yesterday in the hopes of automating environment control a little.

Week 22 of our painful result on the mothers. Reveg. Is full on and the plants are all trying desperately to figure out how to flower again. A couple days ago I was resolved to the fact that this cycle of mothers was not going to be anywhere near our acceptable standards for a high quality bud harvest. We lamented and cried a little…. Then we got ridiculously high to numb the pain…. And then I had a brilliant thought! The whole purpose has been to pollinate clones this whole time. Now that our stable of clones are well into rooting and reveg. We can simply use the mothers for breeding instead and salvage a harvest of high quality buds with the clones! It’s not an ideal situation and will result in less smokable buds but that said (and as per the outdoor photos), quantity won’t be a problem this year as usual😉. I figure a week or two to see what happens with em and we’ll commence the sperm spray😎. We’ve also taken some additional steps and commenced with impregnating the Spliff strawberry on a couple of select branches. This plant is proving a beauty as expected - even despite a little fasciation she’s a monster🤩🤩. Method - we placed some pollen into a brown paper bag (both some SOG in one and some 707 in another. - we marked 2 branches with zip ties to keep track of which pollen is where. - we wrapped the branches in each bag and twisty tied it closed to the stem base for about 12 hours. - after remove the bags and to prevent further pollination on the rest of the plant we sprayed down the pollinated branches and then the entire plant with a light mist of water. When ur outdoors this isn’t perfect science and there will be some additional seed that pops out elsewhere. Regardless, it’s a guarantee the 707 is viable but I’m none too sure about the Skywalker stuff. It may have been subjected to moisture while in storage and could be inert at this point. No telln for a few weeks🤞. The dutchy system, despite significant time to set up has been better than expected - all the plants are happy, added a Skywalker clone to the mix for flowering as well. They seem to be taking to the Druid nutes just fine. Great system and she’s pretty much on cruise control right now👌. All told - the pollen chuck is not yet a complete failure. We’re definitely gonna have some cross beans - they only question that remains is how many different strains. Thanks again for hanging with the longest grow ever👍👊. Background/Repetitive Nonsense These plants will be the two mothers this growing season that will be utilized for stage 2 of the pollen chucking project. We’ll be taking clones and stressing the genetics for some fem. pollen using colloidal silver. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with landrace genetics, we’re effectively skipping initial hybrid crossing and stabilization, going straight to the polyhybrid mix. I call it the shotgun approach to selective, unvetted and amateur breeding on a micro scale😉. These 2 parent strains will form the basis for 8-10 different F1 polyhybrid combinations and a further S1 back cross of each of the mothers. Not only should we be able to preserve the genetics for both mothers in feminized form but we’ll also be running an entire family of new hybrids after seeding out clones from each on the initial lineup of this summers photoperiods. Method is pretty simple here; once we’ve got our pollen off the two mothers we’ll be clipp’n clones on 4 select strains that have proven results from various respected breeders. We’ll be using those for pollination purposes in what is expected to be a 10 plant recirculating Dutch bucket hydro system. ***Update*** The feminization process didn’t take at all with the strawberry or the Skywalker so it’ll be reg. Seed crosses with only Skywalker and some other 707 Headband that we have in the vault. ********* Strain details: Parent strains for self pollination - Skywalker Kush by Reserva Privada Classic kush effects and earthy aroma. The strong kush element of this cultivar will compliment any cross. - Spliffs Strawberry by Spliff Seeds Incredible mix of flavourful terpenes and hard hitting high THC. She’s got some Herer as well as some Diesel in ‘er so an obvious choice for any cross as well. ***UPDATE*** The strawberry had to come out of this breeding run to wait for a better mother that hasn’t been attacked by aphids. It’s been a tough battle this season and we’ve had to make a couple of heartbreaking sacrifices already. Parent Strains for cross pollination ***UPDATE*** We added another 2 strains to the mix just in case we need to spot swap for some more variety. - Ghost Train by AMS Seeds A cross of Alien OG x Ghost Train Haze. Never tried the strain but I’ve heard only good things. This one might be worth mixing with the Strawberry so we’ll see how it goes. ***UPDATE*** Sadly - the ghost train turned out to be an auto so cloning her out as part of the breeding project is a no-go. Really disappointed about this but at least we still have a ready backup strain on the lost coast og to take her place. - Boogie Nights by AMS Seeds A cross of Kalijah, aka afghani/skunk/diesel/blue heaven X Juanita, aka NYC Diesel/Reina Madre). No idea here so naturally I’m interested😉. ************** - Lost Coast OG by Emerald Triangle Pakistani Kush x Lemon Thai x Chemdawg #4. Essentially a classic, west coast combo of landrace kush genetics that Cali is famous for, mixed with hard hitting Chemdawg #4. ***UPDATE*** The Lost Coast is a winner of a plant. Still outdoors and in veg. Looks like it’s recovered from the aphid attack. Might consider trying to take another cut of this and just rooting it in a pot for pollination. At this point, what the hell and if we could salvage anything it would be a positive. ***** - Spliffs Blueberry by Spliff Seeds (Chocolate Thai x Afghani #1 x Highland Oaxaca) x Northern Lighhts Special. Only 1 bean of this left and the whole purpose is to blend the best of Spliffs Berry strains as a tribute. Awesome breeder and they’ve been very kind to us over the years. - Northern Light by Royal Queen Seeds NL means nuff said. A combo of 11 unknown strains believed to originate from the west coast of North America. This cultivar is a great take on these classic genetics and a perfect compliment to just about any cross. A biased fave of ours.👍 - White Widow by Seedsman Brazilian Sativa x South Indian Indica. This classic strain has been unluckily elusive for us the last couple years. We know the quality of seedsmans version of this cultivar having grown it in the past. Sadly, a very strong performer that never made it to harvest due to an uncontrollable aphid infestation. And we’re only at step 1.... still gonna need an assist with pheno hunting all of the crosses so if anyone’s interested in running the testers (when we finally get to that point) just let me know👍😎. Gonna be a Dope ass summer project and can’t wait to see it in full swing🤟. Thanks for stopp’n in y’all👊

Drying ended after 12 days. Trimming took around 1 1/2 hours and was really easy. No real small or larfy buds to speak of. I'm surprised how well it did considering how high the humidity was in flower it is a very resilient plant. Smoked pretty well off the bat, but needs just a little time to smoke the best. After curing for a month is super smooth and makes fore a very nice dubes. its almost gone! My friend loved it.

Welcome growers We are at the end of week n°3 in flowering for these two BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE 🍰 The flowers are developing quite well on both and I can already perceive the classic blueberry notes of these varieties.. Even the trichomes are already quite evident 💯 The color of the leaves (the remaining ones) tends to be classic green, without blue-violet hues I still giving their always organic/veganic nutrients.. And yes... As seen in the video, the most evident thing these days was a massive defoliation ✂️✂️🍃🍃🍃🍃 Honestly, I never use such an aggressive technique.. This time I decided to practice it on all the plants I have in the garden (10 visible in the diaries + 8 regular all female) out of pure curiosity to see how each of them will react It's a bit of a controversial method, but it's trying and seeing what happens Let's hope so 🍀 I immediately start a more massive fertilization.. Next week we will see how they will be 😉 About nutrients 👇 I still giving their always organic/veganic nutrients.. A little bit of silicium (Bionova) / Crescita (Biomagno) / Activera (Biobizz) / Grow vegan (Bionova) / The Missing Link (Bionova) / X-Cell (Bionova) / Bioheaven (Biobizz) , a little bit of P-K 3-5 (Bionova) /Fioritura (Biomagno) / Bloom vegan (Bionova) and now i have introduced Biomassa (Biomagno) and Florastimo (Biomagno) Basically these nutrients contain primarily NPK in organic / vegan form + kelp extracts, humic and fulvic acids, amino acids, aloe vera, potassium silicate, beneficial bacteria and fungi Like i usually do with liquids nutrients, a little bit of everything at any watering 💧 See you at the end of the first month in bloom 🌻🌻 Thanks for stopping by 😎👍👍 FC ✌️ 🇮🇹
