🇩🇪 Woche 4 🌱 | Cherry Limeade 🍒🍋 Die Cherry Limeade macht endlich Fortschritte! 🙌 Mit mittlerweile etwa 8 cm Höhe nimmt das Wachstum langsam Fahrt auf. Trotzdem ist sie für ihr Alter noch deutlich zu klein. Rückblickend vermute ich, dass die direkte Keimung im sehr nährstoffreichen Living Soil für einen Sämling einfach nicht optimal war. Wahrscheinlich musste das kleine Wurzelsystem zunächst viel Energie investieren, um sich in dem aktiven Boden zu etablieren, bevor oberirdisch wirklich Wachstum sichtbar wurde. 🌱 Genau dafür habe ich mir bereits die Bottomless Pots von Almicanna besorgt. Beim nächsten Durchgang werde ich die Pflanzen zunächst in BioBizz Light Mix innerhalb dieser Töpfe anziehen. Die Töpfe stehen direkt auf dem Living Soil Beet, sodass die Wurzeln später selbstständig nach unten in den lebenden Boden wachsen können. Ich bin gespannt, ob sich dadurch der schwierige Start vermeiden lässt. 🔬 Mit der Blumat-Bewässerung kämpfe ich aktuell noch etwas. Durch das ständig wachsende und wieder zurückgeschnittene Cover Crop verändert sich der Wasserverbrauch permanent, wodurch es gar nicht so einfach ist, den Sweet Spot von 100 mbar konstant zu halten. Im Moment schwankt die Bodenfeuchtigkeit noch recht stark, aber das gehört wohl dazu, wenn man ein neues Living-Soil-System kennenlernt. Ich bin sicher, dass ich mich mit der Zeit noch besser auf das Setup eingrooven werde. 💧🌾 Insgesamt bin ich trotz des holprigen Starts optimistisch. Die Pflanze sieht inzwischen deutlich vitaler aus und wächst endlich kontinuierlich. Jetzt heißt es: Geduld haben und das Living Soil seine Arbeit machen lassen. 🌿💚 📊 Aktuelle Parameter: 💡 Licht: 200 PPFD (18/6, Stufe 2, 40 cm Abstand) 🌡️ Temperatur: 27 °C 💧 Luftfeuchtigkeit: 82 % 📈 VPD: 0,69 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Ø 750 ppm 💧 Bodenfeuchtigkeit: 50–150 mbar ⸻ 🇬🇧 Week 4 🌱 | Cherry Limeade 🍒🍋 Cherry Limeade is finally starting to pick up some speed! 🙌 She has now reached about 8 cm in height, and growth is becoming noticeably more vigorous. However, she’s still much smaller than expected for her age. Looking back, I believe directly germinating the seed in a nutrient-rich Living Soil wasn’t the best choice. The young root system probably had to spend a lot of energy establishing itself in such an active soil before visible top growth could really take off. 🌱 To solve this, I’ve already bought the Bottomless Pots from Almicanna for my next run. My plan is to start the seedlings in BioBizz Light Mix inside these pots, which will sit directly on top of the Living Soil bed. Once the roots are strong enough, they’ll naturally grow through the open bottom into the living soil below. I’m really looking forward to comparing the results. 🔬 I’m still dialing in my Blumat irrigation system. The constantly growing and regularly trimmed cover crop changes the water consumption all the time, making it surprisingly difficult to keep the ideal 100 mbar soil tension consistently. Right now the soil moisture fluctuates between 50 and 150 mbar, but that’s part of learning how this new Living Soil system behaves. I’m confident I’ll get the hang of it over time. 💧🌾 Despite the slow start, I’m feeling much more optimistic now. The plant looks healthier every day and has finally started growing consistently. From here on, it’s all about patience and letting the Living Soil ecosystem do its job. 🌿💚 📊 Current Parameters: 💡 Light: 200 PPFD (18/6, Level 2, 40 cm distance) 🌡️ Temperature: 27 °C 💧 Humidity: 82% 📈 VPD: 0.69 kPa 🌿 CO₂: Ø 750 ppm 💧 Soil moisture: 50–150 mbar

🌸 Pink Rosay Auto by Zamnesia | Pheno B | Week 7 (Flowering) 🌱 Small Plant. Big Personality. Some plants demand attention the moment they emerge. Others earn it quietly. This little Pink Rosay continues to be the smallest plant inside the entire Project Blue Tent, yet week after week she reminds me that a grower's job isn't to judge a plant by its height, but to help it become the very best version of itself. Growing under my ongoing 12/12 From Seed experiment, she has followed a completely different path from her sister. While Pheno A reached confidently toward the lights, this compact little lady chose to stay low, building an incredibly tight framework instead of chasing vertical growth. If I had grown only this phenotype, I might have wondered why she stayed so small. Instead, growing both sisters side by side has become another beautiful reminder that every seed carries its own personality. And that's exactly why I love growing from seed. 🌸 Week 7 – A Tiny Plant Filled With Flowers This week the transformation became impossible to ignore. Every branch is now carrying clusters of bright white pistils that seem to multiply every single day. What was once a compact green plant is slowly turning into a collection of miniature flower towers, each one stacking neatly above the next. The flowers are still young, but they are forming with wonderful symmetry, and the bud sites are beginning to connect throughout the entire canopy. One thing I particularly enjoy about this phenotype is how proportional everything feels. Nothing is oversized. Nothing feels stretched. Every centimetre of growth seems to have been used efficiently. She may occupy very little space inside the tent, but she's making excellent use of every bit of it. 🌿 Structure & Growth Standing at approximately 63 cm, she has gained a little more height this week while remaining the most compact plant in the room. Her internodal spacing continues to be incredibly tight, producing a naturally dense structure that barely required any training to create an even canopy. The gentle Low Stress Training (LST) performed earlier continues paying dividends by opening the centre of the plant just enough to improve airflow and light penetration without disturbing her natural shape. One thing I've really noticed this week is how balanced her architecture has become. Instead of producing one dominant cola with scattered side branches, she's developing numerous evenly sized flowering tops that should mature together over the coming weeks. She truly feels like a miniature version of her sister. Smaller in every dimension. Just as beautiful. 🍃 Plant Health Health continues to be absolutely outstanding. The leaves maintain a deep emerald-green colour with excellent turgor from top to bottom, showing no signs of deficiencies, toxicity, or environmental stress. Leaf posture remains relaxed and confident, while new growth emerges clean and vibrant around every developing flower. One of the advantages of keeping her under close observation through hand watering is being able to appreciate just how consistently healthy she has remained throughout the entire grow. She isn't asking for special treatment. She's simply responding beautifully to consistency. 💡 Lighting – Every Photon Matters Being the shortest plant in the tent naturally means she spends much of her life beneath a taller canopy. This is exactly where the Lumiflora under-canopy lighting becomes especially valuable. While the Future of Grow Black Series 600W delivers excellent intensity from above, the Lumiflora bars help illuminate the lower sections of this compact phenotype, allowing light to reach bud sites that would otherwise spend much of the day in shade. For a plant with such dense internodal spacing, that additional light penetration could make a significant difference as the flowers continue stacking over the next several weeks. Sometimes the smallest plants benefit the most from thoughtful lighting design. 💧 Hand Watering & Nutrition She continues to be hand-watered rather than connected to the AutoPot system, allowing me to tailor every feeding while monitoring her progress on a daily basis. Current feeding: • Terra Bloom — 2 ml/L • Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal — 1 ml/L • Power Buds — 1 ml/L • Green Sensation — 1 ml/L Maintaining: • EC: 1.95 mS/cm • pH: 5.8 Despite her compact size, she's accepting the current feeding schedule extremely well, maintaining excellent colour while continuing to build flowers across the entire plant. 🌡️ Environment The environmental conditions remain stable, allowing every phenotype inside Project Blue Tent to express its own genetic potential. Current conditions: • Day temperature: 29°C • Night temperature: 25°C • Relative humidity: 60% • Solution temperature: 21°C • Root-zone temperature: 21°C • CO₂: approximately 639 ppm Consistency continues to be one of the biggest contributors to healthy growth, particularly during these important early flowering weeks. 🌼 The Beauty of Letting Plants Be Themselves I think this little Pink Rosay teaches one of the most valuable lessons in growing. Many growers would have looked at her size several weeks ago and immediately assumed something was wrong. Some might even have started over. But plants don't all read the same instruction manual. Phenotypes exist for a reason. Some stretch. Some stay compact. Some focus on structure before flowers. Others race toward the lights. There isn't always a "correct" version. There are simply different expressions of the same genetics. By allowing every plant to finish its own journey instead of comparing it to its neighbours, we often discover that the quietest plants become some of the most memorable ones. Every plant deserves the opportunity to show us what it can become. 👀 Looking Ahead The stretch now appears to be over, and from this point forward I expect nearly all of her energy to be directed toward flower production. Those incredibly tight nodes should begin merging together into dense, compact colas as the calyxes continue swelling over the coming weeks. Will she produce the biggest harvest in the tent? Probably not. But I have a feeling she'll reward patience with beautiful, dense flowers that perfectly reflect her compact personality. Sometimes greatness doesn't come in the biggest package. 🙏 Final Thoughts This little Pink Rosay continues to remind me why I enjoy documenting every single phenotype. She isn't trying to compete with her sister. She isn't trying to become the tallest plant in the room. She's simply expressing the genetics she was given, and she's doing it with remarkable health, beautiful structure, and flowers that become more impressive every single week. As growers, it's easy to compare plants. The real joy comes from appreciating each one for what it is, not for what we expected it to become. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these wonderful genetics, Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these plants thriving, Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting from above, Lumiflora for helping every lower flower receive the light it deserves, TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your encouragement, questions, and shared passion for growing continue to make every update even more rewarding. Small in stature. Beautiful in structure. And proving, one week at a time, that every phenotype deserves the chance to shine. Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

F8 : I think I over vegged. It’s getting a bit out of control. I’m still debating whether to defoliate or not. Otherwise plants are right on schedule. F10: Afgoo is taking the longest to start flowering. They do have the shortest flowering time of 50-60 days. Lots of stretching on the animal crackers. I don’t expect much of a yield from them. Defoliated animal crackers #1. Gave her a low lollipop cut. They grew very bushy underneath. Did get some nice cuttings. F11: Watered with Foxfarm 10ml/gal

It’s warming up outside so the a/c and dehumidifier are working a bit. Got the lights on during the night so just a few hours at lights on they work a bit hard. Cleaned up underneath removing any sucker shoots and leaf that was near the soil. Not much really. Mostly on #3 as I didn’t train out the branches as much and she grew tighter together, so I removed mostly all inner growth blocking light and that allowed a lot more penetration and flow. Left a few leaves below to die off naturally…more the better. Gonna put some Grub Grenades in the pots with some yellow sticky cards. Not because I see anything, just being cautious. I do see what looks like Springtails but don’t seem to be an issue yet. Still looking green and healthy so I’m happy! Grow on! Update Made a few adjustments. I let the tops grow into the tsw2000, 18” to tops. I didn’t like how they looked so I raised it back to 24” where I’ll keep it. The “Kind LED” I know from previous grows that it can’t get closer then 24”. But this is my first run with “Mars” so I’m still figuring out the distance for my setup with additional overlapping light intensity from other lights. With that being said another pod failed so I’m down 2-Kind LED’s now. Gonna remove all old tech and use all newer TS series lighting. All Mars moving forward. Seems to be a great light and when compared to other quality lights you can’t beat the price!

My Strawberry Gorilla Automatic from Fast Buds is now in its third week of flowering, and I couldn’t be happier with how she’s progressing. She looks incredibly healthy, with vibrant green leaves and strong branches. The stretch phase is nearly over, and she has developed a solid structure with a well-defined main cola.🌱 One of the most exciting changes this week is the first appearance of trichomes on the main bud. Under the light, they’re starting to sparkle, hinting at the resin production that’s about to take off. The buds are forming nicely, and I can already smell a faint but promising aroma developing. So far, she’s responding well to the nutrients and environment, with no signs of deficiencies or stress. If she keeps going at this pace, she’s going to be a real beast by harvest time.😊

Well, they got their first topping midway through last week. Waited a few days then gave them a bit more stress with a container change. Probably should have waited a few more days before moving them but they seem to have bounced back well. Started the transition to flowering and will go ahead and give them a quick defoliation and trim again starting next week. That will be the end of clipping and such.

📆 Semana 2 El estiramiento se intensifica, con crecimiento vertical marcado y buena respuesta general. La planta mantiene color sano, turgencia correcta y una estructura que acompaña el aumento de altura sin perder equilibrio. Raíces activas y absorción estable durante esta fase de expansión. Sin intervenciones agresivas, se sigue priorizando estabilidad y control del entorno. Seguimos creciendo fuerte 💪!

End of week 6 and the girls are looking great! Gave them a good defoliation first day of the week (day 41 from seed) because I couldn't get the humidity below 65%. Glad I did, they were so bushy and lots of little branches in the middle, now so much cleaner and much much more airflow. Not sure if because of trimming but they barely grew this week. Blueberry is typically a bit shorter though so may just be the strain. Three plants look very similar with one plant looking 5-7 days behind. Starting to see colour starting already might be some beauties coming! Watering 3 liters a day per plant, just chugging along as the buds come in. Light up to 90% at 18" hitting 700umol/s. UV running 1 hour per day mid cycle 4" intake running around 60% 6" exhaust running 40% Upper oscillating fan 40% Lower oscillating fan on Low

🌱 Grow Diary Update 🌸 What’s up! It’s Week 5, Day 2 of flower, and the girls are looking super happy. 🌿 I had a little hiccup earlier in the week—PPMs started getting a bit high, so I had to hit them with some plain pH’d water to level things out. 💧 Now they’re back on track and coming out at a nice 900ppm. Smooth sailing again! 😌 The room’s starting to smell amazing, and these buds are getting crazy sticky!

Week 4 | Godfather OG Selection's made — she's outside now. The strongest of the three pulled ahead clearly enough that the call wrote itself. Moved her into a 5L pot for the transplant, and gave the roots the same treatment as the rest of the lineup — **RootX** at transplant, delivering mycorrhiza (*Glomus intraradices*), *Trichoderma harzianum*, 13 strains of *Bacillus spp.*, humic acids, amino acids and vitamins straight into the root zone. No transplant shock visible — she's settled in fast, structure looks clean, lateral branching already kicking off, and the green is dark and even across the canopy. Height at 14cm. Out in the garden now means real sun and real airflow instead of tent conditions — light schedule has shifted to natural hours, currently around 17h. Watering bumped to 0.3L per plant per 24h for the bigger pot. Nutrients unchanged: CANNA Aqua Vega 1ml/l, CalMag Agent 0.9ml/l, Aptus Regulator 0.1ml/l. pH 6.2, EC 1.5 mS/cm. Day temps up to 29°C, nights down to 18°C — a proper outdoor swing compared to the tent. Humidity steady at 60%. Next few weeks are about establishing root mass before the real vertical growth kicks in. Updates every Sunday. Stay tuned.

Here they are, finished! The plant in the smaller tent definitely packed on much more weight. The issue with the other plant was being in a 12/12 tent and having a taller plant in there which was hogging the light. Still got beautiful smelling flowers. These were all taken in the last week of flowering. Super happy with the new setup that I put in with the Mars Hydro light! Very nice plants but they did take their sweet time in the beginning.
