Hey Cannafam Happy Monday, My Apricot gal has had another pretty good week. Absolutely no rain again and just dry mainly Sunny days. This has been the best year by far that i can remember in the UK, but as nice as it is for weed wild fires are now happening over here and to a greater extent in France and Spain. My thoughts and prayers are with our European neighbours and anyone on GD affected by this 🙏 The weather has been not as hot but stable and warm, Tuesday - Friday temps have been bang on 25c daytime and 15c nighttime with continuos Sun and things dipped a bit on the weekend and today at 23c daytime with a bit of cloud and 14c night which overall has been more favorable for her. Humidity has remained again in the 70s averaging 72% and daylight hours are at 15 hrs 30 minutes. This gal has been changing colour further during the week with the beautiful purple hues coming out in her leaves and some in the buds. Her flowers are coming on nicely and absolutely loaded with trichomes shes super frosty 😊 Shes just had the 1 feed again this week again and although she has yellowing leaves somd were the scorched one and some are gettin that fade so it feels right for her, alhough i may a slight boost of pk next watering. Her Smell also has changed this week, shes gone from socks to a sweetish candy smell. Bud development is good and shes now started the maturation process. Her flowers are also looking very solid, so shes gonna deliver some hard frosty nuggets 😁 Thats all from me for now, thanks for stoppin by ✌️💚

3rd grow underway! 2 RQS Royal Cheese (freebies from seedsman) strains - Thelma + Louise! Thelma is in the 2gal and Louise in the 3gal pot. Thelma is about a week ahead of the other.

Empiezan a salir unas manchas marrones, tengo muchas hojas, estoy pensando en defoliar.

Week 1 of flower

Budlets have formed now on each branch, 8 days after 12/12. Its quickly grown back into a bushy bastard. I do plan to do 1 more semi heavy leaf strip sometime between now and end of week 3. This girl has been strong. Sitting beside my Gorilla Glue which has had a small pm problem but nothing here. Update: found pollen sacs this evening. This is a hermie 😫. Sadly i cut her down and into the trash she went. Luckily i have been flowering one of the family since the beginning of September so I will be able to finish the journal. Also, if you peak around her on the side I have 1 of my Crocketts that i threw in here a month ago. I dont know if I should put pictures of her up on here because i dont want to confuse anything. What I can say is she is smaller but incredibly sugary for being only a month after 12/12

Day 85 (September 9th): Today is day 43 of flower and things are shaping up nicely. Colas are fattening up. It looks like the yields aren’t going to be super high, but the bud should be premium. Couple more weeks! Day 88: Girls are getting thicker every day. Colas are filling out nicely. Water tomorrow, no nutrients. All waterings from here on will be just plain water Day 91: Gave the girls some humid acid today to use up the last of the nutrients in the soil. 1/2tsp per liter was my mix rate.

Yesterday i took off some Leafs down there. Looks Like a Bouquet now 😄 She's responding great to the Training i have her. I'm pretty exited how she'll do in the Future weeks 🤙🏽

Can't wait for each of them to finish out. Giving them hopefully their full amount of water, less with the auto as it was stunted by the 12/12.

Eccoci di nuovo qui!!! Super eccitato per questa nuova collab con Exotic Seed, team davvero al top, che mi ha dato l’opportunità di testare questa nuova genetica e di condividere i progressi con tutti voi!!! Come sempre partiamo nei bicchieri per poi travasare.. Questa volta verrà svolto tutto sotto la Lumatek Zeus 465 ProC, mi aspetto molto da questo ciclo!! Settimana incredibile!!! Grazie a tutti per il supporto ❤️🍀🔥

This is exactly the 🇲🇦 morroccan 🇲🇦 way of sifting resin from kief. Traditionally, apart the hand rubbing method, dry sifting through a mesh is the most used way to obtain resin, from 🇦🇫 Afghanistan 🇦🇫 or 🇳🇵Nepalese 🇳🇵 Mountains to 🇲🇦 Morocc 🇲🇦 Rif passing through Bekaa valley in 🇱🇧Lebanon 🇱🇧. The average size of meshes used vary from 90 to 180 microns and are mostly made by silk and for this reason uneven. I think the most productive ways to sift are Dry Ice and  rotating pollinator + CO2, I've tried a DIY pollinator built by a friend and it can reach up to 20/25% of resin extracted at 120 microns and 15% at 90 microns. But smell and taste don't reach that traditionally extracted but this is another story. Morroccan way is good compromise between a stashbox or more evolute methods. It requires less than 10 dollar of expenses. You need: a basin or pot  without handles a heavy-duty plastic bag that contains the basin a pair of chopsticks a good 120 microns net an elastic band tape Kif or trim q.s. Here is the link where I buy my meshes. Very high quality, customable size and material (steel or nylon) and length and very kind vendor on AliExpress https://a.aliexpress.com/_uwfQzq Drum for 3 minutes. .....perhaps you will find that you have an innate talent as a drummer, throw the shit away and put your head right......

She is starting to chunk up now. I'm doing the same fertilizer routine as last week.

The plant has grown a lot since last week and I'm starting to struggle with LST because of the numerous leaves that I don't find very important. So I want to do some research about defoliation which didn't interest me at first since it's high stress but I think it will be needed here.

Tout se passe bien pour elle, aucune carence en vue, peut-être un petit excès d'azote. Le stretch semble terminé, il ne reste plus qu'à la laissé gonfler 💪 Prochain arrosage à l'eau clair ph ajusté.

WHATS NEW...? THIS WEEK SHE MADE AVERAGE PROGRESS. PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE HIGH TEMPERATURES (90F/30C). BUT NEXT WEEK IM GONNA PROBABLY GET MY NEW DEHUMIDIFIER AND THE NEXT WEEKS GONNA BE MUCH COLDER ON AVERAGE COMPARED TO LAST MONTH (SUMMER ENDS). SO SHE HOPEFULLY GETS IN THE NEXT 1-2 WEEKS A BOOST WHEN THE TEMPS ARE MORE IDEAL. THE EXTRA CO2 PROBABLY ALSO HELPS. KEEP ON GROWING, SMOKING & ENJOYING LIFE ☢️👽💨

🌸 Week 5 – Pink Rosay Auto (Pheno B) Compact by Nature, Beautiful by Choice Every grow tells a different story. Although this Pink Rosay shares exactly the same genetics, soil, environment, lighting, feeding schedule, and growing technique as her sister, she has chosen a completely different path. That is one of the most fascinating aspects of growing from seed: every phenotype expresses its own personality. Just like the rest of this project, she began life under a strict 12/12 light schedule from the very first day. No vegetative period, no transplant delays, and no opportunity to build weeks of structural growth before flowering. Every decision she has made has happened under flowering conditions, making her development a true reflection of her own genetic expression. Unlike her taller sister, this little lady has remained incredibly compact from the very beginning. Rather than investing her energy into vertical growth, she has concentrated on building a thick central structure with tight internodal spacing and a dense canopy that looks incredibly healthy. Sometimes bigger simply isn’t the goal. ⸻ 🌱 Plant Development During the past week she has fully committed herself to flowering. The stretch has been very modest, reaching only around 50 cm, yet every internode is now producing healthy clusters of fresh white pistils. Bud sites are appearing from top to bottom, and despite her small stature, there are far more flowering points than first impressions might suggest. Her structure reminds me of a classic compact indica expression—short, sturdy and incredibly efficient. One thing I enjoy seeing is how uniform the canopy remains. Instead of one dominant leader racing ahead, most of the branches have stayed within a comfortable working height, creating a very balanced plant that should be easy to manage throughout bloom. She may never become the tallest plant in the room, but she certainly doesn’t look like she intends to waste any energy. ⸻ 🌿 Environment & Growing Conditions The environment remained exactly the same as for the rest of the Project Blue Tent. * 12/12 light cycle from seed * Future of Grow Black Series LED providing approximately 850 PPFD * Mammoth Pro tent with excellent airflow * Temperature around 31°C during lights on * Relative humidity averaging 72% * CO₂ around 639 ppm These warm conditions have encouraged extremely rapid flower initiation across the entire room, and this Pink Rosay is no exception. Even though her stretch has been minimal, she has transitioned into flower without hesitation. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program Like the other hand-watered plants in this project, she is growing in Plagron Lightmix inside a 15 L container and is not connected to the AutoPot system. She received approximately 0.9 litres of nutrient solution per watering, allowing complete control over moisture levels while encouraging strong root development. This week’s feeding consisted of: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Roots – 1 ml/L • Sugar Royal – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L The nutrient balance has kept the foliage beautifully green, healthy and vibrant. Leaf colour remains deep without showing signs of nutrient excess, while new flowering growth continues to appear every day. ⸻ 🌸 Phenotype Notes This phenotype perfectly demonstrates why I enjoy growing multiple plants of the same variety. If someone only grew this Pink Rosay, they might assume the strain is naturally compact. If they only grew Pheno A, they might believe it stretches aggressively. Neither conclusion would be completely accurate. They’re simply expressing different combinations of the same genetic potential. That’s one of the reasons I always enjoy documenting every individual plant rather than judging a strain based on a single example. Every phenotype has something unique to teach us. At the moment, this little lady seems determined to trade size for efficiency, and honestly, I’m perfectly happy to let her do exactly that. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead The coming weeks should reveal her true potential. Now that flowering has fully begun, I expect most of her remaining energy to shift away from vertical growth and into building flower mass. Her tight internodal spacing could become a real advantage later on, producing dense, well-stacked colas with very little wasted stem. I’ll continue following the Plagron feeding schedule, monitor her closely, and only make adjustments if she tells me she needs them. Sometimes the smallest plants surprise us the most once harvest day finally arrives. ⸻ 💭 Final Thoughts This week reminded me that successful growing isn’t about forcing every plant to fit the same mould. Some plants stretch. Some stay compact. Some become giants. Others remain small but reward us with exceptional quality. So far, this Pink Rosay has shown excellent health, beautiful leaf colour, vigorous flower development and a calm, balanced growth pattern. She may not dominate the room in size, but she certainly deserves her place in this project. I’m genuinely excited to see what this compact little phenotype has been quietly preparing behind all those healthy green leaves. A huge thank you to Zamnesia for these fantastic genetics, Plagron for providing the nutrition that keeps these plants thriving, Future of Grow for the outstanding lighting, TrolMaster for maintaining such a stable environment, and to everyone following this journey here on GrowDiaries. Your support, encouragement, questions, and shared passion for growing continue to make this adventure even more rewarding. The flowers have arrived. Now the real magic begins. Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💚

Day 98 😇 10% amber thricomes, bubble hash with lower side of the plants, I will show you also buds pics in harvest week. Time to dismantle the two growboxes and enjoy spring and summer 👋😎🌞
