💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 10 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno A 🌸 The Week We Stop Touching And Start Watching Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 And this week... there isn't a huge intervention to report. 😂 And honestly? That's exactly what I wanted. After everything we did during the previous weeks, the girls have reached the point where the best thing we can do is step back and let them work. Pickle Lemon Haze F1 Pheno A is looking absolutely beautiful. She's healthy. She's vigorous. She's flowering. And she's showing us the results of all the work we've put into her over the previous weeks. So this week, we're not changing the architecture. We're not performing another major defoliation. We're not moving branches around. We're not trying to force anything. We're watching. And we introduced one new element to the experiment: 💡 LumiFlora 150W Under-Canopy Lighting. 🌿 PHENO A – LETTING HER RECOVER AND DEVELOP Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is approximately 145 cm tall, and she's carrying a substantial flowering structure after her long vegetative period and aggressive stretch. If you've followed the previous update, you'll remember that this girl went through quite a transformation. The plants stretched far more than expected. The vertical space became limited. The LEDs were getting too close. We moved the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent. We raised the LEDs. We opened the canopy with a major defoliation. We installed a second SCROG. We added additional airflow underneath the canopy. And we adjusted the flowering nutrition. There was a lot happening. But now? It's time to see what all of that work actually accomplished. And looking at Pheno A... I'm very happy. 🌸 She's not asking for another big intervention. She's asking for time. So that's what we're giving her. ✂️ THE DEFOILATION IS NOW TELLING ITS STORY One of the things I'm watching particularly closely this week is the response to the major defoliation we performed previously. When we did it, the plants looked dramatically different. We removed a substantial amount of foliage because the canopy had become extremely dense. But the objective was never simply to remove leaves. The objective was to make the flowering structure more functional. Now we're beginning to see the result. The plant has opened up. The branches are easier to see. The flowering sites have more space around them. Air can move through the structure more freely. And Pheno A continues developing beautifully. That's the part I love about this stage. The work was done weeks ago. Now we're watching the plant respond to it. There's nothing to rush. There's nothing to force. We simply observe. 🌿 And that's actually a very important part of cultivation. Knowing when to act is important. Knowing when NOT to act can be just as important. 💡 INTRODUCING THE LUMIFLORA UNDER-CANOPY LIGHT There is one new addition this week. The **LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light** is now part of the setup. And with plants this large, the reason for introducing supplemental lighting underneath becomes pretty obvious. The main LEDs are providing the primary light from above. But when a plant reaches this size and develops this much structure, the lower portions of the canopy naturally receive less direct light. That's simply how a dense canopy works. So instead of constantly removing more foliage to chase light penetration, we're taking another approach. We're bringing supplemental light to the lower canopy. The LumiFlora is a **150W full-spectrum fixture**, with additional emphasis toward the red portion of the spectrum. We're positioning it underneath the canopy to provide additional usable light to areas that naturally receive less from the main fixtures. The idea isn't to replace the overhead lighting. It's to complement it. The main LEDs continue doing the heavy lifting from above. The LumiFlora gives the lower portion of the plant another source of light. And now... we watch. 💡🌱🌸 I'm particularly interested in seeing how the lower flowering sites respond over the coming weeks. That's the experiment now. 🕸️ THE SECOND SCROG IS STILL DOING ITS JOB The second SCROG that we installed last week is also staying exactly where it is. And that's another reason why we're not doing much this week. It's working. The first SCROG helped us organize the plant during the vegetative phase. The second SCROG is now helping support the flowering branches as they continue developing. With Pheno A being such a tall and vigorous plant, that additional support will become increasingly useful as the flowers gain weight. We're not trying to force her into another shape now. The architecture has already been established. We're simply giving that architecture the support it needs to finish. 🌬️ AIRFLOW – KEEPING THE CANOPY MOVING The airflow arrangement we created last week is also staying in place. We have airflow working above and below the canopy, with the additional Zamnesia clip fan underneath helping move air through the lower portion of the plant. That's especially useful now that we've introduced supplemental lighting underneath the canopy. More light underneath means we want the lower canopy to remain well ventilated as well. So we're keeping the air moving through multiple levels of the plant. Again... nothing dramatic. Nothing complicated. Just a stable environment and consistent airflow. And when everything is working? Don't fix what isn't broken. 😂💙 NUTRITION – KEEPING THE GIRL HAPPY The feeding program also remains consistent. We're continuing with the PLAGRON Hydro program: PLAGRON Hydro A — 2.2 ml/L PLAGRON Hydro B — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 PLAGRON Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L 🌸 PLAGRON Power Buds — 1 ml/L pH adjusted as required The plants are responding beautifully, so there is no reason to make unnecessary changes. They're drinking. They're flowering. They're developing. And they're showing us healthy growth. So we continue. This is another part of the experiment that I really enjoy. Sometimes the best feeding strategy is simply consistency and observation. Don't feed a number. Watch the plant. 💙 🌸 THIS WEEK IS ABOUT PATIENCE If I had to describe this week's update in one word, it would be: Patience. We've already done the big work. Now we're waiting to see the results. Pheno A has had time to recover from the defoliation. She's settling into the second SCROG. The airflow is established. The LEDs have been raised. The vertical space problem has been solved. The nutrition is stable. And now we've introduced supplemental under-canopy lighting. That's enough variables. We don't need to keep adding more. 😂 So this week we're simply watching her flower. 🌿 FROM BUILDING THE PLANT TO BUILDING THE FLOWERS For so many weeks, the story of Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A was about building the plant. Growing. Training. Stretching. Topping. SCROG. Branch development. Canopy management. Defoliation. But now? The structure is there. The framework is established. The support is in place. The environment is stable. And the story is changing. Now I want to see those flowering sites become the main character. 🌸 That's why we're not touching much. We're giving her the opportunity to turn all that structure into flowers. 🔬 SAME ROOM. SAME ENVIRONMENT. HER OWN STORY. One of the most interesting parts of Project Blue Tent is that all four plants are sharing the same ecosystem. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same environmental conditions. Same cultivation philosophy. And yet... each phenotype still tells her own story. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A has certainly given us one hell of a chapter. 😂💙 She's been vigorous. She's stretched aggressively. She's needed structural management. She's gone through a major defoliation. She even lost one branch during training. And despite all of that... she's still standing beautifully. That's her story. And now we're getting to see what she does with the space we've created for her. 🌸 CURRENT GROW CONDITIONS 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: approximately 145 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ☀️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 27°C 💧 Relative humidity: 61% ⚗️ pH: 6.01 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.49 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 24°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 24°C 🌬️ CO₂: approximately 666 ppm 💦 Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 8 L 💡 LumiFlora Under-Canopy: 150W Full Spectrum 💙 THE BEST THING WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW Looking at Pheno A this week, I keep coming back to the same thought: Leave her alone. 😂 Not literally, of course. We're still monitoring everything. We're still checking the environment. We're still watching the nutrition. We're still observing the flowers. We're still making sure the airflow is doing its job. But we're not trying to constantly manipulate the plant. We've done the structural work. Now we want the plant to show us the result. And that's a very satisfying stage to reach. 🔭 LOOKING AHEAD Over the next few weeks, I'll be watching several things closely. 🌸 Flower development throughout the canopy. 💡 The response of the lower flowering sites to the LumiFlora. 🌿 How Pheno A continues recovering from the heavy defoliation. 🕸️ How the second SCROG supports the developing branches. 🌬️ How the airflow performs through the mature canopy. How the plants continue responding to the current feeding program. But for now... no major changes. No unnecessary intervention. Just observation. Because Pheno A is looking happy. And when she's happy... I'm happy. 😂💙 🌸 FINAL THOUGHTS – NOW WE WATCH What a difference a few weeks can make. Not long ago, we were looking at this plant and wondering how we were going to fit her into the tent. The stretch was aggressive. The LEDs were getting too close. The canopy was becoming too dense. We had to move equipment. We had to raise the lights. We had to defoliate. We had to install another SCROG. We had to improve the airflow. And now? We're standing back and watching. That's the beauty of this stage. The work has already been done. The plant has been given the structure. The room has been given the space. The branches have been given support. The canopy has been opened. The environment is stable. And now we've added one more tool to the experiment: The LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light. It's not about throwing more and more equipment at the plants. It's about giving the lower canopy an additional source of light now that the plants have become so large. And then... we wait. Because sometimes the best thing a grower can do is recognize when the plant doesn't need another intervention. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A has already done her part. She's built the structure. She's survived the stretch. She's recovered from the defoliation. She's adapted to the new architecture. She's continued flowering. And now... she gets to finish. 💙🌸🌿 🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these beautiful Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics phenotype by phenotype. Thank you to PLAGRON for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these vigorous girls through their flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, curved scissors and clip fans that continue playing such important roles inside this project. Thank you to Mars Hydro for the irrigation and drainage system that keeps these girls consistently supplied and the ecosystem running smoothly. And a special thank you to **LumiFlora** for the 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light, which we're now introducing into the experiment to see how supplemental lower-canopy lighting performs during this stage of flowering. And of course, thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document the entire journey. Most importantly... thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. This week wasn't about doing more. It was about seeing what everything we've already done has created. We trained her. We supported her. We opened her up. We gave her room. We improved the airflow. We raised the lights. And now... we watch. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno A is healthy. She's vigorous. She's flowering beautifully. And she's got everything she needs to continue the journey. So this week, we're putting the tools down... taking a step back... and letting this beautiful girl do what she does best. Grow. Flower. Finish. 💙🌸🌿 Until next week... More flowers. More observation. Less interference. And hopefully... a whole lot more Pickle Lemon Haze F1 magic. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

This week was a big week for the candy cush. I noticed upon watering her to run off, that in the same day the pot would go super dry and light weight. I also noticed stress in the leaves and roots poking out the bottom of the pot. It was time for a transplant. So far so good! Upon transplanting i performed more LST to help her fill in the pot. She went from a 1 gallon to a 5 gallon. She was also defoliated thia week.

Hello all and welcome back to my grow. First and foremost it would be awesome if you would please hit that like and follow button and feel free to leave a comment. Much appreciated 🙏! I hoping for some good growth this week and planning on topping all the plants for the first time. I'll also be adding a air intake fan and filter this week. This will help maintain levels of CO2 in the tent as well as bring in warm air to help maintain Temps. Also once it's not below zero degrees lol ill connect the intake to draw air from outside which will be cooler. The air intake is coming into the tent from the bottom and then exhausted back out. The air intake will also allow me to turn up my outtake without the issue of negative pressure. I'll also be adding all organic organacide prevention measures this week. The ladies are still coming out of a week where they were over watered. Most of them are looking good, one has dry leaves and not looking hot. I'm thinking she will pull through as there is still new growth daily. Day 15 Feb 15th- No water today. Topped Tahoe OG today. I miss counted nodes and wished I would have waited one more node, but oh well. Day 16 Feb 16th- No water Day 17 Feb 17th- All plants received 30 ML of water directed at the stem as well as a foliar spraying to wet the top of the soil. Added air intake. Humidity set back to 65. Gently bent leaves down to expose undergrowth Day 18 Feb 18th- plants had explosive growth over night 😁. All plants recieved 90 ML of water. Water had Mykos. Gently bent leaves down to expose undergrowth. Day 19 Feb 19th- all plants recieved 1 solo cup full of water. Only one plant had a tiny bit of run off. Plants looking healthy. Day 20 Feb 20th- No water today. Turned on air intake. Turned off humidifier. Day 21 Feb 21st- No water today. Upon inspection at end of light cycle from yesterday saw fungus gnats. I assume it'd from the previous overwater and never letting soil completely dry. Drying soil.. have neem oil ready to go if need. Upon inspection if lights on same or less gnats. Only about 5. Trimmed first leaves and singles from all plants.

Week 16 - 06/28 - 07/04 Light - 200 W HPS & 265 W LED Day Temperature - 78 F Night Temperature - 68 F Humidity - 40 +/-5 D59 Flower - Came home from vacation to some fat sugar coated buds! I flushed them with FloraKleen and molasses, this should be the last one before I snip down the main colas. Since they are close to harvest, I spent about an hour defoliating so harvest will go a little quicker. D60 Flower - Took the ladies out to breathe, take some pics, and snipped the tops off the Royal Gorilla's. I'm going to allow the Hulkberry's to mature a little longer and probably do the same thing and snip the tops. D61 Flower - Unfortunately HB #3 hermies on me, she had a bunch of "bananas". So I cut her down and hung her to dry, Sucks to lose her but she will do well in some RSO! Unmanicured wet weight was 251 g. I am also going to be testing out the bowl bud trimmer I just ordered on these buds to make sure they dont damage the buds too much.

Some new growth late in wk2, she has got a few more leaves so good progress, just feeding her 'root juice' for now until she establishes herself a little more, will be cloning this plant hopefully to get a few more ladies off her. Now under 600w LED in veg mode. Lighting cycle 18/6. 6/10 Update: Slightly pale leaves so appears she is ready for her first N feed, gave her a lite application of Biobizz Grow, silica, drop of superthrive and maxicrop.

Läuft gut soweit. Lichtstärke der Lampe auf 60% gestellt. Ein paar Blätter entfernt, die Nebentrieben das Licht genommen haben. Ich habe das Gefühl die Lemon Haze wächst etwas langsamer. Eventuell braucht die Sorte wärmere Temperaturen.

March 29, 2024 Day 43 It's a new week and things need some changing. First off, the light was changed around. Secondly the reservoirs are all clean now and have a fresh gallon of nutrients. Finally, environmental factors. Both plants look absolutely beautiful. They have buds popping up everywhere. They are both 14" tall and have the same structure. They are seriously hard to tell apart. Flowering just started and we are in the beginning of the stretch. With the current stage and current growth patterns, hopefully I can expect between 24" and 36" plants. They are also perfectly level with the other 2 plants in the tent. So it's quite a nice ocean of tops. Some of the branches are a bit lower than the majority. I'm not worried. They are pretty strong branches. They just need more time to adjust from the training. I'm also considering the SCroG net more. It looks like I'm going to need it for a few branches. Mostly the main side branches, but the auxiliary branches are roughly the same height. I won't be doing any more structure training. Now it will be keeping the canopy level and minor adjustments. The shape and structure of both plants are exactly where I want them. Not too wide and just barely touching the other plants. Now it's a matter of upward growth. Personally, and based on experience, I think a 36" to 48" plant is fine to manage. Anything bigger in this size tent and it becomes unmanageable. As for lighting, the light was about 22" from the canopy today. I raised it back up to 24" and increased the power back to 90%. The DLI is roughly around 44 mol/m²/d. The PAR is around 675 ppfd. Something like that. Also, the very outside of the tent walls, the DLI is around 40 mol/m²/d. So it's still in range for the whole tent. Perfect footprint. Watering was reset today. All reservoirs were cleaned out and a fresh gallon of nutrients went in. That includes the B-52. Next watering I'll be adding Sensizym when it arrives. As for the nutrient regimen, I undecided to stay with a half dose. Especially considering the fact that I'm running a bottom feed system which provides a constant water source. So the uptake could get a lot of build up with too much nutrients. This happened with some nitrogen toxicity last week. It was cleared up in no time, but that was just too much nutrients. So half I go. It should turn out perfect. The environment is looking great! I won't be changing anything up yet. The temp is spot on around 77° and the humidity is at 55%. Exactly where I want it. I will keep this environment for the rest of the flowering stretch and then I'll start to drop things down. Down to 75° and humidity of 50%. The last week of flowering, I'll try to drop the temp down to 73° and 40%. It shouldn't be a problem. The light will also be backed off with a decrease in power. But that's not for weeks. Maybe even a couple months. But the way these are growing and the reputation FastBuds has, they should be ready in 3 to 5 weeks. According to FastBuds, the veg time is between 30 and 45 days. And flowering time is the 40 to 45 days. So around 8 to 10 weeks. It took 41 days to hit flower, so that's on the high end, but within range. Maybe it will be the same 40 days in flower. Maybe 30 days. I'll take 4 weeks. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.0° RH: 53.8% VPD: 1.38 kPa March 30, 2024 Not a lot going on for these two today. Both ladies drank about a third of a gallon yesterday and seems to be holding steady. I also checked the roots. Tropicana C isn't showing any at the moment. I was sure they would be showing by now. However Tropicana Cookies has roots showing. The funny thing is that they are the same size and still look the exact same. Both ladies got a haircut today. Not much, just some outer leaves to keep them more compact and within their quadrant. However, based on their size and growth, I may have to put the SCroG net up at 18". That should do the trick if there are any branches that take off. I also ordered the crossbars by AC Infinity. Very happy with this purchase. Now I can run the SCroG net across the entire tent without it sucking in. I can also mount my supplemental lights on it horizontally. That will give even more lower light coverage. The goal is to have no larf this go. Popcorn buds are fine as long as they are dense. This strain is supposed to produce massively dense buds. So with the setup I'm running, I should be expecting some quality bud throughout the whole plant. The light also got lifted again today. I kept the power the same, but the DLI was high at 55 mol/m²/d in the center. Much too high. Also, Tropicana Cookies was drooping before the lights got shut off yesterday. A sure sign of too much light. It seems that quadrant, in the back left corner, has more light. Maybe the grow light isn't level. Anyway, I lifted the light to 25" above the canopy. The footprint is amazing. With the center of the tent producing 48 mol/m²/d with the outside at 44 mol/m²/d. Not much of a difference and the lighting is great everywhere. I'll have to check back and see what Tropicana Cookies looks tonight. The environment is mostly alright. The temp is a bit high at 79.5°. But the humidity is perfect at 55%. Unfortunately the temp is throwing the VPD off by a decent amount at 1.50 kPa. It needs to be around 1.33 kPa. The daily average is spot on though, so that's great! Neither plant needed watering today. They both drank about a third of a gallon last night. So I expect to have to refill the reservoir in a couple days. I'd like to note that the new nutrient schedule i found didn't have Tasty Terpenes in it, so I will be adding that at 4 ml and Big Bud as well at 4 ml for the next refill. Oh and I'll also be adding the Sensizym next watering. I believe it calls for 4 ml. Basically this nutrient schedule runs at half dose. So it's pretty easy to work with. There are a few things missing, like bud ignitor and bud factor x, but everything else seems to be roughly the same as what I was using before. The major difference is the schedule itself. The old schedule was based on a photoperiod grow and that meant it was way too far extended than that of an autoflower. This new schedule takes out the guess work and makes for a really good starting point. I'm sure over time I'll change a few other things, like adding the rest of the nutrients and tweaking the amounts here and there. I'm definitely not that good yet, so I'll be learning along the way. It'll be slow going with my small setup, but I should be able to figure out the precise dosage of each nutrient based on the plant. Someday. One last thing. I increased the Cal/Mag back up to 8 ml/gal. This schedule calls for it. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.9° RH: 54.5% VPD: 1.35 kPa March 31, 2024 These two are identical. They even have the same single top slightly taller than the rest. It's wild! They are looking great in every way now. Beautiful color green. Nice growth, they aren't quite as tall I had hoped by now, it maybe they are just low to take off. Afterall, they really just started to flower. Still kind of in pre-flower. Anyway, these two should start to take off anytime. If they don't, bummer but I'll still get some quality bud. I think it has mostly to do with the medium. It's reused and probably drained of all its original nutrients. That being said, I missed a few nutrients for the veg stage, and that could be the issue with the lack of vigor these plants are supposed to have. These ladies will be needing a reservoir top off today. Later this afternoon. They aren't quite empty enough yet, but will be in a couple of hours. Then I can refill the reservoirs. Unfortunately I still don't have the Sensizym yet, so I'm watering without again. But, I do have the bud Candy, B- 52 and Big Bud. So that's good. Oh and the Tasty Terpenes too. All at half dose of course. This should at least pump some crazy goodness in the bud development. I didn't change the light at all. No need. Both plants are happy as can be. They are reaching slightly and look great. This should also help with the stretch. I've also decided to put the SCroG net at 18". That should give me enough time to let the rest of the ant catch up but also tall enough to take care of any renegade tops from overshadowing the rest of the plants. Also, the plants are only 14.5" tall so far, so the light need not be moved. The environment is quite happy as well. It's hovering between 76° and 79°. The humidity is great! Hanging out just at 55.5%. The VPD is also in a great place around 1.35 kPa. Grow System Environment: Temp: 77.4° RH: 54.6% VPD: 1.43 kPa April 1, 2024 Not much today. I made 1 adjustment to Tropicana Cookies. One branch was starting to take off from the others and happily it was closer to the center of the plant so I pulled it out and tied it down to be just under the rest of the canopy. Neither plant needs watering today. They may not need it for a couple more days. The bottoms of the containers are nice and moist, but they aren't taking in a lot of water. Tropicana Cookies has tons of roots and still isn't taking more in than her sister plant. It's strange. Tropicana C has only a few roots popping out of the bottom sides. This could mean a root ball building up and soon will grow roots downward. At least, that's what is supposed to happen. They both grew a couple inches last night as well. Now they are 16" and climbing. I also raised the light today. I raised it nearly 2" To make up for the canopy. The DLI was kind of high at near 50 mol/m²/d on the outer parts of the tent and was over 58 mol/m²/d on the inside. Now it's back down to 45 mol/m²/d in the outside of the footprint and 53 mol/m²/d on the inside. The plants aren't in the center for this exact reason. So there is a small open space dead cell center where my dehumidifier is. Near perfect coverage. I just need a bar style light and all my lighting issues will be solved. The environment is a bit of today, but not too far off. The temp is a little low at 74.7° with the humidity being closer to 58%. It should adjust in a few hours and all will be good. Side note, I really can't tell the plants apart in the pictures. Just clues of other things in the pics. Still hard to tell. So they may be off for a bit until I can figure out what is what. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.4° RH: 55.2% VPD: 1.31 kPa April 2, 2024 A bit of a to do today. Both ladies got a small haircut. It's been a few days now and they both kind of needed it. Mostly to keep them compact and not to overtake any other plants. Both plants have reached 19" and climbing. If I'm correct, I think the math shows 3 ft plants. It took a couple days for them to start taking off, but they were 16" yesterday and are now 19" today. That's 3" of growth over 24 hours. The stretch should take another week or 2. At this rate, 36" is quite possible. Tropicana Cookies needed a bit more trimming than her sister plant. Just a bit more, but still. Tropicana C didn't need as much trimming. Her leaves are full and beautiful. She just hasn't filled out quite as much yet. Well, now they are the same anyway, so we should see each of them grow back the same way. That's the goal anyway. I may not need a SCroG net afterall. Maybe it will be needed at 24" or maybe 30". Either way, I don't currently need it. If I had a bigger tent, it may benefit a tiny bit, but that's if I had a bigger tent. The light needed to be lifted again today. Another inch. I may have to do 2" instead. The light is roughly 23.5", but the DLI is roughly at 45 mol/m²/d. So that should be good, but it is a bit high in the center at 52 mol/m²/d. Not a problem for now, but the plants are starting to fill in the center, so I need to be careful with the light intensity. It shouldn't be an issue. The plants get rotated almost daily to help fit in the tent better. The environment is pretty good today with the temp at 76° and the humidity around 55% but can reach 58%. So it's a bit bouncy today. But the temp is pretty stable. The DLI is pretty good as well at 1.30 kPa. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.2° RH: 58.2% VPD: 1.18 kPa April 3, 2024 Watering day today. Both ladies got a full gallon top off. All nutrients are finally in the mix. It's looking good. The plants are super happy. It looks like a gallon every 3 days is where we are for now. They are both stretching pretty hard now. Already at 21" from yesterday's 19". I may have to install the SCroG net tomorrow. Nothing is really shooting up much, but the canopy is a bit off. It's about half and half. Some branches are tall with some still being a bit stubby and short. The short ones look just as good as the taller ones, with nice bud production, but still short. If it continues, I'll need the SCroG net. I'd like to note that the internodal spacing is really nice. The bud sites are looking fantastic with plenty of space to grow some super fat nugs without clumping on top of each other. The leaf coverage is perfect now. I don't think I'll need to defoliate again for the rest of the grow. I may remove a leaf here and there, but that's it. The light needed to be raised a couple inches. The DLI was over 50 mol/m²/d. Now it's back to normal. The light is just over 24" from the canopy. The DLI is back down to 45 mol/m²/d and the footprint is looking great! The environment is a bit skewed today with rain outside. The humidity is up to 59% and the temp is a little lower at 75°. Even with the dehumidifier on. I may have to turn on the main dehumidifier in my room and see what happens. It should adjust itself this afternoon. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.6° RH: 56.2% VPD: 1.29 kPa April 4, 2024 Not much going on today. I got my side bars in so I installed those and the SCroG net to about an inch over the canopy. Some of the tops are starting to take off and need to be pulled back down. I didn't bother checking the water today. It's definitely not ready and tomorrow is the start of a new week. I may not even be able to water for another day or so. It should be fine though. The light was also left alone. No need to move it until the ladies catch up. The environment is also looking pretty good today. The temp is at a nice 76° with the humidity at 55%. The VPD looks great at 1.33 kPa. Everything looking great. What a great end to a productive week. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.5° RH: 54.8% VPD: 1.33 kPa

This lady is certainly a a dark horse, the smell is amazing.. an old school smell that reminds me of my times in Amsterdam many years back. She is showing no signs of nutrition issues, and the buds are swelling at rapid rate. They are dense and pungent with a fruity hint.

She’s getting too tall 😅 and she still has a few more weeks of veg, thankfully I have a little more space to hide them from neighbors! I wonder how much more explosive the flowering will be! And will have to do something about these mites mann, they’re driving me crazyyyyy. But I gotta work with what I got for now.

I went too far with root juice and Top Veg because the Sunset Sherbet shows some burning in the leaves. Gorilla Breath never appeared so I hope the quality of the seed wasnt the best (gift seed that traveled from California(USA) to Mallorca (SPAIN), im pretty sure its because it was seed-gift quality and no bought-seed quality) Our indoor will be full by Sweet Seeds . Tropicana poisson is the fastest and strongest by the moment ! I dont know why it do not appear in GROW DIARIES seeds but its a GIRL SCOUT COOKIES x TANGIE x RED POISSON (Only this auto). The zkittles do not deserve any review yet, they are doing their thing little by little, nothing expectacular. REMEMBER ALL MY DIARIES ARE FOR SELF CONSUMPTION REMEMBER ALL MY DIARIES ARE A SHARE-POINT OF INFORMATION ! dont be affraid of comment,suggest and share your experiences with me !

Plants continued to mature this week and all the buds are getting fat they will have there last nutrient feed this week in prep for flushing and harvest next week. The Lemon Zkittles looks and smells amazing looks amazing. Nearly all the plants look and smell the small, good genetics and breading. The Cxx is again a very stable genetics and flowered and smells exactly as the last grow did. Good genetics. The Peyote Cookies and Shishkaberry also grew well and similar, good genetics. Afghan Kush amazing buds and very earthy smell.classic The gorilla cookies had a rather large variation in pheno types but all look amazing and each will be a pleasure to smoke.

I should have gotten a trellis net, lesson for the next grow… fat colas everywhere with no signs of pest or mold. Tricromes haven’t began to show amber as yet.
