This week, we had a lot of filling out. Violet doesn't seem to grow as tall as wide! The leaves are so pretty, it's heartbreaking to cut them. 9/13 day 37 I thought I started noticing yesterday, but today, Violet quite obviously has red hairs! Hard to notice at a distance, up close, most of the buds have definite red hairs that match my own. Happy about her recent feeding, her luster is returning, and she's more and more full every day. 9/15 day 39 Every day is crazy hair day around this camp, and Violet always shows out with her long, white pistils. Over the last couple of days, the red hairs have been drowned out by more long whites, though I don't know why the back and forth. She is still getting very droopy kind of early, and no light adjustment seems to alleviate this. I've been reluctant to turn the light up to a proper level for flower so far because of it. Can not enough light cause similar symptoms? Every couple of days, I remove a leaf or two, do some tucking to uncover bud tops, and add or adjust LST. Getting wider than taller, she's really started to fill up the cabinet! 9/17 day 41 I take Violet out of the cabinet for what will probably be one of the last times, if not the very last. One fault of our cabinet is the narrow doorway, which we probably need to widen out at some point. Her layers are so well-defined and even, it is easy to see the separate tiers when looking at her straight on. I take off four big, sexy leaves, two of them the remaining original big fan leaves from the first nodes. There are still a couple more that need to come off the very top, but I can do those later, and I don't want to shock her too much at once. I also water 1gal today, enough to barely run out to preserve those nutes from last week's feeding. She looks very tired and sad as I tuck her back into the cabinet. Hopefully she will recover for morning pics. 9/18 day 42 Violet is slow to wake today. I have to detangle all her little leaves every morning, and today is extra. I'm going to adjust her light today. I've been waiting for her to not be so droopy at night, but we're going to see if it maybe helps instead of hurts. I do a moderate raise to 750 PPFD, about 45 DLI, to see how it goes. I also notice the return of the red hairs this morning! Unfortunately, there is no smell whatsoever yet, other than plant. Everyone who sees her says how healthy she looks. Anything that was appearing as light tips has filled out with color, and the beautiful blue-green leaves are full and lush. If everything I've read about this strain is true, we should only have a few weeks left with this plant, and the buds look like they're going to be nicely formed if we stay on course. I have so much hope for Violet's harvest!

Thought I over did the rhino skin had dots on the leave bit I thing it's calcium or magnesium related so calmag xtra every nutrient feed now.

Nice sized nugs in only 83 days! Very frosty. Can’t wait to sample it.

📆 Semana 8 La planta continúa avanzando en floración, con los cogollos ganando volumen y mostrando cada vez más estructura. Estos últimos días sin Master Root y Bloom Booster se empieza a notar ligeramente en forma de fade, aunque la evolución general sigue siendo positiva. ⚡ EC de entrada: 1.1 💧 pH: 6.2–6.3 🌡️ Agua: 18–22°C ☀️ Luz: Sol directo 🔥 Nota de cultivo: Los cogollos siguen desarrollándose bien y empiezan a tomar protagonismo, mientras el ligero fade marca el avance natural de la floración. ¡Seguimos creciendo fuerte! 💪

Coming back strong.. flipped the light schedule on 8/6 and changed the formula in the RES for transition. Plucked some big fans off that were blocking lowers. Will be stripping all fans in two days, and a full strip 19 days after. Going in tonight and cutting some lower BS off so it can focus it's energy elsewhere. I should have vegged longer so I can reach that 1/2lb goal. The tent is nowhere near full, so I doubt I'll hit it this time. Will be saving a cut from this pheno to run again in the future. -Flower day 2 she's looking real happy this morning. has been drinking quite a bit and eating as well. was on a 2-2-2 formula, now on a 2-2-3 as of this mornings top off. the main stem is nearly an inch in diameter and growing holy fuck. will be stripping the big fans off tomorrow, and trimming some lower shit off. will have before/after pics F Day6 just noticed my nutrients changed from GHE to something else?? TF? General hydroponics flora series not even listed anymore? Ah well.. RES clean/change today. Prob shoulda stripped more fans the other day, but shit happens and we learn from it right??

She got some purp

5.6oz dry weight wow! First grow & in soil?? This strain is amazing! Anyone that grows this will not be disappointed! She smells and tastes and smokes absolutely amazing! So fruity! She is my firm favourite strain now! Beautiful! Really recommend her so much!

She appears to be doin good. She was 2 weeks later in flowering, so she still got time. I'm guessing another 2 weeks 👍 She is not gaining anymore...

Super proud of these girls they are some strong growing autos! Critical kush is killing it. I'm hoping they wait 4-5 weeks before flowering but not my call. Gave them about a quarter cup of veg nutes they havnt seemed to respond negatively

Week 3 of flower has brought some frost along with it. It has also seen the stretching slow right down so she should really go into bud production mode now. I top dressed with some of my high N amendment mix and my flower mix at a 50/50 ratio as she was looking a little pale so I figured a little more N was needed to keep her happy. Plus the flowering mix to side in bud production. I have upped waterings to 17-20 gallons every 2-3 days and she seems to be enjoying a little extra water. I have been spraying her with OMRI fungicides and I haven’t seen any powdery mildew this week 😎 Onward! 😎🍿🍻🌱

🌸 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! 🌱💚

So I have spider mites. I screwed up so much i think this is going 15 weeks. Lost coast to the rescue! time to finish these buggers off

Its a chillig week, i think she grow very well. Loved how big she turn. Soon its time for flower 👀

This plants have developed beautiful branches that will develop awesome fat nuggets for sure! Really nice strain to grow, would be awesome to apply lst some time on this strain, I have applied a selective defoliation on them, let's see how this ladies keep developing, I start to count the days of flower on April 10th!

Our friends at Zamnesia are frenetically active in the search for innovation for their growers and here we have a strain that brings us a citrus that reminds us so much of my homeland Italy but also of the one that is hosting me Spain both great growers of mandarins and therefore Tangerine Dream. If you only look at them a week ago it seems unbelievable, but when the plants start, they go. In this diary you will find the plant that we will let grow straight, applying only a few techniques that do not involve cutting to preserve its characteristics of speed. After taking the first fertilizers the plant is really doing very very well at a great pace and we expect great things the internodes are going up very well and we are practically almost in pre-flowering. The other one you can find in the next diary worked with Topping / Main Lining / Main Folding. The comparison is the salt of the experience. We have started the Plagron fertilization program, we are in 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhiza Mix (4gr in the mix, 1 gr under the small fiber pot). We are administering // 1 ml/l of Power Roots - 1 ml/l of Pure Zym - 1 ml/l of Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l of Alga Grow I have doubts about the compatibility of Pure Zym with mycorrhizae. If in doubt, ask the experts, don't mix too much at random. https://plagron.com/en Doubts about Pure Zym / Mycorrhizae compatibility have been dispelled, they can go well together according to Plagron experts. If someone tells you that enzymes eat mycorrhizae, which in principle may seem possible, explain to them that it is not true. https://www.royalqueenseeds.it/growing/452-easy-roots-mix-di-micorrhize.html Taste this strain a little bit, it's a cross of legendary strains ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10966-zamnesia-seeds-tangerine-dream.html Short Description Zamnesia // When legendary genetics are crossed, something exceptional can only be born. Tangerine Dream is the result of crossing classic strains. With citrus and sweet aromas and flavors, vigorous growth and euphoric and stimulating effects, Tangerine Dream by Zamnesia Seeds has it all. But don't take our word for it: order your seeds now and discover it for yourself. You can find the whole world of growing on Zamnesia and much more, take a tour of the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. The new strains are exceptional and the old ones are no less... p.s. for now zero Hermaphrodites, growers can you say the same? ---- // www.zamnesia.com

Yellowing on plant seems to have stopped after the increase in mg on last feed. Will continue to feed at a higher vol and fingers crossed will recover enough Happy for any advice :)

Common Doom

hey, I hope everything goes well, here the flowering is churning out beautiful colors, the size of the buds have increased significantly and the scents are quite fruity, the desire to harvest everything and taste these resinous delights is great but the plant must mature for three or four more weeks, have fun and stay tuned, best wishes from ffcoppola. 💪
