Flush week.. the smell is very strong 💪

Been battling caterpillars & powdery mildew , gave them both a spray over night with some Lost Coast Therapy for the mildew & I will be spraying in another day or two with Monterey BT for the caterpillars, a lot of the mildew disappeared, about two more applications it should be totally gone. This will literally be my last major outside grow

Week 3 flower with the 40L pots

December 20, Day 106 This week is a big challenge week. Nutrients are changing. Strawberry Gorilla: Day 5 Drying Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is nearly ready for flush. I added plain water to the reservoir today. I want to start clearing out the soil of all of its nutrients. This is living soil, but ice been spending the last 3 months adding bottled nutrients. I'll most likely keep plain water for the week and then I'll use Flawless Finish. For now it's just plain water. Her buds are really starting to look great. The pistils are starting to shrivel up and the aroma is getting super strong. She's still shedding leaves. None today, but I haven't really inspected her much. Not much to inspect to be honest. She looks great and is just packing on weight now. Number 2 is being moved to Overdrive today. Big Bud has been removed. Overdrive will be used for the next two weeks. Then flush. Her colas are huge and dense. There's a couple tops that look to be well over a foot long. However, those tops are too close to the light. So I'm sure they will foxtail on me. As long as the rest of the plant doesn't foxtail, I'll be very happy. It really doesn't look like I'll see any foxtails, but you never know. She got a full top feed with Overdrive and Recharge. Reservoir refill as well. It was indeed empty this morning. She is still a super thirsty girl. I'm still unsure about defoliating at the end of flower. I've been getting a lot of "don't do that's". I'll keep the question open until it's time for me to defoliate if I do at all. Maybe I'll defoliate just a couple days before harvest. I'm definitely taking all the fan leaves off before harvest. There are hundreds of them. That's my concern without defoliation. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 46.4% VPD: 1.43 kPa December 21, 2023 Absolutely nothing going on today. Strawberry Gorilla: Day 6 Drying Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is looking great! She's definitely ready for flushing. I'll start the Flawless Finish in the next watering. I just have to wait for the reservoir to dry out and the soil to dry out some. Number 2 is her beastly self as ever. Nothing really to report today. Great cola production, smell is getting stronger and her water intake is as strong as ever. She hasn't touched the reservoir yet. It seems like an every other watering, the reservoir is completely left alone. She's already down to 22% moisture level. It's crazy how thirsty she is. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.6° RH: 45.6% VPD: 1.45 kPa December 22, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 7 Drying I didn't snap test today. She is very close to done drying. Maybe a couple more days. Maybe a little less. Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 looks like she's almost ready to go. Flushing has commenced. I removed the wick system and emptied the reservoir. Now it's top feed Flawless Finish for the next week or two. I got some trichome pics with my new microscope. My photography sucks, so the majority are blurry. I'll post the good ones. Number 2 needed a top feed today. The reservoir is just under half full now. Around 1.5 gallons every other day. It feels more like a gallon a day. She's still super thirsty. The buds are getting pretty dense and heavy now. A couple branches are starting to get weighed down. One of them will absolutely need support. The others should be fine. At this point in the grow, it's really a matter of watering and clearing out the dead leaves. Not much else to do except stare in awe of the masterpiece of a tree I have created. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.7° RH: 45.6% VPD: 1.45 kPa December 23, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 8 Drying Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 got a full top feed gallon of Flawless Finish today with some runoff. She has amber trichomes, lots of cloudy and just a few clear. She will be ready in about 7 or so days. She looks great! More weight gain. Especially in the lower buds of the canopy. I'd also like to note how vibrant her pistils are. Such a bright orange with the light they look like they are glowing. Number 2 is insanely thirsty. She needed another gallon of water and a full reservoir refill. So she is definitely drinking a gallon of water now. There was a bit of runoff, but not much. Today she was at 20% moisture content. I normally wait for 15% to 18% but today, I really wanted some runoff. The goal is to get both the wick system active and the soil to reset itself with more moisture. That should last a couple days. Other than that, her colas are insanely large now. They are dense and fat. Although, the tallest cola absolutely has light burn. The very top is white and fluffy. Definitely bleached. Now I know what that looks like. However, the rest of the cola looks fantastic. Just the very top is no good. That's ok though. There's plenty to go around. She still has like 4 weeks left. Including the flush stage. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 43.3% VPD: 1.50 kPa December 24, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Complete Trimmed and jarred at 41 grams. Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is doing well. There was quite a bit of runoff yesterday. Well, more than I thought. I think I need to wait for her to really dry out before another flush. She hasn't started fading yet, but I expect it to start in the next week or so. She's still packing on weight from what I can tell. Not much, but the lower branches are starting to lean a tiny bit. I can assume a bit more while she finishes up. Number 2 looks fantastic. Her colas are getting fatter everyday. Also, I'm not seeing any swelling yet. Just growth. She will be needing a top watering tomorrow. The bottom feed system is working, but not as well as I'd like. Other than that. Not much going on today. Just trimming Strawberry Gorilla 1. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.5° RH: 45.8% VPD: 1.44 kPa December 25, 2023 Strawberry Gorilla: Day 1 Curing Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 got a full gallon top flush. Not much runoff as I expected. I'll wait a good 3 to 4 days before I flush again. She doesn't seem to be ready for the fade yet, but her leaves are starting to lighten up a bit in some places. I expect her to start fading in a few days. She has a good week left so there should be some really pretty colors before the end. Also, her buds are definitely getting heavier. I have a couple more branches that are starting to sag a bit from the weight. Number 2 got a full top feed today. No reservoir though. That's more than half full. Her colas are getting huge. Every single one is super dense and identically shaped. They are all around the same size as well with the exception of a few larger ones in the back. The largest will definitely suffer light burn for the rest of the grow. However, it's still getting super fat. I'll just cut the bleached parts off when I harvest. Still a super nice cola. I'm wondering if I should have kept up with the Big Bud for another week. But I believe Overdrive is for the bulking stage and not Big Bud. So maybe I did it right. Who knows. Lol. Well, the plant knows. Anyway, she has a great smell and I couldn't be happier with her progress. The lowest parts of the plant are pretty underdeveloped. Those will most likely just go in the trim. Or I'll grind it up untrimmed and keep the kief. We shall see. Maybe I'll stick it all in a separate jar and smoke that while the rest is curing. 🤔 I also need to mention the one cola who is suffering light burn and crazy bleaching. It's only that one, but it's still pretty bad. A lesson for me as well as what it looks like for future reference. I wonder if that one cola will cause any issues for the rest of the plant. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.3° RH: 49.5% VPD: 1.33 kPa December 26, 2023 I ordered some AC Infinity supplemental lighting. I'm hoping it helps prevent too many popcorn buds. It might be too late for Gorilla Cookies 1, but The Beast has plenty of time left to bulk up and pack on weight. Strawberry Gorilla: Day 2 Curing My hydrometers are all wrong I think. None of them have the same reading, and I have no idea which one is the correct reading. They are actually pretty far apart in the humidity. 10% swings. Almost 20% in one case. It's ridiculous. And they all came from the same packaging. Shame. I just need to guess now. Great. Anyway, I'm working on it. I'll figure out which one is the most accurate and base use that for a basis. And I'll use the reading from the other ones to set a basis for them. Gorilla Cookies: Number 1 is looking good. She's hanging out finishing up. No water needed. Her lower buds are really putting on weight. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention and accidentally bents some branches with my leg. Some buds got popped off and a single branch broke. She doesn't seem to be affected by it, but I'll keep an eye. Honestly, there's nothing I can really do now. She's in the home stretch. She could even be harvested in the next couple days. But I'll hold off for the next week or so, maybe less. Number 2 is the same deal. Looking great, packing on weight and being her beastly self as always. She needs no water today and nothing else. Tomorrow she will be getting a dose of recharge and I think it will be the last dose for her in this run. She has about a week and a half left of bloom before the maturing stage starts I think. I could be overshooting the days by a bit, but always good to be prepared. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.1° RH: 51.3% VPD: 1.29 kPa

Lets go... Morgen nach 7 Wochen und 6 tagen wird das letzte mal entlaubt.

✂️ Harvest complete! 🌿 After weeks of care and attention, the plant has been cut down, dried for 14 days under controlled conditions, and I’ve now officially started the curing process in jars 🌬️💨 The aroma is promising, the buds are dense and sticky… I can’t wait to see (and smell) the final result! 😍 One cycle ends, but the satisfaction it brings is lasting 💚

I really feel like I am learning SO MUCH with this grow, heaps of things I could improve on next time. 😺 Day 28 - I fed her a 420ppm nutrient solution, and as I was watering her a fair bit got on her leaves. I shook it off her but a few drops on her lower fan leaves were stuck. So I grabbed the droplets with my finger and smeared them into the leaf. Big mistake, next day the leaves were all burnt! 😡😲 The upper fan leaves that I didn't touch were fine, the leaf tips were fine also. Day 30 - Plant really looking happy now, growing nicely and stretching up towards the light. The 4th set of fan leaves still 3 pronged (has grown cotyledons, then true leaves with 1, 3, 3 and 3 prongs). The 5th set of fan leaves is now visible as a bud in the center, and I can see that this set has 5 prongs. So was likely the stress that made the first sets of leaves 3 pronged. Day 30 - I really want the plant to be BUSHY to take advantage of this small light and surround it, so I decided to try FIMMING today! The middle bud was at the perfect age for this so took the opportunity, I hope she can handle it. Happy to sacrifice a bit of yield to get more buds closer to the light for a more consistent quality. If you think that yield is more important and I shouldn't do this, here is a fact for you, over the last 5 years I have gone through about 30g of bud with me and one friend, we have some about once a month or two. So yeah I don't care about yield just quality 👌. Day 34 - Female preflower showing! Shit this means she will be into bloom soon, and still so far behind where I wanted her. Researched on the interwebs and found that I could still have a good 2 weeks of fast vegetative growth at this point. I realised my last feed was only 1/3 strength fertilizer. Time to feed her a decent meal, GO STRONG OR GO HOME! I fed her 5L of pH 5.9, ppm = 775 - with 20ml of Canna Rapid combined A&B

Tropicana Cookies purple Auto links sind in die Blüte gekommen. Fat banana, Mitte unten, noch nicht. Die anderen 3 Nachzügler kommen gut hinterher. Es läuft alles nach Plan 😁 bis nächste Woche ✌️

Growing well. It's now so tall I can't raise the light any further so I've had to pull the ever lengthting main branches over using some wire. She's drinking like a fish too. Some of the new leaves are patchy so uppped the nitrogen?!? Could be a mistake. Some leaves are starting to get trichomes, yay! Also pulled lots of the lower leaves as they were practically in darkness.

Get ready for another thrilling update on our magnificent Triton Biscotto Lime in Week 6 of veg. This girl is on fire, and we're taking her journey to new heights. Buckle up and prepare for some green-thumb adventures! This week, we embarked on an important mission: Integrated Pest Management, or IPM for short. Now, before you imagine tiny superhero capes on mites and nematodes, let me explain. We introduced beneficial nematodes into the soil to combat unwanted pests and keep our garden in tip-top shape. These microscopic warriors wage a battle against harmful critters, defending our beloved Triton Biscotto Lime like true heroes. But that's not all! We called in reinforcements in the form of Spical Ulti Mite and Swirskii. These beneficial mites are like our garden's own special forces, launching a full-scale assault on any unwanted pests that dare to enter our domain. It's like a botanical warfare with a twist of camaraderie and a sprinkle of microscopic excitement. Now, picture this: Triton Biscotto Lime, surrounded by her nematode army and mite squad, ready to defend her green kingdom. It's a battle of epic proportions, where our fierce defenders work tirelessly to protect our plant from any unwanted intruders. And hey, who knew mites and nematodes could be such amazing allies in the quest for a thriving garden? In addition to our IPM efforts, we continued to pamper Triton Biscotto Lime with love and care. We ensured she received the optimal lighting she deserves, with a mighty 500 PPFd (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density). It's like giving her a VIP pass to a cosmic light show, fueling her growth and setting the stage for botanical greatness. As we revel in the wonders of IPM and provide Triton Biscotto Lime with the best possible care, we can't help but marvel at the magic unfolding before our eyes. The harmony between our plant and these tiny defenders is like a cosmic dance, showcasing the power of nature's intricate balance. And here's a fun little joke for you: Why did the mites and nematodes form a rock band? Because they knew how to harmonize and strike a chord with their garden audience! In summary, Week 6 of veg has been a week of pest-fighting heroics and cosmic collaborations. Our Triton Biscotto Lime stands strong, backed by her nematode army and mite squad. Together, they create a force to be reckoned with, ensuring a healthy and thriving garden environment. As we continue this green-thumb journey, let's celebrate the power of beneficial allies, the wonders of IPM, and the magic that happens when we join forces with nature. May Triton Biscotto Lime grow stronger with each passing day, and may our garden be a haven of harmony and botanical bliss. Stay tuned for more thrilling updates, my fellow gardeners. Until next time, keep those mites and nematodes rocking and rolling, and may your green thumbs continue to flourish!

On the one hand, Oreoz Mintz, one of the winning horses of the new generation of the Girl Scout Cookies family; on the other, Lemon Tree. This is an epic parental lineage that results in a hybrid with a slight sativa dominance and dazzling qualities, with a short flowering of just 8 weeks and THC levels that can reach up to 22%, causing a very energetic and euphoric effect which is perfect for social events or if you’re looking for top creativity. Triton Biscotto Lime is a feminised strain that’s very easy to grow indoors, although she reaches her maximum potential when grown outdoors bathed by the sun of warm climates like the Mediterranean. She loves light and an aerated substrate, which allows for good oxygenation of the roots and helps the plant absorb the maximum number of nutrients. In return you will get dense and compact marijuana buds in a neon green colour which are sprinkled with amber pistils and covered in a glaze of beautifully crystallised trichomes. As her name suggests, her aroma and flavour are a subtle mix of earthy sweetness with a citrus touch, calling to mind a tasty cookie dessert with a lemon base and some hints of Diesel. A highly addictive flavour that you’ll be happy to taste free of any guilt for wanting to repeat the experience over and over again. So if you’re looking for a feminised marijuana seed that represents the best of the current cannabis scene, with high-calibre properties that contribute to her excellent reputation, then Triton Biscotto Lime has arrived on the market to meet your expectations. Try her now and become hopelessly devoted to her - Friendly reminder all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only -

Over all was an amazing grow, super sticky dense nugs with smell of berries, highly recommended for everyone!!

preflower now. but branches not really growing out. 2 LST 1 NT. NOT REALLY BIG PLANTS FOR ME. PERHAPS NOT OPTIMAL CONDITIONS IN MY YARD.

So.... Cop I started to flush yesterday, she’s really ready not just a few trichomes Amber, they really are popping everywhere. Everything else other than the PSs is ready too, all nice and milky. The aroma of the tent on the whole is just fantastic. The herb from this grow though isn’t going to be the most abundant it truly is gonna be a harvest of fire. Pretty much everything in there is caked up with oils bursting from every gland. I’m still not sure which one is red dragon, maybe Barneys could help🤔 I’m pretty sure now the pictures I’ve landed red dragon are actually Zombie Kush but again I’m not certain. New rule mames on pots straight away. I’ve just put up some pics of the Gorilla Zkittlez from this week so far, flipping heck she’s a sticky one. Got a really heavy sweet cookie smell to her, or that’s what I get, I’m sure we’re all percieving aromas and tastes way differently😂😂 anyway more pictures coming, and end well and truly in sight. Update..... I’ve taken a few test buds from the plants, well all but the PSS. Looking great, all buds nice heavy and firm, the smells coming from them are sweet especially the blue fire and the orange critical, mmmmm can’t wait till after cure.

Put on alot of size, I think they are coming to the end of the stretch now, loads and loads of bud sites and both look so healthy, roll on next week 😀 👌

Lot of leaves taking forever to trim

Transplanted these ladies to there new pots and on to there new home everything looking good on to the next week see y’all then 🌱😬✌️🏻

Bonjour les amis, Je viens tout juste de faire mes photos et vidéos, ça va faire 1 semaines que j'ai commencé à leur mettre de l'engrais (pro organic) mais apparemment mes fifilles ne le supporte pas elles commencent à me faire des taches (marron jaune). Du coup je les est mis en rinçage et après je leur mettrais du purin d'orties fait maison. J'espère vraiment qu'elles vont se remettre d'à plomb, je serai vraiment triste 😥 si je les perds. Je vous dit à plus tard les amis, Bonne journée à tous 🙂👍👍👍

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 11 💙 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno A 🌸 The Frost Is Coming... And She's Looking Incredible Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter inside Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 And honestly... I'm not even sure where to start this week. Because... LOOK AT HER. 😂💙🌸 After everything we've done over the previous weeks, we're finally reaching that beautiful stage where the plants don't need us to constantly interfere. They just need us to watch. And what we're watching right now? Absolutely amazing. The bud formation is developing beautifully. The frost levels across the tent are going absolutely crazy. The structure we built is doing exactly what we wanted. The second SCROG is supporting the flowering branches. The airflow is working beautifully. The irrigation and drainage systems are running flawlessly. And now we've introduced a second LumiFlora under-canopy light to help illuminate the lower portions of this enormous flowering structure. So yes... there was a little bit of tinkering this week. 😂 But mostly? We stood there staring at the plants. Because sometimes... that's the best job in the grow room. 🌿 PHENO A – THE WORK IS NOW SPEAKING FOR ITSELF Blue Waffle F1 Pheno A is still sitting at approximately 145 cm. And at this point, her height almost isn't the interesting part anymore. Because now we're watching what all that structure is turning into. Weeks of vegetation. Training. SCROG. Stretch management. Defoliation. Canopy organization. A second SCROG. Additional airflow. Raised lighting. And now... flowers. Lots of them. And the development we're seeing is making me extremely happy. The plant has moved from: "How are we going to control all of this?" to: "Okay... now let's see what all of this becomes." 😂💙 That's a very good transition. 🌸 BUD FORMATION – OUT OF THIS WORLD This week, the thing that really catches my eye is the bud formation. The flowering sites are developing beautifully throughout the plant. And the amount of frost we're seeing now? Oh my God. 😂 The whole tent is starting to look like somebody has been throwing powdered sugar around in there. The flowers are getting increasingly covered in trichomes, and the close-up photographs are really starting to show what these girls are capable of. This is the stage where all those weeks of structural work become incredibly rewarding. We spent so much time talking about branches. Canopy. Spacing. Stretch. Support. Light penetration. Airflow. And now? The flowers are taking over the conversation. Exactly as we hoped. 🌿 THE DEFOILATION – NOW WE SEE WHY WE DID IT One of the things I really appreciate about this stage is being able to look back at the previous weeks. When we performed the major defoliation, the plants looked dramatically different. We removed a significant amount of foliage. And at the time, the goal wasn't to make the plants look pretty. It was to make the flowering structure more functional. We wanted better visibility. Better airflow. Less unnecessary congestion. More access to the flowering sites. And a canopy that would be easier to manage as the flowers developed. Now? We're seeing the result. The plant has recovered beautifully. The remaining foliage is working. The flowering sites are clearly visible. The branches are supported. And the flowers are developing exactly where we wanted them. This is one of my favorite parts of cultivation. You make a decision weeks earlier... then you wait. And eventually the plant gives you the answer. And right now? I'm very happy with the answer. 💡 TWO LUMIFLORA LIGHTS – LET'S LIGHT UP THE LOWER CANOPY And this week we decided to take the under-canopy experiment one step further. We brought a second LumiFlora into the game. The first 150W full-spectrum LumiFlora was already helping us provide supplemental light underneath the canopy. But looking at the size and density of these plants... it simply felt like we could do more. The lower portions of the plants are naturally receiving less direct light from the main fixtures above. And with this much vertical structure, that becomes even more noticeable. So instead of trying to solve everything by removing more foliage, we're exploring another option: Give the lower canopy more light. And now we have two LumiFlora fixtures working underneath the plants. Both are 150W full-spectrum fixtures, with additional emphasis toward the red portion of the spectrum. The idea is simple: The main LEDs handle the upper canopy. The LumiFlora fixtures supplement the lower canopy. And the plant gets a more complete lighting environment from top to bottom. We're not trying to replace the main lights. We're complementing them. And now... we watch. 🌸 Because that's the whole point of the experiment. We introduce something. We observe. We document. And then we let the plants tell us what they think. 💡 THE UNDER-CANOPY LIGHTING DESIGN And because we're apparently incapable of doing anything in a boring way... 😂 we decided not to simply place the two LED bars side by side. The LumiFlora bars are quite long, approximately 1.20 metres each, with a central section of around one metre. So instead of following the traditional side-by-side arrangement, we played around with the positioning. We've arranged them diagonally across the lower portion of the tent, running from corner to corner. And honestly? I really like the way it looks. It gives the lower canopy a much more interesting distribution of supplemental light rather than concentrating everything into one central area. And visually... it looks pretty damn cool too. 😂💡🌸 Sometimes the functional solution can also look beautiful. 🌿 LIGHT FROM ABOVE. LIGHT FROM BELOW. This is becoming one of the most interesting parts of the Blue Tent experiment. We're now looking at the plant as a three-dimensional structure. The main fixtures are providing the primary lighting from above. But the plant isn't flat. It has height. Branches. Layers. Lower flowering sites. Interior flowering sites. And all those areas don't necessarily receive the same amount of light from above. So we're experimenting with supplemental lighting underneath. The goal isn't to make some huge claim about what the lights will accomplish. The goal is to see. Will the lower flowering sites respond? Will the additional light help us maintain development deeper into the canopy? Will we see differences as flowering progresses? That's what makes this fun. We don't need to know the answer before we run the experiment. We're here to find out. 🌸 FROST EVERYWHERE And I have to say this again... THE FROST. 😂💙 Oh my God. The whole tent is getting ridiculously frosty. The close-up photographs are becoming almost ridiculous. The sugar is showing up everywhere. The flowers. The sugar leaves. The surrounding structures. Everything is starting to sparkle. And this is one of those moments where you can finally see the genetics expressing themselves visually. We're not talking about potential anymore. We're looking at actual flowers developing in front of us. And Blue Waffle F1 Pheno A is putting on quite a show. 🌿 THE SECOND SCROG IS DOING ITS JOB The second SCROG continues to be one of those decisions I'm extremely happy we made. When we installed it, the plants were already getting too tall. The original SCROG had done its job beautifully during the vegetative phase. But with all the stretch that followed, we needed another layer of support. Now we're seeing why. The flowering branches are developing more weight. The structure is substantial. And the second net is helping keep everything organized and supported. We're not constantly moving branches anymore. We're not trying to reshape the plant. We're simply allowing the support structure to do its job. And that's exactly how I want it. The plant built the branches. We built the support. Now the flowers build the weight. Everyone has a job. 😂💙 🌬️ AIRFLOW – STILL SPOTLESS The airflow situation is also working beautifully. The upper airflow continues circulating through the canopy. The additional lower fan keeps air moving underneath. The canopy was opened through the previous defoliation. And now the lower portion of the tent also has the supplemental lighting system. So we've got light and air working together throughout the structure. That's important. Adding more equipment underneath the canopy only makes sense if we're still maintaining good environmental movement down there. And right now? I'm extremely happy with how everything is working. No stagnant feeling. No obvious problem areas. Just good continuous circulation through the room. 🌬️ THE EXTRACTION SYSTEM – STILL GIVING US SPACE Moving the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent a few weeks ago was another one of those decisions that keeps paying dividends. It gave us valuable vertical space. That allowed us to raise the main LEDs. That reduced the pressure we had on the tallest tops. And now we're able to maintain this enormous flowering structure without constantly fighting the ceiling. Sometimes the biggest improvements aren't made to the plant. They're made to the room around the plant. And this was definitely one of those changes. 💧 IRRIGATION – ABSOLUTELY SPOTLESS And I have to give a little love to the irrigation system this week. Because honestly... I have absolutely nothing to complain about. 😂💙 It's working flawlessly. The plants are receiving their water consistently. The system is keeping up with their demand. And the drainage system is performing just as well. No drama. No problems. No complaints. Just doing its job. And when you have a flowering room this large and this thirsty, that consistency is incredibly important. The plants can concentrate on growing. We can concentrate on observing. And the irrigation system can quietly do its job in the background. That's exactly how I like it. 💧🌿 ⚗️ THE EC MYSTERY Now... there is one little thing that caught my attention this week. And I honestly don't have a definitive explanation for it. 😂 We didn't intentionally change the reservoir recipe. The nutrient mix remained the same. We're still using: 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 And yet... the EC came out slightly lower this time. Current recorded EC: 2.24 mS/cm. Last week we were around 2.49 mS/cm. Why? Honestly... I don't know. 😂 My first thought is that the rainwater may simply have been a little softer this time. But that's only a possibility. I don't want to invent an explanation when I don't actually know. The important thing is that the plants are looking fantastic. They're healthy. They're developing beautifully. The foliage looks good. The flowers are progressing. So for now? We're simply recording the observation. No panic. No unnecessary correction. Just: "Interesting." 😂 And we continue watching. 🌱 SOMETIMES THE PLANTS MATTER MORE THAN THE NUMBER This is another reason I like documenting all the environmental data. Numbers are incredibly useful. But they're only one part of the story. You can have a number that looks slightly different from last week and still have plants that are absolutely thriving. And that's exactly what we're seeing here. The EC is a little lower. The plants? Beautiful. The flowers? Amazing. The frost? Absolutely insane. The irrigation? Perfect. The drainage? Perfect. So we're not going to chase the number simply because it changed. We're going to observe the entire system. And right now... the system looks fantastic. 🌸 CURRENT GROW CONDITIONS 🌸 Flowering: Week 11 📏 Height: approximately 145 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ☀️ Day temperature: 28°C 🌙 Night temperature: 27°C 💧 Relative humidity: 63% ⚗️ pH: 6.01 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.24 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 24.9°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 24°C 🌬️ CO₂: approximately 666 ppm 💦 Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h ?

Earlier, the main story was: Stretch. Height. Canopy management. Defoliation. LED clearance. Support. Airflow. Now? The flowers are the story. And they're telling a beautiful one. The branches are loaded with developing flowers. The structure is holding beautifully. The frost is increasing. And the whole room has that feeling of: "Something special is happening here." 😂💙🌸 That's the feeling I love most. Not knowing exactly how the final result will look. But seeing enough clues to know that we're heading somewhere very interesting. 🔬 THE F1 UNIFORMITY CONTINUES TO AMAZE ME And once again, I have to mention something that keeps catching my attention. These F1 genetics are looking incredibly uniform. The four girls are sharing the same room. Same environmental conditions. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same lighting philosophy. Same structural work. And they're responding with an almost uncanny similarity. There are individual differences, of course. That's exactly why we're keeping separate diaries. But when I look across the room now... it's almost like looking at different expressions of the same idea. And honestly? That's fascinating. Maybe the biggest differences will reveal themselves later. Maybe they'll become more obvious as the flowers mature. Maybe the similarities will continue all the way to harvest. That's what we're here to discover. 🌸 THE QUIET PART OF THE GROW IS GETTING LOUD This is funny because technically... we're doing less. But visually? The plants are becoming more impressive every week. 😂 We're not training. We're not performing major defoliation. We're not rearranging the room. We're not fighting stretch. We're not solving emergencies. We're simply maintaining the environment. And yet... the flowers are getting bigger. The frost is increasing. The structure is becoming more impressive. And every photograph seems to show more development than the previous one. This is the reward for all the work that came before. 🌿 FROM BUILDING THE PLANT TO WATCHING THE PLANT FINISH We spent weeks building this plant. Now we're watching it finish. The vegetative period created the framework. The SCROG organized it. The stretch tested it. The defoliation opened it. The second SCROG supported it. The raised LEDs gave it room. The additional airflow keeps it breathing. The irrigation keeps it supplied. The nutrition keeps it moving. And now the LumiFlora lights are helping us explore the lower canopy. At this point... there's very little I want to change. I want to let the plant show us what all of that work was worth. 🌸 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW The questions are becoming much more exciting. How much larger will these flowers become? How much more frost will develop? How will the lower canopy respond to the two LumiFlora fixtures? Will the additional supplemental light make a visible difference as flowering progresses? How much weight will the second SCROG eventually need to support? And perhaps the biggest question of all... what are these beautiful F1 girls going to look like when they finally reach maturity? I have absolutely no idea. And I love that. 😂💙 🙏 FINAL THOUGHTS – THIS IS WHY WE GROW If I had to describe this week in one sentence, it would probably be: "We didn't do much... and everything looks amazing." 😂💙 And honestly? I'll take that. The plants are healthy. The bud formation is incredible. The frost levels are getting ridiculous. The second SCROG is working beautifully. The airflow is performing exactly as planned. The irrigation is spotless. The drainage is spotless. The main lighting is doing its job. And now we've added a second LumiFlora to complement the first and give the lower canopy even more supplemental light. We even changed the positioning of those long LED bars into a more interesting corner-to-corner arrangement. And I have to say... I really like it. It looks good. It distributes the light in a way that makes sense for this huge lower canopy. And it gives us another part of the experiment to watch. As for the slightly lower EC? We don't know exactly why. Maybe the rainwater was softer. Maybe there was another small variable. Maybe it's simply one of those little differences that happen in a real system. The important thing is that the plants are showing us no reason to panic. So we're not going to chase numbers. We're going to observe. And right now... what we're observing is absolutely beautiful. Blue Waffle F1 Pheno A is standing there at approximately 145 cm, covered in flowers and increasingly covered in frost. The structure is strong. The canopy is organized. The support is ready. The lower lighting is installed. The irrigation is flawless. The drainage is flawless. And the whole room is beginning to look like something very special. 💙🌸🌿 We've done the hard work. Now we get to enjoy the show. Let's see what the next few weeks bring. Because if the frost continues at this rate... Oh boy. 😂💙 We're going to have some very interesting photographs coming. Until next week... Keep watching. Keep observing. Keep the environment stable. And let these beautiful girls do what they do best. Grow. Flower. Frost up. And shine. 💙🌸🌿 🙏 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 Blue Waffle F1 genetics phenotype by phenotype. Thank you to PLAGRON for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these girls through this incredible flowering journey. A massive thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic irrigation and drainage system that continues working absolutely flawlessly and keeping these thirsty girls supplied. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, the curved scissors and the clip fans that have all become such important parts of this project. And a huge thank you to LumiFlora for providing the 150W full-spectrum under-canopy lighting that we're now using in pairs to explore supplemental lighting throughout the lower canopy. I'm really excited to see what this experiment brings. And of course... thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document all of this. The successes. The mistakes. The unexpected moments. The experiments. The lessons. And now... the frost. 😂💙🌸 Most importantly, thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. We're getting deeper into flowering now. The plants are looking incredible. The frost is everywhere. The flowers are stacking beautifully. The systems are working. And we're finally at the stage where we can sit back a little and enjoy the work we've spent so many weeks building. Four girls. One room. Same environment. Incredible F1 uniformity. Two LumiFlora under-canopy lights. One very frosty future. Let's see what comes next. 💙🌸🌿 Until next week... More frost. More flowers. More observation. And hopefully... even more reasons to stand in front of the tent and say: "Oh my God..." 😂💙 Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙
