💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 11 💙 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B 🌸 Same Room. Same Conditions. Another Beautiful Expression. Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter inside Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 And once again... I'm looking at these girls and thinking: How can four plants look this similar? 😂💙 If you've been following Project Blue Tent, you'll know that we're documenting four individual plants from seed to harvest, each with her own dedicated diary. All four share the same tent. The same lighting. The same irrigation. The same reservoir. The same nutrition. The same environmental conditions. The same cultivation philosophy. And yet... each one gets her own chapter. Today it's time to give the spotlight to Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B. And honestly? She's looking absolutely beautiful. 🌿 PHENO B – LET HER SHINE Pheno B has reached approximately 145 cm and has developed a fantastic flowering structure. At this stage, there isn't really a lot I want to change. And that's actually a good thing. The big work has already been done. The long vegetative period gave us the structure. The topping and training shaped the plant. The first SCROG organized the canopy. The aggressive flowering stretch forced us to rethink the vertical space. The major defoliation opened the plant. The second SCROG gave the flowering branches additional support. The ventilation system was moved outside the tent. The LEDs were raised. The airflow was improved. And now... we're watching all of those decisions come together. The plant is doing exactly what we wanted her to do. Grow. Flower. Develop. And increasingly... FROST. 😂💙🌸 🌸 THE FROST IS GETTING SERIOUS I have to say this because the photographs really don't need much explanation. The frost levels are beautiful. The flowers are becoming increasingly covered in trichomes, and every week the close-up photographs seem to reveal more. This is the part of the grow where you start looking at the plants differently. Earlier, we were looking at structure. Now we're looking at flowers. And those flowers are beginning to tell us their own story. The density. The development. The resin production. The structure. The way the flowers are forming along the branches. Everything is becoming much more interesting. And Pheno B is absolutely shining. 💙🌸 🌿 THE TOPPING AND STRUCTURE – LOOK AT THAT OPENING Another thing I'm really happy with this week is the structure created by the topping and training. When you look closely at Pheno B, you can really see how the plant opened up. The main structure divided beautifully. The branches spread through the available space. And the flowering sites are now positioned throughout that structure rather than all trying to occupy the exact same vertical point. This is one of those things that can be difficult to appreciate when you're doing the training weeks earlier. At the time, you're making cuts. Moving branches. Supporting growth. Trying to imagine what the plant will eventually become. Then several weeks later... you look at the flowering plant and suddenly understand why you did it. And that's exactly what I'm seeing now. The structure is there. The opening is there. The flowering sites are there. And the plant is filling that framework beautifully. 🕸️ THE X-CROSS – KEEPING THE STRUCTURE WORKING The support system is also doing exactly what we wanted. The second SCROG remains in place, helping organize and support the upper flowering structure. And with the way we've arranged the support through the canopy, we've created that X-cross structure that helps distribute and organize the flowering branches. The idea isn't to keep forcing the plant into a new shape. That stage is behind us. Now the structure simply needs to support what the plant has already built. And looking at Pheno B... I'd say it's doing a damn good job. 😂💙 The branches are supported. The flowers have room. The canopy is organized. And we can actually see through the plant. That's exactly where I want to be at this stage. 💡 UNDER-CANOPY LIGHTING – NOW PART OF THE SYSTEM The LumiFlora under-canopy lighting is also now fully integrated into the room. We're using the 150W full-spectrum LumiFlora fixtures underneath the canopy to provide supplemental light to the lower flowering structure. The main LEDs continue doing the primary work from above. The LumiFlora units are simply giving the lower portions of these very tall plants another source of light. And with plants reaching approximately 145 cm, this makes a lot of sense to me. The canopy is no longer a flat surface. It's a three-dimensional structure. There are upper flowers. Middle flowers. Lower flowers. Interior branches. And naturally, not all of those areas receive the same amount of light from above. So instead of constantly removing more foliage to chase light penetration... we're experimenting with bringing light into the lower part of the plant. And now? We watch. That's the fun part. 😂💡🌸 🌿 TWO LIGHT SOURCES. ONE VERY LARGE CANOPY. The interesting thing about this setup is that we're effectively looking at the plant from both directions. The main fixtures illuminate from above. The LumiFlora fixtures supplement from below. And the plant sits right between those two lighting environments. I'm particularly interested in seeing how the lower flowering sites continue developing as we move deeper into flowering. We're not making any promises about what the additional lighting will achieve. We're documenting it. We're watching. We're comparing. And we're letting the plants tell us what happens. That's the whole point of Project Blue Tent. 🔬 SAME ROOM – SAME CONDITIONS – DIFFERENT DIARY And this brings me to something I've been thinking about a lot during this project. People often use the word "genetics" when talking about individual plants. And obviously, genetics are involved in every plant. But I personally like using the word: "Cultivar." Why? Because we're looking at cultivated plant varieties. We're not simply talking about an abstract collection of genes. We're talking about plants that have been selected, developed and cultivated as a particular variety. And here we're working with Blue Waffle F1 cultivars. So throughout these diaries, when I talk about Pheno A, Pheno B and the other girls as individual cultivars, that's what I'm referring to. And honestly... the uniformity we're seeing makes this distinction particularly interesting. Because look at them. 😂💙 Same environment. Same reservoir. Same feeding. Same irrigation. Same lighting. Same training philosophy. And yet we're getting remarkably similar expressions. That's one of the things that makes these F1 plants so fascinating to observe. And if you already know all of this... beautiful. You know. 😂 If you didn't... hopefully you learned something today. And that's never a bad thing. I love learning. So I don't think there's ever too much useful information. 🌸 F1 UNIFORMITY – THEY REALLY DO LOOK LIKE SISTERS This is probably one of the most impressive things about this whole project. The plants are beginning to look almost like copies of one another. Different individual plants. Different diaries. But under the same conditions... the similarities are incredible. Similar height. Similar flowering structure. Similar development. Similar response to the training. Similar response to the defoliation. And now... similar frost. 😂💙🌸 Of course, we're still documenting them individually because the subtle differences are exactly what become interesting over time. Maybe those differences will become more obvious as flowering progresses. Maybe one will develop a slightly different structure. Maybe one will finish earlier. Maybe one will produce a different flower shape. Maybe the differences will become much more obvious closer to harvest. Or maybe... they'll continue looking like sisters all the way to the end. That's what we're here to discover. 🌬️ AIRFLOW – THE SYSTEM IS WORKING The airflow arrangement remains unchanged. We've got movement above and below the canopy, keeping the air circulating throughout this large flowering structure. And that's particularly important now that the canopy is so developed. The previous defoliation opened the plant. The additional airflow helps take advantage of that space. The lower portion of the plant isn't being ignored. And the under-canopy lighting is working inside that same environment. Everything has a role. Light. Air. Structure. Irrigation. Nutrition. And observation. Nothing needs to be dramatic. It simply needs to work. 💧 THEY'RE DRINKING BEAUTIFULLY Another thing I'm very happy with is how these girls are drinking. They're consuming well. The irrigation is keeping up. And the plants are showing us that they're comfortable with the current setup. The reservoir remains shared. The feeding remains shared. The irrigation remains shared. And yet Pheno B continues developing beautifully. This is exactly why having a consistent system is so valuable for this experiment. When all four plants receive the same inputs, we get a much more interesting opportunity to observe how the individual cultivars respond. ⚗️ SAME RESERVOIR – SAME NUTRITION The nutrition remains unchanged. We're continuing with: 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 adjustment as required No need to start changing things simply because another week has arrived. The plants are happy. They're drinking. They're flowering. They're producing frost. So we continue. Consistency is part of the experiment too. And honestly... when the plants look this good, I'm not interested in fixing something that isn't broken. 😂💙 🌸 THE PREVIOUS DEFOILATION IS NOW A DISTANT MEMORY It's also interesting to look at Pheno B now and remember what she looked like immediately after the major defoliation. At the time, there was a dramatic difference. A lot of foliage had been removed. The structure became much more open. And then we had to wait. That's the difficult part. You make the decision. You do the work. And then... you leave the plant alone. Now we're seeing the result. The plant has continued growing. The flowers have developed. The structure has filled out. And the flowering sites are clearly visible. The plant didn't need us to keep interfering. She simply needed time. 🌿 SOMETIMES DOING NOTHING IS DOING SOMETHING This is probably one of the biggest lessons from this stage of Project Blue Tent. There's a temptation in cultivation to constantly do something. Adjust something. Move something. Change something. Feed something. Cut something. Measure something. 😂 But sometimes... the plants don't need another intervention. They need stability. They need time. They need the environment to remain consistent. And they need us to have enough discipline to leave them alone. That's where we are now. The structure is built. The support is installed. The lighting is established. The airflow is working. The irrigation is working. The nutrition is stable. So... let her do her thing. 🌸 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 ? Pot size: 8 L NUTRIENT RECIPE 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 PLAGRON pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L PLAGRON pH Minus — 0.03 ml/L 💡 UNDER-CANOPY LIGHTING 2 × LumiFlora 150W Full Spectrum 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE TAKING OVER This is where the story becomes really exciting. For weeks, we were talking about the plant. Now we're talking about the flowers. And Pheno B is giving us plenty to talk about. The flowering sites are developing beautifully throughout the structure. The branches are carrying them well. The frost is becoming increasingly obvious. And the entire plant has that unmistakable look of a flowering plant entering a very interesting stage. The close-up photographs really show it. The trichomes are becoming more visible. The flowers are becoming more defined. And the whole plant is starting to sparkle. 💙🌸 🔭 WHAT I'M WATCHING NOW At this point, my list is actually pretty simple. I'm watching the flowers. I'm watching the frost. I'm watching the lower canopy under the LumiFlora lighting. I'm watching the structure. I'm watching how the second SCROG continues supporting the branches. I'm watching how much the plants continue to drink. And I'm watching the four cultivars develop under exactly the same conditions. That's it. No major intervention. No unnecessary changes. Just observation. Because right now... the plants are doing exactly what we want. 🌿 WHAT WILL THE FUTURE BRING? And this is the part where I honestly don't know. We have a beautiful flowering structure. We have impressive uniformity. We have increasing frost. We have healthy development. We have stable environmental conditions. And we have four incredibly interesting F1 cultivars sharing the same environment. But what happens next? That's the exciting part. Will the flowers continue stacking at this rate? Will the frost become even heavier? Will the subtle differences between the cultivars become more obvious? Will the lower flowering sites respond noticeably to the supplemental lighting? And what will Pheno B look like when she reaches maturity? I have no idea. 😂💙 And I absolutely love that. Because if we already knew the ending... what would be the fun of documenting the journey? 💙 FINAL THOUGHTS – SAME ROOM, BEAUTIFUL RESULT So... Week 11. Same tent. Same room. Same reservoir. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same lighting from above. Same environmental conditions. And yet... another beautiful individual story. Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B is looking fantastic. She's approximately 145 cm tall. Her structure is beautifully opened from the topping and training. The flowering branches are supported by the second SCROG. The canopy is receiving airflow from above and below. The LumiFlora under-canopy lighting is now helping illuminate the lower flowering structure. She's drinking beautifully. She's flowering beautifully. And the frost... Oh my God. 😂💙🌸 The frost is becoming ridiculous. And that's exactly the kind of problem I like having. 😂 The most interesting part for me, though, is seeing how similar these F1 cultivars are behaving. Four individual plants. One controlled environment. And remarkably consistent results. That doesn't mean every plant will finish identically. It doesn't mean there aren't individual differences. That's exactly why we're documenting them separately. But right now... they're giving us a fascinating look at just how uniform these plants can be under consistent conditions. And that's something I want to keep watching. We're not going to force the story. We're not going to chase numbers. We're not going to keep changing things just so we have something to write about. We're going to let the plants write the next chapter. And Pheno B? She's writing a beautiful one. 💙🌸🌿 The structure is ready. The support is ready. The lighting is ready. The airflow is ready. The irrigation is ready. The nutrition is ready. Now... we wait. We watch. We learn. And we enjoy the show. Let's see what the future has waiting for this beautiful girl. Because if she keeps going like this... I have a feeling we're going to have some very special flowers to photograph. 😂💙🌸 🙏 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 cultivars individually. Thank you to PLAGRON for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these girls throughout this vigorous flowering cycle. A massive thank you to Mars Hydro for the irrigation and drainage system that continues keeping this entire ecosystem supplied and running beautifully. Thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, the curved scissors and the clip fans that have become such important parts of this project. And a huge thank you to LumiFlora for the 150W full-spectrum under-canopy lighting that we're now using to explore supplemental lighting throughout this very large flowering structure. And of course... thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document every part of this journey. The good. The unexpected. The experiments. The mistakes. The lessons. And now... the frost. 😂💙🌸 Most importantly, thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. Four individual cultivars. One room. One environment. One reservoir. One cultivation philosophy. And four girls showing us just how beautifully consistent these F1 plants can be. But we're not at the finish line yet. There's still a lot of flower development ahead. There's still a lot of frost to watch. There's still a lot to learn. And Pheno B has plenty more story left to tell. Until next week... Same room. Same conditions. Same beautiful girl. More flowers. More frost. More observation. And hopefully... even more reasons to smile when we open that tent. 💙🌸🌿 Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

this is the end guys, I last watered with much colder water,I could have harvested one in as little as a week, but I waited for the others to come to an end.very stinky tribe.don't grow it without a carbon filter, unfortunately it didn't completely catch the odors for me either.and there is a new carbon filter in both tents.so pay close attention.!they didn't require a lot of nutrients at all, I followed what I could learn about feeding here, water water feed water water ..the plants produced flowers of much the same size, one of which is a little different.I’m going to harvest it all tomorrow, we’ll wait for it to dry out, and then I’ll report on its weight and impact. the plants vegetated for 4 weeks anyway and flowered for 8 weeks. thank you for everything everyone did throughout my work and lectures. <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">💤</font></font>

again ... i never realized that this much effort went into starting baby girls ... much respect for the ladies. considering she almost died from a broken taproot she is doing really well. the roots are not showing at the bottom of the pot yet, but she seems to have adopted without showing signs of stress. i helped her move from the nursery into her new home. as everything is all-new - new baby, new home, new technology, (relatively) new grower - it seems i am behind trying to get to the front. hpa is fun, i think once everything settles in, it will be very easy to maintain and grow. i have the basic parts work - the high-pressure dosing, the nutrient distribution, the drainage, lighting figured out. i need to vent the tent more to reduce the little heat generated by the lights. i seem to have a few water leaks on at least one push connector on the high-pressure tank. then i think i need to clean up the wiring and nutrient lines. then for me - the real fun can begin. i already started building a computer for this garden - i really look forward to observing the hpa system from a data point of view to understand better how to maintain the best environment for the girl as well as increase operational efficiency.

Day 46 of Flower, 93 since germination. Starting to check the trichomes with my new wifi microscope. Looks like Lemon Extract has a scattering of amber trichome heads, but only in bud nearest the light. All other look milky and glassy. I'm thinking Lemon Extract might harvest in one week. The others, maybe two weeks. Gave the ladies their last feeding today. Just PH balanced water from here til harvest.

Gorilla glue auto: It keeps growing and forming buds... 50 centimeters This week I put in a dehumidifier to see if the humidity goes down... 70% humidity I increased the dimmer to 80% with the distance of 40 centimeters Gorilla glue#4 photoperiod: In the 5th week of gorilla glue 4 I did the first topping on the plant...

This week starts with smelly Blue Cheese Automatic. It’s growing great. Week 9 The Fruit spirit is getting bushier and looks healthy. Week 10 3G is growing slowly but surely. Looks great! Week 6th

Frosty purple freak is now on Week:6 of the vegetive stage and is now back in the 14L fabric pot and seems that the dynomyco has helped the roots expand now seeing the 7th to 9th set gets bigger day by day and a sturdy stem as well as what it seems like side branches

day 14 added 1/2tbsp magnesium sulfate in 5gal water along with regular flower water amendments. 1gal of water per day average, bridal and thunder can take more water. Ph 6.8 today day 15 I will defoliate in a few days :) day 15 video, you see some stem action day 16 video day 17 I added (4x20w daisy-chained)80w of poop purple ancient leds Keep adding soluble PK, organic booster etc. I see the stacks relax on defoliation for a few days, maybe tomorrow morning (skip day21) I feel like I will be able to chop week 6-7 as my last grow, push hard fast-continue everything is great, soon bridal and thunder will require 1gal water per day. I would like to see even more mass. I'm extremely happy, starting to see frost day18. BIG UPDATE many short vids of final defoliation(ahead of "day 21"). Wild amendments appeared! Any recommendations for a lawnmower? Bridalparty stretched over an inch overnight, led touch diode burn on 1 spot. Raised lights slightly, Added new amendments into water. Bridal wants to drink more than 1gal per day, So I will be using almost 5gal-ish water per day not denying the plant needs-watering. I am very happy! defoliation took about 4h today.

All good

trichome production exploded overnight!

Tuesday 4th August (day 38) 2-4am Heavy flushing EC keeps rising PH hasn’t come down below 2 after heavy watering and light feeding. I’m resorting to a reset flush now put roughly 15L of 1.0EC nutrient mix just Calmag and A&B through each pot and finished off with a Balanced feed for day 38 0.5ml/L - Calmag 1ml/L - Canna A&B 1ml/L - Big Bud 2ml/L Clean fruits PH5.6 EC Have removed the plant stands so I can bottom feed them extra when the lights are off, or if I can’t be home in time for watering. I’ve reduced light intensity when it’s too hot, battling high humidity. As you can see they are surviving they are a dark green colour and bud development has been super slow due to all the issues when growing in summer. I shouldn’t have had dry backs early flower should have just soaked them and worked with the humidity. Lessons learned as always with growing it’s never just plain sailing. I might knock the pure coco on the head and start adding perlite again in the winter. May get the autopots out haven’t decided yet.

From my previous experience with the outdoor grow. I decided to put her to the test in an indoor grow setup. I must say she is looking absolutely plush and green with strong leafs .. I'm already super excited to see what this grow can produce with the correct training and feeding schedules.

Week 7 - 08/11 - Topped most of the plant so far - LST tied down all main colas - Had an issue with the PH - has since been neutralized - clean water feeds for the next 2 weeks - prepping for transplant into 7 gallon pot.

Both green Gelato plants are down now. Will post totals soon. Haven't got many pics of one of them, all went very quick lol. Gorilla is a strange one. Still no signs of amber, but it's very Sativa looking. Might chop soon regardless.

June 30, 2024 This week is the end of mid flower. Next week we should be in the final stages of flower. Maturing as it's called. So we will focus on watering this week. Lighting doesn't need to be observed. So I'll be skipping that report unless something changes. Sour Diesel A is drinking next to nothing. Her reservoir is more than half full where the rest of the plants are nearly dry. She still looks good and has great color. But I think she needs to drink more. It's like the soil isn't absorbing much water at all. Maybe it's supposed to be this light. It's a new soil brand, so I'm not really sure what's going on. I think I'll top water her again tomorrow when the reservoir is less than half full. I was considering it today as it's a new week, but I'll be doing everything tomorrow when the rest of the plants are dried out. Sour Diesel B is looking really good. Her lowers look a little underdeveloped. No concern, it's to be expected. But I'd much rather see some development from the supplemental lighting. I'm not sure if it's working or not. I think I have them set up wrong. I need the bars. That's the only thing I can think of. I really don't want to install them so late into the grow, but maybe I will tomorrow. Or later today if I decide to clean out the reservoirs and start fresh. It's still really early. Sour Diesel C is swelling up more noticably now. I think it's due to the top feed. I'm wondering if this soil has issues with bottom feeding. Because I can tell you my previous soil would leave the whole top of the reservoir wet. And the soil would stay at a near constant 45% moisture level. Roots would come out from all over, but this is different. I might have to research the differences. Sour Diesel D has this massive baseball on top. Good side branch buds as well. She needs to be top fed as well. I think. She is a bit light, but doesn't seem to be having any issues. She's drinking just fine though. It's strange. Maybe she is more thirsty than the wicks can handle? The environment is a mess again today. It's really humid out and again it's showing in the tent. 67% humidity. Of course I'll be spending the day opening the tent to let in fresh air. Although, the airflow in the tent should be more than enough to keep air fresh and clean. Just humid. Once the AC kicks on it should drop to around 55%. Let's see how long that takes. It's not hot today. Grow System Environment: Temp: 76.1° RH: 64.4% VPD: 1.07 kPa July 1, 2024 Watering Day! All ladies got a full gallon refill today. Not much else going on. No pictures today. I did rotate a couple plants to get light to the outer branches. Sour Diesel A had about 2 liters left in the reservoir. So I put it in the sprayer and top watered it. There was absolutely no runoff, so I know she is a bit too dry. That should help. The branches are also starting to sway a bit when I move her around. Sour Diesel B has these super dense colas. Great size and smells wonderful. I can't wait to see how she tastes. Very promising quality. And a decent yield for the size. Sour Diesel C is looking really good. Now that all the buds are swelling, they are connecting and making the branches look fatter. She is also starting to sway a bit with movement. Sour Diesel D looks great with her giant cola. Nothing really else to say. I took a leaf off that was just blocking everything. The humidity today is still about 60%. I don't know how to make it go down. The AC hasn't kicked on, so I'm fighting it again. Shocker. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.1° RH: 61.8% VPD: 1.07 kPa July 2, 2024 It's picture day! That's about it though. No watering. Everything looks great! Sour Diesel A is starting to sway a bit. She is definitely packing on the weight in her buds. We are looking absolutely wonderful right now. Great leaf color. Beautiful buds. Nice bright orange pistils. Tons of trichomes. Nice and frosty. She is also holding on to that top feeding from yesterday. I may have to top feed her more often. I will most likely use some recharge when I have to top feed. Just to keep the microbes going. Sour Diesel B has these huge fat buds and some super strong branches as well. There's no real sway unless I jostle the plant, but she is also covered in frosty trichomes. Another week or 2 on her I think. Maybe a bit longer. Sour Diesel C is definitely starting to pack the weight on. Her tops are swaying without much touching. Solid buds and a lot of them. Definitely not a big as they should be. A friend of mine said it could be from a slight lack of water. It's definitely possible. My plants usually go through a gallon in less than 2 days by this time. Sour Diesel D looks great with her baseball sized cola. The side branches look pretty good as well. Lots of trichomes. Super dense. I've also had an idea. I haven't used base nutrients for this entire run as the soil is pre-amended and these are autos. However, I'm starting to think that was a bad idea. I don't think they got enough base nutrients to keep up with growth. It's probably why they didn't shoot up and most likely why 2 of them didn't grow super fat buds. Either way, I didn't have all three bottles anyway, so there wasn't much I could do. I should have used the micro and bloom and just worked with that. I don't have the grow bottle. Anyway, they didn't show any signs of deficiency, so I didn't bother adding them, but I'm starting to think they could have handled a hell of a lot more nutrients than I gave. There's still 2 to 3 weeks left. Maybe I'll add the flower and micro the next watering until flush. The environment is really weird. So it's a super nice day out. 72° and like 40% humidity. Just an overall nice day. On the other hand, my tent is stuck over 60% humidity yet again. So I have my heater turn on periodically to keep the temp up and try to pull some of the humidity out of the air. It's not really working. Even with the tent door open, the humidity is still high. I really don't get it. Grow System Environment: Temp: 72.4° RH: 62.1% VPD: 1.01 kPa July 3, 2024 Not much going on today. Our ladies still have enough water to last another day or 2. I've also decided to add a new gallon of water to each reservoir after the first plant runs out of water. The rest will be top fed into the corresponding plant. Sour Diesel A is definitely the most frosty of the bunch. Her buds are swelling up nicely and are super dense. Another 2 to 3 weeks of this and we are gonna have some hefty buds. Sour Diesel B already has some hefty buds. Not as much frost, but definitely a lot. Her lowers are also getting fairly hefty. Big for lowers that I have seen. Sour Diesel C has super dense buds. Even though they are smaller, I expect them to continue swelling over the next 3 weeks. Sour Diesel D is happily doing her thing. The single massive cola seems to be getting fatter as expected. There's still a good 2 to 3 weeks left on her, so I expect some super weight on the cola. The environment is jacked up. I don't know how to fix this with what I have. Now it's 64% and I have no idea why. It'll drop shortly when the central air kicks on. Grow System Environment: Temp: 74.3° RH: 58.8% VPD: 1.17 kPa July 4, 2024 Happy 4th everyone who celebrates it. It's picture day! Not a ton going on today, just some slight adjustments. Sour Diesel A looks good. She's getting heavy and swaying on the wind. Tons of frost, lots and lots of orange pistils. Sour Diesel B has massive frosty buds. They are super dense and look great! Honestly, there's a lot of leaves, but they are big. Even the sugar leaves are big. It should be pretty easy to trim. Sour Diesel C had light burn on one of the leaves that was way too close to the supplemental lighting. I snipped it off and rotated the plant slightly to get the leaves directly off the light. Secondly, she was super light, so she got a half gallon of just recharge top feed. I didn't use any of the nutrients, just the recharge. Hopefully that triggers some water intake. Sour Diesel D looks ridiculous with her one massive cola. Kinda looks like the main top of a huge plant that was cut off. Lol. She's drinking really well right now. The bottom of the container is evenly wet throughout. A great sign. She will be putting on more weight I think. Super frosty too. The central air kicked on really early today, so the environment should be good for the day. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.8° RH: 57.7% VPD: 1.26 kPa July 5, 2024 Not a lot going on today. I checked the plants and watered D. Sour Diesel A looks really nice. Super frosty and her pistils are bright orange and shriveling against the buds. It's really pretty. Sour Diesel B is packing on more weight. I see the natural foxtails. I wouldn't call them foxtails. I'd call them buds that got too big for the cola. Hell yes. Sour Diesel C is looking super good. Her buds are still swelling and frost is still coming in. Sour Diesel D was bone dry today. Not the soil, but the reservoir. The soil was a little dry, but it will soak up the water and fix itself. If not, I'll be doing a half gallon top water tomorrow. I did the full nutrient regimen, but I used the rest of the half gallon for A yesterday. I topped it off and left the Recharge in. The environment is messed up like it is every morning. But it's noon now and the humidity is still at 64%. When the central air kicks on, it will drop down to 50% by mid afternoon. The temp is still really good at 75°. Very happy with that. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.2° RH: 57.6% VPD: 1.24 kPa July 6, 2024 It's picture day! It's also the last day of week 6 of flower. Day 77 from seed. I also did my weekly video. Sour Diesel A is looking quite good. Her branches are pretty stiff and that frost is insane. It looks like white frosting all over. Some is so thick you can't see the green beneath. Sour Diesel B looks great! Her leaves just started to canoe a bit. I'm not sure if she is reaching or coming to the end of her life, or has some sort of toxicity or deficiency. I don't think so though. Nothing has changed in weeks. However, tomorrow I'll be watering with Overdrive for the rest of the grow cycle. She's also foxtailing. Not entirely sure that's supposed to happen, but it is. Although, I read somewhere that the Sour Diesel strain tends to produce foxtails naturally. Sour Diesel C is a bit droopy. I'm not sure why. She doesn't seem to need water, but I may top feed her tomorrow as well as refill the reservoir. Maybe I'll water to runoff. I'd say a gallon of water should do it. Or 3/4 gallon. Either way, I think she needs it. Actually, I'm thinking the rest of the plants need it too. Maybe I'll just water all of them to runoff. Sour Diesel D is just doing her thing. Not much to report. A couple little foxtails here and there, but the buds are still super dense. Let's hope it's a natural occurrence and not some environmental issue, like the @#$&ing humidity being too high. I should definitely try to research this. The environment is back to what it has been. High humidity in the morning and then it drops down to 54% by mid afternoon and by evening it's down to 49%. The temp is perfectly under control. At a steady 75° to 76° all day. Night time is a bit weird lately though. 72° at night. Mostly because the central air kicks off and my room warms up. I have my room AC but we all know by now that the thing blows out humidity like a rainforest. It just doesn't make sense. Grow System Environment: Temp: 75.3° RH: 57.3% VPD: 1.25 kPa

Nothing different this week. Plants are still changing fast and looking healthy. Will probably top dress this coming week.

Beautiful genetic, she is 4 days younger than the rest of the plants in this run and she has the same height as the rest of the ladies, beautiful stretch, the flowers are coming very nice and strong and I cannot wait to see what type of flowrs awaits me as I have never grown this genetic before however I'm starting to feel some sweet smell I don't know how she's gonna smell yet but I'm so excited, let's see how this lady perfoms!
