week 7 first flowering week when I finally discovered my princess was actually a prince. 12/12 flowermind ferts (6ml + 0.5g) LST + defoliation started seeing some thrips again, but just a few, nothing to worry so, the plant stayed for 4 weeks in the tent, under COB LED 200W.

reaching the end 😁 control of trichomes😎😋 the rest of the days only with water 💦💦 temperature 27º C ☀️ humidity 65% 💧 and music 🎼 😉👍

This was the last week on vegetation light schedule, we think she had grown enough to start flowering cicle. We also started the defoliation, gradually removing the leaves, when we find it necessary.

Week 3: The Big Move for Charlotte & Makayla The "Solo Cup Sisters" are officially leveling up! This week was all about transitioning the Northern Lights into their permanent homes. They’ve handled the shift like champs and are looking vibrant and healthy as they settle into the 10-gallon fabric bags. Growth & Vitals Charlotte: Currently standing at 100 mm (approx. 4 inches). She’s showing great vigor and tight node spacing. Makayla: Following close behind at 85 mm (approx. 3.3 inches). She might be the "little" sister for now, but her leaf structure is incredibly robust. Appearance: Both plants are sporting a deep, healthy green with no signs of transplant shock. The internodal development is exactly where I want it to be for future training. The Setup Medium: Using the "secret sauce" 50/50 organic garden soil and potting soil blend. Containers: 10-gallon fabric bags. These are perfect for providing the drainage and root aeration these girls need. Environment: They’ve been spending time on the deck to soak up the morning sun. I’m keeping a close eye on the High Plains weather—bringing them inside when the Colorado wind gets a bit too rowdy to ensure they don't get beat up. Strategy & Next Steps Training: I’ve got some LST (Low Stress Training) hooks ready to go. I’ll start gently guiding their growth once they establish their roots in the new medium. Trellis Prep: The plan is to let them grow into a trellis system set about 12 to 18 inches above the soil line. This should give us plenty of airflow and a manageable canopy. Nutrients: Sticking with the organic regimen. I’ll be introducing the FOOP line—Veg, Bloom, and Sweetener—on a weekly schedule once they’ve fully recovered from the transplant. **Note:** The focus for the next few days is purely on root establishment. I'm keeping the moisture levels consistent but being careful not to overwater while they adapt to the larger volume of soil. #GrowDiaries #NorthernLights #Cannabiscommunity #Homegrown #OrganicGardening #Week3 #TransplantDay**

BIGFRUITS!! 😍 I love the tasty terps with this one!! https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Thanks also of course @Anesia_Seeds, for the beautiful genetics!! 💜 💜 💜 ________________________________________________________ Strain Information: Foster Foster is a balanced hybrid with a slight sativa dominance and it’s the result of crossing a particularly THC-rich Emperor Cookies Dough with our highly potent Sleepy Joe. The combination of these two exceptionally strong parents has resulted in a premium strain that delivers a fine balanced aroma and an insane high. Foster’s high is deceptively slow at first and creeps up, but after a few minutes her outsized potency unfolds with dizzying energy and euphoria. The mind is suddenly full of motivation and a feeling of lightness spreads. At the same time, the body is flooded with tingling, warm effects and greatly relaxed. The strain clears your mind for new ideas and concepts, lets you dream and makes you feel really happy. Due to her high potency and measured THC levels of up to 35%, she will delight and challenge those with a high tolerance with ease, while certainly beaming away novices for several hours. Because of this, she is not recommended for beginners and you should not underestimate this fragrant beauty. Growing Foster Foster is a resilient and vigorous strain that produces excellent results indoors, outdoors and in the greenhouse. She tips the scales in yields of up to 550g/m² or 1000g per plant, grows quickly and forms many strong side branches with large heavy buds. Towards the end of the flowering period, the buds are covered in a thick layer of glistening resin and emit an intense sweet, fresh and floral scent. She is perfect for growing in a SCROG or SOG and has a very favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio, making manicuring easy. Her terpene profile is complex, offering an aroma and flavor reminiscent of coffee, caramel, freshly baked cookies, and vanilla. It’s a seductive treat that shouldn’t fool you with her mind-blowing potency. She is among the strongest strains on the market and has enough THC to blow your head off. Therapeutic effects Due to its complex terpene and cannabinoid profile, it has a similar wide range of uses in the therapeutic field as in the recreational field. It helps to reduce stress, has a mood-enhancing effect and is extremely helpful for pain and inflammation. https://anesiaseeds.com/product/foster/ ________________________________________________________________________________ SETUP: 80x80x180 cm Zelsius 240W Full Spectrum LED IR UV dimmable DW240H-A6-HS Heatsink color red LED Chips: 512pcs SAMSUNG LM301H + 24pcs Osram 660nm + 8pcs Osram IR 730nm + 8pcs UV 385nm Color mix: 2700K + 4000K 2,8umol/J Driver HLG-240H-C2100B Coverage: veg 5x3ft / flower 4x2ft Product size: 628x205x68mm Green Buzz Nutrients Shouts go out to my sponsors @GreenBuzzNutrients, thanks so much for your support! 💚 💚 💚 If anyone would like to try their amazing organic products, use code GD42025 for generous 25% discount (for orders of minimum 75€) ✨ https://greenbuzznutrients.com/ Biobizz Lightmix custom exhaust fan 320/270cm³/h Carbon Active Granulate 240cm³/h tab water pH 8 - EC 0,25 with Calmag to 0,5 Advanced Hydroponics pH minus Grow + Bloom to pH 6.2 🍪 😍🍪 😍🍪 😍🍪 😍🍪 😍🍪 😍

Welcome back.Ladies and gentlemen, today is day 26 of flower and as you can see, she's starting to stack nicely.. Her internadal spacing is awesome and she's starting to smell nice.. Some trichome production, but nothing to brag about, but it's so early on... I have very high hopes for this girl as she has been thriving from the beginning.. Zamnesia Seeds it is amazing. Thank you, Patricia for the opportunity to showcase your genetics.. Hope everyone is doing well and until next week.God bless and happy growing ✌️

**Encontrarás la traducción a español al final de la descripción** From/Desde: 01/03/19 || To/Hasta: 07/03/19 From day/Desde día: 8 || To day/Hasta día: 14 You can find the Money Maker Diary here: ** Podéis encontrar el diario de las Money Maker aquí:** https://growdiaries.com/diaries/25667-gorillamakingmoney-gorilla-vs-money-m -----IMAGES & VIDEOS----- Video 1: Timelaspe video covering 5 days, from Monday 4th night to Sunday 9th afternoon/night. One second Blackouts on video represents night times. I'm sorry for the dancing of colours specially first days, i will try to do it better next time. The background song is from the old awesome album "Deep Forest" of Deep Forest "Sweel Lullably" song (I think i'm going to use this song for almost all timelapse plant growing videos). -----WEEK SUMMARY----- I'm sorry about the delay updating this week, i traveled to Venice at the end of this week and that's why it's late and i have very few or non photos of the next week. I wish the almost 5 days timelapse video can cover the lack of images for the next week. At time, among the 4 plants you can see on group photos, there is one of the 2 gorillas that stands out from the others. The other one is not growing as fast and strong as this one, and also is growing with discoloration areas in the leafs (it will be much more visible next week). I will perform the first Topping/Man Linning/LST on the plant that stands out the next week, and probably will leave the second Gorilla untouched to perform tests and comparsions. Also, among the 2 genetics, the Gorillas are growing much more robust and fast than the Money Makers are. LST STRUCTURE: To prevent breaking or making holes in the pot i designed this LST structure in blender and printed in 3D. They fit perfectly in the 8l RootPoch pots, so at time i didn't fixed them to the pots. If i see any of the plants lifting the structure i will just add weigh over it. -----WATERING CALENDAR----- 06/03/19 - 1.250 ml with all week nutrients and 1 CO2 tablet over the soil @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 (I'm going to travel to Venice till Sunday so i watered well) *****ESPAÑOL***** -----IMÁGENES Y VÍDEOS----- Vídeo 1: Vídeo TimeLapse que cubre 5 días, desde el lunes 4 por la noche hasta el domingo 9 por la tarde/noche. Los negros de 1 segundo que aparecen en el vídeo indican las noches. Siento mucho las variaciones de color entre los días, especialmente los primeros, la siguente vez intentare tener mejor color y más estable. La canción que suena de fondo es de un album antiguo maravilloso llamado "Deep Forest" de Deep Forest, la canción es "Sweet Lullably" y creo que la voy a usar en todos los timelapses de cultivo). -----SUMARIO SEMANAL----- Siento el retraso en el update de esta semana, me pilló el fin de la semana con un viaje que he hecho a Venecia y por esta razón llega tarde esta semana y de la siguiente tengo pocas fotos, espero cubrirlo bien con el vídeo timelapse que he hecho de casi 6 días De momento de las 4 plantas que podéis ver en las fotos de grupo hay una de las 2 gorilas que destaca sobre el resto de las plantas. He de decir que la otra está creciendo con manchas de decoloración en la hojas (se hará mucho más evidente la semana que viene). Por como va creciendo la Gorila que destaca, esta es a la primera a la que le realizaré el Man Lining y LST, y probablemente deje a la segunda gorila sin hacérselo para ir haciendo pruebas y ver diferencias. Así mismo, de entre las 2 genéticas diferentes, sin duda las gorilas crecen con más robustez y velocidad que las Money Maker ESTRUCTURA LST: Para no agujerear los tiestos he diseñado esta estructura para LST con blender y la he impreso en 3D. Se ajusta a la perfección a los RootPoch de 8 Litros pro lo que de momento no la he fijado al tieso ni suelo mediante nada, si veo que alguna de las plantas la levanta, simplemente pondré peso sobre la estructura. -----CALENDARIO DE RIEGO----- 06/03/19 - 1.250 ml con todos los nutrientes semanales y una pastilla de CO2 sobre la tierra @ 0.4~0.5 E.C. PH5.5 (Como voy a viajar unos días he regado bien)

OK So had some non plant related as well as plant related issues this week. Been hectic with personal life, and still finding my groove with the girls .. I decided against any sort of training .... get it you can maximaxe and all but m all about letting them do their thing with some love and help, i feel like the hst and defoliation is just not for me at present time. If i get into commercial i definately see the advantages... Im growing for just myself , have zero friends and girlfriend doesnt really part take except the sometimes will hit a vape pen and shes done .. so all the fruits are for me and just do not see the need to mutalate my plants to get extra,, ill just grow more :D Recap : 5 - Barneys Glue Gelato Autoflowers 2 - "Freebie" Caramel Cream Aut o <I believe Maine Clone Company > though did not have label. All seeds came from AMAZING NORTH ATLANTIC SEED COMPANY .... ZERO issues ordering , shipping and popped 7 for 7 seeds even with some pretty disasterious goofs , see week 1 1. Struggled with Lighting - Definatly had the California Lightworks Solar Extreme TOO CLOSE .. now keeping a good 24 inches and will adjust soon with flowering 2. Struggled with PH - My well water is great .. low PPM and 7.0 ph . BUT i use ph down it seems each day with the top off water to bring the girls down from 6.5 - 6.8 to a nice 5.9-6.0 Eariier not too bad as the girls were not drinking so much ... which leads me to next 3. THEY ARE DRINKING BOY ... Holy cow this week they became drinkers liike i did not expect. I run my lights 2 pm to 8 am and turn off until 2 pm each day .... I top off in the morning before i put them to sleep , the bigger girls ... 4 of the glue gelatos autos are drinking almost half gallon each per day atm . While my lil girls <caramel cream autos > are much shorter and i have one gelato glue auto on the smaller side . They do not drink nearly as much maybe a quart . 4. I goofed on the BLOOM, I did not expect bloom so early i was planning on this week to start them .... but nope showed signs of sulfur deficiency , caught it early and changed the feeding to bloom cycle and WOW they took the hell off ... Have TREMENDOUS growth in past week sinced changed cycle ... Again im following FAST BUDS auto feeding chart for expert for general hydro to the T and adding HYDROGUARD 5. I have one caramel cream auto with mag deficiency signs on some bpottom fan leaves but i believe i got that fixed when i did the water change, not sure why just her , unless i goofed on the bucket mix. Which brings me to next statement ... IM INVESTING IN A GDAM 13 GALLON x 8 bucket plus RES kit for next grow ... Doing and maintaining 7 buckets is a royal pain in the ass . I honestly only expected 4 plants out of the 7 . AND expected fully i would kill something along the way I am visually impaired and BRain Tumor Dude .. so i gots some issues sometimes . .. but if you check out the videos i post in a bit here you can see, WTF i am doing ok i feel like . Great looking plants from my amateur opinion , always room for improvement as i am super critial of everything i do OCD/ADHD glorious combo BUT YES a better setup is needed for ease of use .. I bought my complete setup at PA HYDROPONICS , meaning my BUCKETS with fittings and hydroton . 200 bucks could not find better price anywhere he does a great fallponics custom build with 3 inch pvc that i have seen in action and tis a thing of beauty for us home growers. Plus i can add a small chiller to the mix to keep that temp a tad bit lower. IT about an 800 dollar upgrade BUT for the rest of my setup it belongs : vivosun 4x9 tent Ac Infinity T8 x 2 <one for vent one for blower , also have a great merv 13 filter box from ac infinity so as not to such in yuck from basement. 2 california solar extreme 550 So i figure adding an 8 bucket fallponics to fill the tent would look so much better tahn my 5 gallons and the constant checking each one and filling etc .... Having the res would be nice I also see the cons of it as if you goof you goof on all not just one .... But i m fairly certain i will upgrade. ***************** So right now it looks like nice buds are starting to form on all 7, the Glue Gleatos are much taller and full than the caramel creams ... I am tracking water being added and at this rate will need another change over in a day or two if drinking 1/2 gal a day and about 3 gallons <12 liters> labout inch from bottom of net pot. Rule of thumb being water change to replace nutes when you replace a volume equal to the total volume ... which is about every 6 days , last water change being 8/7 I will post some more when i inspect the ladies when i turn on the lights at 2 pm First time grower in setu

🥒 Project Blue Tent – Week 4 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno A (Folder 14A) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 For anyone joining this journey for the first time, this project follows four individual plants, each documented in its own diary from seed to harvest. Although every plant shares the exact same environment, nutrients, lighting, and care, each one is given the opportunity to tell its own unique story and reveal how its genetics express themselves. Today we're catching up with Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A. ⸻ 🌱 Week Four – Recovery and New Beginnings Last week marked an important milestone when Plant A received her very first topping. This week, however, was all about patience. After performing a high-stress training technique, I always prefer giving the plant time to recover before asking anything more of her. Rather than continuing with additional training, I simply let nature do its job while carefully observing how she responded. Sometimes, the best thing a grower can do is... nothing. Looking at her now, it's safe to say she appreciated that decision. The recovery has been outstanding. The two new leading shoots have quickly taken over, growth has remained vigorous throughout the entire plant, and the side branches are now pushing with much greater determination than before. The change in architecture is already becoming obvious, with the canopy beginning to widen naturally as the plant redirects its energy away from a single dominant tip. It's always rewarding to watch such a dramatic transformation from one small cut. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions Consistency continues to be one of the biggest priorities inside Project Blue Tent. Stable environmental conditions allow the plants to recover quickly from training while encouraging continuous vegetative growth. Average conditions this week were: • 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative humidity: 67% • 🥥 Root zone temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: 18°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.88 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light schedule: 18/6 With the Phytonaut LED providing an even spread across the canopy, the plants continue receiving all the energy they need while maintaining compact internodal spacing and healthy vegetative growth. ⸻ 🥥 Feeding Adjustments As mentioned in the previous updates, all four plants developed a slightly lighter shade of green during the last couple of weeks. Although their posture remained excellent and growth never slowed down, I felt they were asking for just a little more nutrition. Rather than waiting for deficiencies to appear, I increased the base feeding slightly. Current nutrition now consists of: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.8 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.8 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L By the end of this week I was already beginning to notice a richer, healthier green returning to the newest foliage across the entire tent, suggesting the adjustment was exactly what the plants were asking for. One of the things I'm really enjoying about growing in coco is how quickly the plants respond to small, measured changes. ⸻ 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant A This phenotype continues to impress me every single week. The recovery after topping has been remarkably smooth, and it's already clear that the plant has shifted into a completely different growth pattern. The two new main leaders are developing beautifully, while the lower branches are accelerating as they receive more energy than they would have under normal apical dominance. Instead of growing upward through one dominant stem, the plant is now beginning to spread outward, creating the broad, balanced framework I'm hoping to build before introducing the SCROG later in the grow. The stems continue to thicken nicely, the internodal spacing remains tight, and the foliage has maintained excellent posture throughout the week. Although she's still carrying that slightly lighter shade of green, the improvement in colour over the last few days is already noticeable, and her overall posture tells the real story. Leaves are praying toward the light. Growth is continuous. The plant simply looks happy. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should be another exciting step forward. With the topping now fully recovered, I expect both new leaders to begin stretching more aggressively while the side branches continue filling out the canopy. For now, I'll continue allowing the plant to develop naturally, avoiding unnecessary stress and simply monitoring her structure as she prepares for the next stage of vegetative growth. Every week these genetics reveal a little more of their personality, and Plant A is becoming exactly the kind of bushy, well-balanced plant I was hoping to create. ⸻ 💙 Thank You A huge thank you goes to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these fantastic Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A sincere thank you as well to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line that continues supporting healthy growth every step of the way. Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers from around the world can document their journeys, share experiences, and continue learning from one another. And finally, thank you to everyone following along. Whether you've been here since germination, recently discovered these diaries, leave comments every week, quietly follow in the background, or simply enjoy watching these ladies grow, your support genuinely means a lot. Project Blue Tent is about sharing the complete journey—the successes, the lessons, the experiments, and everything in between. I hope you're all having an amazing week, and I look forward to seeing you again in the next update as these beautiful ladies continue their adventure. Until next time... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

09/11/2022 switch to flowering (12-12) first defoliation 09/13/2022 Watering 3l per plants

Day 7. Looking good, gonna give a light dose of nutes later today. General Hydroponics maxigro is what I'll be giving her. Day 13. Tucked a few leaves to expose lower bud sites.

Day 76 - I was on holiday all this week so not many daily photos, was able to gather the Energy the day after I come home to give them there proper defoliation at the end of week 3. No complaints or problems as of yet with the strain very easy to grow with little maintenance

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 9 🥒 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno B 🌿 When The Girls Decide They're Bigger Than The Room Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 And what a chapter this has been. If you're new to this diary, welcome aboard! Project Blue Tent follows four individual plants through their journey from seed to harvest, with each phenotype receiving her own dedicated diary. All four girls share the same tent, lighting, irrigation, nutrition, environment and overall cultivation strategy. The idea remains simple: Keep the variables as consistent as possible... And let the plants tell their own story. And this week? The plants had quite a story to tell. Because apparently... we ran out of room before they ran out of energy. 😂🌱 Today we're giving the spotlight to Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno B. And just like her sisters... She's shining. 🌸 Week Nine – Okay Girls, We Get It... You're Growing Last week, we knew the stretch was coming. We talked about it. We expected it. We knew that seven weeks of vegetation, warm temperatures and four incredibly vigorous plants could potentially create a serious flowering stretch. Well... They delivered. 😂 Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B has reached approximately 145 cm. And that's before we start adding the height of the pot, substrate and drainage system underneath her. Suddenly, our vertical space became a very serious consideration. The plants were simply getting too close to the LEDs. So this week wasn't about watching from the sidelines. We had to adapt the room. And honestly? I'm very happy with the result. 💡 Making More Vertical Space The first major change was moving the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent and onto the top. Previously, that equipment was occupying valuable space inside the tent. By relocating it, we were able to reclaim some of that vertical room. The extraction setup now pulls air from inside the tent through the carbon filter and extractor positioned above the tent before exhausting it away. That gave us the opportunity to raise the LEDs much closer to the top of the tent. And those few extra centimetres? They suddenly became extremely valuable. The plants aren't getting shorter. 😂 But at least now they have more room between the canopy and the lighting. And that's exactly what we needed. 🔥 A Little Too Close To The LEDs Before we made the adjustment, some of the taller tops had already gotten a little too close to the LEDs. There were some burned leaves and affected tops. Nothing dramatic. Nothing that changed the overall health of the plant. But definitely enough to tell us: They had pushed the limits. So we caught it. We raised the lights. We opened the canopy. And now we're watching the plants respond. These things happen in a real grow. You can plan your distances. You can watch the numbers. You can calculate your available space. And then four plants decide they're going to ignore your calculations. 😂🌱 Message received. ✂️ Deep Defoliation – Opening The Room Again After creating more vertical space, we also needed to deal with the incredible amount of foliage these plants had accumulated. So we went through the room with a proper deep defoliation. We removed the leaves that were no longer helping us maintain the structure we wanted. The objective wasn't simply: "Remove leaves." It was about cleaning up an extremely dense flowering environment. Opening the interior. Improving visibility. Creating more space between developing flowering sites. And making the structure easier to manage as flowering progresses. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B handled the process beautifully. And now, looking at her after the cleanup... I can actually see the plant again. The branches. The flowering sites. The structure. The support underneath. Everything is much more visible. And that's exactly what I wanted. 🌿 Why We Defoliate I think it's important to explain what we're actually trying to accomplish when we do this. Healthy leaves aren't bad. They're part of the plant's engine. So we're not removing foliage because leaves are somehow unwanted. We're managing excessive density. After seven weeks of vegetation and an enormous flowering stretch, the plants had simply produced more vegetative material than we wanted to carry into the next stage. The defoliation gives us a cleaner structure and allows us to better observe what's happening inside the canopy. It isn't a magic button. It doesn't guarantee anything. And I'm certainly not expecting the plant to suddenly produce more flowers simply because we removed leaves. It's about managing the structure we've created. Now the work is done. The plants get to respond. 🕸️ The Second SCROG Is Installed Another major change this week was the addition of a second SCROG net. The first net did exactly what we wanted during vegetation. It helped us spread the canopy and create the structure. But now we're looking at plants around 145 cm tall, with flowering still developing. Those branches are going to have a lot more weight to carry as the flowers mature. So the second net is there primarily as additional support and organization. We're preparing the structure for what's coming. And I think we'll be very happy we did it. Because looking at these girls now... I don't think they're planning on producing tiny flowers. 😂💙 🌬️ More Airflow – One Fan Up, One Fan Down We also added a second Zamnesia clip fan underneath the canopy. Previously, we had airflow higher in the room. Now we've added another source lower down. The idea is to keep air moving throughout the entire plant structure rather than concentrating circulation in only one zone. With one fan higher and one lower, we're creating a more dynamic, vortex-like circulation pattern through the room. Air moves. It changes direction. It travels through the canopy. And the lower portion of the plants isn't being forgotten. This is particularly useful now that we've opened the canopy with the defoliation. We created more space. Now we want that space to have good air movement. And honestly... the room looks beautiful. ✂️ Clean Scissors – Always Another small detail that deserves a mention is the Zamnesia curved scissors. I really like using these for the smaller and more delicate work. For much of my defoliation, I actually prefer using my fingers. If I can gently remove a leaf without bringing a blade anywhere near the plant, that's often what I'll do. But some leaves are awkward. Some are tucked into delicate spaces. Some simply need a precise cut. That's where the scissors come in. And regardless of whether they're brand new or already used: Clean scissors. Always. It's a simple habit, but it's one I don't compromise on. Clean tools make sense. 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B – Taking It All In Stride And this is where I have to give Plant B some special credit. Look at her. She's gone through the same crazy stretch as her sisters. She's been through the room reorganization. The LEDs were raised. The canopy was deeply cleaned. A second SCROG was installed. Another fan was added. And she's still standing there looking perfectly happy. 😂💙 That's what I like about this girl. She doesn't seem particularly interested in making things complicated. She just grows. And grows. And grows. At some point, I think the entire room realized: We're all Pickle Lemon Haze now. 😂 🌸 Flowering Is Really Taking Shape The most exciting part is that underneath all this structural work, flowering is continuing exactly as we want. The plants have entered this phase with enormous momentum. The flowering sites are developing. The branches are carrying new growth. The structure we've spent weeks building is now becoming the framework for the flowers. And after this week's cleanup, those developing flowers are much easier to appreciate. The plants are no longer simply preparing to flower. They're doing it. And now we're watching the transition from flowering sites into increasingly substantial flowers. That's the part I'm really looking forward to. 🥒 Different Strain, Same Room, Same Challenge Pickle Lemon Haze F1 is obviously a different genetic line from the Blue Waffle F1 girls sharing this tent. And that's exactly what makes this project so interesting. Different genetics. Different diaries. Different plants. But under the same conditions... this week they've behaved remarkably similarly. They stretched. They became too tall. They needed more vertical space. They needed a serious cleanup. They needed additional support. They benefited from improved airflow. And now they're all standing there looking remarkably happy. That's an interesting result in itself. Sometimes genetics give you very obvious differences. Other times... different genetics find remarkably similar ways to respond to the same environment. This week has been one of those times. 💧 Nutrition – The Girls Are Loving It The nutritional program has also moved forward slightly. The current recipe is: 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 That has brought the EC up to approximately 2.49 mS/cm. And the plants are clearly responding well. The foliage remains healthy. The plants are vigorous. Flowering development is progressing. And the overall room is showing us that these girls are consuming what we're giving them. So we're staying consistent. No unnecessary drama. No wild changes. Just watching what the plants tell us. And right now... they're telling us they're hungry. 😂🌱 🌡️ Blue Tent – Current Conditions The room remains under the same general environmental conditions: 🌸 Flowering: Week 9 📏 Height: approximately 145 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ☀️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 27°C 💧 Relative humidity: 67% ⚗️ pH: 6.01 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.49 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 25.3°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 24°C 💨 CO₂: approximately 666 ppm ? Pot size: 8 L 💦 Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h The biggest difference this week isn't really the environment itself. It's how we've reorganized the physical space around it. The plants grew. So we adapted. 🌬️ Airflow Becomes Even More Important With a room this full, airflow becomes something I want to pay increasing attention to. The canopy has been opened. The second fan is now moving air underneath. The upper airflow remains active. And extraction has been moved outside the tent. That gives us a much cleaner overall setup. We're not trying to create some artificial hurricane inside the tent. 😂 We're simply making sure the air doesn't sit stagnant around a dense flowering structure. The goal is movement throughout the room. And with the second fan underneath the canopy, I feel much happier about the circulation we're creating. 🕸️ The Second Net – Preparing For The Finish The second SCROG is also going to become increasingly useful as flowering progresses. Right now, the branches are still relatively light. But we're not at the end. We're approaching the stage where those flowers are going to become much more substantial. So the second net is there before we need it. That's something I've learned over the years: Preparation is much easier than trying to solve a support problem after the weight arrives. For now, everything is positioned. The structure is organized. And we're ready to see what these girls can build. 🌿 What I Expect From The Defoliation Now that we've completed the major cleanup, I'm not expecting to constantly interfere. Quite the opposite. We've done the work. Now I want to watch the plants respond. I don't expect them to stop growing overnight. I don't expect some magical transformation. And I certainly don't expect the defoliation to replace good environmental management. What I do expect is a cleaner structure that's easier to observe and manage while the plants continue flowering. And that's enough. Sometimes the best thing you can do after making a significant adjustment... is nothing. Just watch. 💙 Plant B – Still Shining There's something really satisfying about looking at Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B now. She's tall. She's vigorous. She's flowering. She's healthy. And she's survived another week of us rearranging her world. 😂🌱 The plant hasn't suddenly become something different. She's still the same energetic girl we've been following. The difference is that now the room is better prepared for what she wants to do. And I think that's an important distinction. We're not trying to force her into being smaller. We're not trying to fight her genetics. We're simply giving her the structure and space to finish properly. That's the goal. 🌸 The Blue Tent Is Finally Organized Again After all the work this week, I have to admit... I really like looking inside this tent now. The carbon filter and extractor are outside. The LEDs are raised. The canopy has been cleaned. The second SCROG is installed. The second fan is moving air underneath. The flowering structure is visible again. And the girls? They're happy. That's the important part. We may have had a little chaos getting here... but the end result looks beautiful. 👀 Looking Ahead From here, I think the plan becomes much simpler. Observe. Maintain. Support. And let them flower. The major structural work is done. The room has more vertical space. The lights have been raised. The canopy has been opened. The second support net is ready. Airflow has been improved. Nutrition has been adjusted slightly to match their appetite. Now I want to see how Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B responds as flowering continues. Will the stretch finally slow? How quickly will the flowers gain size? How much weight will those branches eventually carry? And how will her individual phenotype become more obvious as maturity approaches? Those are the questions I want answered now. And thankfully... I don't need to answer them today. The plants will. 💙 Final Thoughts – Last But Definitely Not Least And here we are... last but not least. 💙😂 And I'm writing this with a huge smile on my face because, honestly... these four girls are amazing. This week was intense. They stretched far more than we wanted. They became too tall for the original equipment arrangement. We had to move the carbon filter and extractor outside the tent. We raised the LEDs. We dealt with a few areas of LED stress. We performed a deep defoliation. We installed a second SCROG. We added another fan underneath the canopy. We adjusted the nutrition. And after all of that... I look inside the room and think: Beautiful. 😂💙 Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B is standing there looking healthy, vigorous and completely ready for the next stage. She's approximately 145 cm tall. She's flowering. She's building. She's supported. She's getting airflow. She's getting nutrition. And she's still shining. That's what I love about this project. We can plan. We can prepare. We can train. We can measure. We can make mistakes. We can lose a little vertical space. 😂 But ultimately... the plants get the final word. And this week, their message was very clear: We're happy. Keep going. So that's exactly what we're going to do. The major work is behind us. Now we enter the much quieter part of the journey. We provide what they ask for. We keep the environment stable. We watch the flowers develop. We support the branches. And we let these beautiful girls finish the story they started seven weeks ago. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B doesn't need a dramatic rescue story. She doesn't need a complicated intervention. She simply needs her space, her support and her time. And now... she has all three. 💙🌸🥒 🙏 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 individually. A massive thank you to Plagron for the Hydro nutrient line supporting these girls through their incredibly vigorous growth and now deeper into flowering. A special thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, the curved scissors and the clip fans that continue helping us manage this increasingly impressive room. Thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that continues keeping these plants consistently supplied as their demand increases. And of course, thank you to GrowDiaries for providing this platform where we can document the successes, the mistakes, the unexpected moments and everything in between. And finally... thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. 💙 Four plants. One room. Different genetics. And somehow... this week they all decided they wanted to become giants. 😂🌱 We gave them more room. We cleaned them up. We supported them. We improved the airflow. And now we're going to let them do what they do best. Grow. Flower. Shine. Pickle Lemon Haze Pheno B is ready. The room is ready. The second net is ready. The airflow is ready. And the flowers are just getting started. Let's see how beautifully this girl finishes. Until next week... Keep shining, beautiful girl. 💙🥒🌸 Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

Week 10 Update – Sticky Broccoli Auto Late Flower / Staggered Harvest Begins This week marked the start of harvest. One plant had to come down early due to size and structural issues, but overall quality is still looking strong. The remaining plants are being staggered for harvest to dial in peak ripeness. ⸻ Drying / Post-Harvest Note • One harvested plant nearly filled the Cannatrol Cool Cure C • Space is now a real concern for the remaining harvest • May need to stagger loads or get creative with drying strategy ⸻ Lighting & Canopy Management • Installed under-canopy lighting (3/25) • ~24W per light • Producing 200–300 PPFD under canopy • Helps push lower bud development late into flower • Likely contributed to improved lower-site density ⸻ Feeding Strategy Shift • Fully transitioned to hand feeding • Removed emitters to prevent overwatering and improve control • Beginning staggered flush approach: • 2 plants switched to plain RO water • Final plant continues light feeding before final flush ⸻ Feeding Log 3/26 – Standard Feed • 4 gallons mixed, ~2.5 gallons used • ~5% runoff per plant • 5.8 pH Per gallon: • 0.5ml Silicium Bloom • 2ml MagCal • 4ml Green Sensation • 2ml Cocos A • 8ml Cocos B • 4ml Pure Zym ⸻ 3/27 – Accidental Heavy Feed (Adjusted) • Mixed wrong schedule, used ~50% • 900 ppm / 5.8 pH Per gallon: • 0.5ml Silicium Bloom • 2ml MagCal • 4ml Green Sensation • 3ml Cocos A • 12ml Cocos B • 4ml Pure Zym ⸻ 3/28 – No Feed ⸻ 3/30 – Light Feed / Transition Phase • Fed at lights on (~2:30 AM) • ~5% runoff • 430 ppm / 6.0 pH Per gallon: • 0.5ml Silicium Bloom • 2ml MagCal • 4ml Green Sensation • 2ml Cocos A • 8ml Cocos B • 4ml Pure Zym ⸻ Trichome & Ripeness Check • Majority: cloudy dominant • Some amber beginning to show • Small percentage still clear • Right in the harvest window depending on desired effect ⸻ Observations • Bud weight is seriously stacking – causing structural issues • Under-canopy lighting seems to be helping lower development • Plants are finishing strong with good resin coverage • Staggered harvest should help maximize overall quality ⸻ Next Steps • Chop 2 plants this weekend • Let final plant push another week for increased amber • Monitor Cannatrol capacity and drying timing • Continue RO water on finishing plants

Questa settimana lei ha dato uno scatto di crescita veramente enorme! E arrivata facilmente a 1 metro di altezza (mi arriva al mio gomito) Si iniziano a sentire un po' di dolci odori, molto leggeri ma ci sono! I pistilli iniziano a riempire i calici e le punte tendono a diventare più chiare (simbolo di inizio fioritura) non mi aspettavo tutta questa crescita considerato si è beccata 2 topping , uno al 5 nodo e li altri due al secondo uno da destra e l'altro da sinistra...si è veramente ripresa stupendamente anzi in realtà non ha mai dato segni di rallentamento! Ecco perché io adoro le genetiche di ANESIA ! Sono veramente stabili , segno di numerosi incroci! Anche i loro fertilizzati sono veramente ottimi grazie al biopotenziatore adesso cresce il micelio nel mio substrato!!! Mai vista una cosa del genere prima! Sul serio tutta la potenza in solo 3 prodotti! Ringrazio veramente i ragazzi di anesia per queste splendide genetiche ! Per non parlare della semplicità di preparazione! Grazie ancora a tutti voi per essere sempre in prima linea con i vostri commenti e likes! 🌈🌱🌈 Auguro una buona giornata a tutti voi!!!!😘

Plant grew well outside if a little rot issue. Was operator error. She grew well under the Mars Hydro FC4800, with the Athena blended line nutrition. A berry sour smell with lots of frost. She should be a good 4 to 5 ounces once done. I did use mire then Athena recommend in flowering. I will be back with smoke report in a few months. Thank you Mars Hydro, Athena, and Weed Seed Express. 🤜🤛🌱❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g
