Day 29 - 8/12 - I took the day off! Didn't water and didn't measure. LOL I did peek at her once or twice though... Day 30 8/13 - 8.5" today! - 5.8 ph water as usual. - Cut off a couple of fan leaves that were annoying me. Thinking about finally flipping her tonight, getting a bit bored LOL need a change up. Day 31 - 8/14 - LOL Never mind on flipping her I guess, I ended up topping her! I wasn't going to, the furthest thing on my mind when it came to training her! But, I just did! I topped her! What can I say...I am very impulsive. I get an idea in my head and it's done before the next thought. I will change things up on a dime! - Well, she is doing good after that sudden head chop though. Wish I would have decided to do this a few days ago...but whatever! I think I will let her veg out for a few more weeks and get tall before I flip now LOL I may change my mind before then though. - 7" tall today now that she is topless. - No water today, but bringing her new feed up to full strength on her next...It's coming! She wants it bad lol Day 32 - 8/15 - Finally a full feed! Upped her Cal mag to 4ml/gal now too. May end up needing to go higher on that soon. - 7" tall still - She's already growing new pretty leaves and looking more bushy lol. I'm glad I topped her. - Hoping her full strength will help her paleness now lol, and her big dose of cal mag of course. Day 33 - 8/16 - 7.5" tall Day 34 - 8/17 - 7.5" tall - Still on every other day water with full strength Terra Grow from Plagron and 4ml of Cal Mag. Sometimes I feel like adding a ml or 2 of silica. Giving 2000ml per water. Day 35 - 8/18 - 8" tall **Still going on about how much I love my low effort nutrient feed! Simplicity is the way ! LOL at least for me. She didn't seem to mind the switch up to Plagron at all, but she was really young though. She did yell a bit at me for starting her so low...but this was my first time using Plagron, and my first time not going off of someone else's chart so I was fine taking my time. And, as you can see, she survived LOL She also didn't mind me suddenly cutting her head off. LOL When will I flip.....now that will be a mystery. I'm sure it will just hit my head one day that "today is the day"....and I'm sure there will be no actual reason for that specific day either, just an "I felt like it". Lana has not managed to nibble any this week, but she has stood guard to make sure no one else could either. She thinks if anyone is getting a nibble it's gonna be her! My little guardian. Also included some beautiful pics of other kitties! The joys of my life!

I think I chopped them too fast. They should be able to bloom for another week. But I don't have a drying room. Therefore, it must be cut and dried together with other strains.

Overall it was a good harvest, it could have been much better if I hadn't switched to the Cultivator Series line... But as soon as my order arrives I'll be back to Athena again 🙌

Chem Brulee – Pheno A | Week 2 Some plants demand attention through explosive growth. Others earn it through elegance. Chem Brulee Pheno A is beginning to look like one of those plants. While several of her tent mates are building wider structures, this phenotype is expressing herself differently. The slightly longer internodal spacing creates a more open architecture, giving the plant a refined and balanced appearance without sacrificing vigor. Every node is clearly defined, every branch has room to breathe, and the overall structure already hints at a phenotype that may favor vertical development as flowering progresses. What stands out most this week is the confidence of her growth. The main stem is thickening nicely, secondary shoots are emerging strongly from each node, and the newest growth displays that bright healthy green color that growers love to see during early vegetative development. From above, the canopy remains symmetrical and organized. From the side, the increased spacing between nodes reveals the plant’s structure beautifully, making it easy to follow her development stage by stage. Rather than stacking tightly, she appears to be building a framework designed for future expansion. The stem itself deserves mention. It has developed excellent thickness relative to the plant’s size and shows no signs of weakness despite the more open growth pattern. This combination of strong stem development and longer internodes often creates plants that are easy to manage and train later in the cycle. The lower branches are already reaching outward with purpose, and new growth sites are becoming increasingly visible. Every node is beginning to establish its own potential future flowering site, laying the foundation for what should become a productive structure once the flowering stretch begins. Environmentally, conditions remain unchanged from the rest of the Project Blue garden: * 12/12 from seed * RH: 60–65% * Day temperature: ~26°C * Night temperature: ~18°C * Root zone temperature: ~21°C * Watering pH: 6.0 * EC: 1.0 * Nutrients: * Plagron Terra Grow * Power Roots * Pure Zym * Sugar Royal * Foliar: Vita Race * PPFD approximately 600–700 One detail I particularly appreciate about this phenotype is how clearly she displays her structure. The spacing between nodes allows every growth point to be seen and documented, making her a fantastic candidate for following developmental changes throughout the coming weeks. These are often the plants that reveal their personality early and continue to surprise as flowering progresses. For now, Chem Brulee Pheno A appears healthy, vigorous, and completely on schedule. She may not be the most compact plant in the room, but she is demonstrating exactly the kind of balanced growth that suggests strong genetic expression and excellent adaptation to her environment. As always, Mr. Baggy remains on quality-control duty, carefully monitoring progress from somewhere nearby and ensuring every leaf receives the appropriate level of professional inspection. Week 2 closes with a healthy root zone, strong stem development, expanding side branches, and a beautifully organized structure that is becoming more interesting with each passing day. The journey continues. 🌱💚 Thank you to everyone following along with our Project, and to the friends, growers, sponsors, and community members who continue to support these diaries week after week. Your encouragement helps transform simple plant documentation into a shared learning experience for growers around the world. Growers Love and on to Week 3. 🚀🌿

I switch 12/12 at day 17, I irrigated one time with 3ml/l of root juice in 0.4l of corrected ph water. Sometimes Strawberry Lemonade rotates some leaves, I don't understand why.

Top strain. Big monster yield. Really hard stems. So beauty buds. I will upload more info when it will be cured. I will upload smoke review and dry weigh too

Week 3 flowering. Buds are slowly forming, plants still going good, cold weather is hitting my area now, hope it won't last long, might extend flowering period by a couple days if it stays this cold.

Starting week 6 Tent is being slowly full A little bit too hot for the next days as the weather outside will climb to 36-38°C, I thnk I will bring them some CO2. I will check with the growshop. Any idea is welcome. The stretch is really impressive, 1 of them get 20cm in 7 days Waiting for the buds 😁 Day 39 I have now added CO2 with an organic boost, it is linked it to the fan. Should be a little bit better with that temperature

Harvesting Gx2 x CAG from Selfie Seeds was extremely easy. Not a very leafy strain and all nugs were solid as rocks, so it took no time to get in there with some trimmers and have a wonderful looking end result.

Week 7 Flower: Looking okay considering only 182 watt LED light. PPFD not in range for flowering cannabis plant so not sure how long until harvest, might do a 10 week flower.

The growing cycle it self worked out as expected, except that the pH-level was way off from where it should be, and I found out a bit too late. Because of this the outcome of the harvest didn't say much about the potential of this strain, but as soon as I got enough time and space, she will get a new chance to shine. 2018-03-01. This is my review / smoke report of this lovely cbd flower. There are rock hard buds and almost no give at all, even in those smaller buds. When you grind it the scent will appear more than just smelling on the buds. It smells a little weak of grass, wood, bark, sweet, lemon, honey, skunk and some kind of spice. The taste is orange, mandarin, honey, bark, popcorn and pepper. The effect is directly, the thc feeling above the eyes and in the forehead, it fells like its a higher thc levels in this strain compered to the cbd strains i tried before. A little light ringing in the ears and a slight dry mouth. After 10 minutes, the cbd kicks in and and balance the thc high. The neck and shoulders begin to relax and the feeling continues down over the back and chest down to the stomach. A calming, relaxing, and slightly energetic feeling. After 15-20 minutes it is down in the legs and feet, and you can feel a vibrating feeling in your muscles, joints in a pleasant way. It reduces my tense muscles and some of the nervpain i got. Its a good strain for releasing stress and get you in a relaxed and satisfied mood. It is a very well-balanced strain and it fits in all sorts of contexts. If you take this in the morning or mid day it will give you a small energy boost and get you in the mood for doing something. I think this is a lovely strain and I highly recommend it to everyone but especially for more inexperienced people that dont like the high thc strains and want to have a good relaxant, pain controlling, anti depressant medication that also can give energy or help with getting to sleep. This is a must try strain.

She is flowering more and more each day and getting bigger than I expected haha. I have had to construct a makeshift "scaffold" around the tent so I can hang the light higher. The leaves are now slightly to big for the tent, so I hope she dosent get much bushier. Lots more pistels, and lots more growth, quite happy. # new tent coming 😁

Put up trellises around the edges and used steaks for the rest..got to move around room to water…everything looks good.. on flower nutrients

Lets start off with the Gas lantern lighting technique, this was invented in the 1800's I believe, by hemp farmers. if you give the cannabis light for 1 hour in the middle of the night, then you will keep it from going into flower. So if you leave the lights on for 12 hours, then darkness for 5.5 hours then 1 hour of light then 5.5 more hours of darkness. This will give you the growth of a 18 hour light day but you will only use 13 hours of electricity. Plants are more rested, faster growth and tighter node spacing. Overall very advantageous. It generally shortens veg by 2 weeks. the Jobes organics 4-4-4 is 17g per gallon, Above measurement system would not allow this. Will start LST and FIMing once plants have settled from transplant. Added extra Silica to boost available Si until microbes can catch up and degrade the vermiculite properly.

First grow ever, may the auto gods bless this grow 🙏

Que pasa familia, vamos con la cosecha de estas Gorilla Melon de FastBuds. Por dónde empezar, las flores son bien compactas y van repletas de resina son muy pegajosas, tienen tonos verdes bonitos, y tiene unos aromas dulces y exóticos bastante marcados con toques terrosos. Es muy sencilla de cultivar, es de ciclo de 2 meses y medio, pero bien agradecida, tiene buenos satélites, de las que plante de fastbuds, podría decir que mi favorita hasta el momento. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨
