Week 8 of flower is in the books and this show is quickly coming to an end. I said last week we had about 7-10 days and I was spot on at the 10 day mark. I was only wrong about the order. The cheese is ready to chop before the rest and the gorilla cookies, cherry Bomb and lemon haze will follow in due course. The cheese is a beast and it’ll take a little time to get it all run through the bowl trimmer. At least the big one goes first. Her tallest colas have foxtailed like mar, despite the late supercrop. You can tell where the sweet spot for the light is at about 10” distance from the canopy. Any closer than that and the tails begin to show prominently. It’s a good example of just how close you can get to these fixtures with a little bit of prior experience. It’s been noted for the next run😎👍😎. The res. is on an h2o2 only flush for the remainder until the rest are ready to come down. Not a moment too soon either - the pollen chucking project has stalled out waiting for these girls to finish and now that we’ll have a little extra room, we can start running our cuts in the aerocloner🤟. Not long at all now folks. Thanks for tagging along through all this. Learned a bunch about this system and we’re back to hardware mode to make some serious improvements for the next run🤙😎. I love hardware mode😉. Background/Repetitive Nonsense The strain line up on this grow is look’n quite saucy 😈. We’ve got 2 FB strains this time around - Gorilla Cookies (seems we always have some GSC cross in the works). Mainly because the colours look stellar and remind me of a sugar breathe we did last year that was 🔥. The other FB is their original Cheese strain... because we already smoked all our cheese... and we really like our cheese...😉. Emerald triangle was kind enough to include a freebie of Lemon Haze. Wasn’t really big on the list but we haven’t done a haze strain to write home about yet so worth a go👍. The last is a Cherry auto from Bomb seeds that we’ve been trying to get to for months. Let’s just hope that she’s not a dud like the last bean. The new digs for this run are courtesy MarsHydro👊. Their 2x4 single grow tent, paired with a shiny new 240w QB courtesy ViparSpectra. These folks were kind enough to discuss a collaboration and as a result, here we are to test out the gear with an inaugural run of autos. Each week, we’ll try to expand on some of the benefits of each, as well as any limiting factors or considerations that need attention when pondering purchase. Already I can say that both are high quality products in terms of overall craftsmanship. MarsHydro 2x4 Grow Tent: Excellent construction in terms of durability. Reinforced stitching on the zippers and corners ensures zero tearing. Conveniently placed screen vents and intake/exhaust ports. The ceiling exhaust port only exists on the right side. Perfect for me but not great if you’re running exhaust from the top on the left side (left side wall port makes up for this however). The aluminum frame is rigid enough to support the weight of the lights and accessories. Once you have some weight in the tent, she’s go’n nowhere and you can assemble and break it down in record time if moving or stashing the grow op. Only limiting factors I’ve noticed is that temp. Control will be an issue for a tent. It just doesn’t have the same insulating ability as a wood cabinet or other permanent enclosed space. No worries, this is offset by a small desktop heater and keeps the environment exactly where desired. The other issue was a production problem - the ceiling vent was accidentally stitched into the corner seams on the assembly line. Again, no real issue - just pulled it out with no damage or fraying to the tent or port👍.

Closest comparable to it that I’ve seen would be spiderfarmers line of qbs. They feature the same top-o-the-line components and roughly similar spectrums. Where VS takes the advantage is in the convenience of the dimmer nob which is easily accessible and works great at 50% with no strobing👍. The heat sink is also larger which contributes to lower temps. That’s not a good thing in my case but beneficial for most folks. I can already say that this will be a great fixture through all stages of growth. Where I know this light will excel will be in the veg. Stage for sure. Dimming function gives seedlings a much better chance of success with the ability to use lower lighting levels early on and the coverage area on a 240w is great. The average grower will find this panel suitable and fitting to their needs in a 2x4 grow space although I’d suggest 2 units if going any larger than that. The total output in this space equates to about 30w/sq.ft. Which is a decent amount of coverage based on power vs. Growprint. Ideal for veg. Certainly but, in flower - I tend to run closer to 50-60w/sq.ft to achieve higher yields. Again, similar fixtures have performed admirably in the past and while this wouldn’t be considered an “entry-level” fixture, I’d recommend that any grower new to the game not skimp on lighting and start with one of these. The price points are a great value for quality LED tech. These days, so there’s little reason to even consider a lesser fixture👍. I have no detail on limiting factors for this light as yet but have heard that stock branded fixtures don’t necessarily incorporate enough red diodes. I’ve seen no issue myself but confess - I’m no lighting guru.

Fed nutes at 6.3 pH. Runoff was close to 7 pH. Other than that they look like they're doing well. Very sticky and very fragrant. The leaves of the CBD Blue Shark are a nice dark shiny green. The Wedding Cake is lighter. The profiles of both are starting to come out in the flowers. The CBD Blue Shark has these long, dramatic white pistils. The Wedding Cake is starting to show its creamy colouration with red hairs mixing in with the white and looking very delicious. The smell is incredible in there now. Fruity and creamy and delicious.

Two 27 gallon RDWC system, was initially for two plants but after issues with germination and this seed sprouting exceptionally fast, I decided to commit to this one. Two 1000 watt LEDs, one Bloom/Veg switch, one full spectrum with brightness knob. Have third that is bloom/veg switch 600w to put in middle over reservoir when growing two. 8" net pots to allow more spaced out root system in such a big container with 4 air stones. 1110GPH air pump, with 4 air stones to each tote, 70GPH water pump. Initially top fed, until roots are developed enough.

22.06.25. Day 53 Buds are fattening up. In Purple Haze it is much quicker due to its short week grow time. You can see where the branch broke and recovered. Amazing! Ztrawberriez is drinking lots of water daily, maybe 2-3 liters. Heat wave predicted this week.

2019.01.05 - ShishkaBerry Clones Day 97 / Flowering Day 45. Looks like about 2-3 weeks to to go AND THEY SMELL AMAZING! I had a brush with nutrient burn a few days ago but they're recovering nicely. These are very hardy plants, very strong and healthy. Most of the colas are about 15 inches (38 cm) tall, but #5 is 23 inches (58 cm) and it's on the verge of falling over due to the weight (YAY!!) Some of the pistils are starting to brown & I've given them their final haircut. As this is my first "real" grow, I'm not sure how to estimate what the final yield may be but I'm hoping for 50 grams per plant per the clone producer. 2019.01.09 - ShishkaBerry Clones Day 101 / Flowering Day 49 (video) - two of them are top heavy to the point I've rigged a little cord around the stalks and Velcro-anchored them to the wall. I find that the trichomes of this strain are much smaller than the unknown bagseed I last grew. Do they naturally vary by strains or have I done something wrong?

Added Exhale c02 and top dressed in each pot with 1 tablespoon per gallon of growing medium my pots are 3.6. I added 3 tablespoons. It is my hopes that with adding the slow release dry amendments and once the c02 bag sarts growing my plants will finally grow. They are short but have 4 nodes at day 21. What is an exhale c02 bag? “The ExHale bag is a patented strain of mycelium that produces an abundance of CO2 without fruiting. This means that when our bag is activated, the mycelium grows, eating the substrate it comes with, giving off heaps of CO2 straight into your garden, and it does all this for 6 months - guaranteed!” At day 25 I am not impressed with the size of these girls? Hope they hit a growth spurt soon? Their internodes are stacked very nicely. At day 28 growth is very slow. Practically none existent since my top dressing at day 23. 2 plants have received a very minimal nutrient burn. As I do not have a soil ph tester? I will be watering with a ph of 6.0 rather than 6.5, hopefully that helps. ONWARD!

Que hay de nuevo familia, os traigo la actualización de la semana de nuestras crazy cookies, increíble el tamaño que están alcanzando los centrales, hay que tener bastante cuidado con los nutrientes, si te pasas un poco te lo harán saber. Tienen un olor bastante peculiar, estas últimas semanas desarrollará todos sus terpenos. Ph seguimos controlándolo alrededor de 6.5 temperatura algo elevará y humedad perfecta por debajo de los 40%. No creo que tarden mucho en estar siguen engordando y formando esas flores, la semana que viene veremos cómo avanzan fumetillas.

These girls are getting close to harvest. Calyx closed & swelling up, most of the pistills turned orange/brown & are starting to curl in. Waiting on delivery of a new 60× microscope to check the trichomes , buds are very frosty. Have stopped feeding nutrients & have started flushing with plain ph'd water. Then reduced watering to twice a day so there not taking in as much moisture before harvest. Probably starve them of water completely for a couple of days to bring out more moisture, & apparently THC. A lot of smell about them. Very sticky!

The blackberry moonrocks is still doing great they are the biggest plants in the tent I have a feeling they are going to be super stars I'm hoping they stack nicely and not branch out to much the main stems have a dark color starting so maybe we will get black leaves The day has come and it's time to flip these ladies to flower. I was planning on letting them go untill Friday and let the smaller ones grow just a bit more but they will be fine. I have the eternity cup contest in mind and I'm thinking timing so I need to get these lady done and out my tent lol. This past week I turned the light up alot getting them ready to flower they have grown a bunch inhavendone lst maybe 5 it 6 times on the branchs and they arw nit bendy anymore that will help durring flower.

Last girl standing is Amnesia Zkittles and she’s one of the prettiest plants I’ve seen 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩. Unfortunately there was a fair bit of rot but the weather has been awful so I expected it. Outdoor growing is always a gamble I’m prepared to loose. So all good 🌱

Diese Woche bekommen die Kleinen erstmals Plagron Power Roots. An Tag 3 dieser Woche sind sie 7,5, 7 und 5cm hoch. Die Kleinste wurde etwas tiefer eingepflanzt, wächst aber auch etwas kompakter als die anderen. Weiß nicht ob es daran liegt. In dieser Woche wird umgetopft und das erste Topping durchgeführt. Es bleibt nur eine Pflanze im Zelt. Die Auserwählte kommt direkt in den finalen Topf. An Tag 7 wurden die Pflanzen getoppt. Der Plan war erst eine Pflanze auf 60x60 zu growen, Demnächst werden die 3 aber in ein 80x80 Zelt umziehen.

Día 44 (15/07) Wow! No hay shock de trasplante! 😍💥😁 Todas las ramas se han estirado hacia arriba tras el ajuste de LST y se están formando nuevos nodos rápidamente Esta combinación de nutrientes de Lurpe + substrato de PRO-MIX HP es una maravilla 😍 Día 45 (16/07) Ayer tuvimos ola de calor (37 ºC) y han aguantado muy bien! A última hora de la tarde (cuando ya no había sol directo) les apliqué H2O en spray foliarmente para refrescar los estomas Hoy parece que vuelven las temperaturas estándar para esta época del año: 29 - 30 ºC en las horas centrales del día Riego con 1 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 46 (17/07) Pequeños ajustes de LST Hay algunas ramas inferiores que no se han formado / estirado mucho Lo más probable es que haga una buena limpieza este domingo, 7 días después del trasplante, para dejar solo los brotes por encima del 4º nudo Día 47 (18/07) Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Este domingo (día 50) haré limpieza de partes bajas y tal vez también de nuevo topping en las 4-6 ramas principales 😁 Día 48 (19/07) Día de muchísimo calor con 37 ºC. A ver como lo llevan! Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 49 (20/07) Para ayudarles a llevar mejor el calor de las horas centrales del día, coloca una malla de sombreo (70%) sobre el invernadero Lo cierto es que se nota que baja mucho la temperatura debajo de la malla! Van a estar más fresquitas! 😍 Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 50 (21/07) Training session! Hago limpieza del tercio inferior de la planta, de todas las ramas y nudos que no superan la línea del dosel marcada por el 4º nudo (1er topping) También hago topping (2º) a todas las ramas principales La idea es tener 12 ó 14 colas principales para que no se hagan muy altas De paso saco unos cuantos clones de las ramas inferiores eliminadas 😁💥 Para superar el estrés, hago las siguientes aplicaciones y riego: - Riego con 1 Litro de Té Vegetativo de Lurpe Solutions. Preparación: 24 horas con bomba de aire (oxigenación) con ingredientes: Green Sunrise 8 ml/L + Insect Frass 16 ml/L + Hummus Lombriz 8 ml/L + Melaza 1 ml/L + Kelp Hidrolizado 0,25 g/L - Aplicación foliar Kelp hidrolizado de Lurpe Solutions a 0,25 ml/l 💦Nutrients by Lurpe Solutions - www.lurpenaturalsolutions.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

They are growing very well, and I have bend them quite a lot. Made some mistakes and break some branches like 2/3 on each...I put some rubber tape on them hoping it will go on, but I got a good feeling for that. They got a nice shape and are just getting some signes of flowering. I have also cut like 2 or 3 Big leaves by plant, i Hope it'll be ok for them.

🥒 Project Blue Tent – Week 6 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Pheno B (Folder 14B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If you're joining the adventure for the first time, welcome! Project Blue Tent follows four individual plants, each documented in its own dedicated diary from seed to harvest. Every plant grows under the exact same lighting, environment, irrigation schedule, nutrition and care. By keeping every variable consistent, we can truly appreciate how each phenotype develops its own unique character while also seeing the impressive uniformity that modern F1 genetics can offer. Today we're checking in with Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant B. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Six – A Sea of Green This week the Blue Tent has become exactly what I imagined when this project first began. Instead of four individual plants competing for attention, the canopy is slowly merging into one beautiful sea of green. One small adjustment changed the appearance of the entire tent. Although Plant B measured around 66 cm or so in last week's report, I decided to lower and tighten the SCROG net across the whole tent. That means all four ladies are now sitting at approximately 60 cm, allowing every centimetre of new growth to be directed horizontally through the screen instead of vertically. That's the real objective now. We're no longer chasing height. We're building surface area. Every branch tucked beneath the screen today becomes another future flowering site tomorrow, and every empty square that disappears brings us one step closer to a perfectly even canopy. Plant B continues embracing this process beautifully. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Pickle Lemon Haze F1 – Plant B This phenotype continues showing the same personality she's displayed since the beginning. She's wonderfully balanced. While her sister naturally wants to stretch, Plant B seems perfectly happy expanding outward, producing a dense framework filled with healthy side branches. The recovery after topping now feels like a distant memory. Every new shoot is developing with confidence, and the canopy is becoming fuller with each passing day. The stems continue thickening, the internodal spacing remains compact, and perhaps my favourite observation of all... The foliage. The leaves have developed that rich, healthy green colour every grower loves to see. It's the kind of colour that quietly tells you the plant is comfortable. Comfortable roots. Comfortable environment. Comfortable nutrition. Sometimes healthy plants don't need dramatic stories. They simply grow. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ The Beauty of SCROG Every day begins almost the same way. Open the tent. Look across the canopy. Find a few branches reaching above the screen. Guide them gently into the next empty square. Done. It's one of those techniques that rewards patience far more than force. There are no dramatic bends or stressful training sessions. Just small daily adjustments that slowly transform individual plants into one unified canopy. Looking across the Blue Tent now, it's becoming harder to tell where one plant finishes and another begins. That's exactly what a healthy SCROG should look like. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment The environment continues providing exactly what these ladies need. Average conditions remained: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 30°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 58% • 🥥 Root Zone Temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 18°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.92 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: Approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • 💧 Irrigation: 1.2 litres per plant per day Despite the warm weather outside, stable conditions inside the tent continue allowing the plants to recover effortlessly from training while maintaining vigorous vegetative growth. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding & Irrigation One thing I've learned over the years is that consistency often produces better results than constant adjustments. Since increasing the feeding slightly a couple of weeks ago, the plants have responded exactly as I hoped. The richer green colour has returned, growth remains vigorous, and there are no signs suggesting the recipe needs changing. Current feeding schedule: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L Each plant continues receiving approximately 1.2 litres of nutrient solution every day through the Mars Hydro automatic drip irrigation system. The automatic drainage system removes the runoff beneath the grow bags, preventing nutrient buildup around the roots while keeping the growing area remarkably clean. It's one of those systems that quietly does its job every day while making the entire grow more consistent. ──────────────────────── 📸 Looking Closer – Discovering a Different World One of the greatest joys of documenting these diaries has nothing to do with nutrients or training. It's photography. More specifically... Macro photography. Most people look at a cannabis plant and see leaves. A macro lens tells a completely different story. Suddenly the stems become covered in thousands of tiny protective hairs. The beautiful purple pigmentation running through the branches begins revealing itself in incredible detail. Young leaves show delicate textures that are almost impossible to appreciate with the naked eye. Even the smallest leaf veins become intricate natural patterns. The more time I spend behind the camera, the more I realise how much beauty exists in places we normally overlook. Macro photography has changed the way I walk through the grow room. It slows me down. Instead of simply checking on the plants, I find myself truly observing them. Every stem. Every new leaf. Every tiny detail nature has quietly been creating all along. Growing teaches patience. Macro photography teaches appreciation. Together they've made me enjoy this hobby even more than I already did. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Looking Ahead The mission for next week remains simple. Continue filling the SCROG. Maintain the stable environment. Trust the process. The canopy is becoming flatter every day, and with each branch finding its own place beneath the screen, the excitement for flowering continues to grow. There is still plenty of work ahead. But there is absolutely no rush. Healthy plants reward patience. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these outstanding Pickle Lemon Haze F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for providing the Premium Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line that continues producing vigorous growth and beautifully healthy plants week after week. A special thank you to Phytonaut for the outstanding LED lighting, delivering compact growth, incredible structure and a wonderfully even canopy throughout the Blue Tent. A sincere thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that has brought consistency, cleanliness and simplicity to every day inside the grow room. Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing growers around the world with a place to document their journeys, share knowledge and continue inspiring one another. And finally... Thank you to every one of you following Project Blue Tent. Whether you've been here since germination, recently discovered these diaries, leave comments every week or quietly follow along from the background, your support truly means the world to me. Every week these plants teach me something new. I hope, through these diaries, they're teaching a little something to all of us. Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and I'll see you all soon. 🌱💙

10.06.2023 RACCOLTO_RED HOT COOKIES Sweet Seeds 🌱 142 giorni dal seme 🌼 70 giorni fioritura ⚖️ 2895 grammi non secchi totale di 4 piante Tutto è andato per il meglio in questa corsa. Le 4 piante di Red hot cookies si sono dimostrate veramente forti. Colori stupendi a fine fioritura, non rossi come speravo, profumo di terra, dolcezza e aspro mescolati con note di gas, un profilo terpenico molto interessante. Lo scrog effettuato da me, non credo abbia dato il massimo potenziale di queste piante, con il tempo migliorerò anche questo aspetto, ma spero di stare su 1 hg a pianta di media. Aggiornamento a breve con peso a secco, foto dei fiori ripuliti e rapporto sulla potenza di questa varietà. Ringrazio tutti quelli che sono passati a vedere il mio diario, a tutti i like i commenti e ai consigli.. un grande love a tutta la community di growdiaries 💚🙏

This pheno was certainly on roids. The strain being from an autoflower just outpaced every other plant by at least 2 weeks. It produced a whopping 8 ounces. The colors gave an alien reddish purple glow as if it were from mars. The aroma was that of blueberry cacao, a totally unique chocolatey profile.
