DogDoctorOfficial ? Blue Waffle F1 — Pheno A
Week 1 | New Tent, New Genetics, New Adventure
Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱
Today marks the beginning of something completely new in the garden.
Not just a new genetic.
Not just a new diary.
But an entirely new growing environment built from the ground up specifically for this project.
Welcome to Blue Waffle F1 by Zamnesia Seeds.
And welcome to the first official week inside the new Zamnesia setup.
⸻
A New Beginning
This diary is part of a completely separate project from the 12/12-from-seed run many of you have been following.
While the previous garden focused on photoperiod plants grown under a strict flowering schedule from day one, this tent has a completely different objective.
For this project we’re running:
* 18/6 light schedule
* Full vegetative development
* Potential training techniques
* Possible topping
* Possible LST
* Possible Scrog
* And whatever these genetics decide to inspire along the way
For now, however, everything starts exactly where every great grow begins:
With a seed.
⸻
The Cannakan Germination System
As with many previous diaries, germination began using my trusted Cannakan system.
The concept remains wonderfully simple.
Seeds are placed inside with plain water.
Nothing more.
No nutrients.
No stimulants.
No secret ingredients.
Just water.
The objective isn’t to feed the seed.
The objective is simply to wake it up.
Nature already packed everything required for those first moments of life inside the shell itself.
For Blue Waffle F1, germination was fast and impressive.
After approximately 24 hours of soaking, the seeds had absorbed water and begun the process.
Most of the water was then removed, leaving only enough moisture to maintain ideal conditions.
Roughly 12–13 hours later, one seed had already produced a beautiful healthy taproot.
The second wasn’t far behind.
At that point both seeds were transferred into their final containers.
Sometimes plants make the decision for us.
These girls were ready.
⸻
From Root To Light
Once planted into Plagron Lightmix, development continued at an impressive pace.
Less than 24 hours later, the first seedling was already emerging above the soil surface and searching for light.
Pheno A was slightly faster from the start.
The photos clearly show her vigorous emergence and strong taproot development.
The characteristic little “tail” visible during germination quickly transformed into a healthy young seedling eager to begin growing.
Her sister wasn’t far behind.
Both seedlings established themselves quickly and showed exactly the kind of vigor we hope to see from modern F1 genetics.
⸻
Why Use A Humidity Dome?
During the first few days after emergence, both seedlings spent some time under a humidity dome.
This is something many growers choose to use during early development.
The purpose is simple:
Young seedlings possess only a very small root system.
Because they cannot yet absorb large amounts of water through the roots, maintaining slightly elevated humidity helps reduce moisture loss through the leaves.
The dome isn’t intended as a permanent environment.
It’s simply a temporary tool that helps young seedlings bridge the gap between germination and proper root establishment.
Once the plants become established, the dome is removed and normal environmental conditions take over.
The objective is adaptation.
Not dependence.
⸻
Building The New Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit
One of the highlights of this week was assembling the brand-new Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit.
Everything shown throughout this diary was built and installed by a single person.
No assistants.
No special tools.
No complicated setup.
Just patience and a free afternoon.
To my surprise, the entire installation process moved extremely quickly.
Even including:
* Tent assembly
* LED installation
* Carbon filter installation
* Inline fan setup
* Ducting
* Controller installation
* Cable management
The complete system was operational in under an hour.
If I can build it alone, most growers will have absolutely no trouble doing the same.
The instructions included are excellent, although in my particular space I ended up making a few adjustments and performing some creative grow-room gymnastics to fit everything exactly where I wanted it.
The quality of the materials immediately stood out.
The frame feels extremely solid.
In fact, during setup I jokingly tested just how sturdy it was and found it capable of handling far more abuse than most grow tents will ever experience.
First impressions have been extremely positive.
Now it’s time to see how it performs over an entire grow cycle.
⸻
What’s Included In The Kit?
For those curious about the exact setup being used throughout this project, the complete Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit includes:
* Grow Tent 100×100×200 cm
* Phytonaut LED Grow Light 320W
* 150 mm Inline Duct Fan
* 150 mm Carbon Filter
* Grow Environment Controller
* 152 mm Clip Fan
* 2 m Flexible Ducting
* 24-Hour Timer
* Rope Ratchet Hangers
* Velcro Cable Management System
Everything currently running in this tent comes directly from this package.
No substitutions.
No upgrades.
No additional equipment.
This allows us to evaluate the entire system exactly as it arrives.
⸻
Environmental Conditions
For this first week, conditions were intentionally gentle.
Light intensity was measured using a PAR meter and maintained around:
~200 PPFD
At this stage, seedlings simply do not require high-intensity lighting.
The objective is root development and healthy establishment rather than explosive growth.
The plants responded beautifully.
Healthy posture.
Good color.
Strong emergence.
And steady daily progression.
Exactly what we hope to see.
⸻
First Impressions Of Blue Waffle F1
Although still extremely young, Blue Waffle F1 has already made a positive first impression.
Fast germination.
Strong emergence.
Healthy color.
Excellent vigor.
And perhaps most importantly:
Confidence.
Some seedlings seem hesitant.
This one simply got to work.
The coming weeks will reveal much more about structure, growth rate, branching potential, and eventual terpene profile, but the opening chapter could hardly have gone much smoother.
⸻
Looking Ahead
Week 1 is always about foundations.
Roots before fruits.
Patience before training.
Observation before intervention.
Over the coming weeks we’ll continue documenting:
* Vegetative growth
* Structural development
* Environmental management
* Training decisions
* Nutrient progression
* Genetic expression
* And everything these new F1 genetics choose to reveal
For now, Blue Waffle F1 Pheno A has arrived safely, settled into her new home, and seems very happy about it.
The kingdom has officially opened its gates.
Let’s see what this little Blue Waffle decides to cook for us. ?💙🌱
Grower’s Love everyone. 💚

Week 1 Vegetation — The First Steps Into Project Blue
Welcome back, growers!
With the germination phase now behind us, it’s time to begin documenting the first true week of vegetative growth for the Zamnesia Tent project. This run is slightly different from my previous diaries, as it combines four genetics growing side-by-side inside a dedicated ecosystem built around Zamnesia equipment and Plagron nutrients.
For easier tracking and because GrowDiaries limits the number of photos per update, each plant is being documented individually from seed to harvest. This allows a closer look at how each phenotype develops over time, even when they share the exact same environment.
Blue Waffle Pheno A is the first plant stepping onto the stage.
⸻
The Environment
This week was all about creating a stable foundation.
The tent is running under the Zamnesia ecosystem, maintaining temperatures around 26°C with relative humidity averaging 71%, creating a comfortable environment for young seedlings.
Lighting was intentionally introduced stronger than many growers might expect. The LED was set to 27% output, drawing approximately 86 watts from the wall, resulting in a measured PPFD of roughly 250 µmol/m²/s at canopy level.
Some growers prefer starting lower, but part of this project is observing how modern genetics respond when provided with a slightly stronger light intensity from the beginning.
Air movement was provided by:
* Extraction fan: Level 5
* Circulation fan: Level 4
Both settings provided enough airflow to keep the environment stable without placing unnecessary stress on the young seedlings.
⸻
Feeding Strategy
Although the seedlings spent their first days receiving only rainwater, this week also marked the introduction of their first nutrient solution.
The feeding program consists of:
* Plagron Hydro A
* Plagron Hydro B
* Plagron Hydro Roots
Mixed to:
* EC: 1.53 mS/cm
* pH: 5.96
* Solution temperature: 24.2°C
The objective is not aggressive feeding but rather preparing the plants for the transition into coco while encouraging healthy root development from the beginning.
⸻
Preparing The Next Home
One of the biggest milestones this week happened outside the plant itself.
The Plagron Premium Grow Bags were filled and hydrated in preparation for next week’s transplant.
Rather than flooding the coco all at once, hydration was performed slowly using a reservoir-fed drip system. This gradual approach allows the coco to absorb moisture evenly and expand naturally throughout the grow bag.
Only distilled water was used during this hydration process.
The seedlings themselves remain in their starter containers for now, but next week they will make the move into their final coco environment and begin the next chapter of development.
⸻
Blue Waffle Pheno A
Despite being only a week into vegetation, Pheno A is already showing a personality of her own.
The first true leaves displayed a small cosmetic imperfection early on, but it appears to have been nothing more than a minor developmental quirk. All subsequent growth has emerged clean, healthy, and well formed.
What stands out most at this stage is the structure.
Internodal spacing remains very tight, producing a compact and efficient growth pattern. The plant is currently progressing into its third leaf set while maintaining a low profile and excellent symmetry.
The stem remains sturdy relative to its size, while the new growth shows a healthy green coloration without signs of nutrient stress.
At this stage there are no concerns whatsoever.
Instead, this phenotype gives the impression of a seedling focused on building a solid foundation before accelerating upward growth.
Sometimes the strongest plants are not the ones that sprint out of the gate. They are the ones that quietly build themselves correctly from the start.
Blue Waffle Pheno A is currently giving exactly that impression.
⸻
Looking Ahead
Next week should be significantly more eventful.
The planned transplant into the hydrated Plagron coco grow bags will introduce a completely new root environment, and it will be interesting to see how Blue Waffle Pheno A responds to the increased space and the fully hydroponic feeding strategy.
For now, the mission remains simple:
Healthy roots. Stable growth. Strong foundations.
Everything else comes later.
⸻

Week 2 Vegetation — A New Home Beneath the Surface
Welcome back, growers!
This week marks one of the biggest milestones since germination.
After spending the first week establishing a healthy foundation inside the starter container, Blue Waffle Pheno A has officially moved into her permanent home—a Plagron 8L Premium Coco Grow Bag, where the next stage of her journey truly begins.
Transplant day is always exciting. While the leaves tell us how a plant is feeling above the surface, it’s the roots that reveal the real story. And this week, that story was a very encouraging one.
⸻
The Environment
The Zamnesia ecosystem continues providing a stable and comfortable environment for these young ladies.
Current room conditions:
• Temperature: 29°C
• Relative Humidity: 68%
Airflow remains unchanged from last week:
• Extraction Fan: Level 5
• Circulation Fan: Level 4
Lighting also remains steady, with the LED running at 27% intensity, drawing approximately 86 watts from the wall.
At this stage, consistency is far more valuable than chasing rapid growth. Stable environmental conditions allow the plants to focus their energy where it matters most—building roots.
⸻
Feeding Program
Now that the plants have entered their coco home, the hydroponic feeding strategy officially begins.
The nutrient solution remains intentionally simple:
• Plagron Hydro A
• Plagron Hydro B
• Plagron Hydro Roots
Reservoir parameters:
• EC: 1.26 mS/cm
• pH: 5.83
• Solution Temperature: 23.1°C
Hydro Roots continues playing an important role during this stage, encouraging the rapid development of fresh roots as the plants begin colonizing their new substrate.
The objective isn’t explosive top growth just yet.
Everything starts beneath the surface.
⸻
Transplant Day
Last week the Plagron Premium Coco Grow Bags were slowly hydrated using distilled water, allowing the coco to expand evenly while creating a perfectly moist environment before receiving the plants.
Rather than forcing the transplant into a dry substrate or flooding the bags at the last moment, the coco had an entire week to stabilize.
When transplant day arrived, the process couldn’t have gone smoother.
Using the original nursery pot as a guide, I carefully created a perfectly sized cavity inside each coco bag. This simple step allows the entire root ball to slide into place naturally without compressing or disturbing the surrounding coco.
Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest difference.
A gentle transplant means less stress.
Less stress means faster recovery.
⸻
A Look Beneath the Surface
Before placing Blue Waffle Pheno A into her new home, I couldn’t resist taking a closer look at her root system.
And I’m glad I did.
While the roots haven’t completely filled the container yet, they are beautifully distributed around the entire root ball. Bright white feeder roots are visible across every side, with countless fine root hairs actively exploring the growing medium.
This is exactly what I was hoping to see.
There was no need for a heavily root-bound plant before transplanting. In fact, moving them at this stage allows the roots to continue expanding naturally instead of beginning to circle around the nursery pot.
Healthy roots don’t need to be massive.
They simply need to be active.
Blue Waffle Pheno A is giving every indication that she’s ready to explode into her new environment.
⸻
Blue Waffle Pheno A
Above the substrate, Pheno A continues to impress.
The compact structure remains intact, with tight internodal spacing and excellent symmetry across the canopy.
The leaves display a healthy green colour, while the petioles have started developing subtle purple pigmentation—a characteristic that can often appear naturally in younger plants depending on genetics and environmental conditions.
Most importantly, the plant showed virtually no signs of transplant shock.
Only a short time after moving into the coco bag, the leaves remained upright and turgid, while fresh new growth continued emerging from the center.
That’s always one of the best signs a grower can hope for after transplanting.
It means the plant is already getting comfortable in her new home.
⸻
Looking Ahead
With the transplant now behind us, the next objective is allowing the roots to colonize the entire Plagron Premium Coco Grow Bag.
As the root system expands, so too will the canopy.
The coming weeks should bring noticeably faster vegetative growth as Blue Waffle Pheno A begins taking full advantage of the increased root volume and hydroponic feeding schedule.
For now…
Healthy roots.
Healthy leaves.
Healthy future.
Exactly what every grower hopes to see.
⸻
