Pheno B Blue Waffle F1 Zamnesia

DogDoctorOfficial Folder 13 — Blue Waffle — Pheno B Week 1 Vegetation — Building Foundations Hello growers, Welcome back to another update from the Zamnesia Tent project. As mentioned in the previous entries, this grow is being documented slightly differently than my usual diaries. Rather than grouping plants together, each phenotype receives its own individual journal. This allows us to follow every plant from seed to harvest and observe how different expressions develop, even when they share the exact same environment, feeding schedule, and care. Today we continue with Blue Waffle Pheno B, another young lady taking her first steps into vegetation. At this stage, the story is not about explosive growth or massive plants. It is about building healthy roots, establishing structure, and creating the foundation that everything else will grow from later. ⸻ The Environment Week 1 focused on consistency. The Zamnesia ecosystem maintained stable conditions throughout the week, providing an ideal environment for young seedlings to establish themselves. Environmental conditions averaged: * Temperature: 26°C * Relative Humidity: 71% Lighting was intentionally introduced at a slightly higher intensity than many seedling schedules typically recommend. The LED fixture was operated at 27% power, drawing approximately 86 watts from the wall and producing a measured PPFD of roughly 250 µmol/m²/s at canopy level. Part of this project is observing how these genetics respond when provided with strong but controlled environmental conditions from the very beginning. Airflow was supplied by: * Zamnesia extraction fan: Level 5 * Circulation fan: Level 4 This provided gentle air movement throughout the tent while maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels. ⸻ Feeding Program This week also marked the beginning of the feeding program. While the seedlings initially received only rainwater during their earliest days, they have now started receiving their first nutrient solution consisting of: * Plagron Hydro A * Plagron Hydro B * Plagron Hydro Roots Mixed to: * EC: 1.53 mS/cm * pH: 5.96 * Water temperature: 24.2°C The goal is not maximum growth at this stage, but rather creating a healthy root environment and preparing the plants for the transition into coco next week. So far, Blue Waffle Pheno B appears to be responding very positively. ⸻ Preparing For Coco A major part of this week’s work happened behind the scenes. The Plagron Premium Grow Bags were filled and hydrated in preparation for transplanting. Instead of saturating the coco all at once, hydration is being performed gradually using a reservoir-fed drip system. This slow approach allows the coco to absorb water evenly and expand naturally throughout the bag. Only distilled water was used during this preparation process. The seedlings remain in their starter containers for now, but next week they will move into their final coco homes and begin the next stage of development. ⸻ Blue Waffle Pheno B If Pheno A gave the impression of a compact and balanced seedling, Pheno B is proving to be every bit as promising. At this stage the similarities between the sisters are striking. Growth remains compact with very tight internodal spacing, producing a low and sturdy structure. The plant is finishing the week progressing into its third set of true leaves, and overall development appears healthy and symmetrical. Leaf coloration is vibrant and consistent throughout the plant, while new growth emerges clean and vigorous. The stem remains strong relative to its size and is already supporting the developing canopy comfortably. One thing that stands out is how confidently this phenotype is stacking growth despite its young age. Rather than stretching toward the light, the plant is focusing its energy on building a dense and compact structure. For a first week seedling, there is very little to criticize. The overall impression is simply one of health, stability, and potential. Sometimes a plant catches your attention because it is unusual. Sometimes it catches your attention because everything is simply going right. At this stage, Blue Waffle Pheno B belongs firmly in the second category. ⸻ Looking Ahead Next week should bring one of the most important milestones of the early grow. The move into the hydrated Plagron coco grow bags will provide a dramatically larger root zone and mark the beginning of full development inside the new medium. It will be interesting to see whether Pheno B continues to mirror her sister or begins revealing more of her own unique characteristics. For now, everything is moving exactly as planned. Healthy roots. Healthy leaves. Healthy growth. A strong beginning. ⸻ Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following along and supporting these diaries. Special thanks to: * Zamnesia for the genetics, equipment, and support that helped make this project possible. * Plagron for providing the nutrients and growing media used throughout this run. * The GrowDiaries team for offering a platform where growers can document, learn, and share their experiences. * And of course, the incredible growing community whose knowledge, feedback, and encouragement continue to inspire growers around the world. The journey has only just begun. See you next week as Blue Waffle Pheno B takes her first step into coco and continues her adventure. Growers Love and Happy growing 🌱💙🍁

DogDoctorOfficial 🌱 Blue Waffle F1 – Photoperiod – Phenotype B Week 2 – A New Home, Strong Roots, Endless Potential Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another update from Project Blue Tent! 💚 Today we’re checking in on Blue Waffle F1 – Photoperiod – Phenotype B, one of the beautiful ladies growing under a traditional 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. This week was a major milestone in her journey as she officially moved into her permanent home inside a Plagron Premium Coco Grow Bag. The seedling stage is now behind her, and from this point forward she’ll begin building the root system and structure that will support everything to come. Judging by her response so far, she’s loving every moment of it. ⸻ 🏡 Transplant Day After spending the last week preparing the grow bags, the coco was fully hydrated before transplant day arrived. Rather than digging an oversized hole, I used the original nursery pot to create a perfectly sized cavity inside the hydrated coco. This simple technique allows the root ball to slide directly into place while maintaining maximum contact between the soil and the surrounding coco. Once everything was ready, I gently removed the plant from her starter pot. One careful movement… One healthy root ball… One happy grower. The transplant went exactly as planned. ⸻ 🌱 Healthy Roots Tell the Whole Story Before placing her into the new home, I always like taking a look at the roots. They weren’t massive… They didn’t need to be. Instead, they were exactly what I hoped to see. Bright white roots wrapped beautifully around the entire root ball, with plenty of fine feeder roots actively searching for more space. There were no signs of root binding, discoloration or stress. The roots held the soil together perfectly while still looking young and incredibly active. Healthy roots are one of the best indicators that a plant is ready for transplant, and Phenotype B certainly passed that test with flying colours. ⸻ 🥥 The Move Into Coco With the transplant complete, Blue Waffle F1 Phenotype B officially begins the next stage of her life inside Plagron Premium Coco. Over the following days she showed virtually no signs of transplant stress. No drooping. No yellowing. No slowing down. Instead, fresh growth continued almost immediately, proving the roots adapted quickly to their new environment. That smooth transition is exactly what every grower hopes for. ⸻ 🌿 Vegetative Growth Phenotype B is developing into a compact, symmetrical young plant with excellent structure. Her internodal spacing remains tight, giving her a sturdy appearance, while the stem continues becoming thicker every day. The newest growth is vibrant and healthy, with the slightly lighter green colour that naturally accompanies rapidly developing tissue. Leaf posture remains relaxed, indicating she’s comfortable with both the environment and her feeding schedule. At this stage, she’s building the foundation that will eventually support an abundant canopy later in the grow. ⸻ 💧 Feeding Program Now that she’s established inside the coco, feeding continues using the Plagron Hydro line. Current nutrient solution: • Plagron Hydro A • Plagron Hydro B • Plagron Hydro Roots The goal during this early vegetative stage is simple: Build roots first. Everything else follows. Hydro Roots continues stimulating vigorous root development while Hydro A & B provide the balanced nutrition required for steady, healthy vegetative growth. Sometimes simplicity really is the best strategy. ⸻ 📊 Feeding Parameters Current nutrient solution: • EC: 1.26 mS/cm • pH: 5.83 • Solution Temperature: 23.1°C These values place the nutrient solution right where I like it for young plants growing in coco. The EC provides enough nutrition to encourage strong growth without overwhelming the developing root system, while the pH sits comfortably inside the optimal uptake range. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions The grow room remained very stable throughout the week. Current conditions: • Temperature: 29°C • Relative Humidity: 68% Although temperatures are slightly warm, maintaining a higher relative humidity helps young plants stay comfortable by reducing unnecessary transpiration while the roots establish themselves inside the larger growing medium. Consistency remains one of the most important ingredients for healthy development. Happy plants love stable environments. ⸻ 🚀 Looking Ahead With the transplant now complete, the focus shifts toward root expansion. Over the coming week I expect the roots to rapidly colonize the surrounding coco, allowing nutrient uptake to increase and vegetative growth to accelerate. As the plant continues developing under the 18/6 light schedule, she’ll begin building the strong framework that will eventually support training and, later on, a productive flowering phase. Everything is progressing exactly as planned, and I’m excited to watch her personality continue to unfold. ⸻ 💚 Final Thoughts Every great harvest starts with a healthy beginning. Strong roots create strong stems. Strong stems support strong branches. And strong branches eventually produce beautiful flowers. Blue Waffle F1 Phenotype B has settled beautifully into her new home, and all the signs point toward a vigorous, healthy plant with plenty of potential still to reveal. The journey is only getting started, and I can’t wait to see what she has in store over the coming weeks. ⸻ 🙏 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this journey and sharing the passion for growing. Special thanks to Zamnesia for the incredible Blue Waffle F1 genetics and the ecosystem. Thank you to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Grow Bags together with the outstanding Hydro nutrient line that’s powering this grow from the very beginning. And finally, thank you to every company, every sponsor, every member of this amazing community, and every grower who stops by to leave a comment, share advice, or simply follow along. Your support means more than you know. Until next week… Happy growing, and take care! 🌱💚

DogDoctorOfficial 💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 3 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from Project Blue Tent! For those joining this journey for the first time, this project follows four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia, each documented in its own diary from seed to harvest. Although they all share the exact same environment, nutrients, and growing conditions, every plant is allowed to tell its own story and reveal its own unique expression. Everything in this tent is built around the Zamnesia ecosystem, while the ladies are growing inside Plagron Premium Coco Growbags and being fed exclusively with the Plagron Hydro nutrient line. Today we’re taking a closer look at Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B. ⸻ 🌱 Week Three – Building Momentum Week three has been another very encouraging one. Plant B has settled beautifully into her coco home and has noticeably increased her pace of growth throughout the week. She began this update as a compact young plant, but over the last several days she’s filled out nicely, producing larger fan leaves and noticeably stronger apical growth. Her structure remains short and sturdy, with tight internodal spacing and excellent symmetry. The side branches are beginning to develop with confidence, giving an early indication that she’ll produce a well-balanced canopy in the weeks ahead. One detail that immediately catches my attention is how vigorous the newest growth appears. Every day the center becomes denser, showing that the roots are now well established and supporting increasingly rapid development. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions One of the goals with Project Blue Tent is consistency. The entire ecosystem continues to perform exactly as intended, maintaining a stable environment throughout the week while the Phytonaut LED provides an even light distribution across the canopy. Average conditions this week were: * 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative humidity: 67% * ⚗️ pH: 5.8 * ⚡ EC: 1.61 mS/cm * 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm * 💡 Light schedule: 18/6 * ☀️ PPFD: approximately 350 At this intensity the plants receive plenty of energy to encourage compact vegetative growth without unnecessary stretching, while the stable environment allows them to focus entirely on developing healthy roots and foliage. ⸻ 🥥 Feeding Adjustments Coming from years of growing almost exclusively in living soil, growing in coco has definitely become an enjoyable learning experience. This week all four plants began showing a slightly lighter shade of green than I normally like to see. Nothing dramatic or concerning, but enough to tell me they were ready for a little more nutrition. Instead of waiting for deficiencies to develop, I prefer making gradual adjustments before the plants begin struggling. For that reason I increased the base feeding schedule. Current nutrition now consists of: * Plagron Hydro A — 1.6 ml/L * Plagron Hydro B — 1.6 ml/L * Plagron Hydro Roots — maintained at the previous dosage This small increase raised the EC slightly and should provide enough additional nitrogen and overall nutrition for the foliage to regain a richer green over the coming week. Every grow teaches something new, and coco rewards small, measured corrections rather than aggressive changes. ⸻ 🚿 The Unexpected Flood No grow is ever completely free of surprises. This week mine arrived in the form of an irrigation mishap. After switching on the irrigation system, one small mistake resulted in the tent flooding far more than planned. Thankfully, it looked much worse than it actually was. The first step was simply shutting everything down, grabbing a pile of towels, cleaning the tent thoroughly and checking that every component was still working correctly. Fortunately, because these plants are growing in coco, the situation remained under control. Coco retains excellent oxygen levels even after heavy watering, making it much more forgiving than traditional soil in situations like this. After allowing everything to dry back slightly, normal irrigation resumed without any visible stress to the plants. Sometimes growing isn’t about avoiding mistakes. It’s about solving them calmly when they happen. We’re already working on a permanent improvement for the irrigation setup, and I’ll happily share that solution once everything is installed in the coming weeks. ⸻ 🌿 Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B This phenotype is developing into a very attractive little plant. She has a sturdy central stem, broad leaves, and compact spacing between nodes, giving her a naturally bushy appearance even without any training. The petioles are beginning to show subtle reddish-purple pigmentation, while the newest leaves emerge with beautiful vigor before gradually maturing into the larger fan leaves. Although her colour is still a touch lighter than my personal preference, her posture tells the real story. Leaves are reaching upward. Growth is continuous. The plant looks happy. Sometimes plants communicate much more through their posture than through their colour alone, and Plant B certainly appears eager to keep growing. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should be an exciting milestone. With the feeding now adjusted and the roots continuing to colonize the entire growbag, I expect noticeably faster vegetative growth and stronger lateral branching. I’ll continue monitoring leaf colour, growth rate and overall structure while preparing these ladies for the next stage of development. Every week they seem to reveal a little more of their individual personalities, and I’m excited to see exactly where Plant B takes us from here. ⸻ 💙 Thank You A huge thank you goes to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these fantastic Blue Waffle 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 is helping these plants thrive. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document their journeys, exchange ideas, and learn from one another every single day. And finally, thank you to every single person following along. Whether you’ve been here since the very beginning, recently discovered these diaries, leave comments every week, quietly observe from the background, or simply enjoy watching these plants develop, your support is genuinely appreciated. This project is about sharing the complete journey—the successes, the unexpected challenges, 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! 🌱💙 P.S. One final shout-out has to go to the Zamnesia ecosystem itself. As messy as the irrigation mishap looked, the Zamnesia tent tray proved exactly why it’s part of the setup. Every drop of water was safely contained inside the tent, with absolutely nothing leaking onto the floor. What could have become a much bigger problem ended up being nothing more than grabbing a few towels, drying everything up, and carrying on with the grow. Sometimes you only discover how valuable a piece of equipment is when something goes wrong—and this week, the tray passed that test with flying colours. Huge thanks to Zamnesia for designing an ecosystem that’s ready for real-world growing, not just the perfect days. 💙🌱

DogDoctorOfficial 💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 4 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from Project Blue Tent! For anyone joining us for the first time, this project follows four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia, each documented in its own diary from seed to harvest. Although they all live inside the exact same environment, receive the same nutrition, grow under the same lights and experience the same conditions every single day, every plant is allowed to tell her own story. That's one of the things I love most about growing from seed. We're not simply growing four plants. We're discovering four different personalities. Everything inside this tent is built around the Zamnesia ecosystem, while the ladies are growing in Plagron Premium Coco Growbags and being fed exclusively with the Plagron Hydro nutrient line. Today it's time to spend some quality time with Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B. ⸻ 🌱 Week Four – Small Plant, Big Potential This week felt like another important milestone for Plant B. While she remains slightly more compact than her sister, she's developing exactly the way I hoped she would. Her internodal spacing stays beautifully tight, the side branches continue to stack evenly around the main stem, and the overall structure is incredibly symmetrical. Rather than stretching upwards, she's investing her energy into building a strong foundation first. Personally, I love seeing this type of growth. Plants like these often become a dream to train later on because they're naturally dense, balanced and eager to fill every available space once they're encouraged to branch out. The stem continues to thicken nicely, while subtle purple pigmentation is becoming more noticeable on the petioles and main branches, adding another little touch of personality to this phenotype. ⸻ 🌡️ The Blue Tent Environment One of the biggest goals with Project Blue Tent is maintaining consistency. By keeping every environmental factor as stable as possible, the differences we observe come primarily from the plants themselves rather than changing conditions. This week's average environmental conditions were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 67% • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.88 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • ☀️ PPFD: approximately 350 The Zamnesia Phytonaut LED continues providing a beautiful, even light distribution across the entire canopy while the Grow Environment Controller keeps everything running smoothly throughout the day. Stable conditions allow the plants to focus on one thing... Growing. ⸻ 🥥 Feeding Update – Learning Coco One Week at a Time One thing that really caught my attention this week was the overall leaf colour. Just like her sister, Plant B remains incredibly healthy, but she's showing a lighter shade of green than I personally like to see. Fortunately, plants are excellent communicators. Before deficiencies become serious, they often give subtle hints that they're ready for a little more nutrition, and I believe that's exactly what these ladies were telling me. Rather than waiting for problems to develop, I decided to make a gradual adjustment. The feeding schedule is now: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.8 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.8 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L I also introduced a small amount of Plagron pH Min to help keep the reservoir perfectly stable over longer periods. One thing that has genuinely impressed me throughout this grow is just how stable the Plagron Hydro line has been. Once the reservoir is mixed and dialled in, the pH barely moves throughout the entire week. Occasionally it may require the smallest correction, but compared to what I expected when starting coco, the stability has honestly been outstanding. Coming from years of growing in living soil, I'm really enjoying learning how responsive and predictable coco can be when small adjustments are made instead of large corrections. Growing really is one continuous learning experience. ⸻ ✂️ Topping Day – Building Tomorrow's Canopy This week also marked Plant B's first High Stress Training session. She received her very first topping. Unlike Low Stress Training, where branches are gently bent into position, topping intentionally removes the plant's main growing tip to interrupt apical dominance. By doing this, the plant redirects energy into the side branches instead of focusing almost exclusively on one central leader. Many growers choose to top much earlier, sometimes above the second or third node. Personally, I prefer allowing the plant to develop a little longer before making that first cut. Waiting gives me a stronger stem, additional secondary branches and, most importantly, many more growing tips to work with later. My goal isn't simply to create two tops. My goal is to build the framework that will eventually fill an entire SCROG net. Everything we're doing today is preparing these plants for the weeks ahead. Because topping is considered High Stress Training, timing is important. I only perform it on vigorous, actively growing plants that are showing strong health. Although the foliage is still a lighter green than I'd ideally like, Plant B's posture, growth rate and overall vigour clearly showed she was more than ready for the procedure. The cut itself was made using my Zamnesia Pruning Scissors, giving a clean, precise cut with minimal tissue damage. Sometimes the smallest tools make the biggest difference. ⸻ 🌿 Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B The more time I spend watching this phenotype, the more I appreciate her personality. She's compact. She's balanced. She's methodical. Rather than racing upwards, she seems determined to build a solid foundation first. Every branch appears evenly spaced, the stem continues gaining strength, and even after topping she looks completely unfazed. It's always fascinating how two sister plants can respond so similarly while still expressing their own unique character. Plant B feels like the quiet achiever. She's simply getting on with the job. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Next week should be a very exciting one. With the feeding now increased and the topping behind her, I'll be watching closely to see how quickly the two new leaders begin taking over. I'm expecting the canopy to start opening naturally as the side branches accelerate and the overall structure becomes wider. Over the coming weeks we'll continue shaping these ladies, preparing them for the SCROG while allowing each phenotype to reveal more of its own personality. The adventure is only just beginning. ⸻ 💙 Thank You A huge thank you goes to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these fantastic Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A heartfelt thank you as well to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line that continues teaching me something new every single week. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers from around the world a place to document their journeys, learn from one another and build such an incredible community. And finally... Thank you to every single person following along. Whether you've been here since day one, recently discovered these diaries, leave comments every week, quietly observe from the background or simply enjoy watching these plants develop, your support truly means a lot. I hope you're all having an amazing week, and I can't wait to show you how these beautiful ladies continue evolving in the next update. Until then... Growers Love, happy growing, and I'll see you all next week. 🌱💙 P.S. One thing I love about documenting every single step is that these diaries become more than simple grow logs. Hopefully someone who has never topped a plant before can look at this week's photos, understand the process, see exactly where the cut was made, and feel a little more confident when the time comes to do it themselves. If these updates help even one grower become more confident with their own garden, then they've already achieved something special. 💙🌱
