Growing medical marijuana has been such an amazing outlet for me. And I think that I would be in a much much worse place without having in my life as far as cultivating goes. I have formal education in horticulture specialist, however marijuana is so resilient and so strong and so willing and ready to live. But I plan to take it to its limits

💙 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. 💙🌱

31.12.24: I have been readjusting the LST pegs and wire daily. Sometimes, twice a day! (I know, too much time on my hands)! 😆 The plants have responded fantastically! I'm so glad I gave it a go. Some plants have been a bit too tall, and I snapped Do-sì-dos P3, pulling the stem down. Audibly snapped 😬I let it be, though. It seems to have healed mostly, in only 2 days. I have increased the lighting to 70%. They're getting watered a few times a week, with 1 litre of Dechlorinated water, containing the following nutrients and additives; 1ml of Biobizz Bio-Grow, 1ml Biobizz Top Max, 1ml of Biobizz Bloom, 2ml of cal-mag, 1g of Ecothrive Biosys. The plants are responding well to this concoction, so it's all good so far. The leaves are looking greener and are getting darker. Will be monitoring to continue readjusting the LST ties. Also, to monitor the increased lighting level, to make sure they can handle that yet. 1.1.25: Happy New Year! I have continued to readjust the LST wire and plant pegs. Several times a day. Coincidence would have it, I have a 6ft tropical aquarium which was time for cleaning! I always water my Acer tree in the front yard with this water, with beautiful results 😍 👌 🍁 I decided to try it out in my indoor garden. I'll post photos of before and after to see the difference, good or bad 😅 3.1.25: Plants are doing very well, except for PPP3 I'm quite disappointed in that one, as I feel like it's wasting a space. I guess I'll have to keep it, along with the Do-sì-dos that I snapped twice, which refuses to die 😅 I started to lightly defoliate, which is difficult because I always get carried away with it. I'm going to water again with the nutrients in description of this week. All in all I'm very happy with the progress, vigour and reaction to LST and defoliation. Purple Lemonade P3 is looking good 😊 4.1.25: Continuing to defoliate and adjust the LST pegs and wire. Watered today with 1ltr of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.0. With the following nutrients;- 2ml Biobizz Bloom, 4ml Biobizz Bio-Grow, 2ml Cal-Mag, 2ml Ecothrive Flourish, 0.2 g/ltr of Ecothrive Biosys. I've increased the Nitrogen by adding double the amount of Biobizz Bio-Grow. I'm trying to keep them growing for as long as possible! I really want to keep the strength up and keep the leaves nice and lush green! 💚 Purple Lemonade P3 is absolutely the prettiest plant I have ever grown,💜 😍 reminds me of my Bonsai trees 🌳 Will update here with more photos and videos. Thanks for checking out my diary 🍃 ✌️

Flowering day 3 since time change to 12 / 12 h Hey guys . My cutting heating broke 3-4 weeks ago, which was fixed immediately and everything went wonderfully. Now, 3 days ago, the central heating broke down in the entire room, so that at night I only have temperatures of around 13 degrees :-( . One or the other lady is slowly starting to see a phosphorus blockage, as this can no longer be absorbed at temperatures below 15 degrees, like many other nutrients :-( . A friend looked at the heating yesterday and came to the conclusion that a real company had to do it, which is by no means possible for a stranger to enter my room. I quickly ordered heating mats for all the boxes so that the ladies could at least get warm feet. That's all I have this winter full can do . Let's hope everything will be fine 🙏🏻. As soon as the heating mats are attached in the coming days, I will post them in the pictures. Now for the update. Despite the severe cold, the ladies are still doing well and have made good progres . The ladies only had to be watered once this week, each time with 1 l, because it absorbs the water very slowly because of the cold and I don't want to overwater it. I took every single plant in the pot to take a close look at their roots. These are snow white and look very healthy 🙏🏻. It was also the last time neem oil sprayed so that the last trips are finally gone. Otherwise everything was checked and a lot of planning was done, like I do with the heating mats. Since a friend had the same problem in one winter and the heating mats got 10 degrees plus on the pots, I am very confident that it will at least bring something for the last cold month 😃 🙏🏻. I've started flowering even if some are still a bit small, but otherwise they'll get too wide from training and end up taking up space :-) until then have fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.

2018-04-10 Day 1 I gave the girls water and nutrients yesterday so nothing to drink today. Turned them 90 degrees today, to give my girls as much lightexposure as possible. The flowers get bigger and bigger for each day, Overall the ladies look really good, the colors are very nice, they look healthy. Sour Ripper nr 1 is 79cm Sour Ripper nr 2 is 77cm Added some new videos of the girls, check them out 👌 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strain information After much effort Ripper seeds can introduce one of the most appreciated varieties by genetic collectors. They have worked to get one of the few lines of Sour Diesel feminized version preserving the main qualities of a good Sour D: flavor and potency. Sour Ripper has a sativa structure with a wide distance between branches, little foliage and a more compact and desirable bud than the Original Sour Diesel we work. It's flowering period is 65-70 days. The most "undergrown" taste of the United States available for your collection. Vegetative: 1 to 2 weeks Genotype: 60% Sativa / 40% Índica Indoor flowering: 65/70 days. Outdoor flowering: Mid October Yield: Medium / High Effect: Powerful. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hola Primera semana se demoraron 4 días aproximadamente en salir de la tierra. Se han realizado 2 riegos: 200ml c/u 1ml calmag 100ml c/u 1ml Bio grow 1ml Bio heaven 0.5 calmag Raiza 🐈

This week has been great ,today is day 78 and the girls are just doin their thang , 1 looks ready for flush already and the rest look about another longer then flush for them aswell,, can’t wait to see how these girls finish out over the next couple of weeks 😍!! Y’all keep them eyes peeled an stay tuned for next week! Peace love an positive vibes to y’all Cheers.💨💨💨

did some LST to this girl. We were in the middle of a mini drought but we did get 6mm of rain yesterday. So that will help with growth a lot. I also watered them with a whopping 9 gal each day before the rain. So I am expecting some excellent growth over the coming week. Ive been looking for an inexpensive source of granulated humic and fulvic acids if anyone knows of a source in southern Ontario.

Everything is going well this week and the plant looks very happy. Expecting the first true leaves to come in this week. Will feed twice this week with 30ml of Fish Mix each time.

Its getting a nice blau en red Color

7/18/21 - They are looking good! Harvest day is coming and we are excited. We have just a few days left. Giving ph 6.0 water. 7/19/21 - Everything looks good. On track for harvest! 7/20/21 - Looking good. Just a few more days left before we chop. The final ripening is going on. 7/21/21 - We are preparing the drying room. The buds look awesome! We have mason jars for curing after the dry. 7/22/21 - These plants stink so good! Tomorrow we cut both plants down! They will be drying in 70 degrees temp and 56% humidity. 7/23/21 - We pushed back harvest one day due to a medical emergency. No biggie, the plants will ripen one extra day. 7/24/21 - HARVEST DAY!! - We cut the plants, removed all fan leaves and hung in a temperature/humidity controlled room. More pics/videos/weight and more will be added when we are finished drying and we post our harvest results. The smell is of strong pine and a little sweet. We are very excited to try the smoke. (See video)

F week 4.

👊

-I am Back soon- Hope youre doing Great all 🙏 See ya -GGD Theyre Almost Died completly over my Holidays between last Veg Week and the First two Flower weeks. Happy how they Recovered and Growing Flowers aswell in theyre automatic Livespan

17.11. Day 43 Blüte 8 Hallo. Sie ist jetzt die Größte im Zelt. 20.11. HST in diesem Fall habe ich ihre Makkaroni dicken Äste und Stamm zusammen gedrückt bis es Kracht und splittert. 21.11. Invasion der Thirpse Teil 4.. Die Antwort: Arnold Pyrolitenegger. 22.11. noch 51 Tage Blüte...(oh shit) 23.11. Pyrolytenegger. UND was ne Genetik. Der Stamm ist dick wie eine Maispflanze.

Look at the video Weds was an explosion of growth. I tried a higher ambient temp on Thursday to dry out the medium and see how she would respond growth seamed to slow so it's back to 70F mornings slowly bring it up to 78F-80F for mid day. Watering every 48 hours early morning when light comes on or right before, Friday was flush 20% nutes 2 gals. LST seamed to slow growth too so I just let it do its own natural thing.

Had a lot going on this week so the plants didnt get any care or maintenance at all other than just checking on the water level a couple times. They need some major defoliation which I wanted to do this week but procrastination is the vibes currently. Will probably get some done next week.... the plants are looking good and most of them are bushing out pretty nice. They dont seem to be stretching as much as they normally do by this time, but they are transitioning to flower. Will probably do a flush and water change soon since they haven't had one in over a month. I'm just anxious to see some frosty buds at this point.

Ahojte máme krásnu slnečnú nedeľu 2 deň Flower. Dnešný ranný nápoj James Bond obsahuje vodu 1,8L s Ph 6 , Rhino skyn 1ml, Senzi Bloom 2ml A+B, B52 0,5ml, šťava vodoo 1ml. Zalial som kitky,moje veľké uši počujú ako mľaskajú. James Bond koktail im veľmi chutí,oproti minulému kolu som urobil zmenu. Nechám tam vždy aspoň 100ml rezervu nejdem preschnúť na kosť. Pozerám do kútika štastia endorfíny mi stúpajú. Čakám na 5 dní Flower, keď to vybuchne hore ako ohňostroj a budú rásť rýchlejšie. Pridal som sa na spodok ventilátora, ktorý fúkal do stredu stien v boxe nastavené hore.Odtokové mieriežky sú veľmi super, som spokojný lebo mi to veľmi pomáha pri zalievaní. Svetlo a tie rozostupy na rastline som urobil školácku chybu, keď som menil odťahový ventilátor mal som si všimnúť, že svetlo už môžem konečne lepšie nastaviť, ale táto chyba je opravená, flower Room 100% vyriešené len následky si ponesú kitky, teraz už to svetlo a rozostupy vidím .Zatiaľ ma teší, že tie kitky sú zdravé a bez nedostatkov. 6 deň máme teplotu už 26,7 °C a vlhkosť 51% svetlo Full 150w Max výkon.Dnes bola ďalšia zálievka opäť rovnaká ako predtým vidím mierne tmavé okraje tých nových listov. Nech sa Vám darí a na konci ste Happy ✌️.
