💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 6 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent. If you're joining the adventure for the first time, welcome! This project follows four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia, all growing inside exactly the same environment, under the same lighting, receiving the same nutrition and following the same training schedule. Everything is identical. The only difference is the seed itself. That's what makes this project so interesting. Watching genetically stable F1 plants develop their own subtle personalities while removing as many environmental variables as possible allows us to really appreciate both their consistency and their individuality. Today we're checking in with Plant B. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Six – Building the Canopy Another fantastic week has passed inside the Blue Tent, and Plant B continues proving why I'm becoming such a fan of these Blue Waffle F1 genetics. After installing the SCROG net last week, the objective has completely changed. We're no longer trying to grow taller plants. Now we're growing sideways. Since tightening the SCROG net, all four plants are sitting at roughly the same height—around 60 cm—as the branches are continuously guided beneath the screen instead of being allowed to grow vertically. Every day I spend a few minutes gently tucking the tallest branches back underneath the net. As soon as one shoot rises above the canopy, it's carefully guided into the next square, allowing another branch to catch up. It's a slow process. But it's also one of the most satisfying parts of growing. The reward comes later, when every flowering site receives nearly identical light intensity across the entire canopy. Plant B has responded beautifully. She's steadily filling her section of the tent and showing exactly the kind of structure I was hoping for. ──────────────────────── 🌿 A Stable F1 Showing Her Strength One thing becoming increasingly obvious is just how stable these F1 genetics really are. Although each plant has its own small personality, all four sisters are developing remarkably similarly. The structure... The vigour... The colour... The response to feeding... Everything is wonderfully consistent. Plant B has maintained her compact, organised architecture while expanding nicely across the screen. The rich green colour has fully returned after increasing the nutrient strength a couple of weeks ago, and the new growth is healthy, vibrant and full of energy. Looking across the tent now, it's honestly difficult not to smile. The girls simply look happy. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment The environment has remained very stable once again despite the summer heat outside. This week's average conditions were: • Day Temperature: 30°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 58% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.92 mS/cm • CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • Light Schedule: 18/6 • Irrigation: 1.2 litres per plant per day The warm nights are something I'll be keeping an eye on once flowering begins, as higher night temperatures can encourage a little extra stretch during the first weeks after the flip. That's tomorrow's problem though. Today our only objective is filling every square of that SCROG. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding & Irrigation Nothing changes this week because the plants have given me absolutely no reason to change anything. The feeding schedule remains: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L With only small pH adjustments whenever required. Some growers may look at an EC of 1.92 and think it's relatively high. My plants disagree. Their colour is rich. The leaves are praying. Growth is vigorous. The stems continue thickening every day. Plants don't care what feeding chart someone else follows. They care whether their own needs are being met. These girls have made their opinion very clear. ──────────────────────── 💧 Drip Irrigation & Automatic Drainage The Mars Hydro drip irrigation system continues making life wonderfully easy. Each plant receives approximately 1.2 litres of nutrient solution every day, delivered slowly and evenly through individual drippers positioned above each grow bag. Once the nutrient solution has passed through the coco, the runoff is automatically collected and removed by the drainage system installed beneath the pots. Together these two systems create an incredibly consistent root environment while removing much of the daily workload that normally comes with coco growing. Instead of carrying watering cans... I get to spend my time watching plants. That's a trade I'll happily make every day. ──────────────────────── 🐛 The Caterpillar Who Chose The Wrong Plant Every garden eventually reminds us that nature always finds a way. This week, Plant B became the only sister to receive an unexpected visitor. Somehow a tiny caterpillar managed to hitchhike its way from my vegetable garden into the Blue Tent and decided that Plant B's beautiful leaves looked particularly delicious. I have to admit... She must have looked especially healthy if even the caterpillar couldn't resist having a taste! Fortunately, regular daily inspections meant the damage was caught almost immediately. The caterpillar was removed by hand, the affected leaves were carefully trimmed away, and the problem never had an opportunity to develop into anything more serious. It also served as a perfect reminder that no matter how careful we are—and I always shower, change clothes and enter the grow room as clean as possible—nature can still surprise us from time to time. Clean habits reduce risk. Regular observation eliminates it. ──────────────────────── 🛡️ Integrated Pest Management Following the discovery, the entire tent received a thorough IPM (Integrated Pest Management) inspection. IPM isn't about waiting until pests become a problem. It's about combining good hygiene, regular inspections and preventative practices so problems are found while they're still tiny. As an additional precaution, I also used the Future of Grow UVC LED bar. Used correctly, UVC light can help reduce unwanted spores and microorganisms that may have entered the grow room, making it another useful preventative tool within an overall IPM strategy. It's important to mention that UVC should always be handled carefully. Direct exposure can damage both plants and skin, so eye protection and proper safety procedures are essential whenever using this type of equipment. Thankfully... One hungry caterpillar became nothing more than a short interruption to an otherwise fantastic week. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant B Herself Plant B continues becoming one of the easiest plants to train inside the tent. Her branches remain flexible, her internodal spacing is excellent and she seems perfectly happy being guided beneath the SCROG every single day. She's not racing ahead. She's building a beautifully organised framework that should become an outstanding flowering canopy once the time comes. Every week she seems a little fuller. Every week she looks a little stronger. And every week these Blue Waffle genetics impress me a little more. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead If everything continues progressing at this pace, I expect the screen to be almost completely filled by next week. Once that happens, the next major milestone will be a final clean-up and defoliation before flipping the Blue Tent into flower. Until then the routine stays wonderfully simple. Guide the branches. Maintain the environment. Keep the roots happy. Trust the process. Nature already knows what she's doing. We're simply helping her do it a little more efficiently. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these incredibly stable Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line that continues producing beautiful, healthy growth week after week. A special thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that has transformed daily watering into an almost effortless routine. A huge thank you as well to Future of Grow for the UVC LED bar, which has now become another valuable tool in my preventative IPM routine. Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing this amazing platform where growers from around the world can learn from one another, share experiences and document our journeys. And finally... Thank you to every single one of you following Project Blue Tent. Whether you've been here since germination, recently joined the adventure, leave comments every week or simply enjoy looking through the photos, your support genuinely means the world to me. Hopefully next week the screen will be completely filled, we'll perform our final defoliation and begin preparing these beautiful ladies for the next exciting chapter... Flowering. Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and I'll see you all soon. 🌱💙

The substrate maybe got a little hot after the last top feed so won't be adding any more probably this grow! That's my best guess for the mottling on the leaves and crispy ends - as the ends are curling up rather than straight. That's my tip for telling whether it's over- or under-fed or another issue. I'm pH testing every drop she gets (and giving between 6-6.5), so I don't believe it's lockout from a pH issue. She's getting a proper wet-dry cycle. Must be too many nutes. I flushed her yesterday and will continue with straight up water. Hasn't affected overall growth though- the buds are starting to bulk up, trichs continue to show themselves, and the smell 👌👌 it's like honey and citrus. Veeeery excited for this one ;)

Day fifty, they're all looking pretty good.I'm doing a ph check every couple days

Cool red colour!! 😍😍😍 The Diesel is full of white sap eaters, they leave a gew on the leaves that form a layer and is sticky 🤨🤨😡😡 I put all plants outside for the rest of the day. Hope to attract natural predators... com´on nature! Do your thing!! 🙏🙏🙏 10 min outside 😛 fuckin big ass hornet drops in 🤣🤣 she is walkin around, gathering gew and lickin and eatin from the surface 😛😛👍👍 I was more like expectin a lady bug 🤭 mother nature sends me a fuckin hornet, if its hungry, it will clean up the whole lot!!!

7/9/29 día 1 de floración Esto arranca amigos, por desgracia lo hace con unas temperaturas altísimas, con maximas de incluso 32 grados debido a la ola de calor que estamos sufriendo. Ya hemos montado el sistema de riego y lo hemos preogramado para regar durante 1min cada 4h durante el día. La solución la hemos preparado con los productos Cyco arriba descritos, con una ec de 1 y un ph de 6,1. Por otro lado nuestro jardín. Esta iluminado por 4 barras led 100w de solux, y un lec solux de 630w aunque por el momento está a 315w debido a las altas temperaturas. Para empezar la floración lo hacemos con una defoliación y una poda de ramas bajas. Estaremos atentos a cambios en las pequeñas para intentar mantener en cada momento la alimentación adecuada, sin carencia y sin excesos. No te lo pierdas!! 9/9/20 día 3 de floración Buenas, nuestras pequeñas se aclimatan bien a la nueva alimentación y a su nuevo medio. Aumentamos la ec del tanke a 1,1ec y seguimos manteniendo el ph a 6,1. Por otro lado las temperaturas parece que disminuyen por lo que pasamos el lec de 315w a 415w, manteniendo así unas temperaturas diurnas de entre 26 y 27 grados. Esperemos que continúen descendiendo hasta poder mantener las temperaturas a 23 grados durante todo el día. La humedad ronda el 40% y estaremos atentos para que no suba de ahí. Deja tu like y síguenos para no perderte nada. Buenos humos!! 11/9/20 día 5 de floración Nuestro cultivo avanza sin demasiados cambios, durante estos días se aprecia que las nenas aumentan su altura más rápidamente y los brotes se multiplican.seguiremos atentos para que todo siga su curso. Buenos humos.

Flushing is in progress. Big Bud 😎🤘 she smells excellent citrusy strong 💪 grow using the full Cali proline. Unfortunately, my phone growdiaries crashed many times. I had to remove information from the diaries.

Terminamos semana 6 muy orgulloso de todo lo que he logrado y aprendido durante estos meses. Demasiado agradecido con todas la personas que comparten sus conocimientos. Ya empezando nuevo ciclo y muy pronto entrando nuevamente en flora junto una automática y happy lora de blacktuna que ya tiene un mes en vegetativo, se ha trabajado nuevamente con lst y pronto tendrá su primera poda importante.

Water feed ph 5.8 twice daily 1 cup 1 gallon pot

Recently had a gnat issues from what I read it’s something you can run into using build a soil or growing organic so I got some neem oil to handle it it help a lot still have some but a ton less other than that this is where I am with these two everything seems okay so far

Harvested 5 out of 7 pics and videos soon..... loading.....

The mephisto is has bounced back and pushing hard. All the plants still have a high runoff but has been pushing hard this last week or so. Ph run off has been around 7.6 from around 8.4ph😬😬 I kinda gave up on the freeze berry but I started checking it out and I didnt notice how well the branching is on that plant and how frosty it is. the freeze berry has been getting set up nicely hoping it fills out nicely because the branching and spacing on that one is not too shabby I'm not sure wth is going on with the big bomb that one decided to just grow like a bush real fast and has soo many bud sites but is flowering super slow.. I started all the seeds at the same time except the mephisto is about a week or two younger than the rest. The crystal meth is about ready I'm going to start flushing that here sometime this week when I get my new ph pen.

👻👻👻 Reminder : 👻👻👻 So, I created the diary the 15th of september, I wrotte every previous informations on paper then on a word sheet. I reallized that I got everything to create a diary here, so I did it. I should maybe try to end this first grow without buying any fertilizer and keep going with my home made receips (taken from several sources and reading). I think I will do some fun experiments on a following diary. It is well known, dwarves don't run fast, so next batch will be 3 quick one from royal queen seeds, with smart pot and coco ideas i had. It will be fun an probably in 3-4 weeks (I plane to harvest my dwarves a little bit later around week 11, but I don't know, I have to check trichomes, they will give me the answer.)🙌💩So from week (8) we are in *LIVE* mode for this diary. Hello elves (you are the elves, you reading me). Smiles are allowed (this is unfair you smoke your plants so you have a strong adventage) while reading. Orcs are the pests and desease attacking the dwarves (the 3 plants)👻👻👻 👉 I've cut every branches, it was an amazing experience : My dwarves killed the orcs, they survived and escape from this AMAZING journey. They where really impossible to kill. They suffered from : Overwatering, over defoliation, nutrients burn, probably root rot, to much heat (more than 30 degree for some days), a too small pot... And they smell like : 😅😇😇😇 a wounderfull smell. I did all the "noob" mistakes basically but I learned so much. I started to feed them with home made nutrients and ended to use biobizz really at the end. I don't know what was the best for those dwarves but they made it. I will update this diary with a video and will give in 1-2 weeks the weight dry, I am really curious about it, I left really no branches, they are like ready to be in a jar. So: 👉 The famous 3/3 with amazing colors gave me : 38 gr. wet 👉 The famous 2/3 gave me : 34 gr. wet 👉 The famous 1/3 gave me : 30-31 gr. wet The harvest seems not amazing, I don't know how much weight I may loose by drying (I kept really only the heads). For a first grow, I am happy, because I simply made it. I know that it is now a growing experience, like those wounderfull amazing plants. And I learned a lot. Allready excited to launch a second harvest. A matter of time actually. It was fast, joyfull, stressfull, great to do it. SUMMARY : 😮 Why this diary name ? 😮 👉 Because when I descovered growdiaries.com 3-4 weeks before harvesting I was completly sure to fail and that my dwarves were gona die. 😁 😮 Is it the first time you have a kind of relationship with dwarves or plants like this ? 😮 👉 Hell yeah... I am totally a casual smoker and I never did this in my life before. I have to say that I started to have like a real relationship with those 3 dwarves, they start to miss me ( I just cuted them like 2-3 hours ago). 😞😢 😮 Did you enjoy to do that ? 😮 👉 Well... It will be definitly hard to don't do it again. Hopefully when seeds arrived at my home, they where not alone, 3 quick one are waiting to have a funz experience with me. The trick what started to be a small investment turned into buying more and more stuff (ph and ec meter etc...) So I want to use them more 😲😘😍 😮 Are you high right now ? 😮 👉 Absolutly not, I haven't smoke any weed for about 3-4 months maybe and I don't drink, I mean, I am naturally like this. 😕 😮 What about the elves ? 😮 👉 You mean the readers of this website who followed, liked, help me a lot with A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GOOD ADVICES ? I love them ♥️☺️♥️ Thank to all the readers, growers, people taking care of this website and not giving any infos to the police, breeders for giving us the opportunity to do this, light crafters for giving us sun in a tent, tent builders, special potions crafters (who create amazing nutrients) specially those dedicated to the natural 100% products... I mean thank you to all elves. ♥️

Am so chuffed with this lady . She's exceeded my expectations
