This week went fast, she is flowering at a nice rate, leaves not too damaged, just the tip drying of under hot super hps and fans, so just removed all the old damaged fan leaves, cut in half those shading under growth and tucked those healthy one when possible. She looks greyish in strong light compare to the other strains, a true grey back gorilla lol, trichomes all over buds, smell is so interesting, pine, lavenders and citrus with some other terpines blend I cannot identify yet. Fed her some Epsom salt only this week.

7/11 Got half in of rain last night. Glad I didn't water. Ph of rain water is very acidic. Added supports to the blueberry cheese in the 50. I just used string and went diagonal and attached to the cage. Wrote a ton but it disappeared. Anyway looking at previous diaries I was wrong about senescence. It wad the life cycle of those earwigs that did that to my plants (see other diaries). This soil mix is amazing. These plants gave only gotten like two small feeds of big bloom. I showed my commercial buddy and I'll keep it between us what was said but it made me feel really good. I'm considering either expanding the cage in one direction with some lumber I already have or moving a couple outside tge cage. That way I have more room. He said he's seen plants structurally similar reach huge heights (14f) so I'm just trying to avoid future problems. I at least need to get the trellis on. I hope poor that's food enough. Did a real nice video this morning but nothing wanted to upload and it just uploaded the same one twice. I'll try again and hopfully it will go up. If not I'll put it up tomorrow. 7/12 Dad has surgery this morning. I did a quick video and took some pictures. I need to do some rearranging with the plants and cut a pallet to fit in the back. Then I can put a vertical trellis up. Haven't decided if I'll add on to the cage, remove a couple plants or just rearrange things but I'm leaning towards the later. They will need water again and I'm wondering if I should start nutrients but everything looks so good. By this time on past diaries I'd be losing all my leaves bu now. MI think it wad part ear wigs and part to many nutes. This soil mix is taking these plants through veg. I'll probably do a feeding soon but it will be organic and it will he small like a big bloom or ancient amber. Im leaning towards not using growbig this year as my plants seem to be doing great without it. We'll see. I'll keep this updated. UPDATE: Went back over and gave plants a full watering. Some were slightly drooping. I was going to add nutes but decided against it as I didn't see any deficiency. So far NO Earwigs! I comed through the plants and I did find a jpn beetle which I happily killed. I mixed up 8 gallons of water and gave it to the 11 plants so it wasn't quite a gallon a plant. I need to rearrange the plants so I have room to move around. I also need to cut another pallet and use the spaces I'm not. Trellis needs to go up. 7/13 I think I've got the watering amount down. Now just to find how often which will depend on weather. I've watered very little this year. They loved that gallon. I was going to use big bloom and kelp me/you but looking at my garden I decided not too. My buddy asked what i was addingvthings for and to wait fir what i added to do what I wanted it to do. I see no nutrient deficiencies so why add anything? I think this soil mixture will get me all tgexway through veg. I dont plan on using much in fliwer either. Definitely good genetics. I really need to cut that palley and move the 1 10gallon to the far back coener. It will open thibgs up so much better. The garden looked so beautiful this morning. Getting very aromatic. I started untangling trellis netting but had to leave. I'll update what I do. Happy growing folks UPDATE: Went back over as I had a slight intuition that I needed to check the garden. I found and killed at least 7 jpn beetles. That's what's been making holes. They tried to escape and bounced off a tarp but I got it. I went through the interiors and found two pillars. If these beetles are gonna be around I'm ordering a net. I'm also close to positive I'm going to extend my cage in the back a few feet. Things are getting unmanageable in here. My buddy said I'll be having problems soon if I don't do something. I'll document what I decide to do. 7/14 Found ONE jpn beetle in the garden this morning. I can manage those well enough. The birds help too. I check my garden multiple times a day so I manually remove many pests. However I've noticed some thrip damage on a leaf and a leafhopper damage on "A" leaf so there are "some" pests around but not enough to spray shit. A couple wasps were doing there job while I was there. Supposed to get thunder storms after three and tonight. Supposed to get over a half inch of rain tonight. I lifted the bags and decided to hold off and let mother nature take care of it as the bags weren't totally dry. Only problem I really have is space. I AM moving that 10gallon (that's the same size as some 20's) in the back. There's 27in not being used and a few feet the other way. My buddy cautioned me that I'm going to have problems since my plants are so crowded. I agree with him. I spoke with me father and we have most materials to extend my cage four feet in the back. I think that's my plan. I'll extend the structure before the stretch then I can put up the supports. We'll see how this goes. UPDATE: Went back over to check the girls as I had a feeling I ought to. When I got there I saw that a couple of the blueberry cheese were pretty light (liftng the smart pot) but the others seemed to be fine. ONE 10th planet was light like that and the purple punch in the 10 gallon was as well. Each plant thar needed it got at least a half gallon of water. I'm waiting to see if we get the thunderstorms and the half inch of rain. I watered the MASSIVE blueberry cheese in the 50 but I only gave it 1 pitcher which is like 1/4 gallon or so. Don't know why I even gave it that. Looked fine but the soil WAS pretty dry. Next year I'm giving myself way more room. I was running trying to chase these jpn beetles. This time I have the dawn and water and a measuring cup to knock them in. This ain't my first rodeo. I did notice some bright yellow streaks on a leaf edge and I'm hoping it's not septoria. I doubt it but I have an anxiety disorder and I worry. I hope I can get the cage extended sooner rather than later. It's getting hard to move in there and more importantly I can't take any more plant pathogen problems. I'm considering starting a plant doctor regimen just to be safe. 7/15 Got a bunch of rain last night. No jpn beetles in the garden and not really much damage. I did notice this (I think it's leaf hoppers) that leave those dots close together on a leaf so it appears I've got a variety of pests. I'm considering how to approach this. I mean the damage is very minimal but I don't want it to get out of hand. Another thing I need to look out for is leaf septoria or any other fungal pathogens. I believe that has been part of my problems in the past. I think that's what caused my earlier grows to drop all their leaves so quick. I think I'm being overly cautious but its very crowded in there. With my father just getting out of surgery the girls will need to wait a little bit before before I can extend the cage. I could still cut the pallet and move the 1 10gallon and that would give more room. I rearranged a LITTLE BIT so they have a little more room but I've really got to get this cage extended. UPDATE: IT Rained so hard I had to pull the car over. We hydroplanned the whole way home. After working ob my house I went to see what the damage would be like. NOT A SINGLE BREAK THAT I COULD SEE. I took a video but since the wifi here sucks I'll have to upload it tomorrow. Walking around in the cage even if I cant get it extended I think I'll be OK. It obviously will open me up to lots more issues but at the very least I can reorganize before I build on. The 10 gal purple punch would fit perfectly in the back and I have a pallet I can cut to fit it in place. Putting that one back and pulling the others forward will be much better than what I've got going on now. I'm also thinking about running an extension cord and putting fans under the canopy or at an angle to keep the wind moving. Just thinking outloud. However after that storm the girls looked as happy as I've ever seen them. All happy praying to the sun, thankful for the much needed rain. Mother nature does a pretty good job with out me messing with it. I've noticed a couple interior lowest leaves turn yellow and die like a nitrogen deficiency but everything else is fine. Also noticed a leaf that looked like a p deficiency but again, it was the VERY bottom leaf on ONE plant. Again the rest of everything looks fantastic. I'll keep an eye out for anymore nutrient deficiencies and if anyone that reads this sees some please let me know. I should've taken stills since they looked so good but I got it on video. 7/16 It POURED last night and throughout the day. TORRENTIAL rain. The branch breaking sheet rain that us outdoor growers learned to fear. My plants aren't trellised currently. I know what I need to do now. I have a pallet to put in the back corner and I'm moving the purple punch in the 10 there. And pulling others forward where there's more room. Then when I extend it (it's gotta be done this week) everything g will be in their proper place and I can just throw on a vertical trellis. I also noticed more (leafhopper) damage on a leaf. Different leaf of the same plant so I'm considering spraying something. I have a number of products but I was trying not to use them. Luckily I have these diaries so I can look back and see certain plants reactions to certain nutes or fungacide/insecticide/nutes and the doses used. I haven't been using much but if my plants will remain cramped I'm going to start the plant doctor. I'm seeing more pillar damage too but BT is super narrow so I'm thinking when I fo spray for pests I might use cap jack and be done with it. Then I can apply the BT in flower if it's necessary. I took a video but I have to wait until tomorrow to upload. I took a quick snapshot though. 7/17 Despite the torrential rain I don't have any breaks. I'm noticing more pest damage though. Another leaf on the same plant had those closely shaped round circles. I forget what pest it is but it's there. Caterpillars are there I'm sure so I may do a preclcentative spray. Just unsure what I'm going to use. I lost a COUPLE very bottom interior leaves that look like they just got used up. After this rain I think think the plants might benefit from a feeding. Probably next water after they dry out. I REALLY need that cage extended. I expressed that today and it should be done this week. I'm looking for pallets today. I have the little one that I can put in the back which will allow me to move the 10 gallon and move the other forward. That will help some but I need more room. I'll update as I go. UPDATE: GOT A SMALL PALLET AND IT FIT PERFECT IN THE BACK ROW. I MOVED THE PURPLE PUNCH IN THE 10 GALLON ONTO IT. I SHIFTED A BUNCHVIF THINGS AROUND. I ROTATED ON BLUEBERRY CHEESE 180 DEGREES SO IT WOULD FIR BETTER. CROP ROTATION IS GOOD ANYWAY. I TOOK VIDEOS AND YOU CAN NOW SEE THE ROWS MUCH BETTER. 2 WITH 3 and 1 WITH 4. IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN IT WAS. I CAN GET AROUND ALL SIDES OF EVERY PLANT NOW. GRANTED THE LARGE 50 IN THE BACK IS GOING TO HAVE SOME TROUBLE BUT ILL JUST STAKE IT TO THE CAGE. IT WILL GROW TOWARDS THE SUN ANYWAY. IM SUPRISED I DIDN'T LOSE A BUNCH OF LEAVES AFTER THIS RAIN. MOVING THINGS AROUND AND LOOKING ON THE INTERIOR OF PLANTS I FOUND A COUPLE LEAVES THAT HAD BEEN USED UP. I REMOVED A COUPKE LEAVES THAT HAD DONE THEIR JOB. I'LL UPDATE AS I GO ALONG.
Peachy Keen!

Day 64, 11-12-24: They are beautiful! I am going to enter one of my tri pics in the November pic of the month. 1st competition entered! They smell exactly like peaches now. Fresh out of the orchard smell. Day 65, 11-13-24: They are sooo beautiful. And they smell on point. I am having some issues though. #1 has gotten so tall that the top light (aglex 400w) is at 25%, and 2 150w mars, a groplanner 150w, and an aglex 250w all at 100%, because the top is burning. Any suggestions? Day 66, 11-14-24: So sticky it caught a gnat lol. As far as the experiment goes, it ended how I expected, yet got there in an odd way. Number one grew is expected, number two grew more than expected but balanced out, and number 3 through smaller than I had expected. Day 67, 11-15-24: They're growing well, and the trichomes are just sooo pretty! Day 68, 11-16-24: They're starting to thicken up nicely! Day 69, 11-17-24: I defoliated them today. They were getting really bushy so I removed quite a few fan leaves to allow secondary lighting to be more effective. Day 70, 11-18-24: well the end of week 10 shows some amazing looking plants. My tests seem to have worked somewhat lol.

Week 10: This will be the final update before Harvest: I will update post harvest after the dry and weigh. Day 64-66: Hmm these 4AM are a strange bunch lol. I seemed to have been wrong about 4AM#3 getting better in last week's update, after reviewing the pictures. After realizing this I decided to continue feeding the plants till the end albeit only Calmg and Boost(micro). I decided to give 4AM#3 a 125% dose of Calmg on Day 66. I was worried about root rot because even though she was a bigger plant she drank noticeably less water than the rest. I actually forgot to mention I have had a few fungus gnats during the grow starting at around day 35. I always let the plants completely dry out even until some leaves were really drooping from thirst, so I though I had them under control. I never noticed more than 1 or 2 at a time, which is also why I thought I had it out of control. Maybe they have something to do with 4AM#3's state, but I doubt it. Anyway, 4AM#1 and #2 are doing well. #1 has fully ripened with almost 95% cloudy trichomes, and some amber. #2 on the other hand could still use 7-10 days extra, but regretfully I cannot harvest then... #3 is at about the same stage as #2. Day 67-70: Sadly I noticed too late, but that extra strong dose of Calmg seemed to confirm my suspisions... 4AM#3 had a heavy calmg deficiency... It really is noticeably improving this time! Leaves are regaining some slight saturation! And she drank her water very quickly this time! So bummed about having to harvest this weekend... Day 73... Oh well next time I will be able to harvest more freely and at different times for each plant if needed. She still has a good bit of cloudy trichomes on her calyxes though, around 40-60%, and very very few ambers, but her sugar leaves are already full of them. As for 4AM#1, looking great! gona be the smallest buds but definately the most dank! 4#2's massive buds are still having trouble staying upright, but looking forward to those for sure! RED ALERT: Shiiiit... So as I was watering 4AM#3 on day 69, I noticed, what I'm pretty sure is, BUD ROT! Damn, I'll have a picture as part of this update. I had very bad experience with bud rot last fall(planted my autos too late in the summer, lost over half my plants and had to harvest early), but that was with 10C temps and 80%+ RH. I have FOUR fucking fans in this damn tent, and it's always over 20C! But I'll be honest, I knew if it was going to happen, it would be THAT part of the plant positioned closest to that oscillating fan I have on the peace of wood... The bud closest to it(in the corner) is in it's blind spot, doesn't get direct breeze on it. And that's the bud, and the ONLY bud that seems to have been affected. Strangely though, this bud rot feels different to the touch than the one I had last summer. Very dry, and like I said, very isolated to that ONE little part. I cut it out and have the rest of the bud drying as a tester in my room. And my entire room STINKS. I seemed to have been wrong about that last week also; The 4AM smells so much stronger than the White Cracks. See you after the Harvest!! ;) It's been awesome and a fun learning experience!

High Level From Eva Seeds 11th week of Veg 30th December 2019 Fark these girls look so good with their thin sativa leaves and overall health. I'm really getting excited about this grow as I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's a very faint light but a light never the less. There is still about six weeks to go until it will start flowering so I'll spend that time making sure both plants get everything they need nutrient wise plus lots of love and care from me. Plant number 2 will need to be transplanted into a larger pot this week as it's getting to that point where the other plant was when I transplanted her. Thankyou all so much for reading my Diary please leave a like if you enjoyed the read and the pics etc. I'll be back next Year in 2020 with another update until then stay lit 👍

Pheno B Blue Waffle  F1 Zamnesia
# 💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 12 💙 ## Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B ### 🌸 466 Photos. 600 Photos. One Ridiculously Frosty Girl! ❄️😂 Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter inside Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 And my friends... I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY ANYMORE! 😂❄️ Well, actually, I do. I have plenty to say, because this beautiful girl deserves her own report! Last week, we talked about the incredible uniformity we're seeing throughout this tent. Four plants, two different cultivars, the same environment, the same irrigation system, and the same nutritional program. And this week? Her sister is looking ridiculously beautiful too! But today, we're giving the spotlight to Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B, because even when plants share the same room and the same conditions, each one deserves to have her own story documented. And honestly, what a story she's giving us. The flowers are stacking. The buds are developing. The frost is becoming increasingly impressive, and the whole plant is showing us why I love documenting every stage of a grow. We've made a few small adjustments to the environment, increased the power of the overhead LEDs, and left the nutrient recipe unchanged. No unnecessary interventions. Just a beautiful ecosystem, some seriously frosty flowers, and a grower who's spending far too much time staring at them. 😂💙🌸 Let's get into it! ## 🌿 PHENO B – SAME ROOM, SAME ENVIRONMENT, SAME BEAUTIFUL STORY If you've been following Project Blue Tent, you'll already know how much work went into getting these girls to this point. The long vegetative period gave us the structure. The topping and training helped organize the growth. The SCROG supported the canopy, and the second layer of support helped us manage the flowering structure after the stretch. We also improved the available space inside the tent by moving the extraction equipment outside and raising the main lights. All those decisions helped us establish the environment we're working with today. And now? We're watching the flowers develop within that structure. Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B is approximately 145 cm tall, and the overall framework is already established. We're not looking to reshape the plant every week or make changes just to have something to report. At this stage, I'm much more interested in observing the flowers, following their development, and seeing how the plant responds to the environment. And she's giving us plenty to look at! ## 🌸 THE FLOWERS ARE STACKING BEAUTIFULLY One of the things that really catches my attention this week is the flower development. Look at those close-ups! The flowering sites are becoming increasingly defined, the buds are developing along the branches, and the amount of visible resin in the photographs is absolutely beautiful. The white pistils are still prominent, and the flowers are continuing to develop. This is such an interesting stage because the plant is gradually shifting our attention away from the structure and toward the flowers themselves. Earlier in the project, we were talking about stretch, canopy management, training, defoliation, and support. All of that work established the framework. Now we're looking at what that framework is carrying. And Pheno B is certainly giving us a reason to keep the camera ready. She's stacking. She's budding. She's developing. And she's looking ridiculously frosty! 😂❄️💙 ## ❄️ THE FROST IS REAL, MY FRIENDS! I know I keep saying it. And I know I'm probably going to keep saying it next week too. But LOOK AT HER! 😂😂😂 The close-up photographs show an incredible amount of detail across the developing flowers and surrounding sugar leaves. And that's precisely why I enjoy taking the time to photograph these plants properly. From a distance, you can appreciate the overall structure and the way the flowering sites are distributed. Get closer, though, and there's an entirely different world waiting to be discovered. The trichomes. The pistils. The tiny details across the flowers. It's beautiful to see, and it's even more satisfying when we can document those details and compare them with the previous weeks. And the best part? Her sisters are looking just as impressive. This isn't a story about one plant doing all the work while the others watch. The entire tent is giving us something to appreciate. But today, Pheno B gets the spotlight. And she's absolutely shining! 💙🌸❄️ ## 📸 PHOTO STACKING – 466 PHOTOS AND 600 PHOTOS COMBINED! Now, let's talk about something a little different in this week's report. The photography! For this girl, we managed to create two separate photo stacks. One combines 466 photographs, while the other combines 600 photographs. And yes, my friends, that's a lot of photographs! 😂📸 We weren't able to take this plant out of the tent and move her into the studio setup, so we had to work with the conditions available to us inside the grow room. It's not the same as stacking photographs in the studio, where we have much more control over the environment and the shooting conditions. But we made it work! And honestly, I'm happy with the results. The two stacks give us a closer look at the flowers and allow us to appreciate details that can be difficult to capture in a single photograph. More importantly, they give everyone following this diary a better view of what's happening throughout the flowering structure, including the lower portions of the buds. Because the top of the plant isn't the whole story. There's plenty happening further down, too, and I want to document as much of that development as possible. These photographs are another way of bringing the community closer to the plants. We can't all stand inside the tent together, so let's bring the tent to the community! 😂💙 And if you're interested in photography, this is also a nice opportunity to see what can be achieved through stacking hundreds of images, even when we're not working in a dedicated studio. Are the results identical to studio stacking? No. Am I happy with what we managed to achieve under the circumstances? Absolutely! Two stacks. Hundreds of photographs. One very frosty Pheno B. I'll take that! 📸❄️🌸 ## 🔬 WHY PHOTOGRAPH THE LOWER FLOWERS? This is something I particularly wanted to highlight this week. When we photograph a flowering plant, it's very easy to concentrate on the most accessible tops. They're usually easier to reach, easier to frame, and often the first places our eyes are drawn to. But the plant is a three-dimensional structure. There are flowers at different heights, branches extending in different directions, and flowering sites that don't all sit in the same position relative to the main lights. That's why I wanted to make these stacks available. They help us look more closely at the flowers beyond the most obvious parts of the canopy. And that matters for documentation. We're trying to record the plant as a whole, not simply collect a few attractive photographs of the uppermost flowers. The more detail we can preserve, the better we can appreciate the development we're documenting. The stacks aren't a substitute for observing the whole plant, of course, but they're a fantastic addition to the diary. And personally, I love having the opportunity to show everyone a little more of what's happening inside this beautiful ecosystem. ## 💡 MORE LIGHT FROM ABOVE – A SMALL BUT INTERESTING CHANGE This week, we increased the power of the overhead LEDs. We're now running the main lighting at the highest level we've decided to use in this 1 × 1 metre tent. Notice the wording! We're not necessarily running the equipment at its absolute maximum output. We're using the maximum level we've currently planned for this particular setup. I honestly don't think we need to push everything to 100% just because we can. The goal is to give the plants an appropriate amount of light while maintaining a balanced environment. Light intensity is an important factor in plant development and flower production, but more light doesn't automatically mean more weight. The response depends on how much light actually reaches the canopy, how the plants tolerate it, and whether the surrounding conditions remain suitable. So we're increasing the available light without treating maximum output as the objective in itself. And now we observe. How will the flowers continue developing? How will the plant respond to the additional light? How will the environmental adjustments work alongside the lighting? Those are the questions we're interested in answering as the project progresses. We're not making promises about the outcome. We're documenting the experiment. And that's what makes this interesting! 💡🌿 ## 🌡️ SLIGHTLY LOWER TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY Alongside the lighting adjustment, we've also reduced the temperature by approximately one degree and lowered the relative humidity slightly. We're making small adjustments rather than changing the entire environment. The structure is established, the equipment is working, and we're happy with the overall direction of the grow. So there is no reason to introduce unnecessary changes everywhere at once. We want to maintain a comfortable environment while observing the plants as flowering progresses. The increase in lighting power makes it particularly important to keep paying attention to the relationship between light intensity, temperature, humidity, and the plants' overall condition. It's all connected. And this is where I think a well-organized ecosystem really makes a difference. You can adjust one part of the system while keeping the rest as consistent as possible. That gives you a much clearer picture of what you're observing. The temperature has come down a little. The humidity has come down a little. The lights have gone up a little. And the nutrition? Exactly where it was. No need to change everything just because we've adjusted a few settings. ## 🌱 NUTRITION – KEEPING THE RECIPE CONSISTENT The nutrient recipe remains unchanged this week. We're continuing with the PLAGRON Hydro line, and we're keeping the same mixture in the reservoir. Our current recorded recipe is: - PLAGRON Hydro A — 2.2 ml/L - PLAGRON Hydro B — 2.2 ml/L - PLAGRON Power Buds — 1 ml/L - PLAGRON pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L, recorded quantity - PLAGRON pH Minus — 0.03 ml/L, recorded quantity Hydro Roots is not part of the current recipe. We're keeping the nutrition consistent while making the environmental adjustments, which means we're not introducing another variable into the picture. The current recorded pH is 6.01, and the last recorded EC is 2.24 mS/cm. Those readings give us a reference point, but we shouldn't automatically assume they're unchanged without taking fresh measurements. For now, the important point is that the recipe itself remains the same. We're observing the plants, maintaining the system, and recording what happens. Consistency is part of the experiment too! ## 💧 IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE – STILL PART OF THE BIG PICTURE The automatic irrigation and drainage system continues to play an important role in this setup. All four plants share the same reservoir, and the system allows us to maintain a consistent approach across the tent. That's particularly useful for this project because we're documenting the individual plants while keeping the shared inputs as consistent as possible. The irrigation system doesn't need to be the star of every report. When everything is working as expected, that's already a positive result. Our job is to keep an eye on the system, monitor the plants, and make adjustments when there's a reason to do so. And that's the philosophy we're following this week. Keep things running smoothly, avoid unnecessary changes, and let the plants continue developing. 💧🌿 ## 🕸️ THE STRUCTURE IS READY – NOW THE FLOWERS TAKE CENTRE STAGE Remember how much work went into creating this structure? The topping and training. The original SCROG. The management of the flowering stretch. The defoliation. The second SCROG for additional support. The changes to the extraction system and the available vertical space. All those steps helped us reach the stage we're at now. The plant has an established framework, and the support system remains in place. We're not trying to redesign her this week. Instead, we're observing how the flowers develop throughout the existing structure. And this is one of the most satisfying parts of a long grow. You make decisions weeks earlier, sometimes without knowing exactly how everything will look when the plant reaches flowering. Then time passes. The plant develops. And eventually, you can stand back and appreciate the result of all that work. That's what I'm enjoying right now. The structure has done its job. Now the flowers are telling their story. ## 💡 TWO LUMIFLORA FIXTURES – THE LOWER CANOPY MATTERS TOO Our two LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum under-canopy fixtures remain part of the setup. The main LEDs provide the primary lighting from above, while the LumiFlora fixtures supplement the lower portions of the canopy. This is an interesting experiment because the plants have substantial vertical structure, and the light reaching different parts of the plant naturally varies with position. We're interested in observing how the lower flowering sites develop as the plants progress through flowering. We're not assuming that supplemental lighting will automatically produce a particular result. We're watching, documenting, and learning. And this week's photo stacks complement that experiment beautifully. They allow us to inspect the flowers more closely and give the community a better view of the details we're observing. The lights are one part of the experiment. The photographs are another part of the documentation. Together, they help us tell a more complete story of what's happening inside Project Blue Tent. ## F1 UNIFORMITY – THESE SISTERS ARE INCREDIBLE And now we come back to something that continues to amaze me. The similarity between these plants! We have four individual plants sharing the same tent, with two different cultivars represented. Blue Waffle F1 and Pickle Lemon Haze F1. They're sharing the environment, irrigation, reservoir, and general cultivation approach. And when I look across the room, the similarities in their development are genuinely impressive. Similar overall structure. Similar flowering progression. And now, increasingly impressive flowers across the tent. Of course, we're still keeping individual diaries because each plant deserves to be documented separately. Even when two plants look remarkably similar, we shouldn't assume they'll remain identical throughout the entire flowering cycle. The subtle differences are part of what makes these comparisons interesting. But right now? I'm extremely happy with what we're seeing. And I have to say, Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B is absolutely holding her own. Her sister looks incredible too, and so do the other girls. Four plants. Two cultivars. One beautiful ecosystem. What a pleasure it is to document this! 💙🌸 ## 🌿 SOMETIMES THE BEST DECISION IS TO LEAVE THINGS ALONE One of the biggest lessons from this stage of the project is that not every week requires a major intervention. There was a time when we were constantly managing the structure, training branches, opening the canopy, and making room for the stretch. Now, the main structure is established. The support is in place. The irrigation is running. The nutrition remains consistent. And the flowers are developing. So we're making a few deliberate adjustments to the environment, but otherwise, we're allowing the plant to do what she needs to do. There's always a temptation to change something simply because another week has passed. But that isn't a good reason by itself. If the system is working, sometimes consistency is the most valuable thing we can provide. We observe. We record. We learn. And we intervene when there's a genuine reason. That's how I want to approach the rest of this journey. ## 🌸 CURRENT GROW CONDITIONS - Cultivar: Blue Waffle F1 - Phenotype: Pheno B - Flowering: Week 12 - Height: Approximately 145 cm - Light schedule: 12/12 - Day temperature: 27°C, last recorded - Night temperature: 27°C, last recorded - Relative humidity: 59%, last recorded - pH: 6.01, last recorded - EC: 2.24 mS/cm, last recorded - Solution temperature: 25°C, last recorded - Substrate temperature: 24°C, last recorded - CO₂: Approximately 666 ppm, last recorded - Pot size: 8 L - Watering volume: Approximately 1.6 L per plant per 24 hours, recorded value - Main lighting: Increased this week to the maximum planned level for this tent - Under-canopy lighting: 2 × LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum fixtures - Nutrient program: PLAGRON Hydro - Nutrient recipe: Unchanged this week The environmental readings above are the last recorded values shown in the diary. This week's temperature and humidity were reduced slightly, but the new readings have not yet been provided. ## 🔭 WHAT I'M WATCHING NEXT At this stage, my attention is on the details. I'm watching the flowers continue developing. I'm watching the pistils and the way the buds are forming. I'm watching the overall appearance of the plant and the visible resin across the flowers and sugar leaves. I'm interested in how the plants respond to the increased overhead light intensity and the slightly cooler, less humid environment. And I'm particularly interested in continuing to document the lower flowering sites. The two photo stacks have already given us a fantastic opportunity to look more closely at Pheno B. I want to keep building that photographic record as the plant progresses. Because every week adds another piece to the story. And we're not finished yet! ## 💙 FINAL THOUGHTS – SHE'S FROSTY, AND HER SISTERS ARE TOO! My friends, if I had to describe this week in a few words, I'd say: Same room. Same environment. Same beautiful cultivar sisters. And a whole lot of frost! 😂💙❄️ Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B is looking fantastic. The flowers are stacking. The buds are developing. The frost is beautiful. The structure is established. The nutrient recipe remains unchanged. We've slightly reduced the temperature and humidity, increased the overhead LED power, and continued observing the plants without making unnecessary changes. And we also managed to create two photo stacks, combining 466 and 600 photographs, giving us a closer look at the flowers and the lower parts of the buds. I'm genuinely happy with the results. It's not the same as taking the plant into the studio, but it gives us another way to appreciate and document the incredible details we're seeing. And honestly, I think that's what matters. We're working with the conditions available to us, finding ways to improve our documentation, and sharing the results with everyone following the project. I also have to say how much I'm enjoying this entire ecosystem. Four plants. Two cultivars. Shared conditions. Individual diaries. The similarities between these girls are fascinating, and the flowers are becoming more impressive every week. But today, Pheno B gets her moment. And she deserves it. We've done the structural work. We've established the system. We've made a few small environmental adjustments. Now we're watching these beautiful flowers develop. Let's see what the next week brings! More flowers. More photographs. More observations. And hopefully, even more reasons to stand in front of the tent and say... "MAN, SHE'S FROSTY!" 😂💙🌸❄️ ## 🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and giving us the opportunity to document these beautiful Blue Waffle F1 and Pickle Lemon Haze F1 plants individually.
