So happy! 😍😌 I have been gifted by the universe once again. πŸ™ I had to support all the branches now. 🍨 DAY 96 I harvested my beautiful Caramelo girl. 😍 ✨ Just took off the bigger leaves, and a few sugar leaves, my room is quite warm so no complete trim. The buds look so amazing, they are rock hard, glittery and have those bright orange pistils alongside the dark purple colors. Sigh. 😊 Drying in cardboard boxes now, I usually hang two branches in a box, with air holes. And I have one box with a net chucked inside, for the smaller parts. No popcorn with the Caramelo. πŸ˜‹ Took me half an hour to trim her. After 5 days, I will put the nuggets in a jar to check the remaining humidity. I will leave the jar closed for 12h and then check. If the humidity has risen above 70%, the nugs will be put in a salad bowl to dry over night. If it's below 70% I will leave them in the jar and open it once in a while.. trying to keep humidity above 60% and below 70% for 2 weeks. 😎 Thank you so much for your company, friends!!

πŸ’™ Project Blue Tent – Week 5 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent. For anyone discovering these diaries for the first time, this project follows four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia from seed to harvest. Every plant grows inside the exact same environment, under the same lighting, receives the same nutrition and follows the same schedule. The only variable... The genetics. Watching each phenotype develop its own personality while removing as many environmental variables as possible is exactly what makes this project so fascinating. Today we're checking in with Plant B. 🌱 Week Five – Finding Her Rhythm If last week was about recovery after topping, this week was all about momentum. Plant B responded beautifully to the cut, quickly redirecting her energy into the new leading shoots while the lower branches accelerated their own growth. She's still carrying that compact structure I mentioned previously, but she's beginning to spread out much more naturally now. The canopy is becoming wider, the internodal spacing remains wonderfully tight, and every branch seems determined to compete for the top. One thing that continues to impress me is how symmetrical she is becoming. She almost looks like she planned every branch herself. The stem has thickened considerably over the past week, giving me confidence that she'll comfortably support the heavy flowers later in the grow. 🌑️ Blue Tent Environment Consistency continues to be the biggest priority inside the Blue Tent. This week's average conditions were: β€’ 🌑️ Day Temperature: 30Β°C β€’ πŸŒ™ Night Temperature: 25Β°C β€’ πŸ’§ Relative Humidity: 58% β€’ βš—οΈ pH: 5.8 β€’ ⚑ EC: 1.92 mS/cm β€’ πŸ’¨ COβ‚‚: 450 ppm β€’ πŸ’‘ Light Schedule: 18/6 β€’ πŸ’§ Irrigation: 1.2 litres per plant per day Although daytime temperatures climbed slightly this week, the plants continued growing vigorously with no signs of stress, demonstrating just how resilient healthy plants become when the root zone remains stable. πŸ₯₯ Feeding & Irrigation One of the biggest differences between this project and my previous organic soil grows is the irrigation strategy. Because coco doesn't store nutrients the same way soil does, the plants are fed little and often rather than receiving larger irrigations every few days. Each plant now receives approximately 1.2 litres of nutrient solution every day through the automatic Mars Hydro drip irrigation system. A drip irrigation system slowly delivers nutrient solution directly onto the growing medium through small emitters positioned at each plant. Rather than watering by hand, every irrigation is delivered evenly and consistently, ensuring every plant receives exactly the same amount. Once the nutrient solution has travelled through the coco, the excess runoff drains away through the automatic drainage system beneath each grow bag. This is just as important as the irrigation itself. Removing runoff prevents old nutrient solution from accumulating around the roots, helping maintain a healthier and more stable root environment while dramatically reducing the daily workload. As someone who has spent years hand-watering plants, I genuinely appreciate how much time this system saves while improving consistency at the same time. The current feeding schedule is: β€’ Plagron Hydro A β€” 1.9 ml/L β€’ Plagron Hydro B β€” 1.9 ml/L β€’ Plagron Hydro Roots β€” 1 ml/L The slight increase from last week continues producing exactly the response I was hoping for, with richer colour and strong, healthy new growth. πŸ•ΈοΈ Preparing the SCROG This week also marked another exciting milestone. The SCROG net officially entered the grow. SCROG stands for Screen Of Green. Rather than allowing each branch to grow vertically on its own, a horizontal net is placed above the canopy. As branches grow through the openings they're gently guided sideways, encouraging the plant to spread across the entire growing area. Instead of producing one dominant cola, the plant develops dozens of equally exposed flowering sites. The result is a flatter canopy, more efficient light distribution and, hopefully, a much larger overall harvest. At this stage the net isn't there to hold flowers. It's there to guide the architecture of the plant. Over the coming weeks I'll continue weaving each branch through the net one square at a time, allowing the canopy to fill naturally before flowering begins. Watching this process unfold is honestly one of my favourite parts of growing. 🌿 Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B Plant B continues living up to the personality she's been developing since the beginning. Calm. Balanced. Methodical. She isn't trying to be the tallest plant in the tent.Instead she's quietly building an incredibly organised structure that should become a fantastic SCROG candidate over the next few weeks. Sometimes the plants that grow the slowest early on end up delivering the biggest surprises later. I'm very curious to see whether she's one of them. πŸ‘€ Looking Ahead Next week should be all about training. With the SCROG now installed and both new leaders growing strongly after topping, the real canopy shaping begins. From here onwards the objective changes completely. We're no longer trying to grow taller plants. We're trying to grow wider ones. Every branch will now be guided with one simple goal... To create an even canopy capable of making the absolute most of every photon produced by the Zamnesia Phytonaut LED. The adventure is becoming even more exciting. πŸ’™ Thank You A huge thank you goes to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these incredible 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 making my transition into coco both enjoyable and educational. A special thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that has become an essential part of this project. Although this isn't a sponsored product, it's one of those pieces of equipment that simply works. It has brought consistency, cleanliness and peace of mind to the grow room while allowing me to spend more time with the plants and less time managing runoff. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers from all 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 reading these updates. Whether you've been here since the first seed cracked, recently discovered Project Blue Tent, leave comments every week, quietly follow along, or simply enjoy the photographs, every visit, every conversation, every question and every word of encouragement helps make this journey even more rewarding. I hope you're all having an amazing week, and I can't wait to share the next chapter of this adventure with you. Until then... Growers Love, happy growing, and I'll see you all next week. πŸŒ±πŸ’™

ploughing on ahead this week , i have removed some lst ties from each plant . focusing on leaf tucking . Since we are now in flower. I did a little defoliation for the topped crinkle to remove bud sites that would not reach the canopy . otherwise these have not been stressed at all it seems , ive only leaf tucked and lst , more pics coming soon we are at full power - 200w . thinking of upgrading

Hey guys :-) This week she has developed very well. For reasons of time, I topped them again on all the drives that were already high :-) Unfortunately, there is still some time until there is room in the blossom tent. That's why I'll have to train them a little more πŸ˜‚. Was poured 3 times this week with 1 l each. (nutrients see table above) Since there are still trips in the vegetarian tent, the next few weeks will be treated again with nematodes and neem oil :-( . Otherwise everything was cleaned.

This week I noticed I overdid it a bit with the fertilizer, so I just watered it. I also noticed that this lamp in a 60x60 can't be too close as per the manual, but you have to keep them at least 60cm apart (at least in my case) to avoid damage or light stress. As for the rest, I have to say it's doing well! 😍

Germination went well - 100% success rate. Seedlings look healthy and seems to be growing well/ I'm not able to get air temperature above 18 degrees Celsius during the day cycle but I don't think that will be an issue with this strain.

Week 26 - bud shots! Growmies, why did I defoliate so late? Look at these nugs. Had I taken more leaves away earlier, they would've gone bigger. But I'm not complaining. This is going to be a HUGE harvest and a new record for me. The buds are frosty and the smell is so yummy. I want to harvest them already but my weather station predicts another week of sunshine so why waste it? I'm really happy with this strain. It's uncomplicated and seems to thrive despite my neglect. Well done, Super Sativa Seed Club. And thanks again, Johnny, for believing in us

Organic, I'm on day ~55, but the flash photo was taken on day 50. I've had some problems, but it's looking like they'll hold out until fully ripe. Trichs are starting to look cloudy, but new pistils are still forming aggressively. I'll try for 1 more week. Lower nugs are taking their time to finish.

The cannabis strain Grape Guava can be a purple strain, depending on its specific phenotype and genetic makeup. While not all phenotypes of Grape Guava are purple, some variations, such as the Zatix Grape Guava, are noted for their striking purple appearance due to the genetic expression of anthocyanin pigments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKdVmdoKJ5k In a garden of green, Grape Guava gleams, With its fruity aroma, enchanting dreams. Clusters of grapes, guava's sweetness ignite, A strain so divine, in purple and white. Euphoria whispers, a lush fruity haze, Grape Guava's embrace, a tranquil daze. Off and away.@1400ppm. The increased CO2 allows plants to thrive at higher temperatures, which in turn necessitates higher humidity to maintain the ideal VPD for healthy growth and transpiration. 80F -5F = 75F LST with 70% RH = 0.72 kPa. Higher temperatures and humidity promote rapid growth, nutrient uptake, and photosynthesis while maintaining a lower stress level. Temperature influences the rate of enzymatic reactions involved in aerobic respiration. Enzymes, such as those involved in glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain, work most efficiently at an optimal temperature range. In low temperatures, enzymatic activity will slow down, thus reducing the rate of aerobic respiration. In high temperatures, enzymes can become denatured, thus impairing their function and stopping the process of aerobic respiration. Glucose is the primary fuel for aerobic respiration. The rate of aerobic respiration increases with the availability of glucose, as it is the starting point for glycolysis. If glucose levels are low, cells may rely on alternative energy sources such as fatty acids or amino acids , but these processes may yield less ATP or be less efficient. To determine this effect, carbon dioxide volume was measured (as carbon dioxide is an output of aerobic respiration) 18/6 with the 6 being IR. The near infrared (IR-a) borders around 700nm up to 1400nm @ photon par flux density of 1.8 instead of darkness, keeping temps overnight a neat 77F-80F. Think of my tent as a lung. What goes in must come out. When the rate of air going out exceeds the amount of air coming in, it creates a negative pressure. Tent concaves (bends in). If set up correctly, your RH will begin to drop slowly to the desired level you set, and the extraction turns off when it reaches desired% RH. The plant, as it performs cellular respiration, will always be releasing more water into the air, so the RH% of the tent overnight will always increase, so long as oxidative phosphorylation is occurring. As soon as the RH% creeps back up to 55%, the extraction turns back on, over and over. This creates a strong pressure differential which will work wonders on your grow. Replicating high and low-pressure fronts in nature. Critical for oxygen diffusion at the critical time of peak cellular respiratory function.. Moisture will not transfer from a saturated atmosphere to another if that air is already at or above its saturation point, meaning the air can't hold any more water vapor. Once I understood that water is produced as a by product during cellular respiration, specifically at the very end of the electron transport chain (ETC) where electrons are finally transferred to molecular oxygen, the higher the RH of the air, the more resistance there is for more moisture to be added to that environment, and effects the ease with which it does so. But none of that water comes from the pot; it's pulled from the air. If you run high daytime RH, your medium/pot is 100% reliant on transpirational root pull to move water. ZERO evaporation happens across the atmosphere if the tent air has high RH%, the medium cannot release its water through evaporation. Once a canopy develops, light no longer slowly wicks and evaporates from the topsoil. The Soil-Plant-Atmosphere Continuum (SPAC) describes the continuous pathway and process of water movement, driven by a gradient in water potential, from the soil, through the plant's roots, stem, and leaves, and finally evaporating into the atmosphere through transpiration. There is evaporation, there is transpiration, and then there is evapotranspiration; Evapotranspiration (ET) is the combined total of two processes: evaporation (water lost directly from soil and surface water into the atmosphere) and transpiration (water released from plants to the atmosphere through their leaves). Evapotranspiration represents the total amount of water that moves from the medium into the air. There is no such thing as a medium with too much water, only a medium that retains too much for too long. The water must always flow efficiently from one atmosphere(Medium) to another(Air) in a timely manner. Moisture is a critical factor for bacterial growth and decay. Dictating how long it's allowed to sit in any one location for any given period is a key preferred control. To ensure a net reduction in a bacterial population, the rate of removal (ET) must exceed the rate of bacterial growth (decay rate), which is often modeled as a growth rate for the specific bacterium under the given conditions. By optimizing daytime VPD, we also optimize conditions for bacterial growth to explode exponentially above 77Β°F.. If water is allowed to sit in a medium without an escape within a timeframe, nothing good will happen. IF High RH is maintained overnight as well as during the day, placing 100% of water movement at the behest of daytime transpiration, roots can only pull where they can reach, and if soil is compressed above a certain point, moisture will become trapped in a medium with no way of moving day or night. This will begin the countdown for decay to take hold. When water stagnates in a medium, it loses oxygen, creating anaerobic conditions that foster the growth of harmful microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, which can produce toxins and disease vectors. Thigmomorphogenesis, the process by which plants respond to mechanical stimuli like touch by altering their growth and development, results in significant morphological changes to improve survival against mechanical perturbations. This complex response involves sensing touch and initiating physiological and genetic responses, leading to changes in form and structure over days or weeks. The process is triggered by physical forces such as wind, rain, or touch. Plants adapt to these stimuli by changing their shape and structure, which may include slower growth, thickened stems, or altered leaf development. Plants possess sophisticated mechanisms to detect even subtle mechanical stimuli and initiate responses. A variety of molecules, including calcium ions, jasmonates, ethylene, and nitric oxide, are involved in signaling these mechanical inputs. Touch can induce the expression of genes that encode proteins for calcium sensing, cell wall modification, and defense mechanisms. A plant exposed to constant wind may become shorter and sturdier. A plant that is touched frequently might grow more slowly to conserve energy and develop thicker cell walls. These changes increase a plant's resilience and ability to survive in harsh environments. Let's get Thiggy with it.
