Seventh week of flowering.

No problems with growth, buds rapidly putting on weight and smell is getting stronger each day! Had to cut down on nutrients slightly as I think was feeding a little more than she could consume. Looks like she will be fully ripened around or on the 8th week. I liked the fact she started with the Durban poison, sweet smell and then as she progressed into flower, the loud, dank Kush slowly creeps up before finally taking over the the sweet smell of the Durban poison. Right now as I wright this, the Kush smell has started to mellow down and mix into a nice sweet nutty scent.

24/09 - D17 since pistills. Busy day today. Full res change, with nutes modified to transition to bloom for the next couple of days before I bump her to full dose bloom 3 weeks from pistills showing. Also did some heavy defoliation. Started chopping with the intent of taking a few, but concerns around humidty levels have been in the back of my mind for awhile and given I was all geared up in the tent anyway I went to town. Removed a couple of weaker branches that were interfering with other sites, and took a large amount of lengthy and inward facing leaves. Walked away and came back and the difference was quite shocking (first grow!), but she looks better for it. Flowers are now exposed to light, and areas where moisture can get trapped have been dramatically reduced if not eliminated. Hopefully she responds well to her new haircut. Also came across my guard spider while sweeping out some leaves that fell behind the res, not sure what hes eating in there, maybe he just likes the smell! EC: 1.27, PH 5.8. 25/09 - Managed to get humidity down to 55 after the defoiation and leaving the door of the tent open. She seems to be happy after her haircut. PH dropping slowly at 5.7, EC stable at 1.27, water dropping. 26/09 - Small spot of PM on one sugar and one fan leaf. Wiped clean with a wet tissue and trimmed off. Will spray with diluted milk mixture at lights out and keep my eyes open for further infection. Modified setup a bit to try and bring the humidty down further and increase air flow, but struggling to get it below 55% even with a humidifer in the tent and the fan ramped up to max. Going to do a res change with full bloom nutes tomorrow so as not to prolong this grow longer than needs be. 27/09 - Full Res change to bloom nutes. 35ml Micr, 6ml Grow, 45ml Bloom. No new spots of PM seen, continuing with minor trimming when I spot any touching leaves as a preventative. RH finally pulled down into the 40's, and then my fan broke. Time to buy a new one. 28/09 - PH stable at 5.8, EC at 1.27. Going to try and leave well alone from this point forward unless issues arise or I see damp spots forming. Humidty finally down to 40%. 29/09 - PH and EC dropping. Topped off res with 8l of water at 50%. 13ml Micro, 3ml Grow, 20ml Bloom. PH 6.0, EC 1.3ish. 30/09 - PH 5.8, EC 1.17. Continuing to trim a couple of leaves here and there when I spot an overlap or blockage and pinch off tiny bud shoots below the canopy.

Semaine 8 : On continue le rincage pour la demoiselle, cette fois ci on arrête les Enzymes de METROP et l'eau au ph6 pour lui balancer que de l'eau claire. - Le développement en volument semble avoir ralentis mais le poids des bourgeons commence quand à lui à s'alourdir. - L'odeur embaume la chambre de culture, typique Terpene gelato - Tuteurisation par le haut d'autres branches - la sénescence continue son court Cut dans 7jours.

I grew this strain multiple times and still love it. So strong and so yummy. Can't wait to try her. She looks great 😻

Week 9 started so far they are looking great to me. 1 plant started almost exactly 1 week ahead of the other 2 (the plant with yellow pipe cleaner on some branches is the 1 plant that started to preflower ahead of the other 2 plants. ) it's really smelling great aswell. Pretty exciting to watch these autoflowers. Over night u get to see some crazy growth .. Been learning alot with this first attempt with autoflowers.. we're going to be starting up some more hopefully . But will update more photos during the week as they fill out . Getting closer , but no rush on these girls , their looking and smelling AMAZING .

Alaskan purple auto is growing great under the Medic Grow mini Sun-2. She should start bulking very soon. I have not done much, but add a little solution or water at times. 🤞🏻 for some nice flowers to form. Thank you Medic Grow, and Seedsman. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏻❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

The overall cycle had to deal with alot of heat issues and lighting so what they did product is certainly top quality flowers just short on there stretch period so will run again to make a certain opinion but as of now no hermis and all seeds flowered apart from one tiny plant 10 girls all to harvest shows stable genicitic traits from these girls also , height , bud structure colour shape smell all seem to be closer to a match of each other

This phenotype is growing strange…maybe it’s my eyes, time will tell.

4/27 I'm fairly certain that I watered everything. If not I only would've held off on a smaller plant that was about 17 grams over dry weight. Pretty sure I did them all though. Having a scale makes watering in these cups SO much easier. Had a rough few days with a lot going on so i uavent been writing as much. Transplant will be happening soon. Most plants have or are close to having there fourth node. I'm not going to top/FIM until after transplant and they've settled in nicely. The Kush plants are getting close to needing that transplant. I'm waiting for the leaves to go beyond the edge of the cup. Despite the fact that some havecthree fingered leaves hanging on their own stem. The transplants will go into 1/2 happy frog half ocean forest. All in all things are going good. Some plants will probably be transplanted this week. Plants in this diary are different ages. 4/28 I watered what needed it by the scale. A few were close but within range so I left them alone. I'll check later in the day and water when they are within range. It sucks sometimes because I need to make that decision over just a few points sometimes. I usually do it based on plant size and response. Oh well, these girls are out of seedling stage thats for sure. Realistically this week is closer to week one of veg then the seedling emerging on day one when i started this. I just wanted to get this diary started. Then I had to get replacement seeds as some didn't germinate. These girls are looking pretty good so ill probably save the other beans i have for next year. I MAY do a lilac/diesel auto from Ethos when it gets warmer but we'll see. I am wicked excited for this season. Planning to clean and sanitize grow area and wash pots today. Everything seems to be doing amazing. 4/29 I watered a few but many weren't in range yet. I'll be there later this afternoon and check again. Boy things are going good. Planning to grab the rest of my soil this morning. Things are popping off. Transplants will be coming soon. I just want that big rootball first before they go in the 1 gals. I picked up my soil but they shorted me 3 bags of haply frog. It was like a war zone there. Construction everywhere and people hollering at each other over the mechanical racket. Only the drive through was open. I did some quick calculations to reach what I needed for soil bit after they told me to go back in because "they didn't have it." I stop and get out and it went back on my card. Apparently they were hassling my legally blind disabled wife to move the car. She offered them the opportunity to do so but they would need to deal with me after. I wasn't in anyone's way. The car behind me went around me just fine. Anyway I remembered the little local store one town over. Ten minute drive and they have a deal where if you buy 5 bags of hf you it's only SLIGHTLY more than 3. I headed out that way but had to come home due to an emergency. They've got a bunch and they aren't in the city. I'll make it over there this afternoon or in the morning and pick up the rest of my happy frog. No roots organic 707 this year. It's the same price as ocean forest and I really like ocean forest. Lots see how they do with just happy frog and ocean. 4/30 Watered the front row of the aerogarden. Others seemed to be within range. Pretty sure I watered everything under the L.E.D. Things are moving forward. I've got a lot of work to do. I'm going to pick up my remaining soil. I need to clean and sterilize grow bags and the 1 gallon pots and I need to clean and sanitize the grow cage itself and do any little repairs that may need it. So far I'm pretty happy. I don't want to make a mistake and transplant to early. I think we may have an early season this year. It's been nice the past few days. 5/1 It's been hot the past few days. It's looking like we are going to have an early season which is totally OK with me. I WATERED TODAY. I think I did the entire aero garden. I watered the majority under the l.e.d as well. I think when it gets that close (weight wise) it doesn't REALLY matter whether they get that shot glass or not. As long as the weight is like 217 or something. Some plants have leaves going over the sides of the cup. I transplanted to early last time with seeds. Not REALLY to early but they could've stayed in the cups longer. And they take up less space that way but within a week I bet these girls will be transplanted and spending some time outside. I'm looking forward to it. 5/2 Plants are looking great. Watered everything I think. Some weights were high (e.g. 216) but I watered them anyway. I'm starting to be able to squeeze the cups and feel the roots. After I run these few errands and bring wife to the soctors I'll get the rest of my soil and I'll clean my 1 gal pots. The past few days they could've gotten some sunlight. It's been really nice out. Raining today. EDIT: PICKED UP THE REST OF THE SOIL FOR THE SEASON. PLANTS ARE DOING GOOD. SINCE THE FIRST BATCH WAS A LITTLE STUNTED SOME OF THE OTHERS ARE IN SIMILAR STAGES. I "COULD" TRANSPLANT NOW BUT ITS EASIER DEALING WITH THEM IN THE SOLOS. AS SOON AS I TRANSPLANT THEY'LL JUMP IN SIZE. I'LL NEED TO PUT AT LEAST ONE HPS LIGHT UP AS WELL. HOWEVER, IT'S BEEN NICE ENOUGH HERE THAT THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SPEND TIME OUTSIDE DURING PART OF MOST DAYS. LAST TIME I DID SEEDS I WENT WITH 3 GALLONS BUT IM GOING INTO 1'S THIS YEAR WITH FINAL GROW BAGS RANGING FROM 20G-50G. I USIALLY USE A MIX OF FFOF, FFHF, AND ROOTS ORGANIC 707 IN EQUAL PARTS. THIS YEAR I'M USING ONLY THE FOX FARM SOILS. IVE DONE THIS BEFORE WITH GOOD RESULTS. 5/3 WATERED EVERYTHING BUT ONE TENTH PLANET AND THE ONE BEHIND IT WHICH I BELIEVE IS CHEM DOG #4. I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN I WATERED EVERYTHING UNDER THE L.E.D. These girls are ready for a new home. There's a couple that I Gould hold off on but some are at the point where they NEED A transplant. IT would be much easier to light and carry around in these cups but I want to veg indoors and on nice days bring them outside to harden off. There's only a COUPLE slow starters that could wait but only a couple. I have this year's soil. Just need to wash the pots and mis the soil and transplant. Today is busy but tomorrow is open so I'll be playing it by ear.

💙 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: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 30°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 58% • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.92 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • 💧 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. 🥥 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: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 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. 🕸️ 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. 👀 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. 💙 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. 🌱💙

Flower work well out so far Ec stacking too 21.7 : we going from today at 1100ppm CO2

I received the clones from An out of province breeder. It reached me after three days of driving on the road with no light. Their future was not certain. I didn’t think I would need that many fans for the clones because they are so tiny, I figured they didn’t need that much maintenance. I was 100% wrong when I’m working with this many plants. I ended up getting mild mildew on top of the soil on the first week because there was barely any air circulation. At this point I didn’t have any Ventilation put up yet. And one fan on the floor. I ended up installing three fans in one room. No issues

First day of my first Grow Diary, friend gave me these so I thought I would see what they got, 4 x washing machine and 2 x Jaffa Cake, I will be scrogging, topping and performing some LST to open them up. Transplanted cuttings straight into the 12lt pots, I used the white shark powder around the root area during transplant. Food Making Notes: 1. Canna A, Canna B, Startbooster 2. Measured E.C at 1.2 3. pH'd from 6.5 down to 5.8 4. Added White Shark (just a sprinkle) Feeding was done primarily around the root zone, after a few days I will begin to saturate the whole medium. Update (+3 days): - Washing Machine have really settled in and has had some great growth, I have started doing LST and topping at the 4th node, video and pictures added. - Jaffa Cake not doing so well at the moment, they seem to have transplant shock, I am taking it easy for the moment, spraying them with a Super Thrive foliar spray, within the next feed I am planning to reduce the E.C to 1.0 and add super thrive to the food, along side the start booster and great shark. Update (+6 days) - Washing machine growing really well, got two growing perfectly and two of growing three leaves and many branches. - Jaffa Cake is now recovering from it's transplant shock, made a dome for them to create a high humidity environment while rooting in the pot, dome was sprayed with a mix of water and super thrive, I also made up a different batch of food with 50% of the nutrients, E.C around 1.0 (500pm).

Stretch is done and flowers are piling on now! I treated with lost coast as a preventative. I kept the feed the same but it will be altered end of grow week. Canopy is getting hella full can't wait to watch these colas stack on. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Day 56 The plant is looking very healthy and vigorous at this stage of flowering. The canopy is completely filled out under the SCROG net, and the structure is well maintained, allowing all the main colas to receive even light exposure. Bud development has really accelerated over the past week; the flowers are stacking nicely and the buds are noticeably denser than before. There is a visible increase in trichome production, with sugar leaves already showing a heavy coating of resin. The aroma is becoming stronger and more complex, with a noticeable sweet and earthy scent whenever the tent is opened. The leaves are a deep green color, indicating that nutrient levels are well balanced at the moment. There are no visible signs of major deficiencies or toxicity, although some of the older fan leaves at the bottom are starting to fade slightly, which is normal for this stage of flowering. The plant appears to be focusing its energy on bud production rather than vegetative growth, which is exactly what I want right now. Pistils are still mostly white, but some are beginning to turn orange, which suggests the plant is approaching its final weeks
