Super busy with a move and a big garden reno. Sorry, this is the only update for this week

**Semaine 8 : Huitième Semaine de Floraison – Phase Ripening (8-14 avril 2026)** **Note :** Mise à jour hebdomadaire. On entre officiellement dans la phase **ripening** (mûrissement). Les données TrolMaster et GrowOps confirment une transition très propre et contrôlée. Tout se passe bien, sans aucun souci. ### Contexte et Objectifs de la Semaine Semaine 8 sur 12 totales : on passe du bulking pur au **ripening**. L’objectif n’est plus de faire grossir les buds, mais de les densifier, de maximiser la production de trichomes et de laisser la plante terminer sa maturation. Steering : passage progressif vers **génératif** (irrigations moins fréquentes, dryback plus marqué la nuit, baisse progressive de tous les paramètres). Changements appliqués cette semaine : - PPFD diminué progressivement (750 → 550) - Température et humidité baissées - EC réduit (2.6 → 1.5) - UV maintenu à 90 min/jour pour continuer à booster terpènes et résine **Petit tips éducatif : Pourquoi baisser progressivement en ripening ?** En phase ripening (dernières 4-5 semaines), la plante arrête de pousser en taille et concentre son énergie sur la maturation des fleurs. - Baisser le PPFD/DLI évite le stress lumineux et permet aux trichomes de grossir sans brûler. - Baisser la température (surtout la nuit) et l’humidité favorise la synthèse des terpènes et réduit le risque de moisissure. - Réduire l’EC évite l’accumulation de sels en fin de cycle et améliore le goût final. - Passer en steering génératif (dryback plus long) force la plante à « finir » ses buds et à concentrer résine et cannabinoïdes. Fait correctement, cela donne des buds plus compacts, plus frosty et avec un profil terpénique plus prononcé. ### Observations des Plantes La plante dominante reste à **150 cm** avec une structure massive et une canopée bien remplie. Les buds sont **follement frosty** : couverts d’une épaisse couche de trichomes (sugar leaves très blanches), ce qui donne un aspect brillant et collant incroyable. La densité des buds est bonne et devient bien compacte, même si la taille reste raisonnable (j’ai déjà vu des buds plus gros sur d’autres variétés, mais ici la qualité prime). Odeur : très forte et agréable, mélange sucré/épicé/floral typique de Sticky Broccoli. Pistils majoritairement colorés et enroulés. Santé générale : parfaite, vert profond sur les feuilles restantes, zéro pest, zéro carence, zéro stress visible. Les plantes sont en pleine forme et concentrées sur la maturation. ### Paramètres Environnementaux (TrolMaster + GrowOps – synthèse semaine 8) - **Température jour** : 19-21 °C (cible 20 °C, live 20.3 °C) - **Température nuit** : 14-15 °C (baisse nette pour ripening) - **Humidité jour** : 48-58 % (cible 55 %, live 51.5 %) - **Humidité nuit** : 29-39 % - **VPD** : 0.9-1.3 kPa (live 1.16 kPa → bien adapté au ripening) - **PPFD** : 550 (baisse progressive, DLI ~24) - **UV Light** : 90 min/jour (maintenu) - **Far Red Light** : 30 min en fin de cycle - **CO₂** : setpoint 900 ppm jour - **EC solution** : 1.5 mS/cm (live ~1.62) - **pH solution** : 5.8-6.0 (live 6.27) - **Runoff EC** : 2.5-3 mS/cm - **Irrigation** : moins fréquente (transition générative) - **Runoff % daily** : 20-30 % - **Night dryback** : 20-30 % (augmenté pour ripening) - **Steering** : génératif (confirmé cette semaine) ### Nutrition et Irrigation (Soupe actuelle) La recette reste la même que les semaines précédentes, mais avec EC réduit à 1.5 : - Cocos A + B - CANNA PK 13/14 (dose légère) - Green Sensation suprimer - Pure Zym suprimer - Sugar Royal suprimer - Cal-Mag Amino 1 ml - Silica Force 1 ml - pH- pour ajuster Eau à ~20 °C. L’irrigation est maintenant moins fréquente pour accentuer le dryback nocturne et favoriser la concentration des buds. ### Problèmes et Ajustements **RAS total.** Aucune alerte, aucune carence, aucun excès. La baisse progressive de tous les paramètres se fait en douceur et les plantes répondent très bien. Le passage en ripening est maîtrisé. ### Plans pour la Semaine 9 - Continuer à baisser tranquillement : PPFD, température (surtout nuit), humidité et EC - Maintenir UV à 90 min/jour - Défoliation très légère si nécessaire (seulement les feuilles qui bloquent la lumière sur les buds inférieurs) - Photos rapprochées pour suivre la couleur des trichomes (passage vers ambré) - Préparer le flush (généralement à partir de la semaine 9-10 selon maturité) Ce journal sera mis à jour hebdomadairement. #GrowLegendary #Zamnesia #Plagron #EternityGrowCup2 Les buds sont magnifiquement frosty, denses et résineux, avec une odeur qui devient vraiment puissante. La qualité est au rendez-vous, même si la taille reste raisonnable. On continue la descente en douceur vers la récolte ! 🌱✨

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 3 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from Project Blue Tent! For those joining this journey for the first time, this project follows four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia, each documented in its own diary from seed to harvest. Although they all share the exact same environment, nutrients, and growing conditions, every plant is allowed to tell its own story and reveal its own unique expression. Everything in this tent is built around the Zamnesia ecosystem, while the ladies are growing inside Plagron Premium Coco Growbags and being fed exclusively with the Plagron Hydro nutrient line. Today we’re taking a closer look at Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B. ⸻ 🌱 Week Three – Building Momentum Week three has been another very encouraging one. Plant B has settled beautifully into her coco home and has noticeably increased her pace of growth throughout the week. She began this update as a compact young plant, but over the last several days she’s filled out nicely, producing larger fan leaves and noticeably stronger apical growth. Her structure remains short and sturdy, with tight internodal spacing and excellent symmetry. The side branches are beginning to develop with confidence, giving an early indication that she’ll produce a well-balanced canopy in the weeks ahead. One detail that immediately catches my attention is how vigorous the newest growth appears. Every day the center becomes denser, showing that the roots are now well established and supporting increasingly rapid development. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions One of the goals with Project Blue Tent is consistency. The entire ecosystem continues to perform exactly as intended, maintaining a stable environment throughout the week while the Phytonaut LED provides an even light distribution across the canopy. Average conditions this week were: * 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative humidity: 67% * ⚗️ pH: 5.8 * ⚡ EC: 1.61 mS/cm * 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm * 💡 Light schedule: 18/6 * ☀️ PPFD: approximately 350 At this intensity the plants receive plenty of energy to encourage compact vegetative growth without unnecessary stretching, while the stable environment allows them to focus entirely on developing healthy roots and foliage. ⸻ 🥥 Feeding Adjustments Coming from years of growing almost exclusively in living soil, growing in coco has definitely become an enjoyable learning experience. This week all four plants began showing a slightly lighter shade of green than I normally like to see. Nothing dramatic or concerning, but enough to tell me they were ready for a little more nutrition. Instead of waiting for deficiencies to develop, I prefer making gradual adjustments before the plants begin struggling. For that reason I increased the base feeding schedule. Current nutrition now consists of: * Plagron Hydro A — 1.6 ml/L * Plagron Hydro B — 1.6 ml/L * Plagron Hydro Roots — maintained at the previous dosage This small increase raised the EC slightly and should provide enough additional nitrogen and overall nutrition for the foliage to regain a richer green over the coming week. Every grow teaches something new, and coco rewards small, measured corrections rather than aggressive changes. ⸻ 🚿 The Unexpected Flood No grow is ever completely free of surprises. This week mine arrived in the form of an irrigation mishap. After switching on the irrigation system, one small mistake resulted in the tent flooding far more than planned. Thankfully, it looked much worse than it actually was. The first step was simply shutting everything down, grabbing a pile of towels, cleaning the tent thoroughly and checking that every component was still working correctly. Fortunately, because these plants are growing in coco, the situation remained under control. Coco retains excellent oxygen levels even after heavy watering, making it much more forgiving than traditional soil in situations like this. After allowing everything to dry back slightly, normal irrigation resumed without any visible stress to the plants. Sometimes growing isn’t about avoiding mistakes. It’s about solving them calmly when they happen. We’re already working on a permanent improvement for the irrigation setup, and I’ll happily share that solution once everything is installed in the coming weeks. ⸻ 🌿 Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B This phenotype is developing into a very attractive little plant. She has a sturdy central stem, broad leaves, and compact spacing between nodes, giving her a naturally bushy appearance even without any training. The petioles are beginning to show subtle reddish-purple pigmentation, while the newest leaves emerge with beautiful vigor before gradually maturing into the larger fan leaves. Although her colour is still a touch lighter than my personal preference, her posture tells the real story. Leaves are reaching upward. Growth is continuous. The plant looks happy. Sometimes plants communicate much more through their posture than through their colour alone, and Plant B certainly appears eager to keep growing. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should be an exciting milestone. With the feeding now adjusted and the roots continuing to colonize the entire growbag, I expect noticeably faster vegetative growth and stronger lateral branching. I’ll continue monitoring leaf colour, growth rate and overall structure while preparing these ladies for the next stage of development. Every week they seem to reveal a little more of their individual personalities, and I’m excited to see exactly where Plant B takes us from here. ⸻ 💙 Thank You A huge thank you goes to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these fantastic Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A sincere thank you as well to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line that is helping these plants thrive. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document their journeys, exchange ideas, and learn from one another every single day. And finally, thank you to every single person following along. Whether you’ve been here since the very beginning, recently discovered these diaries, leave comments every week, quietly observe from the background, or simply enjoy watching these plants develop, your support is genuinely appreciated. This project is about sharing the complete journey—the successes, the unexpected challenges, and everything in between. I hope you’re all having an amazing week, and I look forward to seeing you again in the next update as these beautiful ladies continue their adventure. Until next time… Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙 P.S. One final shout-out has to go to the Zamnesia ecosystem itself. As messy as the irrigation mishap looked, the Zamnesia tent tray proved exactly why it’s part of the setup. Every drop of water was safely contained inside the tent, with absolutely nothing leaking onto the floor. What could have become a much bigger problem ended up being nothing more than grabbing a few towels, drying everything up, and carrying on with the grow. Sometimes you only discover how valuable a piece of equipment is when something goes wrong—and this week, the tray passed that test with flying colours. Huge thanks to Zamnesia for designing an ecosystem that’s ready for real-world growing, not just the perfect days. 💙🌱

# La germination c'est bien passé la graine était foncée et tigrée. Elle a sortit son germe dans le verre d'eau et c'est enraciné en +/-96h avec un petit peu d'aide. 💯 Jusqu'à présent Zamnezia seeds 🌱🌱🌱 # 08/14: zamnezia ma fait cadeau de 3x3 graines pour essayer leurs variétés. Donc un grand merci à zamnezia ! Je n'ai mit que une graine de GSC auto zamnezia seed à germer aujourd'hui pour ce qui est de la méthode de culture j'hésite encore car je viens d'acquérir un waterfarmer de chez GHE: un système par percolation. Enfin j'ai +/- 5 jours pour me décider ! D'ailleurs si quelqu'un a des conseils à mes donner quand à l'utilisation d'un système hydroponique par percolation, je suis preneur ! Great day at the growdiaries.com communauté 🌞🌱🌱🌱🌞 À peine à 7 heures après l'avoir mise dans le verre d'eau que la voilà déjà au fond du verre d'eau. 💦🌞🌱😜 08/15: depuis 24h dans le verre d'eau Hr: 70% T°: 23°C et toujours rien aucun germe, l'effet loupe du vere ma permit de voir que la graine s'ouvrait comme un moule, le germe devrait pas tarder à sortir. normalement d'ici 24h le germe devrait être apparent. normalement je met +/- 5 jours pour faire germer une graine! j'hésite encore quand à l'utilisation du waterfarmer car je doit tamponé les billes d'argiles aisi que que le rockwool chose que je n'avais pas anticipé, pour le rockwool ça semble plutôt simple: trempé 24 h dans une solution ayant un ph entre 5.5 et 6 pendant +/-48 heureus (merde j'ai oublié d'ajouter du root juice et du canna start à ma solution). Pour les billes d'argilles ça deviend plus compliqué faut les nettoyer et les tamponer meme celle de chez plagron (je suis très étoner qu'ils n'aient pas tamponés eux même leurs billes destinés à de l'hydroponique. en faisant deux trois recherche j'ai trouver des billes déjà nétoyer ayant un ph bas mais pas précisé sois disant près à l'emplois. on verra ça demain à l'arrivé du colis. dans tous les cas si je n'utilise pas le waterfarmer, j'utilserai un pot en geo-textile de 15L (lightmix/coco/perlite/humusLombric/guano/trichodermas) 3 portions de lightmix pour une de coco et d'humus, le reste lire la notice :D 23:03: je vois le radicule sortir fébrilement grâce au verre "nutela" 😂 qui ont un fond qui à un effet loupe , le waterfarmer sera pour le prochain plant :(, lesson a retenir, se documenter avant de faire quoique soit! 08/16: la graine à germer 💚 et la graine s'entre-ouvrait je voyais le vert/blanc des cotelydons dans l'ouverture. Je l'ai directement planter dans sont pot de 15L. 08/17: no news. Patience les amis 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️🌞 08/19: la voilà qui arrive fébrilement ✌️. D'ici ce soir elle devrait être droite ou presque :)#1

Ciao ragazzi e bentornati qui con me e la Mimorange🍊😉 Ormai ci siamo quasi! Manca giusto poco più di una settimana. I fiori stanno rallentato la crescita e i colori si stanno diventando più scuri con tonalità violacee.👍 Eh niente ragazzi! Ho pochi dettagli per voi perché sono andato in ferie e ho delegato la fine al mio socio. Spero continui tutto tranquillo.🤞 Grazie a tutti per aver guardato e restate sintonizzati per nuovi aggiornamenti. 🙏 Buona settimana e felice crescita 🌱 🌱🌱

🌸 Week 4 Flower – RollerCoaster Haze 🌸 The girls are now deep into flower, and they are nothing short of stunning. Both phenos are stretching tall, stacking sites beautifully, and building those early bud formations that promise something special. White hairs are everywhere, and the canopy is vibrant, full of life, and thriving. This week I cleaned the lowers again, focusing energy on the tops. The roots are still showing off their strength, breaking through the soil and proving how powerful this foundation is. You can really see how the balance of soil and feed is driving such healthy growth. 💧 Feeding Recipe (Aptus + Plagron) This week, the nutrition is a beautiful synergy between Aptus and Plagron lines, all dialed in at 1ml/L: • Aptus Regulator • CalMag Boost • Aptus All-in-One Liquid (light, occasional, as soil still has pellets) • Plagron Green Sensation • Plagron Sugar Royal • Plagron Power Buds Solution runs around pH 6.0–6.1, with EC balanced to keep the soil’s natural charge in mind. Roots, stalks, and leaves are showing us this recipe is working wonders. Environment • Soil Temp: ~24°C • Room Temp: ~29°C • Humidity: ~67% • VPD: ~1.37 kPa Slightly warm, but managed with airflow and care — and the plants are clearly thriving under these conditions. 🌱 Reflection This week is a reminder of the beauty of balance. By combining nutrition strategies, experimenting, and adapting, the garden rewards us with strength and health. RollerCoaster Haze is branching massively, with countless bud sites forming — a true example of how much potential can come from testing, learning, and trusting the process. The journey is as much about mistakes and improvisation as it is about success. And right now, these girls are teaching us that with a strong foundation, nature does the rest. ✨ The ride continues — RollerCoaster Haze Week 4 Flower is in full bloom! 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Week 2 - I gave up on 2 that only grew a tail, didn't make it through transplant. 3 healthy plants now! I keep hurrying them deeper in their dirt. Excited to see the progress!!

Probably looking at next week for a tentative flush and harvest. Some leaves starting to yellow from maturation, and pistils are getting to where they need to be, with some new white ones still being thrown up on both plants. The smell is strong and exquisite, pungent and sweet. Resin production also looks to be coming along nicely, covering leaves alongside frosty trichomes. Quite a few buds and whole branches have that snow covered look that can’t be beat. Won’t be able to hand water this week so leaving it to the auto waterer with reduced nute concentration. Cheers

What do you think about these first days? The humidity is not much stable but I’m planning to buy a humidifier in the next week.
