💙 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. 💙🌱

------GENERAL COMMENT------ Girls are moving forward, a lot of growth for the week, the two strains are absolutely different in terms of structure. Unfortunately the three Candy Kush did not sprout, so I will run only this two girls for this cycle. Down a bit the watering mainly doing a feed every other day, trying to manage the root mass to expand. Choose to do natures candy also in veg since i'm using recharge regularly, is 0-0-0 not noticing a lot of EC raise with it, velo kelp came in to play also. One dose of sensi Cal Mag this week since i notice some paling going on, my medium is inert by the way. ------SM.BLUEBERRY COMMENT------ She is creating a lot of foliage compared to the AK, both are in the same hight. May top in a week, this will depend.

Week 11 for Peyote Zkittlez by @seedsman Even though she seems to be doing okay, I'm expecting a nice amount of side growth from all her colas but she's doing slower than I would expect. Maybe i give her a nice dry back this week... see if we can get extra root growth weather seems to be stable from here on out between 32-35 degrees. Actually thinking of running a super long extension cord to get a fan down there, but its a good 50 Meters from the house😂

This week has been slow. Weather has been really bad. Superskunk is now dry and I’ve started the cure. Dry weight came in at 42g so I’m happy with that. I had a little sample tonight and it wasn’t a nice smoke. Snow Ryder shouldn’t be to long now but the weather doesn’t look to good this week. The second super skunk isn’t still going strong. I found a couple of caterpillars on her but not much damage.

Some leaves are alredy yellowing indicating harvest time is nearing. I also shock stress the plant by reducing nutes to avoid harshness from my smoke. Just banana compost tea+plain water. Since this grow is in a supersoil, dropping the BigBud nute off in last 3 weeks to allow the microbes do its work. In 2weeks once trichomes are ready, i will chop one of the plant. Them colors on the strawberry is magical. Cant wait to dry them and cure to see the effects.

This plant was grown in pure coco with 30% perlite, one watering a day untill runoff, at the mid flowering i water once every 12hours. She does get very bushy and puts on all the weight at the end of flowering so i was a bit worried first but she blew up

A really fun grow comes to an end, the result is more than impressive from this strain. I grew a few critical cross autos in hydro, they all have their typical grow strength, especially at the beginning of flower but this one stood out. Started "normal" and then just didn't want to stop anymore and that with a very basic feeding regime. This strain can take stress and nutrients, what you get in return is some purple flowers that smell so amazing that you ask yourself why you are not only growing this strain :P I made some ice water hash from it and it was such a beautiful smoke. The potency is quite impressive in this one, it seems a lot of growers are to focused on THC levels but terpines decide where your high goes, this high is great and compared to other strains with a much higher THC numbers the purple queen auto can easily compete. The smell and flavor is super floral and fruity.

Week 24 of growth, and this is the second week of flowering for the Pineapple Upside Down. Flowering has clearly declared itself now, with the first pistils appearing across the plant. That part is good news, but visually, the plant still isn’t where I’d like it to be. The foliage color is off, and I’m being honest: it makes me question the final yield potential. This probably won’t be the best run, but there’s no reason to panic or to quit. The plan is to keep things stable, finish the cycle cleanly, and take the lessons. Important timing clarification: this cultivar is advertised at around 45 days of total flowering, so we’re not “around day 45.” We’re simply early in flower, and the plant is already showing pistils properly. Stretch has remained quite limited so far. Is that purely genetics, or is it also influenced by the plant not being in peak shape? Hard to say. Either way, in a grow tent, limited stretch is honestly a comfortable scenario. Feeding-wise, the key point isn’t “soft feeding.” We’re staying under EC 2.0, with 2.0 as a ceiling, but the real note for this week is: no PK booster yet. For now, we hold the base feeding steady, and we’ll introduce PK later, progressively, depending on how the plant responds. So the strategy is simple: stabilize the environment, avoid adding stress, and let flowering build at its own pace. Next week we’ll reassess color, vigor, and early bud development, then decide when and how to ramp up.

Just on autopilot now, have only had to water once a week since transplanting to 7 gallon pots, but I expect that to ramp up soon as I crank the lights up to 100% on week 5 of flower. I was using the standard 12/12 but watched a video where Kevin Jodrey mentioned an 11/13 on/off cycle works out a little better for some strains. We're going to see what happens with that over the next two weeks and will likely finish it out on that cycle. I topdressed a little today with some supersoil and plan to incorporate molasses with my next watering just for a nice last boost for the next few weeks of flower before the fade. Thanks for reading!
