Even though it says 80 Gallon pot, it’s really 400, it just glitches out when I enter 400 and converts to say only 80. I know she looks bad! I know. She has only been managing a nutrient lockout with horribly low pH for far too long! The Hydrated Lime has indeed fixed the pH! Resulting in my next inbound set of problems. The original soil from the second 2.3L pot she was in was too strong! She needs to get her roots out into the larger pot, but that only gives her so much more space. Plus in that larger black plastic pot, the hot dry sun at 7,000 ft in elevation, really heats up those pots! When it’s 98F later, that sounds like torture! Maybe it was enough to balance out the more concentrated stuff towards the inside of the root mass. But I don’t want her roots to stop there! The time is now for her to go into the 400!!! The soil is 6.5 pH through and through. The peas are about to bloom! She has just avoided lockout and is picking up momentum! The 400 gives her a huge diameter for her roots! Something I sincerely hope her genetics will take advantage of. The soil is rich and alive! The temps in 400 will be so much better! Now I must prepare for my Arch Nemesis! The Butterfly!!!!!! Lol But seriously. They find my plants attractive, and decide to serve my plants as food for their offspring!!!! Not okay! Last year their success rate on my plants was a fat 0!! But they did some serious damage! I am prepared this year!! I will watch with vigilance for any butterflies around my plants specifically. I will spray my plants down regularly with diatomaceous earth! Not too much obviously! I know less is more when spraying that stuff! No mother wants to give her children food with razor blades in it! And as always there is always next year! I can’t let a phase of mice and men get the better of me. However!!… that’s what I said LAST YEAR!!!! Lol. This year IS next year! Anyways she looks rough right now on Day 58 but I tell yah what, she has very recently made a dramatic turnaround for the better!! …I hope! Happy Growing! StrongTrees💪🌳

Good plant

She gets really nice colors now- starting to eats what compensates in fan leaves. 🍁 Flowers not fattening as I expected. I wasn’t able to check and correct past two week due to absence. Plenty mistakes on the first coco grow but overall I’m really enjoying what I see.

She's looking super beautiful after the stretch,she looks strong and ready for full flower let's see how this beautiful California girl performs! 💚 🌱 ✌️

800 ml water every day Ph 6.5 Guanogalong veg perls + Guanogalong flowering powder 4 times per week with nutrients 3 times per week clean water

I did a big defoliation and lollipop on day 14

mid week 6. lezgoo.

I think she's going to make it. but she need the proper feeding wich im in big doubt right now. (Updated) 5/7/20 (SHES KILLING IT, NOW I HAVE THE CORONAVIRUS CURE :)👍💪😁

CHERRY COLA AUTO / FASTBUDS WEEK #13 OVERALL WEEK #8 FLOWER This lady is grown inside I did a full diary on this strain already If you want to look at the plant in veg however now she grown inside and almost done with her flower stage as you can see her beautiful deep purple buds just covered in trichomes that are super sticky and the aroma coming off her is amazing!! Stay Growing!! Thank you for taking a look it's much appreciated!!! Thank you FASTBUDS!! FASTBUDS / CHERRY COLA AUTO

SUNDAY 4/21: I fed them about 1/3 gallon each today. Switched to Beastie Bloomz and increased terpinator. I inspected them for nanners and found none today. Will take some photos tomorrow- MONDAY: Too busy with life to spend much time in the garden today. TUESDAY: I rearranged and took some photos today. WEDNESDAY: I took some photos and a video. I watered all but one of the C4 hybrids today. Only the best one still needs water..tomorrow- THURSDAY: I watered with about 1/3 gallon and included some terpinator, calimagic, and beastie bloomz. I did a bunch of training on them to get some separation and better light penetration into the lower flowers FRIDAY: I did some more training on them today and I made some improvements to my fresh air a/c intake in the tent that dropped the temp a couple of degrees, and the new dehumidifier is keeping the RH right where I want it..45-50%.👌 This allows the evap cooler to be more effective at cooling as well...above 50% RH and it's basically just a fan..

Completed 1st week of flower and did a major defoliation a couple days ago, but you can't tell anymore. Growth is picking up as a few heads already popped through top screen. Also upgraded my exhaust fans to the AC Infinity w/ Humidity Controller. Wow, what a big difference!

LAST 3 days before HARVEST👨‍🌾

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 5 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno A (Folder 13A) Welcome back everyone to another week inside Project Blue Tent! If this is your first visit, welcome aboard. This project is dedicated to exploring the incredible Blue Waffle F1 genetics from Zamnesia while putting the complete Zamnesia ecosystem through its paces. Rather than growing multiple plants as one crop, every phenotype is documented individually, allowing each one to tell its own story despite sharing the exact same environment, nutrients, lighting and care. Unlike our 8×8 Adventure, where different cultivars grow together, Project Blue Tent focuses on understanding every subtle difference between identical F1 genetics. Every week we watch these plants develop, compare their structures, and discover how each expresses its own unique personality. As we like to say... We are not just growing seeds—we are discovering individual personalities. This week has been one of the most exciting since the project began. Plant A has responded beautifully to last week's topping, the feeding adjustments have brought back the deep green colour we were looking for, the SCROG net has officially been installed, and one important upgrade has made the entire irrigation system safer and more reliable. Sometimes the biggest progress isn't measured by the plants alone. Sometimes it's the grow room that evolves alongside them. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Five – Everything Comes Together Looking back over the past few weeks, it's incredible to see how quickly everything has started coming together. After establishing a healthy root system and recovering perfectly from topping, Plant A has exploded with vigorous vegetative growth. The canopy has become noticeably fuller, side branches have accelerated dramatically, and every growing tip seems eager to compete for its place beneath the light. One of the biggest improvements this week has been her colour. The slightly lighter green we observed over the previous weeks has completely disappeared after increasing the nutrient strength. The foliage has returned to a rich, healthy green, confirming that the plants were simply asking for a little more food. It's always satisfying when the plants respond exactly as you hoped. Sometimes they don't need rescuing. Sometimes they just need to be heard. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ The Blue Tent Environment The environment continues to be one of the strongest aspects of this project. Even with warmer summer conditions outside, the Zamnesia ecosystem has continued providing a remarkably stable environment, allowing the plants to focus entirely on growing instead of constantly adapting to fluctuations. This week's average conditions were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 30°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 27°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 58% • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.92 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • ☀️ PPFD: approximately 350 The Phytonaut LED continues producing an even spread of light across the canopy, while the Grow Environment Controller quietly keeps everything stable in the background. When the environment remains consistent, every adjustment we make becomes easier to evaluate. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding Update This week's feeding program remained wonderfully simple. One of the things I'm genuinely enjoying about growing with the Plagron Hydro line is just how uncomplicated everything is. There are no complicated recipes or endless bottles to keep track of. The plants are currently receiving: • Hydro A – 1.9 ml/L • Hydro B – 1.9 ml/L • Hydro Roots – 1 ml/L Along with very small pH adjustments whenever necessary. That's it. Coming from many years of growing organically in living soil, I've been pleasantly surprised by how stable the nutrient solution remains throughout the week. Once everything is mixed and adjusted, it simply stays where it should. Even better, the increased feeding strength has delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The richer green colour has returned across all four plants, new growth is vigorous, and the entire tent looks happier because of it. Sometimes simple really is better. ──────────────────────── 💧 Learning From Experience – Installing the Drainage System One of the biggest upgrades this week wasn't made to the plants themselves. It was made to the room. Back in Week Three we experienced a small flood caused by the drip irrigation system. It wasn't anything catastrophic—we cleaned everything up with towels and carried on—but it reminded me of something I've always believed. Automation is wonderful. As long as it's supported by good safety systems. Rather than hoping it would never happen again, I decided to improve the entire setup. This week I installed the Mars Hydro Auto Drainage System alongside the existing drip irrigation system. The concept is beautifully simple. The drip system feeds each plant from the main reservoir. Any runoff is collected inside specially designed trays beneath each grow bag. That runoff then flows into a small collection reservoir, where a compact pump automatically sends the water back into the main reservoir. The result is a much cleaner, safer and more efficient system that dramatically reduces the chance of standing runoff accumulating inside the tent. It creates something very close to a closed-loop irrigation system while keeping maintenance incredibly straightforward. Good automation isn't about removing the grower. It's about removing unnecessary problems so we can spend more time observing the plants instead of cleaning the floor. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ SCROG Time Another huge milestone this week was finally installing the SCROG net. Last week's topping created multiple new leaders, and this week those branches were growing so vigorously that it became the perfect moment to begin shaping the canopy. The goal of a Screen of Green isn't simply to hold branches in place. It's about guiding every branch horizontally, creating an even canopy where every future flowering site receives equal access to light. Rather than allowing one dominant stem to race ahead, the screen encourages every branch to become a potential top. Plant A has responded beautifully. Her branches remain flexible, healthy and easy to work with, making the first stage of weaving both enjoyable and incredibly rewarding. The framework is now beginning to take shape. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant A Herself Every week this phenotype reveals a little more of her personality. She isn't the largest plant inside the Blue Tent. She isn't trying to be. Instead, she's developing into one of the most balanced plants in the room. Her branching is wonderfully symmetrical, the internodal spacing remains tight, and every new shoot seems perfectly positioned to become another future flowering site. The topping has encouraged vigorous lateral growth, while the improved feeding has given her that rich green colour that instantly catches my attention every time I open the tent. Looking beneath the canopy, her structure is clean, open and well organised, which should provide excellent airflow as flowering approaches. She's becoming exactly the kind of plant I enjoy growing. Calm. Balanced. Healthy. And quietly preparing for what's coming next. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead Next week will be all about continuing to guide the branches through the SCROG while allowing the canopy to spread naturally across the screen. Most of the hard work has already been done. Now it's simply a matter of patience, gentle training and allowing the plants to keep doing what they do best. If they continue responding the way they have over the past week, I expect the Blue Tent to become a sea of perfectly level tops before long. Sometimes the biggest improvements don't happen because we force them. They happen because we create the right conditions and allow nature to do the rest. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you goes out to Zamnesia for making this entire project possible—from these beautiful Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A massive thank you as well to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags and the Hydro nutrient line that is feeding these ladies every single day. A special thank you as well to Mars Hydro for designing the drip irrigation and automatic drainage system that has become such a valuable addition to this grow. Although this isn't a sponsored product, it's one of those pieces of equipment that simply works. After our little flooding adventure a couple of weeks ago, this system has brought an extra level of safety, cleanliness and peace of mind to the grow room, allowing me to spend more time enjoying the plants and less time worrying about runoff management. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers from all around the world a place to document, learn and share our journeys together. And finally… Thank you to every single person reading these updates. Whether you’ve been following since day one, recently joined the adventure, leave comments every week, simply stop by to look at the photos, or even quietly disagree with my methods—you all contribute to making this community what it is. I genuinely appreciate every view, every conversation, every piece of advice, every question, every like, every criticism, and every bit of support. I hope you’re all having an amazing week, and I can’t wait to show you how these beautiful ladies evolve in the next update. Until then… Growers Love, happy growing, and I’ll see you all next week. 🌱💙

These lady's have formed very nice buds even have a few show purple 😍 this strain has been very good can't wait to see war other color pop off right it's the start of 6th week flower

I have been using eggshells and coffee grounds as fertilizer / it is indoors but i am growing out of a pot. I am trying to not use lamps (as I’m poor) or store bought fertilizer. Any suggestions or comments would be very helpful. The internode stems that are currently growing have odd shaped fingers / are not symmetrical. You can kind of see what I mean by the video. The leaves are wilting a little and are a little yellow ish. I have topped it and repotted in the last 11 days and it has looked healthy (no pests, no other abnormalities except for one leaf that came out a little screwed) since germination. Currently know it is a GG4 seedling/plant.

Transplanted the girls into 1 gallon pots and feed them some compost tea I brewed up. They seem to be taken it well no issues or signs of stress so I’m happy for now. Also foilar sprayed some neem oil to prevent gnats Stay tuned the girls are growing great

Well here she is into week 7 few days in her 2 week flush. The buds are super crazy dense. Doesnt look like she yeilded too much but we will see🙂👌

Mainlining is progressing nicely. The main stem was topped at the 3rd node, and each main branch was topped again at the 3rd node to build a clean and symmetrical manifold. I always wait until the branches have 5 nodes before topping, to make sure the plant is strong enough to handle the stress. This week I performed a selective defoliation and some light LST, only to guide the branches and keep everything level. I’m still deciding between 8 or 12 main colas, depending on how the plant continues to respond. In the video you can clearly see the before and after of defoliation and training 🌱💪

WEEK 6 Things are going wonderfully with my plant. Thanks to LST, I’ve managed to create a really nice, even canopy, and the plant is already blooming actively. I expect a solid stretch in the coming weeks, and I’m curious to see how it turns out. If things keep progressing like this, it’s shaping up to be a truly great grow. Aside from that, I watered once and fed once this week. The plant seems to have responded very well to the switch to Plagron nutrients. I’ve also set my light to 500 PPFD this week.
