💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 10 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B 🌸 Let Her Do Her Thing Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter inside Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If you've been following this project, you'll know that the last few weeks have been full of action. Long vegetative growth. Aggressive stretching. SCROG training. A second SCROG. Major defoliation. Moving the ventilation system. Raising the LEDs. Improving airflow. Adjusting the nutrition. We certainly haven't been standing around doing nothing. 😂 But this week? We're doing something very different. We're watching. And honestly... when I look at Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B right now, I don't think she needs me doing much else. 🌿 PHENO B – LET HER DO HER THING Pheno B is looking absolutely beautiful. She's sitting at approximately 145 cm and has developed a fantastic flowering structure after the work we carried out over the previous weeks. And this is where I think patience becomes one of the most important tools a grower has. We made the big interventions. We opened the canopy. We removed unnecessary congestion. We added the second SCROG. We created more vertical space. We improved the airflow. We gave the branches additional support. Now the plant needs time to respond. There is no point constantly changing things simply because we feel like we should be doing something. Sometimes... the best intervention is no intervention. 😂💙 So this week, we're letting Pheno B recover, settle into her new structure, and continue putting her energy into flowering. And she's doing a beautiful job of it. 🌸 THE RESULTS OF THE PREVIOUS WEEKS One of the most satisfying things about this week is being able to look back at the work we performed earlier and actually see the results. The heavy defoliation dramatically changed the structure of the plant. At the time, it was a big decision. The canopy had become extremely dense, and we needed to create more space between the branches and flowering sites. But the goal was never simply to remove leaves. The goal was to make the plant more manageable. Now we're seeing the benefit. The structure is much easier to read. The flowering sites are more visible. Air can move through the plant more freely. The branches have room to develop. And Pheno B doesn't look like she's missing the foliage we removed. She's simply continuing forward. That's exactly what we wanted. 🌿 This is one of those moments where you have to trust the work you did several weeks earlier. You can't rush this part. You just watch. 💡 INTRODUCING LUMIFLORA UNDER-CANOPY LIGHTING There is, however, one new addition to the ecosystem this week. The **LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light** is now officially part of the experiment. And with Pheno B's size, I think the timing makes perfect sense. The main LEDs are doing an excellent job illuminating the upper canopy. But these plants have developed so much vertical structure that the lower portions naturally receive considerably less direct light. That's simply the nature of a large, dense flowering plant. So instead of continuing to remove more foliage simply to chase light penetration, we're trying another approach. We're bringing some light to the lower canopy. The LumiFlora is a **150W full-spectrum fixture**, with additional red emphasis, and we're positioning it underneath the canopy as supplemental lighting. The main fixtures remain responsible for the primary light source. The LumiFlora is there to complement them. I'm particularly interested in watching how the lower flowering sites develop now that they're receiving additional supplemental light from underneath. This isn't about replacing the overhead lighting. It's about giving the lower part of this very large plant another opportunity to receive useful light. And now... we watch. 💡🌱🌸 🕸️ THE SECOND SCROG IS DOING ITS JOB The second SCROG is another part of the setup that I'm very happy with. Pheno B has a lot of vertical growth, and as the flowers continue to develop and gain weight, having that additional support becomes increasingly valuable. The first SCROG helped us organize the plant. The second SCROG is now helping support the flowering structure. It's a simple concept, but with plants this size, that additional layer of support makes a huge difference. We're no longer trying to force the plant into a particular shape. We're simply giving the branches somewhere to rest and something to support them as they develop. And that's exactly where I want to be at this stage. 🌬️ AIRFLOW – KEEPING THINGS MOVING The airflow system is also staying exactly where it is. We've got airflow working above and below the canopy, helping keep the entire structure moving. That's particularly important now that we've introduced supplemental lighting underneath the plants. The goal is to keep the lower canopy from becoming stagnant while maintaining good circulation throughout the upper flowering structure. Again... nothing dramatic. Nothing complicated. Just consistent airflow and a stable environment. And that's another reason why I'm not changing much this week. The system is working. So let it work. NUTRITION – NO NEED TO CHASE NUMBERS The feeding program remains consistent as well. The girls are continuing with the PLAGRON Hydro program: PLAGRON Hydro A — 2.2 ml/L PLAGRON Hydro B — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 PLAGRON Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L 🌸 PLAGRON Power Buds — 1 ml/L pH adjusted as required The plants are responding beautifully, so there is no reason to start changing things just for the sake of changing them. They're growing. They're flowering. They're drinking. They're healthy. So we continue. That's the approach now. Consistency. Observation. Adjustment only when the plants actually ask for it. 🌸 THIS WEEK IS ABOUT PATIENCE If I had to describe this week's update in one word, it would probably be: Patience. 😂💙 We've done so much over the previous weeks that it's tempting to keep doing more. But the plants don't necessarily need more intervention. They need time. Time to recover from the defoliation. Time to settle into the second SCROG. Time to continue flowering. Time to respond to the new lighting arrangement. And time to show us what all the previous work has accomplished. That's what we're doing now. We're watching. 🌿 PHENO B IS SHOWING US THE RESULTS Looking at Pheno B today, I can see the results of the entire process. The long vegetative period gave her the structure. The first SCROG organized the growth. The flowering stretch tested the limits of the room. The defoliation opened everything up. The second SCROG gave the branches support. The ventilation changes created more vertical space. The additional fan improved circulation. And now the LumiFlora is providing supplemental light underneath the canopy. It's almost like we're finally reaching the point where all those individual decisions are becoming one complete system. And Pheno B is right in the middle of it. 🌸 She's not asking for another big intervention. She's asking for time. So that's exactly what she's getting. 🌡️ CURRENT GROW CONDITIONS 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: approximately 145 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ☀️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 27°C 💧 Relative humidity: 61% ⚗️ pH: 6.01 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.49 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 26°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 24°C 🌬️ CO₂: approximately 666 ppm 💦 Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 8 L 💡 LumiFlora Under-Canopy: 150W Full Spectrum 🔬 SAME ROOM. DIFFERENT PERSONALITY. This is one of the things I love most about Project Blue Tent. Pheno B is sharing the exact same environment as her sisters. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same environmental targets. Same cultivation philosophy. And yet... she is still Pheno B. She has her own structure. Her own rhythm. Her own way of filling the space. That's exactly why we're documenting these plants individually. We don't just want to know how Blue Waffle F1 performs. We want to see how each individual phenotype expresses herself under the same conditions. And Pheno B is giving us a very interesting chapter. 🌸 FROM GROWING TO FINISHING We're now moving further away from the training phase and deeper into the finishing phase. The structure has been established. The canopy has been managed. The support system is in place. The environment is stable. The nutrition is consistent. The airflow is moving. And now the flowers get to become the main story. That's why I'm deliberately resisting the temptation to keep changing things. We've already done the work. Now it's time to see what the plant does with it. 💡 The LumiFlora gives us one new variable to observe. Everything else? We're keeping steady. Because sometimes the best experiment is knowing when to stop experimenting. 😂💙 🔭 LOOKING AHEAD Over the next few weeks, I'll be watching Pheno B closely. I'm particularly interested in: 🌸 Flower development throughout the canopy 💡 Response of the lower flowering sites to the LumiFlora 🌿 How the plant continues recovering from the defoliation 🕸️ How the second SCROG supports the developing flowers 🌬️ How the airflow performs through the mature canopy How the plants continue responding to the current nutrition But no major interventions are planned. The plant looks happy. The environment is stable. The structure is where we want it. So now... we let her work. 🌸💙🌿 🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these Blue Waffle F1 phenotypes individually. Thank you to PLAGRON for the Hydro nutrient line and for supporting these girls throughout this vigorous cycle. A massive thank you to Mars Hydro for the irrigation and drainage system that keeps the ecosystem running smoothly. Thank you to LumiFlora for the 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light, which we're now introducing into the experiment and watching closely as the plants enter this important flowering stage. And of course, thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document the entire journey. Most importantly, thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. We've spent weeks training these plants. We've managed the stretch. We've opened the canopy. We've added support. We've reorganized the room. We've improved the airflow. And now... we finally get to watch the results. 💙🌸 Pheno B doesn't need us to keep pushing her. She doesn't need another dramatic intervention. She needs time. So that's what we're giving her. Time to recover. Time to flower. Time to develop. And time to show us what she can do. Until next week... More flowers. More observation. Less interference. And hopefully... a whole lot more Blue Waffle F1 magic. 💙🌸🌿 Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

14/10/2023 - Day 139

Hi so the plants expanded rly rapidly after the beginning of week 3 and i started to tie the strong bottom branches fown so they wouldnt block any new nodes from light. I also continue to gently leaves that would block the new nodes from light. I also got additional ventilaton, in addition to the air intake. Actually i had a small accident where im sure i heard a branch snap like rly loud, for one moment i thought i killed it😰😨but there was no visual damage even after 5 days, i cant see that it would die off or feel lose, like it almost feels like its didnt mind too much about it. Like it was so loud i thought it was the main stamp for a sec, im really happy nothing too bad happened due that incident 😀 Video is from mid week 4

Perfectly easy grow.

Following the plan, the girls are beautiful and were already quite big during this stretching phase. I hope everything continues as it is now during this growth and weight gain phase. For the rest, just wait for time to pass. 🌱🌿✌️✌️

These two girls have gotten into "that's a big b*tch" territory! Absolutely massive plants just short of four feet tall and taking up half of the 4x8. Got their first haircut mid week, stripping off all of the lower third small branches and a large amount of inner fan leaves. They didn't skip a beat and just kept praying every day and chugging nutrient mix. Bud sites everywhere, hope these girls start lifting weights in preparation for all the buds their about to pack on. Lights 20" @ 90% 675-700 umol/s

and next week of this lady. nothing special i just let her grow. all nutrients are in ger section if not other mentioned all by maufactures instrucktions.

14/7/26 day 43 of flowering,beginning week 7. second video-20 days old clone,roots forming in process,was taken bud(🌲21 days flowering). 🌱 The clone was cut and planted directly into the soil,previously watered with Terra Vega and under a transparent dome with 18 hours of light.this method means manyfolding from one bud and ideally for scrog/LST technique.🤙🏻

4 of the 12 seeds from fast buds didn't pop so i am soaking some from 00 seeds hopefully all goes well with them

Looking great!

So I flipped them 2 weeks ago, they grew nearly 10 centimetres in a week and I was running out of space so I read a bit about super cropping and gave that a go. Waters up to 2 litres every 2 days, feeding 2 out of 3

When I began the contest I had only grown Magic Melon once before (last winter), it grew in an 18 litre pot, became around 4 feet tall, and completely filled a 3'x3' tent. A friend of mine successfully grew a seed I gave them this summer in a container about 4 litres and the plant was considerably smaller. The fact that it can be successfully grown in less than 250mL is astonishing, I have buds from the one grown last winter that are bigger than the can I grew this one in. Harvested 91 days from sprout.

Hi all the happy people here in GrowDiaries. This is my second cultivation ever and it will be fun to try a bigger space than my closet grows First, I'm just going to say I'm done with the construction of my new growroom. I put some pictures on the construction here in week one. The room is 2.14 meters by 1.7 meters and has a ceiling height of 2 meters. It provides a floor area of ​​3.6 square meters. I use a 54 Watt Lightwawe T5 for germination and 2 Pcs 400 Watt HPS lamps. I have a channel fan that replaces the room air about 40 times an hour to get a comfortable theme in the room, the air enters a fresh air intake from the outside. The air is purified through a carbon filter to then leave the room to the rest of the basement. Then I use that heat to heat the rest of the basement. I will use 8 pcs 15 liter Autopots to grow with and a 100 liter water tank that supplies the pots of water and nutrition. I will grow completely organically in soil and will watercure my buds to get the best possible medicine for me. But there are no cultivation rooms to be displayed here, so I continue with what is most important. Today I have put my seeds in my moisture dome and hope the seeds have germinated within a few days. I am very excited to see how the new growroom will work and how this CBD Fast Eddy plant from Royal queen seeds will turn out. CBD Fast Eddy Automatic is combining Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis, Fast Eddy is a rapid growing, flavourful, and CBD-rich auto strain that goes from seed to harvest in 8-9 weeks, produce generous yields, and induce a clear, mellow, and most importantly, functional high. THC: 9% CBD: High Yield Indoor : 400 - 450 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 80 - 130 gr/plant Height Indoor: 60 - 100 cm Height Outdoor: 80 - 120 cm Flowering: 6 - 7 weeks Harvest month: 8-9 weeks after sprouting Genetic Background: Cheese x Juanita la Lagrimosa x Ruderalis Type: Sa 50% In 40% Ru 10% Effect: Clear, Painrelief Climate: Mild .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Update 2017-08-15. Both seeds have germinated and planted in small pots inside the humidity dome. I'm so glad it worked so well and now it's just hoping they'll start growing and become 2 big healthy girls :) ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-16. I have mixed my own soil today. Its 40% sieved peat harrow H2-H4 0-30 mm, 45% sieved peat harrow H4-H6 0-30 mm. 5% sand and 10% of compost soil. And i use 15% of perlite and mix it all together. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Update 2017-08-20. These girls are much slower to germinate and to start growing than the other 6 girls I started at the same time. One of the germinated seeds split in half, so I had to take a new seed and germinate it. It took 2 days. It was just a smal taproots after germination with this strain as opposed to my Fastbuds cbd. But I hope everything goes well from now and that they live up to their name, Fast Eddy. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Update 2017-08-21. New pics. ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 2017-08-22. Nr1 dident make it and died. Started germinate a new seed to get another Nr1. .............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 2017-08-27. Nr 1 is in a small pot in humidity dome and i hope shes going to break the surface soon. Nr 2 is slow but doing fine. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-28. Nr2 is transplanted in 15 liter autopot. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. New movie of the girls Nr2. Its no water for 3 days now so the roots develop more and match the plant above the soil. The temp controlled fan is awesome, its easy to set what temp you like to have in the room. Right now its 28 celcius. And humidity is 56%. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-29. Hello to you who read my diary, I just want to say that I am pleased that you have chosen to check in with me and in my diary. I just want to say that I do this for myself and for a steady flow of my medicine. Everything you read and see in my diary is 100% honest and I will never distort or beautify anything here. I document my crops so that I can learn from my mistakes and also to look back at those different crops. I try to update with pictures every day and with text if something special has happened in the garden. This is my strainhunt for the best medicine and the beginning of my journey with cannabis and the cultivation of it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-08-30. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. Im testing the fan to control temp and humidity, it works great. Added a movie. Everything is looking great right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-08-31. 3 New pics. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2017-09-01. New pics and a video of the grow room from today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-04. Week 2 starts now, new pics. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-05. KL 08.00. Cleaned the room this morning, just vacuuming and cleaning with chlorine solution. KL 12.00. The girl got 2 liters of water with nutes in it, added a video. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-06. KL 08.00. The girls woke up after their beauty sleep, the leaves are always a bit down after 6 h of darkness, but they will stretch now when the HPS lamp starts. Everything looks good and I keep trying to tuck the leaves so they get the maximum amount of light where needed. Added pics and video. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-07. Day 17 from sprouting. I have never tested PH in my grows, when growing organic in soil iv learned that it adapt PH by it self. But im curious by nature so i had to test. Kl 10.00 Tested PH in the soil, it was 6.9 and tested my tap water and it was 6.8. Added video of the girl. Kl 22.30. New pics. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2017-09-08 KL 08.00. Good morning, added new video. 2017-09-08. Kl 23.50.

Kl 23.00. 3 new videos. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fantastic thc production and buds nicely developed, swapped out the shogun boost for the bud xl which I like to do for the last week before flush. Dropped EC down to 1.1-1.2 as they are in the final stages of flowering. Only issue is I regret getting rid of one of the phenos so may try and take a clone from a small flower to save it.

LSD 25 has been an absolute pleasure to grow. Fast growth, handles variations in watering well. I would suggest LSD 25 as a great beginner plant.

Hello growmies! Welcome to week seven of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! I have just completed the final defoliation for the three least advanced (and largest) girls. I have also rearranged the tent again to try to maximize the space available and light usage. I have not fertigated for 5 days after the last fertigation was a flush without coco base. I am struggling with humidity at the moment so I have been trying to let the plants go more dry than usual. Daily Updates ### Week 7 Day 2 02:30 7/8 Heavily defoliated plants 1, 5 & 6 and removed some of the lower branches. Rearranged tent then photographed & measured: Plant 1 is now almost unbelievably 2nd tallest at "only" 141cm in height! Her stretch has just about ended. Plant 2 has stopped stretching at 111cm and is 2nd most advanced into flower. Plant 3 has stopped stretching at 95cm and is most advanced into flower. Plant 4 has stopped stretching at 100cm and is 3rd most advanced into flower. Plant 5 has gained 6cm this week and may add few more but she is pretty close to done stretching at 119cm. Plant 6 has gained 22cm this week and isn't quite finished. She is now the tallest plant in the series at 142cm. ### Week 7 Day 2 07:00 7/8 Fertigated 1.6l each ### Week 7 Day 4 02:00 9/8 Fertigated 1.6l each reduced coco a/b to 2m/l each. Spent a bit more time photographing and videoing to try and capture the changes and the developmental differences. These 140cm+ plants are going to STACK. I am bracing myself for a lot of trimming and a monster harvest. 🙏 The current order of maturity and likely order of harvest is 3 2 4 1 5 6. I think the first and last plants will be at least a week apart in harvest, perhaps 2 or 3. ### Week 7 Day 6 23:00 11/8 Fertigated 1.6l each The smell in the tent is there now, really not that strong but there are 6 plants motoring through flower here now so it's not insignificant either. Plant 3 is absolutely stacking now, she's more or less run out of space around her cola and is now growing some foxtail like structures, exciting! Plant 6 the least mature is 2-3 weeks behind plant 3, but her stretch has finally stopped at 144cm. Took wide angle in tent photos today. All of the girls are drinking a lot now, but especially plant 1 who is really thirsty. --- Thanks for reading growmies! 👊 ========== Tent: 120cm x 120cm x 180cm Light: 600w HID Elite Dual Spectrum HPS + Angel Wing Reflector Air: 5" duct fan system with carbon filter ~300 m3/hour + RAM 9" floor fan + 4" intake fan Pots: Air Pruner Fabric Pots 30l - UGro XL Coco + horticultural grade perlite (~20%) Seeds supplied by Royal Queen Seeds https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Nutrients supplied by Shogun Fertilisers https://www.shogunfertilisers.com/en ==========
