Sorry I didn’t upload week 5 Ngl it was a bad week i suffocated 4 plants I had to defoliate some leaves because of nutrient defeincies making the plant look diseased I managed to pull through there back healthier again I got a few yellow spots but there goint but other then them 4 there’s some nice bud and bud spots really starting to come through excuse the 4 shittier looking plants and the defoliated skimpy one! Other then those problems that I have resolved I’m happy again last week not so this week happy!!! It’s all trial and error first go I haven’t trained any plants I will do on my next grow definitely!

She has grown a lot since last week so i did some more lst. I think that she has almost reached full growth potential if she hasn't already. The bud development is starting to ramp up. I also removed a few leaves I watered once with 2,5l of rain water and another time with 3l. There were some very hot days (32-38 °C) so she had to be in the shade a lot of the time.

Week 9/3F // D57/15F - D63/21F Man sieht so langsam das die Strawberry Lobster eine üppige Lady mit ordentlich frost werden wird. Ich freu mich drauf. Die Terps gehen bisher recht hoffnungsvoll in eine beerige süße Richtung. Mal schauen was die nächste Woche bringt💚🍀 Zum Ende dieser Woche hat der Stretch stark nachgelassen. Endlich! Sonst war es eine Recht entspannte Woche. Ein kleines lollipopping gab es die Woche. Die kürzesten und verkümmerten Triebe wurden dafür entfernt, so kann die Strawberry Lobster alle krankt und Energie in die stärksten Triebe bringen und schöne dicke Blüten produzieren. Diese Woche gab es den ersten Komposttee. Dafür wurden 15g/L des "PK Booster Komposttee" mit 5ml/L Orgatrex von Bio Tabs in einem Kanister mit destillierten Wasser für 26h mit einer Aquariumpumpe belüftet. Ungefähr 1 Stunde vor Ende des belüften des Komposttee wurde nochmal 1g/L Bactrex zugefügt. Für die Lobster gab es 500ml Komposttee wie von Bio Tabs empfohlen. Ein setup-upgrade gab es auch. Das neue Spiezeug ist ein Spiderfarmer under-canopy LED. Davon kamen jeweils zwei Balken ins Zelt. Bei 60x60cm Grundfläche braucht es nicht mehr als zwei Balken in einem Zelt. Hoffentlich merkt man beim Reifeprozess der unteren Buds ein Unterschied und hoffentlich auch etwas beim Ertrag. Man sieht deutlich das der mittlere Bereich an dem das Licht sonst etwas schwerer kommt, jetzt wunderbar durchleuchtet ist. _____________________________________________ Gegossen wird mit Wasser das 24/7 mit einer Aquariumpumpe in einer 10L Gießkanne in Bewegung gehalten wird. Tag57/15F gab es 1L in den Topf und 200ml in den Untersetzer. Tag58/16F gab es 400ml in den Topf. Tag59/17F gab es 1L in den Topf und 200ml in den Untersetzer. Tag60/18F gab es 400ml in den Topf. Tag61/19F gab es 500ml in den Topf. Tag62/20F gab es 1L in den Topf und 200ml in den Untersetzer. (davon 500ml Komposttee) Tag63/21F gab es 600ml in den Topf. _____________________________________________ Licht Abstand: 35cm Watt: 120W (100%) Ppfd: ~800 DLI: ~36 _______________________________ Umgebung Temp: 25-27°C RLH: 45-55% VPD: 0.9 - 1.3 kPa _____________________________________________ _____________________________________________ STRAWBERRY LOBSTER (Strawberry Cough x Blue Lobster) Terps: strawberry candy, strawberry syrup Flowering: 60-65 days ________________________________ Parents: Strawberry Cough (Strawberry Fields x Haze) Terps: strawberry, earthy Blue Lobster (Apples and Bananas x Eye Candy) Terps: blueberry, berry, grape/sweet

Well had to harvest early. bud rot was making its way through the plant had already pulled 2 heads off covered didn't want any more being affected. So it's now chopped and drying will give more of an update after she's dryed n cured... Its been a good grow right up untill the end ventilation was lacking and temps hot. I've enjoyed it tho this plants tested some of my skills on diffieciencys and training really like the strain just abit more attention to environment nearing the buds getting very dense.

Hey Growmies. 😎This is a back post...sorry took me so long. Nov 8th (sunday) She looks nutrient deprived. Little did I know the VPN (low) was so far off after changing my pre-filter that the negative pressure wasn't allowing her to want to pull up nutrients. Has been a problem longer than I realized. I had no idea that my fan was too strong for my tent. Can kill a plant. Live and learn. So, now comes the story of nutrient toxicity because I DX wrong and gave some amendments and nutrients that she didn't need. So sad. . …. Soil PH is at 6.7 Watered about 3/4 gallon almost 1 gallon Growers recharge With soluble kelp Humic acid (20ml per gal dilution) NOV 9th RH is 52 and temp 72.5deg (RH is dropping due to increased airflow) She does not appear to be stressed this morning. Growth is still very slow but the new leaves appear to be healthy with no Brown tips. There's still New Growth appearing on the old nodes where fan leaves have been removed due to burning lower down on the stems. I'm hoping there's not much more lateral growth and more of a filling out so that I can flower.(room for the stretch) I hope the lower humidity is conducive to her growth and not going to cause Mite infestation due to stress and defenses down. On that note the tanglefoot needs to be reapplied. On about a 10-minute inspection I see no visible signs canoe leaves or might damage. The wettable sulfur seems to be stove in them off. I'm also doing my best to boost the immune system of the plant. I've been meaning to do a compost tea in order to infuse the soil with more microorganisms including both bacterial and fungi.  Still learning about “living soil” and probably making tons of mistakes but am bumbling through. NOV 10th Defoliation NOV 11th On this day she was still looking so deprived of nutrients. SHE WAS. Only not for reason of them not being in the soil. Environment was off and she was just protecting herself by not taking in the necessary food. I was of the midset to save her with soothing things which are good for “plant stress” and some nutrients. WRONG I was again. This is what I gave her that day. (A great combo but not what she needed) Soil PH 6 Growers recharge coconut water (30ml per half-gallon)  aloe juice (1/8 cup in half a gallon)  With soluble kelp  Humic acid (20ml per gal dilution)   NOV 12th IPM: Foliar spray right after lights out: micronized sulfur- 1/5 tbsp per 1/2 gallon ,Aloe Vera 2 tbsp, yucca extract NOV 13th removed some dead leaves Soil PH 6.5 pot was medium /heavy- leaving it so I can put compost tea on tomorrow evening.  Defoliated any dead growth and any tiny branches that didn't have a lot of nodes on them.  Changed the timer for the FAN to 15on and 15 off. I had upped the heat in the house to 72 deg instead of 71 and things are VERY DRY! Too dry for the temp. The VPD just way off here. Explains some of the dryness I am feeling on the leaf surfaces, slow growth etc. This climate issue has to be checked. Also, added back in a second humidifier! Brewing compost tea........

Greetings my dear Jungletamers, So a major surprise came when @MarsHydroLED contacted us and asked if would like to try out their new SP 3000 light. Being a fan of Mars Hydro for years, we of course accepted their offer. We are totally in love with this light. I was when I saw it in another grower's setup and was in awe of its output and results. So with much pride and thankfulness for the presents the Universe bestowed on us, in the form of MarsHydroLEDS offer and the bountiful harvest of the last grow, (which I am thoroughly enjoying btw, such a great weed to have grown ourselves) we start out on a new adventure that we can't wait to share with you. With many lessons learned from the previous grow, a mighty producing strain in the form of Expert Seeds Gorilla Glue #4, a.k.a Expert Gorilla's and a tweaked super soil mixture, we are setting out to hopefully get over a gram per watt, preferably 1.5. The Setup A 4.5 (140 cm) x 2(70) x 6.2 (200) grow tent, giving me a .98 m2 workspace. This space is customized to my needs. A standing fan will provide airflow through the whole grow, a top fan will help guide cooler air past my lights onto the grow. 3 56 ltr pots will be the home for the plants when they are 2 weeks old, up to then in smaller jars. The Light The leading role and star of the show will be played by the Mars Hydro SP-3000, so kindly provided by MarsHydroLED, which we will test and review here and I might say, endorse. I'm very careful with who I endorse and support these days, but a company with that many wins in design, I'm talking ever since their first range came out in 2009 these guys have been raising the bar for the whole industry, I did not hesitate to support this leading brand. If you want to compete with these guys, you better bring some quality AND affordable pricing. Why do I endorse the SP-3000 without ANY hesitation? It is seriously THE BEST light on the market in this price range and size group. It has an enormously effective output in U/Mol and with 30% less energy waste comparing to older LED lights. Prove me wrong! And with a company holding a considerable market share selling thousands of units every month, competing on price and quality, one would think that customer service would suffer. Of course, also Mars Hydro is not perfect, but check the sheer amount of people that not only praise the light but also the service received, should the light somehow not perform up to par. It is this dedication to their customer base that made this company have a fanbase... Yes, a fanbase with a website and a wiki. So if you are looking to buy new lights, check out the END OF SUMMER OFFER at the Mars-Hydro Global Store on Aliexpress: https://marshydroled.aliexpress.com/ 👈 Check their offers but also their score, they ship from a warehouse near you so you don't have the extra import fees!! Cut out the middleman and have a deal on these lights!! At the moment I write this in August 2021, the lights are 408,20 euro when sent from Germany to the rest of Europe, that's 40 euro cheaper than the other Mars outlets, BUT EVEN 60 euros cheaper than ordering at a grow store!! The Strain: Experts Seeds - Expert Gorilla feminized regular. Don’t let the name fool you because Expert Gorilla is suitable for growers of any skill level. However, you do need to be an experienced smoker because Expert Gorilla is one of the most potent strains on the market. Lineage: Chem Sis x Chocolate Diesel x Sour Dubb Popularity: Extremely Popular Flavor/Aroma Profile: Chocolate, Earthy, Fuel Yield: 400 g/m2 Stress Tolerance: High resistance to disease Potency: 24% THC Flowering time: 58 - 63 days The Soil: Those who saw my Monstercropped Gelato #33 grow (you should see it if you didn't, I'm so proud of that grow), know about my super soil and organic nutrients/ permaculture tea combo that starred in my previous diary. Because of the great results, we are going to use the same recipe, adjusted some more with some new ingredients that will complete the mix and give an even more sustained super soil buffer. 20% Atami Bi-grow (very similar to ocean forest) 20% Atami worm castings 20% Atami Coco Coir 10% Hydrocorn 10% Peat powder 1 cup Fossil seaweed chalk 1 cup bonemeal 1 cup bloodmeal 1 cup Microlife 3-4 teaspoons of epsom salt 3 cups of activated biochar (activated with our own permaculture tea) I just made layers, starting with hydro corn on the bottom to aid airflow/run-off. On this I started layering the coco coir, Bi-grow, peat, castings, and amendments in a way that the more mature the plants get, the more phosphorous and less nitrogen they will find. Every time I made three layers, I would mix them by hand. This way we simulate natural soil, which consists of humic layers, composting plant waste, fungal and microbial life, and nutrients from fossilized sources. The Nutrients I will start with just adding 6.4 PH water, although this soil should buffer ph itself and regulate, after 4 weeks, I'll slowly be adding: - Biobizz Grow - Plagron Alga Grow - Biobizz CalMag - Biobizz Flower - Plagron Alga Flower - Biobizz Topmax - Melasses The Tea Some of you might remember the permaculture tea from my previous grow, I have a short video in my harvest page showing how we make it), it will star again in this grow. - (Rain)water - Comfrey (whole plants) - Dandelion leaves - Roots and leaves from the earlier grow - Minor periwinkle (Finca minor) is a plant we have in our garden, it contains an alkaloid that is associated with increased brain function but also is a light toxin for wee beasties and other unwanted guests like gnats (who hate it). - When flowering I add some wood ash to this mix Thank you for checking in on one of my grows again! Thanks for all the love on my previous grow, check it out if you haven't seen it!! Hug Bud

This was a busy week for the girls, they got trimmed up and bent around to maximize their space and growing potential. Thinking we will be vegging for a while with this one. Going to try and get a monster plant with these girls. When you touch them they leave a gas smell on the fingers already 🤯💀 The twisted sister has made a full recovery and I think that she will have super deep purple coloring because some of the leaves have like a purple hue to them. Until next time growmies, best of luck ✌️ 07/03/23

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 8 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter inside Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If you're joining us for the first time, welcome aboard. Project Blue Tent follows four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia, each documented separately from seed all the way through harvest. All four sisters share the same environment, lighting, nutrition, irrigation and training techniques. The idea is simple: Keep as many variables identical as possible... And let the genetics tell the story. And although the four girls continue looking remarkably similar, each one still has her own little personality. Today we're checking in with Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B. And if you've been following her journey... You already know this girl. She's the one who had the little caterpillar adventure earlier in the grow. She's the one who bounced straight back. She's the one who has handled topping, SCROG training and defoliation without complaint. And now... She's officially in flower. 🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week Eight – Flower Has Arrived Well... The Blue Tent has officially changed gears. After seven weeks of vegetative growth, the lights are now running 12/12, and Plant B has entered the flowering phase. And judging by what she's done over the last week... She was definitely ready. The entire room has been growing incredibly quickly. We're talking about plants gaining close to 30 cm in roughly a week, while at the same time developing flowering sites, producing new growth and generally accelerating in every direction. Plant B is no exception. She's currently sitting at approximately 81 cm, compared with around 60 cm when we finished the vegetative phase. That's a serious jump. And the interesting part is that she's not simply stretching upward. She's continuing to develop. Branches are extending. Nodes are stacking. Flowering sites are becoming increasingly obvious. And the whole plant is moving with an incredible amount of energy. So now the game changes. We're no longer building the vegetative canopy. We're learning how to manage it. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ The Canopy – Still Beautifully Even One of the things I'm happiest about this week is how even the canopy remains. After weeks of topping, low-stress training and SCROG work, Plant B entered flowering with a beautifully distributed structure. There aren't huge dominant towers taking over everything around them. The growth is spread across the available space. And that's exactly what we wanted. The interesting challenge now is keeping it that way. Because these girls are moving fast. Very fast. The screen may have done its job during vegetation, but flowering stretch doesn't exactly ask for permission. It simply happens. So we're going to work with the plants rather than fight them. And that's where this week's additional training comes in. ──────────────────────── 💥 Super Cropping – Managing the Stretch This week I've also started using super cropping to help manage some of the more aggressive vertical growth. The idea is not to randomly damage the plants. It's a deliberate form of high-stress training where selected branches are gently bent and compressed, creating a temporary interruption in the dominant vertical growth pattern. The hope is to achieve a couple of things at the same time. First, it can help reduce the advantage of the tallest shoots and keep the canopy more manageable. Second, the plant responds by reinforcing the affected areas, which can ultimately contribute to stronger branches and more robust nodes. And these girls are giving me quite the demonstration. I'll super crop a branch... Come back later... And somehow she's already standing back up again. 😂 Sometimes it feels like I'm having a conversation with the plant. Me: "Stay down." Plant B: "No." 😂🌱 But that's actually encouraging. It tells me just how much energy these plants have right now. The growth is so vigorous that the branches are recovering incredibly quickly. So we're going to continue carefully managing the taller shoots and see how the plants respond over the coming weeks. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant B – Strength Under Pressure Plant B continues looking fantastic. Her structure remains strong, her foliage is healthy, and the colour is exactly where I want it. After everything we've asked from her during vegetation, she has transitioned into flower without showing any meaningful signs of stress. And that's something I really appreciate about this phenotype. She's cooperative. She responds. She recovers. And then she simply keeps growing. The super cropping we're doing now is another opportunity to observe that response. We're deliberately introducing a little controlled stress to encourage a more balanced structure while the plant is stretching. Will it completely stop her from getting taller? Honestly... I doubt it. 😂 These girls have already shown us what they're capable of. But if we can slow down the most aggressive vertical growth, strengthen those important branching points and maintain a reasonably even canopy... I'll consider that a win. ──────────────────────── 💡 Flowering Light – Starting Strong We're also entering flowering under a fairly strong light intensity. The Blue Tent is starting flower at approximately 800 PPFD. That's intentional. These plants have spent seven weeks building a large and healthy canopy, and I want to give them plenty of light from the beginning of the flowering cycle. At the same time, I'm watching carefully for how they respond. The goal is not simply maximum intensity. It's finding the point where the plants can use the available light effectively while maintaining healthy transpiration, structure and development. And because we're already dealing with significant growth and relatively warm nights, the next couple of weeks will tell us a lot. For now... Plant B is loving it. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent – Flowering Conditions The environment remains remarkably consistent across the room. This week's recorded conditions were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 27°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 66% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 19.2°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.81 • ⚡ EC: 2.09 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 666 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.4 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 8 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 81 cm The temperature situation is particularly interesting. Day and night temperatures are currently almost identical. That's something I'm keeping a close eye on because warmer nights can encourage additional stretching. And we've already seen plenty of evidence that these plants don't need much encouragement to grow. 😂 So for now, we're observing closely and managing what we can. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding – Flowering Has Begun The nutritional program has also moved into the flowering recipe. Current feeding: • Plagron Hydro A — 2 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 2 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L • pH Plus — 0.03 ml/L • pH Min — 0.03 ml/L Current EC is approximately: 2.09 mS/cm with the nutrient solution sitting around 19.2°C and pH at approximately 5.81. The change is relatively measured. We're not throwing everything at the plants simply because flowering has started. They're already growing extremely aggressively. So the objective is to support that development without unnecessarily complicating the equation. As always... The plants get the final vote. ──────────────────────── 💧 Drip Irrigation & Automatic Drainage The irrigation system continues proving its value as these plants become larger and more demanding. Plant B is currently receiving approximately 1.4 litres per 24 hours through the automatic drip irrigation system. The drippers deliver the nutrient solution directly into the coco. The solution moves through the substrate, supplying the root zone before exiting as runoff. That runoff is collected in the trays underneath the grow bags. From there, the drainage lines carry it toward the pump, which moves the collected solution back toward the reservoir. So the irrigation and drainage systems are effectively working together as a recirculating setup. Water goes in. The coco does its job. The plant gets access to the nutrients. Runoff is collected. The drainage system removes it. The pump returns it. And the cycle continues. It's a beautifully simple system once everything is working correctly. And right now... It's working wonderfully. The plants are growing aggressively, the water demand is increasing, and the system is keeping up without turning daily irrigation into a chore. That's exactly what I wanted from it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Seven Weeks of Vegetation – Was It Too Much? This is something I've been thinking about quite a lot this week. Seven weeks of vegetation is longer than I normally keep plants in this stage. Usually, I prefer to flip earlier. But looking at these girls now... I may have left them in vegetation a little too long. 😂 The structure they developed is fantastic. The canopy is full. The branches are strong. The plants are healthy. But they have also accumulated an enormous amount of growth potential. And now that flowering has started, they're showing us exactly how much energy they have stored. Close to 30 cm of growth in roughly a week is no small thing. And they're not finished. That's why I'm particularly interested in the combination of: SCROG + super cropping + strong light + careful environmental management. We're going to see whether those tools can help keep this incredible growth somewhat under control. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Plant B – The Comeback Girl There's something particularly satisfying about looking at Plant B now. A few weeks ago, she had an unexpected little visitor. One hungry caterpillar decided that one of her leaves looked like lunch. The problem was caught quickly. The caterpillar was removed. The affected area was cleaned up. The tent was inspected. And Plant B simply carried on. Now look at her. Approximately 81 cm tall. Healthy. Strong. Flowering. Producing new growth everywhere. If anything, she looks like she's trying to make up for the leaf she lost. 😂 She's definitely earned her place in this project. And I love that this diary gives us the opportunity to follow that entire story individually. ──────────────────────── 💥 Super Cropping – Let's See What Happens The next few weeks will tell us whether this additional training strategy gives us the effect I'm hoping for. The objective isn't to stop growth. That's impossible. The objective is to manage it. If a branch is becoming significantly taller than the rest of the canopy, we can intervene. If a particularly vigorous shoot needs to be brought back into balance, we can work with it. And by creating those controlled bends and reinforced points along the branches, we're hopefully building stronger plants at the same time. The fascinating thing is how quickly Plant B recovers. I'll make an adjustment... And shortly afterward... She's standing up again. It's almost as if the plant didn't get the memo. 😂 So we'll keep watching. We'll keep training where necessary. And we'll let the plant show us whether the technique is doing what we want. ──────────────────────── 🌸 Flowering Has Officially Started There is something special about this point in the project. For seven weeks we've been preparing these plants. Topping. Training. SCROG. Defoliation. Building structure. Balancing the canopy. And now... We're finally seeing the reward for all that preparation beginning to appear. The flowering sites are developing rapidly. The branches are extending. The plants are changing. And suddenly the Blue Tent doesn't look like a vegetative garden anymore. It looks like a flowering room. Plant B has an excellent starting structure. Now we get to find out what she can do with it. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead The next couple of weeks should be extremely interesting. The main objective is now managing the stretch while allowing the plants to flower naturally. We'll continue monitoring the canopy. We'll use super cropping where necessary to manage particularly vigorous shoots. We'll keep the irrigation consistent. We'll monitor nutrition. We'll watch the environment closely. And most importantly... We'll observe. Because right now all four sisters are showing just how similar they can be. But as flowering progresses, I expect their individual personalities to become increasingly obvious. Will Plant B remain one of the more balanced girls? Will she stretch aggressively? Will the super cropping help? Will the strong flowering light keep her compact? We'll find out. For now... She's looking absolutely fantastic. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these beautiful Blue Waffle F1 genetics phenotype by phenotype. A massive thank you to Plagron for the Premium Growbags and Hydro nutrient line supporting these plants throughout the project, and now for helping us move into the flowering phase. A special thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting that helped us build this beautiful canopy and is now providing the strong light these girls are receiving as flowering begins. And a huge thank you to Mars Hydro for the drip irrigation and automatic drainage system. The way the drippers, drainage trays, piping, pump and reservoir work together has made maintaining these four rapidly growing plants considerably easier. Thank you as well to GrowDiaries for providing a place where growers can document these journeys, exchange knowledge and follow projects like this from beginning to end. And finally... Thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. Plant B has come a long way. From seed... To topping. From SCROG... To defoliation. From an unexpected caterpillar visitor... To one of the fastest-growing girls in the tent. And now... Flowering. 🌸💙 The canopy is ready. The plants are healthy. The stretch has begun. And we're doing our best to keep these energetic ladies under control. Whether they listen is another question entirely. 😂 Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙
