💙 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. 💙🌱

Week 2 day 1 plant is just happy but I would love to see some faster vegging. Day 2 Fan adjustment today, felt like the plant was getting little windburn ( slight curling on the edge and dry/rough leaves) Day 3 Added Horn- Bonemeal mix as Top dress today. It’s really fine grained so I hope this is going to help out with N + P in flower stage Day 4 Plant still not ramping up. My guess is the roots are not developed well enough to get to the edge of the pot where the majority of the pre fertilized soil is at Day 5 Drained the whole pot with 1l rainwater and tested run off water. It’s at 6.3ph. Hopefully the plant can reach all the nutrients now. I will add compost tea in about 3weeks. I need to wait for the compost to finish first at least partly. Next grow will be better for sure when I’m more prepared. Day 7 LST

2020-08-30 (Day 48) Still trying to rectify the nitrogen deficiency but she’s still chugging along and starting to put off some flowers 🌺. Love the look of this girl, I put up a video too!

first topping for lollipoping. spray seaweed a few.

This is it for these Banana Punch from SeedsMafia! Thanks to the company for the freebies! Can’t wait to try!

Overall this was a little bit of roller coaster with this strain none but two of the plants turned out the same I did accidentally herm one out but still was good I had one turn out more looking like the white widow and very frost but I would grow this again just to perfect it I know I could of gotten more out of this strain

As of this week I can see she's finally recovered after all the stress I put her through (HST, topping, LST) On August 1, watered it 1300ml, ph of the solution was 6.44, I added rhino skin 1ml and 1.3ml each- cal mag, bio root and biothrive grow. Had some run off but she sucked it all in, in less than 5 minutes I barely had time to measure the ph of the run off which was 6.72. Planning on transplanting it this week to a 5 or 7 gallon pot, she's currently in a 1 gallon pot. August 2, watered it 1L, ph 6.46. Added 1ml each- rhino skin, cal mag, bio root and biothrive grow. 6.77ph of the run off, (barely had any, she sucked it all in right away) August 3rd transplanted her to a 5 gallon pot and watered it 1500ml water ph 6.45 Added 1.5 ml each- rhino skin, cal mag, biothrive grow and bio root. No runoff. August 5th, watered it 1800ml water added 1.5ml each- rhino skin cal mag, bio root and 1.8ml biothrive grow August 6, watered it 3L water, 6.45ph Added rhino skin 3ml, cal mag 2.5ml, bio root 3ml, biothrive grow 3.5ml No run off

Good morning growmies! I am finally back online after moving house and being without internet for weeks. These ladies took a battering and bruising in transit, and were left in the dark for 4 days, starved of water and food for 9 days TWICE inside 3 weeks. Still, can you believe the progress despite all that? Wowza, when RQS say these Epsilon F1s are fast they are NOT JOKING, and OH MY the smell is soooooooooooooooooo good. It's really a complex sweet and fruity scent with delicate notes of spice and sandalwood. I am super curious now. All five plants are within a couple of inches of each other, the tallest being 72cm currently (Dinah!). I am so very impressed with these plants that I am considering running a full tent of Epsilon F1s for my next grow! I wonder if I can get a bulk discount?! 😬😁 Day 54: Fertigated 10l Day 56: They are not slowing down. Ally, Normani, Lauren, and Dinah are all similar size, Camila is a bit smaller but in terms of development they are all very very close to each other. I am really impressed by the uniformity here, more impressed by the speed, and most impressed by the scent. They are not strong smelling, but if you get close or have a squeeze it wafts over you like an exquisite perfume. It is the most complex cannabis scent I have experienced yet. Really really interesting, I am really excited for the eventual smoke review so that I can properly understand the complexity at play here. The breeder and sponsor of this grow Royal Queen Seeds have offered to sponsor a full tent of this strain, if that works out then I will be doing another grow series right after this one. Fingers crossed!

I have not been at home too much this week so theres not too many photos but im flushing right now just counting down the days to chop this plant down! I have a problem with foxtails due to my tent not being high enough to raise the lights but thats fine.... ill get a new tent pretty soon ( This is my first Indoor grow! thats why im still learning about lights and all that.. I used to grow outdoors so my indoor and autoflower techniques still in baby steps

Roots came out from 4l pot. Transplanted to 7l pot First topping Done. All others topped and recovering

Harvested the green pheno on day 64 of flower (2/16/26) smells really skunky/gas so far before full dry/cure Harvest purple fade pheno on day 71 of flower (2/22/26) Smells like orange candy with a bit of gas in the background Great daytime smoke and makes you happy

Harvest week for the Milky Way F1 growmies 🙌 Pretty happy with how she handled this cycle, recycled soil first time ever, dead of winter, undersized light for a 100x100 tent… she just kept going 💪 In previous runs I did scaled harvests, and every time I noticed a visible resin boost and even some anthocyanin production on some phenos, confirmed that a sudden light intensity increase late in flower does something interesting. This time I went a different route: last 6-7 days I stripped most of the non-resinous fan leaves and redirected a lateral bar onto the mid/lower zone to get the same effect. Curious if mechanical stress from defoliation plays a role here too, anyone know anything about jasmonic acid? 🤔 Late flower I pushed the setup to ~200w adding 660nm red bars at 40-50cm, which clearly tightened up the buds compared to previous runs 👀 Pulled the CO2 bottles in flower, without a way to measure it I’d rather focus on VPD and fresh air circulation 🤷 Kept them in veg where humidity tolerance is higher anyway. Now she’s drying and I can’t wait to see how the wet/dry ratio lands 🌿​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Starting to get close to the end the tall buds are packing on the weight very large plant very frosty will have a great yield from this plant

both plants have the same dominant tangie flavour mixed with other fruits. Awesome cross we have here.

I can never talk bad on auto flowers. I did not pay much attention to these girls and it shows but the genetics from FASTBUDS were so good that the quality of the buds was still A1. I bought more FASTBUDS seeds and will grow them in my new setup and hopefully I can maximize the yields this time around.
