Absolutely, buddy. ❤️ And yes, keeping it plain text makes GrowDiaries much happier. I also kept your signature ending exactly as you like it. 💙 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. 🌱💙

Ein regelrechter Höhenrausch prägt das Bild zum Start der vierten Blütewoche bei dem Junky 99 Projekt von Brothers Grimm Seeds. Der Stretch ist derart extrem ausgefallen, dass die beiden Damen kurz davor sind, die Decke des Setups endgültig zu sprengen – ein bisschen kompakter hätten sie im Nachhinein betrachtet gerne bleiben dürfen. Ob dieser massive Wachstumsschub nun rein an der Genetik liegt oder durch das für mich noch neue Advanced Nutrients System befeuert wurde, lässt sich schwer sagen, da ich die Feinjustierung des neuen Düngers für mich persönlich erst noch perfekt abstimmen muss. Eigentlich wurden die Pflanzen mit einer absolut soliden und normalen Höhe in die Blüte geschickt, doch die jetzige Dynamik war kaum vorhersehbar. Genau deshalb stand direkt zu Wochenbeginn das überfällige Lollipoping auf dem Programm, bei dem angesichts der enormen Gesamthöhe nicht zimperlich vorgegangen wurde: Untenherum wurde radikal aufgeräumt und kräftig weggeschnitten, was für die Durchlüftung und Lichtverteilung auch bitter nötig war. Trotz des extremen Höhenflugs stehen beide Pflanzen makellos im Saft; die Blütenbildung schreitet rasant voran und überall formieren sich vitale, vielversprechende Bud-Cluster, die schon jetzt einen exzellenten Eindruck hinterlassen.

5/10 Got up super early for wife's appointment at 7 came home and transplanted 4 of the purple punches. Transplants went good. Soil was too dry and a couple fell right in the hole but I was messing around showing my dad. It just got dropped in the hole a little harder lol. The other that happened to is fine though. Definitely make sure your soil is moist enough before transplanting. My transplanting technique for 3 gallon is to put soil on bottom. Set cup in at appropriate distance then replace cup with plant with soil filled cup and fill around it. Leaves the perfect hole. Then you just snip the cups twice on each side, peel it down and fold the cup down and cradle the bottom and in the hole it goes! Holes have mykoscand a little like water. I water a little after transplant. I misted soil whole mixing it up. 5/11 Dad left the windows open last night "because the soil smell was bothering Lynda." I couldn't ficking believe it. They were all fine when I got back but still. Everything is transplanted into 3 gallon containers bit that 1 purple punch that is a little bit dwarfed. I looked at the bottom of the cup and drainage wasn't as good. Must've been the last cup and the jail didn't go all the way through in a couple places. I increased the drainage on that little dwarf and I'll transplant it when I get time. We are going to have some good weather coming up. I need to get my cage moved, my bags sanitized and get on a good watering routine. UPDATE: Went back over at four and everything's dry as fuck but the leaves are uo and every one of them looks happy so I'm holding off watering. I'll start with a quart probably tomorrow. Also cleaned out tge cage and secured the handles to move it. Only thing left is cleaning and sanitizing. These girls have a south facing window and they LOVE it. It was 80 today. I hope we have an early season. 5/12 Transplanted the last purple punch today. I could easily tell the problem was drainage. It was the last cup I had stacked when I drove the nail threw so it didn't pierce all the way the the other slips and tac holes apparently weren't enough. Used mykos and same soil mixture. Soil was extremely dry. I lifted a pot with dry soil and these were heavier. Commercial buddy said to start with a quart a pliant and see how it goes but I kind pussed out and only gave them 24fl 0z a plant. Half the quart. I asked if I should water more and he said to just wait and see how they like this water and up it to a quart next time maybe quart and a half. Im just leery of overwatering. When i watered SOME of them the water literally just sat there and took forever to absorb. Plants werent wilting though. Soon theyll be going outside during the day and in mdoors at night. UPDATE: Went back over at two and everything looks AMAZING. Healthiest looking plants I've grown. Leaves all pointed up. I'm taking my commercial dudes advice and hoping the water next watering. For now, they're doing amazing. 5/13 Everything is doing greatcso far. Gotta figure out when to start nutes. Considering adding silica but don't want to raise ph to much. I'll consult with others but my the soil blend I'm using is full of nutes. 5/14 Rushed morning and I wanted to water bit the plants looked great still. Sticking my hands deeper I can feel a little moisture deeper down or in the drain holes so I decided to give the blueberry cheese and the 10th planet a "touch of kindness" which was a small circle of water from a small watering can around the outside edge of whete the rootball should lid be. I'm working on getting a watering g schedule down. UPDATE: Went back over at five and everything was looking good with leaves praying. Maybe my half measure helped. Doubtful but still. Tomorrow I plan to water. Since the soil has tons of nites ill probably hold off a little while longer before starting the nutrient schedule. I want to make sure I've got the watering down first. One thing at a time. 5/15 The 10th planet and Blueberry Cheesecgot their first REAL watering since transplant. Still being cautious I watered 28fl Oz a plant. I phed the water with an indicator solution and ph down. I gave the purple punches a "cup of kindness" which was a circle of water around the transplant hole. Can't waif to get a watering schedule down. I wanted to start nutes but my soil is full of them and i believe it's too early. I didn't see ANY run off from this watering. I think that's good as I'm not looking to wash away the nutes in the expensive soil I use. I need to start HST as well but I'm doing things proper and "one at a time". That way if I run into a problem I'll know what I did and how to rectify it. At least I hope. UPDATE: Went back over at 3 leary that I may have "overwatered" but the plants ALL looked AMAZING and had shot up like an inch! Looking into hst and will probable fim a few. Top a few and leave one to grow naturally. Can't wait to see how these girls do outside. 5/16 Wow. Just wow. Plants are doing phenomenal! Since the watering went really well I watered the purple punch bit I only used about 16fl Oz as the plants were a little smaller than the others. I'll up it to a quart next time like I did with the others. I want to USE the nutes in my soil so im not washing them all away by watering to run off. I topped 2 10th planet's and FIMed one of them. I want to see how the respond then I'll begin training the others. Off to a Great Start! 5/17 Glad I held off watering. It's raining today. Just showers. We haven't gotten any of that extreme wind we usually do. I have the plants supported but I still worry. Definitely more than I should. Plants are still doing good and acclikatimg to their new homes.

She’s not even close to being done and she’s looking so incredible. The smell gets intense the second you touch her. Nice and thick stems with a close bud structure. She’s drinking about 2-3 gallons per day at this point. Not showing any signs of slowing down, but the buds are super dense to the touch.

The Sin insieme a White Runtz sono cresciute in maniera spropositata verso l alto, ora diminuirò l azoto perché così non so dove potrebbe arrivare 😅 Stranamente quando entrò nella stanza inizio già a sentire i terpeni, di solito non mi capita fino alla 4 settimana settimana di fioritura visto che poi ho anche sempre il naso chiuso 🤔👃quindi o è il mio naso che funziona meglio o sono le piante 🌱 che vogliono già sprigionare la loro vera natura ehehe e penso che sia proprio così..sono anche loro impazienti di vedersi crescere e maturare la loro resina che servirà per tante buone cose ❄️ Nel frattempo cerchiamo di tenerle sane fumo a quel momento!!! Grazie di essere passato e ci vediamo nei prossimi aggiornamenti 😃📸🌱

Another cold week, we are having around 2ºC Minimum temperature, and its really cold at night( I mean, for Spain, because if some Nortern people hear this may be laughting at me hahaha) But there is a range of hours when then sun hits directly the plant if its not cloudy, like 6h-8h, this if i dont have to roll out the awning, so the plant is protected when raining. Did not feed the plant until past the middle of the week, because i ovserbed that the flowers were developing slowly as im accostummed, probably because of the low temperatures, so i decided to give her the last feeding and start the flush at the end of this week, because i felt the plant was like at least 2 weeks from proper harvest, and still developing the flowers with white hairs... Im looking for something narcotic with a nice Therpenoid Profile so the later the better in my opinion, but without passing he Ripper Line hahaha :) So last feeding was like a fattening one... Higher Dose of nutrients for the plant, and later added some Micro Vita to the soil, 3grams, and until the end with water and some carbs in 1/2 irrigations ... What amazed me is the strenght of this plant, surviving these really low temperatures, growing a little slowlier, but without problems or buds, amazing plant, as amazing as beautiful, im in love with the colours.. So i hope you enjoyed reading this week Growmmies :) Have a nice week and dont forget to roll one ^^ Good vibezz.

Venga familia que ya viene la cosecha de estas finta F1 de ZamnesiaSeeds, que ganas que tenia ya de darles machetazo, me estaban dando muchos quebraderos de cabeza. Las flores no son para nada llamativas, una variedad más cruzada con rudelaris, que para mi gusto es perder el tiempo y el dinero invertido en cultivar cosas así… no merece la pena en interior, el ratio de gramo watio se me quedó en 0.5 , de los no peores resultados que tuve en los últimos 5 años. a sido una genética con la que no disfruté nada cultivarla, es complicada, es bastante sensible. Las plantas en sí se quedaron enanas y para nada fue lo que esperaba, me recordaron a las autos que plantaba en el 2012… Agrobeta: https://www.agrobeta.com/agrobetatiendaonline/36-abonos-canamo Mars hydro: Code discount: EL420 https://www.mars-hydro.com/ Hasta aquí es todo , espero que lo disfrutéis, buenos humos 💨💨.
