16.2.25: I decided to check out the lower canopies of all plants to see if I need to get rid of any foliage. I did get rid of a few small branches and leaves. However, whilst I was doing this, I saw more garden pegs from my LST remaining. There were about 6 or more in Pink Mist alone. Additionally, on Watermelon, there were some left in, too. I'm so annoyed to see that because the plants are really stretching, and I could've potentially disrupted this by leaving the pegs in for all this time without realising it. ๐Ÿคž that I haven't compromised things too much. We'll see. I watered today with 2ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.3 containing the following nutrients; โ™ก .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster โ™ก .5g Ecothrive Biosys I ordered quite a few things for the garden. I got Greenleaf Nutrients Sea K(elp) and Mega Crop Parts A+B. To go with their PK Booster I got last month. I'm excited to try it all together. Next run, maybe just using these. We'll see how it goes. 18.2.25: The plants are going crazy for water! Everything is getting used right up so fast! Today, I decided to add some more Black Strap Molasses to add some carbs and other micronutrients. I'll add the jar with the label in the photos section above. I watered a very small amount to each plant. What I put in: โ™ก Black strap molasses 150g โ™ก 2g Sea K(elp) Greenleaf nutrients. I dissolved everything in 4ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. 19.2.25: I received the majority of the garden purchases that I made. I'm still waiting for the Ecothrive Life Cycle. I wanted to top dress, but it's been delayed unfortunately. I am using my Greenleaf nutrients products which I bought on Amazon. I got the Mega Crop 2 part system Part A and Part B. I have the Sea K(elp), and the bud explosion PK booster. I really wanted to get some of their sweet candy asking read many positive reviews. Unfortunately, for me, this is unavailable to buy currently. So that's a little disappointing. I needed to do a good watering so when my nutes were delivered today, I got excited ๐Ÿค— I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: โ™ก 1g Mega Crop Part A โ™ก 1g Mega Crop Part B โ™ก .5g Sea K(elp). The plants drank this up within a few hours. I'm going to try and hold off on watering in hopes that my Ecothrive Life Cycle will arrive so I can top dress and water it in then. 20.2.25: My Ecothrive Life Cycle arrived yesterday, and the plants are ready for their top dress and a good watering in. I have some Biobizz Light Mix, Canna Coco,and perlite. I'm going to use this as a base to mix my amendments in. I'm going to fill my 5 gallon bucket with about 4.5 gallons of my top dress mix. I will distribute this across 6, 4-5 gallon pots. Then I will water in well with Greenleaf nutrients Mega Crop Parts A+B and Sea K(elp). I've made a crude attempt to video mixing my top dress. Don't listen to the audio. lol, my YouTube didn't stop playing whilst I recorded this ๐Ÿ˜‚ So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; โ™ก 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle โ™ก 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano โ™ก 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge โ™ก 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules โ™ก 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

my dry and cure style is this: 4 days of hanging upside down to get water activity lower to around 0.6 in 50% humidity and 26 C temp (i know its a little high but we are in a hot summer right now and i cant get it lower even with air conditioner) and then after 4 days of drying i remove leaves and stalks, trim buds and move them to jar for the rest of their life :D . and in the first 4 days of curing i open the jar door and let hem get some fresh air in the jar for about 5 minutes and close the jar door again, after 4 days of curing like that buds are smokable but they will get better as they getting cured about 1 month. buds are one of the hardest as fucking rocks type of buds! very dense , compact , sticky , smelly , amazing at every aspect growing stage was 56 days and flowering stage was 75 days total (harvested tops at day 64th) the total weight of dry buds was : (plant #1 & #3 top buds 56 G + lower buds 22 G ) 78 G + (plant #2 top buds 47 G + lower buds 18 G ) 55 G + (plant #4 top buds 120 G + lower buds 67 G ) 187 G = 367 G

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Flowering day 43 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) The buds are developing really well :-). They slowly get thicker and thicker and smell better and better the closer we get to the end :-). She has completely stopped the stretch in order to transport the remaining energy into the buds ๐Ÿ‘. This week it was poured 3 times with 1 l each time (See table above for nutrient addition). In the coming weeks, the nutrients will be reduced more and more. The tent was cleaned and everything checked. Fresh osmosis water has been treated for the past few weeks. have fun with the update.

Hello yall!! Hope everyone is doing good out there and your plants are thriving. The 2 plants that are pretty much done already are the 2 Dolphin Wax. ๐Ÿฌ It's pretty awesome to be able to capture 2 such beautiful different plants with 2 beans. The Isorins are doing wonderful. She's thicking up and busting Caylaxs. Starting to catch the fade in the begging of week 7. I'll do some more feeding this week withheld battle axe and the Isorin. I'll feed lightly. Do molasses foop water ph irrated balanced. Every of the day. For the week of 7. Try to keep the flavors locked in. I'll be back after a while updating. Thos are the thricomes of the Dolphin wax @ Day 49 bloom!! Holy smokes that was fast!!! Hoping these other 2 strains take a couple more weeks. Let em get darker and more full of flavors, thricomes and love haha

This week we are only in cruise control, we did the last irrigation with fertilizers and we are planning the flushing for the next week. We also had problems with humidity due to the weather. We don't have a dehumidifier, so we try other homemade techniques to solve the situation. The flowers have gained some weight and are changing the smell. We are excited for the harvest.

End of Week 16 (9th week of flower) Final week of flower. Turned the lights wattage down at the end of this week to 400W to mimmic the sun moving further away from the earth during Autumn and Winter seasons. This also creates an overall cooler temperature signalling to the ladies that the end is in sight. This also protects the trichomes and ensures they don't get damaged and also dropped the The ladies are fading more and more into their vibrant autumn shades. With hues of pink and purple that makes me so excited! Feeding just PH correct water until harvest, which is around the corner. We are currently on day 63 of flower and checked the trichomes - just a few specs of amber and the cloudy trichomes are more prominent although there are still some clear ones. We will push to harvest within the next couple of days, around day 67-69 Pest Report: None Smell Report: Staaaaanky!

Hello there and welcome to week 12, or the beginning of it anyway. Week 11 is now complete so please check that out! We start the week with 5l fertigation and some nice photos. Now that Bertha is gone the tent smells Karenish. See you tomorrow! Day 78: Added several more carnivorous plants to the budding collection. Enjoy! Day 79: Fertigated 5l. She's starting to mature now. Frost developing slower, buds fattening and ripening faster. Were maybe two weeks away here. Night 80: Added tent photo and vid. Day 81 update later today. Day 81: Added a lot of media. Got a cheap digital microscope to try and get better micro shots. As you can see Karen is nowhere near yet. Day 82: Things are moving very fast, just look at the difference today. I am certain were with 2 weeks of harvest. Does anyone have advice on flushing/not watering. Fertigated 5l. Day 83: At the current rate of maturation I think the end of next week maybe be harvest time. Height 51cm Day 84: Karens smell is really strong now it washes across your face when you open the tent. End of week summary: A full week of nothing but bud swelling and maturation. I still think she needs another 2 weeks. Unfortunately my living situation has rather abruptly changed and now I have a tough choice to make: harvest/destroy or move plants. There is a strong chance I will chop Karen at the end of next week if she is ready or not.

๐Ÿ’™ Project Blue Tent โ€“ Week 8 Blue Waffle F1 โ€“ Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter inside Project Blue Tent! ๐Ÿ’™๐ŸŒฑ 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 โ€“ 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. ๐ŸŒธ โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ Week Eight โ€“ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ The Canopy โ€“ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ฅ Super Cropping โ€“ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Sometimes it feels like I'm having a conversation with the plant. Me: "Stay down." Plant B: "No." ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒฑ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Plant B โ€“ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ก Flowering Light โ€“ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Blue Tent โ€“ Flowering Conditions The environment remains remarkably consistent across the room. This week's recorded conditions were: โ€ข ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Day Temperature: 27ยฐC โ€ข ๐ŸŒ™ Night Temperature: 27ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Relative Humidity: 66% โ€ข ๐Ÿฅฅ Substrate Temperature: 24ยฐC โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ฆ Nutrient Solution Temperature: 19.2ยฐC โ€ข โš—๏ธ pH: 5.81 โ€ข โšก EC: 2.09 mS/cm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’จ COโ‚‚: approximately 666 ppm โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ก Light Schedule: 12/12 โ€ข ๐Ÿ’ง Irrigation: approximately 1.4 L/plant/24h โ€ข ? Pot Size: 8 L โ€ข ๐Ÿ“ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So for now, we're observing closely and managing what we can. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿฅฅ Feeding โ€“ Flowering Has Begun The nutritional program has also moved into the flowering recipe. Current feeding: โ€ข Plagron Hydro A โ€” 2 ml/L โ€ข Plagron Hydro B โ€” 2 ml/L โ€ข Plagron Hydro Roots โ€” 1 ml/L โ€ข Plagron Power Buds โ€” 1 ml/L โ€ข pH Plus โ€” 0.03 ml/L โ€ข pH Min โ€” 0.03 ml/L Current EC is approximately: 2.09 mS/cm with the nutrient solution sitting around 19.2ยฐC 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ง 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฟ Seven Weeks of Vegetation โ€“ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒฑ Plant B โ€“ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’ฅ Super Cropping โ€“ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐ŸŒธ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ‘€ 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. โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€โ”€ ๐Ÿ’™ 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. ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’™ 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. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’™
