Been a while since any updates here on growdiaries, but now im back! Gonna start keeping progress of my plants here again, so here is the info of this new diary: 11 straberry lemonades from Barneys farm 1 granddaddy purple from Blimburn seeds (freebie) i've been hunting for a special SBL pheno to keep as a mother. 3 of the them have the terp profile im looking for, i'll refeer to them as SBL 1, SBL 2, SBL 3. the other 8 SBLS are not what im looking for. The GDP is looking and smelling amazing too, one of the best looking plants i've ever grown. Plants with 34 days of flower - 31/08/24

💙 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! 🌱💙

Thanks for checking out my grow. 😉👍🏼 Feel free to check out my others, and follow along for more to come. 🌿🌺

Just fine. Lots of growth. Started to think we vegged for too long and decided to go into flower for week 8. Watering every two to three days at PH of 6 and once a week with a tea.

Plants continued to stretch last week, I had to weave a couple branches through the top screen as well to keep them level with the canopy. Overall it’s going good, I did a defoliation again a few days ago to try and open up as many budding sites as possible to the light. I noticed some nutrient burn on my leaf tips at the end of last week so I diluted the reservoir water with 3 gal of fresh water. My HPS light is still turned down to 750w as the light output at the top of the canopy exceeds 75 000 lux directly under the light even turned down. I have a light mover moving my light though so it’s not always in one spot. This is only my second crop using this light mover though so I’m still adjusting its speed and pause time and doing some experimenting with it...lol smell is normal still, not strong but it’s noticeable when you open up the tent. I will be updating more pictures and videos throughout the week as well. Cheers 💨

At the start of week 14 she’s looking amazing Some Amber pistels are showing but i’m still gonna give her 1 week before i start to flush i think Lets see how this week evolves but already she has big fat cola’s on her Day 92 lost 1 Bud to mold i have inspected her and it was Just one gonna keep a close eye on her the upcoming days Day 94 she’s looking amazing inspected her for a few days and rehung my fan so it blows more air into her and no more mold detected so fingers crossed 🤞🤞😉😉 Day 97 no more mold detected and she’s finishing up nicely Also started her 8 day flush with ph balanced rain water

Started out the week with a mini flush and nutrient change. The plants are doing great, the buds are filling out and leaves are beginning to get frosty.

I hope every pops up but break up cake was the only who not sink after 12h I do second break up cake and second dream sherbet I will from every strain !¡🤣🤣🤣

Sorpresa, dopo il brutto tempo che ha fatto in questi giorni, la mia dolcezza ha fatto una cambiamento di colore da verde scuro a viola... Sono soddisfatta ha un buon profumo che si sente bene Anke all'aria aperta.

Dropped RQS Diesel Automatic this week, she has not sprouted out of the soil yet, but its only been 4 days. I expect her to pop in the next 24-48 hours. I'll add new pics once she sprouts. Planning a slightly different strategy with this girl. no HST, only LST, and FIM'ing instead of topping. Looking forward to watching what happens. She is front-center in the group pics. My Perpetual Harvest strategy…. Originally my plan was to start 2 seeds each month, but had some seeds from one breeder that did not germinate early in my rotation. Ultimately, this caused single seeds to pop and messed up my 2 at a time plans. But, that seemed to work out OK, because now I think starting one seed every 3 weeks is a better strategy. This should provide me with 4-5 plants at a time, instead of 6. By the way, I never had any germination problems with seeds from other breeders. (I don’t want to bad mouth any breeders, but the seeds that didn’t germinate came from a popular breeder/advertiser that is most commonly known by 4 letters). Plants get fed once weekly on weekends. Seedlings get water only. Plants in vegetation get water and Recharge. Flowering plants get water, Recharge and Big Bloom (Fox Farm). Feeding is done using 2 gallon watering can. Any additional waterings during the week are given on an as needed basis per plant. I lift the plants to help determine which plants are more dry (lighter) and provide water any plants via water bottles and watering spikes. I also rotate each plant 90 degrees every day in an effort to make sure the plants get equal lighting from all sides. I rotate the plant in place by turning the pot 90 degrees (I am not rearranging the layout of the plants in the tent on a daily basis). The soil is an ‘organic super soil’ I mixed myself using organic top soil, organic potting soil, organic compost, organic peat moss, organic perlite, organic vermiculite, lime, epsom salt, expanded clay pellets and Jobe’s organic fast start. I am also recycling my soil and water with Recharge when using recycled soil. For plant training I have tried a variety of things, but my plans here are to do LST bending only, no HST this time. Around 3 week I'll do a FIM cut/pinch once there are 4-5 nodes established. I will also be doing some defoliation around the 3rd week of flowering. I have been doing HST bending and having good results, but think the HST may be causing the plants to take longer to harvest. I hope LST only will help increase harvests while getting me to harvest sooner. Setup: 1- Grow Tent 24”x48”x72” 2- Viparspectra 300W LED’s (1-V300 & 1-R300) 1- Hanging 100w CFL (26w actual) 1- Carbon Filter w/ 190cfm Fan & 4” ducts 1- 6” clip-on fan 1- 700w electric heater - oil filled radiator (in front of air intake behind tent)

I have decided to place it in 50 liters but in a more hidden place.

Hello dear fellow growers 😎 we are in the 2rd week of flowering and the 2 ladies are doing great! I'm going to start using Biobizz's bio bloom stimulator this week to improve cell division and nutrient uptake, I intentionally don't give too much otherwise the weed gets a very sweet taste (disadvantage of this product if you don't like it) The bloom stretch is almost finished, I reckon with a final height of 1.70m despite Lst since the beginning, the plant was also defoliated below! There are umpteen blossoms on both plants, you only have to look at a small part and you can already see around 20-30 and the thickness of the stems is crazy! Expect huge buds and a good yield 💯💯😎😎😍 HAD NO YELLOW LEAF YET, if a deficiency occurs in the 5th week of flowering, it will no longer be noticed. I hope you like my report, if you want leave a like there Update : Hello colleagues, here is a short update: first of all sorry that you see the Runtz muffin always with puff light! Unfortunately, I don’t have the opportunity to take the plant out of its home and I don’t want to take pictures in the dark phase because otherwise seeds would arise (stress). But I promise you when the strain is ready comes a detailed report in writing and pictures without pufflicht the two plants are perfect, I had neither a deficiency or a yellow leaf on both plants, the only stress was to top, (lst I do not see as much stress) the two are still growing and many small flower sets were removed below, the leaves but calm. Your Deutschergrower86 Hallo liebe Growkollegen 😎 wir befinden uns in der 2 Blütenwoche und den 2 Damen geht es prächtig! Ich werde diese Woche beginnen den Bio Blüte stimulator von Biobizz zu verwenden um die Zellteilung und Nährstoffaufnahme zu verbessern, ich gebe absichtlich nicht zu viel da sonst das weed einen sehr süßen Geschmack bekommt (Nachteil von diesem Produkt wenn man es nicht mag) Der Blütestrech ist fast abgeschlossen, ich rechne mit einer End Höhe von 1,70m trotz Lst seit Anfang, zudem wurde die Pflanze untenrum noch mal Entlaubt! Es befinden sich zig Blüten anSätze an beiden Pflanzen, man braucht nur einen kleinen Teil ansehen und sieht schon um die 20-30 und die dicke der Stämme ist irre! Rechne mit riesen Buds und gutem ertrag 💯💯😎😎😍 HATTE NOCH KEIN GELBES BLATT, falls noch der 5 Blütenwoche ein Mangel auftritt wird dieser nicht mehr wahr genommen. Ich hoffe mein Report gefällt euch, wenn ihr wollt lasst ein like da Euer Deutschergrower86😎

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de floración de estas Mandarin Panties feminizadas de Seedstockers. Vamos al lío, las plantas se trasplantaron a macetas de 7 litros. El ph se controla en 6.5, la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/21 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 100% de potencia. Tenemos como visitante de nuevo los trips, compré depredadores que colocaré a principios de semana. Me gustaría estar más encima este cultivo pero la salud me está impidiendo un poco estar 100% con el proyecto. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Stiamo ancora raccogliendo,ancora nessuna pianta é morta,sto rimuovendo piano piano le cime più mature,così facendo evitiamo le cime popcorn e diamo il tempo alla pianta di riempire anche le cime inferiori,per adesso levando quella fumata e venduta siamo all'incirca sui 780g,però aspettiamo anche il nuovo stendino,alla fine del raccolto dovremmo arrivare a quasi 2 Kili con 7 piante e 6 vasi,con una media di 333g a pianta,ho pubblicato tutto quello che potevo,ogni procedimento,spero vi piaccia e mi seguiate

She is becoming a monster! Which is awesome. The mainlining really made a huge difference for her overall production. My first Black Jack I just simply LST the main stem and that was about it for training grew to 15" after 12 weeks. This girl is already 15.5" and still getting taller, the bud sites are just way better and should fill in great, excited! Cheers 😎💪

Chinazes) The nuts have all sprouted, Easy to grow, 70 days have passed from the beginning of the first week to harvest, Incredible, sweet, delicious smell, once you smell this aroma, you can enjoy this smell for hours)) I recommend it to everyone!!)) I will put this variety in the top.

Blüten werden immer dichter .... Tag 66 : Planung : Wetter mit viel Sonne nächste Woche .... Nochmals knapp 2 Wochen düngen, dann spülen ... wahrscheinliche Ernte Woche 14 !

Danach habe ich leider vergessen Fotos zu machen beziehungsweise auch Videos deswegen folgt nach Woche zwei Woche vier

Day 15(27.05)= Very well today. I watered the plants with water (ph 6.5). To water them I used 10% of the volume of the pot (0.65 liters per plant) Day 18(30.05)= the weather was very bad today. He started to hail and the plants were hit by the hail and a few leaves broke. I put the plants indoors to avoid damaging them even more. Day 21(02.06)= the weather continues to be very bad. it seems that the plants are no longer growing. unfortunately in this period they are taking little direct light because the weather is always cloudy. I hope the situation improves.
