5.8. - Pre-flowering stage. The weather over Central Europe is what it is: scorching heat, with the occasional extreme weather event thrown in. The girls are taking it just fine though. Yesterday it hit 41.5°C, and all I got was some light canoeing. Honestly, I was wilting more than they were. For the last two weeks, I've been trying to support the transition into flower by switching from Terra Vega to Terra Flores. The S.A.D. should theoretically start flowering sometime around August 10th, so everything looks perfectly normal there. Not so with the Blue Bullet Automatic from Sensi Seeds (the one I moved over to the right). According to what we're told about autos, they should spend about 3-4 weeks in veg. Well, we're now in week 12, and it's looking pretty much the same as the S.A.D. F1 Fast Version plants. Before anyone suggests it's not actually an auto, Sensi Seeds doesn't offer any Blue Bullet version other than the Automatic, and it was purchased directly from them. At this point it's basically ornamental cannabis. That said, it's the biggest auto I've ever seen. Looks like I'll be decorating it for Christmas and saving money on a Christmas tree this year. This definitely isn't shaping up to be a stealth run.

After coming back from my vacation and expecting some very nice growth on the plants I'm very slightly disappointed. I've grown these plants before so I know the structure and how well they will swell in the latter part of their growth. However these things have begun to stunt. I did make a very slight change to my regiments swapping out H2O2 for bleach instead to sterilize. After reading numerous articles and people ranting and raving about it I decided I would try it for myself. It does appear that it does keep the roots very nice and white and the reservoir nice and clean tables without algae however it comes at the cost of quantity of the final product. I will not be using this going forward.

The kief on this strain is like nothing I've ever seen, we've grown an insane amount of different strains (easily 3x what we've documented) and this one wins🏆.. I've included pictures but none can do it justice, the trichomes are visible to the naked eye and just falling over each other.. the smoke is very smooth (the little bit that's dry), this despite no cure yet, it melts in the pipe....we made another batch of tincture (for me lol), 12fl oz with 1oz Bruce Banger bud, oven dried slow and then decarbed at normal temps.. 10ml of this tincture made my knees weak lol, its been great for sleep at night..that last part was surprising to me, when smoked it definitely has all sativa qualities but the tincture is like Nyquil (I could have over cooked it)...as always accurate weights are out of the question, we dry only our half here and the rest goes to other houses to dry once harvested but if I had to guess I'd say we got around roughly a half lb, maybe 7ozs..the dry box smells like Fruit Loops cereal with a little bit of diesel ⛽ 🍓, its really pleasant..I'm really glad we grabbed clones of this, we have roughly 10 plants, some will be passed to family but we'll definitely be flowering a bunch more for ourselves... thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️💡🌱😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~

Harvesting my fist plant this week. I've read that stopping watering before harvest will increase resin production. You can see that most leafs on the bottom right plant turned yellow. Most of its trichomes are cloudy with a few amber ones here and there.

Eccoci qua ragazzi stiamo arrivando alla fine di questa esperienza outdoor molto rischiosa a mio parere! Pensate che dove mi trovo io davanti a casa mia certe volte gli sbirri fanno posti di blocco! Infatti penso che ancora una settimana al massimo e poi provvederò subito a raccogliere e seccare, xke la situazione di sta facendo davvero troppo rischiosa.. A parte questo la ragazza sta proprio esplodendo! Ha completamente cambiato colore verso un violaceo nero quasi scuro, causa le temp ma anche il fenotipo già tendeva verso questa colorazione, la pianta in sé è davvero immensa più di 180 cm in un vaso da 12.5 litri, questo significa che i nutrienti plagron sono davvero fenomenali! Stanno gonfiando le cime in modo assurdo e senza che ci sia una minima carenza nelle foglie più basse! Non avendola toppata ne altro è venuta grande a stile di albero di natale! Davvero impressionante! L odore è molto pungente sentori di frutti di bosco e bacche rosse, nn saprei distinguere bene, vedremo poi piu avanti, l unico problema è questo odore motlo intenso e fragrante si sta diffondendo anche nelle abitazioni circostanti sopratutto la sera quindi sono preoccupato che qualcuno possa fare un infamata e mi rovinerebbe la vita.. Apparte ciò speriamo che nn faccia muffa xke l umidità la notte è davvero alta, per adesso nn ho avuto ancora di questi problemi per fortuna, una genetica molto resistente sembra a questo tipo di stress.. Speriamo bene incrociamo le dita e fate una preghiera per me! Alla prossima settimana! Vi adoro e un buon 420 a tutti voi! 💪😸🌱🌿🌲🍀🤤😽💨❄️🇵🇸

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 6 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 all about exploring the incredible Blue Waffle F1 genetics from Zamnesia while putting the complete Zamnesia ecosystem through its paces. Rather than documenting four plants as one diary, each phenotype receives its own weekly report, allowing us to appreciate how identical F1 genetics can still express their own individual personalities despite growing under exactly the same conditions. Every week we observe how each plant responds to training, nutrition and the environment, slowly building a complete picture of who they are becoming. As I always like to say... We're not just growing plants. We're getting to know them. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Six – Filling Every Corner This week has been all about patience, consistency and allowing the canopy to slowly take over the tent. Plant A now stands at approximately 60 cm tall and has spent the entire week doing exactly what I hoped she would do after installing the SCROG net. Rather than stretching vertically, she's investing her energy into filling her own corner of the screen with healthy new shoots. Every day I spend a few minutes gently guiding the tallest branches back underneath the net, encouraging them to grow horizontally instead of racing upward. For anyone unfamiliar with the technique, SCROG (Screen of Green) is designed to create one large, even canopy instead of allowing a few dominant branches to tower above the rest. By weaving each branch beneath the screen, every future flowering site receives similar light intensity, producing a much more uniform canopy once flowering begins. It's not something you do once. It's something you do a little every single day. Little by little the branches spread, new shoots appear, and before long the entire screen begins filling itself. Plant A has embraced the process beautifully. She isn't fighting the training. She's working with it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant Development Opening the tent each morning has become incredibly rewarding. The lighter green colour we observed a couple of weeks ago has completely disappeared, replaced by rich, healthy foliage from top to bottom. The adjustment we made to the feeding schedule has clearly been exactly what these ladies were asking for. Plant A now looks vigorous, balanced and full of energy. Her leaves are broad, healthy and beautifully coloured, while the new growth remains vibrant without showing any signs of nutrient stress despite running an EC that some growers might initially consider relatively high. One thing I've learned over many years is that nutrient strength isn't about following someone else's numbers. It's about listening to what your own plants are telling you. Right now these girls are telling me they're happy. So nothing changes. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment Despite the middle of summer bringing consistently warm weather outside, the environment inside the Blue Tent continues to remain remarkably stable. 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 small difference between day and night temperatures is something I'll be paying attention to once flowering begins, as warmer nights can encourage additional stretch during the early weeks of bloom. For now though, while we're still focused entirely on vegetative growth and filling the SCROG, these conditions continue producing exactly the results I'm looking for. One challenge at a time. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding Program The feeding schedule remains unchanged because the plants have shown absolutely no reason for me to adjust it. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: • Hydro A – 1.9 ml/L • Hydro B – 1.9 ml/L • Hydro Roots – 1 ml/L With only minor pH adjustments where required. Although an EC of 1.92 may appear relatively high to some growers, the plants couldn't be giving me clearer feedback. Rich green foliage. Strong stems. Rapid vegetative growth. Healthy root development. Plants don't read feeding charts. They simply tell us whether they're happy. And these girls certainly are. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ The SCROG Continues This week the screen has really started showing its purpose. Every day I continue tucking the tallest branches back beneath the net, encouraging lateral growth while allowing slower branches to catch up. The objective isn't simply to keep the plants short. The objective is to create dozens of future flowering tops all sitting at roughly the same height. Once the screen is almost completely filled, we'll perform one final defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration before flipping the tent into flower. We're getting closer every single day. Nature is building the canopy. I'm simply guiding it. ──────────────────────── 🐛 An Unexpected Visitor This week also reminded me that no matter how careful we are, nature always finds ways to surprise us. While inspecting the plants I discovered a single caterpillar happily enjoying one of the leaves. Considering how strict I am with hygiene before entering the grow room, it genuinely caught me by surprise. I always shower, change into clean clothes and do everything possible to avoid bringing unwanted guests inside. Yet somehow... One tiny traveller still managed to find its way from the vegetable garden into the tent. Thankfully, regular inspections meant the problem was caught immediately. The caterpillar was removed by hand, the damaged leaves were cleaned up, and an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) inspection was carried out across the entire grow. IPM isn't simply reacting when problems appear. It's creating regular routines that help prevent small issues from ever becoming large ones. Observation is always the first line of defence. ──────────────────────── 🛡️ A Little Extra Protection To finish the inspection, I also used the Future of Grow UVC LED bar as an additional preventative measure. UVC light can help reduce unwanted spores and microorganisms that may have found their way into the grow room, making it another useful tool within an overall IPM strategy. It's important to mention that UVC must always be used responsibly. Direct exposure can damage both plants and skin, so proper precautions and eye protection are essential whenever working with this type of equipment. Used correctly, however, it becomes another valuable layer of prevention rather than waiting for problems to appear. As always... Prevention is easier than treatment. ──────────────────────── 💙 Plant A's Personality Every phenotype has its own way of growing. Plant A continues proving herself to be one of the most balanced girls inside the Blue Tent. She isn't trying to dominate the canopy. She isn't rushing toward flower. Instead she's quietly filling her own space with healthy branches, beautiful leaf colour and excellent structure. Every week she seems more comfortable with the training, and every week her corner of the tent becomes a little fuller. She's exactly the kind of plant that rewards patience. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead If everything continues at this pace, I expect the SCROG screen to be almost completely filled over the coming week. Once that happens, the next major milestone will be a final clean-up and defoliation before flipping the tent into flower. Until then, the daily routine remains wonderfully simple. Tuck the branches. Observe the plants. Keep the environment stable. Let nature do the heavy lifting. Sometimes growing isn't about doing more. It's about knowing when to simply stay out of the plant's way. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these outstanding Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A massive thank you to Plagron for providing the Premium Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line, which continues delivering beautiful, healthy growth week after week. A special thank you to Mars Hydro for the drip irrigation and automatic drainage system that keeps watering both simple and reliable. Thank you as well to Future of Grow for the excellent UVC LED bar, which has now become another valuable tool within my Integrated Pest Management routine. And finally, thank you to GrowDiaries and to every single person following this journey. Whether you're here to learn, share your own experience, ask questions or simply enjoy watching these phenotypes develop, I genuinely appreciate every visit, every comment and every conversation. Hopefully next week we'll have a completely filled SCROG, perform our final defoliation, and prepare these beautiful ladies for the moment we've all been waiting for... Flowering. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💙

Defo going keep going with f1 I have more still growing and there the biggest plants I've had thanks zameizia you guys are amazing

She looks beautiful:) I cleaned her leaves, she's not big, I haven't had many photo growths, but those times were faster, but this girl really has a lot of branches,:) which makes me happy:) I'll give her another week 18/6 :) good luck to all:)

Fday50-Fday65 ripening for koloblom dry I have 4 plants harvesting maby 250-300 gr 😍

Start of Flowerweek 2

7/2 Last week it was extremely hot (80's-90's) with cold nights. We had a severe thunderstorm last night and it's raining like crazy today. I didn't spend time in the garden as it was pouring. However I defoliated yesterday briefly. I had maybe a half dozen leaves yellow and die a couple days after the organicide application. They were mostly the largest oldest fan leaves most infected with pm. A couple smaller interior leaves yellowed and died as well but they were the leaves most infected. I assume that's normal. As I defoliated I noticed my first aphid of the season. I saw a few dead ones the organicide killed and a couple that were alive. Aphids aren't a big deal. They'll be evicted soon enough. I haven't seen one spot of pm though since the application. Maybe a little on a dead leaf but it seems to be working good. Didn't take pictures today but needed one to update the diary. Trying to upload videos but they take forever. 7/3 Ridiculously hot all last week. Extremely hot yesterday then a severe thunderstorm but it cleared to 90 degrees with 90%rh. This environment is a fungal nirvana. Still a slight smell from the organicide. I'm glad I used it though. I threw away some more leaves but this is the time that starts happening anyway. Before the stretch. With the ideal conditions I saw WPM rear it's head again. Only this time the organicide seemed to still have a residue. The PM only infected the super old biggest fan leaves and a few tiny tiny leaves on the very interior of the plant. I didn't know I had aphids but I've found a few dead on the underside of leaves I defoliated. So it seems to be working. My plants are growing towards the sun (partially due to my tarps which I need to be legal) which make airflow harder to maintain. My dad gave away my pallets this year. I had planned to put bags and supports on pallets with some sort of wheel so I could spin them. Oh well I'll do that next year in my new location. I have also found moth holes in couple leaves so BT it will still be needed. If videos didn't take so long to upload I would have a bunch. Happy growing. 7/5 Watered lightly (as it had been 90's) before feeding three gallons to the garden. Noticed some telltale leafhopper signs on a 9lb kush. The organicide seems to be doing a decent job of keeping PM at bay. The blueberry is now the worst it seems. I'm planning on another application before I try anything heavier. The fishy smell is now totally gone. Plants seem healthy and are a nice dark green. I have had some problems that have effected my ability to fully care for my girls. I have some defoliation I need to do. I also see moths sometimes in the morning plus the pm and the random munch. I guess that's to be expected outside but I need to get on top of this shit. I also have more LST I could be doing. 7/6 Rained all night and still off and on. Can't see any pm but I've found a few spots on the blueberry that could be septoria. I'm going to hit them either tonight or tomorrow with the organicide and if it doesn't work I may try a sulfer based fungacide. Took a few pictures. I need to defoliate as well. 7/7 Uploaded some duplicate pics accidentally. If I could've created the perfect environment for fungal infections I don't think I could've done better than yesterday. Hence the organicide. I was surprised it wasn't pronounced and only a little here and there. Also saw leaf hopper and pillar damage so hopefully this will straighten that out. Blueberry seems weak in it's stalk. I'm not sure if the wind is blowing it against that hard metal circle around it. It may have septoria. If it does I'll have to switch to something different or junk the plant. 7/8 This sucks. I can see signs of leaf septoria on the GDPs. This is definitely not a strain for the Maine climate. It's not resilient enough against diseases. This year has been particularly bad with 40 degree temp swings and rain then bright hot sun. I couldn't engineer better conditions. I appears senescence starts at the same time looking back over the past four years. However maybe that's just the life cycle of the earwigs. Oh yeah. I raked the inside of the grow bag with my hand and AT LEAST a half dozen earwigs came out RIGHT FROM THE SOIL IN THE BAG. I dealt with these prehistoric bastards last year and lost half my harvest. They eat other insects but the spread disease like crazy and they DO eat your plant while leaving behind the worst bacteria and plant disease. I have research to do. Like I said. This sucks. I'm changing locations next year but I need some help dealing with the septoria and the earwigs or I'll be fucked again. I defoliated anything that looked suspect. Still need to improve airflow.

Hi Fellow Growers They are going good. The heat its stressing them. the are not drinking so much water and yellowing a bit.... Not so Nitrogen Green but i thinkthey are doing fine. Maybe some Co2 whould help them. Give me some Ideias how can a use the heat and make it become beneficial Chears BrotherHood

Any suggestions on what I should be doing I put soil around stem and added wind to fatten stem but I don’t have a oscillating so it’s Blowing above it moving stem all day is that good ? Why is she so pointy wind or light to close ?

nice first grow with the 2 autos

Do-Si-dos auto is doing good. It looks like she is switching over to do some bulking soon. I started adding pk to the solution a few days ago. Everything is looking great at the moment.

I ran into a mold and bug problem around this week, so I started harvesting branches in an emergency to save what i could

Snello sweet 37 g Dry

Here are week two looking lovely

Hello, fin de la semaine 9, floraison semaine 3. Les plantes se portent plutôt bien, même si j’ai pu constater sur une plante en particulier une coloration tirant un peu sur le jaune léger,, mais dans l’ensemble, je pense qu’elles sont plutôt en bonne santé. Nous sommes aussi au jour 21 de la floraison, j’ai donc effectué une dernière défoliation je pense. Et un bon arrosage pour bien enrichir la terre pour qu’elles récupèrent correctement de leur défoliation. Voilà c’est a peu près tout pour cette semaine.. à la semaine prochaine Happy grow...😎
