💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 6 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent. If you're joining the adventure for the first time, welcome! This project follows four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia, all growing inside exactly the same environment, under the same lighting, receiving the same nutrition and following the same training schedule. Everything is identical. The only difference is the seed itself. That's what makes this project so interesting. Watching genetically stable F1 plants develop their own subtle personalities while removing as many environmental variables as possible allows us to really appreciate both their consistency and their individuality. Today we're checking in with Plant B. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Six – Building the Canopy Another fantastic week has passed inside the Blue Tent, and Plant B continues proving why I'm becoming such a fan of these Blue Waffle F1 genetics. After installing the SCROG net last week, the objective has completely changed. We're no longer trying to grow taller plants. Now we're growing sideways. Since tightening the SCROG net, all four plants are sitting at roughly the same height—around 60 cm—as the branches are continuously guided beneath the screen instead of being allowed to grow vertically. Every day I spend a few minutes gently tucking the tallest branches back underneath the net. As soon as one shoot rises above the canopy, it's carefully guided into the next square, allowing another branch to catch up. It's a slow process. But it's also one of the most satisfying parts of growing. The reward comes later, when every flowering site receives nearly identical light intensity across the entire canopy. Plant B has responded beautifully. She's steadily filling her section of the tent and showing exactly the kind of structure I was hoping for. ──────────────────────── 🌿 A Stable F1 Showing Her Strength One thing becoming increasingly obvious is just how stable these F1 genetics really are. Although each plant has its own small personality, all four sisters are developing remarkably similarly. The structure... The vigour... The colour... The response to feeding... Everything is wonderfully consistent. Plant B has maintained her compact, organised architecture while expanding nicely across the screen. The rich green colour has fully returned after increasing the nutrient strength a couple of weeks ago, and the new growth is healthy, vibrant and full of energy. Looking across the tent now, it's honestly difficult not to smile. The girls simply look happy. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment The environment has remained very stable once again despite the summer heat outside. This week's average conditions were: • Day Temperature: 30°C • Night Temperature: 25°C • Relative Humidity: 58% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.92 mS/cm • CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • Light Schedule: 18/6 • Irrigation: 1.2 litres per plant per day The warm nights are something I'll be keeping an eye on once flowering begins, as higher night temperatures can encourage a little extra stretch during the first weeks after the flip. That's tomorrow's problem though. Today our only objective is filling every square of that SCROG. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding & Irrigation Nothing changes this week because the plants have given me absolutely no reason to change anything. The feeding schedule remains: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L With only small pH adjustments whenever required. Some growers may look at an EC of 1.92 and think it's relatively high. My plants disagree. Their colour is rich. The leaves are praying. Growth is vigorous. The stems continue thickening every day. Plants don't care what feeding chart someone else follows. They care whether their own needs are being met. These girls have made their opinion very clear. ──────────────────────── 💧 Drip Irrigation & Automatic Drainage The Mars Hydro drip irrigation system continues making life wonderfully easy. Each plant receives approximately 1.2 litres of nutrient solution every day, delivered slowly and evenly through individual drippers positioned above each grow bag. Once the nutrient solution has passed through the coco, the runoff is automatically collected and removed by the drainage system installed beneath the pots. Together these two systems create an incredibly consistent root environment while removing much of the daily workload that normally comes with coco growing. Instead of carrying watering cans... I get to spend my time watching plants. That's a trade I'll happily make every day. ──────────────────────── 🐛 The Caterpillar Who Chose The Wrong Plant Every garden eventually reminds us that nature always finds a way. This week, Plant B became the only sister to receive an unexpected visitor. Somehow a tiny caterpillar managed to hitchhike its way from my vegetable garden into the Blue Tent and decided that Plant B's beautiful leaves looked particularly delicious. I have to admit... She must have looked especially healthy if even the caterpillar couldn't resist having a taste! Fortunately, regular daily inspections meant the damage was caught almost immediately. The caterpillar was removed by hand, the affected leaves were carefully trimmed away, and the problem never had an opportunity to develop into anything more serious. It also served as a perfect reminder that no matter how careful we are—and I always shower, change clothes and enter the grow room as clean as possible—nature can still surprise us from time to time. Clean habits reduce risk. Regular observation eliminates it. ──────────────────────── 🛡️ Integrated Pest Management Following the discovery, the entire tent received a thorough IPM (Integrated Pest Management) inspection. IPM isn't about waiting until pests become a problem. It's about combining good hygiene, regular inspections and preventative practices so problems are found while they're still tiny. As an additional precaution, I also used the Future of Grow UVC LED bar. Used correctly, UVC light can help reduce unwanted spores and microorganisms that may have entered the grow room, making it another useful preventative tool within an overall IPM strategy. It's important to mention that UVC should always be handled carefully. Direct exposure can damage both plants and skin, so eye protection and proper safety procedures are essential whenever using this type of equipment. Thankfully... One hungry caterpillar became nothing more than a short interruption to an otherwise fantastic week. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant B Herself Plant B continues becoming one of the easiest plants to train inside the tent. Her branches remain flexible, her internodal spacing is excellent and she seems perfectly happy being guided beneath the SCROG every single day. She's not racing ahead. She's building a beautifully organised framework that should become an outstanding flowering canopy once the time comes. Every week she seems a little fuller. Every week she looks a little stronger. And every week these Blue Waffle genetics impress me a little more. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead If everything continues progressing at this pace, I expect the screen to be almost completely filled by next week. Once that happens, the next major milestone will be a final clean-up and defoliation before flipping the Blue Tent into flower. Until then the routine stays wonderfully simple. Guide the branches. Maintain the environment. Keep the roots happy. Trust the process. Nature already knows what she's doing. We're simply helping her do it a little more efficiently. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these incredibly stable Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line that continues producing beautiful, healthy growth week after week. A special thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that has transformed daily watering into an almost effortless routine. A huge thank you as well to Future of Grow for the UVC LED bar, which has now become another valuable tool in my preventative IPM routine. Thank you to GrowDiaries for providing this amazing platform where growers from around the world can learn from one another, share experiences and document our journeys. And finally... Thank you to every single one of you following Project Blue Tent. Whether you've been here since germination, recently joined the adventure, leave comments every week or simply enjoy looking through the photos, your support genuinely means the world to me. Hopefully next week the screen will be completely filled, we'll perform our final defoliation and begin preparing these beautiful ladies for the next exciting chapter... Flowering. Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and I'll see you all soon. 🌱💙

Hi guys Been so busy but heres the update on the grow from today, so the stardawg is well into flower, the cheese is doing well although I have snapped the lst cheese twice and taped it back together, the blueberry is doing well and is going to be a beast, potnoodle grow off isn't going to bad, I will get some nitrogen into them as very pale. There is 3 new additions by the name of big budhas blue cheese that I will veg off the back of the autos for the next scrog run. Happy growing guys

Máme tu dosť silné búrky so silným vetrom.rastlina 1 dostala zabrať.jeden konár spadnutý na zemi,ale nebol zlomený.použil som pletivo ako podporu.stále vyzerajú ok.dnes posledné kŕmenie .držte im palce.mier

Week 6 is here

and another week has passed. she is developing very well. she tolerated the FIMing very well and she is getting really bushy. i have changed the fertiliser from biobizz-grow to biobizz-fishmix.

****She's now Eleven weeks old, I water her 5L a day with with 5ml/L Terra Bloom . The co2 will stay 1600 ppm .Week 12 starts (2/02/2025) tomorrow .Im still aint using a heater on my attic so Im now using less electricity then my growths. She growth again approx 4cm in bud height in one week so im happy .Wish you all a nice Sunday and hope that you will have a nice week a front of you ! 🙏😘♥️💚♥️💚♥️ ** Hello everyone! I am proud to announce that I have been asked to grow a seed of choice from Zamnesia. My choice fell on the Tropicana Cookies Autoflower (Zamnesia Seeds) feminized strain. Strain info https://www.zamnesia.com/10922-zamnesia-seeds-tropicana-cookies-automatic.html I hope you will enjoy this new grow just like I will do. Let's set another record for this strain, just like with the previous strain.👌 ENVIROMENT: **It took her seven days to poke her head above the ground. It's probably my fault, because I was impatient and planted her too soon, as she hadn't even reached half an inch of root. All in all, she looks healthy, and I'm happy with the result. I'll be more patient in the future, but I was too enthusiastic to start a new diary after a five-month absence from GD 😅😅** Light schedule : 24/0 Humidity : 50% Soilmoisture : 42% Temp : 26 Celsius Who am i ? I have always grown hydro for a little over 11 years. But growing started to look more and more like work because i was more busy with programming my controllers for the ph / humidity / lights / co2 / temperature. Also the realization that i have 2 children and my own house made me nervous for the authorities because where i live growing is not allowed. So i decided to grow smaller where i previously had 200x180x200 space i opted for 70x70x160 with the result that i can only grow 1 strain at a time. The intention is to remain self-sufficient in this way and still be able to exchange or give away something here and there at a party. Although I am sponsored I will not be able to grow every strain because not every strain can deliver the result I need to remain self-sufficient. If you know of an auto strain or photo strain that takes at least 11 to 15 weeks I would like to know so that I can grow it in the future and of course I will try to set a record for that grown strain. Because during the 4 grows that I can do per year I can only try to achieve a record since I cannot show you multiple strains at once. I am happy that after 11 years I have found growdiaries and that I have met you my friends.Greetings MonyetDiablero.

The single plant I grew harvested only 45 gram and was therefore the plant with the lowest yield out of my HOMEBOX tent. The SUPER LEMON HAZE grew very healthy with dark green colored leaves and developed very dense nugs with lots of trichomes in flowering. She has a STRONG HAZE AROMA all thru the cycle...simply smelling DELICIOUS!

Harvest for the pommelo pine the next week somewhere i think ...

17.05. I don't have anything special to say, of course the weather is terrible... it's 6-7 at night, 15-16 during the day, so they're inside... the temperature inside is 20-21 during the day, at night from 15 to 17 when it's this cold... the plants were exactly 3 weeks old yesterday, today they entered the fourth week and most likely they will wait inside for the fifth week as well because the weather is terrible and there is no point in transplanting yet. Stay High!

Finally peaked at the roots and they look healthy, all bright white. Flowers forming on all plants. Dark Purple KUSH plants have adjusted and the buds are growing well on those. Added Mammoth P microbes beginning of last week and again in the reservoir change this week. So far so good. Trimmed them all.

Day 8: Woke up and checked on the ladies, they were bone dry. Hit em with 70 ml of AN Coco Grow diluted in my mix. Day 9: Got the new lights in today and hooked up. Girls are looking pretty good I think. Still letting em dry out a little. Gonna add a shot of Great White on next water. No nutes will be in this shot. Day 10: Still looking good. Had to stack some loose Coco around a couple as they had a good stretch going and were leaning pretty good. Also noticed a couple of brown spots on the leaves. I am led to believe after asking questions and researching, it is more than likely nute burn? No more nutes for these girls for a while. I also got a humidifier to raise humidity as it was pretty low. Day 11: These girls almost double in size every day! They would probably be a little bigger if I hadn't of tried to give em a drink of nutes earlier on! Lesson learned!! Not bad for 6 days out of the ground regardless though, I think. Got a humidifier in the tent and it stays around 50% now. Other than last night it got up to 73%. I need to get that fixed. Day 12: Nothing new to update other than they look healthy. Think I am gonna let them dry out a touch more before watering. Day 13: Gave the girls 1 cup of ph 6.0 water this morning. Thermostat battery went out and lucky my girl caught it in time. Temp got to 86° for a couple of hours. Opened the tent for an hour to get the temp back down. Humidity has been hovering around 50% for the most part. Minor fluctuations here and there. Girls are looking good for 8 days out of the earth though!! 💪 Day 14: Looking like they need another drink, dry down to around 1" deep. Gave em 2.25 cups with super diluted Coco Grow and a touch of Great White. 😳 They are doing great! 👍 Looking forward to see what week 3 has in store! Going to build a support to add my 2 CREE lights back in along with the Mars lights.

Day 49! Starting to give her just plain water for 2 weeks of flushing. Getting really excited to harvest and then get going on another grow. See you next week.

beautiful looking plant, into the 7 gallon pot today and scrog after that. very happy with SUCCESS NUTRIENTS and ILGM. Back to enjoying the summer!

Como estamos familia, a día de hoy, viernes, llevamos exactamente 7 días en la fase de floración y todas ellas están marcadas por su sexo. Todo va sobre ruedas, tenemos mínimas de 20,5 y maximas de 28,5 grados. la humedad no supera nunca el 60%. Altura mínima lemon kush 25cm. Altura maxima northern light xl 42cm. •las power plant xl Han pegado un estirón serio, están empezando a ensanchar bastante. •una marea verde desde semilla, con tan solo 5 semanas de crecimiento y un solo trasplante desde que se germinó, para controlar un mal crecimiento.

Sticky and smell with a couple of bud Roth due to high rain fall. With 3 weeks away from finishing and full moon just passing on 17th October I am hopeful the sun would shine for the next three weeks.

Week 2 (23/03 - 29/03) D8: glass of tap water. D9: - D10: glass of tap water D11: 0.5 liters tap water with 1 ml of Biobizz Root-juice D12: - D13: glass of tap water D14: -
