💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 8 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno A (Folder 13A) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter inside Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If you're new here, welcome aboard. Project Blue Tent is our little experiment with four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia, each documented separately from seed to harvest. All four ladies share the same environment, lighting, irrigation, nutrition and general care. And yet... They still manage to show their own little personalities. We're not just growing plants. We're getting to know them. And this week? Well... They're finally in flower. 🌸 ──────────────────────── 🌸 Week Eight – Welcome to Flower This week feels completely different. After seven weeks of vegetative growth, the Blue Tent has finally made the transition into flowering. And honestly... I think these girls were ready for it before I was. The entire tent has been growing at an incredible pace. In roughly one week, some of these plants have gained close to 30 cm, while simultaneously becoming denser, producing developing flowering sites and generally accelerating in every direction. They're not simply getting taller. They're building. Branches are extending. New growth is appearing everywhere. Flowering sites are developing rapidly. And the whole room suddenly feels like it has shifted into another gear. Looking back, I may have kept them in vegetation a little longer than I normally would. Seven weeks of vegetative growth is definitely on the longer side for the way I usually run these plants. But there's no point looking backwards now. The canopy is established. The plants are healthy. The screen has done its job. And now we're going to see what happens when these beautiful F1 ladies are finally allowed to flower. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ From SCROG to Flower The SCROG has been one of the most important parts of this entire vegetative phase. For weeks, we weren't trying to make the plants taller. We were trying to distribute their growth across the available space. Branches were gently guided beneath the screen, allowing the canopy to develop horizontally rather than allowing individual tops to dominate vertically. And looking at Plant A now... I'd say the mission was successful. The canopy is remarkably even. From above, it is becoming increasingly difficult to tell where one plant ends and another begins. That's exactly what we wanted. A relatively uniform surface where multiple flowering sites can develop under similar conditions rather than having a few dominant tops towering over everything underneath them. Of course, now comes the interesting part. Flowering stretch. And judging by what these plants have done during the last week... I have a feeling they're not planning on staying at this height for very long. 😅 ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant A – The Race Has Started Plant A is looking absolutely beautiful. The colour is one of the first things that catches my attention. That rich, healthy green we've been working toward is still there, and the plant looks full of energy. But her biggest characteristic this week is simple: Speed. She is moving. Fast. The transition into flower has clearly brought a completely different level of activity to the plant. New growth is appearing quickly, branches are extending, and the developing flowering sites are becoming increasingly obvious. At approximately 81 cm, she's already gained a considerable amount of height since the last report. And that's exactly why I'm watching this flowering stretch so closely. We have a very even canopy right now. I'd love to keep it that way. But with seven weeks of vegetative development behind these plants, combined with the warm and relatively similar day and night temperatures, I fully expect some stretching. The challenge now isn't creating the canopy. We've already done that. The challenge is seeing how well we can maintain it while the plants transition into full flowering. ──────────────────────── 💡 Starting Flower Under Strong Light We're also entering flower with a fairly ambitious lighting strategy. Rather than slowly easing the plants into lower light levels, we're starting flowering at approximately 800 PPFD. The idea is straightforward: The plants have developed a large, healthy canopy during vegetation, and now I want to see how they respond as flowering begins. I'm particularly interested in seeing whether maintaining strong light from the beginning can help encourage compact development despite the factors that may push these plants toward additional stretch. Will it keep them compact? Honestly... I'm not completely convinced. 😂 Seven weeks of vegetation. Rapid growth. Warm days. Warm nights. And now the beginning of flowering. That's a lot of ingredients for stretch. But that's also what makes this project so interesting. We're not trying to predict everything perfectly. We're watching what the plants actually do. And Plant A is already telling us that she's ready to move. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent – Flowering Conditions The environmental conditions have shifted slightly with the transition into flower, while the overall stability of the room remains excellent. This week's recorded conditions were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 27°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 66% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution Temperature: 19.2°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.81 • ⚡ EC: 2.09 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 666 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 12/12 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.4 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 8 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 81 cm One thing I'm particularly interested in during this phase is the temperature difference. There really isn't much of one. Day and night temperatures are currently sitting around the same level. That's something I'm watching carefully because plants can tend to stretch more when nighttime temperatures remain relatively warm. Combine that with the amount of vegetative growth these girls have already accumulated... And we may have an interesting few weeks ahead. For now, though, they're looking fantastic. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding Program – A Small Step Forward With flowering officially underway, the nutrition has also moved forward slightly. The current recipe is: • Plagron Hydro A — 2 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 2 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L With pH adjustment as required. The resulting EC is currently approximately 2.09 mS/cm. This is a small progression from the previous vegetative recipe rather than a dramatic change. And that's intentional. The plants are hungry. They're growing incredibly quickly. They're entering flowering. But I still prefer making measured changes and then watching how the plants respond rather than changing everything at once. The plants have already given us some very clear feedback during this project. Beautiful colour. Fast growth. Strong structure. Healthy foliage. So we're continuing to listen. ──────────────────────── 💧 The Drip & Drainage System – Working Together One of the things I really want to highlight this week is the irrigation system because it has become such an important part of Project Blue Tent. The Mars Hydro drip irrigation and drainage setup isn't simply watering the plants. The two sides of the system are working together. 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 beneath the grow bags. From there, the drainage system channels the collected solution through a pipe toward the pump. The pump then moves the collected solution back toward the reservoir. So what we have is effectively a recirculating system, where irrigation and drainage work together as one continuous setup. And honestly... It's working wonders. The plants are drinking. The roots are being supplied consistently. The runoff is being removed automatically. And the entire process happens without me having to manually carry watering cans around the room every day. That's especially valuable now that the plants have entered flowering and their water demand is increasing. The system is quietly doing its job in the background. I get to spend my time watching the plants instead. And I much prefer that. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Why This Week Feels Different There is something fascinating about watching a plant move from vegetation into flower. Yesterday you're looking at leaves and branches. Then suddenly... You start seeing the plant change its priorities. The growth becomes more pronounced. The flowering sites begin developing. The branches start extending. The structure you've spent weeks building begins transforming into something completely different. And because these plants were allowed to develop for seven weeks in vegetation, there is a lot of structure available for that transformation to work with. Plant A has a fantastic starting point. The canopy is even. The branches are well distributed. The stems are strong. The foliage is healthy. Now we simply have to see what she does with it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant A's Personality Plant A continues to be one of those phenotypes that makes me smile whenever I open the tent. She's vigorous. She's responsive. She's beautifully structured. And apparently... She's in a hurry. 😂 Her development throughout vegetation was impressive, but the speed at which she's now transitioning into flower is something else entirely. There's a real sense of momentum around this plant. At the moment, she remains remarkably similar to her sisters, which is another fascinating observation from this project. Despite giving each phenotype its own diary, the four plants continue showing an incredible level of uniformity. From above, they're almost becoming one giant plant. But when you look closely... The little differences start appearing. And that's exactly what this project is about. ──────────────────────── 🌸 The Big Question – How Much Will They Stretch? This is probably the question I'm most curious about now. The plants were vegetated for seven weeks. They have grown extremely quickly during the last week. Day and night temperatures are currently very similar. And flowering has just begun. All of those factors make me expect some additional vertical growth. How much? That's what we're about to discover. I'm hoping the strong lighting and the structure we've created will help keep the canopy reasonably compact. But I'm not going to pretend I know exactly what will happen. Sometimes the plant gets the final vote. And these girls have already demonstrated that they have plenty of energy. So... Let's see what they do. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead The next couple of weeks are going to be fascinating. The major vegetative work is finished. The SCROG has been filled. The canopy has been cleaned. The plants have recovered. And now we're officially into flowering. Our main job from here is observation. Watching the stretch. Watching the developing flowers. Watching the colour. Watching the plants' response to the new nutritional program. And, of course, keeping that environment as stable as possible while the room becomes increasingly dense. Plant A has an excellent starting position. Now nature takes over. And considering how quickly she's been moving already... I have a feeling the next report is going to look very different from this one. 🌸 ──────────────────────── 💙 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 that have supported these plants throughout their entire vegetative journey and now into flowering. A special thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting that has helped us build this remarkably even canopy and will now be putting that flowering structure to work. And a huge thank you to Mars Hydro for the drip irrigation and automatic drainage system. Watching the irrigation and drainage work together throughout this project has been incredibly satisfying. The consistency, automation and recirculating setup have made managing four rapidly growing plants considerably easier. Thank you as well to GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document their journeys, share experiences and learn from one another. And finally... Thank you to every single person following Project Blue Tent. We've spent seven weeks building these plants. Seven weeks of training. Seven weeks of SCROG. Seven weeks of watching them develop. And now... Flower has officially arrived. 🌸💙 The canopy is ready. The plants are healthy. The lights are on. And the real transformation is just beginning. Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

Day 15 since seed touched soil. All is going amazing. Yesterday topped them up a bit. Stems looks lanky, would expect stronger by now, but generally girls fly ! Off course i watered them straight after goodies were rubbed into top soil. Great White - 4 g sprinkled around for each plant BioSys same amount. Ecothrive Bio Blend - 200 grams added to each pot. Devil biggest, nicest and is happy camper at the moment. Lights are still on 40%, Mars as always has great products for growers. Think this week i will start some training. Day 19. Yesterday girl got 800 ml of 6.3 ph water. She is flying 4sure, thinking to train her tomorrow. Day 20. First LST. Watering straight after, plus Biobizz Leaf Coat shower. Approx 2.5 liters went in, first big saturation. Happy Growing !!!

Cambiamos de fotoperiodo y las plantas rápido han pegado el cambio y ya sacan los primeros pelitos

Watered plain 6:7/26

Sie macht die ersten Centimeter 🙏

Moved this plant from the front to the back to make it easier to finish LST and defoliating on two other plants. This plant is slightly smaller then 2211 and the node spacing is tighter. Anyway. No signs of deficiency or over feeding. No signs of under or over watering. Everything seems good. Some slight red on stalks and petioles, so slight under feeding of P or K. Humidity is hovering between 55 and 65 which I am okay with for now. I added black strap molasses and set dehumidifier to 60% this week. Will drop to 55% next week, and 50% for final weeks. Pictures coming soon

Pleased that both seeds germinated and sprouted. The fascination is just beginning.

She’s looking rather beautiful. Love the structure of this lady wishing I cloned her. If she starts stacking up weight that would be a cherry on top. Smells fruity pebbles with a funky gas backend. Lovely orange hairs covering the buds already she’s going to be colorful !

Nov.5 -we placed these girls in a paper towel and paper towel in ziplock Nov.6 - Once girls seeds showed tap root we placed the tap root down into the rockwool Nov.9 - Started DWC, put a small layer of pellets at the bottom then placed in rockwool then covered rockwool with pellets Nov.10 - Took a light away and put it in our small tent, these guys only have the one light now

Hello. I've harvested the Mega Mouth. WOW!!! I'm very impressed with this strain. Over 1.5 k for 5 plants. and it was finished by Aug 20 with the tents help. I'm trying some new (for me) categories to add to my report. Plant Stretch (PS) 1 to 5- 1 is hardly any stretch. Bud Mutation (BM) 1 to 5- 1 is a beautiful normal bud- 5 is big weird growths like foxtails. Trim- How easy or hard it was to trim up 1- you blow on the branch and hang it up. 5- Is very hard to trim takes a long time. About- Best guess on the THC % (I've been smoking a long time) Resin- 1 is super slippery 5- is very sticky like Gorilla Glue. Size of Buds (SOB) 1- is very small 5- is the biggest buds Dense- 1- is the lightest or fluffiest 5- is the rock hard buds your bud buster has trouble busting up. Plant #1 Wet Trim 1647 g PS. 3.5 BM 3.5 Trim 4 About 21% Resin 4 SoB 4 Dense 4 Finished Dry Weight 289.5 g or 10.33 oz. Plant #2 Wet trim 1606 g PS 3,5 BM 3.9 Trim 4 About 22% Resin 3 SoB 4.7 Dense 4.3 Finished Dry Weight- 302 g or 10.78 oz. Plant #3 Wet Trim 1635 g PS 3.7 BM 3 Trim 2.8 About 20% Resin 2.8 SoB 3.7 Dense 4.5 Finished Dry Weight- 314 g or 11.21 oz. Plant #4 Wet Trim 1753 g PS 2.5 BM 2.5 Trim 3 About 22% Resin 4 Falls off easily- Clumpy Dense 2.5 Final Dry Weight- 343.5 g or 12.26 oz. Plant #5- Wet Trim 1787 g PS 3.5 BM 3.7 Trim 3 About 24% Resin 2.5 Dense 2.5 Finished Dry Weight- 355.5 g or 12.69 oz. The taste is sweet and smooth to go down with a nice balanced buzz. There was some pests around. I found thrips damage in veg and got some Spinosad to take care of that. Saw some fungus gnats around but they didn't do much damage. Easy to grow and trim. This is a recommended strain. Chuck.

Still fattening up. Really impressed for only a 20L pot and a plant covering almost 5ft x 5ft

Hey growmies, It’s been a while since my last update on the beautiful Frosty Tooth growing in my Minigrow One grow box. The reason for the delay? Growing in the Minigrow One is so smooth that I, as the grower, almost feel unemployed! Of course, I water her daily, but the highlight of my day is pouring the Plagron Alga Bloom into the watering can without spilling a drop 😂. As you can see, the plant remains beautifully compact and low – all without any help or LST! The lighting in the Minigrow does a fantastic job of keeping her wide and low. This week, I removed some of the large fan leaves at the bottom to make room, as there’s quite a bit happening under the canopy 😉. The side branches are developing wonderfully: low, sturdy, and perfectly balanced with the main cola. Over the next few days, I’ll remove another set of fan leaves, but for now, it’s really just a matter of sitting back and enjoying the view. Frosty Tooth is a beauty: healthy, with vibrant green, large, and strong leaves. I can’t wait to see the first “frosty” buds this lady will undoubtedly deliver! In terms of nutrients, she’s getting a daily mix of Sugar Royal, Alga Bloom, and Power Buds. Power Buds, in particular, worked wonders during my previous grows, producing dense, trichome-rich buds. I’m incredibly happy with Plagron’s organic nutrient line – it’s been absolutely spot-on. That’s it for now! Next time, I hope to show you the first buds forming. The Minigrow switched to the flowering phase yesterday. I extended the vegetative phase a couple of times to give her a bit more time, but now the moment has finally arrived ✌️🍀.

Posledni dva dny liju jen vodu. Do tydne sekam, uz ji nechci trapit.

Sure are stinking the place up now ! Unbelievable. Still maturing nicely buds arnt supper tight on one on the left the right side is looking better. But still a week or so yet I would say one will be done a week or so before the other also. All in all things are looking good.

Leave's edges have turned yellow and it was fed with a good amount of 6.5 ph water to give her a break. Watered for second time this week with just 6.5 ph water.

coming along nicely, this one did not like the low temps. I found 1 bud with some rot on it, cut that out. NO PWM thanks to the foliar sprays of Si. Buds did not grow much from last week to this one due to cold temps. This is an indoor strain here or its going to need to be crossed with something that likes the cooler fall temps.

Devo dire che queste FF mi hanno sorpreso, la Purple Lemonade di Fast Buds si è rivelata un ottima genetica con una crescita rapida ed una resistenza allo stress elevata, il super soil di Dogma Organics mi ha veramente aiutato questa volta e sono stato ricambiato con dei boccioli dal profumo eccezionale e che cercherò di curare nel migliore dei modi!!! Penso che pianterò ancora molto presto queste Fast Flowering e preleverò qualche altro clone!!!

Bonjours à tous, nous entamons les deux dernières semaines de rinçage pour ces dames. La gorilla sherbet 1 a été récolter.
