No major growth spurts; it’s growing rather slowly. It actually gets enough light and is being fed properly. Perhaps the big growth spurt is still to come. The weather was mixed again.

Day 656: 800 ml + 4ml/l biogrow + 4ml/biobloom + 1ml /l bibloombastic Day 67: 800ml + 1ml /l bibloombastic Day 69: 1L + 2ml/atazyme + 2 ml/topcandy Flushing #3 at day 72, about 5-10% amber tricomes in the main cola. The rest of them gonna take at least 10 days more 😬

☆♡ Gorilla Cookies: I've noticed a leaf fell off the bottom. I think I may've overdone the nutes. She's growing tremendously. I top dressed with the below, as the rest of my plants. I will only use PH'd water for the next several waterings, probably with Biosys or seaweed. ♡☆ 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. 🤞 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; ♡ .8g Green Leaf Nutrients PK booster ♡ .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: ♡ Black strap molasses 150g ♡ 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 🤗 I watered 2ltrs of dechlorinated water per plant, PH'd to 6.4, containing the following nutrients: ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part A ♡ 1g Mega Crop Part B ♡ .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 😂 So anyway, I added the following amendments to the above base mix of 4.5 gallons; ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Life Cycle ♡ 3 TBSP Vitalink Bat Guano ♡ 3 TBSP Ecothrive Charge ♡ 1 TBSP RHS Mycorrhizal Fungi granules ♡ 6 TBSP Ground Cinnamon.

Diary Legend: 💧- Watered 🌱- Seedling 🌲- Cut Down 🍃- Defoliation ✂️- Topping or FIM'ING 🚂- Training (LST) 💩- Fertilized Wk4 11/17/21: Day 22. 🚂The plant had to be readjusted already, so I moved the staple further out, the keep the tip bent over. I will begin training of the lower branches very soon. Two bottom ones out to the back, along with the next row. That way it will be growing the opposite direction of the main colas, and allowing more branches to grow into bud. Deciding to train was a great idea, as the lower shoots had grown quite a bit since yesterday. With only 3 more weeks left before flowering, maintaining the plants shape should be easily achieved. Love the dark green colour of the leaves. While many would say there is too much nitrogen, I think it's just fine. No issues with the leaves, everything looks normal. 11/19/21: Day 24. 💧Plant is growing well, minus the distinct leaf burns on the tips. The soil is only holding a slightly higher ratio of nutrients, but it is now the full recommended dose. Overall it's still in quite good condition. One thing I love, is how I messed up the FIM, and allowed the two new shoots to grow, while somehow still having the center shoots still grow. Albeit it's a little smaller, as it look longer to sprout, but it's definitely there. Not sure if it's 3, or 4 shoots now. I will spread the two long ones out a little at first, but then I'll let them all grow out together, like a pronged spear. Watered the plant fairly thoroughly, as it was definitely asking for a drink. 11/21/21: Day 26. Plant is looking great. Lower branches are being tied back and out, to allow for an even spread. About another week of the main stem being trained, with the final week being allowed to grown out and up. I still want it it be the main cola, as it would be nice to see what the colas end up looking like. 11/23/21: Day 28. 💧After a bunch of fiddling around with an idea for the plant, I went back to how it was, using staples. I spread the new growth on the top colas, allowing more light to reach the middle shoot. Just a few more days before I let it start growing out more, and then flip over to flower. I will water the plants after dinner, as I forgot to yesterday, and up until just now (3:54pm). They were fine earlier, so it's nothing to be worried about.

Day 127. Chop day !!!! Zkittalicious #6 is my first plant without any airy or small bud !!!! Plus he will be like others in 100g range ... #2 should beat all single plant records ;))) Happy Growing !!!

Piante molto compatte con come ed infiorescenze molto dure,pesanti ed appiccicose e colorate! Facile da essiccare e resistente a muffe e parassite, buonissima al massimo tra le varietà kush penso sia la migliore! Effetto molto rilassante e duraturo. È semplicemente bellissima e colorata e buonissima, credo che ogni coltivatore deve avere questa perla colorata sempre!

Hung them to dry today, very happy to say I have found 3 very very good keeper phenos which doesn’t surprise me as I have grown many seeds of this before. The pictures and video tell more than words can say. I have named my favourite pheno ‘john wayne’ as I have a convoy swagger about my walk every time I look at her😂 I lost this pheno a few months ago and so relieved to have her back plus two other great phenos. Barneys absolutely provides some real fire genetics and I have been a fan since blue cheese and pineapple chunk were released many years ago.

Week 6 went pretty well, +30 during the day, +23 at night, a few yellowed leaves, next time I water her I will give her Espom salt so that she absorbs more magnesium, despite the high heat everything else looks good :) good luck to everyone.

Smells like blueberry for sure ,dense colas.shorter than most of my other plants.hopefully the bud more than makes up for the plant

You can already see that she’s slowly dying. I hope she’ll put all her remaining energy into her flowers in these final days. I’m going to dry her, but only because there’s a new method I want to try. You can now place the harvested buds into a special plastic bag immediately after harvest. These bags are designed to let water out while preserving the terpenes almost completely intact. One of the German grow shops selling these bags tested different samples in a lab, and the results seem to support their claims. If it works, great! If not and the harvest ends up molding, I don’t mind. 98% of the harvest will already have to be trashed due to the legal limit.

Day 71 Babes are doing amazing. #1 is significantly taller than #2, though #2 has an almost perfect canopy. Stripped the undergrowth on both. Flipping to flower Sept. 1st.

Greetings, fellow growers and cosmic adventurers! As we bid farewell to Week 10, we find ourselves at the culmination of an extraordinary journey with our beloved Apolo F1. Join me as we embark on a retrospective voyage through the highs and lows, the triumphs and challenges, of this cosmic odyssey. Our journey with Apolo F1 began ten weeks ago, a small seedling filled with potential and promise. From those humble beginnings, she grew and flourished under our watchful gaze, unfurling her leaves and reaching for the stars with each passing day. Through meticulous care and nurturing attention, we witnessed her transformation into a true botanical queen. Throughout her growth cycle, we employed various techniques to coax the best from our cosmic companion. From LST to topping, we shaped and sculpted her canopy, encouraging lateral growth and maximizing light penetration. As a result, Apolo F1 flourished, her branches reaching skyward in a testament to the power of cultivation and the wonders of nature. Central to Apolo F1's journey was the nourishment provided by Aptus Holland, our steadfast companion and sponsor. With their nutrient lineup, we crafted a symphony of minerals and organic compounds, tailored to her specific needs at each stage of growth. From seedling to harvest, Aptus Holland's nutrients fueled her cosmic voyage, ensuring robust health and abundant yields. And now, the moment we've all been waiting for: the harvest. With bated breath and eager hands, we carefully snipped each bud from the canopy, marveling at their dense, resinous beauty. Apolo F1 had exceeded our wildest expectations, her compact stature yielding a bounty of cosmic goodness. As she hangs upside-down, her buds curing in the cool darkness, we reflect on the journey that brought us here—a journey filled with wonder, growth, and boundless possibility. Before we bid adieu, let us extend heartfelt thanks to Royal Queen Seeds for crafting the genetic marvel that is Apolo F1. Their dedication to excellence has brought joy and inspiration to growers around the world, and we are grateful for their contributions to our green adventures. Likewise, a shoutout to Grow Diaries and the entire community for their unwavering support and camaraderie. Together, we have cultivated a garden of dreams, and the harvest is sweeter for it. As we gaze upon Apolo F1, our cosmic queen, we are filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. She is more than just a plant—she is a testament to the power of cultivation, the wonders of nature, and the boundless potential of the human spirit. Until we meet again, may your gardens flourish and your green adventures be ever cosmic.

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 13 🌿 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B 🌱 Same Genetics, Different Expression – A Beautiful Fade into Lighter Greens Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 My friends, we're back with another individual report, and this time it's all about our beautiful Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B! And honestly, what can I say? These girls are amazing! 😂💙 We've reached another interesting stage of flowering, and while all four plants are sharing the same environment, the same reservoir, the same irrigation system, and the same general cultivation approach, each one continues to show us her own individual characteristics. Last week, we talked about the beautiful development of our Blue Waffle F1 girls and the incredible details we've been capturing through photography and focus stacking. This week, we're continuing that journey. The room is moving towards the final stage of flowering. We're gradually reducing temperatures, lowering the nutrient concentrations, and beginning to decrease the output of the overhead LEDs. The two LumiFlora under-canopy fixtures remain part of the experiment, and the irrigation system continues supporting all four plants. But today, we're not simply repeating the room update. We're looking at what makes this particular girl different. Because even when plants share the same genetics, that doesn't mean they will express themselves in exactly the same way. And Pheno B is giving us a beautiful example of that. Her structure is a little different from her sister's. Her flower development has its own character, and her colours are moving more towards lighter shades of green rather than the more pronounced blues, purples, and reddish tones we've been admiring on Pheno A. She's still compact. She's still beautiful. And the aroma? Absolutely incredible! Let's take a closer look. 💙🌿 🌸 WEEK 13 – MOVING TOWARDS THE FINISH We're now in Week 13 of flowering, and the entire room is gradually moving towards the final stage of the journey. The major structural work has already been completed. The plants have been trained, topped, managed through the stretch, and supported with the SCROG system. The second layer of support remains in place, and the under-canopy lighting experiment continues. At this stage, we're concentrating on maintaining a stable environment and observing how each plant develops. We're not looking to make unnecessary structural changes just because another week has passed. Instead, we're watching the flowers, the changing foliage, the overall structure, and the characteristics each phenotype is expressing. And this is where things become particularly interesting. Pheno A and Pheno B share the same cultivar, but they aren't identical copies of one another. They have their own morphology, their own individual appearance, and their own way of progressing through flowering. Pheno B is now showing us a different side of Blue Waffle F1. And I'm really enjoying seeing those differences develop! 🌿 SAME GENETICS, DIFFERENT MORPHOLOGY One of the most interesting things about documenting individual plants is that it gives us the opportunity to observe differences that might otherwise be overlooked. Our two Blue Waffle F1 plants share the same cultivar, but each comes from a different seed. And although they share the same growing environment, their physical expression isn't identical. Pheno B has a different overall structure from her sister. The way her flowers are developing, the way the plant presents itself, and the colours she's expressing are all slightly different. We're still seeing that compact appearance, but the overall morphology isn't exactly the same. It's a reminder that a cultivar name doesn't guarantee that every individual plant will look identical throughout its life cycle. Genetics provide the potential for particular characteristics, but individual plants can express that potential differently. Environmental conditions can also influence how plants develop, so we shouldn't automatically attribute every difference to genetics alone. And that's precisely why we document these plants separately. We're not trying to force them into the same description. We're observing what each one actually shows us. Pheno A has her own personality. Pheno B has hers. And both deserve their own spotlight! 💙🌱 🌱 A DIFFERENT STRUCTURE, BUT STILL BEAUTIFULLY COMPACT Let's talk about the structure of this girl. Pheno B remains compact and beautifully developed, but when I compare her with Pheno A, I can see differences in the way the plants have expressed themselves. The overall morphology is slightly different, and the flower formation isn't quite the same. It's difficult to say exactly why those differences have developed. It could be down to individual genetic expression, environmental influences, or a combination of factors. Even though the plants share the same tent, they don't necessarily experience every condition in precisely the same way at every point across the canopy. Light distribution, local airflow, and individual plant characteristics can all contribute to differences in development. However, we don't have enough evidence to identify one specific cause here. And that's perfectly fine. We're documenting the observations rather than inventing an explanation. What matters is that Pheno B has developed her own structure, and we're now able to appreciate that individual expression as flowering progresses. She's looking beautiful, and I'm happy with what we're seeing. 🌸 FLOWER FORMATION – HER OWN WAY OF DOING THINGS The flower formation is another area where I notice differences between the sisters. Although both plants remain compact and are progressing through the same general flowering stage, their flowers don't present themselves in exactly the same way. Pheno B has her own pattern of development, and this is something I'm particularly interested in following as we move closer to the finish. Was it something about the environment? Was it simply the individual expression of this plant? Could it be a combination of factors? At this point, I can't give you a definitive answer. And I don't want to pretend otherwise. Sometimes, when we're growing several plants together, we see differences that are easy to observe but much harder to explain with certainty. That's part of the learning process. We record what we see, compare the plants, and continue observing as they mature. The important thing is that Pheno B is developing beautifully, and her individual characteristics are becoming increasingly clear. Her sister might be showing a more colourful expression, but Pheno B has her own charm. And that's exactly why I love keeping separate phenotype diaries. 🌿🌈 THE COLOURS – A DIFFERENT KIND OF BEAUTY Now, this is where Pheno B really separates herself from her sister. While Pheno A has been showing us a more pronounced mixture of blues, purples, reddish tones, and greens, Pheno B is moving towards lighter shades of green. Her fade is different. It's less about those strong contrasting colours and more about the changing green tones we're seeing throughout the plant. And honestly, my friends, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! 😂💚 Not every plant needs to develop the same colours to be beautiful. Different phenotypes can express different pigmentation patterns, even when they share the same cultivar. Genetics can influence those characteristics, while environmental conditions and the stage of maturity can also play a role. We're seeing Pheno B move towards a lighter, greener appearance as she progresses through flowering. That's what the plant is showing us, and that's what we're documenting. I'm not going to claim that the cooler temperatures alone caused this particular fade, because we can't establish that from our observations. Instead, we'll continue watching her colours develop alongside the other signs of maturity. And I have to say, I really like seeing the contrast between the two sisters. One is showing a more colourful palette. The other is expressing herself through lighter greens. Same cultivar. Same room. Different individual expression. That's what makes this comparison so interesting! 💙🌿 ❄️ COMPACT FLOWERS AND PLENTY OF DETAILS TO OBSERVE Despite the differences in colour and structure, Pheno B remains compact and attractive. The photographs give us a closer look at her flowering sites and the details developing across the plant. And this is another reason I enjoy documenting each phenotype individually. When we look at the whole tent, it's easy to concentrate on the general appearance of the canopy. But once we start looking at individual plants, we can appreciate their particular characteristics much more clearly. The flower structure. The arrangement of the flowering sites. The way the plant presents its foliage. The changing colours. And the small differences that make one phenotype distinct from another. We're continuing to observe the flowers and the developing trichomes as the plant progresses. The pistils are also changing as flowering advances, but their appearance alone doesn't tell us everything about maturity. We'll keep looking at the overall development rather than relying on a single visual indicator. For now, Pheno B is looking beautiful, and I'm excited to continue documenting her progress. 📸 PHOTO STACKING – LOOKING CLOSER AT THE DETAILS Photography remains an important part of Project Blue Tent. This week, we've continued capturing photographs of the plants and documenting the flowering sites through close-ups and focus stacking. As many of you already know, focus stacking combines multiple images captured at different focus distances to create a final photograph with greater depth of field. It's a fantastic technique for showing intricate details that can be difficult to capture in a single frame. The process also takes time. We need to set up the camera, choose the composition, capture the individual frames, and then process the stack. And when we're working inside the grow room rather than in a dedicated studio, we have to work with the conditions available to us. But that's part of the process, too. The aim is to document the plants as accurately and clearly as possible, while giving everyone following the diary a closer look at what we're seeing. For Pheno B, these photographs help us appreciate her individual flower formation and the differences between her and her sister. They're not just pictures for the sake of taking pictures. They're part of the record of this grow. And I genuinely enjoy sharing that process with the community. 📸💙 🌡️ THE SHARED ROOM – LOWER TEMPERATURES FOR THE FINAL STAGE Now let's return to the wider environment, because everything we've been doing in the room applies to Pheno B as well. We're gradually lowering both daytime and nighttime temperatures as we move towards the final stage of flowering. The current daytime air temperature is approximately 25°C. During the night, when the plants are resting, the temperature drops to around 19–20°C. We've also brought the solution temperature and substrate temperature down to approximately 21°C. These adjustments are part of our approach to the finishing stage. We're interested in observing how the plants respond as the environment changes and how their natural characteristics develop over time. Cooler conditions can influence colour expression in some cultivars, but the response depends on the genetics and the overall environment. We're not assuming that every plant will respond in the same way. And Pheno B is a perfect example of why individual observation matters. Despite sharing the same room with Pheno A, she's expressing a different colour pattern. We'll continue watching both plants and documenting what happens as they approach the finish. 💧 HUMIDITY – UNDERSTANDING THE READINGS Our normal relative humidity is approximately 55%. You may notice that some photographs show higher readings, particularly when I'm working inside the tent. When I'm moving around, taking photographs, checking equipment, and breathing inside the room, the humidity can rise temporarily. Even with the air conditioning running, the readings can change while I'm working. That's why it's important to distinguish between a temporary measurement during maintenance and the normal operating conditions we're aiming to maintain. For this report, we're recording approximately 55% relative humidity under normal room conditions. The aim is to keep the environment stable while monitoring the plants throughout this stage. 🌱 NUTRITION – LOWERING HYDRO A AND B We've also started reducing the nutritional concentration as the plants move towards the final stage. The new recorded recipe is: PLAGRON Hydro A – 1.8 ml/L PLAGRON Hydro B – 1.8 ml/L PLAGRON Power Buds – 1 ml/L PLAGRON pH Plus – as required PLAGRON pH Minus – as required The recorded pH is approximately 5.96, while the EC is around 1.86 mS/cm. By reducing Hydro A and Hydro B, we've also reduced the overall nutrient concentration, which is reflected in the lower EC and TDS readings. The pH can also shift as the composition of the solution changes, although its response isn't always predictable. Our target is to keep the pH close to 6, allowing for small variations above or below that point. As long as the reading remains within our intended range, we avoid unnecessary adjustments. We're not chasing a perfectly fixed number every minute. We're observing the solution, keeping the system stable, and making changes when there's a reason to do so. The same nutritional program is being used across the shared reservoir, so Pheno B is receiving the same general solution as her sister and the two Pickle Lemon Haze F1 plants. Keeping this consistent also helps us compare the plants without introducing unnecessary differences in the feeding program. 💡 LIGHTING – REDUCING THE OVERHEAD POWER GRADUALLY The overhead LED output is now approximately 90%. From here, we're planning to reduce the output gradually, by around one or two percentage points per day, as we move closer to the end. We're not switching everything off or making a sudden change. We're taking a gradual approach while observing the plants and maintaining the overall environmental balance. The goal is to keep the lighting appropriate for this stage rather than simply running the equipment at maximum power. Light intensity, temperature, humidity, and plant response all need to be considered together. And that brings us to another interesting part of the project. 💡 TWO LUMIFLORA FIXTURES – LIGHT FROM BELOW The two LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum under-canopy fixtures remain in place beneath the canopy, arranged in an X-cross configuration. We're keeping their output around 90–95% for now, with the possibility of reducing it closer to the finish. The overhead LEDs provide the main lighting, while the under-canopy fixtures supplement the lower portions of the plants. We're interested in observing how the lower flowering sites develop under this arrangement. One of our goals is to see whether this lighting balance helps the flowers across different parts of the plant progress more uniformly. However, we won't assume that the additional lighting automatically produces that result. We'll continue monitoring the plants and documenting what we see. The lighting arrangement is part of the experiment, and the individual phenotype reports allow us to keep track of the differences between the plants as they develop. 💧 IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE – THE SYSTEM CONTINUES WORKING The automatic irrigation and drainage system remains an important part of the Project Blue Tent ecosystem. All four plants share the same reservoir, and the system helps us maintain consistency throughout the room. The recorded watering volume is approximately 1.6 litres per plant per 24 hours. As always, the actual water requirements of an individual plant can depend on its development and the conditions around it, so we continue observing the system rather than assuming that every plant necessarily uses water at exactly the same rate. The aim is to keep everything working smoothly while we concentrate on the plants themselves. And that's one of the advantages of having an established system. When the equipment is operating as expected, we can focus on observing, photographing, and documenting the plants without making unnecessary changes. 🌿 FOUR PLANTS, TWO CULTIVARS, ONE SHARED ENVIRONMENT This is one of the most interesting parts of Project Blue Tent. We have four plants sharing the same room, representing two cultivars: Blue Waffle F1 and Pickle Lemon Haze F1. They share the same general environment, the same reservoir, and the same lighting setup. Yet each plant has her own characteristics. And when we compare Blue Waffle F1 Pheno A with Pheno B, those differences become particularly interesting. Pheno A is showing more pronounced blues, purples, reddish tones, and contrasting colours. Pheno B is moving towards lighter greens. Their structures are also slightly different, and the flower formation isn't identical. At the same time, both remain compact, both are progressing through flowering, and both are producing an aroma that I absolutely love. The similarities are just as interesting as the differences. Their shared genetics provide a starting point for comparison, but they don't mean that every characteristic will be expressed identically. That's why these individual diaries are so valuable. We're not trying to make the plants look the same on paper. We're recording what makes each one unique. And I'm really enjoying seeing these differences emerge as the girls approach the finish. 👃 THE AROMA – INCREDIBLE, AND VERY SIMILAR TO HER SISTER Now, one thing that seems remarkably similar between the two Blue Waffle F1 girls is the aroma. The whole room smells amazing! 😂🌸 Despite their differences in structure and colour, the aroma coming from these plants is very similar, and it's becoming increasingly noticeable as flowering progresses. It's another interesting point of comparison. Their visual expression differs, but the overall aromatic impression is remarkably alike. I'm not going to assign a detailed terpene profile or invent specific aroma notes that we haven't documented. For now, what I can say is that the smell is strong, beautiful, and very similar between the sisters. And honestly, it's one of those things that makes spending time in the room such an enjoyable experience. The photographs can show us their colours and structure. The video can give you a closer look at the garden. But the aroma? You'll have to take my word for it! 😂💙🌿 🔭 WHAT I'M WATCHING NEXT As we continue towards the end of flowering, I'll be paying particular attention to Pheno B's changing colours and overall development. I'm interested in seeing how her lighter green fade progresses. I'll continue observing the flower structure and the developing trichomes, alongside the overall condition of the plant. I'll also keep comparing her with Pheno A, because their differences are becoming an increasingly interesting part of this project. We're maintaining the same general environmental approach across the room, gradually reducing the overhead LED output, keeping the under-canopy fixtures in place, and lowering the nutrient concentrations. Now we give the plants time to respond. There's no need to rush to a conclusion or assume that the sisters will finish in exactly the same way. We'll keep observing, photographing, and documenting their individual journeys. And that's what this project has always been about. 💙 FINAL THOUGHTS – DIFFERENT EXPRESSION, EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL My friends, Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B is looking beautiful. She's compact, she's developing her own flower structure, and she's moving towards a lighter green expression as flowering progresses. Her sister has been showing us more pronounced blues, purples, and reddish tones, while Pheno B is taking a different visual path. And I love that. We have the same cultivar, the same shared environment, and the same general cultivation approach, yet the individual plants aren't expressing themselves identically. It's a great reminder that growing is about observing what actually happens rather than expecting every plant to follow exactly the same pattern. We can make comparisons. We can record measurements. We can photograph the differences. But we should also be honest when we don't know exactly why a particular characteristic has developed. That's part of learning. And it's one of the reasons I enjoy documenting the entire journey, including the weeks when the changes are subtle rather than dramatic. The room is gradually getting cooler. The solution and substrate temperatures are around 21°C. The nutrient concentrations have been reduced. The overhead LED output is now around 90%, with gradual reductions planned. The under-canopy lights remain part of the experiment. And the irrigation system continues supporting all four plants. Meanwhile, Pheno B is showing us her own beautiful expression of Blue Waffle F1. Different structure. Different colours. Very similar aroma. And a beautiful plant continuing towards the finish. I'm genuinely happy with what we're seeing. Let's keep observing, keep learning, and see what the next chapter brings! 🌿💙🌈 💬 COME JOIN THE DOGDOCTOROFFICIAL DISCORD COMMUNITY! Before we wrap things up, I want to invite everyone to join our Discord community. If you're already a member, you know how much fun we have together. And if you're new, you're more than welcome!

We'd love to see you there! 🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and giving us the opportunity to document these beautiful Blue Waffle F1 and Pickle Lemon Haze F1 plants. Thank you to PLAGRON for the Hydro nutrient line supporting the girls throughout this journey. A massive thank you to Zamnesia for the Phytonaut LED lighting, curved scissors, and clip fans that have become important parts of this ecosystem. Thank you to Mars Hydro for the irrigation and drainage equipment helping us maintain consistency throughout the room. And a special thank you to LumiFlora for the 150W full-spectrum under-canopy fixtures that we're using to explore supplemental lighting beneath the canopy. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document the journey, share the photographs, compare the plants, and record what we learn along the way. And, of course, thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent! Your support and your comments make these diaries even more enjoyable to put together. We're continuing to observe, experiment, photograph, and learn, one week at a time. Until next week, my friends... More flowers. More observations. More photographs. More learning. And hopefully, even more beautiful details to share with you. Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙🌸

It's been a beautiful plant to grow, I thought she was gonna be a little bigger, however she has produced an amazing quality flowers, very sticky, terpy and stinky, the citric aroma it's absolutely wonderful just because of that I could grow her again and again. You definitely need to try this strain if you lovd weed.💚🌱🤤

Bud forming so fast!!!!!! Comparing to previous plants I growth in witch I used biobizz light soil I changed kind of soil in this one I’m using canna professional and the different is quite noticeable I’m really satisfied. I was worried that the small box I’m growing in would eventually make the plant suffer but it’s totally not, the plant is responding well!! Started with the maximum dose of bud ignitor by advanced nutrient. I’m really exited for this lady can’t wait to se the beautiful complete resinous buds.. keeping growing with LOVE 💚

These 2 are doing okay they are very bushy so a little tough to work with. I havnt defoliated one of them at all I'm just waiting til the strip day so I hope its not too uneven. Growth has been steady and everything is thriving right now. Might need to get a new dehumidifier soon mine is starting to shit the bed so RH levels are a little high with lights out but the heater keeps them low enough to get by at this point. Hope everyone is practicing their social distancing skills.

Welcome to my Tropicanna poison diary Genetics by: Sweet seeds Well, almost finished, i could harvest now, but imma wait for a bit more narcotic effect. The buds are covered in a thick layer of trichomes and resin, so much that the color of the bud is almost hidden under a silverish layer. I added a lot of pictures but pics are not so good this time. The combination of green sensation + terra aquatica's pro bloom (former general hydroponic ghe) has caused this severe looking lockout, but the buds are firm, next to rocksolid i think. Smell is intoxicatingly strong, going to check everyday from now on the trichs, dont want no more than 50%amber
