Hi Growers, Week three of flower is behind us and everything is still going according to plan. The plants got a bigger defoliation and they are doing great! The first favorites are already starting to stand out. The aroma is getting really strong, and judging by what the plants are showing so far, this definitely won't be the most discreet run when it comes to smell. A carbon filter will definitely be needed. The buds are only in week three and they are already super sticky. If they keep going at this pace, I'm going to need gloves just to open the tent in a few weeks. As planned, I pollinated one branch from each plant with Ridgelion pollen. He was a really great male, vigorous, strong, well-built and most importantly, very aromatic. I think combining Ridgelion with this OG/Chem/Sour terpene profile could make for a really interesting cross. On one side, you have that heavy gas and fuel, and on the other, sweet candy, citrus cream, sweet diesel, and funky notes from Ridgelion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Třetí týden květu je za námi a všechno zatím běží podle plánu. Rostliny dostaly větší defoliaci a jedou bomby! Už se mezi nimi začínají objevovat první favorité. Vůně začíná opravdu sílit a podle toho, co zatím rostliny ukazují, tohle rozhodně nebude úplně diskrétní run, co se týče smradu. Pachový filtr bude určitě potřeba. Palice jsou teprve ve třetím týdnu a už teď jsou super lepkavé. Jestli budou pokračovat tímhle tempem, tak za pár týdnů budu potřebovat rukavice i na otevření stanu. Jak jsem plánoval, z každé rostliny jsem opylil jednu větev pylem z Ridgelionu. Byl to opravdu super samec, vitální, silný, pěkně stavěný a hlavně hodně voňavý. Myslím, že spojení Ridgelionu s tímto OG/Chem/Sour terpene profilem by mohlo být opravdu zajímavé. Na jedné straně pořádný gas a fuel, na druhé sladké bonbóny, citrusový krém, sladký diesel a funky tóny Ridgelionu. Peace and happy growing! ✌️

This girl is bigger she has taken iver this corner of flowering tent just massive!! Think they slowing a little possibly as u can see some bud clusters starting to form. That also tells me she is ready for a hair cut to get that light in there more! They have a great strong kush smell when u do a stem rub but I don't smell anything at tent opening yet. They been getting heavy canna dose of nutrients for the steeach will see if they need another week of that dose if they chase the light again or if going to flower development now. Food every 2 days around 3 L till runoff at ph of 5.6-5.7. I like how the canna nutrients when ur in correct ph range it foams so u know ur getting close. I have really came to like the stuff. Great results compared to past soil grows. Nutrients being more ready for the plants like force feeding is way faster for growth. Like I mentioned will do hair cut over next week possibly start to see some more bud development over the next week also. Love yall.

Sorry for the late update. It's been a hectic week at home and I barely had time to do the basic work. Bit of a nightmare also. These Pinapple are flying along and probably have 2 mabey 2,1/2 weeks left until harvest. I'm now getting leaf damage on both plants despite keeping EC below 1.8 at all times. Really cant put my finger on it but I've decided just to let them run out and ill try and be more thorough on my next attempt with this strain. Really happy with them despite that and bud structure is looking really great.

Kind led lights have been raised, the X-420 is set at full spectrum with 25% UV/IR. Upon closer inspection of the garden, I’ve found a mite problem, probably from my stupidity. Traveling between outdoor garden and indoor garden doesn’t help. Everything has been treated with a mixture of water/neem oil / dish soap. I will continue this until eradicated. Growth rate is doing fantastic!

I Follow of my training method to stretch them bit flow preflowering look nice they got it and like it how it looks ... Watered with Delta 9.

Getting good temps and humidity , change the light to red and blues saw changes

Starting week 6 of flowering and she is looking beautiful. She is really starting to resin up and sparkle now causing her to be pretty stinky haha.

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 7 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If you're joining us for the first time, welcome aboard. Project Blue Tent follows four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia, each documented separately from seed all the way through harvest. All four sisters share the same environment, lighting, nutrition, irrigation and training techniques. The idea is simple: Keep the environment as consistent as possible and let the genetics tell the story. And despite all those similarities, each plant still manages to develop her own little personality. Today we're checking in with Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B. And if you've been following her journey... You might remember that this is the girl who had a rather unexpected visitor last week. 🐛 Don't worry. She's absolutely fine. In fact, judging by the way she's growing... She seems to have completely forgotten it ever happened. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Week Seven – The Canopy Is Ready This week feels like the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. For several weeks we've been building the canopy. Topping. Training. Guiding branches. Installing the SCROG. Tucking shoots underneath the net. Slowly filling every available space. And now... We've done it. The canopy is essentially where I want it. Plant B is sitting at approximately 60 cm, just like her sisters, with the SCROG keeping the plants at a remarkably even height. Looking from above, it's becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish one phenotype from another. That's actually one of the most fascinating things about this project. Four individual plants. Four individual diaries. And yet, under identical conditions, they're producing an incredibly uniform overall canopy. Plant B has once again filled her section beautifully. She's healthy, vigorous and absolutely covered in potential flowering sites. So now it's time for the final preparation before we flip. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ The SCROG Mission – Completed The SCROG has been one of the most important pieces of the puzzle during this vegetative cycle. Instead of allowing the plants to develop a few dominant vertical tops, we've spent weeks encouraging the branches to grow horizontally across the screen. Every time a shoot tried to escape upward, we'd gently guide it underneath the net and into the next available square. Slowly... The empty spaces disappeared. And eventually, the screen became one continuous canopy. That's exactly what we wanted. The purpose isn't simply to keep the plants at 60 cm. It's to distribute the growing tips across the available light and create a more uniform structure for flowering. And Plant B has handled the entire process beautifully. Now that the screen is full, however, our priorities are changing. We're no longer trying to add more foliage. We're preparing the foliage we already have. ──────────────────────── ✂️ Defoliation – The Final Vegetative Cleanup This week's main event is defoliation. And this is an important distinction: Defoliation isn't about removing leaves because they look ugly. It's not about trying to make the plant look "clean." And it's certainly not about stripping every leaf from the plant. Leaves are the plant's solar panels. They're valuable. So the objective is selective removal, not destruction. After several weeks of vigorous vegetative growth and SCROG training, the interior of the canopy has become extremely dense. There are leaves overlapping one another. Branches crossing through crowded areas. And sections of the plant where airflow and light penetration can be improved simply by removing some unnecessary foliage. That's what we're addressing now. We're opening the plant. Creating breathing room. Improving visibility. And preparing the structure for the much denser environment that flowering will bring. ──────────────────────── 🌬️ Why Do This Before Flower? This timing is very deliberate. Defoliation is a form of stress. Even when performed correctly, removing a substantial amount of foliage temporarily forces the plant to adjust to a new balance between its leaves, roots and active growing points. So I want that recovery to happen before flowering begins. We're still running an 18/6 vegetative schedule. The plants are actively growing. They have time to recover. And we're not simultaneously asking them to transition into a completely different developmental phase. Once flowering begins, I want the plant's attention moving toward flower development rather than recovering from major structural work. So we're following a very simple sequence: Build the canopy. Fill the screen. Defoliate. Recover. Flip. One step at a time. ──────────────────────── 🧠 What Defoliation Actually Achieves There's a common misconception that removing leaves automatically means more light equals more growth. It's not quite that simple. The reason we're doing this is to improve the overall efficiency of the canopy. We're trying to create a better relationship between: 🌱 Growing sites 💡 Light penetration 🌬️ Air movement 🍃 Leaf density ? Plant structure The upper canopy is already receiving plenty of light. What concerns me more is what happens underneath it. A dense interior can become a maze of overlapping leaves and branches. By selectively removing some of that congestion now, we're creating a more open structure before the flowers begin developing. And that's particularly valuable inside a compact tent where four vigorous plants are sharing the same space. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant B – The Girl Who Bounced Back And then there's Plant B. The survivor of the infamous caterpillar incident. 😂🐛 Last week she had a tiny visitor arrive from the outside vegetable garden and apparently decided that one of her leaves would make an excellent snack. Fortunately, the entire event was almost comically uneventful. The caterpillar was found. It was removed. The affected area was cleaned up. The entire tent was inspected. And Plant B simply continued growing. No meaningful setback. No visible stress. No drama. If anything... She seems to have responded by growing even harder. Her foliage is now rich, healthy green from top to bottom. The new growth is vigorous. The branches remain strong and flexible. And the canopy has continued expanding exactly as planned. So I think it's safe to say: Plant B won that battle. The caterpillar got one meal. Plant B got another week of growth. I'd call that a draw. 😂 ──────────────────────── 💧 Drip Irrigation – Doing Its Job The Mars Hydro drip irrigation and automatic drainage system continues to impress me. Each plant is currently receiving approximately 1.2 litres of nutrient solution per 24 hours, delivered consistently through the individual drippers. The runoff is then collected and removed through the automatic drainage system. That consistency has become particularly valuable now that the plants are getting larger and the root systems are becoming increasingly demanding. Instead of manually trying to reproduce the same watering pattern every day, the system gives the plants a predictable routine. And the plants are clearly responding well to it. Healthy foliage. Strong growth. Stable development. It's one of those pieces of equipment that quietly does its job in the background... Which is exactly what I want from an irrigation system. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding Program The nutrient recipe remains completely unchanged this week. There is simply no reason to interfere with something that's working. Current feeding: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L Current EC: 1.92 mS/cm pH: 5.8 For now, I'm keeping the nutrition exactly where it is. The plants are showing excellent colour, vigorous growth and healthy structure. We may increase the nutritional strength next week depending on how they respond after this defoliation and as we move into flowering. But I prefer to make that decision based on the plants rather than simply increasing numbers because the calendar says we should. They'll tell me when they're hungry. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment The environmental conditions remain wonderfully stable. This week's average conditions were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 28°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 65% • 🥥 Substrate Temperature: 24°C • 💦 Nutrient Solution: 18°C • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.92 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • 💧 Irrigation: approximately 1.2 L/plant/24h • ? Pot Size: 8 L • 📏 Plant Height: approximately 60 cm The consistency between the four plants is one of the things I appreciate most about this project. We're trying to remove as many environmental variables as possible so that when differences appear, we can look much more closely at the plants themselves. And right now... The similarities are remarkable. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Four Sisters, One Canopy This is perhaps the strangest part of the project at the moment. When I look across the Blue Tent from above, the four plants almost look like one giant organism. The canopy is extremely uniform. The colour is consistent. The height is consistent. The growth rate is remarkably similar. And the SCROG has done an excellent job of bringing everything together. Of course, if you look closely, you can still see the individual personalities. That's why these separate diaries exist. But from a distance? It's becoming increasingly difficult to tell who is who. And honestly... That's a beautiful result. It means the environment is doing exactly what we wanted it to do. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant B's Personality Plant B continues to be one of the more naturally cooperative plants in the tent. She's responsive to training. She's vigorous without becoming unruly. And she has developed an incredibly usable structure beneath the screen. Her branches have thickened nicely, her internodal spacing remains compact, and the new growth continues appearing with that healthy, vibrant colour I've been looking for. And perhaps most importantly... She doesn't seem to hold grudges. We topped her. We bent her. We tucked her. A caterpillar ate her. And now we're defoliating her. And she's still standing there saying: "Is that all you've got?" 😂🌱 That's Plant B. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead – Flower Is Coming After today's cleanup, the most important thing we can do is... Nothing. Let her recover. Let the new growth settle. Keep the environment stable. Keep the roots happy. And observe. This is where patience becomes just as important as technique. We've spent weeks building this plant. Now we need to give her the time to respond. If everything continues looking this good, the next major milestone will be the transition into flowering. The screen is full. The excess foliage has been cleaned up. The structure is ready. And the plants are healthy. We're almost there. Vegetative growth is coming to an end. The next chapter is going to be very different. 🌸 Flowering is next. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for providing these fantastic Blue Waffle F1 genetics. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for the Premium Growbags and Hydro nutrient line, which continue providing the plants with everything they need to maintain this beautiful growth. A special thank you to Mars Hydro for the drip irrigation and automatic drainage system. It has been performing wonderfully throughout this project and has made maintaining consistency inside the tent considerably easier. Thank you as well to Future of Grow for the UVC LED bar, which remains another tool within my preventative IPM routine. And of course, thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document, learn, exchange ideas and share these journeys. And finally... Thank you. For following. For commenting. For asking questions. For sharing your own experiences. And for simply being here. Plant B has already survived topping, SCROG training and a tiny caterpillar invasion. Now she's clean, healthy and ready for the next chapter. The canopy is full. The room is ready. The plants are ready. And soon... we flip the Blue Tent. 🌸💙 Until next week... Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

Steady progress this week. Her trichomes have put in an appearance this week! 😎 Still got a way to go yet.

Starting week 9 clean water from heat on out! Chop chop

60g secchi sono un gran punto di partenza. Questo è solo il primo esperimento con il nuovo soil è i prossimi verranno sicuramente ancora più produttivi. Per il primo esperimento posso dire che pellet e compost fanno un lavoro eccellente per la vegetativa e per fornire i microelementi di base che permettono alla pianta di svilupparsi in salute e velocemente. Però il terreno non contiene una fonte principale di potassio e fosforo e questo si è visto in fioritura. Fortunatamente essendo una pianta corta e rapida in maturazione è lo stesso riuscita ad andare discretamente. Se invece andate a controllare nel mio profilo la bruce banner vedete che come una pianta che richiede molto più cibo invece sia arrivata ad avere delle carenze. Nel prossimo esperimento cercherò di preparare un terreno più studiato e vedremo come andrà😇😇.

Best smoke I've had in years!!!!

This girl is stacking nicely looks like she's gonna need another round of defoliating starting to get sweet smell to her trichomes really starting to get heavy even covering fan leaves pistols starting to turn she drinks a gallon of water every other day gonna cut the nutes down in a week running 6.2 pH lights at 100 percent looks like adding the little bit of extra calmag worked cause she has no spots not a lot of burnt tips nice thick stalk and knuckles under canopy lighting is rocking as you can tell by the fat little colas at the bottom really loving this under canopy light so here's to another week of growing lfg

3/4- Last few weeks have went well. Not much to say besides she was chugging along and beefing up nicely. She has some pretty long colas and a good bunch of them. Thank you very much Seedsman for the opportunity. This is a beast of a plant, being in a 2 gallon pot and getting the size it has. She has a few weeks left still. She is getting overdrive now and will be flushed for the last two weeks. Will start to flush when her trichomes are all milky and most of the hairs have turned and shriveled. I will update as she progresses. Happy growing to everyone! 3/8- Everything is fattening up. Bud is solid, sticky and stinky. Has some huge long colas. Can't wait to see the total of all the plants. First 8 weeks of their lives, they were under the Mars hydro tsw 2000 and now they are under a new brand, Szchlux 400. It's kickass. Have it 3 1/2 feet above my plants and they are praying. Showing signs that they are getting some extreme photons It's a truly amazing light for the price. Can't wait to see how it does full cycle. Using it with the Mars hydro to cover the 4×8 room I built. It's more than I need for veg and will be great for flowering! Until next time happy growing to everyone!

She's actually not using as much water as I'm used to with other plants. I went a good week without watering her, and she didn't show any signs of needing more. So, after almost 10 days, I fertilized her again.

Ja wie auch bei der runtz, die zuckerblätter sind stark trichomen besetzt. Und hier hatte ich beim lollipoppen wie erwartet etwas mehr Arbeit. Ebenfalls habe ich hier ein paar kleinere untere doch kräftigen bads wegschneiden müssen. Da das Licht reinbringen, durch Sägeblätter entfernen super funktioniert hat, brauche dich auch gefühlt unten sehr rum sehr wenig wegnehmen. Mittlerweile hat man vom Geruch her eine doch würzige dumpfe Note die am Ende doch leicht fruchtig ausläuft. Ich bin weiterhin gespannt wie am Ende die was aussehen und wieder Geschmack sein wird. Und der Vergleich unter den beiden Pflanzen und Sorten ist sehr interessant und sehr schön im Video sichtbar. Auch hier haben die buds richtig viel Potenzial schön dick zu werden. Aber vom Gefühl her bis zum jetzigen drücken muss ich sagen, die werden minimal luftiger werden als die von der runtz.
