💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 10 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B 🌸 Let Her Do Her Thing Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter inside Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱 If you've been following this project, you'll know that the last few weeks have been full of action. Long vegetative growth. Aggressive stretching. SCROG training. A second SCROG. Major defoliation. Moving the ventilation system. Raising the LEDs. Improving airflow. Adjusting the nutrition. We certainly haven't been standing around doing nothing. 😂 But this week? We're doing something very different. We're watching. And honestly... when I look at Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B right now, I don't think she needs me doing much else. 🌿 PHENO B – LET HER DO HER THING Pheno B is looking absolutely beautiful. She's sitting at approximately 145 cm and has developed a fantastic flowering structure after the work we carried out over the previous weeks. And this is where I think patience becomes one of the most important tools a grower has. We made the big interventions. We opened the canopy. We removed unnecessary congestion. We added the second SCROG. We created more vertical space. We improved the airflow. We gave the branches additional support. Now the plant needs time to respond. There is no point constantly changing things simply because we feel like we should be doing something. Sometimes... the best intervention is no intervention. 😂💙 So this week, we're letting Pheno B recover, settle into her new structure, and continue putting her energy into flowering. And she's doing a beautiful job of it. 🌸 THE RESULTS OF THE PREVIOUS WEEKS One of the most satisfying things about this week is being able to look back at the work we performed earlier and actually see the results. The heavy defoliation dramatically changed the structure of the plant. At the time, it was a big decision. The canopy had become extremely dense, and we needed to create more space between the branches and flowering sites. But the goal was never simply to remove leaves. The goal was to make the plant more manageable. Now we're seeing the benefit. The structure is much easier to read. The flowering sites are more visible. Air can move through the plant more freely. The branches have room to develop. And Pheno B doesn't look like she's missing the foliage we removed. She's simply continuing forward. That's exactly what we wanted. 🌿 This is one of those moments where you have to trust the work you did several weeks earlier. You can't rush this part. You just watch. 💡 INTRODUCING LUMIFLORA UNDER-CANOPY LIGHTING There is, however, one new addition to the ecosystem this week. The **LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light** is now officially part of the experiment. And with Pheno B's size, I think the timing makes perfect sense. The main LEDs are doing an excellent job illuminating the upper canopy. But these plants have developed so much vertical structure that the lower portions naturally receive considerably less direct light. That's simply the nature of a large, dense flowering plant. So instead of continuing to remove more foliage simply to chase light penetration, we're trying another approach. We're bringing some light to the lower canopy. The LumiFlora is a **150W full-spectrum fixture**, with additional red emphasis, and we're positioning it underneath the canopy as supplemental lighting. The main fixtures remain responsible for the primary light source. The LumiFlora is there to complement them. I'm particularly interested in watching how the lower flowering sites develop now that they're receiving additional supplemental light from underneath. This isn't about replacing the overhead lighting. It's about giving the lower part of this very large plant another opportunity to receive useful light. And now... we watch. 💡🌱🌸 🕸️ THE SECOND SCROG IS DOING ITS JOB The second SCROG is another part of the setup that I'm very happy with. Pheno B has a lot of vertical growth, and as the flowers continue to develop and gain weight, having that additional support becomes increasingly valuable. The first SCROG helped us organize the plant. The second SCROG is now helping support the flowering structure. It's a simple concept, but with plants this size, that additional layer of support makes a huge difference. We're no longer trying to force the plant into a particular shape. We're simply giving the branches somewhere to rest and something to support them as they develop. And that's exactly where I want to be at this stage. 🌬️ AIRFLOW – KEEPING THINGS MOVING The airflow system is also staying exactly where it is. We've got airflow working above and below the canopy, helping keep the entire structure moving. That's particularly important now that we've introduced supplemental lighting underneath the plants. The goal is to keep the lower canopy from becoming stagnant while maintaining good circulation throughout the upper flowering structure. Again... nothing dramatic. Nothing complicated. Just consistent airflow and a stable environment. And that's another reason why I'm not changing much this week. The system is working. So let it work. NUTRITION – NO NEED TO CHASE NUMBERS The feeding program remains consistent as well. The girls are continuing with the PLAGRON Hydro program: PLAGRON Hydro A — 2.2 ml/L PLAGRON Hydro B — 2.2 ml/L 🌱 PLAGRON Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L 🌸 PLAGRON Power Buds — 1 ml/L pH adjusted as required The plants are responding beautifully, so there is no reason to start changing things just for the sake of changing them. They're growing. They're flowering. They're drinking. They're healthy. So we continue. That's the approach now. Consistency. Observation. Adjustment only when the plants actually ask for it. 🌸 THIS WEEK IS ABOUT PATIENCE If I had to describe this week's update in one word, it would probably be: Patience. 😂💙 We've done so much over the previous weeks that it's tempting to keep doing more. But the plants don't necessarily need more intervention. They need time. Time to recover from the defoliation. Time to settle into the second SCROG. Time to continue flowering. Time to respond to the new lighting arrangement. And time to show us what all the previous work has accomplished. That's what we're doing now. We're watching. 🌿 PHENO B IS SHOWING US THE RESULTS Looking at Pheno B today, I can see the results of the entire process. The long vegetative period gave her the structure. The first SCROG organized the growth. The flowering stretch tested the limits of the room. The defoliation opened everything up. The second SCROG gave the branches support. The ventilation changes created more vertical space. The additional fan improved circulation. And now the LumiFlora is providing supplemental light underneath the canopy. It's almost like we're finally reaching the point where all those individual decisions are becoming one complete system. And Pheno B is right in the middle of it. 🌸 She's not asking for another big intervention. She's asking for time. So that's exactly what she's getting. 🌡️ CURRENT GROW CONDITIONS 🌸 Flowering: Week 10 📏 Height: approximately 145 cm 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 ☀️ Day temperature: 27°C 🌙 Night temperature: 27°C 💧 Relative humidity: 61% ⚗️ pH: 6.01 ⚡ EC: approximately 2.49 mS/cm 🌡️ Solution temperature: 26°C 🌱 Substrate temperature: 24°C 🌬️ CO₂: approximately 666 ppm 💦 Watering: approximately 1.6 L per plant / 24h ? Pot size: 8 L 💡 LumiFlora Under-Canopy: 150W Full Spectrum 🔬 SAME ROOM. DIFFERENT PERSONALITY. This is one of the things I love most about Project Blue Tent. Pheno B is sharing the exact same environment as her sisters. Same room. Same lighting. Same irrigation. Same nutrition. Same environmental targets. Same cultivation philosophy. And yet... she is still Pheno B. She has her own structure. Her own rhythm. Her own way of filling the space. That's exactly why we're documenting these plants individually. We don't just want to know how Blue Waffle F1 performs. We want to see how each individual phenotype expresses herself under the same conditions. And Pheno B is giving us a very interesting chapter. 🌸 FROM GROWING TO FINISHING We're now moving further away from the training phase and deeper into the finishing phase. The structure has been established. The canopy has been managed. The support system is in place. The environment is stable. The nutrition is consistent. The airflow is moving. And now the flowers get to become the main story. That's why I'm deliberately resisting the temptation to keep changing things. We've already done the work. Now it's time to see what the plant does with it. 💡 The LumiFlora gives us one new variable to observe. Everything else? We're keeping steady. Because sometimes the best experiment is knowing when to stop experimenting. 😂💙 🔭 LOOKING AHEAD Over the next few weeks, I'll be watching Pheno B closely. I'm particularly interested in: 🌸 Flower development throughout the canopy 💡 Response of the lower flowering sites to the LumiFlora 🌿 How the plant continues recovering from the defoliation 🕸️ How the second SCROG supports the developing flowers 🌬️ How the airflow performs through the mature canopy How the plants continue responding to the current nutrition But no major interventions are planned. The plant looks happy. The environment is stable. The structure is where we want it. So now... we let her work. 🌸💙🌿 🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU A huge thank you once again to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible and for giving us the opportunity to explore these Blue Waffle F1 phenotypes individually. Thank you to PLAGRON for the Hydro nutrient line and for supporting these girls throughout this vigorous cycle. A massive thank you to Mars Hydro for the irrigation and drainage system that keeps the ecosystem running smoothly. Thank you to LumiFlora for the 150W full-spectrum under-canopy light, which we're now introducing into the experiment and watching closely as the plants enter this important flowering stage. And of course, thank you to GrowDiaries for giving us the platform to document the entire journey. Most importantly, thank you to everyone following Project Blue Tent. We've spent weeks training these plants. We've managed the stretch. We've opened the canopy. We've added support. We've reorganized the room. We've improved the airflow. And now... we finally get to watch the results. 💙🌸 Pheno B doesn't need us to keep pushing her. She doesn't need another dramatic intervention. She needs time. So that's what we're giving her. Time to recover. Time to flower. Time to develop. And time to show us what she can do. Until next week... More flowers. More observation. Less interference. And hopefully... a whole lot more Blue Waffle F1 magic. 💙🌸🌿 Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙

Everything is going like it should be)

This is the only plant I’ve seen with so many pistils like that, I really think she’s gunna yield like crazy, looking forward to beautiful flowers!

Another week closer..... Well another week down, the girls are doing there job and pushing out like crazy, the room is smelling great, and a couple of them are beyond frosty... No problems this week, besides finding a banana on one of my girls, I've noticed it happens sometimes when pushing them. I've pulled it out and checked the rest of the plant its good....and at this point it doesn't bother me, to late in the budding cycle to harm the plants...... The girls are starting to come to an end and going through there changes in bud structure and in leaf change, there smelling great and getting frosty. ..Nothing else to report. Until next week, smoke a fatty, help out your fellow grower.

The first week of flowering is here, and things are finally looking much better! Both plants have recovered well and are now growing much healthier.🌱 #1 has already started stretching significantly, really picking up speed. It’s exciting to see how quickly it’s developing! Meanwhile. #2 spent about half the week still in vegetation, but towards the end, I finally spotted the first signs of flowering. Now that both are officially in bloom, I’m looking forward to seeing how they continue to develop over the next weeks. On to the next phase! 😊

I am starting to cure the first plant. Yield will be posted when every plant will be harvested.

Moving right along, tucked inside out of the weather for a couple days but back outside and happy now.

Not Sure whats going on with leafs...They start out yellow on edges and get worse always seems happen late flower...was thinking maybe lacking cal-mag..It's not a ph issue...Might try to up cal mag ...not 100% sure what it is if anyone has any ideas please leave in comment (would appreciate any input) was also thinking might not be giving it enough potassium..This problem is only mid-late flower they start on edges and then gets worse and leafs get crispy...I skipped last week been busy around house staying locked up haha ..Hopefully everyone stays safe during this crazy time

Die fünfte Blütewoche hat begonnen. Das Höhenwachstum scheint nun endlich vorbei zu sein und die Pflanzen konzentrieren ihre Energie auf die Blüten. Ich hoffe sie kommen mit dem Abstand zur Lampe einigermaßen zurecht und bekommen keinen zu starken Lichtstress.

I am differentiating the ec between the plants , so please do not mind the feeding, 3 are flushed , the rest get 1300-1500 ec

During this first week of bloom, plant stretch less than i expect so maybe they can't fill the Space, but they look very healthy so i'm happy

Plants are growing really fast just giving water when soil dry. Decided to top the big bud auto seems to be growing really fast. Was only going to lst because this is my first indoor grow and don’t want to fuck it up hahah. Not much else going on this week. One of the northern lights is tiny but I have faith in it

Klon end medea 🔝😎

Day 72 (2020-07-20): Continuing flush of CBD Crack. G14 will start next watering most likely. Day 75 (2020-07-23): Started flush for G14. Day 77 (2020-07-25): Continuing flush for both plants. Checking trichomes daily. G14 looks right on schedule. Starting to think I might have started the CBD a week early (especially after getting a macro lens for my phone), but moving forward.

Girls looking real good so i decided to continue to lst and water them with ah regular feeding switch to flower some time later in the week once I see the branches have risen

One more week up wee go , and dude are they going hehehe , i had some life to my room and im giving the stretch times but asap i will apply deep and hard defoliation with should be enough until almost the end of cycle. And defoliation day came and with it a second net to help support future buds, i was gona go harder on them but lol im happy with the new haircut lol Gave them a strong full feeding with it and had some conditioner to my soil to help braking death mater and also gave them nome nematodes to fight fungus nets larvas and help control the life on my soil. For now thats all im doing , i will keep monitoring this fungus net and springtails etc that came with the time of the year and with the fact that im growing fully mineral organic .

Semana 4 floración

Week 3 Blossom Ballet: Cherry Cola's Floral Extravaganza Unleashed Greetings, fellow green enthusiasts! We've hit Week 3 in the enchanting flower journey of our beloved Cherry Cola Auto, and let me tell you, the botanical ballet within the tent is reaching an unprecedented crescendo. Our green queen is unleashing a floral extravaganza that's nothing short of spectacular. As we dive into the heart of Week 3, the tent is transformed into a vibrant canvas of blooming beauty. The once-lush bush has metamorphosed into a floral symphony, each bud site a note in a melodious composition. The topping technique deployed earlier is now revealing its full glory, with multiple colas reaching for the spotlight. The decision to release our Cherry Cola from training supports continues to pay dividends. She's embracing her freedom with a wild elegance, and the tent is now an immersive experience of green abundance. The bushy ballet is a testament to the success of our horticultural endeavors, creating a living masterpiece. The topping triumph from the previous weeks echoes in every corner of the tent. The colas have matured into regal structures, each vying for attention in this botanical drama. The decision to venture into topping during the vegetative phase has proven to be a stroke of genius, enhancing both yield potential and structural beauty. Ah, a crucial note in our nutrient symphony! I introduced Potassium (K) to our water mix, adding another layer of vitality to our Cherry Cola's performance. P-Boost's phosphorus prowess, coupled with Topbooster's organic grace, dances in harmony with the added Potassium, contributing to the formation of hefty buds and enhancing the overall flowering response. Visual euphoria reigns supreme as our Cherry Cola daily unfurls new growth, showcasing the sheer energy and vitality she possesses. It's not just a plant; it's a living canvas of horticultural artistry that leaves me in perpetual awe. As we wrap up Week 3, Cherry Cola Auto stands as a living testament to the joy and wonder of cultivation. The floral odyssey is far from over, and the tent is a stage for a botanical performance that promises to linger in our memories. Stay tuned, fellow enthusiasts, as the Cherry Cola Chronicles continue to unfold!
