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

Growers Love, happy growing, and I'll see you all soon. 🌱💙

Looking good Las raices consiguieron un trenzado hermoso No sé si eso es normal pero está planta me sorprende y me sigue sorprendiendo

Wow, isn't this 1 dollar seed performing :P The force is strong in this one. If I had to complain, the buds have a lot of leaves, but hey, were not... What a joy to grow this strain, she is easy to grow and creates big buds, I hope she tastes like a Kush and we will be happy campers with this one. The lights were a bit too close to her, she really didn't enjoy that light and heat, so we raised them, and after that growth went exponential in the buds again. And this for two or three more weeks, depending on the trichomes which I like for a large part amber so add another week for this. I'm guessing 1st week of January that she can be harvested, we shall see! Don't forget to check out the Christmas deals at www.mars-hydro.com, if you are still in doubt, see in the lights page of the SP-3000, what the score is of this light and the results people have with it. Thank you for visiting my journal again! Hug Bud

New tops looking great and healthy the second nodes are coming in good also week 7 the black moonflower is next to the small autoflowers

All three doing extremely well, a little wind burn from wall fans, other than that crushing it eating everything on there pots, and producing dense, sticky, pungent Nugs. All is well!

These ladies are developing very nicely, the left and middle one already started to bulk heavily over the course of the last week, while the one that got wind stress is trailing a little behind and will probably take a little longer. For the other two I would guesstimate that I can start flushing by the end of the week. The trichomes on the two are completely milky, however with no signal of amber yet

Day 21 First week flora

Divine indica is growing great, and has been. She has been absorbing a lot of nutrition and water. She is starting to bulk now for sure. She has a nice layer of frost Starting as well. She is super happy, and growing strong. Makes me hesitant to really do anything. I don't want to disturb her harmony she has going right now. Thank you Spider Farmer, and Divine Seeds. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🌱🌱🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Ec 1.5 ph 5.8 lampada 30/40cm

I pistilli iniziano a colorarsi di arancione ed anche cime e foglie iniziano a prendere un po' di colore, per il momento la pianta con il top è la più colorata ed è bellissima, continuo con i fertilizzanti per sfruttare queste ultime settimane per recuperare un poco

Uiii ich habe es geschafft beide Grows vollständig hochzuladen auch wenn der erste lückenhaft und sehr früh ernten musste hat sich für diesen Grow schon rentiert.

This sweet seeds lady smells really good at this point. Some of the bigger fan leaves are starting to fade a bit so she must be starting to ripen up. I am finding the bud structure is not overly dense. It’s very foxtailish. But we will see if she fattens up as she swells up in her final weeks. 😎🍿🍻🌱

The girls look really nice, growing strong and fast, except 1, I’m growing 2 Alakazam from Seedmakers and 2 Tangerine Dream from Barney’s. T There’s one Alakazam that has presented problems since germination. Some of the leaves have yellow-brown dots, most of her root system is healthy, but it has some brown areas, it seems kinda weak overall, it’s the one that has grown more but the one showing problems. The other Alakazam and the 2 Tangerine Dream are looking really nice. Have been doing 50% nute strength feeding, adjusting ph level daily and showing them a lot of love. Should I do something different with the Alakazam or is it just a weak seed? Thanks!

🌿 RS11 "C" - Officially Taller Than Me! 🏙️🌲 Let's go! This RS11 is going completely crazy out on the balcony. Now with the pot included, she is officially taller than me! 🤯 The Run Down: Crazy Stretch: She is just reaching for the sky right now. The vertical stretch is unreal, but she's still building a thick main stalk to hold it all up. The internodal spacing is getting long as she races toward the sun. Pest Defense: You can still see the Biobest sachet hanging on her branch in the photos. Keeping those predatory bugs on duty just in case, because I definitely don't want any of that indoor tent drama happening out here. 🛡️ Looking Lush: The fan leaves are massive, rocking a super dark, healthy green, and praying hard. No signs of deficiencies at all; she is loving whatever she is getting fed. Pre-flower Action: The top nodes are really starting to tighten up, and you can see her pushing out those early pistils. She is definitely shifting gears and getting ready to start stacking some real buds. 🌸 The main focus right now is just making sure she's supported against the wind since she's turned into such a giant. I'm keeping her fed and letting her soak up the weather. She is an absolute beast! 🔥 Let's keep it growing! 🌱💨

No hay mucho que comentar, sigo añadiendo humedad pulverizando con agua destilada 3 o 4 veces al dia. Y riego en cuanto veo que está "seco" A los 18 dias les hice un foliar con Hemplex , un bioestimulador. Con estas raices ya necesitan un transplante urgentemente, xd.

Another week of this lady flexing hard! Looks like she's done stretching and is now on to body building, hopefully she packs on some pounds in the next month or so... Smells and frost are coming on and she's just rolling along. I expect another strong week upcoming.

Vanilla Latte from Huboldt Seed Company seems to be very stron strain! others still going very well...
