12/16 MONDAY!! I nearly died from all the work yesterday........ Got ALL 7 ......but... I have never put spouts in dirt before....It took 6 hours to get the new tent setup for some reason and the tails got too long on the seeds........I didn't prepare right....did everything in one day instead of....well shreck..... New tent is AWESOME, CannaKan is AWESOME.... Re-using dirt AWESOME. I might be a little retarded. 🎉👍3am!! 4am!! 11am looks good. CBD not sure yet and one other but still the best Ive done so far! I had a seed from Dark Devil Auto by Sweetseeds that also didn't lose its shell on its own. I got that one off and it grew just fine. 1217 7am Just finished SEED SURGURY!!!🚨 Successfully!!!!!!!!! removed a stuck seed AND the impossibly thin skin coating preventing the sprout from opening!!! 9am looks great. 12pm ALL are GO!!!! I didn't get Gorilla Zkittlez planted right but she's coming around. 100 per cent success..... CANNAKAN Changes everything. As I get better at this I will be able to grow more plants. I get more enjoyment from growing lots of smaller different plants, I can do that so much easier now. IMPORTANT.... I ONLY buy dirt that is sealed airtight and made for INDOOR HERB, or lavender dirt. Sunrise Soil Herb is the best, I cant find it on amazon now. So CannaKan, Sunrise Soil Indoor Herb, and the best seeds in the world....WOW!!! 2pm CBD is looking great, but.....Garlic Muffin #3 must have hit something in the dirt maybe old nutrients, but I dont think she's going to make it. Maybe though. 12/18 12 am Garlic Muffin died....... Im going to do 2 more plants today. Probably Critical Kush to replace it. 11am. They are looking great!! I only lost 1. I didn't get them in the dirt soon enough, the one that died. Lesson learned. So excited I started a new grow!!! Fast Flowers this time. The new Spider Farmer Tent will be perfect for that, CannaKan what a difference!!!!! 12/19 1am All are looking great 12/20 4pm WOW they are all doing great!!!!

Hello growers and we are back in the garden with crystal meth sorry iv missed a few weeks but have been occupied elsewhere but I’m back on track day 49 today I didn’t have high hopes for this girl as she has got white leafs up 1 side of the plant and she took awhile to get going but I’m glad I left her to do her thing as her buds are pure purple 😁 I can’t wait to see the end product I did do a purple lemonade but she didn’t have the colour like this 1 until next week be safe and happy growing ✌️

Day 134 - We enter the 12th week of flower. I forgot to mention that I gave 2 gallons of water again yesterday, though the runoff seemed to be about half as much as the previous time that I watered. I did topdress with a touch of new Mother Earth Coco Peat, but I wouldn't have imagined it would have soaked up as much additional water as it did. I imagine doing so will give the plants just a touch more nutrients while just watering, and should hopefully allow me to at least get through this week, possibly a touch longer. The trichs all appear cloudy, but the pistils still stand up a bit much, so I want to take this as long as possible, without extending it too much further. Day 135 - Seems that last little top dress of medium has slowed/stopped what seemed to be the start of autumning off. I'm actually kind of happy with that, as it may allow me to get another couple days of finishing out of the plant. While I don't want to wait much longer, I would like to see some more pistils receding/turning color. Day 136 - Watered today, just under 2 gallons. After a couple days of getting lots of runoff, I feel safe that most of the medium will be cleaned of any salt residues that may have been left. At this point, I will basically just water until runoff for the last feed or two. Day 137 - As I wait for these last few days to count down to harvest, I can only think that it is hard to 'plan' a grow before you start. These beans were listed as 8-10 weeks, I started flowering at the beginning of March, and figured by the end of April I should be close to a harvest. Well, as we sit here, close to the end of May, it is finally getting close to that harvest, though at times I feel like I should be waiting multiple more weeks on the plant. Day 138 - I don't have much to say about today. I started a new job tonight, working the overnight shift, so I will end up only getting a couple hours of 'day' time with the plant now in her final days. She will be watered tomorrow when I get home from work. Day 139 - This new job is less than ideal for the flowering times I currently have, but there is minimal (probably 7-10 days) time left before I chop her. Lights are on from 10p-10a, and I work from 10p-6a, not getting home until close to 7. She was watered when I got home today, and so as long as she doesn't fade out too quickly, I will be chopping around the 1st of June. She will approach 90 days of flower time from a listed 56-63 day strain. I have said it many times, but still a waiting game at this point. Day 140 - The 20th week of growing, 12th week of flower is now complete. It appears that the leaves are slowly starting to yellow a bit more. Getting close! She is either going to get harvested this weekend, or next weekend (figure it will just be easier to do when I'm not working).

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 6 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno A (Folder 13A) Welcome back everyone to another week inside Project Blue Tent! If this is your first visit, welcome aboard. This project is all about exploring the incredible Blue Waffle F1 genetics from Zamnesia while putting the complete Zamnesia ecosystem through its paces. Rather than documenting four plants as one diary, each phenotype receives its own weekly report, allowing us to appreciate how identical F1 genetics can still express their own individual personalities despite growing under exactly the same conditions. Every week we observe how each plant responds to training, nutrition and the environment, slowly building a complete picture of who they are becoming. As I always like to say... We're not just growing plants. We're getting to know them. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Six – Filling Every Corner This week has been all about patience, consistency and allowing the canopy to slowly take over the tent. Plant A now stands at approximately 60 cm tall and has spent the entire week doing exactly what I hoped she would do after installing the SCROG net. Rather than stretching vertically, she's investing her energy into filling her own corner of the screen with healthy new shoots. Every day I spend a few minutes gently guiding the tallest branches back underneath the net, encouraging them to grow horizontally instead of racing upward. For anyone unfamiliar with the technique, SCROG (Screen of Green) is designed to create one large, even canopy instead of allowing a few dominant branches to tower above the rest. By weaving each branch beneath the screen, every future flowering site receives similar light intensity, producing a much more uniform canopy once flowering begins. It's not something you do once. It's something you do a little every single day. Little by little the branches spread, new shoots appear, and before long the entire screen begins filling itself. Plant A has embraced the process beautifully. She isn't fighting the training. She's working with it. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant Development Opening the tent each morning has become incredibly rewarding. The lighter green colour we observed a couple of weeks ago has completely disappeared, replaced by rich, healthy foliage from top to bottom. The adjustment we made to the feeding schedule has clearly been exactly what these ladies were asking for. Plant A now looks vigorous, balanced and full of energy. Her leaves are broad, healthy and beautifully coloured, while the new growth remains vibrant without showing any signs of nutrient stress despite running an EC that some growers might initially consider relatively high. One thing I've learned over many years is that nutrient strength isn't about following someone else's numbers. It's about listening to what your own plants are telling you. Right now these girls are telling me they're happy. So nothing changes. ──────────────────────── 🌡️ Environment Despite the middle of summer bringing consistently warm weather outside, the environment inside the Blue Tent continues to remain remarkably stable. This week's average conditions were: • Day Temperature: 30°C • Night Temperature: 27°C • Relative Humidity: 58% • pH: 5.8 • EC: 1.92 mS/cm • CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • Light Schedule: 18/6 • PPFD: approximately 350 The small difference between day and night temperatures is something I'll be paying attention to once flowering begins, as warmer nights can encourage additional stretch during the early weeks of bloom. For now though, while we're still focused entirely on vegetative growth and filling the SCROG, these conditions continue producing exactly the results I'm looking for. One challenge at a time. ──────────────────────── 🥥 Feeding Program The feeding schedule remains unchanged because the plants have shown absolutely no reason for me to adjust it. This week's nutrient solution consisted of: • Hydro A – 1.9 ml/L • Hydro B – 1.9 ml/L • Hydro Roots – 1 ml/L With only minor pH adjustments where required. Although an EC of 1.92 may appear relatively high to some growers, the plants couldn't be giving me clearer feedback. Rich green foliage. Strong stems. Rapid vegetative growth. Healthy root development. Plants don't read feeding charts. They simply tell us whether they're happy. And these girls certainly are. ──────────────────────── 🕸️ The SCROG Continues This week the screen has really started showing its purpose. Every day I continue tucking the tallest branches back beneath the net, encouraging lateral growth while allowing slower branches to catch up. The objective isn't simply to keep the plants short. The objective is to create dozens of future flowering tops all sitting at roughly the same height. Once the screen is almost completely filled, we'll perform one final defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration before flipping the tent into flower. We're getting closer every single day. Nature is building the canopy. I'm simply guiding it. ──────────────────────── 🐛 An Unexpected Visitor This week also reminded me that no matter how careful we are, nature always finds ways to surprise us. While inspecting the plants I discovered a single caterpillar happily enjoying one of the leaves. Considering how strict I am with hygiene before entering the grow room, it genuinely caught me by surprise. I always shower, change into clean clothes and do everything possible to avoid bringing unwanted guests inside. Yet somehow... One tiny traveller still managed to find its way from the vegetable garden into the tent. Thankfully, regular inspections meant the problem was caught immediately. The caterpillar was removed by hand, the damaged leaves were cleaned up, and an IPM (Integrated Pest Management) inspection was carried out across the entire grow. IPM isn't simply reacting when problems appear. It's creating regular routines that help prevent small issues from ever becoming large ones. Observation is always the first line of defence. ──────────────────────── 🛡️ A Little Extra Protection To finish the inspection, I also used the Future of Grow UVC LED bar as an additional preventative measure. UVC light can help reduce unwanted spores and microorganisms that may have found their way into the grow room, making it another useful tool within an overall IPM strategy. It's important to mention that UVC must always be used responsibly. Direct exposure can damage both plants and skin, so proper precautions and eye protection are essential whenever working with this type of equipment. Used correctly, however, it becomes another valuable layer of prevention rather than waiting for problems to appear. As always... Prevention is easier than treatment. ──────────────────────── 💙 Plant A's Personality Every phenotype has its own way of growing. Plant A continues proving herself to be one of the most balanced girls inside the Blue Tent. She isn't trying to dominate the canopy. She isn't rushing toward flower. Instead she's quietly filling her own space with healthy branches, beautiful leaf colour and excellent structure. Every week she seems more comfortable with the training, and every week her corner of the tent becomes a little fuller. She's exactly the kind of plant that rewards patience. ──────────────────────── 👀 Looking Ahead If everything continues at this pace, I expect the SCROG screen to be almost completely filled over the coming week. Once that happens, the next major milestone will be a final clean-up and defoliation before flipping the tent into flower. Until then, the daily routine remains wonderfully simple. Tuck the branches. Observe the plants. Keep the environment stable. Let nature do the heavy lifting. Sometimes growing isn't about doing more. It's about knowing when to simply stay out of the plant's way. ──────────────────────── 💙 Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these outstanding Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A massive thank you to Plagron for providing the Premium Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line, which continues delivering beautiful, healthy growth week after week. A special thank you to Mars Hydro for the drip irrigation and automatic drainage system that keeps watering both simple and reliable. Thank you as well to Future of Grow for the excellent UVC LED bar, which has now become another valuable tool within my Integrated Pest Management routine. And finally, thank you to GrowDiaries and to every single person following this journey. Whether you're here to learn, share your own experience, ask questions or simply enjoy watching these phenotypes develop, I genuinely appreciate every visit, every comment and every conversation. Hopefully next week we'll have a completely filled SCROG, perform our final defoliation, and prepare these beautiful ladies for the moment we've all been waiting for... Flowering. Until next week... Growers Love and happy growing! 🌱💙

Day 57 - Starting week 9 and although she got 2 gallons of water yesterday, she’ll be ready for more tomorrow, she’s drinking like a fish right now. Other that that, I did a light defoliation today and will give her a day or two then do a little more. I wanna get some of these giant fan leaves off and out of the way. Day 58 - Gave the girl 2 gallons of water and nutes today. She’s going through two gallons every 48 hours now, really drinking a ton. Other than that, just retucked the leaves and letting her be. Day 59 - She’s stretching like crazy, almost 2 inches the last 24 hours. She’s gonna be a big girl for sure. Just got some updated pics today and tucked the leaves again. Day 60 - Had to give the girl 2 gallons of water and nutes today but was just about out of my usual Advanced Nutrients so had to swap to what I had, Technaora Kit so we’ll see how she does with it. I’ve heard good things so I’m sure she’ll be fine. She’s getting big and starting to get cramped in the tent but not much I can do right now, just trying to get her to grow UP instead of out. Day 62 - This girl just isn’t stopping, she’s huge and only getting bigger each day. She’s just about ready for water so she’ll get two gallons of plain pH’d water tomorrow. Just did a little leaf tucking with her and fit her back into the tent. Day 63 - Ending week 9 today with 2 gallons of plain pH’d water. She’s starting to really develop buds and she’s smelling very sweet. Other than that, just got some updated pictures and tucked the leaves.

What up fam. Weekly update for these purple beauties. They have grown absolutely phenomenal, I really couldn't of asked for an easier grow. Giving them the basics and watching them thrive has been a blast to watch. A few got pulled out that finished a little earlier then the others but the rest will most likely be harvested this coming week. Love the colors and smell it produces as it's truly intoxicating. Happy Growing
