D68 (28/01/2021): First official day of week 6 in bloom and first official day (second in reality) of pre harvest flush. The smell is strong when I open the tent! It does not take long for the whole room to smell dank and even outside the room. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 20-22C light OFF - no water - RH: 49-52% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D69 (29/01/2021): I did a first proper flush today by running approximately 2.5 gallons of water trough the medium. There is still a lot of nutrients in the medium. I might do the exact same flush tomorrow. The PH of the run off is high (around PH7-7.1). This is an other reason to flush again tomorrow. I also reduced the light ON schedule by two hours. So now 18h hours ON and 6 hours OFF. I will continue reducing the ON period until they are ready for a complete dark period. I also try to reduce the air temperature. - temp: 24-25C light ON ; 19-20C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 135PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7 and 680PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 560PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 47% light ON ; 48-53% light OFF D70 (30/01/2021): I did a second flush since I was not satisfied with run off PPM of yesterday. Today, the run off PPM is under 300 which is what I wanted. The run off PH is still high with 7.1. Banana Kush is ripening with the pistils slowly turning brown. Glue Gelato look sooooo yummy and I can't wait to harvest it. There is a small color change in some leaves but I'm expecting more in the next days. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - water: PH6.4, 125PPM, 2.5 gallons each - run off: PH7.1 and 260PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.1 and 250PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 46% light ON ; 46-48% light OFF D71 (31/01/2021): Glue Gelato is changing color. I'm checking trichomes everyday on both girls and no amber yet. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 45% light ON ; 49-50% light OFF D72 (01/02/2021): Well well well...the clock is ticking for those girls. Glue Gelato is now having a couple of amber trichomes. Banana Kush don't have any. Overall Banana Kush has less trichomes and fluffier buds. This girls is not ready yet but I will need to chop her down at the same time has the Glue Gelato because my drying space is the tent I'm growing in. I will try to push the Banana Kush to ripen faster by lifting up the lamp at 16 inches from top bud and by reducing of 2 hours the day period for a 16 hours light ON and 8 hours light OFF. But at least all Banana Kush trichomes looks milky. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: PH6.2, 123PPM, less then a gallon each - run off: PH7.4 and 200PPM for Glue Gelato ; PH7.4 and 287PPM for Banana Kush - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D73 (02/02/2021): I gave water probably for the last time today. Trichomes on Glue Gelato are starting to amber on top buds. Not a lot of amber but you can see that all the trichomes are starting to degrade by curling down slowly. Trichomes on Banana Kush are not amber at all but they all look milky. Glue Gelato is ready to harvest but Banana Kush need more time. It's tough to make a decision to chop or not since they are not at the same stage of growth. I want to place them in a complete 48 hours of darkness before harvest. 1h less light today for a 15h light ON and 9h light OFF. The lamps are now at 20 inches. - temp: 23-24C light ON ; 18-19C light OFF - water: less then a gallon each - RH: 45% light ON ; 40-45% light OFF D74 (03/02/2021): Glue Gelato is ready for 48h of darkness. I will take her out of the tent and place her in an other room without light. I will try to maintain a proper environment in this room and if it smells to strong or if the condition are not good I will replace her in the tent and both will start the 48h darkness. The idea is to give Banana Kush 2 more days to ripe and swoll more. After 48h, I will chop Glue Gelato and place her in the tent to start drying. Banana Kush will then start her 48h darkness. I don't know if this strategy is good but I will monitor everything closely and react if something is wrong. - temp: 22-23C light ON ; 19C light OFF - no water - RH: 47% light ON ; 43-45% light OFF

Day 15. Girls are steady but no major growth yet. Day 19- stardawg girls seem to be just a bit infront in terms of growth rate compared to the GSC. 2 stardawg, 2 Girl Scout cookies in soil. One of each in rockwool cubes which seem to be growing nicely. Just double stacked them today. Used the rockwool along side soil as a little experiment as I’ve had good results in the past. Due to these being autos I’m wondering if they would of all been better in cubes. Time will tell. Also had one of the Girl Scout cookies showing possible overfeeding but keeping a close eye on all plants and feeds will be just water till I establish what’s caused it. Any questions feel free to ask!

πŸ’™ Project Blue Tent – Week 4 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 dedicated to exploring the incredible Blue Waffle F1 genetics from Zamnesia while putting the complete Zamnesia ecosystem through its paces. Rather than growing multiple plants as one crop, every phenotype is documented individually, allowing each one to tell its own story despite sharing the exact same environment, nutrients, lighting and care. Unlike our 8Γ—8 Adventure, where different cultivars grow together, Project Blue Tent focuses on understanding every subtle difference between identical F1 genetics. Every week we watch these plants develop, compare their structures, and discover how each expresses its own unique personality. As we like to say... We are not just growing seedsβ€”we are discovering individual personalities. Today, the spotlight once again belongs to Blue Waffle F1 – Plant A. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Four – Time to Shape the Future This week marked another important milestone for Plant A. Last week she was establishing her root system and settling comfortably into her new home. This week she rewarded us with vigorous vegetative growth, producing larger leaves, thicker stems and a noticeably fuller canopy. Although her colour remains a lighter green than I'd ultimately like to see, she continues showing excellent health. Her leaves remain turgid, the growth is vigorous, and every new node arrives neatly stacked with tight internodal spacing. Rather than showing signs of weakness, she's simply telling me she's ready for a little more nutrition. Sometimes the plants speak quietly. Our job is simply to listen before they have to shout. ──────────────────────── 🌑️ The Blue Tent Environment The environment remains one of the biggest strengths of this project. The Zamnesia ecosystem continues keeping everything remarkably stable, allowing me to focus less on chasing environmental fluctuations and more on observing the plants themselves. This week's average conditions were: β€’ 🌑️ Day Temperature: 27Β°C β€’ πŸŒ™ Night Temperature: 27Β°C β€’ πŸ’§ Relative Humidity: 67% β€’ βš—οΈ pH: 5.8 β€’ ⚑ EC: 1.88 mS/cm β€’ πŸ’¨ COβ‚‚: approximately 450 ppm β€’ πŸ’‘ Light Schedule: 18/6 β€’ β˜€οΈ PPFD: approximately 350 The Phytonaut LED continues providing a beautifully even light distribution across the canopy while the Grow Environment Controller keeps the room running quietly and consistently day after day. Stable environments make it much easier to understand what the plants are actually telling us. ──────────────────────── πŸ₯₯ Feeding Update One of the biggest observations this week came from the feeding program. The slightly lighter leaf colour we noticed last week remained present, so rather than waiting for a true deficiency to develop, I decided to make another small adjustment. Hydro A and Hydro B have both been increased to 1.8 ml/L, while Hydro Roots remains unchanged. The goal isn't simply to feed moreβ€”it's to provide enough nitrogen and overall nutrition for the plants to return to the rich green colour I'm aiming for while maintaining steady, healthy growth. Another small addition this week was Plagron pH Min. Not because the nutrient solution was unstableβ€”quite the opposite. One thing that has genuinely impressed me with the Plagron Hydro line is just how stable the reservoir remains after mixing. Once everything is dialled in, the pH barely drifts throughout the week, often requiring nothing more than the smallest correction here and there to keep it exactly where I want it. Coming from years of growing in living soil, that's been a pleasant surprise. It makes reservoir management much simpler and allows me to spend more time observing the plants instead of constantly adjusting the solution. Sometimes the best equipment is the equipment you hardly need to think about. ──────────────────────── βœ‚οΈ This Week's Lesson – Why I Top My Plants This week was also the perfect moment to introduce one of the most important training techniques I'll be using throughout this grow. Plant A received her first topping. Unlike Low Stress Training (LST), topping is considered High Stress Training (HST) because we're deliberately removing the plant's main growing tip. It's not something I recommend doing on struggling plants. Before topping, I want to see healthy roots, active growth, and a plant that's clearly recovering quickly from everyday development. Although the colour is still a little lighter than I'd prefer, her overall health and vigour made her an excellent candidate. Some growers prefer topping above the second or third node. Personally, I like allowing the plants a little more time to build structure before making that cut. By waiting slightly longer, I'm able to preserve more branches that will later become valuable flowering sites once the SCROG net is installed. My goal isn't simply to create two topsβ€”it's to build a wider, stronger framework that will eventually fill the entire screen with evenly developed colas. Today's cut is an investment in the canopy we'll enjoy several weeks from now. For the job I used the Zamnesia Pruning Scissors, making a clean, precise cut with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue. A sharp, clean cut helps the plant recover quickly while reducing unnecessary stress. Now the race begins. Instead of one dominant leader, several branches will compete for the top position, creating a much more even canopy ready for future training. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant A Herself Every week her personality becomes a little clearer. She continues growing in a compact, organised manner, producing broad leaves and beautifully symmetrical branching. The stems continue developing subtle purple pigmentation, while the main trunk is noticeably thickening as she prepares for the next stage of growth. After topping, I expect that energy will now be redirected into the lateral branches, encouraging the wider structure I'm aiming for before introducing the SCROG. She's beginning to look less like a young seedling and more like a plant with a plan. ──────────────────────── πŸ‘€ Looking Ahead Next week will be all about recovery and redistribution. Rather than expecting explosive vertical growth immediately after topping, I'll be watching how quickly the side branches respond and begin competing for dominance. If everything goes according to plan, the canopy should begin opening naturally, creating the perfect foundation for the SCROG that will arrive later in vegetative growth. We'll also be paying close attention to the new feeding strength, watching for that richer green colour as the increased nutrition begins to take effect. Sometimes the biggest progress isn't measured in centimetres. Sometimes it's measured in balance. ──────────────────────── πŸ’™ Thank You A huge thank you to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possibleβ€”from these outstanding Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. Every week the equipment continues proving that it was designed by growers who understand what happens inside a real grow room. A massive thank you as well to Plagron for providing the Premium Growbags and the Hydro nutrient line. The stability of the reservoir and the consistency of the feeding program have made this transition into coco an incredibly enjoyable learning experience. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document, learn, share experiences and continue improving together. And finally... Thank you to every single person following this journey. Whether you've been here since the very beginning, recently joined the adventure, leave comments every week, quietly follow along, or even challenge my methods from time to timeβ€”you all help make this community stronger. Every conversation, every question and every shared experience teaches us something new. I truly appreciate every one of you. I hope you're all having an amazing week, and I can't wait to show you how Plant A responds to her first topping in the next update. Until then... Growers Love, happy growing, and I'll see you all next week πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™

I'm kinda late on the update, week 11 finished on sunday 4, now is feb 9th. Last time i gave them nutrients was on sunday jan 28th and i'm flushing them since that date. My intention was to take them down this sunday (11) but I will not be at home that day, maybe I'll cut them on monday 12th. Maybe on monday i will add week 12 and then when the drying is done I'll update the harvest. So far it seems like taller plant needs more time, as far as you guys have told me, seems like smaller is ready, but because of time I think I will cut them together. Also my intention es to create a video to participate on 2F4B contest, i forgot to record the harvesting of LSD25 so this strain is my chance.πŸ˜€

Auto banana kush has sprouted. She lost one of her initial leaves from husk, and membrane sticking. This should not effect her much as she starts. I will find out in a few days.

🌿 Woche 17 – Mentha de Croco πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ Ein weiterer Meilenstein ist erreicht! πŸš€ Die linke Mentha de Croco ist nun etwa 190 cm groß, die rechte hat mit ca. 202 cm bereits die 2-Meter-Marke geknackt! πŸ“πŸŽ‰ Besonders spannend ist die VerΓ€nderung der Wuchsform. WΓ€hrend beide Pflanzen anfangs wie schlanke Wolkenkratzer in die HΓΆhe wuchsen, entwickeln sie nun immer mehr die typische Tannenbaum-Struktur 🌲. Vor allem die linke Pflanze hat eine wunderschΓΆne, gleichmÀßige Verzweigung ausgebildet und sieht einfach fantastisch aus. πŸ’š Aktuell bekommen beide Pflanzen tΓ€glich etwa 5 Liter Wasser πŸ’§. Das 30-Liter-Topfvolumen macht sich inzwischen deutlich bemerkbar und scheint das weitere HΓΆhenwachstum zunehmend zu begrenzen. Trotzdem entwickeln sich die Pflanzen weiterhin hervorragend. Heute gibt es wieder eine Gabe meines selbst hergestellten Ackerschachtelhalm-Brennnessel-Ferments mit 10 ml pro Liter Wasser 🌿. Ansonsten lΓ€uft alles absolut problemlos – keine MΓ€ngel, keine SchΓ€dlinge und keine Krankheiten. Genau so wΓΌnscht man sich einen Outdoor-Grow! πŸ’ͺβ˜€οΈ Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt von der Robustheit und SchΓΆnheit dieser Genetik. Bisher machen die beiden einfach alles mit und belohnen mich Woche fΓΌr Woche mit einer beeindruckenden Entwicklung. ❀️🌱 🌿 Week 17 – Mentha de Croco πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Another milestone has been reached! πŸš€ The left Mentha de Croco is now around 190 cm tall, while the right one has officially broken the 2-meter mark, reaching approximately 202 cm! πŸ“πŸŽ‰ What’s especially interesting is how their growth pattern has changed. Instead of the tall, column-like β€œskyscraper” appearance they had earlier, both plants are now developing a beautiful Christmas tree structure 🌲. The left plant in particular has formed an incredibly symmetrical branching pattern and looks absolutely stunning. πŸ’š At the moment, each plant receives around 5 liters of water every day πŸ’§. The relatively small 30-liter pots are now clearly becoming the limiting factor for further vertical growth, but despite that, both plants continue to thrive. Today they’ll receive another feeding with my homemade nettle and horsetail ferment at a concentration of 10 ml per liter of water 🌿. Apart from that, everything is going perfectlyβ€”no nutrient deficiencies, no pests, and no diseases. Exactly what you hope for in an outdoor grow! πŸ’ͺβ˜€οΈ I’m truly impressed by the resilience and beauty of this genetics. These plants have handled every challenge so far and continue to reward me with outstanding growth week after week. ❀️🌱
