# ? Blue Waffle F1 — Pheno B ## Germination Week | Every Seed Finds Its Own Pace Hello GrowDiaries family! 👋🌱 Welcome to the second diary of the Blue Waffle F1 project. While Pheno A was the first seedling to emerge, today we focus on her sister, Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B. One of the most fascinating aspects of growing cannabis is discovering that even when everything is identical, every seed still chooses its own path. Same genetics. Same environment. Same grower. Same soil. Same equipment. Yet every seed tells its own story. And that's exactly why I decided to document each phenotype individually. --- ## A New Project Begins This diary is part of a completely separate project from my ongoing 12/12-from-seed garden. For this run, the objective is very different. Rather than flowering from day one, these plants will be grown under a traditional vegetative schedule, allowing them to fully develop before any decisions are made regarding training or structure. Current plans include: - 18/6 light schedule - Full vegetative development - Potential Low Stress Training (LST) - Potential topping - Possible Scrog implementation - Structural development observations - Full seed-to-harvest documentation At this stage, however, everything begins with germination. --- ## The Cannakan Germination Method Like many of the plants in my garden, Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B began life inside the Cannakan germination system. The process remains intentionally simple. The seed was placed into the system using only plain water. No nutrients. No additives. No stimulants. Just water. After approximately 24 hours of soaking, most of the water was removed, leaving only enough moisture to maintain ideal germination conditions. The seed quickly responded. A healthy taproot emerged and shortly afterward it was time to move into soil. Simple. Clean. Effective. Exactly how I like germination to be. --- ## Why Only Water? One question that often appears during germination is: "Why not feed the seed immediately?" The answer is surprisingly simple. The seed already contains everything required for the earliest stage of life. Inside the shell are all the energy reserves needed to establish roots and begin early development. At this stage I prefer allowing nature to do exactly what nature designed the seed to do. The goal is not to feed the plant. The goal is simply to wake it up. Water is enough. The rest is already stored inside. --- ## From Germination To Soil Once a healthy taproot appeared, Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B was transferred directly into Plagron Lightmix. This substrate has become a favorite starting medium because of its light texture, excellent aeration, and forgiving nature during early development. The seed settled into its new home and quickly began establishing roots. Although slightly slower than her sister, Pheno B emerged successfully and showed healthy early vigor from the very beginning. Sometimes one seed simply likes to take an extra moment before introducing itself. That doesn't make it weaker. It simply means it's following its own schedule. --- ## Why Use A Humidity Dome? During the first few days after emergence, both Blue Waffle seedlings spent time inside a humidity dome. Young seedlings have extremely small root systems and therefore limited access to water. Maintaining elevated humidity around the plant helps reduce moisture loss through the leaves while the root system develops below the surface. The humidity dome is not intended as a permanent environment. It is simply a temporary tool designed to support the plant during one of the most delicate stages of its life. As root development improves, the dome is removed and the plant begins adapting to the environment it will experience throughout the remainder of the grow. The goal is adaptation. Not dependence. --- ## Building The New Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit One of the most exciting parts of this project was assembling the brand-new Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit that will be used throughout the entire grow cycle. The entire system was assembled by one person without assistance. Even including: - Tent assembly - LED installation - Carbon filter setup - Inline fan installation - Ducting - Controller setup - Cable management Everything was fully operational in less than an hour. The instructions included with the kit are excellent and very beginner friendly. In my particular grow space I needed to make a few adjustments and perform some creative positioning to fit everything exactly how I wanted, but the process remained straightforward. The first impression was extremely positive. Build quality feels excellent. Materials feel solid. Assembly was simple. And now comes the fun part: Putting everything to the test. --- ## What's Included In The Kit? This project is being grown entirely using the Zamnesia Grow Tent Kit. The package includes: - Grow Tent 100×100×200 cm - Phytonaut LED Grow Light 320W - Inline Duct Fan 150 mm - Carbon Filter Air Purifier 150 mm - Grow Environment Controller - Grow Tent Clip Fan - Flexible Ducting - 24-Hour Timer - Rope Ratchet Hangers - Velcro Cable Management Accessories Everything currently operating inside the tent comes directly from this kit. No substitutions. No upgrades. No modifications. This allows a genuine evaluation of the complete system exactly as supplied. --- ## Environmental Conditions For this first week, conditions remained intentionally gentle. Using a PAR meter, light intensity was measured at approximately: ~200 PPFD Young seedlings simply do not require intense lighting. The objective during this stage is healthy establishment rather than rapid growth. Environmental conditions remained stable throughout the week, allowing both seedlings to focus their energy on root development and early growth. The response was exactly what I hoped to see. Healthy posture. Healthy color. Steady progression. And no signs of stress. --- ## First Impressions Of Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B Although Pheno B emerged slightly later than her sister, she quickly demonstrated healthy vigor and strong development. Color remains excellent. Structure appears balanced. Growth is steady and consistent. And the differences between both phenotypes are already beginning to emerge. That is exactly why these individual diaries exist. Watching each plant reveal its personality is one of the most rewarding parts of growing. At only one week old, this story is still just beginning. --- ## Looking Ahead Over the coming weeks we'll continue documenting every stage of development. We'll follow: - Root establishment - Vegetative growth - Environmental management - Structural development - Training decisions - Nutrient progression - Genetic expression - And whatever unique characteristics this phenotype decides to reveal For now, Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B has completed a successful first week and has settled comfortably into her new home. The roots are growing. The leaves are reaching. And the adventure has officially begun. Grower's Love everyone. 💚🌱? Sometimes the plant that takes an extra day to arrive ends up telling the most interesting story.

Nice buds, coated with frost. Lived through root wrought, so I will give this plant a good grade for disease resistance. I will continue filling in as harvest / curing completes.

D71. Week five of flower and the girls are simply doing their thing. I scouted the plants today and found thrips on the second girl. I was hoping the lacewings would have gotten them all by now, but no such luck. I'll give them a week before ordering another batch. For some reason, the thrips avoid the first girl. Visually, there's also a clear difference between the two girls, with the first girl being darker and having more buds. ------------------------------ D73. I brewed a short (6 hours) compost tea today consisting of worm castings, kelp meal, neem meal, humic and fulvic acid, rock dust, biochar, and molasses. After the brew, I added homemade Bokashi juice, which lowered the pH of the tea to 6.6. Each girl got 2.5 liters of tea (5% of pot volume.) I also did another light round of defoliation, down low on the plants. ------------------------------ D75. Each girl got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.5, with 5 ml of FFJ. The plants stretched SO MUCH after flipping them into flower that it's challenging for the light to penetrate the canopy, and it's pretty dark further down. I bought some LED grow light strips and installed them in the tent to provide additional side lighting. It's only 36 W of extra lighting, but I hope it will help to develop the numerous buds down low. I put the lights on the left side of the tent, around the first girl, since she has a lot more buds, but now that it looks like the concept works, I might get another set of lights for the right side of the tent. ------------------------------ D77. We've reached the end of the fifth week of flower, and all is well in the tent. Ahem, almost all since I still have the thrips to contend with, BUT I just put a bunch of Cucumeris predatory mites in the tent, so the war rages on. A friend suggested adding white cloth below the plants to reflect more light toward the lower buds. Sounds plausible, but I didn't have any fabric, so I went all ghetto by simply putting strips of kitchen paper on top of the scrog net. Not the most fantastic reflector material ever, but it's what I had at hand. Plus, it's easy to work with and costs next to nothing. I doubt it will make a big difference, but even a slight increase is still an increase, and I could see a visible difference in the amount of light hitting the lower canopy. Finally, each plant got 2.5 liters of water @ pH 6.3, with FFJ and Bokashi Juice. ------------------------------

Finally got the time to sit down to do some maintenance and training on this girl🙌 It was a wet and rainy Sunday on 7/25 so we pushed back our Farmers Market a day and I got to get soaked in the garden😅 Cleaned up the interior, removing discolored fan leaves that weren't getting enough light and small branches growing inward that wouldn't amount to much. Then I did some LST with 4' Bamboo stakes and PGarden EZ Soft Plant Ties. I staked 4 main branches to open up the interior for better light penetration and air circulation👍 When it was all said and done I brought the trim back down to the barn as a treat for my horse Kestrel, he loves snacking on trim leaves! I also switched the the Neptune's Harvest Rose and Flowering as we're approaching flowering time and also gave them some good old fashioned Crosby's Molasses to get those sugars going!

💩Holy Crap We Are Back At It And Loving It💩 Growmies we are at DAY 28 and she's just killing💀it👌 👉We are in the Preflower stretch 👈 So Shit , I gave them just a tad to much nutes on the last feeding 👈 But I have since fixed it So I'm starting to pull her over and do some low stress training 🙃 and some defolation 😳 Lights being readjusted and chart updated .........👍rain water to be used entire growth👈 Changed To Bloom 8-20-30 👉I used NutriNPK for nutrients for my grows and welcome anyone to give them a try .👈 👉 www.nutrinpk.com 👈 NutriNPK Cal MAG 14-0-14 NutriNPK Grow 28-14-14 NutriNPK Bloom 8-20-30 NutriNPK Bloom Booster 0-52-34 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO OVER MY DIARIES 👈

This week shows a lot of stem growth as well as the presence of some clones! Too excited about how big the girls are getting have a feeling they are going to be getting bigger at a fast rate at this point. I am still keeping them on the same nutrient and light schedule at the moment. I have a lot more pictures and videos this week because lets be honest I am still getting the hang of this thang!

A week from last not much change to be honest

Getting closer to harvest every day. In fact, had to start early with Grace, as all of her leaves turned yellow and the trichomes are starting to cloud up. Decided to try the top bud harvest method and allow the smaller buds on the lower portions of the plant to develop more. Read somewhere that it'll allow me to reap an additional 25-50% more flower.

What a monster I'm happy to have stepped up to the big pot. I'm going bigger 😳🤓.... This girl is a little restricted but I gave her a good defoli and the smooth light is spread out as best as i can get.

I’m quite surprised as to how well these girls are looking and smelling!! They’re quality genetics but i also believe every strain will provide pros and cons during the grow. This one particularity has been quite the learning experience. Cannabis is quite the resilient plant and I definitely like growing them. As far as this week goes they’re definitely producing more trichomes and resin glands and appears there’s no more stretch from the plant. No more new growth even small amounts hidden within the canopy. I did a little flush earlier this week and it made the tips of what fan leaves turn yellowish so it def means we’re getting close to the end. Prob got another 2 weeks before I fully flush for Atleast a week then pulling them down. The trichs will be the ultimate deciding factor. I’ll pull when i see the first sign as I like more of a heady high than a couch-lock with little to none clear. Well till next week y’all happy growin and hopefully ya had a good thanksgiving

Pretty happy with this grow. Going to either reveg 1 and pop s2 for next or do all s2. Absolute 0 herm through all flower and all plants. Chopped them. Will try to reveg 2 I am very baked

Sep 6: the bud type seems a bit disappointing. Likely just this particular phenotype but she is not really forming normal looking buds. Whatever, the smell is very nice and there will be enough mass and potency for extracts. Sep 7: added a final round of malted barley and Power Bloom. Sep 12: don’t take flash pics of your plants unless you follow up with a far red light to put them into dark mode. Otherwise you run a higher risk of hermies.

Ak1 is already quite fat, the smell is very strong. Being born with natural pruning made her very fat, just 2 thick branches. Ak2 is doing well too, very pretty. 12/12 from seed Watering with filtered tap water every 2/3 days, when the pot is lighter Soil: peat, coconut powder, perlite, carbonized rice husk, sheep manure and worm humus. essential mineral mix, vegetable flours, vegetable cakes, biochar, bokashi EM1 and other organic inputs, Algae ascophyllum nodosum small pots 3,7liters // 1gallon light: lm301h-evo 120watts with other plants

8/25/23 - Day 73 - Another week down. We did a water change today. The buds are getting fatter and WAAAAAAY smellier. I have had a couple of times now where I lost a battle to the Skunk BOSS. I have had to reach in to move some buds around because they are too close to the light on some bud sites. You can see one of the buds up top, it has some white to it, I think that's due to being too close to the light. But once I move the buds around, I smell EXACTLY like a skunk. The smell is crazy strong. It's taking several full showers and it's still all over my fingers. Gloves will be an ABSOLUTE must when just reach in for a second. 8/28/23 - Day 76 - The buds are starting to grow even more, that the buds are growing buds out of them. That sounds weird but it's the only way to describe it. It looks like Romanesco. The buds are getting more dank, fatter, and more crystals are forming. 8/29/23 - Day 77 -I did some trimming today. I push some of the buds down and really got my arms in there today. All of the buds have gained so much mass to them when I squeeze them, they are really dense. I left a time laps video of me doing some late trimming, I was noticing some of the cannabis leaves were taking some of the light from the buds. 8/31/23 - Day 79 - The trichomes are still see-through and crystal clear. IM looking for a glossy-type look. My guess is still two/three weeks out. If you are looking for this experience, check out https://www.getleaf.co/

In week 5 (=flowering week 3) all 18 CANNALOPE HAZE plants from DNA-GENETICS continued to develop their flower crowns. The lamps are now hung a little higher at a distance of 50 cm (=LUMATEK) and 60 cm (=SANlight) and both still run at 100% power (=no more dimming for now!). The plants on the right under the Q6W-Gen. 2 LED-Lamps from SANlight are a little bit taller and still have a darker, healthier green color. The amount of flower crowns also appears to be more, but is hard to recognize by eye anymore. The plants on the left side under the Lumatek PRO 600W are developing good and produce lots of flower crowns, but appear to be lighter in color. My waterings are always with tab-water only, since the BIOTABS nutrients are for the FULL-CYCLE, its sooooo easy and convenient, I LOVE IT! 😎 The HOMEBOX growtent is now nicely filled out and my trellis (=plastic netting) is filling out very well! The trellis will hold up the branches under the weight of the HUGE tops I expect later in flowering...😁

I was on a trip for work for 2 days, I tried my best to take care of everything before I went. They still got damaged cuz of underwatering.. also I’m not quite sure if they are underfertalized because of all the flushing for the right ph I did. They started to develop droopy yellow leaves that are pretty soft to the touch and don’t crunch up at the tips like they first did from nutrient burn. I gave them a top dress today with a mixture of 25% worm castings and 75% all mix, hopefully this will stabilise them. I would really appreciate some help in this case, as I’m not sure if it’s caused by nutrient deficiency or nutrient burn. Also I wanted to do a big defoliation and lollipoping this week, but I feel like I first should solve the nutrient problem, so I don’t start damaging the top growth.
