💙 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 8×8 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 seeds—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: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 27°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 67% • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.88 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • ☀️ 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. ──────────────────────── 🥥 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 more—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 unstable—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. ──────────────────────── ✂️ 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 tops—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. ──────────────────────── 👀 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. ──────────────────────── 💙 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. 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 time—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 💙💙💙

Grow notes week 3 #1 This plant is healthy and thriving. She’s the first to show pistols which means I should change her status to flowering but I won’t do that until it’s pretty obviously in flower. She’s taking the training nicely and I think I’m starting to figure things out when it comes to training.. the trick is to simply SLOW DOWN. #2 is looking great! Her leaves are healthy and node spacing is just how I like it to look. She likes LST and seems happy with the maxi grow/bloom series. The roots on each plant are healthy and white #3 is getting greener each day but I’m starting to believe it’s either genetics or this nutrient line that’s causing this effect. #4 is the thickest and biggest plant of the bunch. However, she is displaying rust spots and potential calcium or iron deficiency on the lower older leaves. I may have to feed heavier on cal mag while running this nutrient line up. Thanks for reading this far! I hope you enjoy these time lapses of this weeks growth.. as always Stay highly dedicated & highly medicated folks 🔥🌿😎💨 Peace & blessings upon you!

End of week 14 and wow these are looking gorgeous! 2 of the plants are ready for 10 flush and the other 2 need another 2 weeks before flushing. Popped 2 of them under the 250w HPS as running out of room here haha beautiful dense buds!

Day 2 - no training needed..plants need ntime to recover

Increased light intensity to 85% Girls are drinking 1.5 l a day. Decided to go with multi feeding this time instead of crop steering. We will see the difference. At this point they are fed 3 times a day 600-450-450ml. 150ml shots every 10 minutes.

Please leave your questions and suggestions in the comments.

Plantitas sanas Terminando su 3ra semana de flora...

UPDATE - Thurs 4th March The week has been fine. I am going there today so you may get an update this evening. Iv been posting on TheWeedTube also so I have much more videos explaining what’s going on. Plants are looking great. I got paid today so I bought an online fan to plug into the thermostat and pull fresh air in through a duct from a cooler part of the flat. In summer it won’t be as useful but to be honest I’ll probably just duct tape the sucky end of the duct to a small ac or Friday type thing, iv not really looked into it yet. Even a hillbilly cooking system would be better than nothing. ( filling a bucket up with ice, water and salt and put the end of the duct into that so it sucks in the cold air). We’ll see! Update - Monday 8th March All is well, I just want the buds to start swelling now. I found some awesome supports in Aldi. They are metal rings that the plant weaves through and has spikes that go into the pot rather than a scrog net being fixed in place. Therefore I can still move them and drain the run off.

Viernes 15 de marzo 11:47 pm 2024, ya que abrieron bien se pone bajo lámpara 100w a 30 cm de distancia, tienen domo protector! El lunes en la nueva semana subimos el avance, hasta el Lunes... Sábado 16 de marzo 2024, de las 3 semillas la 1 ya abrió completamente, 2 y 3 están por abrir completamente.

Compost tea turned out well and if your curious about the microscopy, check the comments on my GMP grow. No signs of senescence yet so no feed needed, they are in a second run of the same soil so there should be plenty in there from before. Not very resinous or smelly, with weird wide stumpy buds. Definitely my least fav pheno of any plant I've grown so far, but it's the end product we're after so she may yet surprise.

Although I just flipped to 12/12 I decided to remove some of the fan leaves to improve light penetration. I also used some rubber bands to create a DIY scrog net with a lot of flexibility. In general the plant seems to be doing fine. In the mid of the week I added some phosphor boost to the regular nutrient solution, because my regular mix doesn't have phosphor at all. Forgot to mention that I dimmed the light to 600 ppfd since the beginning of flower. Also moved the air filter and co. to the top again, because it was getting too hot and dry.

Transplant ..... Grow BIG ROOTS !!!!!!!!!!!!! 😋 Keep it simple ...maybe!!! VIVA LA MOTTA

-Seeds were germinated directly in soil 2cm deep with 60ml of pH'd mineral water and covered with cling wrap for humidity. -Lights cycle: 18/6 - Seeds popped after 3-4 days, 100% germination -Cling wrap removed after germination -Day 1 of grow is 8/10/2020 -Day 1-4 seedlings were feed pH'd mineral water -Seedlings received their first nutrient feeding on day 5 -Nutrient water pH'd at 6.3 and oxygenated with air pump + air stone -Mycoroot was fed via top dressing Struggled to get the pH with in range, I had to mess around with pH up and down to get it in the range of 6.3. The growth looks good so far just a bit worried up about the colour of the leaves. Temp varied from 26C-28C and humidity ranged between 42-52%. I had to play around with the oscillating fan speeds and positioning as well as the amount of air inlet vents. I found that just having one opened helped get the humidity up and the temp had only a slight increase. I let the oscillating fan run on its lowest setting and put off its rotating function, I also made sure the fan was not directly hitting the plants which assisted with the humidity micro-climate. The distance of the HPS was at 90cm from top of plants after the popped out of the soil, this was readjusted to 60cm once true leaves were showing. They got the first nutrient feed on day 5.

Edit: 1st January 2020 I started playing with making time laps video. You can see the first trial video over 28h period. It starts a bit slow cuz I was still figuring out the shooting interval. The second half of the video is shot with 1 picture every 1,5min, and I love it! It’s gonna be fun playing with this! 😁 31.dec.19 Happy New Year everyone! 🎉 And let the show begin, the girls are half way and starting to show pistils. I’m doing my best to tie them down to keep an even canopy. The Ph got finally stabilized at 5.5-5.9, I’ll start getting it a bit higher next week 5.9-6.2 In order to accommodate them all the ppm seems to be in the sweet spot around 650-700 at this point. It looks like the Criticals could use more, while the slowest of the Gorillas... well, she is slow, so she needs less. The temperature gets a bit low here, but won’t do anything about it, I don’t want to spend more on the electric bill then I already do. I’m looking forward for my friend to come and pick up the DWC GZ so I can have some more space to stretch out the rest of the girls. Oh, I’m working on setting up an old iPhone in there to make time laps videos 🤞🏼Just imagine watching those buds fattening up 😃 Happy growing in the new year! 🍀

First week of flowering
