Just finishing week 4. Damn fungus gnats got me down. Laying some mosquito dunk water on them and expect / hope to have that eradicated soon. Going to do my second leaf stripping in first day or two and a second top dressing, which I do every two weeks up to week 5 or 6.

Back to the daily uploads again now hopefully it can stay like that but ya know we are busy people .. plants are doing ..... I’ll let you answer that 😜 Not too much of an update really but the plants are doing well every plant is flowering and it smells great in the tent this week I plan to stop with the plant magic grow and only feed it bloom from now on till later stages I.e flushing which I’ve been doing my research about just to figure when it’s done and how it’s done perfectly right .i guess my only major Q would be about defoliation as I’ve read It’s good to be done up to 3 times but should be done very careful when flowering .. I’ve already defoliated twice one before flowering and during and just was wondering when would be my best shot at doing the final defoliation regarding results wise. Ohh and it seems like taking pics just when the lights come on is a good idea so you can all see without that bastard yellow lighting 😸 As this was my first grow ever I’m quite buzzing with how I’m getting on I guess research goes a very long way but its never too late so never say never And I’ll keep watching my plants like trump watches twitter 😹 P.s for some reason my temps won’t change on this and I’m confused af to why but generally speaking temp is normally 25.5-28 Obviously with the uk dodgy weather recently I’ve had to keep an eagle eye on the girls Happy growing my people 🤞🏾

Decided to give them a break from nutrients this week and gave them a good watering without any nutrients to clear out the soil, will start feeding again with next feed. The girls are growing well. I keep thinking the Candy Kush plant 2 is going to be ready in a week then deciding to leave her for another couple of weeks. I'm hoping she'll be ready this coming Monday, she'll be 78 days and I'm running out. The other girls look like then need another 3 weeks at least. The buds are getting fatter every day :D These last few weeks test my patience so much.

Welcome back to another week, finally decided to flip to flower as these girls do grow pretty quickly in DWC. Aiming for some nice quality buds bit also a decent yield of at least 1 gram per watt of light. Nutrient solution has not been changing to complete flower schedule yet but I will be sure to switch it over in a few days. The crucial part now is keeping the EC and pH in a good range to avoid any deficiencies or Nutrient lock out. Let's see what the stretch brings the first few weeks. Stay tuned, and I'll be back for the by the end of the week to report some video feedback. End of the week has ending with a heavy defoliation session. Plants were getting bushy and covering potential tops so that needed to be addressed. For now, it will be selective defoliation once they have recovered, which should be in 2/3 days. Let's watch them bounce back. Stay tuned for week 2. Check out my YouTube and Instagram channel for a closer look. (Link on profile)

Slow groth, salad head, but its still gonna produce An 8th Generation autoflowering strain. The stable hybridization of two excellent strains developed from US genetics. The product of crossing a specially selected very aromatic and resinous elite clone from the popular Mimosa family [Clementine (Tangie x Lemon Skunk) x Purple Punch (Larry OG x Grand Daddy Purple)] with our own Bruce Banner Auto (SWS91). Mimosa Bruce Banner XL Auto (SWS101) is an extra-large autoflowering strain with highly resinous and aromatic buds. These plants have a truly exquisite scent that is particularly sweet and attractive, with shades of citrus fruits reminiscent of mandarin and strawberry, fresh cypress, and pleasant undertones of smoked cheese. It has a potent, happy, even euphoric, and long-lasting effect that enhances the imagination and creativity. Some plants develop flowers and leaves with purple and reddish hues at the end of the flowering period.

1/22 Week 4! Folded in some CalMag temporarily for a slight def showing up in Jool, foliar of same on all. Recovering nicely from topping will decide on 2cd later Jool recovered her normal color in just a few hours after feedings. Can pull the Cal-Mag for a while. Thought of increasing nuets a tad to 10ml but no need to rush just may have to hit them with Cal-Mag once in a while. Time to hit the roots again 10ml/gal Kangaroots one feed only 1/25 Leaving in a small amount - 2ml/gal - of Cal-Mag with CocoTek more for peace of mind than anything else Keeping them small till I have a place to flower then... then we pour it on. 1/27 Continuing to walk the line between keeping them healthy and keeping the size down - working ok so far Growing nicely although some concern found on Zhaan, feeding pattern on just the two tops shown, no where else. Nothing seen , sticky trap put up will check often for further. Not grabbing the Soap just yet see if anything else pokes up 1/28 Sticky trap clean so no flying critters Think hes right about strange leaves but I want to add I may have done some of this during topping. Just from what I see Bit of a conundrum the plants are near-ish to the size we wanted to flower them at BUT there is no room at the Inn, (sativas...) so we have one path to getting this done. Keeping them as small as we can without risking defs for another week then beginning the flowering in the veg tent Moya while the sativa finishes in 2 weeks. Thats one week of flower in the small tent at best, not sure about that. I swear two tents and one is a 4x4 and still space problems... good to have that problem too 😃 That's the plan but we know there is about a ton of crap that will go wrong like that sativa taking longer. Re-eval in a week Feeding remains as before 1/29 Pic and vid to end week no further issues and the tent is now full. Good problem to have but its convinced us that flowering in Moya is problematic Raised lights to 24" to see if they will go up instead of out for a while. Defol the bottom end of the plants just a bit in attempt to encourage some vertical growth with that as well.

No problems this week. I only switched the places in the Tend because one of my purple chems became a little bit too big.

I watered her three times this week with 1.2 liters of rainwater, and on the last occasion, I did also provide it with nutrients. At the beginning of the week the runoff water indicates that the pH level might be a bit high as 7.1. At the end of the week I've managed to lower the pH of the water, and now it receives water with a pH of 5.8. The runoff was 1800-1900 ppm, and 7 ph, so I will continue to lower the ph, and adjust nutrients too. Overall, she seems to be doing well, and I have no complaints.

Oct 5-11 Vegetative steering? Aiming for: leaf Temp -80f CO2 -1250ppm VPD +1.04 (65%/75F) Vegetative Steering 6P1/ 2P2/1P3 Each P1 water event is 15 minutes apart. Seems to far apart. I think i Need More water events, with less time in between events in order to get a strong veg signal? Watering for 2min(110)ml May need 3min waterings(currently not getting runoff) I have to hand water every two days. Day 11 flo 18.5inches tall 12inches from light(moved to 16) 1300ppm Day 18 Defol Sprout chickpea(2days) Soaked 1cup for 4 hours then rinsed. Completely covered then Soaked overnight. Rinsed then poured water out and layed jar on the side for one day. Blended with water(aloe vera and coconut) Day 19&20 foilarspray Alfalfa/Chickpea SST with Kelp,aloe,coconut,silicate,microbes brewed for 1.5 days Day 21 Fed the Tea blend Leaf temp 80 65kluxx Co2 100 Plants look like they responded well to the foilar. The flowers at this stage are my best performance yet .crop steering may be working?

I flushed the pots once this week. And use once with enhancer and a very small dose of shrot flowering fertilizer. And I tried very hard to lower the humidity and make the daytime temperature not more than 25 degrees 💐🛸👽💥1

Somewhat slacking with detailed photos from this week, been busy with the holidays/ family etc. hopefully should have a little more time to take some good ones for next week.. Not much to say, they are getting quite big! some more lower branches and leaves were removed and I've been watering every other day, about .5-.75 gal per plant until I see some run off and the top looks evenly moist. End of week 1 of flower and there are Lots of white pistils, a pleasant smell (controlled by my filter/vent) and some major stretching happening on the strongest branches. Already raised the light by a few inches twice now too keep the distance over 12 inches from these stretchy ones! 😏 Also found a large healthy looking seed in my grinder that I've saved (Mac 1 supposedly, its good smoke)

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 4 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from Project Blue Tent! For anyone joining us for the first time, this project follows four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia, each documented in its own diary from seed to harvest. Although they all live inside the exact same environment, receive the same nutrition, grow under the same lights and experience the same conditions every single day, every plant is allowed to tell her own story. That's one of the things I love most about growing from seed. We're not simply growing four plants. We're discovering four different personalities. Everything inside this tent is built around the Zamnesia ecosystem, while the ladies are growing in Plagron Premium Coco Growbags and being fed exclusively with the Plagron Hydro nutrient line. Today it's time to spend some quality time with Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B. ⸻ 🌱 Week Four – Small Plant, Big Potential This week felt like another important milestone for Plant B. While she remains slightly more compact than her sister, she's developing exactly the way I hoped she would. Her internodal spacing stays beautifully tight, the side branches continue to stack evenly around the main stem, and the overall structure is incredibly symmetrical. Rather than stretching upwards, she's investing her energy into building a strong foundation first. Personally, I love seeing this type of growth. Plants like these often become a dream to train later on because they're naturally dense, balanced and eager to fill every available space once they're encouraged to branch out. The stem continues to thicken nicely, while subtle purple pigmentation is becoming more noticeable on the petioles and main branches, adding another little touch of personality to this phenotype. ⸻ 🌡️ The Blue Tent Environment One of the biggest goals with Project Blue Tent is maintaining consistency. By keeping every environmental factor as stable as possible, the differences we observe come primarily from the plants themselves rather than changing conditions. This week's average environmental conditions were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 27°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 67% • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.88 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • ☀️ PPFD: approximately 350 The Zamnesia Phytonaut LED continues providing a beautiful, even light distribution across the entire canopy while the Grow Environment Controller keeps everything running smoothly throughout the day. Stable conditions allow the plants to focus on one thing... Growing. ⸻ 🥥 Feeding Update – Learning Coco One Week at a Time One thing that really caught my attention this week was the overall leaf colour. Just like her sister, Plant B remains incredibly healthy, but she's showing a lighter shade of green than I personally like to see. Fortunately, plants are excellent communicators. Before deficiencies become serious, they often give subtle hints that they're ready for a little more nutrition, and I believe that's exactly what these ladies were telling me. Rather than waiting for problems to develop, I decided to make a gradual adjustment. The feeding schedule is now: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.8 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.8 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L I also introduced a small amount of Plagron pH Min to help keep the reservoir perfectly stable over longer periods. One thing that has genuinely impressed me throughout this grow is just how stable the Plagron Hydro line has been. Once the reservoir is mixed and dialled in, the pH barely moves throughout the entire week. Occasionally it may require the smallest correction, but compared to what I expected when starting coco, the stability has honestly been outstanding. Coming from years of growing in living soil, I'm really enjoying learning how responsive and predictable coco can be when small adjustments are made instead of large corrections. Growing really is one continuous learning experience. ⸻ ✂️ Topping Day – Building Tomorrow's Canopy This week also marked Plant B's first High Stress Training session. She received her very first topping. Unlike Low Stress Training, where branches are gently bent into position, topping intentionally removes the plant's main growing tip to interrupt apical dominance. By doing this, the plant redirects energy into the side branches instead of focusing almost exclusively on one central leader. Many growers choose to top much earlier, sometimes above the second or third node. Personally, I prefer allowing the plant to develop a little longer before making that first cut. Waiting gives me a stronger stem, additional secondary branches and, most importantly, many more growing tips to work with later. My goal isn't simply to create two tops. My goal is to build the framework that will eventually fill an entire SCROG net. Everything we're doing today is preparing these plants for the weeks ahead. Because topping is considered High Stress Training, timing is important. I only perform it on vigorous, actively growing plants that are showing strong health. Although the foliage is still a lighter green than I'd ideally like, Plant B's posture, growth rate and overall vigour clearly showed she was more than ready for the procedure. The cut itself was made using my Zamnesia Pruning Scissors, giving a clean, precise cut with minimal tissue damage. Sometimes the smallest tools make the biggest difference. ⸻ 🌿 Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B The more time I spend watching this phenotype, the more I appreciate her personality. She's compact. She's balanced. She's methodical. Rather than racing upwards, she seems determined to build a solid foundation first. Every branch appears evenly spaced, the stem continues gaining strength, and even after topping she looks completely unfazed. It's always fascinating how two sister plants can respond so similarly while still expressing their own unique character. Plant B feels like the quiet achiever. She's simply getting on with the job. ⸻ 👀 Looking Ahead Next week should be a very exciting one. With the feeding now increased and the topping behind her, I'll be watching closely to see how quickly the two new leaders begin taking over. I'm expecting the canopy to start opening naturally as the side branches accelerate and the overall structure becomes wider. Over the coming weeks we'll continue shaping these ladies, preparing them for the SCROG while allowing each phenotype to reveal more of its own personality. The adventure is only just beginning. ⸻ 💙 Thank You A huge thank you goes to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these fantastic Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A heartfelt thank you as well to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line that continues teaching me something new every single week. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers from around the world a place to document their journeys, learn from one another and build such an incredible community. And finally... Thank you to every single person following along. Whether you've been here since day one, recently discovered these diaries, leave comments every week, quietly observe from the background or simply enjoy watching these plants develop, your support truly means a lot. I hope you're all having an amazing week, and I can't wait to show you how these beautiful ladies continue evolving in the next update. Until then... Growers Love, happy growing, and I'll see you all next week. 🌱💙 P.S. One thing I love about documenting every single step is that these diaries become more than simple grow logs. Hopefully someone who has never topped a plant before can look at this week's photos, understand the process, see exactly where the cut was made, and feel a little more confident when the time comes to do it themselves. If these updates help even one grower become more confident with their own garden, then they've already achieved something special. 💙🌱
