Week 8 Flw - Day 62 flw -Day 118 of cycle Luckily the bud rot did not spread out to the other branches and plants in the tent, I had been watching closely every single fay and the plants that were close to the end I chopped off. I believe it got bud rot because the plant was not getting any air from the fan, after I cut off the bud with problems and moved to a more air circulated area the plant seems to be ok.. the branch that I cut off there were buds ok that I dried out and smoke it is fire and delicious 😋 let’s go 1 more week

💙 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 💙💙💙

? Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A Week 6 | Every Plant Speaks Its Own Language Welcome back to another chapter of the 8×8 Adventure! 💚🌱 If you've been following this project from the beginning, you'll know that every plant in this room shares exactly the same environment, the same lighting, the same irrigation system, and the same general care. The only thing that truly separates them is their genetics—and that's precisely what makes this project so fascinating. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A continues her journey under a strict 12/12 light cycle from seed, growing inside the AutoPot system beneath the Future of Grow Black Series LED while being carefully documented from germination all the way to harvest. Every week reveals a little more of her personality. And this week... She had something to tell me. ⸻ 🌱 Full Steam Into Flower There is no doubt anymore. Vegetative growth is now behind us, and this beautiful lady has fully committed herself to flowering. The stretch continues, fresh pistils are appearing across the canopy, and every branch is now focused on producing future flower sites rather than new vegetative growth. The framework that was patiently built over the previous weeks is now beginning to pay dividends. Thanks to the early leaf bending, gentle canopy management, and allowing the plant to naturally find her shape, light is reaching deep into the canopy, encouraging flowering sites throughout the entire plant. Sometimes doing less allows the plant to do more. This week was exactly that. Rather than introducing additional training, I simply allowed her to continue expressing herself naturally while closely observing how she responded. ⸻ 🍽️ A Hungry Lady One thing became increasingly obvious during the week. Compared to some of the other ladies in the room, Blueberry Muffin Pheno A is asking for more food. The lighter colour developing on some of the older fan leaves isn't a cause for panic—it is simply the plant telling me that her nutritional demand has increased now that flowering is accelerating. This is one of the interesting challenges of running several different genetics together. Ideally, every plant would receive a feeding program tailored specifically to its own appetite. In reality, when multiple cultivars share the same environment and irrigation system, compromises sometimes have to be made. The important part is recognising what the plant is communicating and responding before it becomes a genuine deficiency. That's exactly what I've started doing. Over the coming weeks, nutrient strength will be increased slightly to better match her appetite while continuing to monitor how she responds. Growing is a conversation. This week, Blueberry Muffin simply spoke a little louder than the others. ⸻ 🌿 Development Despite asking for more nutrition, her overall development continues to impress. The main stem remains strong, secondary branches have stretched beautifully, and numerous flowering sites are beginning to establish themselves throughout the canopy. Looking from above, it's easy to appreciate how evenly the branches have developed. The earlier leaf bending has done exactly what it was intended to do—opening the plant without forcing it into an unnatural shape. Instead of one dominant flowering top, multiple branches are now competing for the light, creating what should become a very productive canopy over the coming weeks. Every day she looks a little less like a young plant... ...and a little more like the Blueberry Muffin I've been waiting to meet. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues providing stable conditions as flowering progresses. • 🌡️ Day temperature: 29°C • 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative humidity: 60% • 🥥 Root zone temperature: 21°C • 💦 Nutrient solution: 22°C • ⚗️ pH: 6.0 • ⚡ EC: 1.78 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: approximately 693 ppm • 💡 Light schedule: 12/12 Humidity has now been reduced compared to the previous weeks as the plants move deeper into flower, creating a more suitable environment for healthy bud development while maintaining excellent transpiration. Everything remains stable, allowing the plants to focus their energy exactly where we want it—into flowers. ⸻ 🌱 Feeding The AutoPot system continues running beautifully, providing a constant supply of fresh nutrient solution whenever the AquaValve calls for it. Current reservoir: • Plagron Terra Bloom — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Sugar royal — 1 ml/L • Plagron Pure Zym — 1 ml/L • Plagron Power Buds — 1 ml/L • pH adjusted to 6.0 As Blueberry Muffin has shown a greater appetite than some of the other plants, I'll gradually increase her nutrition over the coming weeks while carefully monitoring both leaf colour and overall plant health. The goal isn't simply to feed more. It's to feed exactly what the plant is asking for. ⸻ 📸 Behind the Lens This week's photographs tell a very honest story. The developing flower sites are becoming easier to spot, the vertical growth has slowed into a more controlled stretch, and the canopy continues filling with healthy new growth. Some of the fan leaves clearly reveal the lighter colour that first caught my attention this week, serving as a useful reminder that plants are constantly communicating if we take the time to observe them closely. Photography isn't just about capturing beautiful plants. Sometimes it's one of the best diagnostic tools a grower can have. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Over the next week, my attention will be focused on two things. First, allowing the flowers to continue stacking naturally as the stretch begins slowing down. Second, watching closely to see how Blueberry Muffin responds to the slight increase in nutrition. If everything goes according to plan, I expect the foliage to regain a richer green while the plant continues directing her energy into flower production. The foundation has been built. Now it's time to let those flowers take centre stage. ⸻ 💚 Thank You As always, a huge thank you to everyone following this journey. Whether you've been here since germination or you've only recently discovered the diary, I truly appreciate every visit, every comment, every question and every piece of advice. Projects like this become far more rewarding because they're shared with an amazing community of growers from around the world. A special thank you goes to GrowDiaries for providing the platform where we can document these adventures and continue learning from one another. To Zamnesia, thank you for the fantastic Blueberry Muffin genetics that continue to reveal more personality with every passing week. To Plagron, thank you for providing the nutrition and growing media that keep these ladies thriving from start to finish. And to Future of Grow LED, thank you for delivering the light that fuels every stage of this journey and helps these plants perform at their very best. Finally, thank you for being here. Every diary, every photograph, every success, and every lesson learned is even more meaningful because it's shared with this incredible community. Growers Love, and I'll see you all next week as Blueberry Muffin continues her journey through flower. 💚🌱

Hi liebe Community and Welcome Back! 🌿💚 Willkommen zur zweiten vergangenen Blütewoche! Hier im Bio Tabs NL Grow, erreichen wir aktuell eine höhe von 110cm. Und eine richtig krasse Breite von 65cm. Die Pflanze hat einen moderaten Stretch hingelegt. Es zeichnet sich ein durchgängis schönes und gesundes Wachstum ab. Die Pflanzen entwickeln sich super solide und wirkt sehr robust. Da es sich um reguläres Saatgut handelt habe ich die Super Cropping Methode angewendet. Das bedeutet man verletzt die Triebe der Pflanze absichtlich und knickt sie an verschiedenen Stellen ein und ein wenig ab. An diesen Stellen bilden sich dann strukturelle Verstärkungen, das der Pflanze eine verbesserte Stabilität bietet und wohl auch den Ertrag verbessern soll. Auf jeden Fall Hilft die Technik der Pflanze, später die schweren Buds (hoffentlich) besser zu tragen, ohne dass Sich die Triebe zu arg runterbiegen oder sogar abknicken. Dies Woche kam von Bio Tabs NL 10ml Bio PK 5-8 in dass Gießwasser. Die Seitentriebe bilden sich immer weiter aus. Die Blattform ist schön Breit und Buschig. Die Umgebungsgegebenheiten sind aktuell gut: ————— 🌞 Temp: 26 🌚 Temp: 18°C bis 19°C 💨 RH: 56% VPD: 1,10kPa 💡ppfd: 630 mpm ————— Viele Grüße 👋

Black Lobster - Cipher Genetics Week 2 of Bloom 💧 Watered every three days this week, with 3L of RO water, with nutrients mixed individually, in order and then finally, I pH'd the solution to 6.3. I've increased her bloom nutrients again, and I will continue to do that over the next few weeks! ✂️ No work on her this week, I tend to leave my girls alone during the first and second week of bloom. 🌸 Week 2 of bloom and shes growing really well but has remained quite bushy. Her stretch has been the average for the tent and her budsites have the beginnings of flower, so she's well and truly into bloom now! The tent is begining to fill with that beautiful scent, so odour control will have to start soon. PS: Sorry for the generic photos, I didn't want to move the girls around for pics - Black Lobster is on the center left. 💡 PPFD: ~700 ♒ VPD: 1.28kPa 🌱 Days from seed: 70 🌸 Days in Bloom: 11

Day one of this week entailed me going to the hydro shop, grabbing so blue sky organics super soil, some 1 gal fabric pots and off I went. I always pot my soil then water the pots down and wait 24 hours for everything to acclimate so as to not shock my seeds. I germinate straight into the soil. I will post more pics to beef up this week! I will be planting 2 fastbuds orange sherbet beans, 1 in a 1gal fabric pot and 1 in a 3gal from the bucket company.

RQS Titan F1 week 5 Hello friends and followers, 2/25 This has been an exciting week. My Titan girls started flower 🌼. T3 in the 3-gallon air pot is larger at 6.5 inches. Last week I noticed her new growth was getting long and thin. A sure sign the pistils will emerge in a day or two. T3 started flower 🌼on 2/25. 2/26 Surprise surprise, T3 stretched an inch overnight and T2 about a.5 inch. That stretch meant I had a busy plant workday ahead. First, I defoliated T3 since I could see what I had to work with. Then because I’ve been following @yan402 on his Titan grow, I said I was going to top her. He said its ok if done correctly and at the right time. Well, fingers crossed 🤞, I hope it was not too late or cut in yhe wrong place since T3 was already in flower. Her short (.75-1” long) stems are so close to the stem, it was difficult getting the tie down pins placed. With T2’s stretches her tippy top is just peeking above the copper pot rim. She is towering 😅 at 2.5 inches. T2 was defoliated on 2/26 as well. Her defoliation pictures above show how many I was able to trim off 7 and the leaf relative size. T2’s largest leaf is the size of a quarter and the smallest set I cut off, about the size of a penny. I keep supplementing and folar spraying with Cal-mag but the internodal chlorosis is still visible. I think Teapot gal (T2) has a copper excess.  Slowed Growth,  Fewer branches  Internodal Chlorosis  Stumpy roots (I won’t see this until I harvest and reveal the root ball) Given these symptoms of copper excess, and that RQS Titan are F1 hybrids and should be stable, I believe the height and the health differences are attributable to the copper wire teapot. They are in the same soil, same tent environment, same nutrient solution, same light, same everything. As I stated in previous discourse, I expected the overall plant to be smaller than T3 simply based on the pot size but did not expect to see such size differences so early, not to mention the nutrient issues. How I wonder? The copper wire is separated from the plant and soil by coco liner (which should be neutral, then coffee filters because I thought the soil would was out). Then the soil and plant. T2 is towering at 2.5 inches and started flower on 2/29. I expected a delay in her flowering time (4 days after T3) since she was transplanted to the teapot when T1 failed to thrive (maybe also the teapot cause?). Any time you train your plants, the stress causes delays in flowering then harvest. I defoliated T2 on 3/1 day 30. The pictures after defoliation show the tight node structure with 3 or 4 nodes crammed in only 1.5 inches of the main stem. Sheesh. So, as we enter March, we are off and growing buds. RQS says harvest 70-75 days or 40-45 days of flower. My calculations – harvest will be April 13-18. Be sure to come for my tea

Gas tax x obama runtz there is not alot to update this week. They have not grown very much the past week. They got extra dark last time when I watered and gave 2ml per gal of grow big. They are still the smallest 2 plants in the tent. They both have started making their 1st set of leaves with 5 point although the other leaves have not started to get larger yet. I don't think they have rooted solid quite yet. Happy late turkey day grow diaries world!!!! It's now day 24 from seed for all the seedlings I have going. The past few days the plants have really started to take off. There roots have really started to dig in. Every other water I am still giving 2ml per gal of fox farm grow big. I keep having to tell myself not to add any more nutes other than that. I don't want to fry my plants but I also want they to start jumping. I'm quite excited for the coming week, I think the next 7 days or so is when the plant really starts to transform and look more like a pot plant than just some random little green thing. A few days ago I decided to move the plants from under my 55w cheep amazon light to under my spider farmer 100w newer version light with the good leds in it. The plants will hopefully be ready to up pot them here soon and get them in the large tent. Sometimes when growing multiple different strains it can be really hard to balance giving to much or to little light. You don't want the faster growing plants to get to stretched out waiting on the slower plants to catch up I spend Thanksgiving day morning transplanting the plants into 2gal pots. I am useing spme promix potting soil it's my 1st time tring this soil. It is actually doing really well the roots were all white and nice looking. I think next time I'm going to add some worm casting, kelp, granular mycos, and a little bit extra perlite. I just didn't have the money with christmas coming to splurge for all the extra stuff. I got rid of 2 plants 1 of the bubble og and 1 skunk apple runtz. There is only room for 10 pots in the 2x4 tent. I will peob only bring 8 of them to flower, always good to have back ups. Yesterday I also stuck the plants back under the 500w medicgrow mini sun 2 in my 2x4 tent. They did great under it the 2nd half the day I was happy they didn't get stressed. I had put them under that light a little early about 10 days ago or so. I am expecting in a week these plants will ge going crazy with growth

Oh my! Fast version indeed! These ladies are well stacked already. Just doing fantastic as they power their way through bloom. Definitely look like some whopper colas in the making! I'm fucking amped. Super healthy and super sexy. They are the furthest developed in this wave of flowering plants. Stead and speed baby! They got treated with Dr zhymes as a preventative. That will basically wrap up their treatments ...possibly once more with lost coast. Upped the pk intake as they are blooming strong now. Gotta keep those engines well fuelled. Response was stellar. Happy happy happy ladies. Until next update. Happy growing and stay lit fam.
