2024/01/20 : as it survived, shiva skunk got a decent pot (1 gallon smartpot 50% canna coco pro / 50% hydroton) and 3 others are going on LST... 3 days growth : afghani #1 - 19.0 cm (+3.0) sensi skunk - 17.5 cm (+4.5) hindu kush - 16.5 cm (+3.0) shiva skunk - 11.5 cm (+2.0) 2024/01/23 : shiva skunk looks bad, with leaves going down and yellowing... it didn't like its transplant. The others are looking OK. I may have seen first pistils... The heights are : afghani #1 - 22.0 cm (+3.0) sensi skunk - 18.5 cm (+1.0) hindu kush - 18.5 cm (+2.0) shiva skunk - 11.0 cm (-0.5) 2024/01/24 : spayed with Foliar Spray from B.A.C. last night, don't know if it was OK for shiva skunk, we'll see. 3 others are preflowering without a doubt now. afghani #1 - 24.0 cm (+2.0) sensi skunk - 20.0 cm (+1.5) hindu kush - 21.0 cm (+2.5) shiva skunk - 11.5 cm (+0.5) 2024/01/25 : shiva skunk is struggling but it's not done yet. And I think stretch began for others.

Just changed the solution on the ones in buckets & top fed the seedling in the soilless mix. They're all looking pretty healthy overall but some of the new growth is looking questionable. I will probably use just ph adjusted tap water on the next resoviour change in order to eliminate the risk of they're being a nutrient buildup or some form of toxicity. πŸ€”Other than that I topped again this week and I'll probably be taking some cutting from this strain on at the next res change. βœ‚οΈπŸ’‰

No reservoir change this week in the end, just top ups and nutrient top ups - If I stop being lazy, I might do a complete change out tomorrow (D85). They're getting really frosty now. Can't wait to make some leafy THC snow in a few weeks time after I install my 24w UV-B tube above the canopy. Starting to pack on some lateral buds as well, pretty much mirroring last grow in terms of growth so far, without hacked off tops this time :) Can't really do anything about the wind burn, just got to accept it, otherwise the fan is on too low and doesn't move air properly. Solid argument against excessive leaf removal here: https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/community/photons_corner/to-defoliate-or-not-to-defoliate/ --UPDATE D89-- After the reservoir change on D85, I upped the pure blend tea to 10ml/US gallon, by god she's exploded. I think as a whole, the bud mass is almost on par with my last grow when it was chopped and there is still another 40-45 days left in her... Fingers crossed I don't fuck this one up 🀐 Thanks for stopping by!

Hoping to have more space soon when I chop my gg4 sherbert , I have four plants in flower in one tent and its pretty overcrowded and too humid as a result. The gg4 is not fading or maturing as fast as I would like but I guess I'm just gonna have to be patient

The harvest day has come! 😍 I can't get this song out of my head... How I Make My Tincture / Vape Juice Decarboxylate the material Place about 15 g in the oven and heat for 1 hour at 120 Β°C. Break it up Once cooled, break the material into smaller pieces. Don’t grind it into a powder. Ultrasonic extraction Put the material into an ultrasonic cleaner with the heater set to 70 Β°C. Add 400ml of PG/VG base liquid. When the temperature is steady, let it run for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Filter First strain the liquid through coffee filters, then filter again using a lab-grade vacuum filter. Use Fill the finished liquid into vape cartridges or take it orally. Both work well. Enjoy πŸ˜‡

This plant is a beauty!! Ivamba little worried about how close she is to the light, but my light is as high as it can go and my plant is as low as it can go so, if anyone has any suggestions let me know. I am super happy with this 420 Fast Buds plant. Today is day 41 and this Gorilla Cookies is blowing my mind. Thank you 420 Fast Buds!!

πŸ’™ Project Blue Tent – Week 5 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. This week has been one of the most exciting since the project began. Plant A has responded beautifully to last week's topping, the feeding adjustments have brought back the deep green colour we were looking for, the SCROG net has officially been installed, and one important upgrade has made the entire irrigation system safer and more reliable. Sometimes the biggest progress isn't measured by the plants alone. Sometimes it's the grow room that evolves alongside them. ──────────────────────── 🌱 Week Five – Everything Comes Together Looking back over the past few weeks, it's incredible to see how quickly everything has started coming together. After establishing a healthy root system and recovering perfectly from topping, Plant A has exploded with vigorous vegetative growth. The canopy has become noticeably fuller, side branches have accelerated dramatically, and every growing tip seems eager to compete for its place beneath the light. One of the biggest improvements this week has been her colour. The slightly lighter green we observed over the previous weeks has completely disappeared after increasing the nutrient strength. The foliage has returned to a rich, healthy green, confirming that the plants were simply asking for a little more food. It's always satisfying when the plants respond exactly as you hoped. Sometimes they don't need rescuing. Sometimes they just need to be heard. ──────────────────────── 🌑️ The Blue Tent Environment The environment continues to be one of the strongest aspects of this project. Even with warmer summer conditions outside, the Zamnesia ecosystem has continued providing a remarkably stable environment, allowing the plants to focus entirely on growing instead of constantly adapting to fluctuations. This week's average conditions were: β€’ 🌑️ Day Temperature: 30Β°C β€’ πŸŒ™ Night Temperature: 27Β°C β€’ πŸ’§ Relative Humidity: 58% β€’ βš—οΈ pH: 5.8 β€’ ⚑ EC: 1.92 mS/cm β€’ πŸ’¨ COβ‚‚: approximately 450 ppm β€’ πŸ’‘ Light Schedule: 18/6 β€’ β˜€οΈ PPFD: approximately 350 The Phytonaut LED continues producing an even spread of light across the canopy, while the Grow Environment Controller quietly keeps everything stable in the background. When the environment remains consistent, every adjustment we make becomes easier to evaluate. ──────────────────────── πŸ₯₯ Feeding Update This week's feeding program remained wonderfully simple. One of the things I'm genuinely enjoying about growing with the Plagron Hydro line is just how uncomplicated everything is. There are no complicated recipes or endless bottles to keep track of. The plants are currently receiving: β€’ Hydro A – 1.9 ml/L β€’ Hydro B – 1.9 ml/L β€’ Hydro Roots – 1 ml/L Along with very small pH adjustments whenever necessary. That's it. Coming from many years of growing organically in living soil, I've been pleasantly surprised by how stable the nutrient solution remains throughout the week. Once everything is mixed and adjusted, it simply stays where it should. Even better, the increased feeding strength has delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The richer green colour has returned across all four plants, new growth is vigorous, and the entire tent looks happier because of it. Sometimes simple really is better. ──────────────────────── πŸ’§ Learning From Experience – Installing the Drainage System One of the biggest upgrades this week wasn't made to the plants themselves. It was made to the room. Back in Week Three we experienced a small flood caused by the drip irrigation system. It wasn't anything catastrophicβ€”we cleaned everything up with towels and carried onβ€”but it reminded me of something I've always believed. Automation is wonderful. As long as it's supported by good safety systems. Rather than hoping it would never happen again, I decided to improve the entire setup. This week I installed the Mars Hydro Auto Drainage System alongside the existing drip irrigation system. The concept is beautifully simple. The drip system feeds each plant from the main reservoir. Any runoff is collected inside specially designed trays beneath each grow bag. That runoff then flows into a small collection reservoir, where a compact pump automatically sends the water back into the main reservoir. The result is a much cleaner, safer and more efficient system that dramatically reduces the chance of standing runoff accumulating inside the tent. It creates something very close to a closed-loop irrigation system while keeping maintenance incredibly straightforward. Good automation isn't about removing the grower. It's about removing unnecessary problems so we can spend more time observing the plants instead of cleaning the floor. ──────────────────────── πŸ•ΈοΈ SCROG Time Another huge milestone this week was finally installing the SCROG net. Last week's topping created multiple new leaders, and this week those branches were growing so vigorously that it became the perfect moment to begin shaping the canopy. The goal of a Screen of Green isn't simply to hold branches in place. It's about guiding every branch horizontally, creating an even canopy where every future flowering site receives equal access to light. Rather than allowing one dominant stem to race ahead, the screen encourages every branch to become a potential top. Plant A has responded beautifully. Her branches remain flexible, healthy and easy to work with, making the first stage of weaving both enjoyable and incredibly rewarding. The framework is now beginning to take shape. ──────────────────────── 🌿 Plant A Herself Every week this phenotype reveals a little more of her personality. She isn't the largest plant inside the Blue Tent. She isn't trying to be. Instead, she's developing into one of the most balanced plants in the room. Her branching is wonderfully symmetrical, the internodal spacing remains tight, and every new shoot seems perfectly positioned to become another future flowering site. The topping has encouraged vigorous lateral growth, while the improved feeding has given her that rich green colour that instantly catches my attention every time I open the tent. Looking beneath the canopy, her structure is clean, open and well organised, which should provide excellent airflow as flowering approaches. She's becoming exactly the kind of plant I enjoy growing. Calm. Balanced. Healthy. And quietly preparing for what's coming next. ──────────────────────── πŸ‘€ Looking Ahead Next week will be all about continuing to guide the branches through the SCROG while allowing the canopy to spread naturally across the screen. Most of the hard work has already been done. Now it's simply a matter of patience, gentle training and allowing the plants to keep doing what they do best. If they continue responding the way they have over the past week, I expect the Blue Tent to become a sea of perfectly level tops before long. Sometimes the biggest improvements don't happen because we force them. They happen because we create the right conditions and allow nature to do the rest. ──────────────────────── πŸ’™ Thank You A huge thank you goes out to Zamnesia for making this entire project possibleβ€”from these beautiful Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A massive thank you as well to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags and the Hydro nutrient line that is feeding these ladies every single day. A special thank you as well to Mars Hydro for designing the drip irrigation and automatic drainage system that has become such a valuable addition to this grow. Although this isn't a sponsored product, it's one of those pieces of equipment that simply works. After our little flooding adventure a couple of weeks ago, this system has brought an extra level of safety, cleanliness and peace of mind to the grow room, allowing me to spend more time enjoying the plants and less time worrying about runoff management. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers from all around the world a place to document, learn and share our journeys together. And finally… Thank you to every single person reading these updates. Whether you’ve been following since day one, recently joined the adventure, leave comments every week, simply stop by to look at the photos, or even quietly disagree with my methodsβ€”you all contribute to making this community what it is. I genuinely appreciate every view, every conversation, every piece of advice, every question, every like, every criticism, and every bit of support. I hope you’re all having an amazing week, and I can’t wait to show you how these beautiful ladies evolve in the next update. Until then… Growers Love, happy growing, and I’ll see you all next week. πŸŒ±πŸ’™

1/14: This morning, I did a foliar application of big bloom and fulvic acid, then about 5 hours later I watered them with about a half-gallon of rainwater each and added armor si, humic acid, endoboost myco/tricho, liquid molasses, and a bunch of cal-mag. Today, I also I wired up and mounted my new samsung sun board strips (660nm/730nm) and my Solacure FlowerPower UVB fixture. I'm running the deep red/far red bud boosters a few hours per day right now, but will run them for the entire photoperiod once I start flowering them. I'll run the UVB for 4 * 15-minute sessions a day for the full flowering cycle, and if they don't protest too much I'll increase each session by 5 minutes and evaluate again. Some strains are more forgiving than others and I've got 5 different strains in this space...so really not sure much time I'll get away with exposing them to the deadly rays without damaging them too much...😈 1/15: I received one of the rapid led/growmau far red initiator pucks today. With the placement of my UVB light, I'm realizing I'll need another far red puck to have even and intense far red coverage, so I'm ordering another with Prime delivery and waiting to start flowering until I receive it. I sprayed them down really well with ph adjusted rainwater tonight to rinse off nutrient build-up from foliar applications. 1/16: I'm really excited to try flowering under 14/10. I grew photos indoors on an off for 15 years before I semi-retired. If I added up all the additional flowering time I could have done through the years if LED technology existed, I'd have had an extra truckload of bud to smoke. I did another application of Axiom Harpin a|b Proteins this evening, right before dark. I'm expecting a big growth burst this week, leading up to the flower stretch. I really need them to trigger under 14/10 within 4 or 5 daysπŸ™ ...if not, I'll switch to 13/11 and wait a few more daysπŸ™πŸ˜Ÿ..if still no pistils are poppin, I'll go to 12/12 and chalk it up as bad luck or varietal indifference to Pr and Pfr manipulation. 1/17: I fed each of them about 3/4 gallon of full strength veg nutes. This will be the last. I'll go with half-strength veg and half-strength bloom for a week, then go with full strength bloom nutrients until I start flushing them in 6-8 weeks. 1/18: I installed the second far-red flowering initiator today and got all my timers configured for flowering: ========================================= timer#1 - power strip with qb's and red boosters Β  10:00am -12:00amΒ  timer#2 - (dual/independent setting) Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  sideA- 3-way cube with uva bars Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  10am - 3pm Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β 7pm - 11pm Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  sideB- flowerpower uvb Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β 1pm - 1:15pm Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β 4pm - 4:15pm Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β 7pm - 7:15pm Β Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  Β  11pm - 11:15pm timer#3 - far red pucks Β  11:00pm - 12:15am timer#4 - sub-canopy tube Β Β 10amΒ  - 1pm Β  Β 3pmΒ  -Β  6pm Β  Β 8pmΒ  - 11pm ======================================== I also did some testing on the timers and sealed myself into the closet to check for any light leaks. All good.πŸ‘Œ 1/19: Looks like the FIM job didn't take on one of them..but she's got perfect symmetry. WIll probably have to just top her again next week...gonna be a tall one I think. Tonight is their first long night. It's ON!πŸ‘ 1/20: I watered them today with about a half gallon each. I'm seeing calcium and magnesium deficiences here and there, so added some boomerang and heavy cal-mag-Fe along with liquid molasses, humic acid, and endoboost myco. I also foliar fed with big bloom and fulvic acid. That's it for week 4-
