💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 3 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another update from Project Blue Tent! For those joining this journey 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 share the exact same environment, nutrients, and growing conditions, every plant is allowed to tell its own story and reveal its own unique expression. Everything in this tent is built around the Zamnesia ecosystem, while the ladies are growing inside Plagron Premium Coco Growbags and being fed exclusively with the Plagron Hydro nutrient line. Today we’re taking a closer look at Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B. ⸻ 🌱 Week Three – Building Momentum Week three has been another very encouraging one. Plant B has settled beautifully into her coco home and has noticeably increased her pace of growth throughout the week. She began this update as a compact young plant, but over the last several days she’s filled out nicely, producing larger fan leaves and noticeably stronger apical growth. Her structure remains short and sturdy, with tight internodal spacing and excellent symmetry. The side branches are beginning to develop with confidence, giving an early indication that she’ll produce a well-balanced canopy in the weeks ahead. One detail that immediately catches my attention is how vigorous the newest growth appears. Every day the center becomes denser, showing that the roots are now well established and supporting increasingly rapid development. ⸻ 🌡️ Environmental Conditions One of the goals with Project Blue Tent is consistency. The entire ecosystem continues to perform exactly as intended, maintaining a stable environment throughout the week while the Phytonaut LED provides an even light distribution across the canopy. Average conditions this week were: * 🌡️ Day temperature: 27°C * 🌙 Night temperature: 25°C * 💧 Relative humidity: 67% * ⚗️ pH: 5.8 * ⚡ EC: 1.61 mS/cm * 💨 CO₂: approximately 450 ppm * 💡 Light schedule: 18/6 * ☀️ PPFD: approximately 350 At this intensity the plants receive plenty of energy to encourage compact vegetative growth without unnecessary stretching, while the stable environment allows them to focus entirely on developing healthy roots and foliage. ⸻ 🥥 Feeding Adjustments Coming from years of growing almost exclusively in living soil, growing in coco has definitely become an enjoyable learning experience. This week all four plants began showing a slightly lighter shade of green than I normally like to see. Nothing dramatic or concerning, but enough to tell me they were ready for a little more nutrition. Instead of waiting for deficiencies to develop, I prefer making gradual adjustments before the plants begin struggling. For that reason I increased the base feeding schedule. Current nutrition now consists of: * Plagron Hydro A — 1.6 ml/L * Plagron Hydro B — 1.6 ml/L * Plagron Hydro Roots — maintained at the previous dosage This small increase raised the EC slightly and should provide enough additional nitrogen and overall nutrition for the foliage to regain a richer green over the coming week. Every grow teaches something new, and coco rewards small, measured corrections rather than aggressive changes. ⸻ 🚿 The Unexpected Flood No grow is ever completely free of surprises. This week mine arrived in the form of an irrigation mishap. After switching on the irrigation system, one small mistake resulted in the tent flooding far more than planned. Thankfully, it looked much worse than it actually was. The first step was simply shutting everything down, grabbing a pile of towels, cleaning the tent thoroughly and checking that every component was still working correctly. Fortunately, because these plants are growing in coco, the situation remained under control. Coco retains excellent oxygen levels even after heavy watering, making it much more forgiving than traditional soil in situations like this. After allowing everything to dry back slightly, normal irrigation resumed without any visible stress to the plants. Sometimes growing isn’t about avoiding mistakes. It’s about solving them calmly when they happen. We’re already working on a permanent improvement for the irrigation setup, and I’ll happily share that solution once everything is installed in the coming weeks. ⸻ 🌿 Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B This phenotype is developing into a very attractive little plant. She has a sturdy central stem, broad leaves, and compact spacing between nodes, giving her a naturally bushy appearance even without any training. The petioles are beginning to show subtle reddish-purple pigmentation, while the newest leaves emerge with beautiful vigor before gradually maturing into the larger fan leaves. Although her colour is still a touch lighter than my personal preference, her posture tells the real story. Leaves are reaching upward. Growth is continuous. The plant looks happy. Sometimes plants communicate much more through their posture than through their colour alone, and Plant B certainly appears eager to keep growing. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should be an exciting milestone. With the feeding now adjusted and the roots continuing to colonize the entire growbag, I expect noticeably faster vegetative growth and stronger lateral branching. I’ll continue monitoring leaf colour, growth rate and overall structure while preparing these ladies for the next stage of development. Every week they seem to reveal a little more of their individual personalities, and I’m excited to see exactly where Plant B takes us from here. ⸻ 💙 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 sincere thank you as well to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line that is helping these plants thrive. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers around the world a place to document their journeys, exchange ideas, and learn from one another every single day. And finally, thank you to every single person following along. Whether you’ve been here since the very beginning, recently discovered these diaries, leave comments every week, quietly observe from the background, or simply enjoy watching these plants develop, your support is genuinely appreciated. This project is about sharing the complete journey—the successes, the unexpected challenges, and everything in between. I hope you’re all having an amazing week, and I look forward to seeing you again in the next update as these beautiful ladies continue their adventure. Until next time… Growers Love, happy growing, and take care everyone! 🌱💙 P.S. One final shout-out has to go to the Zamnesia ecosystem itself. As messy as the irrigation mishap looked, the Zamnesia tent tray proved exactly why it’s part of the setup. Every drop of water was safely contained inside the tent, with absolutely nothing leaking onto the floor. What could have become a much bigger problem ended up being nothing more than grabbing a few towels, drying everything up, and carrying on with the grow. Sometimes you only discover how valuable a piece of equipment is when something goes wrong—and this week, the tray passed that test with flying colours. Huge thanks to Zamnesia for designing an ecosystem that’s ready for real-world growing, not just the perfect days. 💙🌱

Starting to follow a feeding chart that I’ve put together myself, but they’re looking great so far it’s working out pretty good. Everything is green, luscious and healthy.

She is really starting to smell now. Hairs are turning orange and shes looking great. I just got a USB Microscope and checked the trichomes and they are looking mostly clear with some cloudy,

Ho defogliato parecchio questa settimana perché molti siti di fioritura rimanevano nell' ombra e quindi ho scelto solo i più alti e quelli più illuminati il resto ho eliminato tutto (pop corn li mangio al cinema)😂 ora speriamo tutto per il verso giusto. Vedendo la fioritura sembra molto rigogliosa....speriamo dai, grazie a tutti per essere passati di qui!

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.

What’s up Growmie’s!? New grow, new genetics Truffle Treats by BeLeaf. It’s been busy, I’ve had a few grows going at the same time, and it’s getting hard to keep up, but this Grow deserves to be documented, if the pheno is there, they should be FROSTY ☃️ Started by soaking 4 beans in a glass of distillled water with a shot of hydrogen peroxide for about 6 hours. Once soaked, I planted directly into starter pots and placed humidity domes to increase the RH. Temps were set to about 78 degrees and RH was hovering near 75% or more. It took 36 hours after planting for me to see the first sprouts, and throughout the day they all popped up.

brothers sisters. this journey was wonderful. From the first month I knew this was going to be a wonderful experience and I was right. with the flower was not lead time no problem. I would recommend this model to anyone who likes fragrant flowers. and especially giant flowers. thank you for watching. and many thanks belong mainly to the @originalsensibleseeds . 💚💚💚

Week 3 The 2 first crucial weeks are over. Plants are healthy, vigorous 👌 Daylight 6h35 / 21h20 = 14h45 Sunny days - 26 °C Continue to stimulate the rooting system.

Not much change, just growth. Giving them all one more week to gain strength, then will flip to flower next Friday.

Week 2 G14 started adding biobizz grow along side nitrozyme everything looks perfect staying short and bushy il put a net on top in a few weeks when shes big enough I've started to tuck the leaves in on day 13.

Soon flipping to 12/12

🇩🇪 Woche 8 – Mentha de Croco (Terpyz) 🌱🔥 Diese Woche war ein großer Schritt für die beiden Mentha de Croco 🌿🚀 Seit Dienstag stehen beide endlich in ihren finalen 30L Endtöpfen draußen und wurden in Bio Hanferde von Sonnenerde eingepflanzt 🌍 Dazu etwas Great White von Plant success an die Wurzeln. Beide Töpfe wurden zusätzlich mit Biofaser von Sonnenerde gemulcht, um die Feuchtigkeit besser zu halten und das Bodenleben zu unterstützen 🍂🔬 – perfekte Living Soil Bedingungen. Die Pflanzen haben den Umzug problemlos verkraftet und sehen weiterhin topfit aus 💪💚 Mit aktuell 66 cm und 58 cm Höhe entwickeln sich beide sehr kräftig und robust. Die Blattfarbe bleibt sattgrün und insgesamt wirken die Pflanzen absolut vital ☀️🌱 Heute am Samstag gab es die erste Runde selbst angesetzten Komposttee ✨ Dafür wurde 24 Stunden lang ein Beutel mit zwei Händen Wurmhumus und etwa einem Esslöffel Kelp in einem Eimer Wasser mit Luftpumpe und Sprudelstein belüftet 🌊 Der Tee wurde anschließend pur gegossen, um das Bodenleben direkt nach dem Umtopfen zusätzlich zu aktivieren 🔥🌿 Bis jetzt läuft alles genau nach Plan und die Pflanzen scheinen sich im neuen Setup richtig wohlzufühlen 🙌🌳 ⸻ 🇬🇧 Week 8 – Mentha de Croco (Terpyz) 🌱🔥 This week marked a big milestone for the two Mentha de Croco plants 🌿🚀 Since Tuesday, both have been transplanted into their final 30L outdoor pots filled with Bio Hanferde by Sonnenerde and a little Bit of great white from plant success 🌍 Both pots were also mulched with Sonnenerde Biofaser to help retain moisture and support microbial life 🍂🔬 – perfect living soil conditions. The plants handled the transplant without any issues and continue to look fantastic 💪💚 At 66 cm and 58 cm tall, both plants are growing vigorously and appear very robust. The foliage remains deep green and overall vitality is excellent ☀️🌱 Today, on Saturday, they received their first homemade compost tea ✨ The tea was brewed for 24 hours using two handfuls of worm castings and about one tablespoon of kelp in a bucket of water, continuously aerated with an air pump and air stone 🌊 It was applied undiluted to help boost soil biology after transplanting 🔥🌿 So far, everything is going exactly according to plan and the plants seem very happy in their new setup 🙌

Swapped out a light that’s slightly too big for my tent but squeezed it in with minor cuts to the tent. Probably should’ve done it sooner. Can only run the light at 50% or below.

Really happy to harvest this girl. Made sure I pushed her to the max. Just about 70 days. She was done around 65. 14hrs into pre fower and beyond. I find that with High ppf with less hrs. Makes for much better phenos. Really happy to say. This is SUCH A 100% TOP strain. And it'll be 500% a auto that I'll repeat Mind you I've hardly ever repeated any strains. Except mimosa X orange punch auto and super lemon haze. And a few CBDs. So, if anything that should speak volumes to me saying this is a tip top strain. Going to run her with one of their new autos, apple strudel is meant to have very high terps. All about the taste. And this Apricot Auto from Fastbuds has this in spades.

Quality strain but my buds could have been denser/chunkier, growers error, my first LST and I stressed her into flower too early

Hey all, Its been a few weeks so lets take a peak at our Blueberry manifold. Last time we topped our girl down to the 3rd node and removed all other growth except the two growth tip and their fan leaves. Over the past two weeks shes continued to grow an addition four pairs of leaves on each arm. This wee we will cut those branches back to the 3rd node and then clean all other growth from the plant except what remains on the 1st and 3rd node of each side. This should give us 8 main colas that will grow up from these eight remaining growth tips. Continuing to feed as normal while trying to get the soil PH up to a proper level.

Still HOT and dry! Full sun almost every day, and she's loving it. Pistils are wildly long, and buds surprisingly fat for this early, maybe she will be a early October harvest? Hoping the weather holds out! Did another compost tea (Epsom, Kelp, Molases and Compost, aerrate 24hrs), wildly foamy this time, tons of microbes ready to get to work. Will squeeze in a final top dress of Gaia Green Power Bloom next week. All in all looking great, haven't done any more defoliating, buds are spaced nice, may snip a few fan leaves here and there covering bud sites, but it's hard to get to them being so tall, so hoping for the best. Getting some rain, maybe thundershowers over the next week, still spray link LCPT for PM, and BT for Caterpillars. Did find a ton of eggs on the underside of a fan leaf, so BT is necessary.

Eai comunidade GD quero desejar um ótimo 2024 pra todos com muitas colheitas de Buds densos e resinados 🙏 A hora da colheita está bem perto, os Buds estão super densos e resinados com um cheiro incrível que exala no ambiente inteiro 😋💥 Os tricomas ainda não estão do jeito que quero colher, vou esperar que fiquem mais âmbar, até agora tenho bastante tricomas leitosos e bastante tricomas transparentes. Acredito que ainda tenho essa semana inteira e a outra pra ficar no ponto que quero colher elas✅☘️ A rega está sendo feita somente com água já tem 7 dias Estamos no dia 92 de vida da planta dês de que a semente saiu da terra. 💚 Agradeço a todos que acompanharam e ajudaram pra esse cultivo estar assim 💚
