💙 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. 💙🌱

Growth is just going amazing. Both phenos are doing just astounding. I'm overall delighted with these genetics. Days 35-37 Growth is going amazing as you can see. When preflower stops. I'll move it under a 300w light from mars-hydro. Hopefully within the next 2 weeks. I have moved over to giving bloom now. She is showing light mag issue so I added Xpert Nutrients Calmag and have been feeding the 20L pot without it fully drying up. I love soil growing. Day 38-39 She's pushing on at an alarming rate. I did not plan for it to be these big. They're going to get 50-100% bigger. So, it's not necessarily their size now. But in 3 weeks. I need to start using IR in my flower tent to push my fems into high gear. Adding 2hrs of extra light should easily cut days to a week depending where they are. Got to also becareful as if I add IR to anything in preflower it'll stretch like crazy. So, im at least 5 days or so before my flower tent will have no preflowering plants just all girls into heavy flower. This plant will STAY away from any IR 730nm for at least another 2-3 weeks. So, she'll do all her preflower under the p1000, which will be an issue in itself. Day 40-42 Took her down to separate her as they're far to close, to big and too many shoots not to do anything will only set the mid-lower parts back weeks during the flower process. I did do some very very light lollipopping at the very ends. The shoots were the smallest. And removed their fans obviously. That's the only defol I've done more or less over this ENTIRE grow. Which is very rare for me not to remove some leaves. With autos, you really shouldn't. Some can take it & still do well. But left alone. And good lighting/airflow throughout the plants. Has really made a huge difference. I separated them as best I could with as minimal stress as possible. It'll take a few hours to look all pretty again when she settles. She'll look really good. No HST/Defols done in any major way. Left it all. And just let them do their thing. Working with it, the smell is LOVELY like a black berry smell. Is absolutely lovely scent she's giving off. But, she is a good candidate for stealth growing. Only when she's worked on does she pong. And you have to be close to smell it. Day 42 and she's doing AMAZING. Really happy to see both phenos looking beautiful & separated really well. Hoping she'll push through pre flower in the next 10-12 days.

So she grew another 26cm this week!!!!!!! But that means the flowering stretch is coming to an end. Her flowers are starting to form nicely. They look really dense at this early stage. Can't wait to see what she's like in a few weeks.

Girls are really starting to explode in height this week. Went with a 1-4-4-7 nutrient schedule and the plants seem to be taking it well. Been struggling with my VIVOSUN controller failing to read humidity and temp values from the external probe so at times humidity is getting super high, but I don’t think it will be a major issue as the dehumidifier seems to work well until it gets full but if I’m at work then I’m kinda screwed until I get home.

Last flowering update, already harvested. Coolest song intro ever .. 😂 They look a bit sad, somehow mix of drought and natural end of life. Was nothing to do but wait for harvest.. or more like convincing my self to do the worst part of growing. I love the smell of cannabis.... this was just cruel and hurtfull. I am so happy I canceled my outdoor plans with this strain, if you have any respect of your neighborhood it's just not possible. 😈 After 1 month my new filter gave up, headache and sick after harvest. Completely off the scale.. sickening. (Perhaps something good because it has enough potential to smell that bad 😂) Likewise stickiness... it was all over the place, my tumble trimmer gave up because it's soooooo gluey the buds stuck together and it's nearly impossible to separate.💀 So ... idk I think bubble hash makes few sense for small batch grower and I did not want to do it ever again.. but I would highly recommend fresh frozen bubble hash. Or a big enough box with some furniture to harvest inside. Then again.. you are not a small batch grower 😂 Anyway, I don't like harvest at all.. so my negative things are probably real good signs for a highly potent product. 😅 The looks were not like I wanted, but nice phenos and 1 (Stan) midway looking. Very fast, could've harvested earlier. High trichome density, which are spreaded everywhere. If you are not going for bubble hash (which I think would be awesome with this strain), I'd recommend go for few buds or just headbuds/SoG.. harvest would be quicker. 😜😹 As I was not sure about the stretch I flipped very fast, as the stretch was midway they could've had one more week of veg to get some height. Luckily this is probably one reason the yield was not too high. Bud sizes are more or less in the same range on one plant. I couldn't reach Stan for proper Lolly and training, but they are all round about ~200g wet, so cutting off some stuff didn't have major impact on the yield, but the reduction really helped to stack up the remaining buds. Harvest update after cure or rosin tests. Otherwise I'd be too lazy for the rest. Thanks for the interest, if anyone had some 😘 Next update in 1-3 months 😎👻 “I can still blow up planets for now, but I am very hungry.” — Lexx “There is no right place for the dead - to live.” — Kai “Goodbye, little blue planet!

Day 71 from seed the plant seems to be growing beautifully and now they are starting to develop beautiful flowers and they are entirely covered with white snow trichomes it is a very strong and powerful plant to grow what a beauty . I also I defoliate some of the lower branches that will not going to develop well enough because lack of light so they can use that energy on the upper buds instead of the lower ones. thank you for reading I will continue to update have a happy grow.

3/19 230pm I just got the three new ones and I’m really excited to start them. I’ll be using Cannakan for germination 3pm That was easy all done. 3/20 12am almost ready. 2am poured out the water put in new distilled water below the notch and we are good to go. Set at 88 for 78 target. 130 pm I got the dirt work finished. It’s the part that I hate the most. I try to keep it as clean as I can. They are ready to go. I’ll be putting them in the dirt in a little bit.👍👍👍 3/21 1am..... going to see if they woke up.. I put the dirt in without much mess. The dirt is clean and easy to work with. I poured CAREFULLY in lines in both directions of a red party cup of Rapid Start and pH 6.5 each💦. nothing yet, but gnats... 3/22 Surgery was a success times 3!!!! All delivered happy and healthy!!!!! 3/23 12 am looking great!!!

I don't think I'm going to grow autoflowers for a while. I think I have much more control over photos and they are much more potent.
