💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 14 💙
🌿 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B
🌈 Same Tent, Same Ecosystem, Another Beautiful Girl Approaching the Finish!
Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent! 💙🌱
My friends, my friends…
WHAT IS HAPPENING INSIDE THIS TENT?! 😂❄️🌈
I honestly don't know how many more times I'm going to say that these girls are looking amazing, but here we are again!
The colours, the density, the flower formation, the frost, the aroma… everything is coming together beautifully, and Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B is giving us another reason to stop, look, grab the camera, and spend far too much time admiring the plants.
And honestly, I'm not complaining!
Welcome to Week 14 of flowering, where we're continuing to observe the girls as they move towards the final stage of their journey.
This week, there aren't any major changes to report.
We're maintaining the same environmental conditions, the same lighting arrangement, the same irrigation system, and the same nutritional program established in the previous updates.
The work we needed to do earlier in the run has largely been completed. The structure is established, the branches are supported, and the flowers are now taking centre stage.
So, rather than inventing new interventions just to have something different to write about, we're going to focus on what really matters this week.
The beautiful flowers.
The colours.
The density.
The incredible aroma.
And the individual characteristics that make Pheno B worth documenting separately from her sister.
We also have a new collaboration with Hemp Hooks, and I'm including photographs showing how I'm using their hooks in this run.
They're not being used for their intended application in these particular pictures, but they've turned out to be surprisingly useful for supporting branches and keeping them separated!
And don't forget our Mr. Baggy giveaway on Discord! 👽💙
So, let's give this beautiful girl her own chapter and see what she's showing us this week.
🌸 WEEK 14 – BLUE WAFFLE F1 PHENO B IS LOOKING BEAUTIFUL!
Let's start with the obvious.
THIS GIRL IS BEAUTIFUL! 😂💙
Pheno B continues to impress with her compact appearance, dense flowers, and beautiful overall development.
As we've discussed in previous reports, she has her own individual expression compared with Pheno A.
While her sister has been showing us more pronounced colour contrasts, Pheno B has been moving towards lighter green tones, creating a different visual character despite sharing the same cultivar and growing environment.
And that's precisely why I enjoy documenting them individually.
We can observe their similarities while still appreciating the differences.
Both girls are looking fantastic, but they don't need to look identical to deserve the same attention.
Pheno B has her own personality, her own structure, and her own way of expressing the characteristics of Blue Waffle F1.
The flowers are looking dense and beautifully formed, and the overall appearance is becoming increasingly impressive as we progress through flowering.
The major structural work is behind us.
The topping, training, SCROG, and defoliation performed during the earlier weeks helped establish the canopy we're looking at today.
Now, we're allowing that structure to continue supporting the plant while concentrating on observation and documentation.
And honestly, I think she's giving us plenty to appreciate!
❄️ THE FLOWERS – DENSE, FROSTY, AND FULL OF CHARACTER
One of my favourite things about this stage is being able to appreciate the details of the flowers.
The photographs show us the developing buds, their compact appearance, the surrounding foliage, and the visible trichomes that make these plants so fascinating to document.
When you look at the whole plant, you can appreciate the overall structure and the way the flowering sites are distributed throughout the canopy.
But when you move closer, you discover an entirely different world.
The textures.
The pistils.
The trichomes.
The intricate details of the flowers and sugar leaves.
It's one of the reasons I enjoy macro photography and focus stacking so much.
A single photograph can capture a beautiful moment, but a carefully produced stack can reveal additional detail across a greater depth of the subject.
And Pheno B is certainly giving us some beautiful subjects to photograph!
Her flowers are looking dense, her overall appearance is impressive, and the visible frost adds another layer of beauty to the photographs.
Of course, we're continuing to observe the flowers as they mature rather than judging their readiness from appearance alone.
The trichomes, the pistils, and the overall development all deserve attention.
We're getting closer to the finish, but we're not going to invent a harvest date before the plants tell us they're ready.
For now, we're enjoying the view and documenting what we see.
Because, my friends, this girl is absolutely worth the extra photographs! 😂📸❄️
🌈 THE COLOURS – HER OWN BEAUTIFUL EXPRESSION
Let's talk about those colours for a moment.
Pheno B continues to show us a different expression from her sister, with lighter green tones playing a more prominent role in her appearance.
And I love having the opportunity to document this contrast.
Both plants share the same cultivar, the same tent, and the same general cultivation approach, yet their visual expression isn't identical.
Genetics can influence pigmentation and plant morphology, while maturity and environmental conditions can also affect how certain characteristics appear.
However, we cannot attribute every difference to one particular cause based on appearance alone.
We're simply recording what we're observing.
Pheno A has been giving us a more pronounced mixture of colours, while Pheno B is showing us her own beautiful palette.
Neither needs to imitate the other.
That's the beauty of documenting individual plants.
We don't have to manufacture differences or make every report sound like a completely different experiment.
We can appreciate the similarities, recognise the differences, and allow each plant to tell her own story.
And Pheno B is doing exactly that! 💚🌈
👃 THE AROMA – ANOTHER REASON TO LOVE THIS GIRL!
Now, let's talk about something that photographs simply cannot communicate.
The aroma! 😂🌸
The whole room smells absolutely beautiful, and the two Blue Waffle F1 girls have been showing us a remarkably similar aromatic character.
It's another interesting observation alongside their differences in colour and structure.
Visually, Pheno A and Pheno B have their own individual expressions.
But when it comes to the overall aromatic impression, there's a noticeable similarity between the sisters.
I'm not going to invent a detailed terpene profile or assign specific aroma notes that we haven't properly documented.
What I can tell you is that the smell is beautiful, the room is wonderfully aromatic, and these girls are making the experience of spending time in the tent even more enjoyable.
We can photograph the colours.
We can capture the flower structure.
We can create stacks showing the trichomes.
But the smell?
You'll have to take my word for it, my friends! 😂💙
? HEMP HOOKS – A NEW COLLABORATION WITH A DIFFERENT APPLICATION!
Now, let's introduce something new to Project Blue Tent!
We're happy to welcome Hemp Hooks as a new collaboration, and we're already using their products in this run.
🌐 Website: https://hemphooks.com/
I've included photographs showing how I'm using the hooks around the plants, and there's an interesting little twist to this story.
The application I'm showing in these pictures isn't what the hooks were originally intended for.
But sometimes, you discover a practical use for a product that works particularly well in your own setup!
In this case, I'm using the hooks to help support branches and keep them separated where necessary.
With the canopy already established and the flowers developing throughout the plants, maintaining the arrangement of the branches can be useful.
The hooks give me another way to help keep things organized without having to repeatedly reposition everything.
And when I look at the flowers developing throughout this tent, I'm happy to have another option available for supporting the existing structure.
We're not returning to major training sessions or trying to rebuild the canopy at this stage.
The structural work has already been done.
Instead, I'm using the hooks for a practical purpose that suits what I'm doing right now.
And honestly, they're working wonderfully for that application!
😂?🌱
We'll explore Hemp Hooks more extensively in future runs, including their intended applications and how they can be incorporated into earlier stages of plant development.
For now, I wanted to introduce the collaboration, share the photographs, and show you how I'm using them in the current project.
Sometimes the most interesting discoveries come from trying something a little differently.
Welcome aboard, Hemp Hooks! 💙

💙?🌿
🌡️ THE ENVIRONMENT – SAME CONDITIONS, SAME APPROACH
Now, let's talk about the room.
As with the other Project Blue Tent reports this week, we're maintaining the same established environmental conditions.
We're not introducing new temperature adjustments.
We're not changing our normal humidity target.
And we're not making unnecessary changes simply because another week has passed.
The environmental approach established in the previous updates remains in place.
Our current reference conditions are:
Day air temperature: approximately 25°C.
Night air temperature: approximately 19–20°C.
Relative humidity: approximately 55% under normal room conditions.
Solution temperature: approximately 21°C.
Substrate temperature: approximately 21°C.
These values represent our normal operating conditions rather than every temporary reading that might appear while I'm working inside the tent.
As I've explained in earlier reports, humidity can rise temporarily when I'm inside the room, moving around, taking photographs, and checking equipment.
That's why we distinguish between temporary readings during maintenance and the conditions we're aiming to maintain once the room has settled.
For this week, the important point is simple.
We're keeping the established environment stable and continuing to observe how the plants progress.
The cooler conditions are already part of our approach to the final stage, and we're now giving the girls time to develop under that arrangement.
🌿 SAME ROOM. SAME CONDITIONS. ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL STORY.
💡 LIGHTING – THE ESTABLISHED SETUP CONTINUES
The lighting arrangement also remains unchanged this week.
Our main LEDs continue providing the primary illumination from above, with the overhead output running at approximately 90% as we continue the gradual reduction introduced in the previous updates.
The plan remains to reduce the output progressively as we approach the finish, rather than making sudden changes.
We're also continuing to use the two LumiFlora 150W full-spectrum under-canopy fixtures.
They're arranged in the established X-cross configuration beneath the canopy, supplementing the overhead lighting.
For now, we're maintaining the same general approach to their output, around 90–95%, while observing the plants and the lower flowering sites.
This under-canopy arrangement remains an interesting part of the project because it allows us to observe the development of different portions of the plants under the combined lighting setup.
However, we're not going to claim a particular result without the observations to support it.
We're documenting the arrangement and following the plants as they develop.
No new lighting experiment this week.
No unnecessary changes.
Just the established setup and more observations.
💡🌱
💧 IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE – EVERYTHING REMAINS IN PLACE
The irrigation and drainage system continues operating as part of our established ecosystem.
All four plants share the same reservoir and irrigation arrangement, helping us maintain a consistent general approach across the tent.
The recorded watering volume remains approximately 1.6 litres per plant over 24 hours.
As always, this is the recorded reference value rather than a guarantee that every plant consumes exactly the same amount under every condition.
Individual demand can vary, so we continue observing the plants and monitoring the system.
At this stage, we're not looking to complicate a setup that's already established.
The irrigation system supports the plants while allowing us to concentrate on the flowers, the environment, and the individual development of each phenotype.
So, for Week 14, we're keeping the arrangement unchanged.
Same reservoir.
Same irrigation system.
Same general approach.
And another week of beautiful plants to document! 💧💙
⚗️ NUTRITION – THE REDUCED RECIPE REMAINS UNCHANGED
As explained in our previous reports, we've already reduced the nutritional concentration as part of our approach to the final stage of flowering.
We're continuing with the PLAGRON Hydro line.
The current recipe is:
PLAGRON Hydro A – 1.8 ml/L.
PLAGRON Hydro B – 1.8 ml/L.
PLAGRON Power Buds – 1 ml/L.
PLAGRON Green Sensation – discontinued.
PLAGRON pH Plus and pH Minus – used as required for pH adjustment.
Our current recorded measurements are approximately pH 5.96 and EC 1.86 mS/cm.
The reduction in Hydro A and Hydro B was introduced in the previous updates, and we're maintaining that recipe this week.
We've also discontinued Green Sensation, while Power Buds remains part of the current program for now.
The important point is that the nutritional recipe is consistent across the shared reservoir.
We're not changing the concentrations for Pheno B independently from her sisters.
Instead, we're maintaining the established program and observing the plants as they progress.
Accurate documentation matters, particularly when we're comparing different phenotypes growing under the same general conditions.
So, for this week, the feeding program remains unchanged.
Same recipe.
Same recorded EC.
Same general approach.
And plenty to observe as the girls continue their journey.
💙🌱
🕸️ THE STRUCTURE IS THERE – NOW WE OBSERVE
Remember how much work went into establishing this canopy?
The earlier training.
The topping.
The SCROG.
The defoliation.
The support work.
All those steps helped shape the structure we're looking at today.
Now, we're at a point where the major interventions are behind us.
The plants have developed within that framework, and we're concentrating on observing the flowers and the changes taking place as flowering progresses.
We're not trying to reshape the entire canopy simply because we can.
We're not introducing unnecessary interventions just to make the report look different.
And we're certainly not looking for excuses to keep using the scissors! 😂✂️
The Hemp Hooks are simply another tool we're using to support and separate branches where needed.
That's different from going back into a major training phase.
The structure is established, the flowers are developing, and we're allowing the plants to continue their journey.
Sometimes the most satisfying part of cultivation is seeing the results of the work you completed several weeks earlier.
And that's precisely what we're enjoying now.
🔬 FOUR PLANTS, TWO CULTIVARS, ONE SHARED ECOSYSTEM
This is one of the defining features of Project Blue Tent.
We're growing four individual plants representing two cultivars, Blue Waffle F1 and Pickle Lemon Haze F1.
They share the same general environment, the same lighting arrangement, the same irrigation system, and the same nutritional program.
But each plant has her own individual development story.
And even within the same cultivar, the differences can be fascinating.
Pheno A has shown us a more pronounced mixture of colours, while Pheno B has been moving towards lighter green tones.
Their structures and flower formation also have their own characteristics.
At the same time, the two Blue Waffle F1 girls share a remarkably similar aromatic impression.
Those similarities and differences are exactly what we want to document.
We're not trying to manufacture distinctions that aren't there.
We're recording the characteristics we actually observe and allowing each plant to have her own individual report.
The shared environment gives us the context.
The photographs, observations, and individual development give each diary its purpose.
And that's why we're continuing to document Pheno B separately.
She's part of the same adventure, but this is her chapter.
💙🌿
🔭 THE FINAL STRETCH – WHO KNOWS WHEN THEY'LL FINISH?
My friends, this is where things become particularly interesting!
The girls are looking beautiful, and I feel we're moving closer to the end of this journey.
But exactly when that end will arrive?
We'll have to wait and see! 😂🌸
I'm not going to invent a harvest date simply because the flowers look dense, colourful, or frosty.
We'll continue observing the trichomes, the pistils, the overall flower development, and the maturity of each individual plant.
And because we're growing two different cultivars together, we need to remain open to the possibility that they won't all finish at exactly the same time.
Even the two Blue Waffle F1 phenotypes may show individual differences as they progress.
Will they finish together?
Will one need a little more time?
Will the Pickle Lemon Haze girls follow a different timeline from the Blue Waffles?
Let's see!
That's one of the things I'm genuinely curious about as we approach the final stage.
For now, we're keeping the environment stable, maintaining the established nutritional program, and observing the plants.
No rushing.
No guessing.
Just patience, photographs, and good documentation.
And honestly, I'm enjoying every minute of it.

💙 FINAL THOUGHTS – ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL WEEK FOR PHENO B
My friends, Week 14 has been another beautiful chapter for Blue Waffle F1 Pheno B.
She's looking fantastic.
The flowers are dense and beautifully formed, the visible frost is impressive, the colours are developing in their own way, and the aroma throughout the room is wonderful.
And although there aren't many new changes to report this week, that doesn't mean there's nothing happening.
Sometimes the plants simply need time to continue developing within the environment we've established.
The major structural work has been completed.
The lighting setup remains in place.
The irrigation system continues operating as before.
The temperatures and humidity targets remain unchanged.
And the reduced nutritional recipe continues to be our current approach.
We're also using Hemp Hooks to support and separate branches where needed, and I'm happy to share the photographs showing how they've found a place in this run.
We'll explore that collaboration further in future projects, but for now, it's another useful addition to our growing adventure.
And as for the girls?
Well, they're getting closer to the finish, but we're not going to rush the conclusion.
We'll keep observing their individual development, checking the flowers, and documenting what happens next.
That's what Project Blue Tent has always been about.
Four individual plants.
Two cultivars.
One shared ecosystem.
And a chance to learn something new while appreciating the beautiful plants we're fortunate enough to document.
Pheno B deserves her own spotlight, and I'm delighted to share another chapter of her journey with you.
Same tent.
Same ecosystem.
Same conditions.
Same passion.
Same love.
And another week of beautiful flowers! 💙🌿❄️
