Del 20 al 26 de julio Cambio de sala y todo tira bien (un poco de calor). Ayer quitamos alguna hoja y los brotecillos bajeros más pequeños. Ahora mismo está en un armario de 0.8×0.8 m, 3 tiras led Grow the jungle de 15w, un deshumificador VDL y un ventilador. Tenemos puesto el extractor VRK para la salida y ahora mismo la intraccion es pasiva. En principio la dejaremos ahi una semana más hasta que coja más altura pero bueno, ya se verá. jejeje 21 de julio Realizamos riego en tierra con 1l. 1 vitamax + 2.5 Bud fuel pro + 2 bloom fuel + 0.16 Mammoth P + 0.3 silica power PH : 5.7 Th20 : 24.5°C Ec 1ms 22 de julio A este paso tal vez la semana que viene pasemos a flora, los brotes están entre 10 y 20 cm. Buscamos que el brote más corto este entre los 20 o 25cm para pasar a flora. Las temperaturas siguen bastante altas a pesar de que estamos a unos 28°C de media, esperemos que llueva pronto Jajajaja 23 de julio Riego foliar con tierra de diatomeas como preventivo. 24 de julio Por un lado, se nos han quedado restos blancos de la tierra de diatomeas pero nada grave, la retiramos con un pincel y dejamos que el resto haga su función. Hoy realizamos riego , probamos los pollitos azules Riego con 1,5l aprox de agua + 0,08g de vegetative growth booster de grotek. PH 5,6 EC 0,2ms Th20: 23,5°C Dicen que estos polvos tiran muy bien, veremos que tal. 26 de julio Hoy ponemos el quemador de azufre a funcionar por unas 5h como preventivo. Seguimos en las mismas de siempre, quería pasarla a florecer mañana pero visto lo visto le daremos una ulimta semana para que obtener un buen tamaño. Eliminamos algunos sumideros y hacemos un riego foliar con Delta nueve usando 4,5ml•l. Temperaturas sobre los 27°C y humedades entre 55/65% Hemos visto algunas marcas de carencia de calcio Asique esta semana iremos subiendo los nutrientes.

Seems she doesn't like above like 300ppm right now. Will keep lowering. Need to start a bit of Green Sensation soon and she still need a defoil lol. She's pretty bushy. Will get to that hopefully Sunday. August Midnights is being his typical adorable self! Always wanting to play! Love this kitty soooo much! He was meant to be our baby. A year ago, just 2 weeks into October, someone posted this little black kitty free to good home. I never even get posts from this group on my feed....but for some reason, there it was! Terrified, and in disbelief that someone would offer a free black kitten so close to Halloween, I knew he was meant for us! And...on top of that, he was actually born in August, so the name I wanted for my next kitty was PERFECT, then him being solid black....I had my perfect Swiftie Cat name! August Midnights. Can't believe he's a year old now. He just grew up so fast, crazy how time flies.

The little Gorilla Punch might still be the smallest in the tent, but she’s showing real power this week.🥊💪 Her stretch is completely done now, and she’s focusing all her energy on bud and trichome development.🌸✨ The structure looks really good nice spacing between the buds, healthy dark-green color, and no signs of stress or deficiencies.💚 She got one feeding of Orgatrex and the rest of the week only RO water with CalMag. The environment stayed perfectly stable at 24.8°C and 55% RH under the Spider Farmer SE5000, controlled by the AC Infinity AI system.🌡️ She might be compact, but she’s clearly the furthest along in bloom. Bud sites are stacking nicely, and the first trichomes are starting to sparkle, looking promising already 😎🔥

And the flowering begins! Changed the timer today to 12/12. The plant stems don't seem perfect to me but the clones didn't come as good as they should have been. They were the only ones i had though. The temperature is too high but i can't lower it anymore it's too hot were i live. Can't wait for the colder days! :/ Usually i opt for Scrog but this time i'm going with LST instead because since the grow space is small, its easier for me in case i want to flush or move the plants around. Gonna start the bloom boosters next week. Yay!

The Blackberry auto by Fastbuds has been a thrilling plant to grow. Starting off as a tri-cotyledon seedling, she's been a rush from the start. When she came out mutated I didn't even know if I wanted to keep her; I asked the growdiaries.com community for help. After speaking with a few experts I decided to keep it and see what would happen.. Since then she has developed thick healthy stocks stalks and dark leaves with ripe purple flowers bursting out between them add every node. Using a home mix super soil with Promis Organic as the base, I decided to feed compost extracts laced with Golden Tree & CalMag which helped kick this girl into over drive and push out these dense sticky buds. I'm expecting around 3 ounces from her and it's day 73 since she popped out of the soil. She has a sweet aroma and is completely covered in trichomes. Drying/ Curing process: - she will be hung upside down by the main stock until she is dry (8-12 days) - My humidity will be set to 55 - 60 % and my temps will range from 65-70 degrees F - Will store in Glas Mason jars with 2-way Boveda humidty packs. These are a lifesaver for new growers. They will keep the humidity in the jar at 62%. - after 2 weeks I'll throw down a mad sesh Thanks to everyone who offered me tips and help when I needed it. Thanks Fastbuds for all you do for the community, including growdiaries.com

Sticky Broccoli Auto — Week 3 Update Grower: Stoney Stark / Little Lilly Farms Event: Eternity Cup Stage: Late Veg (Pre-Flower Transition Approaching) ⸻ Growth Overview Week 3 showed aggressive vegetative expansion. Plants are stacking nodes quickly with strong lateral branching and tight internodal spacing. No visible pistils yet, but structure suggests pre-flower is approaching soon. Feeding frequency has increased to near-daily, which aligns with rapid coco dry-back under elevated PPFD and warmer temps. Plants are handling higher EC without tip burn or clawing, indicating strong uptake and healthy root function. ⸻ Light Settings 2/5 — Spectrum Adjustment • 60% Cool • 40% Warm • 0% IR • 0% UV • 430 PPFD This spectrum favors vegetative growth by emphasizing blue light for tighter structure while maintaining enough red for balanced development. ⸻ Environment 2/6 • Temp: 84°F • RH: 69% VPD is on the higher transpiration side at that temperature. This explains the heavier feeding demand and strong nutrient pull. Plants are metabolically active and drinking accordingly. ⸻ Watering & Nutrient Log All nutrient amounts listed per gallon. ⸻ 2/6 • 1 gallon mixed • ¼ gallon per plant via auto system • 1050 PPM • 5.8 pH .5 ml Silicium 2 ml Mag-Cal 10 ml Cocos A 6 ml Cocos B 1 ml Royal Rush 4 ml Pure Zym 4 ml Photo + 2 ml Fish Sh!t 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Notes: Elevated PPM largely from Scientetics Mag-Cal addition. No signs of toxicity; plants appear to be responding positively. ⸻ 2/7 • Light defoliation • Cleaned lower growth to prevent sprayer interference • Removed 2 larger fan leaves per plant for penetration • 5-gallon batch mixed • Auto system ran 2 minutes • 5.8 pH • No runoff Nutrient mix remained identical. ⸻ 2/8 • Auto system ran 3 minutes • Small runoff achieved • 1250 PPM • 5.8 pH Same nutrient ratios maintained. Observation: 1250 PPM in week 3 is aggressive for autos, but structure and leaf posture suggest they’re metabolizing efficiently. ⸻ 2/10 • Removed 2 large top leaves per plant to open side branching • 2 gallons mixed • Auto ran 3 minutes • ½ gallon per plant • Small runoff achieved • 900 PPM • 5.8 pH Adjusted mix: .5 ml Silicium 2 ml Mag-Cal 10 ml Cocos A 6 ml Cocos B 1 ml Royal Rush 4 ml Pure Zym 2 ml Fish Sh!t 5 ml Ruby Fulvic Photo + removed this feed cycle. Lowered PPM to 900 — a smart reset to prevent salt stacking while maintaining daily feeding cadence. ⸻ Nutrient Function Breakdown Silicium • Strengthens cell walls • Improves stress tolerance • Supports upright leaf posture Mag-Cal • Provides calcium for cell structure • Magnesium for chlorophyll production • Essential under high LED intensity Cocos A & B • Primary macro base (NPK + micros) • Drives vegetative expansion Royal Rush • Early metabolic stimulator • Supports nitrogen utilization Pure Zym • Enzyme product • Breaks down dead root matter • Prevents medium compaction in coco Fish Sh!t • Microbial inoculant • Enhances nutrient conversion Ruby Fulvic • Chelation support • Improves micronutrient uptake • Increases efficiency at higher EC Photo + (earlier feeds) • Carbohydrate support • Microbial fuel • Supplemental metabolic enhancer ⸻ Technical Observations • Feeding frequency is appropriate for 84°F + 430 PPFD • Achieving slight runoff on 3-minute cycle is ideal • Dropping from 1250 to 900 PPM was a strong preventative move • No pistils yet — expect pre-flower within 5–10 days At this pace, they are setting up for a strong stretch phase. Structurally, they look primed for a controlled but productive transition into flower.

Heeeere we go! Sorry for the late update! This is when I start the flush! I believe the plants are pretty much ready at this point and doing this will just improve the final product! Doing this took me a good chunk of time, mostly because I didn't know exactly how much of water I was going to need (it was a loooot 😫) and how hard/tiring it was to pH it as well. In the end my calculations were off, as I needed far more water than what I had (lol) so I didn't manage to do a full flush... but I still managed to lower the amount of salts and residues to a "decent" level (around 850 to 1500 ppm). I also used flawless finish so I suppose than even when I didn't use enough water that solution alone was enough to help! Besides that the rest of the week was quite calm and relaxing. Thanks everyone for reading! 😍

Hoy cvumplen su primer mes de floracion, e notado que en una al aplicar scrog y vario estres a las ramas se ve como genera mejores cogollos que las semas que casi no moleste, la mas alta se ve un poco flaca con cogollos llenos de tricomas pero no tan gordos, esperare a floracion final

Moved the whole veg tent into the flower tent😍 Done the final flush on the 2 plants in the front of the tent, should have them cut down in the next 3 days to make some more room for the rest of the ladies! Everything seems to be going good so far! Fingers crossed for harvest & cure!🤞🏼✌️🏼🌱

lots of work went into moving these girls outside. They are in a nice sunny and protected spot now. Can't wait to see these girls grow up. Gave them the best start I could. Season is a bit late here this year too.

Week 12+13 Update – Final Harvest & Reflections 🌱✂️ First off, sorry for the late update—super busy at the moment! This will likely be my last report for now. I’ll still share the final results, but after that, I’m taking a break. BioBizz#1 – BT59 Harvested, and as expected, a disappointing yield—typical for BioBizz. Final weight: 71.88g AN#4 – BT65 As expected, the biggest plant in the grow! This grow confirmed that I’d stick with Advanced Nutrients in the future. Final weight: 163.88g AN#3 – BT64 This grow was an experiment in 60x60x120cm, and let’s just say—not recommended! Zero height control, only 2cm clearance from the LED. Somehow, she survived. Now I’m super curious about the final yield! Final Thoughts Advanced Nutrients proved superior, and BioBizz didn’t impress me. Stay tuned for the final numbers from AN#3! 😏

💙 Project Blue Tent – Week 5 Blue Waffle F1 – Pheno B (Folder 13B) Hello everyone, and welcome back to another chapter of Project Blue Tent. For anyone discovering these diaries for the first time, this project follows four individual Blue Waffle F1 plants from Zamnesia from seed to harvest. Every plant grows inside the exact same environment, under the same lighting, receives the same nutrition and follows the same schedule. The only variable... The genetics. Watching each phenotype develop its own personality while removing as many environmental variables as possible is exactly what makes this project so fascinating. Today we're checking in with Plant B. 🌱 Week Five – Finding Her Rhythm If last week was about recovery after topping, this week was all about momentum. Plant B responded beautifully to the cut, quickly redirecting her energy into the new leading shoots while the lower branches accelerated their own growth. She's still carrying that compact structure I mentioned previously, but she's beginning to spread out much more naturally now. The canopy is becoming wider, the internodal spacing remains wonderfully tight, and every branch seems determined to compete for the top. One thing that continues to impress me is how symmetrical she is becoming. She almost looks like she planned every branch herself. The stem has thickened considerably over the past week, giving me confidence that she'll comfortably support the heavy flowers later in the grow. 🌡️ Blue Tent Environment Consistency continues to be the biggest priority inside the Blue Tent. This week's average conditions were: • 🌡️ Day Temperature: 30°C • 🌙 Night Temperature: 25°C • 💧 Relative Humidity: 58% • ⚗️ pH: 5.8 • ⚡ EC: 1.92 mS/cm • 💨 CO₂: 450 ppm • 💡 Light Schedule: 18/6 • 💧 Irrigation: 1.2 litres per plant per day Although daytime temperatures climbed slightly this week, the plants continued growing vigorously with no signs of stress, demonstrating just how resilient healthy plants become when the root zone remains stable. 🥥 Feeding & Irrigation One of the biggest differences between this project and my previous organic soil grows is the irrigation strategy. Because coco doesn't store nutrients the same way soil does, the plants are fed little and often rather than receiving larger irrigations every few days. Each plant now receives approximately 1.2 litres of nutrient solution every day through the automatic Mars Hydro drip irrigation system. A drip irrigation system slowly delivers nutrient solution directly onto the growing medium through small emitters positioned at each plant. Rather than watering by hand, every irrigation is delivered evenly and consistently, ensuring every plant receives exactly the same amount. Once the nutrient solution has travelled through the coco, the excess runoff drains away through the automatic drainage system beneath each grow bag. This is just as important as the irrigation itself. Removing runoff prevents old nutrient solution from accumulating around the roots, helping maintain a healthier and more stable root environment while dramatically reducing the daily workload. As someone who has spent years hand-watering plants, I genuinely appreciate how much time this system saves while improving consistency at the same time. The current feeding schedule is: • Plagron Hydro A — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro B — 1.9 ml/L • Plagron Hydro Roots — 1 ml/L The slight increase from last week continues producing exactly the response I was hoping for, with richer colour and strong, healthy new growth. 🕸️ Preparing the SCROG This week also marked another exciting milestone. The SCROG net officially entered the grow. SCROG stands for Screen Of Green. Rather than allowing each branch to grow vertically on its own, a horizontal net is placed above the canopy. As branches grow through the openings they're gently guided sideways, encouraging the plant to spread across the entire growing area. Instead of producing one dominant cola, the plant develops dozens of equally exposed flowering sites. The result is a flatter canopy, more efficient light distribution and, hopefully, a much larger overall harvest. At this stage the net isn't there to hold flowers. It's there to guide the architecture of the plant. Over the coming weeks I'll continue weaving each branch through the net one square at a time, allowing the canopy to fill naturally before flowering begins. Watching this process unfold is honestly one of my favourite parts of growing. 🌿 Blue Waffle F1 – Plant B Plant B continues living up to the personality she's been developing since the beginning. Calm. Balanced. Methodical. She isn't trying to be the tallest plant in the tent.Instead she's quietly building an incredibly organised structure that should become a fantastic SCROG candidate over the next few weeks. Sometimes the plants that grow the slowest early on end up delivering the biggest surprises later. I'm very curious to see whether she's one of them. 👀 Looking Ahead Next week should be all about training. With the SCROG now installed and both new leaders growing strongly after topping, the real canopy shaping begins. From here onwards the objective changes completely. We're no longer trying to grow taller plants. We're trying to grow wider ones. Every branch will now be guided with one simple goal... To create an even canopy capable of making the absolute most of every photon produced by the Zamnesia Phytonaut LED. The adventure is becoming even more exciting. 💙 Thank You A huge thank you goes to Zamnesia for making Project Blue Tent possible, from these incredible Blue Waffle F1 genetics to the complete ecosystem surrounding this grow. A heartfelt thank you to Plagron for providing the Premium Coco Growbags together with the Hydro nutrient line that continues making my transition into coco both enjoyable and educational. A special thank you to Mars Hydro for the automatic drip irrigation and drainage system that has become an essential part of this project. Although this isn't a sponsored product, it's one of those pieces of equipment that simply works. It has brought consistency, cleanliness and peace of mind to the grow room while allowing me to spend more time with the plants and less time managing runoff. Thank you to GrowDiaries for giving growers from all 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 reading these updates. Whether you've been here since the first seed cracked, recently discovered Project Blue Tent, leave comments every week, quietly follow along, or simply enjoy the photographs, every visit, every conversation, every question and every word of encouragement helps make this journey even more rewarding. I hope you're all having an amazing week, and I can't wait to share the next chapter of this adventure with you. Until then... Growers Love, happy growing, and I'll see you all next week. 🌱💙
