Hello everyone, we are therefore at 67 days of flowering, the booster is having an effect, the buds have grown well, the plants will now remain in water only. Regarding the trichomes, it begins to be mostly opaque. I hope that the senescence will now advance. the lamp went from 470w to 360w. I'll tell you next week. bye

Week 2 7/26- All the girl's are doing great. I had to use some horticulture wire to prop up a couple of the girls that got a little 'top heavy'. Giving 12oz water ph'd to 6.3-6.5 as needed 2 hours after 'lights on' around each plant, and every other day in the saucers (1/4g/ea) to allow the medium to wick it up and stay moist. Temp's running 72-81deg with an average RH of 55-60%. I'd like to have the RH a bit higher but the girl's seem to be doing fine at the present. 😎Ordered another HLG 650R with the supplemental UV Bar to replace the two SunSystems 315 CMH's....should be a game changer! 💪 Also have an AC Infinity 6" exhaust system w/controller on the way to replace the Hurricane 400cfm fan I'm currently running along with another TerraBloom 6'x24" carbon filter as my current filter is losing efficiency. 7/27- Watered today ph'd to 6.4 with 2 tbsp/gallon unsulfured molasses added. I split 2 1/2g between the eight girls by pouring 12oz around each plant and then dividing the rest in their saucers to be wicked up. Temp's, RH and CO2 all on point! 7/28- Light watering today with straight non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5. Growth is looking great across the board. Even the late starters, Seedsman Zkittles #1 & #2, are coming along nicely! All the ladies are averaging in height between 2 1/2' - 3 1/2" and should be getting ready to explode as their root systems become more established and are able to start taking in more nutrients. Fans are running 24/7 to strengthen the stalks....they're gonna need it to support the buds these ladies will be sporting in a couple months! 7-29- Watered all through the bottom today with straight .5g non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.3. Temp's, RH, CO2 and VPD all on point. Unhooked carbon filter from hose as it's losing efficiency restricting exhaust air flow. Girl's all growing STRONG especially the #1 Seedsman Gelato OG in Fox Farm/Nature's Living Soil mix and the FastBuds Purple Lemonade #2 also in the Fox Farms/Nature's Living Soil mix with the Seedsman Gelato OG #2 in SOHUM soil is getting close. I appears the two girl's in SOHUM soil are not quite as tall as the others but are leafing out well and are stocky with close node spacing.....hmmm? 7/30- Lift checked all the pots and gave 2 1/2g straight non-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.4 with 2 tbsp of unsulfured molasses added. I split the 2 1/2g evenly between all eight giving 20oz through the top and the remainder in the pans to be wicked up. I turned up the HLG 650R to 400w at the wall and kept the height the same. My AC Infinity Cloudline T6 exhaust and new Terrabloom 6x24" carbon filter came today, as did the UV bar from HLG for the HLG 650R that'll be here on the 3rd.....CAN'T WAIT!!! All the girl's are really doing well and starting to begin 'gettin it on'! All are healthy and running between 3-4" tall. Side note: While installing the new exhaust fan setup on of my pooches sneaked in the room and munched off a half of a shade leaf on the #1 Purple Lemonade....she's definitely got good taste!😆 In the process of installing the AC Infinity fan I relocated it and the filter to the left side of the tent and re-routed the cold air intake hoses so that both enter the tent at the bottom and are positioned at either side of the tent. I setup the AC Infinity which is a breeze, set all my high/low limits and alarms and let here run! Temperatures now are running 72-81 deg. and RH is remaining stable @ 55%, CO2@800ppm. All in all a good day!😎👍 7/31- Water looks good on all the girls. I'll just top water lightly today with straight de-chlorinated water ph'd to 6.5. The AC Infinity is really a 'game changer' as temp's are now staying in a stable range without having to adjust the settings on my Ideal Air 14k BTU AC unit...niceee! All my ladies are finishing up their second week like champs and I'm looking forward to the next few weeks as when their root systems reach the 'super-soil' they are going to hopefully have some explosive growth. I'll also be evaluating all of them in the coming week to determine candidates for topping and LST to begin. 8/1- The second HLG 650R came today! I tidied up the tent before installing the 650R: moved EXHALE CO2 bags-one on each side, vacuumed, took care of any loose hanger cords and re-positioned the three thermometers/hygrometers. I installed the second HLG 650R w/UV bar in the tent and set both lights to 400w @ the wall and have both boards centered, level and hung @ 36" from the soil. These lights are AWESOME! I checked temp's on the boards & drivers after they were running for 4 hours: 98deg on the drivers and 94deg on the board...pretty freakin sweeet! Gave the girl's a day off from water as they all looked GTG and are all getting ready to really turn on! I plan on hitting them early tomorrow morning with a good watering. Temp's-RH-VPD all on point for this week. I've been continuing to run the humidifier set @ 60% RH and I'm going so far as to ph the water going into it to see if it makes a difference as my well water runs 7.8ph @225ppm dissolved solids and I hypothesized that as the plants were absorbing the moisture from the air it might be beneficial to have that moisture at the correct ph.....we'll see I guess!

Still stretching.... using tap water now. Added more soil and DE. I think I read the TDS meter wrong last time, so probably way overfed. Finally had some time to retie down, but there are so many!!

I love this lady. She smells insane. It won't be long till there's more room is the tent for her to spread out some. Will likely tie her up at that point. She is just huge. A little while to go for her yet. It can't come quick enough.

Harvest Report: The Swift Journey of Blackberry Auto Greetings, fellow cultivators! The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived – the harvest of my Blackberry Auto. This beauty has moved through her life cycle with astonishing speed and grace. Let's take a moment to reflect on her incredible journey from seed to harvest and celebrate the fruits of our labor. Seed to Sprout: It feels like just yesterday when I planted the tiny seed of Blackberry Auto. Nestled in a Root Riot cube, she sprouted with vigor, her first delicate leaves reaching for the light. The conditions were perfect, with temperatures at a steady 28°C and relative humidity at 95%, creating an ideal environment for her early growth. Transplanting and Early Growth: As she transitioned to a small pot filled with rich soil and Mycor Mix, Blackberry Auto continued to thrive. The Mycor Mix, with its blend of various mycorrhizae species, worked wonders in enlarging her root system and facilitating nutrient uptake. Her early growth was nothing short of spectacular, setting the stage for the robust plant she would become. Rapid Vegetative Phase: Blackberry Auto quickly outgrew her initial pot and was soon transplanted into her final home – a 16L AutoPot. This setup allowed her to drink as she pleased, supported by the precise hydration of the AutoPot Aquavalve. With a foundation of Aptus All-in-One Pellets and Mycor Mix Soil, she had everything she needed for explosive growth. Her leaves grew enormous and lush, and her branches spread wide with gentle low-stress training. Swift Flowering and Stunning Development: Entering the flowering phase, Blackberry Auto didn't slow down. Her buds formed quickly, each one a masterpiece of nature. The colors were a sight to behold – deep purples, vibrant magentas, and hints of dark blue. The aromatic symphony filled the grow room, a testament to her potent genetics and the meticulous care provided. Natural Brilliance and Final Weeks: Observing her rapid progress, I ceased all feedings to let Blackberry Auto showcase her natural brilliance. Her final weeks were marked by a dazzling display of colors and an incredible pace of bud development. Each day brought new marvels, as her buds swelled and her trichomes sparkled like a constellation. A Heartfelt Reflection: From the moment she sprouted to her final days of flowering, Blackberry Auto has been a true wonder. Her speed and beauty have exceeded all expectations, and it's hard to believe how quickly she reached this point. This journey has been a testament to the magic of cultivation and the resilience of a well-bred strain. Acknowledgments and Gratitude: As we celebrate this harvest, I extend my deepest gratitude to @fastbuds_official for creating such a remarkable strain. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your support has been invaluable in nurturing this beauty. A special thank you to Grow Diaries for providing a platform to share this journey, and to the community for your shared passion and camaraderie. 🌱💚 As we move forward, I eagerly anticipate the trim and smoke reports, where we'll dive into the sensory delights of Blackberry Auto. For now, let's revel in the joy of a successful harvest and the extraordinary journey that brought us here. Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life

A couple more weeks to the finish line! The two Apollo in the back have really packed on weight, and the resin is getting frostier and spreading everywhere. The aroma on one of them is inexplicably identical to Nivea cream—no joke. Terpenes never cease to amaze me! The flowering expression on these F1 lines is a pleasure to watch, and there’s noticeably more phenotypic uniformity compared to three non-F1 seeds of the same type. The Milky Way in a 7-liter pot is the Cinderella of the trio—a small devotee in Apollo’s temple. Terpene-wise it’s less captivating, with little flame-shaped buds that are less plump and fleshy, but not at all lacking in potency. A tiny vaporized sample from the little one told me right away she’s not kidding—it sent me into orbit for an entire afternoon. I’m staying focused on low humidity

Big round of defoliation. Very excited to see stretch, they seem to have entered it after a few days delay. Been clearing up larf in rounds as well, they're not quite lollipopped but I've developed my colas. Most smaller tertiary branches are gone, unless theyre sturdy and not going to crowd. instead of completely removing offending tertiary branches, i have left a single node with a single growth tip on each to yield bud. Trying to remove only the weak, malformed growth and stuff that crowds.... want long, thick colas. Recharge, fresh Actively Aerated Compost Tea w/ alfalfa meal, organic cal mag only, sometimes just spring water and cal mag ph'd.

Good harvest and excellent buds. Buds are loaded with a lot of THC, which provides a powerful multifaceted effect, combining daytime high and relaxing evening stone. I like to smoke this kind and relax while watching TV or playing cards. This strain is easy to grow and I have not had any problems or overdose of fertilizers. In the fourth week, the plant has more than doubled its growth - up to 30cm. I did not change the main indicators of the microclimate, but again slightly corrected the nutrition scheme: I added NESY KOKO 20ml to 5 liters of water. The bush looked healthy, strong and the first signs of pre-blossom began to appear on it. Flowering began on the 45th day. The plant was stretched out at a frantic pace - almost 4 centimeters a day. Thus, by the end of the 7 week, its size was already 45 centimeters. With the beginning of the eighth week, the elongation of growth stopped. The final height (along the center line) was 60cm. I decided to shorten the light period - now it was 12/12. I started use HESI PK 13/14 HESI BOOST.( once a week) At 9 weeks, I started to gradually defoliation. The bumps were very heavy and dense, so I gently pulled them to the center cola, as the side branches might not be able to handle the weight. From the 11th week on, I stopped feeding the plant, giving it exceptionally clean water for flushing. The trichomes began to turn cloudy and signaled that it was time to harvest. By this point, I had completely removed the foliage from the bush - everything was ready for harvesting. I dry cut buds in the same grow box where they grew. I haven't tried these buds yet. I was pleased with the quality of the strain. The center kola, as well as the side branches, gave me an excellent harvest. As for growing, I did not experience any difficulties. I recommend using a charcoal filter when growing - the variety is very aromatic. After drying and curing, I will take a sample from the finished product. On the way out, I got a first-class, top-quality IndiCA. The taste is dominated by pine woody notes. The effect has a powerful relaxing effect and awakens a brutal appetite in me. I like to smoke this kind and relax while watching TV or playing cards. Thanks to sponsor HESI for nutrients I got this report. I am very pleased with the result. The whole cycle I had no problems with the growth. In the future, I ll sure to use their further line of fertilizers. I added fertilizers according to the table from NESI. 1. The level of PPM is relatively low and it is large 2. The PH level was corrected automatic and I have a video about it. 3. Due to the content of B vitamins and natural sugars, the flowers grow naturally and fast. 4. NESI complex was enough for full grow cycle. I did not add any extra food. 5. The end product is easier to clean as the PPM level is low.

Día 44 (15/07) Wow! No hay shock de trasplante! 😍💥😁 Todas las ramas se han estirado hacia arriba tras el ajuste de LST y se están formando nuevos nodos rápidamente Esta combinación de nutrientes de Lurpe + substrato de PRO-MIX HP es una maravilla 😍 Día 45 (16/07) Ayer tuvimos ola de calor (37 ºC) y han aguantado muy bien! A última hora de la tarde (cuando ya no había sol directo) les apliqué H2O en spray foliarmente para refrescar los estomas Hoy parece que vuelven las temperaturas estándar para esta época del año: 29 - 30 ºC en las horas centrales del día Riego con 1 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 46 (17/07) Pequeños ajustes de LST Hay algunas ramas inferiores que no se han formado / estirado mucho Lo más probable es que haga una buena limpieza este domingo, 7 días después del trasplante, para dejar solo los brotes por encima del 4º nudo Día 47 (18/07) Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Este domingo (día 50) haré limpieza de partes bajas y tal vez también de nuevo topping en las 4-6 ramas principales 😁 Día 48 (19/07) Día de muchísimo calor con 37 ºC. A ver como lo llevan! Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 49 (20/07) Para ayudarles a llevar mejor el calor de las horas centrales del día, coloca una malla de sombreo (70%) sobre el invernadero Lo cierto es que se nota que baja mucho la temperatura debajo de la malla! Van a estar más fresquitas! 😍 Riego con 0,5 litro de H20 pH 6,5 Día 50 (21/07) Training session! Hago limpieza del tercio inferior de la planta, de todas las ramas y nudos que no superan la línea del dosel marcada por el 4º nudo (1er topping) También hago topping (2º) a todas las ramas principales La idea es tener 12 ó 14 colas principales para que no se hagan muy altas De paso saco unos cuantos clones de las ramas inferiores eliminadas 😁💥 Para superar el estrés, hago las siguientes aplicaciones y riego: - Riego con 1 Litro de Té Vegetativo de Lurpe Solutions. Preparación: 24 horas con bomba de aire (oxigenación) con ingredientes: Green Sunrise 8 ml/L + Insect Frass 16 ml/L + Hummus Lombriz 8 ml/L + Melaza 1 ml/L + Kelp Hidrolizado 0,25 g/L - Aplicación foliar Kelp hidrolizado de Lurpe Solutions a 0,25 ml/l 💦Nutrients by Lurpe Solutions - www.lurpenaturalsolutions.com 🌱Substrate PRO-MIX HP BACILLUS + MYCORRHIZAE - www.pthorticulture.com/en/products/pro-mix-hp-biostimulant-plus-mycorrhizae

We’re now in the final stage of the grow. The plants are receiving plain water only, and we’re just watching and waiting for the right harvest window to open up. Trichomes are still showing some clear heads, so I estimate we’ve got around 10 days left, give or take. That would bring us to a total of 14 weeks from sprout to harvest, which is definitely on the longer side for modern autoflowers — but every strain is different! Leaves are fading fast, senescence is well underway, and everything is pointing towards the final phase. Now it’s all about patience, letting them finish strong to maximise flavour, smoothness, and yield. --- Grow Conditions (still consistent): 💧 Watering: 1500ml every third day 🌱 Nutrients: None (flushing, previously BioBizz schedule) 💡 Light Intensity: ~1000 PPFD 🌡️ VPD: ~1.82 kPa 🌞 Temp: ~28°C 💦 RH: ~50%

Welp. I honestly didn't expect this. As I have mentioned in previous posts, this plant was no longer on its own timeline, the next plant was going to decide. In addition to this, I had just done a heavy defol and put the leaves and 3 small nugs in my cannatrol. The cannatrol still had 2 days before finishing its dry, so this ended up being interrupted. In some unfortunate mishap, as shown in the pictures, my light was scheduled to turn off at 5am. The device said it did, but as you see in the graph, it stayed on until I had caught it at 12:24pm. I simply disconnected the usbc from the outlet, reconnected it, my light kicked on for a sec, then back off. I think messing with my dehumidifier lastnight glitched the system and I should've done a reset when I was done messing with it. With the stress already playing a chance at mutations, the additional light didnt help. No hurt feelings here. With the weight off the bud and the sugar leaves, my cannatrol is maxed. 2.2 lbs of wet weight is all it can take, and I am pushing that. 900 grams of wet, partially trimmed buds impressed me! Not sure the sugar leave weight. Setting cannatrol to dry for 5 days and cure for 25. I know it can go way quicker, but I read a study about these settings and want to see if it stands any truth. Smoke report and dry weight coming soon!

25/07/18 - watered with 300ml each 24 hours ago giving them their first taste of veg nutes and their responding well so far, I will be upping the dosage later this week. 29/07/18 - everything’s looking alright so far, plant #3 did fall over because of the weight of the leaves but I’ve sorted it all out and it’s back to standing on it’s own two feet. 30/07/18 - I dident feed them from 72hrs and the girl in the middle started to droop so I fed them all 600ml each. 31/07/18- the girl in the middle has perked up abit but all three seem to be not praying 🙏🏻 to the sungod.

It was easy to know when to harvest and hang to dry because of all the other great diary’s on this strain. I do wish she was bigger but the high quality buds make up for whatever I lost in yield.
