Week 4 Flower Report: The Spectacular Symphony of Blackberry Auto Greetings, fellow cultivators! As we reach the zenith of Week 4 in the flowering stage, my Blackberry Auto continues to astonish with her rapid progress and breathtaking beauty. Let's explore the vivid transformation and celebrate the splendor of this exceptional strain. Accelerated Growth and Blossoming Marvel: Week 4 has been nothing short of miraculous. Blackberry Auto's rapid growth shows no signs of slowing, with buds swelling and trichomes sparkling like morning dew. This is a true testament to her robust genetics and the nurturing environment provided. Ceasing Feedings for Natural Brilliance: Observing her accelerated progress, I've decided to halt all feedings, allowing Blackberry Auto to naturally showcase her intrinsic beauty. This decision underscores my trust in her resilience and the rich soil that continues to support her spectacular development. A Kaleidoscope of Colors: One of the most captivating aspects of Week 4 is the stunning array of colors. Blackberry Auto's buds and leaves are a visual masterpiece, transitioning through shades of deep purple, vibrant magenta, and even hints of dark blue. Each hue tells a story of her lineage and the care she has received. Tender Care and Natural Expression: Despite halting feedings, the tender care and gentle guidance continue. Low-stress training methods are still employed to ensure optimal light exposure and even bud distribution. This natural approach fosters a sense of harmony and balance, allowing Blackberry Auto to express her full potential. Anticipation and Deep Gratitude: As we witness the dazzling display of colors and the rapid progression of bud formation, anticipation for the harvest reaches new heights. I extend my deepest gratitude to @fastbuds_official for creating this botanical masterpiece. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your unwavering support has been instrumental in this journey. Special thanks to Grow Diaries for providing a platform to document and share this incredible experience, and to the community for your shared passion and support. As we conclude the fourth week of flowering, I invite you to join me in celebrating the breathtaking transformation of Blackberry Auto. This journey is a testament to the wonders of cultivation and the magic of nature. Let's continue to revel in the beauty and promise of this extraordinary plant. 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

Week 2 has gone just as well as I'd like it too! I had an accident during the week where I had dropped a sticky bug trap on one of my girls, this led to me accidentally ripping off a fan leaf and a half, but she seems to have come out of it just fine! (Thankfully). I have been feeding 1/3 strength nutes the past few feeds, stepping it up from 1/4. I will be watering until I see runoff from now on to prevent nutrients from building up in the coco. Update(day 15, 4/12/20) Today I purchased a new oscillating fan, co2 bags and a new hygrometer that hooks up to my phone and shows me stats. The girls have been putting in a lot of work over the past 24 hours. I also had a Purple Punch photo seed sprout today which I may be turning into a mother plant. I will be starting a diary for this girl too. Update (Day 16 5/12/20) Second purple punch photo popped today, going to keep 1 inside and give the other to my mom to take care of. The girls got their first 1/4 dose of calmag today fed at 6ph due to all the nutrients settling there.( I do have ph +/- but I'm going to try run this whole grow at 5.8-6.2. Update (Day 17 6/12/20) Plants seem happy today. Fan leaves producing a the pre-existing nodes are starting to shoot out quite rapidly. Unfortunately, my streets power went out today for ~90 minutes, I opened the tent, windows and doors to get any light in I could, thankfully the power came back on shortly after. I fed the girls today with very little run-off(I'm trying to perfect the amount of water they need). Update (Day 18 7/12/20) The girls have jumped up over night! I wont be feeding today as I'd like the coco to dry out quite a bit more. Update (Day 19 8/12/20 Gave the girls a small feed today with very little run-off Everything seems to be going well so far, I'm very thankful! Update (day 20 9/12/20) Everything is going pretty well today. I will not be feeding as the increased humidity has kept the coco more moist than usual. Will be feeding full strength nutes tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by, HMU with any questions or tips you have.

Day 57 this little lady last weekend showed up with some burning on the leaves but Iโ€™m. Not really sure it was an excess of nutrient, signals of a deficiency of K and P are also visible. So I just gave oh controlled water with regulator and enzym+ and some calmag, now everything looks fine and i โ€˜ m sure I t will be great this week. Tomorrow, feeding day! Day 59 lady si farting up every day, Iโ€™ve been feeding her the last two days. The yellow on the leaves is just because of a water deficiency from the last week, I wanted my lady to absorb everything I gave. On day 57 I gave 1 lt but it was too dry, so on day 58 I gave her another lt and she took it all with PH 6,2 and PPM 1000z I think Iโ€™ve got 20/25 day max left so this will be the last week of fertilising from Day 70 Iโ€™ll start mi flush. Day 62 today feeding day I finally get my p-boost and k-boost from aptus. She drunk 1 lt with ph 6,1 and ppm 1090 Letโ€™s see๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Day 28 Today marks Day 28 since germination and, critically, we are now firmly in the early to mid-flowering phase. The vegetative "stretch" is likely complete or winding down, and the plant is transitioning its energy almost entirely to flower production. This is where the magic really starts to happen! ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆWeek 4๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ 11.10.2025 โ€“ Watering 0 ml 12.10.2025 โ€“ Watering 0 ml 13.10.2025 โ€“ Watering 1000 ml 14.10.2025 โ€“ Watering 0 ml 15.10.2025 โ€“ Watering 0 ml 16.10.2025 โ€“ Watering 2500ml 17.10.2025 โ€“ Watering 0 ml

Day 43 Flowering: Good day all. Hope we are keeping green and mean. Thr Fast Buds ladies have been showingnoff this week with lots of pistil popping and colours beginning to show through now. Six shooter is still a small lady and will nondoubt stay short and stocky. She has a high leaf to bud ratio which is a little dissapointing but her attempt to swallow the leaves should hopefully help that come harvest time. Her smell is getting stronger now and very sweet. Now she is in her own space with direct light, she has picked up a little and shows signs of using the energy boost now. Strawberry Pie is filling out nicely now with buds stacking up. She does look a little burnt leafed from a slightly high dose of feed but sorted now and I do think she needs some cal mag next feed too. She is a decent size andnher buds are really starting to look unique and sassy. Mexican Airline has been the star of these ladies so far and still is . Her buds are very attractive and have a very unique look to them. The camera doesn't pick up the reds and pink that are starting to appear alongside the orange. She smells so strong now too . I am so looking forward to trying her when she is done, until then I will just have to drool in vain. lol They had a good saturation feed today and started to hit runoff before I finished fully. Rhey all seem to burst with growth each day after a feed so fingers crossed I can feed them to the sweet spot to use it all. Happy Days here so far. Thanks Fast Buds and heather for the great genetics. Be happy Growmies..

๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป Reminder : ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป So, I created the diary the 15th of september, I wrotte every previous informations on paper then on a word sheet. I reallized that I got everything to create a diary here, so I did it. I should maybe try to end this first grow without buying any fertilizer and keep going with my home made receips (taken from several sources and reading). I think I will do some fun experiments on a following diary. It is well known, dwarves don't run fast, so next batch will be 3 quick one from royal queen seeds, with smart pot and coco ideas i had. It will be fun an probably in 3-4 weeks (I plane to harvest my dwarves a little bit later around week 11, but I don't know, I have to check trichomes, they will give me the answer.)๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’ฉSo from week (8) we are in *LIVE* mode for this diary. Hello elves (you are the elves, you reading me). Smiles are allowed (this is unfair you smoke your plants so you have a strong adventage) while reading. Orcs are the pests and desease attacking the dwarves (the 3 plants)๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป ๐Ÿ‘‰ I've cut every branches, it was an amazing experience : My dwarves killed the orcs, they survived and escape from this AMAZING journey. They where really impossible to kill. They suffered from : Overwatering, over defoliation, nutrients burn, probably root rot, to much heat (more than 30 degree for some days), a too small pot... And they smell like : ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜‡ a wounderfull smell. I did all the "noob" mistakes basically but I learned so much. I started to feed them with home made nutrients and ended to use biobizz really at the end. I don't know what was the best for those dwarves but they made it. I will update this diary with a video and will give in 1-2 weeks the weight dry, I am really curious about it, I left really no branches, they are like ready to be in a jar. So: ๐Ÿ‘‰ The famous 3/3 with amazing colors gave me : 38 gr. wet ๐Ÿ‘‰ The famous 2/3 gave me : 34 gr. wet ๐Ÿ‘‰ The famous 1/3 gave me : 30-31 gr. wet The harvest seems not amazing, I don't know how much weight I may loose by drying (I kept really only the heads). For a first grow, I am happy, because I simply made it. I know that it is now a growing experience, like those wounderfull amazing plants. And I learned a lot. Allready excited to launch a second harvest. A matter of time actually. It was fast, joyfull, stressfull, great to do it. SUMMARY : ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Why this diary name ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Because when I descovered growdiaries.com 3-4 weeks before harvesting I was completly sure to fail and that my dwarves were gona die. ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Is it the first time you have a kind of relationship with dwarves or plants like this ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Hell yeah... I am totally a casual smoker and I never did this in my life before. I have to say that I started to have like a real relationship with those 3 dwarves, they start to miss me ( I just cuted them like 2-3 hours ago). ๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜ข ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Did you enjoy to do that ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Well... It will be definitly hard to don't do it again. Hopefully when seeds arrived at my home, they where not alone, 3 quick one are waiting to have a funz experience with me. The trick what started to be a small investment turned into buying more and more stuff (ph and ec meter etc...) So I want to use them more ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Are you high right now ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Absolutly not, I haven't smoke any weed for about 3-4 months maybe and I don't drink, I mean, I am naturally like this. ๐Ÿ˜• ๐Ÿ˜ฎ What about the elves ? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ๐Ÿ‘‰ You mean the readers of this website who followed, liked, help me a lot with A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF GOOD ADVICES ? I love them โ™ฅ๏ธโ˜บ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ Thank to all the readers, growers, people taking care of this website and not giving any infos to the police, breeders for giving us the opportunity to do this, light crafters for giving us sun in a tent, tent builders, special potions crafters (who create amazing nutrients) specially those dedicated to the natural 100% products... I mean thank you to all elves. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Harvested Plant #2 and Plant #3 at 11 weeks. Still have #4 and #5 to go. They are just about ready. Been waiting until the leaves turn purple. These plants have been flushing for weeks because I thought they were going to be done sooner, but they haven't missed a beat. They have a very strong, sweet smell. I highly recommend Cobbler Crisp!!!

โ€ขMorning of day 19, ยพ through week 3. Did a light defol on both ladies. I gotta say I'm a big fan of Big Bud by Seedstockers! This girl is going to be exactly what her name is. I know its early with roughly 40 days to go, but I will for sure be growing this girl again. Any suggestions drop me a line. Happy gardening and stay safe Gromies! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ––โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ท โ€ขMorning of day 15, start of week 3. ยฐBig bud is 32" in diameter after more LST. And 37"tall (soil to top). Less stretching and more compacting of nodes. Very pleased! She's feeding at full strength and looking like she might want more. Very vigorous growth. ยฐAgent Orange. 30" in diameter after LST. plant did NOT respond well to LST. AND IS 36ยฝ" tall (soil to top). Also showed signs of nutrient burn. Will only feed half strength every 3rd watering. Any suggestions drop me a line! Happy Gardening!
