The temperature and humidity listed above are averages for the week. The above listed nutrients are dry and, with exception of ferrous sulfate, pre mixed at the listed rates of ml per gallon of soil. On day 3 I top dressed with ferrous sulfate monohydrate at the rate of 2.5ml/gallon of soil as listen in nutrients section. On day 3 the #3 plant seemed off. It never straightened up. 'd really like to save it even if it falls behind the others. I dug it up after pictures and placed it in a perlite filled clone chamber. Day 1 and 2 we had heavy dew. Afternoon on day two we had cooler temps and intermittent rain that continued into early morning Day 3. Day 3 was overcast with thunderstorms and rain that evening and night. The morning of day 4 we had a rain shower, but the sun came out mid day. 2-3am early morning day 5 we had very heavy thunderstorm. There was a lot of wind and rain. On day 6 the rain forecast was reduced to 5%. Despite this we had a thunderstorm with heavy rain and wind around 9.30 a.m. and a second round that evening.The soil in these pots has been soaking wet all week. Fortunately day 7 we had lots of sunshine and a light breeze that dried the soil out. This week presented a lot of challenges. I lost one plant to either my not mixing the nutrient thoroughly or the excessive moisture. If the dry fertilizers premixed into the soil are concentrated in an area of soil they can bring the roots. The excessive moisture can do the same. All that said the lost plant is still alive and we will see if it survived the intensive care unit. The two plants remaining are looking fantastic and have weathered these storms with vigor. Overall this week was a success.

Bewässerung: 2500 ml jeden 3 Tag in der Vierzehnten Woche pH-Wert: 6.3 EC-Wert: 0.2 mS/cm Temperatur: 28ºC Luftfeuchtigkeit: 50% Schädlingsbekämpfung: Wir haben seit ein paar Tagen die Nematoden in der Erde und es sind schon deutlich weniger Trauermücken unterwegs. PPFD: 600 µmol/m²/s DLI: 38 mol/m²/Tag Düngemittel: Sie bekommt ab jetzt nur noch Wasser. Besonderheiten: Müssen jeden Tag Gießen durch die hohen Temperaturen. Haben wieder Raub Milben gekauft und sie an die Pflanze gehängt falls sich irgendwelche Schädlinge ins Zelt Trauen. -Tag 92 Heute haben wir nochmal die Trichome angeschaut, es sind schon ein paar milchig :) -Tag 93 Heute Wieder gegossen und die Zeit der Beleuchtung auf 10/14 gestellt damit sie sich etwas mit der Blüte beeilt. -Tag 96 Da wir eine Baustelle im Growzimmer haben und keine andere Möglichkeit das Zelt aufzustellen, mussten wir improvisieren. Wir haben sie in den Garten gebracht und dort ein Dunkelzelt gebaut 😁 damit wir sie weiter mit 10 Stunden Sonnenlicht und 14 stunden dann im Dunkeln haben. Mal sehen ob das Funktioniert. Sie sollte so in 2 Wochen fertig sein. wir werden euch auf dem laufenden halten. 👊😉

Well, that didn’t go as planned 😅 — snapped a branch while doing LST, so I guess it turned into an unplanned supercrop session. At least I’m learning something new from my mistakes. Other than that, this strain’s super bushy — gonna need to step up my LST game next time.

Started with 2 Sour Chelumbians and 2 Lemon Haze Autos. Neither of the LH autos wanted to live so I started a bubba kush and a white widow to be in the same tent. They will be about a week apart in life

This was another hot, hot week with a big rainstorm. Take a look at the measuring cup, it is full of rainwater. Gorilla Cookies continues to smell and is very sticky. It is a tall and lanky plant but look at the heavy buds weighing down the stems. It should be ready to take down in a couple of weeks. Half way through this grow, I had to stop using Miracle Grow and change my grow plan. I decide to use Advance Nutrients Jungle Juice for the rest of the grow. Jungle Juice’s selling point is that it is the only nutrient that I should need during the entire grow. One just need to make the solution stronger as the plant matures. The directions say to “stir vigorously” and that is true. It is very clumpy and I had to stir and shake the bottle a lot. As your plant is in veg and growing larger, directions say to up your Jungle Juice to 4 ml per liter. If my calculations are correct, I am using approx. 5 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket. 1 gal is 3.78 liters 5 gallons=18.92 liters 4ml jungle juice per liter x 18.92 liters= 75.7 ml which is = to 5.119 tablespoons per 5 gallon bucket of water As the end of the summer is quickly approaching, I have spent some time reflecting this week on all of the contests that I have entered and not won this summer. It can be a little frustrating because of all the time I have spent taking pictures and writing commentary. But, instead of it getting me down, I have to think about all of the positive take aways and I want to share them on this platform. I have read a lot of diaries and now know why I am just an apprentice. I have a lot to learn from all of you. There are some really good growers with a lot of experience and crazy grow techniques. So much knowledge is on this platform-it’s mind boggling. To be a great grower, you must be willing to be vulnerable and put yourself out there and try different suggestions and new techniques. I have made a few friend that I enjoy chatting with. I enjoy reading comments versus just seeing likes. My best friend on grow diaries is @Natrona and my neighbor as well. She has been growing longer than I have been so I routinely learn from her. This summer I learned to mix 1 cup of Perlite into my soil. I can see where my plants need the air flow. And, I now I only defoliate fan leaves that absolutely need to be gone. I let the fan leaves stay on until they fall off. I want my buds to pull all the nutrients they can out of the fan leaves. I also bought 2 new tools that @natrona suggested. The first was a water PH tester and the second was my Max-ee Magnifier which is informative and fun to use. As always, Let’s Chat it up AND Likes and comments are appreciated

💫 Week 13 | Flower Week 9 – Heavy, Colorful, and Close to the Finish Line 🌿 The BlueBerry queens are reaching their final act — and what a sight they are. Both phenos are standing (well, trying to stand) under the weight of dense, resinous colas that have turned the tent into a living kaleidoscope of colors. Reds, oranges, yellows, and light greens paint the canopy in true BlueBerry style — a visual symphony of maturity, power, and grace. 🌸 Phenotype Highlights Pheno #1 – A soft, vibrant green tone, frosty and full of balanced structure. Pheno #2 – The colorful rebel. Reds and purples showing up beautifully on the leaves and buds, glistening with trichomes. Unfortunately, she gave us a little reminder of nature’s unpredictability — a touch of bud rot on her main top. We acted fast, cut it clean, and saved the rest. She’s drying beautifully now, and the rest of her canopy is thriving. 🌈 ⚙️ Gear in Action Lighting – ThinkGrow Model One + ICL 3300 working together in perfect harmony. They’ve been driving these girls from seed to bloom, bathing them in full-spectrum beauty from top to bottom. Airflow & Extraction – Two 6-inch fans, one from AeroFan and the other from Spider Farmer, keep the air moving. Each one runs with a carbon filter — clean, quiet, efficient. Environmental Control – Everything under the eye of the TrolMaster ecosystem, including the camera that lets us see and record every sparkle in real time. 🌿 Environment & Growth The summer heat continues to challenge the room, and with it, a bit of foxtailing has appeared — likely from heat stress or humidity. But this is part of the story. The girls are homegrown, full of heart, full of life, and we embrace their uniqueness. 🔮 What to Expect The finish line is near. Trichomes are maturing, colors are deepening, and aromas are thickening. We’re watching them closely to decide when that perfect harvest window opens — probably within a week or two. Next, we’ll focus on "flushing", watching the fade, and preparing the final harvest and drying phase. 💙 Gratitude To everyone following this journey — the lovers, the haters, the curious, the growers, the dreamers, and of course our sponsors — thank you. Every comment, every view, every message keeps the energy flowing. This run has been a reminder that perfection is found in patience and care — and sometimes, even in the challenges. 🎥 Everything is documented in 4K on YouTube — come check it out and see these BlueBerry legends shine in full color. #BlueBerry #Week13 #FlowerWeek9 #GrowDiaries #AptusHolland #Plagron #FutureOfGrow #ThinkGrow #SpiderFarmer #AeroFan #TrolMaster #HomeGrow #GrowWithLove 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the next steps, let’s push the boundaries of indoor horticulture together! As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together. With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine. 💚 Growers love to all 💚

Transplanted to a bigger pot. (I know, not the best timing because the plant just entered pre flowering stage). The weather is getting better now

Sounds like another great strain to grow, 27% T.H.C., up to 600 grams per square metre, 70% indica & around 7 weeks of flowering. Plan is to mainline her currently week 2 day 9 of veg, started her straight into rock wool & sprouted in a few days. Started her on nutrients after a few days at 0.75ml per litre & increased to 2ml per litre start of week 2 & planted into final home, 15 litre pro pot going great.

Day29F - still showing vast growth on buds, swelling and trichomes blossoming out. The colours starting to form nicely on the buds. Smells like a pungent caramel now. Day32F - This plant is so thick and strong, and can resist a dry and hot climate. For me this plant has been so easy, and she sucks up nutrients and loves it, 💪 Buds are getting dense and so sweet to smell. So fat and so many, I'm surprised on this auto 👏 well done again RQS. Day 68- Day 33F - the buds continue to swell and devolope. Trichomes flooding through now. Starting to see cloudy so will push for another week of nutes if she'll allow it after Friday, we'll see 😏✌️💚

Day 44 - The smell is divine, and the buds are looking very pretty. Beautiful fade going on in the leaves, almost like a purple/red/black. Planning to tapper down the nutrients as we are coming closer to Harvest. Crucial to keep the pH in range during flowering and being away a few days, I wasn't able to correct it until I was back. So they were drinking more water than uptaking nutrients.. leaving a high EC in the system. Corrected the issue by adding plain RO water, treated with cleanse, no nutrients. They are now on track and could do with a last defoliation, but I've been holding it off. Will get around to it over the next few days. The buds are sticky, smell great and rock hard. Dehumidifier was added to the tent to try lower the humidity to a better range. Can't wait to see the end results and product. Another 2 weeks an I think we will be good.
