Englisch: We have now reached week 2 and the ladies have tolerated the early repotting a little worse than expected. But they recovered from the shock. All 3 biscotti plants are now growing wonderfully and look great so far. With the Gelatos, 1-3 are very uniform and growing well, but 4 and 5 are lagging behind. Time will tell if all 5 will make it to flowering. The two Cookies x Key Lime Pie are unfortunately also a little slower growing than the Biscotti and Gelato 1-3, but I'm so interested in the strain that I'm keeping both plants. Now we come to Herz OG, the strain I was most looking forward to. Heart OG 1 is growing relatively OK, but is clearly lagging behind the Bisottis and Gelatos. Heart OG 2 is growing quite slowly so far. Even slower than number 1. It also shows a mutation on the first pair of leaves. Let's see how it develops... The fertilizer has also been added since the beginning of week 2. Here I use the Athena Blended Line and stick to their feed schedules and the hand watering strategy. Deutsch: Nun sind wir in Woche 2 angekommen und die Ladies haben das frühe Umtopfen doch etwas schlechter vertragen, als gedacht. Aber so langsam erholen sie sich von dem Schock. Alle 3 Biscotti Pflanzen wachsen wunderbar und sehen bisher toll aus. Bei den Gelatos sind 1-3 sehr einheitlich und wachsen gut, jedoch hängen 4 und 5 hinterher. Es wird sich zeigen, ob alle 5 es bis in die Blüte bringen werden. Die beiden Cookies x Key Lime Pie sind leider auch etwas langsamer im Wachstum, als die Biscotti und Gelato 1-3. Der Strain interessiert mich jedoch so sehr, dass ich beide Pflanzen behalte. Nun kommen wir zum Herz OG, die Sorte auf die ich mich am meisten gefreut habe. Herz OG 1 wächst relativ OK, hängt jedoch klar hinter den Bisottis und Gelatos hinterher. Herz OG 2 wächst bisher recht langsam. Noch langsamer als Nummer 1. Sie zeigt außerdem eine Mutation am ersten Blattpaar. Mal schauen wie sie sich entwickelt... Außerdem wurde seit Beginn der Woche 2 der Dünger mit eingebracht. Hier verwende ich die Athena Blended Line und halte mich dabei an deren Feed Schedules sowie die hand watering strategy.

La tenda continua a crescere sotto questa SF2000 che spinge al 80% da oggi e ho abbassato a 15 ore di luce al giorno in modo da farle abituare piano piano, le più grandi hanno delle carenze e oltre a quelle spero non sia un fungo Fasarium perché le foglie più basse sono gialle con bruciature e secche quindi mi viene da pensare più a quello visto che ultima non avevo fatto asciugare benissimo e avevo meno ricircolo di aria perché uso più il deumidificatore e meno estrattore… insomma quelle più danneggiate sono state potate e ora aspetto di asciugare bene bene questa volta e prossima darò solo acqua per sciacquare le radici… Vediamo come procede i prossimi giorni 🙂📸🌱💚✨

The cannabis plant is generally growing well and is progressing as expected during the flowering stage. Despite the positive overall growth, brown spots have appeared on some of the leaves and I dont really know what it is. While the appearance of brown spots is concerning, the overall health of the cannabis plant remains good. With careful monitoring and appropriate adjustments, the plant should continue to develop successfully. It will be exciting to see how the plant progresses as it matures, even if its growth rate is somewhat slower than expected.

🌺 Week 1 Flower – Full Speed Into Bloom Grower’s Journal – BlueBerry by Zamnesia Seeds | Entry 006 The shift has begun, and our BlueBerry girls didn’t wait for permission. By the end of the week, they were already showing pistils popping and bud sites forming, not just the promise of flowers, but flowers beginning to shape up already. We’re still in what some would call pre-flower, but let’s be honest: These girls are on the move. ⸻ 🌱 Structure, Height & Symmetry Both girls are clocking in around 57 cm, with near-mirror symmetry in structure and development. Their growth is tight, lush, and beautifully balanced, like they were clones of each other. 📣 Shout out to Zamnesia This is what great genetics look like. Stability, vigor, and uniformity that shows their heritage proudly. ⸻ 🌍 Genetic Roots – A Quick Nod to the Legend We touched on it before, but it’s worth a reminder, BlueBerry is more than a name. It’s a landrace-influenced legend, blending Thai, Afghan, and Purple heritage into a profile that’s nostalgic, rich, and full of stories. This isn’t just a plant. It’s a revival of history, growing in a modern tent. ⸻ Nutrient Transition – Start Booster Out, Top Booster In As we move into flower, we’ve adjusted the feeding plan accordingly: 🌼 Current Feed (per liter): • Regulator – 0.15 ml • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • 💧 All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml • Top Booster – 0.25 ml (NEW this week) Why Top Booster now? Because with bud sites forming, we’re shifting the nutrient profile to support: • Phosphorus + Potassium demands • Bloom hormone signaling • Tight flower stacking It’s a small change, but the timing is everything. And the girls are loving it. ⸻ Environmental Stats – Riding the Heat Wave • Room Temp: 31°C • Humidity: 50.3% • VPD: 2.23 kPa Yes, it’s a little high—but we’re monitoring closely. Plants are adapting well, leaves are still perky and expressive, and the structure remains lush. ✅ Coming soon: AC unit incoming to help dial this environment into a more stable and optimal range. Until then, the genetics are showing great resilience. ⸻ 💨 Airflow, Extractions & Gear Overview Even with summer heat, airflow remains dialed: • Exhaust: • 6” Spider Farmer inline with carbon filter — managed via Spider Farmer GGS Controller • 6” AeroFan inline with carbon filter — connected to TrolMaster Tent-X • Intake: • 6” fresh air intake, passive-cooled and filtered • 💡 Lighting: • Black Series 600 LED (Zone 1) • ThinkGrow Model One LEDs (Zone 2) Both managed by TrolMaster ecosystem, alongside: • 🧠 CO₂ Sensors • Temp/Humidity Probes • 💡 PPFD Sensors for real-time light data 📹 Video Room Tour Available We’ve uploaded a generic grow room tour this week, showcasing the entire grow setup, including gear, layout, controllers, and environment flow. ⸻ 🌸 What’s Next – Stretch & Structure We expect: • Stretch to continue in the next 10–14 days • Node stacking to tighten • Early trichome shimmer possibly appearing toward Week 2–3 This is a critical window for: • Monitoring internode spacing • Light height and spectrum adjustment • Fine-tuning VPD as flowering kicks into high gear ⸻ 🚫 What Not to Expect Yet: • No defoliation or major training—structure is too delicate right now • No aggressive boosts—flower development is just beginning • No topping or stress—focus is now on upward and outward bloom formation ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts – BlueBerries in Bloom This run has always been about balance: Classic genetics. Modern precision. Beautiful biology. With pistils out and the tent full of energy, it’s time to watch this legendary strain write her next chapter. From landrace roots to LED-powered flower—our BlueBerries are in full stride. Let them shine. 🌸✨ With love, care, and growing admiration, Your ever-faithful garden friend DD (DogDoctor)🌱💚 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Just to add! Makes u feel warm and fuzzy in your face and eyes! Lovely buzz recommended strain 🔥💯 Can literally smell the sweet blueberry and mango even when drying she was letting off a lot of blueberry more than mango but now dry tastes more like mango but hasn’t been cured yet! So I’ll be adding a report soon! She went longer than expected needed another 2 weeks! She didn’t cover leaves so much with triches but did all over the bud!

The buds are very tight, but they didn't grow large colas so that means wasted time trimming cannabis, which I am not a huge fan of. I will not be growing this strain again, as I believe there are far better breeders and strains out there. I will continue to seek out the best breeders and strains until I am satisfied. I believe this Auto will yield in the 16-22 Ounce range dry, so I am not super disappointed, but I know I can do much better than this. After 6 days of drying, it took me around 7 hours to trim this auto, and she ended up yielding 16.72 Ounces. So she was definitely on the lower end of the spectrum from what I estimated on chop day, but still in the range. The buds are very tight, and smell like like cheese. I am only running one mature auto at a time now, so next up will be the Acid Dough from Ripper Seeds. I hope everyone has a great rest of your weekend, stay safe and Blaze On!!

Sup people!👋🏾 First I will like to say this will be my first time doing LST, HST and Topping on an Auto Initially I wasn't really sure, I have been training Buddy for some weeks now and I can tell you she the perfect one for such operations! She's been reacting pretty well and it's amazing to see her bounce back each time 😈 Week 7 ended with a blast! 🕺🏾 She's starting to smell a little, I turned on my exhaust fan on low speed, will be adding volts as the smell gets stronger. So far so good, I'm happy with what seed stockers made here👌🏾 Big bud's genetics are incredible and I can't wait to see her finish Up and 🌬️🌀😂 Take care of each other famo and happy growing to you all 💚 Peace ✌️🏾

Week 02 Introduction This week has been a bit of a struggle. Had my first experience dealing with slime and brown algae. But I think adding enzymes and increasing the beneficial bacteria helped to fix the issue. Also experienced nutrient burn for the first time. My nutrient solution strength got as high as 671 PPMs. So backed it down to about 430 PPMs during the end-of-week reservoir change. Also cut Hydroguard (expired?), CaliMagic, and Superthrive from this grow. Now she's still stunted, but is starting to recover. Hopefully... [START OF WEEK 02] Day 01 - Monday - 08/10/20 - Total Days: 008 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Still looks a bit yellow. But getting larger! --- Solution strength was at 248 PPMs. --- Just topped off with a bit of distilled water --- PH went up to 6.1 so PH'd down to 5.8 --- Ran the top feed for a bit to wet the hydroton. - [2130]: She's looking even more yellow now. --- Even the new leaves are really yellow. --- Decided to add more base nutes. --- Added 4ml of Sensi A --- Added 4ml of Sensi B --- Now at about --- Solution Strength went up to 304 PPM. --- PH was at 6, --- Also raised the water level a bit more. --- I really hope it's a nutrient deficiency and not an over-watering issue. --- Please live! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/11/20 - Total Days: 009 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looking less droopy. But still yellow. --- Decided to do a reservoir change. --- 4.5gal of distilled water --- 8ml of Sensi Grow A --- 8ml of Sensi Grow B --- 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- 4ml of B-52 --- 4ml of CaliMagic --- 4ml of Hydroguard --- 4 drops of Superthrive --- PH'd down to 5.8 --- Solution strength: 302 PPM --- Since I didn't want to risk over-watering the rockwool, I did not to do a top feed, may do one tonight after the sleep cycle (lights are still set to go off at 10am and back on at 4pm). --- As I was doing a reservoir change, I noticed that the tubes and bucket were a bit slimy. Didn't really stink or anything. Is this normal? Maybe due to the Hydroguard and Voodoo Juice? --- I hope she gets better soon! - [2215]: Getting larger! But still yellow. --- Also can see a root growing through the net pot! Tiny little thing but it's there! Will have to start dropping water once more appear. --- After looking over a few DWC diaries using AN nutes, seems like my solution strength is still too low. Most around this stage average around 500 PPMs with about 4ml per gallon. --- Top fed for a minute to wet the top of the hydroton. --- Solution strength went down to 263 PPM. --- Added 8ml more of Sensi A --- Added 8ml more of Sensi B --- Now base nutes are at 16ml for 4.5 gal of water. --- PPMs went up to 411. --- Still lower than 500 PPMs, but that's okay. --- PH was at 6. Not sure if I should adjust PH using AN nutes. So going to not ajdust unless PH goes above 6.1. Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/12/20 - Total Days: 010 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: Looks like more root growth! --- She still looks yellow. But leaves are perky. --- PH was at 6.2 so lowered down to 5.8. --- Solution strength was at 394 PPMs --- Since roots are still growing, I decide to lower the water level a bit. Now water level is a bit below the net pot. - [2200]: Root is getting longer! --- Slime is returning. Not sure why. --- Solution strength: 357 PPMs --- PH: 6.1 --- Decided to add an enzyme along with more beneficial bacteria to hopefully cure the slime. --- Added 16ml of Sensizym --- Added 5ml of Hydroguard --- Added 8ml of Voodoo Juice --- New solution strength: 430 PPMs --- New PH: 6.1 --- Top fed for a minute. --- This slimy residue is really freaking me out! I hope the added enzymes will help eliminate the slime. --- Going to do a full reservoir sterilization/nutrient change over the weekend. Please survive until then girl! Day 04 - Thursday - 08/13/20 - Total Days: 011 ----------------------------------- - [0930]: I think the enzymes worked! There is little to no slime now! --- Although I think the root was also dissolved in the process. It's now just a little stub sticking just below the net pot. The enzyme is also suppose to dissolved dead roots too but guess that root was too weak? Not sure what happened there. But I think the slime is cured! --- Solution strength went down to 395 PPMs. Decided to add more base nutrients. --- Added 8ml of Sensi A --- Added 8ml of Sensi B --- Added 4ml of B-52 --- Solution strength went up to 598 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.1 --- As long as the PH is between 5.5 and 6.3, I'm not going to use PH Up or Down. But still will monitor PH levels. - [1715]: Checked up on her after her nap and shes looking alive but stunted. But no slime! --- Decided to add some sugars to help maintain the enzymes and beneficial bacteria. --- Solution strength was at 587 PPMs. --- PH was at 6.2 --- Added 8ml of Bud Candy --- Solution strength went up to 671 PPMs. --- PH also went up to 6.3 --- Lowered water level a bit to hopefully promote more root growth. --- Top fed for a minute. --- She is getting bigger, but still looks yellow. Day 05 - Friday - 08/14/20 - Total Days: 012 ----------------------------------- - [0915]: Leaves look a little burnt on the tips. Still no slime. --- Going to back off on the PPMs to hopefully fix the nutrient toxicity. --- Solution strength was at 632 PPMs --- PH was at 6.3 --- Added/Removed water until PPMs were at 536. --- PH was still at 6.3 --- Raised water up a bit, then top fed for a minute. - [2200]: Looking better. Still yellow though. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 6.5 --- Added PH down. --- New solution strength: 518 PPMs --- New PH: 5.2 --- PH was kind of high. So decided to PH down. Had to use quite a bit to bring it down. But eventually got it to drop down to 5.3. A little low, but so far, the PH has always gone up so wanted to start it really low. --- Ran the top feed for a minute to re-saturate the top of the hydroton. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/15/20 - Total Days: 013 ----------------------------------- - [0830]: She looks stunted. leaves are still yellow. --- Solution strength: 514 PPMs --- PH: 5.6 --- Top fed for a minute. --- Not sure what to do at this point. Going to do another reservoir change soon. Hoping she lives until then. - [2145]: Looking pretty much the same. --- A bit of slime has returned. Since I've been diluting the nutrient solution, the enzyme ratio has dropped. So I guess this is expected. --- Also noticed that slime build up was on the air-stones. Never really checked the stones so not sure how long that has been there. Looks brown too, which can't be good. --- Going to do an H202 sterilization of the system (minus the net pot) tomorrow so did not add anything. --- Lowered the water level to below the net pot. --- Then top fed for a minute. Day 07 - Sunday - 08/16/20 - Total Days: 014 ----------------------------------- - [0900]: STERILIZATION DAY! --- Decided to skip today's night cycle for a deep clean. --- I'm hoping that skipping a night cycle won't be too stressful. --- Temporarily moved her to a new bucket. --- Used about a half of gallon of straight distilled water to flush out the net pot. --- Drained the system and wiped up all the brown sludge. Also removed the air stones and cleaned up all the goo. --- Filled the system with 2 gallons of distilled water and at least 30ml of food grade hydrogen peroxide (35% strength). --- Yea its a lot, but since I'm not going to sterilize the system overnight, I went with a really high doseage. Basically I kept adding until I started to see little bubbles start to form. --- Then I ran the water pump. - [0915]: Boiled the air stones in tap water for about 10 min. Then reconnected them to the airlines. --- I let the air stones and hose soak in the sterilization solution for about 5 minutes so the peroxide can absorb into the stones. Then ran the air stone to help mix and agitate the solution. --- Occasionally, I'd repeat the process of turning the air pump off for a few minutes to let the stones soak. - [1000]: Covered the top two row of holes of the net pot with some aluminum tape. Hopefully this solves the light leaking in through the hydroton. - [1200]: Used an old toothbrush and scrubbed the pump clean. Then drained the system. --- Refilled with more distilled water and peroxide. Again added a lot. --- Ran system again to sterilize even more. - [1530]: Drained the system and refilled with distilled water to rinse. --- Ran the system for a few minutes, then drained and rinsed again. --- Did this a few more times over about an hour. - [1630]: Added 4 gallons of fresh distilled water. --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow A --- Added 15ml Sensi Grow B --- Added 12ml of B-52 --- Added 16ml of Voodoo Juice --- Added 16ml Sensizym --- Solution strength was at 430 PPMs --- PH was at 5.6 --- I was going to add Hydroguard, but I think the bottle is expired. Since 2017 or 2018!? I think Hydroguard is good for up to 2 years from the date on the bottle or 6 months after opening. So not going to use from now on. I wonder if this could have contributed to the slime build up. --- Also removed the CaliMagic and Superthrive too. Going to only use AN products to eliminate the chance of incompatible nutrients. --- Placed her back in the bucket and top fed for a minute. --- Here's hoping for the best. Going to let it ride until morning! Please feel better! [END OF WEEK 02]

love seeing all the buds getting thicker and thicker by day. Tempted to harvest it early but I HAVE to be patient. Just a few more weeks and they'll be solid. Bottom leaves are dying so there's quite a bit to clean up but overall, really happy with how the ladies are turning out.
