Week 21
Finishing August, 23 degrees with some rainy and windy conditions during ten days; after that start a new heat waves (38 degrees tomorrow) with sunny days. The whole summer was like this: no really regular conditions. But it’s a pretty good test for finding a way to grow without any electricity during 6 month: preying to get a good harvest in quantity and quality. One of the lessons When you grow in Europe, west coast around 46°N, near ocean is to have an Indoor shelter to preserve from weather irregularity’s (rubbery and cops). There’s good year giving good fine vintage, bad year and poor harvest. To have a reasonable harvest: shelter is better!
Daylight 13h - 7h30/20h30 (-3 minutes)
Plant is changing to the final morphology. Flowering since around 3 weeks: we needs almost 7 weeks more before the harvest question.
I was doubtful about the flowers size, but I compared to the last year diary and note that the evolution of plants were similar. Middle to end October will be probably the harvesting period: It’s because Indica dominant or low Sativa genetic is a reasonable option when selecting the outdoor strain.
Blackberry Moonrocks is globally a good plant. Toppings and LST provided numbers of flowers. Just 3 weeks flowering, but I’m suspecting a treat nutrient lockout: lot of yellow leaves dying despite of a good water ph. It could be a wrong earth ph too ( guano + palm tree ashes = low ph). I will try to flush and see.
Some Thrips around (white points on leaves) but not more. 💦 Sprayed Neem Oil, I will restart soon or with soap…
Problem of air circulation during heat or humidity episodes = pests
The plant is not totally healthy but initiate the flowering stage normally; next day will be interesting and crucial.
I suspected some deficiency signs on some leaves; nitrogen or phosphorus… not sure…
Whatever I put some palm tree ashes and sprayed the plant with a FishMix solution
Feeding the plant with Canna Terra Flores (easy when you’re busy)
Watering every 72h 1,2 L- ph <= 6.5
- Rain Water + Cannazym
- Calmag + Terra Flores (2mL) + Cannazym x 3
- FishMix + BioHeaven + Humic/Fulvic
@Andy1964,
Hey, I’m coming back to my garden in 5 days, and will update the diary soon😎…I hope my plants are safe.
This Blackberry Moonrocks will have around 120 days of vegetative period: born at the beginning of April, it will start a short flowering cycle at the beginning of August.
Good luck to you 🤞🏼😋
I'm at 4 weeks with the same BM Rocks x 6
They are currently in my grow room but I intend to relocate to a polytunnel for more space at what age should I consider relocating them .
Oh how long is the veg stagebwith this strain
Thanks
I'm just about to plant my bbm
6 out of 6 have germinated .
Well excited .
Mine are feminised can u tell me what the veg time is . I'm growing initially at 16 hours under lights then ino the polytunnel .
