TommyBVRSA75 The seed sprouted in 48 hours, and the seedling was transferred to a jiffy peat to which a solution of kelp, humic acids, granular mycorrhizae, and trichoderma was added.
After transferring the jiffy peat to a 12-liter Airpot with B.A.C. Lava Soil, watering began with water at a maximum pH of 5.90 and a total EC limit of 0.7 after the inclusion of nutrients.
Watering is taking place every 24 hours, and it's very evident that B.A.C. Lava Soil tends to absorb very quickly and dry out just as fast.
As for the LED setup, the Phytoled Resina NX 200 (4 modules) is in use, with a nominal power of 192 watts and a Bluerple spectrum on an 18/6 cycle.
The seedling has adapted magnificently to the transition from the jiffy to the pot, and all that remains to be noted is the fantastic vigor of the cultivar in its early stages. May God Jah protect it, and may this automatic end up being more than just the pure fun that autos provide, and may this backcross yield outstanding quality.
420 always and Green Greets to all the fellow growers!!

TommyBVRSA75 Well, magnificent continues to be the incredibly vital way in which the Blueberry autoflower from PEV keeps thriving. Incredible the excellent genetics of this backcross and great signs of how it's integrating nutrients into a substrate that was an experience for me, this Lava Soil from B.A.C. at the beginning and very visible, and while the areas of substrate that hadn't been moistened in the first days, as I told you, my first impression was that this substrate had a very strong tendency for the absorption of the water/nutrient solution and that watering would have to be very consistent at about one liter a day.
As the days went by and with the substrate now more saturated with water, it becomes clear that I won't need to give it as much water as I thought, and in the most recent days, I'm alternating between one day with a liter of Megariz/Grow Base solution and another day where, for safety and to balance the essential integration of Magnesium that CalMagSi can provide, I water with a spray bottle in a smaller and more superficial amount.
It has also been an option in the most recent days to add mycorrhizae grains on the surface to assist in the perfect integration of nutrients, and as I was used to working with coconut substrate in the closer times, it was also necessary to adjust the pH to 6.4. The nutrients from Witcher's Potion by Cannaboom, due to their design for use in water with a perfect EC of 0.4 √s, and because the water I use for watering is collected from the dehumidifier, which generally requires an acid agent to lower its pH (it tends to be around 8 pH, so even without mineralization, it's very basic water, it needs to be "worked" to stay around 6.4/6.5, which is the perfect pH rate for our autoflower to become supersonic.
If you take a look at the photos, I chose not to use flash to give you the real spectrum image from both 26w and 5600 K PLEDs that are now working simultaneously with the main Bluerple LED, the Phytoled NX2 200 (with 4 LED modules and 192 nominal watts)... so we have the perfect light coverage, we have the perfect nutrient rates, we have the desirable absorption rate, and we are experiencing magnificent growth levels.
Maybe because I talked to you about the tendency to "flatten" that the pink spectrum of the Bluerple LED gives to grows in the first 4 weeks, as you can see, we already have the grow secured by two pins to twist it in LST and so that the side PLEDs can penetrate the inner areas... with this, the goal is to start creating lateral structure right now so that the nodes can generate early signs of flowering and thus multiply as much as possible the number and size of the buds that our Blueberry can "gift" us in the end, and with the side PLED tubes, we can shorten the flattening that the main LED tends to generate in grows in a couple of weeks.
The God Jah, who knows everything and at all times lets himself be heard so that we do our best in the grows, through the accumulated experiences gives us the tools to make each grow better than the last one we've had, and surely, as this Blueberry teaches me, it has been a very happy option in my return to autoflowers. They are simple, and if you don't go out to invent because everything is already invented in this, the God Jah, who knows everything, protects us from those who want to make us criminals for cultivating these wonders of botany and because a couple of plants that we grow with so much love are not to make a living, but to have a good time and let our friends enjoy it with us... as God Jah said, in the end, he rewards us for doing the best we know and can for our "ladies."
420 always and a Green Greets to all the brother growers and lovers of the most beautiful plant in the universe.

TommyBVRSA75 Well, you see, day 20 and here in these parts, unbeatable, super companions.
The "girl" blue - the Blueberry from PEVGrow is showing champion qualities.
Perfect progress in her development and I couldn't have made a better choice than using the 26-watt growth PLEDs as auxiliary... So with the two little tubes at a level lower than the main NX 2 200 and 192 nominal watts but with Bluerple spectrum, the grow has started to do what nature would typically do, which is to take a vertical stretch in the vegetative stage.
So I'm showing you the photos of how she has turned into a real ship with very short internodes and with the potential for the side branches to keep coming out while the central cola develops.
I already see signs of pre-flowering, so this week I will apply the Delta Nine from Cannabiogen foliar and always keeping the pH at 6.5 and the EC rates within what Cannaboom recommends for its mineral line Witcher's Potion and there it goes... the automatics and their simplicity when you already have the bar set higher due to the challenges that the pending photos and the work in hydroponics and coco impose on you. Here the key word and action is to have an understanding of what your substrate in use has in terms of absorption and keeping the pH at 6.5 as a constant and the nutrient supply to remain within what the cultivation tables recommend, and if you have to make variations, know very clearly which minerals you are integrating and that based on the signals we start to nourish them for flowering in their time and with what they need. The Lavasoil substrate from B.A.C. is simply perfect, and any gaps it may have in P and K absorption can be compensated with the CalMagSi from the line, and since we are on the way to flowering, making decisions like today and diluting some good black molasses to feed the rhizosphere and integrate water and the most important nutrients in the best way, but also some like iron, zinc, and molybdenum that due to their limited availability characteristics, are microelements that ultimately make the difference between success and failure in terms of buds - quality, quantity, size, and density.
God Jah is good to those who treat and respect his creations with all the love and good knowledge you can give them, and the Blueberry shows wonderful signs... it has that dark green where the anthocyanins live that will give you the purple colors, and as long as the temperatures are lower and the phenotype has conditions to express itself.
In the end, and because we are about ten days away from our automatic starting its flowering cycle, we have already changed its "food" and have started giving it the mineral flowering inducer, which is Actiboom, and we have sprayed it and given the excess in fertigation to the usual guest, the very organic Delta 9 from Cannabiogen, and with that, we have given all the reasons for flowering to start as soon as possible. Today we completed day 21, and with three weeks, it's the right time to start adjusting its feeding so that it arrives strong for flowering. I am very aware that while the first pistils start to appear, it will continue to expand vertically, and the lateral nodes will end up designing the very characteristic satellite structure of this automatic, and that's where we are...
420 always and a hug the size of the world to the brother followers.

TommyBVRSA75 Finally, just like the photoperiod plants, I'm switching to organic nutrients, adding the bacterial cocktail TNCs13 and a bit of PK under the right conditions, and the outlines of flowering are already very clear and ready to explode. The harvest is scheduled for January 12, which means we'll be going full throttle for the next six weeks.
I've processed the defoliation to substrate base levels, and the growth of this season's autoflower from Autumn is still an exemplary one with enormous genetic quality and optimal climate and nutrition conditions.
As you can see, things are still in the early stages, and I've started to "connect the cables" for flowering. I've been very attentive to the pre-flowering signals, but something's happening as I see nitrogen being integrated, and with that, the growth has already reached a considerable vertical size, plus the cabinet where the grow started is getting small for the reach that the grow is taking.
God Jah continues to provide wonderful things to this grow, and despite being autoflower, its enormous quality keeps "drawing" itself more and more every day.
420 always and Green Greets to all the grower brothers.
I look forward to your feedback...

TommyBVRSA75 Well, very well, friends, the "marimorena" has been set off with this season's autoflowering. The use of TNC Bactorr s13 and the atmospheric integration of nitrogen by symbiotic bacteria during the final part of the vegetative stage skyrocketed to a tremendous limit, and now I almost have to put the "girl" on a nitrogen diet. I made a very inaccurate calculation about the cycle weeks, and my idea of giving her a boost and starting to load her with PK for a flowering that shouldn't have happened as quickly as I thought has led to a misjudgment with "mega" consequences. As you can see, I no longer have a cabinet for the grow, and I had to hastily disconnect the two 5100 K growth supports (the two auxiliary PLED growth tubes), and I even had to improvise by wrapping the guides of the main LED since there was no more space for "cane" vertically, and it's overflowing on the sides. Let's see, just today, exactly 5 weeks have passed since I put the seed in the wet paper... so only on November 6, the grow could assume seedling condition, and with that, exactly 30 days have passed since the transplant of the seed in the jiffy pot to the pot. So today marks the "fucking" 30 days since the start of the seedling stage, and as such, today officially marks the beginning of flowering because today, the pistils were clearly seen coming out of the tops (meaning the idea I had that flowering couldn't start and would be delayed) is actually perfectly timed, and thank goodness I've already taken measures to completely halt the vegetative growth. If you look at the photos, what a monster has been created, and we will have to take it as calmly as possible because there's a "forest" of branches and flowering points all along the grow. The nutrition that has already had a good amount of PK has provided a solid boost to start flowering.
Let's see if you notice, there's not a hint of over-fertilization, and it's perfect, as the darker green color is part of the strain...
In this, things have their time, and the rules of autoflowering are entirely theirs; what doesn't make them start flowering can always be due to light deficiency or changes in it; from overwatering, which hasn't happened at all, and another thing would be the quality of the genetics, which is unquestionable... this morning, because I hadn't looked closely at the diary entry dates, I thought, "to hell with it, the autoflowering has messed me up, and it's not going to start flowering, and I'll have to throw it in the trash." From what I had in mind, I hadn't seen carefully that the entire structure of pistils is already present and that now, in a "flash," the autoflowering will start to gain "speed" for flowering and so on... point and aside, flowering has already started, and since I've been doing this for a few years, I'll now have to be extra careful with nitrogen levels, and for sure, if I even need to cut back some hours of lighting and put it on a 14/10 or 16/8 cycle, so be it, because there's no way to try to slow it down now that it's in flowering; if it stops for ten days due to topping, we'll have "little buds" without size and density, and if for some autoflowering strains that's already a normal problem, just imagine the risk of doing it.
God Jah woke me up today for the timing of the autoflowering grow cycle, and let's see if this will finish in more than a month at most. May God Jah protect all the buddies and me from the "habit police" and from those who are looking for the "criminals" who plant two grows per season, and may I be spared from making a mistake like this again, thinking I'm in week 8 when I'm just entering week 5.
A super 420 to everyone and Green Greets as always... until next week if possible...

TommyBVRSA75 So, week 6 and finally the flowering explosion has started.
It's become very necessary to do LST on the top branches, and I've bent them with plastic pins to give "path" to the twists of the tips of the canopy of the autoflower.
In the last few weeks, it's been a struggle trying to slow down the enormous pull of this cultivar, as if it were still integrating nitrogen like crazy, and with that, the central branches keep shooting up, even trying to maintain distance from the LED light, the branches are still reaching for the "sky." About a little more than a week ago, there was a need for a significant defoliation, as the lower part of the grow was severely absorbing the flowering production capacity. The "vampire" branches are normal, junk that the autoflower genetics create in abundance due to nitrogen integration, and with that, the abundance of branches with flowering points that are not viable and that disperse the energy needed for the buds to develop in the upper areas with the desired volume and density.
Something immediately stands out, which is the pungency of the aroma that is now very noticeable, and it is now very clear that the bud formation process is perfectly underway. The day count is currently - 18/12/2023 - at 48 days, meaning we are at the limit of the 6th for the 7th week, and now the outlines of the buds are very defined. It is very clear that there will be larger and more voluminous buds alongside the central area, and there will also be more along the middle of the plant, which will likely not be buds of a reasonable size, but for me, that remains the most evident handicap in autoflowers.
There are always those who make selective cuts of areas of buds that are maturing, but for me, that goes against nature, like completing a flush... if you cut the canopy and the main satellite branches with their buds, it will be unthinkable for the remaining ones to develop after cutting other branches, for the simple reason that the cut, as a rule, due to the stress caused and the natural characteristics of autoflowers, immediately suppresses any development from there on. Therefore, the only possibility is (and it's a necessary evil) to let the main buds (the tips of the canopy and the central cola) mature almost to the limit and then allow the smaller buds to grow to the limit. But, that's how things are, and what we can balance when we are about to harvest. What confuses me the most about autoflowers is that some (not to say a majority) are currently and in recent genetics turning into something very interesting in the final smoke result, but for me, they still feel like the story of the uncle who is cold at night and has a short blanket; if he covers his feet, his torso is left uncovered, and if he covers his body, his feet are out... meaning they are cultivars programmed for almost mechanical development... you know you have that two-week margin between what the banks inform you they take to grow and the time that ultimately makes it clear that you can't keep giving them "juice" ad aeternum and expecting them to look like photoperiods, knowing that the grow is ready to max out. Autoflowers also have very particular things, and while I've had autoflowers from the "fucking amazing" category that are incredibly good, and there's no need to give the finger to bank 42 FastBuds, there is one autoflower they have, their dwarf Russian Autk, which is one of my all-time favorite strains for its flavor and consistency as great smoke material, and there's no doubt about that. But then there are autoflowers that are just bad and weak in every aspect.
But there is also something very clear, that there are banks that maintain some photoperiods, that there's no way to turn the painful into something of good quality, and there's something in my diaries that I developed not too long ago, which was one of the biggest disappointments I've had in my life as a grower, and that's how things are... what really matters this season is that maybe I'm ecstatic with the "gift of the gods" that Ripper Seeds has given me with their two photoperiod strains... the excellent Blueberry also shines in the autoflower category, and now it's clear that it explodes and explodes without a doubt because last week we had to wait for the normal "shock" of the extensive defoliation done to the plant, which involved a natural "pause" of a few days to recover from the stress, and to limit it a lot, I have to say it was thanks to a great contribution from the organic nutrient line, Madame Grow, and their excellent Lacalva Anti-Stress.
Well, as always, we're going long, and of course, always praying to God Jah to keep us safe from the eyes and fascist snitches who classify as criminals those who plant two grows to smoke with friends.
May he also protect us from some unexpected pathogen so that we can bring to a beautiful end an autoflower that started a bit without great enthusiasm and now promises.
420 always and that Green hug to everyone in the cannabis community.

TommyBVRSA75 Almost at the final plan, the autoflowering one.
Drying leaves of buds is underway, aiming for the cut on January 22nd.
The smell of forest fruits is very particular, and the purple colors have been gaining intensity in the last few days.
We're still dealing with the typical limitations of autoflowering strains, and of course, it's always a bit tricky to create a balance between perfectly developed buds and material at the base that is still developing, which makes it extremely important that the buds we will harvest are at their perfect point.
God Jah with everyone and protecting us from all dangers.
420 forever!
