Aug 31: now done six weeks of flowering. Started force flowering by putting her in the dark garage for 10 h plus two hours of bonus darkness by using a 730 nm far red light at dusk as a bloom booster. After three weeks of moving in and out of garage I’ve just been using the red light at dusk. I use Civil Twilight as listed on dateandtime.com for my location. Civil Twilight is getting earlier by about 3 min per night and will be at 9 pm tonight.
Awesome plant should be 2-3 weeks to finish and the weather forecast is perfect for next two weeks. Should be a strong finish, and we’re still in August. Awesome.
Sep 1: flowers are huge and progressing quickly. The top buds seemed to change colour a bit today. Overnight temperatures are still above 10 C so no purple colour showing yet. Maybe right at the end in a couple of weeks she’ll show some extra colour.
Sep 3: buds are getting big, dense and sticky. Perfect.
Sep 4: flash pics are okay if using the 730 nm far red light right after. If you don’t have a red light, don’t take flash pics of your photoperiod plants. Nice big buds are quite hard too. Very nice.

@Still_Smoq, right on, thanks. Should be good, I’ve got some new UV lights to use during peak sunlight hours to make Edmonton in September seem like California in July. 👍👍
and for outdoor? holy shit, they are starting to flower 3 week after the lighthours getting shorter, thats the total point in growing outdoors, getting a fast flowering
or fsat into flower strain- i am in love
@musashi_miyamoto, thanks. I just measured the diameter at 44” or 1.12 m. With area equal to pi x r-squared that is very close to 1 m2. I want to see if I can break a pound of dried bud (454 g) from each of my photoperiod plants, and it is looking possible. 👍
@musashi_miyamoto, yeah the Euphoria seems a bit ahead in part because it recovered quicker after the last round of topping. For a couple days the fan leaves got bigger on the BB Pie, but the growth tips were slower to grow than on Euphoria. Could be just the heat, and now we get 7 days above 30 C with two days at 35 C. That’s hot anywhere, including here.
Looking good! Glad you caught that rot early. Just snipped my first few spots sadly, and I have my grow tarped during rain and overnight, so dry as a bone, but that 97% humidity overnight makes it a challenge. Do you ever spray anyhthing for rot? H202?
@Northern_Ent, a little late now, but this I what I used to cultivate Lab at home https://www.rebootedmom.com/lactobacillus-serum-lab-serum/. It's good for like 6 months with molasses, so I also add it during flower in addition to once a week foliar spray.
@Arcadium, there was actually quite a lot of spots where you could see the rot was starting, like 10-12, so even just a couple more days would have been a disaster. That load is in the freeze dryer now so that will kill any and all microorganisms like yeast mould or bacteria. Harvest problem solved. 👍
@Arcadium, one year at the farm I did a lot of lactic acid bacteria foliar sprays and that seemed to work as I had zero rot all season. I commented on that once and an answer back was to just use a dilute milk solution which will have enough LAB to outcompete the mould. I still haven’t tried that but I might this year. My Overdose is being slow and the strain write-up from Divine suggests rot can be a problem. I’ll have to go buy some milk.
Hydrogen peroxide is a maybe in that it’s easy to overdo and cause real damage. Dilute milk sounds much more benign.
Mostly airflow is key prevention and is always better than a cure.
@Arcadium, hey, valid question. My Auto Overdose wasn’t an auto, and last year’s Gorilla Cookies vs Gorilla Sherbet thing, but, yes, as far as I know, this is Blueberry Pie F1 Fast. Great strain, and Mrs. Larimar has also said she’ll be growing this one next year. So far, so great, and I’m at that stage where you’re trying to judge when to harvest. Soon, and I’ll take the tops first and give rest another week or two. It will be all down before end of September which is great.
Wow, iaimpressed, shes a darling directly from start, and those fat and big leaves,
i know where iam buying my next seeds, those hybrids are awsome,
virgour, string and awsome looking, welldone welldone, and crossing finger
iam feeling they have to give more prizes , if the other plants look as awsome as ours
