Sep 14: starting the ninth week of flowering and getting close to the finish. Buds are still putting out new pistils and definitely packing on weight. Also cool nights lately so there is some purple and blue colour starting.
This is one of my favourite all time grows, and possibly the best.
Sep 15: she is definitely packing on weight and if there was no support the outer manifold branches would be collapsing. Every single day I’m amazed at the daily progress on this plant. Definitely this year’s star.
Sep 17: still going. New flowers are still forming so she’ll be going a bit longer. I want her done by the end of September if possible. Not that I’m complaining about more flower growth it’s just the sun gets weak and then it often gets too cold by mid October. I want ripe buds and not stragglers.
Sep 18: I was thinking to start harvesting this weekend but the flowers are still blooming so I’ll put it off at least another week.
Sep 20: some rain overnight the last few day. I have shaken the branches to get off excess water, but I found two small patches of bud rot (identified by dead leaves) that were removed and I then harvested the nearby bud. 49 g wet bud now hanging. These buds are huge and likely slow to dry thoroughly.

@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
