Blackberry Auto

Lights were at 38% strength last week. Adjusted to 50% today. Quarter turn pots every seven days. Daily morning mistings.

Lights are at 85-90% strength. It is very hot outside and has been all summer. Doing my best to keep the temps down inside the room. I have the air flowing in the tent as good as I can get it. Hoping the temp outside cools before long. I may have started them too early in the season. Lights will go to 100% by the end of the next seven days and I’ll move these two to the other tent so I can start three more in this one because it has the light dimmer for the new seedlings. The growth of these two seems to be fast and healthy. Believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ according to scripture. Pray for understanding and to rightly divide the word of truth. To know the difference between what was promised to Israel and the mystery of the Body of Christ which is what we are baptized into the moment we believe. Jesus WILL return and the Body of Christ will be raptured before he returns to the earth. When he returns it will be to continue the kingdom program that he promised to Israel, where salvation is earned by works. Those in the Body of Christ are saved by grace for believing in his death, burial, and resurrection. Kingdom program - if you do this, God will bless you Body of Christ - you are blessed, now go do Saved by grace. Thank you Father for your mercy and grace toward all in this dispensation. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. It is impossible for man to be saved by his own works. All we can do is believe in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection according to scripture and our sins are forgiven and we are permanently saved. Once we believe, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. We cannot lose our salvation. Being sealed with the Holy Spirit and immediately placed into the Body of Christ the moment we believe ensures our salvation. When god says sealed, it’s permanent. You can fall, or lose faith but you will always be saved. Man will always sin. Our standing will never change. We are saved by grace. Our state fluctuates in life in what we do to glorify or not glorify God, but our standing is permanent.

Blackberry Auto 1 is 11.5” tall and the light is 18” from the top of it. Blackberry Auto 2 is 13.5” tall and the light is 16” from its top. Light has been at 100% since 5 days ago. Daily morning mistings. Plants have grown significantly in the last seven days. Looks to be starting to flower soon. pH is a consistent 6.5 for all waterings. Added some cal-mag last watering. No other nutrients have been given so far. Going to start flowering nutrients this coming week and transferring to the 3x3 tent tomorrow. I have three seeds, Pineapple Express Auto, that have been soaked for 48 hrs and are now in a wet paper towel inside a ziploc bag until I plant them tomorrow and place them in this 4x4 tent.

Smells like reefer. But absolutely no odor outside of tent. AC Infinity carbon filter and exhaust fan are great. I’ve taken minimal foliage from the bottom so that the leaves wouldn’t sag into the wet soil as I watered/fed them. Explosive growth this last week. The flowers are starting to show those dark purple hues that I like. Spray bottle had some cal-mag in it this week and they absolutely loved it. Back to pH’d tap water for now since I use it on my Pineapple Express Auto seedlings also. Plants have stretched for sure and my light rig is almost at its max. May need to improvise slightly if they keep reaching. Blackberry Auto 1 is 24” with the light distance being 13”. Blackberry Auto 2 is 25” with the light distance being 12”.

Light defoliation at the bottom. Cal-mag also applied as a foliar spray. Drinking everything I give them quickly. Feeding nutrients every other watering. Quarter turn the pots every seven days. They may be done stretching as they only grew two inches in height over the last week. Beautiful purple tones on both flowers. Very happy about that. It’s “exotic.” Smells great and very pleasant to gaze upon. This grow is flying by, love Fastbuds420

Smells fruity. Too much nutes apparently but they are doing great. Probably nothing but plain pH’d tap water now through the finish line. Seems to be going faster to finish than past grows of this. They will gain mass over the next couple weeks and then harvest after the flushing. Blackberry Auto 1 is 27.5” and the light is 11” from the main cola. Blackberry Auto 2 is 27” and the light is 11.5” from main cola. A main side branch was weak and was tethered to the main stalk to support it earlier this week. All is well now.

Flushed these two a couple days ago. Ran 10-12 gallons of plain pH’d tap water through them. While lifting Blackberry Auto 1 to help it drain, I was a dumbass and smashed the main cola against the ceiling. My ceiling height is only 72”. The main cola bent in half and then the main stalk bent in half. Thankfully they didn’t fully snap in two. I staked her with a bamboo rod and applied a splint to the base of the main cola using a q tip with the ends cut off. Some other branches were weakened and laying all out. I applied some string to them to help it support itself. After going through this I noticed that Blackberry Auto 2 was laying all out due to the weight of her buds on the side branches. So I spent the next hour Jerry rigging more support throughout herself with more string. Good news is that they are both flushed thoroughly and the main cola and its supporting stem are still carrying water up to the buds as I haven’t noticed them dying off or drying out. I am very thankful and hope for continued success. Harvest doesn’t seem to far away and they are really thickening up. This seems like it’s going to be the fastest of the seed to harvest cycles this strain has performed for me. I’ve grown this strain three times in the past.

Pictures were just before I turned the lights off. Lights are now off for 48 hours before harvest. Blackberry Auto 1 is 28” Blackberry Auto 2 is 27.5” and the colas are weighing her down. All trichomes are milky clouds with a few ambers. Next update will be harvest day with wet weight after trim. Will update again when they are dried for final dry weight.

Photo of Blackberry 2 is after a day of drying. Took photos of both dry boxes after having harvested Blackberry Auto 1 the day after harvesting Blackberry Auto 2.
