Thank you to FastBuds for providing the seeds for this grow! Unfortunately only 2 of the 3 seeds survived germination. I put this down to a bad seed.
Welcome to my second ever grow! I’m still finishing off my first grow, but decided to germinate these girls to get a little head start.
All seeds were soaked in water for 24hrs, and immediately after saw the first signs of the seeds popping. They were then transferred to a soil rooter. What followed was 24 hrs under a small lamp, with the taproot quickly making its way down to the bottom of the rooter. They were then transferred to their 10L pots in the tent.
True leaves are coming through, with Rhizotonic at 2ml/L being sprayed directly on soil and plant.
My initial aims are to try to not overwater in these early stages, as I believe this was a rookie mistake on my first grow. Feeding needs to remain light as I’ve followed a few diaries of this strain, and it seems blackberry is sensitive to nutes. Any advice on this strain would be appreciated.
I’ll also be feeding ph perfect micro grow bloom from Advanced Nutrients (1/4 of recommended amount) as well as CalMag. During veg I’ll likely spray directly onto leaves ph balanced water with CalMag. Feeding will likely begin in 2nd or 3rd week, I’m planning on trying to look at these plants with much more detail, teaching myself to read the plants more.
Thanks for stopping by, I’m sure it’s a few weeks away until this diary gets interesting,
@Fast_Buds,common deficiencies, sensitivities, resistances. Do they respond well to topping etc?
At some point they’ll likely move to 12/12 because I’ll be adding some photoperiods to the tent. Unless you wanted to send me more autos that is 😂
I had Calmag deficiency on my previous auto LSD-25 grow which stunted her growth. This time I'm growing auto Blackberries but mixed in some Dolomite lime to the soil and increased CalMag dosage to feed. So far so good at week4. These auto strains need the added CalMag. Good luck and happy growing!
@Short_N_stockY, I’ve been adding CalMag directly to feed as well as foliage spraying on, so it’s definitely not a CalMag issue - I learnt my mistake from my first grow, thinking I can get by without CalMag. Oh well, they’re too far into flower to actually grow at this point I think.
My next fastbuds grow will be Sea of Green 6-8 seeds of lemon ak
