Blackberry Moonrocks

01/06/25. Starting week 1 She’s a tall one so far, taller than all her friends by half an inch. She seems happy about it. Point little leaves. It’s a bit colder than I think is good right now. The day temps are where I’d prefer the night to be. Might need to put a portable heater soon. The temperature just isn’t staying up with the rest of the place. Soils pretty dry now. I’m going to water today. I imagine the water will run right through, so I’ll be spraying the top a bit to get it damp and then slowly watering to make sure the soil actually absorbs some of it. I’ve complained about my light being a dud or something (the viparspectra) and now I’m pretty sure it is. I have the light at 13 inches up at 50% and still getting stretched stems. This light should be 24 inches or more away supposedly at this age. Been like this since sprout as well. lol. Whatever. At this stage not much else to report on. Thanks for looking ✌️

01/13/25. Beginning of week 2. Not much to report on this girl. She’s just you know.. being a plant and stuff. Gave her plain ph’d water today. Watering her when top of soil is dry and pot if light. I gave her a very light feeding the water before this one. It was at half the manufacturer listed for a seedling. So 0.6 ml across the 3 parts. I think maybe she’s a light eater and didn’t really need it as she’s looking pretty dark. Gonna not do that again for a minute lol. Thanks for lookin

01/21/25. Jumpin into the start of week 3. She’s truckin along. This girls stem seems long and thin. She does have a fan light blowing air, but doesn’t seem to matter. I hope she works on strengthening the thing. Other than that all seems good with her. I gave her water with half the manufacturer recommended ratio of nutrients So 0.6 across each three part. I was going to hold back because she was very dark, but I noticed her cotyledons going yellow and she’s paling a bit now. It’s been REALLY cold where I’m at and it’s been hard to even keep the whole house at 70 f or above. The little baby plants have been lucky to get even 70 as a temperature. The polar vortex thinger should be giving us a break tomorrow, supposedly, so should warm up a bit. Light is at 18 inches up and about 90%. Oh, she was also transplanted yesterday into a 1 gallon nursery pot. Thanks for lookin. ✌️

01/27/25. Welcome to the start of week 4. This girl has gotten happier this week with a bit warmer of temperatures. I think she’s more sensitive than some others. She was not growing much until yesterday. She fallen behind most of her friends. I think she’ll catch up and be fine though. She was just watered yesterday, slowly, until a bit of run off. I’ve upped her food to 2.5 across 3 parts, as well as upped calmag (1) and silica (2). I pulled a dip shit move and left my measuring tape in the flower tent and it’s lights off, so I’ll have to come back tomorrow to update that. She’s at 3 nodes and as soon as she’s got 5 I’ll be topping her. Update: 01/29/25- updated measurement and watered. Thanks for lookin. ✌️

02/03/25. Start of week 5 This lady is doing well. She is still a bit smaller than her friends but she appears to be happy and healthy. Haven’t topped her still. Hopefully soon. I’d guess next day or so. She was plain watered today, slowly, until runoff. Roots are starting to hit bottom so she’ll probably need a transplant soon. She’s drinking every 2-3 days. She’s having some nice growth the past few days now that it’s not cold af. She’s enjoying the heat. Not much else going on currently. If anything else happens I’ll come back and update. Thanks for lookin. ✌️

02/11/25 start of week 6 The little one has been transplanted into a 2 gallon now. I usually woulda put her in her final pot but I have limited room at the moment.. so she’ll have to be transplanted again later. She has also been topped a second time snd is chillen. She smaller than everyone else but she’s healthy and happy b Watering whenever her pots light/soils dry, with no set amount- water slowly until a bit of run off. Since she just got into fresh soil I watered last with just silica and calmag. She’s 7 inches tall now. Just saying it here because GD is being weird and the numbers keep saying different than what I put. Think that covered everything. Thanks for lookin.

02/17/25. Start week 7 veg Transplanted to final home and moved into flower tent. Not flipping yet. Switched the timers to veg mode. I want this grow to do at least 8 weeks veg. This one’s the slowest with branching. I’m hoping she gets going faster before the flip. She was watered in and fed after transplant She’s now under the 320w at 50% about 24 inches away. If I notice any problems I’ll adjust the dim. It’s gotten really cold again so I’m guessing growth will slow down like a couple weeks back :( The cold has been a big pain in the ass this grow

02/24/25. Start of week 8 veg I would already be flipping this grow by now but I’ve been topping and doing lst to this girl to try to get more bud sites. She’s doing just fine.. she’s just slower than the rest. She just hasn’t had the branching the others have. She’s always been more petite and slower though so it’s all good. She’s currently drinking about half a gallon of water every 2-3 days. I feed her a bit less than the others because she just doesn’t grow at a crazy rate like they do. The ratios up top are for real lol. This one just might be more sensitive to cold than the rest. The temperatures have been all over the place with it going cold and colder outside. Sometimes we’re 75-80 in the days and others were lucky to get 70. Ugh. I’ll welcome spring yesterday.. Nothing else really to mention for now. Looking forward to 12/12 soon :) 02/26/25- did some more last minute training and cleaned up around her nether regions and got rid of lower growth. Added pictures 02/27/25- watered/fed half a gallon Thanks for lookin. ✌️✌️

03/03/25. It’s flip time! Day 1 flower let’s go Wow look at this girl since last update. The training REALLY made a difference here. I’m completely happy with her shape/structure now. I think this is the best training outcome I’ve had yet. In preparation for flower, I took out a few leaves that were bunched together that I felt would cause airflow issues. I cleaned up the bottom some, but still have some more to do there within the next couple weeks. Changed nutrition ratios to transitional for more balance. She has been watered today with nutrients. She is drinking about a half gallon with some run off. She’s getting water every 3 days currently. I have been doing every other water on her food, but just because she’s probably about to put in some serious work, I want to make sure she’s not lacking. Hopefully this doesn’t overdo it. She’s the smallest little thing, you can see the plant behind her towers above her. She barely stands 12 inches tall. She’s beautiful though. Nothing else happening for now. Let’s get stretching 😳😳
