I feel like I really identify with this strain. This is only the second one I've grown but I can read her well. If you think you've got a green pheno, try dropping your nitrogen and your temps to trigger her genetics (epigenetics) to influence her phenotype. This girl is almost done. She's right on schedule. Her trichomes are about 90% cloudy. I'll let her hit up to 20% oxidized. She's fattening up nicely. Her bud structure is much different than the first Blackberry, she's much more solid/ dense.
I agree with your comments, no smell unless I touch a calyx lower down the stems then I get a hint of chocolates and berries. So the ice cold spray is working then, I can see the hints of purple on yours mine hasn't showed anything might have to follow up with the cold spray :) looking good 👍🏼
@DaGrowQueen, I've grown her once before and she's been by far the tastiest. The high is the best sleep medication at night but also makes you feel like you're glowing in this fall weather on walks
I often check on your last blackberry run to see what to expect for the future, the pheno you had last time was beautiful I hope to get something even close to that. I'm growing this strain too just shy of week 3 looking good so far about on par with your current blackberry grow if you check day for day they look identical. I'm following this diary😃 Grow on fella👍🏼
@PharmaZ, much appreciated brotha. They're quite literally identical and looking strong. To me that shows the quality/ stability of FastBuds blackberry genetics. And yeah that first Blackberry was a stunner and made me fall in love with growing. Best of luck! I'll be following too.

I don’t think it’s enough to notice either but Mark @DinaFemSeeds confirmed here recently they have grown and then tested for essential oil production, with and without extended dark periods, and their findings show a 2.5% increase in oil production on the plants kept dark for 72 hours.
That’s not much, but I’ll take it!
I have yet to test my theory- increase the dark period in increasing increments starting about a week and a half before harvest. So instead of 12/12 it’s 12/16
The next ‘day’ after that is 12/22
Then 12/30
12/44
By harvest the last day will be 12/72.
So many ideas and not enough time to explore them all! And for what anyway? Maybe a few % points. We sure love our hobby, don’t we?
Enjoy your harvest. Those flowers are all pro, sir!
Looking big fella, and the calyx development is beautiful! I will tell you, the couch lock effect is present in my BB and id already harvested at 60 days. Curing her now👍🏼
Time lapse was very cool, waiting eagerly for update fella :) Purley b cause I want to know if yours is purplish mine hasn't shown any signs yet... I've created a week 5 post because I started bloom nutes on her my BB is 31 days old probably same age as yours
@PharmaZ, gracias man. yeah mine will be 35 days old tomorrow. I like to upload when they've reached the end of that week. Mine has not showed any signs of purple yet either. I may try a few tricks to pull the purples out of her epigenetic-ly. I've been moving her just recently to the basement in her dark hours where it's 60ish degrees. When I spray her leaves with unchlorinated water, I make sure it's ice cold. I may even skip a feed or just use Bloom nutes nothing nitrogen based to trigger her too. I'm pulling out all my tricks on her because my firstgrow she was showing purples now, but she flowered in the prime of winter so the night temps would plummet.
