She’s starting to stretch out a bit now ,
Just been tying her down spreading her out .
Super soil seems to be working good I haven’t spotted and deficiencies.
I’ve just been watering with cal mag and mammoth microbes with rain water .
Plant is still powering on loving the super soil .
No deficiencies,
lst is working well.
I will mix up some early flower compost tea this week with some molasses to see if it helps her grow .
compost tea worked well ,
Added sea bird Guano as a top amendment.
Showing cal mag deficiency I think with whit spots on leaves ??.
So I upped the dosage a little .
Depends. If you are having humidity/airflow issues or light is being blocked from reaching lower flowering sites, then yes defol a little more. If not then just leave it be. Based on your photos I believe you are fine where you are. In flowering, you don't want to defol a lot because it can stress the plant. I usually will defol a fair bit during the stretch that happens the first few weeks of flower and then just maintenance defol of 5 leaves or so a day each plant as needed to keep light penetrating deep into the plant.
Still watering with compost tea molasses and guano amendment .
She is starting to swell .
I’m pretty happy with how it’s been going considering all I’ve done is low stress trained and defoliate her a little .
I think she was getting a little wind stress I saw white spots on the leaves and some brown tips .
Still going well , the buds are still swelling up .
I’ve just been adding guano top amendment for more phosphorus and letting the super soil do it’s thing .
A lot of the pistols are still white so I’m guessing it still has a few weeks to go ?.
No real strong smell yet and no blackberry colour 😕.
was slow to start .
Reasonably easy to grow .
I used supersoil and coco and it seemed to work not to bad .
The buds aren’t as dense as I would have liked
But there is lots of trichomes .
Smells good , lots of trichromes .
Hey there!
Thanks so much for growing our genetics =)
Good luck with your Blackberry Auto, if you need any assistance, just let us know! 🙌🏼
Happy Growing 💚🌱
Hi @Grandpappyshlong! Defoliation is awesome when done correctly, but it could be a nightmare if done too much or at the wrong time. Before removing a leaf, I always ask myself: is this leaf really blocking the light? For how many nodes / bud sites? How close are the next leaves? How healthy is this leaf? You should make your own experiments and see how it goes. Keep us up-to-date, happy growing! 👊
