I dont think I ran into one problem with this girl. She was very compliant and super hardy, yet exotic. This was a fantastic strain by Fast-Buds to use as a first grow. Her smell exudes crushed berries. I could honestly grow this beautiful plant for the rest of my life and be content. I would recommend this as a beginner plant to anyone. Her colors and smell really ignited this new passion. Update on the smoke: Smoking with a vape youre pretty much drinking blackberry juice shes so sweet and smooth like an exotic punch. Her smell is intoxicating and really smells nothing like weed. It smells more like an earthy berry yankee candle. Its berry tang hits you though opening up those jars every 24 hoursπŸ˜‹. It ignites my senses. The high is such a nice happy cozy elegant feeling. You can just lie there relaxed in bed thinking about positive daydreams and reflections on some of your favorite life moments while feeling like humbled royalty. This can be smoked to a psychedelic level pretty mildly. You become hyperconcious of sound falling victim to the rhythmic vibrations of all objects that seem to echo their way into your body. Music on this bose speaker sounds so silky. Visuals come in and out like a sine-wave intensifying and relaxing slowly. I remember the ceiling looking wavy and geometric of sorts. And then your waking up to your morning alarm. I have tried using this strain with activity and it was nice. I took a nice geometric walk around the city blocks with my gf feeling like i was glowing, everything felt so good. Definitely that high that makes it feel good to move your feet a little.

Reviews. Nutrient
Big Bloom: She handled Big Bloom well especially because of its organic nature. I cannot accurately say anything else in regards to this product due to the cal-mag deficiency and confounding factors Grow Big: She does well with Fox-Farm nutrients but I would advice to flush her and THEN feed her Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom and a touch of Grow Big 20 minutes after her flush. This way her roots are really ready and raring to go for nutrient uptake, yet she wont show premature signs of flush with chlorophyll changes in the leaves (green chlorophyll maximizes photosynthesis and therefore the amount/intensity of energy for bud formation). Tiger Bloom: She never reacted negativel to this product but again, I cannot accurately say anything else in regards to this product due to t

Harvested on Day 70 after a 2 week flush. I just took the colas off their hangers and cut them up into their individual buds. They were hanging for about 4-5 days and have been placed in their quart-sized wide-mouth mason jars to cure. Although Gorilla Glue took up 2 jars and Blackberry took up 4, their dry weight will probably be equal. Im finding the buds to be less dense and "airier" in comparison, but Im not one to harp on density.

Hay bro you have done a great job so far and you are not far from the end, you have done the right thing by flushing (when In doubt flush her out) ...... I think you have a magnesium deficiency due to the slightly low PH, calcium and magnesium are only absorbed above 6.5 so you need to get it up slightly. If you google search cannabis ph chart and look at the images you will see at what ph nutrients are absorbed.
Leeyum
Leeyumcommented8 years ago
@TaNg, awesome thank you for the great advice. I'm going to give her some cal-mag tomorrow and at a higher pH like you said and and how she does.

the_Elviscommentedweek 68 years ago
Hi Leeyum, Your are getting what I call the 35 day PH swing.. tang is right that your PH is off but the question is how far off! On your next grow using soil add some lime to it.. this will stop that swing from happening. Do you have a PH meter? can you tell me what your soil PH is right now? Im thinking its down to low and needs to come up a few points.. whats is the PH of your feed?
Leeyum
Leeyumcommented8 years ago
@the_Elvis, Ive been feeding consistently at a pH ranging from 6.2 to 6.5 and the flush was coming in around 6.5 so according to the chart I don't think her ability to absorb cal-mag would be too impeded. I'm thinking she might just be a more demanding plant with those nutrients since the blackberry has had no issues, but i plan to feed her some cal-mag at 6.5 or a little above tomorrow.

Looks like she recovered very nicely bro. That's good stuff, that Blackberry is looking amazing, I've seen a few people running it on here and it looks so good. This is a must try for me. Good luck with the finish man. Keep up the excellent work. Grow on brotha πŸŒ±πŸπŸ’¨

As many great growers here said, flush. Best thing you can do is wash out the issue and let t dry out. Then start light...amazi work so far for a first grow!! β€οΈπŸ‘ŠπŸ‘πŸ‘Œ the end is near!!

What are some opinions on dark periods for autos prior to harvest? I haven't done my research on it yet but was hoping someone could clue me in on the science behind these "dark periods."
Tenacious_Trichomes
Tenacious_Trichomescommented8 years ago
@Leeyum, personally, I don't do it. Some say it stresses the plant into more trichomes being produced...but I'm not riding that train πŸ˜‚πŸ˜ŽπŸš‚

Looks like a call mag issue you me. There's a few different remedies for it. Of course you can buy cal-mag at to mixture when you water or feed, an easy home remedie is Epson salt. 1 tsp per gallon of water. Hope this helps man. Grow on my friend. πŸŒ±πŸπŸ’¨
