Blackberry Auto

All 5 FastBuds Blackberry germinated in soil and sprouted in 4 days! Excited to record the progress and final product. First feed on day 7. All 5 shared a 1gal mix. Ready to start recording week 2!

Day one of week 2 and everything is looking great! I have one girl that is already looking like shes gonna have some issues but I'm sure I'll snap her out of it in a couple days. I'm planning on feeding every other day with a flush after the 3rd feed. DAY 9 TIMER MALFUNCTIONED AND PLANTS WERE LEFT IN THE DARK FOR ABOUT 18HRS SO THEY AREN'T VERY HAPPY. SWITCHED TO 24 FOR THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AFTER A NICE FEED.

Start of week 3 and they are definately taking off! Day 18 I took off the single leaf undergrowth and cleaned up the stock. I'm splitting 3gal of feed every other day and will be bumping it up accordingly.

Start of week 4 and they are getting a 3gal feed between the 5 every other day. Just bumped the feed up to mid VEG. I've cut off all the single leaves and 3 leaves besides the one in the middle witch looks stunted but she's looking a lot better sinse last week.

Start of week 5 and first week of flower! A couple stretched a bit more than I wanted but I'm not upset. I'll be setting up trellis net tomorrow (day 31) Nutrient measurements aren't accurate I just don't have my chart in hand lol

Well this is my first run using Nectar For The Gods and I probably wont be using it again. Not a fan of calcium based nutrients. I have to flush the next few days since the calcium build up was so bad and the 2 of the plants arent looking very happy. End of week 6 update: Still dealing with the nute lock, probably wont feed again for a while. The 3 in front are still looking sad but 2 in back looking decent(ish) Still happy!

So I messed up by not having lifted drip trays so I'm still fighting off some nute lock. Everything settled at the bottom of the bags and the PPMs are still high. I flushed them super hard today and will again in another 2 days.. Hopefully we get rid of the claw before harvest.

Well after a ton of flushing I've finally got my PPMs to a normal level lol Picking up pot elevators for the next grow so i wont have this problem again. Hopfully in a couple days they will be back to normal but after being stunted I'll probably try and push them for another 2 weeks. It's my first auto grow so now i know what NOT to do next time lol Last day of week 8 and they are slowly uncurling and looking a bit healthier.

Not bad for the first go around but im definately ready to start over and correct the mistakes i made. They are looking better after the heavy flush but they've still got some time. I think I'm going to go with Purple Lemonade or Gorilla Glue for next grow. Any suggestions on another FastBuds strain??

Still got everything in jars curing. The next week or 2 the flavor should really pop. They smell really fruity and look great. Great bag appeal. I'll probably be switching to Advanced Nutrients or Fox Farm after the next grow.
