Blackberry Auto

Day 1 Well here we go again on tent grow #4 which is starting today January 5th 2020. Wanna thank Fast Buds who were kind enough to offer me the free beans. They are freebies I had no room in my tent to grow from my last grow. I didn’t do well with my autos but I got myself a light meter which should help a ton this time. Like past grows, expect little updates during the first week until the seeds decide to pop their little heads out of the soil. Expect daily updates from there on out 😋 Day 5 it has finally popped out of their shell, along with the other 7 in my tent. NICE!!! Day 7 and I’m going to very slowly add some Mega Crop into their watering. It’s barely there but it’s there

Day 9 just another simple light watering with the tiniest bit of Mega Crop added for everyone. Yep, that’s about it. Bye Day 11 pretty much the same as day 9 with it being a simple watering with MC. They seem to be stretching a bit more then I want and have increased my lighting intensity to compensate for that. Day 13 again watering day with some MC. I also added more soil for all my pots as they stretched a bit more than I was hoping for at this early stage. So more soil, reinforced the stems and allow me easier training in the coming weeks when I start my topping and quadlining my gals

Day 16 well watering day with MC once again. I hate starting my grows in these winter months in my basement tent setup. My grow seems the lag behind progress wise to past grows I’ve done around this stage of growth. So I’m now debating on whether I should grab a mini ceramic heater to keep the tent temps at a more even keel. I’ll update if I decide to do so Day 20 ok so another watering/MC too. I have decided to increase my light output on my lights and thanks to that, my temps are up in the 72-76f range. Just what I think they needed because since I did this 2 nights ago, they seem to be responding/growing noticeably more

Day 24 just a simple watering today without my MC added. I think I was giving too much with my past feeding and so I held back today. Finally looks like I’m getting the growth I should of been seeing from them last week, but better late than never. Day 27 again holding back on my MC for today’s watering. Tomorrow I think will be topping day for the photoperiod plants, which I will hopefully successfully clone for a buddy of mine at work. Wish me luck🤞🏼

Day 30 and back to watering with MC again, but at a much reduced amount. Training is going ok, but I have already snapped a few limbs😫Hopefully I will have no more of that in the coming weeks Day 34 another watering day with MC at it’s reduced amount. Since I’m updating this on day 35 I can say this all seem to respond well, but for my White Widow. Maybe I will just water her with just water for a bit.

Day 37 well watering day with MC again at a lower dosage. My autos have also transitioned into flowering as well, with my Blackberry showing colour changes already. I have kept my tent vent off this entire time which has been working great in getting my temps/humidity staying nice and steady. Growth seems pretty steady with most of the photoperiod plants and will hopefully see enough growth to start their flowering in 3 weeks hopefully Day 40 sorry on the late update again. Today I did a nice watering for everyone with MC and increased to the recommended amount, with them being more mature now. Also happy to say that all 6 of my toppings have successfully rooted/cloned and will be handed off to a friend very soon. Day 41 gave them another watering. Looks like I need to up their watering amount as they are maturing

Day 43 just a light watering today with Mega Crop. I have also kept my exhaust fan off the past few weeks and really helped everyone grow and my clones to take to soil. Put it on the lowest setting just because of the autos flowering and didn’t want mold or anything to rear its ugly head Day 45 watering with MC and up to the proper strength as everyone is pretty mature now and can handle the proper strength now. Plus as you can see, my photoperiod girls are already bouncing back nicely. Going to let them stretch upwards and make the switch to flowering soon Day 47 watering with MC again. Not pictured as it was done after everything was taken, but levelled out Orange Sherbert and CPK to an even canopy top. Plus I lopped some of the bottom weaker Bud sites and limbs on my COP plant

Day 50 watering day with MC again. Hoping that come 2 weeks from now I will have enough vertical stretch that I will be able to start them all into Flowering mode. Hopefully that means all will be done by 1st week of May the latest so I can get that next grow going and setup some clones fast enough for my outdoor summer grow Day 52 already another watering with MC. They seem to be getting thirstier and thirstier this pas5 week. Hopefully 11 more days of veg and finally get it into flowering mode Day 54 another watering day with MC. Man are they getting wide and bushy, but I hope a little upwards stretch happens soon Day 56 another watering with MC. Looks like everyone photoperiod wise grew at least an inch overnight and here’s hoping they grow a few more over their final week of vegging next week.

Day 58 and again watering day with Mega Crop. Also bought their line of Cal/Mag and have started adding that to the waterings as of today. Seeing that my photoperiod plants canopy is so thick looking. I don’t think my 600w Quantum Board is going to be enough to cover everyone properly. So I went ahead and bought a Mars Hydro SP 250 supplemental light to add to the tent and it seems to be a perfect fit. So here’s hoping I was right in needing the extra light in my tent and I guess that my end results will be the proof I need in the end. Day 60 watering day with nutrients. Gals in the middle of the tent seem to of stretched a bit from yesterday. Should be interesting to see what the start doing when into flowering mode Day 62 and a little late on yesterday’s update. So yesterday I actually watered them again because they were already pretty dried out. So I also have been watering them with room temp water outta the tap, and will start watering with cooler water for now on. Water takes a bit longer to dry out and with the transition to flowering. It should hopefully help bring out whatever colour change in the strains. Day 63 well another watering with MC, and I have upped the amount per plant. Almost up to a full gallon per plant because they were bone dry when I checked them today. Plus, it’s the final day of vegging and tomorrow will be the start of flowering. I have switched my timer already to 12/12 and made sure my lights were still plugged into my timer (not going to fuck that up again. . . .hopefully) Hope my Blackberry Auto finishes soon because them photoperiod gals are going to need all the room they can with the change.

Day 66 watering with nutrients today. All my photoperiod gals were thirsty thirsty thirsty, but my 2 autos were still pretty heavy pot wise and only gave them a sip. My White Widow is looking a little squished at the front there, but should have more room in a few days when I give my Blackberry Auto the chop. Probably move my Critical Orange to the middle right side and finally setup my SCROG netting too Day 68 watering day with nutrients. I didn’t water my Blackberry auto as, again, I shall be chopping her down tomorrow when I get off work. Hopefully it will free up the needed space for some of the bushier girls to get some better lighting (WW &GLO)

I could of probably harvested this in stages but my tent is kind of loaded (see week 10 tent photos) and for a good 3/4 of the plant. . . she was ready for the chop. Wish I could get more stretch outta her but 182g wet weight, I’m not going to complain too much about. Still need to work on my auto skills but it was a better outcome then my first attempt growing autos
