First Grow - Organic Blackberry Auto

Week 2 of flowering! The topping, training and defoliation over the past couple weeks has paid off big time. 👌 It set her up with a strong foundation to power through the rest of flowering. Her branches are thick and spread out evenly over the entire pot. She has more than 20 tops exposed at the canopy. Her young buds are developing a dark purple and beginning to stink up the tent like fresh berries. 🤩 ✅Day 29: No water. The pot is getting light again already. I did some minor leaf tucking. She is continuing to stretch. ✅Day 30: 160oz of water. Almost no runoff. She was very thirsty! Considering trimming the bottom fan leaves. ✅Day 31: No water. The pot is light again already. I was watering every 3rd day, now it’s more like every 2nd day. ✅Day 32: 160oz of water. No runoff. More leaf tucking. The purple is coming out nicely. She is sparkling with trichomes! ✅Day 33: No water. More leaf tucking. She is still stretching steadily and her smell is getting way stronger. ✅Day 34: No water. Starting to see yellow on some of the newer growth. 😢 She seemed ready for water today, but I’ll hold off in case she has been getting too much. Snipped off several lower fan leaves that weren’t getting light. ✅Day 35: 128oz of water. No runoff. She was bone dry, but no signs of stress, so I probably didn’t wait too long to water. That’s it for week 5! Her buds are developing nicely. The smell is getting noticeably stronger and smells like wonderful sour berries. Some newer growth started to yellow. I think I may have been slightly overwatering. I’ll go back to every 3rd day at 128oz. I was up to 160oz ever other day, which was probably too much. We’ll see! The stretch slowed down a bit in the last 24h, but that might have been because she was so dry as I was holding off to water.
