Berry Bomb Auto Grow

Berry Bomb Auto Week 4 Notes A lot has been happening with lockdowns going into place and trying to prepare for some of the shortages and difficulties my area’s already starting to face going into winter, so I didn’t have the energy to write up notes for any of my strains this week to be honest lol. Just a quick summary of the week – I gave Berry Bomb Auto two waterings; one with food and one with plain water. I’m kicking myself though, because while I’ve been doing a PH and ppm check on the water before watering, I completely missed checking the water after watering. PH was solid 6.3, but poor girl is at about 550ppm this week, which seems pretty low for being about to go into flower. In a few days when she gets thirsty I’ll adjust the ppm and start adjusting nutrients to bloom food for about 3 weeks, then flush during the 4th week before harvest. The LST has been working out pretty well, though I accidentally snapped off the tip of one of the stronger side colas during the process -_- Overall though, she’s coming in well. I think her shape’s a little funny because fo the way I was tucking the leaves during the first 3 weeks, but with the wires in place for LST she’s filling out pretty evenly. On another note, I’m a little surprised to note that as of the end of week 4 she’s still not showing me the little whispies that help signify the start of flower. This is driving me crazy lol, I know I wanted as much time as possible to get Berry Bomb Auto big and yielding nicely, but I gave up that dream last week and have swung in the opposite direction where I don’t care how much I get, I just want to get on with my first harvest ever already cause I’m freaking excited lol. I’ve been staring at this plant and desperate for a sign that I can finally see the flowering process – but nada. Zilch. Nothing. Bummer. She HAS to start in the next few days, right? Lol. I’m a bit surprised – it kind of seems like Berry Bomb Auto’s life was extended only when the grower was using a hydroponic system (meaning veg went 4 weeks instead of 3), while dirt almost always went with a 3 week veg time. The only thing I might be doing a little different than the average grower is using a 20/4 light schedule and potentially using the Mykos, though I’m sure plenty of others use different brands. Humidity has been kept around 60% - 65% the entire time, and temp was kept pretty constant too at about 72-75 degrees F (about 22 or 23 degrees C). I guess we’ll know next week lol.
