Hola y gracias por pasarte a ver mi diario. Conocí esta variedad hace 20 años. En 2001, en mi pueblo, mi padre y sus amigos cultivaban una marihuana a la que llamaban "Madre", hacían crecer plantas de hasta 4 metros de alto y otros tantos de ancho, verdaderos monstruos del cultivo de guerrilla en las montañas del levante español. Cuando, con 18 años la probé, supe que era algo realmente especial, era una época en la que los viajes a Ámsterdam eran habituales y de vez en cuando algún amigo traía alguna muestra de lo mejor que encontraba; pues bien, siempre decíamos que si esta "Madre" estuviese en los coffee shops Holandeses podría competir y desbancar a muchos mitos de aquella época. Cuando le pedí a José, uno de los amigos de mi padre que mantenía la especie, que me explicase más sobre esta variedad me decía que sólo me la podía pasar en esqueje, ya que no habían estabilizado la cepa y las semillas tenían fenotipos muy variopintos. Estuve 2 años pudiendo cultivar dicho esqueje (hoy en día conocido como el Clon Mario), con muy buenos resultados, pero con 18 años mis habilidades como cultivador eran escasas, mi conocimiento sobre esquejado y mantenimiento de madres era nulo y acabé perdiendo aquel clon, posteriormente y por redadas policiales en aquellas montañas todo aquel que mantenía durante años esta genética acabo perdiéndola, conservando semillas que nunca llegaron al nivel de la cepa original. Hasta que Mario Bellandi, creador de la variedad, y su banco de semillas Delicatessen Seeds consiguieron estabilizarla mediante semillas regulares y feminizadas. En 2014 compré un paquete de semillas feminizadas y el resultado fue más que bueno, recordando sin duda a aquella joya ancestral pero sin llegar al nivel del Clon original. Esta vez cultivé la Reina Madre partiendo de 3 semillas regulares y el resultado creo que ha sido aún más próximo al original, lo cual es todo un éxito para mí. Una de las 3 semillas murió antes de llegar a la madurez y las otras dos resultaron ser dos hembras, muy parecidas entre sí. Una la puse en maceta de 50L y la otra en maceta de 20L. Las plantas crecieron sin ningún problema excepto alguna carencia que presentó antes de tiempo, especialmente de nitrógeno. Al ser un cultivo 100% orgánico y únicamente con riegos de agua del grifo sin añadir abonos líquidos era esperable, aunque el resultado final me deja muy satisfecho. Además, el hecho de añadir todos los nutrientes al sustrato me ha permitido facilitar la tarea del riego y no tener que realizar el lavado de raíces. La planta que se desarrolló en una maceta de 20L ha producido 120g de cogollos secos, esponjosos, espigados y con una relación flores/hojas bastante buena. La planta que puse en maceta de 50L sufrió la podredumbre del tronco principal y tuve que cortarla antes de tiempo, desechando buena parte de la producción, aun así he obtenido de ella 80g de rica yerba old school. El olor de las flores húmedas era bastante intenso y con matices cítricos y especiados. Respecto a plagas y enfermedades ha sido muy resistente, no he apreciado signos de araña roja, pulgón ni trips gracias al aporte de harina de Neem en el sustrato. Tampoco he sufrido el temido y habitual ataque de las orugas (ni la oruga de las hojas ni la del cogollo) gracias a las pulverizaciones en las fechas clave con Bacillus Thuringiensis. Tampoco se ha visto afectada por el Oídio que normalmente aparece al final de la floración en la zona donde vivo, ni tampoco de botrytis , por lo que la pastilla de Micorrizas y Trichodermas ha funcionado a la perfección, no sólo reforzando el sistema radicular sino también frente a los hongos invasores. El clima también me ha acompañado este año, vivo en una zona cálida donde la temperatura suele ser óptima para el cultivo de exterior de cannabis, el mes de mayo llovió algún día de forma agradable, junio, julio y agosto fueron especialmente secos, solo llovió un par de noches a finales de agosto, y septiembre también ha sido muy respetuoso lloviendo solo 2 veces. Por todo esto, siendo la primera vez que elaboro un supersoil, estoy seguro que para la temporada 2022 repetiré el sistema, haciendo algunos ajustes a la mezcla para evitar estas carencias que he comentado. Quiero agradecer a Growdiaries.com la herramienta que nos brinda a los cultivadores (en mi caso cultivador clandestino) para poder realizar el seguimiento de nuestros cultivos y como, en mi caso particular, ha hecho que mi motivación y trabajo hayan sido una constante semana tras semana, por lo que ha influido directamente en el buen resultado final de la cosecha. También agradecer a todo el que pasó por aquí durante el seguimiento ya que me dieron el apoyo necesario para mejorar en mi cultivo. Un saludo. Ferinky

3x3 AC Infinity under FC-E3000 LED - applied scrOG netting and began horizontal training. Continued IPM and SP treatments. Reduced SP treatment to weekly from every other day. Spider mite infestation completely gone after using Organishield IPM program. Transferred Black Cherry Gas clone to the 3x3 tent. All four clones top dressed with BuildAFlower by BuildASoil in preparation of 12/12 switch to flower. 2x4 AC Infinity under SF-2000 LED - applied grandmaster topping to Black Cherry Gas in order to slow down vertical growth. Continued IPM and Soil Program (SP) watering treatments. Transplanted Blueberry Cupcake and French Macaron from 1 gallon to 3 gallon pots (final transplant). Later in week, I topped both BBCC and FM. I also topped the Black Cherry Gas and moved her to the 3x3 tent joining other three clones. Set SF-2000 lighting to 18". Plants in AC tents are doing extremely well during vegetative period. PPFDs consistently between 400-600.

exagerei na rega até o meio da semana, deixei 4 dias sem rega e recuperaram, umas pelo estresse começaram mostrar défice de fósforo, fiz uma cobertura com torta de mamona, farinha de ossos, esterco de aves, humus de minhoca e calcário. Qual foto colocariam de capa dessa semana?

2/4: Photo session day! Both of these girls do seem to be mostly sativa, as billed. The have a very pungent aroma..not quite normal. I removed most of the lower fan leaves. I had a total infestation of Cattus (felis) which I documented in my photos. Eradication seems impossible, so I'm opting to allow a degree of predation, but hoping trichome production will, at least, deter them soon.😁 2/5: I fed everybody today with about 3/4 gallon each and sprayed them down with Axiom harpin proteins for the last time this run. I made a DIY CO2 generator today using a 5 gallon cat litter bucket, a small aquarium pump, some air line tubing, and a bubble stone, plus 6 cups of sugar and 30 grams of wine yeast in 2 gallons of warm water. I put the tube where the CO2 is exhausted up against the back of the oscillating fan that aims down over the plants so they are being constantly forcefully bombarded with high levels of CO2(1300+ppm) from above. I set the ac infinity controller to allow the temps to climb up to 89f before the fan turns on. 2/6: These girls aren't stretching much, but continue to spend energy on their lower branches. I bought some Gro-Pro pot risers to elevate the pots so that they will dry out faster..seem pretty effective. 2/7: I foliar fed with big bloom and tiger bloom today. 2/8: I ordered a second 6" AC Infinity fan to connect to my controller, some ducting, and a diffuser which I'll mount to the wall, down near the floor. The fan unit will be in another closet, adjacent to the garden closet, and I'll run ducting up through that closet ceiling into the attic, with a filter on the end to keep bugs and particulates out. For the next 6 weeks or so, it will provide a supply of colder fresh air. I did the math, and it will now only take about 1 minute and 40 seconds to completely exchange the air in the closet. Depending on the outside air temp at the time, it should take anywhere between 8 and 20 minutes for the closet to heat back up to 80f and the fans to kick back on again. This Spring, on days when it's warmer than 72f outside, I'll disconnect the duct in the closet and stretch it into that bedroom, clipped to the window unit air conditioner output, cranked down as low as it will go. This Summer, I'm gonna just run a pair of the quantum boards and grow 4 or 5 autos in there, but this should help keep the temps cooler in summer as well, without dedicating an air conditioner to the grow op.🙏 2/9: I foliar fed them with grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom and checked moisture in their pots. They're due for a good watering tomorrow.

Harvest Report: The Swift Journey of Blackberry Auto Greetings, fellow cultivators! The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived – the harvest of my Blackberry Auto. This beauty has moved through her life cycle with astonishing speed and grace. Let's take a moment to reflect on her incredible journey from seed to harvest and celebrate the fruits of our labor. Seed to Sprout: It feels like just yesterday when I planted the tiny seed of Blackberry Auto. Nestled in a Root Riot cube, she sprouted with vigor, her first delicate leaves reaching for the light. The conditions were perfect, with temperatures at a steady 28°C and relative humidity at 95%, creating an ideal environment for her early growth. Transplanting and Early Growth: As she transitioned to a small pot filled with rich soil and Mycor Mix, Blackberry Auto continued to thrive. The Mycor Mix, with its blend of various mycorrhizae species, worked wonders in enlarging her root system and facilitating nutrient uptake. Her early growth was nothing short of spectacular, setting the stage for the robust plant she would become. Rapid Vegetative Phase: Blackberry Auto quickly outgrew her initial pot and was soon transplanted into her final home – a 16L AutoPot. This setup allowed her to drink as she pleased, supported by the precise hydration of the AutoPot Aquavalve. With a foundation of Aptus All-in-One Pellets and Mycor Mix Soil, she had everything she needed for explosive growth. Her leaves grew enormous and lush, and her branches spread wide with gentle low-stress training. Swift Flowering and Stunning Development: Entering the flowering phase, Blackberry Auto didn't slow down. Her buds formed quickly, each one a masterpiece of nature. The colors were a sight to behold – deep purples, vibrant magentas, and hints of dark blue. The aromatic symphony filled the grow room, a testament to her potent genetics and the meticulous care provided. Natural Brilliance and Final Weeks: Observing her rapid progress, I ceased all feedings to let Blackberry Auto showcase her natural brilliance. Her final weeks were marked by a dazzling display of colors and an incredible pace of bud development. Each day brought new marvels, as her buds swelled and her trichomes sparkled like a constellation. A Heartfelt Reflection: From the moment she sprouted to her final days of flowering, Blackberry Auto has been a true wonder. Her speed and beauty have exceeded all expectations, and it's hard to believe how quickly she reached this point. This journey has been a testament to the magic of cultivation and the resilience of a well-bred strain. Acknowledgments and Gratitude: As we celebrate this harvest, I extend my deepest gratitude to @fastbuds_official for creating such a remarkable strain. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your support has been invaluable in nurturing this beauty. A special thank you to Grow Diaries for providing a platform to share this journey, and to the community for your shared passion and camaraderie. 🌱💚 As we move forward, I eagerly anticipate the trim and smoke reports, where we'll dive into the sensory delights of Blackberry Auto. For now, let's revel in the joy of a successful harvest and the extraordinary journey that brought us here. Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life

Day 74 (28/05/18) - 2 of the Girl scout cookies are looking very close to being finished and seeing all cloudy trichomes with a couple amber. I look for 80/20% ratio of cloudy/milky to amber trichomes for harvest as this gives the best medicinal effects from my experiences. Flushing the GSC and will be waiting for her to use up the remainder of her nutrients in the leaves before I chop, hopefully get a nice fade. One of the Stardawg girls isn't so far behind but being more sativa dominant, I expected that. May upload one picture of her and how she is getting on. The smell coming from the GSC is so potent and sweet. Hoping the smoke quality lives up to the smell. Not long to go now.

8/12 - Dropped 3 seeds into RO water to germinate 8/13 - Placed seeds into moist paper towel and into plastic bag to germinate on heat mat. 8/15 - All three seeds sprouted. In the morning I prepared three 3-gallon pots with Roots Organics Original Soil and Nature's Living Soil Autoflower mix. I will be doing Super Soil method for this grow. I filled the bottom one third of the pot with regular soil, then added 1 lb of Nature's Living soil and mixed it in. Then filled the rest of the pot with the regular soil. I topped it with Mosquito Bits for added BTI for pest prevention. Finally, I wet the pots down with RO water and Organic Black Strap Molasses. After about 8 hours, I planted the three seeds and placed them in the 4x5 tent with a humidity dome to keep in moisture. 8/16 - Two of the three already have their true leaves. So, I have removed the humidity domes from those two. 8/17 - The last of the GSCs have sprouted her true leaves so I have removed her dome. I sprayed them lightly again today with RO water and molasses.

Two of the LSD25’s are starting to show their colors, one is quite small but her flowers are densely packed. We will see if she starts to develop the purps soon! They have grown quite a bit since, I had to tie down the top cola on one of the girls because she was getting so tall and lanky. I have minimal room to grow in so I have to manage the height properly since LSD25 can be anywhere from 15-35in tall from what I’ve seen. I still haven’t fed them anything other than, volcanic spring water with Fish Sh!t and Bud Candy. I’m balancing the water out with TnB naturals since the volcanic spring water tends to be either base or slightly alkaline. The reason I use volcanic spring water here and there is to add, calcium, magnesium, potassium, silica and tons of other dissolved fulvic trace minerals from volcanic springs. I usually switch between Fiji and Waiakea spring water. It sounds a bit fancy but I alternate between this and distilled/reverse osmosis. I only use RO/D when mixing with nutrients or when I’m trying to flush nutrients from my mediums. I use volcanic spring water and local spring water from an artesian well when trying to feed a balanced water with minimal inputs.

Yoooo! Welcome back 🙌🏼 Just a quick update for week 7 of flower. Plants looking incredible. Zkittlez is really packing on the frost now and starting to develop some lovely colours. The Runtz seems to be continually packing on size and developing - most of the trichs are still clear but I’m seeing cloudy and a few amber ones here and there, so I’m looking to get the flush going in a few days time. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers 🤟🏻

Hallo to You all my familly and usual visitors. Thank you for stopping by and all the likes and comments....You make my day! I gave the Blue Cheese a trim on 5th december and gave her four days of darkness, the chop was performed on december 9th I took a lot of photographs and videos commemorating these events for you to enjoy :) I think she came out quite decent especially considering that she had some monster/deformed leaves till the 4th week of veg. also looking back I should have moved her to the bigger place in that time...she would be far more symmetrical ;) It was a joy to work with Mars Hydro and their equipment in this grow. A big thanks to the Mars Hydro team for this opportunity, you truly provide first class grow kits and lamps. That's all i have for you till the drying & curing process is over I will update then. I want to thank you all for accompanying me in this journey, all the likes and comments...You growmies make me feel here at GD at home thank you 🙌👊😇
