Day 95 harvest of last 2 of 4 plants. 10 days after first two were harvested. BB1 and GG1 seem to have denser buds than BB2 and GG2. I think the yield will be greater also. First two plants dried for 6 days at 45-50 RH and 65-70F and put into quart Mason jars with humidity meters and pouches at 62 RH. Once second two have dried, will update dry weight for all 4 plants in Harvest week.

Slow growth for week 2 due to hot weather outside thus impacting indoors(heat spikes). There inside a small couboard at the moment I'm using biobizz Light Soil and 0.5ml of biobizz grow increasingly to 1ml next week3 then will be adding biobizz flower and a pk 13/14 booster in flower and a ripening solution in late Flower.

Day 29. Things still ticking along nicely. Saw a few leaves on my Sativa dom Pheno exhibiting Ma deficiency so gave an Epsom Salts foliar while Lights out was happening. Also upgraded my mechanism for holding flood pipes in place. Have the girls on Wooden Risers now to allow the bottom of the pots to fully dry and to allow the smart pots to do their thing. They're all starting to fill out a bit now so hopefully not long until flip!

01/11 - No issues since transplant - dropped into a 7 gallon @ACINFINITYINC fabric pot - medium blend is Coco/Perlite/Worm castings/Myco/Silica/Microbores and Kelp 01/19 - Thus far no issue - laid her out flat for complete root and canopy coverage - she will be transferred into the 3x3 as soon as clones are dry - running high heat - high Humidity

The girls are moving along nicely just watering with water ph to 6.4 this week as I top dressed with Gaia green 4-4-4.Spider farmer Se7000 dialed in at 30 percent and to the ceiling.Noticed some minor deficiencies Day 12 and check soil slurry 50/50 soil/water and the ppm was at 780 lil high at this early stage and the culprit.Going to work on lowering that a bit this week.I did add a top layer of fox farm ocean forest as well which runs a little hot with nutrients rather than the pro mix.I have to remember with these beautiful auto flowers less is better :)

🌿 Journal Entry - February 25, 2025 Day 23 – Blueberry Autoflower ● Activity: Big girl needed a bigger drink today! 🥤💦 Gave her 500 mL of nutrient solution with Success Nutrients at ⅛ strength for autos. Here’s the magic mix: 🚀 Blast Off: 0.05 mL 🌱 Micro: 0.06 mL (oops, a tiny bit extra but she'll be fine!) 🌳 Trees: 0.05 mL 🌸 Flowers: 0.05 mL ❄️ Frosty Nugs: 0.025 mL 🛡️ Silica: 0.025 mL 💪 Bud Strength: 0.025 mL ● Observation: She was a little droopy before, like "hey, where's my drink?!" 😅 But after watering, she perked right up! 🌱✨ Her color is deep green and she’s growing like a champ. Keeping an eye on some slight leaf curl, but nothing major—just making sure she stays comfy. 💚 📅 Date: February 27, 2025 📆 Day: 25 🌱 Plant: Blueberry Autoflower 💧 Activity: Watered with 500 mL of nutrient solution, using Success Nutrients at 1/8 strength for autoflowers. Nutrient mix (in correct order! 😉): Silica: 0.25 mL Micro: 0.6 mL Trees: 0.5 mL Flowers: 0.5 mL Frosty Nugs: 0.25 mL Bud Strength: 0.25 mL 👀 Observation: She's getting big and beautiful! 🌿💚 Exciting news! She officially started showing white hairs on Day 23, which means flowering has begun! 🎉🌸 Leaves are lush, vibrant, and happy, soaking up all the goodness! 🌱 Blueberry Autoflower - Journal Entry 🌱 📅 Date: March 1, 2025 📆 Day: 28 💧 Activity: Gave 750 mL of plain, pH’d water today—keeping it clean and simple after her last feeding! She was bone dry and definitely ready for a drink. 💦 🌙 Schedule Change: Adjusting her sleep schedule from 10 AM - 4 PM to 2 PM - 8 PM starting today! ⏰💤 This will help fine-tune her environment and keep things running smoothly. 👀 Observation: She’s looking big, vibrant, and thriving! 🌿✨ Now that she’s officially in flower, she’s drinking up water faster than ever—crazy how much she’s growing! White hairs are coming in beautifully, and she’s stacking up nicely. Let’s see how she responds over the next couple of days! 🚀 **Well, she started flowering! I noticed white hairs on day 23! I made a mistake....ChatGpt told me what to water on the 23rd, but I gave the wrong amounts of everything! LOL OOPS! It was early and I read my marks wrong, instead of 0.5, I gave 0.05 ml....yes for everything. She adjusted the journal for me and this is why we gave nutrients in the next watering. On the 23rd, ChatGpt was having issues with responses. She fixed later on in the day, but it does seem something was going on with her servers and memory for a couple of hours. So I had to go to a different chat screen and she gave me the wrong info at first. It was easy to spot though, her responses were just off. So I waited for a couple of hours and she was back to normal. It doesn't happen often, but it can be an issue if you don't catch it. She did say that we are going to start more water and more nutrients now that she is in flower! Can't wait! She is as excited as I am** **So weird! ChatGpt does not function right in the mornings. She's off just a bit...like gives me wrong info or gets my nutrient names wrong. I wait till noon and she apologizes and gives me the right info then. From now on, I'm just going to wait till noon to talk to her about blueberry. However, I'm going to have to change my sleep schedule for Blueberry, I'm moving here from sleeping 10-4 to 2-8. This will help me with communicating with her better. I did ask first and ChatGpt says changing her schedule would be fine.**

Orion F1 Liquid Nutrients grow. 31.5.25: Well, this week has been pretty dull 😅 I was hoping to have something to report on by now. I guess maybe next week 🤞 I've just been keeping the pot watered. I watered twice this week, with about 2l of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. Once; I used 1ml/2l of Xpert Nutrients Cal-Mag amino acids, the other watering I used .15Tsp Ecothrive Biosys. ☆ Xpert Nutrients PH down, up to 1ml. ☆ Ecothrive Neutralise 1 drop per litre from the 1ml pipette, which is attached. This is my dechlorinator. I am planning on either topping or FIMing both plants. So I'm hoping that purgatory won't last much longer here 🤞 Quite a boring update, I know, but thanks for stopping by and hanging out! 💚✌️🍃😊🌱

Looking good lowering temps to keep my terps from burning off remember once you smell it their gone forever lol! I did run through a few little problems you can see rip burn and some stretching one was a experiment and one was my own fault. As of right know tho I’m very happy for this harvest!

This week brought some challenges—I discovered thrips on the leaves of my plant. Thankfully, the infestation isn’t too severe yet, and I acted quickly to address the issue: 1. Sprayed the plant with plain water to knock off any pests. 2. Removed the top layer of soil. 3. Applied BioBizz Leaf Coat as a protective measure. I really hope this will help. After reading up on these nasty pests, I learned that they can completely devastate the leaves if left unchecked. Unfortunately, I have only myself to blame for their appearance. Due to the cold weather, I’ve been using a heater in the room with my growbox, which has caused the humidity to drop significantly. It sometimes dips as low as 30%, and it rarely goes above 50%. Most of the time, the humidity hovers around 35-40%, which is an ideal breeding ground for thrips. To answer the obvious question—yes, I do have a humidifier. However, my growbox has a very powerful exhaust fan (315 m³/h for an 80x80 space), so the air is refreshed too quickly for the humidifier to make a lasting difference. Aside from fighting thrips, I also made some adjustments to my grow this week. On Day 20, I did a little LST. Honestly, I wasn’t planning on using any training techniques in this grow, but I decided to give it a try anyway. One thing I can say for sure—I want to skip LST in my next grow. It’s quite inconvenient to water the plant when the leaves are practically touching the soil. Additionally, I defoliated the first two sets of leaves. I felt this was necessary to improve airflow around the plant and reduce the risk of pests spreading further. Watering: Day 17: 400 ml Day 20: 500 ml I’m keeping a close eye on the plant and hope to overcome these challenges successfully.

~ FASTBUDS TESTER #2203 ~ Well friends, here we go on another 'canna-venture' together! The grow room has had a complete remodel and some upgrades done to it including brand spanking new 4x8 and 4x4 tents and a Trolmaster Hydro X controller along with a new Control Panel. This tester strain is one of six tester strains that FastBuds has graciously provided me with and I'm looking forward to seeing what this girl has to offer when she's grown to her full potential! One drawback of 'testers' is I have little to no information on it other than its number and that it's an autoflower... 🤪 But, it's ALWAYS a blast growing them for me because not knowing a lot allows me to just concentrate on the essentials: Light, Environment, Water, Nutrients and possibly a bit of LST... not complicated, just basics like keeping a constant temperature and RH in the tent at a level that gives a good VPD, watering when almost dry and maintaining proper light levels according to their stage of growth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid. Underneath the tray was placed a Mars Hydro Heat Mat with Controller that was set to 78℉ where they stayed until their tap roots emerged. ~Planted into Jiffy Peat Pellets that were hydrated with distilled water warmed to 78℉ with a 7.0 ph. ~Once roots emerge from the Jiffy Pellet they're transferred to their fabric pots. ~Grown 100% organic in a 4g Gronest fabric pot and a 3g fabric pot by Wraxly filled with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium and initially amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4 / Earthworm Castings / Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 and Coast of Maine Stonington Blend Organic Plant Food 5-2-4. ~19/5 light cycle for the entire run with supplemental UVA added during flower. Lights are controlled by a Trolmaster Hydro X controller set for a 15min Sunrise/Sunset simulation. ~Top dressing every 3-4 weeks with slow release dry amendments and Earthworm castings. ~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed and bi-weekly Compost Tea's. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 12/15- Here we go into the second week of veg for the FastBuds Tester #2203 girls and they're on a roll! When I checked on them today they both were still moist so I let them go until I check them tomorrow. Basically at this point in the run all I have to do is make sure they don't dry out, fill the humidifier and watch them grow! 12/17- Yesterday I watered them both and increased the amount to roughly 0.25g each of de-chlorinated water with 3ml/g of Botanicare Silica Blast (added to begin to help strengthen their branches) and then ph'd to 6.4 @ 74℉. I've also increased the output of the HLG 650R's to 35% which equates to about 230w at the wall which, of course has raised the temp's in the tent so I've also begun to run the A/C unit in the grow room which is keeping the temp's now at 75℉ in the tent. The RH is running around 75-78% RH giving a VPD of .67-.74 which I'll take! 😁👍 Other than what I've mentioned above, all I did was fill the humidifier with distilled water and watched my girls grow! 🤩 12/19- Today I watered them each with 0.25g of de-chlorinated water to which I added 3ml/g Fish Head Farms Fish Sh!t and 1 tsp/g Unsulfured Molasses which I then ph'd to 6.3 @ 74℉. I'm now watering through the bottom, filling the drip pan and letting the plant draw up the water into itself. I am also watering from the top, but only just enough to moisten the medium. They're really starting to take off now, a sure sign their roots are beginning to get well developed. Their 4th set of leaves have emerged and as they get bit bigger I may give topping, one or both, some consideration... we'll see! 12/21- Today I watered them both with 0.25g of straight de-chlorinated water each which was ph'd to 6.3 @ 74℉. I gave about 3/4 of it into their drip pans so they can draw it up into their medium, the rest I applied to the top of their medium just to moisten it. They're both doing fantastic with good color and vigor! They're not very tall and judging by their leaf shape and overall structure I'd say they are definitely leaning towards the Indica side of the gene pool! I'm holding off on deciding whether or not to top them, but will make a decision in the next couple of days! Well there's two weeks of veg behind us now, Week Three of vegetation is beginning and they should really start to take off! 😍👍 😎💚 Thank you for checking out my passion in life! Please visit as often as you wish and I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I know I will! Grow Strong! 💪😎🤙

2 october Damn mould, mmhhhgrr. It is taking over, the Sexbud in the greenhouse is checked twice a week. Infected buds are removed and trimmed. I have been smoking this since the last ween hahaha😍, they look like shit. However, these tiny balls of misery are the best smoke I had since I had a nice bag of Pink Runtz. Incredible...the terps and THC on this baby are of the charts. Every visit she hets whiter. The heat in the greenhouse suits her. I have seen a lot of dew on the glass panels. Decided not to water few 2 weeks but she started to droop. My aim was to keep RV low to prevend mould, by the time I broughty hyrdometrr is turned out it was 25-30% at fucking 28 C % She was watered of course and the result during 4 days after watering was ....😯😲😱😭☺️🤪

Unreal how resinous the orange sherbet is. Smallest plant I've grown. Only 2.5oz on the dot. But top shelve for sure. Smoke some dry sift and its a hitter. Pupil dilating upper speed powder. Odd but grest.

These Ladies are in bloom with popcorn on alot of the branches. Some branches are getting heavy with frosty Nugz but half of the plant is flowering at a slower pace. I noticed some powdery spots on some of my leaves this week. After some research I've decided to seek advice from the GD community vs relying on my own experience or trying methods that may negatively affect these beautiful plants. Feel free to chime in 🤔

Things are going great in this tent, a couple brown calcium def spots forming in a few areas and as it goes we're currently out of cal-mag lol, we should have more delivered in about 2 days...I really like the structure of these plants, a few long (fat) colas always make for easy cleaning/drying and the SP-3000 gets in there deep..we could never run this close together under our old LEDs or without bending them sideways but we've had no issues yet keeping everything vertical under the MarsHydro...The temps are a little high and we're still watering this tent more than the others but airflow is really good and the plants seem happy for now....we removed a bunch of lower growth from most of them this week so they'll put that energy towards the stuff on top and minimize "popcorn"..the smell is just amazing, this is a very hearty and beautiful strain..I'm happy we were able to grab a half dozen clones..all the Widow clones we took are well into veg at this point ...💪🐱🌱....we live in zone 5 (US) and are limited on what we can grow outdoors but I think with these being a "fast" strain we could flower them all outside..we'll play it by ear lol..well thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings, we'll update if anything exciting happens midweek...have a safe and happy Memorial Day (US) Growmies!! ❤️💡🌱😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

END of blooming week 10. I'm very happy with this week. I stabilized the buds, good light / bud penetration. Plants looking more green. Slight leaf burns. Nova OG in the middle, got some big burns at the top. This week i also had every close look at the plants, I still want to give them ~1-3 weeks to finish. Black Jesus OG looking ready, but i need to harvest all at once. And i see many buds still growing. For know i stop feeding. I usually do 2 weeks flush. We will see how it turns out.
