Light burn/nute surplus damaged a lot of my fan leaves but the actual buds are looking fairly nice. I just got a mini microscope to check trichomes and I’m flushing for these next couple weeks. Big shout out to everyone who helped on my grow questions! I learned a lot from them and I’m even more excited for my next grow now.

Week 11: Blueberry Auto - Harvest Day & Sweet Dreams Ahead! ☀️ Yo growmies! Harvest day is coming for our Blueberry Auto queen! Those folks at Royal Queen Seeds weren't lying - 11 weeks and this beauty is ready to meet the shears! The trichomes are looking milkylicious, like a frosty breakfast of champions, with nary an amber one in sight. So, it's going to be chop chop time in a few days! A quick shoutout to the German sunshine for working its magic these past few weeks. You rock! The Blueberry Auto's smell is getting sweeter by the second, like a blueberry bush that fell headfirst into a candy factory. Seriously, I can almost taste it already! Speaking of taste, the wait is almost over, guys! This harvest is about to get chopped, dried, and smoked faster than you can say "Blueberry Dream!" Let's give her a few more days in the sun, growmies, because next week, we'll be diving into the smoking experience and letting you know if this Blueberry Auto lives up to its sweet, sweet reputation. High fives all around!

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Das war es jetzt für sie wir sehen uns in 3 Wochen für den Erntebericht 🤙

Day 70-77 (Day 71) Not exactly sure why but node spacing on bbb 6&7 is super tight still. Their stems are also harder and less bendy, almost like they’re root bound. Bbb #5 in my veg tent is looking bizarre and I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ve been looking up and asking around about the leaf crinkle and no one seems to know what’s wrong. Trashing a pheno of this would hurt. It could be a keeper too as I don’t think the problem is genetic. It’s definitely root bound but that doesn’t cause contorted new growth like that. I’ve concluded that it’s my dense soil coupled with root bound issues, overwatering and high RH. (Day 72) Later tonight I’m going to give bbb 5 a bath tub flush until it’s reading 200ppms, drain it well and then transplant into a 3g pot with lightly amended soil. I’m also going to give it a light defoliation. I don’t mind stressing the shit out of this plant right now because I won’t be flipping for another week at least. With the small container it will run out of amended nutes mid flower so I will hit it with a few synthetic feedings around then to test out the smokabilty and taste compared to organic nutrients. I might as well give the rest a good defoliation on the rest of the plants too. I will try to get most of what is under the trellis. (Day 73) I definitely defoliated #7 waaay too much. Since it’s tucked away in the corner and a really bushy plant I can’t train it as well as the others. I cut most of the sucker branches and the majority of the lower fans. This should prevent the need to defoliate at all until week 3 of flower. (Day 74) I’ve been reading that higher temperatures with a high RH can affect growth big time. It could be what’s causing all the crinkling and twisting. And now that the plants are in very late veg they could probably benefit from a lower RH. When I was running my temps around 74-78F and 70% RH I was in the perfect range. Now that I’m around 82-86F with the same 70% RH that could be what’s causing it. Hotter air holds more moisture than cooler air and proper vpd at 84F is around 75-80%. I’m going to turn up the speed on my carbon filter and set my controller to 75%. If I don’t see a difference or it gets worse I will drop to 65 and go from there. (Day 76) I finally got the lights raised up another 4 inches or so. It’s not much but it should help reduce the intensity and stretch the nodes more. I’m starting to think the super tight node spacing and droopy/contorted growth has more to do with something I’ve been reading about called ‘soil compaction’. Apparently farmers often deal with compacted soil in fields from running tractors over it all day. When I potted the plants I gave them a good little jiggle to compact the soil down further so I could fit a bit more in the container. I think this could be the culprit as they don’t seem to be drying out evenly. Even the plants in my other room are not drying out like they should and it’s probably from compacting too. With the addition of rock dust and dry amendments the soil can become sandy/clay like and retain a lot more moisture. Wish I would have added a few more liters of perlite and packed the soil a bit looser. Either way I need to get this problem sorted ASAP before I get root rot. Earlier in the season when I overwatered, I stuck a fish tank air pump into the soil and it aerated the soil enough to prevent overwatering. The only reason I discontinued it is because it didn’t have much effect in the 1.7g pots. I just ordered a 36w 6 way fish tank pump that is way more powerful. It was 50 bucks and I’m willing to take a gamble on it. It seems to be my only option at the moment because I can’t just repot. Worst case scenario I can use it for brewing compost teas if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure how well this will work in a giant fabric pot but it’s worth a shot. I’ve heard of people supplementing additional air into raised garden beds with great results. I’m picking off some of the new auxiliary branches to try and widen the node spacing. Growth is definitely slow and stunted but no signs of deficiencies. I just thought of another theory on the node spacing... and the more I think about it, the more I think it’s the mystery problem. I’ve been foliar spraying with 1-1-1 VeloKelp at pretty high concentrations 2-3 times per week. I have heard in passing that kelp and seaweed can somehow reduce stretch. A quick google search reveals that Ascophyllum Nodosum Seaweed and other marine algae extracts contain large amounts of hormones and auxins that reduce plant height and stretch. *facepalm* Guess I’ll stop that for the rest of the cycle. As far as I know there is nothing I can really do but wait for the plant to use up all those excess hormones and nutes. The recent 0-0-15 seaweed extract and 1-0-3 kelp meal I bought is derived from the same kind as the velokelp. I guess I won’t use it again until week 3 or 4 in flower. Tight nodes are very useful in flower but aren’t desirable at all in when trying to scrog in veg. Especially when they’re like a half inch apart. It slows the shit out of a grow. Vietnamese and biker gangs in my area used to grow SOG style and use a synthetic PGR hormone (meant for bonsai trees) called ‘paclobutrazol’ that would make the weed rock hard dense so they wouldn’t have to pay people as much to trim it. I’ve heard that in recent years they have made the switch to using kelp extracts because paclo is getting harder find and is not meant for food crops let alone smokeable crops. I’m ashamed of it but I have smoked pounds of PGR weed long before I knew what a PGR was. 🤷‍♂️ (Day 77) One more theory. Ever since raising up the plants up onto that shelf the root zone is probably significantly warmer and the bottom of the pot (where most of the roots are) drys out way quicker. It’s possible that the warmer root zone could not be holding dissolved oxygen at the proper rate resulting in that over/underwatered look. Or it could be that I’m not watering enough at once to reach the bottom of the pot where the roots are and it’s indeed under watered. I’m going to water in a gallon when I get my new air pump and see if that makes any positive change. If I see the new air pump making a difference, I will flip on the 21st of April. If I don’t see a difference, I will carefully untangle the plants from the scrog net and remove the shelf. That extra foot should make a massive difference with ppfd and will cool down the roots significantly too. I’m thinking about grabbing a simple soil/compost thermometer to check the temp of the medium. Better safe than sorry. Rough week. Hopefully everything get smoothed out in the next little while before I flip.

Cruisin' for a bruisin' until harvest time! Flush next watering, and just water from then 'till harvest! Currently 2.5 gallons dosage of the above listed nutes, every 4-5 days!

Broke down and did some defoliation.

Flowering – First week with focus on compactness Papaya Sunrise, despite the smaller initial size, showed excellent expansion during the last two weeks of growth. Plant indicative of a compact genetics with strong indica dominance. Close internodes, wide leaves and presence of pre-flowers already after 72h from the switch. 📊 Growth setup: Humidity: 58% Average temp.: 26.5°C VPD: 1.0 EC: 1.35 mS/cm Irrigation: 2x/day, digital timer with constant pressure 💧 Nutrition: Full Advanced Nutrients administration in progressive dosage. The plant also received Extreme Garden Myco and humus on the surface, followed by irrigation only water. 🧠 Notes: The general behavior is stable. No signs of excess, living and well colonized substrate. Ideal plant for the development of dense flowers. Partial defoliation has ensured lateral ventilation, and in the next few days additional branches will be placed under the net. 🔧 Next steps: possible insertion of Eco Bio Booster + molasses from day 10, with observation of stretching and general vigor.

great strain, it has an awesome scent and taste, average yield but really great buds! it was a pleasure to grow it, i harvested a bit early but due to bad weather and high RH i had to harvest

good strain for symptom relief while staying mentally present. potent yet chill when treated well from seed to cure. hoping to try growing this strain outdoors in the future. this was a fun grow, thanks for looking. cheers

Cut some lower leaves and branches. No smell yet

Intentando mantenerla baja con lst para controlar la altura.. Quizá una poda apical...? Sería ya xq empiezo con la Floracion. EC 0.9 Ph 6.0

Great grow!! Should end up with over a half a pound off of these 2 and the little I harvested about 2 weeks ago. I got 2 oounces dry off of her. They smell amazing and are covered with trichomes

01.07. Blue Sunset Sherbet Day 63# Well, like this... the situation is much better, the plant has completely recovered, even if it was the least affected, but it was, for sure. She started extracting a little nitrogen from the lower leaves, but no big deal, the last two waterings only received clean water, so it's not surprising, although she was a little hungrier from the beginning because I thought that in the country where there is more food, however, it turned out that there is less, and again I can't exaggerate because of the accumulation of salt, and it wouldn't make sense to suddenly increase the dose of food or the number of feedings, I could only cause a problem. Just slowly and gradually. I will leave those leaves until the next watering, because then I will feed her, and then I will remove them, so that she does not extract nitrogen from the next leaves. One thing that caught my eye is that the plant is quite thin and tall, so it might be a male, I wouldn't want to guess, but it's not impossible even if the seed is feminized. I'm very suspicious of everything, but maybe I'm just tripping, maybe it's only up to the pot, it's not wide and it's not a big volume, although I've had much wider and thicker plants in slightly bigger pots than this one and at this time, the stems on this one are a little thicker than inside. Today is the end of the ninth week for the plant. Stay High and Keep Growing!!!

In 2 weeks going to flip to flower

Essa semana alimentei as plantas (45 dias após transplante). Utilizei fertilizante Forth Flor regulando seu PH para 6.8 utilizando bicarbonato de sódio. Flores continuam desenvolvendo muito rápido e novos pequenos buds continuam aparecendo por toda parte. A planta ainda continua crescendo verticalmente, o que é impressionante, mas ruim pois está muito perto dos LEDs.

It was a good week

Things are going pretty well. 🙂 I am just about to start flushing. Buds are swelling up and getting denser every day. Getting close to the finish line. 😎 I'll update throughout the week.

Week 6 Blooming beautifully. The colas are really taking shape, although still tiny but I’m happy with it so far. I added basil in the tent because I read it deters pests because of the pungent smell. Had a slight issue with the run off this week so I assume there’s a build up of salt in the soil ? I’m gonna have to read up about what to do next. What do you think by the images in video? Watered her with just alg-a-mic and ph’d down tap water to see if this helps. Apart from that she’s smelling lovely in early hours when the electrical a switch off. Sorry if my first diary has been a bit pony so far but I’ve had to play catch up. And I’m All up to date now.
