Hello happy Growers! This week was better than early, I've founded few very litle banana spend the week, I will continue to check this week, Harvest will be in 2 or 3 weeks, I hope can take situation under control untill harvest. If banana start to be too big, I'll remove the branch. If no, buds start to be compact, Nice sweet smeel and sticky, Probably my last fertilizer week, after I'll start flush Plant start to take less water, sign harvest for soon :) Have a good week my friends

What a champ! She didn't even blink an eye at the massive defoliation I did... she's eating and drinking and going to give me a pretty good harvest I think. Just amazing! Going to bump up the EC today to 1.2 and keep it there for the rest of her run... Honestly, I'm so impressed with this little lady, I can hardly believe her... and to think there were so many times I was going to throw in the towel and start over... I'm glad she wasn't able to read my thoughts! 10/27 - She continues to humble me... her persistence makes me ashamed of my earlier pessimism... each bud site is stacking - there will be few, if any small single buds (not talking "popcorn" but rather decent sized but still single buds)... She's plowing through the water and the nutes .... I've got the lights up as high as they can go unless I end up having to rest them on top of the top crossbars of the tent (which I may have to do!). I may try to eliminate or at least mitigate that problem with some creative LST efforts... she won't mind... she hasn't really minded anything I've done.. Also going to do a little bit more defoliation today... 10/28 - EC and pH are both nice and stable... she's gone through about 1/2 gallon since yesterday so will top up the reservoir. Didn't get the defoliation done yesterday.. heading in to do it NOW! :-D 10/31 - Haven't been terribly attentive to this part of the diary - but there's been little to say! She's doing really well, drinking a lot and handling a LOT of defoliation like a champ... And tomorrow, she turns 8 weeks old... I'm thinking she's going to run for another 5 weeks or so... Buds are rather slow growing at this moment in time but again, I'm not worried about her at all ...

Good weed will come back with full harvest weight when it’s all fully dry total weight 1650g and a plant that went to complete shit that had about 6oz on it added to the trim to be made into something what ever she decides so over all a good harvest if I had another two weeks and not a massive heat wave in middle of flower i reckon I would of touched two keys

*Week 6 of flowering 10/01* Critical +2.0 - Apple Fritter Both plants are nearing harvest and have maxed out at a height of 48 inches. Buds have developed heavy trichomes and are giving off a bright and vibrant smell. 85% of both plants have grown in their orange hairs and have a bright green and orange tint, Today will be the last nutrient feed, I will be using the "Lotus Carboflush" starting tomorrow (10/02) to remove the salt build up until harvest which will be next week (10/09) * 10/8 - Cut down* Both are heavy on top - Covered in trichomes - smells deep (Citrus) Dry trimming in two weeks - aiming for 14 day cure. *Day 2 Dry Hang Video uploaded 10/09* *10/15 - Harvest should be completed by the end of this week - 10/20*

Hello. This is the end of week 7 and the beginning of week 8 It's been a quite week. There is a few more yellow leaves than I think there should be for the end of week 7 in flowering. It's been 25* c to 33* c day time temp in the greenhouse this week no wonder there is a few more yellow leaves. I start flush next week for 2 weeks. This strains description said 10 weeks to finish but I think some of these plants could be cut down soon. I don't mind overripe cannabis so I'll finish the 10 weeks for all the plants. I made more Rick Simpson Oil this week. What a long process. It took most of the day. I got 140 g of oil from 1 lb. of cannabis. I tried to make a diary of it, but I know I could do better job. The camera I used ran out of juice and I grabbed another and forgot to turn on the sound. The wind got so strong at points it drowned out my voice. I'll put up what I made in a couple of weeks. after editing and subtitles : ) Till next week. Chuck.

|»» LOG DISCLAIMER: Not intended as a grow guide. Grow log entries are usually posted 3 weeks later and are for my learning reference. ««| Introduction - Week 16 Summary - Ensign's log, stardate 17547.8, Wow what a great week in the garden! By the end of the week, the main tent has pretty much doubled in size! Upgraded the scrog frame and now have a second layer of netting about 14in above the original netting which is already filling in and looking incredible! The tent’s floor slightly flooded, but fixed it. Also trying Stash Blend for the first time! As for the veg tent. To preserve the genetics, started the mother plant cycling process and took more clone cuttings (which were rooting in Coco Coins by the end of the week). To make more room, also bonsaied all mother plants. The stretch is starting to slowing down and next week begins the first week of bloom! Ca-Caw! Let’s go! Onwards Ensign! [START OF WEEK 16] ========================================================== ---------- [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] ---------- Heady OG BX1 #1 [Round4 ~Wk9] - WEEK 16 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk2] TKO [Round2 ~Wk14] - WEEK 16 - Pre-Bloom [Stretch Wk2] ----------- [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ------------ Garlic Budder OG#1 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg Garlic Budder OG#2 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #1 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg Gorilla Goat #2 - WEEK 09 - Full Veg 08/04/25 → 08/10/25 This Week's Estimated Goals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLI: ~13 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~300 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~1.0 kPa This Week's Meter Readings & Averages ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Light On/Off: 19:00 - 07:00 | Wattage: ~326.5W [LV04] Distance From Canopy: ~31”, 27” DLI: ~15.60 mol/m²/d PPFD: ~361 μmol/m²/s VPD: ~0.69 kPa Soil %: [40.7, 47.0, 38.1, 56.6, 41.9, 42.7, 42.9, 43.9] ========================================================== Day 01 - Monday - 08/04/25 - Total Days: 113 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.6°F [28.7°C] - Humidity: 83.6% - VPD: 0.66 kPa - Soil %: [49, 37, 45, 60, 44, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [+00:14]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Holy Cannoli! Wow! These girls are in full stretch! --- Both cultivars have grown beyond the netting and have stretched beyond the (green) Vivosun’s CFM bars! Heady is a bit low on the left, but the canopy is pretty even and perky! --- Ca-Caw! Let’s go cuddies! --- Heady OG (BX1 #1) is starting off shorter than TKO, but am pretty confident that she’ll catch up. --- TKO is looking incredibly healthy! She’s the larger plant, but also in the smaller 20-gallon pot. Well she is 5 weeks older than Heady OG so makes sense. Regardless of the growth difference, absolutely stoked for this grow cycle!! - [+12:19]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 46% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 37% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 48% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 62% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 44% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 40% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 50% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [+00:14]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The veg garden is looking incredible! --- All mamma plants are looking bushed out and beautiful! - [+00:37]: Super-cropped and bend the canopy down a bit. --- Lowered the canopy down a few inches. Really need to defoliate soon. The top growth is bushing out and getting really thick! --- Clones are also looking incredible and both are rotting along beautifully! Heady is going to make it and she is looking great! - [+00:38]: The cuttings are looking good for the most part. One is looking pretty droopy (damnit Ensign). --- Misted the cups with RO water. --- Think the RH may not be consistent enough and the cups might be drying out too quickly. - [+00:41]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Another day done! --- Okay! Since growth is raging upwards, decided to upgrade the scrog frame and plan to add a second layer tomorrow. --- Ahh yea! This grow is turning out to be an epic one! Day 02 - Tuesday - 08/05/25 - Total Days: 114 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.3°F [28.5°C] - Humidity: 83.3% - VPD: 0.67 kPa - Soil %: [49, 38, 47, 62, 41, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [16:25]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Ooo yea! The clones are looking incredible! --- The cuttings still seem to be struggling. --- Hmm. - [16:27]: Misted the cups with RO water. --- Made a slight modification and wrapped the top of both cups with plastic wrap. --- Cut a slit from the middle to the edge. Misted the cup through the slit with RO water (2-3 sprays each). --- Then gently slipped the cups over each cutting. --- Also slightly misted each Coco Coin with RO water. --- Great! This should hopefully make a better seal and will keep the RH higher. I think. --- Anyways! --- The mother garden is vegging along beautifully! --- Growth is getting really bushy and need to do a heavy defoliation soon. - [16:56]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 48% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 36% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 47% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 61% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 43% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 41% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 49% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [19:03]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ooo yea! Wow these girls are stretching! --- Growth has clearly grown since the last checkup and getting taller! --- Ca-Caw! Let’s go ladies! - [19:14]: Wait. Uh-Oh! --- The tent seemed to have flooded slightly.. DAMNIT ENSIGN! ------ [» A FEW HOURS LATER.. «] --- Okay! Think I figured out why the tent flooded and how to fix it. --- The main reason was the new soil sensor which was probably not in proper contact with the soil. --- Fixed this by re-seating the unit. Also adjusted the drip ring a bit. --- Also poured about a cup of water straight onto new sensor. This should make the surrounding soil wetter and will hopefully fix the dry pocket. I think. --- For added redundancy, added additional trigger conditions to both Ecowitt WittFlows (TKO and Heady OG). - [23:45]: Adjusted the watering triggers for the auto-watering system for TKO. --- Changed the ON trigger from: --------- When CH3 soil moisture is under 45% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH3 soil moisture is UNDER 45% --------------- AND When CH4 soil moisture is UNDER 50% --- Changed the OFF trigger from: --------- When CH3 soil moisture is OVER 50% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH3 soil moisture is OVER 50% --------------- OR When CH3 soil moisture is OVER 50% --- Applied similar watering triggers for Heady OG. --- Changed the ON trigger from: --------- When CH1 soil moisture is under 45% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH1 soil moisture is UNDER 45% --------------- AND When CH2 soil moisture is UNDER 50% --- Changed the OFF trigger from: --------- When CH1 soil moisture is OVER 50% ------------ Updated to: --------------- When CH1 soil moisture is OVER 50% --------------- OR When CH2 soil moisture is OVER 50% --- Will check back daily to make sure the flooding has completely stopped. --- Well that pushed everything back a bit. --- Okay! Anyways, - [23:57]: Time to both build and install the second frame and netting. Let’s go! --- Got four 1in PVC corner fittings (local Lowes) along with four 1in PVC pipes (10ft long each). Also got more self-tapping screws. --- For the netting, using mason string. Usually use the braided nylon, but the twisted variant is a lot cheaper. --- To build the frame, I cut the 1in PVC pipes down to two different lengths: ------ [» x2 @ 42.5in «] – Front / Back ------ [» x2 @ 44in «] – Left / Right --- This makes the frame slightly thinner from left to right. --- Saving the extra piping for future projects. - [+04:04]: Okay! The new frame is built and looking sturdy! --- Did not use any glue and simply dry fitted each component. --- For easier fitting, smoothed the ends of each pipe with sand paper. --- Also marked each pipe to indicate the front, back, left, and right sides. --- For the fittings, used corner fittings and have open slot facing downwards. This way I can add the legs. --- After the frame was built, marked and drilled screws about 3in apart (self-tapping). Made sure to mirror the screw spacing on the opposite side. --- Time to weave the netting! - [+04:06]: Using some mason string, --- Started at one corner and strung all the horizontal lines. --- Double-wrapped each screw. --- After the horizontal lines were strung, continued and wrapped the vertical lines. - [+04:44]: Now that the frame is built and the netting fully weaved, time to install the frame! --- First the support poles. Cut and sanded more 1in PVC piping. ------ [» x4 @ 14in «] – Vertical Support - [17:56]: Installed the back support poles before the front ones. --- Temporarily removed the front CFM bar and had to raise the fan up a bit (was not easy, but got it done). --- Once the support poles were installed, gently set the new frame on top. - [+06:07]: Done and wow she’s a beauty! --- Well that took a bit longer than anticipated (also the flooding did not help), but glad the frame fit perfectly and the netting looks great! - [+06:12]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. --- Ooo yea! What a day! Day 03 - Wednesday - 08/06/25 - Total Days: 115 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.9°F [28.8°C] - Humidity: 83.1% - VPD: 0.69 kPa - Soil %: [42, 54, 43, 60, 42, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [+00:17]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw!! Let’s go cuddies! Growth is looking beautiful and green! --- The second layer of scrog netting was not the easiest to install, but wow the garden is looking incredible! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are still stretching upwards with new nodes branching out everywhere! --- The canopy hasn’t reached the top net yet but hoping a few will make it. --- Regardless, absolutely hyped for this flower cycle! - [+00:23]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- Looking beautiful in the veg garden! --- Wow the mothers have bushed out and have reached the grow light! - [+00:32]: Super-cropped and lowered the canopy --- The canopy is getting really thick! Plan to do a pretty heavy defoliation tomorrow. --- Clones look great and stoked that both Heady OG and TKO seem to be rooting along in the cups. Need to check the weights. Let’s go! - [+00:37]: Here are the starting initial watering ranges: ------ Heady OG BX1 » 261.4g → 301.2g ------ TKO » 240.9g → 301.4g --------- General Solo Range: [Dry] «| [Initial Cup Weight] + ~55-100g |» [Wet] --- All cups were last watered 5 days ago. - [+00:37]: Took the starting weight of both clones before watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 weighed 250.4g ------ TKO weighed 240.9g --- Oops! Probably should have watered earlier, sorry ladies! --- Stoked that Heady OG is clearly going to make it! Also good to know the soil dryback can be at least 10g from the initial pre-saturated weight. --- Anyways! --- While on a scale, --- Gently misted the straw mulch of both cups with RO water. --- Focused on the straw and sprayed as evenly as possible. --- Misted 10-20 sprays. Waited a moment, then misted again. --- Made sure to reference the watering weights. --- Repeated this process for both cups. --- There was no runoff. - [+01:08]: Took the saturated weight of both clones after watering, ------ Heady OG BX1 » 335.5g ------ TKO » 345.1g --- Marked the final wet weight on the back of each cup. Also marked the watering date on the front. --- Placed both phenos back into the tent. --- Cuttings are looking better! --- Glad that the slight modification to the cups helped to keep the moisture in (covered both with plastic wrap). --- Gently removed both cups and re-misted each with RO water (~2 mists). --- Carefully placed the cups back onto the cuttings. - [+01:21]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 34% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 52% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 39% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 58% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 44% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 47% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 41% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 46% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [+01:23]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 04 - Thursday - 08/07/25 - Total Days: 116 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 84.9°F [29.4°C] - Humidity: 82.0% - VPD: 0.75 kPa - Soil %: [32, 51, 37, 57, 42, 43, 43, 45] ----------------------------------- - [09:42]: Quickly checked on the propagation dome (in the 3x3 veg tent). --- Nice! Clones are both looking great! --- Heady OG is clearly recovering and looking better! --- Wow! TKO is looking incredibly healthy! Top growth has perky leaves with a few nodal growth sites starting to stretch. As far as cloning, she has been healthiest with no issues the entire way! --- Both Heady OG cuttings are looking beautiful and should be rooting. Plan to check for roots in a few days. --- Plan to do a pretty heave defoliation today. --- Also going to start the mother plant cloning process. - [17:12]: Evening check on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Mother garden is looking beautiful and the canopy is bushy with growth! --- Both Heady OG and TKO clones also look green and healthy! --- My main focus for today is the veg garden and the preservation of the genetics . --- Lots of work to do and time to also start the mother cycling process! --- This time, going to do a pretty heavy defoliation! --- Going to pretty much bonsai each mother while taking a few clones to preserve the genetics. --- Let’s go Ensign! - [17:58]: Filled a measuring cup with 1.5 cups of RO water. ------ Added 1/8tsp of Horticultural Aloe --- Mixed the solution and poured it straight into a clear solo cup. --- Repeated this process until 4 cups were filled. - [18:05]: Also marked each cup with the corresponding mother plant name. --- Time to defoliate and take the clone cuttings! - [18:07]: Using a pair of trimmers (AC Infinity), --- Bonsaied each mother plant. Removed over 75% of overall growth leaving several branches and nodes. - [19:44]: Done and wow what a difference! --- Pretty much removed all growth leaving a few nodal growth sites to heal. --- This is my first time going this heavy and am hoping that they recover. --- If this bonsai defoliation heals up with healthy growth, this can also be an alternative to a full plant cycling. --- Anyways! - [19:46]: To preserve the genetics, made sure to cut clone cuttings from each mother plant. --- To ensure successful rooting, took several cuttings. --- Made sure to clean each cutting by trimming most of the branches off leaving the top one or two nodes. --- Did not cut any leaf fingers and made sure to cut the tip of the stalk (about 45°) before placing into the cup of aloe solution. - [19:55]: Placed the fresh cuttings into the 3x3 veg tent. --- Have each cup resting on top of the corresponding mother plant. --- Okay! Let the two-day soak begin! - [20:00]: Mulched the trimmings in a paper bag. --- Since the bottom of the paper bags tend to decompose, have the bag in a used BuildASoil soil bag which should not decompose (these are meant for soil). --- Also added a bit of Kashi Blend and worm castings to the bottom of the bag. --- Back to the Heady OG cuttings! --- Gently removed the cups and misted the inside of each with RO water (~2 mists each). - [20:02]: Carefully placed the new cups onto the cuttings. --- Great! Plan to check for roots soon. - [20:08]: Checked the Ecowitt soil moisture sensor data: ------------------ [ 4x4 MAIN TENT ] --------------- ------ 31% - [CH01 FT » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 51% - [CH02 FB » G30 - Heady OG BX1 #1] ------ 35% - [CH03 BT » G20 - TKO] ------ 56% - [CH04 BB » G20 - TKO] ------------------ [ 3x3 VEG TENT ] ---------------- ------ 41% - [CH05 BL » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#1] ------ 40% - [CH06 BR » GR7 - Garlic Budder OG#2] ------ 42% - [CH07 FL » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #1] ------ 44% - [CH08 FR » GR7 - Gorilla Goat #2] --------- Veg: 38% - 45% | Flower: 45% - 55% --------- General: 30% [Dry] «| 45 - 60% [Moist] |» 70% [Wet] - [20:12]: Checked the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! Ah yea! The garden is looking incredible and wow growth is raging! --- The tallest growth is just barely under the netting! --- Not much to do in the main tent now but to wait until the stretch slows down. --- Time to relax and let the grass grow! Let’s go! - [21:34]: Have an extra stainless steel rack and thought of a better way to hold the solo cups in the veg tent. --- The cups are balancing on the edge of the pots am concerned that they may tip over. --- Carefully too each cup out of the tent. - [21:36]: Placed the rack upside-down in the middle of the tent. --- Have the rack positioned on top of all 4 pots just above the center floor fan. - [21:39]: Gently placed each cutting cup onto the rack. --- The floor fan can easily still blow through the grid of the rack. Great! --- This should be way more stable while still allowing decent airflow. - [21:40]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 05 - Friday - 08/08/25 - Total Days: 117 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 84.5°F [29.2°C] - Humidity: 82.5% - VPD: 0.72 kPa - Soil %: [32, 50, 30, 53, 40, 42, 41, 42] ----------------------------------- - [23:02]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ahh yea! The garden is thriving! --- Both Heady OG and TKO are still stretching upwards and the canopy is getting dense! --- Wow! TKO has reached the top netting! Heady OG is just under the top netting. --- Ca-Caw! Let’s go ladies! - [23:11]: Checked the 3x3 veg tent. --- The veg garden is looking great! --- The bonsaied mother plants are still recovering from the heavy defoliation. But growth is looking a lot better than I would expect from such a large biomass reduction. Nice! --- Cuttings are looking great as well! - [23:13]: Time to swap the aloe water out! --- Replaced each solo cup with a clean one filled with fresh RO water (1.5cups). --- Plan to start using the propagation dome soon! --- Going to let these soak for another day before transplanting into Coco Coins for rooting. - [+02:05]: Quickly checked on the auto-watering system. --- System is still charged and no leaks or kinks found in the tubing. - [+02:08]: Checked the humidifiers. --- Tanks are still full and no leaks found. Day 06 - Saturday - 08/09/25 - Total Days: 118 ----------------------------------- Daily Averages ~[+01:00] - Temps: 83.4°F [28.6°C] - Humidity: 83.3% - VPD: 0.67 kPa - Soil %: [32, 50, 35, 52, 41, 40, 41, 41] ----------------------------------- - [07:55]: Quickly checked on the 3x3 veg tent. --- Looking great in the veg garden! --- Mothers are all recovering nicely from the bonsai defoliation. Great! --- Cuttings also look healthy and ready for transplanting! --- Both Heady OG and TKO clones are looking perky and getting bigger! --- Heady OG cuttings also looking green and rooting! I think. Will check for roots in a few days. - [20:58]: Night check on the 4x4 tent. --- Ca-Caw! This is why we grow!

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

Esta semana, ya recuperadas de la poda apical y Fim les hago la poda de bajos o lollilopping, entutado y Scrog. Es mi primer cultivo y se me han descontrolado las sativas en altura y en cantidad de plantas, pero voy a ver si me apaño y saco Al menos buenas copas... He regado 2 días con fertilizantes con 1.1 de ec y otro con solo agua y enzimas. Hoy comprobé el ec del sustrato midiendo el agua sobrante y algunas plantas me ponían 1.8 ec y otras 2.5 ec... Me aconsejáis que siga regando para que sobre agua por el macetero ? Estoy usando maceteros de 11 litros y estoy regando 500ml, excepto esta última vez que les he echado 1.5 litros y solo les salió del macetero unos 250ml. Soy todo oídos y muchas gracias

APRIL 18TH 2024 - The 3rd batch of clones was taken yesterday and mother plants stripped back aggressively now that focus will be going toward the beds and clones. The generation 2 mom's are going to be vegged up and ready to produce our second harvest's set of clones. We have taken 3 batches of clones kept them in half gallon bags in each of the beds so we can pick the absolute best of each to transplant into the beds & proceed into the grow with. Next update will be of each individual diary! We got @Seedsman Purple Ghost Candy in this cycle by splitting the Exotic Animal bed half Purple Ghost Candy ! On the Kitty cat front, Barns finally got the courage to approach us over a few days, Maybe a week. We where finally able to pick her up and bring her inside, She has been a happy new member of the family ever since, Making that another successful rescue animal adopted from outside.

Hello growmies! Welcome to week five of An Epsilon Adventure! Massive thanks to both Shogun and Royal Queen Seeds for sponsoring this grow! The girls are all at different early flowering stages, but they are only days apart from each other. I have a bit of a quandary now though, as I am no longer following the nutrient schedule as these plants are too fast for it. So I am unsure whether to start PK warrior or not yet. I have also realised I have probably underfed them in the last week or so, which to be honest isn't a big deal for me right now as they are already waaaaaaaaaaay bigger than expected. Let's talk about that a moment. This strain has an average height of 50-70cm. I wonder if those numbers were for soil grows? It seems for coco you will get even bigger plants. Case in point these six girls measured at 3pm 24/7 day 30 as follows: Plant 1: 111cm Plant 2: 99cm Plant 3: 90cm Plant 4: 89cm Plant 5: 85cm Plant 6: 84cm Plant 3 appears to have stopped stretching and is the most advanced into flower. Plant 4 is right behind it and has slowed down but not yet stopped stretching. Plant 2 is next in terms of flowering development her stretch is slowing. Plant 5 is still stretching rapidly and is coming to the end of preflower. No concern really at 85cm she has some room yet. Plant 6 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Slightly concerned despite her 84cm stature as she has been the most beefy looking plant all along, so I am expecting her to grow a good bit more. Plant 1 is still stretching rapidly and is still in preflower. Extremely very concerned about this one. The light is about as high as it can go. 111cm!! I have scoured the internet and the tallest Epsilon F1 I have found was 95cm. It's great that she is so happy this plant, but if she gets much taller I'm going to have to super crop her main cola. Whatever happens I am starting to dream of smashing my yield target out of the park, these girls are all impressive. Hard to believe they are just 30 days old. Daily Updates: ### Week 5 Day 2 15:00 24/7 Photographed. ### Week 5 Day 2 23:30 24/7 fertigated 1.6l and updated nutrient schedule for the week ### Week 5 Day 3 20:00 25/7 took a short video ### Week 5 Day 4 05:00 26/7 photographed ### Week 5 Day 4 18:00 26/7 Measured (brace yourself). Plant 1: 126cm Plant 2: 107cm Plant 3: 93cm Plant 4: 94cm Plant 5: 97cm Plant 6: 96cm Plants 3 and 4 have stopped stretching now and are fully into flower. At 93cm and 94cm respectively, by the end of flower these girls may hit 1m but they wont go much more than that. Plant 2 looks to have just about stopped as well. It might go another 10cm overall. Plant 5 is still stretching but I think not much more. Plant 6 is still stretching and I am still expecting quite a bit of growth from her. Then there is plant 1. 126cm and still stretching. It has now grown beyond the height of the light. I hope it can somehow finish itself before it hits the top of the tent. I mean the secondary colas are over 1m already. It is a great shame this giant plant doesn't have more horizontal space to itself, either way it is absolutely shocking to see. I really do not want to super crop her, but am out of options. This grow, incidentally, constitutes the first and last time that I let any indoor cannabis plant go untrained. With basically 4 x 4 x 4 of usable space, training my plants is not really optional - and now you can all see why. This "50-70cm" strain has rapidly outgrown my space. RQS it may be time to revisit the height claims on this strain. Just saying. ### Week 5 Day 6 01:00 28/7 Rearranged the tent and photographed. I have been regularly rotating the plants and periodically moving them around. My problem is now plant one has already hit the top of the tent and there is no easy way to give it anymore space... still not sure what I am supposed to do but it's fine for now... tried to capture the problem with the photos. As well as plant 1, plant 6 looks like it's going to keep going for a good bit yet, and plant 2 is still putting a bit of height on. I took plenty of photos today to try and capture the essence of the jungle. It is quite unbelievable what these plants have done. I just cannot stop looking at them, they are magnificent. I have not fed for 4 days, will probably feed later I am just trying to slow them down a bit by not feeding them. It doesn't seem to be working. ### Week 5 Day 6 23:00 28/7 Defoliated heavily all plants. Fertigated 2l each. Removed some more lower side growth off the smallest plant (plant 3) to make space. Might leave it a few days before I photograph again. Plants 2, 3, and 4 are all well into flowering now, plant 5 is not far behind them, but plants 1 and 6 are still in preflower. :( What is really remarkable right now is the difference in colour between the plants further into flower vs the plants still in preflower. The plants in flowering have much darker leaves. --- Thanks for reading growmies! 👊 ========== Tent: 120cm x 120cm x 180cm Light: 600w HID Elite Dual Spectrum HPS + Angel Wing Reflector Air: 5" duct fan system with carbon filter ~300 m3/hour + RAM 9" floor fan + 4" intake fan Pots: Air Pruner Fabric Pots 30l - UGro XL Coco + horticultural grade perlite (~20%) Seeds supplied by Royal Queen Seeds https://www.royalqueenseeds.com Nutrients supplied by Shogun Fertilisers https://www.shogunfertilisers.com/en ==========

What up fam. Weekly update on these girls. During thus past week I found some dreadful catapillers in some of my flowers. It's never something you want to find but it's definitely part of the challenge growing outdoors. I started to harvest some for some fresh frozen so once I get them all done in the next couple weeks I'll know what my total is going to be. All in all Happy Growing.

This week we are seeing the girls starting to flower, mixed in a gaia green topdress and chopped it up into the sand, then adding another layer. The sand really does a number on the fungas gnats. Going to do some lollipopping and lots of defolation. Trying to pick and chose which colas to bring to the end. I cant wait to see what this looks like when its filled with bud. After I train tonight its going to be hands off completely besides watering.

D13 - BOOM! The new #1 had made her modest appearance. Only the top of the seed is visible so far, but it's a start. :) #2 is moving along nicely, quietly doing her thing. D14 - #1 is still shy and hasn't fully emerged yet, but she is at least poking up more than yesterday, so there's progress at least. #2 is doing great, and I like her structure. Short and stout with large leaves and very short internodal spacing. She is 7 cm tall but already 11 cm wide. I also cut back the cover crop as it was getting a bit wild and partly overshadowed the girls. Since starting the grow, I have yet to water the girls properly, but they did get a little bit a couple of days ago when I had some extra after watering nematodes (against fungus gnats) to our regular houseplants. Better to be proactive than reactive ;) D15 - I started a simple compost tea consisting of worm casting, rock dust, algal limestone, bentonite, biochar, and molasses. I'll leave it brewing overnight, and then it's watering/feeding time tomorrow. D17 - No idea what is going on with the first girl, but it sure isn't much. The seed has maybe emerged for another two millimeters from the soil, but that is it. The seed hasn't cracked, and no leaves are visible. Hell, I can hardly see the stem. Yesterday, I gave each girl about one liter of the compost tea that I started a couple of days ago. Let's see if that helps, although, at this point, I kind of doubt it. As always, I completely forgot to check the pH of the tea. I have no idea why I keep forgetting that with my teas when I have no problem checking the pH when I use plain water. Oh well. Not the end of the world but something I need to keep in mind for the next tea in a couple of weeks. The second girl looks great, though, so that's something at least. D20 - Alright, it is official. The third girl died as well. The seed never cracked, and the stem went limp. I have no idea why this happened, and now I'm out of Colorado Cookies seeds, so that's that. I have already planted another seed to see if the problem persists with another strain. I will make a separate diary for that one, though. On the positive side is that the remaining girl looks strong and healthy. She is now 9 cm tall and 18 cm wide on this last day in week two of veg. Upwards and onwards!

This plant has been my strongest/largest from the gate, so no surprise she was my biggest yielder! Incredibly strong/resilient from the start, however everything seemed to just go right for this plant. Lots of defoliation and attention helped cultivate dense medium-large nugs that certainly pack a punch! Very flavorful, and amazing aroma. I will definitely be growing this strain again!
