So, first of all, I want to say that I´ll be doing the diaries in a weekly updates way, instead of day by day, not only because it is less heavy on me, but I think it´s a better and more attractive reading. So, tell me if you prefer day by day or weekly updates please! Thanks! So, this week was pretty good, thricomes are looking pretty close to harvest. About 90% cloudy, with a little amber and clear. Watered with regular water and didn´t feed her. Flushed it with regular water on day 74, looked like it had still lots of nutes/salts buildup. And about flushing: I saw a really good study (I can link if it´s of interest for someone) showing that flushing isn´t really required, specially if you´re doing organic grows. It was really well explained and had solid arguments and comparisons, even tho, I flushed her in order to see if it really makes a difference. On day 76 when i first opened the tent in the day, she was all the way to the floor, almost hitting 2 tiny girls on the tent. Since she doesn´t had any strenght to support herself, I used some ropes to mantain her up. In resume: The week´s been really nice, she´s beautiful as hell with some purples and I´ve learnt some really good stuff as well.

Day 3: 2358 grams net weight

D78/FD50 - Apologies, a week late on my report. So, the Cookies are being a bit of a dick really!!! The Cheese is striking them and trying to take a few wee bits here and there to save the crop but dont know if I am being agressive enough...Time will tell!!! Tried a bit of Cinnamon around the affected buds and it does appear to stop the rot on contact but don't know how it will impact them. Will continue to monitor... **Update** D84/FD56 - Cookies have become a real problem...Partial harvest time!!! Taking what looks to be "ripe enough" off the girls and leaving some lower buds to mature...hopefully they've not been too impacted. Had some real obvious ones that had to go and though I had some nice keepers, until I started trimming them down for the box to dry and random buds in the bunch had wee bits of grey mold at the stem!! Mild but just not doing it!!! Total bastard!!! Lost about 3-4oz (expected dry weight) easy!!! So no trim kept, all binned or burnt! All a bit of a ballache but, what can you do!!! Anyway, happy growing all!!! 💪

9/18: New week...fed with Boomerang and Kangaroots 9/19: Applied Axiom harpin proteins and boomboom spray 9/20: Fed full strength TPS One...decent growth. The smaller one is less droopy now. 9/21: Tucked a few leaves and took some photos and a video. Looking good. Just a couple more days of 24/0... 9/22: Switched out the 560w of 5000k CCT lighting for 720w of 3000k CCT lighting and set the timer for 12/12. Decided against 13/11 with emerson effect...trying to save a few bucks on electricity. I'm keeping the lights at 30" from the tops for a day or two. 9/23: The girls loved their first night of sleep...so perky!

One plant had a big stretch late this week. But I believe it was due to me placing the middle plant in the back right because my middle light is an older model without bloom switch. And I wanted the nicer plant under the red leds, but over night that next night, it grew like 4 inches above my canopy :/ but i think I'm going to tie the 2 middle stretchers on her to the middle opposing stalks. I started the besties because the buds are formed nicely on top so now I want to start giving some size focused mid bloom nutrients. Going by the schedual so far for flower on my nutrient chart. Oh and when I started using the bud candy I noticed some AMAZING smells that I've never smelt on a strain before. The new tricomes smell like a cotton candy/gummyworm, and the water leaves when cut off smelt like straight gas/diesel. But the 2 smells are not present together. Its weird. Forgot cal mag this week

d.71. had trouble uploading video, so i uploaded some screenshots from the video. d.72 shes looking better after the dose of orgatrex i gave her yesterday. d.73 buds getting bigger 🌞 d.76 i little bit of light bleach, burnt tips due to me readding the tabs and not being too gentle, so i might have broken a few roots in the process, thinking about maybe breaking the taps down to pieces next time ill be in the same situation with better timing, comparing to me re-adding more tabs too late. also im getting a ac infinity tent down the road. been having high humidity due to winter weather comming in

re run ! lets learn and get more out of these!

Week 2 Flower Report: Blackberry Auto's Swift Blossoming! Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 2 of flowering marks a significant milestone in the journey of my Blackberry Auto, and let me tell you, this one's moving at lightning speed – the fastest I've ever witnessed in an auto. Let's dive into the unfolding botanical saga and witness the blossoming beauty firsthand. Burgeoning Buds and Floral Symphony: As the second week of flowering commences, the once-timid buds of Blackberry Auto are now burgeoning into floral marvels at an unprecedented pace. Each bud tells a story of promise and potential, with delicate pistils reaching out like fingers, embracing the essence of bloom. Hydration Harmony and Nutrient Nourishment: The AutoPot Aquavalve continues to be a steadfast companion, ensuring the plant's hydration needs are met with precision, crucial for this rapid growth. Coupled with a nutrient regimen tailored to support flowering, Blackberry Auto thrives in a symphony of hydration and nourishment, laying the groundwork for robust bud development. Aromatic Euphoria and Visual Splendor: As the flowers unfurl, they release an aromatic symphony that fills the air with notes of sweetness and delight. Meanwhile, the visual spectacle is equally captivating, with hues of green giving way to vibrant shades of purple and indigo – a testament to the genetic lineage of Blackberry Auto. Tender Care and Gentle Guidance: Amidst the flowering frenzy, I continue to provide tender care and gentle guidance to Blackberry Auto, ensuring she stays on track despite her rapid pace. Low-stress training techniques are employed to ensure optimal light penetration and bud development, shaping the plant's canopy into a tapestry of floral abundance. Anticipation and Gratitude: With each passing day, anticipation grows for the bountiful harvest that lies ahead. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to @fastbuds_official for bestowing upon us this botanical marvel. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your support fuels this green journey and enables the flourishing of Blackberry Auto's potential. Kudos to Grow Diaries for providing the platform to document and share this journey, and a shoutout to the community for the camaraderie and shared passion that enriches our collective cultivation experience. As we embark on the second week of flowering, I invite you to join me in celebrating the beauty and wonder of Blackberry Auto in bloom, moving at a pace that leaves us all in awe. Together, let's revel in the magic of nature's artistry. 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

I planned to make clones of this plant, but unfortunately the whole place is occupied by other projects, and temporarily I have to give up this idea, but I will continue to grow this plant, later on, I still make clones, and while I tear off the vegetative leaves and give free growth.

Hey everyone :-). The last plants were also placed in the bloom chamber kammer. Everyone has made great progress this week 🙏🏻. There is not much to say about this week, I think videos and pictures say more like words 🙈😎. I wish you all a good start into the week :-) Stay healthy and let it grow 🙏🏻👍

5/16/2024 5/21 Wish there was more to report on these

Coming along very well. Will begin flushing a few of the strains soon. The gorilla skittlez and the wedding cake are looking super frosty! Started harvesting the gorilla glue but will only post the whole set of pics once it is dried and cured and ready to be smoked.
