This week has gone great! At the beginning of the week we flushed the remaining Fox farm nutrients we had been using before with Sledgehammer. After we treated with an organic compost tea brewed by our local hydroponic shop. We started with the Cyco Platinum Series this week. It’s still a bit early to tell but we will see how this nutrient line performs. I am very optimistic. As you may be able to tell I have a reservoir with coco coir mix on top with a drip irrigation system. I’m going to be trying out this system and an ebb and flow system in the upcoming weeks. I’m looking to maximize quality and quantity and believe these two system offer some of the best results. We look forward to starting that project! As for the lady she is looking extremely healthy. She is recovering well from being topped and lst. We’re going to let her grow up a bit now and stretch her out across the first trellis. My experience says this should be in 2-3 weeks and the. We will let her grow up through the second trellis. All in all I believe I’m looking at a 7-10 week veg. My goal is to shoot for a minimum of 1.3lbs from one plant. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Leave a comment if you have any questions or if you have any suggestions! Please check out my Instagram. Link in my Bio. Peace ✌️ Love ❤️ and Thanx 👍

| 📅 Week 14 Harvest | | 🌱 3 Plants | | 🎪 4x4 Tent | | ⚖️ Final Weight: 11.75 Ounces | _______________________________________________________________________________________ I am very please with the results of this grow and look forward to doing this strain again sometimes in the future! There are Some major things I would do differently a second time around, but nothing too critical. Please feel free to leave behind any suggestions or things you would like to see done in a future diary of mine! Anything from strains to lights and setup, just feel free to ask! This strain was a beauty to grow and I am very pleased with the results. I am doing a Blackberry by Fastbuds in my next diary, but after that I'm open so feel free to suggest a strain. I am looking for more colorful strains like this one 😎 _______________________________________________________________________________________ If you enjoyed this Diary feel free to follow me here on Grow Diaries as well as Instagram and Youtube to see the rest of my content 😘 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/hightv.ig YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChV8yzZviLCHpGAktvr6r0w0 NEXT GROW W/ TIME-LAPSE: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/18963-blackberry-auto-dwc-fastbuds

Se acercan las 2 ultimas semanas. Esta semana y luego se viene flawless. Tratando de bajar de a poco la EC y bajando la humedad para evitar problemas fungicos. Un olor fuerte a frutas tropicales, y mucha resina.

Desgraciadamente el cultivo se quedó estancado en altura y demás. Estoy decepcionado pero la próxima saldrá mejor, no haré tantas podas y quizás cultive automáticas para cosechar rápido

Week 7 – Substrate Saturation & Major Recovery Flush This week was noticeably tougher than the previous ones. After showing strong development for several days, the plant suddenly slowed down and displayed clear signs of stress: halted growth, reduced leaf vigor, and poor nutrient absorption. A quick diagnosis revealed the cause: an excessively high EC in the substrate, leading to a severe root lockout. ⚠️ Despite the difficult situation, the corrective intervention was heavy, precise, and absolutely necessary. ⸻ 🌧️ Major Blockage – Excessive EC in the Root Zone The symptoms matched a classic salt buildup: • stalled vertical and lateral growth • leaves showing tension and mild droop • delayed response to watering • slightly uneven color The conclusion was straightforward: 👉 The root zone was overloaded with mineral salts, preventing the plant from taking up nutrients and even basic moisture. Without a fast and well-executed flush, things could have worsened quickly. ⸻ 💧 Intensive Flush — 18 Liters at pH 6.2 (No Nutrients) To restore balance, you performed a deep, controlled flush: • 18 liters of water • pH calibrated to 6.2 • no nutrients added This reset allowed you to: ✔️ remove a significant portion of the salt buildup ✔️ rehydrate and oxygenate the substrate ✔️ restore proper root metabolism ✔️ rebalance the soil’s pH The final readings after the flush were excellent: • Runoff PPM brought down to 900 • Substrate pH stabilized at 6.5 These values are completely safe and give the plant a clean base to recover from the lockout. ⸻ 🔄 Plant Response — Still Weak, but Improving Although the plant hasn’t fully bounced back yet: • leaf posture is slowly improving • color is becoming more uniform • the root zone is breathing again • growth should restart within the next 48–72 hours A slight delay after such a heavy flush is normal and expected. The priority now is letting the plant recover at its own pace. ⸻ Nutrients — Mandatory Pause After such a deep reset: • no nutrients were given • the substrate must stabilize before feeding resumes • the plant needs time to re-open nutrient pathways Overfeeding too early could recreate the same EC issue. Patience is key. ⸻ 🌬️ Environment & Structure Despite the setback: • the structure remains solid • the LST framework is still intact • environmental conditions stayed stable • no pests or diseases are present The problem was strictly chemical (EC-related), not environmental. ⸻ 🌸 Next Step — Wait for Clear Signs of Recovery Before training, shaping, or switching to 12/12: 👉 wait for visible new growth and fully opened leaves. Once you see fresh, healthy movement, you can gently reintroduce nutrients at reduced strength. Only then should you consider whether to extend veg or plan the flowering transition. ⸻ 🔥 Conclusion — A Difficult Week, But a Clean Save Week 7 brought a serious challenge: a heavy nutrient lockout caused by excessive EC. However, your response was fast, precise, and completely on point. The 18 L flush at pH 6.2 successfully: • cleared the excess salts • stabilized the substrate • restored a safe pH of 6.5 • brought the EC back to manageable levels The plant is now on the path to recovery, and the worst has been avoided. Next week should show clear progress.

Very exciting time. Drinking a gallon a day each plant. Three very different geno/phenos. Back left is oily stout Z leaning plant. The biggest plant (right side) is kush mintz leaning with more yield than anything. The 3rd has nice sphere sized bugs coming in. Heavy feeders

🌿 Woche 5 – Start in die Blüte. Ab dieser Woche wird’s spannend – die Mädels starten offiziell in die Blütephase. Das Licht steht jetzt auf 12/12. Die Girl Scout Cookies wurde von 44 cm auf 39 cm getoppt, damit sie ungefähr die gleiche Höhe wie die Gorilla Skittlez hat. Wir hoffen auf eine schöne und entspannte Blütephase. Updates folgen natürlich.

The fourth week of growth has begun, and our FBA 2502 from 42Fast Buds is thriving. After the transplant into a 10-liter pot, the plant has adapted well and continues to develop strong and healthy. Despite being an autoflower, we're experimenting with a 12/12 light cycle, and so far, the results look promising. The temperature remains stable, reaching up to 30°C during the day, with an average of 27°C–28°C. Humidity is maintained between 60% and 65%, providing optimal conditions for growth. The plant has grown noticeably, now standing between 20 and 25 cm, with well-developed foliage. We've started applying low-stress training (LST) to shape its structure, encouraging better light penetration and maximizing potential yields. Additionally, we continue to feed our beauty with Xpert Nutrients, and the results are already visible—strong, vibrant growth and lush green leaves. Everything is on track, and we’re excited to see how our experiment unfolds in the coming weeks!

Time lapse is from 7th to 12th May. 13th Moved them all to the main tent. Noticed they enjoyed it more in there as they seemed happier the next day. Wished i started in there...oh well! 15th Potted all up but then realised I didn't have enough soil for the organic pot. Waiting for soil to arrive this week so I can pot up to final 11L fabric pot. Once she is potted up i'll expect to see rapid growth as she'll have all she needs. Fingers crossed.

The heads are starting to swell now , the lowers are looking undeveloped still. I might do a little defoliation to let in some more light next week. I’ve noticed the first bit of change in a couple of the old lower fan leaves this week. At this stage I’m not too concerned. Buds are frosty, sticky and dank smelling.
