Welcome to week 9. 7/2 today I defoiliated some damaged leaves from Gaia and Circe trying to make them look presentable. The lock out has done damage last will last until they are harvested. Last week was flushing every 2 days with 2 gallons of water for each plant in the tent. PH of the soil is down from 8 .2 to 7.2 not so alkaline. 7/3 water feed and some pics. I made 4 gallon fertilizer solutions using TPS1 fertilizer 10ml per gal. I made 1/2 strength at total 22,5ml Signal 1ml per gal. Total 2.5ml Ppm total 620 After I fed 4 liters each I followed 3 hours later to test the run off. Cream caramel Ec .99 ppm 690 ph 5.95 runoff 2 ltr in drip pan Gaia EC .88 ppm 620 ph 6.82 run off 2.5 ltr Circe Ec 1.30 ppm 910 ph 6.16 runoff .75 ltr 7/4 reduced light schedule to 15 hrs from 18 hrs. 7/5 flushed all with 2 gal each 7/6 cream Caramel is showing lockout now too😨 even with flushing. 7/7 more flushing. Last week I mentioned books that I've read that influenced my thoughts, beliefs and how I see the world. I grew up in the 1970s, ( my formative years) in Tidewater Virginia, situated on the Atlantic Ocean. Friends and I went to the beach, not for fun in the sun but to go to the A.R.E. The ARE is Edgar Cayce's, Association for Research and Enlightenment and the Heritage store which was a new age metaphysical crystal shop with crystals, stones, meditation, and yoga classes. I scoured old bookstores looking for books written on spiritualism, psychology, alternative religions, old doctor books, etc. My desire to be a healing practitioner stems from my books from Jeanne Rose in 1970s. She is the first herbal medicine woman in modern times. Florence Scovel Shinn, metaphysician, lecturer, artist- The Game of Life and others written in 1925. Edgar Cayce's trance readings. The older books are out of print but may still be found. There is a River is Edgar Cayce's life story. Hidden Life of Trees is a must read. It explains connectedness. Interestingly, my great uncle, in his writings (above) references the spiritual laws written in the books mentioned above. From various religious scriptures, the existence of personal behavioral laws, as I would describe as code of honor, as indicated are the ways to true Peace. Throughout my generations the search for spiritual truths have fallen outside the realm of traditional religious formation. From the spiritual sense, I have emerged full circle. grandparents' and parents' lifetimes, there were world wars. Everyone had a focus on world peace. Mucha's quote on week 8 emphasizes the need to build bridges, to achieve peace. Sadly, I remember watching the Vietnam War on the news when I was growing up. Well I started college with dream of becoming a doctor, but changed to business and accounting. During my college years, I worked part time jobs in a stock brokerage firm and jewelry store. From that point on I loved nice jewelry and desired the unusual gemstones that were mentioned by Edgar Cayce. Eventually I started my career in Accounting working in in hospitals, banking and finally in local and state government and higher education. In my late 30's having a midlife crisis, I felt that I really belonged in as a healer. I considered homeopathic school but my daughter was recently born. I did not want to travel to New York and be away from my family. An opportunity missed. My words of wisdom: If you have strong feelings in your gut, the little voice in your heart tells you that "this", what ever this represents to you, is your path. Follow your dream. My gut still gnaws at me. I graduated with a BS in accounting with a minor in psychology, continues my education thru MBA. My entire career was in accounting and finance. My last position was the Director of Financial Reporting and Revenue. I was happy, loved my job, I had a great staff. My plan was to work until I was 70 as I have good genes for longevity. Cancer changed that. The focus of oncologists is to check the cancer free box at 5 years. I'm working on cleaning up the aftermath of the storm. Yeah, my hormones are still wrecked. Ladies and Gentlemen, tell all the females you know, never take hormone replacement therapy. Try acupuncture, herbal teas, deep breathing.

Week 11 - Sixth Week of Flower The Donutz tent has officially entered the “sit back, water, and enjoy” phase. With all the hard work done, it’s now a matter of letting the plants do their thing and watching the magic unfold. Key Updates: Steady Growth: The buds are stacking up nicely, with the purple phenos becoming even more vibrant and the other plants continuing to bulk up. Even the thinner phenos are starting to show signs of filling out as they settle deeper into the flowering phase. Stable Routine: Watering with reverse osmosis (RO) water remains consistent, and the tent environment is running smoothly with no changes needed. Observations: The trichomes are sparkling more each day, covering the buds and sugar leaves with a frosty layer. The aroma is intensifying, filling the space with a sweet, rich fragrance that’s impossible to ignore. The canopy looks uniform and healthy, a testament to the early defoliation and training work. Next Steps: Simply monitor the plants, ensuring they stay hydrated and happy. Enjoy the show as the buds continue to develop and the trichomes ripen. The Donutz are cruising toward the finish line, and the Florida Gang vibes are at an all-time high. It’s all about patience and appreciation now — the hard work is paying off!

🌿 Week 4 Veg – Beauty, Branching & Bio-Tech Symphony Grower’s Journal – BlueBerry by Zamnesia Seeds | Entry 005 Welcome to Week 4 of Veg, and let’s just say it clearly: These BlueBerry girls are growing like there’s no tomorrow. Branching like crazy, stretching into their potential, and looking like true queens under the lights. ⸻ 📸 Visuals to Match the Growth This week, we pulled them out of the tent for a special photoshoot, just to honor how gorgeous they’ve become. Their structure is perfect, the leaves are flawless, and the pace of development is exactly where we want it. These are the kinds of plants that make growers pause, smile, and say, “Yes, this is working.” ⸻ 🌱 Nutrition – A Balanced, Thoughtful Feed We’re continuing our Aptus nutrient regimen, supporting explosive vegetative growth while maintaining biological harmony in the root zone: Current Feed (per liter): • Regulator – 0.15 ml: Cell wall integrity, anti-stress armor, and enhanced nutrient uptake • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml: Supporting structural development and leaf strength • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml: The nutritional foundation, covering macro and micronutrients • 🌿 Start Booster – 0.25 ml: Still supporting root density, node stacking, and early branching 🌿 Why we’re using this: Because we’re in rapid growth mode, and we want to fuel expansion without pushing too hard. This combo delivers strength, balance, and root vitality, exactly what we want before any training or pre-flower stretch. ⸻ 🌞 Lighting – Now a Two-Zone Setup We’ve expanded the operation—stretching across an 8x8 space, creating two active light zones: ⚡️ Zone 1 – Black Series 600 by Future of Grow • Full-spectrum LED designed for early veg and structured growth • Gentle but powerful PPFD—keeps internodes tight and leaf color rich ⚡️ Zone 2 – THINKGROW Model One LEDs • Ultra-efficient LEDs with controllable spectrum • Ideal for pushing vigorous vegetative growth across a larger canopy • Controlled via the TrolMaster system for precise lighting schedules and dimming 💡 Both systems are delivering clean, cool light, helping shape the canopy while managing energy use smartly. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow & Environmental Control – Total Tech Harmony We’re not just growing plants—we’re growing a controlled microclimate, with every element tuned: Airflow Setup: • Exhaust: Two 6” inline fans • 1x Spider Farmer 6” Exhaust w/ Carbon Filter – Controlled via Spider Farmer GGS Controller • 1x TrolMaster AeroFan 6” Exhaust w/ Carbon Filter – Controlled via TrolMaster Tent-X Controller • Intake: One 6” fresh-air intake pulling air into the tent 🌀 This system keeps: • CO₂ fresh (~632 ppm) • Temperatures steady (~27°C) • Humidity ideal (~57.4%) • And filters in place keep the air pure, clean, and odor-controlled, even at this early stage 🧠 Sensors & Controllers: • TrolMaster Tent-X Ecosystem – the brains of the setup • Managing lights, exhaust, intake, CO₂, temperature, and humidity • Connected to: • CO₂ sensors • Temperature & Humidity probes • PPFD sensor (light intensity measurements for accuracy) Every zone, every variable is dialed in with care. ⸻ 🌿 Why All This Matters – Creating Plant-Centered Intelligence We’re not just creating a grow tent. We’re creating a living, breathing system that adapts, protects, and encourages growth. Each element, from airflow to light to nutrition, is designed to support the natural intelligence of the plant. And the BlueBerries are responding. They’re thriving, stacking, stretching, and showing gratitude through leaf expression, branch angles, and rhythm. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week • More branching, tighter nodes • Early signs of pre-flower development • Possibly early LST if needed • Continued sensor data collection as we dial in the automation ⸻ 🙅‍♂️ What Not to Expect • No topping yet—structure is still unfolding • No transplant (they’re in final 11L fabric pots) • No overfeeding—we’re keeping it steady and strategic ⸻ 🎥 Video Update – Inside the Setup A video has been added to this week’s update, just a quiet visual journey through the setup: 💡 No narration, just the gear, structure, and rhythm of a garden built with intention. The systems speak for themselves. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts – BlueBerry as a Statement This isn’t just another grow. It’s a special BlueBerry run. A classic cultivar grown with modern methods, storytelling, and reverence. We’re blending nature with tech, instinct with data, and roots with rhythm. Thank you for being here. The best is yet to grow. 🌿 With light and love, Your faithful garden companion 🌱💚 DD💚 As always, this is part of our ongoing Grow Series, an open diary of everything we do and why.

The smell.... amazing... Looks like I have ended up with 3 purple phenos and 2 green phenos out of these 5! These are stacking up nicely, however, they seem like they will end up being smaller plants than im used to. Just kind of staying low and slow. They have a long ways to go, so ya never know! They may gain some size, but they better do it soon! These ladies hit the HPS light this week, at 750 watts. So we will see! Some BEAUTIFUL purple flower!

🍀21/07 - Ya se encuentra en etapa de secado. 🍀El lunes le agregue 30L de agua y 10ml de Top Wash. 🍀Esta planta se encuentra mas resinosa y densa que la otra que también cultive. 🍀Todo fue perfecto desde el momento uno, no tuvo ningún problema en toda su etapa de vida. 🍀Tiene mucho olor, a caramelo o crema, todos sus cocos son densos y gordos. 🍀En total dio 163g. 🍀En estos días seguiré subiendo mas imágenes de como viene. 😶‍🌫️🇦🇷🍀Podes seguirme en Insta gram como @bruweed_arg🍀😶‍🌫️🇦🇷

Heute habe ich meine Girls ein 2 mal getoppt, und einwenig entlaubt. Vor 2 Tagen habe ich von jeder Pflanze 2 Stecklinge entnommen da das Wachstum sehr gut ist, und sie mit dem Stress gut zurecht kommen, bis jetzt zeigen sie keine Mangelerscheinungen. Futter gab es heute nur einwenig da ich sie nicht übersättigen will. Ich werde sie ein drittes mal toppen wenn meine Girls in den nächsten Tagen keine stress Symptome anzeigt.

Day 21 After yesterday’s emergency bare root transplant out of biosolids, things are looking like there’s a glimmer of hope... They got topped and pruned yesterday. a little earlier than I would have liked, but it made sense. Day 23 Transplanted again down to 2 gallon pots to make room for another round I started. I decided to cut the fan leaves, too. These have been pruned and topped down to nothing but the emerging foilage from the 3rd and 4th nodes. My thinking is that the root system is so compromised that the less foliage they have to feed, the better. Fed some General Organics Bio Root 0-1-1 to promote root growth. Light mnist of pH’d water for foilar feeding. Day 25 I think the Bio Root and the shade is doing them good 🤞Time will tell. If these come back strong, I’ll move them into 15 gallon living soil bags.

A-Day 81, B&C-Day 77 A- Is already 1/2 way through week 12, she almost all cloudy, with some amber tricomes now. I have started her “flush” just water for two feeds now. I’m going to keep watch, and see when is the right time, no rushing this go around . 🌱😎💨 B- is doing great, fattening up daily. A few more weeks at least, I hope she gets as big as her sister A 😍she got a full strength dose of nutrients twice this week and a water only feed in between. PPM was close to 1000 . C- is thickening up, I have her a slight defoliation and tied her down a bit to spread her branches. She is turning into a beast 🤩she also got 2 full dose feeds, and a water in between. Just keep spinning them around to get the even coverage.

F-MILF takes 70 % of my tent now...wtf Hope all this green gives some good buds at the end. Deficiency from last week is under control...added some Silicate from TA...no idea if that helped or anything else...of course...there is too much light photons for the above area...but wtf I cannot do the plant smaller...lamp is on 75% now und lower would be bad for lower buds. NL untopped (F-MILF) getting this week: (TA nutrients mentioned above are for NL topped from other tent...pictures follow) Aptus Topbooster 6 drops/l (increased) Aptus P-boost 12 drops/l (increased) Aptus regulator 3 drops/l Aptus All in one 0.6 ml/l Aptus CaMg 0.6 ml/l TA Silicate 0.4g/l 4-6 litre each day nutrified (thats a real problem) F-MILF cannot get enough...just makes me poor that fat big milf

Main plant (indoors/LED) looks great. Frosty went almost way down, very sugary. Pistills tuned almost completely brown. Trichomes look not ready yet, most milky but none amberish. The smaller one, started to get super bushy, buds are relative small. Weather got lot warmer. Lots of sun for number two.
