********Week 1 Flower - Sept 19 to 25, 2020*******
We switched to flower this week and put in the first SCROG layer.....been busy😃These girls have been pretty happy this week given they have grown quite tall and buds are setting and moved on to stacking already. Great signs so early on😎🤞 I had LST on the girls and then decided to remove the ties since they were topped and under a net so maybe stretch wouldn’t be too bad.......ties went back on at the end of the week😃💪🤪 Pheno 4 has on branch that had HST done and knuckle formed, still growing up so had to keep it tied down as well. Down side to running a 9 week veg, if they want to get big, they will😂😂😂
Pest maintenance this week as we are getting the last days I am able to comfortably spray the girls. Lost Coast Plant Therapy to keep the gnats, aphids and thrips in check😃
Keeping the waterings up and getting a fair bit of runoff from the feedings but that is best for Coco to avoid lockouts and pH issues. There were only three feeding days this week. We switched to bloom nutes for base and added silica for supplementals. Vitamin B and Kelp coming from B52 and sweetener for the microbes from bud candy, Bud Ignitor doing its thing as PK boost. As well as Sensyzime to let the enzymes clean up the root zone because they have been in the pots for a few weeks now.
Little more detail:
Sept 19/20 - Day 1
- Plant Therapy @ 5ml in 1L water. Ph to 5.4.
- Folier spray applied to whole tent half hour before lights on, used 3/4 of mixture
- Feeding mixture was Sensyzime @ 1ml only
- 25ppm and 5.2pH......missed it a bit.
- each girl given 3L
- SCROG put in
Sept 20/20 - Day 2
- Sprayed the last of the IPM mixture on the tent tonight.
- Noticed several small shinny spots on leaves later today.....suspect from Folier spray on leaves.
Sept 21/20 - Day 3
- Nice full strength week 1 mixture applied today
- Rhino Skin, Cal Mag @ 2ml, Sensi Bloom A&B , B52, Bud Ignitor, Bud Candy @ 1ml.
- 625 ppm and 5.7pH
- 3L given to each girl.......not enough runoff.....bump feedings up to 4L going forward.
- silica added today.
Sept 23/20 - Day 5
- CalMag @ 2ml, Rhino, Sensi Bloom A&B, B52, Bud Candy, Bud Ignitor @ 1ml.
- 850ppm and 5.9pH
- 4L given to each girl.
- better run off amount
That wraps up the first week of flower........The net is in and the lights flipped. The girls were ready for flower and now we just need to keep giving them what they want for the next 6 weeks and then coast from there👍 These are some strong and fast growing girls.....keeps a grower on their toes! I expected the heights to be where they are but must admit I was hopeful that was the end of week 2. Issues will come in when trying to ripen the bud around week 8. They are growing so well right now.....keep them happy and in the end everyone is happy👍❤️👍
Such a solid strain @Sweet_Seeds......a great hybrid you should be very proud of!!! 🙏🙏🙏

D56 - 11.13 - Looking great. The buds on the dwarf cheese is continue to swell and frost over while the other on is spitting out long white hairs and getting juicy! Not sure how long this dwarf is going to take to finish, but maybe 2-3 more weeks?
D60 - 11.17 - :)

Big defoliation for making the 12/12 switch
Will be updating Tru the week
And remember just grow weed and stop growing bullyish behavior
visit www.marshydro.eu
for your best gear and use the PROMO CODE: DEVILSBUD
Some info about the Marshydro FC-4800
Superb Quality LED Chips: The whole light is composed of 1206 pcs Samsung lm301b and Osram 660nm chips. More than two times as many LEDs are used to drive the grow lights at low currents and to avoid overdrive. Quality is guaranteed and efficiency is up to 2.8 μmol/j.
Even PAR Distribution and High PPFD Output: The multi-light bar design and the densely distributed light chips enable the LED grow lights to achieve the optimum PPFD required for plant growth over the entire effective coverage area.
Specifically Designed Spectrum: To ensure even plant growth, blue and red light are enhanced on the basis of a full spectrum combination. Not only does this accelerate plant growth, but it also improves the yield and quality of the plants at the same time.
Dimming Daisy Chain Function: The dimming function saves on electricity costs and enables brightness from 10% to 100% for the different stages of plant growth. A single master light can connect up to 30 lights in a daisy-chain system.
Business LED Grow Light: The light's wavy heat sink dissipates heat quickly and the IP65 waterproof allows the light to operate in humid conditions. 180° collapsible feature for easier installation. All these features provide favorable assistance for commercial cultivation.

🍇 BlueBerry #1 & #2 — Week 7 Flower
From Roots to Resilience
Hello beautiful souls, welcome back to our BlueBerry adventure — and a warm hello to anyone just joining us! Let’s do a little recap before diving into the magic.
From seed to soil, our girls were lovingly nurtured in Aptus Holland super soil, guided by biological balance and living nutrients. Through every stage — from seedling to lush vegetation, from first pre-flower pistils to dense, frosty colas — these BlueBerries have been nothing short of spectacular.
Last week brought a challenge: Bud rot found its way into one of our beauties. But quick action, gentle hands, and a bit of intuition made all the difference. We removed the affected areas, adjusted airflow, and kept a close eye. This week, we’re happy to say no new signs of rot — just thriving flowers and crystal-coated buds glowing under the light.
🌞 Environmental Notes
It’s been hot, really hot — outdoor temps reaching 45°C (around 110°F). To manage, we’re running the grow during night cycles, where we can keep the environment steadier. Even with heat challenges, the girls are handling it like queens — strong stems, thick stalks, and buds forming beautifully from top to bottom.
🌿 Feeding & Support
Our current recipe remains the Aptus + Plagron combo:
• Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost
• Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation
Together, they’re forming the symphony of this bloom — supporting cell structure, enhancing terpene expression, and encouraging thick resin development.
One of the top buds was removed this week — not out of sadness, but as a precaution and an act of love. It was massive, too dense, and could’ve invited humidity trouble again. We took the chance to document it with photos, showing both the beauty and the lesson.
🌸 Reflections
This grow has become a story of evolution — from the first transplant to the first flower, from trial to triumph. The inner canopy lights (ICL300) continue to shine beautifully, ensuring every level of the canopy is well-fed with photons. The plants are stacking heavy, leaning on the yo-yos for support, like true heavyweights in the ring.
💬 A Note of Gratitude
A huge thank-you to Zamnesia for keeping the classics alive and to everyone following this journey — readers, growers, dreamers, haters, lovers, and the endlessly curious. Every comment, every question, every bit of love fuels this passion.
We’ll keep learning, keep growing, and keep showing that even when nature throws a curveball, love and attention always bring balance back.
Until next week — may your gardens be green and your buds be clean. 🌱💫

As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant. Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together.
With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself, and always do things expecting nothing and with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will give back in ways you could never imagine.
💚 Growers love to all 💚

I don’t think I ever had white powdery mildew and I was just noid of every little dust particle that came around. All good. I’m now battling high temps as we don’t have central air and it’s mid 90s outside. Most likely about to buy an ac unit. LST seemed to go ok but we shall see. Overall very pleased w my results so far.

The Slurricane IX is a beast of a plant to grow, the growth is quick and quite bushy. I would advise to train these plants SCROG..or something.. the stretch is just crazy..im gona say prepare for a 200% + stretch. Thy will easily get out of of control if not managed well.
Pest resistance is good, i did not have any bug problems, but i did have a small WPM issue, but it was very crowded in there. Sorted it out by defoliation and a treatment of hydrogen peroxide took care of the problem.
Very thirsty plants, at there peak, 9 plants was drinking 110L a week.
Very stong smelling plants. Extremely dense flowers covered in a sluricane of trichomes.
Harvest of the plant is quite easy, not a very bushy cola..so its a easy trim.
Overall a great genetic to grow and a beautiful plants in itself.
@InHouseGenetics .. superb.
Thank you guys so much for giving us the privilege to grow such amazing genetics.
Keep up the great work.
Happy growing. 😁

The room is short of Space, but buds are well growing. I had yellow marks starting on the leaves and I decided to add a bit of calmag, it looks like it might be good. I had to cut off few leaves, and I have reorganize the disposition a bit for more homogeneity. All looks good.
