Day 15 - Starting week 3 and all is good and seems to be on track. Will up the water intake just a tad and will start giving her a light feeding of Trchnaflora nutrients this week. Gave her a small amount of plain pH’d water today and a foliar spray. Day 16 - She’s still coming along nicely and gave her her first feeding of nutes today. Only went about a quarter the suggested dosage and only about a cup and a half watered around the base. I’ll keep an eye on her to make sure she takes everything in ok. Day 17 - Had to give her a bit more water today, the soil was already dry according to the soil meter. She took well to it yesterday so she’s definitely not overwatered so should be good today. Day 18 - Nothing new today, just some updated pictures and checked to see how much height she gain and very minimal right now, about 1/8 of an inch bit looking nice and heathy. Her “lower” growth is starting to grow a bit but still seems a bit early to start some LST, will probably wait until next week or so. Day 20 - Almost the end of week 3 and she’s doing great. Gave her about 200ML of plain pH’d water today and I’ve notice she always droops a bit after giving her some but picks right up after a couple hours but will still keep an eye on her to make sure it wasn’t too much. Other than that, she still somewhat short but her lower growth is coming up pretty good so want to start some LST soon. Day 21 - The end of week 3 and decided to start LST. She’s starting to branch out nicely so wanted to get as much light to the other branches as I possibly could. She’s good on water for a few days but did give her a light mist.

Week 7 had its share of temperatures variations . Combined with my lack of cfl bulb distance from buds knowledge had the tips of the calix turn light yellow and caused the pistils to turn orange at the tip. No serious harm done but this is how you become a better grower and getting to know how different phenotypes react to environmental changes and adaptation. Luckily for me the ruderalis genes in the blue dream matic from fastbuds makes her pretty resistant to stress and traumatic “mistakes “ cause you got real high one night and decided that defoliation would be great right now 👍🏻

Week 13 started Sunday June 19, 2022 PPFD is around 900-1000 umol/s/m2 and from 16" to 13" inches away (two massive colas on right side) its over 1200 at 13" so I am worried about bnding those down daily She's fully back from her flowering transition and now putting energy into the colas. She has greened up, cal mag FTW. I have been running a diluted combo of Mad Farmer MOAB, don't ask, I just do it by gut feel and I read the label EVERY time I apply this. Running a little of Tiger Bloom in there, super weak amount. Hygrozyme now that the res has been up and clear for over a week holding Ph well, and no drama. AutoPot is performing better than I had hoped given the lack of parts, now fixed thanks to AutoPot support. Great team over there BTW. The valve is pulling water in just when the roots have been "exposed" for a short while (this is inside the pot so obviously blacked out). IOW there is a pocket with air stones that I run 24/7 so the soggy soil is continuously aerated. It pulls in my solution that is about 6.5 Ph as of this AM (Recall WW likes it a little higher). Now that I have her in flowering mode, she is wanting more heat and light so I lowered the lights and adjusted the fan to get humidity down I am ONLY running the COB LED right now because she is performing well enough and environment is pretty good Lots of airflow and she is healthy. Routine 🐛🐝🐜🐞, easily killed in one organic treatment of Crop Control and another from Dr. Earth. Fungus gnats, and a couple of other unidentified bugs Temps are pretty stable and my CO2 is high, sometimes over 1100 naturally. I do have a new Black Pearl Oyster mushroom going in the room, probably belong CO2, all air inlets into my two small cannabis tents are filtered with small particle filters and I egress hot air out of a 15 ft 6" diameter vent through the ceiling. There is also a natural vent allowing lots of fresh air into my space. It a great area to grow in. Light defoliation here and there, lots of bending and checking things, but otherwise not much to do except look for issues and maintain the environment, we are locked in for the next two weeks, just dialing in the environment and trying to get humidity down without running too much energy. 6/21 Adjusted TDS to 269 from 315 and added some Big Bloom to the mix in a super diluted form. This is prime time flower and she is feeding fiercely. I need to stack those bud site and put on some weight, so this stuff is always good to add. But always mindful of the MOAB, its a lot and I could easily burn if I goof up. *** Found that week 10 should probably be a vegetative week, so I I adjusted to represent more accurate timing. So I backtracked and fix some dates, yep I am in week three of flower not four, and I am probably on day 15-17 of flower, easily have about 40 days left. Before I posed my grow question I was guessing five weeks so I guess despite the mix up, I was thinking about the same time. Pics uploaded

The seedling is doing really well. We are progressing at a normal pace. There isn't much else to report this week. These weeks are always slow and pretty boring. I'm just keeping the medium sufficiently watered. Thank you for checking in this week and hanging out in the comments 😁💚✌️🌱🤞🧡

🌸 Week 2 Flower – BlueBerry Diaries Continue Grower’s Journal – BlueBerry by Zamnesia Seeds | Entry 007 ⸻ 🌱 From Seed to Here – A Quick Recap Our BlueBerry journey began with three germinated seeds, from which we carefully selected two strong phenotypes to carry into flower. From delicate sprouts to fast-branching vegetative bushes, they’ve thrived under a mix of Aptus nutrition and precisely managed environments. By Week 4 of veg, their symmetry and vigor showed just how stable and legendary these genetics really are true to the BlueBerry heritage: Afghan strength, Thai influence, and purple notes hidden in their DNA. Now, here in flower, they’re 57 cm tall, nearly twins in their morphology, and fully embracing their transition into bloom. ⸻ 🌸 Week 2 in Bloom – Shifting Morphology This week the girls are changing shape, stacking nodes tighter, pushing pistils, and clearly leaving veg behind. Their body language is all flower now: • Branches are stretching with intention. • Nodes are clustering toward bud formation. • Pistils are reaching, glowing under the LEDs. Despite fewer photos this week (a busy one outside the garden), a room tour video captures it all the environment, the gear, the girls in context. What the photos can’t show, the video will. ⸻ Nutrient Recipe – An Improvised Symphony We shifted last week from Start Booster → Top Booster, and this week we’ve gone further by weaving in Plagron additives. 🌼 Current Recipe (per liter) • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml 📌 Note: All-in-One Liquid is on pause, the soil pellets are providing base nutrition, while Plagron complements are here to push flower expression. Why this recipe? Because flower is about stacking, energy, and quality. • Power Buds → boosts initial flower development • Sugar Royal → supports metabolism + secondary metabolites (terpenes, aromas) • Green Sensation → bloom stimulator for resin and density • Top Booster → P+K push at the perfect timing It’s experimental, yes, but that’s how progress and learning happen. Past runs with Plagron have shown promise, so this run is the testbed for full synergy. ⸻ Room Conditions – Riding the Summer Wave • Temperature peaks: up to 34°C (a bit high) • Humidity range: 50–70% depending on the day • VPD: averaging 1.89 kPa Not perfect, but the girls are adapting beautifully. Their leaves remain vibrant, posture upright, and growth unimpeded. ✅ Upcoming fix: AC unit arriving soon to stabilize temp & RH into optimal ranges. ⸻ 🌊 Watering & Substrate Monitoring Irrigation is triggered when soil moisture drops to 19–20%, measured precisely by the TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor, connected to the Tent-X brain. This system doesn’t just track moisture, but also EC and medium data, giving real-time insights into what’s happening below the surface. It’s like having an X-ray into the soil, ensuring that every watering is timely and efficient. ⸻ 💡 Lighting & Ecosystem • Future of Grow LEDs + ThinkGrow Model 1 LEDs running together, controlled by TrolMaster ecosystem. • New addition: Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W in the tent, expanding coverage and spectrum flexibility. As the canopy thickens, we’ll be increasing light intensity to match plant demand and keep PPFD within optimal flowering ranges. ⸻ 🐝 A Moment for the Bees – Nature’s Allies This week, alongside garden updates, I want to honor the bees 🐝💛. In the wild, bees are the silent partners of flowering plants, carrying life between blossoms, ensuring the cycle of fruit, seed, and renewal continues. Without them, much of what we enjoy in gardens and on our tables would not exist. Just as I guide my BlueBerries with nutrients, lights, and sensors, bees guide the world with wings, pollen, and persistence. They are tiny alchemists, weaving ecosystems together. So here’s a fairy-tale note for the bees: “Every pistil in my tent glows in light. Every flower in the fields waits for you. May the hum of your wings remind us always, life depends on the smallest of guardians.” ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – Week 3 Flower We expect: • Bud stacking to intensify • Resin glands to begin sparkling • Aroma to whisper into the air (first terpenes awakening) • Nutrient balance to remain key as morphology shifts fully into flower No heavy defoliation yet, focus stays on stability, airflow, and adaptation as the stretch slows and flowers bulk begins. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts – Busy Week, Blooming Garden Even without many photos, the garden speaks for itself. The video tour shows it: thriving plants, a robust ecosystem, and the beauty of legendary genetics expressing in modern conditions. From seed, through veg, and now two weeks into flower, the BlueBerry story continues to write itself. And it’s a story of balance: between nature and technology, experiment and tradition, the grower’s hand and the plant’s will. With bees in the fields and LEDs in the tent, life is thriving. And that’s what this journey is all about. 🌸🌍🐝 Growers Love to you all, DD (DogDoctor)🌱💚 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

End of day 41 flower and will be flushing both girls on day 42 flower. Overall the buds don’t seem as fat as it should be but hopefully during the flush they should gain some weight. I took a bunch of clones so those will be going to flower soon and now I have a better understanding of how to treat these girls during the flowering stage. Also popped two Blueberry seeds so I will have a journal on that soon.

Super easygoing strain, and fun to grow. Looks like a nice yield but I'll have to update with weight after it's dry. This sweetie was grown in 6 gallons, from seed, under non adjustable lighting from seedling through harvest. Base nutes and cal mag. Ocean Forest/perlite in the bottom 3/4, Happy Frog/perlite on the top 1/4. Trained with a combo of scrog/lst techniques. The lights are two 50 dollar "1000 watt equivalent" Amazon LEDs, they say their max input is 280 volts though so I have no idea what grams to watts will be when the dry weight comes in. Thanks to everyone who checked or checks this diary out, that's pretty cool of you! I'll be back in a bit to update weight and smoke, happy trails!

I hope she’s done stretching because she’s back to being 8” from the light and I need to readjust the way I hung it if I will need to raise to it any further.. she’s drinking about 2 litres a day in total, thirsty bitch, will be increasing frequency to 3 feeds this week. Leaves look lovely, buds getting hairy, trichomes appearing. Now it’s just waiting for her to bulk up over the next month or so. I’m very proud of her structure. Not noticing a smell yet, growers nose, I know she smells. Pothead has taken to pruning very well. Working on her open cup structure, defoliating and getting fed with GP3 veg nutes. She’s a beautiful little mother and she’s enjoying hanging out with the family in the living room under a little qb. She’s exactly as I hoped she’d be. Very grateful this grow is working out for me. We did our crash course in experimenting and dialling in our grow last season and this grow is proving that we learned a lot and it was worthwhile.

Started LST and accidental HST. Lots of good growth fast now. This may not be a fail after all. Am trying some trial error experiments. ReCharge and GS Liquid Fish and Kelp have helped a ton and Rhino Skin has made for very strurdy stem/leaves that are pliable. Altho I stunted these due to (i think) high ph for a cpl weeks, some LST fun is just a must. This is just an experiment. :) I'll post a qwik vid. Judgement free zone-tips welcome. decided to fim 1 OG Kush and 1 Blackberry because..it's an experiment and I want everyone to say "don't ever top an auto."

22.12.Day 85 Blüte 44 von 63-70. Hallo Leute. 🤗 Eine bisher sehr zufriedenstellende Sorte . Resistent, sieht gut aus, Duftet so süß! Aber nicht nur . Wie im Bonbonladen. Viele Nuancen drin. Auch natürlich dieser Weed Geruch, den wir alle mögen. Definitiv hat sie ein paar burn Zeichen. Leicht, aber fast überall. Dafür sind die Knospen ziemlich hart, kleben und werden dicker. PLAGRON hat hier ein Wort mitzureden. Ich könnte ja weniger geben, aber nö. Power Buds Contest heißt es. Nicht grüne Blätter Contest. ( Aber Mal ehrlich, Herbstfarben sind schon schön ) Noch mindestens 19 days in denen die Candy Rain Knospen mästen können. Danke Leute fürs Lesen, liken Kommentieren. 25.12. 9 Tage Dünger, dann 7 Tage Wasser, und schon ist Ernte. 26.12. oh Mann , wenn nicht 63 -70 Tage dranständ, dann würde heute ein Teil gehen.... Aber, der Züchter weiß es am besten. Vertraut denen ruhig. Die kennen sich bestens aus. Tja die Knospen: Reich bedeckt mit Trichomen Kaum, bis keine Viecher. Fest wie ein Tennisball,die oberen + canope. Die unteren mangels Licht natürlich nicht. Das gibt eine Stufen Ernte. Meine Nase wird vom Geruch reich beschenkt. Olala ( ⬅️ Ein Ausruf der Begeisterung ) 👍 Later Oh, die Knospen werden so schwer, das einige untere Arme umkippen. Muhaha geil... 28.12. Blüte day 50. Es gibt nochmal Dünger. Sie wird dann Blüte day 67 geerntet. Der Größte Teil wenigstens. Noch ist sie durstig.

Our Permanent Marker by Zamnesia is a beauty that has started upwards and is not stopping anymore. ** Remember that we are growing a plant worked with the techniques indicated and another left to grow without pruning to preserve its speed; in the previous/next diary you will find the other plant of the same variety. Here the plant has let itself go straight and free and is thanking us very well by giving us some very very beautiful flowers. We are in a 100% organic configuration, the soil is recycled Promix + 1/3 fresh soil + 10% Perlite + RQS Mycorrhizae Mix (4 g in the mix, 1 g under the small fiber pot). We switched to the advanced flowering program a couple of days ago but last week we still did not give green sensation. We fertilize with: // 1 ml/l Sugar Royal - 3 ml/l Alga Bloom - 1 ml/l Power Buds - 1ml/l Green Sensation We sprayed 5 ml/l Vita Race Foliare once a week. For all the info https://plagron.com/ All nutrients are available from Zamnesia: https://www.zamnesia.io/it/531-growshop/476-fertilizers We always have the excellent mycorrhizae from RQS that run through the soil. https://www.zamnesia.io/5778-mix-micorrhiza-easy-roots.html Try this variety, it is a top strain of recent years very high level of thc ---- // https://www.zamnesia.io/it/12508-zamnesia-seeds-permanent-marker.html Brief description of Zamnesia // Here is a good opportunity to enrich your genetic library with another award-winning variety: Permanent Marker was crowned Strain of the Year 2023 by Leafly, thanks to its intense aromas, high levels of THC and its physical vivacity. Originally created by JBeezy and Seed Junky Genetics, our team managed to secure a cutting of this modern top cultivar, so you can grow it comfortably at home, whether indoors, outdoors or in a greenhouse. Permanent Marker fits perfectly in any environment! The whole world of growing and more is at Zamnesia: just take a look at the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. -- // www.zamnesia.com
