? Blueberry Muffin – Pheno A Week 5 | The Beginning of Automation Some weeks are about explosive growth. Others are about building the foundation for everything that comes next. This week was definitely the second. Blueberry Muffin Pheno A has officially entered that fascinating transition where vegetative growth begins to merge with the first signs of flowering. The structure is now well established, side branches are reaching confidently toward the canopy, and every day she looks a little less like a seedling and a little more like the productive plant she’s destined to become. One of the biggest milestones this week wasn’t something the plant did… It was something I changed. ⸻ 🤖 Welcome to the AutoPot System This week Pheno A officially moved onto the AutoPot irrigation system. For anyone unfamiliar with it, an AutoPot is a passive watering system that feeds plants from the bottom rather than from the top. Instead of watering every day, a reservoir supplies nutrient solution through tubing to an AquaValve located underneath each pot. The AquaValve is actually the clever part of the entire system. Rather than continuously flooding the tray, it works like a mechanical float valve. As the tray empties and the plant consumes the nutrient solution, the valve automatically opens and refills the tray to a precise level before closing again. No electricity. No timers. No programming. Just simple engineering allowing the plant to decide when it’s ready for another drink. The result is a much more consistent root environment while eliminating daily hand watering. ⸻ 🌱 Learning a New Way to Grow Whenever I introduce a new piece of equipment, I don’t simply install it and hope for the best. I observe. I adapt. I learn. Because the nutrient solution now remains inside a shared reservoir, I also adjusted the feeding program. Some additives that perform wonderfully during hand watering aren’t ideal when they remain sitting in a reservoir for several days. For that reason, Sugar Royal and Power Roots were removed from the reservoir while continuing to use the remaining Plagron nutrients that are perfectly suited for AutoPot cultivation. It’s a small adjustment… …but one that helps keep the nutrient solution cleaner and more stable throughout the week. ⸻ 🌿 Growth Update Blueberry Muffin has responded beautifully. Internode spacing remains tight, the branching continues to develop evenly, and the canopy is beginning to spread naturally without forcing the plant into shape. The side branches that only recently sat beneath the canopy are now confidently pushing upward, creating the framework that should support numerous flowering sites over the coming weeks. The bird’s-eye photographs really show how symmetrical she’s becoming, while the side profiles reveal just how quickly those secondary branches are catching up. It’s one of those moments where you stop looking at individual leaves and start seeing the architecture of the plant itself. ⸻ 🌡️ Environment The room continues running intentionally warm. Day temperatures reached around 31°C while relative humidity averaged approximately 72%. Normally those humidity numbers might raise eyebrows during flowering. However, this is still the very beginning of bloom, where maintaining higher humidity encourages vigorous growth, active transpiration and continued expansion before the flowers begin stacking seriously. As flowering progresses, humidity will gradually be reduced to create a safer environment for dense buds while maintaining an appropriate VPD. Everything is part of the plan. Nothing is accidental. ⸻ 🍽️ Feeding This week’s reservoir was prepared using: • Terra Grow – 1.8 ml/L • Terra Bloom – 1.9 ml/L • Pure Zym – 1 ml/L • Power Buds – 1 ml/L • pH adjusted to approximately 6.05 • EC around 1.83 mS/cm By keeping the solution simple and reservoir-friendly, the AutoPot system can do exactly what it’s designed to do—deliver a consistent nutrient profile every time the AquaValve opens. ⸻ 📸 This Week Behind the Lens The photographs this week tell the story perfectly. Bird’s-eye shots reveal a beautifully balanced canopy beginning to fill its space, while the side views highlight strong vertical development and excellent branch formation. One image captures the AquaValve itself—the tiny mechanical heart of the AutoPot system quietly doing its job. Another shows the reservoir that now feeds the plant automatically, reminding us that successful growing isn’t always about adding complexity. Sometimes it’s about making things simpler. ⸻ 🔍 Looking Ahead Next week should be incredibly exciting. With the AutoPot system now fully active and Blueberry Muffin comfortably settled into automated feeding, I expect vertical growth to accelerate as flowering becomes more established. The coming days should reveal the first real stretch, increased flower development, and an even more defined canopy. The real show is only just beginning. ⸻ 💚 Thank You A huge thank you to everyone following this adventure—from day one supporters to those who have only recently joined.

Heya Growmies, explosion of growth this week, along with it the first signs of flower. as a result I have made the choice to not clone this girl for reversal, and instead just enjoy her in her entirety. she's fully recovered and bounced back now. I would love to see a stretch! Have a good one! https://marshydro.eu/?ref=belgianbudtender Coupon code belgianbudtender

4 clones da minha penúltima colheita Realizei hoje as podas das pipocas q não receberiam luz suficiente, bem como a desfolha para induzir o transporte de carboidratos para o desenvolvimento das flores. Faço essa última poda / desfolha com 21 dias de floração pois nessa fase o desenvolvimento celular cai e aumento o alongamento celular, por conta disso nesse período a planta para de crescer e começa a "encorpar"

Good progress since transition to flower with good stretch this week ,almost catching the ak x bd for height. Just a small amount of lst with regular defoilation to keep lower sites clear.All good 🤞🍁

Starting to see bud formation this week the temperature outside is really high creating good light out temperature around 18c and plants thriving from it been waterd more than usual

Que pasa familia, vamos con la primera semana de floración de estas Papaya Zoap F1 de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, me quede con 3 por espacio, siempre pongo alguna semilla de más por si no abriese alguna por no perder ese hueco del indoor. También se trasplantaron a su maceta definitiva, en este caso de 7 litros. Y también superaron el shock por el trasplante se recuperaron 100%. El ph se controla en 6.2 , la temperatura la tenemos entre 20/22 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El fotoperiodo esta a 12/12 para floración. Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

The progress is real! On the 14th, all seeds had germinated. The difference of 4 days is, for me, unreal. I will keep you guys updated. See you soon

******* Week 7 Flower - October 31 to Nov 6, 2020, Days 43 to 49 ********* This was flush week.......hurry the hell up and flush week!!!!!😃 This strain is an 8 week strain!! She was close to ready at the end of the week, Day 49. Start your flush week 6......I waited for week 7 thinking she would go 9 weeks. Gave them two doses fo Flawless Finish and 10 gallons of water each. Cant do much more than that🤞👍 She is a sticky girl........move any leaves around and you find out just how much😃 These are some nice Freakin looking buds!!!!!! Beautiful colours and so frosty all the way down the fan leaves........so pissed off at myself because I missed her flush timming.....there are some beautiful purples and yellows in this strain that I missed!☹️ Little more detail....... Nov 1/20, Day 44 - Heavy flush day today. - 32L of tap water with 180oom and 5.7pH going into the girls. - runoff numbers for the girls were both pretty close to the same at 185ppm and 6.3pH. - last 3.5L of flush contained Flawless Finish @ 2ml/L. - Decided I do need to use a flushing agent with these girls......they are so close to done now!!!!! Nov 3/20, Day 46 - Another flushing agent watering today. - each girl given roughly 5L mixture of half tap water and half RO water with Flawless Finish at 4ml/L - More than I would normally do but feeling a little desperate at this point!!! - I am almost feeling like C472 is close to pulling now........damn.....I need a couple of more days yet so just going to let more go amber and hopefully she will continue to take the water and flush herself. Nov 6/20, Day 49 - 1L of plain water for each girl. 25ppm and 6.2pH. - we are at the finish line.....just keeping the pot moist right now. - they are ready for darkness anytime now........they are......I am not😂 Looking good Apolo.......Trichomes are lots and smells are plentiful👍 They finishing too damn fast though😀😀 Good problems I guess, wish I cut some clones to run her one more time and stop feed at week 5 flower😞

big leafs , strong and stout. the are doing well so far all together. check ou t the other diaries , more exciting stages .. thanks for visiting.

Hello everyone , Here is the phase of completed stretch, and the fertilizer fertilizer contribution are 100%, flowering starts very well and the appearance of the first pistil are visible everywhere. For the height of the plants I find it reasonable and thus keeping all this world a good size the luminous penetration will be excellent ... until now hene no sign of problem for my plants I think that the flowering will follow its rhythm .. to see in the coming weeks ... now place to photos ...

The girls are settling beautifully into flower 🌿✨ — stretch is in full swing 📈🌳 and bud sites are stacking up everywhere 👀💎. The canopy is lush and even 🍃, catching light perfectly ☀️.No signs of thrips or stress

Den Ladies geht es ganz gut. Sie werden immer hungriger. Das Wachstum läuft gut, ich hoffe das geht so noch in diesem Tempo 1-2 Wochen weiter. Interessant ist, dass die Blackberry und Purple Lemonade eher aussehen wie eine Sativa, und der Hybrid Orange Sherbert bei dem am meisten Sativa drin ist, aussieht wie eine Indica ! Wir werden sehen…. Die Blackberry und Purple Lemonade sind von der Entwicklung ca. 1,5 Wochen voraus. Das Klima ist nach wie vor optimal, sie mögen das Blütelicht wie gesagt sehr gerne. Die aktive Zuluft läuft Konstant während der Beleuchtung. Da die Pflanzen sehr gesund aussehen, werde ich die Düngemenge minimal bis gar nicht korrigieren. Gießintervalle ca. 2,5-3 Tage mit jeweils 2 Liter. LST nur noch vereinzelt, Sie sollen jetzt wachsen, minimal entlaubt
