Salutations, fellow cultivators! Week 2 unfolds with the grace of a symphony, and the tale of my Blackberry Auto continues to captivate. The journey is both an art and a science, and every green leaf is a brushstroke on the canvas of cultivation. Our heroine has found her throne – a final 16L AutoPot. What makes AutoPots the crown jewel of cultivation, you ask? These self-watering wonders provide a dynamic, gravity-fed watering system, ensuring the plant receives precisely what it needs when it needs it. It's the epitome of hands-off perfection, allowing the plant to dictate its own hydration destiny. Transplant day is a ritual, a moment where roots meet Mycor Mix magic. This mix, a blend of mycorrhizae species, becomes the plant's ally, expanding the root system and fostering nutrient uptake. It's like giving my Blackberry Auto a superhero sidekick, enhancing her abilities and resilience. The transplantation dance continues with the application of Aptus Holland Mycor Mix on the roots and surroundings. This isn't just a transplant; it's a ritual of care. Mycor Mix establishes a symbiotic relationship, unlocking nutrients and fortifying the soil with beneficial microorganisms. It's a small act with profound effects, ensuring my plant's journey is supported at its very foundation. As the pot receives its royal guest, the soil is adorned with 75g of Aptus All-in-One pellets (NPK). This powerhouse blend provides a balanced nutrient feast, a banquet for optimal growth. The soil is further enriched with Aptus Micro Mix, a harmonious supplement that fine-tunes the nutrient symphony, ensuring every note is in perfect balance. Post-transplant, the ritual concludes with a nourishing bath – my Veg Aptus Recipe. This elixir, carefully concocted, ensures a smooth transition for Blackberry Auto. It's not just water; it's a potion that whispers the promise of health, strength, and vitality. The week embraces low-stress training, a dance where leaves are gently bent to shape the plant's architecture. Blackberry Auto, the prima ballerina, responds with joy. This technique not only encourages lateral growth but also maximizes light exposure, orchestrating a symphony of photosynthesis. As I witness this botanical ballet, I'm reminded that cultivation is a dialogue between caretaker and plant. Together, we embark on a journey where each element, from AutoPot elegance to Mycor Mix finesse, plays a vital role. Stay tuned for the continued saga of Blackberry Auto – a story told leaf by leaf, in every graceful twist and turn. Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life

Week 8 Day 58, started flushing with plain tap water, no nutrients. pH 7.1. Experience a heat wave in the week (D58 to 61) which drove temperatures up, extended nyt time to 19 5, but even late evening it rose to 31c ( for upto 2 hrs before dropping to a steady 26c. Heat stress to some of the top fan leaves(curling). Orange hairs slowly! appearing. Very sticky, vanilla cream scent, it's coming upto week 9 D64, not sure if they'll be ready or will need another week longer? However, Not all cream caramels 'look' the same. Smells strong, sweet, vanilla cream

9/25 - Top dressed with 3-9-4 flower girl a couple days ago. It had been 3 weeks since my last feed. Also watered on 9/22 with Fish Shit, CalMag Plus, and Tree Trunk at my usual doses. The plants look amazing. Flowering is such a beautiful process. Can't wait for the next few weeks! I've been doing light defoliation every day to keep top bud sites in the light and also keep airflow going. Lesson learned, 2 plants in a tent this size with the way I train and top is plenty! Otherwise I run out of room! 9/27 - Did some defoliation and lollipopping today. Will likely water tomorrow. 9/28 - Watered today with my usual nutrient combo described in this weekly entry. 9/29 - Plants are SO happy. Leaves are up and praying! Flowers are starting to show a little density too!

Week 4 ( 22/8/23 - 28/8/23)

Not much to say! Girls are continuing to get fatter and packing on the crystals. As soon as the tent opens my house is consumed by the smell of kush, just kinda want to live in there.

Girl Scout Cookies is growing fast and healthy, with big wide indica leaves. Thinking of topping soon but also want to take clones so I’m not sure which one to do first?!

Привет садоводы и огородники !!! Это последняя неделя вегетативного роста крона растения сформирована растение готово к стадии зацветания сегодня я поменял раствор и сделал его чуть крепче PH я отсавил без изменений .как в водопроводной воде PH 6.8-7.0 на нейтральном ph растение хорошо приспособилось .хорошо растет и чувствует себя вроде не плохо продолжу дальше этот эксперимент.

Great addition to the grow room

Day 1: A large root can be seen at the bottom of each cell pot. Filled 3x 3 gallon pots with coco perlite 60/40 mix and transplanted each seedlings into its forever home. Not messing with micro-bacteria and all this time round as the nutes have everything that’s needed, fresh coco and a good feed will be more than enough for these girls. Watered them each with 100ml of water mixed with with a small amount of Velokelp and stuck a bag over each to lock in the humidity. Once the transplanting was over I setup a little DIY drip irrigation system with a 10L reservoir. Feeding schedule will be at 1/4 strength of advise dose as recommend by FastBuds and Remo Nutrients. Set up the timer for the lights and drip irrigation system to kick in tomorrow. The lights will change to 18/6 and drip irrigation will kick in just after lights on. Day 2: Lights turned off for the first time after 24 hour light for the past few days. After 6 hours of darkness the seedling are looking healthy as fuck. The first true leaves are now developed and they’re all bright bright green. Drip irrigation timer did its thing for the first time today and I’m well happy with the result from my little DIY kit, hopefully all runs smoothly with it for the rest of the grow. Day 3: The cotyledons have started praying upwards towards the light. The bags over the top of the plants have a good amount of condensation on the inside so I’ve cut a couple small holes in the top of each bag to let a little air in. Turned drip system off for a couple days to avoid over watering. Day 4: Tiny second set of leaves can be seen in the centre of each plant. Made the air holes on bags bigger to get the ready for them to be removed. Drip system still turned off. Day 5: Drip irrigation system is working as it should and environments holding up so all is good. Plants are looking good and seem fairly well rooted. Removed the bags from the top of each pot and turned on the humidifier and set it to 60%. Only thing left to do on this setup up is get some trays under the pots so they’re not sitting in puddles during the feeds. Day 6: All of the plants first true leaves are praying up to the light and the second sets are starting to properly develop. Really happy with all the seedlings so far. When it comes to autos these seem like the business. Fans turned on today and drip irrigation set back on its timer. Found some old metal grilled shelves that have worked out perfect for trays for the irrigation. Day 7: Second set of leaves are beginning to rise up, another week I reckon and I’ll look into hanging the MH bulb so these girls can explode. Very happy with these seeds so far. Gave them their first foliar spray with a 5ml of Velokelp and 5ml of Magnifical mixed into 1L of water. Turned the oscillating fan up a notch too as I’ve got it set up a fair distance away and I didn’t feel the breeze was catching them enough. Mixed up a new stronger feed this evening so it’s read for the droppers coming in tomorrow.

flowering stage is one of the most enjoyable moments :) 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪

This week has been all about the trichomes! They haven't really started to frost up to this point but I've just been in the tent to get some photos any my god are they sticky! The size and density of the buds on the shorter plant is beyond belief. The scrog net has worked incredibly well creating a thick even canopy. I recommend this technique to any grower including newbies like myself. Final week of full strength nutes. As of next week I'm expecting they will start to fade out a bit. I still think they could mabey go another 2 weeks before starting a flush. Time isn't really a problem for me im happy to let them go on as long as they need to reach full potential. Even at this point regardless of the outcome I'll definitely give this strain another grow. Its soooo easy to grow and the size is phenomenal. Stinks of stomped oranges with a hint of pepper. Wow.

Bud washing is still fairly controversial. I do it because this is a personal crop, i dont have much time or space to toss a plant that might show a bit. Jorge Cervantes does it, so can I! Updates to come!

6/29 I woke with a 100° fever again. All the other symptoms are fading so hopfully all this shit will be done with. I took some pictures and took a video. I was planning on FIMing or topping some of the Sour Moose but I decided to feed instead. The plants don't really look like they need anything which was why I was hesitant. I've fed once and due to the rain I haven't had to water. I fed the photos a pint each of 1tsp Grow Big and 3tsp Big Bloom per gallon. I fed the autos with a pint of 4 tsp per gallon big bloom. I'll check thing out tomorrow and see how it's going. I'm going to need to research autoflowers a little bit more and figure out what I should be doing feed wise if anything. My soil mixture is pretty hot and usually takes photos COMPLETELY through the veg state before showing ANY signs of deficiencies. 6/30 We are supposed to get a heat wave. It was 90° yesterday and it's pretty hot today. I decided to give the girls some water. The bags were still heavy but I wanted to make sure they got what they needed so I mixed up two gallons of water. I gave the clones like a powered bottle each which is 1.75 pints. I gave the rest of the girls half a powerade bottle. The bags were heavy so I didn't want to overdue it. The plants seemed to like the food I gave them. I also decided to FIM one of the Sour Moose. Everything seems to be looking good. I had to go around and tuck some of the branches on the clones under their cage. It went well and it seems like the plants are responding well. 7/1 Another very hot day. It's in the 80's topping at probably 90. Bags seem to be keeping their weight tbough. Normally I would be watering much more but the plants would be far bigger. I noticed two small leaves at the bottom of the 10th planet that have a septoria spot. I quickly exfoliated both bottom leaves that were affected and treated the plant with Plant Doctor at a rate of a half gallon to 1.5 tsp Plant Doctor. The extra 10th planet I checked also had several leaves infected with septoria. That plant was away from the cage and a dwarf so I just pulled it and disposed of it far away in the woods. If after another treatment of plant Doctor I see anything resembling septoria I will cull that one two. It's by far the smallest plant. Substantially smaller than her sisters. I'm not going to fight diseases this year. I went through everything and found a rolled up caterpillar on Rude Girl but luckily I was able to get the tip of the leaf off and dispatch the pillar that tried to escape. I'm hoping the FIM will take on the Sour Moose. Looks like it will. Boy these Autos are flowering like crazy! I watered everything. I mixed up a gallon and I had a half gallon already mixed up. I probably should've held off but everything looked dry despite being heavy. And this time last year I was watering like crazy. I need to research Autos a little more. I know they are significantly different and I'm sure underwatering isn't too good for them but I think they've got enough. 7/2 I held off watering today despite the ridiculously high temperatures. I'd rather underwater than overwater. These aren't like that plants I'm used to having this time of year. I'm used to having trees that are sucking up every little bit of moisture. These plants are significantly smaller and have received TONS of sheet rain prior to this heat spell. Since I watered yesterday (only a gallon and a half and a half gallon on the 10th planet) and the day before I decided against watering them again. Yesterday I just made a small ring around the plants. I've read that it's really easy to overwater autos. I went through everything again and everything LOOKS good. The autos are definately in flower. I'm going to feed when I water. Yesterday Banjo had a branch that looked like it was drooping a little bit but I watered it and now they all look happy. I hope they stay that way. I know it's supposed to be super hot today but I still don't want to over water. I also didn't want to treat the banjo auto with plant doctor. I know those plants are more sensitive and with the ONE spot on a very bottom leaf, I'm hoping that it is just something stupid that I can handle. Especially if I'm careful of how I water and I clean my watering can good. Maybe I'll put some mulch down or something to keep any spores that may be there from splashing up.. I don't know yet. I'll have to think about it. I'm also planning on feeding the autos the next time I water them. I guess it's time to give them a little bit of grow big with the big bloom and the kool bloom. Looking at the recommendation I read it said to feed the autos 2tsp Big Bloom, 1 tsp Grow Big and 1/8 tsp Liquid Kool Bloom. I know these are low does but I'm excited how they respond to the food. It will be nice to have a little early harvest. Even if they aren't real heavy yielders.
