📋 With no information for flower time I'm going to have to guess she will be finished in 45-60 days. I removed quite a few lower nodes that probably won't break through the canopy, they where ideal candidates for clones.

The pineapple auto flower was germinated at the same time as the blueberry. It took some time to catch up, I'm not sure what I did wrong but it's just now starting to show signs of future success. I had a couple other auto strains that all failed to sprout due to my negligence. Update on those, my last seeds seem to have taken when I opten to put them in my outdoor hydro setup for germination. The conditions must be better with the uv from the sun preventing over dampening from being a molds paradise. I don't have the time to watch these all day so this was my best shot.
I noticed some yellowing. Turns out my ph was off because I never calibrated my ph sensor. Fixed everything 10-Jul, hopefully she comes back to vitality soon or the yellow is just light green from the new leaves.. I diluted the nutrient solution down today but only to 1000 from being up to 1200. If nothing changes in a few days I will replace half the current reservoir supply with new ph adjusted water. I don't dechlorinate with a filter but I bubble the water for a day and hit it with uv just for good measure before adding new water.
Update, after researching, it appears this is iron deficiency. Hopefully correcting the ph is enough to prevent the yellowing from continuing. Fingers crossed. Else I need a supplement.
Update July 11, after calibrating my ph monitor and getting back in acceptable range yesterday [I have been shooting for 6.0 or just below] the leaves are becoming more dark green in color and the yellowish color is dissipating. You can see some of the lower leaves have some sort of burn. I am not sure if it is heat damage or caused by ph imbalance but I don't see this on the newer growth.

Flushed with PH'd water (4.5L) to bring EC run off from 2.2 down to 1.9.
Time for another retuck!
This should be the last veg mix before transfering Cindy to the flower tent 😎
UPDATE: Timelapse added for this week.

Day 121 (Day 1st Week 19) and the lady's buds are very clearly packing on weight. She is ready ready for a PK boost again! But if I really have to tell my opinion, I think she doesn't need more P, she's growing very well. On the other hand, a boost won't hurt. It's a pity the high temperatures of summer, she may be really suffering the heat inside the grow room. Luckily prosilicate may help her (as it seems to be) helping on this heat issue. Of course everyday I inspect buds to put those approaching the lights farther. Led lights are too bright and may bleach the precious buds so proximity to lights is the real problem of this current grow.
Day 124 (24/01/2020) Helaas i found an incipient spider mites infestation, this f*cking plague always makes its way into my grow. Because of spider mites I sotpped growing outside. Really, I do hat these nasty animals and I would eradicate forever if it was in my power. I found a few leaves with inequivocal symptoms of spider mite bites, and in the back of the leaves I saw eggs, nymphs and adult forms. I started treatment with neem oil 5 mL/L applied as soil drench. I'll repeat in 5 days. on the other hand it's fortunate that I have seen them and so I can start treatment soon before they take over the entire plant.
1/5 day for PK boost: 0.5 mL/L Prosilicate + 1mL/L CalMax + 0.6 g/L Bloom fertilizer + 0.2g/L Boost (inflow 530 ppm) pH 5.85 (run off 450 ppm)
Day 125 High temperatures again, with the open tent temp is 29.4 ºC inside... Day 2/5 for PK Boost
Day 126 (26 01 2020) PK Boost day 3/5 inflow 550 ppm, run off 530 pmm
Day 127 (27/01/2020) PK boost dat 4/5, luckily it was a cooler day today , i kept the tento closed, and temperatures did not exceed 29 ºC which I consider "normal" for the summer (but I would like lower temps though)

(EN) The plants are in a wooden planter to protect them from strong winds (they remain in their 3.6L pots for now). Watering with clear water on day 21. Some plants have slightly tipped but nothing serious. Meteorological change from day 23, with a drop in temperature and rainy, cloudy and windy weather (but this does not prevent the plants from growing, on the contrary). Watering with root fertilizer at 1mL/L and growth fertilizer at 1mL/L on day 25.
(CAN) Les plants sont dans une jardinière en bois afin de les protéger des vents violents (ils restent pour l’instant dans leur pots de 3,6L). Arrosage à l’eau clair le jour 21. Quelques plants ont légèrement tigé mais rien de grave. Changement météorologique a partir du jour 23, avec une baisse de température et un temps pluvieux, nuageux et venteux (mais cela n’empêche pas les plants de croître, au contraire). Arrosage avec l’engrais racinaire à 1mL/L et l’engrais de croissance a 1mL/L le jour 25.

41F - Seriously putting on some weight now! Pistils are just now starting to turn orange/brown. The un-topped WWBB has a massive main cola, but the topped plants are looking pretty good as well.

Welcome growmies, to the becoming of Amaretto Tarmac. You don't need to ask me twice concerning almonds, amaretto, or marzipan.. 😋 😍
Genetics: Amaretto Sour X Apollo Black Cherry
And OMFGS she turns purple!! 💜
Thanks @SeedstockersOfficial for the beautiful goodie pack!! :squirrel: 💚 💨 Can't wait to grow the new stuff!!
Everybody, if you like, check out the other Seedstockers' new strain I grow here on GD: Terp&Tonic Auto!
https://growdiaries.com/diaries/178026-grow-journal-by-slowpokefuegobud
Thanks @GreenBuzzNutrients for sponsoring your products, I am very happy!! 💚 If anyone wants to give those nutes a try, you find a generous discount code in my setup description! 😙
_______________________________________________________________
Strain description:
Amaretto Tarmac was born from the cross of two varieties with a high pedigree: on the one hand, the tasty American Amaretto Sour; and, on the other, the resinous Apollo Black Cherry. This union results in a sativa-leaning strain that will certainly captivate those users looking for a psychoactivity that is both powerful and energising, and which induces creativity.
This is a 5-star strain whose terpene profile is something incredibly special: the combination of a hot tarmac aroma on a bitter background, along with an Amaretto flavour and a mix of cherry, blueberry, and kola undertones. A truly unique taste that is a must for those with the most demanding palates who are in search of new experiences.
With a relatively short flowering period for an 80% sativa-dominant strain, Amaretto Tarmac will be ready for harvest in just 8 weeks (in late September when grown outdoors). This beauty is also highly decorative as she can express two different types of phenos: one with more greenish tones, and another one with lovely shades of purple.

Both banners still going strong, both fairly pale in comparison to the other plants, I think it's the vigorous growth, need to up feed for them, more nitrogen required maybe or cal mag or both?
Day 38, found preflowers on the big banner in the middle
Day 39 cleaned up the lower half of the plants, removed a lot of growth, the dude that said banner has mad growth certainly wasn't joking 😂😂
Day 40 and 41, continued vigorous growth 💪
