ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower the Cal mag has made absolutely no difference too the yellow colour of this blackberry so I suspect it is just how this strain is as meany diary's on here of the same strain are also on the yellow side , but it's certainly not affecting the speed of the growth of her , i also bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , I accidentally bend the main stem last week while I was putting them under the netting too try and control the stretch , luckily it did not crack or snap the branch at all and she didn't droop on that branch at all and has healed already , it may or may not be related but as soon as it happened the side branches thickened up too the thickness of the main stem , this plant has over taken the rest in size even being a full week too 15 days younger , it's certainly not ideal but it really does not appear too have slowed down the growth and may well go in my favour , this lady really did stretch out from week 4 into 5 and is showing no sign of slowing down , her side branches are very thick almost as thick as the main stem , her leaf production was minimal and I have only had too remove very few too expose the bud sites , the yellowing seems too be recovering now and most of the plant is green now , Update , Now gone a lush green colour instead of that horrible yellow , and the buds have already started too purple , she has also stepped up a gear with her nutrient intake almost drinking 6 pints since Thursday , She seems too have slowed down on the stretch and has so meany bud site scattered all over her with as the diary name suggests black roses everywhere , and note too any seed banks reading this if there is not a purple stain out there already called black rose now is your chance lol and Iwant a sample pack first kinda like the tester :) Now defoliation , as you can see they really didn't seem too mind at all being stripped and within a couple of days they had all replenished the lost leaves and even this week olive had to pull the odd few off as they have grown out , Method , well all info now is simple , Anything I cannot tuck under something that is blocking a bid site with shade I remove too middle or bottom , Everything else stays , I just stand above the plant and pull off anything covering the sites , it's really as simple as that , I see some strip them until there is nothing left on but a few sugar leaves , but for me didn't like the look of the plants , for me the growing process is just as much fun as the fruits ,

2/4: Photo session day! The big one is growing a few inches per day..that shit needs to stop soon or I'll have to supercrop her lovely branches.. Soooperunt is now as tall as the second sister, but not as bushy. All three are slow to flower, like the #11's. I had a total infestation of Cattus (felis) which I documented in my photos. Eradication seems impossible, so I'm opting to allow a degree of predation, but hoping trichome production will, at least, deter them soon.😁 2/5: I fed everybody today with about 3/4 gallon each and sprayed them down with Axiom harpin proteins for the last time this run. I made a DIY CO2 generator today using a 5 gallon cat litter bucket, a small aquarium pump, some air line tubing, and a bubble stone, plus 6 cups of sugar and 30 grams of wine yeast in 2 gallons of warm water. I put the tube where the CO2 is exhausted up against the back of the oscillating fan that aims down over the plants so they are being constantly forcefully bombarded with high levels of CO2(1300+ppm) from above. I set the ac infinity controller to allow the temps to climb up to 89f before the fan turns on. 2/6: These girls are a much darker shade of green than anybody else in the garden. I bought some Gro-Pro pot risers to elevate the pots so that they will dry out faster..seem pretty effective. 2/7: I'm only seeing a few pistils popping here and there on these girls. I expected them (and the other mostly indica strains) to be moving along faster at this point. Not sure if they are happy with such a short nap every day.. I foliar fed with big bloom and tiger bloom today. 2/8: I ordered a second 6" AC Infinity fan to connect to my controller, some ducting, and a diffuser which I'll mount to the wall, down near the floor. The fan unit will be in another closet, adjacent to the garden closet, and I'll run ducting up through that closet ceiling into the attic, with a filter on the end to keep bugs and particulates out. For the next 6 weeks or so, it will provide a supply of colder fresh air. I did the math, and it will now only take about 1 minute and 40 seconds to completely exchange the air in the closet. Depending on the outside air temp at the time, it should take anywhere between 8 and 20 minutes for the closet to heat back up to 80f and the fans to kick back on again. This Spring, on days when it's warmer than 72f outside, I'll disconnect the duct in the closet and stretch it into that bedroom, clipped to the window unit air conditioner output, cranked down as low as it will go. This Summer, I'm gonna just run a pair of the quantum boards and grow 4 or 5 autos in there, but this should help keep the temps cooler in summer as well, without dedicating an air conditioner to the grow op.🙏 2/9: I foliar fed them with grow big, big bloom, and tiger bloom and checked moisture in their pots. They're due for a good watering tomorrow.

The flowers have visibly swollen this week. The plant drinks a lot of water, to the point that I have come to give it 2L a day! It is entirely covered in resin as can be seen from the photos taken with the flash and the smell it gives off is extremely intense with a fruity flavour. Now the trichomes are mostly milky white, so from next week I will start the flowless finish for the root wash. I think the plant couldn't have come better than this, I'm extremely satisfied and I really think I'll be able to exceed 200g of final product once dried. Comments?

Day 61 - Into week 9 and back from my little vacation and the wife did good with the girls while I was gone. The girls didn’t need water today but when she dries out, I will be giving her a feeding of nutes. I did a bit of defoliating today and some more leaf tucking. She’s grew up a ton since I left and the buds are looking gorgeous. She’s definitely putting out an awesome smell right now. Day 62 - Nothing new really today, just checked her to ensure she didn’t need water and tucked leaves again. She’s definitely starting to put out a smell of an old wet shoe or something. Day 63 - The end of week 9 and gave her a feeding of nutes today. Fed her with the FoxFarm trio and went to runoff to check the pH. Water going in was 6.7 and coming out easy 6.6 so all is looking good.

9/18: New week...fed with Boomerang and Kangaroots 9/19: Applied Axiom harpin proteins and boomboom spray 9/20: Fed full strength TPS One...decent growth. This strain really likes the Nitrogen..they were starving... 9/21: Tucked a few leaves and took some photos and a video. Looking good. Just a couple more days of 24/0... 9/22: Switched out the 560w of 5000k CCT lighting for 720w of 3000k CCT lighting and set the timer for 12/12. Decided against 13/11 with emerson effect...trying to save a few bucks on electricity. I'm keeping the lights at 30" from the tops for a day or two. 9/23: The girls loved their first night of sleep...so perky!

This week started out by hooking the autopot res up to begin the gravity feeding, the roots have had plenty of time to establish and give the autopot plenty to work with. Ive also topped the plants, and thinned down the huge fan leaves, these were acting like an umbrella keeping light out out. Already new growth is kicking in and the plants are responding really well to the prune and gravity feeding. The rest of this week is all about tlc and recovery, and what i mean by that is ill be leaving them well alone and giving them some privacy along with some peace and quite while they settle back down and recover their injuries 👍

It's worth noting that the yield of this strain turned out to be small, and the buds were loose. Even with expectations set higher, the cultivation result left much to be desired. While the plant started flowering quickly and early, it failed to accumulate significant mass, adding a sense of disappointment to the equation. Confronted with these characteristics, I no longer harbor illusions about autoflowering strains. Though the experience with "Red Mimosa XL Auto" left a bit of disappointment, I've made a decision for myself—no more autoflowers in my future plantings. It's always better to be honest about one's expectations and experiences, even if it means foregoing certain strains in the search for the perfect fit.

November 8th. 39 days post flip Plants continue to grow very well. A lot of fattening has occurred in the last week and I expect even more in this following week. Midweek I have some big 6 and recharge. At this point I likely won’t be providing anything but water until the finish line. My lower leaves have not started to fade yet and so I do not want to overdo it with any nutrients. Smells have intensified a lot in the last week. I smells these things when I wake up in the morning when I go to work. Still not a lot of purpling on the purple marmalades. I can see them starting to turn. I’m hoping lower nighttime temperatures will help They need a defoliation now honestly but I am going to be patient and will not defoliate until day 49. I still need to add those two fans. I just ordered them so will add them in a few days when they arrive. Number 1(Cherry Chunks): This one seems to have the fattest colas. Also appears to be the frostiest so far but number 3 seems to be catching up. Not much on the smells on this one just yet. Earthy so far Number 2(Purple Marmalade): This one is my winner so far. The smells and taste of the Trichomes on this thing are absolutely insane. Candy mixed with guava mixed with watermelon. It is also the tallest and most vigorous plant. I’m confident I could fill this whole tent easily with one of these Number 3(Purple Marmalade): Smells of slight lemon mixed with earth and gas. This one seems like it’s going to be a bit gassy. Not as vigorous as 2 but it is frostier as far as I can tell. Clones: Growing well and really starting to take off! God Bless!! November 9th Update: Hey guys i ended up lying in two category’s. The first one was when I said I was waiting until day 49 to defoliate any more. The fan leaves were getting out of hands so I ended up removing half of them now on day 40. This significantly opened up more bud sites to the lights up top and also increased airflow and lowered my humidity a few percentage points. I did this a little early because they are fattening and I’m concerned about navigating around the buds when they are fatter in 9 days. Trying to mitigate the number of Trichomes I smash up. I also ended up giving some molasses. Want to make sure my microbes are happy and figured the potassium boost will help the flowering. As always, thank you guys and god bless!
