The cold is taking a toll, that’s for sure. Still looking decent but I’m sure I’ll get my fight with this one ________________________________________________________________________ Light from @MarsHydroLED 😎 FC-E6500🔥 730 Watt⚡️💥 2.85 μmol/J🔥 Full Spectrum 🌈 WiFi smart connection 😱

Greetings, fellow cultivators! We've officially crossed into the much-anticipated flowering stage with our beloved Cherry Cola Auto, and let me tell you, it's nothing short of a horticultural fiesta! The transformation over the past week has been nothing short of magical, with our once lush bush evolving into a budding beauty. Last week was a game-changer as I bid farewell to the training supports that have guided our Cherry Cola through her bushy phase. Now, she's free to express herself, growing wild and embracing her natural beauty. The transition from veg to flower has been seamless, and I'm witnessing a symphony of bud formation that's simply breathtaking. One of the marvels of autoflowers is their ability to veg and preflower simultaneously. It's like witnessing two acts of a play at the same time – the plant is reaching for the stars while also gearing up for the grand flowering spectacle. Cherry Cola's growth rate is nothing short of impressive, and I find myself in awe of this dynamic phase. With the shift into flowering, I've made some adjustments to our nutrient regimen. The Start Booster has gracefully bowed out, making way for two new players on the stage – P-Boost and Topbooster. P-Boost, a phosphorus booster, is a soluble wonder that not only enhances blooming but also contributes to improved water pH. It's like giving our Cherry Cola a backstage pass to a nutrient orchestra. Meet the New Stars: P-Boost and Topbooster: P-Boost, with its organic acids and phosphorus punch, is playing a vital role in stimulating protein, hormone, and vitamin production. It's a symphony conductor orchestrating the blooming processes. Meanwhile, Topbooster, the dynamic duo partner, is enhancing the flowering response, producing larger fruits with more fibers, resins, and sugars. It's like a magical potion for quality and flavor enhancement. Oh, did I mention that our Cherry Cola looks perfect to my eyes? She's a vision of green excellence, and I'm captivated by the flawless symmetry of her growth. Every day, she inches taller, embracing the flower formation with grace and poise. As we wrap up this Week 1 Flower report, I'm left in amazing of the beauty unfolding before us. Cherry Cola Auto, with her wild growth and budding allure, is a testament to the marvels of cultivation. Stay tuned, green enthusiasts, for the next thrilling installment as the floral overture continues!

Repotted into 20L pots. Accidentally snapped a stem while using plant bends but she will recover nicely so not to worry. Again not enough pictures/videos in early veg unfortunately. EC also upped slightly.

🌱 Week 3 – Transplant Time, Studio Vibes & Root Dreams Grower’s Journal – BlueBerry by Zamnesia Seeds | Entry 004 This week marks a major milestone in our BlueBerry journey, transplant time. Our three beautiful girls have been thriving, and after careful observation, we’ve selected Pheno #1 and Pheno #2 to move forward into their new homes and toward the flowering stage. ⸻ Transplanting into Fabric Pots – Why & How We’ve moved the selected girls into 11L Amnesia fabric pots, and here’s why fabric pots are a grower’s best friend: • Air Pruning: Fabric pots naturally prune roots when they hit the edges, encouraging a dense, fibrous root ball with no circling. • Oxygenation: They allow more airflow to the root zone, supporting microbial activity and preventing anaerobic pockets. • Drainage: Overwatering is much harder—excess water simply flows through. • Temperature Regulation: Fabric helps prevent root overheating, especially important under powerful grow lights. 🧡 These pots create an environment where roots can breathe, explore, and flourish. And that’s the heart of healthy, vigorous growth. ⸻ 🌿 Roots & Selection – What We Saw Before transplanting, we gently lifted the plants to check their roots, and they were absolutely gorgeous. White, fuzzy, and lively, signaling that they were ready to stretch into something bigger. While all three seedlings looked fantastic, BlueBerry #1 and BlueBerry #2 stood out with stronger symmetry, tighter nodes, and a more expressive posture. BlueBerry #3 will stay behind—for now—a backup, just in case. 💫 ⸻ Soil Mix & Nutrient Support We prepped the new pots with a focused super soil mix blended with Aptus Holland amendments: Transplant Mix Includes: • 🌱 Super soil base (organic, airy, compost-rich) • Aptus Mycor-Mix – inoculates roots with powerful mycorrhizal fungi • 🌿 Aptus Micro-Mix – delivers beneficial bacteria to balance the root zone • ⚖️ Aptus Substrate Buffer Powder – stabilizes pH & improves nutrient exchange First Watering Feed Mix (per liter): • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml Strengthens cell walls, improves nutrient flow, and boosts stress resistance (especially post-transplant). • Aptus CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml Helps develop strong structure and leaf formation. • 💧 Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml Balanced macro and micronutrients for baseline support. • 🌾 Aptus Start Booster – 2 ml Stimulates root expansion and early vegetative energy. Water Stats: • pH: 5.83 • EC: 1.01 • Water Temp: 18.5°C ⸻ 🌬️ Environment & Gear Overview Our setup is getting tighter every day: • Lighting: Black Series 600 LED by Future of Grow, full-spectrum, clean white light, perfect for compact, healthy growth. • Ventilation: • 6” Spider Farmer inline fan + (carbon filtered) – controlled by Spider Farmer GGS Controller • 6” TrolMaster AeroFan + (carbon filtered) – linked to the TrolMaster Ecosystem • Why carbon filters? Even at this stage, clean air = clean grow. Carbon filters reduce smells, but more importantly, they help purify the incoming and outgoing air. • Environmental Conditions: • Temp: ~27°C • Humidity: ~57.4% • CO₂: ~632 ppm • Airflow: Gentle, consistent, and perfectly balanced ⚙️ We’re gradually dialing in the TrolMaster system, automating parts of the grow environment, like extraction, CO₂ management, and eventually irrigation. For now, everything is still done by hand-watering, feeding, and loving every single leaf. ⸻ 📸 Studio Time – A Celebration of Beauty This week, the girls got a special treat: a trip to the studio. Their energy, their posture, their color, it all deserved to be captured. Their presence under the soft lights was stunning. These won’t be the last photos we take, we’ll be back again before they outgrow their portability. But for now, these are moments to remember. 💙📷 ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect After Transplant In the next few days: • Some slower above-ground growth is normal, roots are stretching first. • Expect to see a new flush of leaves and stronger stems midweek. • No training yet, just letting them adapt and settle. 🙅‍♂️ What NOT to Expect • No explosive height jumps yet • No flowering signs • No topping until they’re fully recovered This week is about integration, expansion, and ease. ⸻ 🎥 Series Continues – Follow the Rhythm As always, this is part of our ongoing Grow Series, an open diary of everything we do and why.

10.06.2023 RACCOLTO_RED HOT COOKIES Sweet Seeds 🌱 142 giorni dal seme 🌼 70 giorni fioritura ⚖️ 2895 grammi non secchi totale di 4 piante Tutto è andato per il meglio in questa corsa. Le 4 piante di Red hot cookies si sono dimostrate veramente forti. Colori stupendi a fine fioritura, non rossi come speravo, profumo di terra, dolcezza e aspro mescolati con note di gas, un profilo terpenico molto interessante. Lo scrog effettuato da me, non credo abbia dato il massimo potenziale di queste piante, con il tempo migliorerò anche questo aspetto, ma spero di stare su 1 hg a pianta di media. Aggiornamento a breve con peso a secco, foto dei fiori ripuliti e rapporto sulla potenza di questa varietà. Ringrazio tutti quelli che sono passati a vedere il mio diario, a tutti i like i commenti e ai consigli.. un grande love a tutta la community di growdiaries 💚🙏

Hi people! Yes! I transplanted it into a 35 liter pot! and switched to flowering mode 12-12 .. The plant is just huge! this photo was taken immediately after transplanting and LSTb, so the plant is a little sad .. but you can still estimate how well it is developed and healthy .. next week it will appear before you in its full glory!

Hello, everyone. What happened with us this week - we moved our girl to another box because her height is now over 140 cm, and she started hitting the lights. I couldn't take good photos, so here's a video. The issue is that our girl was under the net in the box, and when the net was removed, she started collapsing under the weight of the buds. I ordered supports of 150 cm in height, and when I make our girl presentable, I'll take a lot of photos. We trimmed the leaves and small branches a bit.Take notice, it's the third week of flowering, and our girl is already covered in sugar. I want to wish everyone a good harvest and easy cultivation. Thanks to everyone who watches and reads, and especially those who leave comments, ask questions, and hit the like button. Also, a huge thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron.

Thiis time I wanted to make all same strain kind of grow. Put the seeds directly in the jiffy pellets in the pot to save some extra work. I always used Aptus nutrients but this time I switched to Biobizz since Aptus isn't imported anymore to my country. So we will see how Biobizz works.

The way she grows is very nice I like it the leaves are broad and the smell from her already is just so dam good skunky. The plant being transplanted helped and now she has just took off. I'm starting to do LST and bending her over very hard it's going good so far. The plant can take a lot and I'm loving the genetics can't wait to see how she goes next week ...cheer canna fam

* Starting this week with a final 🍃 defoliation, the plants responded really great after every training (LST, defoliation, lollipoping), eating and drinking like real champs 🏋️‍♀️ 🧗‍♂️. * Humidifier 🌪️ makes a real difference, through low humidity (40%-50%) we achieved better VPD -> more transpiration -> faster growth, the plants enjoying it. * Gemma's crystalize NPK for bloom, collaborates with the others boosters with no problem (reccomend separate mixtures when feeding). ℹ️ You can see the response on the plants after one day --> updated photos ℹ️ Later this week : The plants eating like beasts, watering almost every day, Buds progressing smoothly, Smells too and the canopy is pretty good in this (0.80m ×0.80m ×1.60m tent size) we are impressed with transpiration rate, game changer the humidifier present.
