Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 4 unfolds like a horticultural saga, and my Blackberry Auto stands tall, embracing the essence of growth with an unrivaled fervor. Join me in this chapter of lush greenery, where every leaf and branch tells a tale of meticulous care and bountiful development.
Blackberry Auto continues her magnificent journey, reaching impressive heights. The AutoPot Aquavalve, now a trusted ally, facilitates her insatiable thirst as she drinks with an enthusiasm that mirrors the vitality within. It's a spectacle of growth, a testament to the plant dictating her hydration destiny.
The foliage has evolved into a lush expanse of enormous leaves, each a work of botanical art. These mammoth leaves, reminiscent of a thriving aquatic canopy, are not just solar panels; they are the powerhouse of photosynthesis, fueling the plant's vigor.
A choreography of low-stress training unfolds as I gently bend branches, coaxing them to open their arms to the light. This ballet isn't just about shaping the plant; it's a dance with nature, enhancing light penetration and encouraging lateral growth. The result is a structured beauty that maximizes the potential for robust bud development.
Blackberry Auto, now an arboreal masterpiece, orchestrates a symphony of green. The leaves, like musical notes, dance in the breeze, capturing the essence of the plant's vitality. It's not merely a cultivation effort; it's a collaboration with nature, where each element harmonizes to create a living work of art.
As we traverse into the fourth week, I can't help but anticipate the berry bounty that lies ahead. The plant's stature, the size of the leaves, and the orchestrated branch structure all point towards a promising yield. Blackberry Auto, with each passing day, unravels the potential for a bountiful harvest.
A heartfelt thank you to @fastbuds_official for gifting us this horticultural marvel. To my sponsors, your support is the driving force behind this green journey. Kudos to Grow Diaries for providing the platform to show this botanical saga, and a shoutout to the community for the shared passion that adds depth to our collective cultivation narrative.
As the saga continues, I invite you to witness the unfolding chapters of Blackberry Auto's odyssey. Together, we cultivate not just plants but a shared love for the botanical realm. Stay tuned for the upcoming adventures in this GreenThumb Symphony!
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

2/8 Week 13 !
Her drinking is falling, almost a quart less today.
Moving into flush range as the hairs are beginning to curl and seeing some small showings of amber.
Reducing the Bloom nuets to 5ml until I see its time to change again, increasing PK slightly.
Prob two days then go to full PK (15ml) to take her into flush.
Plan a fast flush with an agent to speed things along.
2/9 Fed 5ml/gal CT Bloom A/B 12ml/gal Peak
Another day
2/10 Leaving feeding as is, building nicely leaving the plant positioned as is think this is the best compromise between all the plants in the tent.
Not sure how long this will go at this point, but not cutting her short for anything.
Pics
2/12 Beginning to back off the PK leaving the CocoTek at a low dose. Plan to have the PK gone in a day or so but leaving the CT until flush.
Just following some new ideas on using PKs and Finishers.
Pics and vid of buds using a couple of filters just trying to show these two foot long buds without messing with the dark cycle.
Hope it helps
2/13 Pics that you can actually see!
Due to some issues, one is on this grow (I need to increase potency on Tara), changing out the HPS for MH for a while, may finish under it depends on the other grow.
Looking at the trics I have decided to drop the PK and go to normal levels of Bloom nuets until flush.
Continuing to keep her cleaned out as much as needed so light gets all the way down.
2/14
Pics of the rearranged tent to end the week,
Realize now how much time switching the lights to 12-12 has added to Tara's finishing time.
Had no real choice but its a point learned.
Happy with her progress

Really thriving to be honest, really fattening up both along stems and in bulk, really impressed with this plant had it down for the weakest at very beginning but has proved to be a really good strong plant. Really looking forward to see this go into the last few week, hopefully gets some nice colours

still growing fast as fuck. i was falling more and more in love with her as time passed. she was showing signs of hunger so i gave her, her first feed of veg nutes on december 5th 2021. I mixed 1/2 tsp to each gallon. I used a bucket with 3 gallons of dechlorinated tap water.
Decmber 8th: same amount of veg to gallons of water with the same 1/2 tsp. phd to 6.4.
December 10th gave her a feed honestly dont know how much. id say about 10-20 cups worth of dechlorinated tap water with 1/2 tsp of veg nutes to 3 gallons.

🌿 Week 4 — Bushy & Thriving! 🌿
#PermanentMarker #ZamnesiaSeeds
The girls really filled out this week — super bushy and thick growth all around! I topped them once and gave them a good defoliation to open things up, as they were getting quite dense.
I bumped the feed up slightly to 600 ppm @ pH 6.0, still running the Aptus Clean Program with R.O. Water Conditioner, Regulator, and All-in-One Liquid. 💧
Raised the Future of Grow Black Series 600 a bit to encourage some stretch before the flip. I’ll be adding an under canopy light (UCL) as soon as it arrives, and later this week I’ll set up a trellis/net for support. The plan is to flip them after week 5.
So far, they’re looking really nice and healthy — one pheno is even showing a bit of color on the tops already. Excited to see how they develop from here! 🚀

Quest'anno si comincia col botto! Come buon proposito dell'anno nuovo mi sono deciso a metter mano ad un vecchio cassone che c'è in casa mia (prima era una base per un acquario). Ora sarà tut'altro >:D
Dopo aver fatto una bella ricerca e raccolta di semi, averli testati e messi alla prova, mi sono finalmente convinto a fare questa benedetta veg box.
L'altro box era un 80x80x160, perfetto per la fioritura. Questo invece è un 60x100x80, un box più slim del mio e sdraiato, riesco a dividere lo spazio per tenere madre e cloni contemporaneamente :)
Per il momento sto ospitando alcune piante di un amico, piante che dovevano avere dimora in un comodo 120x120 ma che ora sono tutte stipate come sardine a casa mia per le prossime settimane. Mi sto prendendo cura di loro: mi assicuro che germoglino per bene (vedi la girl scout cookies e la runtz in serra), trapianto quando necessario, e mi occupo delle mie bambine personali, la banana sherbet e la critical 707. Piccola curiosità: quando mi ha portato le piantine, stavano tutte a 1 settimana di vita, alcune appena germinate, e ho notato che la bruce banner 3 ha prodotto un gemello! Due germogli da un seme! Sono riuscito a dividerli con successo e mi terrò il gemellino sfortunato per cercare di riportarlo in forze.
Al momento ci sono 10 piante in totale: 5 automatiche (tutte del mio amico) e 5(+1) femminizzate (3 mie ,2 del mio amico e 1 in fase di germinazione).
Vorrei provare a fare un clone di Monster Skittlez, visto che ha delle foglie particolarmente strane e arricciate (in inglese si dice "webbed" se non sbaglio)... indagherò!
Saluti a tutti dal caprone

This two were part of another diary and got moved out due to space reasons at VW8 and moved back indoors at VW20
https://growdiaries.com/diaries/218151-auto-god-s-glue-grow-journal-by-yan402
13.09.25 VW21 Both are looking good and are developing tighter nodes than when they were outside, I'm going to have to keep cutting them back every once and a while I also applied nematodes against thrips and fungus gnats.
20.09.25 VW22 some spots and some yellow leafs, I think it's a root problem, probably root bound, but both seem healthy and are getting thicker so maybe just top up with Coco coir and give a slight different nutrient schedule less Tri Part Bloom could do the trick MAYBE lol.
27.09.25 VW23 Topped up the pots with extra coco coir and trimmed the side roots a bit, both plants were root bound 📹
03.10.25 VW23 did a HST/LST session 📹
12.10.25 VW25 Done a major HST session to try and keep them in line with the Sunset Sherbet GF I have going in the same tent, rest in the video 📹
17.10.25 VW25 ffj/fpj/fish 30 → 60 ml
19.10.25 VW26 it just became a one plant diary, keeping #5, #6 gets it's own diary for testing nutrients.
20.10.25 VW26(?) Feed tweak: added 3 g Calcium Nitrate/ 30 L (≈ 15 ppm N + 10 ppm Ca)
24.10.25 VW26 did a defoliation and trimming session 📹
25.10.25 VW26 I'll be repoting tomorrow, 26.10.25 VW27 rest in the video📹
27.10.25 VW27 Epsom Salt 0 → 2.5, Calcium Nitrate 3 → 9 g
01.11.25 VW28 CalMag 60 → 30ml, TriPartBloom 20 → 30ml, Magnesium 2.5 → 3.5g
04.11.25 VW28 no more yellowing between the veins and no new spots, the changes to the schedule worked, rest in the video 📸
09.11.25 VW29 Did what I'm hoping is a last cleanup 🎥
12.11.25 VW13 Did another cleanup in the tent 🎥, also switched to the FERMAKOR PK Micro schedule, (10.11.25) added Phosphoric acid as a pH down in preparation for flowering
14.11.25 FW1 FERMAKOR PK Micros 40 → 50 ml
22.11.25 FW2 Calcium Nitrate 40 g → 35 g
🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱💦🌱

→ balanced 1:1 P:K + light micros (from extract)
💧 Home-made FFJ/FPJ (Fish + Veg):
30 ml
= 1.00 ml/L
Epsom Salt (MgSO₄·7H₂O):
8 g
= 0.27 g/L → 26 ppm Mg + 35 ppm S

→ Fe 0.7 ppm • Mn 0.7 ppm • Zn 0.3 ppm • Cu 0.3 ppm • B 0.1 ppm • Mo 0.02 ppm
Phosphoric Acid (pH down) + Citric Acid (chelation):
→ First set pH with phosphoric acid
→ Add a little citric only if extra chelation is needed

Cookies and Cream is more sativa then expected. The plants were difficult to germinate but since they're growing outside there is no stopping. Flowering is slowly starting to develop. I see many budsites but still small budlets.. ik hope there is enough time this season to finish because this strain is hyping me up
