Hey guys and welcome to start of Week 8! ๐ŸŒป Today is day 21 of flower so i went ahead and cut most of the plats Fanleaves off. It took a while but now the Airmovement is improved and the humidity should also be lower. I also hope I didnโ€˜t stress them too much. From now on they will be reseaving less and less Nitrogen going forward. I hope the colours come through as well ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป Thanks for following along and I will keep updating the progress. Happy growing ๐Ÿ€

Continued growth, feeding every 3 days as soil dries out. Nice growth spurts noted and apical dominance broken via LST as limbs/new growth reach skyward. Minor fan leaf removal to permit light saturation and airflow to lower areas. Getting a little crowded! We will let the canopy grow towards the light another inch or 2 with minor LST adjustments or at 2 weeks from now (which ever happens first,) before we will make the decision to flip to flower cycle. Feeding 3/5 gallon per plant about every 3 days.

Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 5 unfurls like a verdant tapestry, and my Blackberry Auto continues to astonish with her relentless growth and burgeoning beauty. Join me in this chapter of botanical marvels, where every leaf and bud tells a tale of meticulous care and burgeoning potential. Unstoppable Growth and Insatiable Thirst: Blackberry Auto's growth knows no bounds as she reaches for the heavens, drinking voraciously from the AutoPot Aquavalve. The rhythm of her growth is like a symphony, each day bringing new heights and newfound vigor. It's a testament to her vitality and the nurturing environment she thrives in. Enormous Leafs and Branch Bending Mastery: The foliage has evolved into a canopy of gigantic leaves, each a masterpiece of photosynthetic prowess. As I continue to bend branches, opening her arms to the light, the canopy becomes a labyrinth of greenery, optimizing light penetration and promoting lateral growth. It's a dance with nature, where every bend is a stroke of horticultural artistry. Budding Beauty Unveiled: As the first week of flowering (or pre-flowering, depending on interpretation) dawns, Blackberry Auto reveals the promise of her floral bounty. The buds, adorned with an intricate structure, are a sight to behold โ€“ a precursor to the botanical masterpiece that awaits. It's a moment of anticipation, where each bud holds the potential for a harvest of unparalleled quality. Rapid Evolution and Community Gratitude: With each passing day, Blackberry Auto evolves into a botanical marvel, a testament to the magic of cultivation. A heartfelt thank you to @fastbuds_official for bestowing upon us this exquisite strain, a true gem in the world of cannabis genetics. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your support fuels this green journey and enables the flourishing of Blackberry Auto's potential. Kudos to Grow Diaries for providing the platform to document and share this journey, and a shoutout to the community for the camaraderie and shared passion that enriches our collective cultivation experience. 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 forthcoming 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

WEEK 3 OF FLOWERING @Spliffseeds and @Anesiaseeds In the marshydro set-up 4'x4' tent FC-4800 lamp Absolutely awesome grow all strains have there own uniqueness to them some need more then other the Afghani Gold + hyper glue are drinkers ๐Ÿน The rest around same but i am definitely very happy with grow so far.๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป Not really a lot to say but only from what I can see and observe is that the difference between my first grow and this is that they are exploding ๐Ÿคฏ. There in beginning of week 3 but they look like when first grow was in week 4 and half lol . Soil the same nutrients the same but what makes this grow explode is the beast that is the FC-4800 and it's no promotion talk it's just plain truth this marshydro lamps are no joke ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿป I am gone refill the pots with some extra plagron batmix but will add a additional rqs bat guano to the top

7/7 2AM MONDAY Awesome week last week, AMINOS are working better then I cold have imagined!!!! I got a new AC Infinity Germination Propagation system, lights and all. Now I can have a mobile one for the kitchen and veggies..... I never thought I would become a gardener. now I understand how cells work, how it all works... and most information is outdated and inaccurate!!! I should be able to find a mix of human aminos I can use in these plants to overcome heat and salinity AND lower wattage because of increased photosynthesis from application of AMINOS with healthy diet of AN as a base!!!! 725am setting up the new AC Infiniti germination kit or Sith Lord propagation system 145pm BANANA PURPLE PUNCH....JUST SMOKED SOME CUT OFF BOTTOM BRANCH. WAS NOT HARSH..RIGHT OFF THE PLANT AND NOT HARSH. BONG, WATER FILTER BUT NOT TOO BAD. SHE SMELLS SO STRONG AND FRUITY AND FRESH, NOT BAD, SMALL SIZE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IN TASET OR EFFECT. THE AMINOS MUST BE DOING SOMETHING. ALL STALKS ACROSS ALL PLANTS AND 3 DIFFERENT GROWS ARE MUCH STRONGER!!! SMALL 1 GALLON GROWS CAN MAKE STALKS THIN HOWEVER THIS WILL COMPENSATE FOR THAT WITH AMINO, M BLUE, SILICA, FULL STRENTH AN CON 4ML PER L. 7/8 1am THIN STALKS / PROBLEM/RESOLUTION - 1 gallon veg will lead to thinner stalks than tall plants can self support. RESOLUTION: REIFORCMENTS THROUGH AMINOS AND MBLUE. MB & AMINO /NUTRIENTS COMBINATION REACTS WITH NITROGEN DURING VEGETATIVE PERIOD GIVING EXTRA PLASTICITY & STRENGTH TO LEAF SURFACE. ALMOST RUBBER LIKE IN SHINE AND FEEL. STALKS / MAIN AND OFFSHOOTS ARE SIMILAR, THE VERY SMALL AMOUNTS OF SILICA DELIVERED WITH MB/AMINOS/NUTES. WORK TO MASSIVELY INCREASE STRENGTH!!!!! 4X AT LEAST WITH SAME THICKNESS!!!!!!๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ. AND LST WORKING TO ALSO INCREASE BRANCH THICKNESS AND FULLNESS xylem/phloem just awesome ....AROMAS ARE HEAVY AFTER FEEDINGS....I CANT BURN THE LEAF TIPS WITH THIS COMBO. I HAVE TO BUY ALL 18 AMINOS AND DO MILLIGRAM DOSES...I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT YET. YET!! copy and paste title so I can find this again!!!!!!! Amino Acid Transporters in Plants: Identification and Function .....https://www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/9/8/972..... FUNICULUS....FOR HOME SYSTEM THEY NEVER TALK ABOUT PRACTICALITY OR SMELL OR STORAGE....AMINOS AND ORGANICS STINK....FOLAR AMINO SPRAYS WOULD STINK UP THE TENT, THE HOUSE, I DONT SEE HOW A SPRAY WOULD BE A CLEAN SOLUTION. SO AMINOS WILL NOT BE SPRAYED IN A SMALL HOME ENVIRONMENT, TOO DIRTY. 230AM SOLUTION IS TO AMINO THE ROOTBALL. DIFF. CONCENTRATION OF N WILL BURN THO....HMMMM. NOT A PHD..ADVANCED HOBBY. DONT NEED ALL THIS...SO AMINOS ARE ROOT DELIVERED WITH MBLUE 1 DROP PER L. WHICH ONES AND WHEN NEXT. THIS SYSTEM IS FOR FUCKED UP PEOPLE TIRED AND NOT VERY MOBILE....SO EVERYTHING MUST BE PRESTENED EASY TO USE. 305AM....I SMOKED BBP LASNIGHT FULLY GROWN WITH MB AND I DIDNT WAKE UP ANY MORE RETARED THAN USUAL SO ITS GOOD. 545am """A critical review of citrulline malate supplementation and exercise performance...https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8571142/"""". ๐Ÿ‰"to achieve an intake of 10 g of L-citrulline, ingestion of around 3โ€“5 kg of fresh watermelon (highest concentration of all foods) would be required and this is not only impractical for athletes (Davis et al. 2011), but would also not contain a sufficient dose of the malate component."๐Ÿ˜‚ in 2L ๐Ÿ’ฆ: 2 drops Methylene Blue 5 percent, 5 drops Quick Sorb Amino Acid, 1 pill (contents not the gel) Nitric Boost, 0.5ml Rhino Silica, 8mL Con. Bloom A+B, 3ml Big Bud by AN. AND Bud Factor X 4ml.... that might be too much!!!! 10AM.....RESULTS ARE BLOWING MY FUCKING MIND.!!!!!! 2BBB AND 2 GOATS NO BURNS...HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?????? FULL NUTE LOAD!!!!!! I ADDED BUD FACTOR X, I SHOULD SEE BURNS AND CURLS...AND IM NOT!!!!!! TIP TRAIN THE ROOTBALL SYSTEM LIKE A SEPERATE LIFE FORM. WATER QUICKLY & LIGHTLY THE TOP TO ALART THE PLANT OF INCOMING WATER FROM BOTTOM, THIS PULLS WATER UP FIRST, THEN BOTTOM FEED TO KEEP FLOW UPWARD AND CONSISTENT, SLOW POURS WORK. 1020am goat by Royal Queen seeds might be one of the best plants Iโ€™ve ever seen in my life and all of the plants from fast buds to seedsman bubbles blueberry F4 all with the treatment Iโ€™m using are growing and expanding faster than Iโ€™ve ever seen stronger stocks than Iโ€™ve ever seen in no burns. I may have locked in the system that prevents burns and grows in very difficult environments I have not done any flushing, so there is an excessive nutrient and salt buildup in the fertilizer in the soil and weโ€™re still having fantastic results.๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ 7/10 645 gorilla gas F1 has such incredibly strong and BRIGHT GREEN branches, even though they are still thin they are at least twice as strong as before when I was not using all of this Iโ€™m very happy that I can grow thin thatโ€™s fine and self supporting they have to have those two qualities they have to be self supporting if theyโ€™re gonna be thin sheโ€™s so strong and just so vibrant and bright.

The only problem is itโ€™s so incredibly strong even half a milliliter per liter Iโ€™m seeing a little bit of tip burn I have not flushed them out so thereโ€™s salts probably built up but itโ€™s not really doing the damage it normally would. Iโ€™m using methylene blue but Iโ€™m using a generic brand. I donโ€™t want to use the expensive ones from Alex Jones.๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ’ฆ

Week 3 Flower (Bloom Week 3) โ€“ Daily Tasks Evening (Lights On) Check environment (temp 24โ€“27ยฐC, RH 55โ€“60%). Inspect leaves and buds for pests, mold, or deficiencies. Water/feed (depending on medium): balanced bloom nutrients with slightly higher P and K. Ensure good airflow (oscillating fans). Adjust plant training (light defoliation if leaves block bud sites). Check for early signs of stretch finishing. Evening (Before Lights Off) Ensure irrigation is not too late in the cycle to avoid wet medium during dark period. ๐Ÿ‘‰ In Week 3 bloom, the plants are finishing their stretch and starting to put more energy into forming bud sites. Main job is: Setting Scrog net 2layers ,Control environment (VPD, airflow) ,Support the plant with bloom nutrients.

FBT2401 is doing good. I had to dilute out the solution some as it was too strong. She got a little burn, but hopefully it is resolved now. It's still a high tds, but it's lower then it was. She should start making some good grow progress this next week. Her first lst training is comming soon.

23.2. - Watered ๐Ÿ’ง 25.2. - Watered ๐Ÿ’ง 26.2. - Yesterday I've dropped the light lower and it's already doing it's work. Plants got noticeably back to bud development. Gelato plant is just an experiment at this point as that pheno went completely mad ๐Ÿ˜ 27.2. - Watered ๐Ÿ’ง 28.2. - I've cut down the Gelato plant. Unfortunately, it would not yield any decent buds. Rest in peace Gelato 29.2. - Week wrap-up: I'm left with 4 plants. 2 creamatics got their last feeding today, only water for one more week. Two fritters will be feeded at least one more week and then I will reconsider. However, it was fine week as buds got more big and dense ๐Ÿ˜Ž Watered ๐Ÿ’ง 23.2. - 29.2.2024

It's officially week 4 of veg. What a ride! These ladies DO NOT give up and neither did i. Second grow, it is a learning curve. With all the growth stunned, i am a bit impatient. BUT the good news is the smallest have starting growing again. Anyways... ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰19/9 New automation program for this week. (See pictures for app screenshots for automation and datalogger) Temps - 21night/29day RH% - 60RH night / 68RH day My plan is to decrease the humidity at night, to increase the vpd. The same goes for my light output and nutrients. Changing the variables gradually over time. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰20/9 I topped two more plants. The growth is gradually getting better. They should be ready for their first real feed tomorrow. (Only top fed them last watering) ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰21/9 ** First real feed. -They reacted well to a last lose dose top feeding, so this time i will give them a full feed, but same low dose. -Programmed new automation based on VPD Graf (see pictures) Set to 1.0 VPD. // Inkbird app, i am adjusting the RH% to the temp in the tent. -Did some experimental LST on one of the smaller ones. Dont have a co2 meter, but have co2 bag. But it has not been added as a variable to the climate calculations. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰22/9 The new automation program has proven efficient and working(for now). Now its interesting to see the plants adapting the constant VPD. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰23/9 Did some more LST work to keep the tallest ladies at level. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰24/9 Visiting the ladies and checking up on the lst work. Tucking in leaves, plotting my next move. *Water day. they shared 5 Liter, where the bigger ones got more. PH 6.4 - EC 1.52 (Last water was PH 6.4 - EC 1.37) 1.5ml/L Bio heaven+Bio fish. (Next time they will get 2ml/L) ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ‘‰25/9 Turned up the lights from 75% to 100%. Temps are about to rise higher. might as well let the ladies get used to it.

A good week this week. No issues to report and with the cooler temps outside the RH has been easy to control. All 4 plants are now budding and the white rino is looking well on its way. The sour jack is producing a lot of pistils and starting to plump out. As for the 2 autos the lemon skunk is producing small but tight buds with a strong lemon smell. The quarter pound is now starting to bulk up as the bud were big but airy. Id say about half way maybe more for the autos and another 6-8 for the 2 photos until harvest time.

My Purple Punch Auto turned hermaphrodite. Not sure if it was genetics or another issue but definitely bummed out. Harvest was ok besides that but definitely not how I wanted it to go.

Late start to the video journal. Starting at week 7 of flower. I have been noticing some pistols turning yellow. I will keep growing for 3 more weeks. Plants still look healthy to this point. I really expect them to loose this healthy look. Hopefully with this will come some bulking of the buds.

Hi to everyone. DAY 74 -- Happy to say I haven't had any major issues so far this year. Made a video to show the progress and the difference in how the plants look. Some are getting stretched/pulled; while others aren't. All are getting partial shade throughout the day to avoid the heat stress. Am considering full sun now that they are bigger. Count: 50/50 male/female; 6 of each basically from the 12 seedlings.
