Welcome to my Black Jack b sponsored by Sweet Seeds 2 yrs ago nearly. Veg Weeks & Pre/Post Pre Flower Weeks 7-9 She was really healthy during her entire veg period. Moving into pre flower she didn't do any excess stretching. Plant was doing very well moving into pre flower it took a good few weeks for her to flip but it was building up a good base up and down the nodes. I used plagron right through half of flowering possibly more. For the last 4 weeks I moved all my plants to Xpert Nutrients. MAINTENANCE I carried out a good bit of work making sure all parts of her was getting light (as much as she didn't get, it was more then enough to get A grade bud just like it was done under a 100w). I stripped a lot of shoots coming into & during pre fower. So when coming in to fattening all her energy went into making buds that were brought to harvest. Knowing light would be an Issue (lack off) i made sure to use all my skills to move energy through a plant. After pre fower was over (plants nodes stop growing up) and I left her a few days for the leaves to take in energy building stigmata. Then I done 10-15% defoliations for mid wk into fattening and beyond until I felt was enough removed (3-4 stages). Now on her last few days I took loads of leaves off to help ripening. She's 95% cloudy and 15% or so Amber. I had to give 10l of water to flush the nutes I had given her. 4l was given and ppm was 650. So I had to give another 6L to get the ppm down to 250 area. 3 days its been under light for 11hrs with 30m of UV-A doses from 65cm away (they are attached to my light IR/UV45) FLOWERING/RIPENING WEEKS Plant moved very nicely through fattening. Buds are lots but whets there is pretty darn good for been at the side of a FC3000 300w light in a 1m2 tent doing many other plants. And this been by far been under the best part of it. It sat on the outskirts as this fem is one of my 1st 5 I started together with 7 autos in phase 1 of my 6 phase crop with 10-15 plants per phase. Took (NUMBER 4 this 1 is). 14 weeks from seed. And she's been through a hard flush. As the last 4.5 weeks she's been on Xpert Nutrients. NUTRIENT GIVEN So I know tats a large list. But as I updated my a lot of weeks into 1. I left on the list what was given. All of plagron was given through most of the grow right through to the middle of fattening and then I switched it (all my plants to Xpert Nutrients bloom nutes). And even then, I normally give more than 2-3 nutrients in 1 feeding 2-3 day window. Its important tat a plant take up these as individual so I typically leave a few days or at least 1-2 water feeds (or low ec feeds such as an enzyme, or calmag to help break down any excess nutrients left behind from last feed) I added my SE5000 and have this 60+cm away just finish off the ripening process. Pant has a good amount of bud. And really like this breeder. What have I been missing out on Sweet Seeds both plants are dreams to grow. Thanks to my sponsors. Xpert Nutrients have given me a gift for you guys. !!DISCOUNT CODE FOR XPERT NUTRIENTS!! CODE FOR 15% OFF & FREE SHIPPING IN EU:GGST !!DISCOUNT CODE FOR XPERT NUTRIENTS!! Much appreciation to Sweet Seeds. Seeds are nearly 2yrs old. I've had them for nearly all that time. They were packaged within a month of me getting them. Shout out to Mars-Hydro for their FC3000 & IR/UC45. Had to break out my SE5000 as nice as this plant is its needs fell short been in a tent with 15 other plants. My se5000 is giving 55k lux (that's the lowest level BTW in my corners I just about got that mid field using my 300w.)

23.2.25: I watered with approximately 1.5 ltrs per plant. I mix 6.5ltrs of dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. This time, I only added Ecothrive Biosys to the water because I have just top dressed the soil. Adding anything extra right now would probably be overkill and result in toxicity from too many available nutrients. I defoliated minimally mostly Do-sì-dos, Watermelon, and Pink Mist. Due to the scrog net, it's about all I can reach 😅 I've moved the plants to increase space for Gorilla Cookies 🍪 and Bubble

Not much to say this week , she’s doing really well, last week I noticed which seemed to be nute burn she didn’t like the 1/2 dose of bites so I’ll go back to 1/4 dose on next feed but last feed I just gave her plain water which was on the 8th, She’s due a feed tomorrow going by the soil and the days since last water , I have also done some defoliation today , removed some of the larger fan leaves which was blocking the lower foliage, I only removed four leaves don’t want to stress her to much , Will up date next Sunday !

Decided to turn on my bloom lights on my Optic 2 Gen 3 LED which incrediblely increased the temp so lucky 🍀 I have a carbon filter from ac infinity “4 and a inline fan from Vivosun which really work great to suck the stagnant hot air out of my 32”x32”x72” tent. Other then that have been feeding these girl Urb& liquid seaweed and they seem to be loving it. Would love to make a compost tea soon.

Hallo Ihr lieben 💚 Woche 2. hat bekommen, die Damen wurden in Ihre 20l Töpfe umgezogen und haben inzwischen wieder Fuß gefasst. Bald werden die kleinen getoppt und dann wird es auch endlich wieder etwas spannender. Ich finde die ersten Wochen vergehen immer sehr langsam. Genießt das tolle Wetter und habt einen guten Start ins Wochenende. ☀️

First few days of flower so nothing much happening. The stretch is in effect and she's going for it. Just a little of the bottom leaves removed for better air flow. Nothing major. Having issues keeping the R.H around 60%· Observed slight water condensation on leaves at lights on. Need to sort that out

Germination week is going great I am looking forward to growing Fast Buds Purple lemonade. I am a fan of fat juicy citrus nugs and being a purple citrus verity just puts the cherry on top. Also looking forward to the fast turn around as they advertise. In my grows I use ONLY organic gardening techniques. No bottle nutrients or synthetics of any sort will be used in this or future grows ✌️🙂

Trimmed a little more & started LST on day 67 with clips, first time using these, I'm pretty happy with them, even bent one stem to HST breaking & the clips supported the break. Runoff PPM is 2828 average, it will only go to 2000 on here.

💫 Week 13 | Flower Week 9 – Heavy, Colorful, and Close to the Finish Line 🌿 The BlueBerry queens are reaching their final act — and what a sight they are. Both phenos are standing (well, trying to stand) under the weight of dense, resinous colas that have turned the tent into a living kaleidoscope of colors. Reds, oranges, yellows, and light greens paint the canopy in true BlueBerry style — a visual symphony of maturity, power, and grace. 🌸 Phenotype Highlights Pheno #1 – A soft, vibrant green tone, frosty and full of balanced structure. Pheno #2 – The colorful rebel. Reds and purples showing up beautifully on the leaves and buds, glistening with trichomes. Unfortunately, she gave us a little reminder of nature’s unpredictability — a touch of bud rot on her main top. We acted fast, cut it clean, and saved the rest. She’s drying beautifully now, and the rest of her canopy is thriving. 🌈 ⚙️ Gear in Action Lighting – ThinkGrow Model One + ICL 3300 working together in perfect harmony. They’ve been driving these girls from seed to bloom, bathing them in full-spectrum beauty from top to bottom. Airflow & Extraction – Two 6-inch fans, one from AeroFan and the other from Spider Farmer, keep the air moving. Each one runs with a carbon filter — clean, quiet, efficient. Environmental Control – Everything under the eye of the TrolMaster ecosystem, including the camera that lets us see and record every sparkle in real time. 🌿 Environment & Growth The summer heat continues to challenge the room, and with it, a bit of foxtailing has appeared — likely from heat stress or humidity. But this is part of the story. The girls are homegrown, full of heart, full of life, and we embrace their uniqueness. 🔮 What to Expect The finish line is near. Trichomes are maturing, colors are deepening, and aromas are thickening. We’re watching them closely to decide when that perfect harvest window opens — probably within a week or two. Next, we’ll focus on "flushing", watching the fade, and preparing the final harvest and drying phase. 💙 Gratitude To everyone following this journey — the lovers, the haters, the curious, the growers, the dreamers, and of course our sponsors — thank you. Every comment, every view, every message keeps the energy flowing. This run has been a reminder that perfection is found in patience and care — and sometimes, even in the challenges. 🎥 Everything is documented in 4K on YouTube — come check it out and see these BlueBerry legends shine in full color. #BlueBerry #Week13 #FlowerWeek9 #GrowDiaries #AptusHolland #Plagron #FutureOfGrow #ThinkGrow #SpiderFarmer #AeroFan #TrolMaster #HomeGrow #GrowWithLove 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Hmmm, I'm growing her right beside a strain from a famous breeder that's nearly 50 bucks a seed (I've grown 3 of those so far, and all 3 hermied, so even the famous breeders apparently aren't stress-testing!) and a Blue Cheese. The Blue Cheese's buds are half the size of the other two plants. So, all in all, this is a raging success. My strain is beating the other two by miles. Hopefully it smokes well...

For Whom the Bell Tolls Greenhouse Seeds The Church CBD 1st May 2020 Another week of Veg down and she's taken fairly well to the topping I gave her. 😃 Nice and tight internodal spacing on this one too I made up a killer brew foliar spray containing Filtered and diluted Aloe vera juice, Worm tea & Compost tea then sprayed all over the plant 💪 This super Dynamic mix will hopefully do wonders for my Plants. Thanks for stopping by 👍

D71/F19 - 11.25 - Got them all defoliated. Everything is looking open, lots of light for the flowers, lots of room to grow and good airflow. I've got a couple co2 bags hanging in there too now. D75/F24 - 11.29 - Responded well to defoliation. Getting chunky! <3
