🌱 Week 3, Day 7 Update: Buds Are Blooming! 🌿 Hey Grow Fam, We're cruising through Week 3, and my girl is really coming on—buds are starting to form, and it's a sight to behold! The girl is growing so fast now, drinking 4.5L a day. She could even do with in-between waterings, in my opinion. She's aiming for the stars and shooting for the moon, getting bigger every day and stinking out my room. I had to tie my light higher up with some rope as it wouldn't go any higher, and shoots were getting way too close! I did SCROG when flipping, and I should've been a bit more strict on it (did it longer), but now I realize why SCROG is used. Imagine if I never used it—she would be way too tall. Overall, I'm so happy with how she is growing and can't wait to see the final product. :) But, as with any journey, we've hit a little bump in the road. Despite keeping our feeding consistent at 850ppm, the runoff readings have been creeping up. Last check-in showed a runoff of 1400ppm. It's got me thinking we might be dealing with a salt buildup in the root zone. To address this, I'm sticking with our feeding routine at 800-850ppm. If the runoff ppm keeps climbing or if our plants start showing signs of nutrient burn, I will adjust accordingly, but as of right now, I'm sticking to the same feed as she looks great! ( If I do begin to notice signs of nutrient burn (excess), I will try to water with a lower EC/PPM, like 700ppms, to bring it down. But if I don't get the results I'm hoping for, I will just flush the plant with 3x the media size of water (just plain pH water) to wash out any old salts and reset the medium. You don't really want to do this with coco depending on what stage your at in flower, veg on the other hand flush.? Sure!, if you really need to reset that medium go for it, (i do see tiny signs of burn but thats fine if it gets worse then i have a problem) Let's stay focused and keep our eyes on the prize—beautiful healthy buds. We've got this! #GrowUpdate #Week3 #BudsBlooming #KeepGrowing 🌱🌿

This week has been one of great gains in both size and vegetation we have seen a vertical leap in two plants that is astronomical almost 4 inches in a week! Had to do some pruning to expose new bud and a little bit of low stress training on to plants to see if we can expose light to the underside and perhaps get a little more love out of our lower buds The stalk size on almost all of these plants is almost as big as your thumb but on one it is actually relatively skinny that is the one we’re doing the low stress training on we just started the low stress training and it is taking very well to it One of these plants is extremely dark in color on the vegetation and has typically about 11 fingers per leaf! Not sure what that means yet

Week 2 Flower Report: Blackberry Auto's Swift Blossoming! Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 2 of flowering marks a significant milestone in the journey of my Blackberry Auto, and let me tell you, this one's moving at lightning speed – the fastest I've ever witnessed in an auto. Let's dive into the unfolding botanical saga and witness the blossoming beauty firsthand. Burgeoning Buds and Floral Symphony: As the second week of flowering commences, the once-timid buds of Blackberry Auto are now burgeoning into floral marvels at an unprecedented pace. Each bud tells a story of promise and potential, with delicate pistils reaching out like fingers, embracing the essence of bloom. Hydration Harmony and Nutrient Nourishment: The AutoPot Aquavalve continues to be a steadfast companion, ensuring the plant's hydration needs are met with precision, crucial for this rapid growth. Coupled with a nutrient regimen tailored to support flowering, Blackberry Auto thrives in a symphony of hydration and nourishment, laying the groundwork for robust bud development. Aromatic Euphoria and Visual Splendor: As the flowers unfurl, they release an aromatic symphony that fills the air with notes of sweetness and delight. Meanwhile, the visual spectacle is equally captivating, with hues of green giving way to vibrant shades of purple and indigo – a testament to the genetic lineage of Blackberry Auto. Tender Care and Gentle Guidance: Amidst the flowering frenzy, I continue to provide tender care and gentle guidance to Blackberry Auto, ensuring she stays on track despite her rapid pace. Low-stress training techniques are employed to ensure optimal light penetration and bud development, shaping the plant's canopy into a tapestry of floral abundance. Anticipation and Gratitude: With each passing day, anticipation grows for the bountiful harvest that lies ahead. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to @fastbuds_official for bestowing upon us this botanical marvel. 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 we embark on the second week of flowering, I invite you to join me in celebrating the beauty and wonder of Blackberry Auto in bloom, moving at a pace that leaves us all in awe. Together, let's revel in the magic of nature's artistry.

This week was amazing to see the growth really start. Felt like a little kid again when observing the first pointy leaves that come through! To think these 9 are going to provide us with the most beautiful, versatile plant on our planet, is just awesome. Eradicating the need to fuel crime by putting money in dealers pockets, and taking full control of the wonders I’ll be inhaling and consuming. They didn’t need much attention day to day, just moving windowsills morning/afternoon, and watering when the soil/pots looked dry. Thankfully haven’t had much trouble with them, although one of the FastBuds original AK’s isn’t looking so great. She’s not as developed as the others as you can see. She’s not received any different treatment or water or anything different at all to the others. Maybe I need to investigate more. I’ve decided to try stay as organic as possible with this grow. With that said, I’ve been brewing up a nettle tea to make a good nitrogen feed for the girls. Nitrogen is said to be needed most during veg stage, so preparing as much as I can.

Welcome back at week 6 in vegetative stage of my Sensi Amnesia feminized by Sensi Seeds. She does great and almost the whole 60x60 space is filled with the 8 new mains. I will give her one more week and a defoliation in a few days. I am amazingly happy with her and can’t wait to start flowering stage. Day 44: defoliation Day 47: I flipped the switch to 12/12 ! Let the flowering begin Keep in touch ! Cheers, HighZenBerg

Plant at the front #3 has had slowed growth but buds are filling out pretty well now, pretty sure she is a Orange sherbet. Back 2 are on week 3 day 17!!! & Are going Awesome, buds stacking up & down every branch! Going to get some really good Cola's of them! They are loving the 730watts!’ of light, back left plant looks like a Tropicana Cookies, going to do some defoliation on her & tie branches down a bit to open up middle of plant to allow more light & air to lower bud sites.

Week 6 Both the jedi juice and inked up cherries have two very different phenos. The inked up cherries 1 has very large buds that smell of candy. Cherries 2 has gotten so dark it's almost black at this point with big white tips. Jedi 1 is the frosiest with smell of minty citrus. Jedi 2 larger yeild than 1 but not as frosty and a fruity funky kind of smell. All very dense. Overall very happy with results so far and glad I cloned them.

Still waiting for trichomes to turn all cloudy. Seems to be taking forever! Many leaves are yellowing now so she is close to the end for sure.

I received my Mars Hydro lights and they helped a lot. 2 TS-1000's. I supper cropped some of the 12/12 from seed and it looks like something trampled through the garden. Lol. The rest are really stretching now. I hope I the larger ones don't get rootbound. 🤞😁😁😁
