Flower Week 6 Day 42 to 48 - 4/29 to 5/5 They both look very healthy this week. The calyx are swelling with maturing hairs, the pistols are orange, the trichomes are mostly white, and the leaves are fading/changing colors - still not ripe enough for me, but flushing with half nute feeds now. Feed this week was another auto pot reservoir flush feed at 400ppm total before add-ins. I used 400ppm of Bloom concentrate mix (recipe week 5). And then, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0). PH balance this week was for 5.8 where I plan to maintain it until harvest. Next week will continue the same half nute feed. I will continue to monitor the signs of trichomes, pistols, and calyx for a better harvest and allow the buds to mature more.

This week marks the end for this beautiful Blueberry what an amazing journey! The buds turned out dense, frosty, and full of deep purple and blue shades, covered in a crazy amount of trichomes that glisten under the light. Most of the trichomes are now milky with around 10–15% amber, just perfect for a balanced and smooth high. The aroma is absolutely delicious strong blueberry sweetness mixed with creamy and earthy tones, getting more intense every single day. During the last week I gave only plain water for the final flush, and the plant faded nicely with beautiful yellow and purple contrasts on the leaves. The structure stayed compact with heavy colas and almost no fluff, showing excellent density for an auto. Harvested at the peak moment for both potency and flavor. Can’t wait to taste it after the dry and cure it’s definitely one of my most beautiful and aromatic plants so far! Made bubble hash from Blueberry trims. Final yield: 6.5 g recovered from the 72 µm and 25 µm bags combined. Steps (what I did): 1. Collected trims gathered all the trimmed material from the Blueberry plants and prepared it for processing. 2. Prepared frozen material chilled/froze the trims so they were ready for the wash. 3. Agitated in ice water agitated the frozen trims in ice water to separate the resin from the plant material. 4. Filtered through bubble bags ran the wash through a set of bubble bags, including the 72 µm and 25 µm bags, to separate the different grades. 5. Recovered resin collected the resin that accumulated in the 72 µm and 25 µm bags. 6. Pressed & dried pressed the collected resin into a ball and dried/allowed it to cure until stable. 7. Weighed final product after drying/curing, weighed the final product: 6.5 g total from the 72 µm + 25 µm fractions. Notes / Observations: • The final texture was [insert your texture e.g., sticky, sandy, crumbly] and the colour was [insert colour e.g., light blond / amber / dark]. • Yield came only from the 72 µm and 25 µm bags; other bag fractions produced negligible amounts this run. Harvested the Blueberry at perfect maturity cloudy trichomes, strong berry terpene profile and very dense flowers. Drying was slow and controlled, keeping the room at 60% RH / ~18°C for optimal preservation of cannabinoids and volatiles. After trimming the buds, I collected all the sugar leaves and small popcorn buds to run a full bubble hash wash using my 5-bag set (220 / 160 / 120 / 73 / 25 μm). I followed a cold wash method using ice + reverse osmosis water, keeping everything near 0–2°C. Gentle agitation only — no beating the material. Yields: • 72–73 μm: main grade — golden, oily, perfect melt • 25 μm: clean sandy resin, great for rosin pressing Total hash yield from this plant: 7 grams. The 73 μm fraction was pressed by hand into a sticky, elastic temple ball and has been curing at 16°C / 55% RH for slow maturation. The smoke from the flowers is incredibly smooth, with a classic Blueberry profile — sweet, creamy, slightly earthy with a berry exhale. Very relaxing and euphoric high, ideal for evening use. Overall, one of my most enjoyable runs so far.

I'm hoping that the weather outside improves soon enough so that I can relocate them to outside. Last night alone had tons of rain and temperatures as low as 8c. Really want to put them out there but it's starting to look like they well be staying in this tent. I'll have to rename this diary if that's the case lol Happy growing everyone.

The girls are coming out of their second topping very well. I will increase their fertilizer going forward as they are taking their current level with flying colors. I was very careful with the identification of my seeds through planting, and yet I am concerned a couple may be mislabeled. I will continue the investigation. lol

Day 56-63 (Day 5F-12F) (Day 6) Water retention is still a big issue in this soil, even with the reduced amendments, loose compaction and added perlite. Pots just aren’t drying out fast enough and I still need to water in enough to reach the bottom. I wish I had some flood trays for this exact reason so I could bottom water instead. (Day 9) I’m going to try running 2 liters of water through each pot until I see a good amount of runoff on each plant. Maybe the nutrient content of the soil is just too high. If this doesn’t work, I got nothing. Plants are drooping like crazy but that’s not surprising as I just flooded them. I’m going to turn on the carbon filter to clear out the humidity a lot faster. Over the next few days I’m going to let the filter suck the life out of this tent until it’s bone dry. If I start seeing deficiencies arise from my minor flush, I will foliar feed some 1-1-1 kelp and some 3-0-0 calmag. I highly doubt I will see any deficiencies but it doesn’t hurt to plan ahead. (Day 11) Ladies responded well to that heavy watering which is a little surprising honestly. The pots are still soaked and super heavy but they seem to be happy. (Day 12) I’m really not seeing any well defined bud sites which is not a good sign at this point. I have never grown under HPS and have never flowered a true 10 week strain so it could just take a little longer in early flower. So far I’m unimpressed

Last feeding with Top Bud at the beggining of the week, and then 2 weeks irrigating only water The Blueberry started yellowing leaves .. And... look at that beautiful chemicals called chemtrails, which are sprayed from the air, penetrating directly in our lungs, plants and soils If someone needs a proof, well, these strange chemicals look like spiderwebs but if you check it closer and you touch it you know it is not made by an animal, ( and i am even more sure when the plant has like 5 or more spiders around making webs,they are completely different ) it is like shaving gel when you touch it . Got no more to say, better watch..( They still processing loool ) Feeding Schedule Added Micro Vita to the soil again, to clean the roots and help the nutrients break WATER / TOP BLOOM + TOP BUD + TOP CANDY / WATER / TOP BLOOM + TOP CANDY / WATER Song of the week : SIRENS | Z1RENZ - Denzel Curry

Day 71 - Day 24 - 9/23 - 24.5" only 1/2" today, I'm taking that as time to do a defoil - I did the defoil, it was quite a bit. Nova enjoyed sleeping in the leaves! - 309ppm @ 6.1 ph, 4000ml runoff was 460ppm @ 5.5ph. - Will start Green Sensation tomorrow. Day 72 - Day 25 - 9/24 - 25" - First day of Green Sensation gave 3ml today along with 2ml cal mag, 2ml bloom and 2ml slf. (not in that order lol) - 334ppm @ 6.0 ph, 2000ml, Runoff is 408 ppm @ 5.8 ph. - Starting to burn, probably from my 400 ppms last week Day 73 - Day 26 - 9/25 - 26" - Same feed as yesterday, 2000ml, runoff 422ppm @ 5.3 ph. - I think I found about her ppm likes LOL low 300s Day 74 - Day 27 - 9/26 - 26.5" - Raised cal mag to 2.5 ml today, seems to be showing a bit of wanting lol. - 2.5ml cal mag, 4ml GS, 3ml bloom. 371ppm @ 5.9ph. 2000ml, runoff is 428ppm @ 5.6ph. Day 75 - Day 28 - 9/27 - 26.5" - increased cal mag to 3ml today. - 455 ppm @ 5.8 ph, 2000ml @ 5.7ph - thought I would try to raise her ppm a bit...we'll see what she says Day 76 - Day 29 - 9/28 - 27" - Same feed as yesterday, 3000ml, runoff 535ppm @ 5.4 ph. - Okay, so she doesn't like me trying to raise the ppm, her ph is even lowering now. I'll go back down Day 77 - Day 30 - 9/29 - 27" - looks like her final height aside from bud growing up lol - 381 ppm @ 6.0 ph. 4000ml Runoff is 458ppm @5.5ph. - I need a lower ppm, will lower cal mag and Flush tomorrow **She had her defoil and she looks really good! Love it, so does my man, Nova LOL. Just enjoyed himself in the leaf fallout. She was starting to have some tips burning, so why i decided to increase cal mag and ppm...i have no idea lol. Whatever, going back to normal now and after my flush tomorrow I'll get her back down to a lower ppm.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. Day 1 we had thunderstorms and rain in the morning followed by sunshine. Day 2 we had rain in the morning followed by sunshine, then thunderstorms that night. Day 3 we had rain and thunderstorms that morning and intermittently throughout the day. Day 4 we had rain in the morning and cloudy until the evening when the sun came out. Day 5 we had rain in the morning then mostly cloudy until the late afternoon. Day 5 we had sunshine and clear skies until the afternoon. Around 4:00 pm a severe thunderstorm hit. It produced strong winds, heavy rain, and grape sized hail. Fortunately the hail lasted only a few minutes and only damages some leaves. Day 6 we had sunshine, but cooler temperatures in the mid 70's. Day 7 we had rain and thunderstorms through the previous night and into the morning. We had sunshine, clear skies, and temperatures in the upper 70's. That was followed by severe thunderstorms, rain, and a touch of hail from 4p.m. to 6p.m. The weather has been challenging this week. Rain everyday or night and lots of it. The rain on night 6 and morning 7 has started turning the hairs of TCA2 top bud brown. There's no softness and I hope it's not the start of rot. These fastbuds have taken a beating from the rain and there's more in the forecast. Other than the rain the buds are starting to smell and grow. Overall it was a successful week.

Probably the most amazing week so far. Plants are showing some exceptional growing rate and first full scent apeared. Simple and steady week regarding feeding. Did 3 days and 500ml per time. Had about 10% runoff with 6,2ph. Till only 3 days ago decided not to top the plants. Since it is the first grow I don’t want to go too complex. And it seems that a good LST will do the work. Found out a way how to tie them down without drilling the holes. Will check how it performs over time. My youngest one is in good week 2. Still keeping it under a 5l plastic water bucket. Slow but strong grow. Turned both my lights to 61%. They seem pretty happy about it as the grow is eye-visible each day.

Day 91 from seed! She's been fed/watered every 4 days (when media is 90% dry) with 2.5 gallons flood-and-drain style of the above listed nutes. Other than that, I have only been plucking the occasional leaf that looks at me funny! :) Next week is flush week! I'll start next week by dragging her into the bathtub, to flow 50 gallons of tap water through the roots. Then she will be on plain tap water(2.5 gallons every 4 days) for two waterings - She should be dry on day 100, and ready for harvest!

Slowly tapered the nutes mainly just watering with 1/8 tsp per gal. of open sesame. Since I'm new I'm compiling everything I've read and making an educated guess at how I am supposed to flush these girls for 2 weeks. But simultaneously never just feeding plain water... What do you guys think? How close are we. Need tips
