Nurturing My Cannabis Plants: Balancing Light and Protection In the first half of the day, I place my seedlings on a south-facing windowsill to ensure they catch some light. During the evening hours, they travel back to my balcony. This routine helps them get the light they need while staying safe from pests. Protecting My Plants: A Grower's Dilemma I'm hesitant to leave them outside permanently because, unfortunately, all my other vegetables have been eaten by snails. I certainly don't want the same fate for my precious cannabis plants. For now, they’re enjoying a mix of south windowsill and balcony life, which seems to be working well. First Watering: Preparing for Growth Once the coco mix dries out, they will receive their first feeding. Terra Aquatica Tripart is my nutrient trio of choice. I'll start with a half-dose, as recommended by the feeding chart, to ensure they don’t get nutrient burn. First Feeding: A New Stage My ladies seemed to enjoy their sleepover in the greenhouse. Now it's time for their first feeding. I added Cal-Mag to achieve an EC of 0.5 mS/cm to start with. I gave them a half-dose of nutrients as described in the chart and watered with enough runoff.

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 – 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!

A esta semana le cambiamos radicalmente la soluciΓ³n para que de esta semana en adelante su nutriciΓ³n sea de la misma linia, principalmente para tener un control del PH en la soluciΓ³n nutritiva .

Day 44 repotting into a 5 gallon ( I think in the future I'll do 3 gallons in a 2x2x5 tent unless I'm only doing one or two strains then I might do two 5 gallons ) a nice amount of trimming also added the trellis net Day 46 switched it to 12/12 lights Day 48 taking a whole gallon to feed also added the bloom

Let's talk about our Jealousy girls from Zamnesia Seeds. We have one Jealousy (1) at 15 weeks and another Jealousy (2) at 14 weeks. Jealousy (1), nicknamed 'the first,' has been on a water-only regimen for two weeks now. For the past three days, instead of regular watering, we've been adding ice to her pot to give her a little stress. Meanwhile, Jealousy (2), or 'the second,' is still enjoying her nutrient diet with TDS at 1800 ppm and pH at 6.2. However, Jealousy (1) has started showing signs of yellowing leaves and around 30% of her trichomes have turned brown. We're planning to harvest Jealousy (1) by the end of the week on March 3, 2024. As for Jealousy (2), she's still growing strong!

24 Oct 2021 Week 16 began yesterday, but the first watering of the week was today. I’m keeping up with the flush, starting the 2nd week today. Hopefully I’ll be able to harvest in a few days. My Trio is looking really lovely. Their buds are covered in trichomes that glisten under the lights. They are starting to darken in color in some areas like their mother did. They may take on some pinkish/purple hues before it’s all done. Some of their leaves are turning purple as well. The sugar leaves are somewhat dark, but still green. All three of them are very nice to look at, and their smell is super strong! It’s really nice in my grow room! Yesterday I went out and got some more of those support sticks from the local home store and provided support for all of the branches that needed it. Which was a lot! I got 7 new support sticks and used them all. All of the branches are now supported and flourishing! Today each of my girls received a gallon of properly pH’ed water, and each had a sufficient amount of runoff from which to gather measurements. The process went as follows: C1 & C2 had an initial pH of 6.9, and C3’s initial pH was 6.8. I added .2ml of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH to 6.4 for C1, and 6.3 for C2 and C3. TDS going in was 88 ppm for C1, 86 ppm for C2, and 84 ppm for C3. Runoff measurements were a little weird. The runoff pH for C1 was 5.9. The TDS was (at first) 600 ppm. I thought that was an incredible drop from the other day, so I did it again. It was 603 ppm the second time. Ok, moving along nicely! The runoff for C2 was pH - 5.8, and TDS was 1101 ppm. 😳 That’s a lot more than C1. C3 had a pH of 5.6, and TDS of 1212 ppm. Which is even more; so I measured a little more from C1 again, and the 3rd time it measured 736 ppm. πŸ€” That seems weird to me, but I’ll keep an eye on it. If it continues to be that low then I will end up harvesting it before the others which won’t be so terrible. I’ll just have to wait and see. The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity was 47%. My ladies are looking lovely and growing better than I could have hoped for. This grow has been awesome, but I can’t wait to be done. Happy growing everyone! 27 Oct 2021 Feeding/flushing time again! I was somewhat perplexed the other day when I got the runoff reading for the TDS in C1. It was 500-600 ppm less than C2 & C3 respectively. Since I was having some issues with the TDS meter I thought that IT may be the cause. I made a note to check on it today, and there seems to be no problem with the TDS meter at all. Keep reading for details. My plants are still looking as lovely as I could ever have hoped for! C1 has started showing more color changes than the other 2, and the only thing I can say the difference is, is that I defoliated some of C1’s larger fan leaves last week, and wasn’t able to do the same for the other 2. That is the ONLY thing I can think of that has been different between all 3 plants this entire grow. Regardless, all 3 plants are looking wonderful! Today each of my lovely ladies received a gallon of property pH’ed water with an expected amount of runoff for testing. The preparation went as follows: C1 & C2 had an initial pH of 6.9, and C3 was at 7.0. I added 0.2ml’s of pH DOWN to each gallon which adjusted the pH of all 3 gallons to 6.3. TDS going in for C1 & C2 was 85 ppm, and C3 was 84 ppm. Runoff levels were different for all three plants. C2’s runoff pH was 5.7, and TDS was 1041 ppm. C3’s pH was 5.6, and TDS was 1059 ppm. Last time C1 was significantly lower than the others, and I thought that maybe it was a TDS meter issue. Evidently it wasn’t. C1’s TDS today was 526 ppm! 😳 still much lower than the others, and pretty much ready for harvest. The temperature in the tent was 81F, and humidity was 43%. Although harvest time is much closer, I don’t believe it will be done in time for this month’s grow diary of the month contest. So sad, but that’s life. Happy growing everyone! See you again soon. 29 Oct 2021 Today is the last day of week 16. I was planning on continuing the flush today, but remembered something that I had forgotten about…. I remembered the branch that had broken off of C1 back on October 10th in week 14. She had held on for well over a week in a can of water, but finally her leaves started to droop. I hung it up all by itself in my small tent to dry. Until today that is! I took it outside and trimmed it on my deck. Even outside, in a pleasant breeze, the amazing smell of this branch was easily detected. It’s kind of windy, rainy, and chilly here today, but still …. That sweet blueberry muffin smell was there. Her buds; still covered in the dried, crystallized trichomes were super sticky! I must admit that they are the stickiest buds I have grown to date. I weighed the dry bud to add to the grand total of C1’s harvest later. Then I ground it up and smoked it. All I am going to say is that from my reaction to smoking it; I have decided that no additional flushing is needed. After all, what I smoked today broke right before I started flushing, and I could taste nothing other than what I would hope to taste. So my fellow Growmies; I am ending this week right here. The next report you will see will be the harvest report!! Stay tuned!

Everything is going well , she hasnt lost too much due to my mistake of leaving the lights up higher then I was supposed too . Going to be alternating between voodoo/b52 and Opti A&B/CalMG for feedings I raised up the plant to the appropriate height from the lights now its time to let her go , I've also switched the lights to 12-12 so essentially she will be a 12-12 seed run as a test to see yeild . Thanks to everyone that stops in and checks out the diary . A special thank you goes out to all my followers that stop in daily and weekly to check out the updates you guys are stellar keep rocking on ! -Happy Growing!

Gorilla cookies and cherry cola are both hitting flower hard! The smells are pungent,the buds are sticky and the stems are strong! We’re getting nice fat buds on cherry already and gorilla isn’t too far behind her. They’ve taken very well to the feedings they’ve been given and all training done to them. So far I’m loving both of these strains πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

I fed the Serious Kush with 10 ml of Bio PK for the first time this week. The Mango Lassi is definitely catching up and is a really fast grower. I defoliated the plants on day 21 of flower.
