Harvest Report: The Swift Journey of Blackberry Auto
Greetings, fellow cultivators! The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived – the harvest of my Blackberry Auto. This beauty has moved through her life cycle with astonishing speed and grace. Let's take a moment to reflect on her incredible journey from seed to harvest and celebrate the fruits of our labor.
Seed to Sprout: It feels like just yesterday when I planted the tiny seed of Blackberry Auto. Nestled in a Root Riot cube, she sprouted with vigor, her first delicate leaves reaching for the light. The conditions were perfect, with temperatures at a steady 28°C and relative humidity at 95%, creating an ideal environment for her early growth.
Transplanting and Early Growth: As she transitioned to a small pot filled with rich soil and Mycor Mix, Blackberry Auto continued to thrive. The Mycor Mix, with its blend of various mycorrhizae species, worked wonders in enlarging her root system and facilitating nutrient uptake. Her early growth was nothing short of spectacular, setting the stage for the robust plant she would become.
Rapid Vegetative Phase: Blackberry Auto quickly outgrew her initial pot and was soon transplanted into her final home – a 16L AutoPot. This setup allowed her to drink as she pleased, supported by the precise hydration of the AutoPot Aquavalve. With a foundation of Aptus All-in-One Pellets and Mycor Mix Soil, she had everything she needed for explosive growth. Her leaves grew enormous and lush, and her branches spread wide with gentle low-stress training.
Swift Flowering and Stunning Development: Entering the flowering phase, Blackberry Auto didn't slow down. Her buds formed quickly, each one a masterpiece of nature. The colors were a sight to behold – deep purples, vibrant magentas, and hints of dark blue. The aromatic symphony filled the grow room, a testament to her potent genetics and the meticulous care provided.
Natural Brilliance and Final Weeks: Observing her rapid progress, I ceased all feedings to let Blackberry Auto showcase her natural brilliance. Her final weeks were marked by a dazzling display of colors and an incredible pace of bud development. Each day brought new marvels, as her buds swelled and her trichomes sparkled like a constellation.
A Heartfelt Reflection: From the moment she sprouted to her final days of flowering, Blackberry Auto has been a true wonder. Her speed and beauty have exceeded all expectations, and it's hard to believe how quickly she reached this point. This journey has been a testament to the magic of cultivation and the resilience of a well-bred strain.
Acknowledgments and Gratitude: As we celebrate this harvest, I extend my deepest gratitude to @fastbuds_official for creating such a remarkable strain. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your support has been invaluable in nurturing this beauty. A special thank you to Grow Diaries for providing a platform to share this journey, and to the community for your shared passion and camaraderie. 🌱💚
As we move forward, I eagerly anticipate the trim and smoke reports, where we'll dive into the sensory delights of Blackberry Auto. For now, let's revel in the joy of a successful harvest and the extraordinary journey that brought us here.

Growing well. It's now so tall I can't raise the light any further so I've had to pull the ever lengthting main branches over using some wire.
She's drinking like a fish too.
Some of the new leaves are patchy so uppped the nitrogen?!? Could be a mistake.
Some leaves are starting to get trichomes, yay!
Also pulled lots of the lower leaves as they were practically in darkness.

Hello Diary.
Fourth week of flowering and the Hulkberries look great, two more weeks and we will have a harvest. 😎
The branches started to bend from the weight of the flowers, so after taking photos in the box I put wooden sticks to stabilize it.
Hulkberry # 1 which is much more branched than # 2, got three rods because I had to connect almost every branch. At Hulkberry # 2, one rod was enough, and I tied it lightly around with a rope. 💪
The flowers look great and there are a lot of them, on the lower branches they are not so developed, but I expected that considering the shade from the upper branches and the distance of light.
I’m not very great with descriptions, so I have photos that describe it a lot better than I will in words. 😉
Earlier this week I inserted two dehumidifiers that have some gel in them that gradually absorbs moisture, I can’t say anything drastic has happened, the humidity in the air is still higher than I would like at this stage. Two circular fans and a large exhaust fan that I put on maximum is all I can do at the moment. The temperature is also high in the box, it is around 28 degrees but sometimes it rises up to 29 degrees, but genetically they belong to a warmer climate, so it might suit them warmer. They look happy. 😎
As we get closer to the end, I decided this was the last week that they got BioBizz, so from now on they’re just on the water. I also made a little effort to take more photos. How could they not when they are so beautiful. 😍
Let’s take a look at what this week looked like.
02/08/2020 - Day 45.
Watering. This time I watered only with water, I did not add BioBizz food. I still regulated the water at p.H 6.5 with Plagron’s, Lemon Kick. Each time I prepare 7 lit. water and with that I water all three plants evenly.
06/08/2020 - Day 49.
Photographing and watering. Last feeding, I added BioBizz on schedule for week 7. In 7 lit. water I added BioBizz and adjusted p.H to 6.5.
That's all for this week. The plants are beautiful, they smell great and now I can’t wait for the end. See you soon.

Wenn man sie sich so ansieht, hätte der Name twin Tower gut gepasst 🤣 wie es in der Phase der Blüte halt so ist, man gießt und beobachtet und erfreut sich wie jede Woche über den Zuwachs, die wunderschöne Optik, den jetzt diese Woche doch deutlich zunehmenden leckeren Geruch und darüber, das es sonst keine besonderen Vorkommnisse gab 😁 ist meine erst von fast Buds und bin bisher echt begeistert. Das sie etwas länger als gegeben brauchen wird, kommt ganz sicher vom Stress, nachdem entfernen der definitiv falsch gekauften Trainingsclips.

🍦**Grow Report by Zuppler - Week 3 Flowering Phase** 🍦
Yo yo, what’s poppin’? It’s Zuppler back with that grow update straight from the heart of the city, ya feel me? We’re in Week 3 of the flowering phase, and let me tell you, the ladies are lookin’ fresh as hell right now. Everything's running smooth, no stress. The buds are starting to show up like diamonds in the rough, you know what I’m sayin’?
The girls are growing like real queens, standing strong and firm, like they know they’re about to take over the spotlight soon. Nodes are tight, no stretchin’, everything stayin' solid like a real OG. Lights are on that 12/12 cycle, and the nutes are mixin’ in just right – no overfeedin’, no deficiencies, just smooth sailin’, bruh.
Water game is on point too – pH is dialed in, no dry-out drama. Roots are doing their thing, and the ladies are sucking up that H2O like they’re thirsty in the desert. We’re usin‘ that clean and pure Osmosewasser.
So far, everything’s rollin’ as planned. I’m hyped to see how these next few weeks turn out – buds gettin’ fatter, stickier, and that smell’s gonna get even crazier. Stay tuned, yo – Zuppler out.
Peace!

Moin moin meine lieben growmies endlich ich hab auf 12/12 umgestellt und ich darf endlich was machen hab mich schon mega gelangweilt durch das Bio tabs Prinzip ist aber auch bis jetzt durchweg positiv der run Langeweile ja da ich nicht wirklich was zu Tuen hatte in der vegi Phase was ich jetzt nicht schlimm finde die Ergebnisse im vegetativen Wachstum sind enorm das freut mich und jetzt seid dieser Woche ist der stretch endlich da das netzt ist drauf und ich darf endlich mit den Ladys arbeiten die woche verlief eigendlich ganz gut das netzt füllt sich echt rasant hab nur hinten rechts ein kleines Loch was noch mit trieben gefüllt werden muss das wird aber sicherlich noch passieren da ich ja noch mindestens 2 wochen stretch vor mir habe... Anfang der woche haben die Ladys noch reines wasser bekommen und zum ende der woche gab es dann den letzten Mix aus orgatrex und bactrex für die Ladys bis zur blüte woche 4 gibt es jetzt wieder nur noch wasser (ohne Ph Regelung) und ab woche 4 wird compost Tee gebraut 👌👍🤗 ich freue mich schon darauf endlich wieder was interessantes zu machen, etwas neues für mich selber compost Tee ansetzen die woche war ansonsten nicht viel los wie gesagt hier und da mal ein Blatt entfernen was den unteren trieben Licht klaut und alle 2 tage Triebe weben euch allen eine schöne woche cu

31 Aug. I start the third week of my autoflower. The plant is growing well, but I noticed small yellow spots on the leaf tips, which seem like a mild calcium deficiency. This is probably due to the fact that so far I have been giving water with a slightly low pH, around 6, while the ideal range would be 6.5–7.
At the beginning, to lower the ppm of the tap water (which was around 211 ppm), I mixed it with demineralized water. This brought the ppm down to about 109–140, making it harder for the plant to absorb the available calcium. Additionally, the soil I am using, Biobizz Light Mix, is lightly fertilized but does not contain enough calcium to correct this small initial deficiency.
For this week, I will not add any fertilizers. I simply want to raise the pH to 6.5 and use water with higher ppm, so the plant can better absorb the nutrients already present in the soil.
The lamp is positioned about 35–36 cm from the plant and so far there are no burn issues. Temperatures range between 25 and 30 °C depending on the day, while humidity in the room stays between 40–60%. The humidifier is always on because I keep the window open, but the dehumidifier is not being used, as it is not necessary at the moment.
I also have a new oscillating fan arriving to replace the current fixed one, and I’m waiting for a regulable extractor (90–145 m³/h), which will allow me to control the air perfectly during winter if needed.
This week my main goals are:
Increase the water ppm without overdoing it
Adjust the pH to 6.5
Keep observing the plant without adding any fertilizers
Everything else seems fine and growth is regular. With these corrections, I expect the new leaves to grow healthy and free of spots.
==UPDATE 31/08==
To control the calcium deficiency, I will administer an eggshell solution until I reach 300 ppm (I will boil some eggshells and administer the solution in tap water).
==Update 4 Sept==
By mistake, I adjusted the pH twice, once to 7 and once to 8, and obviously the plant immediately showed symptoms of incorrect pH. At the next watering, I'll give Biobizz Grow with a little Biobizz Bloom since the plant has entered pre-flowering. I'll adjust everything to a pH of 6-7 and a ppm of 450-500.
