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.

Blue gelato 41 took a little work to figure out her likes and dislikes but it was definitely worth the wait , the smoke is smooth and potent as hell,
She seems to need a lot of light, the tops by far and away blow the lower growth out the water, I won't make the mistake of having her in a corner of the tent again knowing her potency and flavour 😎👌💪👍
Enjoy this girl if you give her a try growmies 😎

We did the scrog, it helped us a little more to use as support to tie the branches with threads and manipulate them as we wanted, so we tamed it. but they kept growing as my colleague affirms

From/Desde: 14/07/18 || To/Hasta: 20/07/18
From day/Desde día: 43 || To day/Hasta día: 49
-----WEEK SUMMARY-----
The Lemon is very dense in vegetation, lower Colas are growing very vertical soon i will fix them to the pots to perform a bit of LST. At the end of this week i will perform a topping on the main branch. Also this week i finally found trips everywhere, and how not... white flies. Is the first time i must fight with this creatures, and i wasn't able to erradicate trips with neem and preventives, so i've been hunting them until the end of summer with forceps.
-----SUMARIO SEMANAL-----
La Lemon tiene una vegetación muy densa, las colas inferiores están creciendo muy verticales, así que pronto las ataré al tiesto para darlas un poco de espacio y obtener mayor iluminación general en la planta. Al final de esta semana también le haré topping a la rama principal. También esta semana he encontrado trips y mosca blanca por todas partes. Es la primera vez que he de luchar contra estos bichos y no he sido capaz de erradicar los trips con neem y preventivos, por lo que los he estado cazando hasta final de verano con una pinzas.

Gute Woche für die letzten Tage der vegetativen Phase. In ein paar Tagen sollten sie in die Blüte gehen. hst zeigt den gewünschten Effekt. Alle verzweigen schön. Nachdem 2 automatic-kübel geerntet sind, konnte ich endlich die photoperiodischen neu anordnen, damit sie bessere Standorte, mehr Platz pro Pflanze und nochmal mehr Sonne bekommen fürsletzte Wachstum.
Es läuft prima 👌
Bis nächste Woche ✌️

10/15 Same stuff, just keeping it stable is all I'm trying to do.
Update 10/18 - Heat was ridiculous this week, had to turn one or more light features off, for example, turned off the HPS -AND- the LED circuit on the Phlizon on the hottest day because inside the tent it was like 91 degrees F. Yeah it may not be the perfect environment, but look at the growth from the 15th til today. Major flowering happening, unless I am tripping. I see a lot more healthy growth now, which in my opinion means the transplant idea was SO WORTH IT. I see a lot of crystals forming now and the tops the leaves are turning more white that I could hav imagined -- with two more weeks at least to go, I think I may have some bomb flowers if I dont fuck anything up.
Northern light to the left in video has more to go and is not as far along as the Vanilla Frosting.
10/20 Added some new nutes for the last two weeks of flower, bubbling like a madman wanting this grow to finish. White Widow (three plants outdoors) will probably finish in the tent, its just really in stasis but it is getting some frosting of its own.
BTW when I smelled the flowers yesterday I was blown away by how awesome they smell, like seriously boutique top shelf aromas going on, this is my first grow indoors and really the first time I have been able to give the attention and care these babies need. I have learned SO much. Especially about stuff I was clueless about before. Like which lights are good. What tent size to get. Ph, nutes, watering, relative humidity, cloning... all new stuff. I have become a better gardener as a result and my 200 sq ft community garden plot is doing way better and I expect next year to be bonkers because I really get the whole ecosystem thing now and how mycorrhizae helps everything. This video helped me a ton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID9rE5JewVg&ab_channel=ApogeeInstrumentsInc. and this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq_wl8XRUK4&ab_channel=GrowersNetwork Also, really check out Phlizon lights (CREE COB) if your tent can handle the heat. I am already planning my next grow, and I am going high CDB autos... solomatic and fast eddy.

The first week of flowering is here, and things are finally looking much better!
Both plants have recovered well and are now growing much healthier.🌱
#1 has already started stretching significantly, really picking up speed. It’s exciting to see how quickly it’s developing! Meanwhile.
#2 spent about half the week still in vegetation, but towards the end, I finally spotted the first signs of flowering.
Now that both are officially in bloom, I’m looking forward to seeing how they continue to develop over the next weeks. On to the next phase! 😊

Grandaddy Purple is doing great, the shape is perfect, bud size and stretch is perfect so she will make some big flowers.
The defoliation really works great every time.
Feeding is the same as the others, Bio Flowering Booster, a bit of Bio Grow and SuperVit from RQS.

Ich musste mich etwas nach dem Wetter richten. Der Sommer hat sich etwas Zeit gelassen. Wir hatten hier noch einige kalte Nächte wo man die Damen dann zu viel hin und her räumen müsste. Dazu auch nicht so viel Sonne wie man sich wünscht. Das soll sich aber in der nächsten Zeit ändern. Um den werdenden Ladys bestmögliche Bedingungen im Outdoor-Bereich zu bieten muss man sich leider etwas nach dem Wetter richten. Daher werden die Seeds kommenden Mittwoch in ein Glas Wasser mit Seedbooster Plus von Plagron für 15/16 Stunden eingelegt bevor es zum keimen in die Anzuchttöpfe geht. Wenn alles nach Plan läuft, erblicken die Ladys spätestens Sonntag das Licht der Welt. Dann werden sie für die erste Woche kontrolliert im kleinen Anzuchtzelt angezogen. Spätestens den Sonntag darauf an Tag 7 kommen die jungen Damen in jeweils 11L Stofftöpfe. Die drei Ladys werden dann bis zu den ersten Blüteanzeichen in einem kleinen Gewächshaus Platz finden.
3 Seeds Auto Candy Bubatz XL von DutchPassion wurden in ein Glas mit Wasser und 2 Tropfen Seedbooster von Plagron für ca 15 Stunden eingelegt. Danach ging es für die Seeds in kleine Anzuchttöpfe. Mit einer kleinen Heizmatte unter den Anzuchttöpfen und den Kuppeln auf den Töpfen wird für das warm/feuchte Klima gesorgt, das die Seeds anfangs benötigen um zu keimen. Am Tag an dem die Ladys das Licht der Welt erblicken, kommen die Kuppeln ab und die Ladys spüren dann auch ihre ersten Luftzüge.
Nach 3 Tagen in den Anzuchttöpfen hat eine Lady und nach 4 Tagen haben auch die beiden anderen Ladys das Licht der Welt erblickt.
Das Substratgemisch besteht aus ca 75% BioBizz Lightmix und ca 25% Cocos mit Perliten. Auf das fertige Substratgemisch kommen dann noch ca 5% Megaworm von Plagron.
Angegossen wurde mit 1g/L BioEnhancer und 1ml/L PowerRoots. Der ph-Wert wurde vor dem gießen auf 6.0 korrigiert. Jede Lady bekam für den Anfang ca 30ml in die Anzuchttöpfe.
Möge der Grow beginnen.
