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.

DAY 50
Watered with 1/2 teaspoon of molasses (and Epsom) in 2 litres of water. 💧
I am actually probably being a helicopter parent... 🚁 flap flap flap.. 😅 The buds fill up nicely.
I will give her a slight feeding next time. Good thing about the small container is, you can adjust the nutes every 3 days. 😜 Princess Cherry Cola, at your command! :kneel: :bythepowerofgrayskull!:
DAY 53
Watered with Biobizz nutes. 💧I always do 2L and stop when I see runoff.
TS1000 still magnificently shining, dimmed to 90% at 40cm distance. 💡
Day 54 I turned the LED down to 75% due to massive damages on the leaves. 😬 Dang!!!
These autoflowers get a lot of DPI when the lights are running 18h, I think that I really need to adjust my nutes in the future.
So first I had a toxicity, then I ran into deficiency. All my fault.
Now the girl is looking fine, trichome production is in full progress and I can't wait to see what the buds will do now. 😍 🐽
As for the feeding, I will go for a 100% Biobizz Allmix Schedule (soft) for flowering week 5/6 with 3ml/L bloom nutes and raise Calmag a bit.
This is a learning experience, phew. 😅
🍒 ❤️ 🍒 ❤️ 🍒 ❤️
Have a wonderful week! 😘

Growing feminized seeds from White Label Seed Company is an affordable and easy method of obtaining a high quality harvest. White Label was the first company associated with the Sensi gene-bank to make feminized varieties available to the public. As the popularity of growing feminized cannabis has grown, the number of White Label feminized varieties has increased to keep pace with the demand.
Starting to add some enzymes and some nutrients with the roots booster.
Giving more place for the plants to grow, adding the MH to increase light coverage.
Plants started to grow, it’s nearly the time to transplant into bigger pots. Pots gets lightweight faster, and need to get water more often, but feeding and adding nutrients to the water only once a week, at this stage, is enough !
(I’m looking for a job in the Cannabis industry as Master Grower, Mineralogist, Quality Control)

Day 60F
The PM on the cheese has gotten significantly worse in the last few days. I think it may have something to do with the constant humidity spikes every time I water. I haven’t been running my humidifier at all in flower so maybe it’s having trouble keeping the RH up during lights on. Just another reason to follow a daily watering schedule. The cheese and slurricane look fucking disgusting and I’m starting to doubt that a peroxide wash can totally fix it. It worked well for my outdoor crop so it should be fine but this time there is probably 3x the amount. I’ll make sure to really soak the buds and rinse them off good.
Bbb#1 is flopping over like crazy from the weight. Too late to stake it up now so hopefully it holds until next week. Starting to foxtail a bit but nothing too bad. It is now 100% done and ready for chop.
Bbb#2 is just getting frostier and frostier by the day. The purple fade is really coming along nicely too. Might reveg. It is now 100% done and ready for harvest.
Black garlic #1 is finally filling out! I can’t believe it. Never heard of a plant packing weight on like that in week 8. The breeder did mention that it packs on weight later but I’m stunned. Taking her to 9.5 weeks.
Black garlic #2 is looking very average. Average color, average size buds, average frost, average smell, probably an average yield. And it’s starting to get a bit of PM. Overall not happy. Will be taking her to 9.5 weeks.
Zkittlez #1 has pleasantly surprised me. It was a bushy runt in veg but came through. It’s the third frostiest in the tent, super dense, stacked tight, smells great and looks great. It’s already got a nice amount of amber so it’s 100% ready for chop.
Slurricane #4 looks insanely frosty even under all that PM. If I can’t wash it off it’s going in the trash. I want to chop this asap but have to cut everything at once unfortunately. It’s 100% ready for harvest.
Badazz OG cheese is looking like a decent yielder but doesn’t have much else going for it. I think it still has some filling out to do. I can’t even smell the final profile change yet. The leaves are rotting off very quickly. Taking her 9.5 weeks.
I don’t mind harvesting a bit later rather than early. From my outdoor experience, when a plant is picked early it smells like hay and wet grass clippings until it’s been curing for 3 weeks. When I harvest late or at 30-50% amber trichomes it smells like same scent profile it had when growing. Just my experience.
I’ve read that the tobacco industry adds calcium and potassium carbonate to their crops to help promote fire holding capacity and to increase the whiteness of ash. Turns out some of the organic amendments I bought last week contain exactly that. I’m going to give each plant a light top dress to see if the tobacco industry is onto something.

Week 9 – Day 65 (Flower Day 35)
🔄 Recap
One of those weeks where everything just works 😎
BioBizz pH+ is finally doing its job:
📈 I’m now able to raise the drain pH by around 0.1–0.2 points – definitely an improvement over Canna pH+.
Other than that, it’s all about the usual routine: watering, observing, and enjoying the view 🙌
🌿 Plant Status – White Widow
📏 Height: 110 cm – stretch is done
❄️ Buds are now visibly starting to frost up
💪 She’s looking healthy and strong – no issues at all

All photos are from the last day of week 3.
This week we had some problems with the temperatures, not to mention the broken fan.
We solved the problem by removing the power supply from the Lumatek ats 300w pro lamp and taking it outside the tent.
Everything seems to be fine even if there are some yellowish leaves.

12/28/2023: soaked my Peat Pellet in distilled water, mixed with a dash of Rootwise Mycrobe Complete, and planted the seed directly into it. Put into my 2x4 tent, which is currently running 20 hours on a 4 hours off. Temps are about 82° F when lights are on with an averge RH between 80% and 85%.
12/31/2023: She finally sprouted today! In order minimize any transplant stress, I added her to the 10 gallon pot of BuildASoil 3.0 today, and sprinkled some OptiVeg and Dynomyco into the hole. Gave her a very light watering, since I watered the pot pretty heavily a few days ago, when I planted my cover crop. So, there should be enough water for a while.

Weather was better than before. A couple of sunny and warmer days.
Installed the lights with the timer in order to support a 16/8 light cycle with a 1 minute burst of light every two hours at night.
Mid week i transplanted them, super happy about that. Cover crop looks great. The placeholder pots have been filled with horsetail, alfalfa, bokashi and worms. Cleared them out to use it as mulch on top. Watered them in with fresh brewed vermicompost tea.
The Jamaican Dream CBD will later move into the garden, so the roots can connect with the soil through the bottom of the bag.
Plants looking great by the end of week, but still in flower.... started a new run for back up and a friend of mine would give me some very nice seedlings and clones if things go wrong.

Now we are in week 8.
Plants stopped growing.
I will let them grow two more weeks and then I will at least harvest two of them.
Depending on the trichomes I will keep the other two for 4-5 weeks more, because I will be away ... traveling
lets hope that the sun is coming out again and that the buds get bigger and bigger in the last two weeks.
BTW I stopped giving any type of nutrients, just water.

It was interesting, my first growing from beans.
I knew this is a strain that stretches, but I never expected 150cm of girls.
Incredibly resistant, during the whole vegetative phase I did High Stress training mistreating them but without scratching them
I did schwazze defoliation to counteract the heat and too much humidity but the girls continued bulking, really strong!
First experience with co2 from the next diary everything will be documented.
Goal set at 500g ... let's see at the end of the treatment ...
Keep it growing gromies 🍀🍀🍀
