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.

116 days!!!!! and here she is ready to reveal her inner beauty, taste, smell, and effect :)It was an amazing journey with @Weedseedsexpress, the girl was just amazing throughout her growth, she was satisfied with everything I gave her :) This is my first girl with such beautiful colors of leaves and flowers, she is simply unique :) Her smell is so strong that a day after she was cut and now, as I write this comment, I can still smell her aroma in my house, it is amazing, it reminds me of a big "party" :D So thank you @Weedseedsexpress for the opportunity, I will be open to your suggestions in the future - you are amazing :) and now I can't wait to taste her :) then I will provide her dry weight, stay tuned :) good luck to everyone :).

shortest plant is 50cm tallest being 95cm. They are all doing wonderfully, most of autos are budding nicely and all of the photoperiods are ready to flower. looking very promising. i am changing my light schedule to 14-10 to kick these girls into flower.. this will give the plants an extra 17% (or so) a day under the lights.rather than 12-12. i cant be fussy as i only have one grow space but if my research is correct these should grow beautifully! the autos are well ahead so shouldnt affect my harvest weight too much. like i say i cant be fussy! thanks for looking

Seed starting out strong. Sunk in water on day 2 and cracked on day 3 then went into the starter. I'll get her into a small container w/ #4 soil (USA) once she anchors her root. I'll be running nectar for the gods. Using it currently and it works wonders. I started the seed with bloom kaos, it is a kelp extract, kelp and seaweed have large amounts of natural growth hormones. I used it as a soke for the seed and for misting clones with. I use 1/16 of dosage and it really helps.

Week 8 is finally here! We changed up the nutrient feeding to the week 8 on the feed chart.
I am diluting everything at a 50-40% rate to keep EC within acceptable ranges of 0.8 - 1.1 EC.
I started adding Terpinator to the mix and I do notice a significant smell increase vs. without it. I am going to keep using this as I think it is a great supplement. I did figure out that even though on the bottle and on the specific feed chart, it says it is a light formula that will have minimal impact on EC and will not burn your plants at the recommended rates - it will!
First time mixing up my nutrients with terpinator, I had to dilute it because the EC was too high. I put the recommended amount in my mix, and checked EC and low and behold it was high. The next feeding I did a 50% dilution rate and that seemed to be ok if you are diluting your other inputs properly to compensate.
ALWAYS make sure your EC and PH are in check prior to fertigating your plants.
I am watching the trichomes on a daily basis and am looking to harvest sometime this week or next. I plan to dry it in the tent it is growing in as it has AC and good airflow. Once they are done drying, they will get trimmed up, lightly vacuum sealed and stored in the freezer.
Updates will be coming throughout the week!

Just enoying the smell, pollination was successful!
On #6 seeds forming nicely 🙏🏻
Also some weird stretching I'm top buds from accidentally leaving light's on a couple days. But should be good. looks like my efforts to pollinate one branch didn't do so well plenty of seeds to grow out now lower buds look clean of pollen no sign of pollination.
Should start adding weight in next two weeks.

What can I say, this week is going great. The plants are growing flat taps. The heads are slowly but surely fattening up and it starting to get smelly. The liberty haze in particular is a smell queen🤩 it has this insane bubblegum/fruity smell to it.. let's just say I'm starting to fall in love 😍 the tangerine dream on the bottom left is just growing like a absolutely machine and has a nice citrus smell coming through. And its growth has no signs of slowing down any time soon. Looks like it's going to hit the roof if it doesn't slow down🤣The stocky little blue dream #2 is starting to pack on some serious bud size for its age.. the plants not a fan of vertical growth but it looks like it will make up with bud size and structure 👌
Everything has been super mellow, I'm watering at the same PH the only thing added was some humic acid and fish emulsion for a bit of a booster. But otherwise letting them do their thing🤙

Moving on up 🚚💨... the girls get some more space today 🏠, 5 liter pots with some fresh soil, more light and more air to shimmy those leaves... keeping on growing 🌱🌿🌳
The Banana Hammock showing its prowess in the middle of the first picture... looking forward to the coming weeks as I dive head first into some topping, fiming and a whole lotta fun 😅

22/2 - 26/2
The plant entered flowering stage on the 28-Dec-2020 and was chopped down on the 26-Feb-2021. this makes it 60 days of flowering.
After the chopping stage she was placed to dry with a humidifier on 65RH and 22C. I'm planning on doing a dry trim and left everything on the plant besides the stems. this netted me 463Gram of wet weed.
Some of the pictures attached were taken in the night before the chop during the last darkness period.
The video tries to show the complexity of the stems that I have created during the training stage of the plant. She took it like a champ 💪
I will post the final notes of the plant in roughly 3 weeks, after some burping and curing.
Thanks to @james for sending this seeds to me. This grow was awesome and I'm excited to try this plant. the smell is very potent with Citrus notes, and super sticky and full of resin.

It hasn't liked the transplant I thought but i saw roots coming out the bottom. Flushed it and gave it low strength megacrop.
The other one is fimmed and doing great. I think next time im using less perlite and potting soil jist do ororganic coco light organic ferts and use megacrop from there.
Maybe back to organic at end to rid synthetics.
Roit?

Day 29: LST is done. I set the lamp approx 36 cm away. BlackBerry Kush, LSD-25 started flowering. All of them are OK started growing rapidly. 600W LED, 20 hours on 4 hours off the same with ventilation. Water intake: 75 ml per plant plus triggering, humidity around 60 percent. Fertilization is on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with BioBizz family, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday bat guano and Epsom salt.
Day 30: I did LST again. I didn't have enough elastic band yesterday so I bought today and bent them better. I also set the lamp closer approx 34 cm.
Day 31: I did LST yesterday and bent them. They already "lifted up" their heads toward the lamp. As they grow I will keep bending the main stalk and the side ones. I will try to create a spiral form and spread the plants with time.
Day 32: Most of them started flowering except Colorado Cookies. BlackBerry Kush aggressively started floweing. This plant is very strong and aggressive.
Day 35: pre flowers nicely coming along.... Balckbeery Kush and LSD-25 are the quickest. I changed the lamp as it is now really good.... so I placed an other 600W lamp there. I will swap these lamps one week here other week there. I will change that lamp after harvest. End of the week the tallest is BlackBerry Kush with approx 25 cm (I bent them so can't give perfect measurement) and the shortest plant is approx 18 cm.

Nice chunky cola is starting to form, a bit too close to the light but it's looking really great
