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.

This weather's been crazy! We've been stuck in this deep freeze for over a week now. The temperature hasn't climbed above freezing for like 10 days – it's brutal out there. And to make things worse, with all this cold, the humidity's been acting weird. It's really hard on the plants, especially without the sun to help them dry out a
Little.
Even though they're a little behind the others, those permanent marker plants are looking good. Being so close to the light must be helping them stack up those buds, so hopefully it's just a matter of time before they really start to shine.

So on 12/14/21 opened tent to find leaves trying to get away from light, TS 3000 is a powerful light, at 24 inches from top of plants at 25% power it caused leaf folding. Adjusted light to 36 inches and dimmed light to 20%. Leaves are turning a darker shade of green and started praying again. Lesson learned know your light or get a watt meter cause 25% was close to 120 watts of LED. 12/15/21watered plants 100ml of water, except one which was still moist. Noticed green coming back strong now the lights at the right height.12/17/21 Plants fully recovered from my light. Looking vibrant green again.12/18/21 Nutrients fed. 12/19/21 plants are growing vigorously now that the conditions are right on.

FLOWERING
First flowering phenomena are visible in the tops of the plants.😜
--------------------------------
GROWTH
The plants are still growing rapidly. To keep the size of the plants somewhat at the same height, I use the following techniques: 😷
1. Removal of the side branches (Defoliation)
-Small plants: I remove almost all side branches. In this way the small plants do not have to spend energy in the growth of side branches.
-Large Plants: I don't remove anything. The plants will put energy into the growth of side branches, so the plants will not grow too fast in height.
-Other plants: I remove the side branches in proportion to the size of the plants.
In the course of the following days, I gradually remove all low side branches!
2. Tying the branches (Low Stress Training)
-The smallest plants grow straight upwards.
-The largest plants are tempered in their growth, afterI have tied them to the plant sticks with the help of plastic plant binders.
On DAY 5 the plants vary in length between 23 and 41 cm
AIR HUMIDITY 😨
When the lights are on, it gets nice and warm in the growing room. To keep the humidity at the desired level, I have two 7.5 liter humidifiers working almost continuously. In less than 24 hours I have to refill them.
As long as the plants do not have real buds, I like high humidity so the plants to keep a low VPD.
--------------------------------
WATER and NUTRITION 😱
Due to the high humidity, I don't have to give that much water. Every 3 days I give 1.25 liters of water per pot. I add 3 tablets of Easy Grow Booster to 10 liters of water. I divide this mixture between the 8 pots. This week I gave 2 x water.

I have to say,,at the beginning of the Apricot Autos journey,,she had multiple tops,,and jumped out of the barriers like lightning,,,my sexy fingers,,managed to snap the top off what appeared to be the leader,,,and she instantly started flowering,,and didn’t stretch out like I thought she might have,,,,so to cut my losses,,I put her in the outdoor garden to finish up

Both of my plants are suffering from nitrogen toxicity so my buds are very small and late flowering.
I know what I’ve done wrong, I have been treating them like soil but I grow in coco so runoff is super important, I just learned that and it’s almost harvest time! Better luck next time I suppose 😂
Next time I will feed them to runoff every time and feed more often!!
Schedule will be light feeding for now on, to avoid toxicity but I will keep an eye out for deficiency’s as well.
This week will be the last four days I give her nutritions. She has like 3-5% amber, and pistils are 65% brown. So a 7-10 days flush will be good I think. I just need the growing space tbh so I need to rush her
Day 94: last data with nutes, i will give her canna flush for 3 days then ph valences water for 5-7 more days
Day 95: just started to flush her! She is slowly getting pink color calyxes haha and the thricomes also turning pink! She smells super nice!
Very sticky plant!!
Can’t wait to harvest her 😍🥦

Tag 77 - Ende der 11. Woche.
Das Ende naht. Die Trichome der Pflanze sehen erntebereit aus. Die Trichome sind zum Großteil trüb und die ersten einzelnen färben sich langsam braun. Ich denke das ist ein guter Zeitpunkt für die Ernte.
In dieser Woche wurde die Pflanze gespült. Dabei habe ich immer 2ml/l Flawless Finish von advanced nutrients zum normalen Wasser hinzugegeben. Dieser Vorgang wurde 5x wiederholt.
Wir beginnen nun mit der 9. Blütenwoche, wobei die Pflanze wie gesagt, die nächsten Tage geerntet wird.
Nährstofflösung:
2 ml/l - Flawless Finish Advanced Nutrients

Flowering week 2 for the bigger plant, all are cuttings of Red Sky I'm growing outside but this one is stinking some crazy smells not sure how to describe burnt rubber? And pine tar?
Best I can say.
Application of L A B this week to feed the microbial communities. Application to leaf surfaces to combat pw (prevent) bud rot.

No defoliation this week, letting her fill out a bit and will do another defoliation next week. Added half strength of big bloom and grow big with about a half liter on each plant since they are in for and so far they seem to have no issues.

3x3 Tent Clones (G-41, Frosted Gelato, Frozay Pie, Black Cherry Gas) - began noticing Ph issues, so ramped up ph test of water with nutrients and ph run off to ensure within acceptable range of 6.5 and 7. Continued watering w/Cal-Mag and SP treatments.
2x4 Tent Seeds (Humboldt Blueberry Cupcake, TH Seeds French Macaron) - began noticing stage 3 Manganese deficiencies on Blueberry Cupcake, so ramped up ph testing of water with nutrients and ph run off to ensure within acceptable range of 6.5 and 7. Continued watering w/Cal-Mag and SP treatments. Continue to monitor to determine whether to cut of keep.
2x2 Tent Autos/Clones (Afgooey Autos and variety of cuttings from above tents) - Day 21 and Afgooey Autos are in flower. 8 of 12 cuttings from 2x4 and 3x3 tents grows rooted. Ph water and applied soil preventive treatment w/recharge on day 6 of week one flower. Defoliated and LST as well on day 6.

This auto ghost of is at day 21 and she has been growing like crazy since she broke the surface. She has the potential to be a real work of art if I can keep her happy. I upped the maxigro to .5 tsp per gallon and started them on a little armor si so they can build some strong branches. Still running them on 24 hour light and 24 hour irrigation. They are going to stay under the blurple lights for a few more weeks until I can get them in the big room under the quantum boards. I'm hoping they will flower around 4 weeks but my autos seem to enjoy staying in veg so we will see what happens.

Start of Week 3
There was 5 inches of growth over the last 7 days. It is a total of 25inches now, when I started flower it was 16 inches. My guess is that it will get to around 32"
I have two sections of plants growing from the same feeding resivour. For the first time ever I've decided to do a mid grow flush.
I ran through 1-2gal of water on each 5 gal bucket. I use only perlite as medium so I figured that I wouldn't need much to flush. It all drained back to the main resivour and I disposed of it. I ran a 24hr cycle of straight PHed tallboy filtered tap water (160ppm) and then drained that again (340ppm).
I refilled the resivour with fresh nutes and PHed again (1100ppm)
