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.

1.Topped them at the 5th node✂️
2.The big fan leaves are overshadowing new growth below, so I lst them downwards to open up the lower growth for better light penetration🌞.
3. Transplanted them into their final pots(5gal/20l) smartpots.
They recovered super quick, within a day they seemed to be doing great👏🏻
4. Snipped some old unnecessary lower fan leaves, they are getting no light at all, and taking up energy more needed at the top.
5. Otherwise all good no issues thus far.🙏

Still on rain water... looks better! Now in 9th week of flowering, I removed almost all big leaves from motherplant. Clones look OK, buds getting bigger and bigger.
2023/04/21 : I vaporized about 0.5g of dried popcorn buds from mother plant. I was high at the begining and stone at the end, I fell asleep watching a movie. The bad news is I found some seeds in these buds : it won't be sinsemilla! 😪

small defoliation.
She is suffering from the light distance being to big. I need to raise her quite a lot more to get a level canopy. Other then that she is doing fine.
Back soon

May 23rd - Day 93 : So intricate moment here. I'm considering harvesting one of the two, but a friend is telling me to wait till it's 20% amber or at least more cloudy. He's an experienced grower and has been of a precious help from the start. This grow is dedicated to my boy Droomba. I'm at week 7 of flowering and Fastbuds says 7 weeks. I'm going to push it for a week or two

En esta actualización se incluyen 2 semanas ya que por trabajo me fue imposible añadir la semana anterior.
El día 15 de Agosto recibió la segunda pulverización de Bacillus Thuringiensis para prevenir el ataque de las orugas.
Sigo alternando riego de agua un día con riego de Ascophillum Nodosum al día siguiente. He dejado de regar con Cannazym.

Day 114. Gorilla Max is totally ready, maybe she would bulk up, but last white pistil went brown at least a week ago. Time to trim. Bud not solid, but kinda hard, bottom all airy and small, but she smells and sticky like hell, so fruity ...
Had to chop her, because got tiered of seeds everywhere, so cleaned my draws and fridge, from 45 found bag seeds started new diary, had to make space for them. Want to try out 12/12 from start and even if i would leave them under natural sun , they would stretch too much in first stage of grow and would repeat that grow patern indoors.
Scissors hash was nice, super soft, hard to roll, all stays on hands.
On this plant found two seeds, maybe some hidden in colas, but its not even close to bad that i was imagining at the beginning.
My watering damage is obvious, Gorilla Max and Bunny were best plants, now - they are smallest... Last weeks very important, till week 5 of flower and that incident they were leaders, overdrying don't work . Hope i will learn this lesson.
Day 120. Last 3 girls are down.
Gorilla Max - 88 g. Of dry bud. Think she and Bunny will be smallest of them all. Buds are airy, but very sticky and all calaxies went pink. So in spliff it looks really funky.
Needed to lolitop them higher, maybe overall look and cola structure would be better then.
Lanky Gorilla is a champ, no doubt. Think this girl should beat 4 ounces easy.
Day 126. So total of all 4 plants is 401. A bit less than was hoping, but target achieved.
Update will follow.

Aug 30: very hot for the Labour Day weekend. Defoliated some upper fan leaves that were growing inward and blocking sunlight. Buds need direct sun to ripen.
Sep 2: heat wave has past but now we have smoke for a couple of days.
Decreased water volume from 9 L/day when it was hot to 5-6 L/day now.

8/5/23 - Day 54 - Last night, a successful water change took place. I've attached a picture of the bucket at the top for reference. While I currently perform manual water changes, I have plans to automate the process using the available hookups. Unfortunately, the unit was shipped quickly, leaving me no time to set up the automatic system before receiving the LEAF box. However, on my next grow, I'll ensure the drain and water inlet are properly connected.
During this current grow, the bucket you see at the top is always connected to the drain as a precautionary measure. I can activate the draining process through the app, and after two cycles, all the water, including the water collected by the dehumidifier, is efficiently removed.
Following the draining process, I fill the box with RO water, and from there, the LEAF box takes over and automatically dispenses the necessary nutrients. This automated system has made the whole process incredibly easy, eliminating any guesswork. I simply empty and fill the water; everything else is expertly handled by the LEAF box.
The flowering stage is progressing exceptionally well. The plant has ceased growing upward, and the buds are now thriving and reaching new heights each day. I find myself eagerly looking into the box daily, excited to witness the changes, especially around 2 pm when I can observe the growth since the morning. It feels like Christmas morning every day!
As always, I'll keep adding daily pictures to document the incredible journey.
8/9/23 - Day 58 - It's been a few days since I have posted. Thats because Shes growing bud like crazy. You can see the plant has focused on growing the buds because the plant has stopped stretching up and started swelling the buds. We have about 3-4 weeks until harvest. This has been the easiest grow of my life. Basically, I add some water to top it off and that's about it. I have been moving some branches down as they start to get a little to close, but other than that not much input from me.

WEEK 5 START OF DAY 28 FROM SEED
THE NUTRIENTS LISTED ARE NOT WHAT I USE. I ONLY LISTED THEM TO GET NOTICED IN SUB CATEGORIES. CORRECT NUTRIENTS LISTED 👇
Transplanted to final 5 gallon pots. Ran into a problem toward the end. I ran out of coco with 2 pots to go. So I will probably do another transplant after going to the store today and getting another bag of coco.
Fed at half strength——
Front Row AG Part A 3.5g per gallon
Front Row AG Part B 2g per gallon
Front Row AG Phoszyme .4g per gallon
Front Row AG Triologic 1ml per gallon
Front Row AG Si .5ml per gallon
Everything went well but my room runs on an auto feed system and if the promix ho will not drain like the pure coco bags so I’m gonna replace tonight.
Thanks for stopping by

They are doing far better than I would have thought but the proof's in the pudding.
Not that smelly except for lights off.

PE will be harvested this week, super excited! Trichomes are just about where I want them, just waiting on a little more amber.
PT is chugging along, looking like she’s going to have some larger buds this time!
WW is still mostly white in her pistils, she will take longer than PE to finish up.
WW in the small tent is looking fantastic, she’s ScrOGed and has been teaching towards the light a bit. Hoping for a big yield off this plant.
BW is still small but she looks like she’s getting nice trichome development.
Should be harvesting almost weekly, super excited to see how much I get from this entire grow. Check individual diaries for more specifics on each plant!
Happy growing! 👩🌾🏼🌱
