7/7 17 days old. Calling this her first week of veg. She did not appear to be growing much for a few days after being transplanted. However in the last couple of days she has been putting on height. Now that she is growing again it seemed like a good time to top her. Topped her at the fifth node. A few of my previous grows I topped at the single leaves. This gave me two main branches that I just tied down. Then let all the branches grow up. Gave me a very uniform plant. 7/9 She has a very healthy dark green color. Her branches almost immediately started growing after being topped. I can see the difference in 2 days. Her nodes are very close together. 7/10. This lady has huge tits/leaves. Her leaves are so big they’re blocking out the light for the branches. I used some coat hanger to pull the leaves out of the way. Really her leaves are huge for her age. They’re almost the size of my hands and I’m 6,3. I pulled 1 leaf off to help open her up some. I will do some reading on this strain. I believe as she gets older she will look more sativa. Right now she looks heavy indica. 7/11 She broke ground 21 days ago. She graduated into veg 4 days ago. This plant is growing very nicely. 7/14 25 days old. Gave her water with liquid kelp. Her branches are quickly growing to the top. Would love to do some defoliation but I’m not. Other than a few 3 blade leaves in the center. Absolutely love her dark green color. So far the living soil is doing a great job. The company says just water. We will see. Ethos Genetics is top shelf. My friend grows mostly Ethos and these plants are just amazing. I was hunting for old school so I didn’t grow any Ethos until now. Old school is gone. I have never saw buds like these Ethos. This plant needs to come out close to or better than my friends. She is growing in organic living soil and her color is great. The only thing I added was myco supreme on her roots. The next time I water her she will get some liquid kelp and humic acid. The plant is relying on the living soil to eat. So I want to make sure her root system is very healthy and able to process nutrients.

This ladies got pretty big for real, hands down the biggest autos I've ever had grown in 7l pots, excellent performance, and the flowers start to stink really strong, there is one pheno which is more developed than the other 2 phenos but the 3 have developed really good and they are producing a lot of sticky and stinky trichomes! Let's see how this will end up! Can't wait 🤤

Start of week 2 flowering. This girl is hungrier than her round 1 sister. Probably because of the extra veg time, she has developed more root and plant mass that needs more nutrients. The plant itself is growing nicely, stretching a little and filling out.

Check out our video!! This week was week one, transplanting 3 cuttings into the Octopots with Grids/Liners. This is our first Research & Development grow here this year! Will the Lil' Girl take off? Maybe the Middle Child is strongest after all?! Or does maturity win it in the end for Big Sis? Come along with us while we have fun learning and testing theories!

🌸 Week 2 Flower – BlueBerry Diaries Continue Grower’s Journal – BlueBerry by Zamnesia Seeds | Entry 007 ⸻ 🌱 From Seed to Here – A Quick Recap Our BlueBerry journey began with three germinated seeds, from which we carefully selected two strong phenotypes to carry into flower. From delicate sprouts to fast-branching vegetative bushes, they’ve thrived under a mix of Aptus nutrition and precisely managed environments. By Week 4 of veg, their symmetry and vigor showed just how stable and legendary these genetics really are true to the BlueBerry heritage: Afghan strength, Thai influence, and purple notes hidden in their DNA. Now, here in flower, they’re 57 cm tall, nearly twins in their morphology, and fully embracing their transition into bloom. ⸻ 🌸 Week 2 in Bloom – Shifting Morphology This week the girls are changing shape, stacking nodes tighter, pushing pistils, and clearly leaving veg behind. Their body language is all flower now: • Branches are stretching with intention. • Nodes are clustering toward bud formation. • Pistils are reaching, glowing under the LEDs. Despite fewer photos this week (a busy one outside the garden), a room tour video captures it all the environment, the gear, the girls in context. What the photos can’t show, the video will. ⸻ Nutrient Recipe – An Improvised Symphony We shifted last week from Start Booster → Top Booster, and this week we’ve gone further by weaving in Plagron additives. 🌼 Current Recipe (per liter) • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml 📌 Note: All-in-One Liquid is on pause, the soil pellets are providing base nutrition, while Plagron complements are here to push flower expression. Why this recipe? Because flower is about stacking, energy, and quality. • Power Buds → boosts initial flower development • Sugar Royal → supports metabolism + secondary metabolites (terpenes, aromas) • Green Sensation → bloom stimulator for resin and density • Top Booster → P+K push at the perfect timing It’s experimental, yes, but that’s how progress and learning happen. Past runs with Plagron have shown promise, so this run is the testbed for full synergy. ⸻ Room Conditions – Riding the Summer Wave • Temperature peaks: up to 34°C (a bit high) • Humidity range: 50–70% depending on the day • VPD: averaging 1.89 kPa Not perfect, but the girls are adapting beautifully. Their leaves remain vibrant, posture upright, and growth unimpeded. ✅ Upcoming fix: AC unit arriving soon to stabilize temp & RH into optimal ranges. ⸻ 🌊 Watering & Substrate Monitoring Irrigation is triggered when soil moisture drops to 19–20%, measured precisely by the TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor, connected to the Tent-X brain. This system doesn’t just track moisture, but also EC and medium data, giving real-time insights into what’s happening below the surface. It’s like having an X-ray into the soil, ensuring that every watering is timely and efficient. ⸻ 💡 Lighting & Ecosystem • Future of Grow LEDs + ThinkGrow Model 1 LEDs running together, controlled by TrolMaster ecosystem. • New addition: Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W in the tent, expanding coverage and spectrum flexibility. As the canopy thickens, we’ll be increasing light intensity to match plant demand and keep PPFD within optimal flowering ranges. ⸻ 🐝 A Moment for the Bees – Nature’s Allies This week, alongside garden updates, I want to honor the bees 🐝💛. In the wild, bees are the silent partners of flowering plants, carrying life between blossoms, ensuring the cycle of fruit, seed, and renewal continues. Without them, much of what we enjoy in gardens and on our tables would not exist. Just as I guide my BlueBerries with nutrients, lights, and sensors, bees guide the world with wings, pollen, and persistence. They are tiny alchemists, weaving ecosystems together. So here’s a fairy-tale note for the bees: “Every pistil in my tent glows in light. Every flower in the fields waits for you. May the hum of your wings remind us always, life depends on the smallest of guardians.” ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – Week 3 Flower We expect: • Bud stacking to intensify • Resin glands to begin sparkling • Aroma to whisper into the air (first terpenes awakening) • Nutrient balance to remain key as morphology shifts fully into flower No heavy defoliation yet, focus stays on stability, airflow, and adaptation as the stretch slows and flowers bulk begins. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts – Busy Week, Blooming Garden Even without many photos, the garden speaks for itself. The video tour shows it: thriving plants, a robust ecosystem, and the beauty of legendary genetics expressing in modern conditions. From seed, through veg, and now two weeks into flower, the BlueBerry story continues to write itself. And it’s a story of balance: between nature and technology, experiment and tradition, the grower’s hand and the plant’s will. With bees in the fields and LEDs in the tent, life is thriving. And that’s what this journey is all about. 🌸🌍🐝 Growers Love to you all, DD (DogDoctor)🌱💚 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Flower came in strong and fast! I blinked and she had shot up 4 inches and had started sprouting white hairs all over 😍 no deficiencies showing, I have upped her P and K and will start lowering the N . Did some slight defoliation, but started pulling and strapping her down. Here comes the good part! 🇨🇦❤️🌱😎💨

Endlich fertig! Ich kann keine Trimmschere mehr sehen. Um bei meiner Malibu OG Gold nachzusehen, ob die obersten Buds schon so weit sind, musste ich mit der Leiter hoch steigen. Ich habe von oben nach unten geerntet und dazwischen immer so viel Zeit vergehen lassen, bis die Blüten jeweils im Optimum waren.

The stretch is definitely in effect! The pistols are pistoling and the bud sites are popping up and flourishing with the help of a bit of lst, All signs are looking good to a successful grow / yield hopefully, Not drinking as much as I thought she would but I’m sure that’ll come, Root ball size is starting to fill out the fabric pot, Week by week now 🤤😴🤤

The plants are really starting to frost up, definitely starting to smell. I’ve got my carbon filter running to keep the house from wreaking.

Ciao a tutti, il giorno 65 ho sostituito tutta la soluzione dei vasi. Dopo aver tirato via tutto ho aggiunto 20 litri d'acqua di rubinetto con 2ml/l di flora kleen (GHE). Non ho aggiustato il pH (che nella mia zona è superiore al 7.5 per l'acqua di rubinetto) tanto non ci sono sali disciolti da assorbire. Tra pochi giorni ci sarà la raccolta, sarà un'impresa pulire tutte quelle cime... PS le foto scattate il giorno 66 sono state fatte con un altro telefono

Tough going first few weeks going to look close on the postmortem for the roots and see if I can tell what was causing the issues with Phos, Ca, Mg lockouts. Foliar saved the day Was very disappointed in the germination rate which caused delays in grow cycle and threw off my whole grow system. It forced me into 7 gallon pots to try and save the yield and THAT may be where the issues arose with the pots, I had to use another bin of soil for the extra soil. Still I should have known better and just stuck with the 5 gallon pots but was trying to get yield. Worked too on Layla and Maggie, nothing was going to help the stunting on Brandy which I dropped from the grow. So 60% germination is not acceptable unless its tomatoes... Dont get me wrong though, this strain has a LOT of good qualities, it not only survived my foul up but produced one excellent plant and one monster out of the three that germed. May try it again next year, think it would be stellar in coco. Beyond that a quality product, just had issues. Easy-ish trim and harvest For numbers on Layla (Week 12) 12/19 HARVEST DAY LAYLA wet yield 578 grams Dry weight 219 grams Maggie wet weight 886 grams Into dry DRY weight 255g Layla 219g + Maggie 255g = 474g Not letting me rate the Aurora Innovations Soul Peak PK and Finisher I give it 4 stars
