This is your Captain speaking, Mexican Airlines flight 420 is making its final decent for landing. Please place your seat backs and tray tables in their upright and locked position. 😀 She's in full flush mode now, and will be harvested this weekend. The smell is overwhelming and lovely, a very fruity aroma. Can't wait to smoke this one!👍

The Germination Odyssey of Blackberry Auto: A Grower's Diary Chapter 01 Greetings, fellow cultivators! Today, I bring you the enthralling tale of my Blackberry Auto's germination – a journey filled with anticipation, dedication, and a touch of magic. It all began with a tiny Blackberry Auto seed, a potential green marvel waiting to unfold. With the excitement of a horticultural explorer, I delicately placed the seed into the H2O oasis, where the dance of germination was set to commence. The water cradled the seed like a nurturing embrace, awakening the dormant life within. As the seed soaked in the liquid symphony, a subtle transformation took place. It absorbed the essence of life, swelling with the promise of a vibrant future. In those moments, I felt a connection with the very essence of growth – a humble seed evolving into a botanical masterpiece. The time had come to transfer this burgeoning life force into the next stage – the root riot. Placing the seed in this matrix of potential, I marveled at the intricate dance between life and the growing medium. The root riot cradled the seedling-to-be, creating a perfect haven for roots to stretch and explore. With the root riot as a launching pad, I introduced my Blackberry Auto to the dome of dreams. Inside this miniature greenhouse, the seedling began its ascent toward the light. Temperature: a cozy 28°C, humidity: a whopping 95%. The perfect conditions for a germination symphony, a crescendo of life echoing within the dome. Oh, the magic of 28°C! The ideal temperature for my Blackberry Auto to stretch its roots and unfurl its tiny leaves. It's fascinating how this golden number orchestrates the ballet of germination, a symphony of growth playing out in my humble cultivation space. As I stand before the thriving Blackberry Auto, I see not just a plant but a testament to the delicate balance of nature and nurture. The journey from seed to this radiant seedling is a reminder that each step is a chapter in a living story. In the coming weeks, I'll continue this saga – documenting every milestone, every challenge, and every triumph as my Blackberry Auto blossoms into a bountiful harvest. Join me in this horticultural adventure, where the language of plants is spoken, and the dance of growth unfolds. Stay tuned for more updates from the heart of my cannabis cultivation sanctuary!

Start of week 5. Week 4 went well, however overnight from day 6 into 7 of week 4 the leaves dropped, she needs a bit extra feeding. She's starting to really smell, probably the strongest smelling OG Kush I've grown to date. Bud sites are filling in nicely, she's densely packed and I'm trimming dying leaves steadily.

Nov. 20 - Week 7 begins. It still clings to life despite occasional neglect. Nov. 27 - This week went really fast. One of my Nikon batteries decided to expand and even got stuck in the camera, lucky for me I have some 3M VHB tape kicking around and after several attempts managed to pull it out. I ordered a couple non Nikon replacements that seem to be doing the trick, and at half the price of the elusive, $90CAD, Nikon EN-EL14a. I really aught to get the dummy battery that plugs into the wall and not muck around with batteries, but again, the Nikon parts are elusive and if found, quite expensive. The little lady continues to surprise me with her determination to live despite repeated under watering.

23.05. today is the end of the fourth week for the plants, they haven't progressed much since last week, they grew a few cm and gained a little weight, but they are healthy, which is the most important thing... in a few days I will transplant them and top them because some of them have already developed the sixth pair of leaves, so I simply have to top them. turned out... I thought of transplanting them into 10-liter pots and after two to three weeks into 50-liter holes, however, the weather didn't cooperate, and I was already late anyway because of the bad weather, and because of the same, my plants in the fourth week were the same as they should have been in the second, and because of the same, I couldn't even transplant earlier... now that nothing went according to the "plan", of course, I don't know how smart it is to transplant them into 10 L and then into 50 with the fact that it is with me the longest day of the year is June 22, so that actually a week after that it can start flowering (it usually starts at the end of July or at the end of August, but it can be late and start even in September, and it also knows how to plow and start already at the end of June)...now I think that it is better to buy smart pots of 50-60 liters and immediately transplant into them and then just bury them...another problem with that is that the soil that I took for vegetation has food in it for a month days, if I transplant twice, it may happen that it enters flowering, and the food for the vegetation has not yet been used up, and that would be a problem...advices are welcome Stay high!!!

Alrighty, the fun part’s over—now it’s time to dial things in. The plants seem to have used up the nutrients in the soil and now require a different feeding approach for the flowering stage. But hey, you’ve got to grow to know, and the fix is simple. From now on, I’m fertilizing once a week with BioBizz organic nutrients, following the provided feeding schedule. I’m sticking to the basic components only. I’ve also added some calcium and magnesium, as the lower fan leaves are showing signs of deficiency. Since the plants have become quite bushy, I pruned the lower third over a few sessions—spreading out the stress and avoiding cutting too much at once. Lastly, I’ve set the oscillating fan to medium intensity to prevent stagnant air. The duct fan is now tuned to maintain a VPD between 0.7 and 0.8 kPa.

So last Friday I began germinating seed, tap water in a shot glass I dropped her in and let her stay in darkness for 12 hours.. threw her in a cotton round and placed in ziplock bag. A day later she was already growing a tail and it was time to throw her in a home. Planted the seed on Tuesday and here we are already alive and healthy. I just got my Mars Hydro tent (2.3x2.3x56) put it together last night and now the little babe is thriving with her sister Orange Sherbert . We’ve survived our first week !!!

Day 85 - first day of Week 13 and she is going into darkness for 48 hours. Hasn't been watered since 2 days. Even though she looks the least done of all three, her trichomes are now a good 20-30% amber with the rest milky and some tiny bits of clear. I checked her buds on the calyx all around, from top buds to middle to bottom. She really shows a lot of heavily swolen calyxes, which I have never seen like that. I can now add that to the things I learned/experienced: calyxes swell a lot before the plant is finished. Let's see. My Girl Scout Cookies does not look like she even has calyxes. Funny individuals. Happy wedding cake day, almost 😍 Day 88 - out of darkness. She was in there for 2,5 days. Opening the drying tent she gave off a really strong smell of hash 😍wow. She has some nice looking buds and looks def. more done, but below her dress, she has some light fluffy buds. I have hung all of them now in the dry tent, after I removed some of the bigger fan leaves. One part of it, I think I want to low and slow dry in the fridge. I am interested in finding out about the difference in taste, when a more wholesome profile is retained. For anyone interested, I can highly recommend this forum and this article: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/drziggys-low-and-slow-drying-maximizing-your-harvest.366783 Another part I would like to use for fresh cut oil, also from here: https://www.420magazine.com/community/threads/fresh-harvest-infused-cannabis-oil.363371/ As with everything else, I was obsessing about the perfect dry room & conditions. I bought a small tent (40x40cm), a small oszillating fan hung over the buds/on top of the tent. Due to size limitations, I have the filter on the bottom with the duct leaving the tent at the bottom connecting to an exhaust fan. Inside the tent I have a humidity sensor from an Inkbird Humidity regulator. Connected to that is a mini-dehumidifer and a humidifier. I have set it to 20°C (68F) and 50-55% humidity. I'm excited to see how long my dry will last this time. My first grow was drying way too fast in the middle of the heat wave last year with 30% humidity. The overview added to the pictures, I started making over Christmas. It was when I noticed, that I'm a so impatient, and that something must be wrong, especially in the first weeks. I get so obsessive, that I tend to overcare. Which she showcases beautifully in this overview. I hope this will calm me down the next time. Oh my haha Let's see what the final dry weight is. My guess is about 25-35g. Any other guesses? Happy Wedding Cake day 😇

shit, the snail got to her, even though I try to protect myself from them with special pellets, out of the 4 girls she chose the biggest one :( ... it's a pity, I let her grow further. she doesn't touch the other girls, this one is probably the tastiest :).
