03 Sep 2021 I am going to flip the light schedule today and start the flowering stage for my trio. They are plenty big enough now, so it’s time to start producing some bud! I’m going to start the Early Bloom level on my feed chart (stage 1), but I’m only going to give them half strength till I know they can handle it. Here’s what they’re getting today: CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraGro 3.3ml, FloraBloom 3.3ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. My TDS monitor is still not working properly, so I only have the pH to worry about till I can get another one. All 3 plants had an initial pH of 6.4 and were not adjusted. Runoff pH was as follows: C1 - 5.8, C2 - 6.0, C3 - 5.7 The temperature was 84F, and humidity was 50%. I’ve adjusted the timers to switch to a 12/12 light schedule for flowering to start tonight! Harvest should be in about 45 days, then I’m taking the rest of the year off. Well, maybe not the whole rest of the year, but close. Happy growing everyone!! 08 Sep 2021 So, we’re nearing the end of the first week of the flowering stage and the plants are doing wonderful! I last fed them 5 days ago before going out of town for the weekend, which was also the day that I switched them to start flowering. So far they have started to stretch a bit and develop their branches a little more. I measured each plant today, as well as check the distance from the lights. C1 is 19 inches tall and is 16 inches away from the light. C2 is 20 inches tall and 15 inches from the light. C3 is also 20 inches tall, and 15 inches away from the lights. Some of the leaves are showing the fact that they hadn’t been watered/fed in 5 days, but they mostly look good. They are all looking green, healthy and bushy! I plan to do some defoliation tomorrow to thin them out a bit. I’m also planning on trimming off all of their lower leaves and small undeveloped branches to make them more manageable. I kept with the same feeding levels today as the other day. Each plant took nearly the whole gallon of water mixed with nutrients today, and still had plenty of runoff. I still haven’t gotten a replacement for my broken TDS meter, so I don’t have any TDS data today, just pH. Each plant was given CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraGro 3.3ml, FloraBloom 3.3ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. The initial pH for all 3 gallons was 6.4. Normally I don’t adjust this pH level, but since the runoff pH has been low (between 5.7-5.9) when feeding this level, I decided to adjust a little today. I added 1ml of pH UP to each gallon which adjusted each of them to 6.7 going in. The runoff pH for each plant was as follows: C1 - 6.3, C2 - 6.2, and C3 - 6.0. This level is much better than before, so I’ll keep adjusting to near the same levels in future feedings. The temperature in the tent was 86F, and humidity was 43%. 10 Sep 2021 Today I mainly just did plant maintenance. I defoliated and trimmed the living daylights out of my Trio! They’re practically nude!! It’s a great flowering start point. At least in my opinion. I also pruned about 12 smaller branches for clones. I’m not doing anything special with them, except cutting them off, trimming off excess foliage and sticking them in a solo cup with water and a tiny bit of FloraMicro and FloraGro with the ends cut at a 45 degree angle. This is the method I used to get this Trio, so I’m hoping that some of the 12 grow roots to have a perpetual Blueberry Muffin grow going. It’s an awesome strain!! After doing all the maintenance, I wanted to water/feed them, but the clock was against me. The lights go out at 8 pm, and it was already 7:40 pm. So what I did was prepare 1 gallon with the proper nutrients and pH for the 3 of them to share. Each of them received 5 1/3 cups I fed them CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2.8ml, FloraGro 3.3ml, FloraBloom 3.3ml, Floralicious Plus 1ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. The initial pH was 6.4, and I added 1ml of pH UP which adjusted the pH to 6.6. I added 2 cups to each plant in turn twice, then 1 cup in turn for a total of 5 cups each, then split the remaining cup between the 3 plants. Each got 5 1/3 cups of the solution and none of them had any significant runoff to measure. I trimmed and defoliated each plant to provide equal and plentiful light exposure all the way through each plant. I cleared off all of the lower branches for clones, and to provide clearance at the bottom of each plant. All 3 are growing with their branches in a Christmas tree formation seeking the light with good spacing. I’m hoping that I didn’t over for it today, and that each plant responds the way I want them too. Time will tell. Happy growing everyone!!

Things seem to be on track. Humidity continues to be my biggest challenge - hoping to to make it to the finish line without any incidents of mould. 🙏 Started cutting back on the nutrients. I must say I'm happy she's responded so positively to everything I've thrown at her as I've been a bit more aggressive with the fertilizers than with the original plan I had set out to follow. Hoping to see buds fattening up more over the next two weeks. 🌲

I'm highly impressed with the autopots so far. It's very unlikely that I would have given the plants as much water as they have taken up and they would have suffered, as I was out of town for 3 days and they went through over 10gal while I was gone. Closed the valve on the autopots Fri evening and started up a batch of tea (about 2 gal) with kelp, alfalfa, bat guano, worm castings and, of course, Real Growers Recharge. I'll let the tea bubble for at least 24 hours and then split it between all 4 girls on Sunday just after topdressing and just before lights off. Autopots will get turned on at this time too. Everyone loved the change in light cycle and are starting to stretch nicely. Put up smaller squared trellis netting to spread out the bud sites as they continue to stretch. BBM1 is just a big, healthy girl and really think she's gonna give me a great harvest. BBM2 is filling out nicely and I think both the Cheese and Gruntz will need some tying down to keep the canopy as even as possible, even with the scrog. So anxious for the Blueberry smells to kick into gear.

This was a good week, Its was my first learning experiment that an under watered plant=dry, droopy, unhappy leaves. A properly watered plant= happy smooth, fluffy, lush leaves. I hopefully won't mess up again. The presence of a missing bit of leaf indicates that a bug was enjoying being on my leaf..I had caught an elm bettle and immediately grabbed it, but it must be had lunch first. I hope it was an isolated incident. However probably a good washing/wiping of the leaves is overdue. I added the @Foxfarm Open sesame into the nutrients as I read a couple diaries that reported an increase in bud sites. I also added an additional cfl light to keep trying to bulk the middle. Ill need to start hardening off the plant as outdoor planting time is roughly 2 weeks away. I added a short video of my very basic and simple setup, for anyone anywhere to begin a grow. My apologies at not having one on my first week documentation. Happy growing to everyone, and best of luck to the outdoor crews.

Nuevamente se realizó una pequeña defoliación a hojas que tapen alguna flor 👍👨‍🌾🍀

will edit this text, the page closes all the time because of lack of the memory or something, so im saving it all the time

Amazing!!!!! a wonderful girl, she managed to keep herself so beautiful and strong :) she was not visited very often :) the house has a wonderful smell of tropical fruits :) Thanks to Dutch Passion for the opportunity :)

08.06.25. Day 39 Moved to bigger tent and 2 100w lights. The lights are weaker but have have more coverage. Plants shot up in last week. Also lots for rain for pass week, so drop in day time temperature, which is good. I will have to do some defoliation later however I don't want to stress plants too much as one was high stressed trained accidentally (branches broke. See last week pics) Thanks for reading. Please leave a like.

nice buds

Welcome to my Mataro Blue Diary sponsored by Kannabia & Mars-Hydro. Flower Days 43-50 Days 98-105 Putting on nice bit of mass. Lovely buds and structure. Have been keeping her on heavy PK boosters. Buds are lovely. Nice and sticky. Very dense with dark orange pistils and packed with long Trichomes. I'd say there's about 5-7 days left. Diet Short Flowering + Atami PK boosters with a few of things from Plagron. Lights SP 3000 + IR/UV45 Used to great affect. Love this duo and what it provides is just astounding. Thanks to my sponsors from Kannabia & Mars-Hydro for their support and products. Much appreciated to all those who viewed, liked &/R commented. Look forward to seen your diaries. Either way thanks for dropping by.

Good week, plants seem to be doing well. No issues except for plenty of gnats in the tent. I removed some lower branches that were touching the soil after training. Gave approximately 200ml water/nutrients. There was no sign they needed more than that and their bags are still relatively heavy. I expected from next week that watering will need to ramp up but I'll see.

Weeks 7-9 Days 42-63-5 Both phenos got defoliation done to them and opened them up for fattening. They've stopped putting upwards hight and on day 42 I done their only heavy defol and put them back under my P1000 (100W led) which did this plant from start to finish. Kept steady feeds. The last 4 days or so it was put on water. After 6hrs dark rest both were chopped and hung upside down. (More indepth 3 week review) Phenos at the end of week 6 here, finished preflower both are around 62-65cm. Been the general hight for my other 2 pheno pot grow . Then on day 42 I done a hard defoliation and just put them back under the light for 3 weeks. Steadily kept feeding Xpert Nutrients but not in the way I should have. But, for the short time (9 weeks) and just making sure that the substrate never ran dry. I got some decent results. Again these were more tests. As I like to see how breeders phenos react in similar environments and you can't get closer than being in the same pot, got 2 small but more or less twins of Auto Fractal, giving me around 45-50 dry grams Nutrients were given sparcely but always made sure NPK feeds were no longer than 3 days apart. Had I given everyday and focused more on flushing etc. Id of gotten bigger phenos. But, it was a test. And I got to try their autos and now know that I'm most cases you won't get 7-10g plants. Just give enough space and don't stress and you'll get big autos. Put on good bud mass just under a 100w in a crowded tent. Got really fruity bud and overall very happy with my 2 small lush phenos 1st 2pheno (separate strains, autos kabul/opium also showed how steady the genrics are I've got a 5 pheno SCROG of Euphoria fem by Divine coming along nicely. I also have a white widow auto by divine in an 11L pot and its really big its still weeks out from being done. Proving to me. Their gentics are 🔥 and give good results if you put in the right effort.

11JULY2025: The buds swell. Leaves partially discolored. Not all 4 plants are at the same stage of flowering. Odor is intense.

Growing faster showing fat buds! Im very happy! 2 more weeks and 🔪

Tough week put in and took out a new 85w led grow light. It was too hot in the tent and the lights burned a couple spots. Looking for ward to more flowers. She’s starting to smell like fuel and skunk. More bloom nutes this week. Going to buy a couple additives to boost it. Thinking about my next grow. And how to expand.

🗓️ Week 10 – Flower Week 6 ✅ Cherry MAC Muffin showed a more noticeable salt buildup this week, with runoff EC values peaking over 1.9 at times 🚨 After a light flush and reduced feeding, things are back under control ✅ She now responds well to inputs between 1.0–1.3 EC – no fresh signs of excess or deficiency. The bloom is progressing evenly again, and everything’s on track. 📌 Next step: Switching from Big Bud to Overdrive in the coming week 🌸

03-09-2025 I have found some white hairs in my buds and it scared the shit out of me 😱☠️ I immediately thought of bud rot, again. A close examination of the bud helped me find the culprit: a caterpillar 🐛!! I saw it’s arse sticking out my bud. I poked it with my scissors ✂️ and it fell out of my bud, hanging by its wire. I fed him to the chickens. Some leaves are turning yellow. I cut them off. The plant is reaching its end and I should watch it closely.

Starting to swell more each day...still very pleased with overall quality..

Hey Guys, Growth has taken off a lot this past week, have had to add a heater to the grow which isn’t ideal but with warmer months coming this should only be temporary. I have the thermostat set to start the heater when temps go below 23°c. Watching Dr Bruce Bugbee on YouTube, he stated that growth does start to suffer below this temperature. One of the plants has some odd colours and growth which I’m pretty sure is Mg deficiency, which is probably due to that particular girl being more sensitive to PH swings than the rest of the ladies. I have had to insulate some of the circulating pipes as the water cooler was struggling to keep the water baths cool. Seems to have helped keep temps down a couple more degrees, I mate have to reconfigure where my water cooler is in the piping run after this grow Finally a special thanks to the GD team for selecting my previous diary for DOTM, very flattering considering some of the great content that was submitted for March 2020! Happy growing all!
