She got really stout and bushy like a Christmas tree, you can tell by the stem structure that the colas are gonna be thick and dense, but boy did she have a Crazy couple of weeks. First it was little spots of powder mildew. Then She kept getting spider mites and i couldnt seem to keep them away. i have a lot of other plants and veggies growing my garden so i moved her. Little did i know that her being near my sunflowers meant that some type of sunflower worm would get to it and one burrowed inside the stem of the main cola so i had to trim that way down to keep it from rotting. The mold and the mites were friggin persistent so i moved her to a different location and shes doing so much better. im almost positive i stunted her by trimming the main cola. Im not mad though cause it looks like she has 4 different colas growing in its place so im ok with that. Most descriptions say she finishes flowering around 10-11 weeks and I'm there now with a lot of maturing left to do. Shes looking healthy so well see how she matures!

Week from 3/07 to 9/07 Big things, mainly repotting in a new 100L pot mixing with: •40L Coco Coir, ph 6 •60L Evergreen TS Golf, which is for lawns, ph 7 I didn’t really care to buy new soil, so I used lawn soil, composed of: -Irish moss peat (turf) -Silica -Manure All good things that help growth anyways Also added 50g of Mycorrhizae which isn't hardly enough but it’s better than nothing

Chopped her two days into week 14. What else. Buds. There are a lot of them. And they are quite large. And they look like they will require little effort to trim. What more can I wish for? I am a very happy man. Upd 1: Trimming is SO SIMPLE! Not much sticking out to begin with, because of the amazing bud structure and me plucking most bud node fans. Solid nugs which are not bothered by anything, so pulling smaller sub-bud fans is very simple too, while the buds are what I would call moist. I'll call this Moist Trim 😄 ✂️✂️✂️ Went for the best trimming tools available on the market (well at least my research concluded so) and LOVING every minute of trimming with the B-500SRF. Why would I or anyone else use something less suitable or less comfortable for such a delicate and long job is beyond me, except if you cannot afford one right now, in which case I wish you to experience it one day. Fiskars are also very good in therms of the blades, coating and cutting ability and precision, but the spring is just too stiff, like way, way to stiff for something that is to be used for hours on end. One might argue that such spring force helps overcome resin buildup, but please just rinse your instrument regularly in an appropriate solvent (ethy, iso, whatever — consider you instrument materials as well) and wipe it after. Why would you let significant amounts of resin to accumulate on such a gentle and precise tool? Kinda defeats the purpose?

Greetings, fellow green enthusiasts! Week 3 unfolds like a crescendo in the cultivation symphony, and my Blackberry Auto is not merely growing – she's flourishing into a botanical masterpiece. Join me in this chapter of lush greenery, where every leaf tells a story of meticulous care and bountiful growth. A monumental shift occurred this week as I sensed the roots had embraced their space, and with that confidence, the AutoPot Aquavalve was turned on. It's a momentous occasion; from now on, my Blackberry Auto dictates her own hydration destiny. The Aquavalve ensures a precise, gravity-fed watering system, allowing the plant to drink at her leisure. It's a botanical utopia where hydration meets autonomy. As a gesture of extra love, I treated my thriving Blackberry Auto to a Nutrispray shower. While not a necessity, it's my way of pampering her with a nutrient-rich mist – a spa day for the botanical queen. Every droplet whispers, "You're cherished, and your journey is celebrated." The dance of low-stress training persists, a ballet where leaves are gently coaxed into the perfect formation. Blackberry Auto, the prima donna of this green theater, responds with unparalleled elegance. Each bend not only shapes her structure but also encourages a bushier, more productive plant. It's a dialogue of symbiosis, where I guide her growth, and she graciously accepts the choreography. Blackberry Auto's aesthetic prowess is on full display – her color is a vibrant tapestry, and her structure an architectural marvel. It's not merely a prediction; it's a prophecy of a beautiful, robust plant reaching towards the zenith of its potential. Each leaf is a stroke of nature's brush, creating a masterpiece before our very eyes. As I share this journey, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the creators of the genetics – thank you, Fast Buds, for gifting us Blackberry Auto. To my sponsors who make this journey possible, your support is the fertilizer for this green endeavor. A tip of the hat to Grow Diaries for providing a platform to document and share the magic. And to the community, your camaraderie adds depth to this horticultural narrative. Together, we cultivate not just plants but a shared passion for the botanical world. Stay tuned, green comrades, for the forthcoming chapters of Blackberry Auto's odyssey. The journey continues, and each leaf unfurls a new verse in the poetic saga of cultivation. Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life

3x3 Clone Tent (Frosted Gelato, G-41, Frozay Pie, Black Cherry Gas) - Organishield foliar IPM and Soil Program watering treatments. Top dressed using BuildAFlower, worm castings, and FF Fruit and Flower top dressing. Week 3 defoliation in flower. Adjusted scrog netting upwards 2-3" for continued plant structure support heading into week 3 flower. Combination of cold weather, low ph, and insufficient levels of mag/cal micronutrients. Gave clones a feeding of FF Beastie Bloomz with Cal/Mag to help with macro/micro nutrients. End of week update - more bud development stacking nicely with leaves beginning to turn a variety of colors mostly reds and purples. Beautiful. 2x4 Tent (Humboldt Seed Blueberry Cupcake/TH Seeds French Macaron) - Organishield foliar IPM and Soil Program watering treatments. Applied new 2x4 AC Infinity netting for scrog plant structure support. BBCC began showing signs of rust on older lower leaves. Combination of cold weather, low ph, and insufficient levels of mag/cal micronutrients. Adjusted ph and feed FF Beastie Bloomz with Cal/Mag. End of week update - BBCC recovering nicely after treatment and nutrient feeding. Continue to take advantage of flower stretch by fanning out growth filling in empty areas of the scrog netting. 2x2 Tent (Afgooey Autos) - first application of Organishield foliar IPM and Soil Program watering treatments. Need 2-3 more days before transplant into final three gallon grow bags. Cuttings are in day 12 using peat pellets. No visible sign of rooting yet. 2x2 UPDATE: Transplanted three Afgooey Autos into 3 gallon fabric bags with FF Happy Frog, Light Warrior, and Natures Living Soil for autos and Mykos for roots. Two days later, the plants are thriving. Day 13 and cuttings beginning to show first signs of root development in peat pellets. Continue to mist and monitor for next two days before transplanting into dixie cups. End of week update - WE HAVE ROOTS. Continued vibrant growth of transplanted autos. Because of space restrictions and volume of combined grows, I will top autos in the next few days. Not normally recommended, but I have topped autos previously and if done early enough the females should recover fully prior to flowering.

Day 46: nutrients like plan Pictures are taken on day 47 --------------------------------------------- Not much to say, she is growing good 👍 She still has her "discolouration", which she has since day 1. 😅 Happy growing 🕷️🌱

DAY 87: So I finally repotted the White Widow, though, still not into a 5-gallon. I have a second tent on the way that I'll use strictly for vegging and will allow me to the room to veg out in larger pots with more freedom. I also gave the White Widow some much needed defoliation, and now I can finally see the structure of the plant. I also topped two of her tallest colas to let the rest of the canopy catch up. The Lucky Charms is moving right along. She has a very lemony smell to her. Maybe even closer to a Skittles smell. Also happy to say that the Lucky Charms clone has rooted, and this plant's legacy and beast genetics will continue.

Day 43 Flower (Day 85) Today is the first day of week seven of flower, and this is supposed to be the last week of flower for this fast strain, but I doubt that either of the girls will be done this week. That being said, it's pretty much a waiting game at this point since we're on the home stretch. The right girl should be done soon-ish, but the left girl will probably take a few more weeks. I just got my second Corona vaccine shot a couple of days ago, and as soon as it is entirely up and running, I'm off on vacation. After 1.5 years of this pandemic crap, I'm SO ready to go traveling again. To prepare for my travels, I installed a drip irrigation system in the left girl's tent. It's a simple system with a 10-liter water bag, some hose, and a few drip emitters, but once dialed in, it should be enough to provide the left girl with water for around a week. The system was a piece of cake to install, and I wrapped the water bag with some white mylar to avoid the water getting heated and also to reflect the light better. It's a bit ghetto still, but I'll make it prettier once I see that the system works as intended. I installed the system now already to give me time to dial it in. I'm hoping that the right girl will be done before I travel, but if she isn't, then I'll hook her up to the automated drip irrigation system that I use for our tomatoes. Come hell or high water. I'm going on that vacation, dammit! Lastly, I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water. Day 44 Flower (Day 86) I think those extra photons from the new light are starting to work their magic in the left tent, and the left girl is slowly starting to fatten up. In the right tent, everything is just cruising along and I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.6 water today. Day 45 Flower (Day 87) The drip irrigation system in the left tent is working out great so far. Only been a couple of days though but yeah, so far so good. The right girl is packing on some weight into her buds and some of the thinner branches are starting to fall over. I've ordered some plant yoyos for support but they won't arrive until next week so I'll make do until then. Lastly, I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.3 water. Day 46 Flower (Day 88) Not much is happening on a day-by-day basis this late in flower. I hope those plant yoyos get here asap as the right girl is struggling to keep some of her branches up under the weight of the buds. I want to go in and tuck some fan leaves in her canopy to allow better light penetration. Still, I can only tuck a couple without starting to knock over branches as other branches precariously support them. (Note to self: use a second scrog next photo grow to give support after the stretch.) I gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.5 water, and that was all for today. Day 47 Flower (Day 89) Woooo! The yoyos arrived today even though they weren't due until next week. It was a breeze to put up; attach the yoyo at the roof of the tent with a zip tie, pull down the hook and attach it to the branch, done. I ended up using only three since the other branches are standing quite well once those three worst offenders are supported. A fourth branch could also use support, but the branch is way in the back, and I can't get to it without getting my arms and hands all covered in resin as just about everything in the tent is super sticky now. The buds on the right girl are very resinous and have a strong smell. I should bring out the microscope soon and start to check the trichomes to see where she's at. I also gave the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.6 water. The left girl is just hanging out in her tent, doing her thing, and slowly fattening up. The drip system is working great so far. After four days, the water bag is about half empty, so it looks promising that it will last a week. I've been monitoring the soil humidity, and it has slowly been dropping these four days, but the drop is so slow that it is next to negligible. Day 48 Flower (Day 90) Today, the left girl's soil humidity did a small drop, but it is still in a great range. I guess it is because as the water in the bag gets less, the water pressure is reduced, resulting in the water flowing more slowly out of the drip emitters. Not a huge deal, though, as it is now five days since the last time I hand-watered the left girl, so this irrigation system will work just fine when I go on vacation for a few days. I filled up another 3 liters of pH 6.1 water in the bag, and I'll keep an eye on it to see if the soil humidity increases. Speaking of watering, I treated myself today to a new, better pH pen. As a living soil grower, I don't use any nutes, so I thought I might as well make sure I have a quality pH pen to make sure the water is on point. My old Dr. Meter pen has served me just fine, but this bluelab pen is a lot faster, and it has a backlit display which makes it easier to use in low light situations. A friend of mine recently started growing, so I'll gift my old pen to him as well as my old tiny, drying tent, and the ViparSpectra P600 light as I don't need that now when I have a much more powerful light for the small tent. The right girl got 3 liters of pH 6.1 water as I haven't hooked up the automated drip irrigation system to her yet but will do that in the next few days as I suspect that she won't be finished either before vacation. Lastly, I started to brew some compost tea to give the girls one final boost of microbes and nutrients. I used a similar recipe as previously: worm castings, rock dust, biochar, lime, bentonite, neem meal, kelp meal, and molasses. I upped the castings and neem, though and I'll leave this tea brewing for 24 hours and feed it to the girls tomorrow. Day 49 Flower (Day 91) The last day of the seventh week of flower, and all is well in the tents. According to the breeder, this week is supposed to be the final week of flower, but none of my girls are near ready. I took out the microscope today and checked the trichomes on the right girl, and I would guess she has at least another week, if not two, to go as her trichomes are still clear. I might even end up running her longer as I'm looking for a decent amount of amber this harvest. This strain is supposed to be a heavy, almost narcotic Indica, and I'm aiming to make her as potent as possible. A "last-smoke-of-the-night" kind of smoke. Lately, there has been a noticeable cannabis smell in my lung room, and last night I tracked down the cause. It turned out that there was a leak between the carbon filter and the fan, so the fan blew out partly unfiltered air. Nothing that some duct tape couldn't fix, and this morning the smell was gone. The right girl is sticky af and has a strong smell. Initially, there's a strong citrus fragrance with hints of lime and grapefruit, but once those terps have started to evaporate, there's an underlying fragrance of pine. The left girl has even longer to go, and it wouldn't surprise me if she takes another month. We made some guacamole last night, but a couple of the avocados had gone bad, so I put them on my pots. My loss is my worms' gain. All I did today was to feed the compost tea I started yesterday to the girls. Each one got 3 liters of unfiltered tea at pH 6.7.

So this is purple punch from #fastbuds. I started a very early batch for outdoors to see if anything managed to survive to extend/add the outdoor growing cycle, out of 4 seeds only this purple punch managed to survive 3° nights during veg🤗 as small as she is she has a very nice structure and expresses great purple colour on both the leavestems as the buds. Harvesting in may is definetely my earliest ever outdoors

Quickly doing the weeks I missed the buds have rapidly increased in size and are starting to really smell and stink the place out starting to see a few Amber hairs and hopefully can chop them in a couple more weeks
