This week, the plant continued to develop with no major issues. However, signs of a magnesium and calcium deficiency have started to appear, which may require adjustments in the nutrient schedule with Calmag. The plant was watered once with clear, pH-adjusted water to maintain a stable environment. A mild yet distinct aroma has also begun to emerge, hinting at the plant’s unique character as it matures. Overall, growth is progressing well despite the minor nutrient deficiencies.

Parece que irán sobrados de tricomas, no tengo por que sufrir mucho por esto. El olor a la par que los tricomas, se huele cada vez mejor y se ven más tricomas. Esta semana ya dejaron de crecer como lo hacian y se dedicaron más a engordar los cogollos. Todas las ramas fueron sujetadas a los tutores de manera que no se tuercen cuando engordan los cogollos.

Only adding water at a Ph of between 5.5 and 7…still No extra nutrients…switched placement of the plants because the Big Bang was starting to cone and figured the mist from the humidifier was giving too much extra moisture (Not sure how much sense that makes but it healed after the move so I guess🤷‍♂️🏾) Other than that everything was fine.

The girls are coming out of their second topping very well. I will increase their fertilizer going forward as they are taking their current level with flying colors. I was very careful with the identification of my seeds through planting, and yet I am concerned a couple may be mislabeled. I will continue the investigation. lol

I determined they were strong enough for the RDWC system. I have no airflow control over the stones at the moment so it's 26 Liters/min via two 8" stones. A 1.2 ratio. Water circulation flow is 380 Gal/hr. Or 15 swaps. Pushing a nute level of 620PPM (@700) In a week or so, I'll pop on the C02 @ 1000PPM+

This fifth week started off kinda rough. I had to remove some sick leaves that got hit by leaf miners. I’ve cleaned up all the damaged parts from the plants, including this one. On Monday, I’m gonna spray them with a ready-to-use mix that has Neem oil, nettle extract, and horsetail. I also noticed a slight nutrient deficiency, probably because until now I was only watering with untreated tap water — didn’t check the pH at all. Even when I fertilized, I still used water with no pH adjustment. I’ve only just started using pH-controlled water like two or three times now, since I finally bought a pH meter. Now I’m watering and fertilizing with everything adjusted to 6.5, so that’s something I need to keep in mind from now on. I’m planning to bump up the fertilizer to 1 ml per 500 ml of water. I’m using Biobizz Bloom, and I wanna keep the dose like that because the pot is small — just 3.2 liters — so I don’t wanna overdo it with 1 liter of water. I’ve noticed that 500 ml works just fine, so I’ll stick to that. Other than that, everything seems to be going okay.

Flowering is going amazing, this candy cane is growing some very fast weight and caking up with Trichome’s. The sweet and slightly minty berry smell is growing in power day by day, and I’m very happy with how the size of the buds are developing since adding the increase of 2-8-4 and fish bone meal, just a little bit, not too much at all and she’s reacting great, knowing that the candy cane is a larger auto in size makes me a bit sad with the total size of this plant, but in its young age as my very first auto I believe I probably stunted it, but after all this and how she looks now Im more than happy with the growth, yield and quality of it, just speaking now as I do not obviously know how much I Will revive from it, I’m guessing about a ounce. No small bud sites other than maybe one on a lower branch that already has a main top cola on it. The main cola is massive and packing on a lot of size. I’ve switched the light to a hour less now as I am growing 2 photo indica L.A grape and with the season change I am having to fix my temp and humidity more for the photos, so changing to a 17-7 schedule has actually helped quite a lot and also has helped my other autos veg slightly better. But all in all I’m very exited!

Empezamos el cultivo con una de las semillas de las recibidas por Zamnesia para la Spring Cup. Utilizo solo la mitad de la bolsa (75 gr) con 11 litros de sustrato BioBizz Light Mix en la maceta recibida para el concurso. Buen inicio de esta cepa en su primera semana.

De nuevo familia , reconozco que de las 3 variedades , skunk es mi favorita para destacar entre las demás, NO se espigan nada, los internudos están bastante juntos y la cepa 3/3 ejemplares están muy sanas. Cada una con alguna particularidad genética pero muy sanas. Ph bastante controlado, el trasplante lo asimilaron bien todas, humedad en 55% , siguen sin comida pero por poco tiempo, pronto les daremos algo de caña.

This has been such a long journey, finally starting to see some real stack up. I started my first photoperiod grow with 3 strains. This OG Kush and Sour Diesel from RQS, and a land race Afghani strain from Zamnesia. The OG Kush came inside a month ago to make room on my tiny deck for the Christmas tree Afghani out on the porch. The Afghani is over 7 feet tall and frosty stacking hard, picture labeled. The Sour Diesel grew far too big for a tiny suburban deck, she got chopped and relocated. I hope i made the right decisions, regardless man is this growing FUN!

Dry ice is staring to turn slightly purple might be cause of night temp drops but i havnt dropped them that far yet so will come back to that subject later!! End of week 6 of flower so day 42 flower starting to fatten up everyone is for the winter chop! Just been running molases letting the soil do its job of finishing these girls out. I want to push them as long as they can go hopefully past day 56 into the hugh 60s range. I just do what the plants tell me to do. Smells amazing like a sweet kushy skunky! Way strong smell just barley move a bud and u get smacked with a aroma that is very nice. Stay tuned 💚💚

Coming along nicely this week, hoping to see them explode in the next 2-3weeks. All are very healthy and have responded just how I like to LST. Purpinator is bringing out the smells in there definately and they are all smelling good in their own way. I recommend all the products I have used in this diary highly as they haven't failed me in the past(yield and quality). The only new product I am using is green planet purpinator, so I will let you know if I recommend this too when all is finished. I'll upload daily or every couple of days. To clarify I have 6x 55litre buckets with 3 plants of the same strain in each. I have used coco substrate and grown all of them from seed(courtesy of barney's farm) Thanks for looking.

Everyone is smelling GREAT! Nice dense buds and covered in trichomes. However, a bit disappointed with Piper as she didn't turn fully purple but that's because I live in a hot and humid country so I can't really get the temperature down to 15-18 celsius at night for her to change colors. Overall, gonna harvest a bit of her cause I'm running out of stock and we'll see how that goes

🍇 BlueBerry #1 & #2 — Week 7 Flower From Roots to Resilience Hello beautiful souls, welcome back to our BlueBerry adventure — and a warm hello to anyone just joining us! Let’s do a little recap before diving into the magic. From seed to soil, our girls were lovingly nurtured in Aptus Holland super soil, guided by biological balance and living nutrients. Through every stage — from seedling to lush vegetation, from first pre-flower pistils to dense, frosty colas — these BlueBerries have been nothing short of spectacular. Last week brought a challenge: Bud rot found its way into one of our beauties. But quick action, gentle hands, and a bit of intuition made all the difference. We removed the affected areas, adjusted airflow, and kept a close eye. This week, we’re happy to say no new signs of rot — just thriving flowers and crystal-coated buds glowing under the light. 🌞 Environmental Notes It’s been hot, really hot — outdoor temps reaching 45°C (around 110°F). To manage, we’re running the grow during night cycles, where we can keep the environment steadier. Even with heat challenges, the girls are handling it like queens — strong stems, thick stalks, and buds forming beautifully from top to bottom. 🌿 Feeding & Support Our current recipe remains the Aptus + Plagron combo: • Aptus Regulator, CalMag Boost • Plagron Power Buds, Sugar Royal & Green Sensation Together, they’re forming the symphony of this bloom — supporting cell structure, enhancing terpene expression, and encouraging thick resin development. One of the top buds was removed this week — not out of sadness, but as a precaution and an act of love. It was massive, too dense, and could’ve invited humidity trouble again. We took the chance to document it with photos, showing both the beauty and the lesson. 🌸 Reflections This grow has become a story of evolution — from the first transplant to the first flower, from trial to triumph. The inner canopy lights (ICL300) continue to shine beautifully, ensuring every level of the canopy is well-fed with photons. The plants are stacking heavy, leaning on the yo-yos for support, like true heavyweights in the ring. 💬 A Note of Gratitude A huge thank-you to Zamnesia for keeping the classics alive and to everyone following this journey — readers, growers, dreamers, haters, lovers, and the endlessly curious. Every comment, every question, every bit of love fuels this passion. We’ll keep learning, keep growing, and keep showing that even when nature throws a curveball, love and attention always bring balance back.
