- Big Bud + Overdrive

Hey now, hope everyone is having a great weekend. This week went great for the 5 mainlines. I got the final toppings completed for all the ladies, I got them done on the Sundae Driver and Red Hot Cookies on day 38, and the Durban Nights, Green Crack, and the Bubble Runtz topped on day 40 for the final time. At this point there is not much more training left to do, just some minor LST to try and keep all 8 tops per plant level, and some minor defoliation along the way. I am planning to Veg them for 1-2 weeks and flip to flower probably sometime in week 8 depending on how fast they grow. I do have them all on milk crates which are 10" each so I will place them on the floor and adjust the light power probably about the time I flip to flower to accommodate the stretch. I am still feeding GH nutrients, silica, cal mag, and maxi grow. I will transition to flower nutrients approximately one week after flipping to flower. I have found that it is important to continue feeding plenty of Nitrogen through the stretch. The only way I would transition sooner is if I was running out of vertical space. Still very pleased with the Spectrum X from Medic Grow. I am running her at 69% and the plants seem very happy and healthy. The heat and humidity are finally letting up in my region so it is nice to be able to open some windows and drop the temp outside the grow tent. I hope everyone has a great weekend, Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪 Website: https://medicgrow.com/ https://growdiaries.com/grower/medicgrowled

Dos Si Dos # 33 ready for drying in the jar, honest weight (53,5g) seeing the structure which was very small I would have expected something less.. but I am very satisfied. the quality of this weed is absolutely at the top, the taste is very well defined.. when smoked it makes your nose tingle,flavor it is mainly pure lemon with a hint of mint in it. even the strong smell induces an entire room in a few seconds without even smoking it yet. I also collected a 0.4g of scissor hash which turned out very well. it is my favorite in this crop because it surprised me in everything both for its unique terpene profile and for its yield that I never expected given its size compared to wedding cakes. the total weight therefore of all three plants is (135.5g) and a total trim of (44.9g) that according to the calculations even of these crops I reached (1g/watt) precisely. (And im not a pro) I am certainly satisfied with that. 🙌🏻💚

Goingto start LST this week everything is going well 💯 HAPPY

Looking good so far

Everything going ok about done but just cant get ph low enough so flushing and shell be dome by end of this week

SUMMARY: I did a heavy defoliation this week on Sunday 14/02 and then switched to early bloom nutes. I removed most of her fan leaves and all the lower shoots which would not receive enough light. One of the Amnesia shoots has been burnt by the heater as it was in direct line and so I have placed the saucer on top of a mug to raise her up a little out of the heats direct path. Also what I suspected was nute burn caused by a drop landing on the leaf appears to have spread...a few bright burn spots appearing on leaves, not sure what it is. DAY 43 ------ Tuesday 9th February 10:30 I fed the Amnesia 400ml which produced around 100ml runoff (25%). I made 5L of transition nutes at a pH of 6.3 and 5L of early bloom nutes at a pH of 6.3. Both made with rainwater. Tuesday 9th February 18:00 I fed the Amnesia 150ml which produced 100ml runoff (67%). [24°C/45%] DAY 44 ------ Wednesday 10th February 10:45 I fed the Amnesia 400ml transition nutes which produced roughly 50ml runoff (13%). Wednesday 10th February 18:30 I fed the Amnesia 150ml which produced 50ml runoff (33%). [24°C/42%] DAY 45 ------ Thursday 11th February 11:30 I fed the Amnesia 400ml of trans nutes which produced 50ml runoff (13%). Need to up morning feed to 500ml. I made 10L of early bloom nutes with rainwater at a pH of 5.8. Thursday 11th February 18:30 I fed the Amnesia 150ml trans nutes which produced 140ml runoff (93%). [24°C/42%] DAY 46 -------- Friday 12th February 11:30 I fed the Amnesia 500ml trans nutes which produced around 100ml (20%). Friday 12th February 11:30 I fed the Amnesia 50ml trans nutes which produced 50ml runoff (100%). I really need to start feeding less of a morning but shes always dry as a bone and light as a feather by the time I can tend to her. [22°C/42%] DAY 47 -------- Saturday 13th February 11:00 I fed the Amnesia 500ml trans nutes which produced around 50ml (10%). Saturday 13th February 18:00 I didnt have any nutes left to feed the Amnesia and cant make anymore until tomorrow morning now. [22°C/42%] One of the Amnesia shoots has been burnt by the heater as it was in direct line and so I have placed the saucer on top of a mug to raise her up a little out of the heats direct path. Also what I suspected was nute burn caused by a drop landing on the leaf appears to have spread...a few bright burn spots appearing on leaves, not sure what it is. DAY 48 -------- Sunday 14th February 11:45 I fed the Amnesia 500ml trans nutes which produced around 100ml (25%). I made 10L of early bloom nutes with de-chlorinated tap water (no rain water left), 5L at a pH of 5.7 and 5L at a pH of 5.6. Sunday 14th February 18:00 I did a heavy defoliation on the NL stripping MOST fan leaves and any lower small shoots which wont ever get enough light. I also raised the light again so that it is 16" above the canopy of my tallest plant as it was too close now she has grown. The Amnesias main cola is almost level with the canopy of the tallest plant now. I fed the Amnesia 200ml early bloom nutes which produced 100ml runoff (50%). [24°C/46%] DAY 49 -------- Monday 15th February 11:00 I fed the Amnesia 400ml early bloom nutes which produced 180ml runoff (45%). Monday 15th February 18:30 I didnt feed the Amnesia tonight as she doesnt need anymore right now and I cant feed her later. [22°C/42%]

11/30: I harvested the first 6 today, flushed 5 more for the second time, and fed everybody else for the last time. I washed all the branches using the 4-step method ascribed by Doc Bud at High Times/420magazine and many other notable cannabis connoisseurs, with slight modifications: 4 x big plastic totes/bins 8 x ounces of 12% hydrogen peroxide (or 32 ounces of 3%) 2 x cups of concentrated lemon juice 2 x cups of baking soda 10 x gallons of water in each bin Unless your tap water stinks, you're safe to use tap water for the procedure, but I used an inline carbon hose filter to fill my buckets. Bin #1 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the hydrogen peroxide Bin #2 - 10 gallons of water mixed with the lemon juice and baking soda Bin #3 - 10 gallons of water as hot tap water Bin #4 - 10 gallons of cold tap water I was mainly concerned about removing as much lint and cat/dog hair as possible, but also rinsing off any residue left from all the various foliar applications of humic/fulvic acid, kelp, axiom, big bloom, and tiger bloom I did. First, I put my leaf blower on low speed and blasted my plants thoroughly, one at a time, replicating 50-60mph winds for about 10 seconds and watched as a whirlwind of debris and hair flew out the back door. Bud-washing: Pluck any necrotic plant material and any old fan leaves off while they're still on the plant. Then, take a handful of branches and submerge them in Bin #1 for about 30 seconds, agitating it, removing from water, submerging again, agitating, etc...then remove it and let it drip out for a few seconds...then repeat the process with Bins #2-4. Let it drip dry overnight with a little bit of airflow, then dry as you normally would...baskets, boxes, etc.. I hadn't watered these plants in a few days, so they were almost in draught, but after doing this procedure, they were fully hydrated(turgid) and seemed to have brighter colors than before. Nice!😍 12/1: The bottom part of the closet seems empty with only 9 plants in there.. 😟 I cut the harvested plants up and put them into drying baskets in the top of my closet with a small oscillating fan on. I've got the temperature fluctuating between 68f and 75f and the RH is staying between 48% and 52%. To do that, I had to take down the small light in the top of the closet to fit the drying baskets up there. So, I moved the 3 shorter plants still up there down to the bottom and put them on top of buckets. Now the bottom of the closet looks full again!😃 I'm anxious to finish up this grow so I can get busy growing the Fastbuds Fast Flowering Photo Testers!!! When I harvest the next 5, I'll flush the remaining plants really well and that will be all the flushing they'll get..I'll let them dry back out for a few days and harvest them. I've got to make some minor improvements to the garden (adding UV, blue and red/far red booster panels and intake fans) That should put me on track to start germinating them by mid-December if all goes well. 12/3: ...early a.m... The harvested plants are already dry!?!?? And have excellent texture??? Wow..bud washing is for real..roughly 48 hours after I hung them to drip dry, and 40 hours after I put them in baskets in 50% RH/70f conditions with moderate airflow...usually takes 4 or 5 days to get a good slow-dry in the same conditions, so I'm convinced that this must be attributed to the bud-washing procedure. I'm sold! Here's the talley so far: plant #1 - 115g (plus 13g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #2 - 108g (plus 18g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] plant #3 - 119g (plus 15g larf) - C4ndycaine [Candy Cane x C4] plant #4 -  92g (plus 6g larf) - Candy Cane [F2] - the smallest plant in the main area plant #5 - 112g (plus 22g larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] plant #6 -  75g (no larf) - Candesia [Candy Cane x Amnesia] - grown in upper area under 200w ...afternoon: I flushed 6 of the last 7 plants for the first time today and harvested 4 more of them. I washed them and hung them to dry.....my dripping wet bathing beauties!😍

Everything seems to be going slow still. Did one last heavy defoliation to get good airflow going. I added the Ts1000w from Mars Hydro. I’m still feeding the usual 3.0EC from Floraflex. Smell is more on a minty side I can’t really describe it. Other than that nothing else. See you all next week.

Very easy strain to grow yields well as has some cheese in the cross. Flavour is sweet with cheese with an old school earthy twist from the black Domina

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

19.9 5th veg week done and still all rocking healthy and almost ready for flowering stage. I can't grow these much bigger space is the issue here. I decided to go jungle style this round and see how it goes. I'll see if I'll put netting in there to help with spacing.. One week and I'll flip to flower if not sooner let's see.. I removed some damaged leafs and lower parts also. These pics are day prior to that. Blue Fire's are about the same height other one is clearly more bushy at this stage. The New 's have pretty similiar structure. Other one is little smaller and it got topped one node earlier too. I think the size of these will determine when I start flowering. More precise when that smaller one gets bigger I'll flip my lights to 12/12 schedule. Ok so not much more thanks again for stopping by and for all the support! Thank you guys! 🙏 Happy growing !!

Watered today Tuesday 7 litres plain ph water , caught runoff , EC=1.08 (1080) ph=6.3 Watered today Friday 7 litres of 5ml/l Terra bloom , 2ml/l Sumo active boost , caught runoff,EC=2.2 ph=6.5 Watered today Monday 7 litres 4ml/l Terra bloom , 2ml/l Sumo active boost , caught runoff EC=2.2 ph=6.4

Node 7 formed and started with node 8. Small issues with leaves as there appeared some spots on lower levels with a slight purple / dark green on the edges of the top leaves. Will monitor…might be genetics of excess N. Ran a clean water week. PH of water set to 6.0 - 6.5. need to start with flower nutes towards the end of week 5. Will start adding the nutes at 1/3 strength for a week (starting on 18.05/2019) and work my way up to full strength at end of week 7. Will also be adding sea grow every second week from here on. Removed some of the lower fan leaves (4). Noticed that the plant did stand still but growth started again after about day 2 or 3 after cutting leaves. Stated folding the 2 top leaves to allow more lights to lower shoots. Technique used is to roll stem so the leaf turn 90 degrees top to bottom. Recovers within 2 - 4 hours. Lifted the pots higher. Light distance 45cm. Watering less this week due to the amount given towards the end of the last week. Only sprayed water to keep the top level wet. Will start with 250ml every second day.

Pre-flowering

Giorno 63 Tempo fa avevo letto un diario qua su Growdiares di un coltivatore esperto (Hawkbo se non sbaglio) in cui era davvero stupito dalla qualità dei fiori di questa Grape Rolex V2. E io quella Grape Rolex V2 ce l'avevo in casa presa da un amico in un'asta su istagram 😊 Tempo di finire alcuni pacchettini che avevo in frigor ed eccola qui in tutto il suo splendore. Pianta alta 120 cm e fiori che sembrano di una pianta femmina a tutti gli effetti.Sono al giorno 63 e mostra un 5% di tricomi ambrati 80% latte e 10% trasparenti. Sta prendendo acqua ed enzimi da 3 giorni e così sarà per altri 10/12. Le 5 Crystal Candy che dire? Belle cazzute come sempre anche senza aria in entrata e con temperature sui 29/30° (al limite). Due saranno pronte in 7/10gg le altre verranno raccolte intorno al giorno 75/80 da seme. Le rifarò per la terza volta di fila quindi se ti interessa il ceppo resta sintonizzato e la rivedrai ancora!!! Finirò gli ultimi semi di Sweet Seeds che ho in casa e nel frattempo cercherò di comprare rifornimento per 1/2 anni di autofiorenti RocBudInc. Penso non ci sia altro da aggiungere. Passo e chiudo 😂

Flowering day 22 since time change to 12/12 h. Hey guys :-) Another great week that is over. They all develop exactly as it should be 💚. Since the last leaf and substrate application against tripse, I finally haven't seen any of the little biters 👍. Watering was done twice this week with 1.3 l each time (see table above for nutrients). The lowest shoots were removed so that the energy is not wasted in the lower part :-) . Otherwise, as always, everything was cleaned and checked. Fresh osmosis water was filled with stale tap water in a 100 L tank for the coming week 👍.

New week, The plants have been moved and the lighting cycle adjusted to finish flowering. Lots of surprises with the free seeds and even the ones I bought. The autoflowering ones are all different; it's a real mixed bag. I still have a few autoflowering seeds to grow, and then it's time for feminized seeds and crossbreeding varieties for my own creations...
