This weather's been crazy! We've been stuck in this deep freeze for over a week now. The temperature hasn't climbed above freezing for like 10 days – it's brutal out there. And to make things worse, with all this cold, the humidity's been acting weird. It's really hard on the plants, especially without the sun to help them dry out a Little. Even though they're a little behind the others, those permanent marker plants are looking good. Being so close to the light must be helping them stack up those buds, so hopefully it's just a matter of time before they really start to shine.

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower and i bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , this lady is by far the bushyist plant with the most branches she also didn't stretch much and is packed with bud sites ,

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower the Cal mag has made absolutely no difference too the yellow colour of this blackberry so I suspect it is just how this strain is as meany diary's on here of the same strain are also on the yellow side , but it's certainly not affecting the speed of the growth of her , i also bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , I accidentally bend the main stem last week while I was putting them under the netting too try and control the stretch , luckily it did not crack or snap the branch at all and she didn't droop on that branch at all and has healed already , it may or may not be related but as soon as it happened the side branches thickened up too the thickness of the main stem , this plant has over taken the rest in size even being a full week too 15 days younger , it's certainly not ideal but it really does not appear too have slowed down the growth and may well go in my favour , this lady really did stretch out from week 4 into 5 and is showing no sign of slowing down , her side branches are very thick almost as thick as the main stem , her leaf production was minimal and I have only had too remove very few too expose the bud sites , the yellowing seems too be recovering now and most of the plant is green now , Update , Now gone a lush green colour instead of that horrible yellow , and the buds have already started too purple , she has also stepped up a gear with her nutrient intake almost drinking 6 pints since Thursday , She seems too have slowed down on the stretch and has so meany bud site scattered all over her with as the diary name suggests black roses everywhere , and note too any seed banks reading this if there is not a purple stain out there already called black rose now is your chance lol and Iwant a sample pack first kinda like the tester :) Now defoliation , as you can see they really didn't seem too mind at all being stripped and within a couple of days they had all replenished the lost leaves and even this week olive had to pull the odd few off as they have grown out , Method , well all info now is simple , Anything I cannot tuck under something that is blocking a bid site with shade I remove too middle or bottom , Everything else stays , I just stand above the plant and pull off anything covering the sites , it's really as simple as that , I see some strip them until there is nothing left on but a few sugar leaves , but for me didn't like the look of the plants , for me the growing process is just as much fun as the fruits ,

Day 22 - Didnt have a time to make a Day 20 due to my sickness but hey im back guys dont worry ! :) - So at the first point, changed the pH of the water with nutes to 6.3 for better CalMag absorbing - I know very well about light being too close problem, girls are bushy, not very stretchy. Will solve the problem in 5 days (will move them into bigger box) - Applied foliar spray with 1ml/l of CalMag and 1ml/l Rhizo - Deficiency is still spreading throughout the older leaves, i know im losing some leaf mass right now. Trying my best but i cant move the light (problem causer) further... - Going to transplant them to a 10l/2gal pots in 4 days after moving them to a bigger tent. - wishing them ladies all the luck i have to survive the next days without too much burn... Note: If you have some idea how could i dim the light a little, let me know ! :) Day 28 - So, moved them to a bigger box. I finally could. (120x120x200) - Calcium deficiency has spread almost to all plants in the small box but it looks like IT stopped after moving them And moving the Light further, finally... - Light Is now 50cm above the tops which IS appearing to be 17000 Lux (used Phone luxmeter so its probably not perfect) - every 2 days spraying them with 1ml/l calmag And 1ml/l rhizotonic before the nighttime - flushed every plant with 2l nute mix ph 6.0 EC 1.6 due to not buffered Coco coir (really pi**Ing me off). Hopes it made the nutes evenly spread - outflow came 5.8 pH and 1.4 EC - Fimmed at day 25, looks like they didnt noticed much but the lower branches started to grow heavily. (i know i shouldnt due to health of the plants but better than topping right) -wish them luck in next days, theyre not the biggest but they seem very strong (thanks to team Humboldt seeds :)) - if everything goes right from now on ill switch them to 12/12 at the end of week 6

Not a whole lot going on this week. Did some light trimming and removed the wires. Main stem on all 4 are nice and flat, going to let the girls veg out for a few weeks and just grow up wards. Moved the lights up 16 inches to let them stretch out. I also switched light cycles.. read an article that mentioned a lot of benefits to having 8 hours on and 4 hours off. Specifically I've noticed a lot of benefits ik terms of cooling and environmental control. I havent had to push water bottles into my buckets ar all this week. And it seems to be growing at a normal rate.

Finished my first grow. Now able to put these girls in the main tent. The light above is a Fluence Bioengineering Sypdr 2 LED (648 watts approx.). Moved the girls into 5 gallon equivalent airpots. Using Roots Organics Orginal Soil for the whole grow. Newberry was a male plant, so he was terminated. Neem oil is used as a foliar spray for possible pest. Topped all the girls, as they seem to be bouncing back nicely from the supercropping. Won’t be doing anymore major stressing, going to let them veg a couple more weeks. Stay tune

Transplanted Into Micro PC Grow Room On 1/21/19 At 10 am. Experienced Mild Stress As The Leafs Indicated Slight Wilting. 2 Hours After Settling Into Her New Spot. Observed Stress Relief. As The Leaf's Indicated By Stretching Upward For More Light Intake. Will Be Adding Growstones Tomorrow. After A Full Days Rest. All In All Not A Bad Transition Overall! As She Seems To Like Her New Spot. Air Temp Maintaining At A Comfortable 70 Degrees F. With Water At 60 And A Ph At 6.3! Day 9 Second Nodes And Fan Leafs. Roots Are Exploding! Got Here Hooked like A Crack Head On Emerald Goddess Green Crack. Splash'd Her With R.O. Water! Progress Is Stable And Looking Good! Tomorrow Jan 29 begins week 3 and top'n along with low stress training. Will be customizing a metal net file basket into a scog system for the begining of week 4 as I will be training her for vigorous sideway grow to maximize yield. I am just hoping I have the time as i think it will be flowering sometime in the late 4th to middle of the 5th week! Will update with week 3 photos soon!

This week things seem to be progressing normally. Although not knowing what to expect, I can't say for sure, but no mishaps so far. I think they have stopped stretching, and are starting to get bigger buds, but that may be wishful thinking. Watching the time lapse I am noticing that during certain parts of the day, the leaves are drooping still. At first I manually turned on the pump for their nutrients when I saw the leaves starting to sag, which was generally when I got up in the morning, but then watching the video, I decided to start doing it earlier. After watching last weeks video, I decided to set the pump to go on even earlier, and now I think I might do earlier still, or even perhaps set it to run twice a day. Time will tell... literally.. 😃 As you can see, I dropped the amount of Medi One this week, and upped the Bloom formulation with no big change in the results that I can see, but they do look healthy with green leaves and no unusual tips.

Steady increase in the yellowing and spots on leaves. Buds sites are developing nicely, plants look much healthier at this stage, then the previous grow.

I really didn’t have any problem with her, except maybe she got a little bigger (to close to the light) than I’d expected. I was expecting more like 390g from her, maybe she didn’t enjoy the light feeding as well as I thought. No matter she is some top grade smoke that I’m going to love sharing.0
