🌸 Week 2 Flower – BlueBerry Diaries Continue Grower’s Journal – BlueBerry by Zamnesia Seeds | Entry 007 ⸻ 🌱 From Seed to Here – A Quick Recap Our BlueBerry journey began with three germinated seeds, from which we carefully selected two strong phenotypes to carry into flower. From delicate sprouts to fast-branching vegetative bushes, they’ve thrived under a mix of Aptus nutrition and precisely managed environments. By Week 4 of veg, their symmetry and vigor showed just how stable and legendary these genetics really are true to the BlueBerry heritage: Afghan strength, Thai influence, and purple notes hidden in their DNA. Now, here in flower, they’re 57 cm tall, nearly twins in their morphology, and fully embracing their transition into bloom. ⸻ 🌸 Week 2 in Bloom – Shifting Morphology This week the girls are changing shape, stacking nodes tighter, pushing pistils, and clearly leaving veg behind. Their body language is all flower now: • Branches are stretching with intention. • Nodes are clustering toward bud formation. • Pistils are reaching, glowing under the LEDs. Despite fewer photos this week (a busy one outside the garden), a room tour video captures it all the environment, the gear, the girls in context. What the photos can’t show, the video will. ⸻ Nutrient Recipe – An Improvised Symphony We shifted last week from Start Booster → Top Booster, and this week we’ve gone further by weaving in Plagron additives. 🌼 Current Recipe (per liter) • Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • Plagron Power Buds – 1 ml • Plagron Sugar Royal – 1 ml • Plagron Green Sensation – 1 ml • Aptus Top Booster – 0.25 ml 📌 Note: All-in-One Liquid is on pause, the soil pellets are providing base nutrition, while Plagron complements are here to push flower expression. Why this recipe? Because flower is about stacking, energy, and quality. • Power Buds → boosts initial flower development • Sugar Royal → supports metabolism + secondary metabolites (terpenes, aromas) • Green Sensation → bloom stimulator for resin and density • Top Booster → P+K push at the perfect timing It’s experimental, yes, but that’s how progress and learning happen. Past runs with Plagron have shown promise, so this run is the testbed for full synergy. ⸻ Room Conditions – Riding the Summer Wave • Temperature peaks: up to 34°C (a bit high) • Humidity range: 50–70% depending on the day • VPD: averaging 1.89 kPa Not perfect, but the girls are adapting beautifully. Their leaves remain vibrant, posture upright, and growth unimpeded. ✅ Upcoming fix: AC unit arriving soon to stabilize temp & RH into optimal ranges. ⸻ 🌊 Watering & Substrate Monitoring Irrigation is triggered when soil moisture drops to 19–20%, measured precisely by the TrolMaster WCS Substrate Sensor, connected to the Tent-X brain. This system doesn’t just track moisture, but also EC and medium data, giving real-time insights into what’s happening below the surface. It’s like having an X-ray into the soil, ensuring that every watering is timely and efficient. ⸻ 💡 Lighting & Ecosystem • Future of Grow LEDs + ThinkGrow Model 1 LEDs running together, controlled by TrolMaster ecosystem. • New addition: Lumatek Zeus Compact Pro 465W in the tent, expanding coverage and spectrum flexibility. As the canopy thickens, we’ll be increasing light intensity to match plant demand and keep PPFD within optimal flowering ranges. ⸻ 🐝 A Moment for the Bees – Nature’s Allies This week, alongside garden updates, I want to honor the bees 🐝💛. In the wild, bees are the silent partners of flowering plants, carrying life between blossoms, ensuring the cycle of fruit, seed, and renewal continues. Without them, much of what we enjoy in gardens and on our tables would not exist. Just as I guide my BlueBerries with nutrients, lights, and sensors, bees guide the world with wings, pollen, and persistence. They are tiny alchemists, weaving ecosystems together. So here’s a fairy-tale note for the bees: “Every pistil in my tent glows in light. Every flower in the fields waits for you. May the hum of your wings remind us always, life depends on the smallest of guardians.” ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – Week 3 Flower We expect: • Bud stacking to intensify • Resin glands to begin sparkling • Aroma to whisper into the air (first terpenes awakening) • Nutrient balance to remain key as morphology shifts fully into flower No heavy defoliation yet, focus stays on stability, airflow, and adaptation as the stretch slows and flowers bulk begins. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts – Busy Week, Blooming Garden Even without many photos, the garden speaks for itself. The video tour shows it: thriving plants, a robust ecosystem, and the beauty of legendary genetics expressing in modern conditions. From seed, through veg, and now two weeks into flower, the BlueBerry story continues to write itself. And it’s a story of balance: between nature and technology, experiment and tradition, the grower’s hand and the plant’s will. With bees in the fields and LEDs in the tent, life is thriving. And that’s what this journey is all about. 🌸🌍🐝 Growers Love to you all, DD (DogDoctor)🌱💚 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Pretty smooth week. Realizing I should've done a bit more defoliation around trellis level where I've got a lot of little budsites competing for space. Dosidos 1 (purple-er pheno) - beautiful plant with lots of frosty little buds. Nice colors in the pistils this week. CBS - still looks sickly. Gave her a shot of the Neptune's Harvest this week but she looks about the same. Despite her yellowing and mottled spots on the leaves her buds keep filling in. BttF2 - Looking pretty good. She's closer to the light than the other 3 but doesn't seem to have any issues with the extra rays. Dosidos 2 (frostier pheno) - Also looking healthy and dripping with trichomes. Accidentally got a little resin on my hand and it smelled like Sweet Tarts.

Hey, cannabis enthusiasts and connoisseurs! 🌿🔥 The journey with our Runtz F1 has been nothing short of legendary, and now we’re at the stage that every grower eagerly awaits—the trim and smoke report. This Runtz F1 has delivered beyond expectations, and I can’t wait to share the details with you. Let’s dive in! The Trim Process 🌾✂️ The trimming process was an experience in itself, filled with care and attention to detail. Here’s how it all went down: • Breaking Down the Branches 🌿: • First, we carefully broke down the plant into manageable branches, making sure to preserve the integrity of each bud. The structure of the Runtz F1 made this easy, with its dense, compact colas ready for precision trimming. • Trim Bin Magic ✂️: • Using a Trim Bin, we meticulously trimmed away the sugar leaves, leaving behind only the most beautiful, resin-coated buds. The Trim Bin isn’t just a tool; it’s a game-changer, allowing us to catch every last bit of precious kief that falls during the process. This extra kief is like a bonus for those special moments when you want to add a little something extra to your smoke. • Preserving Terpenes with Grove Bags 🛍️: • Once trimmed, the buds were placed into Grove Bags for curing. These bags are revolutionary in the cannabis world, designed to lock in terpenes and keep your buds fresh for the long haul. Unlike traditional jars, Grove Bags use a special TerpLoc technology that creates a perfect microclimate within the bag, balancing out oxygen and moisture levels. This means your buds cure evenly without the need for burping, preserving that incredible citrus terpene profile we’ve come to love from the Runtz F1. The Legendary Smoke 🌬️🔥 Now, let’s talk about the smoke—because this is where the Runtz F1 truly shines. • Flavor Explosion 🍊🍋: • The moment you take your first inhale, you’re hit with a symphony of citrus flavors. It’s like walking through a citrus grove with the sun shining down—notes of oranges, tangerines, and lemons come through strong, each one distinct yet harmoniously blended. But the magic doesn’t stop there; an underlying hint of vanilla sneaks in on the exhale, rounding out the flavor with a creamy, smooth finish. It’s an experience that dances on your palate, leaving you craving more. • Aroma 🌿🌸: • The smell is just as captivating as the flavor. As soon as you open the Grove Bag, the room fills with that zesty citrus aroma, complemented by a subtle sweetness from the vanilla undertone. It’s the kind of smell that makes you pause and appreciate the craft that went into growing this plant. • The Effects 🌟: • The effects of the Runtz F1 are as balanced as its flavor profile. Expect an initial wave of uplifting energy—perfect for daytime use or when you need a creative boost. As the high settles in, it mellows into a relaxed, yet focused state. It’s the best of both worlds: energizing without being overwhelming, and calming without knocking you out. This makes it an ideal strain for those who want to stay productive while still enjoying a potent, flavorful smoke. Final Thoughts and Invitation 🎥✨ The Runtz F1 has proven itself to be a true connoisseur’s strain—a perfect blend of flavor, aroma, and effects that’s both complex and satisfying. This was a journey that showcased the importance of patience, precision, and care, from germination all the way to the final cure. If you want to dive deeper into the entire process, from the first week of veg to the final trim, I’ve documented it all on my YouTube channel. Join me there for a closer look at how this incredible strain came to life, and learn more about the tips and techniques I used to bring out the best in these plants. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey, from the community to the amazing brands like Gro Diaries, TrolMaster, Aptus Holland, Kannabia, and more. Your support and tools have been invaluable. Remember, the magic is in the details—so never stop learning, growing, and enjoying the fruits of your labor.

It's finally here 😀. Both phenotypes are in the fermentation phase 😍. The grow was a lot of fun, so I thought I'd make an Iolator hash out of leaves and a little bud and a little oil out of both phenotype buds. Cannabis: The grow: Both grew beautifully. Your stretch was normal and it didn't cause any problems. Feeding : You received GHSC bio Grow once in the vegi phase and GHSC Bio bloom twice in the flowering phase. GHSC enhancers were added every 2 weeks. That was just the right amount for both : 1:. Optic: The appearance of Phenotype 1 is almost completely purple 😍. Pheno 2 is coated a bit purple with a mixture of silver from the resin :-). Smell / taste Pheno 1 tastes very fruity. You can really say that it tastes like a tangerine in the finish : 1:. Pheno 2 also tastes a little fruity but with its distinctly stronger note in the Kush direction. Both very tasty : 1:. Storage: The cannabis is stored in glasses in a dark place where the temperature is between 19-22 degrees. The first 2 months of fermentation are boveda packs 62% in the jars. Then the 58% come in. Since I was in the mood for a few specialties again, as mentioned above, I also made Hash Oil and Ice Oilator hash. Let's start with Video 1 (BHO) Hash Oil production: Hash Oil: Process: Small grated cannabis goes into the Dexso tube. Below is a container in the PTFE film that serves as a base so that the oil can be easily removed at the end. At the top we give the Dexso gas through the Dexso tube filled with cannabis. The result is a mixture of the gas and the cannabis oil. We put the bowl with the mixture in a hot shot of water but make sure that no water comes in at the top. We let the whole thing simmer for 20 minutes so that the first gases can evaporate. Then everything goes into the vacuum chamber so that all remaining vapors can really escape and we have a pure product 😁. The whole thing is carried out for 2-3 days until the oil is ready 😀. I can only recommend everyone to vaporize oil in a dabbing rig 😍. Taste: The taste is extremely delicious. In the finish, it tastes much more like mandarin than the buds 😀. Optic: The oil is very shiny to matt. If you pull it apart, it becomes light as honey :-). If you roll it up, it's very conceit. Consistency: The oil will become a little harder in the silicone storage after a short time. However, if you take it in your hand, it can be pulled and kneaded very easily after a few seconds. That was it with the oil production. So let's continue with the Ice o Lator 😀. Making the Ice o Lator: I took all the remains of the leaves and placed them in the small net. Then the IO maker is first made about 1/3 full of cold water with water. I add 3-4 kg of ice cubes and wait about 15 minutes until the water is below 0 degrees. As soon as the temperature is reached, I put in the net with the leftovers and set the timer to 15 / on and 10 / off. I run the whole thing 3 times. Then the complete broth is passed through the sieves (160, 120, 73 and 25) in a bucket. After sifting everything is spread out on a ceramic plate and poked very small with a knife. The whole thing comes in a dark place and is then allowed to dry for about 3-4 days. As soon as the hash has dried, it comes into the press for a few hours at a little temperature. The result is a kneading oily Ice o Lator 😍😍😍. Optic: The optic is partly reminiscent of that of oil :-). Consistency: The ice o lator has a very soft consistency :-). You can roll up small sausages while smoking 😁. Taste: The taste is very medicinal. But very earthy and smoky finish : 1:. All the screenings are very good but the 25 and 73 are the best 😃. That was it with the production to see everything again in Video 2. So we come to the end of a beautiful passage ☺️. Finally, I would like to say that I would like to thank Sweet Seeds for the sponsorship and for providing two such great genetics 🙏🏻. If anyone has any questions about this type, oil or ice, I will answer as soon as I can. I wish you all a lot of fun with this big update :-). Have a nice start to you and your families into the new year and everyone stays healthy 🙏🏻. Let it grow 🍀 MadeInGermany You can buy this Strain at : https://sweetseeds.es/de/red-mandarine-f1-fast-version/ Type: Red Mandarine F1 Fast Version ☝️🏼 Genetics: Red Poison Auto®️ (SWS39) X Tangie (California Orange x Hybrid Skunk) : 1: Vega lamp: 2 x Todogrow Led Quantum Board 100 W 💡 Bloom Lamp : 2 x Todogrow Led Cxb 3590 COB 3500 K 205W 💡💡☝️🏼 Soil : Canna Coco Professional ☝️🏼 Fertilizer: Green House Powder Feeding ☝️🏼🌱 Water: Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC. Add Cal / Mag to 0.4 Ec Ph with Organic Ph - to 5.5 - 5.8 .

as the second week of June is just on it's end and the weather has had it's ups and downs with a lot of rain and some nice sunny days the plants keep growing day by day. The tallest plant reached a height of 86 centimeters or 33.85 inch so i'm getting close to the 1 meter mark. But hopefully they will grow much bigger as they have plenty of time left. Last year i a grew Blue Dream and a Chocolope in pots which reached a total height of 1,38 meter, which both yielded 30 grams each. What i should mention about the plants from last year is that the seeds weren't bought but came out of a friends weed. So this year it was all out with premium seeds, more knowledge and experience, great soil and hopefully the best weather

Room is almost there Flood table coating was completed this week. Took forever to cure in the colder weather, but it is looking great now. Normally I wouldnt use this stuff because it is $200 per gallon, but since Im in the industry, these expired sample cans didnt cost me a cent and provides a much more durable, reflective, cleanable and puncture resistant alternative to plastic. Im very happy with the table overall, it cost me very little to build I installed the fan and carbon filter, moves about 750 cf per minute. Its a bit loud, but its huge, so what are ya gonna do? My dutch bucket pails are slowly being collected from my local coffee shop. I need 4 - 8 more. Ive got all the hardware to set up the watering system, so I will work on that in the coming week

~ WEDDING CHEESECAKE FAST FLOWER by FastBuds ~ Well fam, here we go again with another epic strain from FastBuds Fast Flowering stable. After having such tremendous success growing their Gorilla Cookies Fast Flower outdoors last year, I've decided to run another of their fast flowering strains outdoors this year... Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower! The best description of this awesome cultivar comes directly from my friends at FastBuds which is as follows: "A delight for the mind and body: Wedding Cheesecake FF (Fast-Flowering) is a delicious strain that offers XXL yields in a 7-8 weeks flowering cycle. This terpene powerhouse produces loads and loads of mouth-watering vanilla-creamy-cookie-scented terps with hints of citrus and cinnamon. In addition to its delicious aromas, this variety grows very well in both indoor and outdoor setups, yielding up to 650 g/m2 without extra maintenance, making it the ideal strain for beginners as it allows you to maximize yields while minimizing work. This super-fast feminized photoperiod version offers upbeat and energetic yet deeply relaxing effects that are perfect for consumers looking for a heavily focused, motivating, and creative high. It’s the ideal strain for those needing that extra energy boost to start a busy day on the right foot. Wedding Cheesecake FF boasts chunky, large-sized buds with a thick layer of silvery-white resin and bright orange hairs scattered all over: that just screams ‘quality’. The lime-green flowers sparkle with an array of hues ranging from dark to light green, to magenta and purple, and reek of a delicious aroma that’ll remind you of fresh store-bought cheesecake. This is an XXL hybrid that grows extremely tall in height, reaching up to 3m with one huge main cola and multiple long side branches that can withstand enormous yields of up to 650 g/m2 with ease. Wedding Cheesecake FF is extremely resilient to the elements and can be grown in almost every climate as long as you’ve got the space and basics covered, making her an excellent choice for those looking for large-scale harvests with a quick turnaround time without much effort." ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Setup: This is going to be an outdoor grow, but I have started the Wedding Cheesecake FF indoors as our weather is still too cold to put her outside (nighttime temp's dipping regularly into the 30's℉). The plan is simple... let her grow inside under a 19/5 light schedule until the nighttime temperatures stay above the mid 40's℉, at which point she'll be moved outside and transplanted into the soil which I have already setup and inoculated with beneficial microbes, and then let the fun begin!🤪💚 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weekly Updates: 5/3- Week Six is here and the Wedding Cheesecake Fast Flower by FastBuds is on a mission! Yesterday, I spread straw over the entire mound of soil and surrounding area to help keep the soil from drying out so fast and the watered with well water through a hose. 5/5- I'm noticing that something has taken a likening to the plant and is eating holes in her shade leaves. I went ahead and sprayed her down with Neem oil and will keep an eye out to try and determine what/who the culprit is. 5/7- Rain showers today handled the watering duties and all I did was to add some straw to a couple of bare spots on the mound. 5/9- I'm not seeing much in the way of any new damage to the leaves of the Wedding Cheesecake FF and I am continuing with the Neem oil preventative along with spreading some powdered cayenne pepper around the base of the plant to take care of any slugs that may think of trying a taste of cheesecake! There's another week gone by for this lady. The weather is getting better by the week and her growth is responding to it. The next weeks should be fun! Stay Blessed! Thank you for checking out my diary, your positive comments and support make it all worthwhile! 💚Growers Love!💚😎🙏

Salutations, fellow cultivators and botanical enthusiasts! Welcome to the First Week of Flowering Report for our beloved Jealousy in the Power Buds competition. The journey thus far has been nothing short of spectacular, and now, as we transition into the flowering phase, the excitement is reaching new heights. To kick off this week, I decided to don my horticultural surgeon's hat and perform a series of strategic maneuvers on our green queen. The week began with a daring move – a couple of toppings to encourage a more bushy and compact growth structure. It's like giving Jealousy a little green haircut, shaping her into a voluptuous, floral masterpiece. But that's not all, my friends! A defoliation extravaganza ensued, where I carefully removed some of the larger fan leaves. Now, I can almost hear you asking, "Why on earth would you do that?" Well, it's all about optimizing light penetration and airflow, ensuring that each bud site receives its fair share of sunshine and fresh air. It's like orchestrating a botanical ballet, where every dancer gets their moment in the spotlight. Now, brace yourselves for the grand finale – taking some cuts. I know, I know, typically, we'd ease into these practices, but time is of the essence, and I wanted to put Jealousy's genetics to the ultimate test. The cuts were taken with the precision of a master sculptor, each one destined to become a clone, a green offspring preserving the essence of our marvelous Jealousy. And let's not forget the star of this green show – Jealousy herself. She's embracing these changes with open leaves, responding to the toppings and defoliation like a botanical maestro. It's like watching a symphony unfold, where each note played by nature results in a crescendo of growth and vitality. As we navigate this first week of flowering, let's tip our virtual hats to Zamnesia and Plagron for paving the way for this thrilling Power Buds adventure. Their contributions are the backbone of our horticultural success. A round of applause to the Grow Diaries community – your shared wisdom and green camaraderie elevate our collective knowledge. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your flowering phase be abundant with resinous wonders, and may the fragrance of success linger in your grow rooms. Here's to a week of strategic moves, green transformations, and the anticipation of a blooming spectacle. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! As always, thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all. This journey of mine would just not be the same without you guys. The love and support are very much appreciated, and I feel honored and blessed with you all in my life !!! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of .

Looks absolutely awesome. This is my first photoperiod and you can really tell the difference in density and overall quality. She did 35g dry. So I achieved less than 1€/g cost per gram for the frist time! The biggest factor obviously beeing the shorter light cycle compared to the autoflowers I usually run. To save cost it might be smart to give the autos 12/12 as well. I will stick to 18/6 tho. Total Runtime: 82 days -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Set up cost (fixed costs) -Lamp: 40€ -Timer: 3,5€ -Pot: 4€ -Total fixed costs: 47,5€ Given 5 years (or 15 grows) usage time translates to around 3,17€ per grow in materials. Variable costs: -Seed: free (gift) -Soil: 6€ -Fertilizer: 3,50€ -Power: 15,21€ -Total variable costs: 24,71€ -Total costs per grow: 27,88€ -Cost per gram: 0,80€/g

day 22: the plants are beautiful, they are all starting to produce trichromes.. no sign of deficiencies! I did one of the last defoliations. the smells are starting to appear for some, the ones that struck me are: - code red #1 and #2: strawberry and cream terps.. a bit like strawberry milk! it's crazy - B45: citrus and bug terps.. on a background of exotic fruit and gas! it's incredible - LA vanilla cake: vanilla ice cream terps - Cherry gar see ya #4 clone: a puree of exotic fruits, especially mango and pineapple.. I'm a fan my two papayas have herm, I found some bananas.. I really don't understand, they are in the perfect ecosystem!! I removed the bananas and left the plants for the moment, to be continued in my flowering TCO, I put: - kelp hydrolysate - epsom salt - bat guano - mealworm guana - castor bean shell ash - palm ash - vermicompost - blackstrap molasses - elycitor -Yeasts Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Bottom right: Papaya Bang Bang #1 Bottom middle: LA Vanilla cake #2 Bottom left: Papaya bang bang #2 middle right: Code red # middle: cherry gar see ya #4 clone middle left: White runtz x Hollywood Top right: Code red # Top middle: B-45 Top left: LA Vanilla Cake #1
