I ran out of beastie blooms so I went ahead and switched to sonic blooms. It's a lot stronger than beastie so we will see if there is a difference. But here we are at week 4. Everything is going pretty smooth, I did a res change. Been changing around every 14 days I notice a little nitrogen build up if I go any longer than 14 days. Very low nitrogen feeding plant

10/28 Last 10 days or so... no more nutes, just ph 6.5 water, minding environmentals and keeping an eye out for random crap like my 15 amp breaker going out in the early AM -- but fine in the heat of the day, go figure. I added another heat pad so I am sure that is running hot in the colder temps and drawing more power. I have an idea how to fix it, I'll keep you posted. Humidity is naturally so perfect right now, weather finally helping me out. Humidity is 55% naturally and 50% in tent with no lights on. With lights on it was 33% to 40% during the day. Day temps 82 F 28 C degrees. Night temps down to the 50s F 13-14 C. So the colds temps and relatively low humidity are helping my last weeks of flower, hurray for once. Pretty excited to harvest and pensively planning and muttering about the impending curing cycle to come! Got the AC Infinity on seven, all three fans are moving air. Two seedling heat mats keeping stuff warm (kinda low tech, buy hey), little de-humidifier churning. Got five plants still flowering and not much time left before it gets cold cold! As long a weather holds I know its gonna help. Update 10/30 Mando! Anyway, new video showing what is in the flowering tent. It's hard not to get excited looking at the fruits of all this labor and time ... and money spent. It's like worse than golf or something, all I look at are new growing techniques, new tools, new lights. I have to avoid Amazon! I think the key is buying the best stuff you can afford and what you think you need, then adding 20% that way you will end up not regretting it later when your light is too weak. I ended up running three lights in a 3x3 to get the coverage and lumens I needed. Still not happy with my setup. Anyway, back to the video. Left side is Northern Lights, middle is Vanilla Frosting, towards the front all along from left to right, those are the three trimmed White Widows, and those are some dank buds... they are pungent. The VF smells like candy, the NL smells like some indica drama. The WW is almost skunky its so heavy, but not.

10/12 light to medium defoliation. Having issues with humidity so I hope this will help. Lights at 50%. Closest plant is 12in and furthest is 20. Explosive growth. Went as high as 1.4 mS/cm. Going to dial back since I defoliated a bit. 10/14 under mixed nuts at 1.080. Going to use this opportunity to flush at lower EC and add sensizyme since everyone is in some stage of flower. Defoliated and checked for wet spots. All good. 10/16 Super Cropped the 2 tallest plants. Only my second time doing this. 90% sure everything went off without a hitch. Fingers crossed. 10/19 Watered at 1.3ec. 20% runoff. Continue to defoliate as needed. Getting low on verticle space. I think I will be good. Cold front moved through so humidity is finally coming down.

Very easy plant to harvest, didn't have too much leaves, so very easy to take out fan leaves and prepare to dry.

Day23: Upgraded my box with a Humidifier and humidity meter. Still figuring out how much power should I put it on to maintain good humidity level. Overall health looks good. After some days I'll spread out it a little using LST to get more light coverage. Day24: Removed some old leaves that were mostly in shade or shading other newer leaf. Continuing LST, getting into shape. Trying to be careful with the damaged stem. Day25: All good, some more twisting. As I see, I could manage to plant in one end of the pot and grow it to other. Now its time for vertical grow and a little bit spread-out for the sides. Looking Healthy. Weather: Heavy Fog before night time Day28 More LST and full area is covered now. time to get some height

9/22 topped them at 4th node. some of them are looking better for mainlining that others. some of them i may not mainline and others i left an extra node in case i want to keep clones around. #1 is looking happy with the topping and looks really good. #2 is the only one thats been praying and is the tallest and strongest looking all around. #5 short and such tight internodal spacing that it makes it hard to see whats all there. just looks like a bunch of small leaves until they grow out. i may not mainline this one either be cause of it being so tightly packed it may make it 9/27/24 day 20 theyre growing quite well. #1 i ended up taking the bottom nodes. i was originally goi g to use them as clones later on but decided to just let her go with her 4 nodes. #5 is so tightly packed, she has like 8 mains all in such a small space, its hard to even make sense of it all.

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 ,

Hey everybody, hope all is well👊. It's been a good week, all plants are growing extremely well. Pulled Sour girl #2 out of the box and got 21 grams(dry) of small popcorn buds and 98 grams(dry) of nice sized nuggets, SUPER HAPPY😋. Harvested Sour Girl #1 yesterday, this plant turned into a monster, it was almost 40 inches tall and right around 36 inches wide💪. I never got real big buds from this plant,but I got lots of med. sized nuggets👍. I put 77 grams of popcorn buds and 460 grams of nuggets into the tent to dry.👍 Will report on smoke and taste as soon as #1 is dry, right around 7-9 days. As for the Amesia auto, I've had it growing in the gorilla tent under the new light(xs2000), just letting it do it's thing, no topping or lst, 0 defoe and 0 food for the first 3 weeks. For the flowering cycle I fed molasses and great white,humates and bloom from Dutch Sciences, that's it.. Super easy to grow and the buds are HUGE, harvested today and I got my biggest bud so far, Main Cola 100 grams wet, HOLY SMOKES😍, couldn't believe it when I put that on the scale😶. Remember, It's 420 Somewhere

All of the plants have started to flower already minus one of the Lemon Pies. Although indica she is taking her sweet time and growing unbelievably. 2 of the LSD25s have already started showing an amazing amount of black/red/purple colour on their leaves and flowers 💜💚 We have implemented some super cropping trying to prepare her branches for stacking. LsT as usual. Started using the delta 9 on the ladies too, in decreased dosage, keen to see the effect on autos. So far, mighty impressed with the consistency, vigor and resilience of them all. Slight Thrip issue at the beginning of the week, but an immediate Cannacure Foliar spray seems to have fended them off (for now?) Plenty if wonderful smells already filling up the tent, gonna need that carbon filter on the air out ASAP !

08.09.25 the first week of September was a mix of sun and clouds on the balcony. The seedsman strains continue their road to frosty flowers and the quick sherbets now also join in the tracks. Repeated H2O2 Spraying didn't fight the powdery mildew on the Sherbets enough for me to let it go, I'll get some hardware store product to have tried everything in time instead of yapping afterwards. Also I applied 100g of flower fertilizer as top dressing. Thanks to Bavarian Krauts for hooking me up with this cheaper alternative to the greenhouse feeding line, it performed very nice on the first half of flowering, now this is the dose for the last chapter of 2025 making sure nutrients last to the end of the season. There are still leaves turning yellow on the flowering plants but the amount has come down and the overall structure now seems ready to support the buds and give them good direct light as well.
