This girl is easy to grow and can take all sorts of punishment. The only thing she requires is a lot of nutrients, water and light.00

For fweek 11 she’s looking great with more and more ripening of the buds getting fatter every day and insane thrichome production she’s quite small build size because of the lowerlevel of scrog bit her width makes up for in height

As of day 14, the Blackberry Kush is still exhibiting it's abnormal leaf growth. I've only ever seen this on another genetically purple strain, so I am curious if there is a connection. If anyone has seen similar issues in their own plants let me know! It's growth hasn't been too bad, and I am sure it's going to continue to take off over the next week! I usually top my plants between day 14 and 21, so i am hoping it is growing vigorously enough to prevent any stunting. I haven't seen any adverse effects from temporarily switching to my plentiful dry cal-mag, so I am happy about that so far! I am still adding a similar EC worth of Cal mag (.5) so it's good to have dialed in a rough equivalent. I hope everyone is staying safe, and happy growing! 👍🌱 Day 15: the leaf growth continues to be very screwy, and even if it's at least partially a genetic issue I continue to triple check all my practices and parameters. The PH drifts up mildly in my reservoirs between cleaning/remixing of nutrients, but it is going from roughly a 5.8 up to a 6.2 (at worst) with no change in the EC/PPM. Between the lack of EC drift and lack of smell, I don't think there are any major bacterial issues. The outflow PH is also acceptable (5.8) and the outflow EC is around .2-.3 above inflow, which is also acceptable. I dug into the coco a little bit, and the medium is not oversaturated with water (it is always a bit "fluffy" with good drainage and never compacted) and the roots are white and healthy. With the healthy vigorous growth of the other Blackberry in the same conditions, it brings me back to this being at least partially a genetic issue. I looked through grow questions of other diaries for similar leaf issues, and it seemed that most were either blueberry or blackberry strains from a range of breeders. This could be purely a coincidence, but it does make me wonder. The grows with similar issues seemed to otherwise have no commonalities in how they were grown. I am going to keep trying my best with this plant regardless, so I hope it pulls through alright! Day 17: being very careful with my PH and keeping it a bit lower, to rule it out as a possible cause of the twisted leaves and less vigorous growth. I am keeping it between 5.5 and 6 for the time being to make sure there is no lock out of micro elements like boron. As per the comments, I am being more accurate be using a pH pen as opposed to drops which I may have misjudges. I topped the plant, which is definitely a risk! But I am hoping for some healthier leaves to come in, and the plant hasn't stunted so far! It has grown the number of nodes it should have for its age, it just not as filled in and lush as I would like it to be. Day 19: I have been monitoring PH especially carefully, taking a few measurements per day and keeping it between 5.6 and 5.8 (a little on the low side). The runoff is consistently under 6 as well. EC and other conditions have stayed where they should be as well. I reduced any PH drift by running the air pump for the res 24/7, instead of just for mixing and before fertigations to rule that out. But I haven't seen any overall improvements for the leaves so I am reverting back to my theory of a genetic issue with this particular plant. It's growing larger and it's stems are thickening, so I'm just going to keep it growing as well as I possibly can and see what it yields!

The first harvest of the spring session is ready: we are talking about the very fragrant, very resinous and delicious Fruit Punch Automatic naturally branded Zamnesia. ** We remind all users that we are growing two plants per strain, one worked with techniques and the other left to grow freely and beautifully to preserve its speed. Description // This plant has not had any techniques applied, it has had few human interventions but always useful. Letting the plant grow does not mean "doing nothing" but you must always keep an eye on the color of the leaves, clean up the bottom while the plant grows and let only the last 20 cm or so of each branch flower. Of course there is a range of possibilities in this but know that the more stuff you leave below the more the stuff above will be weakened, so learning to find the right balance between cleanliness and size of the buds will make you better growers. I am very satisfied with this plant and one is coming with the main lining, low but with very large flowers and even more beautiful than this one. Trichomes and Maturation // We made a careful observation in micro at 10x (and 10x x 1.6) and we noticed a good percentage of amber trichomes, the majority milky and few transparent, for us it is a great time to harvest. I do a lot of day use so I do not want to over-mature the plants, oxidize the THC and make them become relaxing. Even the best sativa matured on palal becomes more indica. I need to control the day use effect a lot. Fertilizers and Soil // We used the organic line of Plagron fertilizers the whole time, all the recommended additives and the unfertilized and organic Pro Mix soil. Calculate everything according to your needs on the site ------ https://plagron.com/ Fertilizers are available in convenient packs on the Zamnesia website --------- https://www.zamnesia.io/it/11457-plagron-easy-pack-natural.html One of the best in recent years with a very high THC level ------------------------------------------------------------------ https://www.zamnesia.io/en/10965-zamnesia-seeds-fruit-punch-automatic.html Zamnesia Brief Description // Sativa strains are very rewarding to grow, but their long flowering times and greater susceptibility to disease and over-fertilization can make them a little more difficult to manage. Additionally, their imposing heights are less suitable for indoor use and can attract unwanted attention when grown outdoors. However, with the arrival of Fruit Punch Automatic, growing sativa strains at home has become a lot easier. Combining Skunk #1, Haze and ruderalis, Fruit Punch Auto is 70% sativa dominant and produces up to 21% THC, along with a delicious blend of terpenes. Additionally, it can be grown indoors, outdoors and in greenhouses. With its bright shades of green, golden pistils and thick layer of resin, Fruit Punch Auto buds always have a great appeal. When you smoke her, you will be amazed by her flavours, aromas and effects! As the name suggests, Fruit Punch Auto boasts delicious tropical aromas reminiscent of banana, pineapple, mango and citrus. When you open the jars you will feel like you are in a tropical cocktail bar on an exotic beach. Fruit Punch Auto will delight your palate with pungent fruity notes followed by light notes of Skunk and spice on the exhale. Within minutes of taking the first hit, this powerful sativa will stimulate your mind, leaving you in an energetic and carefree state, ideal for morning or daytime sessions as well as social settings or creative pursuits. The whole world of growing and much more is on Zamnesia: just take a look at the site and you will find "all the best that nature has to offer" in various shapes and colors. --------------- www.zamnesia.com

Start of week 7, scheduled feeding in the morning. Drinking about 3qts every 2-3 days. I'm excited about the floral smell that GSC is starting to emit. I've been reading about 9-10 week flower times. I've also found amber tric's (>10%). Ordered new batteries for my jewelers loop ³⁰×, ⁶⁰×. I'm excited to get a closer look. More pictures and videos will be uploaded as the week progresses. Also added my lady friends Calla Lilies to the mix since the bulbs were sprouting in a dark closet. ☆Day 47 I'm going to try and get another 3 weeks out of this girl. Buds are visually changing daily. Any questions or suggestions drop me a line! Happy Gardening 🌱✌️🖖

Filling out the trellis net. Looks like another 2-3 weeks until I flip the ladies. Using SST’s, LABS and natural inputs for this grow. I have made some mistakes in the past using Organics, but have figured out HOW to use them for an entire grow. The vegetative state, I have never had a problem with. The transition into the first 3 weeks is when I have had the most issues. After a little research and testing, I finally have a basic blue print of how to feed plants in flower for 10-12 weeks now or shorter. Mark Bowell from Perfect Gardens on YouTube and Mr Canucks Grow from Canada are my largest information inputs. Final Thank you to Mr McGooz for keeping me in the know. 10-11: yes, some of the stalks are turning purple. This is not due to phosphorus, magnesium, or any deficiency. It is due to the light being too intense for the plants. I am at the max distance and running the light at 30% ( it’s a 600 watt 🤣🤣). Soooo yeah, that purple is going to stay for a bit. Purple with other leaf discoloration or senescence IS a problem, purple stems with NO leaf issues isn’t serious issue. Cant it be fixed? We are going to find out….Photosynthesis Plus will be on hand in the next 5-6 days. This permits the plant to USE more of the photons ( yes, I have carbon in my media). This should minimize the purple and allow me to UP THE WATTS 🗣️🗣️ 10-14: spoke to my “guide” and we made the decision to go ahead and flower these ladies. We saw how much stretch there is to be had and realized we are currently filling the trellis by 75%. We are estimating the entire 4x4 area to be completely filled. I defoliated and pruned the smaller sites off the lower areas of the plant. Not quite lollipopping, just selectivity choosing sites to keep and bones that will get in the way. For transition I am using a ratio of 1:1:1 on NPK’s to ease the flip. The ppm’s will be between 750-800. Once we reach early flower, we switch the NPK’s to 1:3:2 ( flower girl by Dr Earth OR Fish bone meal and langbenite). I switch each feeding between the two for 5-6 weeks. At week 7 we switch to 0:3:3 ( seabird guano and Langbeinite) at 500 ppm’s. Week 8 the same feed. Week 9 kelpseaweed/water Only ( these are 10 week cultivars). Thank you for taking the time to read. 10-16 😍😍😍 Plants are starting to show deficiencies!!! Yes, normally one freaks out 😂😂😂 The slight deficiency is a sign that I can go ahead and start: The Flowering Cycle. When using Organics, you have to use your eyes because nothing is specific. Meaning: you have to see when the amendments are running out to A: Top Dress B. Make compost teas. We are going the compost tea route for flower. I made a video showing exactly what I use. The ratio is 5-5-5 ( yes earlier we were going to use 2-2-2, but we found out there is no calcium or magnesium in the all purpose mix by Dr Earth…another reason to learn to read your plants).

Well I wasn't planning on doing a journal for this one but I figured because of the three leaves it might be cool to show people. I have only had this happen one time before and I was just starting out growing Micro managing and I killed it...lol...live and learn. A bit more experience now so fingers crossed.

Day 21 for the orange sherbet. She hasn't been getting the light she needs since she was so close to the bigger plants. Fixed that today though. Extended the boards that hold the plants so they can spread out more. I got them in the big room under some quantum boards so hopefully they will stay happy and start popping some pistils soon. Haven't changed the feed or water yet. They are starting to drink more so I will give them a few gallons soon

Nothing new to report really, other than that they are thriving. The heads are getting bigger and bigger and the branches are filling up with flowers. I'm going to keep the fertilizer steady at this level for this week and see them grow each day. Really a lovely process to watch this plant grow.

Week 9 Veg – White OG 🌿🔥 “The Topping Madness Begins” Welcome back, fellow growers, to another wild chapter in the White OG road trip! 🚐💨 This week, it’s all about structure, training, and control—or should I say, complete madness? Because, my friends, I went full throttle with the toppings! Did I count them? No. Did I stop to think about it? Also no. I just let my instincts take over, snipping away like a sculptor carving a masterpiece! 🏆 My vision? A massive, wide, fierce bush—one that will command attention and demand respect in the grow tent! With each topping, the lower branches gain strength, new nodes emerge, and the canopy expands like an explosion of green energy. 💡 Why top so much? • Forces the plant to spread wide instead of growing tall. • Encourages equal light distribution to all sites. • Increases potential flower sites for a bigger yield. • Strengthens stems & structure to support those future fat buds! This is plant architecture at its finest, and I’m here for it. 😎 Nutrients & Water – Keeping It Clean & Simple I’m still riding the clean wave with Aptus Holland Clean Mineral Line, and it’s keeping this girl in top form. 💎🌊 Feed Schedule: ✅ Regulator – The silica magic keeping her strong, flexible, and stress-resistant. ✅ RO Water Conditioner – Pure hydration, setting the perfect stage for nutrient absorption. ✅ All-in-One Liquid – The full package, giving her everything she needs in one smooth delivery. 📊 Readings: 📏 pH: 6.03 (Let’s call it 6.0, perfection in balance) ⚡ EC: 1.12 (Precision feeding, steady and strong) This plant is drinking like a beast now, and I love watching her transformation! Her color is deepening, the growth is picking up speed, and she’s responding to the training better than expected. ⸻ 💡 Grow Conditions – The Perfect Playground Under the FOG LED, every leaf is catching that perfect spectrum of light, while the TrolMaster keeps everything dialed in. The environment remains stable, and this girl is flourishing. 🔹 Temperature & RH: Same steady balance, keeping the plant happy & stress-free. 🔹 Airflow: Increasing to keep her breathing fresh & growing strong. 🔹 Defoliation: Light trims to expose lower growth & keep airflow optimal. ⸻ 📢 A Big Shoutout to the Whole Squad None of this would be possible without the dream team behind the scenes! 🙌 Much love to: 🔥 Seedsman Seeds – For this legendary strain that just keeps impressing me. 🔥 Aptus Holland – Keeping her nutritionally dialed in and thriving. 🔥 TrolMaster & Future of Grow LED – Precision control & lighting for the ultimate environment. 🔥 PRO-MIX Soil – The living foundation fueling these roots! 🔥 Cannakan, Grow Diaries & The Community – For all the love, support & passion we share. And of course… huge respect to YOU, whether you’re here to learn, cheer, hate, or just be curious—this space is for everyone! 🎤🔥 ⸻ 📣 Join the Journey! 🚀 This week, I’m launching something new & exciting over on Instagram, and I want all of you to be part of it! 🎥💚 So hit me up, let’s connect, and keep pushing the plant love movement forward! 💬 How do you train your plants? Topping, LST, super cropping? Let’s talk plant training styles in the comments! 👇💬 Until next time, grow strong, grow happy, and keep the passion alive! 🌱💨🔥 #GrowDiaries #WhiteOG #ToppingMadness #AptusHolland #Mainlining #PlantTraining #GrowersLove #SeedsmanSeeds As always, this is shared for educational purposes, aiming to spread understanding and appreciation for this plant.Let’s celebrate it responsibly and continue to learn and grow together! 💚Growers Love 💚 🌿 DISCOUNT CODE - SeedsmanSeeds - DOGDOCTOR 10% off 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 so joyful with you all in my life 🙏

The smaller Potter of Gorilla Glue is doing okay under the Spider Farmer G3000 light. The nutrition is a little strong for her, but I keep flushing the ph back up every few days. It's not causing any issues anymore, but needs to come up more in the substrate for flowering better. She had a selective defoliation done and fed. Then I placed her back in the tent.

Another good week here in the tent. Getting water daily. Defoliated as needed every other day. The girls are looking great and smelling great. Lots of frost coming off these girls. Started the UVB at 30 minutes and have moved up to an hour. The tests went right to two hours but I wanted to ramp it up. Will go up thirty minutes tomorrow and continue that every few days to ramp up usage. The trichomes are coming along but not milky
