HELLO GROWING FRIENDS - Please look at my Aftermovie Growvideo, which cost me about 4 hours to create. hope you like it! Day 72: The Finale 🌿🌟 It’s finally time. My very first grow is coming to an end—at least the cultivation phase. The plant is now ready for harvest, and I can’t believe how incredible this journey has been. I never expected to enjoy the whole process so much—from nurturing the plants to watching them grow and evolve. I’m absolutely hooked and can’t wait to dive into the next steps: harvesting, drying, curing, and of course, starting a new grow soon with fresh ideas and experiments! While it may not be the largest yield, the quality of the buds speaks for itself. The time, love, and care I’ve put into this grow is visible, and I’m pretty proud of the results. I’ll admit, I was a bit impatient at times (which I think every first-timer can relate to 😅), but the experience was priceless. Here are a few interesting highlights from my trimming and harvest process: 1️⃣ Dark Phase Before Harvest Two days before harvest, I put the plant in complete darkness to encourage resin production. I'm not sure if it really made a difference, but it was worth trying! 2️⃣ Wet Trim vs. Dry Trim I decided to go for a wet trim because the buds were really dense, and I wanted to avoid any risk of mold. I’ve read that wet trimming can speed up drying and may slightly impact the quality, but this is part of the learning experience. Next time, I’ll try a dry trim for comparison! 3️⃣ Yield Update Wet, the total came in at 209 grams from my plant. Trimming took around three hours, and it was actually a lot of fun, despite the time commitment. 4️⃣ Curing Plan The buds are now hanging in the tent for about 8 days. Once dried, they’ll go into jars with Boveda Packs (62% humidity) for another 3 weeks of curing. I'll update the smoke report once they’re fully cured, but I’ve already had a sample of the same strain from a friend, and I can say it’s pretty amazing. Final Thoughts on My Grow 🌱✨ As mentioned earlier, this grow has been an absolutely incredible experience, and it has definitely set me on a path to jump right into my next grow. There were ups and downs along the way, such as over-pruning, which I believe stressed the plants a bit. Additionally, I think they could have benefited from an extra week to mature. We also faced many temperature fluctuations this summer, which impacted the plants due to external weather conditions. I’m really pleased with the quality of the buds. The quantity is okay—I can’t fully gauge it yet—but I’m sure there’s more potential to unlock. I’ve gained valuable experience in what worked well and what didn’t. Overall, the countless lessons learned during this grow far outweigh the few mistakes made. I’m incredibly proud of my first results! As this long journey comes to an end, I want to thank everyone who followed along. I hope you enjoyed all the content. In that spirit, happy growing, and see you next time! 🌟

Ganadora del primer lugar en la categoría autofloreciente de la copa Litoral de Los Poetas en Chile.🏆🥇 Definitivamente en mi top 5 de preferencias ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Una genética muy estable, ya que es segunda vez que germino de estas semillas y se expresa exactamente el mismo fenotipo; tonalidades hermosas y caractericas, frutos muy apretados y macizos cubiertos de una capa de tricomas lo que le da una visual espectacular. El aroma en frasco es una mezcla de frutilla ácida y tierra con un fondo dulce 🤤 es realmente exquisito. En la fumada se repiten gran parte de los aromas pero menos dulce y más cremoso y especioso, detodas formas es un humo genial que querrás fumar todo el día..

Finished the RQS Mimos Auto grow. As this was my first grow, I definiteley experienced some dificulties along the way (PH levels, very dry and hot environment at times, ...). Still very happy with the outcome though :)

Very pleased with this grow so far, I often mess up photo periods one way or another but think im getting somewhere now. I am growing in a mixture of soil and coco with plenty of perlite and it seems to working out better than just in soil , I have also added a few worms not sure if their still allive but will find out later. The pistols are still white so hopefully they will turn amber soon. I have one more seed left of this strain so I am hopeful it will be nice. I am looking forward to seeing it chopped soon to make way for my wedding cake which will probably have to share the tent later with another auto

again ... i never realized that this much effort went into starting baby girls ... much respect for the ladies. considering she almost died from a broken taproot she is doing really well. the roots are not showing at the bottom of the pot yet, but she seems to have adopted without showing signs of stress. i helped her move from the nursery into her new home. as everything is all-new - new baby, new home, new technology, (relatively) new grower - it seems i am behind trying to get to the front. hpa is fun, i think once everything settles in, it will be very easy to maintain and grow. i have the basic parts work - the high-pressure dosing, the nutrient distribution, the drainage, lighting figured out. i need to vent the tent more to reduce the little heat generated by the lights. i seem to have a few water leaks on at least one push connector on the high-pressure tank. then i think i need to clean up the wiring and nutrient lines. then for me - the real fun can begin. i already started building a computer for this garden - i really look forward to observing the hpa system from a data point of view to understand better how to maintain the best environment for the girl as well as increase operational efficiency.

It should be noted that with the current share of blue in the spectrum, the sprout does not stretch at all, I will probably adjust in favor of red in the coming days

I think i Need More water events, with less time in between events in order to get a strong veg signal? Watering for 2min(110)ml May need 3min waterings(currently not getting runoff) I have to hand water every two days. Day 11 flo 18.5inches tall 12inches from light(moved to 16) 1300ppm Day 18 Defol Sprout chickpea(2days) Soaked 1cup for 4 hours then rinsed. Completely covered then Soaked overnight. Rinsed then poured water out and layed jar on the side for one day. Blended with water(aloe vera and coconut) Day 19&20 foilarspray Alfalfa/Chickpea SST with Kelp,aloe,coconut,silicate,microbes brewed for 1.5 days Day 21 Fed the Tea blend Leaf temp 80 65kluxx Co2 100 Plants look like they responded well to the foilar. The flowers at this stage are my best performance yet .crop steering may be working?

Looks like they've recovered from nutrient burn once I backed off the nutes. I also checked the PH after mixing the 3 parts and the Micro doesn't seem to be bringing the PH down enough, it only goes to 7.3. I use Nectar for the Gods PH down to bring it around 6.5. Some of the leaves look a little light in color and slightly burned at the tips, I think they might be light stressed even though Ive get my lights spaced a safe 24" away. I LST where I can this week. The plants are so short that its difficult to do effectively.

Week 4 – Flowering (Day 22–28) 🌸🌱 At the end of Week 3 (Day 21) we carried out a deeper round of defoliation and some lollipopping. By now the stretch is coming to an end, with the plants settling close to their final height. We’ve also stopped foliar feeding, since every single plant is now covered in developing buds. To keep everything protected, we refreshed the beneficial insects, better be safe than sorry, how we say in German, sicher ist sicher. Already in this early stage of flowering, we can clearly spot differences in structure, bud formation and even the first aromas. Some phenos are showing exceptional promise — those will be the ones we’ll highlight more in the coming updates. 🔎 Pheno notes so far: SD1-1 – balanced structure, even bud distribution. SD1-33 – tall central cola with healthy branching. SD2-13 – compact structure, promising stacking. Sativa Dream expresses an old-school sweet Afghan aroma with a citric twist, setting it apart from the rest of the room.

Salutations, fellow cultivators! Week 2 unfolds with the grace of a symphony, and the tale of my Blackberry Auto continues to captivate. The journey is both an art and a science, and every green leaf is a brushstroke on the canvas of cultivation. Our heroine has found her throne – a final 16L AutoPot. What makes AutoPots the crown jewel of cultivation, you ask? These self-watering wonders provide a dynamic, gravity-fed watering system, ensuring the plant receives precisely what it needs when it needs it. It's the epitome of hands-off perfection, allowing the plant to dictate its own hydration destiny. Transplant day is a ritual, a moment where roots meet Mycor Mix magic. This mix, a blend of mycorrhizae species, becomes the plant's ally, expanding the root system and fostering nutrient uptake. It's like giving my Blackberry Auto a superhero sidekick, enhancing her abilities and resilience. The transplantation dance continues with the application of Aptus Holland Mycor Mix on the roots and surroundings. This isn't just a transplant; it's a ritual of care. Mycor Mix establishes a symbiotic relationship, unlocking nutrients and fortifying the soil with beneficial microorganisms. It's a small act with profound effects, ensuring my plant's journey is supported at its very foundation. As the pot receives its royal guest, the soil is adorned with 75g of Aptus All-in-One pellets (NPK). This powerhouse blend provides a balanced nutrient feast, a banquet for optimal growth. The soil is further enriched with Aptus Micro Mix, a harmonious supplement that fine-tunes the nutrient symphony, ensuring every note is in perfect balance. Post-transplant, the ritual concludes with a nourishing bath – my Veg Aptus Recipe. This elixir, carefully concocted, ensures a smooth transition for Blackberry Auto. It's not just water; it's a potion that whispers the promise of health, strength, and vitality. The week embraces low-stress training, a dance where leaves are gently bent to shape the plant's architecture. Blackberry Auto, the prima ballerina, responds with joy. This technique not only encourages lateral growth but also maximizes light exposure, orchestrating a symphony of photosynthesis. As I witness this botanical ballet, I'm reminded that cultivation is a dialogue between caretaker and plant. Together, we embark on a journey where each element, from AutoPot elegance to Mycor Mix finesse, plays a vital role. Stay tuned for the continued saga of Blackberry Auto – a story told leaf by leaf, in every graceful twist and turn. 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

Hello again, Week 14 update is here and we are still packing weight not with the same speed cause i stoped feeding at the start of the week but its going awesome almost no clear heads all trichomes are milky/white. No red head yet so i decided to try and close the lights for couple of hours and then start again for the final week.im thinking from everything that i have read this far ill plain feed water 10 day and 2 days without water and last 2 days without lights that will give me 14 flush days and hoping for the best. As you can see on the pics i had to turn the lamp to the side and put another one on the opposite end to see if i can push some more weight in there the last 4 weeks so now im actually using 600 hps and 250 hps with reflectors inside a 5x5 tent. Any advice welcome ty all . 😏
