🌸 BlueBerry – Week 6 Flower Report Grower’s Journal | Zamnesia BlueBerry ⸻ 🌱 The Girls This Week Both BlueBerry ladies are now true queens, stretching big, stacking huge colas, and getting so heavy that yo-yos are holding them up. Without support, branches would fall under their own weight, which is a good sign of strong flower density but also a reminder of the importance of plant training. The frost continues to thicken, and the trichomes look spectacular up close, sparkling in photos and videos like tiny glass forests. ⸻ ⚠️ Trouble in Paradise – Bud Rot But with big flowers also come risks. This week, Bud Rot (Botrytis cinerea) showed up on BlueBerry #2. • Conditions: High humidity (65%+, sometimes higher) combined with dense flowers created the perfect environment for rot. • Detection: Early spotting saved the plant. We caught it in time before it spread too far, but it still left its mark. • Action Taken: • Carefully removed every infected area. • Isolated affected material to prevent spores spreading. • Improved airflow around the canopy by moving plants and adjusting fans. 👉 For anyone learning, here’s a great educational read by Zamnesia: Bud Rot Grower’s Guide. https://www.zamnesia.com/grow-weed/563-bud-rot-cannabis-grower-guide ⸻ 🌿 Bud Rot – What It Is & How to Prevent It Bud Rot is caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea. It thrives in humid, poorly ventilated conditions, especially inside large dense colas where moisture can hide. How to prevent: • Keep humidity lower during flower (ideally 40–50%). • Maintain constant airflow across and through the canopy. • Defoliate strategically to open airflow inside dense plants. • Avoid watering late in the cycle to reduce night-time moisture. What to do if it appears: • Act quickly. Remove all affected buds immediately. • Sterilize scissors/tools between cuts to avoid spreading spores. • Keep monitoring daily — once it appears, it can spread fast. Bud Rot is every grower’s nightmare, but also one of the most important lessons in environmental balance. ⸻ 💡 Lessons Learned (and Moving Forward) This 8x8 setup is teaching us a lot. For the next run, I’ll be redesigning the airflow system entirely to prevent these issues. For now, the plants are still thriving, and catching the rot early means we can continue with this grow. Big flowers are a blessing, but they require serious air control. We’re already working on solutions, including an AC and new placement strategies, which I’ll cover in more detail on YouTube. ⸻ 📸 The Beauty Side Even with this challenge, the girls are stunning: • Massive colas held up by yo-yos. • Sparkling trichome close-ups showing the magic of Week 6. • Heavy branches bending under the weight of their own production. The resilience of BlueBerry genetics shows through, they continue to push strong, healthy growth despite the setback. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – Week 7 What to expect: • Further bulking and resin production. • Stronger terpene expression, the BlueBerry scent growing richer. • More vigilance against humidity and bud rot, especially as flowers keep swelling. What not to expect: • Major structural changes. From here, it’s all about ripening and finishing strong. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts Week 6 has been both a celebration and a reminder: heavy, beautiful flowers need perfect conditions to stay healthy. Bud rot may have appeared, but it was caught, managed, and turned into a learning moment for this run and for future ones. The BlueBerry ladies are still shining, still heavy, still legends in the making.

SIMPLE TO GROW. BUT I GOT MINIMAL RESULTS. I THINK I GROW AUTOS BEST IN TENT. I DIDN'T GET THEM TO BECOME BIG. THEY STAYED PRETTY SMALL. AROUND 10-12 INCHES TALL AT MOST. WASN'T RESISTANT TO CATEPILLARS UNFORTUNATELY. IT'S ONLY END OF JULY. IM IN SOCAL. ITS GONNA BE A HOT LONG SUMMER. IM SURE I CAN SQUEEZE IN ANOTHER CYCLE OF AUTOS. I'LL SET SOME OUT BEGINNING OF AUG. I HAVE ANOTHER 5 PACK, I MIGHT AS WELL GROW ANOTHER BATCH.

🏆Eternity Grow Cup 2025 Plagron and Zamnesia🏆 Runtz Zamnesia Seeds - 37 days in, and our girl has spread wide, reaching 60 cm in width with plenty of branches. We gave her a little trim, and now we're considering cutting some branches, but I can't decide yet if it's the right move. Feel free to comment below on whether I should or shouldn't, and what benefits it might bring. Other than that, she's doing great, happily feeding on Plagron nutrients. Thanks again to everyone for the likes and comments. Special thanks to Zamnesia and Plagron!

Ladies and gentlemen big shout out to Herbies Seeds this purple haze auto is growing flawlessly... I will say I'm a little surprised she's not in flower already due to being in only a one gallon pot you would think the main taproot would have triggered flower by now... if she doesn't start in the next couple weeks, I might have to give her a flip and see if that works... But I think everything is okay. She's just gonna be a nice plant so far.Very impressed with growdots and recharge combo, not to mention how it has made my life so much easier to grow my ladies... I hope all you are out there doing well and so are your girls. God bless and happy growing ✌️

really this girl could of gone longer ideally. due to my other plant finishing so quickly and using the tent for drying she had to come down at the same time. she went 65 days and was showing ambers. this was my first organic grow and first time using soil. I defiantly learned a lot and cant wait to get on to my next grow. highly recommend barneys farm for seeds.

Creo que tengo el filtro caducado o roto dado que el aire que expulsa tiene el mismo olor que hay dentro de la tienda

Dry yield is sadly an estimate, as I smoked some as it cured and then sort of got my jars mixed up lol. But the top half of the plant was definitely 5.6 grams. Then I just added what I thought to be the second box of buds lol woops. 9.3g is the LOW estimate of dry weight. Either way, it'll last me ages.

Week 5 day 35 today I turned the plants 180° and defoliated not too sure if I absolutely butchered them but its done now time will tell....they've been watered straight after also I've noticed no yellow tips or deficiency on leafs all through pur which is shocking...this strain is the best one I have grown soo far I've done about 5 so far over 10 years with big gaps so learning again for sure slowly 👍 would like to grow this again soon but properly next time... temps are around 26-27 still using the cfls to keep temps up and is going well so far. Im looking for seeds for next time I want to grow but can't seem to find this strain anywhere 😕
