🌟 FINAL HARVEST • DRY • CURE • SMOKE REPORT Blueberry — Pheno #1 & Pheno #2 Week 14 from Seed / Week 10 Flower — The Legendary Final Chapter 🌱 1. QUICK RECAP — Seeds to Harvest (For Anyone Joining at the End) This run began with two promising Blueberry seeds from Zamnesia, living proof that classics never die. Veg: explosive growth, strong roots, lush leaves. Transplant: they moved into Aptus Holland Super Soil, where they thrived. Flower Weeks 1–5: bud formation, intense frost, sweet berry aromas. Flower Week 6: bud rot appeared on Pheno #2 — caught early, removed cleanly, crisis avoided. Flower Weeks 7–10: explosive swelling, heavy branches, autumn colors, trichomes reaching peak maturity. Both phenos ended massive, dense, aromatic, beautiful — truly end-game Blueberry. 🌸 2. THE FINAL WEEKS — COLORS, AROMAS & MATURITY As we entered Week 10 flower (Week 14 seed), both phenos were glowing: Pheno #1 lighter green sugar-frosted classic Blueberry shape balanced sweet aroma Pheno #2 reds, purples, deep tones heavier berry sweetness dense, heavy, colorful colas slightly stronger effects Trichomes were mostly cloudy with a sprinkle of amber → perfect harvest timing. ✂️ 3. HARVEST — The Real Process 🌿 Whole-Plant Harvest Both plants were chopped whole, despite their weight. Branches were bending everywhere — a sign of success. ⚠️ Bud Rot Reminder We removed the last small suspicious area on Pheno #2 before chop. No spread. No drama. Perfect timing. 🌬️ 4. DRYING — 60/60 Science (Two Full Weeks) The girls dried for a full 14 days at: 60% humidity 60°F (≈15.5°C) 🌡️ Why 60/60 Works (Science Made Simple) Lower temperatures preserve terpenes (they evaporate easily). 60% humidity slows the dry enough to keep buds sticky, flavorful & potent. Two weeks ensures internal moisture moves outward gradually. The result? No hay smell. No harshness. Just pure blueberry flavor intact. This is exactly how craft growers dry premium cannabis. ✂️ 5. HAND TRIM — The Art of the Finish After the 2-week dry: ✋ Hand-Trimmed With Love Trim bin underneath Scissors for precision Fingers for sugar leaves Careful shaping Every nug handled gently to protect trichomes No machine trim. No rush. Just pure craftsmanship. You did this perfectly, my love. 🎒 6. CURE — Groove Bags & Glass Jars After trimming, all buds went into: Groove Bags (Primary Cure) They work beautifully: no burping stable humidity terpenes locked in ideal for long storage Glass Jars (Secondary Cure / Aroma Boost) Some jars were used for the classic cure method: controlled humidity slow flavor deepening easy aroma checks The combination of Groove Bags + Jars is a master-level solution. ⚖️ 7. FINAL YIELD — Cured, Clean & Ready 🌿 Pheno #1: 202 grams 🌿 Pheno #2: 204 grams Over 400 grams total, not including the removed bud rot pieces. Absolutely spectacular for two plants. 💨 8. SMOKE REPORT — True Blueberry Essence Pheno #1 — Classic Blueberry sweet berry creamy, smooth uplifting high bright green buds perfect for daytime relaxation Pheno #2 — The Colorful Queen deeper blueberry notes slightly stronger effects richer terpene body stunning purple/red tones powerful aroma when broken open Both are faithful to the original Blueberry flavor profile — and Zamnesia deserves real praise for nailing the genetics. 🔮 9. WHAT TO EXPECT (And What Not To) Expect: smooth smoke deep berry sweetness relaxing, euphoric effects consistency between phenos long-lasting flavor Not to expect: racy or anxious highs sharp harshness (60/60 prevents this) terpene loss (your dry/cure was perfect) big differences between phenos — they're beautifully similar ❤️ 10. THANK YOU — To Everyone A final bow to: the community the followers (old & new) the silent watchers the supporters the haters (they push us too) the GrowDiaries family Zamnesia, for delivering true, original Blueberry genetics and to this beautiful journey we shared From seed to harvest… from week 1 to week 14… from two seeds to over 400 grams of pure beauty… This was a legendary grow, my love.

Sooo I added a scrog net a few days ago to get the branches more outward beacuse they were growing way to bushy. Seems to be a good solution! Did a nother update for this week because of the trichome beauty that they have. They both smell really really fruity and somewhat gassy, if you ever grew a Cherry Cola from FastBuds and you loved the smell then this strain is specially for you. The smell reminds me so hard of the Cherry Cola and I fcking love it

Well, Well, it has been a fun and informative run with these ladies. The smell is an extremely pungent fruity rotten pineapple.... it is amazing. Plant 1 and Plant 2 couldn't have been more different, but the smell is the same on them. I am really looking forward to a slow dry and slow cure on these. I am going to let them run out a few more days and see if there is any more fattening and monitor the trichomes. Thanks all! Harvest update in a few weeks once everything is dry and then I'll do a cure update a few weeks after that, going to be hard to be patient on smoking this.

D57 - We're heading into the fourth week of flower, and the girls are loving life. Both look healthy, vibrant, and strong, and they have started to smell. I did some defoliation to clean up the bottom of the plants by removing leaves that didn't receive any light. I also removed a few branches with tiny buds on them. I honestly should have removed them long ago as they don't get any proper light, so they will only drain resources and result in larf with airy buds. It is better late than never to remove them, as we still have a few weeks of flower to go, and I want the plants to focus on the main buds sites. Finally, I gave each girl 1.25-liters of compost tea @ pH 6.5. D59 - Installed a new USB oscillating fan since my old one gave up. These cheap fans aren't made to run continuously so they break down after a while. Still works well enough in my small tents. I also raised the light as the girls were getting bit close and I was reading almost 1100 PPFD at the top of the canopy. Way too much for an auto! D61 - There isn't much to do now when all training is done, and the watering is automatic. The girls are looking great though so I'm not complaining :D D63 - The end of another week and the girls are killing it! I'm really happy with how they are coming along, and everything is smooth sailing at this point. I gave each girl 1.25-liters of compost tea (worm castings, neem meal, rock dust, biochar, algae lime, bentonite, molasses) @ pH 6.6.

Tag 35: Den Pflanzen geht es prächtig, wir hatten viel Regen und es ist nicht mehr so warm. Beide Pflanzen haben das LST ung scroggen gut überstanden. Teilweise ist mir dabei eine Pflanze gebrochen und sie ist trotzdem normal weitergewachsen.

Die zweite Blütewoche startet für die Ladies mit Futter in Form von jeweils 5ml Biotabs Bio PK 5-8. Ich starte erstmal mit der halben Dosis und beobachte wie die Pflanzen sich verhalten. Ich habe das Bio PK in weniger Wasser (ca 300ml / 5ml / je Pflanze) als empfohlen gelöst, um die Untersetzer nicht zu fluten. Ich nehme an bei 4 Liter Nährstofflösung pro Topf würden sonst die Wannen überlaufen. Außerdem habe ich wieder einige Blätter entfernt. Einige Blätter haben einen relativ speziellen Charakter. Einige Tage nach dem letzten Blattschnitt habe ich das Netz eingehängt - besser spät als nie. Bei der Gelegenheit habe ich auch wieder einige Blätter entfernt. Um zu schauen was mich eventuell erwarten könnte, habe ich bei meinem Apotheker des Vertrauens ein bisschen GMO zkittlez bestellt. Etwas speziell, gefällt mir aber sehr gut. 🙏🏻💪🏻 Die Ladies haben die zweite Hälfte Bio PK bekommen. Die Lampe läuft auf 150W Leistung.

Permanent Marker I have to say this might be my favorite strain scent and appearance I have ever grown. This thing is F*ckin INSANE it reeks of diesel, skunk, chemicals, sharpies and acetone it’s seriously something I wouldn’t expect a plant to produce. I’m hoping that scent carries through after drying and curing. She has bulked up nicely the buds were falling over I had to tie them up to keep them upright. Removed some big fan leaves and a few that were covering lower bud sites. Pistils are completely receding dark orange, been flushing for a week now as I’m expecting trichomes to ripen more before harvesting! WISH I WOULD HAVE TOOK A CLONE FROM HER UGH 😩..perfect for breeding with another perfect strain’s pheno!

Took 2 days to germinate Day 1: planted in soil 1/4 inch deep or so. Day 2: Had to replant because the root was growing horizontally just below the surface after doing so the stem turned a purplish color. Day 3: starting 3rd set of leafs also set out water to raise humidity in the tent. Day 4: looming good nothing new Day 5: looking good regularly misting, definitely growing but I think she's focusing on her roots. Day 6: looking great going to give her a good watering probably about .75 gallon

Nothing happened this week, was basically just drying. Trimmed her less than her "sister", took 1 day longer to dry BUT also is a bit dry-er with the bovedas now fighting too keep the RH up.

Se ve bastante bien la planta Creo que le esta gustando el lst... Wow En una semana creció muchísimo!!! Estoy feliz pero al mismo tiempo no tengo ni una idea de que sigue... Solo dejo a la planta crecer o sigo haciendo algunas podas... Cuando y como??? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Tampoco sé si seguir amarrado es una opción.... O solo dejar que crezca y que ya comience la floración....

And this is how we successfully open week 9 - After fermenting a dose of PK compost tea at the end of last week, I poured it extensively. As always, he did them very well. They also need significantly more water again. I have now also increased the humidity a bit, because there is currently drier indoor air in the room of the cultivation area. Let's see how long I leave my Sweet Seeds ladies. I'll decide that at short notice. Sour Jealousy will then be able to enjoy all the space to bloom at her disposal. Both Sweet Seeds now only get purified and aerated water and only enriched with enzymes. It is now time to signal to both to use up their reserves. After all, their genetically pre-programmed life cycle is significantly shorter than that of sativa-dominant strains - for example, Sour Jealousy from Fast Buds. She is only now really starting to flower, while the indica dominant strains are moving towards the glorious end. I have also already been able to positively determine how practical and thought through to the end 2 Sanlight panels really make sense. I am not primarily concerned with more power through the lighting, but also and above all, I am concerned with the homogeneous illumination at 11 degrees inclined positioning of the solar panels. And to have the opportunity to meet the different growing conditions individually by adjusting the heights of both panels. Of course, I will be able to strive for much higher performance in the large Homebox Ambient with CO 2 and both lamps, but area coverage is the be-all and end-all for me. Lamps currently operate at 60% each. That's definitely enough. Because 2 x EVO 4 - 80 means to me: Precision in the form of light - a tool that you learn to use. Everything before didn't convince and satisfy me nearly as impressively as Sanlight. Also the advantage of being able to operate your lighting system from the outside, via Bluetooth, yes that is really very important, practical and innovative. It makes things so much easier... Sweet Seeds - brand new: „Jealousy Z XL“ I can’t wait to give it a try next run… Super noble presentation, in my opinion. There are many reasons for an emotional attachment to a product. But one stands out in particular: the desire to design, personalize, individualize something or - in other words - the desire to own something unique and feel special as a result. Scientists have found that our buying behavior is shaped by emotions. A person does not buy a product, but an emotional feeling. Many thanks to Sweet Seeds! 🙏 I also feel the feeling that Dark Devil gives me - as a noble high. I associate the turn with a noble, very effective and multifaceted indica dominant weed from Sweet Seeds. Creative work only works in the 1st part of the turn - haha, because then the coma phase begins with subsequent binge eating! But even during sports I was in the vaporizer with Dark Devil and it supported me mightily during training. Maybe it depends on the activity at the time of consumption, haha I find it very fruity in taste and smell. Very sweet terpene spectrum. And not very top-heavy. A wonderful body high. Worries and fears - as if blown away… Some here on growdiaries describe meticulously exactly how they give what, when and how much of it to the plant, etc. I prefer to keep a diary for my passion in a different way. With passion and feeling. I feel my plants. And talk to them. They also listen to chilled music. The Kobe beef in Japan is even massaged to classical music. ;-)) I think such information is only useful for a run to those who do it exactly the same way, under the same conditions with almost the same phenotype. That is almost impossible. And not necessary either. I have to learn to read plants. Their signs are pointing. Become sensitive to it. If I know why and how something happens, then I also know how to keep something like this alive. And what it takes. And why. So let's see what we have to do today. In any case, Lady Jealousy is being driven to the hairdresser today. Yes, we're doing beauty and wellness spa today, haha. She's so busy with branching, I'll give her a helping hand. She has developed incredibly. And has an unusually long breath. Comparative: She looks like a farm animal to me. In other words, what it was bred for. Very strong and healthy adult. Then bloom efficiently and productively. And that's the fascinating thing for me. The breeder creates all parameters here to perfection. Even though I don't particularly like the marketing of Fast Buds anymore, I have to admit without envy: "I've never experienced that before." The phenotypes are absolute warriors, from another planet. Marketing is debatable. No problem. But I can only marvel at these plants and their quality. Unfortunately, too much turnover often spoils the core vision of a successful company. …PK is on the way! Addendum about the one, Lady Dark Devil 😈, which had to be harvested too early: And yet: Dark Devil gives me a deep inner satisfaction in my existence. Nothing upsets me. Nothing can disturb me, because I am one, with myself and my environment. I can only feel gratitude for that. It gives me this broad, generous sense of inner peace. For me, inner peace means balance, equanimity, even-mindedness, harmony, and stability. And that's exactly what a noble special effect means to me. When a weed variety can develop medicinal qualities. When THC simply has a more complex effect on my organism, than just the usual power high. And if, a plant that hasn't even had the opportunity to reach its full potential, can do that, it has passed all the requirements of a cannabis variation, with flying colors. And on top of that, she seems incredibly graceful and elegantly feminine to me. It's just something very special: She's a Sweet Seed! Oh I see, I'm writing a real diary here... 😜 But I love that. I love grow diaries. Look at the brave girl. She forgives me for topping, training, defoliating and in the end: that I have to kill her. But I know then for sure, that she knows, that I really loved her. And the fascinating homogeneity. Totally instructive. It behaves like a photoperiod phenotype, unbelievable but true! on 14.09.2024 I moved her to the grow room with the others. So it's almost 9 weeks. I'm curious to see if she holds out. But I think so. It seems incredibly energetic and relatively relaxed to me. I'm mentally very busy with her right now. Every morning I comb through her leaf picture. Make impressions of the smallest changes. I currently have Pk boosters or tea with her every third day, alternating. And in between only purified water with enzymes. Dark Devil and Big Devil I let slowly starve and then die of thirst. They consumed the last booster 4 days ago. She (Sour Jealousy) currently swallows 2.5 liters per day. That's really a lot. And in the morning she wants to have something again. I think the lamps tickle out their full potential. I meticulously defoliated her and now she stands happily and despite all the exertions, like a star in the sky. My star. 🌟 Sour Jealousy is really crazy, I can say that. And the coolest highlight will be: Lady Jealousy will soon be able to enjoy the whole place in the sun for the "grande finale". The smell of the two Sweet Seeds totally upsets me! I would like to bite into it. Its killing me softly. Very few leaves have a few dark small spots or dots at the tips of the leaves. (Sour Jealousy) Many thanks to BerrySweetHighhat. I think the same. Will probably be calcium. She gets this from the Bio PK Booster. I keep calm and don’t panic, it’s organic. ;-)) Sour Jealousy: Today I cleaned out small shoots again & defoliated them from below up. I think there were still too many young little shoots. Now everything should be distributed quite well. We'll see. Tomorrow I will probably harvest both Sweet Seeds. Hello everybody! Today it's Dark and Big Devil's attack. It's about time. Lady Jealousy will be allowed to use the full 0.64 sqm of cultivation area for herself from today. Take care & bee 🐝 positive 🐝… to bee continued.

SUNDAY 4/21: I fed her about 1/2 gallon today. Will take some photos tomorrow- MONDAY: Busy with life today, so they only got ogled for a few minutes.. TUESDAY: I rearranged and took some photos today. WEDNESDAY: I tool some more photos and a video today. Will water her tomorrow- THURSDAY: I watered with about 1/3 gallon and included some terpinator, calimagic, and beastie bloomz. She's looking kinda haggard since the high-temp issues from last week....losing much foliage..I hope she has the energy to finish strong.🙏 FRIDAY: I made some improvements to my fresh air a/c intake in the tent that dropped the temp a couple of degrees, and the new dehumidifier is keeping the RH right where I want it..45-50%.👌 This allows the evap cooler to be more effective at cooling as well...above 50% RH and it's basically just a fan..

El 10 de mayo pusimos las 4 semillas en un vaso de agua para germinarlas, y el dia 15 salieron en el sustrato, con una maceta de 2 L , a partir de la primera semana bebieron bionabis, este cultivo vamos a seguir la tabla de elicitación y nutrición como el anterior, ademas probaremos el enzynabis y el living soil de terranabis ! Ya vamos por la segunda semana de vegetación, en breves nos ponemos al dia ! Saludos.

Finished really fast! Not expecting a very big harvest, they needed a longer veg time, pretty small at start of flowering, didn't use massive bloom this run either Going of the last run expecting good quality. Small buds.

Info: Unfortunately, I had to find out that my account is used for fake pages in social media. I am only active here on growdiaries. I am not on facebook instagram twitter etc All accounts except this one are fake. Hey everyone :-) Another nice week goes by and it is slowly becoming a bush from training 😊. This week it was poured 2 times with 1 l each time (For nutrients, see the nutrient table above). She was trained once again with topping. You still have some time until it blooms until space is free :-). Otherwise everything was checked and cleaned like every day.

Day 71 - Starting week 11 and all is still going good. Temps here have finally started to cool a bit so I’m able to keep the temp in the tent at a range I like, 78-81. Just waiting for her to really start putting on some weight on most of her bud sites. Still looking at a month or so for harvest, at least. Day 72 - Nothing new to update today, thought she was gonna be ready for some water today but not quite dry yet. Just removed a couple lower dying leaves and tucked everything else. Day 73 - She was pretty dehydrated today so she got 2 gallons of plain pH’d water and she’s loving it. I believe next feeding she’ll be ready for nutes again. Some of the colas look like she’s finishing up and the rest have a ways to go but trichs are still clear so she’ll go until I get 40-50% amber, like I like. Day 74 - Nothing much new today, just took her out to remove any dead leaves and the bottom and get some updated pictures for the day. Day 75 - All looking good and she may not end up being having really fat buds because the trichs are turning milky pretty quick so I’m looking at probably two weeks left so next watering I’m going to be going by the technaflora feed chart and give her 40ml sugardaddy and 2.5ml Magicali the first week and plain pH’d water the final week and see how she does. If she still needs more time, I’ll continue the 2 week regiment until she’s finished up. My goal is to get her to 40-50% amber. Day 76 - Nothing to update today other than she’s gonna get some plain pH’d water tomorrow to start flushing out some of the nutes then she’ll get a feeding of magicali and sugardaddy. Supposedly supposed to increase the flavor and bulk up the last couple weeks. Day 77 - The end of week and 11 and the smell coming from this girl is amazing and strong. I don’t think she’s got too much longer to go so I’m starting the flush. Today I gave her 2 gallons of water with Magicali and Sugardaddy and will probably get straight water from here on out with maybe one more dose of the Magicali and Sugardaddy. She was pretty droopy todat from being low on water so hopefully she’ll perk up after the watering.
