🌟 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.

Week 5 At the beginning of the week I set up and tested auto-pot system for 2 plants using the same reservoir of feed water. All connections work fine with no leaks, the floats are free moving and work as intended, I have air pumping into the reservoir and all connections are good there as well. I used black tubing for the feed lines and placed towels over he reservoirs to block out light from the water in the system. After all checks were made, I placed the plants in the pots and turned the system on. At the end of the week I had 3 new nodes of growth since the last topping, so I topped for the third time (4 cuts this week on the 4 set from last week and also removed the lowest). I now have 8 colas set. Feed this week was 400ppm total before add-ins. I used 360ppm Veg concentrate mix (recipe week 2) and 40ppm Bloom concentrate mix (recipe above). However, I also added 1ml/gal of CaliMagic (General Hydroponics 1-0-0) to all feeds and ph balance this week was for 6.3. Next week will consist of training the colas to go where I want them to. I plan to train 6 to the outer ring and 2 to the inner ring. Once I have enough new growth I will set the tomato rings and possibly start wire training. Feed will increase in total ppm and bloom mix and I plan to reduce ph to the 5.8 range slowly, so about 6.1 this week and 5.9 next before flip on week 9.

Day 64 02/09/24 Monday Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 with calmag. Day 66 04/09/24 Wednesday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 today only. Smell is really coming on strong now!! Day 68 06/09/24 Friday Feed again today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only. Day 69 07/09/24 Saturday De-chlorinated tap water pH 6 only today. Mould 😔🤦‍♂️ Absolutely gutted!! Had a very humid past 3 days, wet with no wind... 2 plants have suffered... Auto Orange Bud has lost a side branch. Auto critical orange punch has lost her main colar, and 2 sides, the yeild is going be to now be appalling, but this is due to environmental, not the seed or genetics, as far as they go this was one of the strongest and biggest in the group Day 70 08/09/24 Sunday (END of week) Feed today using de-chlorinated tap water pH 6. ☠️ Auto critical orange punch 🍊👊 Had to remove completely, after isolating the rest of the greenhouse, mould persistently grew on her. The remaining plants after 2 days isolation have been moved indoor to finish underground 600w hps and a more controlled environment.

This is my third time growing this cultivar. The first was the seed plant, the second was in a 5 gallon pot that got too large, and now this is one. It's my favorite daytime herb in my collection. Has a lemon tea like scent and flavor, good buzz, not overpowering, but doesn't make me sleepy either. The last time I took her at 87 days, but like I said that plant was way too big. I have found that flowering in 2 gallon pots provides a much more manageable experience all-around. This is all head stash. I am harvesting every 30 days or so, and I certainly do not require 6 ounce plants to satisfy my demand. Much more to come, stay tuned.

FBA2502 Plants 1-6 Week 7 May 11– 17 FLOWER 3 Nutrients : Micro 25 ml Gro 10 ml Bloom 30ml CalMag 30 ml Recharge 10ml Green sensation 16.5ml Power buds 7.5 ml 5/11 PH 6.56, PPM 1560, temp 69 2ltr each 5/12 PH 6.31, PPM 1120, temp 68 1 ltr each 5/14 PH 6.66, PPM 1280, temp 70 1 ltr each 5/15 PH 6.66, PPM 850, temp 72 1 ltr each 5/11 Defoliation, feed, pics & videos I made 4 gallons, used 3 to water then poured the runoff back into the rest in the bucket. The next feeding, I added a gallon of tap water to residual and ph to 6,31 temp 69 & PPm 1120. Did the same on 5/14 and 15 using up the remainder of the feed solution. I must monitor and control the tent environment manually. For the past month, the humidifier has been an issue putting out way too much humidity; often leaving water in the bottom of the tent. In addition, the temperatures are also out of control. I added an AC last week to keep the temperature below 80. I finally determined the exhaust vent is also broken and has been for some time. I have been giving good reviews on the AC infinity system. However, during the time I’ve owned this tent (2 yrs), I had to replace the lights twice, fans, humidifier and now the vent twice also. Everything but the tent containment has been replaced. AC infinity does stand by their products, but they are in California, and it takes at least 2 weeks to receive the replacement. This is extremely frustrating at the critical transition to flower for my equipment to fail again. For the time being until a replacement arrives, I pulled the 4” exhaust vent from my 3x3 and hooked it up. I have the AC pushing air in and the exhaust pulling air out. This should create a neutral pressure tent environment-neither positive nor negative. I do have 3 circulating fans in the tent to move air around the plants. It looks like growth spurts have slowed and plant height has been reached. Now is the time for buds to fatten and frost up. All of them (6) are short remaining less than 3 ft. They range from 15 to 31 inches. The tallest #4 &5 and #6 have very light leaves and appear nutrient deficient compared to the shorter phenotypes. Pictures taken later in the week show fading on a few the older leaves. All are receiving the same solution and are in the same soil blend. Moving the gals in and out of the tent for their glamor shots, I bent one limb and snapped another. The bent one I taped with a splint and the snapped one I medicated manuka honey and wired it back to the main stalk. Leaves look like sativa leaning. I hope FBA2502-2 is a good daytime. I’m getting excited to see what develops in the next month or so. News Break: I’ve been informed that 2502 is FastBuds New Frostbanger and is indica for nighttime. I’m disappointed that I didn’t get a sativa to test because I really need a daytime strain. The 2 Blue Cheese plants I just grew are also nighttime. Upon opening the tent, a faint odor was detected, and some stickiness was observed during the process of defoliation. Pictures of the puffy buds even show differences. #4 &5 buds hairs are different from the others being crinklier and the others are straighter. Some like #2 &5 are showing frost on the leaves. Wow at the beginning of flower to have that much frost. They are living up to the new strain’s name. I’ve noticed that when I water, sometimes water shoots out of the side holes I the air pots. I will pack the soil firmly into the sides for future runs. Measurements: #1 15” #2 20” #3 17” #4 30” #5 31” #6 24” Your likes and comments are appreciated. Thanks for stopping by. Growers love 💚🌿 💫Natrona💫

Hey growmies, It's been four days since the last short. Today, the Pink Gelato finally started drinking water again. Looks like the cinnamon and light watering actually helped. The other plants are doing okay, but the heat’s getting to them too. I think harvest time is coming up soon – just gotta find the right moment to start drying. All three plants got two liters with Cal-Mag today. Fingers crossed they all pull through!

The smell on this one is next-level for real! I got 2–3 different phenos, but they all carry that same loud scent I’d describe it as sweet and fruity I honestly can’t wait to smoke it, and judging by the insane layer of trichomes she’s rocking, I already know she’s gonna hit hard.😝😝

Getting ready for the flowering flip. I'm interested to see what their stretch will be like, this is my first time doing extensive LST....hopefully it helped out. I'm glad to see the plants are at least pretty even in height. There's roots popping out of every piece of the fabric pots....i really wish i did a 5 gallon...i don't want to try to transplant them cause it's real difficult using a fabric pot or i have to cut the fabric. Both plants have had more yellow pale bottom leaves so I think they must be some hungry little hippos or possibly the organic nutrients need a slightly heavier dose than recommended. Happy holidays!

D71/F24 - 11.29 - There's not much to say about these two. They didn't even hiccup after the defoliation, though it does appear their stretch has just about finished. They both have fat greasy prebuds right now, and the Passion Berry has particularly long pistils. A pleasure to watch em grow! <3 D76/F29 - 12.4 - Just like holy fuck these things are monsters. 🙏🙌 Praise be to Swerve 👑, I'm astonished at the pace and vigor of these two plants

July 5th. 21 days post flip Clone#1: Got chopped a few weeks back had balls. Clone#2 Really liking this one going into flower. Buds seem to be the closest in structure so hoping to get some semi dense bugs from this one. Will see how it develops! Clone#3 Started off real small and absolutely exploded in stretch. Bud structure is interesting so far not sure how it’ll end up we will see! Clone#4 This thing has been and continues to be an absolute monster. Least dense bud structure of all three though. This one might be a sativa sativa. Mothers/father All are growing well. Going to get topped tmmr on the 6th to stunt them again to slow them down while the clones finish. All 4 clones At one point two of them were touching the light and almost all the tops were within an inch or two of the light. After this they were growing well above the lights. This caused bleaching on the ones within inches and burnt the two that touched the light. I’ve since super cropped them violently to force them back under the light. At this point all the tops are about 6 inches from the light but they seem happy. I still have one top a couple inches away that I’m using as a test to see how much light these things can handle. So far they are monsters with handling the lights. You can see the tops within 6 inches are no longer pointing leaves upwards. The one within an inch is pointing upwards to decrease its surface area. Nothing but water so far and will continue to be nothing but water they don’t seem hungry yet. Will give build a flower in a week or two. You’ll notice I didn’t provide the heights this week for the plants. At this point it’s just because how difficult they are to measure. Praying they stop getting taller within the next few days. Very little smell so far, I expect to start getting something here in the coming weeks. Gob bless and happy growing guys!

the left "nemo" is much further along than "v" on the right. began tapering back on both nutrients, after this last compost tea feed nemo is getting flushed, just RO water and finish by heavy 16. V needs another week to develop then 2 weeks to flush and finish. will probably chop nemp im 2 weeks between day 67-70 of flower, based on trichome color. after initial harvest on nemos tops im going to re-weave "v" tops thru scrog fpr better airflow, light use and allow them to fill and finish with the lower buds of nemo at probably day 77 or so, its slower rolling, much more haze pheno, both leaf shape, bud structure and smell. Nemo is much more blueberry, finishing sooner, smells like blueberry candy and has wider fan leafs.
