Easiest week so far, no problems just growing. I did spray some neem oil on my soil a few days a go to keep pests out of the fox farm soil. Week 4 will bring in topping after the next node grows in, should be 2 or 3 days. Also towards the end of the week after she recovers from topping I will begin LST. Will provide pics throughout the week
Posted first vid in real light not my 600 watt LED. Mainly for health purposes. This will be so interesting to see how blueberry will develop after an accidental FIMing lol.
Personal Note: Wait to top when there is a full mainstem and not barely new growth. Meaning wait til the new growth has 2 fan leafs spread out, and not when they are just leafs barley sprouted from the main stem. Rookie mistake number 1 so far at the end of week 3. Or maybe time will tell if blueberry will be gracious enough to be a beautiful big buded tree. I read where FIMing can develop up to 4 extra colas and still grow beautifully. Fingers crossed.

Things moving along nicely, aside from the humidity. My ac is a bit underpowered it seems and having trouble keeping up with the transpiration caused by so many leaves. Looking forward to a second heavy defoliation in 3 days. All healthy, all good. Autos get the chop within 14 days, taking much longer than I anticipated

we improvised with threads the mesh was badly placed but everything served and fulfilled its function, now the leaves have grown again and the mini jungle is re-formed, we really liked how the previous pruning turned out although aggressive to the plants it did not affect them they recovered almost instantly, and it works in our favor because of the space, so this is already the end of the second or the beginning of the third week, in the next one I will upload the pruning and everything as it is already at the end of almost the 3rd week of flowering, at least of the larger, the others, as you know, are 2 to 3 weeks apart, so for them it is 1 or 2 weeks of flowering, which is noticeable in their development. the risks that are written down in the diary are the fertilizer once a week, and 1 3.5-liter drum or a gallon is used, which is divided into the 2 largest and another equal gallon with a different proportion for the 5 smallest , in the newspaper it is written down of the great ones.

Bueno resumiendo cookies gelato es una variedad híbrida muy fácil de cultivar pero ojo, cuidado con los últimos riegos si no queréis perder cosecha por moho. Lo demás de 10 pegada heavy sabor increíble, cogollos duros como rocas y bañados de una gran capa de polen.
El ambiente del secado se mantuvo en 23 grados de media y la humedad estuvo por debajo de los 45% en todo momento.
Poco más la verdad estuve encantado de poder cultivar una genética tan potente .
Un saludazo que paséis un final de año increíble y por supuesto buenos humazooos💨💨💨.

I have been worried for a while about how close the plant grew to my led lights. The usual recommendation is like 16-20" above , but I can't raise my lights and this plant stretched so fast a couple colas got away from me. As you can see in the photos and video, some are as close as 6-12 inches and because this plant is a slow developer, I think it's starting to Foxtail. In response to this and preparation for upcoming harvest, I lowered the intensity of my light and changed the light schedule from 19/5 to 16/8. I've been lowering the nutrients all week and will be flushing all next week. I've been preparing for trimming and drying, only worry is keeping the correct humidity, but we'll see.

I hit it with a top dress last week after i posted:
Top Dress:
Earth dust 2-3-6 boost 2 cup per plant
Down to earth 4-8-4 1 cup per plant
20g w-20 wollastonite
20g epsom salts
4 cups black kow manure compost
Then i watered with molasses water.
Day 21 is today and resin almost doubled overnight on the acapulco gold. Its getting white out on the leaves and looks so beautiful.
I think the strawberry cough was getting bleached on the tops so i cut it back to about 60% and moved it up and will readjust once it heals up a but. still getting 1000-1200 ppfd evenly

Aloah Growmies immer mehr sieht es nach Hawaiian Snow Sativa wuchs aus!
Auch die Harz Produktion hat sichtbar zugenommen!
Der Geruch ist süß mit Wald pinenzapfen.
Good das ich sie nicht geerntet habe wegen Pollensäcke!

Día 86 (01/01/2024)
Riego solo con H2O con pH ajustado 6,21
Día 87 (02/01/2024)
Avanzando hacia la cosecha. Observo algunos tricomas ámbar 😁
Día 88 (03/01/2024)
Al inspeccionar y tocar los cogollos, vuelven a salir los aromas a skunk y naranjas. Delicioso! 😍
Día 89 (04/01/2024)
El aroma se está volviendo complejo en esta recta final, como naranjas, skunk y con toques picantes de fondo. Impresionante 😍
Día 90 (05/01/2024)
Mañana la cosecha! Hoy le tocaría riego, pero como mañana es la cosecha, la dejo con 24 horas de estrés hídrico.
Día 91 (06/01/2024)
Al final cosecharé un día más tarde. Los tricomas están prácticamente perfectos, con la mayoría nublados y alguno ámbar
Día 92 (07/01/2024)
Día de la cosecha! 😍💥💨😁
Peso húmedo 150
Increíble rendimiento para 92 días desde semilla, y con el estrés hídrico de los dos últimos días
Ahora comenzamos el proceso de secado (7-10 días) donde pondré la semana de la cosecha, y posterior curado (+30 días), tras lo que tendremos el informe de humo
Gracias a todos los que estais al otro lado de este diario!

All and all the plant was great but I would probably not grow again. It had a much slower flower time and really struggled.

Taken On Day 63, miscalculated last week they were started 12/18/17. Fat buds on the two big ones and real sticky, can't make out the smell yet but it's pretty strong at this point. Added some tnbnaturals co2 today idk how well it works but I figured I would try it out. Mainline one is a week or so behind in terms of maturity but is getting fed whatever is in the res it's hooked up to. Flushed all 3 due to salt build up early in the week which is why the tips are burnt and some calmag deficiency and yellowing. 1-2 more weeks I think.

So wer at day 87 and going strong, banana peel water as feed.
I think I'm going to give it one more week before harvest.
Definitely a 100 day seed. Smells amazing. So can not wait.

Watering with CalMag and Simplex PK Boost (1 ml/L), then lowering pH to around 6.0–6.3. Adding 5 drops of Simplex pH Down – I transferred it into a 10 ml dropper bottle (from VitaS stimulator) for easier dosing without a pipette.
Three days ago, there was a heatwave, and I left for the mountains for a few days. The plant got dried out – leaves drooped. Realized I need to upgrade the 3L auto‑watering tank – it only lasts two days max. Switched to a 5L tank, but a 15L canister with a drainage tray would be better. That would easily last 3–4 days. At +29°C, the plant drinks and evaporates at least a liter per day.
Other than that, leaves look healthy, buds are beautiful. IZI is delightfully low‑maintenance :)
Watering is done with an auto‑watering pump (1 L/min flow rate) – 5 seconds every hour. There’s also an airstone in the solution for mixing and oxygen saturation.
The plant has slowed down in vertical growth and is now bulking up the buds. I’ll continue feeding PK Boost for another 3 weeks, then a flush – and then wait for harvest.

Week 5 – Balanced Bloom & Nutrient Adjustment (16 Oct – 23 Oct)
Budshot Betty keeps pushing forward in mid-bloom. The canopy is full and even, and the buds are starting to bulk up nicely.
I kept the light at 100W / 32cm, which gives her great intensity without any stress signs.
At the start of the week she received plain water (2.7 L) to reset the medium a bit and let the roots breathe. After that, I returned to her regular feeding but slightly modified the mix because I noticed a few small rust spots on some leaves. Since I can’t check pH directly, I decided to lower the nutrient strength by about 25% from the manufacturer’s chart.
Current feed (2.7 L water):
• Iguana Juice Bloom – 3 ml/L
• Ancient Earth OG Organics – 2 ml/L
• Big Bud OG Organics – 1.5 ml/L
• CalMag (BioBizz) – 1 ml/L
She looks healthy and vibrant again — the rust hasn’t spread, and the leaves stay strong and green. The buds are swelling, pistils multiplying, and the smell is getting more intense every day.
Overall, a calm and balanced week focused on stability and prevention rather than pushing too hard.

She’s almost ready for harvest, just one more week of watching the weather, a big flush, and then it’s time. She’s looking incredibly frosty for a CBD plant; the buds are more like what you’d expect from a high-THC strain. Can’t wait to see how she tastes and what the effects are like in the next few weeks.
