Been another week of crazy stretch for the sugar cane and apple sundae. Been supercropping several branches because they have maxed out my light height at over 4 ft tall. The slurricanes are looking much more manageable and it looks like the stretch is about over on all of them. I switched them over to maxibloom and added a little liquid koolbloom and Beastie blooms to start feeding those flowers. The room is definitely filled up now. just have to keep the juice pumping and see what they do.

Week 3 Flower Report: Blackberry Auto's Blossoming Brilliance! Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 3 of flowering unfolds with an aura of anticipation as my Blackberry Auto continues to dazzle with its blossoming brilliance. Let's delve into the verdant spectacle and marvel at the beauty unfolding before our eyes. Burgeoning Buds and Floral Flourish: As the third week of flowering commences, Blackberry Auto's buds undergo a magnificent transformation, swelling with vigor and vitality. Each bud is a testament to nature's artistry, with velvety textures and glistening trichomes adorning the floral landscape. Hydration Harmony and Nutrient Nirvana: The AutoPot Aquavalve maintains its steadfast rhythm, ensuring Blackberry Auto remains hydrated and nourished as she channels her energy into bud production. With a carefully curated nutrient regimen, the plant enters a state of nutrient nirvana, optimizing growth and resin production. Aromatic Alchemy and Visual Enchantment: The air is suffused with an aromatic symphony as Blackberry Auto's buds exude tantalizing fragrances of sweetness and fruitiness. Meanwhile, the visual enchantment continues to captivate, with hues of purple and indigo intensifying amidst a backdrop of lush green foliage. Tender Care and Gentle Guidance: Amidst the flowering fervor, I continue to provide tender care and gentle guidance to Blackberry Auto, ensuring she receives the support needed to flourish. Low-stress training techniques are employed to promote even canopy distribution and maximize light penetration, fostering optimal bud development. Anticipation and Gratitude: With each passing day, anticipation builds for the imminent harvest, a culmination of months of dedication and care. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to @fastbuds_official for blessing us with this botanical masterpiece. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your unwavering support fuels this green journey and enables the flourishing of Blackberry Auto's potential. Kudos to Grow Diaries for providing the platform to document and share this journey, and a shoutout to the community for the camaraderie and shared passion that enriches our collective cultivation experience.

Week 5 done and dusted and these girls have started their flowering stage, stoked! This week has been a bit slow growing for them unfortunately, I've been super busy and haven't been tending to them as much as I would have liked. I started the week with an over water and then neglected them for a few days and and they dried right out. They were not looking happy. I then top dressed the girls with Herbi's all natural nutrients, 2.5 tablespoons of bloom and 2.5 of Veg mixed in with 5 tablespoons of Worm castings for each girl and i got back to regular watering. They've sprung back up to life but I can't help but think it's another bit of stunt they didn't need. This Gorilla Cookies girl also got another light defoliation yesterday to let the light penetrate through to all the budsites. She's looking happy enough. Hope you all had a good week and thanks for checking in 🙏

Quick update on the strains I have growing at the moment. Its a mixture of Photoperiod and Autoflowering strains. For the Photos I have Cream & Cheese CBD (Seedsman), Critical+, DinaMed+ (both DinaFem) and 3 Cherry’s (Elevator Supply Co). For Autos I have NYC Diesel (Barney’s Farm) and 3 BlackBerry’s (FastBuds) This week I’ve seen lots of nice growth overall, but especially with the photoperiod plants. The Critical +, Cream & Cheese CBD, DinaMed+ and Cherry all look great! The Barney’s Farm NYC Diesel Auto is also looking good! The Cherry is starting to look good too and one of the new seeds sprouted. One more Cherry seed left so this time I tried putting the seed in a jiffy pellet then putting the jiffy pellet into the soil. We’ll see if that helps get one more going. The first 2 Blackberry’s are stretching and developing bud sites. These 2 are a bit small, but the purple in number 1 is coming in nicely. I think the 3rd will be the champion of the bunch and outgrow her big sisters. My fault for trying to get a head start by a few weeks on the first 2 in less than ideal conditions. Live and learn. I’m going to keep all plants growing so everyone can see the good, the bad and the ugly. (I bet the ugly still gets me high as fuck!) 😜 New tents coming soon too. Another 2x4 and a 4x8. 👍 Video finally uploaded 😃

Hello 👋, Gratitude. Sugars UP. Nitrogen Down. 24:1 carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio is widely considered the ideal or optimal ratio for rapid and efficient nutrient recycling and decomposition by soil microorganisms. This balance ensures vigorous microbial activity without tying up excess nitrogen (immobilization) or losing it as gas or through leaching (mineralization). Anthocyanin production significantly increases in plants experiencing nitrogen shortages. Low nitrogen conditions trigger the up-regulation of both structural and regulatory genes involved in the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway. Carotene is a pigment responsible for the yellow and orange hues in leaves. Chlorophyll is the engine of photosynthesis, while carotene acts as a supporting system that expands the engine's fuel range and prevents it from overheating. Without carotene, the photosynthetic system would be far more susceptible to light damage, but without chlorophyll, the process of photosynthesis as we know it would not occur. Anthocyanin synthesis is a visible marker of a plant's response to unfavorable growth conditions, including low nitrogen, phosphorus deficiency, high light exposure, drought, and low temperature. Every box ticked except P deficiency. Dropping night temps to 65F.
