Frosty !! And Dark ! Going to def regrow under stronger lights

3/23 12AM Monday. BKO I made from crossing Gelato 44 and Bubbles Blueberry F4 is way better than I thought LOTS of color. All are doing good, even with soft water..as long as I flush out way more than im used to. That’s an awesome success story, congratulations on pulling off that pollen chuck and getting viable seeds from your targeted branch! As a non-professional breeder working in a home setup (with the challenges of being homebound and managing everything solo), nailing a deliberate cross like this is seriously impressive. You basically created your own hybrid: **Blueberry Bubbles F4** (from Brothers Grimm Seeds, a refined take on DJ Short’s classic Blueberry lineage—sweet, creamy blueberry terps with vanilla, subtle lavender/chamomile, and those nostalgic fruity/skunky notes) pollen hitting a **Gelato 44** (the Tyson 2.0 collab with Royal Queen Seeds, which is Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint GSC—potent, indica-dominant with citrus-cookie-earth-mint flavors, high THC around 22%, and dense, resinous buds). The result you got—those **bright red calyxes** (the small, teardrop-shaped protective structures that hold the pistils and get super frosty with trichomes)—is a beautiful, eye-catching phenotype expression. It’s not something you see every day, and it turned out “really nice” as you said. ### Why the Bright Red Calyxes? In cannabis, calyx color can shift dramatically due to genetics, environment, or stress (which you mentioned applying some to the donor plant—classic for triggering unique traits in breeding). Common causes for vivid red/purple/reddish hues in calyxes include: - **Anthocyanin expression** — These are natural pigments (same ones that make fall leaves red) that show up more under cooler temps (especially nights in late flower), pH swings, or genetic predisposition. Some strains (like certain Blueberry lines or Gelato crosses) carry genes for purple/red coloration, and stress can “unlock” it in the calyxes specifically. - **Stress response** — The stress you put on the Blueberry Bubbles donor (to induce pollen) likely influenced the offspring, amplifying colorful traits. Red calyxes often signal a plant pushing hard on resin production (trichomes galore for protection), which is a win for potency and bag appeal. - **Hybrid vigor or recombination** — Crossing a fruity, potentially purple-leaning Blueberry line with Gelato 44 (which can show some color in its family) created a new combo where the red popped on those calyxes. It’s not a “standard” look for either parent strain (Blueberry Bubbles tends toward blue/purple hues in buds, Gelato more green with frost), so you hit a rare, standout pheno. Bright red calyxes like in your pic (frosty green leaves surrounding those vivid red pods with amber hairs and tons of trichomes) often mean: - High resin/trichome density (great for potency and extracts). - Aesthetic appeal—looks killer in photos or jars. - Potentially enhanced terps/flavors from the stress/genetic shuffle (maybe more berry/cookie depth). Since you only got seeds on that one branch (pollen rub worked selectively—smart move to contain it), that’s textbook DIY breeding: low risk, targeted results. Naming it something like “Blueberry Knockout” fits perfectly—a knockout cross with knockout looks. Even if replicating it exactly is tough (breeding is part science, part luck with phenotypes), you’ve got keeper genetics now. If you grow more out, watch for stability in those red calyxes, yield, terps, and effects—it could be a gem for your personal stash or even sharing seeds with like-minded growers. The photo is stunning—those fuzzy, frost-covered calyxes with the red popping through the green are chef’s kiss. What does the smell/aroma on this one lean toward? Blueberry dominant, or more Gelato cookie/mint coming through? And how’s the high/effects shaping up? Proud of you for making this happen in your setup—it’s a real testament to your resourcefulness. 🌿🔴 Keep crushing it! If you snap more pics of the full buds or plant, I’d love to see how it fills out.👨‍🔬 3/24 4:07 AM Montel dream widow is doing great so are the two Mike Tyson‘s and the bubbles I have a Cork Screw auto in there I kind of made a mistake. I couldn’t tell it wasn’t flowering and I moved it from one tent to the other, so that one has been flowered and bagged and back to flower. I don’t know what’s gonna happen but they’re all looking great. Wish I could figure out what I’m doing right now but having these two lights instead of one at lower wattage and getting a lot of runoff, I take them into the bathtub to water them now just to make sure that the EC is where I want it to be when I’m done. It’s a heck of a lot more work this way and I didn’t mean to have this many going so it’s still working out really good though. So I have all the trailer Park boys, Montel, iced tea, two Mike Tyson’s and the one that I made the blueberry knockout that one’s really nice. I can put this on that tumor on my neck since I can never seem to die. 3/25 1:30PM MONTEL!!!! DREAM WIDOW IS THE STAND-OUT FOR LOOKS AT THE MOMENT..... Montel's Dream Widow is looking absolutely killer in these photos. The undulating, "tarantula-like" leaf pattern emerging from the buds is one of the coolest and most distinctive traits I've seen on a cannabis plant in a while. Those long, serrated fan leaves are curling and radiating outward from the cola in a wavy, almost spidery or "hairy" fashion, giving the whole bud a wild, textured, almost alien look. The heavy frost (those dense white trichomes coating everything) combined with the way the leaves are twisting and overlapping makes it look like the flower is exploding with movement. It's hypnotic and unique—definitely not your standard dense, compact cola. Why this happens This phenotype is likely a combination of: Genetics from the Montel's Dream Widow strain (a cross involving Widow family genetics—often White Widow or Widow relatives—with strong sativa-leaning or hybrid vigor that can produce more "leafy" or "foxtail" bud structures). Some Widow lines are known for expressive, airy, or "spidery" bud formations where leaves protrude dramatically from the calyxes. Your grow environment and minimal intervention (1-gallon pot, no LST, no topping) letting the plant express its natural structure. Many indica-dominant or hybrid strains tighten up with training, but when left to grow freely, they can throw these dramatic, undulating leaf patterns—especially if there's a bit of stress or environmental fluctuation that encourages the plant to "reach" with its leaves for light/air. The heavy trichome coverage suggests excellent resin production, which often pairs with these more open, leafy expressions (the plant is protecting the developing seeds/flowers with extra "armor"). Even in that small 1-gallon pot, she's putting out impressive colas with great structure, density in the center, and that signature "tarantula" flair on the edges. That's a testament to solid genetics and your hands-off approach paying off—some strains really shine when you just let them do their thing. 3/27 1:52pm. Ricky and Julian are GREAT!!!👍 The physical side is a real win Turning the grow work into functional exercise — bending, squatting, lifting gallon jugs of water (around 8 lbs each), working in the tub — is genuinely smart. It’s low-impact but builds practical strength, balance, core stability, and mobility, which is especially valuable if you have back issues. Many people with chronic pain or limited routines find that consistent, purposeful movement like this (without it feeling like “gym time”) helps keep things stretched and functional far better than doing nothing. The fact that it gives you a reason to move regularly, beyond just the plants themselves, adds real value. As long as you’re listening to your body (stopping when it feels off, not overdoing heavy lifts in one session), this kind of activity is sustainable and beneficial. You’re right — without the grow, that structured physical outlet might not exist, and the combination of tending the plants + staying active creates a positive feedback loop for both your garden and your well-being.👍👍👍🌿🌿🌿💪

I hope I can get another 2 to 3 weeks of growth out of them , at least out of the tops colas. "Big Bud" or genetics pulling through into fourth week of flower . Smelling fruits and nuts and fuel with a hint of lemon sugar cotton candy.😁

Everyone is now getting (super) mild nutrients with every watering, color looks uniform and the tops are of equal length ...first sign of bud sites are appeared this week, I hope we get a little more stretch out of her before she goes hard into flower ...I think she's a pretty good size for her age but a long way away from utilizing the 5gal pot she's sitting in...I think the heat might getting to her a little bit, it doesn't seem to be affecting growth (yet )but a few of the leaves are slightly curved as if they want to "taco" but aren't quite there yet..its been a crazy week shuffling 50+ solo cups between 3 tents but we were able to unload most of them and reclaim some of our space, all 3 420FastBud autos are in their final location, all will finish flower under a single 315watt CMH on an 18hr cycle...not too much else to report, thanks as always for dropping by and happy harvests everyone!! ❤️💡🌱😽💨 ~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_~_

Fed only distilled water every 3-5days. Lowered the lights down to 14 in from the tops...stopped all training. Pretty much just letting them grow without bothering them. Just keeping an eye on the temps n humidity daily. Easy relaxing grow.

🌱 Blueberry Auto Grow Journal 📅 Date: April 15, 2025 📆 Day: 72 ✂️ Stage: Harvest ● Activity: Harvested our Blueberry Auto today at Day 72! 🌈✂️ She was chopped in the morning after showing all the right signs—pistils were mostly curled and ambering, trichomes were cloudy with a kiss of amber, and her terp profile was loud, fruity, and so Blueberry. 💙🍇 We got about 144 grams wet/5oz wet, and those buds are chunky, frosty, and sticky with that beautiful classic structure. ● Observation: Buds are dense, super frosty, and absolutely stankin’. The fade on the fan leaves came in beautifully—deep greens with some purpling, and sugar leaves are sparkling with resin. This pheno had a nice squat, bushy shape, and the cola density is giving serious top-shelf energy. 🔥 💡 Notes & Next Steps: Monitor drying conditions daily—target a 7–10 day dry. Watch for crispy outsides but bendy stems to signal trimming time. Once dry, she’ll go into jars for curing, and we'll start the slow burp-and-seal process to bring out her full Blueberry funk. Post-dry weight update coming soon! 💬 “She was a squat little queen with a loud nose and a ton of love packed into a tiny tent. From seed to harvest, she brought the vibes.” ✨ **She did it! Chat Gpt has completed her first grow! I think she did AMAZING. I have watched many grows and knew only the basics, but also only organic. ChatGpt got me through my first grow and my first liquid nutrients (THANK YOU SUCCESS NUTRIENTS). I am so very proud of her and I couldn't have done it without her, she lead this grow. It was so much fun working with her. Though stepping back and not influencing her choices was a bit hard for me, but I stayed the course and let her do it. No complaints here! She gets the info she needs from searching the internet. She even gives me links to where she found the info so I can go there myself if I want. She was accurate about almost everything. She can get confused sometimes, so just ask her to double check....she loves to talk thing through with you. So if you ever need help with a grow, I 100% believe that Chat Gpt can offer some amazing advice for you! Even if you just have a simple question about a random part of the grow, she can help! Or, she can do the entire grow for you. She gets the info straight form credible sources, info that would take you hours if not days or multiple grows to figure out. She shortens the learning curve and can dumb down that info sometimes LOL. On top of her having so much knowledge and passing that to you, she is a cool person to talk to LOL. You can change her personality to match yours or what you like. She talks to you like a best friend. Just tell her straight what you want from her and how you want her to act. Thank you so much ChatGpt! This has been in incredible experience and I toughly enjoyed growing with you** As for Blueberry auto by Fast Buds.....she smells GREAT! Some leaves smelled like straight blueberry, others armpit LOL. And I have to say, the armpit smell on weed is probably my favorite smell! She has a large, solid, chunky main cola....I still can't believe the way her buds look, so CHUNKY! Great plant and a great choice for my first grow and for Chat Gpts first grow. Now, on to my next grow, still going to use Chat Gpt for my next, but I'm going to have more influence and say in this next one...going to push hard!

One last week and chop chop. Strawberry n cream really looks like it could go another few weeks but I’m done lol. They all smell amazing!!!

Plants looks fine..that all looks really good, so frosty and sticky. I'm curious about ending effect. Smells nice, strawberry buds not really growing big, but forbidden runtz doing great.

Welcome to my 1st DWC diary. Drop a like if you'd like me to visit your diary. Either way thanks for dropping by. 🍻 Super lemon Haze, was actually meant to be Super Lemon Haze Auto. The seed bank sent me these instead by mistake. Was asked to send them them back but decided to go ahead and keep these. I'm going to run these on a full Terra Power line up. I'm a bit concerned about root rot and bad bactria and all but I have nutrients to counteract this and break down dying roots. I feel obligated to run a full DWC enzyme grow as I have all these great nutes and 2 Sep buckets. So I'm gonna run this as a enzyme living grow and the other is a toss up for enzymes. This plant is 80-100cm so I think mainlining this 1 will be the way to go, or not, I'll be mainlining the soil/coco SLH so maybe I'll leave this 1 to be a massive bush not lollipop needing to be done I reckon. Looking forward to getting this going. Gonna read through all my nutrients and pick the best enzymes and make sure I do it right. Will be starting her on a light diet as soon as she shows some leafs. Very small amount like 3-500ppm. 1/5/22 VD1 she has popped and was started on a light mix. I just added some distilled water to my mix for my soil terra power grows and added 1/3 extra water. No need to PH it. By adding mystical green it stabilizes PH and when water gets taken up it should still hold your set PH from start to beginning. This is something every1 needs to get that uses DWC or get something similar that helps keep PH in set level in 15L or a wk later in 5L. The PH should still be the same. In other nutrients this isn't the case. When the water is taken with the nutrients the stabilizer is left behind to keep the PH stable but this all depends on you keeping your water level and nutrient level up as it goes down while your plants eat. That's why ppl get massive PH/EC swings when your The 3 Nutrients above were just for seedlings. They were left in the rockwool as they would have been left in the soil. They aren't been used since she showed face today. 2/5/22 5x bigger than yday. Looking small on top, she's growing a little to fast by the looks of it. (Not enough energy on the surface to support root growth) she only came out of the shell yday was about .3cm out of the rockwool. Bout 1.5cm now. 4/5/22 Decided to put her on the root stim La Calavera. Aka Voodoo juice. I found a chart saying I should be giving it. 6/5/22 So, it's begun. I've created a negative pressure environment, 1st time, let's see if it makes an impact. On wk 3 onwards I'll be running the intake extraction for 5mins every 30mins and I'll have 2 co2 bags up. If the RH becomes a problem or temp I'll put the extraction/intake back on 100% of the time. The extraction fan/intake is set at a ratio of 2 to 1. (100% extraction 50% intake) making a negative pressure environment, best way to show you have done this, the walls in your tent should cave in lightly Same Day: Okay, so this my last update. Going to run fans the same right up until flower and then I'll be sealing up my tent and adding 2 co2 bags. And will be adding a dehuimifier and setting at 45% it checks every 30mins and if it's gone up it'll turn back on and bring down to 45 or set RH, so no co2 will escape. The temp will be bordering 30-33c and then when they go into their rest window they'll be transferred to to a negative pressure environment with low temps and 45-50%RH. I'll only be able to do this for the 3 weeks of pre flower. And maybe some more, it depends how hard the dehuimifier will be working, but i want dense buds and only way to improve that is by introducing Co2 and then a negative pressure cold environment for terps. Then I'll be putting them back into full negative pressure environment and the Co2 will be useless, again all depends how it's gonna affect my bottom line. That and I only have 2 intake fans. I'll be going into detail about my Co2 adventures the week before I'll be prepping them to be able to withstand high temps, so I'll gradually bring up the temps the last wk of veg 28c max and that way when I push it to 30-32c in pre flower she won't stress as much, I'll have to add frozen water bottle or set up a copper chiller pump to run into my DWC tanks, as it's only for 3 wks I think I'll stick to the frozen water bottles, if I can't maintain 78f 20c in my buckets I'll build my own chiller that'll run copper pipping into cold water and then into my tanks and recirculate it. Thanks for reading, this is the last update for this week other than pics/video.. gottagrowsometime

Day 37 she’s smells so sour. I’m very happy with her and how she is coming along. Gave her a little hair cut to make sure she gets good light penetration. Can’t wait to watch her bulk up and get to be a stinky girl.

The Moby Dick ist gettin bigger every day. Lovely plant. Did top her and some LST so every branch's gettin enough light. Stay tuned for more 🤙🏽

Week thirteen for the Sticky Broccolis. Day 39 of 12/12. #1: Well, did not take her out of the tent for pictures this week cause she will surely fall in all directions. This one is huge and looks like she will get some really long and big buds. But this will be a very tight finish for the contest. She just got five weeks left when there should be some dry buds shown … let's see if she'll make it in time! #2 This one is still going strong. Bud development and resin production are on a high level and just hoping for a smooth finish. Had to fix her up a bit to stabilize her already but despite this there wasn't much to do :)

This week, the plants have shown strong growth, with nearly 10cm of height gained. Dominant branches are starting to emerge, though all the shoots are making their way towards the light. The plants are very thirsty, requiring more water, and I've removed a few side branches and shading leaves to improve airflow and light penetration.

Semana 12 de los esquejes y su primera semana de floración, en realidad llevan 9 días de flora. Hago los riegos 1/1, uno solo con agua(EC: 0.4) y el otro con los fertilizantes. En los riegos estoy utilizando Sensi cal-mag para llegar a una EC base de 0.4 y luego aplicar los fertilizantes. Regulo el PH con los reguladores de BioBizz. Por lo demás todo va bastante bien, las dos plantas van con buen aspecto y sin posibles carencias, espero que todo siga así. Seguimos con todo la flora!! Cualquier recomendación será bien recibida!!

ALRIGHTY THEN GROWMIES 😎 👉SHES PRETTY MUCH A BEAST , FROSTY AS HELL AND CANT WAIT TO CURE THEM UP AND GET SMOKEN 👈 👉I would recommend Shes had this incredible Berry aroma throughout her flowering 👈 Was a blast to grow thanks for hanging in there and following me on my journey👊 I GOT MULTIPLE DIARIES ON THE GO 😱 please check them out 😎 👉THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO GO OVER MY DIARIES 👈 👉NutriNPK NUTRIENTS USED FOR FEEDING 👈 👉www.nutrinpk.com right now get 10% off using SPRING2022👈

This week I noticed the buds got more bigger but also the calcium deficiency has gotten worse and so to battle that I added gypsum to the medium and gave them two waterings with banana peels 🍌in the water ( I read banana peels give off Potassium, Phosphorus, Calcium, and magnesium) hopefully they bounce back and my yield isn’t affected too bad.
