Hi fellow growers, another week and a half has passed so this diary update is a bit over due. As i said in my last update that i was growing on 24 hours of light and thinking about switching them to 18-6, right after writing last weeks diary i made the switch to 18-6 and left it for the past week and a half and that made a huge difference in growth the plants where nice and bushy from the 24 hours of light and they are now stretching towards the light just like we want to see yesterday i made the switch to 12-12 so the next update will be in flowering fase. The day before i made the switch to 18-6 we topped the plants and did a little defoliation but that is hardley noticable in the pictures i added because the new fan leaves developed quick and now they are nice and bushy again, enough leaf surface to take in a lot of light. I think i will be taking out my scrog net somewhere in the next week or so to train them a little but no full on scrog. lighting is now on full power 330 watts full spectrum but is still hanging on 50 cm above the canopy. I give them a little more water every day they get half a liter with hy-pro nutes and rootbastic (the amount added is in the nutes section above) That is all for now. Cheers, Nibameca

We can notice more fat colas since i opend plant structure. Temperature is lower this week, so i had to water with 8l per day, despite 10l as were usual. Branches are full of hairs, and flowers are starting to grow. As you can see plant suffered smooth nutrient burn, but she is not affected, this was like 1-2 weeks ago, i think i gave her too much TopBloom, then i lowered dosis to 2ml/l + BioGrow, but yesterday watered with TB 4ml/l and she looks happy. ---

The "Beautiful Lady" is thriving as One of the Outdoor Natural Wonders of the Growth World. The colour, the scent, the visual appeal...isn't She Gorgeous??? Still having doubts about the strain but clearly a Indica pheno and a world classe genetics. I registered some white flies and a snail wondering around but some neem oil treatment started very quickly ( 2ml/L solution for leaf spraying) and the week after (3.5ml/L solution for direct watering on Roots) and nome of the plagues were seen after that. As you can see, the bending clips allow the sunlight to enter directly on the internodes space and the interior leafs structure is massivly and densly developing. The seedling occured at 7th February, so counting 2/3 weeks for seedling/plantula stage, plus 6 weeks so far on vegetative stage, my opinion is that with the next week hot weather forecast and the maintenance of the fertilizing schedule ( adding once a week a "cocktail" mixing mineral fert - Bionova Autoflowering Supermix + organic Biobizz Fish Mix and Rooting Agent ( Aminoacids; Humic Acids; Nitrogen supply; Selenium/Iron compound and micronutrients) and plus every 18 days Blackstrap Molasses "tea" dilution on 2 litres of water of two tea spoons of Blackstrap Molasses (around 8 ml/L). Each 3/4 days a plain OR watering scheme - no fertilizing compounds included, just plain water- and not much than 0.5L by grow. As you can see on photos, the growth goes solidly amazing with a full healthy plant. Some bending clips were apllied and it is clearly noticed that the interior leafs structure and internodes growth is developing massivly day by day. The weather was fantastic the last 10 days, changing from a very steady temperature amplitude from Max. 20 to 23ºC and during nights a min. never below 13ºC. Relative humidity around 75 to 85 % and changing each couple of days from showering rains to clear hot and bright sunny Mediterranean days. So Jah Jah God as always on command, greatly wise, protecting the growth and spreading Peace and Love for the world. Pause and be safe...

Weeks 9 and 10 have marked a significant transformation in the garden, with the flowers flourishing beautifully. The plants are truly booming, and it’s rewarding to see the buds developing into compact, dense nuggets, signaling that we're on the right path. During week 9, I decided to give the plants a boost with Canna PK 13/14, applying it just once. This seemed to have paid off as the buds have responded well, showing signs of vigorous growth and vitality. I also took the opportunity for a big defoliation this week. Admittedly, I was a bit lazy the previous week, but the plants needed the extra attention. Removing some of the larger leaves has improved airflow and allowed the light to reach more buds, enhancing their development. As I look ahead, it seems likely I’ll be harvesting next week. The trichomes are starting to turn milky, indicating that they’re approaching peak potency. Before that, I’ll make sure to give the plants a thorough flush to ensure the cleanest flavor and smoothest smoke. Overall, the garden feels healthy and vibrant, setting the stage for a successful harvest ahead. Looking forward to what the next weeks will bring! Thanks @fastbud for the great strain

Day 58 - week 4 of flowering started.. day 22 of flowering .. Did some defoliation after week 3 of flowering, cut the low small branches, in order of more light penetration.. plant is really tall, one of my biggest plant ever, and the breeder says in the catalog this is hybrid 50/50.. but in comparison with the other in the tent it days is smaller.. anyway I am happy, hopefully it will fatten up as we do like too.. it’s getting realy frosty already 🌬️❄️

This week made a few oopsies . I gave un-ph’d water to one of the plants “moving to fast” . Started defoliation during this week to attempt to redirect plant energy into establishing a full canopy since flowering has initiated. Whilst defoliating I broke a branch that had to be taped to save it. Humidity went out of whack when I stored 4 prepped 5 gal pots for transplant in the tent sooo I’ve got to buy a dehumidifier bc at one point all my plants fell out in a fit . STILL haven’t filled these pots out, & I’m kinda sure/unsure it’s time to re-amend the soil for flowering. I’m conflicting on waiting until beginning/middle of week 7 so I can flush week 11 & 12 . I think that covers it pretty well Week 5 in the 📚 📕 📖.

Surf Purp Week 6 Flower The last week before flush. All nutrients apart from PK and sugars have been stopped. This brought the ppm/EC down, plus Remo Bloom was reduced slightly now they're not so hungry. With that being said I'm still using a lot more with this line than I'm used to. Only because the remo nutrients feeding chart lists them so strong, which I'm already a lot lower than. In future I'll try reducing them and see how they cope and perform, but that's just part of dialing it in to your own specific set up. Now that they're close to flush they're starting to get slightly more pale, with #2 and #4 showing some purpling too. This is because they are slowly coming to the end of their cycle, so they no longer need heavy feedings and are now eating less and beginning to cannibilise. They're all very frosty and giving off an insane amount of smell. At this point I'm more or less certain that #4 is a keeper, with the most unique terpene profile out of the 4 females. It smells like rotting candy/fruit with a lot of gas ⛽ it's also a close call between #1&2, as they're very similar to each other yet so different to #4. These two have the sweetest, most pungent smell of blueberries but with very slight differences between them that could change more throughout flush (and even after drying and curing). The keeper from these two will more than likely be decided after drying and curing. One or two of the main cola's on #4 are way too close to the light, with one top bud showing clear signs of burning. When you look closely, parts of the burns are brown as you would expect, and others are bleached white. These are both from heat and light damage, and aren't ideal. But, it's only the one bud on one plant so I'm not going to stress over it. In fact, she's smelling that incredible that you wouldn't even know! Thanks for following and happy growing! 🦊

Week 1 Report: Nurturing the Essence of Blackberry Auto Greetings, fellow cultivators! It's time for a detailed Week 1 report on the progress of my Blackberry Auto. This little marvel is not just a plant; it's a canvas for a nutrient symphony, a masterpiece in the making. Our journey starts with a delicate transplant into a petite pot filled with nutrient-rich soil and a generous touch of Mycor Mix. This mix, boasting various mycorrhizae species, is the secret sauce for expanding the root system and paving the way for efficient nutrient uptake. The stage is set for a robust foundation! Enter the Regulator – the elixir for plant strength and resilience. With each watering, this cornerstone of my nutrition program acts as a transporter, enhancing nutrient absorption and bioavailability. The patented formula dances with natural plant mechanisms, ensuring the right nutrition at the right time. It's not just watering; it's a performance of nutrient precision! As the week unfolds, the magic of CaMg-Boost unfolds. This organo-mineral powerhouse prevents calcium and magnesium deficiencies while orchestrating a symphony of powerful fruit set and development. A key player for a firm and high-quality end product, CaMg-Boost is the maestro of mineral balance in my cannabis opera. Week 1 is where the magic happens with All-in-One Liquid. This 100% mineral-based fertilizer is a versatile companion, adaptable from the vegetative phase to the flowering/maturation phase. Its unique manufacturing process laughs in the face of pH-variations, embracing a wide pH-range. The plant is not just fed; it's serenaded with a harmonious blend of essential nutrients. The week crescendos with Startbooster, a specially formulated organic root and growth stimulator. This 100% biological potion, enriched with active organic ingredients, becomes the conductor of root development and vegetative growth. Microbial life joins the orchestra, enhancing root hair development, conditioning the soil, and providing bioavailable nutrition during this crucial vegetative phase. As I stand witness to the dance of nutrients and the growth of Blackberry Auto, I'm reminded that cultivation is not just a science; it's an art. Join me in this horticultural symphony, where every nutrient is a note, and every leaf is a stroke on the search for green perfection! Genetics Blackberry Auto @Fast_Buds Food - @aptusholland @aptus_world As always thank you all for stopping by, for the love and for it all , this journey of mine wold just not be the same without you guys, the love and support is very much appreciated and i fell honored and blessed with you all in my life

This week she has responded to scrog really well and is evenly distributed her cola sites throughout the grow room. She is the biggest grow I have done yet following my previous succession of her mother plant (this is her clone) looking forward for the next few weeks.

Awesome! Went away for 10 days over Christmas and was not sure what to expect when I got back. Obviously re-potting them and letting them dry out has been effective. I've started adding a little Fish Mix to their water. I don't think they need it but I'll go really slow and try it out on my tomatoes to see what effect it has on them. I'm cautious about drowning them in nutrients as I have no experience with this and don't want to slow the grow down any more than I already have.

Hi all , hope we are all well and safe?. Day 7: Lets start the update with the new configuration. Using the new sp3000 on tje recovering mft tank cant ne useful at all so i have now put the 2 L.O.S FFT girls directly under this and used the sp250 as an extra side lighting to them too. It still catches the NFT and FFT#8 with plenty of par but the main focus can now be put into creating big framed lower plants with more than enough light to assist. After the stretch period ends , i am going to defol and get them in their final position for bud stacking. This will open the canopy even wider for light to penetrate. FFT#8 is nice and green but still tiny even after a week of stretching. Her root damage and recovery have ruined any chance of really seeing the best from this tester bit as ssheje looks so happy , i will continue with her. FFT#9 Is a monster in comparison to #8 and with only 2 weeks and a bout of root rot between them is impossible to believe. Her limbs are solid under the canopy with a great structure to build buds on. She measures approx 2.5ft across her width now and has a lot of very healthy stacking growing tips. Each one is like a mini version of a plant itself and should produce some very nice buds stacks. She is giving out a weedy fruit smell now too and along with her hairy tips , looks close to her stretch ending. I saw the bract hairs and odd white pistil from around day 3 of flipping which show their quick flowering genetics so well. Seeing other FFT#9 grows gives me a great boost to what this strain can do. For a new grower it would be simple to grow and very responsive to care and training too. FFT#10 This lady is the only dark , broad leaved girl in thebhouse amd is growing with longer node spacing tjan the others . she want to keep going vertical and has really shown some growth during the stretch desoite her supercropping. She will benefit from the defol at day 21 and be opened up more to catch all her lower growth too. She looks and feels so healthy up close and hwr lower pot growth is solid for a foundation. I woukd like to see this strain grown natural , i bet it would be huge without being held down. Be well and safe growmies. Until next week. Peace and love
