*ADVISE NEEDED* The day before yesterday I discovered a huge error in my system. I placed filter material in the feed-throughs of the breeding boxes. This is to prevent the roots from growing together over time. However, what I caused with that is very difficult to explain. The bottom line is that the distribution of food and circulation was actually not good at all. This also explained the differences in the water temperature, but also PH and EC values. That is now completely under control because it now runs stably for 2 days. However, you can see that the records have had a bad start. I am thinking about starting over. Week 3. Week 2 was looking for the correct settings for my system. I found out that the temperature in the bins is quite different. When I set the water chiller to 19 degrees, it all flows fine into the first container. There it rises about 0.5 degrees per bin. The margin of the chiller is about 1 degrees, causing too many fluctuations in the system, with tray 1 becoming too cold and the last one too cold. I solved this by shielding the box at the inlet of the tent with heat-protective foil. I also put a fan on the water chiller. If that catches on, the entire loft heats up, whith more fluctiations. However, I have enough space to measure very precisely and I am getting more and more control. I think the brown leaves were the cause of much too hot water. Since I have the water temperature under control, I see that the new leaves are growing nicely. Moreover, since yesterday (13-5) I received the nutrition. 10 days late. I just finish the root scheme I think. That is still 3 days a 70 mm per day combined with BioBizz Heaven. I tried to take some pictures of the roots and some close ups. I hold the lid with my left hand and with my right hand I try to take a picture zoomed in (max). While the wind makes the roots dance past my lens😡 Something different than usual ... Hope you like it. If you see something that needs to be addressed, let us know. It is my first breeding so there will undoubtedly go wrong. This week I also connected the water reservoir with which I can flush the entire system at once. With this I also control the Ph in the system. Will post photos soon.

Journal Entry – March 16, 2025 🌱 Activity: Watered with 2000mL of plain pH’d water. πŸ‘€ Observation: No runoff at all, even with 2000mL. Leaves showing early signs of magnesium and potassium deficiency – slight yellowing between veins and minor edge discoloration near bud sites. 🌱 Blueberry Auto – Day 47 (March 20, 2025) Activity: πŸ’§ Watering & Nutrients Given (3000mL, but no runoff yet!) Silica: 0.75mL Micro: 3.75mL Flowers: 3.75mL Bud Strength: 2.25mL Flame: 1.5mL Frosty Nugs: 1.5mL Cal-Mag (Additional Supplement): 1.5mL Observation: 🌿 Even with 3000mL, no runoff yet! That soil is holding onto moisture, so next watering, we’ll push to 4000mL to fully saturate the medium and get some drainage. Buds are swelling, and she’s drinking more now, which is a great sign of development! πŸ”₯ Looking Ahead: Next watering: 4000mL to finally get runoff. This will help flush any salt buildup and keep nutrient uptake balanced. Keep light at 100% and monitor leaf colorβ€”if she starts fading or clawing, we’ll adjust feeding as needed. Expect bud density to increase as we push her through these next critical weeks! πŸ’š She’s in full-on flower power mode! πŸš€ Let’s keep fueling those buds! **I have an issue! ChatGpt got to use her diagnosis skills for the first time! She did amazing too. I sent her some pics and said you know everything we've done so far, so you tell me what it is. I did not want to influence her at all for this. And she did! it, she diagnosed some potassium and magnesium deviancies. You can see our interaction about it above. She is upping our nutrients and adding some additional cal mag. Still not enough water for some runoff, but she is increasing it to ensure we do get some next time....hopefully lol**

Flowering day 68 since time change to 12 / 12 h and still very far away from the harvest πŸ˜‚. Hey guys :-) . As usual, it still takes a long time until the harvest. She has stopped growing and I am happy that I managed to keep a Dr Grinspoon small with LST and topping ☺️. She is developing super nicely and smells exactly like a Dr grinspoon should smell 😍. This week was poured 3 times with 1 l each (nutrients see table above) Otherwise the lady was checked every day and everything was cleaned.

i have now moved it to its last pot. it was a bit stressful for it and i hope it recovers well. the root formation looked really good. it is now in an autopot system and is being fed with HESI fertiliser.

This girl was drinking a lot slower than the others I’m guessing she’s cooler in that corner at the base but either way growth was slower into bloom but now she has shot to an impressive 22-23” levelling out the canopy at the back! Can’t wait to see how these flowers form!

25.05. 🌿 Day 25 – Stretching Begins! The plants have noticeably stretched since the last update β€” a clear sign that they’re moving deeper into the vegetative phase. The vertical growth is picking up pace, but they’re still looking strong and well-balanced. Despite the rapid upward growth, structure remains solid, with thick stems and healthy leaf development. The 19L pots and BioGrow feeding seem to be doing their job β€” no signs of deficiencies or stress. Light distance and environment are being carefully managed to control the stretch and keep the plants from getting too lanky. So far, they’re adapting really well. πŸ’ͺ Overall: they’re thriving! β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” 27.05.

in the last pic i show what to me is a deficiency of potassium in the early stage. To repair this issue I'm gonna take something like big bud from advanced nutrients, what do you guys think? Apart from that I think everything is ok, the overall health is good, the leaves have a nice green, no excessive sign of pests... let's hope that doesn't change same diet as the previous weeks, I'm gonna make an update next week

Pistils are starting to turn orange/brown, the buds are getting large and smell so sweet (and dank!) at this point, maybe because of the sweet candy? I'm pleased. Can't wait for harvest, hopefully 4 weeks left, going to start flushing around the 23rd when the trichs are starting to turn cloudy/amber

13.4.25: This week has been so busy in the garden! I forgot to take any notes, so I'll see what I can do from memory! πŸ˜… I watered several times this week, and I used Ecothrive Biosys with dechlorinated water PH'd to 6.4. I watered about 2 litres to each plant. Throughout the week, I've been defoliating all the fan leaves πŸƒ The trichomes are looking all milky to me. I stopped watering a couple of days ago, and the pots are totally dry. 14.4.25: Today is Harvest Day! I finally put together my clothes rail, which I'm using to hang my plants on. I purchased a hanging mosquito net for a bed from Amazon. It's black, which will hopefully block out what little light there is in my drying room. Also, to prevent debris from sticking to the buds whilst drying. It hangs from the ceiling so it will just hang over the clothes rail. Additionally, the net will allow good airflow. I put a bit of thought into this method, so I look forward to seeing it in action! πŸ˜… So let's wait a while and find out how much we yielded here! The final dry weight was 3.26 0z. It tastes like herbs, slightly peppery, and smells quite earthy with a hint of pine. Effects are calming, relaxing and melts away stress. It's quite strong stuff. πŸ˜ƒπŸ’šβœŒοΈπŸŒ±πŸ‘Œ

Day 15 since seed touched soil. All is going amazing. Yesterday topped them up a bit. Stems looks lanky, would expect stronger by now, but generally girls fly ! Off course i watered them straight after goodies were rubbed into top soil. Great White - 4 g sprinkled around for each plant BioSys same amount. Ecothrive Bio Blend - 200 grams added to each pot. Devil biggest, nicest and is happy camper at the moment. Lights are still on 40%, Mars as always has great products for growers. Think this week i will start some training. Day 19. Yesterday girl got 800 ml of 6.3 ph water. She is flying 4sure, thinking to train her tomorrow. Day 20. First LST. Watering straight after, plus Biobizz Leaf Coat shower. Approx 2.5 liters went in, first big saturation. Happy Growing !!!

june 27: Start flowering the plants arent too big, they will end each with around 50-60 grams like this i am also vegging a sativa that im going to flower with them under the same light once shes big enough so i need the space. the light used is the Optic 4 (gen3) 410watt i am growing in coco without perlite i lost track of the real veg time but that doesnt matter i just look at my plants and flower them once they get a decent size, i will update this every saturday so the week by week comparison is easy to follow.

Week 7 plants are going great. The Contest Pheno on the top right corner is out growing all the other phenos. The development seems to be faster than previous generations of the limon Blanco. The other are more consistent in their growth patterns so far. Scrog has been placed as of day 48 and going to let plants grow into it over next couple weeks before flower and second trellis.
