Flowering started! So excited! Waiting for the moment when I can get ropes off. LST gives me giant esthetic pleasure)

She responded very well to her first training round. Almost ready for round 2.

😁

Topped and transplanted into her final home , 27 L pot . She’s healthy strong and green .

Beginning of week 7 in flower, only two more weeks left if they ripen like they did last time. Plants are beginning to smell, develop triches and fattening up. They're not going to get any taller but compared to my first grow they're double in size. It's getting really intense. I'm in there every day checking humidity (on the no defol side) and I'm starting to struggle keeping up with the feed. During lights off I've found the plants eat the most food. I topped up the res, added 25% more PK. I try to keep the plants at 700 ppm and in the space of four hours it dropped to 600 ppm (towards the end of lights off). I stopped directly loading with Calcium Nitrate and instead used a regular calmag. I'm about to go overboard with Calcium Nitrate again and bump the ppm up to 1k. Will see how far the ppm drops the next day. 17/02/20 Update: The plants are beginning to smell a lot more, it has that kind of fermenting pungent smell from a red paw paw but applied to a mango. Very sweet, it literally smells like I'm growing some kind of tropical fruit. Still struggling with the feed, I added close to 40g of calcium nitrate and the plants still dropped the ppm lower than when I boosted it. I find it really frustrating that Dual Fuel only sell as a pair. Part 2 is amazing for late flower. Potassium sulphate and Magnesium sulphate, it's the perfect PK boost and I don't know anyone other nutrient like it. The other PK boosters always have too much P. 18/02/20 Update: Still battling my plants and the efforts to keep up with them is still frustrating me. Ran out of potassium Sulphate and bought Bio Diesel Rhino K 0-0-15 as a substitute, talk about expensive but I was desperate. 19/02/20 Update: Uploaded how I pump calcium into my plants this late into flower. They eat more than what I showed daily. That's 100+ ppm of Ca everyday! I don't know how much pectin this plant has now but the Brix would have to be through the roof compared to my first grow. 20/02/20 Update: finally got the feed right for a twelve hour period. I'm using two times the amount of K any bloom booster recommends and I'm probably using ten times the amount of calcium easily. I'm also going to feed as minimal N from now on, I'd cut it out completely if I could but I rely on Micros for the macro nutrients. Spent $65 on that bottle of potash and I used a third of a bottle for one nutrient change, think I'll stick to using powered water soluble potassium sulfate. My main concern is that I won't be providing enough iron with the little Micro I'm giving it. Going to throw a couple of rustry nails into the res. I'm about to do a top up...dropping the Micro super low, putting minimal part 2 in. Along with all the fulvics, humics, kelp and other acids my ppm only sits at 244. Which gives me plenty of room to load up on calcium. Top up the mag cause what was in the part 2 wasn't enough then load K. 21/02/20 Update: The plants finally stalled and took a breather yesterday. Didn't upload any photos cause it looked the same as the day before. By the end of the evening it looked like the explosive growth started back up again and the photos from today will show it. The ppm was creeping up not down this time...finally over feeding them. Dropped the extra loading of calcium and potassium to regular bloom phase levels and bumped the chelators up instead. Update 22/02/20: plants aren't eating what they were. Ppm is remaining stable at 800. I won't dilute the res just yet. Still holding off to see if it goes up again. If it goes down I'll refeed the same formula as last time that has reduced calcium and potassium.

Coming soon

It was my first grow and I really screwed it up a lot, but it resisted all my beginner mistakes, pests, stress, being without irrigation, irrigation without measuring PH, revegetation, etc. I love her, really, in love with this strain. It is a genetics with a very relaxing effect, recommended for those who cannot sleep at night. shoutout for trimix, very good prices for begginers> https://www.trimix-pro.com/

: End of week #6, and I’m extremely happy with the results so far, especially considering the conditions inside the tent — it’s quite small with limited airflow. The plants are in full bloom and still bulking up nicely. A strong aroma is starting to fill the space (my roommates are already complaining about the smell!). I’ve been following the BioBizz feeding schedule to the letter, carefully keeping the pH between 6.3 and 6.5, and watering every other day without skipping nutrients. As shown in previous weeks, my RHC #2 has become the tallest plant, and it’s clearly the one that will produce the biggest and fattest colas. RHC #1, on the other hand, is denser but its colas aren’t as large. Overall, I’m very pleased with the progress and now eagerly waiting for the moment to start the drying process. I assume that eventually the colas will start turning red, although there’s only about a 60% chance of that happening. RHC #1 is already showing some color on its leaves, which is a good sign. Once it’s fully mature, the colors should become more intense — hopefully shifting into a deep, vibrant red. I’m really looking forward to seeing that transformation take place as the plants reach their final stages. 😍

Harvest Report: The Swift Journey of Blackberry Auto Greetings, fellow cultivators! The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived – the harvest of my Blackberry Auto. This beauty has moved through her life cycle with astonishing speed and grace. Let's take a moment to reflect on her incredible journey from seed to harvest and celebrate the fruits of our labor. Seed to Sprout: It feels like just yesterday when I planted the tiny seed of Blackberry Auto. Nestled in a Root Riot cube, she sprouted with vigor, her first delicate leaves reaching for the light. The conditions were perfect, with temperatures at a steady 28°C and relative humidity at 95%, creating an ideal environment for her early growth. Transplanting and Early Growth: As she transitioned to a small pot filled with rich soil and Mycor Mix, Blackberry Auto continued to thrive. The Mycor Mix, with its blend of various mycorrhizae species, worked wonders in enlarging her root system and facilitating nutrient uptake. Her early growth was nothing short of spectacular, setting the stage for the robust plant she would become. Rapid Vegetative Phase: Blackberry Auto quickly outgrew her initial pot and was soon transplanted into her final home – a 16L AutoPot. This setup allowed her to drink as she pleased, supported by the precise hydration of the AutoPot Aquavalve. With a foundation of Aptus All-in-One Pellets and Mycor Mix Soil, she had everything she needed for explosive growth. Her leaves grew enormous and lush, and her branches spread wide with gentle low-stress training. Swift Flowering and Stunning Development: Entering the flowering phase, Blackberry Auto didn't slow down. Her buds formed quickly, each one a masterpiece of nature. The colors were a sight to behold – deep purples, vibrant magentas, and hints of dark blue. The aromatic symphony filled the grow room, a testament to her potent genetics and the meticulous care provided. Natural Brilliance and Final Weeks: Observing her rapid progress, I ceased all feedings to let Blackberry Auto showcase her natural brilliance. Her final weeks were marked by a dazzling display of colors and an incredible pace of bud development. Each day brought new marvels, as her buds swelled and her trichomes sparkled like a constellation. A Heartfelt Reflection: From the moment she sprouted to her final days of flowering, Blackberry Auto has been a true wonder. Her speed and beauty have exceeded all expectations, and it's hard to believe how quickly she reached this point. This journey has been a testament to the magic of cultivation and the resilience of a well-bred strain. Acknowledgments and Gratitude: As we celebrate this harvest, I extend my deepest gratitude to @fastbuds_official for creating such a remarkable strain. To Aptus Holland, my main sponsor, your support has been invaluable in nurturing this beauty. A special thank you to Grow Diaries for providing a platform to share this journey, and to the community for your shared passion and camaraderie. 🌱💚 As we move forward, I eagerly anticipate the trim and smoke reports, where we'll dive into the sensory delights of Blackberry Auto. For now, let's revel in the joy of a successful harvest and the extraordinary journey that brought us here. 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

Sorry I couldn't get better pictures but I'll try again tomorrow. This strain certainly deserves it. Very low leaf to bud ratio on this plant. Dark pink or orange stigmas retracted into the buds as they finished and one pheno had the densest nugs I've ever grown. This year realky showed me the difference of quality seeds compared to "local" clones. After a rainstorm on the large fluffier pheno I found a "trapped" bumblebee inside one of the massive colas. I had to help it out. It was literally "stuck" due to the resin. This strain had the most pleasant aroma that stuck with the finished product. Due to the small amount of leaf to bud ratio this plant was a breeze to trim. That being said I still don't have it ALL manicured up but I'm working on it. All plants seemed fairly pest resistant as well. If you enjoy indica strains (90/10) with short flowering times than this should certainly be on your "to grow list." Having these plants totally finish before October was very helpful. According to many local growers (both patients and commercial growers) this was "the worst year for growing cannabis in memory." I've had the best year I've had in decades (probably ever) both quality and quantity wise.

This week went fairly well, but I became concerned with some leaves appearing crispyfried along the edges and some looking deficient. I finally started cutting my girls and I have to say, I felt ashamed at wounding my babes but hopefully it'll go the right way, guess we'll see!!! I also flushed my plants with ph Balanced water this week and going to only provide this to water/feed them for another few days for fear of nutrient burn and simply following the feed schedule for my nutrients. Also, I took some pics for the Christmas contest for Crop King Seeds lol hope you like them more than my Paw did! I want to send a big shout out to my Dad who is giving me advice based upon his UNCA Biology BS experiences... Thanks Paw!!! I also want to say thank you for all the likes and interest in my grow, much love yall! See you next week!!! What follows below is the transcribed daily notes from the images above! 12/9 Plants looking good, I fed/watered w/Sunday's Ph 6.2 6tsp/ga Big Bloom & 3 tsp ga Grow Big. Next time I'll flush. I don't know if my runoff ph is bad or good because the plants are eating leaving acidic runoff 12/10 Plant 1 looks so Good, might be time for LST soon 12/11 Plants all showing Improvement/Growth Plant 3 still slowest but she's still growing. Under grow lights I think I see fringe yellow tips. Still on track to flush w/Plain H2o next watering. 12/12 Flushing w/ PH Balanced H2O no noots. Plant 1 has a leaf turning yellow on half so went with ph balanced water w/no nuets to flush all. 3 Growing ok but still a little off looking 12/13 Moved inlet vent to point up and clip on fan to blow on girls. Plants look great after a day of plain H2O. 12/14 Plant one having a small bit of leaf burn on widest leaves and a weird dying on lower leaf. They looked bad under light so I pruned em. Turned up humidifier to 65% been running low. 12/15 Topped Plant 2 Rinsed all w/PH Balanced H2O. Nervous I took too much from #2 But my thinking was I went easy on 1 yesterday so go aggressive on 2 to view effects. 12/16 Trimmed 2 crispy leaves off Plant 1 used Bonsai paste to cover wounds, Plant 2 stem looks narrow@ base wider up top. Trimmed 2 sucker leaves (1st leaves) from Plant 4 Rinsed all w/ PH Balanced H2O Thats it! Thanks yall, see ya next week!

Tremendous growth since day 22. Nutes twice with watering this week. Turned all three lights to 100% on day 22. Noticed stigmas on all four plants on day 30 Had three lights in tent from day 22 to 32: (2) Vivosun VS 1000 and (1) VS 2000. Day 32, noticed a tiny bit of light burn with tiny yellow tips on new growth at the top of two of the four plants, so I removed the larger light on day 32 and will continue with (2) VS 1000 run at 75% for a while. Defoliated 2 or 3 large fan leaves from each plant.

So far so good, starting to get a nice smell comin from the tent. Pheno 3 is still the frostiest n chunkiest but very leafy. Number one has the least frost but the colas are stacking nice. I think number 4 is starting to look the best buds are catching up to number 3 but not as leafy/ gonna b easier to trim

Hello everone 😎 What a beautiful girl 😳 I start to introduce bloom nutrient & Homemade bloom powder She is under the Mars Hydro SP-6500 70% Have a nice day 💥
