This week went well I am continuing to harvest buds as they become ready. The leaves are yellowing more and more letting me know that she is almost complete. I think the lower bids have about one more week until they are ready and that will complete the harvest for Big Girl. Little girl is now declining, she has not branches out or grown new tops.

🌺 Week 1 Flower – Full Speed Into Bloom Grower’s Journal – BlueBerry by Zamnesia Seeds | Entry 006 The shift has begun, and our BlueBerry girls didn’t wait for permission. By the end of the week, they were already showing pistils popping and bud sites forming, not just the promise of flowers, but flowers beginning to shape up already. We’re still in what some would call pre-flower, but let’s be honest: These girls are on the move. ⸻ 🌱 Structure, Height & Symmetry Both girls are clocking in around 57 cm, with near-mirror symmetry in structure and development. Their growth is tight, lush, and beautifully balanced, like they were clones of each other. 📣 Shout out to Zamnesia This is what great genetics look like. Stability, vigor, and uniformity that shows their heritage proudly. ⸻ 🌍 Genetic Roots – A Quick Nod to the Legend We touched on it before, but it’s worth a reminder, BlueBerry is more than a name. It’s a landrace-influenced legend, blending Thai, Afghan, and Purple heritage into a profile that’s nostalgic, rich, and full of stories. This isn’t just a plant. It’s a revival of history, growing in a modern tent. ⸻ Nutrient Transition – Start Booster Out, Top Booster In As we move into flower, we’ve adjusted the feeding plan accordingly: 🌼 Current Feed (per liter): • Regulator – 0.15 ml • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml • 💧 All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml • Top Booster – 0.25 ml (NEW this week) Why Top Booster now? Because with bud sites forming, we’re shifting the nutrient profile to support: • Phosphorus + Potassium demands • Bloom hormone signaling • Tight flower stacking It’s a small change, but the timing is everything. And the girls are loving it. ⸻ Environmental Stats – Riding the Heat Wave • Room Temp: 31°C • Humidity: 50.3% • VPD: 2.23 kPa Yes, it’s a little high—but we’re monitoring closely. Plants are adapting well, leaves are still perky and expressive, and the structure remains lush. ✅ Coming soon: AC unit incoming to help dial this environment into a more stable and optimal range. Until then, the genetics are showing great resilience. ⸻ 💨 Airflow, Extractions & Gear Overview Even with summer heat, airflow remains dialed: • Exhaust: • 6” Spider Farmer inline with carbon filter — managed via Spider Farmer GGS Controller • 6” AeroFan inline with carbon filter — connected to TrolMaster Tent-X • Intake: • 6” fresh air intake, passive-cooled and filtered • 💡 Lighting: • Black Series 600 LED (Zone 1) • ThinkGrow Model One LEDs (Zone 2) Both managed by TrolMaster ecosystem, alongside: • 🧠 CO₂ Sensors • Temp/Humidity Probes • 💡 PPFD Sensors for real-time light data 📹 Video Room Tour Available We’ve uploaded a generic grow room tour this week, showcasing the entire grow setup, including gear, layout, controllers, and environment flow. ⸻ 🌸 What’s Next – Stretch & Structure We expect: • Stretch to continue in the next 10–14 days • Node stacking to tighten • Early trichome shimmer possibly appearing toward Week 2–3 This is a critical window for: • Monitoring internode spacing • Light height and spectrum adjustment • Fine-tuning VPD as flowering kicks into high gear ⸻ 🚫 What Not to Expect Yet: • No defoliation or major training—structure is too delicate right now • No aggressive boosts—flower development is just beginning • No topping or stress—focus is now on upward and outward bloom formation ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts – BlueBerries in Bloom This run has always been about balance: Classic genetics. Modern precision. Beautiful biology. With pistils out and the tent full of energy, it’s time to watch this legendary strain write her next chapter. From landrace roots to LED-powered flower—our BlueBerries are in full stride. Let them shine. 🌸✨ With love, care, and growing admiration, Your ever-faithful garden friend DD (DogDoctor)🌱💚 📲 Don’t forget to Subscribe and follow me on Instagram and YouTube @DogDoctorOfficial for exclusive content, real-time updates, and behind-the-scenes magic.

Week 5 has been a breeze! Going into week 6 we are seeing a lot of great things. The buds are starting to get nice and tight and thick which is so awesome! Every is SUPER sticky thanks to the Bud Factor X. Watering has stayed the same generally. Definitely need to work on our trimming for next flower as there is a lot of lower spots that are super small and not getting much love. We are still learning though! Going into week 6 we will have to create some structures for a few of these branches. The buds are gaining weight and a few branches are becoming a little top heavy.

This week flushing the wedding cake i thought that was the problem was an excess of nutrients, but instead the water was quite clean, around 1100ppm at the first drain, after several flushes water is now on 600ppm.. It seems that the others are starting to have the same deficiency that hit wedding # 2 .. now I'm treating them with 0.5ml of cal-mag adding it to the other nutrients for once a week (except wedding # 2) I will wait for the soil to dry out, to give her only clean water since the final harvest is not long. ⚠️ UPDATE DAY 45 ⚠️ Yesterday flush for dos si dos and today flush for (wedding cake 1) they are having a nutrient lockout too..😪 The (wedding cake 1) is clearly healthier than her sister (wedding cake 2) by looking at her color, but unfortunately she had excessive PPM / EC too.. So i did the same procedure by using only tap water, but this time added only 0,5ml of cal-mag. Water was at 6.5 ph until I got a better runoff, it went from 5.7 to 6.0 PH and from 1800 to 700-600ppm 😬 I have never thought of overdoing nutrients so much.. I will certainly learn a lot from these mistakes 🙌🏻

The plants are all really taking off nice bud growth and very healthy looking canopy. Plants are going through water every 3 days on the dot now. I have noticed that one plants buds are showing some purple hues but the others remain colorless so far. The Smell is really nice already. Very fruity it reminds me of fruit loops. My light is on full blast and the plants are praying nicely. There have been no signs of stress from the flip. I will likely defoliate a bit at the end of the week to make sure everything can get as much light as possible.

This week I Realised I'd used the wrong feed chart so I was over feeding 🙄 the leaves burnt on a few plants so I've only fed them water this week and will resume feeding from next week. There are still no pre sex pistils showing but it can't be far off now. As soon as pistils start to show I'll start feeding bloom feed. I've turned the light up to 30000lux using HLG's online calculator for converting a lux meter/app reading to PAR , my light is 3000k which with lm301H Led's works out @ 465ppfd which is about the max the plants can use in veg without supliments co2. Here's the link for anyone using quantum boards, it has different spectrum calculators. It's been really useful setting my light up so big thank you to HLG (even though I have a Geeklight) and a thank you to the GML show on YouTube for bringing it to growers attention (I love that weekly show, so much info and perspective) https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/blogs/calculators/converting-lux-to-ppfd Hope everyone's staying safe and growing 😎

Comenzamos semana nueva sin síntomas apreciables de flor . Las plantas han crecido bastante esta última semana llenando totalmente la superficie de cultivo. Esperamos terminar la semana viendo algún síntoma más en nuestras pequeñas.💚

Coming into true week 7. The girls are really impressing me. The buds are stacking nicely. The bloody skunk still hasn't flowered yet she look ready thou. The dark devil is really really showing off she's starting to get that purple color coming in. The leaves are starting to get crystals. The critical mass and ak is showing off and the quarter pounder is getting feathery. Started to feed sugar water to the girls in between feedings.

Je me lance dans l'expérience du topping sur ma nouvelle plantation de cannabis. Bien que cela ne soit généralement pas recommandé pour les variétés automatiques, j'ai remarqué que de nombreux blogueurs le pratiquent. Après avoir obtenu de mauvais résultats avec la technique de LST (Low Stress Training), je me suis dit que je ne risquais pas grand-chose. Pour l'instant, je ne remarque pas de ralentissement significatif par rapport au LST. Cependant, lors de mon premier arrosage avec des nutriments, j'ai mis un 8e de la dose recommandée, ce qui a entraîné l'apparition de griffes sur les feuilles... Vraiment déconcertant, je cherche encore à comprendre cette réaction... Topping au 16 ème jour, 5eme noeuds. Engraissage : 1/8 de la dose et apparition de légères griffes sur les feuilles Merci de m'avoir lu 🌱
