An interesting discovery was made with this plant’s pot, I observed how having a row lesser of drainage drastically effected how I water this lady. Her grow medium swamps up if I maintain a 1lt daily water schedule, which would result in drowning the roots, luckily my grow medium has sponges up when wet, allow the slow irrigation to take place to avoid root rot. Luckily it’s spring time and in Mzansi(South Africa) it is hot enough to push my greenhouse’ temperature higher than the outdoor temperature, to encourage some form of evaporation and humidity, next week I will add pictures of the thermometers, and you can see the drastic difference in temperature.

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.

A very healthy week 2

well, another week goes by and it's growing not like I expected hehehe but that's ok, living and learning, and for now I'll just wait for this cycle to end to start a new one and post it here and I'll tell you right away that I ordered a kit advanced nutrients starter and will test it on the new cycle. =D

Slight defol this week and top dressed some One Shot since they are fading early without amendments 🌱

Although we have arrived and exceeded the time to harvest according to the breeder's specifications, I have decided to keep them under the lamp a little bit more in order to see a last push. Furthermore I haven't seen too many amber colored trichomes so this helped me to maintain it. I don't have the right tools to observe them either, so I'm somewhat hesitant about the time of harvest. Maybe I'll cut the biggest ones and keep the little ones a little more under the light. Anyway I saw that pure sativas can stay flowering between 100-120 days so I think I'm not so wrong.

Was considering a 20/4 cycle on flowering but after snapping the stem I've brought that in now to try and aid recovery in any way I can. Spotted pistils after a trim to the Strawberry Banana on day 22, thing about to get interesting! Last bits of LST and such for her this week but the Gorilla Cookies still has a bit to go and probably even more after the stem incident 🤦‍♂️Speaking of which, little RAM fan gave up this week so I got a bigger one to cool things better but in the process of setting it up I took out a lower branch on the Strawberry Banana, not to bad as it was only a spindly little thing and the space has been utilised to bend some others over giving even more light access. Going to start adding a small amount of bloom to the feed for her now but the Cookies are still on a 10th of the recommended dose but doing well for it spreading out nicely! By the end of the week pistils were really coming out on both girls so a big trim was given and a probable last round of LST to really let the light in! All looks good right now!

Hatte leichten Pollen Flug im tent... Eine von den Damen hatte Nüsse bekommen, hab sie alle versucht zu entfernen aber leider war es nicht so erfolgreich! Ich hoffe jetzt nur das es mein grow nicht zu sehr schadet😓

Fin'ora tutto bene a un mese di fioritura ho cambiato l'acqua, c'è un problema l'acqua è a 25/26° ogni tanto ci metto delle bottiglie congelate e aumento il perossido d'idrogeno

18.07.2021 Endspurt für Runtz! Nächste Woche noch. 20.07.2021 Die letzten Tage gings wieder raus, da endlich wieder gutes Wetter. Runtz bekommt schon ein paar Tage nur noch ph Wasser, 1.5l bei 6.5ph. 22.07.2021 Ernte für Fastbuds Forbidden Runtz 😍😋 🌱🙏😎

Es hat sich hier so langsam ausgeblüht. 9 Wochen Blüte sind rum. Wird jetzt nur noch mit Wasser gegossen. Die Blätter werden nach und nach entfernt. Die kommenden Tage wird geerntet. Yiehaah😜

I think I made mistake,is only 11 cm tall and what I can see is starting in flower stage. I used only water,please any advice.

2/26/24. So I flipped these girls 3 days ago. Not sure what’s going on with them? They look like they have little buds starting or something..and they kinda looked like that before I flipped them. I think that’s maybe not normal? I’ve looked at lots of diaries and haven’t noticed that until a couple weeks in. I’m hoping all is okay. The tops all seem very light in color as well, compared to the rest of the plant. Also getting a bit of what appears to be some sorta burn on the tips and some light coloring in between leaf veins-which by looking at deficiencies is similar to magnesium def. So kinda wondering what to do. Slight tip burn and deficiencies? Hmm could be lighting issue maybe. Going to keep an eye on it. Gave transition feeding. Seems early for any smells from what I’ve researched.. but yeah.. there’s a slight smell coming from the tent 😳

So this was a simple going grow!!! It’s strange how the hot so big under the light! I had one blue cheese under the same light and tent and it was way smaller!! Anyway 1 of these has come out perfect very happy the other two I’m not to sure the hairs were still pointing up but I really don’t have the time to have them going another week there already over the time they was supposed to be done but yeah I’d say out of 10 I’d rate this blue cheese growing experience a 6 out of 10 hopefully this improves when it’s dry!!!

Kleines Süppchen gekocht um das Bodenleben nochmal anzuregen, Bat Guano Flüssig Fermakor Zuckerrohrmelasse 2x Bannanenschalen 24h Sauerstoff zugeführt und eben die Hälfte gegossen, hoffe das es die jungen Wurzeln nicht verbrennt

Frosty Frosty Frosty! To be a bunch of bag seeds I am beyond happy so far! Have not had very many problems, they have been great with LST and defoliation!

Well, after 6 weeks of veg and 1 week of flower, things are looking great! Gave them an extra boost of both bloom and veg to get them into stretch and bloom formation. Next feeding will concentrate more on bloom. Lowered temperatures by 5 degrees all round. It's now 25°-27°C throughout the day and down to 23° at night. Hoping to lower the temperature to 18° during the last week to bring any colours out.

They all basically look the same at this point. Plant 4 popped a day later so it’s a little smaller. At day 12 I sprinkled some great white shark around each plant. And added just 1 tsp of green harvest bone meal.
