week 6 of flower and she is starting to put on the weight. Buds have not got more frosty, not sure if its the strain or I've missed something. We are going to go with it the strain and not me, LoL. RQS says 8 to 9 weeks for flower. We will see how accurate that is. i'm going to give some Silica this week to see if it will help with trich production.

Im feeding her steadily at around 825ppm every morning monitoring any possible deficiencies. I did defoliate quite a few leaves from the to[ and bottom once I felt that she is thriving happy and growing more vigorously during the stretch. I raised the light a full 2 feet. during week 1 and now at the end of week 2 the tallest stalk is about 14 inches while most are around 20. reason for a few stalks being taller is because of what happened when our 3rd plant ended up being a male during the transition to 12/12. Im not gna try anything crazy to try and fix it. Obviously there are no problems so dont fix whats not broken I guess. Have a great week !

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

things are still going great. She’s still at 18/6 light schedule. No nutes yet, in a month or so I’ll start with molasses and water, for the natural sugars when I put into flower.

All feeds with nutes use either a whole ratio or combination of "Veg Mix" and "Bloom Mix"concentrates DILUTED in water until a total ppm of add in is reached using a (Total Dissolved Solids)TDS Meter measured in PPM (parts per million). The "Veg Mix" concentrate will eventually be added in smaller ratios and "Bloom Mix" concentrate what will eventually replace the "Veg Mix" concentrate entirely with the ppm and ratios listed when I feed. Veg mix recipe is on week 3. Bloom Mix recipe is on week 5. Day 42 Morning check after defoliation. PH solution seems to be working! Almost no new spread of the issue/deficiency (regardless of what it was) Checked ppfd and got UL470, LL460, UR450, and LR440 over each of the colas. Temp/humidity steady still at 1.0 VPD 74F/63%RH/33% IL Vent scraped a little soil off the top to see that it's still really moist so I likely wont be feeding until tomorrow morning. Soil seems somewhat compacted, and ph readings were slightly lower, but still perfect in the safe zone 3 readings: 6.44,6.57, and 6.42 for avg 6.476 Day 43 Normal stats on VPD - same 74F/63%RH/33% IL Vent. ppfd over colas UL 490, LL 480, UR 470, LR 460 Still showing a slow progression of spots and yellowing on oldest leaves (like day 5 from initial occurrence, so very slow compared to past spread) I feel ph on a stressed plant was the biggest factor. Soil is still mostly damp to about an inch from the top but will be feeding tomorrow morning. Day 44 Normal status with VPD 1.0 - 74F/63%RH/33%ILVent -- ppfd (after dunk) UL490, LL480, UR470, LR460 Calibrated meters and tested - prepared feed water- started with 3.5 gallons of 274ppm de-chlorinated tap- used 500ppm of 80/20 veg/bloom mix, pinch of epsom salt and squirt of h2o2. Checked soil ph got 3 readings of 6.55, 6.65, 6.52 for avg of 6.573 so I ph balanced my feed to 6.3ish Weighed pot for reference and saw 13lbs 10oz- dunked pot for 10 secs, lifted and hung over drain container - recorded the stream and drip videos when I then replaced and checked ppfd again. Runoff showed 6.3ish ph and 2000 ppm (lower than my normal ppm of 2500 to 2600 my hypothesis is she's using them up so good time to feed) rare side view of main-line base included with end of process pictures. Did some LST with binds to train colas to position - I plan for 6 to be tied to ring and 2 in the center but at the same height by the time they grow past the support ring - I have them tied at the base of the first node and the pot - the center 2 colas are being trained too, but are tied off to the opposite side directly to the plant. looks like a hot mess for now - hopefully my vision will come through in a few days. Day 45 Morning check after extensive LST yesterday - VPD is all stable 74F/63%RH/33%ILVent - not taking ppfd readings as she's still under the ring and I seen these readings yesterday and the day before - I plan on taking ph readings later today, but for now this is what I got. Took ph readings - think I discovered hot spots of the woodash washing around the top - not detrimental since they are all with-in the range Im okay with (6 to 7) but worth note since I retested several times and got the same readings in these locations. also did a little more LST with slightly adjusting for level Day 46 vpd was normal 75F/64%RH/33%IL Vent - ppfd needed adjustment as the outside limbs were down to about 460 - so I moved the lights down to about 30 inches from 32 - and now the light measured 480 at lowest 490 around most limbs and the center is up to 530 - I will watch for light burn in that space other than that all seems normal today, binds are still holding as placed and tops are turned/growing. the previous stress and nute issues seem to be in hindsight now. Day 47 Soil ph was 6.54, 6.38, and 6.55 for an avg of 6.49 (last 2 readings were taken at yesterday's hot spot, seems to have cooled a bit now.) VPD normal with temps/humidity about 74F/63%RH/33%ILVent --defoliated today so ppfds were taken after that, outer ring showed lowest at 470, and most at 480 with highest 490, and center colas 500 and 510 Defoliation of 16 oldest leaves at first node where my ties are bound. I left the growth tips for last. the leaves showed what I hope to be the last of the ph issues scared on them... very much better than the last ones I took off LST of the branches to ensure that ties are still under the first node and level the tops with the ring as much as possible - I feel the better I get this part the less there will be any need for LST or HST later so, last thing - I topped again for 16 total colas - I might be reaching too far, but am also thinking ... 1st time gains experience that I can adjust later in future grows. Also removed the growth tips from the first nodes. So what's left? a single branch into 2 into 4 into 8 into 16 with all of the tops cut at the first node except the last set of tops were taken at the 2nd node and first was at the 3rd node - there are no growth tips or fan leaves between the roots and the 16 colas (hopefully providing all resources to those points only from this point on) fingers crossed it doesn't kill her and she recovers better than in past toppings. Day 48 The tent is a little hotter than usual so I increased ILVent to 50% and reduced the heater by 2 degrees. So far there doesnt seem to be any issue showing on the plant but dont want it to become one either. So I will monitor the temps throughout the day as well. ppfd was nearly same as yesterday with 470 as the lowest and mostly 480 to 490 around the ring with 510 and 520 in the center no signs of stress so far from yesterdays barber visit but keeping a close eye on the burnt tips from before - I suspect that if there's any place for stress to show up, that would be where to look first.

The three girls are almost switching into flower, so this week i'll start with a low dosed flowering mix in terms of nutes Differences between the three are huge, there is no doubt that the three different environments we've put them in are definetely putting their mark on the growth and overall character of the plants. the signs of light deficiency on plant number 3 are showing clearly: its brittle and very wide spread, you can tell its looking for more light. Number #2 gets the most light and is hardly stretching at all. it seems like a crop of lettuce. Number #1 gets plenty light, not showing any signs of slowing down however i'm noticing that this one consumes less water (probably has to do with temp/RH levels being different due to the different lamp) than number #2. Probably should give #2 some more straight water because its consuming so much water and i do not want to overfeed it. I think #1 is doing fine and can do with a little less water, but with nutrients. #3 is hardly using any water it seems like, i'm thinking of moving it next to a radiator so it should be able to get a quicker absorbtion and vaporisation of water in its system, hopefully charging it with some more power. Just did some LST on day 29 as well, including removal of 2 leafs of both #1 and #2. Not sure if it should be considered defoliation though.. Don't think so ;) ------------ end of week 5: i've flushed plants #1 and #2 as seen on a video on youtube. the idea behind this is to flush out any leftover grow nutes and start with a clean slate when the girls transition into flower. as an added benefit i've discovered that it is much easier to maintain a beneficial VPD value when the earth is completely soaked once a week instead of watering it with smalller portions more often. The earth contains a lot more water and evaporates it into the climate, easily reaching a 60% RH without a humidifier in these fridges. I've even lowered the lamps to get the temps up, because the VPD was reaching values below 0.90.

Very happy overall, had some difficulties hitting the sweet spot through the cycle but managed to pull it through brilliantly at the end. This is definitely a very deserty and cookie like strain. Oven baked freshness!

Moved the light 20cm up and it seems like she appreciated the change. Now that the temperature and the humidity level are more stable, she should grow faster. UPDATE: TOPPED! My 2 Royal Highness are still seedlings, while all the other plants (Gorilla included) are getting bigger and bigger every other day. Let’s say I had to top these ladies (also) to wait the Highnesses. Come on babies!! ❤️

Hello, my green connoisseur! The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived—the Harvest Report for our botanical queen, Jealousy, in the Power Buds competition. This has been a journey filled with anticipation, and now, we stand on the shores of botanical triumph. Jealousy, in her final act, bestowed upon us a generous yield of 195 grams of dry bud. It's like a cornucopia of green abundance, a testament to the meticulous care and strategic decisions made throughout this green saga. Each nugget is a jewel, a culmination of weeks of growth, love, and dedication. But the story doesn't end there. Jealousy, in her love for the trim bin, gifted us a beautiful golden pollen. This precious powder, transformed into ash via the French Cannoli style. Also gave me a Charas/Finger Ash ball. It's like capturing the essence of the plant in a tangible form—a botanical relic that encapsulates the spirit of our green empress. Now, let's talk about the auditory symphony that accompanied the harvest. The sound, reminiscent of a tree making timber, is like nature's applause for the bountiful harvest. It's the soundtrack to a successful cultivation venture, a melody that resonates through the grow room, echoing the grand finale of this green symphony. The drying process, carried out over two weeks with a temperature of 17°C and humidity at 58%, is like the slow and methodical crafting of a fine wine. Each day, the buds undergo a transformative journey, evolving from freshly harvested flowers to dried and cured masterpieces. And now, the pièce de résistance—the preservation of terps with the Grove Bag featuring Terploc technology. It's like locking the aromatic essence of Jealousy in a time capsule, ensuring that every toke carries the full spectrum of flavors and aromas. The anticipation for the smoke report is palpable, as the strawberry candy profile promises an exquisite sensory experience. Reflecting on this entire journey, from germination to harvest, it's like turning the pages of a botanical epic. The decisions, the challenges, and the moments of sheer joy have shaped the destiny of our green empress. It's a narrative that will be retold, shared, and cherished in the annals of our horticultural adventures. As we conclude this harvest report, let's extend our heartfelt thanks and shout-outs to Zamnesia, Plagron, Grow Diaries, and the vibrant community. Your support and contributions have been the guiding lights on this extraordinary green expedition. To my fellow contestants and growers, may your own harvests be as abundant, flavorful, and joyous as this one. Here's to the culmination of our shared green dreams, the thrill of the harvest, and the anticipation of what lies ahead. Stay green, stay inspired, and keep cultivating those dreams! With true love comes happiness. Always believe in yourself and always do things expecting nothing in return, with an open heart. Be a giver, and the universe will respond in ways you can’t even dream of . Friendly reminder: all you see here is pure research and for educational purposes only.

Two distinct phenos growing here. Both small and tight with very nice frost and nice colors. There are MANY small buds. No main colas, so Im hoping that yield does not severely disappoint. Some very red stems on some of the specimens. Very interested to see the final form these girls take
