Day 64 Flower (Day 106) Today is the first day of the 10th week of flower and I put on a powerful headlight and some magnifying glasses and closely inspected the right girl during the dark period, so the colors from the grow lights didn't fool me. Unfortunately, I found another couple of buds with bud rot. Soon I'll have to decide to harvest the plant now and cut my losses even though she isn't done, or I'll take my chances and let her go a while longer. I turned up my extraction fan, installed another circulation fan, and ordered a dehumidifier that will arrive tomorrow. I'm hoping that all those measures will bring down the humidity in the tent (unfortunately, I can't do anything about the temps) and prevent further rot. I will let her go another few days and see if any additional rot pops up. Fingers crossed that it won't. The left girl is just doing her thing, but it doesn't look like she will fatten her buds. I guess all that stress in the tiny tent was too much for her. No matter what the result of this grow will be, it certainly has been a great learning experience. Day 65 Flower (Day 107) Things are looking good for the right girl as I haven't found any more bud rot yet. Turning up the extraction fan certainly helped, not only with the humidity but also the temperature dropped. Not by a huge amount, but I'll take whatever improvement I can get. Today the dehumidifier arrived as well, and I put it in the tent right away. The humidity in the tent has now dropped from the high 60s to a much more suitable mid-40s, and I hope this will be enough together with additional air circulation to prevent any further rot. I looked a bit closer at the trichomes today and found that most have gone cloudy, and I finally found some amber ones (about damn time!). I'm aiming for around 20-25% amber in this harvest as I'm hoping for a relatively "heavy" smoke - one of those frying-pan-to-the-head kinds of smokes suitable for late nights. Day 66 Flower (Day 108) Still no signs of more bud rot. Fingers crossed All I did today was to mix up some more nematodes in water and then feed each girl with 3 liters of it at ph 6.4. I'm not sure it was necessary for my main tent as the fungus gnats seem to have died out by themselves. I put in a new yellow sticky trap yesterday, but it was still empty today, and many dead gnats were lying on the tent floor. I have no real idea why, as I don't use any pesticides, but maybe the gnats really don't like this new low humidity in the tent. In any case, I'm just happy that the little buggers are gone. Day 67 Flower (Day 109) The bud rot is still staying away, and I'm getting hopeful that it will stay gone. All I did today was to give the right girl 3 liters of pH 6.4 water. She was a bit thirsty as I had the irrigation turned off for a couple of days due to the nematodes I gave them yesterday. I've now turned on the system in each tent and will just cruise along until harvest. The girls are already way over time, but most trichomes are cloudy, and I've started to see some amber here and there. Although, not much of a fade so far. Day 68 Flower (Day 110) All I did today was snap a couple of pics. It's all just a waiting game at this point, and I hope it won't take that much longer. I'm ready to cut the girls down and have some time off before the next season is here. I plan to grow a couple of photo CBD girls in my main tent and maybe an auto in my smaller tent. We'll see. But yeah, first, the current grow must come to an end. It looks like the left girl is starting to get her fade on, so there's that at least. I didn't bother looking at the trichomes today, but I'll have another look in a day or two. Day 69 Flower (Day 111) I didn't do a single thing with the girls today except snapping a couple of pics. What I did, though, was to make a smoke test of the right girl. Let me explain: Earlier this week, I had to cut off four buds due to bud rot. Out of those four buds, I saved two small tops after trimming off all rot (as well as plenty more just to be safe). I left those tops on the tent floor, where they dried in only a few days, and yesterday I decided to try a smoke. Naturally, I can't say anything about taste as this weed is dried the worst way possible: fast, hot, and in the light. On top of that, it's not cured either. That being said, holy smokes, batman! This stuff kicks like a mule, which is why I didn't post this last night already. I was too stoned to care. Precisely the effect I was hoping for from this harvest: properly stoned and incredibly lazy. Boom! Day 70 Flower (Day 112) Today was the last day of week 10 of flower. Not much exciting is happening this late in flower, so it is primarily a waiting game at this point. I did remove the irrigation system from the left girl and will hand water her instead. That cheap system I had was too erratic, and I'm better off without it. Plus, I hope that she will be done soon-ish. She will never win a beauty contest due to her scraggly foxtail flowers, but I'm still happy to get something from her considering all the stress she went through. The right girl has been doing fine all week, and no other bud rot has been seen since I fixed her environment. I rechecked the trichomes today, and still hardly any amber in either girl. I'll let them go for another week, but then it is time for the chopping block. This grow already went a lot longer than planned initially, and it is time to bring it to a close soon.

Day 36 - Start of a new week. Pulled the trigger and decided to drop the screen. Will give this up to 2 weeks to see how it fills out. Girls were pretty busy and sideways anyway from the LST, hopefully this will just keep them a bit more even! The cord not super taught (using hollow PVC conduit so couldnt overdo the tightness) but hopefully enough to keep them space trained. Upped the veg nutes slightly for the last run, took the EC up to 1.5 (was 1.3-1.4) just to give them the final push before flower. There still appears to be a few issues uploading to GD so will get the week 5 time lapse up as soon as they have that sorted!!! Happy growing everyone.

OK this was my 1st grow and I set everything up went through all my controls and away to go ... wrong after pre flower came I couldn't understand why I wasn't getting these ladies to flip.... So I went through everything with runoff feeds Everything you can think of except my timers on the lights and this low and behold was the problem!! where I was going to the tent at similar times everyday the light was on and the timers were set right on the clock except I didn't see the switch on the side that makes the timer work continuously or to how the clock is set....🙈😔 Found this and away to go my ladies had some well needed sleep and away to go they flipped By now these had all bushed right out but were getting no tricomes I now had a hell of a load of feeds and kept up the way I was feeding Water Water Feed and all 4 plants in my tent were all heading for the finish line at the same time.... And now I've cut the Northern and the jack down and from my northern lights I had 200g dry weight I didn't do a wet weight it was too hard to do in the space I had (too many colas and massive nugs along with the stragglers that were lost in amongst it all ) She was really resilient and to have come through all those weeks of no rest and only light for 24hrs continuously I'm surprised that I've got this far Flavours and smells are great and the smoke isn't the strongest but when cure now I will see how this little lady comes on I'm happy for my 1st and have learned so much throughout this journey I will update with more but the next diary will be of the other lady in the tent and will give a more detailed explanation of the full journey but as far as crop goes she gave and gave and gave that little more !! Thanks all for following and I hope my next write up will be all the more detailed for u 😀 As she drys mire and more and I've got the exact weight down her figures are not really changing as I've dried her down as much as I want to ....even if this was something that I wanted to keep as a heavier product weather it was for keeping for myself which is what I will be doing rather than to try to get extra weight if I was doing this grow for resale, but this was never the case it was always a grow I've done to help lower my own smoking costs for my own gain and not resale... So again very happy as these final weights are getting revised there will be more to add to the weight with 1 more plant on the harvest but almost double if not more than doubling what I have already put on but I will change my numbers to 2 lots p .tent and an extremely challenging massive yield OMG 😲 she has yes given given and given more beyond more !!!!

First off this week found some spider mites have managed to get them all other than that week 3 of flower and were seeing a nice even canopy not the biggest of auto flower but has produced a good amount of bud sites. My other lady is budding nicely she looks like shes going to produce some rock hard nuggs update coming next week #automendo #monster genetics

Day 43 let's start week 7! the plants grow and continue to stretch. unfortunately two weeks ago my ph meter broke. last week I started giving 1ml / l of green sensation and the plants seem to have lightened a lot. these days i should have the ph meter back so i can check. all in all they seem to grow well apart from this "yellowing". Day 44 the pH pen arrived and I discovered the cause of the yellowing. the ph was about 5 😭😭😭 now I let it dry well and brought the ph back to 6.7 and given 0.5 l and I wait for it to dry again keep following me to see my progress. it is my first growth and I make many mistakes, leave a like and give me an opinion or advice to improve. good luck and happy day!🌱💚

🌺 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.

Since I started her on hygrozyme, hyshield and ph perfect, it's been nothing but smooth sailing! Such a relief because it seemed to stall last week. New white pistils, a noticeable chunk to the buds. I'm a happy camper now! I know I said I'd start this plant on overdrive last week, but we'll start this week instead. I'm blown away by this plant's color and smell. I mean it doesn't smell like the weed I'm used to. It's like fruit salad nested between a bed of flowers. Heavenly! Honestly, I know this plant won't be as much a yielder as I initially hoped. But the quality will surely make up for that. On top of that, we've got FIVE more banana dads to run, so I hope to get better and better with this strain in the months to come. Biggest mistake has to do with how little nutes I fed this plant whole cycle. I went the minimalist route, feeding mostly low-dose compost tea. Learned my lesson - to just use compost tea as a supplement with my grow style. Thanks again @JhindleHydro for pointing me in the right direction, you may have saved my plant, m8! Almost forgot to mention, I've added a 300w LED flower-spectrum board to help out in the flowering tent. It's no Mars Hydro - But it should do just fine as supplemental lighting.

Auto Lemon is sooo close to harvest now! Gave her Recharge only this week. All trichs are still milky white, no amber yet. Once I start seeing some amber she'll be coming down.😃

12/24/18 Decided to make bubble hash with the trim and small buds from all 4 plants. The bubble hash is now drying. This plant has been a dream to grow. No problems from her at all. I even found a couple keeper phenos as well. The black magic soil and fertilizer, along with the aerated nutrient teas that these ladies were feed worked to perfection. All organic living soil is the way to go! Im not finished yet. I will update this diary soon with dry weight and a smoke report once the ladies are done drying.00000

This week has been great.I'm glad that I was able to pull the plant when I needed to. The weather out here isn't always the best coming towards the end of October. How ever i handle it the best we can. What ive learned to do is wet trim before hang dry. Heres some phots of these glossing nugs. Iknkw ill lose a bitin water weight but im happy none the less. Fire 🔥 This has been a great grow, I learned a lot from Growing out here in new mexico. It was amazing to be able to train these plants 4 into one using training techniques. LST, HST, Defolation & topping all play a roll. It is fun to learn and sharpen my skills. I hope everyone enjoys my diary. Thank you so much Divine seeds. I appreciate the free seeds and the friendly community competition 👌 There's a lot of good growers outthere and I wanna learn from all. Much love ❤️ I'll be back with a smoke review soon

Week 7 Bloom: This girl is still hungry. I’m still feeding twice a week. I think my grow room is too hot for the plant. In the evenings I’m opening the tent up and letting fresh air get inside. May need to consider finding a way to keep it cool in there for her. The silver is really here now on this girl, So many Trichomes 😍. The buds on this thing are so big, and I still have about a month of growing left on her. I think I’m going to have some monster buds at harvest.

It is slowly coming together for a flower flip 🙏. This is my first photo period grow and I feel that I have learned so much during this grow when it comes to topping, lst, lollipopping and defoliation. Thank you Youtube for that. I am so happy with my 10 main colas now. I will flip to flower (12/12) the 29 th of December.

So far the best plants here without a doubt are the Grapefruits witch are covefed in frost, followed by the Kola Kushes than are not as frosty but are doing well, and finally the Ble Dreams wich are being absolutely disapointing, with hughe internodal spaces with only a few sad calyxes growing on them...
