Week 7 flower update I figured out what was going on with my plants. My tap water actually contains a lot of carbonates, which means there’s already plenty of calcium and magnesium in it. Because of that, I shouldn’t have been adding 0.5 ml of Plagron CalMag, since that product is really intended for soft water. The extra calcium started pushing the root zone pH locally up to around 6.5. That made nitrogen more available, but at the same time it partially locked out phosphorus. Because of that the flower development slowed down, while cell elongation increased before proper bud growth resumed. As soon as I realized what was happening, I started dropping the PPM pretty aggressively, step by step, and completely removed CalMag from the feed. While the plants were recovering from the salt stress, I also cleaned up the lower weak branches (about 10% max) to help redistribute energy to the stronger tops. Right now I’m focusing on stabilizing the root zone. Current numbers: Input: pH 5.5 / 575–600 ppm Runoff: pH 6.38 / 730–760 ppm Plants are slowly coming out of the stress. They’re drinking 3 times a day, about 15 liters total (7.5 L per plant). The flowers have started growing again, after being stalled for about 3–4 days. Because of the pH imbalance (too much nitrogen and calcium) the plants started stretching like crazy. The branches were growing so fast they were already hitting the lights and the top of the tent. My tent is 180 cm tall and the pots are about 30 cm, so I basically ran out of vertical space. I had to bend the branches almost 90 degrees, laying them over each other just to keep the canopy under control. Some of them are literally tucked under the carbon filter, and the rest are tied down with wire to keep them away from the lamps. Not the prettiest canopy right now, but it keeps everything below the lights and still getting good exposure.

Afghan Original was developed by crossing several Afghani Indica landraces, so there’s only 100% Afghani cannabis genetics behind it. Potent, sturdy and perfect for novice growers as well as more experienced enthusiasts with bigger demands. A resin production champion it can be conveniently used for hasheesh making! Afghan Original has been probated by hundreds of growers and proven a sturdy, fast growing Indica that yields heavily and can sustain minor mishaps. Afghan Original can be regarded as “the very Afghani cannabis” that any devoted stoner feels obliged to try at least once! Mostly grown out of doors, but Afghan Original works for indoor growing just as brilliantly. Perfect choice for hydroponic/aeroponic setups, green houses and even balconies! Provide at least 18-20 litres for a full-size root system if using soil or substrate. Feel free to make Afghan Original cannabis bushier by using any training techniques such as LST, FIM or topping, ScroG or SoG, mainlining or supercropping. About 35-50% increase in yielding can be expected after training! Resistant to molds. Insect pests are guarded away with aggressive hashy stench – another superpower of Afghan Original! Sometimes plants need supports further into flowering to stay vertical (weighy colas). Outdoor harvesting time is late September – early October.

🌿 Week 4 Veg – Beauty, Branching & Bio-Tech Symphony Grower’s Journal – BlueBerry by Zamnesia Seeds | Entry 005 Welcome to Week 4 of Veg, and let’s just say it clearly: These BlueBerry girls are growing like there’s no tomorrow. Branching like crazy, stretching into their potential, and looking like true queens under the lights. ⸻ 📸 Visuals to Match the Growth This week, we pulled them out of the tent for a special photoshoot, just to honor how gorgeous they’ve become. Their structure is perfect, the leaves are flawless, and the pace of development is exactly where we want it. These are the kinds of plants that make growers pause, smile, and say, “Yes, this is working.” ⸻ 🌱 Nutrition – A Balanced, Thoughtful Feed We’re continuing our Aptus nutrient regimen, supporting explosive vegetative growth while maintaining biological harmony in the root zone: Current Feed (per liter): • Regulator – 0.15 ml: Cell wall integrity, anti-stress armor, and enhanced nutrient uptake • CalMag Boost – 0.25 ml: Supporting structural development and leaf strength • All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml: The nutritional foundation, covering macro and micronutrients • 🌿 Start Booster – 0.25 ml: Still supporting root density, node stacking, and early branching 🌿 Why we’re using this: Because we’re in rapid growth mode, and we want to fuel expansion without pushing too hard. This combo delivers strength, balance, and root vitality, exactly what we want before any training or pre-flower stretch. ⸻ 🌞 Lighting – Now a Two-Zone Setup We’ve expanded the operation—stretching across an 8x8 space, creating two active light zones: ⚡️ Zone 1 – Black Series 600 by Future of Grow • Full-spectrum LED designed for early veg and structured growth • Gentle but powerful PPFD—keeps internodes tight and leaf color rich ⚡️ Zone 2 – THINKGROW Model One LEDs • Ultra-efficient LEDs with controllable spectrum • Ideal for pushing vigorous vegetative growth across a larger canopy • Controlled via the TrolMaster system for precise lighting schedules and dimming 💡 Both systems are delivering clean, cool light, helping shape the canopy while managing energy use smartly. ⸻ 🌬️ Airflow & Environmental Control – Total Tech Harmony We’re not just growing plants—we’re growing a controlled microclimate, with every element tuned: Airflow Setup: • Exhaust: Two 6” inline fans • 1x Spider Farmer 6” Exhaust w/ Carbon Filter – Controlled via Spider Farmer GGS Controller • 1x TrolMaster AeroFan 6” Exhaust w/ Carbon Filter – Controlled via TrolMaster Tent-X Controller • Intake: One 6” fresh-air intake pulling air into the tent 🌀 This system keeps: • CO₂ fresh (~632 ppm) • Temperatures steady (~27°C) • Humidity ideal (~57.4%) • And filters in place keep the air pure, clean, and odor-controlled, even at this early stage 🧠 Sensors & Controllers: • TrolMaster Tent-X Ecosystem – the brains of the setup • Managing lights, exhaust, intake, CO₂, temperature, and humidity • Connected to: • CO₂ sensors • Temperature & Humidity probes • PPFD sensor (light intensity measurements for accuracy) Every zone, every variable is dialed in with care. ⸻ 🌿 Why All This Matters – Creating Plant-Centered Intelligence We’re not just creating a grow tent. We’re creating a living, breathing system that adapts, protects, and encourages growth. Each element, from airflow to light to nutrition, is designed to support the natural intelligence of the plant. And the BlueBerries are responding. They’re thriving, stacking, stretching, and showing gratitude through leaf expression, branch angles, and rhythm. ⸻ 🔮 What to Expect Next Week • More branching, tighter nodes • Early signs of pre-flower development • Possibly early LST if needed • Continued sensor data collection as we dial in the automation ⸻ 🙅‍♂️ What Not to Expect • No topping yet—structure is still unfolding • No transplant (they’re in final 11L fabric pots) • No overfeeding—we’re keeping it steady and strategic ⸻ 🎥 Video Update – Inside the Setup A video has been added to this week’s update, just a quiet visual journey through the setup: 💡 No narration, just the gear, structure, and rhythm of a garden built with intention. The systems speak for themselves. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts – BlueBerry as a Statement This isn’t just another grow. It’s a special BlueBerry run. A classic cultivar grown with modern methods, storytelling, and reverence. We’re blending nature with tech, instinct with data, and roots with rhythm. Thank you for being here. The best is yet to grow. 🌿 With light and love, Your faithful garden companion 🌱💚 DD💚 As always, this is part of our ongoing Grow Series, an open diary of everything we do and why.

Die Lemon Cherry Cookies wird innen so lila, richtig schön anzusehen, leichter Magnesium Mangel den wir aber beheben können, die anderen entwickeln sich prächtig morgen wird entlaubt The Lemon Cherry Cookies are turning a lovely purple color inside, really beautiful to look at. They have a slight magnesium deficiency, but we can correct that. The others are developing splendidly; they'll be defoliated tomorrow.

Hi Growmies,this was the last week of nutes she’s getting. Feels like I completely misjudged how far she is along, as it seems like she has started the ripening process. Ph and ec was in line the whole time, once the leaves started fading i thought that I have a lock out or sth, so I fed canna flush for a day and continued with a fresh reservoir as per my regular feeding schedule, To no avail, as she continues to fade, even after. Not a Biggy, as the trichomes are definitely all far enough along to harvest her after the next week of flushing. Thanks for stepping by and until next week :)

Filter sock clogged up again, I just took the whole filter off, I'm not worried about the smell as it's outside in my shed anyway. Still warm and dry out this week, humidifier barely lasts 24 hours and that's just to keep the RH above 40. Trichs developing nicely, few more weeks to go for sure.

Day 129 Flower 67 Remaining 10?!? WOW! lol they keep plumping up. most have slowed down but some of the colas are still noticeably growing. The plant on the right is quite a bit different then the other two. much shorter and has different looking colas. much more rounded. Also this plant has lots of white hairs on the main colas. Is this a sign they are still growing? how come the other 2 only have a few white hairs and this one is loaded. another distinction is that this plant hasn't really started fading yet. it has a few purple leaves but doesnt have the fade like the other 2? weird? why this plant so different. I'm quite nervous still but its all good, its just because its foreign to me. most the trichs are clear but theres a growing number of milky ones and the odd amber one. this is for the top colas i've been watching. I'm stoked to see the harvest. theres 24 yo yos in there holding up these massive colas! The flush should be any day now. I'm still confused as to know when i'm a week out and to start the flush?!? I understand harvest is when mostly milky with a few clear and amber. I cant believe the crystals on these ladies. its absolutely insane! also sticky as all hell, amazing! I'm very excited, the big day is coming up very quick Thanks again for following along and helping to make this grow what it is, let finish strong! 👌👊👊

Hello, again in touch Russian grower. Today my girls 70 days, 10 weeks. The fruits make me very happy, and the smell knocks me down. Soon I plan to make the harvest Bubblelicious Auto, my patience is not enough, and in appearance we can say that this is a full Mature flower. Despite the additional air filtration and automated odor neutralizers for bathrooms, the smell is coming out the door. But it remains to endure quite a bit, so I'm not afraid. The most difficult is behind, but a lot of pleasant in the future. Bubblelicious Auto - The smell of these plants has become simply stunning, like a hammer blow to the face, I hope the quality of the final product will not be worse. They look like beautiful porn Actresses 😍 In the microscope I see amber trichomes. Neville Haze Auto-lives up to my expectations. They do not have enough space for full flowering, but soon they will be spacious. Because of their neighbors, I can't really smell them. The plant is very cheerful, progressing, but I think it will bloom for at least three weeks. I also have some good news, mail delivery brought me measuring instruments, so now my diaries will be more accurate. I Express my gratitude to all those who follow my progress and support me. Your moral support is very important to us. I'm not going to stop, and promise to please you with new and more interesting diaries. Hope all goes well and the police pass by me! 😎

More pictures to come as this week begins to unfold! Expecting more rapid growth during weeks 3-6. The Bride Cake is the leader for height and daily progress, seems the Dosidos will play a game of catchup during these next few days. 9/29/21 9:44pm I’m noticing a potential calcium deficiency on the bride cake. Bumped up the nutrients to 1.7 EC from 1.1 since they’re picking up in growth rapidly.

This week marks the end of Week 10, and Do-Si-Dos Auto is deep into her final ripening phase. Trichomes have shifted to mostly cloudy with a few ambers starting to show, signaling the early harvest window. Her fade is well underway with noticeable yellowing and some purpling on the fan leaves and bracts — all expected at this stage. She experienced one dryback early in the week that caused temporary leaf droop, but she perked back up quickly after a good watering. Temperatures peaked at 86°F with humidity holding around 45%, keeping the environment within range. Buds are dense, frosty, and continuing to swell. On the final night of Week 10, she was watered with Cal-Mag (1 ml/gal) and the auto-watering base was refilled. Harvest is likely coming within the next week depending on trichome development.
