Oh so this is my first entry on GrowDiaries. This Red Dragon started from seed I believe sometime early April. It's been in a 2 gallon pot for a good month and now is ready to be transplanted in a 15 gallon cloth pot. I'm probably gonna do that today, with some fiming. I have a mix ready, made of 1/5 dirt,1/5 chicken manure, 2/5 peat moss, 2/5 perlite, and roughly a tablespoon of lime and sulfur, as well as bone meal and stove ashes. I'm a newbie experimenting so feel free to tell me if I'm doing it all wrong :D

Early lemon berry might not be early (har har har) but it sure is gorgeous and the scent is 100% lemon berries. This is about to be the best smelling fruit strain I've harvested to date for sure. Ample flower caked in trichomes. Ethos is one of the best and this is proof. 1 bean popped, 1 keeper cut found.

Runoff ph is a bit high this time. Donโ€™t know why. Around 6.8. Average ph going in is 6.0. Also the big fan leaves on ice cream cakes are kind of strange shaped. Will see how they are going to look later.

Salutations, fellow cultivators! Week 2 unfolds with the grace of a symphony, and the tale of my Blackberry Auto continues to captivate. The journey is both an art and a science, and every green leaf is a brushstroke on the canvas of cultivation. Our heroine has found her throne โ€“ a final 16L AutoPot. What makes AutoPots the crown jewel of cultivation, you ask? These self-watering wonders provide a dynamic, gravity-fed watering system, ensuring the plant receives precisely what it needs when it needs it. It's the epitome of hands-off perfection, allowing the plant to dictate its own hydration destiny. Transplant day is a ritual, a moment where roots meet Mycor Mix magic. This mix, a blend of mycorrhizae species, becomes the plant's ally, expanding the root system and fostering nutrient uptake. It's like giving my Blackberry Auto a superhero sidekick, enhancing her abilities and resilience. The transplantation dance continues with the application of Aptus Holland Mycor Mix on the roots and surroundings. This isn't just a transplant; it's a ritual of care. Mycor Mix establishes a symbiotic relationship, unlocking nutrients and fortifying the soil with beneficial microorganisms. It's a small act with profound effects, ensuring my plant's journey is supported at its very foundation. As the pot receives its royal guest, the soil is adorned with 75g of Aptus All-in-One pellets (NPK). This powerhouse blend provides a balanced nutrient feast, a banquet for optimal growth. The soil is further enriched with Aptus Micro Mix, a harmonious supplement that fine-tunes the nutrient symphony, ensuring every note is in perfect balance. Post-transplant, the ritual concludes with a nourishing bath โ€“ my Veg Aptus Recipe. This elixir, carefully concocted, ensures a smooth transition for Blackberry Auto. It's not just water; it's a potion that whispers the promise of health, strength, and vitality. The week embraces low-stress training, a dance where leaves are gently bent to shape the plant's architecture. Blackberry Auto, the prima ballerina, responds with joy. This technique not only encourages lateral growth but also maximizes light exposure, orchestrating a symphony of photosynthesis. As I witness this botanical ballet, I'm reminded that cultivation is a dialogue between caretaker and plant. Together, we embark on a journey where each element, from AutoPot elegance to Mycor Mix finesse, plays a vital role. Stay tuned for the continued saga of Blackberry Auto โ€“ a story told leaf by leaf, in every graceful twist and turn. 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

So, with these interesting times and what is becoming a fast evolving global catastrophe. I, myself, along with the rest of you ( I hope ) can take some solace in looking after our gardens, to have some peace away from the news, to give our ladies the best care we are able to provide ๐ŸŒฑ If you ever needed any vindication or validation as to why growing your own is best. More than half the world currently in lockdown, and with MJ in short supply, our actions speak for themselves! Anyway, back to this diary. I done a lot of work on the room, invested a lot and tried to make everything as automated as possible. Everything runs on smart plugs, the hydroponic system is DIY and is RDWC which is cooled with a Hailea 150a. 6 plants is what I am going for this time, with a shorter veg length compared to the last grow. I prefer to wait until they show their sex, but if they donโ€™t by week 5, I plan on flipping anyway all being well. I am using 730nm LEDโ€™s that come on 15 mins before lights on, turn off during lights on, and then they come back on when lights go out, and stay on for 15 mins. This should enable me to run 13/11 during flower with little risk. I am also going to add a UVB fixture to my custom rig which will only be used during the final 2 weeks of flower. I have 3 Alibaba lights attached to a custom rig, they really are awesome lights. I tested the room out with an Apogee SQ-520 par meter (PAR map in pics). I have dimmed them down, so PAR is around 500 across the whole canopy, this will be increased to 1000 once theyโ€™re flipped. I vent from my house, to the room and then outside, this increases the CO2 in the room, which I think helped the yields on the last grow, generally CO2 hovers between 470 and 700 PPM. My ladies look a little sick, but tbh, I struggle starting out in Rockwool, and things usually correct themselves within a couple weeks. With the quarantine I have struggled to pick up a humidifier that is capable of maintaining that room, so it has been all over the place since the start. I have opted to go with Royal Gorilla this cycle, letโ€™s see if itโ€™s as potent as RQS says that it is! Good luck all and take care...

Happy with outcome, have to donate something about humidity, even though these strains are ment to handle it but had to pull a bit early because they don't handle it that well at all

well, another week and just watering as needed, it should have yielded a lot more this strain is also not known from a local seed bank but no problem. I think the temperature, because I spent most of it being very hot, didn't let them grow, well, but I'm already starting another cycle and soon I'll start posting more here in another grow =D

She's maturing and getting more ripe and ripe by the day! Top nugs are still growing/foxtailing so their progress is never ending it seems! Gonna check trichomes within the next week. She's getting a super nice fade although not my intention, still very pretty. Very nice frosty, green with purple edges/tips. The sunlight shots of this are gonna be mind boggling! Took the pics on my actual camera phone so the quality was better! The Terps are amazing, and done developing I believe; it's a deep red Fruit Punch + Superboof + sum Pure Michigan hashiness. To die for. Absolutely smells up the entire grow area and most of the house when the doors open! Absolutely gonna be growing Homegrown again; excited for Apple Junky and Garlic Applez grows! Coming soon along with sum In House genetics & Dirty Bird grows aswell!

Harvested the Diesel. Had slight budrot on the main cola, so i didn't wanna take any more chances. Otherwise I would've given it 1 more week or so. The Aroma is very present - I'm now drying in my garage. Outside of it, there is always a hint of weedsmell :) this just spreads

welcome to ๐Ÿ“…Day 29 transition has started 4/12/2021. as she moves into transition she is looking and growing very well but she does have some rusting and I'm not sure why I just hope it does not get to bad. Other then that she is very strong and healthy. I have turned the Mars hydro TS 1000 up to 68% putting out around 32,000 LUX๐Ÿ’ก so far I'm very happy with this light that's it for todays update so happy growing and as always keep your stick on the ice ๐Ÿ’ update ๐Ÿ“…4/14/2021 she is looking good and I'm starting some lolly popping. the canopy looks very even and that's what I like to see I'm going to up the water in the res as they are drinking lots now๐Ÿ’ง update ๐Ÿ“…Day 33 transition 4/16/2021 ok all lollipping is done and so is defoliation not all that's left is to make sure the tops all stay at the same height and I have increased the amount of water to 5 gal from 2.5 gal๐Ÿ’ฆ. I am thinking about a new air pump the has 4 outlets instead of 2 so I can also put air stones in the res at the base of the auto pots as the nute water just sits there for the most part and just films over and I don't like that.
