Greetings, fellow cultivators! Week 4 unfolds like a horticultural saga, and my Blackberry Auto stands tall, embracing the essence of growth with an unrivaled fervor. Join me in this chapter of lush greenery, where every leaf and branch tells a tale of meticulous care and bountiful development. Blackberry Auto continues her magnificent journey, reaching impressive heights. The AutoPot Aquavalve, now a trusted ally, facilitates her insatiable thirst as she drinks with an enthusiasm that mirrors the vitality within. It's a spectacle of growth, a testament to the plant dictating her hydration destiny. The foliage has evolved into a lush expanse of enormous leaves, each a work of botanical art. These mammoth leaves, reminiscent of a thriving aquatic canopy, are not just solar panels; they are the powerhouse of photosynthesis, fueling the plant's vigor. A choreography of low-stress training unfolds as I gently bend branches, coaxing them to open their arms to the light. This ballet isn't just about shaping the plant; it's a dance with nature, enhancing light penetration and encouraging lateral growth. The result is a structured beauty that maximizes the potential for robust bud development. Blackberry Auto, now an arboreal masterpiece, orchestrates a symphony of green. The leaves, like musical notes, dance in the breeze, capturing the essence of the plant's vitality. It's not merely a cultivation effort; it's a collaboration with nature, where each element harmonizes to create a living work of art. As we traverse into the fourth week, I can't help but anticipate the berry bounty that lies ahead. The plant's stature, the size of the leaves, and the orchestrated branch structure all point towards a promising yield. Blackberry Auto, with each passing day, unravels the potential for a bountiful harvest. A heartfelt thank you to @fastbuds_official for gifting us this horticultural marvel. To my sponsors, your support is the driving force behind this green journey. Kudos to Grow Diaries for providing the platform to show this botanical saga, and a shoutout to the community for the shared passion that adds depth to our collective cultivation narrative. As the saga continues, I invite you to witness the unfolding chapters of Blackberry Auto's odyssey. Together, we cultivate not just plants but a shared love for the botanical realm. Stay tuned for the upcoming adventures in this GreenThumb Symphony! 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

This week I carry on feed her 5ml bloom 2.5 ml big bud next Week I flush her for 2 week so no much to go Today day 97 and I done last feeding with nutrient now will flush her around 10 days then 2 days darkness then chop her down bud it's not big nut they very heavy and dense hop she give me good yield after long time

It looks to me like GSC1 it right on schedule and will finish up in about 2 more weeks. I just hope the nutrient burn doesn't effect the yield too much

Final week before chop. She is looking and smelling incredible at this point.

Super stoked on my fastbuds420 run This one has been absolutely one of my favorites💯

Welcome to week 4 of flower!!! I expect the ladies to slow right down in the stretch and start to focus on fattening up those flower sites. The plants have been going hard since day 1 of flower and I expect they will continue to go hard until the very end! Huge shout outs to @MarsHydroLED and Hidden Vault Genetics for their outstanding work on gear and genetics that make growing a blast! HUGE shout outs go to all my followers and people who stop into the diary alike! Keep on giving out those positive vibes! Follow along and stay tuned wont be long now till we got monster flowers! -The Projexx Day#22F Ladies continue to stretch along , MacMelonz still has some stretch time on her. Day#23F Pictures N/A. Some of the plants are beginning to focus on thickening up their flower sites! Day#24F Ladies are still stretching it out , some are almost 4 feet tall now! Day#25F Banana Smoothie is throwing off the wildest Banana Cream terpenes, the other plants are starting to throw smell too but not as hard as Banana Smoothie. Day#26F Lots of the flower tops are starting to put on mass now. Day#27F Pictures N/A. Creamy Cereal is deff pumping milk and fruit terpenes now. Day#28F Ladies are just cruising along and mostly starting to focus on flowers now. MacMelonz will still stretch for a week or so. Recap: Things went really well this week , the ladies are absolutely exploding and starting to put on mass. With 6-7 weeks left it will be quite exciting to see the end results and the terpene profiles of each plant! Overall really happy and cant wait to see what next week brings!

I did not have enough time to cover everything with pictures but right here i am posting the flowering process without too much info, enjoy the videos and pictures.

June 16th - 7 days after sowing in the 11-liter final pot

Pictures are taken 20 mins after watering left the soil to dry out. The plant on left that is further ahead doing good noticed cal mag issues on plant on right not to worried as reaching harvest time soon anyway but still added some with watering just to be safe . Other than that pretty happy

This last week shit got really frosty !! The monkey berries is wicked the terps are creamy sour milk and cherry halls mmmmmmm I’m thinking about 7 to 10 days more then start flushing the monkey berries . Slurricane is putting on the weight like there’s no tomorrow and frosty too with 4 weeks to go she will be my best run by far, terps grapefruit and sweet skunk

The time is finally here to post the harvest. I waited till it was all done and dry before updating the dairy so will add in the dry weights next on the 2nd half of the harvest entry. I enjoyed this plant a lot, its grew well and loved how it was shorter and fatter. I wonder if it was at the dame distance from the plant if It could have done even more. Had some issues with the yellowing that was happening on the other plant in this tent. I should have treated this faster with a flush but was super reluctant and it may have hurt the yields a bit. The top best looking buds looked and smelled amazing even the lower buds where doing well not so larfy like the other plant. There was crazy strong smells with this plant, sour berries and hints of lemon, it was a best smelling plant I have grown to date. This would be a great plant to grow for beginners, cant take a lot of stress and still produces quite well and even on lower wattage leds it was good. It was not the most crystally looking plant, not like the maltezerz but still had some finger hash buildup but a small amount. I feel this plant would be a winner for a rosin press. I don't plan on growing this strain out again despite me liking a lot of qualities about it. I'm only trying to grow cbd dominate plants is the main reason. If my friends really like this I have some clones so can always give them some. Speaking of clones they are doing well outside, greened up a lot and showing signs of revegging. Took some photos of the weed hang drying on day 1 in the tent and a week later to show how much they shrink. Only some of the lower growth is larfy, will make good edibles or hash, that will be a fun project to do and may include that in my projects diary. That's about all I can think of if you have any questions just ask. m0use Disclaimers: 1. I have divided the total watts of light in half, 300w(150w) for this diary. It will accurately reflect the g/w ratio as the two plants growing in this tent are listed in two separate diaries. 2. I include any shake/trim in my gross totals as I use them to make edibles. 3. I did not follow any proper ways of listing my nutrients. Some are ml/l of total solution watered, others ml/l of total medium and some are just the total amounts I added, not as a ratio.

I converted the cents into dollar amounts beforehand to avoid dividing by 100. 8.2c/h = 0.082$/h 438h * 0.17c/kwh = $74.46kw * 0.15kw = $11.17 on peak 522h * 0.113c/kwh = $58.99kw *0.15kw = $8.85 mid peak 1,272h * 0.082c/kwh = $104.30kw *0.15kw = $15.65 off peak The "h" hours and "kw" kilowatts cancel out and we are left with a value of $ dollars per peak period, add all the peak periods up and you get your total cost of running the lights in dollars. $11.17 + $8.85 + $15.65 = $35.67 for the grow light only. My light grew for 20 weeks and 4 days, or 144 days. almost 21 weeks total. $35.67 / 144d = 0.2477$/d average of about 25c a day in electricity 337.2kw for the entire grow. Using the regular calculation of grams harvested divided by watts used is not accurate to me, it does not account for all the time the lamps are on, the length of grow to the over all cost. The calculation that makes sense to me is this, harvested dry weight of usable cannabis buds/trim/keif/whatever in grams divided by total kw used. Could also combine it with grams per total single use costs “anything you used only for this grow and wont reuse in the next, or fractions of multi use items like fertilizers if they ½ full” and see how much you’re investing per gram. "kw" ÷ "g" = kw/g "$" ÷ "g" = $/g I have harvested 4.57oz or 129.6g on 337.2kw. 337.2kw ÷ 129.6g = 2.60 kw/g of usable cannabis. This is not an ideal ratio for me and looks like a lot of energy waste happened from the extended veg period. $35.67 ÷ 129.6g = 0.28c/g It cost 28c/g when comparing total electricity cost to gross yield, almost identical to the comparison of total electrical cost to the number of days in the grow 25c/day. Neat! legend, kwh = kilowatt per hour kw = kilowatt w = watt h = hour c = cents $ = dollars d = day LED= Light Emitting Diode

This thing is insane! Rapidly growing everyday. I need to keep it under control for another for about 30 more days before I can fit it in my other tent.
