That superbud looks like it's getting close. Maybe another 2 weeks for the Blackberry? I'm not too experienced with autos man. They are frosting up nice.

You have a real small pheno with the blackberry, mine is 45cm and still growing upward at 19 days flower. Good luck with the last couple weeks bro.
Thanks bro. Well the hairs have started goin brown on both now so im thinking we are nearly there. Wanting to chop them (both hopefully) on my birthday (26th). So thinkin of flushing them on monday / Wednesday and just give water from then on. Any auto growers reading think this should b ok??

This auto blackberry has no known lineage or info, probably completely different to nirvana's version(I think that seedbank's tacky anyways).
What mediums are yours in? I'm only gonna flush for the last 6 days as they're in rockwool, soil should be a bit longer.

What's your plans after they finish? gonna do another grow?. good luck.

the blackberry is in soil just. this was half compost from my friends compost heap & half potting soil from the local shops. not the best obviously. gonna get some good soil for my next grow from the local hydro shop. thinkin of flushing for the last 1.5 - 2 weeks, not sure really on flushing, have heard a lot of arguments on the requirements of it. many people seem to believe it isnt needed, some the opposite. also, not sure how long i should do it with my superbud, (if im gonna do it at all). will see.
the super bud is gettin really yellow sadly. wont make the mistakes i made this grow the next time.

Yeah, im goona start a few WW seeds which was my main order (the current grow was the freebies :) lol) got 3, was gonna plant 2 and a few bag seeds to go in smaller pots aswell. you think that would be too many for a 1m-1m-2m grow tent? im not sure yet as this gorw seems tiny for the tent (due to my mistakes) so not sure what it would hold successfully.

Try rockwool medium, its a neutral medium that's easy to manage and is very aerated giving a nice wet/dry cycle. My Blackberry is an example of excellent growth from rockwool, monster stems and leaves and very very big laterally.

Definitely flush your plants bro! flush on the last week and they should be sweet because they're only 1-2ft high.

very nice m8!! keep it up bro!

havent looked into rockwool as a medium yet. only tried soil (about 10 grows) and this first hydro grow. I think my blackberry should be nice and chunky by the end, and yours will give a great yield by the looks off it XD good luck m8

thanks mate.

definitely look into rockwool bro, soil is just so annoying and not effecient indoors lol, spill some rockwool on the ground and its all good, soil is a different story...
What's your favourite strain so far? yeah hopefully they swell up and get dense. you too mate, all the best.

hay guys, havent had an update in a wee while.

plants are gettin chunky and very solid, tried squeezing the Blackberry, was like trying to squeez a brick! very impressed it has filled out soo much. got about 1% amber trics. think i will cut her down next week some time.

the Superbud is goin the same way. gettin quite solid (not quite as much as the Blackberry), but gettin there. It looks aweful sadly, the leaves are all yellow, showing a lack in a lot, but gonna cut on later this week / start of next week, so not overly worried.

will put up some pics in a day or two.

Crazy, hows yours goin dude?

Yeah man, my blackberry is dense as hell already!, starting to frost up and has a sweet blackberry lolly aroma.

But don't leaves start to yellow at the end of their cycle? it should be alright mate. My blackberry is still inching its way in height, 19.5 inches.

My Blackberry is starting to turn very sativa in leaf appearance. I hope it is a uplifting/happy high. still feeding veg nutes.

Nice man! I was really suprised how dense it is. Rock solid :-P

My blackberry is on about 75% flower nutes, next feed at 50% and one last at 25% before choping. Gonna wait till about 30% amber (only at about 1% atm).

Superbud is really yellow. Thinkin of choppin her on the weekend (mayb a bud tonight so have a smoke on my birthday on tuesday lol).

Gonna leave it a few days, get everything cleaned and then start some WW :-) lookin forward to that grow :-P

Start flushing now man, It's essential to get all the nutrients out of the plant before chop. It will probably fuck the taste will it not being fully flushed, especially in soil. Rockwool and other light density mediums flush out the nutrients fast.

Which seedbank is the widow from? shantibaba from mr nice seeds is the only one with the original parents.

Best of luck for the harvest bro.

i got them from sea of seeds (the one on this forum) with the load of freebies :)

ill start with just water on the next one, think in a day or so. should i fully flush or just water with pure water?

i chopped the superbud tonight. all the leaves were yellow and all trics were cloudy. i know its early but did it anyway. came out at about 275g wet so should get about 2oz when dry (i hope lol)

will get a pic up in a bit, laptop is being shit lol

Na but which breeder? .

I'm not to sure what you mean by fully flush, but just give it lots of cold fresh water to stress the plant into producing more resin glands.

If it's dense it should be 1/4 of the wet weight. Cloudy is fine bro, it will be more of a heady high!. Mine is starting to put on some trichomes and is fattening up.

lol, it was royal queen seeds.

fully flush, i mean run a few gallon through it to wash off the roots, or just water it normally (about 2 ltr) ?

it is quite dense, the blackberry is way denser tho lol. can wait for that beast to get chopped. gonna leave it at least another week + as its only got about 2% amber trica atm, and i think it can still add some weight :)

you got any pics of your superbud + Blackberry?

Hey mate, sorry haven't been on here in awhile.

Fully flush the BB in the last 2-3 days, feed fresh water 5 days before full flush I reckon. Very very nice superbud! I see why it's called that now.

Here's the beast DSC00893 bb1.jpgDSC00882 bb2.jpgDSC00892 bb3.jpg
