I have been a neglectful grower this past week! I haven’t watered my baby in 7 days!! Terrible, I know. However, you can’t tell she’s been neglected by looking at her. She looks great! Stretch is on in full force; although she’s not nearly as stretchy as her Blueberry Muffin tent mate! I had to remove that one from the tent as I was watering because when I spun her around to get the water evenly distributed, one of the Blue Ox branches got broken off at the main stalk of the plant. 😱 I immediately got it and put it in water to try and save it. Anyway, I’m still going to be giving the “Early Bloom” stage of nutrients for at least another week. I gave her a whole gallon of chilled water (54.3 degrees F) with CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraGro 2.5ml, and FloraBloom 10ml. pH was 6.8 and didn’t need adjusting. The TDS going in was 932 ppm. Runoff pH was 6.4, and TDS runoff was 1236 ppm. Tent temp was 79 degrees F, and humidity was 44%. I trimmed the lower branches off the stem that broke off and replanted it into its own solo cup with fresh soil in a Rapid Rooter cube bathed in cloning powder mixed into a paste. I have no idea if it will be saved, but I did the same thing with a branch that broke from my DarkStar Kush and it kept growing and has 4 huge buds growing on it. This branch is longer and has more buds already forming, so I’m hopeful to say the least! 🤞
Frrrroooosssty! Maaaan, I really gotta try growing photos. I heard one can learn about plant structure and play/experiment more with that veg/flo light control.... They look amazing man! Looking forward to that smoke report!
@XII_XII_MrGreen,
I’m hoping that’s the case. Honestly, I have no idea what a normal yield is for a single plant. My first plant was allowed to veg so long due to my inexperience that I can’t really expect every plant to have the same type of yield. My first plant gave me 7.79 ounces, or 220+ grams, and it’s size took up my whole tent. This baby girl and her tent mate together don’t take up the amount of space that their predecessor did alone. However, I expect her yield to be more common and realistic. Time will tell. Thank you for the compliment, I truly do appreciate it.
@MrHightimes,
Thanks. I’m lucky they’re still alive at this point. Their resilience is surprising, but wonderfully appreciated (by me) because the flowers (actual flowers, not bud) outside have all died as a result of my being injured, or busy. They (Blueberry Muffin and Blue Ox) have not. Lucky me!
