Blue Ox, Blue Ox, Blue Ox! You’re such a small lady, but your buds make up for your height. She is considerably shorter than her Blueberry Muffin tent mate! I’ve mentioned this in previous entries, but it is what it is, I guess. I’ve had to use some other methods to position her buds up toward the light, but I don’t believe it is stunting her progress. She’s just a short, squat type of girl. She hasn’t been given the care she deserves, but she’s still doing well. I can’t wait to see her fatten up! I’m sticking with the Mid-Bloom nutrients for at least another week. Today I gave her CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml in a gallon of water chilled to 43F. The initial pH was 6.6 and wasn’t adjusted. The TDS going in was 846 ppm. Runoff pH was 6.0, and TDS runoff was 2701 ppm. We’ve been having high temps here for the past week, so the tent temperature today was 86F, and humidity was 48%.

My Blue Ox is developing quite nicely. She’s smaller in height compared to her tent mate, but that’s not a bad thing because her bud formation is doing wonderful! Anyway, I noticed some browning leaves on the side of the fan, and since her tent mate is showing the same signs on some of her leaves, I’m assuming they are getting dried out because of the fan. It’s not bad! Just a few leaves, so I’m not that worried. The rest of her looks good and healthy. I received and started using one of the new nutrient supplements I ordered today, Floralicious Plus. My Liquid Kool Bloom hasn’t arrived yet 🤷♂️. So today I gave her a gallon of water at tap temperature, about 65F, with CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraBloom 15ml, and Floralicious Plus 1ml. The pH was 6.3 and was not adjusted. The TDS going in was 1245 ppm. Runoff pH was 5.9, and TDS runoff was 2777 ppm. The temperature in the tent was 79F, and humidity was 53%. I’m thinking about trying to find something for it to sit on when I come back, so maybe I can get her to use the support net better so her buds are more free to soak up the light! 🤔
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!
