Blueberry Muffin Trio

18 Sep 2021 Today starts week 11 of the grow, and week 3 of flowering. I gave the plants what was left of the feeding solution from the previous feeding yesterday, but didn’t do an entry for it 🤷‍♂️. The plants needed to be fed, so I gave them what I had ready. It was about gallon split between the three of them, so just a snack really. Today I’m moving along in the feed chart and upping the level to the Mid-Bloom, step 6 on my feeding chart. As with the previous weeks, I plan to start using only 50% of the nutrient level because all 3 of my Ladies are doing exceptionally well with what I’ve been giving them so far, so I’m going to keep doing it. So far there has been zero nutrient burn, and I’d love to keep it that way! Ok; so not everything is going to be right at 50%, but close enough. I’m going to start feeding them CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2ml, FloraGro 2ml, FloraBloom 2.2ml, Floralicious Plus 2ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. Each plant will be given the above nutrients mixed into a gallon of water. The initial pH for each is as follows: C1 & C2 - 6.3, and C3 - 6.2. I added 1.5ml of pH UP to adjust them up a bit. C1 was adjusted to 6.6, and C2 & C3 were both adjusted to 6.7. The runoff pH still isn’t where I want it to be, but the plants are doing wonderful, so I’ll just keep an eye on it. If everything continues to go well, then nothing need be done. If problems develop, then I’ll address them as they arise. The runoff pH was: C1 - 5.7, C2 - 6.0, and C3 - 5.6. The temp was 82F in the tent at around 2:00pm when I fed them, and humidity was at 69%. I’ve noticed that the humidity in the tent is higher now than it ever has been in previous grows, but still doing great! My plants are looking stellar! I’m extremely happy with where they are now, and with how they’re maturing. I guess I’ll just keep on keeping on. Happy growing everyone!! 20 Sep 2021 Hello everyone! Hopefully you all have been growing some great weed out there on the big blue marble called Earth! It’s feeding time again in The_Good_Twin grow room! Today I gave C1 and C2 what was left of their gallons the other day, but C3 was looking a little parched; so I decided to feed them all all over again. Just a little different. Instead of giving each of them their own gallon; especially since C1 and C2 had already had a bit, I decided to make 2 gallons and split one between those two, and one for C3 by herself. I kept with the same feed levels as the other day, so each gallon received: CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 2ml, FloraGro 2ml, FloraBloom 2.2ml, Floralicious Plus 2ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. The initial pH for both gallons was 6.3. I added 1.8ml’s of pH UP to each gallon which adjusted the pH of both gallons to 6.8. The runoff pH differed a little. C1 was 5.8, C2 was 6.1 (from the same solution), and C3 was 5.7. It seems no matter how I adjust the pH going in, it always seems to be much lower in the runoff water. The plants are doing great, so I’m not going to worry until it seems to be a real issue. It may be nothing. The temperature was moderate outside today, and the tent temperature was commensurate with the outside at 77F. The humidity was at 56% today when I fed them, but was about 65% about 2 hours earlier when I checked in on them. Like I said; my plants are doing great so I’m not worried about anything right now. I’m thinking about upping the nutrients to full strength next time to see how they react. If I get some nutrient burn then I’ll lower them back down. If not 🤷‍♂️, I’ll keep feeding them the full strength. We’ll just have to see how it goes. May all of your ladies give you big, fat, sticky buds!! Happy growing everyone! 22 Sep 2021 So today is the day! My lovely ladies are going to start receiving full strength nutrients for the first time in this grow. I’ve been keeping it at half strength till now, but their bud formation looks to be in full swing. I want to give them plenty of help right now, so their buds can get fat and sticky!! Today all three of my ladies took the full gallon of solution, and had a sufficient amount of runoff. Today they received: CALiMAGic 2ml, FloraMicro 3.8ml, FloraGro 3.8ml, FloraBloom 4.2ml, Floralicious Plus 2ml, and Liquid KoolBloom 1ml. The initial pH for all 3 was 6.1. I added 2ml of pH UP to each gallon which adjusted the pH of C1/C3 - 6.6, and C2 - 6.7. Runoff pH for C1 was 5.7, C2 was 5.9, and C3 was 5.6. I’m not really happy with the runoff pH, but I haven’t been this whole time. All three of my plants are doing awesome, so I’m not going to worry about it until I see cause too. Tent temperature was 81F, with humidity at 66%. My plants look amazing! I believe (so far) that they are the best plants I’ve grown yet. Sadly, none of the clippings I took from them for clones made it. So my Blueberry Muffin run will end with two diaries, and 4 plants. Each of my Trio has long, white haired buds forming in clusters around every node on their branches. All three of them are looking strong and healthy. I’m super happy with their progress to date. Hopefully they respond well to the full nutrients and burst with improved growth. Time will tell. Happy growing everyone!
