Beginning of week...
Out of the blue.. For no reason at all.. I went ahead and topped her. The branches are already beginning to form.. so I just wanted to speed them up a little 🤷 lol.. I also removed the bottom node (leaves and branches).. They usually just don't grow like the 2nd, 3rd, etc... and the branches were not symmetrical whatsoever lol.. That really grinds my gears (it really bothers the shit outta me lol).. She is left with 3 nodes at the moment.. I will decide which nodes I want to use and go from there.. So I will be going up a tad on the Armor Si.. Up on the CALiMAGic, adding in some FloraGro, amd going up just a tiny bit on the Floralicous Plus to bring it up to the normal dose.. Still using the Hydroguard and the MYCO Plus (powder) at the normal doses.. Other than that, just been watering/feeding when the top of the medium is dry, and when you can clearly feel the weight of the pot (bucket of butter lol) is pretty much weightless.. Basically, I feed on a Monday.. Then just plain pH'd water on Thursday or Friday.. Then back to feeding again on Monday.. This will obviously change once the roots fill the pot (bucket o' margarine) within the next couple weeks or so.. Btw.. Not sure if I mentioned this already.. Dont feel like going back and checking lol.. But I put about 2 - 3 inches of just perlite at the bottom.. Not sure if this helps or does anything lol.. But I've seen other people do it.. Had some extra on hand.. Sure! Why not? I never let this sit in runoff.. Infact, when I water/feed, I place the pot on top of a cup so that she won't be sitting in runoff and so I can collect the runoff as it drips out the bottom.. So far, the runoff pH comes out a little low still.. Going in at 6.2 and the runoff will be like 5.8 or 5.7.. But, I do believe that it has been slowly making its way up.. I should really start buffering and finding a way to remove roots when I harves, so I can keep reusing and avoid issues.. Anyways.. She is happy and healthy.. Topped her and remove the bottom node.. That's all there is to report on so far.. Will be updating mid week and end of week as I usually do.. So excited!!! 😁
Mid week..
So it looks like the bottom 2 branches are triploids! I could be wrong.. But that's what it looks like to me! Can't be mad about that! Lol.. I can tell she is going to be a short thing.. Perfect for this grow box! Not sure what these weird markings are.. But this literally popped up overnight.. Will be keeping an eye on it!.. Hopefully nothing.. But we shall seeee!...
End of week...
She's doing good.. I removed the very top node that I left.. Lol.. Yeah I can be very indecisive when it comes to that stuff.. Can always just remove one later if I need too.. But yeah.. I've kinda just been tucking the top 2 branches under the bottom 2 branches so that the bottom 2 can get some good lighting too.. So I try to switch once a day or sometimes twice a day.. Once the tops grow a bit more they should all be able to get their own light without the tucking and whatnot.. But still just been feeding toward the beginning of the week and just plain pH'd water toward mid/end of the week.. The runoff pH is a little acidic.. But it doesn't seem to be hurting anything so far.. The roots have made it to the bottom of the pot.. They did a long time ago, but have really filled the pot alot already.. But I've pushed plants alot longer in much smaller (veg for 6 weeks in a 9oz solo cup).. Her branches are so thick and sturdy! She is gonna be so strong!.. I really need to make sure I don't LST too late cuz it's gonna be hard to bend these tree trunk branches.. But I'm playing with her at least twice a day, so I doubt I will miss the opportunity lol.. But I can't wait to taste some Blue Berry!!! On to the next week!...
@SpliffSeeds,
Thanks for your genetics! I can't wait to see what this girl has to offer! Other GDs look amazing! So excited! Thanks for the comment too!
@SpliffSeeds,
Lol thanks! i know its a small space... But I have yet to run into any issues with this little box I made.. And I'm glad that you read all my babbling lol.. I get a little high and cant shut up.. Like now hahaha. Thanks again. First time with your genetics and cant wait to see what she produces!
@DoDrugs420,
Thanks.. She has already taken on a different morphology than I'm used to seeing.. Kinda cool and pretty.. She already has fat stems from the leaves.. She looks like she could take a punch lol
Good luck with your grow I hope you get the best taste of buds and healthy plants! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
Greetings from L.S.T 🙏🏼🌟
@Legendaryseedthumb,
Thanks L.S.T.! I'm excited! My first Blue Berry strain! Just hope it tastes like it did in the early 2000s.. If not, I will keep searching! But still excited to see what she produces!
@PapasGrow,
I love growing in this little box.. Of course, I still run a 2x4 or 2x2.. Depending on time of year which one I use due to heat from the 2x4 light.. But yeah I have gotten up to I believe it was 38 grams growing in this little box with these little bs lights.. Just sucks how close you gotta keep them.. They do tend to burn some leaves.. I need to get that dialed in a little better.. Maybe have them spaced out a little more and just 1 - 2 inches higher.. And more training I guess lol.. But yeah this little nano box is so fun.. People hate on using foil, but it has served very well.. Im sure its probably because these LEDs are only pulling 20w.. Great for seedlings too.. Literally just the 3 bulbs rigged up to make a decent footprint of photons.. 2 computer fans.. One for exhaust and one for intake.. Sometimes I add a 3rd inside the box if the colas are too huge.. Growing medium and seed and all that jazz and I have always gotten great results in this little thing.. I love it! Lol.. Sorry Im stoned so I just typed a whole novel here 😂😂😂
Hi @Professor_Chaos, nice diary dude... thats lookin as frosty as ........ frost! proper xmas vibe.... Hope Ethos sponsor you. If they do can you ask for a Purple Thai??? Ive 3 beans but no space for a coco medium for at least 2 more indoor runs. Really want a smoke report as I was sent a sample of friends peat moss grow last week and its an absolute tasty champ and great anti anxiety effect for me. 👊 👌 👊
@sailormoonflower
Hell yeah.. That would be pretty cool if ETHOS sponsored me lol.. And that Purple Thai auto has caught my eye a few times.. That would be pretty cool if they sponsored me.. Thanks grow bro!
