Today I started some aggressive LST. It is difficult to see from photos, but after a light round or two I either force the main stem into a stair step shape or twist and bend to start a corkscrew shape. I let the plants dictate which is best. A lot of times it’s an amalgamation, so maybe I should label as a specific and definite finished shape.
Anyone that has looked at my blueberry photo knows I have been struggling with some issues…I bring this up because the smallest BY#1 has developed a very faint discoloration at the apical meristem…so I was convinced it was a pest or virus. I will give a more detailed breakdown on IPM treatment in next blueberry update. Short end of it is that it is indeed a pest and I am treating everything right now.
The autos got their first top dress today, I used 2 tbsp of Gaia Green all purpose and power bloom, 3 tbsp of castings, and a tbsp each of bird guano, langbeinite, been meal and bio-live. I also sprinkled a little myco on top before watering at a pH of 6.9. My goal is to add as many more microbes as possible to keep the colony robust…I will give a simple mix of seaweed extract and molasses in next few days.
I see pistils popping on the 2 magnums, nothing yet on the big yields, but I suspect very soon all will be through transition and into flower…where the teal fun begins.
Thanks!
Interesting experiment! Curious about the final results and considerations 😁
Maybe you could also plant a seed in a universal soil to better notice differences! No?
Wish you friendly weather and mild temperatures! 🤞💪

It’s going to be interesting for sure…I have slight reservations this is going to go off without a hitch, but you never know…maybe this will be a personal best! That’s why I dig this stuff! (No pun😂)
