Blueberry Muffin by Humboldt Seed Company at three weeks. Potted with Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil.
Recently transplanted from solo cups and fed with Recharge and RapidStart. Off to a good start!
Plants seem to be thriving! I've started feeding with the GH Flora Trio in addition to FloraBlend and Armor Si.
They've also been undergoing low stress training and were recently topped. Good growing!
I've neglected to document most of the vegetative stage, but flowering has finally started! As such, I'll try to be more consistent from here on out.
A lot of the lower leaves have been yellowing and falling off the past week. I'm not sure if it's the plant's genetics or I'm doing something wrong. My other strain isn't having this issue.
You may also notice one plant appears to have an extra thick branch with double the foliage (looks like two stems merged into one). Someone told me it's a mutation called fasciation.
In any case, we'll see what happens as flowering progresses!
Added Cal-Mag to see if that would help with the yellowing of leaves, but the issue persists. Yellow leaves are moving progressively higher up the plant, but I'm not sure I'm doing anything to cause it. My other strain is not presenting this problem and I'm treating it just the same. Everything else seems to be going well and buds are developing nicely!
One plant is further along the flowering process because I had it in a shadier spot -- you may notice buds are more developed in some pictures.
I'm concerned my plant may be prematurely yellowing. I've added Cal-Mag to see if that would help with the yellowing of leaves, but the issue persists. Yellow leaves are moving progressively higher up the plant, but my other strain is not presenting same problem. (See Post)
Some strains like a little more nitrogen in flower than others. Adding a little cal/mg which is high in nitrogen should of helped some, but after 4 or 5 weeks of flowering it is normal for her to start pulling her nitrogen needs from the leaves. By the end of my grows I have leaves the drop off with a touch of the finger. Unless all the sugar leaves start doing the same thing, I wouldn't worry to much. Cheers
Leaves are still yellowing at an accelerating pace. Many have shriveled to a brown crisp. I've adjusted nutes to no avail and have pretty much given up on finding a solution (if it needs one). As far as I can see, buds are still developing and I suppose that's all that matters.
This strain is certainly giving me its fair share of problems. First, it was the yellowing of leaves. Now, I'm noticing early signs of bud rot. Just a few colas are affected right now and I'm hoping it doesn't become too widespread. I've cut off affected areas and I'm hoping for the best. On the bright side, one of the plants isn't presenting with any of these problems. In fact, the buds on this plant in particular are looking quite beautiful and have just started showing off its purple tint.
Being a first time grower, I expected I may run into problems. That's why I decided to hedge my bet and plant four seeds instead of just one. I suppose that insurance policy is paying off.
Ah the muffins! This has been a very fun grow. I also have yellowing of the leaves a lot more now that she started to flower. Nice to seey plants and yours are similar. I’ve been having to shade her more with the 100 degree heats we’ve been having in the valley. Can’t wait to see what’s to come so I know what to expect also. Thanks for checking my page… peace love and grow!!
@Bootlegelkk, It might be just me, but I think this strain definitely needs more Cal-Mag than others. I've started to supplement with it and have noticed less yellowing.
For some reason, I thought Micro and my hard water would be enough. Anyway, thanks for commenting and continued good luck with your grow!
Hey man still having trouble with yellowing? What part of the world r u in? And I also had some yellowing I added more Nitrogen to my feed and haven’t had it anymore. I’ve got mine in 10 gallon pot and feed 3-4 gallons at 1150-1300ppm 6.3ph and I add about 3ml per gallon of nitrogen now. But she looks like a beauty man hope it’s nothing serious.
@FishOil,yeah I noticed what your talking about this started to happen to me last week. I’ve noticed the leaves was starting to lighten up in color then with the cold temps we had at night last week ( also in the valley in Cali ) she started to show purples on the fan leaves. Started to make me think she was finishing early. I’m only 4-5 weeks into flowering how far along are you I want to keep pumping nutes into her but I also want to finish this bad girl if she’s ready! I noticed my BBM indoors isn’t doing this so must be something to do with it being outdoors.
@Bootlegelkk, California here. Yellowing is still happening, but just on fan leaves. I've adjusted nutrients every which way so I assume it's just part of my plants' life cycle, shedding unneeded foliage. I am starting to notice mild bud rot on some colas as I noted in my latest update, but I'm hoping to be able to ride it out this close to harvest.
What’s up Growmie! Hopefully your Blueberry Muffin is close to harvest if you haven’t harvested yet. Haven’t seen an update in a while, so I hope all is well!
I completed my Blueberry Muffin Trio diary if you’re curious to see how mine ended up. I’m pleased with how it turned out!
Good luck to you and your plants!
My Blueberry Muffin leaves started to turn yellow towards the end near harvest. It seemed to be a natural progression because mine didn’t have any issues leading up to it, and didn’t have any negative effects in the end. Don’t know if that helps at all, but I felt like sharing in case it does.
