First autoflower grow- BLUEBERRY

—

Good growth this week. Still worried that the discoloration will stunt the second plant

Started LST on the girls and maybe removed 2 or 3 larger leaves. Plant 2 was accidentally topped on day 19 but will continue LST of lower branches. Both plants showing a few pistol hairs.

Light defoliation and heavy LST/ leaf tucking has resulted in a nice even canopy filling in these 5 gal fabric pots. Lots of hairs on the bud sites now and they will be "in flower" by next week. Topping on day 18 has not caused much stunting to the second plant considering the leaf discoloration problem. I'm impressed with how it is keeping up with plant 1 which is a beast. It is a slightly sparser canopy but similar bud structure and possibly more hairs with a lighter color. Top dressed both with earthworm castings early in the week.

Lower canopy defoliation and eased up on the LST this week to let the branches grow upward. Running out of room in the tent is a good problem to have! Plants have defined bud sites and are looking juicy!! Continue LST on the 3rd blueberry in about week 3 right now. Looking a bit darker and oily on the leaves than the other 2. Excited to see the buds from this one despite the smaller pot size. Topdressed with 1/4 cup of fish bone meal per plant on day 34.

Day 37: Plants have been happy the last few days and seemed to have slowed down in vertical growth and have begun putting on more mass at the flowering sites. Lots more mature hairs poking out of the top sites and also very hairy on the lower nodes. Still not much frost to speak of but it's still early. Fish bone meal made the tent smelly so I topdressed with worm casting and more soil and that seemed to help a bit. Day 40 light watering and very minimal leaf tucking. Looking good, and fighting the urge to defoliate until further into flower. It's looking like slow progress right now, but I'm also checking in a few times a day, which makes everything feel slow. I was watering every other day, but after some overwatering in my other tent, I'm being more careful to let the pots dry out more before giving a little less water. Giving every 2-3 days now and a bit less

Buds continue to develop and starting to show some crystals towards the inner part of the buds and leaves. Still growing upward a bit with an increase of 1" but it seems to be almost entirely the top colas elongating, and not the stems stretching more. Continue to water about 1 liter every other day and continue leaf tucking and defoliation as necessary, but it is very minimal. These girls are on autopilot right now and just need to maintain the conditions and water. Plant 2 had some older, smaller, leaves toward the bottom discolor and so I plucked them. I may feed with another round of fish bone meal in a week or so if it progresses, but not convinced of it yet Day 48 update: plants are drinking more water and watering with 1 liter every other day but might have to increase it if it keeps drying out this fast. Frost is devolving fast and excited to see these buds plump up in the next couple of weeks!

Weekly update on Day 54: plants are looking great. Only watering when dry which has increased from 1 liter every other day, up to 1.5 liters every other day. Used humic acid with water late in week seven and the plants developed a slight nute burn at the leaf tips. Back to regular water for the rest of the run. Buds are looking so good and big improvement in bud structure and frost since last week. About 10% of the hairs are orange now so we should be about 3 weeks until harvest time! These girls have really filled out this 2x3 and I wouldn't have it any other way!

These girls are looking amazing! Buds a chunking up and looking frosty. Plant 1 definitely has a fat chunky bud structure compared to the taller, stretched buds of plant 2. I dropped the temp and humidity in the tent to 77 degree max and 55% humidity max. Some leaves are already starting to yellow and I am plucking them as they turn, while some of the top leaves of plant 1 are starting to change to a dark purple blue color. Should be ready for the harvest in about 2 more weeks. Day 61 update: colors are starting to change and decided it was time to make some more space in the canopy with a major defoliation. Took out a lot of large and small fan leaves to open up the canopy for airflow and bud development. Large fan leaves are slowly turning yellow, while the sugar leaves and smaller fan leaves off the buds are getting a slight purple or dark blue color. So excited!

After the major defoliation last week , the plants have continued to fade out with plant one turning blue and purple on top and yellow on the larger fan leaves, while plant two is only fading to yellow leaves and staying mostly green. Going to try and let these go for another week ,but may decide to begin harvest at the end of the week. Suggestions appreciated! Pics of the trichromes we're from lower larf nugs and some of the top colas already have some amber mixed in. Can't wait! Day 70 update: the long lost blueberry #3 is back in the tent with it's sisters and loving life. The big plants and finishing up so nicely, and I plant on harvesting next weekend. Next Thursday I will shut the lights off for 48 hours before harvest on Saturday. So excited to get my first autoflower harvest under my belt and move the new genetics into this tent!

The girls are looking so good this week. Been battling the humidity as the outside conditions keep changing right now and I have a seedling in the other tent that I am trying to keep the humidity up in there, while staying 45-50% in the tent next to it. So far so good. Color is devolving in plant 1 and a little bit on plant 2. Plant 2 has grown massive colas, and looks like the plant is finishing out a few days behind it's sister, but the trichromes are all cloudy and 10-20% Amber on both plants. The revival of plant 3 joins us back in the tent to finish out, and despite being a week behind, is looking like I will harvest all three at the end of this week. I will give 48 hrs of darkness starting later this week and plan on chopping them down on day 76. So excited for the harvest!!

So excited that this grow went well. Just making sure the dry tent stays the right conditions for a slow dry and will trim and weigh these girls before putting them in jars for a few weeks to cure. Sticky and with a earthy fruity berry smell. Maybe a hint of citrus. Can't say enough good things. Happy to luck out with good genetics and optimal conditions during the grow cycle.
