16 Sept: Flo1 continues to grow in textbook fashion while Flo4 looks gnarly as ever, but growing!
Continuing with some LST to keep Flo1 flat and even, and giving plain water. The pots are large so they are watered less than twice per week. One feeding in two weeks for Flo1 to keep it from getting too much larger than Flo4 since they have to grow together in the same tent, otherwise plain pH'd water for all.
The bonsai flo1 grew so tall and fast I thought it was a male, so I suppose it should be no surprise that it is still growing quickly! Flo4 was no slouch either but not as tall.
@Faceinthecloud, I cant reply to the comments. Both of those blueberries are going to be my grow after next, I already have the seeds. These Flo were the freebies that came with them, so I thought I'd "practice" with these before moving on to those. Do you think if I put a (tiny, unrooted) clone of the suspected male RS in the tent with these girls when I flower them, then check it every day, I'll be able to catch it before it pollinates the girls if it is confirmed to be male?
Wondering when I should switch to flowering so the plants don't outgrow my tent. It's my first go with photos, I've only done autos before this. Anyone have input on this specific situation?
I wouldn't be sure whether a plant was male or female until putting it in flowering light cycle for a few weeks. I recently grew DJ shorts Blueberry F5 and Blue V2, which I was able to re-veg, but the two big Blueberry F5s have not come back and I am about to call them and replant, but they did produce hundreds, maybe thousands of seeds crossed with the male Blueberry F5 I grew out and then shook all over them. It's amazing how little flower you get when the plant makes seeds. But now I have enough seeds from my initial pack to grow out 50 at a time and pheno hunt for the most blueberry I can find. Gonna put them in solo cups and re-veg them after a handful of weeks in flower, and transplant to 5/7 gal pots with a fresh JMS (JADAM Microorganism Solution) to help ease the transplant and boost root growth.
Your bonsai trees look cool. I'd wanna be sure before I chop any. You could stick it in a little cardboard box with a light hanging above it on a 11on/13 off timer and you should know for sure a few weeks later
