Blueberry Kush 01, Kind Soil Organic

I will be improving my ventilation and watering system next time around. I learned a lot about topping, defoliation, and watering properly this time, so I am looking forward to using the experience I gained on this round for the next one. I’m really happy with how it turned out nonetheless. This strain was very forgiving - I totally recommend it for anybody who is still learning, and even for just the aroma and taste. I could just tape the container to my face and huff the flavor all day and be content. This was an all organic grow with Kind Soil hot soil and a very minimal use of Recharge, Mammoth P, and Camg . I did Nugbuckets' Mainlining technique to get 8 even colas, but 2 of the colas had to be removed because my circulation fan shifted overnight back in the veg stage and severely wind burned those 2, so I only ended up with 6 colas. My overall weight would have been over two ounces with those two extra colas. My flowering light cycle was at 11/13 to bring out the individual characteristics of the plant. 11/13 has also been proven to accelerate the flower cycle. In the beginning I accidentally severed the main stalk, but taped it quickly and the plant survived almost like nothing happened. Later I also split one of the cola stems and it was left hanging by a string, and I quickly taped that as well, then even more so it acted like nothing happened. Compared to the yield of the Acapulco Gold that grew beside her, she ended up with less weight since this Blueberry Kush has only 6 colas because of the wind burn accident, and the AG had all 8 of hers. Yet this BK still had taller and thicker colas though. After some calculation of averages from what the BK produced with only 6 colas it would have actually had more, somewhere around 71.65g instead of 53.74g. The AG ended up with 65.91g. Final thoughts: the Kind Soil for me isn't super fantastic. It works really well for some people, but I think maybe it lost some of its oomph being shipped to me. I also had a lot of negative pressure in my tent, so it kept things really dry, which also isn't good for living soils. So next time around I will install a better fan that has a temperature controlled variable speed. This will also help with my CO2 retention. I believe fixing these issues will help increase my yields. Also, for “grow room size”, the open space in my tent was much larger than the plant itself, so I think that it is unfair to rank the g/ft^2 size based on tent space, so I used the actual square area of the plant itself for grow room size instead. For example, if I were growing in a 20’ x 20’ basement with a plant that is only 1’ in diameter, it wouldn’t make sense to rate the plant’s production off of the 400ft^2 area.
