October 4th: End week 4.

November 3rd: End of week 8. Some mutations popped up on each blueberry plant. I'm not sure if it's fasciation or whorled phyllotaxy. Either way, they flippin' into flower on the 4th.

November 11th: First week of flower in the bag. They're finally starting to grow! Honestly, I don't think it's the plants' fault they haven't been growing much. I think it's these lights they are under. They just don't seem to do the trick. I wish I had another Solux or four. Water only, still.

November 18th: They're chuggin' along, stretch wise. Depending on how week 3 goes, they might get trimmed and get a HPS in place of the quantum boards that are over it. We'll see. Water only, still. UPDATE! The light timer took a shit and blasted the plants for 24 hours straight, from this week until the first of December. Accidental monster cropping for the win! 🙄

November 25th: I did some defoliation throughout the week. Water only, still. Decided to leave the fasciation flower, let's see how it grows. Lights are officially at 100% Giving BuildABloom every other water starting tomorrow. UPDATE! The light timer took a shit and blasted the plants for 24 hours straight, from this week until the first of December. Accidental monster cropping for the win! 🙄

December 2nd: Lights are at 100%. Gave them BuildABloom twice over the week, since it looked like they were close to done stretching. Last defoliation of the grow.for these girls.

December 9th: Found out why the plants look like they started revegging... It's because they started revegging. The timer burned out and kept everything on 24/7. I'm glad a fire didn't start, but it sure was close. I think I caught it just in time, or there would've been a fire. So, who knows when these will be done now.

December 16th: Blueberry smellin' like blueberry. Gave them a couple feedings of BuildABloom throughout the week. Did a light trimming of leaves in bad places, freeing up light and increasing air movement.

December 23rd: They are doing decent. I really need to figure out a way to get some heat in this tent. Fed them BuildABloom once this past week. #1 is still smelling like blueberry muffins. #2 is smelling like a raspberry jolly rancher. #3 is a weird funk that doesn't smell very berry at all, to be honest. But, it sure is going to throw the most weight.

December 30th: Finally installed the Hortilux 1,000w HPS bulb and ballast, during this week. I decided it was time, since the plants finally simmered down on the stretching side of things and started putting on flower mass. It is set at 50% on the dimmer at the moment and I'm going to gradually dial it up to around 75%-80% throughout the rest of flower. I've been feeding them BuildABloom every other day, now. I'm going to continue doing that for the next 2-4 weeks.

January 6th, 2024: Happy New Year! Light intensity (1,000wHPS): 50% I'm pretty sure I need to turn the intensity up a bit, but the dial isn't very lenient. I can up it to 75%, or 100%, unfortunately. So, I might test out 75% this upcoming week.

January 13th: The smell is real when I open the tent. The flowers are getting nice and frosty. One phenotype is turning purple. What a day to be alive.

January 20th: The trichomes on pheno#1 (purple) are about 60% cloudy / 40% clear. The trichomes on pheno#2 (smaller plant) are about 50%/50% cloudy/clear. The trichomes on pheno#3 are around half/half, as well. I might be harvesting them in the next few weeks, depending on how everything goes. Light intensity: 75%

January 27th: Not much to say. They're about done and smelling delicious. The dry room is set up and ready. I'm excited to harvest it, after all the nonsense this cycle went through.

Harvested, fan leaves trimmed off, hung to dry in 63°F & 55% relative humidity. They will hang for around 14 days, is my guess.
