What a week it's been! Transplant is finally done with these two ladies! I suspect we are about to see some explosive growth in the next couple weeks, both Blueberries are now in soil that's much richer in nutritional content than the soil in their little starter pots. Pheno #2 previously showed potential signs of stem/root rot which appears to have cleared up with the plant continuing to grow and new growth looking very healthy. Lowest growth (bottom 2 leaves) were drooping constantly while in their starter pots for the past 10-14 days but now both these leaves are looking more lively ever since being transplanted. Pheno #1 looking happy and perky as always though may have a magnesium deficiency at the moment, lower growth showing yellowing at serration on leaves, some spots are rust-colored. These are common signs of magnesium deficiency in my reading, so I'll be feeding cal-mag likely today once lights come on. Side note, I've germinated/planted a Jack Herer Autoflower seed to run at the same time as these BB's. The JH #4 pheno will not be journaled here, just know that she will inevitably show up in photos (especially later in the grow) so you folks aren't surprised. Excited to resume updates each week likely on the weekends. Thanks for checking out the grow and happy growing!
@Hempface86, Thank you! This is the worst I've had them yet as a newbie, hitting the leaves and soil with diluted hydrogen peroxide daily and will have sticky traps arriving today sometime. That should hopefully help me get a handle of it 😬
Another trichome check for BB #1. She seems very close, but I feel that another week will do some good in allowing any more bud-swell to occur while also letting the trichomes to further ripen. Lower branches thankfully seem to have at least become mostly cloudy but with very little amber. The tops are pretty amber-heavy, a helpful indicator that we are very close. I'm going to raise the light another approximate inch in order to give the tops a break, I'm hoping to avoid a 40-50% amber ratio. I'd guess we are at 15-20% now so that should be easy to avoid. Expect a harvest update next week with more photos and comments added as I sample throughout cure!
