This is my catchup week and not that much has changed. Still seem to have taken care of the last of the fungus gnats, no sign of them returning thus far. I top-dressed all the plants today with 2 tbsp/gal worm castings and 1 tbps/gal 2-8-4 Power Bloom. My goal is to get back into updating during the weekend sometime as I tend to have the most available time to both work in the garden and on documenting changes and what tasks I complete on which day. I plan to defoliate in the next week-ish as there still isn't much light penetration throughout the canopy at this time and I'd like to improve that before getting too deep into flower. We are now in the final couple days of week 3 of flower which should hopefully mean we've top-dressed at a great time and with defoliation by the end of week 4 will hopefully see maximized yield for this plant. Great news as well is that I've gotten a backup/drying tent in my possession which will be assembled very soon. I have a smaller autoflower growing in the same tent right now and she's getting much closer to harvest than the Blueberries are (they are photos, of course and I didn't flip them until after the auto formed pistils) and will likely need the additional space with which to dry. I also have purchased grove bags to cure these harvested buds in once dried to try something new which may add tons of convenience into my process as well. Thanks for checking back and I'll drop in for an update next week!
@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!
