Blueberry Dreams

Week 1

It’s warming up outside and have 6 1G fabric pots for transplant.

BB have much for vigor. NL5 are weaker. All of them were kind of yellowing droopy. Raised light: 4” / seaweed extract for N. 2 days later transplanted 3 healthiest into 1G fab adding .5oz of thrive to the watering. I suspect temps could be the issue

I transplanted the remaining seedlings to 1G fab pots (BAS 3+10% bio char). Still have heat mats under the trays (72deg), taking dome off for a few hours before lights out. Concern: temps avg 68, RH 40, VPD 1.3

A good amount of growth this week. FIMed the blueberry. Northern Lights needed a little less light and and 10deg Increase in the heat mats. I got a 2x4 folding table, cuts the SQF down to heat.

My Medica Grow mini sun 2 (320w) tried moving from 40% to 60%. I though the extra wattage may generate more heat. And it did increasing to 72* RESULT: In 24hrs they looked droopy and on the backside bleaching of the leaf tips on the new growth. Moved back down to min 40%

1)My soil was hydrophobic, 2) dry 1” down, 3) moisture test = 8-13% moisture 4) thin papery leafs I used RO 7ph spray lightly raised moisture levels to 15-22% watching vpd under vs over watering look similar Continue spaying soil up 25-30% moisture. Seeing some leaves perk up. Temps have made it up 74F. I need better humidifier. RH avg 50% avg VPD 1.30. Looking to strengthen the plants and wipe down leafs with soap. Possible spider mites.

not so convinced about spider mites. I think it’s possible the deformations on the leafs and dark green shade could be nitrogen toxicity. Water: I give 10oz per plant in the morning light on, and spray tops and sides in afternoon to keep moist. Scoping my leafs I broke the main stem on BB#3 used electrical tape brace it. Took plants outside and sprayed Capt Jacks will now be my weekly IPM.

Did IPM, NL #2 eliminated. Earthbox for 2 BB. There were a little shocked, but recovered the next day. Boosted medicgrow to 40% (300-375 PPFD) 30“ from canopy.

NL #3 (reg) showing sex as male removed from tent. Getting a clone tent this weekend. May collect pollen. May practice pop and twist on him. NL#1 (reg) showing as female. did IPM, no clone tent. Got ac infin 2x2x4 shorty (veg tent). Set up shorty and move plants in to veg tent I will train the plants in Flower tent (FT) with trellis net. Flip as soon I think it filled. put trillus net up. Did light defoliation. Refill earth box 2.5 Gallons

Mon: put trillus net up. Did light defoliation. Refilled Earth Box 2.5 G Wed: flipped 2x4 to 12/12. They are thirsty. The stem rub is strong like actual fresh blueberry. Sun: new trellis net, set it up. 2 cups of Craft blend as top dress.

Tues: refilled earth box 2.5G / top watered 1 gallon to blend in top dress. The plants are really growing and there is plenty of pre flowers. Things are good Hopefully top dressing will solve the problem with BB#2 Sat pm: defoliation, refill earth box 2.5G, IPM . Maybe last spray. Mon night: BB #2#3 earthbox / top dress gnarley barley 1.5C and build a flower 1.5C. Worm castings 1.5 C / refilled earthbox 2.5G

Tues pm: raised light 4” and turned up to 80%. PPFD 750 center to 350 on the edges. Used to trash bag from mulch cover. Wed: yesterday trimming up BB#1 I took 6 cuttings. Tnite I put them in CloneX; then into Root Riot cubes. Under a 15W 24hrs light cycle. Maybe I’ll have roots on a few in 10 days. Fri: Refill Earthbox 2.5G, raised light to 22in from canopy and 100% power.

This didn’t save Monday. Thurs: refill Earthbox 2.5 gallons. I put a 2nd trellis net up. - set VPD 1.1 Fri: finished pollen collection for NL #1. Repotted clones 2 of 6 had roots out side of Root Riot. Had more success with a glass of on window ledge. Earthbox BB #2&3: defoliated, tucked trellis. Seeing nice frost.

Tues pm: refill Earthbox 2.5G, bigger flower starts and frost. Nervous about humidity. Thurs night: refilled Earthbox 2.5 gallons. Will wrap up experiments today. Friday! Defoliated scouting for leafhoppers. Experiment: 6 cuttings of BB#1 [dip on CloneX Root Riot 1Wk peat pots] vs Glass on windowsill. Result: 4/6 in cubes 100% on windowsill. discarded 3. Remaining 3 transplanted to 1G pots test: BAS 3.0 vs Light.

Refilling Earthbox 2.5G every third day Fri: defol, really sticky, hands arms forehead, blueberry, finger taste blueberry sweet Lemon. Very happy with this grow! I’m getting shit dialed in

Refilled Earthbox every other day Raised light as high as possible. 6” from highest stalks. I suspect light bleaching on tips of as least 7 buds. 1) more training 2) no 10wk veg.
