June 8: really cold here the last few days. Likely due to the heat dome now in SW states and Mexico. Overnight low of only 1 C tonight so the plants are indoors until conditions improve which should be soon.
June 9: it wasn’t as cold as forecast last night and stayed above 5 C with lowest being two nights ago at 3.3 C. Watered with 26 C water this evening to keep it warm a bit longer but overnight temps should be fine again now and she’s outdoors full time now.
June 10: watered this morning with first compost tea. Pic is from the evening and she’s looking really good. A few days ago I forgot to lower the pH of the city tap water and the biggest fan leaves show some of that pH swing damage. Oops. Looks good now though after the lazy compost tea.
Lazy compost tea is compost, molasses, some coco coir and some Monster Maxx. Let sit overnight but not so long that it goes anaerobic. It should smell fresh not sulphurous.
June 11: looks good after the compost tea.
June 13: to get the stems growing apart in preparation for another round of topping, I supercropped both stems, taped with floral tape, and then tied down using pipe cleaners and paper clips on the edge of the grow bag. Nice run-on sentence there.

@Still_Smoq, right on, thanks. Should be good, I’ve got some new UV lights to use during peak sunlight hours to make Edmonton in September seem like California in July. 👍👍
and for outdoor? holy shit, they are starting to flower 3 week after the lighthours getting shorter, thats the total point in growing outdoors, getting a fast flowering
or fsat into flower strain- i am in love
@musashi_miyamoto, thanks. I just measured the diameter at 44” or 1.12 m. With area equal to pi x r-squared that is very close to 1 m2. I want to see if I can break a pound of dried bud (454 g) from each of my photoperiod plants, and it is looking possible. 👍
@musashi_miyamoto, yeah the Euphoria seems a bit ahead in part because it recovered quicker after the last round of topping. For a couple days the fan leaves got bigger on the BB Pie, but the growth tips were slower to grow than on Euphoria. Could be just the heat, and now we get 7 days above 30 C with two days at 35 C. That’s hot anywhere, including here.
Looking good! Glad you caught that rot early. Just snipped my first few spots sadly, and I have my grow tarped during rain and overnight, so dry as a bone, but that 97% humidity overnight makes it a challenge. Do you ever spray anyhthing for rot? H202?
@Northern_Ent, a little late now, but this I what I used to cultivate Lab at home https://www.rebootedmom.com/lactobacillus-serum-lab-serum/. It's good for like 6 months with molasses, so I also add it during flower in addition to once a week foliar spray.
@Arcadium, there was actually quite a lot of spots where you could see the rot was starting, like 10-12, so even just a couple more days would have been a disaster. That load is in the freeze dryer now so that will kill any and all microorganisms like yeast mould or bacteria. Harvest problem solved. 👍
@Arcadium, one year at the farm I did a lot of lactic acid bacteria foliar sprays and that seemed to work as I had zero rot all season. I commented on that once and an answer back was to just use a dilute milk solution which will have enough LAB to outcompete the mould. I still haven’t tried that but I might this year. My Overdose is being slow and the strain write-up from Divine suggests rot can be a problem. I’ll have to go buy some milk.
Hydrogen peroxide is a maybe in that it’s easy to overdo and cause real damage. Dilute milk sounds much more benign.
Mostly airflow is key prevention and is always better than a cure.
@Arcadium, hey, valid question. My Auto Overdose wasn’t an auto, and last year’s Gorilla Cookies vs Gorilla Sherbet thing, but, yes, as far as I know, this is Blueberry Pie F1 Fast. Great strain, and Mrs. Larimar has also said she’ll be growing this one next year. So far, so great, and I’m at that stage where you’re trying to judge when to harvest. Soon, and I’ll take the tops first and give rest another week or two. It will be all down before end of September which is great.
Wow, iaimpressed, shes a darling directly from start, and those fat and big leaves,
i know where iam buying my next seeds, those hybrids are awsome,
virgour, string and awsome looking, welldone welldone, and crossing finger
iam feeling they have to give more prizes , if the other plants look as awsome as ours
