Aug 10: Blueberry Pie F1 Fast is doing great. Three weeks now moving her into the garage which is enough, and now I can just leave her in the yard which is easier and scores another couple hours of sunlight per day.
Nice solid start to flowering, and I like the schedule used this year for the force flowering. This strain is delivering on the promise of being big and fast.
Bright sunny day and I’ve got the UV lights on. About five hours today with the UV lights at mid-day. Buds are looking really good.
The bud development after 3 weeks is amazing. The buds got visibly much fatter just today. Compared to some fast plants in previous years, this one is about 2-3 weeks ahead. Very well suited to short season outdoor growing, but partially due to full darkness in the garage rather than just phyto-forcing with the far red light as I did last year. I’m still using the far red light, but putting them in the garage provides more darkness and helps get strong flowering started.
Aug 12: nice fat buds forming quickly, gotta like that.
Aug 14: fast, fast, fast. Flowers are progressing quickly.
Added three tablespoons of a 50:50 mix of Power Bloom and malted barley. Added as top dressing and then watered in.
Aug 16: cool, overcast all day, a bit of rain and smoky so not a nice mid-August day. Rain should help but out some fires in northeast BC, Yukon, and northwest Alberta. maybe. BC needs rain to break their record drought.

@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. 👍
@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. 👍👍
@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.
