Outdoor Grow - Blueberry (AI Challenge)

While Blueberry#1 keeps growing fast, so I could start LST early, Blueberry#2 looks small with little signs of burns. I started adjusting the nutrients for this week as the AI suggested for Blueberry#2 (.5ml/L) - and did the same myself for Blueberry#1 (1ml/L). ----------------------------- This is the overview information about Blueberry#2 for this week from the AI: Identification This plant is Blueberry #2. Assessment Condition: The plant looks healthy with vibrant green leaves. The leaves appear to be slightly wet, possibly from recent watering or misting. Growth Stage: This plant seems to be in the early vegetative stage, with well-formed leaves indicating good initial growth. Planting Timeline Initial Planting: You mentioned the new arrivals were planted recently, specifically within the last week. Time Since Planting: Assuming the photo was taken today, the plants have likely been in the ground for about 1 week. ----------------------------- These are the detailed information based on the pictures: Condition Assessment Visual Observations: Leaves: The leaves appear to be curling slightly at the edges. There is some yellowing at the tips of a few leaves. Overall, the leaves look slightly stressed, potentially indicating an environmental issue or nutrient imbalance. Growth: The plant is relatively small, indicating it is still in the early vegetative stage. The new growth appears green and healthy, but overall growth seems a bit slow. Potential Issues and Recommendations Watering: Observation: The soil looks wet, which is good, but overwatering can also cause leaf curl and yellowing. Action: Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Let the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. Nutrients: Observation: The yellowing tips might indicate a nutrient imbalance or slight nutrient burn. Action: Stick to the nutrient schedule, using NPK 5-2-5 at 2 ml/L every three days. Monitor the plant's response and adjust if the yellowing persists. Environmental Stress: Observation: High temperatures or strong direct sunlight can cause leaf curl. Action: Ensure the plant gets adequate sunlight but consider providing some shade during the hottest part of the day to prevent heat stress. General Health: Observation: New growth looks healthy, indicating the plant is still developing despite some stress signs. Action: Continue regular monitoring for pests and signs of disease. ----------------------------- And these are the specific instructions for this week: Day | Task | Details ----------------------------- 1 | Watering | Water with NPK 5-2-5 nutrient mix (0.5 ml/L). Ensure soil is moist but not waterlogged. 2 | Monitoring | Check soil moisture. Adjust watering if necessary. 3 | LST Preparation | Identify the main stem and gently start bending it. Secure with soft string or pipe cleaner. 4 | Watering | Water with plain water if soil is dry. 5 | Pruning | Remove any lower leaves that are touching the soil. 6 | Monitoring | Check for signs of stress or pests. Adjust LST ties if needed. 7 | Watering | Water with NPK 5-2-5 nutrient mix (0.5 ml/L). ----------------------------- The AI even made a little visual representation about the LST process. I thought it would be interesting to add
