Outdoor Grow - Blueberry (AI Challenge)

Blueberry#2 still looks very small (ca. 7cm) but is growing new leaves. As the AI suggested will I continue with the lower nutrition amount (.5ml/L). It also wants me to add NPK-2-5-8. Blueberry#1 is getting bigger (~20cm) and is adopting to the LST. I pumped up the nutrition values (2ml/L) for this week on Blueberry#1. I noticed some shallow leave coloring on day 18 but considered I watered with nutrients a day earlier it's still okay. It was also the hottest day of the month so I will look out to give them some shade if the direct sunlight is affecting the leaves. ----------------------------- These are the overview information about Blueberry#2 for this week from the AI Blueberry #2 Plant Update Observation: - Health: The plant appears healthy with vibrant green leaves. - Growth: Blueberry #2 is still very small, indicating slower growth compared to the other plants. Care Plan for Blueberry #2 LST (Low-Stress Training): - Postpone LST: Given its small size, it’s best to delay LST until the plant has grown a bit more to prevent undue stress. Nutrient Schedule: Nutrients: Continue with the NPK 5-2-5 and NPK 2-5-8 nutrient solutions, but at a lower concentration to avoid nutrient burn. Schedule: - Tuesday: NPK 5-2-5 at 0.5 ml/L - Friday: NPK 2-5-8 at 0.25 ml/L - Sunday: Water with plain water to flush excess salts Watering: - Frequency: Water the plant when the top 1-2 cm of soil is dry. This usually means every 2-3 days in warm weather. - Amount: Ensure the soil is evenly moist but not waterlogged. Monitoring: - Leaf Health: Watch for any signs of nutrient burn (yellow tips) or deficiencies (yellowing between veins). - Growth: Measure and record growth weekly to track progress. - Soil Moisture: Maintain consistent moisture levels without overwatering. Summary of Next Steps: - Delay LST: Wait until the plant is larger and more robust before starting LST. - Follow Nutrient Schedule: Use lower concentrations to avoid nutrient burn. - Regular Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture. - Monitor Plant Health: Check for signs of stress or nutrient issues and adjust care as needed. ----------------------------- And these are the specific instructions for this week (somehow the AI changed the format a little...): Day | Action ----------------------------- Monday | Adjust LST ties (start LST gradually) Tuesday | NPK 5-2-5 at 0.5 ml/L Wednesday | Monitor for pests and nutrient deficiencies Thursday | Adjust LST ties Friday | NPK 2-5-8 at 0.25 ml/L Saturday | Water with plain water Sunday | Monitor plant growth and overall health ----------------------------- Keep in mind that the LST was postponed AFTER the AI made the care plan. The updated one stays the same except the LST.
