Outdoor Grow - Blueberry (AI Challenge)

I switched from BioTabs to GreenHouse Mineral Grow and got some new equipment to measure water pH / EC and soil pH. This helped me to identify some deficiencies that I could manage over time. I will put exact values in my descriptions. I may add a graph or something at the end of the grow to visualize all values over time per plant. Both plants are thriving since I use the new fertilizer. Even Blueberry#1 is getting bigger by the day. Maybe I start LST on it next week. I have to weed the weed around my weed (lol) every other day now, so the soil seems to be okay. ----------------------------- Identification This plant is Blueberry #2. Assessment Condition: The plant looks healthy with vibrant green leaves. The foliage appears dense and the plant has good overall structure. Growth Stage: The plant is in the early vegetative stage, showing robust growth and well-formed leaves. Planting Timeline Initial Planting: Planted within the last few weeks. Time Since Planting: Approximately 3-4 weeks in the ground. ----------------------------- These are the detailed information based on the pictures: Condition Assessment Visual Observations Leaves: - The leaves are healthy and green, with no visible signs of nutrient deficiencies or pest damage. - Some leaves appear to be slightly wet, possibly from recent watering or rain. Growth: - The plant shows good overall growth with a strong central stem and new leaves emerging. - The structure of the plant is developing well, indicating it is receiving adequate light and nutrients. Potential Issues and Recommendations Watering: - Observation: The soil appears adequately moist. - Action: Continue watering with pH-adjusted water (pH 6.3). Ensure the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Nutrients: - Observation: Fertilized with Green House Feeding Mineral Grow and molasses. - Action: Maintain the current nutrient schedule. Monitor for any signs of nutrient burn or deficiency and adjust the dosage accordingly. Environmental Stress: - Observation: No signs of environmental stress observed. - Action: Continue monitoring for pests and disease. Ensure the plant receives adequate sunlight but is protected from extreme weather conditions. Plant Training: - Observation: The plant has not undergone any LST (Low-Stress Training) or other training techniques yet. - Action: Given its size and health, you can start LST if desired. Begin by gently bending the main stem and securing it with soft ties to promote lateral growth. ----------------------------- And these are the specific instructions for this week: Day | Task | Details ----------------------------- 1 | Watering | Water with pH 6.3 water. Ensure soil is moist but not waterlogged. 2 | Monitoring | Check soil moisture. Adjust watering if necessary. 3 | Nutrients | Feed with Green House Feeding Mineral Grow, 1.2mS/cm, 2g/L. 4 | LST | Identify the main stem and gently start bending it. Secure with soft string or pipe cleaner. 5 | Watering | Water with plain water if soil is dry. 6 | Pruning | Remove any lower leaves that are touching the soil. 7 | Monitoring | Check for signs of stress or pests. Adjust LST ties if needed. 7 | Nutrients | Feed with Green House Feeding Mineral Grow, 1.2mS/cm, 2g/L. -----------------------------
