Hobbygrower97 The start of my first indoor grow.
At first, there were some difficulties because the little ones were getting leggy. Today, I just planted them deeper in the soil and increased the light intensity a bit (about 70%). Every day, I give them about 4 sprays of water with a little splash of Root Juice.
I'm curious to see when the first pairs of leaves will show up.

Hobbygrower97 The two ladies are doing quite well for the first week, I think.
I'm currently watering each one with half a liter of water every 2-3 days, with a pH between 6.2 and 6.5, per plant.
I'm curious about the coming weeks.

Hobbygrower97 I feel like the two of them are doing pretty well. It turns out that a mutation occurred with the Blueberry Auto, where it developed these two main shoots. At least that saves me from HST. 😁
The Blueberry Auto is also getting a bit of LST. The blocking leaf was removed for better light penetration of the smaller shoots.
I won't be training the Blue Ace CBD.
This week, I also fertilized a little for the first time. Next week, I'll be proactively fertilizing with CalMag.
I'm curious to see what the coming week brings.

Hobbygrower97 Week 3 went smoothly. Both plants have gained quite a bit of growth.
I don't feel that a correction of the LST is urgently necessary at this point. Therefore, I will let the Blueberry Auto's side branches grow a bit more before applying LST here. Due to the mutation, I haven't noticed any problems so far. Light signs of flowering are visible.
The Blue Ace CBD Auto is happily growing and showing the first pistils. I expect that the flowering period will fully kick in here next week.

Hobbygrower97 The week went smoothly. Both are gaining in size, with the Blueberry spreading out more due to the LST.
I've tightened the wires on the Blueberry, but I haven't done any defoliation yet. That will probably happen next week. For now, I want her to recover from the stress.
The Blue Ace started flowering at the beginning of the week, so I'm just going to label this week's entry as flowering week. Since the energy should naturally go into producing the buds, I did some defoliation to optimize light penetration. You can slowly start to smell something when opening the grow box.
I'm looking forward to the growth in the coming week.

Hobbygrower97 Week 5 went almost smoothly.
The Blueberry Auto is spreading out quite a bit. It's doing that almost entirely on its own, and a correction of the wires is hardly necessary. There are also slight signs of flowering visible here. Unfortunately, two leaves have small brown spots. I think it's due to a calcium and magnesium deficiency. Throughout the week, I also removed some inward-growing leaves.
No difficulties are noted with the Blue Ace. It's thriving beautifully and is already well into flowering. It's now giving off slightly sweet scents in the tent. I also find the slowly darkening leaves quite celebratory.
During the week, I topped off the pots a bit with worm humus and watered with pH-regulated water. I will water again today according to the feeding schedule and hope that the Blueberry shoots up a bit more and that the Blue Ace continues to develop so nicely.

Hobbygrower97 Week 6 has gone successfully and wasn't really demanding.
The Blue Ace CBD continues to grow beautifully, although I would have expected a slightly stronger stretch at this current flowering stage. Individual pistils are starting to turn brown, and the trichomes on the leaves and buds are slowly becoming visible.
I heavily defoliated the lower part of the Blueberry yesterday to improve airflow. Additionally, I got a second clip fan from Spider Farmer for this purpose. The Blueberry is slowly transitioning into flowering and is gradually stretching upwards. I hope it can gain a bit more height in the coming time before it focuses on producing the buds.

Hobbygrower97 Week 7 went on without major issues.
Recently, I've been struggling with very high humidity (around 70% and sometimes even higher). I hope that the increase in airflow last week might help a bit with that. Still, I've also added a dehumidifier considering the drying process.
The Blue Ace CBD is fully in bloom and really thriving. It's gotten quite frosty and should be ready for harvest in about 1 1/2 weeks, based on a rough estimate.
For the Blueberry, there was another defoliation this week. I mainly removed leaves from the lower area as well as some small covered shoots. I then bent the shoots a bit apart with wires to optimize the homogeneity. As I hoped, it has now directed its energy into the growth of the upper buds.

Hobbygrower97 Week 8 went on without any major issues.
Aside from watering, there wasn't much else to do. The Blueberry is stretching nicely upwards and is slowly forming the flowers.
The Blue Ace is probably already ready for harvest. However, I'm giving it a few more days. The trichomes are mostly milky and some are already amber-colored.

Hobbygrower97 The Blueberry Auto is doing quite well. However, I can't seem to get rid of the yellowing leaves. I've already increased the distance to the light by adjusting the height of the LED. I also add a good dose of CalMag with every watering. As long as the problem doesn't worsen, I see it as not too problematic. Otherwise, the buds are thriving and gaining good mass.
The drying of the Blue Ace is going very well. With an environment of about 21 °C and 49% (+/- 1) RH, it couldn't be going better. The buds are surprisingly frosty.
Die Blue Ace CBD Auto war im Wuchs sehr kompakt. Sie hat den Run mit Bravour überstanden. Mit einer Nass-Ernte von 185 g (davon knapp über 30 g im Main Bud) bin ich mehr als zufrieden. Das Trockengewicht wird schätzungsweise ca. 45 g ergeben.
Die DIY Trockenbox habe ich in das Zelt gestellt. Diese dient jetzt als Erhöhung für die Blueberry Auto.
Ich gehe aufgrund der äußeren Bedingungen von einer Trockenzeit von ca. 1 1/2 Wochen aus. Sobald der Trocknungsprozess abgeschlossen ist, werde ich den Post aktualisieren.
Edit: Der Trocknungsprozess hat sich kürzer ergeben als gedacht. Nach genau einer Woche konnte ich heute die Ernte trocken Trimmen.
Ergebnis: 26,1 g Trocken + 6,3 g Schnittreste
Das Ergebnis ist zwar etwas weniger als erwartet, allerdings bin ich mehr als zufrieden. Der süßlich-zitronige Gerüche ist sehr angenehm. Morgen wird die erste Kostprobe erfolgen
Hobbygrower97 The Blueberry Auto continues to bloom happily. More and more pistils in the buds are starting to turn brown. That's why I checked the trichomes yesterday. I'll give her another 1 - 2 weeks until harvest.
Unfortunately, the problem with the yellowing leaves persists. I hope that I just got a less resistant pheno here and that the other seeds will grow a bit stronger.

Hobbygrower97 This week, there haven't been any major advancements. The pistils are mostly still white. Unfortunately, my microscope isn't quite optimal, but you can see that the first trichomes are turning brown.
Since the Blue Ace CBD is already hitting me pretty hard, I have no problem leaving them a bit longer and accepting some degradation of the trichomes.
The goal is to harvest them together with the OG Kush in about a week and dry them in the tent.
Ende Woche 12:
Die Blueberry Auto hat meinen ersten Versuch mit LST ganz gut überstanden. Leider war der Stretch sehr überschaubar, was zu einer sehr kleinen und buschigen Pflanze führte. Eine stärkere Entlaubung hätte ihr bestimmt gut getan. Leider konnte ich sie nicht als ganze Pflanze hängen, da die Buds so dicht aneinander gewachsen sind und ich das Schimmelrisiko möglichst niedrig halten möchte. Das Trockengewicht sowie der Rauchbericht werden nach der Trocknung nachgereicht.
Edit: Das Trockengewicht der Blueberry Auto beträgt 46 g
@Comfrey, Thank you very much. I was able to take a small sample already. The effect is very relaxing physically, but also quite heady. The smell and taste can be summarized as lemony. For a CBD strain, it's already quite potent.
