Bay Berry Mac

hxfflepxff The seedling seems to be thriving well. It’s under 24-hour light, positioned about 24 inches away from the grow light. However, I feel the seedlings have stretched a bit too much, so I’ll be adding more soil as needed if they get too tall.

hxfflepxff The plant has been successfully transferred into a 3-gallon pot, which will accommodate its growth for the remainder of its life cycle. No signs of growth stagnation have been observed, and it appears to be adapting well to its new environment, showing healthy development. Next week, a gradual shift in nutrient composition will be implemented to support its continued growth, with adjustments based on its current needs and stage of development. To maintain optimal hydration and prevent nutrient lockout, PH-balanced distilled water will continue to be used. The plant is currently following a light cycle of 24 hours of light followed by 4 hours of darkness, which is being monitored to ensure proper photoperiod conditions for its growth phase. At this point, the plant's sex remains undetermined, as there are no definitive signs of gender—such as the development of pre-flowers or sex organs—yet. Close observation will continue over the coming weeks to identify any sexual characteristics.

hxfflepxff Gender is still unknown at this time. Appears to be growing happily under 24 hours of light. Will be adding compound tea next feeding. Will infuse with 1 fruit. Still deciding between Papaya, Strawberry’s or Blueberry’s.

hxfflepxff This week has shown significant progress. I opted to activate the vegetation lights, which should enhance growth further. It’s evident that this plant is female, so there won’t be a seed diary for now. I also incorporated garden wire for Low Stress Training (LST), which is already contributing to a fuller, more robust canopy. Overall, the plant appears healthy and thriving—I’m excited to see just how large it can grow this season.

hxfflepxff She has entered the vegetative phase, during which she'll remain for several weeks, contingent on her growth rate and structural development. I plan to employ low-stress training (LST) to manipulate apical dominance, encouraging lateral growth and the formation of multiple primary colas to maximize canopy efficiency and overall yield potential.

hxfflepxff She is currently 5 nodes tall and exhibiting healthy, vigorous growth. I am contemplating transitioning her into the flowering phase within the next week or two, depending on how she continues to develop. Throughout the low-stress training process, all stems have remained intact with no accidental snapping or stress-induced damage, ensuring the plant is well-structured and resilient. My primary objective is to encourage the formation of multiple colas during the flowering phase, optimizing yield and overall bud development. The plant is showing strong potential for this, with a well-balanced canopy. Additionally, I am prepared to take clones if needed, either to preserve her genetics or to enhance my grow setup.

hxfflepxff The plants are handling daily low-stress training (LST) really well — all the stems are staying strong and flexible, with no breaks or major stress signs. I've also been doing some regular defoliation to open up the canopy, improve airflow, and make sure lower sites are getting enough light. So far, everything’s bouncing back quickly after each session. I’m still debating whether to cut a few stems to start some clones; it’ll probably depend on how bushy they get over the next week or two. For now, I'm planning to keep them in the vegetative stage a little longer — maybe another few weeks — to really build up strong branches and lots of healthy growth before flipping them to flower.
