Seedsman - Blueberry Pie F1 Fast Outdoor - Hugelkultur - Mainline

Arcadium Growing quick, bit of a stretch, will backfill when I repot.

Arcadium Early start! Keeping them in the temporary greenhouse for now, no issues, first top soon.

Arcadium First top, super early, no issues, very hardy strain so far. Will start shaping manifold soon.

Arcadium Starting the manifold, shape coming out nice, no issues, very fast growing strain.

Arcadium Manifold shapes going go, no issues training, will repot to 1 Gallon shortly, should get me through another 2 weeks before outdoors, weather permitting.

Arcadium Repotted, still shaping mainline, going great! She's been cold out, but getting her used to her new home with a makeshift greenhouse. Growing much slower due to weather but she takes it like a champ, no issues with the cold.

Arcadium Well, finally went into Hugelkultur. Weather's been good, had some 17c days, still 5c at night, so keeping greenhouse shut for now. Mainline shapes looking good, second top now too.

Arcadium Weathers been incredible, hit 21c, nights still 7c, but she's been having no issues. Built a pretty quick rig for mainline and LST, been guiding her along ever 3-4 days, no issues. Seems like she's finally settled, growing quickly now. Drip irrigation once a week, got some fish and kelp mix to help with transplant. Will be top dressing compost / Gaia Green for the rest of the grow.

Arcadium Been warming up nicely, plants settling its new home. Expanded my LST rig a bit, should make the rest of training a breeze. Maybe 3rd top next week, will see. Gave her a healthy dose of Compost tea (5ml Fish, 5ml Kelp, 5Ml molasses, 4L Water, 1cup compost bag, arreate 24hrs, dilute to 2Gal, use immediately). She really responded quickly, will be doing that every two weeks, at least. No longer making my own pest spray, just caved and got Lost Coast Plant Therapy, weekly treatments. So far so good, smells better then Neem that's for sure. Lots of ants after a mad dump of mulch in the surrounding area, 2 grows ago I had termites move into my Hugel so I'm keeping an eye on em, it's in my Blueberry diary if you want to see. Will start Gaia Green + Home made compost every 3 weeks starting next week, then drip irrigation weekly and that's it. Can't wait to see how big she's going to get.

Arcadium Well I was gone for a week so I opted to top all 8 leading nodes. Recovering nicely, weather's been amazing. Just a weekly spray of Lost Coast Plant Therapy and a top dress of 70/30 Gaia Green All Purpose to Power Bloom, mixed with compost. Pretty hands off at this point, nice full even growth, really liking this strain so far.

Arcadium Cooled off a bit this week, cloudy, slower growth, topping took a bit longer to recover then expected. She's got 16 leading nodes now, will give them all another week of growth before I continue LST, may let her get a bit taller. She's planted right below my massive cherry tree, so I'm constantly washing bird poop off. Some minor caterpillar damage, haven't bothered with BT yet, but will start before flower. Overall, really healthy, amazing color, even growth and thickening up nicely. I keep having to remind myself I'm 2 months ahead of where I was last year, and she's going to be absolutely massive regardless of how quickly she's growing now. Weekly spray of Lost Coast Plant Therapy and 2hr of drip irrigation is all I've had to do this week, just coasting through this initial veg.

Arcadium Weathers still been cool, we had 50mm of rain over 48 hours. I found a massive cluster of Orb Weaver spiderlings on my porch, so naturally I dumped them all over my plant. They've been settling in, and I'm now seeing dead and paralyzed caterpillars, so it appears to be working! Will hold off on Lost Coast spray this week as I don't want to hurt them! Last topping is really recovered now, growing quickly, LST every few days, removed a few fan leaves that were getting in the way. I'm trying to let her get a bit taller. She's almost out of horizontal space, then I'll let her grow straight up, maybe one more top in a few weeks. May do a scrog net this time, then just use LST Bud clips to keep an even canopy like last year. Hoping for some warmer weather and sunshine next week!

Arcadium Another cold wet week. Witnessed the spiderlings band together for a few days, web making at night. Then one day the wind picked up and they all disbanded, stretched out their silk and flew away all over my yard. It was such an incredible experience to watch! I should have an army of Orb weavers come flower time. Did another top dress of compost mixed with 70/30 Gaia Green AP/PB, maybe 20Tbsp. When I pulled back the mulch I got to see all the soil creatures and roots consuming the material, this really does help build extra root zone over time. Minor defoliating, I'm keeping nodes 1, removing 2 and final top at 3 (next week) to keep her spaced, then let her stretch and trellis. Should all help fill in the canopy.
