Blueberry Auto GER Summer2025

OnkelBonsai76 Mood barometer 😀 Hello everyone, the week was quite uneventful. Occasionally, the surface was sprayed, the rest was rain. Since another plant is struggling with pests, yellow sticky traps, nematodes, and neem oil were administered as a precaution. To prevent the soil from drying out too quickly, the surface was covered with mulch fibers. Seems to be developing quite well so far 😀 Until next week

OnkelBonsai76 Mood barometer 🙂 Hello everyone, the week was uneventful. The girl is happily growing on her own without my help. I didn't have to water since it has rained more than enough. Sun 🌞 was rather a rarity 😉 So far, I've only seen pests on the yellow traps and none on the young lady. Everything is going well, but a bit more sun would be nice 🙂 See you next week!

OnkelBonsai76 Mood barometer 🙂 Hello everyone, the week was mixed. Despite perfect weather, there was hardly any growth for 4-5 days. I suspect they were drowned by the heavy rain from the previous week. There was no water all week, but the pot is still heavy. 😩 Pests are under control 😀 I will leave them "dry" for a few more days and hope for recovery 😉 Keep your fingers crossed for me, see you next week!

OnkelBonsai76 Mood barometer: 😀 Hello everyone, Week 4 is done. The weather has been optimal, and since the middle of the week, I've started watering again. She has almost doubled her height and gained quite a bit of green mass 😃 Two days ago, she started to go into flowering. I had hoped she could hold off a bit longer, but it will be fine. That way, she'll stay a bit more compact 😉 Occasionally, I still spray Neem oil and change the yellow sticky traps, not much else to do 😉 See you next week!

OnkelBonsai76 Mood barometer: 🙂 Hello everyone, Week 5 is done. The weather was optimal again except for 10 minutes of storm. There was no damage at all 😉 She has continued to gain height but remains very small overall (my problem child). She seems to be only semi-happy with her treatment. The small buds are developing further, let's see what happens. I generously removed leaves and buds from the lower part, I hope the stress isn't too much for her. I'm curious to see how she develops in the coming weeks.

OnkelBonsai76 Mood barometer: 🙂 Hello everyone, Week 6 is done. The weather was very hot 🔥 35° and more, she handled it easily. Not much height has been added, but the buds are slowly developing. You can already notice a very pleasant smell when you're near her. The anticipation is high, I'm curious to see how she develops in the coming weeks. Until then

OnkelBonsai76 Mood barometer: 😁 Hello everyone, Week 7 is done. The weather has been mixed with a few rainy days. The buds are slowly getting thicker and the trichomes are increasing. The smell is very "berry." It reminds me more of strawberries than blueberries, which doesn't bother me at all. 😊 The little beauty is already impressing me. For being so tiny, she's really putting in the effort with bud formation. 😉 I haven't given any additional nutrients since there were signs of over-fertilization on all the ladies. I'm super excited and looking forward to next week!

OnkelBonsai76 Mood barometer: 😀 Hello everyone, Week 8 is done. The weather has been mixed again with a few rainy days and cool nights. July has been rather mediocre weather-wise so far. The buds have significantly increased in volume and are developing beautifully. The wind carries a fruity scent through the garden, which puts a smile on my face every time 😀 The first sun leaves have been yellow for 2 days. There was a top feeding with Zamnesia fertilizer + worm humus + bat guano. The run-off had a pH of 7.0. It was flushed with 5.8 pH until a run-off of 6.5 pH was achieved. I hope no further deficiencies occur. I’ll keep observing and crossing my fingers 😉 I'll be back next week.

OnkelBonsai76 Mood barometer: 😀 Hello everyone, Week 9 is done. The weather has been mixed again with many rainy days and cool nights. She spent a few days under a porch. The buds are continuing to grow and new ones are forming as well. The smell is wonderfully fruity 😀 What I initially suspected to be a deficiency seems to be her autumn leaves. She's showing more and more colors in the leaves, indicating her end is near. I estimate 1-2 more weeks until she's ready for harvest. She's so beautiful and healthy, I can't stop looking at her 😊 I'll be back next week.

OnkelBonsai76 Hello everyone. The weather has continued to be rainy, and she spent her last 3 days under a canopy. I had to harvest early today after a total of 65 days due to bud rot. I would have liked to leave her for a few more days since I could only find a few dark trichomes, but that decision was taken out of my hands. I noticed slight damage on 3 buds, which I removed. The buds were trimmed right away and packed in foil bags (Dryferm). I had very good experiences with that during the last harvest. Now the weight is checked daily to determine the right time to move them into jars for the final curing. The anticipation for the first test is high and is eagerly awaited 😀
