Blueberry Auto FastBuds, second grow

Cam0uflag3 The plant was topped at day 15 and two big leaves were removed to allow more light onto the lower nodes. Retrospectively I would have waited one more day and removed the lowest two nodes. With this run, I selected for 6 main stems, but the lowest two held the growth down so i continued to binding down the others, which probably stunted the possible growth I started fertalising at day 13 I used a raspberry pi pico running a webapp, which tracked temp, humidity and vpd, and displayed the measurements. It used a BME280 temp, humid, press sensor over I2C. If you are interested in the program, you can just comment here

Cam0uflag3 I mainly let it ride out and did not touch it for another 4 days. Then i used more lst stakes to give each of the six stems its own place. The highest two branches were set at a 45° Angle to sit between the middle and lowest branches.

Cam0uflag3 I stopped taking daily pictures. The plants are slowly transitioning into bloom. As soon as I saw pistles, I started to give the plant the flowering nutrience from the biobizz chart. I had a simple fan blowing air at it constantly. I used a raspberry pi pico running a webapp, which tracked temp, humidity and vpd, and displayed the measurements.

Cam0uflag3 I am fairly sure by this point that i overdid the amount of LST i did, especially so late after veg. I also adapted my grow "tent" since the exess light was slightly visible through the window and annoyed neighbours because it was on until 23:00 Ohh well.

Cam0uflag3 Since I left for the week to vacation, I left the plant on my balcony in not so obvious view. I had a friend water it every other day. The plant still grew fairly well, since it is a south facing balcony. On this picture you can also see how dark colored the leaves are. This is since i am adhereing to the actual feeding chart, which is not really suitable for autoflowers I think

Cam0uflag3 This week I had a few days in which I let the plant sit on my windowstil. Other days, I kept my usual schedule kept the flower under my growlight. The watering reduced slightly but the buds kept filling up. One of the Stems decided to outgrow the others, so i did some supercropping. Something I again will probably not do again, since it really stressed out the plant.

Cam0uflag3 The flowers are starting to stack up. The plant is looking really good and enjoys life. Especially now, the enviornment was still tracked and allowed for observation on when the windows had to be opened.

Cam0uflag3 Ohhh oooo, I just found some spidermites on two leaves. While there were no other infected leaves, the infestation is quite significant. My guess is that they came in through the open window, or because i left them outside for a few days. So while i think these flowers still had a good 1 to 2 weeks to go, I harvested while no bugs were on the buds. To make sure that no animal get into my dry and destroy it, I washed my buds

Cam0uflag3 I did enjoy growing this and i learned a ton, however i had to cut the grow short, to a pont to which no all buds were quite fat enough for my taste. The effects are one of the best i have ever tried. I really enjoy it especially if i just want to get wasted into the couch. And it really did achieve that. The Pest resiliance isnt the best, so i would not reccomend growing it outdoors. Just a few days outdoors were enough to get me an infection. My next run will still be autoflowers but try to stress them a little less and get a real setup, still on a budget to increase the bag apeal of my buds. Thanks for reading!
