Bartimaeus Hello, just like the last times, I'm growing two plants on the shelf again. This time I've changed the setup a bit.
Filling and Germination:
- Fabric pot about 18 liters, soil Floragard Professional Growmix
- Seeds from Sensi Seeds - Blueberry Candiez Automatic, previously known as Blueberry Zkittlez Automatic and still listed under that name here
- I placed the seeds directly in the soil this time and covered them with a cut plastic bottle to retain moisture
- Two 33 W SpiderFarmer LED plant lights
- Small fan in front of the lights
After 4 days, the seedlings were visible. I will probably start fertilizing again like last time, only when the flowering begins.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 5
Today I stopped spraying the plant with water. Instead, I watered with tap water, and I lowered the pH of the water to about 6.5. I didn't measure the amount of water, I go by feel at the beginning.

In the last few days, I've increased the amount of water. The Blueberry Candiez had discolored, marbled leaves. So, I added 0.5 ml/L of CalMag to the watering water. I also sprayed the plants with neem oil. Just to be safe, even though no pest infestation is visible, I ordered nematodes.

The 3rd week has begun. The Blueberry Candiez is growing well. I will continue to monitor the marbling on the leaves. If it improves, I will water the ordered nematodes in the 5th week just to be safe. I have fertilized again with CalMag and brought the pH level of the water to 6.4. I watered with about 1 liter of water.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 20
Two days ago, I sprayed the plants again with neem oil. The Blueberry Candiez continues to grow well. The marbling seems to be easing a bit, so I won't water the nematodes.
Today, I watered the plant with about 2 liters of water, adding:
- CalMag 0.5 ml/L
- Bio-Down 0.5 ml/L to lower the pH level to about 6.5

The Blueberry Candiez is continuing to grow well. It's gaining size nicely and remains compact so far.
In the meantime, it's a bit taller than the Afghan Pearl standing next to it.
The soil is still moist, so I haven't watered. I've raised the lights on the shelf.

Day 28
Today I changed the height of the lights again since both plants on the shelf are growing very quickly.
The Blueberry Candiz is growing noticeably faster than the Afghan Pearl Automatic.
To improve air circulation and light penetration, I carefully defoliated the plant for the first time today.
Additionally, I turned on an extra light this week that I still have from my previous setup (9 W full-spectrum LED tube from Jungle Leaves), which illuminates the plants from the side.
I watered with 2.5 liters of water and fertilized with 0.6 ml/l CalMag and 1 ml/l Fish-Mix. I lowered the pH value to about 6.4 with Bio-Down.

I had to adjust the height of the light again. The plant is now entering pre-flowering. I removed a few of the larger leaves. The deficiency from the beginning was probably a CalMag deficiency. The nematodes I ordered just in case have been watered in today.

Day 35:
By the end of the week, the plants have grown significantly larger. I kept the soil slightly moist because of the nematodes, and at the end of the week, I watered with 0.6 ml/L Calmag and 1 ml/L Fish-Mix. I lowered the pH with 0.3 ml/L Bio-Down to about 6.5.
The plant received 2.5 liters of water.
In the next growth week, I will adjust the feeding schedule.

The plants are growing very well. To prevent the Blueberry Candiez Auto from getting too close to the light, I swapped its place with the Afghan Pearl Auto on the shelf. Both plants are entering the flowering stage, so I've adjusted the feeding schedule.
I watered with 2.5 liters of water and fertilized with 0.5 ml/L CalMag, 1 ml/L Bio-Grow, 1 ml/L Bio-Bloom, and 1 ml/L Top-Max. I lowered the pH value to about 6.5 with Bio-Down.

I had to rearrange the plants again because the Blueberry Candiez Auto no longer fits on the shelf.
It has gained a noticeable height in the flowering stage. If this keeps up, I’ll have to put it on the floor.
I’m curious to see how it develops further.

The plant has grown significantly larger and shows no deficiencies. The flowering growth is also progressing.

I actually thought that the Blueberry Candiez had finally reached its final size, but instead, it has grown another 6cm. Today I watered with 4 liters of water. The pot was very light and dry this time. I fertilized with 0.8 ml/L CalMag, 1 ml/L Bio-Grow, 2 ml/L Bio-Bloom, and 1 ml/L Top-Max. I lowered the pH value to about 6.5 with Bio-Down. I removed a few yellow and large leaves.

Most of the trichomes are still clear.

This week I changed the light cycle to 12-12.
I didn't fertilize today, but I watered the plant with 2.5 liters of water at a pH of 6.1.
The trichomes look good. After changing the light cycle, the Blueberry Candiez smells even stronger. The time for harvest is approaching.

I watered with 2.5 liters of water. I lowered the pH level to 6.2.
The buds look good. In my opinion, the change in the light cycle has pushed the trichome maturation forward.
I expect to harvest on day 93.
Die Pflanze ist prima gewachsen. Sie ist mir etwas zu groß geworden, Ich würde daher beim nächsten mal versuchen ein LST durchzuführen.
Ansonsten gab es während der Wachstums- und Blütenphase keine Probleme.
Insgesamt bin ich mit 39 Gramm Trockengewicht zufrieden.
Den Rauchbericht werde ich nach dem Aushärten nachreichen.

Today I harvested the Blueberry Candiez Auto. I'm satisfied with 207g wet weight. Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos after cutting it down.
The plant has grown significantly larger than I thought it would. If I were to grow it again, I would probably trim it.
I'm curious about the dry weight.
@UnorthadoxDude, This is not balcony growing. The plants are growing in a converted shelf from a Swedish furniture store that's in an unused bathroom. The Blueberry Candiez Auto has gotten too big for the shelf and now has to stand on the floor 😁
