Blueberry Auto

towelie87 Watering done every 2 or 3 days, approximately 300ml per plant, until the substrate dries out. In the third week, I will start LST.

towelie87 Second week of Veg, performed an LST on each plant, removed two leaves.

towelie87 At the moment of LST on one of the plants, the stem broke, but it still remained connected by 1/3. I positioned the stem at the correct angle, used tape to secure and protect the stem, then used a small stake to prevent the stem from moving. The plant responded calmly, still slow growth. But it already shows signs of recovery. Both thickened the stem quite a bit, which made training difficult.

towelie87 The plant that had its stem broken has recovered very well and is going strong in the Stretch, starting to flower (the plant in the back). The other one (in the front) had a rough week, spent most of the time without turgor, without growth, apparently stuck. I don't know if the LST stake I did 10 days ago damaged some roots; I tried giving it more water, tried leaving it without water... it wasn't responding. However, in the last three days, turgor has returned, and each day it's recovering more easily, and it has started to show growth again. I imagine it has recovered and also started to flower (normal autoflower time). I started supplementing with other nutrients, bokashi, humus, and algafish. I alternate their positions and order, so the photos may have differences.

towelie87 I did some small LSTs to open up the buds. Both plants are developing normally. The difference is that the one where the stem broke the canopy is uniform. Also, to avoid breaking it again, I didn't do any more LST on the apical stem, so it became dominant. Nutrients applied according to Terrô's guidance.

towelie87 I did a light defoliation to improve air circulation between the plants; at this moment, they are still gaining height and the buds are already fattening up. The smell is already quite strong. The tips of the roots have already come out through the lower side of the pot (Terrô Solo Vivo mesh pot). The pots are really good, much better aeration than the felt ones, and their height allows for greater vertical growth of the roots. Plus, in my small grow, it works very well; if I do a well-planned LST, I can comfortably fit 4 pots.

towelie87 Stable growth, buds fattening up and trichomes becoming milky overall. The obvious difference between the upper buds and the lower ones. In one of the photos, I show a branch that seems to have stunted growth. I couldn't say the cause, maybe the stress from the break in the main stem? However, even in this condition, it's still developing and has quite a few trichomes.

towelie87 This week it's just watering control, humidity, and temperature. On the upper buds, the trichomes are almost all milky, with very few amber ones still. On the lower buds, they're transitioning from translucent to milky. Smells really good and strong! I believe in about 10-15 days the buds will be ready for harvest.

towelie87 Entering week 9. All the colors of the leaves and buds have made this plant beautiful as seen in the photos. Amber trichomes on the upper buds are starting to show nicely; on the lower buds, they are still transitioning from translucent to milky; I did a little defoliation in the middle of the plant to improve light penetration to those buds. Nice fat buds, so I believe she has had good overall development and apparently no nutrition problems. The idea is to do a full harvest, meaning when the lower buds have mostly milky trichomes, I will probably start the drying process. Normal watering every 3-4 days and using additional nutrients once a week.

towelie87 Last week just watering, no nutrients added. Trichomes overall 70% milky, 30% amber. On the lower buds, there's a trichome ratio of 80% milky, 15% translucent, and 5% amber. I believe it's a good time for harvest.
