Blueberry

Theycallme_nips Did CalMagic Foliar just in case, other plants I started had some issues so I sprayed along with. Stared light nutrients, GH line.

Theycallme_nips Got some leaf burn from high humidity at night leading to water droplets when the lights turned on. One seems to be dragging behind the rest. Waiting another week to transplant due to lack of space at the moment. One (most likely the best) will end up in this organic 20 gallon reammended pot while the other 4 will go to 5 gallon coco coir/perlite.

Theycallme_nips Ready for transplant but still no room for them to go if I move them to 5 gallon pots so they’re gonna have to wait 1 more week. Day 19 pictured above. Still growing great other than that one dud. Most likely culling it off to keep plant count low and running on with the other 4. Transplanted on day 20

Theycallme_nips Finally in their own tent where they will stay through flower. Pots are taking multiple days before drying back. Growth slowed after transplant thinking they got a bit of shock.

Theycallme_nips 2 are outgrowing the other 2. Probably getting rid of the dud in the middle here soon. Plans are to clone and top, let them recover and then flip to flower within the next 2-3 weeks. Fingers crossed we have a keeper. No training yet, trying to see their natural growth structure. Largest so far has very nice wide side branching and tight inter-nodal spacing.

Theycallme_nips Topped on day 47 at attempted to take some clones. First time giving it a go so trying with these random genetics before trying to keep a mother with some real fire. Plan is flip to flower in 2 weeks. Been feeding roughly 25% of recommended feed but all 4 seem to be healthy. Plant 1: tallest and widest. Most branching from lower nodes and responded great to tucking only for the first few weeks. Plant 2: just trailing behind plant 1 in every category. Plant 3: staying much more bushy but very even growth not requiring any defoliation Plant 4: also staying bushy but excessive internal growth that is going to require some more defoliation after flipping to flower. Hopefully some LST clips and tie downs and manage its growth and the stretch until then.

Theycallme_nips Took a minute to bounce back from topping but after they started to grow again I tied down all of the branches on 3 of the 4 plants. Plants 1 and 2 are fastest growers and I am now feeding them more than the other two. Plant 3 is staying bushy but the tie down is helping. Plant 4 is bushy and dense. Plant 5 is still in the solo cup. Hoping to maybe get 1 joint out of it for the lolz. 1-3 were showing signs of nutrient lockout I believe. Did a flush of the medium on day 60 to rid of excess salt buildup. Switching to flower once I have room to move the 2 smaller plants to another tent. Took 6 clones of plant 1 and 1 clone of the other 3 main plants. Saw roots in all but 1 of the 6 by day 13 and transplanted them into 1/2 gal nursery pots with Gaia green amended soil (peat and perlite). Fingers crossed they all make it.

Theycallme_nips After vegging for 75 days and a bad nute lockout that appears to have been fixed by a flush, we finally flip to flower tomorrow. Looks like 7 of the 9 clones made it. Lost the only cuts for plants 3 & 4 but all is good because we learned a lot.
