Two Shades of Dutch Passion

dubtil Very little strech from the Blueberry. This is my second one and she has totally other phenotype then my first one. Very compact and short internodes.

dubtil The water here has 67mg calcium and 17mg magnesium. Because of that and the photone power of the GCX4 PWR I have to use 2.5ml from the CalMag. I try to give 10ml PK 5-8 in 2 weeks. VPD is between 1.3 and 1.6 in the evening.

dubtil I can't seem to get the calcium-magnesium issues under control with the Frozen Biscotti. Either it has to do with the plant's age—I'm now on day 78—or the PK boost was too much for the system after all and caused the lockout. The Blueberry is also now showing mild symptoms on the top fan leaves. Since the relative humidity has risen, I’ve slightly increased the temperature to reach a VPD of 1.4. I’m going to let the plants grow until May 25. Starting next week, at least the Frozen Biscotti will only get water. I'll decide on the spot what to do with the Blueberry. It might end up in the kitchen under the grow light while my other two plants dry out. I also cut off three branches that were about to break off, so they're already drying out.

dubtil After checking the trichomes with my pocket microscope today, I noticed that some of the trichomes on the Frozen Biscotti are now turning amber. Considering that temperatures will be around 25°C around the 25th and could reach up to 28°C in extreme cases, I’ve decided to harvest and dry the plants on May 18, 2026, so I can dry them using my preferred method.

dubtil Harvest time!
