Blueberry - QCS

LovelyTerps May 13 2026 Progress is good. I accidentally left the humidifier empty and the VPD was a little high for a couple days, which caused some tip burn and a bit of stress. She's none worse for it though, still very healthy.

LovelyTerps May 20 2026 She's growing fast, but staying nice and short with tight internodal spacing, likely due to a sustained high humidity and leaving the lights on seedling spectrum. I will switch lighting to veg next week, and repot her into a 5 gallon grow bag, and that will be her final home for the rest of the grow.

LovelyTerps May 26 2026 She's been repotted into a 5 gallon grow bag, and that will serve as her home for the remainder of the grow. The soil in the bottom half is pro-mix all purpose, and the top half is a combination of coco coir, perlite, worm castings, biochar, blood meal, bone meal, Epsom salts, and a bit of cal-mag. Healthwise she is doing good, and also putting off a very faint aroma.

LovelyTerps June 3 2026 4 weeks old and charging ahead. She was topped today, leaving enough nodes to make her a 8-shooter after I remove the 2 bottom shoots that can be kept for cloning, as those generally take root the best. She is already putting off a noticeable aroma in the tent, kind of a funky spicy smell at this point.

LovelyTerps June 10, 2026 She's stretching now, and looking nice and even so far, barely any imperfections. Lighting has been increased to 20 DLI for now, I don't want to blast her too quickly yet. There's also some mild chlorosis in new leaves that's been present throughout the grow, and throughout I've been doing foliar sprays with cal-mag-iron-nitrogen, and that seems to be helping after a few days of application. I'm pretty sure it's genetic, as there's also a few leaves that are near albino and unable to get much color other than yellow, which is often an issue with a lack of iron. I'll continue to treat new leaves as they come and try not to defoliate too much, other than some lollipopping after the stretch is over. I may try to find an iron supplement to add to the spray or the reservoir, just to target iron specifically and see if that corrects the issue.

LovelyTerps June 17 2026 She is now 6 weeks old and really starting to stretch. She is also drinking a lot of water, about 2 liters per day, and eating like a horse. All the training staples have been removed and I'm letting her grow freely, as the tops are all spaced enough apart, but still under the light. I made the decision last week to cut off the top branches and make her a six-shooter, as this will allow for light to get to the secondary branches in the center. There is a lot of branching happening everywhere, enough that I'm going to have my work cut out for me after the stretch is complete. Her aroma is starting to mature, a blend of skunk, berries and spice that together has a sweet perfume-like smell. The smell leans more on the berries and spice, and the skunk is more subtle.
