CanOli95 Warm welcome to my Diary :)
At Cannafair, it wasn't just the Spur Fraise that caught my attention, as the Blueberry Muffin has been on the agenda for a while now. I've read quite a bit that it should perform consistently well and is relatively stable. It's in the same substrate as the Spur Fraise from the other diary, but here with more pot volume. I'm really curious to see how it goes and will give it more attention and light đ±

CanOli95 This week has been pretty relaxed so far. The nutrients have been well accepted, and she has also gained some color. She's grown quite a nice bit too.
Iâll probably initiate flowering at the end of the week, because a longer vegetation period doesnât make sense due to the larger plant. Iâll have to make sure she doesnât get overshadowed anyway. If necessary, she might get a boost to have a better chance.

CanOli95 The first week of flowering has now also begun for the BBM. The little one is still growing a bit hesitantly and with a longer shoot. This is due to the fact that it is being shaded by another plant. Nevertheless, it is already showing the first pistils in the leaf axils. It is indicated to have a flowering time of about 45 days, which I find hard to imagine. Still, I'm curious to see how far it will come in this time.
I'm not giving the BBM any training. Bending it would only subject it to the growth of the other plants. I'm just letting it do its thing and watching it grow. Thanks to the additives in the soil, it is supplied with nutrients for a long time, so I only need to adjust the pH of the tap water a bit and add Epsom salt to adjust the calcium/magnesium ratio accordingly.

CanOli95 The second week has also begun here.
The week went quite relaxed. The little one is growing further and forming new shoots. On the nutrient side, everything looks very relaxed as well; there's nothing to complain about. The only negative is that the shading will probably be even greater. For comparison, I took a joint photo with a spritz that is running indoors. The spritz is doing very well, but it doesn't have a diary.
In the picture, you can see a small shoot in the right corner, desperately trying to climb towards the light. Nevertheless, it doesn't look like the mechanism of phototropism is kicking in yet, which tells me that the light is well adjusted. Another Sanlight is hanging in the right corner and is slightly angled so that the BBM is directly illuminated.

CanOli95 Update from afar đ
The flowers are developing very nicely and everything looks good in the pictures so far. There are many nice spots where buds are developing. Overall, it looks very promising so far, but a detailed description will follow as soon as I am back.

CanOli95 So, I'm back. The BBM is looking really good in terms of flower growth. Unfortunately, some thrips have spread, which I couldn't have known, or I wasn't informed. Accordingly, predatory mites are being ordered to contain the damage. Unfortunately, it's already too far into flowering to get rid of them completely.
Still, the BBM itself seems rather unfazed when you look at the development of the flowers. Now that I'm here, I can also see how big it has gotten. It has made a huge leap, which I honestly didn't expect.

CanOli95 Eine neue Woche ist zuende.
Die Dame wĂ€chst fröhlich vor sich hin und wird immer frostiger. Die Trichome sprieĂen bis zu den Enden der ZuckerblĂ€tter und sammeln sich dort allmĂ€hlich an, was mir gut gefĂ€llt.
Besonders schön finde ich die Budstruktur. die einzelnen Kelche scheine sich zu stapeln und dabei diffus in alle Richtungen zu sprieĂen, als wĂŒssten sie nicht wo sie hin sollen.
Mittlerweile ist auch die SchĂ€dlingskontrolle eingetroffen. ich habe zur Sicherheit etwas mehr als notwendig bestellt, und einige TĂŒten direkt auf die FĂ€cherblĂ€tter gestreut und ein paar andere verteilt aufgehangen.
ich plane noch etwa 2-3 Wochen , dann befĂ€nden wir uns an Woche 8 bis 9 der BlĂŒte, was wohl treffend fĂŒr eine, zumindest der Optik nach, eher "Indicalastige" Hybride wĂ€re, wie es auch vom Breeder angegeben ist.
NĂ€hrstofftechnisch ist die Pflanze auch noch sehr gut aufgestellt, aber fĂŒr meinen Geschmack noch zu viel Stickstoff. Das lĂ€sst sich gut an den TiefgrĂŒnen BlĂ€ttern erkennen. dennoch bildet die Pflanze keine Adlerkrallen, also scheint es wohl noch gerade so zu passen..einen richtigen Fade wird es aber voraussichtlich nicht mehr zum Ende der BlĂŒte geben.
Dennoch bin ich momentan alles in allem, abgesehen von den SchÀdlingen, sehr zufrieden. Vorallem wenn man bedenkt, dass die Vegi ja wirklich sehr kurz war.

CanOli95 So, lange wird es nicht mehr dauern.
Die Pflanze ist gut am reifen und der Geruch wird auch intensiver.Der Geruch könnte noch etwas stÀrker in die Blueberry Richtung gehen, aber ich denke da wird noch etwas passieren.
Die Erde ist so langsam ausgezehrt, was die Versorgung an Phosphor und Kalium angeht.
bis jetzt fand ich die Mischung aber nicht schlecht, vor allem wenn man bedenkt, dass es sich um nur um 10 Liter handelt und ich nicht ein einziges mal in der gesamten Lebenszeit der Pflanze gedĂŒngt habe. Einfach anmischen und vergessen, fĂŒr einen entspannten Run. Bei dem nĂ€chsten GieĂen werde ich aber eine kleine Menge Phosphor und Kalium mit hinzugeben, um noch ein wenig etwas rauszuholen.
BlĂŒtenstruktur der BBM wird immer interessanter. Das diffuse Wachstum der BlĂŒten wird immer stĂ€rker und es scheint so, als ob die Basis der Knospen schmaler wĂ€re, als die Kelche die auf ihnen Wachsen. Diese ragen nĂ€mlich weiter zur Seite hinaus, als die Basis der Kelche. Das Wachstum erinnert mich ein wenig an die Pomelo, welche ich mal angebaut habe. Die BlĂŒten der BBM sind jedoch gröĂer. Mal schauen wo die Reise noch hinfĂŒhrt, ich bin gespannt.

CanOli95 Weâre slowly nearing the end.
The lady looks really far along, so the breederâs estimated timeline is almost spot on. Sheâs now had about 8 weeks of flowering, and Iâll be harvesting in the next few days. The trichomes look great, and the buds have gradually reached their maximum swell.
Iâm just not sure yet whether Iâll harvest the whole plant at once or just the top third and let the rest ripen further. The aroma has become much more intense by now, but it doesnât quite smell like Blueberry yet. That said, itâs a pretty ambitious target. Still, I think Dutch Passionâs Blueberry from their regular lineup, with the purple genotype, would be much more intense in terms of that blueberry aroma.
Nevertheless, this plant smells really delicious and puts on a beautiful display of colors. More to come when the scissors start snipping.
@CanOli95, You're absolutely right, genetics are probably the biggest piece of the puzzle. I've seen plenty of purple photos online from growers in much warmer climates than mine.
Unfortunately, my nights here on Statia rarely drop below 26-28°C year-round, so I'm missing one of the factors that can really help those colors express themselves. Still, your plant is proof that good genetics can do a lot of the heavy lifting.
Those buds are gorgeous, by the way.Some colors just don't show up very often in a tropical garden, which makes them even more special to see.

Thanks so much for growing our genetics and sharing your journey! Weâre super happy to have your trust and canât wait to follow the grow from start to finish! đ
