Blueberry Headband OJ Cheese Update Dec 29 Day 50 Flower
Have noticed an immediate response from the plants after the leaching and light raising. 24โ seems to be the magic number. Work up from 30-40% strength at seedling and gradually move up to 75% at the end of veg. By the third to last week of flowering should be at 100%.
Have fed the Girls nutes Weds. Cheese got no N as itโs supposedly within three weeks of harvest. Next week will leach heavily and feed only water. The rest of the Girls got the full treatment. NPK and CalMag. This is three days after leaching. Tried leaving the exit fan on so the humidity wouldnโt climb too high during the evening. Turned the heater off as well so it wouldnโt be running constantly as the air was being sucked out anyway. The temp reached 59ยฐF. A tad too cold. The next evening, even though the RH was still high, I left the fan off. Thought the heater was re-plugged in but no. Temp only went down as far as 62ยฐF. Still too low but better.
The third night everything was plugged in normally and 65ยฐ was the nighttime low. Acceptable. Going to keep the nighttime temp there for the remainder of the grow. Colors should appear.
Blueberry Headband is doing well. #1 is sprouting new calyxes from the ground up and the flowers are turning a dark purple. It seems way ahead of #2 which seems to be behind them all. New calyx growth there as well but the buds are much smaller with virtually no red hairs while #1 looks like itโs almost ready to harvest if you were judging by the hairs. The aroma is intoxicating!
The Orange Juice is leaping ahead! Looks like itโs getting ready to harvest as well but there has been an explosion of new calyxes and swelling hasnโt started on any of the babes yet. The Cheese may be starting.
So, about three weeks for Cheese and 5 weeks for the rest.
By my guesstimation, these shouldโve been vegged for another two weeks at least. That would be eight weeks!
Big learning curve this week as I metered my well water which Iโve been relying on more and more as bottled is expensive. Neither I nor my dog drink it. TDS is over 700 PPM. Almost double the safe consumption level of 400 PPM.
Have leached the plants once more extensively using RO water with a final .5Gal of PHed water with SuperThrive.

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, Last season your Amherst Sour Diesel was outstanding! Great yield! Potent! Most important, it's flavor and aroma made it a connoisseur strain for me. 4 months in jar and it's just astounding! All my friends want to buy it because it's better than anything that's available in the local dispensaries. I'll PM you some photos...
I like your top to bottom air exchange system well thought out. Although in flowering youโll want those lower temps for denser buds. Definitely helps to air out your pots... ๐
@GreenHouseLab, Because I implemented such strict environmental controls I have indeed lowered the temps to 75-80 during the day and 70 at night but will dip into 65 or so the final week to bring out colours. ๐
@@motaman311, Thanks. There have been issues and this harvest will not be a record breaker by any means. Thinking one BHB is a totally FU. Full of red hairs and seems to have swollen way ahead of the rest. The rest are doing OK. We'll see. Getting impatient to do DWC.
@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, it is getting ready to explode! All these beautiful little 'pearls' of calyxes ready to let loose! Plus, the aroma! My Gawd, the aroma! Like nothing I've ever grown before! So looking forward to ripening! Can I keep my little grubby hands of it till then? We'll see.
The stretch phase is over now it's time for our Blueberry Headband to show the world what she can do ๐ค
So far we love what we see ๐

@@motaman311, Not as Cheesey as one would hope but that could be the pheno. I really like the strain and the aroma. It is definitely Cheese. It was my freebie seed. I would grow it again. The UK Cheese maybe more what you're after, not that I have had any experience with it but the Europeans really like this strain.
