As of day 43, the Blue Dream'Matic has gotten taller than any other auto I have grown despite the LST and FIM I had performed earlier in the grow. I have had to support the FIM location as a vertical split has just begun to form. I have two stakes pushing up the opposite branches where the split has formed so hopefully that prevents any further progression.
The buds are slowly swelling, and will likely form nice long colas. I have paused uploading my timelapse as I sort out how to get more consistent images of the swelling buds. I believe I have sorted out my clamp mount, so hopefully I will have some better results to upload next week.
Thanks for reading!
There is some damage on the first set of leaves, I was thinking it's either due to fungus gnats which I am in the process of eliminating, or an early cal-mag issue from before I increased my nutes. Any thoughts?
I have had a few seedlings that have had similar issues. Strange because other seedlings in the same environment didn't show any issues. One time my pH runoff jumped to 7.5 in fresh perlite and it caused similar damage. I think some seedlings are more sensitive and have a harder time adjusting to pH and nutrients. The new growth looks good so she should be in good shape now. I have never had a calcium deficiency earlier than around week 4 with the Flora so I don't think that is your issue.
Time really flies....i remember we started our diaries at the same time back in Christmas.
Almost got emotional when i saw the final timelapse.
Well...Gongratulations friend for that impressive yield.
I hope you enjoy.
@CannaSapiens, thank you for your kind words! Your plants are coming a long well, I am sure they are going to produce some great harvests as well! It is great to finally enjoy the fruit of one's labours after all the hard work. Stay safe in these crazy times!
Your ladies look great! Fantastic work. Bmsome happy and healthy giant bushes there. Nice work. Keep doing what you've been doing and best of luck with the rest of the ride growmie.
Great diary! I did have to look up "fertigate" though. π You've knocked me off the fence - I'm definitely ordering some Fastbuds. Good luck in the contest. I'm looking forward to future diaries from you.
@mrchicks, thanks for the kind words! Good luck on you Blueberry journal as well. I was blown away with the fertigation results, but hand watering many times a day was a lot of work. Next grow I will have an irrigation system on a timer to do it for me lol
@Afrogerweed, yeah, I think that it was part genetics, but I also blasted it with more light than it needed which kept the internodes pretty close! Thanks! ππ±
