Blueberry

Using fox farm Ocean forest soil. So not using any nutrients for the first 3 weeks. By the time I do start to use nutrients, my roots should have developed enough that I'll be able to start up my Autopot system. I'll be using Remo with Terpinator.

Autopot system got turned on today. Super simple system, user friendly and not to expensive. I've got a 4 pot system with the air dome system and a nutradip growboss monitoring system and all that was still less then $1000. Plants finally started to really grow in the last week, over 10 inches in less then 7 days.

What a week. First I had issues with my reservoir getting to hot. Removed the water pump I was using to store the water and added a bigger air pump and a second large air stone instead. Then I had 1 plant with powdery mildew and spider mites so I did a solid clean up on all the plants. Then lastly i had one plant start to fall over because i guess i didn't plant it deep enough in the dirt so i added a small bamboo stick for support. Next to the plants are looking great and well be switching to bloom Friday.

Great week. Lots of growth. Just so everyone knows my measurements for nutrients is for my 12 gal reservoir. I dont give my plants that much nutrients a day, I'd be crazy. So for the hight (caz I cant put multiple nights in the measurement spot) 37 (front right) 32 (front left) 34 (back left) and 42 (monster in the back right). The only problem I had this week was with humidity, so I added a 35 pint toshiba dehumifier to my grow office (wifes name for it). Also the GH Armor Si I dont add to the reservoir. I mix up 8 cups of ph balanced water with armor si at the end of every week and feed from the top with it.

So this week had its ups and downs. 3 days into the week I noticed my back left plants growth had slowed down. It wasn't the smallest one, but it is now. But if my back right one keeps growing like it is, itll beat my record for biggest blueberry strain (52 1/8 inches). Also been having a issue well build up in my reservoir, been adding hydrogen peroxide but not a lot. Had to add a drain off to my dehumidifier because its 2L (small capacity for a 45 pint dehumidifier) would fill up in less then 24 hours. On a plus the bud development on the plants is off to a great start. Did some lolipoping to clean up the bottom and to get some good airflow from my muffin fan.

Well another week of nice growth. My plant in the back right is 2 inchs from my record for blueberry plants. Having a bit of a powdery mildew on a small number of lower leaves but nothing to crazy. Finally got Purpinator (better late then never) probably to late in bloom to see what itll completely do, but what the hell right. Also speaking of nutrients I noticed that I forgot to remove grow from my list on here back in flower week 1 and forgot to add bloom, flower and candy. So if you were readying my nutrients chart and were wondering how the F I was getting 1400ish ppm, that's why, my bad lol.

Plants hight growth is slowing down. Dont see them getting much taller then they currently are. The buds are growing very nicely for a non-Co2 system. Got lots of tops, but so far only a handful of nice size ones. With all the hiccups that have accord this go around, I'm still expecting a decent grow. Happy growing.

Man this week has had some ups but also some big fucking downs. Noticed spider mites on 1 of my plants at the beginning of the week and got them under control, then that same plant started to show signs of stress and the strength in the branches started to weaken so I had to reinforce it with bamboo sticks but only had 30 inch ones and the plants 48 inchs tail. Next to that plants looking good. Big one in the back is the same hight as my record with blueberry, 52 inchs. If I had vegged for a full 4 weeks instead of 3 and a half, this thing would have been a monster. Happy growing

Plants are getting 1 more week of nutrients then I'm going to start flushing. Trying to get everything all linded up so that 3 days after they come down, the next batch (Purple Haze) well be going up. Dont want to wait to long to get set up. Need something to do if we go I to full lock down so. Stay safe out there and happy growing.

Started flushing a day earlier just to get the ball moving. Going to flush for 7 days, then chop the top section off, lower the light and then chop the second half 2 days later. Purple Haze diary should be starting April 1st as long as everything goes as planned. Happy growing everyone.

Cropped the tops, lowered the light so to help ripen the bottom half of the plants. Hang dried for 2 days, drying rack for 2 days and then cured in a dark room in glass jars for 2 days. First time sectioning the crop like that and the bottom buds looked a lot nicer the day i cropped the bottom then the day I cropped the top. 2 extra days for the bottom helped. Happy growing
