CBD Blue Shark Day 21 - 2020.01.21: Hello friends, I'm sorry for being delinquent in commenting on this grow; I got hit by a car last autumn and I'm still struggling a bit with depression and anxiety (hence the weed!). Let me assure you that the Shishkaberry from last year was very helpful 😌
So to begin with I have to thank Barney's Farm for their great genetics. These seeds can be found as part of their High CBD Cannabis Strains Collection: https://www.barneysfarm.com/cbd-blue-shark-11
Ok, all 3 young plants are doing well at the end of the third week (calculated from when the taproots were put into the Jiffys).
This week I started the regular fertigation schedule for the vegetative period. I'm getting very precise with the measuring of the nutrients, I'm using some industrial syringes for accuracy like Dr. Coco recommends. The TDS is high - I'm working on it.
Next week I think they'll be ready to top to begin the HST.
Alright gang, I'll close for now, with love. 😊
CBD Blue Shark Day 22 - 2020.01.22: Moved them out of the 'nursery' AKA the warm humid bathroom under the little CFLs to the closet, under the big old 1000w HID. The humidity levels dropped significantly resulting in the leaves curling. This strain isn't that tolerant of sub-optimal humidity - they were affected for almost a week.
Day 23 - 2020.01.23: FIMd them without issue - they began to regrow by the following morning - this is a good hardy strain.
Day 27 - 2020.01.27: Fertigated per above.
CBD Blue Shark Day 33 - 2020.02.02: This morning I began to transplant them into their final pot, a 3 US Gallon fabric grow bag, only to realize that I didn't have enough Promix left. I watered them with plain pH'd water (137 ppm) and let them stand knee deep in their new homes.
These are really strong, healthy, bushy plants - so far so good!
CBD Blue Shark Flowering Day 15 - 2020.02.19:
Started defoliating. Of the 3 lovely ladies, I topped one and FIMed the other two. It's been interesting to watch the difference in their reactions. I'm looking forward to comparing the final yield of each.
There's a wide variation in their heights at this point: Of the two FIMed ones, one is 53 cm tall (21") and the other is 41 cm (16"). The topped one by contrast is 28 cm (11")!
PS: They're starting to smell wonderful!!!!
I have a strain that I think is a close relative of blue shark and she wasn't showing till about week 3.
Though I'm looking into Advanced Nutrients "Bud Blood" and "Bud Ignitor" to see if they really do speed up this process.
Her pistils will probably pop any day now but you won't get an indicator of eventual bud sites for a while.

The largest one is 71 cm tall (28 inches), the medium 56 cm tall (22 inches), and the smaller one is 31 cm (12 inches), so, huge variation there haha.
This strain is THIRSTY, and they smell lovely.
The leaves are starting to get frosty and the buds are in full progress.
