Day 22 - The nutes begin! I am running the first week or so (Week 4) at half strength, so 0.5ml per litre. Will up it to 1ml soon enough and then leave it at that until flowering begins. Watered in at 6.1 to change it up a bit. I am going to be aiming at 5.8 - 6.2 for my watering. The soil I am using suggests 5.5-6.0 and BioBizz mention 6.0-6.5. So as the soil is buffered against the drop to a lower PH and not a higher one, that is where I am aiming at. Being sure to change up the ph slightly from feed to feed.
Day 23 - Pics updated. Topping looks good as the shoots are really starting to come out. Hope two nice branches grow from that, then I can top again in some time.
Day 24 - Pics updates.
Day 25 - I decided to top the plant one node lower. I ended up nipping the first topping when I went to clean it up. I left it for a day, and then saw how the node below it was rocketing with growth. So this means I topped between the 2nd and 3rd node. This was risk, but with the strong stem and good growth I saw, I felt it was the right decision. Fast forward a few days and she is growing strong. Still not drinking to much, but I did take a chunk of the plant away. We should be on our way to more growth soon.
Day 27 - Nice strong growth from the 2 new branches.
Day 28 - The growth continues. Looking pretty good for 4 weeks in. I did let her stretch too much, so that will be a lesson for next time. Will be topping again soon as the 2nd node is already showing on the new branches.
I currently have two journals for bubbleberry. What breeder did you get the seeds from? Mine is clone. She is looking really good, gonna blow up for bloom
