Blueberry Auto Outdoor

So, the Blueberry Auto strain from ILGM is weird. Last week, the tallest girl was 5" high. It was about the height of a soda can - you can see in the pictures from last week! It was regular, old auto-blueberry. This week - 8 days later - that same plant is 15" tall. I measured her with a tape-measure several times. She grew 10" in 8 days. At the start of this diary, I mentioned the living soil amendment - for a 7 gallon pot, you mix about 1.5 gallons of your medium, and then put in the pound of amendment, mix it up, and then put the rest of your medium in filling, up the pot. This means most of the good stuff is at the bottom of the pot, which is fine for lots of reasons. But it ALSO means that when those roots start getting to the bottom of the pot and drinking up that goodness...BANG. Growth was awesomer this week for three of the four girls. One of these girls though just seems like a dude. She's scraggly, growing tall but really spindly, misshapen little leaves, almost no internode growth...I suspect I'll get lucky to get 15 grams off her. Just a genetic misfire. The other three are doing much better, although they all have the same quirk - one side of their internode growth is very long, the other side is very stunted. I don't think these genetics are very stable. On the other hand, they've been much more mold resistant than the big bud has been. I saw the beginnings of spider mites on one of these plants, and with the powdery mildew starting on the big bud, all the plants on my deck ended up with a neem oil/spinosad soaking. I also absolutely love the garden of eden developing in the biggest auto. The living soil is really awesome. I need to start learning about what plants are in there with them. Despite some funky inbreeding, we're still enjoying clean, country living.
