Fisrt week of these Blueberry autoflower from Santa Semilla. Everything gone well, good growth. On the seventh day, second leaves appears. I'm using an organic soil and no expected nutrients until week 4 or 5.
Plants #1 and #2 are pretty beautifuls, with good growth, until end of the day the third leaves will be ready. At the day 10 the plant #3 showed two small burns on the leaves tips and at cotyledons. I don't know the exactly reason, but maybe I let the lamps (which I complete photoperiod) too much close to plant #3. Despite that, third leave will also be ready until the end of the day. Cheers from Brazil!
Plants #1 and #2 are on the go. Both with eleven centimeters high and fourth pair of leaves on formation. Plant #3 growth stopped. I don't know what is cuasing that, today I've tried a little flush, maybe the organic soil is with too much nutrients.
Plants #1 and #2 are pretty healthy. #1 is with 15cm and #2 is 11cm high. Both start to show pre-flowers. The flush from last week on #3 worked and the growth restarted. I note that issues on plant #3 have something to do with the soil. It has more mud than usual and when it is dry it become compact (see mudcracks on photos). Wondering about transplant it, but still not sure. Cheers from Brazil!
Indeed automatic plants did as promised and flowered on fifth week. Plant #1 presents the best performance and already showed two lower buds. Plants #2 and #3 already showed their top buds. Since the plants probably are still going to stretch next week, probably use this periodo for some LST. All plants have less than 20cm, probably because the 7l pot size, after some reading it seems to be small for automatic plants. "Keep on learning..." Cheers!
The plants have already flowered, so I decided to start LST on plants #1 and #2, they were the "higher" plants (20cm). I'm used to extented vegetative photoperiods, but I think LST may increase my yield. Plant #3 is too small and no training is expected for her.
The girls were showing nutrient deficiency characteristics, so I decided to start with Big Bud. Unfornutely, plant #1 showed overfert signs, and I discovered that those nut deficiency signs were, in fact, white flies on attack. I made a completely clean at my garden, killed as many as flies (and eggs) as a could find, set some yellow traps and used neem oil. I applied the neem oil just on the environment and at the pots, never directly on the plants because I have already killed one plant with neem burns. See ya next week!
