I am very happy about this grow and most of all about the in the best case natural and original genetics which I will support with much devotion and love (; Genetics: 10x 1970’s Original Blueberry Regular Growing pots: 10x 1L terracotta pots Cultivation soil: 50% dried alpaca dung 50% mycorrhiza substrate Cast-on with: EM / EM Terrafert soil / Mycorrhiza Soluble Germination: Set into the earth on 20.09.20 After 5 days 9/10 -> 3 days later 10/10 At first I put them under led light but then I decided to use 400W HID because of the warmth and the quality of the light. The first pairs of leaves have already developed and the vegetation of the old school genetics combined with newer raising techniques and my training of 8 years begins ;D Thank you for coming and all the best for your grow! (: Best Regards Organic_Herbalist

Finally the review from the last 2 weeks: Setup: Genetics: 10x Bleberry Regular in 3,5L pots Lighting: 600W MH bulb + Adjust A Wing reflector medium Fan: CanFan Q-Max EC 160 / 746 + Controller Ventilation: 2x fans (floor/middle) During this time a lot has happened and I have spent hours researching, collecting a lot of information and learning a lot more. At the beginning of the second week I noticed that they don't have this strong green as it usually was. I took measurements on the substrate and rinsed several times to correct the ph value. The next day I took another measurement with a soil meter (exactly the same value) and when I measured all the plants I noticed that it did not work anymore and always showed the same value. Then I repotted them in 3,5l pots with mycorrhiza substrate and wrongly assumed that this pH value would fit... After repotting, I wanted to know more and made a comparison: so I rinsed my own compost and the mycorrhiza substrate with the same amount of water and tested the ph value of the drained water. The result was really surprising for me. The outgoing water of the compost soil had a ph value of about 8 and the mycorrhiza substrate had a ph value of about 5. As soon as I knew about it I potted them the very next day in a 50/50 mixture as I found that when I mix them like this an airy structure is created in the soil with an optimal pH value of 6-6.5 (the compost has proven to be too solid and impermeable by itself over the years but unfortunately it is too solid and impermeable + I regularly add nutrients to it to keep it that way). I also use for the first time a 600W MH bulb for the growing phase and I am already very surprised about the difference and the fact that I have overlooked this important factor for so long... Meanwhile the ladies look simply perfect, the green glows and they sprout - what more could you want? ;-D Best Regards Organic_Herbalist

It runs perfectly such an impressive development I have never seen before ;-D In addition to the setup mentioned above, a reverse osmosis unit has been added as an important factor, with which you can filter chlorine, oxidation residues from pipes, herbicides and many other substances. After mixing 200L of soil i will put the beautiful ladies in 18,8L pots today, which will be refined with nutrients and mycorrhiza granules. The filter fleece will be changed and a 2. 600W lamp will be added. in the growth phase with a MH bulb + a NDL 600W / in the flowering phase with 2x 600W NDL. I am looking forward to the further development and to continue with full genetic / light potential ;D Best Regards Organic_Herbalist

Now after the fifth week the ladys were planted in 18,8L pots and two days later they were fimed. Since the repotting I expose them with 1200W (600W MH / 600W NDL) for 3 days in one constellation and 3 days the other way round so that every plant gets the same light and the same amount of it. It goes ahead ;-D Best Regards-Organic_Herbalist

The most bitter part of growing with regular genetics is to sort out the weeks of lovingly groomed males. As a respectful honor the following perfectly grown and circumcised males... This week the main focus was on the gender determination and the repositioning of the ladies. Best Regards - Organic_Herbalist

Very very powerful / magnificent ladies. The development towards flowering is in full swing. They have been fimmed on the top and the smallest shoots have been cut off at the bottom so that the side shoots now have enough energy to shoot up in the stretch for 2 weeks. This is my second growth in which I have fimmed the plants. the last time I cut the plants to 5-8 crowns and the pruned shoots did not grow any further, this time the tips of some plants continued to grow bent (obviously very vigorous ;-D) and 2/3 days later I cut them off completely and 5-8 crowns were created, so there are only healthy and vigorous shoots.

The ladies have turned into monsters ;-D. In the 5th week of growth I oriented myself to the smaller plants and added the 1st week of growth. But it turned out that the smaller plants were all males (so far the males were bigger and bigger ;-D) Since the binding they develop much better due to a better light uptake/distribution.

3.week flowering is over and so is the insane stretch ;-D In the past they did not grow as big as hoped for, humanly that one exaggerates on the contrary but after that one has hopefully found the golden mean :p the gap between not too small and jungle is very narrow (especially if you have no experience with genetics) This time clearly in the direction of the jungle but with less plants and therefore more space for each lady to spread out and tie.

The stretch is over and now, as you can see, the ladies devote themselves entirely to flower production. Otherwise everything is in the green area: no pests / deficiency symptoms or so. except for one Berry have all rich green leaves and feel obviously quite well. That they are very large it is not so easy to keep track of but with enough dedication / time and energy no problem. In the future I will send them at the latest after the 5th week vegetation in the flowering phase. Best Regards - Organic_Herbalist

My guideline is quality before quantity and so far I am very satisfied. Clear differences in the development and characteristics but exactly this unpredictability and associated diversity and whims of nature + the human energy to it always makes the whole thing a small / big surprise and thus becomes really interesting. As described in the characteristics of blueberry, the flowers are a little smaller than in my past grows but in the best case all the more potent.the smell gives good reason (very intense from spicy notes with one to fruity/sweet notes with another lady :p The anticipation of snacking on it is now very large ;D The setup is always different, just like the composition of the earth and many other factors which offers additional surprises ;-D I have observed in the past several times how boringly alike plants develop in pre-determined ready soil. since mostly all synthetic (unfortunately) nutrients are always contained in the same parts, it narrows the unfolding of the possibilities very much. (biologically/organically it is impossible to grow 2x with only approximately the same soil). What you do not know you can not miss unfortunately ... I am convinced that if all once organically grown grass would try, they would then also prefer.for me that is no longer in question already because of the fact that organic additives such as coffee, citrus in the admixed substrate in the final product have very positive effects such as on the taste.

The first ladies are surprisingly ready after 6 weeks, which of course makes me very happy. 2 more berrys will be harvested in the next few days.the 5th (BB 3) has generally a better metabolism and anlage to even more potent and exquisite quality.I am already full of anticipation ;D After the first tasting I am very excited ;-D more details will be available after a good drying and fermentation of the buds. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and lets stay BAKED ;-D Best Regards - Organic_Herbalist

4 of 5 berrys were harvested and the grow is nearing the end but after the grow is before the grow ;-D The effect / taste is now already a madness. I am very curious how it will be after a few weeks of fermentation and give soon in the review my feedback on the variety. The best comes at the end applies from what you can see here clearly. While the other ladys already had inflorescences, the last one was mostly leaves and she stood the entire grow cycle very stable, with absolutely green leaves and a great metabolic rate there. From my past as a grower, the ladys that had the longer flowering time were usually more potent, tastier and much deeper and fuller in effect. Unfortunately, a few hermaphrodite towards the end of flowering (the problem what some grower have reported with the hermaphrodite in the middle of flowering, I can unfortunately confirm in this case) which is not too bad because they do not have enough time to also form them.Belongs in any case said otherwise a very convincing genetics with strong effect and beautiful color play.

The best comes at the end and these pictures show that clearly ;-D I am thrilled since the 1st day of the ladies, such a play of colors with such a potency and this delicious smell I have experienced the first time but there will certainly come in the future still a lot ;p Very fine variety with exceptional effect and taste but more detailed info will follow in the review. A big thank you to all who follow the diaries and have wished positive vibes something I appreciate very much and nice that I can share results here with like-minded. :D Best Regards - Organic_Herbalist

The grow was very exciting and very colorful. Since they have grown much too large was of course a lot of work but the results are really fine.
