Transplanted into 5 gal equivalent air pot. I used a mix of leftover Recipe 420 soil, perlite, earthworm castings and Earth Juice Amazon Bloom soil which was a bit more spendy. The plant seems very happy! Last week I also augmented my lighting with a 65W Horticulture Lighting Group 3000K quantum board I found on Amazon for $99, thanks to Bigpun. It’s making an enormous difference. I will get back to numbering days.
Added nematodes on day 37 and watered
I have never had a plant look like this yet. Like it’s supposed to.
Added nematodes to innoculate soil.
Much better isn't it ? 😉
The leaves are still a bit puffy but less than last week, keep on doing like that !
But she's still full of water , can you see those kinds of speed bumps on the leaves ? It's the cells still full of water !
Tag me next week. If you don't change anything , she will be fine in 3 weeks 😉
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I didn’t understand what the speed bumps meant but now I do. I have symptoms on one of my others plants (Summertime Squeeze) and am letting all of them dry more thoroughly before watering by waiting for the pot to get light. The blueberry cheese also had pretty curled leaves and she had recovered nicely. The enzymes are pretty miraculous.
Thanks for checking in.
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Well I will try! I have nothing really to lose right now. I poked through the soil pretty thoroughly with a skewer. I don’t have enzymes, but can order some. If there’s a product you recommend let me know—I will check your diaries for what you use. I also don’t think I have trichoderma. I have root microbes, and some humic acid, and over a pound of mycorrhizae.
@TheFairyBudMother, yes, in 3 steps. First step add some enzymes , at max amount recommended by manufacturer, lift the pot and keep the weight in mind. Step 2, on the next day use a knitting needle to poke the soil to oxygenate it and uncompact it. Keep on lifting the pot everyday until it becomes light and able to lift it easily with one hand . When it is light again, step 3, add some mychorizae, trichoderma, and some Humic Fulvic acids.
Overwatering rots the roots hairs, enzymes are gonna eat and transform the dead cells into food for the plant , poking the soil will hopefully re-oxygenate the soil a bit faster , but you must let it dry just a bit too, then the mychorizae and trichoderma plus the Humic Fulvic will rebuild the roots system stronger .
Recovering time, about 4 weeks ☝️
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I let it dry out twice now before watering — 9 days, then 6. My blueberry cheese had similar issues but not as severe and has come around.
It’s really difficult to overwater in air pots. The nursery was out of perlite so I cut some of my soil with coco coir. I think it may have compacted and is holding water at the bottom.
I’m guessing that foliar spray on the leaves was a bad plan? I will leave it alone for a while unless you have some suggestions.
Yes , I was use to use Cannazym , but now , after testing it, I will recommend Cellmax Allzymes which is 4x times more efficient.
No drama if you don't have Trichoderma's , your root microbes , the Humic Fulvic and the mycorrhizae will do the jod
Yeah it looks like possible nitrogen deficiency. I've foliar sprayed guano/emulsion and had my leaves go from yellowed to emerald within an hour. It definitely looks like she'll turn around though. Best of luck
@MuffyGrows, Thanks! I started more plants than I needed in case my regulars were males. So if I lose one, it’s sad but not tragic. It’s looking better every day though
I’m excited for you to harvest! Just wait til you trim it. I chopped last night, and it smelled like a blueberry scented marker. I was skeptical before, but no longer!
Hi sis! 😍 I always put the fan(s) between the canopy and the lights, so a little breeze hit the babies while the most take away the heat from the lamps
