Blackberry Gum: very healthy plants! I've removed some large fan leaves to open up the canopy but nothing too extensive. Watered today with no feed π°
Banana Glue:. These weird little mutants still haven't shown any pistils yet, I guess they're still reaching maturity. I'm lollipopping them slowly as they grow due to space, I'm hoping that doing it gradually will reduce the stress levels πΌ
On the compost heap with the Blackberry Gum.. all 4 Hermed on me
πππ
Just 5x Banana Glue now.

Banana Glue is really taking off π they're loving the extra space!

I've spread out the Banana Glues to make use of the newly available space. All they've had this week is water and one dose of biosys ecothrive.
Couple of them are growing a bit weird with signs of variegation and some slightly droopy leaves but I think that's just genetic from all the chem lineage involved.
Keeping a keen eye out for Hermies after the BlackBerry Gum incident but so far so good πΌ

They seem to have stopped stretching now. They've stayed short like I intended when I flipped them to 12/12 after 2 weeks of veg.
Lots of pistils showing at flower sites πΌ
I have yellowing leaves from the bottom up. It resembles either N deficiency, MG deficiency or both.
Growing in soil.
PH is between 6.5-6.8.
Feeding 1ml/L fish mix and 3ml/L bio-bloom every other watering.
I tried adding cal-mag with N at 1ml/L and if anything it's got worse.
Hey there ghettosetup, I have good news for you growmie ! What youβre seeing is scenescense , thatβs the βnatural twilightβ of the plants life cycle. Think of it as the sun setting on the plant. This usually happens towards the end of the grow , some genetics do this you do everything right. So itβs a good sign, and it will look fantastic. No need to pluck the leafs or do anything . You did well, congrats ! Hope this helps ! π
It looks like we have joined this grow at the perfect time π€
We are super excited to see how our Blackberry Gum performs as you enter flower/bloom (12/12)π€
Good luck my friend π
Kind regards,
Seedstockers βοΈ
@GhettoSetUp, This is very unusual and something we can only apologise for π
With every Seedstockers strain brought to market we go through rigorous testing prior to release and we have a few grows online with Blackberry Gum with very few issues occurring.
Drop us a message and we will do our best to rectify this issue π
I'm so sorry about this π
Kind regards,
Seedstockers πΏοΈ
@LgrowCollective, thanks for your comment man! I've done a bit of research and I think I know what's going on. Blueberry strain is prone to hermaphroditism. Couple this with the way that feminised seeds are made (reversing females to males) and we have the perfect storm for hermy prone seeds.
I should really have looked into this beforehand instead of learning the hard way, lol.
@GhettoSetUp,gutted for you and confused as Iβve grown these(auto version) and some cracking genetics and decent harvest from both separate grows..check my diary on here,one on ig with Kannabia ginger punch auto and the other 3 one I snapped at seedling stage accident and 2 didnβt push tap out even tho cracked in paper towel..π± absolutely gutted you have had bad experience with these but I urge you to try them again and maybe explain to SeedStockers what went on,theyβre a decent company with lovely customer support ποΈ
@GhettoSetUp,ecothrive are the dogs..Iβve just started a grow with their life-cycle and been using the biosys since last run π― recommended @ecothrive π―πποΈ
@Med_in_Tropic, that's right mate, a microbial tea essentially. There's a good product called biosys ecothrive that's designed for this purpose but I have also had success using cheaper general gardening mycorrhizae mixes!
It's a real sin for the BlackBerry Gum, it has the potential to be really fantastic! I'm curious to see what will be released from the Banana Glue, I took a look at her gene tree and looks amazing! I didn't know the Grower Choice Seeds and I must say that it offers many interesting varieties
@GhettoSetUp, Experience is always the best teacher π And all of us at least once tried to put too many plants together hoping to have as much weed as possible π€£
@HirdoWeirdo, thanks for your comment! I was disappointed about the BlackBerry Gum but I'm over it now, it was probably a blessing in disguise.
Looking at the banana glue in flower with it's many phenotypes I think I would have struggled for space with 9 plants.
I've learned an important lesson about planning my grow better and using stable strains π
People who like "fear and loathing" are trustworthy people in my opinion!!!
Enjoy the fruits of your labor!!

They make HPS glasses, for looking at your plants. I've heard of people using them as a filter for your camera. I've seen pictures through them, and they are not bad. I'm sure it takes time to figure it out, holding a pair of shades and your phone at the same time. But I believe it works. You can always shut the light off. I take pictures of my plants at night most of the time with no problems. But I'm sure there are people who will tell you not too. Good luck with the new light. HPS always makes great buds. π€
