Bit of a mess last week, I had to cut the 4 blackberry gums as they all hermed going into flower ๐ฉ
I spread out the Banana Glue to give them more space for the end of their stretch. They seemed to spread out wider rather than grow taller ๐ฑ
I have been giving them only water for the last week as they don't seem at all hungry - a couple of the plants take twice as long to drink the pot dry compared to the others ๐ฐ
Slight MG deficiency on one plant but I stopped it in its tracks with Epsom salts!

I can't lie these banana glues are some strange plants. They just don't seem hungry. 10 days since last nutrient feed and they're still looking like they've had enough N. I gave them some more Biosys ecothrive today and that's all.
I'm basically waiting for them to look hungry before giving them any flower nutes. Even though bio-bloom has low N I don't want to overdose them ๐ฑ
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 youโre seeing is scenescense , thatโs the โnatural twilightโ 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 itโs a good sign, and it will look fantastic. No need to pluck the leafs or do anything . You did well, congrats ! Hope this helps ! ๐
It looks like we have joined this grow at the perfect time ๐ค
We are super excited to see how our Blackberry Gum performs as you enter flower/bloom (12/12)๐ค
Good luck my friend ๐
Kind regards,

@GhettoSetUp, This is very unusual and something we can only apologise for ๐
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 ๐
I'm so sorry about this ๐
Kind regards,
Seedstockers ๐ฟ๏ธ
@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 Iโve 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 didnโt push tap out even tho cracked in paper towel..๐ฑ 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,theyโre a decent company with lovely customer support ๐๏ธ
@GhettoSetUp,ecothrive are the dogs..Iโve just started a grow with their life-cycle and been using the biosys since last run ๐ฏ recommended @ecothrive ๐ฏ๐๐๏ธ
@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 ๐ And all of us at least once tried to put too many plants together hoping to have as much weed as possible ๐คฃ
@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 ๐
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. ๐ค
