Blueberry OG

It took a few days after transplanting the seedlings for them to take hold. It’s all systems go now though and they appear to be flourishing in their new environment. Just watering lightly every second day for now. (Approx. 300 Ml. Per pot)

The plants are off to a great start. I am encountering a bit of a gnat issue. Usually a sign of over watering. I assume the initial watering (1 liter per pot) was the culprit. I am using a couple of sticky strips and I have also sprayed with Neem oil. I will top the plants after they have grown 5 nodes before initiating flowering.

The Fab Four are doing well overall. Growth is steady and they are close to being topped. I will wait until they grow a fifth node, and then I will top above the third node. I added some organic molasses to the water a couple of days ago and will continue to do so on about a bi-weekly basis moving forward.

I topped these plants 5 days ago. They are looking healthy and strong. My gnat issue has been resolved. A combination of Neem oil, sticky strips and a small container of vinegar with a few drops of dish soap did the trick. Within the next week I will be changing the light schedule to 12 and 12 to trigger flowering.

The plants are looking very healthy and are growing like weeds. (Pun intended) I topped at the third node two weeks ago, and changed the light schedule to 12/12 at the first of this week. That with some LST should result in a nice full canopy. Gnats which were an issue previously are no longer present.

It has been about a week now since we flipped to flower. To help them along I administered a dose of the Power Bloom fertilizer yesterday. So far so good, lots of vegetative growth and developing bud sites.

I did some maintenance this week, pruning the branches on the lower third of the plants. The canopy is full and thriving. I will start adding some organic molasses to my rain water. Usually will do that once every couple of weeks.

So far this has been a worry free grow. I’m impressed with the canopy and how even they are growing. Usually I will get one or two that dwarf the others and hog the light. So far I have only fed the plants a couple of tablespoons of Power Bloom fertilizer per pot. I will give them a shot of organic molasses with their regular watering tomorrow.

I am surprised how quickly the pistols have turned color. We are probably still about a month from harvest if I follow the breeders estimate of 8-10 weeks of flowering. I am only watering once every 3 days and only about 2 cups per pot.

Maturing nicely and really showing their colours. Down to the final few weeks now.

The girls are looking and smelling fine. The blueberry odour is unmistakable. Starting to see some of the trichomes on the leaves turning amber. Harvest is on the horizon.

I will throw these girls into total darkness for a day now and then they will come down. Trichomes are turning amber, it’s time!

Just finished with a week of drying. 4 ounces of nice sticky buds. Of course we had to give it a try prior to curing. I am really impressed with both the taste and the buzz. It should be fabulous after curing for a few weeks. Always nice when something exceeds your expectations.
