9-6-2023 Week 8 has started. The smell is very weak, if I touch the buds it smells like pine. I noticed some of the leaves turning orange with orange spots, my pH is solid 6.9 so I'm not sure. So far so good!! 9-8-2023 I went to water her this afternoon and BAM like a slap in the face she had a very pungent smell coming off her. I'd say she went from no smell to strong smell in a few days

Hey all, Its been a few weeks so lets take a peak at our Blueberry manifold. Last time we topped our girl down to the 3rd node and removed all other growth except the two growth tip and their fan leaves. Over the past two weeks shes continued to grow an addition four pairs of leaves on each arm. This wee we will cut those branches back to the 3rd node and then clean all other growth from the plant except what remains on the 1st and 3rd node of each side. This should give us 8 main colas that will grow up from these eight remaining growth tips. Continuing to feed as normal while trying to get the soil PH up to a proper level.

Another great week here. Defoliated the girls throughout the week. Continue to do well and very healthy. They drink a good amount but nothing crazy. The frost is unreal! It's even on the fan leaves! I have a picture that shows the frost on the fan leaves. I can't believe the smells as well from these ladies! Cherry smells are strong! I love smelling the plants and my fingers when I defoliate the leaves. Watering daily or every other day. Also adding water to to self watering pots as needed. Starting to use the UVB today!! 🤞😎 Gonna start now at 30 minutes a day for a few days. Then slowly increase as we move forward. They already have a lot of trichomes, as you can see, and I'll look to increase those. I plan on harvesting these girls at week 8 to save the terps as much as possible. Let's go!

9 plants, 5 different strains, 3 different seed banks. So yeah, some background info.. I was going to go 6 girls in 15l pots at first for even distribution but fucked up the germination process sticking them seeds eagerly straight to soil and some didn't germinate and some took almost two weeks to push above soil so I popped a few more and here we are. Oldest ones are about 6-7weeks old and the rest are around 3-4weeks.. not sure about exact days since I wasn't planning on running a diary but then again figured it could be helpful IF(when) running into problems. Been mainlining/topping/defoliating/binding when necessary to keep them at pretty much the same height before flipping the switch. First photos shown here are from the last session of high stress training.. now we're just playing the waiting game for them to recover and then it's off to flowering time baby! This week is the first time dem bitches have been getting the full recommended dosage of Bio-Bizz nutrients I still have available (bought the "try-pack" for best bang for buck.) Gonna run out of root-juice and bio-heaven after next watering but think that's ay-ok since we're going to flowering anyways and in the last grows haven't really seen any notable difference using the insanely expensive bio-heaven. Fucked up topping few plants taking "wrong" nodes being way too drunk but we'll see how it goes. Also start of this week is the first day I hanged Viparspectra V900 to accompany Mars Hydro TSW-2000 which has done an amazing job so far!😍😍 Using only the blue grow spectrum on the V900 for the recovery since I know from experience the bloom mode runs hot as fuck and I still need to figure out how to improve the airflow in the cabin without ruining good nights sleep. Day 3: After last trimming session Girls are recovering quite nicely. Watered today and just like I suspected ran out of root-juice and bio-heaven, the runtier Sunset Sherbet didn't get to taste any of that sweet sweet nectar:( Everyone took about the same amount of water (2l) with pretty much no runoff so boy were they thirsty. SS runt was having a little bit of trouble drinking since the soil was way too dry and had become a bit hydrophobic but with patience took it all like a champ. Had to remove some of the bindings to avoid snapping the stems but looks like they're still at pretty even height. OG Kush has a trunk thicker than my thumb already although she's less than 20cm high! Ditched the tower fan from taking up too much space and replaced it with Garden Highpro oscillating clip-fan which is like a frigging hurricane even at lvl1! Lets see how it affects the temps which are quite high after adding the Viparspectra: topping at almost 30c during the last hours of day and I'm not even using the red blooming leds yet!😐 Still giving them the full 4ml/l of bio-grow every feeding but I'm thinking about cutting it back a bit since ran out of the snakeoils and not sure yet does that affect the uptake in a bad manner. Been also foliar feeding them w/ bio-grow every second day with 1-1.25ml/l to keep the humidity at around 60-70% all times and they seem to like it, leaves are nice dark green colored. Realized just how tightly packed the tent will be so I'm going to put them into flowering as soon as they have at least 2-3 healthy nodes per branch so guessing at around start of the next week. Probably going to defoliate most of the leaf mass day before flipping the switch.. might even get excited enough to try schwazzing 1-2 plants since I've never tried that technique before and I really need to promote some airflow. Day 4: Well that lasted long.. The fan cut its lead wires loose while oscillating because the cable clamps were set too tight straight out of the package, not giving it enough slack to turn full cycle.. Goddamn it.. Seems like an easy fix but got no time to start tinkering before going to work so I'll get it replaced by tomorrow and hope I wont get a dud made on mondays. Cranked up the inline duct fan a bit to compensate the loss of airflow and temps are staying in the 28C range but there's definitely some hotspots forming.. hopefully that leads to nothing too serious.

Taking a heavy heat wave in my area... so my girls are beeing cooked alive I hate to see them like this... I already added more CO2 to help them compensate a bit. Well the clones are beeing flushed for almost 5 days now in 4-6 days im gonna put them into 48 h darkness and harvest wish me the best =) Trichomes are looking evenly brownish all over the plants now just like I love them :P Also trying out the Clean fruits for flushing will see what it can do for me=)

7/20 Went over this morning to plants soaking wet and heavy rain. Went back around 4pm and plants actually look really good. The rain has stopped for a bit and the girls looked great. Apart from some septoria leaves I needed to defoliate on the first plant I treated. I also noticed a few others on other plants so it's spreading albeit slowly. I treated the three in the middle with their second dose of Plant Doctor at 3tsp/1gal. One gallon administered to each plant via root drench. I think I may treat the other plant showing signs with a diy Dr. Zymes using citric acid as the active ingredient. That way I Gould start treatment right away without having to rely fully on plant doctor. Plus it would kill any pests. Ive seen damage but the birds do a number on them. I dont want to spray my plants with a bunch of chemicals if I don't have too. I shouldve replaced the pallets and cleaned the cage better. I think I did a good job sanitizing as I have no wpm. Just this septoria I probably got when the lady mowing the lawn cut all tjis fucking grass and blew it in my pen, throwing bird seed and I'm sure tons of disease into my grow bags. I literally had to harvest a bunch if fucking sunflowers. It looked like my plants had been mulched. Just with small disease carrying shrubs. At some point some of this stuff has to be on purpose. You CAN'T be that stupid. A couple kushes in the back look hungry. I think I may need to up my feed. I've written to much. I'll keep this updated. Thanks if you made it this far. 7/21 I guess it rained last night. Oh well. It was blue skies for hours before dark. It must've rained late/early morning. I'm sure the app of plant doctor will be fine. Like I said I'm considering using citric acid as a foliar spray to help with the septoria and clean up any pests. I don't have enough pests to warrant spraying. I just don't want to put all my eggs in the plant doctor basket. Today is overcast and windy. The wind has really assisted in spreading this virus. I remove anything I see infected immediately and since these plants are reveges they have plenty of leaves. Plants are really stretching. I know I talk about the septoria a lot but realistically if someone looked through my garden they'd have a hard time spotting it. I don't want to exaggerate the problem but I don't like dealing with ANY fungus or molds. 7/22 It was 55° this morning when I went over. I defoliated some septoria leaves and a few that were fading or damaged. I saw almost a whole leaf eaten so it's probably a good idea to move forward with citric acid. I can add that to the plants I've already treated with plant doctor. This is the first year it's been so noticeable. It's the reveg 10th planet that started this off. Oh well. I've dealt with MUCH worse. Plants LOOK good (other than septoria leaves (on bottom of plant). Today is water day for me but it's been raining and it's a lot cooler today. Bags still had weight to them. I want them to have a proper wet dry cycle. Temps top out at 75° so I'll monitor during the day and if something NEEDS WATER I'll give it to it. I'm suprised I have ZERO WPM. The septoria is much more identifiable but pm is usual present in these conditions bur I don't have a spot of it. I may do some defoliation today. I also need to add supports for flowering but one thing at a time. EDIT: Went over around noon. 70°. Bags seem to be holding weight (it was easier to tell as ONE plant was substantially lighter than the rest) so I decided to hold off on watering. At least until tonight. There are three plants (at least that are going to NEED water). They look phenomenal now though and we've had lots of rain. Plan is to go over later and get the light ones and mix the water for the others so I can administer it in the morning quickly. I have an early doctor's appointment but I don't to overwater or water unnecessarily just because. But when you grow alone sometimes you need to do things when your able. I have people there that would help if I asked. And I have before but its late . I'm very grateful. I defoliated quite a few septoria leaves. They were all from the bottom of the plant. A couole wete bottom interior. I know there are worse things to contend with but still a pain. EDIT #2 WENT BACK AT FOUR AND PLANTS LOOKED FANTASTIC AND STILL HELD WEIGHT. THE REVEG MK ULTRA IN EARLY FLOWER "MAY" HAVE STARTED TO DROOP AND "SEEMED" LIGHT. THE LARGE SPECIAL KUSH FUETHEST IN FLOWER BY THE DOOR WAS ALSO EXRRENELY LIGHT. I HAVE AN EARLY DOCTORS APPOINTMENT BUT DONT WANT TO OVER WATER MY PLANTS JUST BECAUSE IM IN A HURRY. ITS COOLER THIS WEEK. 70 TODAY AND HIGH OF 80 TOMORROW BUT DAD SAID THATS NOT UNTIL THE AFTERNOON. I MIXED UP ENOUGH WATER TO WATER EVERYTHING IN THE MORNING IF IT NEEDS IT. I HAVE AN IMPORTANT DOCTORS APPOINTMENT EARLY THAT WILL TAKE ME AWAY AND IM FEELING A LITTLE ILL SO I WANTED TO GET DONE WHAT I COULD TODAY. WATERED THE TWO THAT NEEDED IT WITH TWO GALLONS A PIECE (30GAL REVEG MK ULTRA AND THE BIG SPECIAL KUSH IN FRONT I DIDNT TOP THATS FLOWERING THE FASTEST. EVERYTHING ELSE CAN WAIT. 7/24 Surprisingly the plants still held weight this morning! The looked pretty good too! However its going to be highs in the 80's for the next 7 days. Since the plants still had some heft to them I watered everything just a gallon. I gave the 10s a half gallon and skipped the 50gal container plant. I think this is a good happy medium. I'm still seeing random septoria leaves but still no WPM. I defoliate daily sometimes a couple times. I need to get a minute to myself and add a foliar spray. I'll start with a dih Dr. Zymes while I'm looking into other products like bicilus (i have bt but its a different bicilus) or trichodermia. I need to feed sometime this week too. 7/25 Plants looked great this morning. I watered the 10th planet on the end that hadn't been watered in forever. I think I had been overwatering during those 100° days. I didn't water today as everything looks great and they don't seem to need it. I'll check later today. I did water the pink kush beside the 50 as it was much lighter (1/2 gal) to get it on par with the others. I'm starting to see pest damage as well so I think an app of Dr. Zymes would be a good idea. Both for pests and septoria. Plants are REALLY stretching. One special Kush is far ahead of the others.

Final veg day today, still watering straight water with Pro-TeKt (twice this week, 3 since I last fed) & the run off PPMs oddly keep rising at the pH drops was hoping to kick into the AgroThrive flower formula next water but I many hold off another time average run off PPM is 2768, I don't know if this rise is an organic thing but the plants look generally good to me. Trimmed more & added one more LST clip this week.

Here we are in week six of flower and not a lot has happen this week other than the usual watering and letting her do her thing. Only trouble this week was updating GoPro had to try a few times. Other than that we got some rain in my home town and collected about 60 gallons that I'm going to use to finish the rest of the grow. Also, got my new AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T4, Quiet Inline Duct Fan System with Temperature and Humidity Controller, 4-Inch. I was really hoping this two plants would finish before the year ended, however, it looks like they got others plans. See you guys next week.

📆 12/7 - Start of the 5th week! - Whole lot pistils sticking from the nodes & plant is taking noticeable grow spurts. Pre-flowering/stretch phase is about to start. - 12/5 Changed the reservoir water and made a new N&K boosted patch: - 0.95ml/l Micro & Bloom - 1.75ml/l Grow - 1.9ml/l Terpinator - 1.2ml/l Fulvic/Diamond Nectar - 0.5ml/l Hydroguard * Beneficials and some bloom boosters included — Ending EC: 1.6 / TDS: 810ppm — pH adjusted down to 5.6 (letting drift up to 6.2 for full pH scale absorption) 12/6-12/7 overnight water level dropped & she drank like 1.5L / topped with weak nute solution. 📆 12/8 started a Negative DIF testing. DIF meaning difference between day and night temp. Usually DIF is positive when day temperature is greater than night, which is naturally. But by manipulating your DIF in negative (Warmer night temps than day temp) we do reduce 30% of stem elongation AKA stretch. — Negative DIF in hydro growing can greatly impact in yields if the stretch being controlled right way. • 12/9 - 2nd uppest new shoot length: 3cm / 1.2" (new measurement @ 12/10 night) 📆 12/9 - Topped res with 3ml Terpinator, 1ml Bloom & 1ml HG. - EC topped to 1.8 (1.6 was starting)
