🌿 Week 2 – Letting the BlueBerry Be Grower’s Journal – BlueBerry by Zamnesia Seeds | Entry 003 Welcome back to the garden! This week has been about giving our BlueBerry girls the space to grow naturally and peacefully, while also fine-tuning our environment and nutrition to meet their evolving needs. ⸻ Genetics – BlueBerry by Zamnesia This is a classic cultivar with a rich lineage—sweet, fruity terpenes, beautiful color potential in late flower, and a solid structure for training later on. So far, the genetics are showing true: strong early growth, symmetrical nodes, and a steady pace that feels deeply rooted and reliable. ⸻ ☀️ Ambient Conditions – Slightly Warmer, Still Loving • Temperature: ~28°C (a bit higher than ideal, but within tolerance) • Humidity: 65–70% • CO₂: ~450 ppm (natural baseline) • Air Movement: Constant and gentle • Lighting: Black Series 600 LED from Future of Grow – full spectrum with dialed-down intensity for early veg 📈 While the temperatures are running slightly warmer this week, the plants are adapting well. Leaf posture is upright, no signs of stress, just healthy, vibrant growth. We’re keeping airflow strong and consistent to help balance the conditions. ⸻ 💧 Watering Method – Bottom-Up, Still Intentional We’re continuing with bottom-watering via the trays, allowing the soil to absorb moisture capillary-style. This method: • Prevents overwatering • Trains roots to grow downward • Keeps surface soil drier (reducing pest and fungal risk) • Builds stronger root architecture We’re also allowing gentle dry-backs between waterings to encourage air exchange in the root zone. ⸻ Updated Nutrient Formula – Aptus Week 2 Mix This week, our girls graduated to a new feeding mix, keeping things light but more complete: 🌿 Aptus Regulator – 0.15 ml/L • Strengthens plant cell walls • Increases resistance to heat (great timing with higher temps) • Improves nutrient absorption Aptus All-in-One Liquid – 1 ml/L • A full-spectrum nutrient solution with NPK + trace minerals • Provides balanced base nutrition • Keeps the feed simple but complete at this stage 🌱 Aptus Start Booster – 0.25 ml/L • Continues to support rooting • Promotes microbial activity in the rhizosphere • Perfect for the final stretch before transplant This balanced combo helps maintain early vigor while gently nudging the plants toward stronger structural growth. No stress, no excess, just calibrated support. ⸻ 🌱 Growth Update – Week 2 Snapshot • Seedlings are now working on their third pair of true leaves • Strong root activity evident from bottom-watering response • Beautiful green tones, no deficiencies • Internodal spacing is tight and compact—light spectrum doing its job well We’re holding off on transplanting and training until next week. This week is still a “let them be” kind of moment, observe, care, adjust gently. ⸻ 🔮 Looking Ahead – What’s Coming Next week we will: • Transplant into larger pots • Possibly start pheno selection if one seedling is lagging behind • Reassess the feed recipe post-transplant • Begin thinking about early LST if structure allows ⸻ What We’re NOT Doing Yet • No topping • No aggressive feeding • No stressing the plants in any way We’re keeping things simple, clean, and mindful, honoring this sensitive phase. ⸻ 🎥 Series Update – YouTube & GrowDiaries This is part of our new educational grow series, documenting every detail with love and clarity.
