The harvest for my first plant is all done and documented! Yea!! My Blueberry Muffin looks fabulous. Her buds are starting to get frosty and grow, grow, grow! She looks great, and she鈥檚 still doing a little bit of a stretch, but it鈥檚 slowing down some. She鈥檚 still way bigger than her tent mate (Blue Ox), but still way smaller than my first plant. I have a feeling that if she doesn鈥檛 produce a lot, it will be my fault since I haven鈥檛 been giving her as much care as she really needs. I鈥檓 going out of town for the holiday weekend, so maybe they鈥檙e used to going without long enough that there won鈥檛 be any issue. I鈥檒l keep my fingers crossed 馃just in case. In feeding, I鈥檓 sticking with the Mid-Bloom stage for at least another week, then maybe I鈥檒l adjust them some. Today I gave CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, and FloraBloom 15ml mixed into a gallon of water chilled to 42.2F. The initial pH was 6.6 and didn鈥檛 require adjustment. The TDS going in was 842 ppm. Runoff pH was 6.1 (better than the last time), and TDS runoff was 2548 ppm. We鈥檝e been having a heat wave here, so the temp is creeping up in the grow tent. Today it was 86F, and the humidity was 48%.

My Lady is looking lovely today! I can see by looking at her HST branches that she鈥檚 still into the stretch just a little bit because they have increased in height since the other day when I first made a mental note of how they were lying on the top of my support net. Today they are resting about 2 inches above it. Now that growth has been since I put her in the big tent with the net of course, so that was on the 30th just a few short days ago. Some of her leaves are showing some issues, but just on the side with the rotating fan. I鈥檓 wondering if it could be drying them out some, and not a deficiency because there are no other issues anywhere on the plant. The same goes for her tent mate, so by rule of deduction it has to be the fan. Maybe I鈥檒l lower the power a bit when I get back? I鈥檓 going to be gone for a few days and I don鈥檛 want them to get too hot in case the heat wave doesn鈥檛 let up. I received one of the new nutrient supplements I ordered and started using it today with the nutrients already in use. Today I fed a gallon of water from the tap. Due to time constraints I didn鈥檛 chill it. I fed CALiMAGic 5ml, FloraMicro 7.5ml, FloraBloom 15ml, and started Floralicious Plus 1ml. The initial pH was 6.3 and was not adjusted. The TDS going in was 1242 ppm. The runoff pH was 5.9, and TDS runoff was 2777 ppm. The tent temperature was 79F, and humidity was 53%. Hopefully the Liquid Kool Bloom will have arrived by the time I get back!
