Funny little fellas. They keep running into my hands and then get scared :)
The question on my mind is how do they survived all the neem and stuff.

Going well. All of them started to get deficient except PAK #3. I started full dose feeding. Bat guano ferment, banana peel ferment, alg-a-mic, fish-mix i had left. Also some aminos and epsom weekly.

Blueberry #1 threw a nanner, plucked it, keeping an eye on it. Some pollination may have occured at the top it popped out of or this thing is too tall i keep smashing the top to various places when i’m trying to get it out of tent and thats whats causing the browning of the pistil. I’ll know soon enough.. would be shame if i have to cull it. Great smell and very good bud formation.

Blueberry #2 is a stout one but it too has great smell and very lovely compact buds. No problems for now. Just a little N deficiency.

Blueberry #3 is a keeper i think. The colour of it is just amazing and not cold induced at all. It is low on nitrogen but not to the point of deficiency imo. Smell is very nice and its covered with pistils.

PAK #1 is still deficient. The tops are yellow. The veins are not much greener either. After the 2nd feeding yesterday it looks a bit better. It is just hunger i think.

PAK #2 is also showing some minor deficiencies but i’m sure it’ll be ok with a full feed schedule.

PAK #3 is the only one without any deficiencies. It is actually at the border of N toxicity.

Bud formations and smell on all 3 seems good and i think they’ll be good smoke.

The yellow ruler is 60cm long. Thats about 24 inches. The blueberry #1 is about 110cm which is 3.6 feet.

Blueberry #1 has been culled yesterday. Too many nanners. Didn’t want to risk it that much. Will give another go from clone, in the tent alone. I’m 99.9% sure it is genetic but it smelled so fine that i want to explore the 0.1%.

On the lighter side, here is mulching.


Just gave a top dressing (castings and “house mix”) to blueberry #3 and pak #1. Will do the others. It was getting close to lights off :).

Here is my new canopy. Still getting deficiencies but its getting better and after top dressing it should clear up. I underestimated the appetite of them or overestimated soils capacity to sustain them. Either case it’ll work out in the end :D It was the same with dinachem last grow and it turned up pretty smooth and dense.

I’m voting for light stress on this one but share your thoughts too. I fed full strenght nutes and paks got better but this one keeps showing this mag and nitrogen def symptoms. No matter what i add. Checked the ph even. It was fine. So i am lost.

It looks like mag and mg, mn, iron or some shit like that but no matter what i do it just doesn’t get better. The yellowest parts are getting the highest intensity light. The leaves sheltered by these are fine and green. Shaded ones i mean.

Well anyway, i just moved back to phase 2 and turned off the veg bar. Which i was gonna do anyway but in the last 2-3 weeks. Tops were getting 60K now getting 40K lux. Most likely i didn’t catch up with the high ppfd values feeding-wise or this one doesn’t like blasting sun that much.

Thats my theory, love to hear yours.

Pics of the bud development of the gals and i just transplanted the Blueberry #2 into a 5 gal. I think with this much light intensity 2 gal was not providing a balanced and sustaining diet. Transplanting was on my mind as i know in organics more medium is always better but i just thought maybe i can manage since i’m not after yields. Seeing the pink blueberry tho, i want as much as i can get from that :D its my first genetically purple plant. Its always exiciting.

I may fire up the 3rd bar if i see real improvement in a week. After that it will be too late imo. But again 40K at the tops and 15K at the lowest shaded buds are not bad either.

Next time will be a pollen chucking run so they will be in 1-2 litre pots. I just want to have a backup if i ever lose my clones. After that it will be 4 plants in the whole 4x4 with living mulch and about 7 gallon sips. In that setup i think 60K will be juuust right.

Hahahha. A little calculation just confirmed my suspicions. It seems the tops that were getting 65-70K lux were getting 1000 umol/s which correponds to 43 moles per day. Which is just overkill in any case. I can probably get away with a 8 hr photoperiod using the same intensity. Which would roughly correspond to 28 moles per day. Hmmm, gonna start a thread on it.

Bro nothing solves this. No need for them to get mn def because they have been getting good compost along with a full schedule feeding of kelp extract, fish mix and bloom i had left with from prior grows. Keeps spreading.

I defoliated a good amount of leaves. The humidity was getting around 65 and thats mildew territory for me. Not good. I took all the damaged leaves and also the old ones. Schwazzing what its called i guess. Well anyway, impulsive guy over here :)

They are coming along nicely. This stuff with the blueberry was a deficiency i guess. Eventho it was getting good amount of feeding the medium was just too small for it. Nah, small pots are not for me. I don’t like to micro manage my plants. Just good soil and lots of it.
