Blueberry Bliss (first grow)

aRecreationalist First week: germination went faster than expected, so didn't have grow lights ready in time. All a bit unsure about watering schedule and nutes, so keeping watering very low and localized around the stem. Could use comments and advice 😎

aRecreationalist - Growth is coming along, but slowly. - Still problems with old leaves, hoping the new ones will come in better (is it nutrient problems?) - Preparing a little DIY carbon filter - Humidity "problems". might be from building the box out of wood, which absorbs some moisture.

aRecreationalist So this week have been a roller coaster. Early in the week I accidentally knocked over the pot, and the entire plant fell out and got covered in dirt. Managed to brush her off and replant, but she collapsed very quickly and I thought I was screwed. But around 1-2 hours after, she had recovered fully. 😅 Spotted what could be early signs of Nitrogen deficiency 😕 Haven't been a lot of growth this week. I'm afraid the little incident, and the very low soil pH, have my growth stunted a lot. So decided to make a new pot, with the same strain, and fix the pH before planting (with CalMag). So I'm adding a 2. diary for that in a bit, and will be able to follow the influence (somewhat) this has.

aRecreationalist So it seems like she pulled through. she's not the biggest, but she's mine :) The first set of leaves still looks a little yellow, but the new growth looks great! Bought some new lights, Roleadro 300W LED (dimmable), just waiting for the delivery! :D

aRecreationalist - Added a bowl of water near the intake fan, helped raise the average humidity to 37% - Reworked my DIY active carbon filter, changed the 12V pc fan for a bathroom humidity ventilator. Hope this helps on smells 😅 - New lights are raising temperature a bit, maybe too much. Hoping new ventilator helps a bit (can also keep window opened more now, it's getting warmer!) 😎 - Buds are growing, but seeing some new growth in the bottom of the main stem. Not sure if it should be pruned, any advice here? - Added my old CFL for some ekstra light on the lower buds :) Oh, and did some research on the strain, to troubleshoot, and found out it was rated "Veteran (Medium/Advanced)". Great choice for first grow 😅

aRecreationalist Noticed a hell of a lot of drooping this morning, and during the day on the cam. So hurried home and found the pot really, really light. She's getting hungry! Mixed a quick batch of nutes and gave her 500ml, wish i could get more to stick in the soil but the pot is way too small, still wondering if a transplant might be so bad? Anyway, also added a fan today, circulation fan, and within 30 minutes she was reaching for the light. More than ever before really, so had to move the light up and have realized that my grow room is way to short. If I get a decent growing plant in there it will be with 20cm of my LED's before veg is over. So guess im going tent shopping (maybe gorilla 2 x 2.5?). Anyway, she's budding up nicely, hope to see maybe 5-10g? Help! 😓 She looked so good just a day ago, what's going on? - Update: Did some extensive googling, and think it might be a Nitrogen Tox problem. Checked the NPK of my nutes, and Biobizz grow seems like it could be the sinner here. With the ratios I have been feeding my NPK would have been around 28-26-18. So next watering will be with pure H20 and a lot more run off than normally, will see if I can avoid a full flush. Not sure if there's a lack of calmag as well though :/

aRecreationalist Been waiting for my Cal-Mag to arrive all weekend, finally got it today monday. So will do the first feed with it today. The leaves symptoms are still getting more visible, also the leaf stems are quite red. But not sure if this is a strain thing? Buds are there, but filling slowly and no real trichomes visible yet. But still early in flowering :) No idea how much this will net dry, but thinking 1-3g maybe? Again not sure if I should continue with Biobizz Grow nutes, as their schedule has it added all the way until flush. But maybe this is a N sensitive strain, and I shouldn't. Anyway, germinating my next grow. Make sure to give it a follow and comments :)

aRecreationalist She's getting closer! 😎 According the the breeder it should be around 10 weeks from seed to harvest. So got at least one more week before changing to pure water. Considering it's my first grow, and it's in (roughly) a 2liter pot, I think she came out alright. Oh, and I'm going for a more euphoric high with this. So should I flush early?

aRecreationalist So..so close, she's starting to swell up nice and the trichomes are getting a lot more cloudy. Don't have a microscope, but can zoom enough on the original pictures to see them individually and the ones on the leaves haven't turned amber at all yet. So I'm guessing the 10 week estimate from Vision is going to fit perfectly. Just gave a feed today, and she's dry pretty steadily every other day. So thinking 1-2 more feeds and then switch to water only, since I'm looking for an active high and don't want to much CBN in there. 😎 Have any of you other growers experienced allergy symptoms with just female plants? Can't say it with certainty, but just had her out for a photo shoot and could feel my nose starting to itch 😞

aRecreationalist Getting very, very close now! Been checking her daily, with a cheap little 5€ magnifying glass. Started a flush a bit soon so added a few nutes to this watering, but might just let her dry out now and then check if she's done. Im looking for

aRecreationalist It's hard to talk about the grow, since it was my first and I made some early beginner mistakes. But getting 100g, wet, from a first grow is pretty decent I'd say. 😏 Ps: will update this after drying and curing, so I can give a smoke report, and update weight to dry. First grow, had my worries and lots of fun with it. Second plant already growing well (different strain). Started her out on a low 85watt CFL bulb and upgraded to a 200w LED Roleadro light. Got a lot of good feedback, which helped me out of some trouble with CalMag and nutrient lockout issue (which might have stunted her early on). Thanks for the help GD 😎 Oh, got a bit of trims and very small buds leftover. Put them in the freezer for now, might make some cannabutter when my next grow is harvested 😁0
