Hi everyone! This is going to be an action packed update! I hope, anyway. I checked the tent before lights out and saw the blueberries were more or less out of water in their cups so we've gone from 48 hours between waterings down to 36. So far they've been on a feed, water, feed, water schedule but this time I just gave them PH 6.3 water, calmag (1/2 strength), PPM 168. Each cup was dipped into my pitcher up to the air gap and placed back into their red solo cups.
The growth is simply stunning...I honestly don't have words for blueberry #1 and #2. These pictures are 18 hours after the last, and those pics are on this page, so I encourage you to scroll up and see the difference! Compared to the alaskan purple, it's incredibly refreshing to see this.
#3 has roots suddenly all over the air gap, but the top is quite small compared. If she's on track like #1 and #2, being a day late out of the soil, we should see some explosive growth in a few days. However, as I'm only keeping 2 of the 3 of these, #1 and #2 are clearly favorites.
Alaskan Purple Day 46
Every time I open the tent I'm greeted with berry scents and straight weed, and for the last week it's gotten stronger. My wife didn't believe me so I had her open the tent and she looked at me thinking I was hitting the cart pen. Nope, it's this tiny ass purple. It's wild how mature she smells but how small indeed she is.
Like I mentioned an update or two ago she seems to have found her stride and is really packing on the nodes. There's some extreme growth going on and honestly...I want to stop it. As weird as that sounds I really do want to flower this at the same time as the blueberries so I decided not to wait a couple days (it's been 18 hours...that's kind of like a couple, right?) to top her and just get on with it. If she stunts, fine. I've waited 46 days to this moment so what's some more while we're letting the blueberries get on with it.
I said last update I wanted to quadline and stripped the bottom two nodes. When I went in to top her and saw her development I decided to strip node #3, and top above node #5. So we'll now be working with nodes #4 and #5.
And that's it! I mainly throw out all this info so I have something to reference in the future if need be. I appreciate anyone and everyone sticking around and seeing this through with me!
