This time the Durban had better side growth, it is the taller of the two
All of these plants are throwing hairs they are all mostly healthy. None are doing bud porn this week.
This concludes my update.
the two bigger girls and the 2 smaller girls… i added a space heater to my room today because the temps at ground level were 60-65 degrees and i saw a thrips running around on the bigger of the blueberries but after searching all the plants and not finding another i think maybe it was a straggler living in the cup… so i sprayed everything down thoroughly today and will spray again before lights out
I am still using ferments and top dressing and think i will continue. The nitrogen issue is corrected and i think i timed my phosphorous right but time will tell.
Well, not the biggest or the healthiest. They sort of got away from me with my no-till bed issues. They got a heavy nitrogen feed. Should have waited another week or so before switching to fermented fruit juices. The tall girl is the one I didn’t pollinate, so I’ll call her my entry
here they are. i measured my tallest one @Uncle_Al because i guess you see the tape measures and it was 10" lol but i’ve heard there’s less stretch under LED and I think my boards are also 4k. it’s been getting cold also (60* during day at floor) so i’ve added a heater
Party cup challenge week 7. These poor girls have been through my torture chamber and are still alive. Perlite and ferments set them back a week. Then I pulled N too quick, locked out pH, then followed by burning them a bit. I honestly can’t wait till they are done so I can focus on my no-till bed and perpetual workbench. On the bright side, there are seeds developing in the four I polinated.
The middle one is unpollinated and my official entry. The two on the left are Crystal Candy x (La Diva x Lowryder). The two on the right are “Double Diva” = La Diva x (Lowryder x La Diva).
my most vigorous c99 has shown itself as male as expected. i will probably remove it to a separate area to harvest the pollen for my freezer. the biggest blueberry i believe is starting to show male preflowers as well. the 2nd c99 i also think is going to be male. hopefully my last blueberry will be female. maybe there is some truth to what @ReikoX said about starting 12/12 before preflowers can result in more males.
i keep finding chunks of my leaves missing, something appears to be eating them?
