i dont know if this is the right forum but since i dont have a grow journal it will have to do. move it or delete it if you need to.
i dont have any decent photos because after trying a ton of apps (android) i still cant get a decent picture.
if you know of an android app that will take decent closeups please let me know. it may be just my cheap phone.
i am 69 years young and didn't know anything about growing cannabis. i don't know much more now but i know exactly what not to do
i germinated 5 blueberry auto fem's and planted them on july 14 , 2020. this is an indoor grow using a small room in my cabin and three 1200, 600, 600 watt led grow lights.
i planted in the wrong soil, buckets way too small and used far too little nutrients until it was too late. the plants started to pre-flower when they were only about 8" tall.
a friend came over that has been growing for years and told me my soil was worthless and the buckets were too small.
so, with nothing to lose i filled some 3 gallon buckets with the same crap soil and transplanted all 5 plants.
my friend said to use 4x as much nutrients and i did. 2 of the plants took off like a rocket. the other 3 almost died. in fact i gave upon them.
they looked so bad that i decided to just move them outside into an area that gets 12 hrs of sun per day. i live in the mountains so the temps ranged from 50-82 most every day. all i did was water(with nutes) these outside plants when the top soil got dry and ck the ph.
ph on all my plants has stayed fine the whole time.
anyhow, the 2 inside plants (24 hour light cycle from day 1) shot up to 18" in just a few days and started to for real flower on day 38. i kept the nutes (mixed in the water) very high due to the crap soil. stayed on 24 hr light, kept a fan going 24/7 because inside temps got up to 92 some days.
these 2 indoor plants turned to flowers all over.
today is day 72 and indoor plant # 2 is about 24" tall. it has 70% or so amber trichomes and the main cola is about 8-9" long and very filled out. the other buds are thick and healthy looking also. the plant is covered with buds. this one plant will make enough bud for me to smoke for months
indoor plant #1 is , for some reason, at least 2 weeks behind #2 but it is also covered in bud.
i will harvest #2 tomorrow.
the other 3 plants :
left basically to their own devices, outside 24/7 (including one hail storm) the other 3 plants slowly came to life. i kept the nutes 4x what i was doing. the plants are now (day 72) from 16" to about 24" tall and covered in bud. they are 2-3 weeks away from harvest. we moved into fall weather about 10 days ago so i moved all 3 plants into a grow tent in my cabin with one 600 watt led grow light and a 3" exhaust fan. outside temps range from 40-65 every day.
the plants are doing very well.
the moral of the story is that "they don't call it weed for no reason"
when they tell you blueberry auto is easy to grow.......it's the truth.
you can do every possible thing wrong and most likely still get lots of bud
i took a sample of #2 four days ago and brown bagged it. i did a test smoke today and it is really good stuff. smooth as silk and STRONG.
i have 13 other plants and they are a story for another day
