  1. Fed the girls today with a slightly higher dosage than usual want to see their reactions. I clipped the two ugly leaves on the NL as they weren't doing anything for the plant and am attempting to LST her once more. First one seemed a little strange (think I did it wrong) but worth another shot. I made sure all her leaves were on top of the pot this time as I believe that's why the others weren't looking to healthy, they were kinda hidden. Growth on all plants are looking great BB responded quite well to the first top and will be getting topped again in the next couple days. BBerry is beginning to split and will have a small wire placed between the two new shoots to help open her when they grow a little more she needs to catch up to her sisters. I also noticed she clearly has strange genetics as her leaves are growing strange but I've read those usually become the strongest plants in the end. CBD God broke surface today hoping she will fly through the process so I can flip them all at the same time.

  2. Have had a few issues with the NL recently with leaves browning but I called the local hydro store today and he said it’s probably a PH issue so I am now shooting for a 6.0 PH. All the girls have been showing quite a bit of growth I’ve been using string to spread the leaves apart so the ones underneath can get more light and it’s working quite well. Looked at the feeding schedule that I probably should’ve been following the whole time for RO and realized I’ve been giving them about 1/8 dose instead of 1/4 so I’ve upped it and hopefully they’ll start growing much quicker. I want to flip sometime soon but don’t feel like I’ll get anything out of them at there current stage how much longer should I shoot to wait for?[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

  3. I can't give you a length of time but if I were you, I'd wait till they were a little bigger before I flipped. I can't remember how long it took for my plants. I know I had them under CFL's for a while before I got my Metal Halide. They were under the MH for a month. I let my plants get almost 2 feet tall before I flipped. They are now 40" tall after the stretch.
     
  4. I think I’m going to shoot for around two more weeks. I’m going to be LSTing through flower to restrict height. Kinda upset all three of the plants aren’t the same height though but I guess that’s just the genetics of the Blueberry.

  5. I’m looking around 2 more weeks. The LST should help them get bushy instead of tall but thank you you. I’m just doing what I can to make sure they produce properly.

  6. Been working on training the girls. I finally got some wire to assist with it he original idea with paperclips and string wasn’t working. The wire is much better. Finally got PH right and the girls are feeling much better. Not sure if I have mentioned it yet but I moved the NL to a larger pot because she was drying out before I got home from work. Let me know what y’all think and any more help is appreciated. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

  7. So they have all been doing quite well. But the NL is still having an issue. I’m feeding them all the same and she’s the only one reacting this way. She having no issues except that one fan leaf turns yellow and browns. But it’s only a single leaf and I am so confused by it. Any suggestions?

  8. That's a phosphorous defficiency
     
  9. I let it dry out between each watering. Went to local hydro store they said it’s PH issues so I have purchased a BlueLab Ph testing pen. I’ll ride this for a few days and see if properly PHing fixes the issue if not I will move onto tweaking with deficiencies.

  10. Thats not ph issue this is a ph fluctuation[​IMG] i have my ladies in peat moss which is in between 5-6ph while i was watering with straight 7ph it gives a golden metalic tint to your leaves. If the rest of you plant aint doing nothing else it could of been a problem but was fixed as the other leaves are fine but if that leaf was already turning then itll keep turning till it dies. Ill agree with previous comments tho looks like phosphorus deficiency
    Also here are the ladies now [​IMG]

  11. I feel it just be a phosphorous deficiency due to lockout. I now have a BlueLab pen to correct the PH problem. Hopefully that will fix the deficiency issue as well. I’ll keep y’all updated. Thank you for the help.
