Hello! :toke:

I got my garden back in the business now, starting with just a one plant and thought I will start up another one in upcoming weeks. My patient asked kindly to grow some more of the awesome, very effective medicine for her that best helps her pains. From all the varieties this one provides the best relief for her rather complex range of pains.

My setup is as follows:

Grow space:
60cm x 100cm x 200cm (DxWxH) = 0,6 m2

Lights:

HS1
GNTelos 0008

Reservoir:
Old GHE aeroponic system tank modified to be just DWC tank. I use 3" trays and 9.6 lpm airpump with 4 airstones.

Nutrient line-up:
Remo Nutrients (Micro, Grow, Bloom, MagNifiCal, VeloKelp, AstroFlower & Nature's Candy
Canna Cannazym (Enzymeproduct to help keep the roots clean)

Air movement:
Carbon filter and exaust fan (280m3/h)
Oscillating fan


DAY 03

pH 6.3
EC 0.3

VeloKelp 1,5ml per litre

DAY 16

pH 6.2
EC 0.74
RH 37
T 27,9 C


I've been away for a while due to being so damn busy always. Honestly I've gone against my own advice to check your plant every day as I've checked this one out just couple times this week. She is doing fine though; apart from having to fix low pH from 5.7 back up and she being confused with her roots everything is fine. Seems like we have some early maturing going on as she has always showed pistils. Pure speculation, but I think it is because I am having a 3" tray full of rockwool that is altering the gene expression by making her think she is root bound for a while. Not sure but I am interested to see if this is the case. Would be handy way for me to attempt to make selected plants complete faster.

Topview. Cupping is due to the low RH. It is very low at this time of the year and I don't do humidifiers at all. It will get better for her soon with the spring and all.

DAY 21

pH 6.0
EC 0.99
RH 41 %
T 29.2 C


First measurement of pH viewed a reading that shot over 9.0 pH. This was a case example of a electronic reading device gone bad, as I took the measurement with chemical set that showed around 6.0 ballpark. I diagnosed that the batteries of my probe was going bad, did a complete clean and calibration after installing new batteries and got a solid reading of 6.0 pH. Makes a whole lot more sense.

Plant has grown quite a bit and I really do like to see a decent nodal spacing, not too long, but not too tight either. It's just the kind of distance between nodes that I don't see any reason to do defoliation for now. I think that by now it is safe to say we have more gene activation happening from the blueberry side of genes on her, judging the way she is growing. This looks very promising indeed. Couple days ago I put in another HS1 so there are two now. I am still giving her a week or two with these before I move the whole DWC unit to my Telos -cabinet to finish. I just hope it won't get too hot in there for her. 30 C starts to be absolute maximum what I'd still expose her to while ideally id like it to stay between 26C to 28C. We'll see!
