Grow Diary Blueberry Strain Seeds

In my grows, I almost always run two strains together - typically one indica and one sativa variety. In the first image, my indica (Blueberry) is on the left, and my sativa (Stardawg) is on the right.

I begin counting “days in veg” when I observe the first set of true leaves, and I also start tracking node development at that point. I typically top my plants above the fifth node and remove the first node, leaving four sets of branches that can be low-stress trained to manage height, increase stability, and improve light distribution. This has been my standard process over the last three grows (when I was growing autoflowers), and it worked well. However, for this run, I decided to not top my Blueberry
plants because they were lagging behind Stardawg by 1-2 nodes and I needed to act quickly in the interest of both strains.

While I topped my sativa plants on Day #10 of veg, I left my indica plants alone to form additional nodes. Regardless of the variety, I applied low stress training and adjusted it on a daily basis to manage height and increase light penetration and airflow.

I switched the light from 18/6 to 12/12 on Day #15 of veg, or 23 days post-emergence.

The second image was taken three days after the flip, so at this point, my Blueberry plants were beginning their transition into reproductive mode but it would be another four days before pistils were observed at stalk-node intersections.
