New Grower First Grow. Blueberry

[Supplanter]

I was also reading their website just now and noticed they seem to require all 3 GMB to be used at the same time.

I just gave it a half strength feeding of GMB + and full strength B-52 and Voodoo juice.
Hopefully it wont burn it.

I'm going to look for something to test my soil pH.

Germinating Purple Haze auto now.

I should mention I'm growing in pretty hot weather with high humidity, normally 30-35 Celsius in the room with the plants and I have a window open near them for fresh air.

I'm going to order a few seeds from attitude and I'll be looking for strains that have good pest and mold resistance.
I'm guessing it would be smart to avoid and XXL type strains to avoid bud-rot?

Thanks for the help guys. I Appreciate it.

Day 19 from sprout.
I gave the plant it's 2nd feeding today. 1.5 mL to 1 L of AN GMB and 2 mL of Voodoo Juice and 52. Fed it about 3/4's of that 1 litre as not to run off and I'll feed it the rest tomorrow.

I should mention this plant will get about 3-6 hours of sunlight every week. I put them outside when the maids come to clean my place.
It's 38 degrees Celsius today which is almost normal. It's normally get 34-37 degree weather year round except for November, December and February when it gets cooler.

Day 33
About 13 inches, pretty weak side branch growth.

Pretty disappointing so far but I see some white hairs starting to grow so I think I will have to start giving it Big Bud and Overdrive soon.

I'm not sure why the photos are showing sideways after I uploaded them.

Kept feeding it GMB, B-52 and a little Voodoo Juice.

My grow tent is coming in the mail in a week or 2 and I got myself some a few 10 litre smart pots for my next grow.

One major problem I have is finding soil in this country. The only soil available is too hot for my autoflower seeds and I burned some good seeds trying already. This ABB was lucky to survive germinating in that.

I looked around online and my only option is to pay $80 in shipping to get a bag of Plagron light mix or pay $75 to have Coco shipped to me from Thailand. Painfully expensive decision.

If your taking pics with your cell it's the orientation of your cell when taking pics... I have to have my volume up and down button facing down for min to work correctky

Do you have any greenhouses in your area? they should be a good source for soil, etc. I get my organic potting soil that way and I pay $3.00 for a 30 quart bag! This is not that crappy, bug infested sludge you get at Walmart or Home Depot either. This is a good quality, mild soil mix. I've grown nice plants in it without adding anything to it and works great when amended. Talk to greenhouse owners, they don't use Fox Farm etc.
Hell, I've though about buying a tractor-trailer load of the soil I use and selling it online!

Day 41
It's about 20 inches tall.
I left out in the sun all day while I was at work as I normally do on Fridays and I came home to find some bottom leafs going bad.
Some are turning yellow and brown rusty looking and also some leafs are curing and feel a bit dry where its curling.

I'm not sure whats wrong maybe heat stress? It was the normal 35 degrees Celsius today but maybe it couldn't handle the heat today?
The day before I added some extra soil on top because the soil looked like it was shrinking in the pot as time went by.
Also while it's under the LED lights I have a fan blowing on it all the time on low speed, will this cause it to dry out and kill my leafs like this?
Salt build up? I don't know if I was suppose to flush the soil out at some point but I have not yet.

Please help me.

Ok I think the problem is the roots can't get any air because the pot is bad, it only has 1 small drain hole in the middle underneath it.
I noticed this today when I tried flushing the soil and the water stayed plugged/ clogged.
I push my finger in the hole under the pot and some water came out slowly but I can still tell its pretty clogged and it has very bad drainage.
Can anyone advise me on if it would be a good choice to transplant it into a bigger smart pot that I have or keep it in this small flower pot that seems to be toxic?

 

[Supplanter]

I'm not sure if a transplant will kill the plant at this stage but would it be ok to cut out the whole bottom of the flower pot and place it in a bigger smart pot ? (2 Gallon)

In your photos, on the close-ups of the bottom leaves, is there water droplets on the leaves or are those little white specks?
It's normal for plants to shed the bottom older leaves the more days that pass in the life of the plant. Those leaves become inefficient and the plant directs resources to the leaves that get more light.
Does the water draining out of the bottom of the pot have a foul smell? You could drill holes in the side of the pots at the bottom edge. Just let the drill bit go barely through the plastic and not cut too many roots. .

IMO, it looks like a bit of heat stress, and those spots look like a phosphorus defeciency. Phosphorus is the P in NPK. Its unusual to have a P defiency so I would first suspect your PH is off
