These babies are part of my Festivus 2020 prize. Dinafem was absolutely amazing, and so I am giving their seeds prime space in my grow area, so we can see what they can do. I'm so excited about the blueberry genetics. Dinafem was the very first seed I ever grew/ordered, and I can't WAIT to see how far they've come since that stellar little 'roadrunner #2'
The following pages are a week by week update on how the girls are doing. I am placing both plants in the same journal, because they are exactly the same age, and they are the same plant.

General Photoperiod Feeding Schedule (complete)

For vegetation, I treat them the same as I do the autos.. Start out with base grow nutes ( I use Sensi) @ 1/8-1/4 strength, and slowly increase over the first couple of weeks, until you are feeding at full strength. Interspace base nute feeds with cal mag/trinity (and occasionally a boost of Recharge) until they are about 30-40 days old.. or whenever I decide to flower them. About a week before they start their flip, I will give them Prime (from Heavy 16) to ready them for the flip. Once I shorten their cycle, I cease the Prime, and I start them on their
8 week flowering feed. This is where the magic come in at. How and what you feed during flower makes all the difference in the world when it comes to what you harvest. Vegetative accidents can be fixed, by keeping the plant at a long light cycle, treating the ailment, and only flowering her when she is healed. If you screw up, or dont feed enough in flower you are done for. I seldom have problems with my plants, using the method below for flowers.

This should help you, should you decide to try my program. I grow my plants in Potter Gold soil, unammended, in pots that range from 2-7 gallons. They are indoor, under LED, COB and Quantum lights.

weeks 1-2 photo update

So for the first couple of weeks it was really hard to tell the blueberries from the PAK. I had the three of them in cups, and they grow quite similar at first. I posted the first 2 weeks at once, because there really want that much information to give about them being so new.
They seem to be very healthy, exceptionally uniform for how young they are. Shot right out in less than 24 hours after I took the photo of them in the cup of water.
Beautiful babies they were.

wk 3-4 photo update

So here they are after I transplanted them from their cups into bigger pots. The two blueberries took off like ROCKETS on the 2nd day after transplant. When I do a transplant, I make a trinity/recharge mix (1 gal) to feed them right away. Fill the bottom of the hole with about 1/2 c of mix to dampen. Spray some water around the sides of the hole, just so its not rough on the roots at first. Then once you get her out of the cup, and into the hole, you feed immediately with the transplant mix. (made by the cup/smaller pot into the soil. Easier than trying to dig one. Just press it into the middle of the pot. ) I usually have no problems at all with transplanting, even autos.
The next page will have them topped. After they are good and healed form a transplant, If I want cuts, I'll top, and defoliate some to get the secondaries to grow out enough for me to cut. These are starting to look like theyre going to give me beautiful cuts.

wk 4 solid updates

So here is a set of photos, for one of the blueberries. I seem to have skipped taking a photo of the second one. I may ghave it in another area, and if i find it i will add it. But do not worry, EVERYONE is getting a fresh update this weekend, and I will make sure to take good photos of everyone. This is the smaller of the two blueberries, just starting to get secondaries in this photo. Next update has them topped, and defoliated, but for not I had to let them grow a little bit more.
Feed schedule posted as its own page, in its entirety.
Girls are looking good, cant wait to see them flower out.

WK 5-6 photo update

so its been a little while, but the twins are coming along nicely. They are not quite twins. You can see a clear difference in them. One is a little taller, and it is a little more open in its structure, which i like. It also has a STRONG camphor smell to it. When i rub the stem and bring it to my face, i can feel it in my eyes, which is unusual. I like it though. I'm really excited about that one. They are both beautiful, however. Here are some photos to show off. Height measurement is metric.

APR 14 photos

So these girls are coming along BEAUTIFULLY! these are some of the prettiest plants I have grown Period.Dot. End. I can't WAIT to see what these buds look like! They are just a couple of weeks into flower, and are showing off for me already! They do seem slower than the Grease Monkeys, or my personal photo, but I've not got much to go off of when it comes to photos. I only just started getting into them. We will see.

About author
Lilly_of_the_Zoo
I am a grower of decent experience, but not decades. I consider myself to have a good idea of what I am doing, but not quite at a professional level yet. Until very recently I have had to devote too much time to my studies to do that, but I am hoping to take things to the next level here in the near future, and appreciate any help. I grow mostly autos, mostly Mephisto, with a few random strains thrown in here and there to make things interesting. I have two solid photo phenos I have as clones, but my auto strains are constantly changing. I would love to grow, possibly breed, some good CBD strains, but haven't found what I am looking for yet. Feel free to leave comments, questions, on any of my postings. I'm pretty good at replying, because I work online in graphic design.
