Plants are battling this shite weather. Next 10 days is like 13-16c :/ Does show how resilient this guava is tho.

Purple lemonade is impressive as I’ve only fed it once but the first set of leaves aren’t even dead yet. Fastbuds do mention on their site it can go long periods without nutrients! No lie.

Wonder if the strong El Niño has anything to do with it?

I really wish someone would cross a nice bubblegum to usc's uzbekistani line there is some nice gum phenos in that line i reckon those two would compliment each other very well

Hey mate. Been looking at running that bubblegum at first I thought you said you were going to be running it next. Looks a lovely plant!
Yeah the bx3, I got 8/10 fems every pheno is very nice, real good yield it's looks too, buds are dense no issues wat so ever they even survived heat wave before my setup was fully were as others wilted these were unaffected

I've done everything I can think of to get it on track but it refuses to play ball for anything, obviously there's something not right with it does anyone know what causes this?

I put it into a cup to stop fine roots drying out but nah it doesn't have any roots outside of the pouch?
It's become a bit of challenge now so I'll keep trying?

Maybe gently repot her might encourage it to try to root out and hope for the best im guessing it was a old seed mind you blueberry does have its fair share of funny plants in the line anyway bud

Cheers bud, generally I don't have many problems starting seeds but I can't get coastal blueberry to grow anything like normal and that's me on a 2nd pack, they always go downhill soon after sprouting.

I've seen a dude on ICmag who's growing coastal blueberry and his sprouted and grew without any problems?

Sounds like old seed stock are they expensive packs get onto the breeder or seed vendor I'd be upset if I was having problems I get upset when one seed don't pop couldn't imagine a pack failing on me I'd cry

They cost me £60/65 so they're not cheap, I'd rather draw a line under them even if they were replaced for a 2nd time I probably wouldn't grow them, I got one female from my 1st lot but it didn't wow me in any way.

Could be old or just a mutant as its blueberry so pheno dependant/luck of the draw

I've been looking out for something to make a lance with that doesn't leak water everywhere for hand feeding, my back is killing me feeding the back row, I need to come up with something for the next crop.

From the dimensions it's circa 9/10" so it's a nice size ...if it works I mean lol

Has anyone used this type of washer? I'd like to know how many litres a min it can pump.
