Apocalyptic Blueberry

so from what I saw, he it topping at an early stage to have the 2 main stems and after tying them down and then repeat.

I've been wanted to ask you guys, at the moment I am under 20/4 with the light, should I switch to 18/6 ?

thinking to start the bondage technique with the 2nd one, but I guess I have some technical problems with it. She is a slow one...might be a mutant. I mean, she is symmetric and no abnormal leaves, but she is so slow for her age compared with her big sister. Time will tell.

Day 24 from seed for the 1st one and day 17 from seed for the second one.

The 1st one looks well, still going slow after the FIM but I am able to see 4 new tops. 2 from underneath the FIM cut and 2 from the FIM cut. Will see how she develops. Today I've just removed couple of lower fan leaves to channel the energy into the branches, and a bit of bending to the new branches. Going well so far.

The 2nd one...still small...day 17 and no new branches, I would like to top it but I don't have what to top. Is it the genetics of the seed or wtf is happening it it? I mean her sister developed very nice and fast but this one...Have you had this type of plants before? She is very very very slow. Looks healthy but the leaves are small ( there are 5 blades in there, but small, it's like a dwarf plant retarded plant) Any suggestions ?

New pics coming this Tuesday.

Oohh, don't fret, that could be a good thing.
I had a straggler, and she turned out to be my best BB.
My wife said " aren't you glad you didn't pull her?"

Unfortunately no, I have never actually kept a journal.
just pictures.
I do remember that I had a few males, a mutant that produced very airy, strange looking buds,
and a normal one, and a runt that was so slow, I washed her roots off, and put her in DWC.
which came out great. Long flower time, sensitive to over feeding. Big streatch.
3 week cure made them smell like juicy fruit gum.

sounds nice, my fiancee is most curious of the blueberry, she wanted this type. I would have chosen some cheese but now I am really curious myself as well and I've seen it has a huge concentration of THC as well. How was the smoke over all from it?

Day 25th from seed for the first one and day 18th from seed for the second one. They look well, yesterday I removed couple of old fan leaves from the 1st one and give it a bit of fractures into some of the secondary branches. The FIMing site looks...well, slowly developing. I will get 2 mains from the FIM and 2 underneath, hopefully all 4 of them they be mains.
Otherwise she is doing well. Was completely dry so I gave it some water.
The 2nd one...she is slowely growing. Green, happy but retarded. Gave it water as well and since yesterday I've added another CFL for her. So now I have on the big 105w for the 1st one, and 2x 38w for the 2nd one, but they are in the same closet so...plenty of light in there.
Was hoping that today I will have my new camera but it appears there is some delay. So hopefully I'll put some pics tomorrow evening or Wednesday.
And still waiting for the co2 pills and the ph down liquid

Day 23 from seed for the 1st one and day 16 from seed for the 2nd one. They are ok, no new issues. I've stressed the 1st one a bit, bending couple of branches and the main stem. Thinking to tie her down soon but first I would like for the FIM to give me some results. Till 2 new tops are coming from near the FIM. The FIM itself didn't do any shit. Till now acts like a topping. I mean it's not developing any new tops or anything...I'll see

The FIM cut is gonna work ALL THE WAY DOWN the stem. It's not gonna show right away..You'll notice in about a week how different your plant looks! Be patient!
You should end up with at least 4 new tops where you see two at. Takes some time tho.

thank you very much for the encouragement!

Perkele, look at your post count. Hurry post one more to change it!

To be honest I don't remember the high as much as the
smell, and taste. I do remember it was my favorite between
It, and afghani x Hindu I grew at the same time.
sorry.

Day 26 from the 1st one and day 19 for the second one, they are doing well, developing good. I got my CO2 pills today and I've just added one in a glass of water. I'll let you know what will be the outcome. If tomorrow I will not get my new camera, then I'll do some pics with the old one and upload them.

pics please

Day 27 from seed for the 1st one and day 20 from seed for the 2nd one. No new issues, they look great, the 2nd one has started to develop, something is working well for her. Managed to take some pics.
I am wandering, do you think I should cut off some of the big top fan leaves from the 1st one? To let the light go down to the lower branches?


Also I think I will leave them in vegi this week and the next one and on the 27th of this month I'll switch them into 12/12.
Please advice and comment on the above pics. If there's anything I should do more, any LST do you think? What do you think of my FIM results?

Yessir those FIM results are as expected and only gonna get better. You gotta pick a side to tie it over to for sure..
Those smaller branches which are a product of the FIM cut will the grow into BIG STRONG branches then, because the plan will divert more energy to them being tied over.
They'll also grow upwards towards the light within a day or two.

& I would prune off the fan leaves that would be laying on the soil of the side you tied over to, because they're gonna die anyways eventually.
And lastly, but most importantly I'd say. Drop a couple lights around the plant at plant level..That way you really get good side lighting, and don't have to cut anything off from the top.

I did the first half of my journal on another forum and deleted it due to security issues...It would have showed you kinda how I got my plant so stout.
But it stated with a FIM cut and some LST...and some pruning here and there...I know the leaves are "solar panels" but I know removing a few won't hurt.
It's not logical to LST and keep all the leaves....Probably isn't possible either haha

But yeahh that's two cents for ya homie! Good looking grow Perk.
