Hello Community!
I am here to share with you my experience in this project, ask you some questions or get some tips to improve this experience.
So these are the "specs" of this project:
Blueberry feminized from 00 seeds
Growing in Coco coir from Canna (Pot size 15L)
Feeding i use GH Flora Series and GH Cal+Mag (although it should not be needed, but my plant showed some deficiency mid veg)
For lights a 52w LED TGL STAR CREE 3500K, and a "150w" ufo from ebay (25€+shipping ahah) as an auxiliar light
Currently running 12/12h for the 10th day
She veged for about 40 days, where i topped once and LST a lot, and in the final week i placed a net above the plant and i planning to double scrog probably the next week or two. She barelly fits in a 2x3ft.
Here comes the curiousity,
I am only able to feed her once per day, and its like 6h after lights on (cause of my job, and dont want to stress the plant changing the time lines in flowering). Usually bettwen 1.7 and 1.9 EC, run to waste.
I know i should be washing more the medium, so i usually water till i get 60% runnof (like a small flush daily).
I read it should only take 10% of the pot to get 20% runnof, for me it would be like 1.5L, wich i do, but to get the 60% runnof.. Is my plant not drinking well?
About the readings, i cant get the 30% Lower EC reading on my runnof, it may be consequence from my watering habits, salts acummulating in the medium, or overfeeding... usually i read 1.4-1.5 EC in my runnof.
I topped and LST the plant wich gave me a nice bush, first day of flowering i did some defoliation, but i am afraid of having too many branches. In other cultures like vinyard they set a number of branches for the plant and cut the excessive branches (avoiding them to steal strenght from the plant, and focusing all the strenght to the intended branches) does it applies to cannabis aswell?
Another thing i would like advice is relactive humidity, the room itself has a reading of 55-65% RH, but i have a reader near the plant wich reads 70% RH and its peak is like 80%, i tryed some things to lower this readings like opening windows and doors, placed a bag of charcoal in the room, even some silicate in smal containers, but no sucess so far.. is there any way to reduce relactive humidity without spending money in one AC or Dehumidifier??
Last week i spotted some Gnats around the plant, i think i reacted early, cause i caught around 10 in two days, and its been like 5 days since and i dont see any in the yellow traps. I used nothing but the traps, and some hours spent trying to catch them all. I have some diatomaceous earth stored, i am avoiding to use it until it becomes a problem (i know its natural and dont hurt the plant, but it has some reactions in the medium wich i dont want, beeng a noobie and such).
So i will leave you with some photos, will upload more later. feel free to coment, advice or ask any questions.. i am here to learn, and i believe you are aswell!
Sorry for the english btw!
