Hey everyone. Fairly new grower here, just a few indoor grows under my belt, and decided to undertake my 1st outdoor grow this year. This will be a much as a call for help as it is a diary, and I'm hoping that others may be able to help out, and give me advice throughout this adventure, and help me gain a few skills, and the knowledge to be better for the next run.
I've got 7 Blueberry clones. 6 put in the ground a week and a half ago, and one put out 6 days ago. Also have 2 Afghan Kush clones taken around week 2 of flower, and reveged. All clones were taken within a week or 2 of each other, vegged in the same Great Lakes Water Only Soil in solo cups, under the same light. All transplanted directly in ground. 6 of the Blueberry holes were filled using 3cf of the Great Lakes soil. The 2 Afghan's and the 7th Blueberry were planted straight into my native soil to see how it does.
3 of the Blueberry's in the Great Lakes soil were topped 5 days ago, and the other 3 were topped 2 days ago. The other Blueberry, and 2 Afghan Kush have not been touched.
Theses plants do not get the best light, but it was the best spot I had. They get a good 4-6 hours of direct light with passing shade, and another 2-4 hours of indirect light. When it's dry out, they'll be watered from a 55gal rain barrel, either by hand, or using a 100ft soaker hose setup, with a pump inside the barrel.
Going for a minimalist grow here. Using just the water only soil. Not using any nutes unless a problem arises that calls for it, and I'd like to stick to top dressing rather than liquids. I do however have EWC, a setup to make tea, and an unending supply of rabbit poop if needed.
Truth be told, if I only pull 2oz per plant, that's enough to last me to next year's outdoor harvest, and I'll be happy. The goal is to double that yield or better though, as this is as much about getting better as a grower, as it is about the yield.
Time for some pics. 1st up are the 6 Blueberry that are in the water only soil.
Next up is the 7th Blueberry, and 2 Afghan reveg's in native soil only.
The soaker hose I setup yesterday
And the white tarp I put up today. Grow space is 17ft x 7.5ft
I debating on lst or scrog to maximize light penetration. Haven't decided yet.
