Found my growth issue. Soil PH is at 8 and the other holes are around 7.6-7.8. I'm guessing microbe activity must have plummeted, because the soil is fairly loaded.

That's common. I tested midday when I knew it was slightly moist yet drying out. I top dressed with a light amount of sulfur (1/4 cup per plant). I'm going to change up my nutrients as well. Going to go with age old grow, kelp, ej catalyst, and add in Bushdoctor microbe brew into the mix.I have found my soil PH varies depending on how much moisture is in the soil
I like your blue dreams mate. I crossed a fem trippy gorilla onto a blue dream. Hoping to make it more potent.Not trying to take nothing just showing my outdoor blue dream too..... sorry
How quick do you think the sulfur will lower the ph? At this stage take it slow what ever you do plants are growing fast and stretch is around the corner.That's common.

I have no idea how fast it'll lower. I calculated that it would take about half a cup to get it all the way from 8 to 6.5. However ph varies on moisture content as well. I did introduce a large amount of microbes back into the soil which would help reduce the ph. I'm not expecting an immediate correction of ph. I'm hoping for a slight adjustment before bio activity returns it to normal.How quick do you think the sulfur will lower the ph?

Well, I lost the plants that had mites and the 3 near them due to whatever happened to those particular plants while I was out on evacuation from a fire. All evidence points to someone poisoning them while checking my property during the evacuation. The other 5 are perfectly fine and doing great(they are more hidden) other than finding some budworm eggs on one of them about an hour ago. I picked off what I could find. They reek of a sweet yet sour blueberry. Love it! Just bummed I lost my 5 largest plants and potentially have another pest battle ahead. Also, no I'm in Norcal.So how did it turn out? Just saw the spider mite attack, and that's all she wrote! Was just curious how it ended up, I assume yr in Washington state as well. I'm trying to finish 5 blue dream plants and am racing against the clock big time. Oct 15th is about the latest I wanna take em...
I would at least take a third of the buds as insurance. Would hurt to lose them now waiting one more week.Getting ready to pull this weekend, or should I wait just a few days longer?View attachment 4022140View attachment 4022142
Next time I grow BD it will definitely be clone only again. The seed versions just aren't quite there. I'm curious if it's worth breeding my own. You can still get DJ Short Blueberry to breed with the haze.Nice Harry, I ran the HSO's blue dream and was greatly disappointed. You're version looks yummy.....
