Nice grow, bud!
Im curious how youve found the blueberry response to nutrients. Ive heard theyre not always receptive and there seems to be a lttle burn on yours.
I'm hitting 35 days tomorrow on a couple blueberries myself. I had to flush one out yesterday ..only 2:1 water/pot ..because of this:

Soon as i switched over to bloom i switched over from a GH liquid nute feed to a GH granular (Maxibloom) 5-14-15 i believe and its been nothing but trouble since. And my ph is going in at 6.5 and coming out at 6.0 in promix. Can only assume its nutes even at 1/2 ratio. Anyway, im not here to hijack. But i am curious how your blueberry had responded to nute uptake.
Its a lovely and full plant with a lot of flower already. i dont think ill get the yield potential but i want to keep the girl alive..

Hey Onion ,
This is my first grow, so it's very new to me but regarding my blueberry and nutrient uptake I'll try to explain to the best of my abilities.
I grew both blueberry, and a blue-dream which I believe is blueberry genetics eh? I found them to be picky, but I'm not so sure it was nutrients that they was picky about? Right from the first few weeks, it always seemed difficult to keep everything green. The tips, and and the outer edges always wanted to seem to brown up. Both of them always had the curled down tips like that and I could never figure out what was causing it?
I ended up losing my Blue Dream, but anyway. I started to feed my blueberry about 3 weeks into veg, followed lucas formula and she seemed to love it. I ran it at 5-10 micro/bloom, until i switched 12/12. I flushed the pot once I believe. The browning of the tips and edges continued but it never seemed to get worse when feeding nutes?
I actually haven't been PH'ing my water. I only had access to a shitty 3-1 thing that checks pH/light/wetness from Home Depot, and I questioned it's accuracy right off the get go. I tried a couple times to get my tap water to 6.5 using that device and when I fed the plants with the PH'd water it almost seemed to get worse?
Well fast forward until now, 60 days into flower .. and I have upped my nutes from 5-10 to 8-16 .. and I never noticed the browning getting any worse until later on into flower. I actually posted a picture in the plant trouble forums, and they said it looked like a cal def. I have since ordered cal-mag, and have been feeding every couple of waterings with this in the formula and it hasn't exactly cured it but the browning is less for sure. I didn't want to up my cal-mag feeding much more then it was, to see if it would completely cure it or not just in case.
My plant seems to be thriving regardless though, and I just look at the brown spots as life experience haha. I could never completely cure it, and have been told that blueberries can be finicky as fuck when it comes to this subject. I question sometimes, had I completely cured the browning would my grow be going better? But at this point, I just deal with it lol.
I just smoked a few bubblers, so I hope I didn't fuck up to bad and that this can be of some help to you. I'm sure many more experienced guys could help you more then I though.
Look at you! Great grow. As others said go a bit longer. Worst case you go over you get some super Stoney weed no biggie
If a bit of stony weed is all I have to worry about, then I'm lightyears ahead of where I figured I'd be at 14 weeks ago! lol
Thanks bud, I'm going to keep it going another few weeks. Will keep you guys updated for sure.
