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.

that main cola was a fatty, hope you avoid the dreaded mold in the center of it
You also didnt mention light size, im guessing 600? 24 hours a day?
if your any impatient as me, youve always got the next round or two running in veg!
You doing your first grow now? Or working on getting started?Ayeee I like that! I’ll prob try scrog next grow. This first one will take a lot of the errors for me. Learning day by day

Good to hear @TreeFiddy350. You will find that sweet spot, and get everything dialled in in no time. What strain are you growing out? Multiple plants? Tent grow ?
Yeah man, just learn as you go .. there is a wealth of knowledge and information on these forums and most seem very willing to lend a helping hand. I would suggest LST, and if your comfortable enough it wouldn't hurt to top them. Keeping training and tying down shoots to prevent too much vertical growth ( esp during the first few weeks of 12/12). Easy to under estimate the growth spurt during this time. Most seem to double in size.
If your growing with synth nutrients, start low and increase when your plant needs it. Keep your pH in check, good air movement along with temps/RH and I think you'll have a pretty trouble free grow.
I haven't started a thread for this grow, but I will start one later tonight. Do you have a thread for yours?
Cheers.
