My first blueberry plant!!! Need help!!

[Sr. Verde]

You can buy a dehumidifier? Lol that's pretty much it though I think.

You probably want to bring that down 10%-20% for veg. 80% is a little high. Keep the airflow up if anything, you don't want mold/rot. 100% lost product.

That humidity will be an issue when you hit flower, you want low humidity for flower. The plant will produce copuious amounts of resin(potentcy) to keep the buds from drying out when it flowers in low humidity

lol my pockets are really empty now for a dehumidifier. wont be able to aford it yet, i think the humidity went high today becouse it raind quit alot today and hade window open so moist air has been gettning in the room.

waterd today with 5.0ml of formulex,

 

[Sr. Verde]

Yeah no I wasn't sayin buy one I was saying that's what you'd need

I think you'll be aight dude just keep air circulating so mold doesn't set in

well if you want to do it a bit ghetto go to home bargain buy a bulk bag of rice ( the huge one ) put it in one corner of the room and your humidity will be lowered, cheap fast and will never run out of rice

That's a nominal amount of moisture absorption though.

I mean the rice will only absorb water until the rice's moisture level is equal to the airs. It won't keep absorbing water like a de-humidifier works, that's why there's nothing like a dehumidifier.

Air Conditioning is basically a dehumidifier though, so keep that running if you can/have one.


See if your trying to raise the humidity that's way easier. You just set a few saucers with water out and the water evaporates and turns into humidity, but you can't really do the opposite.



Perhaps there is a product out there like sillica or something that can help bring the humidity down but I don't know of anything (besides a dehumidifier like I said)

 

[nas2007]

the problem is all sorted now. didnt even spend a penny lol. i think it just was high becouse yesterday it heavy rained so thats probly it

but will defnly get a good dehumidifier after i done my first grow!!

some pic updates, ill be posting pics every 4 days

okey they at day 15 today and they looking good as far as i can tell

sharks breath


sour cream


blueberry

 

[Sr. Verde]

Oooh lah lah they look great.



Now is when your going to want to top, and shortly after that your going to want to tie it down and begin training it. It already looks a little tall so your going to want to fix that with the training


Ask me about anything you don't understand with topping.

Your going to want a very sharp, clean object. The sharper and cleaner the cut the less stress on the plant. I use a clean razorblade

I'd top for two main colas for the blueberry for sure. I hear that topping the blueberry is almost necessary to produce a good yield.

this is the info on top i know of

Topping a marijuana plant
1. Locate the very top of your plant and cut through the main stem just below the newest growth. This should be done after the 3rd or 4th leaf set but can be done at any time after the 3rd leaf set.
2. Shows Plant Top cut off and where the 2 new Branches that will form a "Y" in the main stem will grow from.
3. Shows the newly topped plant after 2 days of growth, notice the Y in the Stem Forming.

Yup dude that's it. Basically the little things growing between the fan leafs and the main stem are branches (much like the main one coming out the top)

when you cut off the top of the plant, the little things coming out at the nodes will take over and replace the top of the plant, except now two main branches are growing rather than one. The benefit of this is to double the bud sites which is great for small setups.

You want to cut just above the two (soon to be new) branches as it shows in that pic




btw your growth will probably be stunted for a day or two, with full growing vigor returning after like day 3. After the third day or so after the cut your plant should be exploding (topping also encourages lower plant growth as it shoots the growing hormone back down the stem when you cut it )

Just checking in on this grow first time in a while, sorry to hear your first batch didn't make it, looks like things are going better now.

I top all my plants, let them regrow for a week or 2, then start tying down LST style. I can only recommend this, since it allows better airflow and light to your buds, keeps the canopy even and, in my opinion, increases yield. My plants are never more than 12 inches from the top of the pot as a result, but with branches that, if allowed to stand up straight, would give a 4 or 5 foot tall plant.

I started out with growing the beginning of this year and have learned loads from this forum, keep at it as your babies are looking healthy and happy now.

 

[pimmline]

Damn they are growing well and the green is amazing!!!! keep up the good work...

 

[nas2007]
