The plants are doing okay. I have another surgery tomorrow to remove the stint they put in. I may only be able to do a group shot of the plants, but we'll see how I am feeling on Sunday morning.
The plants took a little hit, but not bad. They basically got a little too dry and cold while Iw as gone, which slowed them down right when they were supposed to take off. However, I shoudlnt see many problems, except maybe a little longer flowering time and possibly a very small loss of yield.
To offset this, I did re-innoculate the soil with mycorrhizae, bacteria and molasses, as well as some enzymes for a quick boost.

Since I updated just a few days ago, I decided to not update today with new pictures. However, I do wish to catalog the female plants thus far as a "Review Update", because I just noticed this thread is getting over 12+ pages without a single blueberry bud shot
However, this should show beginners that Cannabis growing is an art form and not a race.

Hopefully we'll begin to see some bud formation beginning soon, hopefully in time for a 'prettier' update next week!

I'mmmmmmmmmm baaaaack!
Personal recovery is in full swing now. Updates will resume normally.
This morning I watered with a heavily fortified AAC Tea this morning, with an emphasis on root production (to help recover from my absence) and a lot of Jamaican Bat Guano in order to facilitate the budding processes. All buds have started popping; I wish I had just a little more stretch to all of the plants, but now I know for next time.
On to the pics!
Blueberry #2: SCRoG (wish she stretched more to fill out the screen better, but it will still be fine)
BB2 is showing promise. I would probably SCRoG her again, but would give more time for the screen to fill in. I was expecting more of a stretch from her, but she should still wind out fine. She doesn't smell that strong yet, not super impressed with the bud structure atm.
Blueberry #4: Staked
I love the early-hues of blue coming through on some of the bud. The bud structure and smell is very similar to Blueberry 2, not super-impressive....yet. She is the biggest of all of them, but very comparable in size to the other two.
Blueberry #5: Staked
Remember, this was the plant that was a stunted seedling showing a lot of deformities, at the time. I kept a keen eye on this one throughout the grow. If I have thrown this out, I would have missed out on the below beauty. She is currently the best smelling, biggest-producing and nicest-structured plant of the lot.
It is important to never just throw a plant out because it showed some differences early on in life. Sometimes these plants can grow to be the best plants of your tent. The plant below is easily 2-3x bigger in bud-width than the other two plants.
On a side note, I wanted to tell you about the rest of the 5 seeds that have been growing(but not documented) from the original DJ Short Blueberry 10 Pack. Out of the other 5, 2 were female. So, out of DJ's 10 pack, I had a 5/10 female ratio, or 50%.
The other two females are very similar in structure to the plants listed above. Very stable genetics.
Currently, all five Blueberries are also cloned for future runs and experimentation.

Keep that small psudo going, I had one that produced very unique flavours, as well as aroma. However a hermie condition that becomes IRREVERSIBLE! can accure from SOME blueberry strain's psudos, I think its just because they are so finicky,as well as easily stressed. With my psudo I swore if you looked at it wrong, it would end wilting and dieing on ya. Eventually I abandoned the project, and found another blue berry strain that was much more stable. Unfortunately no psudos so far.

Also check the melungeon magic pics and avatar, this is the newest projects. after my father died we cleaned out abunch of crap in his house, some of the "crap" I found was his stash of seeds, Quite a collection so far some have sprouted some have not, Dates writen on the small zipplocks go back 20 years or better "melungeon magic" is from these seeds. I remember this stuff when I was a kid. People would give $15 a gram for this "sence." "Purple Shit" was rare in my neck of the woods in the 70s. Now I've brought it back, improved on it emmencly. Tech has come along ways, Dad would grow "the purple shit" as it was called then, under a huge mounted on ply-wood "array" with four pulleys, to raise and lower the "array". I have no idea what the linneage of this remarkable strain is, wish I did. I will be following your blue berry thread with great interest as I have been emmursing myself in the art of growing organic. I found Good Earth bat gauano tea makes the melungeon magic POP with flavour it leaves a grape nehi taste that lingers and lingers.

What is a "psudo"?

Very interesting. I will look for your grow journal....I recently stumbled across a boatload of old seeds from the 70s and 80s....mainly Meshmican, Acupulco Gold and Thai Stick.
Interesting stuff!

Hi snafu, Glad you are feeling better, great update, I always look forward to it. The gals are really looking good. I agree on the stability, the male I have is ready to drop pollen anyday now and I've moved him to a remote location. He is very similar in scent and structure to the female with red/purple stems. I think the female pheno I have flowering resembles a combo of your #4 and 5. I posted a few pics of her in the indoor section last week. She also didnt stretch very much, but really packs it on late in the game. Also has this crickle leaf thing that pops up randomly. This week might be the final week as the calaxes are swelling and late flower color changes in effect... shes taken on a real distinct purple hue on the buds. Shes very sweet smelling. Also, that 3rd Blueberry I had vegging turned out to be another female. Cloning in process, oh man, I'm gonna be busy (in a good way that is..).

Bad news. Got a definitive hermaphrodite with Blueberry #5.
I am going to pluck the nanners off when I see them, and hopefully keep it controlled. If they become too much, I will dump this plant.
I will keep clones of her until I try some sample buds. This is WAY early for hermaphrodism, so I think I am going to have to toss her.
Sometimes, however, plants will throw out a few nanners early in flowering, only to stop and push out some serious sinsemilla dank.
Alas, she will be examined every day and night now until I feel as though her clones are worth keeping or chuck everything completely.
Remember, I am a seed-popping pheno-hunter looking for the gem. I dont think BB5 is the gem I was looking for, but we shall see.

I think he means 'pheno.'
