Hey guys. In Week 5 of 12/12 on my Blueberry clones from the local shop.

This is my first grow and its had its ups and downs. Just took some fresh random pics. There are prob some colas I took more than one pic of my mistake, lol.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Its hard to tell but there are 6 plants. The one in the middle back, has two MASSIVE top colas despite not being topped, as well as 6 other surrounding colas that are as big as the tops on the other 5. I call her Bertha. She is starting to yellow some so I've made sure there is no build up and am in the process of increasing her micro nutes.

***EDIT: One thing I haven't asked about but also haven't been to worried about is: The lower branches are loosing a lot of leaves, like every couple of days I'm in there pulling out half or mostly dead leaves. (as best I can it's fucking cramped in there, lol.) I assume this is because the canopy is so thick and not muck light is getting around the sides or down below. I haven't really been concerned as I don't care about a high yield as much as leaning and having some nice sensimilla. I have been worried this might be stressing them some but the top growth looks so nice should I even care? lol.

It is but I don't think this early. Also the other plants are still mostly very dark green. Bertha is easily 3x the size of the others so I'm betting its a nute issue.

Yea man it's ok. You could trim a few if you wanted. This would open up additional lighting for some bud sites too. It might get progressively worse as you get closer to harvest. That would mean the buds are sucking in alot of the N in the leaves I believe. Looks killer! The yellow tips could mean either too hot or a little too much nutes? What kind of temps are you running?

70-80 mostly although it has dropped to around 65 at night. One morning my high/low said 63. Ive got a small fan heater in there set on 70 but it shuts off sometimes and I don't realize it as all that stuff in in the "hidden" section of the closet, hehe.

I've considered opening up the canopy some but like I said I care more about "top shelf" product than I do about the popcorn. Depending on how the lower flowers mature, I may just wait till the tops turn cloudy, harvest them, then let the lower flowers mature some.

I have been agressing in the nutes, however I don't think its running too hot. About halfway thru veg all of them were starting to yellow. I gradually bumped up the nutes and they bounced back like crazy. I ended up more than tippling the micro nutes for the N. Before backing it off slightly when switching to flower.

I think Bertha's problem is simply she is more than double the size of the others. I feed her more volume more often(as she drinks a lot more) but until today I was giving her the same nute concentrations as the others, adding 2ml/gal micro on her today.
