backyard blueberry

Welcome along to my back yard bucket grow. Please pull up a deck chair and park off here, a while.

 This lovely girl is a blueberry from Dutch Passion. She smells like a mix of blackberry jam and shortbread and should be ready in a couple of weeks time.

This ugly ducling turned into a beauty. The seedlings were all deformed and took a long while to get going, the growth is spindly and she has to be supported as the branches will hang down like an octopus.

I must veg her for 6 weeks and no stress is imperitive, otherwise she can herm easily. She's a pain to grow, but the high is worth the effort. Just opening the jar makes me grin.

She has burned in the wind and hosted her fair share of mites, but is still putting on some decent weight. She's my kind of girl.

Pre harvest plucking

I harvested back in April, around the full moon, so I think it was 3 months of flowering, in total. She grew for 6/7 weeks under my 7 Watters in the cupboard. She sat in a 5 litre icecream tub and was carefully placed into a bigger drum containing old potting mixture. My mixture details are in my profile, but its a basic mix of coco and compost, along with a few additives and a top dressing to see her across the line.

Evening all, I have a winter attempt under way. It is an attempt as you have to take your chances with the storms.  I used the same soil, in the same drum (25 litre) again.  I will take a pic or 2 in the morning.

 

These are the last of the blueberry pics in the gallery.  large.20200406_154457.jpg.dc16d59293aa917efeb59423db58e022.jpg

Raised bed seed project. Spare clones deserve a chance too. Skunk #1 on the left and blueberry on the right side.large.20200407_164059.jpg.4e104899e65115b7840fb7e1a5abf84f.jpg

I filled 3 coffee jars with bud and had a fat bag of skit left over. The 3 jars didn't last long into lockdown but I kept the trim curing at the back of the cupboard.large.20200407_172152.jpg.93fcdb3c26b2ac8b62878e73f93f4fbc.jpg

I harvested my little seed crop and collected 40 seeds of skunk x skunk, skunk x blueberry, blueberry x skunk, blueberry x blueberry.large.314371990_2020-03-2422_44_54.jpg.bc8925a0fe8a5e1acc3155cd76baaa38.jpg

These pair are my current grow and seed project. On the left we have a male sour blueberry x grape stomper. A little mix up of HSO and Gage Green's offerings.

On the right is a blue cheese, she is just begining to pre-flower and has been outside for the last 5/6 weeks. large.20200731_124913.jpg.7b38ad8bec15e9ba89a136dd0d0cd8d2.jpglarge.20200731_124921.jpg.502942a77c29717cf75cd7de734d24a3.jpg

 

Malted barley and dry fert top dressing. Water straight put the tap inbetween the rains.

 

My neighbours and i combined all our cured trim together (580 g) and made a decent batch this week.
