3 blueberry seedlings

Kp I've never heard of that one.....what does it do? Same thing?

[mobay]

If the plants are sprayed with Ethel early in their growing stage, they
will produce almost all female plants. This usually speeds up the flowering
also, it may happen in as little as two weeks.

[Weedhound]

Ahhh, no this is not the same thing as that.....it simply keeps any hermie traits in a female plant from appearing....ie......no hermie nanners.....a male will still be a male and a female a female. Strictly to fight hermi-ism.

added some epsom salt to water they got today, we'll see if it helps them...

if anyone with experience of a sulfur def and used epsom salt to fix the problem could let me know maybe how much I'm going to have to use to see good results or any other info about it really...that would be great.

thanks guys..:thumbsup:

I'm taking it that once my leaves start to become softer again rather than all dry feeling it could be improving? can't tell much difference so far..gave them water at about 3:30..

[Weedhound]

Mark I honestly don't know what will happen with the leaves.....sometimes leaf damage is a done deal.....just the new growth looks healthy. In a sulfur def....??? that's how much I know.

Your buds sure look like heaps of goodness. :thumbsup::jointsmile:

I bought Epsom salts too and watered them for a possible magnesium def. I only used half a teaspoon per gallon just to slightly adjust them back to normal as they are only in 1st week of 12/12.

Mark, I would say to try foliar spraying them instead of watering with it. It is done by many rose/garden people. Try a 1/2 tablespoon per gallon foliar spray one time and then again 7-10 days later. Using epson salts in soil can change the soils ph. So I would stick to a foliar spray , also it is highly soluble so it makes an exellent foliar spray. Also when You foliar spray you will know that your plants will have "instant access" to the epson salts micro-nutrients. I should have told you this when I recommended epson salts but didnt even think to mention it. Well now you know! Hope it helps.

thanks root doctor...I'm really weary of foliar spraying this late into flower personally, as for a lowered soil ph, that isn't an issue. I believe the cause to this problem in the first place was a slightly high ph, which would be my 7.5 or so tapwater...maybe even using it in the soil will offset it enough to lower ph to a more likeable level?

there doesn't seem to be any new leaves being affected, nor the ones that had been getting much worse...hopefully they're fine now..I may give them salt water one more feeding before more nutes though, I donno we'll see how it comes about..

Ic , Foliar spraying early in the day (about 15 minutes before your lights normally turns on) on the undersides of the lower leaves shouldnt be a problem. I only suggested that way because the micro-nutrients would be available to the plants right away and it wouldnt affect your soil's ph and the plants would have all day for the moisture to evaporate. Im glad there showing signs of recovery! Another feeding with mild epson salts shouldnt hurt but be cautious dont let there be to much buildup. You might even want to wait a few days back to your normal feeding scedule and then give them the second dose of epson salts. Glad I could help. And ill be watching to see these girls harvested.

seeing cloudy trichs on 1/3 of them so far, the others will be shortly behind I'm sure, but the one showing cloudy is DIRECTLY under the light, so it's getting tons of light, and is getting quite dense if I must say...you guys don't get any pics until thursday or so though, you'll be surprised :thumbsup:

anyone let me know if it's going to be hands down easy to notice 50/50 amber/cloudy..? seems like amber trichs are really noticeable, however it's not as easy as I thought to see cloudy or clear, but I'm capable of it..

took a couple small popcorn pieces to give a try, probably not the best part to take for a sample, they're underneath everything but they've got some cloudy's..
