Hi guys

Some Info?

3 x 600w HPS Dual Spectrum
15 Blueberry Plants

Potted up in stages ( Jiffy Plug- 2" sq pots- 4Lt pots - Currently in 6.5ltr pots) Final pots will be 11ltrs

They have been in the 6.5 ltrs roughly 10days and most of them are around 15"-16" tall.

I water with a lance Till run off every 4 days

My questions is, My plants seem to droop after watering and slowly recover after 2 days but it still has a slight droop. Do you think there root bounded?

Or is my watering scheduel wrong?

Will get some pics tonite

could be over watering mate done it myself recently , they dont like wet feet ( well mine dont ) . just a thought

You water when the medium is almost completely dry, before they start to wilt, not before and not after.

Sometimes it's 4 days, 5 days, 6 days... I've had some go for 7 days before they needed watering, it all depends on a number of environmental and genetic factors.

Also, when you water, make sure you give them PLENTY of water... if they're in pots, water until you get run off that they don't suck up.

That what im doing, waiting for the pots to dry out and the water just before they wilt.

Got some pics,

Will get more at lights out

could the be root bounded?

I have similar with one of my plants (other 2 are fine) so will be interested in the diagnosis.

What size pots are you in? how ogten are you watering?

My plants used todroop about 3 hours before the lights used to go out, but at lights on there wher fine, leaves pointing towards the lights, but the last 1 and half week they seem to droop, then slowly get back to normal again after a2-3 days, but then i water on the 4th day ( pots are dry) and so it happens again

Anybody with any suggestions to what it could be?

there have improved alot from yesterday, but still got a slight droop in them

Same here buddy - my Phiscodelicia is looking much better after a feed + watering but still drops a little on leaves further down the plant.

Im currently week 2/3 of flower and giving them about 1.4 ltrs of water + 1ml Grow/2ml bloom every 3/4 days

They need potted on mate in my opinion.

sorry yeah I didnt realise you were not in your final pots - pot up!!

Yeh will be potting up tomorrow, its still slightly damp at the mo.

Are you watering with water that's cold? If so could be shocking the plants slightly. Water needs to be at room temps.

the temp water is around 20C

I think i know what the problem is

I got some cutting 10 at first then about 1-2weeks later i got another five,

The first 10 were near 1foot when i got the other five and were already in a 6.5ltr pot, and the new cuttings were in smaller ones.

So what i did was delayed potting the 10 cuttings in the 6.5ltr pot to 11ltr pots so the other 5 cuttings can catch up

Today the 5 cuttings in the 6.5ltr pot are happy leaves facing towards lights, but as for the other 10 thery were still droopy. More then likley there root bounded

Anyways iv potted them to 11ltr pots now, we'll see ow they are tomorrow,

Will be potting the other five in about 4 days.

Then hopefully 12/12 after that ( hope they've reached 2foot by the end of next week)

nice roots dude

pot up defo needed an then u mite hav to pot up again, defo root bound mate,get on it asap.

Iv potted uptoday to 11ltrs, if i give thema week to root out into these and then go 12/12 do you think id be ok? or will i have to pot on again? if i do then wot litre pots?

yeah that shd wrk.best getn em in final pots before 12s,so u dont have to do ne unneccesary repotting later if u hit trouble.wen u go 12s they gona shoot up u gona gt a fright.have u cut off botttom branches? wen i cut down 1st time i had a lot of bits from bottom branches that amounted to nothing so id advise to cut off lower branches at base so the energy gts focused into the side buds higher up.

this is my first grown, and have been reading about trimming the lower branches, im going todo some today, the problem is do i completlet cut the branch from the mainstem, or trim everything off the branch and leave 1 or 2 leaves on the end?

can some clarify this for me please

o and how many branches shall i cut/trim from bottom?

thanks
