[[email protected]]

they are going good, probably going to finish off this one and start fresh inside this winter, still gathering peices for my aero mister system. im in no rush though all in due time.

30 and still counting.

its amazing how just a day or two shows the sites so much more defined... it makes everyday an adventure... lol

sweet thread ! what was the final yield from the 12 buckets?

hows it going HBR?? thanks for stopping in to check things out...

i dont know the final yield as its only the first week of 12/12.. lol so i got a while yet...

i can tell you on my last grow i had at least 3 plants per pot, they were extremely stressed throughout the grow, and it was in soil not hydro, and i still managed almost .5 gram per watt.. i typically averaged better.. but that was a fucked grow.. so even if i only hit that mark, with 2500 / 2 i would get around 1250 grams or around 2.5 lbs... i REALLY hope to pull more than that.. maybe .75 grams or better.. which i should hit.. but ill go ahead and say my goal for this grow is 4 lbs.... hope you stick around to see where it goes.. you choose the best time to join in!

slow and steady is always the best.. usually when we rush things get half assed so to make due and the end result sufferes...

hope you can get things around to get your grow up and going by winter... be fun to watch round 2...

I've been away for a while and all I have to say is WOW. It looks fuckin incredible. How is the smell? Do you have filters. I would love to walk into your room in about 2 or 3 weeks. My white widow clones are about 10 days away from going into 12/12 and I can't wate. Is your blueberry dutch passion fem? My blueberry is and I hope I don't get hermi's. I have herd that that they are not the most stable seeds. That white shark is huge. Your going to get a lot from that plant. Keep posting pictures they always make my day lol.

thanks bro... always nice to have a confidence booster now and then...

i think the BB is from BCbuddepot... i got the seed(s) from a friend.. and i believe thats where he said he got them.. they were supposed to be fem'd.. but i got some males... hopefully yours are better..

the smell is very nice... the girls were pungent even before flowering.. and i imagine it will just continue to get better.. i do have a filter.. its in a seperate "exhaust" room i have set up.. i dump all the air from my lights and room into that room so it all has to go through the filter...

ill definatly keep posting pics... ill probably take a few more in a couple days.. let them get a little further along first..

 

[simpsonsampson420]

things are looking good... starting to show a lot more bud sites... the blueberry is actually already producing resin... i up'd the nutes since they are progressing so well.. ill take some pics in a couple days and post them...

 

[tilemaster]

ya my blue mom is officially 1 of the biggest plants ive ever grown yet.. lil confusing didnt think it would shoot like it did when flowered..but remember i broke mine in half during transplant, and then let it kinda recover and off to bud. its resin popped up real quick , buds are light green with just white pistals at this point (30 days in) . ive got a solid 5footer and probably 50 budsites on her. although the buds arent huge yet, im hoping they really start thickning out. either way i cloned the piss out of her, and all my young clones are real promising from this bcbuddepot blueberry.

 

[simpsonsampson420]

i really like the blue berry... she is a great strain for sure... depending on how she flowers i might pick her up as a standard strain..

i have decided going into the next grow im going to buy seeds and start all new plants... no way will i be able to take and hold clones long enough to let the flowering girls finish... and i dont want to clone them late into flowering..

the hardest thing i'm finding is having multiple strains on a single reservoir isnt going to work in the long run.. at least strains that vary so much.. i need to make sure the strains are similar.. i hate having to worry that all the girls are getting what they need, not to much, not to little... and what really sucks is i have a couple girls that are sick.. wilting and drooping really bad.. and i have NO idea why.. all 10 of the other girls are completely fine.. but 2 of my 12 girls (a super lemon haze and the bluehash) are looking like they wont make it another week....

but otherwise the girls look great.. the gigabud is going to have some sick fat buds.. same for the white shark and strawberry cough... im most excited to see the blueberry.. i think i should get 16 huge ass colas from her.. she bonsiaed herself so nicely during growth...

 

[simpsonsampson420]

here are some new pics.. its not quite a week yet... but you can see how lovely they filled out so far...

the very first pic is the day 1 flowering... today is like day 5...

also.. if anyone has an ideas on what the hell the problem with the two drooping plants are please feel free to shoot them out... i could use any ideas..

 

[simpsonsampson420]

so i've pretty much given up on the idea that the one super lemon haze and the blue hash plant are going to make it... i still cant figure out what the fuck is going on with them...

the roots are white and strong

the plants pulling in water.. even the shittiest part of the plant(s) are still moist...

im just chalking it up to... well i dont fucking know.. still searching for answers i guess..


the rest of the girls look great tho!! they are actually all starting to pack on little buds already... you cant really tell by the pics i posted.. so the next pics i take will be closer up... but they are...


i have another strange issue i could use some possible ideas about.. typically my ph will hold steady at 5.8 with little shift at all once adjusted...

since i switched to flowering nutes the ph has steadily increased .2 or so a day... still staying within range.. just closer to 6.2 instead of 5.8...

any ideas why?? could it be caused by specific nutes being absorbed that werent absorbed as much during veg growth??

 

[simpsonsampson420]

its been officially one week since i started 12/12.. well when the lights go off tonight it will be... already the girls are starting to pack on flowers... they are all about in the same place.. either starting to pack them on or just on the verge of it..

the blueberry already has resin production... it did a few days ago.. i may have said it... but if i didnt i did now...

took some new pics... since its been pretty quiet and not much activity in the journal i'll probably just stick with weekly posts for anyone who is still following along...

if you want to know which girl is which just ask the pic number and ill tell ya... not going to label them all...

the two sick ones are still sick.. i cant tell if they are going to make it or not.. hell i cant even figure out what is wrong with them... ill give em another week and if they havent improved they are gone... i still included pics of them.. just in case they turn around.. or someone has some idea of the problem..

maybe the hydrotron needs a good flushing itself bro. i just thought of that is it resuable or 1 grow type? and im still pissed at ya because we both did the flowering thing the same time and etc and you got formation i just got pistil play lol

 

[simpsonsampson420]

the hydroton is reuseable yeah.. but i think i might use coco coir after this grow.. or after a few grows.. its to much of a pain to clean..

and even at that the hydroton is ph neutral, leaves plenty of space for fresh air, retains just enough water, and gets flooded every flooding.. so during the "flush" or transition, whichever you want to call it, the hydroton was flushed as well... good idea tho...

sorry bro... dont hate me... lol

Nice journal! Seeing as how I'm working on the whole Ebb & Gro setup too I think i'll pull up a chair

bro only thing i can think of is disect the cube and see whats up inside because it could of possibly molded inside and not reach the top so that you can see and it might be molded at the base inside the cube then

glad to have you on board bro... always nice to see new faces.. got a lot of catching up to do.. but you picked the perfect time to join in.. just 1 week into flowering...

i dont think thats it.. i can see the stem where it would meet the cube (which has dissolved) and its fine... nothing there either...

waz growing on bro, how the hell have you been. things are great here buds in the green house are getting huge. im still hunting. 2 missis and 2hits. the hits really break my heart cuz they were both elks one being a bull and the other a cow.. very bad hits on my part..

 

[simpsonsampson420]

whats up brotha man!! was just thinking about how its been quite... you, tm, slip, the gang.. everyone seems to be gone..

things are great tho.. except for the 2 dead/semi-dead girls.. everything else is sick.. its definitely going to be the largest harvest i've had to date... which means my flower room isnt that far off!!


ive been thinking a lot about things and i think i am going to go with 600s instead of 1000s... mainly because the reflectors i want are 2 feet wide.. and my room is just over 6 ft wide.. so i can fit 2 rows of 3 across and end up with almost a solid canopy of light.. its either that or start with 4x1000s and add two more later.. i do like that idea the best tho.. 6000ws in a 9x9 room.. am i setting myself up for overkill there??

glad to hear things are good on your end.. i'd love to see the greenhouse with my own eyes.. i'm still working on lining things up to make it down.. but im afraid our harvest times are going to be about the same... so it might not be possible... if not we can always do some trading... i am still waiting to see them bitches completely full of buds...

did you miss those big ass elks or hit them?? if you hit them why be sad?? unless they got away.. then i could understand.. hopefully you still get that bear.. i want my rug damn it.. lol

[simpsonsampson420]
