okay so I was moving some crap around my shop for winter a couple weeks back..(its -5c and snowing right now) and I found some seed man blueberry fem seeds that i got as freebies a few years back.. not really thinking of growing anything this winter i had nothing thought out and didn't really have the supplies to be doing anything proper.
I dug around and found my old grow tent and a first gen cxa 3070 set up ive used for several grows before. it pumps out about 20,000Lm using 2 cxas driven at 2.23 amps and 47v . (107W's) ish each chip 3000K.
my tent on the other hand is a 2x4. and I think it needs more light... Id like something 4000-5000K ish and the cheapest thing per lumen i can come up with is are those LED t5 tubes. you can get 24W 3000L tubes for 24 bucks each...
but if anyone has a better way to get 10,000Lm's for around 100 bucks im willing to listen.
the plants are currently in 5gal buckets with promix organic vegetable and herb mix. the fertilizer it has is fairly weak and only fortifies what you add to it.
as for nutes.. im gonna do a highly modified Lucas method. using
gh maxi bloom, GH micro, mycomadness maximum, botanicare pure blend tea, something called Biostrath. also a little epsom salt. and near the last 3 weeks a tiny bit of koolbloom.
ppm's will be adjusted as per what the plant tells me. ph will also be kept between 5.3 and 6.7.
im not expecting much.. but the plants seem to be growing fairly fast and at 2 weeks old they look like others that are at 3 weeks. pretty good for 4 year old seeds.
yeilds.. if i got 4 oz off one plant with just my cxa's then 5 to 6 oz a plant with added light should be a good goal.
its just 2 plants btw.
