Thank you for answering my questions, well and the way you take the time to answer everyones questions.

I'd sure like a 1920x1080 image just showing the giant wall of weed like from the view of the bulb to use as my windows wallpaper... (You don't actually have to try to do this, it would require too much work and a tripod and may not even be possible to get much at that distance, I was just thinking out loud.) What I really want to do is just stand there in person.

Hi there Heath Ive not heard from you In ages (the person who couldnt get those blueberry seeds to grow, you know the person who you gave out those sour diesel seeds to, the one with the 3 chamber cabinet...? Ahh never mind). Well since youve been gone youll be happy to hear that my last seed grew in to a mother plant & I took my first ever cuttings a couple of weeks ago. I even made some modifications to the cab even though Ive never used a power drill or jigsaw (inspired by you of course).
Anyway I can see your back with a new shiny setup, its looking great as always.

I have a few questions regarding you current grow the first one is about thae dam; I see that you have used an adhesive to join the semi-circle piece of plastic (which to me looks like it was once part of an aquafarm he he he) to the inner pipe, what is the brand & type of adhesive? As I need something which is water & light tight.

In post No. 114 you mentioned to "holmes" that you use different bulbs of full spectrum of Kelvin ratings, could you tell me which brands of bulbs you prefer to use.

Sorry for the long questions but it certainly helps me gain knowledge for my next grow, this is the last one: When it comes to nutrients how do you best identify or decide which set of nutrients will work best for your setup & how do you manage to keep the plants so nice & green & issue free? I Dont mean to be cheeky :lol:

Hello again *wave*. Heath uses the same nutes as me Vita Link good sh*t iv been using them for years now with exellent results. they are 2 part A+B each= grow and bloom.

1/2 strenth hydro is 2mill A+B
for use on soil is the same 2mill A+B every other watering
full strenth hydro= 4mill A+B.

know your plants! because not all plants need the same.

p.s
sorry for jumping in Heath:joint:

At the moment Im using Biobizz grow for my mother plant which is in soil & ionic grow/bloom/boost for my clones which is in my "4 pot Atami Wilma drip system" (I think I already mentioned that in our previous conversation).
Speaking of knowing your plants can you share a little input on The Blueberry strain please (DJ short from Dutch Passion), Im always have leaf issues with the mother plant & now the clones :roll:

SayWord, MCD, dutchfunkle, Thundercat, greenfirekilla, homebrew420, Funkysmell, purplekitty, and DubB83, great to have your comments and thanks for sticking with the grow.


Hi merahoon, I am hoping for 40+ Oz.


Lol OregonMeds, I spend plenty of time just looking at it myself.


pillarize, I would probably get more leaf and bud.


Hi HappySack, creative thinking to use a ball valve, but on this system it wouldn’t work as a ball valve restricts flow and the dams don’t they just set the liquid level in the tube.


Hey 9inch bigbud, Nothing wrong with the trees in fact I am doing another one in about 8 weeks time. And yes I am like a kid in a sweetshop when I am in Wickes! lol.


Hi iloveit, good to hear you have mastered taking cuttings and power tools, there is no hope for you now as your life will be taken over constructing new things!

The adhesive is silicone sealer, if you want to make sure that you are buying the right type you can use the stuff they make glass fish tanks out of as its non toxic and lasts forever.

I have the full range of the new MH sunpulse bulbs but on this grow I am using my tried and tested Growlux hps bulbs.

Contrary to what the nutrient manufacturers want you to believe they are pretty much all the same, I am using Vitalink on this grow but I also use Canna and Ionic which is the easiest to use as it is a one part nutrient.

The plants stay green because for the first two or three weeks of flower I keep them on veg nutrients to stop premature yellowing and leaf drop at the end of the grow.

The health of the plants depends on many factors but important ones to consider are ventilation, cool nutrient temps, making sure the roots have plenty of dissolved oxygen, and don’t over feed the plants I typically feed at an EC of 1.2.

The Blueberry is a light feeder so you should check that you haven’t over fed her.



Ok here we are at week 5 of 12/12 and everything is running ok.
