My 600W Grow Blueberry Gum; Seedsman Seeds white widow; Lowryder easy Ryder; Humboldt

My Setup Is As Follows

i have a 600w digilux metal halide bulb running on a digital ballast
a complete mylar covered room
humidity/temp meter
Floralicious plus, flora grow/ bloom/ micro, flora blend, and botanicare sweet
Sunshine #4 mix, with added vermiculite
and tap water with a base ppm of 60 ( i live near lake superior some of the best tap water in the world )
a 240 cfm fan cooling the light and creating suction in the room which blows on the plants
a tray full of water for humidity (which right now is resting at 30 trying to find ways to get that up)
and i keep the temp at a solid 75 degrees

Here are pics, ill keep updates as i go along, Any Comments would be great

Looks good so far. I'd raise that light up about 12 inches as it doesn't need to be that close.

Plants generally look healthy but they're either under or over watered. Are you waiting too long between waterings or not long enough? Pic 6 and 8 are the ones I'm talking about.

Also, you can get up to 80* with no concerns and I actually llike to be in the mid to low 80's for veg and flower since the plants will transpire more at slightly higher temps.

i might have waited to long i think, these pics are bbefore i watered and i think all the soil was completely dried out (maybe even in the middle)
i would have watered noticing this but i have been out of town a few days, so my buddy was supposed to

Update, the one flowering is the blueberry gum, my buddy left the timer on 10/14 thinking he put it on 16/8 for some reason and it had a week of the wrong time .... so its budding i changed it back to veg and they should be going nice; just got in my new nutes dynagro gro/bloom and protekt; i flushed all the plants and setup a co2 generator in the room; lots of improvements so the next updates going to look alot better then this one but this is how its going so far enjoy

Lookin' good!

thanks! got my watering on squedual so no more droopy plants

have an update for later today!!
there SO beautiful now since the new nutes and bulb, zero discoloration and massive growth

Sweet! Where did that update go?

oh man im sorry, i wish i had ur number to tell you the huge amount of shit i just went through with my grow/ entire op, but i now have a new and even BETTER setup; much more room/height/ width , better control of the environment, completely new location ( long story short other location was going to get busted so i had to move them fast!) better air circulation, a co2 burner coming in in the next week or so, and i just watered using dynagro grow/bloom/protekt so ill see how they react to that!
Ill have an update roughly five pm tommorow, seven at the latest sorry for the wait

Update! finally got some pics to show; growing nice and fast in some of these the metal halide on the camera makes them look a bit yellow but i assure there is zero yellow on these leaves; only concern is the second picture looks a little droopy at the tips might have been stress from the move any suggestions ? tell me what you think so far

ALSO i just fimmed the ones without buds, so the tops look chopped but if you look close you can see the new four colas growing

Green and lush! Keep them like that until harvest and you'll be in for a real treat! Well done so far.

!!! so excited thank you; all this hard works finally paying off not saying i didnt enjoy doing it!

starting to get some bud action pictures are not very clear the crystals look alot better in person, my camera has troubles getting the crystals untill i get my magnifying glass this is the best i can do, but here they are ! i had to take these while under the lights, currently have a 600w MH and a 150w HPS, under these lights the leaves look yellowish but there actually a very nice green color like picture 2

Yeah, those are looking real nice.

thanks! im surprised that they arent huge yet though, i expected bigger buds by now but will having the light schedual on 18/6 stunt the budding although there already in the bud cycle? i wanted the rest of my plants to keep vegging so i left them on 18/6, i just recently changed an hour each day towards 12/12 u think this will add swell? i also just changed the 600w MH to a 600w HPS today

UPDATE!! seems homebrewers the only one following but whatever i dont mind posting just for you buddyy



these are a few days ago, starting to fatten up i guess but i expected fatter buds by now

What day are those at?

i honestly have no clue, these ones started flowering before the others and i never really got a chance to record the date ive just been watching the crystals/ hairs/ swell to see when to harvest
but i think there near harvest and not near as fat as i was expecting

hopefully theres atleast 2 or 3 weeks left on em, more would be better

when do you start counting the date of flowering anyways? first hairs or what

They look to be between 30 and 40 days old and looking very nice. Keep up the good work!

I start my flowering count from the day i switch to 12/12.

Wow dude, you've really come along really well. Are those nutrients you're using organic?
