Thanks for the compliments bro, I think I trained it good :D

I just took care of them the day before yesterday and I haven't seen 1 gnat since then, plus my buds are getting bigger compared to 3 days ago so I'm sure there dead. Even the Blue seedlings are growing alot since I sprayed so there all dead.

I'm gonna give it 1 more spray next week just to be safe ;)

Sweet looking she is!! Should be some tight nugs for sure!!

Last round I grew her I vegged for 3 weeks, bulb kept going out just like this time and she revegged around wk 5 of 12/12, but she still came out kinda good. So I could just imagine what she'll end up like without any revegging and a full bloom cycle :)

 

[LexLuthor]

^^^^Oh yeah, including all those negative issues I stated above with my last run, I also didn't train her and keep the canopy even, so with all those factors involved I'll be shocked if I don't get twice the yield this harvest the 1st week in August. Also, I'm growing in soil, so don't expect 1 lb with 1 plant under a 600w. Yeah its possible with hydro and coco, but with soil its very hard, a few good thing about growing in soil is the tremendous versatility, ease of use, easy outdoor capabilities, and much, much more I cant think of off the top of my head.

 

[neverbreak]

i'm sure ya will end up with a decent harvest regardless bro!

Thanks bro, I'm having issues with my Blueberry's and I really hope I get my new 600w bulb soon so I can get those Blueberry's under them floros. I'll post pics of the Blueberry's once they start looking better.

Update day 31 flower Big Bang,

Wud up ya'll, I woke up early yesterday and took a couple pics to do an update and I couldn't get on the Farm, not sure if anyone else had the same problems. The Big Bang is looking good, I wish I had another 1 of her in there to increase my yield, I'm never growing 1 plant at a time indoors ever again. I started giving her water every other day and this last time was 3 tsp/gallon TB + 2 tsp/gallon KB. I would estimate the ppm's to be around 1000, give or take a few hundred. Heres 2 shitty cell phone pics:

There starting to fill in nicely and its about the same bud growth rate as the last bitch I grew, so there not plump yet but they will be within a few weeks :) Also all the tops are about even and there are a lil over 20 main tops and about 8-10 smaller tops underneath that you really can't see in the picture.

Update day 19 veg Blueberry,

These fucking plants, I just can't catch a break ya'll, they still look like fucking 5 day old seedlings and I dropped 2 of them last night when moving them from the flower room. This is how it happened, I have a door to my bedroom that is the only door in the house thats messed up, when I open it more then half way it gets stuck on the carpet. So instead of moving 3 plants, then 2 I decided to move all 5 at the same time (bad decision) so I'm holding them in a tray with 1 hand like a pizza pie and trying to close my bedroom door at the same time, but the door won't close without me yanking real hard because it got stuck on the carpet....so I yanked once and the cups started wobbling, so I steadied myself and tried again, a lil harder this time and BOOM they went crashing down, semi-wet soil all over the fucking carpet and 2 of them basically broke from there root ball. I went ahead and watered them in new soil and fed all of them 1 tsp/gallon Grow Big. I also moved them in a new area under the 3 floros so they can stay there nice and safe 18 hours a day, no more fucking moving shit. Heres the pics:

The second pic is the new home, a few of the leaves are retarded and that 1 small plant looks really fucking retarded, but thats normal for Blueberry, from what I read. Anyways I started 5 more Blueberry seeds and only 4 popped so wish me luck on all my Blueberry plants because I'm gonna need it, maybe it was the fungus gnats or I just got a bad crop or something, but these bitches don't like to grow for some reason or another. Everybody talks shit about GreenHouse and thats the Big Bang, she looks better then most plants from other seedbanks including these down syndrome Blueberry plants. Maybe my next batch will come along nicely, if not, them I'm never buying shit from that seedbank that sold me the Blueberry again.

Update day 22 veg Blueberry and 5 new Blueberry seedlings,

I just did an update a few days ago, but the 5 Blueberry's are looking alot better since I put them under the floros, so I just wanted ya'll to see them and my 5 new Blueberry seedlings I that just broke the surface 5-6 days ago. The 1st pic is of the new seedlings, the 2nd pic is of the older plants that this thread is about, I know there still really small for being over 3 wks old, but considering how they looked a few days ago and all the shit they've been through (fungus gnats, dropped on the floor, sitting next to a window sill for a week), I really like the progress I see. Out of these 10 BB plants I still don't know how many are female, I want to put 4 females in my flower room as soon as my current plant is done, around August 1st, then any extra females (if I have any extra) are going outdoors. I wanna put the indoor 4 females in hempy buckets and I also wanna take a clone or 2 from 1 female and pollinate them with 1 of my males, outdoors of course, well anyways here are the pics and I'll update my Big Bang next week and her buds are getting bigger everyday, can't wait til I chop that bitch down :cool:

I fuckin hate dropping seedlings,sucks,a bro i started using those sticky ass fly glue traps/grey duck tape around my seedlings,and im catching sum of them fuckrs(at night they fly towards tha light,im sure u know,just sayn)

Update day 29 Blueberry (1-4) veg and day 12 new blueberry (5-8) seedlings,

First off, I wanna let ya'll know that 1 plant from the 1st 5 would not grow, it just would NOT GROW!!!!! For real ya'll, that shit was super duper retarded, so I fucking culled it, killed it, whatever the fuck you wanna call it. So for now on I'm gonna talk about my old BB's as 1-4 and my new BB's as 5-8. The reason I don't have 5 new seedlings anymore is basically the same reason as the other one, it would not fucking grow, all my new seedlings are looking healthy as fuck and growing great except for 1 of them, that shit was all yellow and it was the size of a 2 day old seedling, but it was fucking over a week old!! This is my first time growing Blueberry so I have no idea if there supposed to be so fucking slow and retarded, but thats what I've seen so far. I have grown many plants and I have gotten bag seeds that were better then these fucking BB's, they better be some banging ass smoke or I'm gonna be pissed for wasting my time on this shit.

Sorry for the rant.....Ok, lets get to the BB's, the 1st pic is of 1-4, they look good (compared to the last update) and I just Topped them yesterday and pruned them too, so there is only 6 main branches. The 2nd pic is of 5-8 and they look "ok" for seedlings that are almost 2 weeks old, I really ain't been doing much with all of them except feeding 1-4 1-2 tsp/g FF Grow Big like twice a week and 5-8 have been getting nothing but plain water.

New plan, I got 2 female Big Bang plants that are about 4' tall and considering the growth of these Blueberry's, I'm just gonna take clones from the outdoor females and use them for my hempy buckets after I harvest my indoor Big Bang around the 1st week of August. Then I'll put all 8 Blueberry plants outdoors and let them do work. I'll obviously have to cull the males and water them, but I honestly believe they will grow better outdoors, because they fucking suck right now and I"m not wasting my hempy buckets on some down syndrome plants. I got the rockwool in the mail so I should have it by Monday, once I get the cubes I'm going to my outdoor sight and taking 6 cuttings, I'm gonna let them root and veg until my indoor girl is done around August 4-6 then I'll put the clones in the flower room.

Aight ya'll, I'll give an update on my blooming bitch tomorrow, she looking good and the buds are getting bigger. Thanks everyone for viewing my thread and I'll see ya'll later.

 

[PokaToka]

sounds good man. lookin good too. u said u topped them and pruned them. whats some of ur prunning techniques if u dont mind me asking? how did u get that big bang stalks soo thick? was she regenerated or something? that thing is huge.... looking good man keep it up

Thanks bro I'm trying my best with the limited resources I have available :) For topping and training, I top around the 4th-6th node and remove all branches so there are only 4-6 main branches. As they grow I just tie down the main branches so they grow horizontally and if any branches get too tall I just Top it. The Big Bang stalk is just like that, she is about 80% indica and is a bushy bitch (naturally). I grew her out from seed in a mostly-organic soil I amended myself with organic fertilizers (blood meal, bone meal, ect.), I gave her 5 weeks veg from seed and now she's on her 6th week of flower. Her buds would be alot bigger if my indoor temps weren't above 80 F for the past couple weeks :( but I'm gonna take clones from my outdoor ladies and keep her going because she is so easy to grow and it takes minimal training to create such a wide and even canopy (I'll post pics tomorrow). Anyways thanks for the good vibes and I hope everyone enjoys.

Sounds freakin good dude.thanks for the info on ur pruning, thats a good little routine to keep in mind.ima try it out.. Cant believe that big bang stalk was that big. that plant on page 1 is that ur older mother or the big bang ur flowering? lookin good on day 31 should be a very good yield!! cant wait

 

[LexLuthor]

Thanks man, yeah those pruning and training techs really work greak for keeping your canopy even so all the bud sites get almost the same amount of light. No mother, shes the same one that was in the earlier posts, she looked good on day 31, but like I said her buds would be bigger if it wasn't for my temps getting so high. I honestly believe how much light your plants get and the environment (temps, RH, ventilation, ect.) have alot more to do with bigger yields then the nutrient company you use, but so many people (mostly noobs) think they can get 8 different bottles of AN nutes and there gonna get huge yields...hahaa. I'm hoping for a good yield, but next run I know I can double this yield because I'm going hydro and I'm growing 4-6 plants instead of 1, which will give me more canopy space and also cut down alot on veg time. Right now the Big Bang's canopy is almost 2'x2' wide which leaves alot of space around her for more plants/canopy space. So with more plants I'll cut veg time at least 1 week and I'll be able to fill in the wasted space to catch all those light rays from my 600w ;)

Update day 43 flower Big Bang and new clones,

Wud up ya'll, the only thing new is I just took 6 clones from my outdoor girls which are also Big Bang. I rigged it up so they are sitting in a pan of warm water (ghetto heat mat) with a plastic bag over them (ghetto humidity dome). The reason I don't have anything, except rockwool cubes, to clone is because I never did before and it was something I just thought of doing like a week ago because of how slow the Blueberry plants were growing. If it's a bad idea to put the bucket there in inside a shallow pan of warm water them let me know, but it seems like it'll be ok. Some of the clones are slot smaller then others, which I didn't think about until after I put them in the cubes, but as long as they survive there gonna even out once they go in my hempy buckets. The Big Bang in flower is looking good, I'm gonna let her go at least 56 days, maybe a little longer depending on how she looks. There are alot more tops compared to what the picture shows, but I just snapped a quick one with my shitty cell phone camera. Wish me luck on these clones, I'm gonna need it :eek: The 1st pic is of 3 clones, the 2nd pic is of the flowering Big Bang.

 

[LexLuthor]

Oh yeah, another thing, my outdoor girls are smelling skunky as fuck and they haven't even started to flower yet :) and 1 of my Blueberry plants has a really nice fruity skunk smell, so I hope its a female and I'll definately take clones if it is. Thanks for viewing and if anybody has any tips on cloning, let me know, I'm a rookie when it comes to clones.

 

[WattSaver]

I wouldn't have the RW cubes in standing water. They should be moist and you can have a slight skim of water in the tray. Keep temp of everything between 75 & 80. And if you can mist the inside of your bag/getto dome without soaking the clones, it will help keep the humidity up.

Did you use any rooting hormone powder or gel?? It helps a bunch
