OK , So.... 3 things that could have made this month better. Spider mites,mold and fire. I had PH issues because I ran out of reference fluid, then the batteries went dead.Should have just mixed and fed as Blue Planet always buffers between 5.8 and 6.0 depending on the strength of the mixture. So I get that all under wraps and blow a bulb, I dont have a hydro store nearby so that was fun especially the part where my RH ran up into the constant 70+ %. Then there was the open pollination. Needless to say I have not been having a real fun time.Anyways I have all the fires put out and I am ready to do some more growing.
This is the group that started Blue Planet after an initial 10 days of GH.
AK-47
Northern Lights
Not bad for zero veg huh. Right out of the gate Blue Planet has already given me a larger harvest than GH did, and thats with a load of issues. Cant wait to see a clean run. I have developed a new game plan which I will be initiating this week. I am building a small veg area where I can put starts for the first 3-7 days until they start their growth explosion. Ak and Critical both need this as I have ended up with alot of stunted plants from these 2 strains.
Also I am going to start making runs of no more than 2 strains at a time. Its just too much to keep up with 4-5 strains in the same cycle and I believe I will improve my yields this way as I will have more time and opportunity to learn which strains like what, versus tossing a generic feed schedule at 5 strains and hoping they all like it.This journal has not shaped out exactly as I had intended,but I hope some of you take Blue Planet seriously. I have been thouroghly impressed by the products and at less than half the cost of GH I definitely have a new keeper so give em a try, you wont be disappointed.
Here is a fresh batch on day 3
Be cool everyone
