Hi farm.

I’m starting a new grow

This run will be 3 blueberries from DP and 3 Purple Afghan Kush from Dinafem.

Some have been vegging for some time.

Some just started to wake up. What can i say but bad planning :)

The tent is just ready today (put the fixture together, lots of wiring) so these still haven’t been up potted and ready to showcase but i’ll get into the specifics in the future and will upload many many pics. :D

For now i can tell, i’ll veg them under 170 watts of brand new diy cobs and flower under 500w of brand new diy cobs. From 12” it gives out between 50K lux to 75K lux in an area of 3x4 (mostly on the higher end) when all lit up. The veg bar is giving 15K lux at about 2 feet away from the canopy. This is not the best readings because i haven’t got a high end luxmeter but buds getting 20K on my last grow turned out pretty nice so 15K should do it. Plus, i’m just acclimating them and the lights will go lower, t5s are so gentle.. the blueberry growed into one bulb, tips are browned, thats all.

This run they will be either in 1 gal or 2 gal pots with supersoil and drip irrigation. Covered with mulch. Feed if needed. Probably will need it but we’ll see.

I’m thinking of vegging 2 weeks max. Mostly because i wanna get clones so if there are any keepers i can CS the shit out them :)

Besides the light fixture and smaller pots it’ll be same equipment wise with my prior grow.

What did that tray run you? I’m trying to get 2 4x4 trays but ain’t dropping no hundreds of dollars on plastic trays. You run a net too right? I’m already stuck for this run cause I’m tied up in net but I’d like to find decent trays at decent price if you know a spot. Amazon is not the spot. I think it was like $200 a tray. And I should be working them in the net before I flip right? I got more nets Incase I need another above First attempt with a net. But they like it so far.

Half the root mass pruned.

Transplanted into 2 gal smart pots.

Cheap ass drip irrigation in place.

Mulched with pine barks.

I was a little hard on the Blueberry#1 when pruning the roots. I think it will recover. We’ll see. If not i already have 2 clones of it.

Blueberry #1 and PAK #2 AND #3 are topped.

PAK #1 is mainlined.

Blueberry #2 and #3 may get a topping or not. Its all about their vigor.

The soil is a rich one for sure. I don’t think i’ll burn them or anything but it may not be suitable for every plant.

Soil mix;

Biobizz light-mix
Biobizz coco-mix
Plagron bat-mix
Worm castings
Bat guano (3-15-4 and 1-10-1)
Neem cake (5-1-1)
Gk complete organics (2-5-3)
Activated carbon soaked in (banana fpe, alfalfa fpe, re-veg fpe, molasses, biobizz alg-a-mic, biobizz fish-mix)
Spirulina
Stinging nettle seeds (ground)
Perlite
Zeolite
Pumice
Lava stones

This is my first time with some of these amendments so we’ll see how it plays out.

Are you sure you didn't forget anything in that mix,lol.can you point me in the right direction on where to get some of these amendments . The only ones I can find local to Me is earthworm castings, bonemeal, and blood meal, and lime. It seems like you got a very good mix going there.

Well fpes are home made. Biobizz products i just still couldn’t finished them from prior grows. Every other thing is ordered off the net :)
We’ll see how it does. Your mix with added neem and karanja meal and watering with molasses every or every other watering should give very good results.
And yes i forgot i added diatomaceous earth too :D
