Heywood's Blueberry Muffin #10 indoor soil grow

[growsince79]

May as well do a grow diary since there's not much else going on at the moment.

These are Blueberry Muffin #10 crossed/bred by Humboldt seed company.
Razzleberry x Purple Panty Dropper x Blueberry.
2017 Emerald Cup winner.

The clones were grown by DarkHeart Nursery and distributed by Harborside dispensary in Oakland.
I am just getting back into growing for something productive to do, so I am only growing 2 at the moment.
This is under a new Spider Farmer SE5000 LED (480W)
Lights on 24/7

This is a soil grow in 7 gal fabric pots using FoxFarms Happy Frog.
Using RO water that I get from my local Walmart for 39 cents a gallon
All watering/feedings are PH'd to ~6.3 - 6.5 using Up/Down

Nutrients are Mission Organic nutes
MykosWP
Generic fish/kelp fert
CalMag+
MammothP
Earthworm castings
.....and for (organic) pest control if needed:
Capt Jack's Deadbug (Foliar spray)
SNS 209 (Systemic)
Monterey Garden Insect Spray RTU - in case of caterpillars in flowering

And my lighting setup is a bit funky. The first 2 weeks of their veg was only under the T3 lights as I didn't have the Spider Farmer yet. When I got the Spider Farmer, I put it in place and removed the T3 fixture altogether. I had the Spider Farmer at about 24" and only at 40% power. The plants hated it and began to droop pretty quickly. Temps/humidity were not the issue. It never went over 77F and humidity is always between 45 -55%. So I raised the Spider Farmer up to 36" but the plants remained unhappy. I then put the T3's back in place underneath the Spider Farmer as seen in the below pic and they responded quickly and perked right back up. So, this is how it stays until I go into flower. Then the T3's go away and the plants are just going to have to deal with the Spider Farmer. Different hormones kicking in then, so maybe they won't be such spoiled princesses.

Just a couple of pics of a hot chick showing off her goodies from this morning. Middle of week 4 of flower.
I think she is about to start stacking...

First day of week 5 at lights-on.
Starting to drop the temps a few degrees now each week.
This strain is typically 7-8 weeks flowering.
Think I will also start shortening the amount of light by 10 minutes at the start of each coming week.

A couple of flower pics from today. Trichs are building up nicely.
Moved from the Mission "Bloom" nutrients to the Mission "Boost" nutrients as recommended for the last half of the flowering stage.

Steadily progressing. Middle of week 5 they are starting to bulk up a little bit.
Peeking in on the trichomes as well. Still 3 or 4 weeks to go...

Looks great! Probably starting to get that muffins smell, I would definitely do some again if I got the seeds/cuts. Here's what mine looked like dry and pre-trim. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing that Mooses! What a beautiful bud.

It's funny about the smell... in the grow room you don't really pick up on it, but walking around the house you hit these little pockets of... Oh my Gawd that smells so good!... Then it's gone. Pretty soon the smell will be steadily everywhere... It will be awesome.

The muffins reeks, every time I walked by my exhaust fan outside of my room it was a blast of blueberry candy smell. I don't have any pics of when they were up but here's a few more on the day I cut em down. Definitely some quality buds, I'm jelly wish I still had the genetics.

Thanks for dropping in to say hello! Fire them beans up... you won't regret it!

 

[Heywood]

I thought I'd go 3 or 4 more days before I updated the pics here, but holy crap... the trichomes are really packing on.
It is now just an amazing smell throughout the entire house. Yeah, I get the sweet bakery type smell.
I just need these gals to start stacking and packing some weight on now...

 

[Heywood]

Beginning of week 6.
Frostier and bulkier.

I know right?! I have been lagging on running them, thats for sure. Thank you for replying and the encouraging words. Ive heard some people talk very good about Blueberry Muffins, while at the same time there are others that say that its not that good. But when i ask why, they usually just say that its not that high in thc or something. But they all say that the smell is strong and does smell like Blueberries and Muffins, and that it does carry through on the taste.
Would you agree? 🤔

Bbm is a smaller yielder, you won't get those super fat 2g/w yields from the beastie strains but the quality is what makes up for it.

The best comparison I have heard about the BBm is like a jiffy muffin straight out of the oven. Pretty accurate to the flavor.

Hey Sparks - @Mostlymooses got the answers in there for you.
I am still in the grow process so I don't know yet... but it sure does smell amazing in the house though right now.

Start of week 7.
Not a lot going on. Pretty much on auto-pilot right now.
Cleaned up some of the yellowed leaves. Keeping an eye on the trichomes each day.

Looking sweet, Heywood! Those Altoids popped no problem! You gonna run them? Probably a dumb question. Who doesn’t run free seeds? L O L

Hey Chucky - Good to hear you got those Altoids underway. They'll be my next run, but I'm going to wait a few months for the hot weather to pass or else my AC would be cranking 24/7.

This is the beginning of week 8.
Starting to see some tinges of purple in the buds.
Probably going to be a 9 week strain.
