hey all im new to this forum but not new to growing. well, kinda... this is my 3rd grow i am on right now. it started last october when i bought 5 clones from a friend, blueberry x bigbud. i grew 4 of them out over winter, and kept one for a mother. the mother didnt quite make it so i got 4 good clones off it, will grow a new mother, 2 plants, and a mother for my friend. the last 4 plants were harvested last few days of january, and the 5 ounces i got off it were gone about a week and a half later. i gave some away tho... still smoked A LOT! :bong: it was some good ****, but it could have been a lot better. when i originally got my clones, they were really stretched and underfed, so the final yield was not so great. these new clones were in big pots from the start, and had a really good nutrient lineup from the start (details later). there is only 2 plants that will flower, and i only got to veg them for 3 1/2 weeks (+1 week under insufficient fluoro), so we'll see how it turns out. i will keep the mother and start a really good grow when i move out of this house at the end of april, which is why i can only veg for 3 1/2 weeks. flowering time should be 65 days based on the last grow, so i'll be chopping on my last day in this house.
the pictures below show the grow from the beginning of february, which is when it pretty much started.
for my soil, i used:
Generic soil (cheap, stay away from cheap soil!)
Vermiculite
Perlite
Blood & Bone Meal
and my nutrient lineup:
HiGrow Superior Blend A+B (Grow & Bloom)
Advanced Nutrients (A.N) Sensi Zym
A.N Grandma Enggy's Fulvic Acid F-1
A.N Sensi Cal-Mag Mix
Botanicare 'Sweet'
Gen. Hydro KoolBloom Liquid 10-10-10 (didn't seem to work so well, so i got the powder for this flowering period)
Gen. Hydro KoolBloom Powder 2-45-28
A.N Final Phase (for flushing)
i mix up 30 L batches of nutrient solution and store it in my Rubbermaid tub with an airstone and fishtank airpump.
i never had a pH tester to use for my previous grows, so i also ordered a Hannah temp/pH combo tester off ebay and im still waiting for that, along with a hygrometer.
temps in the growbox (which i built, 4'x4'x4', 2"x4" frame with white particle-board sides; cheap and very effective) run around 80 F during the day, dont know what they go to at night. I don't have any actualy fans for ventilation, but i leave one side open all day so its not much of a problem.
can't think of anything else at the moment, lights are on 22/2 for max light before flowering, and this saturday night will be the first 12 hour darkness for the plants.
on to the pics!
enjoy! :bong:
