phew!!! i've already had to rebuild their 'house', repotted them and flipped em and they went nuts, like 2ft stretch in less than 3weeks, im all outta room now tho so tying is only option unless they get top heavy and 'bend' themselves, maybe with some manipulation from 'moi'. lol
was beginning to get worried as they seemed like they didnt wanna kick into flower, kinda more relaxed about em now but still think they'll be 9 weekers as opposed to the 8 i thought they were. I'll still scope em from day 56 though. pleasure to be here, looked all over for someone else growing this strain, looks like its just the two of us...
my other strain atm is belladonna from paradise seeds but im also watching your blueberrygum as blueberry is my favourite strain of all time and i also smoked bubblegum out in the dam a few years back and also last high times cup and liked this too. i have a pineapplegum bean but its an auto and all my current are photo plus im outta room pmsl. My plan is to grow her, a Think Different and an Auto Mazar in 75L dustbins in my greenhouse in the summer, anyway, thats a future journal "My first Auto and outdoor grow" lol. sorry to harp on, got a bit carried away then just typing about them, the things this plant does to you and yes, im stoked....

i think theyre done stretchin. They look like theyre bulking now. If your having problems w height make yourself a 2x4 frame to go under the tent. All i can think of like three high or if your outside pile up a dirt hill around it and put a 2x6 down around to level it. All i can think of. Youve got a couple of heavy ones looks like and some light ones too. They must be from seed cause they look like a couple different phenos if theyre all WXB. They look great though, what was the veg time?

Ya, and i dont know my ass from a hole in the wall lol i found these little ones sprouting in my garage lol. I had written them off and i found em sprouted lmao....i dropped em back under the light next to some jalaps. Idk what they are yet, could be bonzai trees but i doubt it, look like peppersoh and welcome to the thread...nice to have some new avatars here...seems pretty dead besides Ninja

No, i ment the tomato, didnt you crush one a while back and have it come back to life?

yeah they're all ww x bb and all from seed, hence the different pheno's. they were only vegged for 3 weeks but 2 weeks into flower i knew i was gonna have height issues.

ok yeah i did its doing good now....im still fighting low CO2 levels i believe so need to figure something out with that...but everything seems to be doing fine with the exception of my green bean plant which is yellowing pretty badly...No, i ment the tomato, didnt you crush one a while back and have it come back to life?

welcome aboard man...im thinking i may combat my CO2 problems with mushrooms lol....wonder if you can get a spore print from a store bought portebella or shitake?
i just want the mycelium to create CO2 for my plants.

I don't know about portebellas but shitakes need a culture syringe. I don't think they drop spores like cubensis. Shitake are slower fruiting, it would be at least 3 months before you saw fruits.
there are easier ways, here's an interesting approach. http://forum.grasscity.com/do-yourself/1020849-awesome-paintball-co2-rig.html

you can take clones from fresh mushrooms at the market. take a cut of the inner flesh of the fruit in a sterile environment and place it on agar.

you think the mycelium will let off enough CO2?

matt I have seen kits to grow oysters at home depot 20 bucks for a (probably sterilized) bag of substrate and oyster genetics which I imagine are in the form of a spore syringe. I've kinda been thinking about getting one shooting the bag up with cubes and just sitting on the oyster genetics for a bit. But in exchange for time rather than money I can just load and PC more jars.

Alright heres some pics and a nice large update. I watered everything yesterday, no nutes but i did dissolve some lime and watered it in again....hoping this is the last time i have to water in lime. Plant problems i was having last week are still spreading so im hoping that stops soon as well. Figure once i get the PH back up in the neutral range the problems should go away.
Just ended week 3 of flower and were going into week 4 things are looking pretty good. buds are starting to develope nicely, hoping in 2 weeks i can really see what the buds charecteristics are going to be.
still fighting CO2 issues in my veg room so im going to see about putting it down stairs in the basement where CO2 levels are ultimatly higher since CO2 is a heavier than O2 and usually found in low points.
DWC is doing great...its about as big as all my other plants due to the size of the 5 gal bucket, still stretching a bit and hasnt quite gone into flowering mode. im really enjoying the hydro, much more so than soil...they say soil is more forgiving which may be true but soil is also more of a PITA to correct problems like PH issues. once i start working im going to be starting to invest in supplies to do a 2x 12 site RDWC one in 5 gal buckets and the other in 2 or 3 gal buckets (one for the flower room one for the veg tent) need to find some buckets that will fit 12 into my veg tent, may only be 1 gal but that should be plenty large enough to veg in..
anyways...on with the pics...i have taken lots and i took seperate pics of each of the FCJ plants
first up will be the Blueberry Gum in the DWC

Here is the Kandy Kush, this plant has had a really tough life but seems to be doing really well, not going to be a huge yeilder and is not going to be a keepr strain..
View attachment 2583749View attachment 2583750View attachment 2583751View attachment 2583752
heres the White lavender.. this prob wont be a keeper strain as it seems to have a really bad leaf:bud ratio.
View attachment 2583757View attachment 2583758View attachment 2583759
Heres the Critical Kush...lovely plant, doing well. not as much resin production as i would like to see at this stage but not horrible either.
Heres one of the bigger Fruity Chronics...this strain will always have a place in my grow room. I think i lucked out with the free bean i got and got a really good pheno. im loving the way it bushes and all the tops even though thats more because of it being a re veg than actual charecteristics of the strain....excellent smoke and a fast flowering strain with lots of early resin production....will never get rid of it.
White Widow x Big Bud, i like this strain..getting frosty already...it may be one of my keepers.
another Fruity Chronic Juice
Blue OG, another really nice plant that may end up being a keeper.
and the Blueberry Gum in soil...this will probabally be my keepr pheno from the BBG, when the Hydro one is done i may pop another one just to see how it turns out. i think this is going to be a large yeilder.
And another Fruity Chronic Juice
And the last Fruity Chronic Juice...this will be the top yeilder of the 4
and last and least the old timers bagseed plant that he started last spring and clones have made it in the grow room this long...the last of these genetics...no more bagseeds in my grow room, when i have almost 30 different genetics kicking around i dont think theres a need to be growing random bagseeds...its a waste of resources in my opinion.
and heres a group shot and a shot of my workbench
and some veg tent pics and some pics of the newcomers to the party...Purple Haze and Pineapple Express sprouts, the auto blue mammoth is in the 3 gal fabric pot
Hope you guys enjoy this weeks update sorry this journal isnt verry interesting seems like after the first few grows when you get your shit together theres not alot to really discuss...any questions or commensts are always welcome.
