Looking good, same size as mine were at that age. Make sure that enviro is 1 to 3 inches away to keep her compact. I'll be watching. ; )

Day 13 of 18/6 today. Just going to do another 8 days of 18/6 then i will be switching her over to 12/12 and putting a screen in ready for the stretch.

I'm currently having a few problems I think it may be due to my watering. I am watering every 2-3 days with around 200ml of water. The leaves are fine for a day or so and then they begin to wilt late on the second day or early on the third day since watering.

I am only using plain tap water. Temps are 74f with lights on 68f with them off. Could it be the pH? Overwatering? Underwatering? What you guys reckon?

hey stealthhawk, i love what you're doing. i have a couple of recommends.

i usually say 18/6 lights because i'm interested in natural root development. but with you're small space for the roots, i believe 24/0 is the right time. but MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH DRAINAGE HOLES for that space. usually soil is open to the elements and the fan blows over it and helps to dry it out. roots NEED the soil to dry out for good breaths of oxygen. your soil is covered and so it needs to dry out faster; so you need more drain holes. and be sure that your water is reaching the farthest parts of soil if it is dry, the roots wont grow in there.

also, try to veg for 8 weeks. its tough, but with scrog or LST you can do it. if you veg for less (from seed) your seedling will not be a mature enough plant to give you the THC potency it is rated for. you dont want to work so long and hard for less then full potency.

good luck.

What he said, apart from vegging for 8 weeks that's way to long for your space, keep it at 3 weeks. Also get rid of the tape on the top covering your soil, it can't 'breath' that's why you've got over watering problems. Cut out watering all together and just foliar feed.:blsmoke:

Just a quick update.

I am currently on day 6 of flowering. Just beginning to get some preflowers on her now so hopefully she will be showing her colours soon.

I only vegged for just over three weeks and i'm quite pleased with the development at the moment. Got a number of bud sites and some healthy leaf formation too.

I've had the 125 watt red envirolite in since i switched to 12/12 and I haven't seen much stretching yet. It did for the first few days but the last few have shown little stretching. Is it common for blueberry to stretch later in flowering?

I'll get some pics up tomorrow because its lights out now :-)

Any ideas what this leaf discolouration may be? The temps running in my cab are 75f and i have been using full strength nutes for a couple of weeks now. Should I flush?



Also I think I have enough room in my cab anyone agree or disagree?

From looking at the bottom pic it could be a bit too close to the light causing the leaves to burn a bit.

They looking alright apart from the over watering, which is the prob you have there my friend, those roots are choking with not enough air getting to them and hence little nutrient absorbtion.

The leaves seemed to have recovered from the discolouration the earlier pictures showed.

She has finished sexing and I am pleased to say that it is a confirmed female. It took two weeks to sex.

She is looking good but has been stretching rather more than I expected. I have around 2 inches of stretch space left. I hope this works out just about perfect because she shouldn't stretch for much longer.

I'll get some pics up later..I'm stoned! I been to amsterdam for the week and managed get some amazing bud back!

NYC Diesel, Shiva, Blueberry, Cheese, AK48 and NL are just some of the strains I'm sampling! :)

Not a bad idea i did consider it myself!! I went on the ferry so thats possibly why it was alot easier to get it back.

Anyways, i got extra bags from the coffee shops there more than happy to hand them out and then double bagged all my weed.

Then, i bought some smell proof bags from a souvenir shop. Most sell them they are really good and are about 1 euro each.

Once I had it all bagged I was able to put it into the lining of my hood via some picked stitching and have the jacket folded in my luggage.

It's not fool proof but it's worked for me 5 times.:hump:
