mcpurple you said that you dont need a ppm pen then how do you know
how much your plants are eating ( in the bucket )

well i measure with teas spoons, and follow the directions and tweek them as i see fit for the plant. ive never had a prob with over feeding. if you dont go over the amount givin on the nute bottle then u should be fine unless you give a seedling full strength nutes. i just never used a ppm meter along with alot of other soil growers and seem to have no probs. and i dont see not knowing ppm causing root rot either ppm is parts per million in the water.
and i would say half stregnth veg nutes to help the N

what nutes are you using because i've followed the direction on the bottle at half strength two weeks into flowering and had a over nute problem... (the leave curled under and twisted bad) it has a lot to do with the strain some like nutes others dont. but at least if you have a ppm meter you know how much your plants like and dont like for future waterings.

ive never had a prob, i start at 1/4 strength of the recommended does and work my way up each feed and it works fine with out haveing to fork out cash for the meter. im not against the meter or any one using it or anything, but it is easy to give correct amounts with out it

coreyb760@yahoo.com · Oct 24, 2010

so you start a a quarter and go up? thats a good idea... how much do you bump it up each feeding? and how much do you feed/water? do you feed, water, water? or just feed, water,? or just feed, feed, feed?

nice setup brother. Nice and clean and tidy. looks like your leaves have some damage. overfeed? FYI 2 different "pheno" types. +rep for your setup.

yes that is exactly what i do if the plant is bigger buy the time it needs veg nutes then i might start at 1/2 strength. and how i bump them up is buy a 1/4 tsp each feed unless the plant is showing sings of Def. then i give a tad more. it aslo depend on what nutes like some bottles say max feed should be like 3-4 tblsp. the nutes i was using was only 2 at max so going up buy a 1/4 tsp was good for my nutes i was using.
and i used a feed, water,feed,water and so on and so forth for a feeding schedule this way in between feeds it gor fresh water to ensure no build ups and to make sure the plant is using the nutes up from the last feed

coreyb760@yahoo.com · Oct 24, 2010

Awesome info you have no idea how much that helped me. Thats probably why whenever i nuted it showed signs of over fert and that in turn made me sketchy about feeding them so the they show signs of def. It was all fucked up but now i think thats what im gonna do start off slow the raise it up a lil at at time like you said... sweet + Rep

glad i could be of some help.
the plants are lookin good, i really like how they are all single cola plants. how do you get them like that?
also if you mean the nodes in pic5 well dont worry, its called faox tailing and it is usally genetics getting old or just a sign of it last growth spurt. it could also be caused fom heat like you said. not really to much to worry about though.

coreyb760@yahoo.com · Oct 24, 2010

right on thanks and the main reason i got one cola was because i think i just go lucky. i got some dutch passion blueberry seeds off a seed bank and that was just how it grew. I did trim a little on the bottom but for the most part thats how it grew. oh and i put them out to flower when they were about 6 to 10 in. tall....but out of the same batch of seed i did get another phenol type and that is the tray on the right. there both supposedly the same seed but they are two completely different plants. crazy

coreyb760@yahoo.com · Oct 24, 2010

i edited my post b4 u posted

i was goin for sog

mcpurple · Oct 24, 2010

i also noticed that your room seems to be large and you are only using about half of of the room. theri is alot of light being wasted in theri, i think if you had some black and white panda film across like a curtain white side in it would help greatly in increasing yeild and density.

coreyb760@yahoo.com · Oct 24, 2010

I accualy just ordered two new ballast and hoods should be here tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT WAIT!!!!!!! i will be hanging them tomorrow and posting pics..... unfortunatly my clones will not be ready for a week or two

i got the new lumatek ballast and xtrasun 6" vent-able hoods. also i am going to try lumateks new High par output bulbls

i have looks and looked for info on these bulbs and found nothin other than the specs from the website(supposed to put out 1030 PAR WATTS!!!!!!!!!) so i will let you know how it goes

mcpurple · Oct 25, 2010

theri will still be alot of light being wasted on the side of it. its just a thought i had though

hi

did you have any hermi problems with your dp blueberry? also ive never seen dp blueberry grow such a large single cola! i was getting dp blueberry clones for bout a year i was a newb n didnt really no bout other strains. i really didnt think much of dp blueb she often showed them bananas (male preflowers) and was inconsistant with yield.

looks like you doing a great job with ur dp blueberry tho good on ya, but trust me there are many better strains out there.

heres a few pics of my dp blueberry.

ive not grown that many strains only 5 so far so im no expert still consider meself a noob cause theres so much to learn really, my only recomendation would be pretty much anything from a breeder called Mr Nice they have some of the best and also a few of the origanals like black widow the origanal white widow theres a few more aswel.
