so far im seeing more bud growth faster with led 10 band ir and 10000k white light. the hps is being slower to produce flowers. ill give it 1 week more to know for sure. i do know hps has 1/2 and led has 1/2 if we combine them we will get it all. Led will give more frost and better quality while hps gives bigger buds. im changing my 150hps for a 600hps. yep stepping up. light re-setup grow room adding a 15000 btu ac unit portable. to add cool air to the top of room. room will be like this 4 drop down 60 watt led/600 hps/ ufo 180 watt/ ac unit. mylar will be 7' high. i will have this 2 blueberry/1 WW/C99/ WW/Blueberry/AC unit i will double my yield easy ill hit 2 lbs yield from this grow now with air injection soil and these lights. oh AIS will help allot on yields. but we have to wait and see.

Welcome aboard bro.Lol yeah its getting good now. i lost 30 days do to being a rookie at air injection soil and not making my lines right the first time. i almost drowned them. Md told me hey they look like they are over watered allot. so i took a male out and tried blowing in the air line couldn't so i knew i had to burn holes in the air line. now they work perfect.so this grow will be good but next one is gonna blow this one away.

Omg talk about almost having a heart attack. i went into flower room and my biggest female has at first look balls. But after looking closer and seeing hairs coming from calyx clusters. outdoors ive grown almost all sativa so the blueberry being 80% indica grows calyx all over real fast to form the buds. I even called jointed to verify that they are calyx and he confirmed they will do that. here is 2 pics best i can get right now.
View attachment 3022809 View attachment 3022811 They look so much like balls from a distance. they are on every node the whole plant. gonna be allot of buds coming from her for sure.

I like your feeding schedule and nutes. I am not familiar with adding aloe though, curious what the benefits or nutrients are that it provides.

Have a big aloe plant so could incorporate this into my grow easily. Sorry if I missed the info in an earlier post...

ty,it helps them digest nutes and helps with some carbs/amino is why. it has allot of calcium. i sometimes swap that for coco water. they love the mix i tried a heaver feed at 1100 and they got tip burn just a little so i backed off. once they get bigger buds ill also add more bloom get it up to 1000 ppm see if they like it. now egg shells are great source of calcium and usable carbs also but the soil has to break it down. molasses also needs the soil to break it down. so when i feed today in about 3-5 days they use the egg shells and molasses. that si why i stop the nutes and use molasses last 10 days and i stop all 2 days before harvest waste of time since it cant break it down in time. do you notice all the calcium i use? almost impossible to use to much.
Edit: they like aloe vera when they first pop out and when blooming the best. i add it so they can store it.

its good for plants and us. i drink it also. imn gonna give another dose of coconut water in 2 weeks to everything again. i like to do coco water 2 times wehn they are yound and again when they are making buds. i should use coco water more. it has natural growth hormones in it for cell production.

I heard Aloe has Salicylic Acid also. This is known to promote root growth.

When we were in Cabo we went to the Costco (I know!) and they were giving out sample dixie cups of chlorophyll drink. Tasted nasty and I didn't notice any benefits. I do love making my own juice - apple and carrot is my favorite.

I can get a free juicer if i want one. i'll ask my mom if she has it still. i really should be making fresh juice drinks.

Thanks for the info, i am going to incorporate this. Just in time, I am 2 weeks into flower. I also make my own juice, I highly recommend a Breville.
A juice fast every so often is a really good idea... rep+
