Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

DJ Short originated Blueberry. He also supplied Dutch Passion with the strain they provide as well, they were his seeds. They are the basically same.

With DJ's you will find more phenos.


Here is DJ Short's side of the story in regards to the differences in DP & DJ Blueberry:

Quote:
I worked with in Europe. At this company about 50 seeds of each variety were sprouted, but I was once again mainly left out of the selection process except for sampling a number of finished products and making selections based on those (which is enough, actually). I never got to see any of the live plants from this selection process at company number two in Europe. I also contributed seed-stock for three more varieties there;
Blue Moonshine, Blue Heaven and Purple Passion.
The owner of this company was satisfied with paying me the minimum amount I would consider adequate.
Fortunately, part of the deal was my ability to remain Independent and work with whomever else I pleased.
Quote:
FYI the Dutch Passion Blueberry stock (50 seeds) was the identical stock used for the True Blue (>200 seeds). I did not do any selection on the Dutch project except for finished product analysis, but I assume that they did not select any individuals with leaf anomalies. I hope that helps clear up some of the questions regarding differences between these varieties and their overall selection.

Outdoor growers are heading inside now so I thought if might be a good time to start a thread on how you can harvest a pound every three weeks from a 7x8' closet.

I'll take you through my process from start to harvest.

What is different about my system vs. others?

1) 3 separate Aero/NFT flower systems allow me to run a 9 week flower cycle. This allows the buds to fully ripen and also allows me to run strains with more Sativa in them.

2) I use 100% organic nutrients for the sweetest tasting bud you can ever imagine.

3) I take my cutting from my veg plants. This way I can run 10 different strains without having to keep 10 mother plants.

4) My system is all Aeroponic/Hydroponic or Aero/NFT. Each system uses the same sprayers and pumps. No medium is used. Basically the plants grow in air.

5) I have a 100% success rate with my cloner. By far the easiest way to take cuttings.

6) I always leach and then flush for at least 2 weeks for buds that burn and taste clean.

7) I run a three part cycle. The plants stay 3 weeks in the cloner, then 3 weeks in the veg system and then the move to flower for the last 9 weeks.

Anyone can do this! If you can read a number you will have the same success as I do. Everything is measured and it is as easy as baking a cake.

If you follow my instructions you too can harvest a pound every 3 weeks.

So here we go...
what kinds of bud are they?

As I mentioned before, I have the cloner up and running and the veg unit standing by. The problem is, I thought I could get my PH/TDS metering equipment locally. Boy was I wrong. The nearest place I could get anything worth using was close to 100 miles away. So I had to order online. When I finally tested my tap water, it had a PH of 8.1 and 246 ppm. The cuttings I have going are not doing all that well and I guess now I know why. At least I can get PH adjusting chemicals in the little town nearest to me where I work. My real question is, since the cuttings have been in this crap water for about 10 days, will they recover or should I expect to just start from scratch with fresh cuttings? Sorry about the long post and thanks for any help you guys can give me.

Your water should be fine, Bro - just PH it - 246 is within spec (a little hi PPM - but that will be fine). Just compensate for that 246PPM start when you adjust your nutes during veg and flower (so a target PPM of 1400 would actually be 1646 PPM for you). You can also skip the CalMag as your 200+ PPM water usually has sufficient amounts of calcium and magnesium.

No need to restart - just PH the water - you will likely have roots in another few days... you are cycle timing the pump right? If not, and you are running the pumps full time, the higher temps created can also cause rooting problems.... get a cycle timer if you are not using one.

Hey stink been checking this thread out for the last week or so sick setup man. I am not sure if i read it already on this thread been reading so much lately so i will just ask you ........... what is the average size of your plants three feet when finished ?? and the dry weight i was guessing around a oz or ozandhalf ??

I have a extra room i dont really use(since the kid) its around 10x8 just would have to take down my gym :cry:, but its perfect. I do want to but thats just because this is so much fun growing and lots of time on my hands now.

i have 2 units under each 600 hps and i have 4 plants inside each post
this was the biggest
white widow.........
the box is 18 by 24 inches.......and one plant filled the damn thing
thank u stink

wet weight is 308 g.......multiply by .22 (found that its a conservative number to give me dry......and i usually have a few more grams cured)
gives me 2.4 oz...........WTF......from one plant
if i can grow 16 monsters under each light and i have 4 lights plus co2 i can be on to something great
this first experimental grow yielded me .75 grams per watt and i did not have co2 yet.......cant wait for the romulus harvest in about 5 days and the next widow in about 2 weeks.......

I bought one of those $49 one minute on four minutes off timers. The temp stays between 77-80 in the closet most of the time. I got the PH adjusting stuff on the way to work today and I am about to go try and get the levels right. I think eventually I will get some sort of water filter system, but if 246 is OK, I have other things to spend the money on right now. Thanks for the help, I am going to need all I can get.:hump::peace:

Of course 0 PPM water is best - and anything over 200 is good enough reason to invest in RO - but you will be fine in the meantime for sure!

Sweet harvest! Those buds look fucking dank bro! Super frosty.

2.4oz. sounds about right bro. If you veg the plant very long they get huge and produce a lot of bud. I've seen 3oz. from one plant but I average around 1.5-2oz. per plant now.

Quantity is cool but I pride myself on the quality of my bud. To be able to get both is is just too cool.

hey stink, i know you use 10 sprayers per 396gph sub pump....i decided to make it bigger(couldn't help myself) than i was supposed to. i went with 6' long and 4 of them.....might do 5. reason why is because i will lollipop them and keep em 6'' apart. cant wait to see the donkey dicks this system will produce. so my 3x6 area should house about 10 per run, so 40 or 50 if i put the other one in. i wanna do 1 big res and i guess it'll have to power about 40-50 sprayers.
any thoughts on a pump or res size. the rest is golden.

I was wondering how many weeks it took from the start of vegging clone to the picture of the bud with the bottle?

Thank you!
