Pictures of when they were starting!

<---day 0 <--Day 2

Will Update this through out the week.

As Promised, Let me know what you think. I've had no feedback I'm Pretty sure the buds are just starting to form. just starting to see some signs of "hairs"

Looking good

looking good man! keep up the good work.

Quick update. Not to much has changed. But seeing some progress.. First grow is pretty low budget. Hardly have enough for nutrients ( cheapest bottle at local hydoponic store was 80$). Just got some good soil ( Fox farm) PH Kit, And Just starting to give them molasses now their into the second week. Planning of swapping and adding 3 more 42w cfl's , once the buds come in a little more. Pump this to around 20,000+ lumens
#1 . 21 Days Veg, Day 16 of flowering ( extra 6 days really made a difference!)
#2, 15 days veg, day 16 of flowering
#3, day 6 12/12 ( and still really small)

So I picked up myself a little tent I'm working on for the next few days, for my second grow and just a overall upgrade I'm doing on this for the size. Paid 20$ for it. Now Just light proofing it, adding 4 Syth ultra krazes ( 150cfm!) Grabbing a 600w HPW/MH Kit, Doing some ducting. It shall be a nice project while my plants finish up

They look very beautiful and healthy, you're going to get some nice buds that's for sure!

They've been nice and green for the hole grow! Can't wait for it to finish up and smoke some of the beautiful buds, Should be a nice blueberry hybrid

Also, Recorded from my iPhone 3Gs so its not the greatest quality in the world video.

Just a quick update for everyone. added a few more blubs also. Still putting in a 4 more this week! ( hoping to get some reptile UV-b 23w cfl's Mainly!) Pump up the resin production and THC a bit, Also make it a little more like artificial "sun"



Sorry about the pictures being sideways again..

The buds look nice and big for 24 days but I can't see any resine, what have you been feeding them?

Nothing ! (EDIT: well if your not counting molasses since week 2) Just keeping the PH levels as recommend every watering (5.7- 6.2 and if cal/mag issue up it a little bit ) . as I said this is a cheap grow. I can't order nutriends online at the moment, and locally at the hydro store they charge outstanding prices for nutrients (80+ a bottle for anything) all we have is a great seed shop around here. Big selection on seeds from every company, good prices!
But the buds are coming along real nicely for no nutrients Compared to some plants I've seen.. their just starting to pack on the resin now( like insainly all at once ). Ill try and get some better shots.. They were suppose to be covered by the first week by the description. but it recommends 800w+ HPS Light... so might not pack on quit a punch so quick

EDIT:: Update! Resin is starting to pile on now! Hard to get shots tell more build up
About where yours were for day 25 Deus. after today they start getting crystals

EDIT 2: Pic's updated

Day 45 - Day 25 Of Flowering ( 30-40 days left)


Day 46 - day 26 of flowering (29-39 days left) - can notice the little bit of training I did on the plants as they were in veg( lots of lower bud locations) Pistils are exploding now, resin is packing on!

Pics will be up soon, I'm trying to get a better camera and find a microscope to take some micro shots lol, show more the crystals! since its Hard to get them to show on my iPhone. Also tomorrow is the start of week 4 for me. And Very Excited! , since more the smell, resin production and buds comes in during the final weeks. My box already smells like dank ass blueberry's with a hint of the afghan kush. But its not very pungent just yet! ( EDIT: the Room is starting to get a nice smell now that Im not smoking bongs! lol. I can notice it! Not pungent, but the smell is differently there!)

Here's some quick pic's I took a hour before the baby's are off to sleep for the night!

They look fine, where do you live (wich country)? I also don't have the best shots possible (all my pictures were taken with a galaxy SII) :/ But it's good enough
I bought myself a microscope(60x-100x) about three weeks ago (I also wanted to inspect some finished buds^^) but I couldn't take any macros with my phone through the microscope, maybe if I had a better camera it would have worked, not sure.

Im Currently Living in Ontario ( Just by toronto ) Very Open here about weed, growing this with some family as they have a card, and making this a "legal"grow .. And I feel your pain ! I'm still taking my Pictures with my iPhone, zoom and focus! ( which isn't much better ) . I have a camera I'm going to use this week tho. Just waiting to get ahold of it still! too bad your not living a little more local. I really would love micro shots!

As a side not. I added more pictures !

Looking real good so far, better than mine. I'm gonna start using molasses cuz of how yours look! I have some, but have never used it. So what are you using to balance your pH levels? If you are going full organic, I have read that you shouldn't be adjusting pH at all, since the microbial life and soil buffering capabilities are supposed to control all of that - and by using chemicals to balance pH, you kill beneficials in the soil.. atleast that's what I'm reading. Also, what kind of water are you using? tap? what are all your pH numbers like?... before balancing, going in, runoff... I'm just curious because I'm still learning. keep up the good work!

Thanks man, They just keep getting better looking as the days go by.. And from what I've read up about the Molasses I don't see really any down sides of using it ( sweetens flavors, makes buds swell up. Plus theirs normally nice bit of mag/potassium!) And the seed company's description of the plant said to use a carbohydrate to bring out all the flavors. and I can def notice it does help tho. And I'm just using some alright digital PH tester I got from one of my family members, Tho I only used it to make sure the PH was alright before a mix, and if I notice a little bit of deficiencies Ill play with the Ph a bit using PH Up/Down.. Other then that Straight tap water my brother! left out for 24 hours so its "distilled" . Ph levels are at 5.7- 6.2 (as recommend by company!) all organic besides the molasses ( which is pretty damn organic if you can put it on pancakes and eat the shit)


EDIT: Also! Quick update on the plant. today is week 5! Still no digital camera! But getting a iPhone 5 this week or next hopefully. So be just as good.. Also sorry forgot it makes the pictures sideways!

Day 34 - 24 Days left! October 5th is my harvest date

that is nice to see! you only ever hear about people growing with nutes around here so im glad it has worked so well for you!

Possibly on the next grow! But for the first few I Might never even use nutrients! (80+$ for any kind of nutrient around here) This is just a simple, cheap, cfl grow! And I figured I've spend enough money already. making the dresser into a stealth box, buying the materials for locks, bulbs, fans, etc. Also saves me from flushing as much, and I dont have to worry about any crazy mix's. or even deficiencies on this grow. Just sit back, watch them grow. routen between the water and molasses.. Makes for keeping it "stealth" not leaving nutrient bottles around . And as I've noticed with this strain its very low Oder tell the buds really start to come in! Then just reeks like blueberry's and original afghan. but still only in the box or when you smell the plants
