SOG 1st Time Flower-DJ Short Strain-Blueberry --Pics!!

PLANTS: 16 DJ short Blueberry, in 2 gallon pots
MEDIUM: Soil (Fox Farm Ocean Forrest Blend)
LIGHT: 600 W HPS
NUTRIENTS: Full Line of Fox Farm; Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, Big Bloom Cha Ching, Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz
TOOLS: PH Stick (for water and soil), Clippers, Measuring Spoons

I am in my 7th day of flowering.

I am doing SOG, 9 vegged for 2 weeks and 6 have been vegged for 6 weeks.

I water 1 Liter every 3 or 4 days, switching between regular water and nutrients.

I follow the fox farm schedule to the T.

I only use 1/4 of the suggested nutrients because my strain is a light feeder.

I admit Co2 from 2 20oz bottles I have with water, yeast and suger.

I have my ballast outside the door (pictured)

The air runs comes in through the door with a cut hole, and out the top of the closet. (Picture of whole in door)

The temp ranges from about 72 - 78 F when the light is on.

The Temp ranges from- 64-74 F with the light off

The Humidity is ranging between 30-55 when the light is on and off during flowering.

I have an ozone sock (pictured) that i either keep on all the time or i unplug, i really need to get a timer for it.

I am including pics of my set up, the plants, the equipment I use, and the set up as best as possible.

I would love any feed back, questions or comments, Willing to take help give help whatever is needed. This is a great place to learn and that will only happen if more and more people are interested so please LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OR GIVE ANY SUGGESTIONS

Check it out and let me know what you all think...

Just wanted to take pics of the plants. I just watered them...GROW..GROW GROW...

You can see how my plants are separated, there are 9 that have been vegged for 2 weeks and 6 that are rooted clones.

Humidity is staying at around 30, do you guys think that will be ok for the flowering stage?

I wanna see how this turns out, trying to decide between this strain or another auto.

I didnt look into weather it is an autoflowering strain. Do you think it will make a difference, I didnt even know tehre was such a thing as autoflowering strains. prolly just a weaker yield I am guessing. It will be interested to see how the 2 week vegged ones do compared to the ones rooted from clone.

I am interested myself to see how this works.

Just wanted to post some pics the day after I fed the 1st set of flowering nutrients. I feel like there was a lot of growth last night, and I can start to see hair strands popping out. You hopefully you will be able to tell with my pictures.

Hey Boxer, excited to see your grow turn into something big
props, I'll bookmark ya.

Good luck Boxer, SOG is how I grow all the time now. Are those 7" pots cause I think I used those a while ago, just switched to a smaller 5" pot now. If you can try to get those smaller ones closer to the light so they won't stretch to bad.. when they start packing on the bud they'll start getting top heavy. When I flowered some in 16oz. cups they couldn't even support there own weight.

Yea they are 7", holds about 2 gallons of soil. Judging from how it is going so far I was planing on switching to the the 5" pots for the next grow, good thing about that is it will let me fit more plants. The smaller ones seem to be filling out pretty well at the moment. I am getting more bush growth then height. I might consider moving it closer but right now they are about 2 ft which is pretty goof from what I have read about the 600 W light spectrum. I am counting on some big colas so to make sure they are not weighed down I am planning on attaching them to stakes when I start seeing some buds grow.

I appreciate the comment from everyone, keep em coming.

Just got my timer back that I lent to a homie. Now I want to see if I can control the humidity, It is getting as low as 26 with the ozone sock on at all times, and I want to try to keep it at 40, so I put the timer in and have scheduled the ozone sock to go on every 30 min. So on 15 off 30. Lets see how it works.

The post by Pazzo made me think about the height issue I am going to have to face. So for the first time I busted out my measuring tape.

The Tallest Plant: About 13 inches (1 inch more than a foot) , the light is about 14 inches away from the top of the plant.
The Smalles Plant: About 3 1/2 inches, the light is about 23 inches away, a little less than 2 feet.

I was thinking of moving the smaller plants that were from rooted clone a little higher, but I would really just like to keep them the way they are. Do you think 2 feet is close enough for the smaller ones? Do you also think that 14 inches away from the top of the plant is far away enough. I am not feeling any heat when I put my hand over them.

Any Suggestions.

I was able to get some advice from some of my fellow growers. It seems like I need to stick my rooted clones closer to the lights. So I got 2 boxes and was able to make the 6 clones be on the same level as the rest of the canopy. Now i am about 18 inches away from both the rooted clones and the 2 week vegged clones. I also moved the fan over to the right side and put it on top of a box so it could be more on top of the canopy.

Check out what you think I did and let me know how you feel.

Yeah, that should work. Definatly a good idea to get those plants closer to the light to avoid them stretching for it. I've stacked old PS2 games to get some plants even with the canopy before.

hey boxerbudz looking good man.
i just got 4 clones today of this stuff so ,im very interested in seeing
how this turns out.

nice nice subscribed!!!

So I decided for the last month I am going to move my sytem over to a Secret Jardin Dark Room 120 hut. I am moving around March 1st and want to put this hut up at my new place. I did my research on the huts and this one seemes like the best one. It is a little pricy but it should be a great hut to use. I will be able to fit 1 3x3 trey in the hut which should be enough to fit 49 plants in 5 inch pots. I want to learn how to use this before I get into my new spot so I am going to try to finish the grow off with it. If it doesnt seem like it is workign I can always move it back to my closet.

looking good mate dont worry about the humidity during flower its pretty much impossible to go to low its going to high you need to worry about. your gonna have some nice buds there dude

So it has been two weeks since I started flowering the rooted clones, I would have to say that they are looking great. So what I decided to do was go ahead and do a little trimming.

As you can see in the pictures I went ahead and cut the lowest set of branches. These leaves were the original leaves that started from the original clones, you can tell that because they had been cut. Now the plant looks very pristine and nice.

These baby's are ready to take off.

I am on DAY 19 OF FLOWER. I notice the buds starting to come out and you are able to start seing nugs forming.

The ones that have been vegged for two weeks on the left side seem like they are getting some fat buds.

The ones theat are on the right, that were straight from rooted clone, seem to still be getting buds but not not as fat as the others.

All of them were at the same canopy though because I propped the smaller ones up as you can see in the pictures before.

I thought I saw a small black bug flying around. I think it might be an aphid. WHAT SHOULD I USE TO GET RID OF IT. From what I hear DJ SHORT BLUEBERRY isnt very good with niem oil or chemicles. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO USE, just in case more come.

I have also noticed that some of the plants all seem to be the same height. Should I just put them all in the same row and make them all even, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PIC THEY ARE ALL JUMBLED AROUND.

I have noticed since the buds have started to really sprout I see the humidity rising. I have started to leave the filter on all day. It is standing at about 56. Is that going to develop mold?

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THE PICS!!
