Toke's Blueberry Hydro Grow Journal

[Medical Cannabis]

Tonight I will start 8 blueberry seeds that I got from some tree from my local clinic.


It was sooooo tasty!!

I'll be selecting 6 plants, all will flower from seed, then I will keep two females and put them back in veg until they grow big enough to clone a bunch of times. I will flower the other females (if they are all female for some reason, then I will only keep 3 so I can stay in state guidelines.)


I can't afford an HPS this time around, so it will be in for next round. I'm doin about 20 CFLs for these.

Will be doin a 6 plant bubbler system. CO2 administered via seltzer water and spray bottle, also using General Hydro nutes and Advanced Nutrients' Seaweed Extract

I can tell you with outside air temps at 65f, 20 cfl's at 26w(100w) will raise your temps 35-40 degrees under 70 cfm in a 50 cubic foot area That may help you figure out circulation.

[Boss]

Got 6 blueberry seeds popped and into rockwool. I got a 6 plant hydro setup from ebay for like 80 bux. I am using CFLs for Veg, I don't care about speed of growth, I understand the CFL potential, its about cost for me. I will be purchasing either a 400w or 600w HPS for flowering. Decided to just use 8 CFLs I made a cardboard holder to space out the bulbs which have splitters on them. 4 Sockets, split twice each = 8 CFLs

Using what I have, I have 4 red spectrum and 4 blue spectrum in there now. I'll buy 4 more reds in a little bit.

I'll get some pics in a little bit.

personaly i think CFL's have been given a bad rep. now obviously MH or HPS are way better just as true sunlight is better than all. but for an over all i think it has its uses and "can" work well for a full grow if you use a selection of the different spectrums, they are much easyer to "suround the plant with light" , and are cheaper and more discrete to use.

when it comes down to the $green$, cfls work, if you can get the hps even better.

cant wait to see pics +rep for luck

Nothing to report on... nothing has popped the rockwool yet.. We'll see.

 

[Medical Cannabis]

We've had two breakthroughs.

 

[signman2007]

Lookin good Toke!!!!!

 

[Medical Cannabis]

Two weren't comin up so I pulled em and they were duds. So I germinated a bunch more in a paper towel and I planted one that had a 3/4" sprout. So there are 5/6 healthy looking sprouts now. I'm going to go to the clinic tomorrow to pick up some more.

Colorado. I can have 6 plants male or female. 3 Flowering and 3 Veg. HOWEVER, I am a caregiver for a friend a little further north so I can grow their 3 plants too = 6 veg, 6 flower

 

[shaggie-420]

this site seems to have blown up lately with people form colorado lol

 

[Medical Cannabis]

You say it like its a bad thing! We're just a very progressive state

 

[Boss]

Thank goodness, we could use more like you too!

 

[shaggie-420]

a bad thing...... HELL NO!!!! i say we need our own forum in side 420 mag lol
there is no place like colorado. in my opinon its the best state ><
and im sure there will be some that disagree lol

 

[Medical Cannabis]

We have our own forum Check on the main forum page.... its under the specific mmj states.

Best state fuh sho!


So a little tragedy happened today but it resulted in some good... One of the blueberry seedlings that got recently transplanted to rockwool didn't make it... neither did the other ones i was germing (I still have 5 blueberry in the hydro right now, all are showing cotelydons (spelling???) )

SO I am germinating 6 Skunk#1 seeds to replace the one fallen blueberry... (the math makes sense when you love cannabis as much as I do) heh.

They're soaking in a dish with water overnight before they hit the paper towel on top of the fridge in a cabinet.

I'll get some more pics up soon.
