So, here is how i started.

12 Malawi gold Auto Fem
5 Blueberry Reg
5 White Widow Fem

Had some Germination issues,

8 of 12 Malawi Gold
2 of 5 White Widow
5 of 5 Blueberry

Germed as per Crop King Seeds instructions. Wasn't overly impressed with results

Good photos. But if taken with an iPhone, volume buttons down.

But they look good so far!

What is your soil mix? I don't see too much or any perlite (white stuff to help with water retention and drainage).

Hey Pigeons, Soil in the solo cups is MG . Its all i had around when i was planting, they have since been transplanted into 70/30 Coco/Perlite. These pics are old, i'm on day 43 now. I'm trying to back date my journal to keep everyone in the loop. I hope all my pics aren't backwards....lol

Day 6, Transplanted to 3 Gallon Smart pots. 70/30 Coco/Perlite mix. Pre treated with Flora Nova Grow and CaMg.

Hey Ice mind if I get a front row seat, I grow in coco as well.

They look great!!

If you rotate your pictures and then rotate them back it'll fix them before you upload them.

Day 14, My MH bulb died. Have to use the HPS until i get another. Feeding Every 3-4 Days as needed. Watering mainly on outside edges of pots to help promote root growth and avoid burning the plants in miracle grow plugs in the middle from the solo cups.....

Day 15 Added ID Tags to the Plants

All the Crop king Blueberry's are mutants of sorts... I've followed other journals of their Blueberry strain with similar deformities. One Seed was a twin, i separated them as best i could.
Brought it to Crop kings attention, they were friendly but not overly helpful. Offered to send me some free BB seeds, i declined.
I wouldn't recommend this particular strain. Ill add some better pics of the BB later in the journal.

The White Widow and Malawi Gold pants look healthy and happy. MG#8 has been noticeably smaller and light green from the start have to keep an eye on him.

Started to Ponytail the MG
