[shaggie-420]

how close are your lights with cfls your want them to be within 3 inches of the plant to get the full amount of the lights

[WestCoastToke]

Yeah they're about 4 inches right now,

[Boss]

Just fyi, that one inch can mean 300-500 lumens. :-)

[shaggie-420]

ive kept mine with in 1 1/2 inch - 2 1/2 inch the entire time and its created wonderful growth. only prob is i adjust the lights every day morn and night.

[Boss]

They look healthy. I dont see why you can't foliar, but real light str.

[WestCoastToke]

First off an update. pics taken this morning.


This is the weak blueberry. I have faith, they always seem to pull out of it and produce something cool.




Now for the strong blueberrys






Now for the 4 skunks.










the blueberry got a little nute burned when I did the sea tea. Its okay the new growth is fine. LOTS of new growth since then.


Namaste

hey Westcoast..... with the exception of the minor burn they look to be doing pretty well. I bet they take off once the roots break through that rock wool :-)

[WestCoastToke]

all have roots out of rockwool. only 2 blueberries left. the charlie brown passed away this am. RIP.

Germinated another seed in its honor. A Crystal. Some cali bud. Good stuff.

Also have a g13 widow cross germinating and three la confidentials germinating.

Also only 3 skunk left. One was runting and stopped growth.

[WestCoastToke]

Only two blueberries left... everybody else croaked.

Seeds are doin well, the la confidential is popping through the rockwool and will be goin into the ebb and flow under lights in a day or two.


Gunna order a 1000 watt hps beginnin of next month. HTGsupply probably.

Blueberry went into flowering last night. on at 6am off at 6pm. We'll see.

Hey WestCoast..... You are in Colorado and growing in your basement crawlspace like me right? What are your temps during day and night? I ask because I had issues with cold temps until I added a porcelain space heater with a thermostat and have it set to 65 degrees now so at night they don't freeze. Just curious why some of your babies didn't make it....

[WestCoastToke]

Growing in my laundry room in the basement. Not sure about temps, seems just right day and night here :)

The other ones suprised me even popping. I got them out of some bud that got half assed polinated. I don't know. S'all good.

Yes, I'm in Colorado

[FishSticks]

poor blueberries!
