Alientic's 3rd Grow - Dutch Passion Blueberry Feminized

[alientic]

Hi everyone, this is my 3rd grow, this time I'm using Dutch Passion Blueberry Feminized seeds .

For my hydro setup I'm still using my Cool Cab purchased from Sunlight Sheds (SLS). If ain't broke, why fix it right? For my Nutrients, I'm still using Advanced Nutrients as I had success with them in my last grow. I'm still using distilled water for everything.

I appreciate any and all feedback regarding this grow. The last grow my plants got really tall and surpassed my light. I'm not interested in LST as I don't have the time and energy in messing around with that technique. I'd rather just cut and be done.

I'm changing a few things on this grow such as the way I germinated the seeds and light cycle. This time I stuck the seeds in shot glasses filled with distilled water in the dark on top of the hot water heater. In less than 24 hours I had tap roots exposed and placed them in the medium. My light cycle is now 18/6 rather than 24 hours of light for three reasons, 1) to cut down on electricty costs, 2) MH bulb gets to hot in the summer and 3) plants grow fine in 18 hours of light during vegging.

So onto the pics

I took these pics on 6/30

I took these pics on 7/4

I took these pics on 7/5

I hope you enjoy your time follwing this thread

Alright so we are on Day 15 since germination. PPM is currently at 140. pH is around 5.6 How do they look? Is my PPM to low? Thanks in advance

Love the setup + the strain choice!!

18/6 is great, and im sure these babies will flurish.. Is your cab setup to accomodate them when they get bigger?

I'm gonna top them so hopefully that will solve the height problem.

Do you guys think the plants are to close together or should I space them out before the root structure gets to big?

 

[fuuji0019]

Nah, they look perfect, for a while anyway, then a repot will be needed.

Repot? They grow in the same medium from beginning to end with this setup.

fair enough, i understand now. After briefly looking over it the pots themselves just looked too small, but i understand your setup now. Good luck, and looking forward to the end buds!

Alright so here we have some more pics. The first 5 pics were taken at 12:00 p.m. and the next 5 were taken at 7:00 p.m. PPM is 135 and Ph is 5.8. Let me know what you think?

I wanted to thank everyone for stopping by. Here are some pics from today. They all seem to be doing fine except for one. It's the smallest one in the bunch. The first set of leaves have started to turn yellow now. But the rest of the plant is fine despite being small. Not sure what the deal is with the plant.

Heya alientic. Your ladies are looking good so far. +reps. Just curious why you don't have them spaced out a little more with all of that room. Your bottom left 2 I would say are too close. Looks like they are already overlapping. GL on the grow. I'm tuned in.

Hey everyone, we are 25 days since germination. These ladies are approaching 8 inches. PPM is currently 366 and pH is around 5.6

They all have at least 5 nodes except for the smaller lady. I want to do this topping method Uncle Ben's Topping Technique to get 2 or 4 MAIN colas - Marijuana Growing mainly to maximize my space and keep the ladies on the shorter side. Please let me know what you think about this

Thanks for the reps and advice! I wasn't sure if they would be okay like that. In my last grow the plants got really tall and were burned by the bulb. But I spread them out, I like it better this way.

DO IT byeah cut cut cut i think u should think about fim"ing

 

[Poke Smot]

and if you dont spread em out a lil buds wont get as bbig because they cant see light when they get bigger

 

[alientic]

Alright I took these pics on 7/17/09

 

[alientic]

This first set of pics were taking before topping

These are after topping

Let me know what you think

 

[fuuji0019]

Noticiable drooping of the leaves, but still all look healthy.
Just keep a close eye on the water amounts & ph over the next few days and all will be fine.

Looking great

So I topped these ladies yesterday and I think they look pretty good. They definitely seem like they have filled out a little since yesterday. Im not 100% in my topping job though, let me know what you think.

This is one plant!!

Clones, not sure about them yet

Roots look healthy
