Blueberry 420 & Super Skunk: GH & Sunshine Mix

[Bush Doctor 77]

Seeds from Amsterdam Seed Company, and was let down by seed viability. 1000 watt HPS for flower, vegged under 125w CFL, then 500 w and later 1000W MH. Grow media is Sunshine Mix #4. I use the attached GH schedule, and the only supplements I use are the Floraliciuos Bloom & Grow, and Kool Bloom. Switched to 12/12 light cycle on May 15th. I know if I dilute my hard well water by 2/3 with rain, it's about 200ppm TDS(Ca/Mg mostly). I do use Hard Water Micro. I never measure pH, or nute TDS. I water by weight during the week, and flush well with full strength nutes once a week. The Sunshine mix is an inert hydroponic media, and not a soil.

Nice plants @Bush Doctor 77 do you find that Kool Bloom causes any self defoliation? I added it to my nute mix this go around, I'm losing bottom leaves on some of my clones and I did not last grow on their mothers running the exact same mix minus the KB. Cheers, luck to your grow!

I don't use Kool Bloom until the end of the blooming cycle. I do see yellowing of the fan leaves later, but that happens in my soil grow in my greenhouse, too. I assumed it was due to N reduction in the nutrients. Even wild plants have their fan leaves turn yellow late in bloom.

Another week. I started adding GH Armor Si, as it's getting hot.

Another week. I forgot to mention that this grow was almost an afterthought . These are extra plants from my greenhouse seed germination. The HPS bulb I used during early flower was old, and probably caused extra stretch. I only had enough Sunshine for 2 gallon pots and I normally use 5 gallon. Just added 2 Gelato girls to this mix on the 10th in 5 gallon pots. First bud is Blueberry 420, and next is Super Skunk. They will get Cool Bloom next week!!!

Here's a better pic of the BB 420.

Here's one of the Gelatos I just put into flower. See anything unusual? This is from seed. I think it has "tri-lateral symmetry"?

Here's a BB 420 and then a S Skunk bud. Just gave them their first dose of Kool Bloom. And...the girls.

Is that where you topped it? I see what you're talking about. I dont know if it's unusual or not. Bonsai!

Yep. Three is not normal.

Another week. BB 420 first then S Skunk

 

[Bush Doctor 77]

Here's all the girls with about 3 weeks to go. They are really starting to bulk up after a couple of weeks of Kool Bloom. The Indica is a gelato shown in my 6/14 post. She's being flushed. She has a couple of months. left.

 

[Bush Doctor 77]

Just gave them probably their last nutes. I'll know in a few more days. The fan leaves are just starting to fade. Day 53 in bloom. S Skunk then BB 420, and the girls. Hope to be tastin' it in a couple of weeks.

Final pix. They'll be coming down within the next couple of days. Tomorrow will be 8 weeks in bloom.

Nice looking fatty cola there Doc.

Looks like 420 vision is on the high side.

Keep up the good work.

I thought I'd add some pix of the Gelatos that were growing with the others. These were an afterthought, sort of. About 7 weeks into bloom. See some leaf damage? I think that's from my well water changing from all the rain we've had. It's usually very hard, and I had established a ratio of RO/rain that worked fine. I think the rain made my well pH lower and I had some Ca/Mg problems for a bit. I upped the amount of well water in my mix, and it seems to have to helped. I need to find my TDS and pH meters one of these days!

 

[Bush Doctor 77]

Here's a couple of finished buds. First is Super skunk and second is Blueberry 420.
