First Grow: Blueberry & Raspberry Cough, Coco, Tent Grow, 2019

Blueberry #1 and 2, shaping up. I retied and pruned one last time(?). They all are 8-9” tall tied down.
I started a Gorilla Glue #4 auto and some other seeds in the new 3x3 veg tent. Attempted a couple clones but failed... one small blueberry may make it.

Looking great! I love the HPS glow. Sure means flower time. I have a similar glow going on, Im almost 3 weeks into it. Well done! Happy growing :)
Thanks! I started and intend to try a GG#4 auto in the new veg tent under a 1000watt/175-from-the-wall led. Blurple. That and a couple seeds to move into here in June. Thanks again.
 
Hey man I'll stick around an watch the grow if u dnt mind. I jus did a gga#4 auto one in doc buds hibrix soil and one in a dwc grow. Man that is some stick ass buds for sure. It really earns its name when u go to harvest for real. An my scissors kept getting glued shut so much I had to keep cleaning them every few buds hahaha.
 
Day 81 since germination, 10 since light flip.
BB1 and BB2, they are stretching a little and getting what I think are preflowers. They are 8-9” tall, tied down. BB1 has super thick low growth along the main four stems. Temp this morning was 79d, 47%. Room window was open, with tent door cracked.
I am attempting to stop trimming, the canopy of the blueberry plants is tight, underneath fairly cleared out.

Rasberry Cough, a lanky plant, has had different growth. It has bottom growth making it to the canopy very aggressively. There were more of these shoots than with the B.B. plants. It will be interesting to see the differences in the flowers and their growth. This one is closer to 9-10” tall.

Attempting to post photos through the gallery.

This is BB#1, about 10-11” tall. It is 89 days since germination, 18 since flip. Buds started. I wondered about how thoroughly people clear out under the canopy. Now I know, even the smallest larf grows out and sometimes in the way. I am taking a fan leaf here and there but not much more trimming.
 
Here are RC#1 and BB#2. RC is 11” tall, I cleared a couple of middle fan leaves out. Bb#2 is a bit behind the other two in flowering.

Any guesses to yield per plant yet?

My initial goal was 6 zips. Goal is probably a misnomer, as on my first grow, I would be happy with the experience alone. I think .5g per watt at 300w would be 5; half gram per 450w would be 8. I was at 300watts for most of veg while in flower the light has been at 450w.


 
Rasberry Cough on 4/20. This is 24 days since light flip and 95 days above ground. The flowers feel like little nuggets and are starting to get sticky. The plants started to smell a bit recently and my fingers get a little sticky after touching the flower. Time for gloves! :)



 
Lookin awesome mate. Happy and healthy, can't ask for anything more than that :). Don't see any reason for you not to hit your target of 6 Oz. The 2 bigger ones look about 2.5 ouncers to me. I do a lot of plants around that size and mine usually end up 2.5-3 Oz. I've got more light but I'd say 2oz average shouldn't be hard to hit this time round. With a bit of luck you'll get slightly more than that :)

Thanks for the guess, makes me feel good.
I had a glass of wine in me last night... but I swear they were telling me they wanted all 600w last night. My tent would get too hot though. I won’t get greedy but will likely look into a cool tube after a few grows.
 
500-600w per square meter is what most of us go for mate. Temps are only a problem if the plants decide they don't like it. Not sure what your situation is but if smell isn't too big an issue the obvious solution is to leave the tent open a little during lights on. Or get a stronger extractor. More fans help too. The roots are cooler than the room anyway so if you can keep the canopy cool with fans you can push the tent temps a bit more before you get the dramas.
Im quite lucky in that I get away with fairly extreme temperatures. I have so far anyway. The cold kicked my ass this winter but I don't even start sweating in summer till my reservoir hits 31*c. Rooms probably closer to 40 when that happens. Never checked that though. I just worry about the Res and use loads of fans.
Goes downhill pretty quick if it gets to 33 but untill 31, the hotter the better for me.
It's not supposed to work. Im not sure why it does. Majority of hydro growers say to keep the Res 17-22 but I find I get masively better growth rates if I take the piss and half boil them lol.
Just gotta make the most of what you've got mate. Takes a while to figure it all out but trial and error gets you there eventually. :)

Hahaha thts so funny man I kept havn the same issue wen I wud run at 78°f to 80f so 25 to 30°c my black domina would jus love it but I had a super good pheno of a Panama red and thai sativa that wud hate it an jus bitch an moan the whole time till I cranked up the humidity and the temps. Then all of a sudden u would see them jus perk up an look beautiful while the Black Domina wud then take her turn to bitch an moan about the weather hahaha. So yea I quickly found out I couldnt run those strains 2gether at all lol.

Yeah it's amazing how different the requirements can be for different strains. I usually stick to 50/50 kinda strains cos I'm not too keen on the extremes in iether direction. Gotta keep the seedlings warm but after that I don't really get any bother with them. Done Sativa this time and they hated the cold, hated the low humidity, prefer a higher ph than usual, don't like being trimmed, they've done my nut right in like.
Been in bloom for what seems like a decade too. Be sticking to 9 week mid rangers from now on, that s just too much drama for me lol.
 
Here is one of the B.B. plants. They seem to be starting tricomes after 30 days of flowering. The plants don’t smell yet but the flowers are getting sticky and smell to the touch. Not much excitement other than hoping for the best the next 30-40 days.




Lookn good bro that rc is startn to fill in nicely an man those blueberry look delicious. It makes me excited to get my Bluedream auto finished lol. I jus like anything that smells an tastes fruity. And anything with blueberry in it does the trick 4 me lol. But yea urs are lookn great congrats.
 
Here are the blueberries at 110d above ground, 39 days since light flip.
Nute note: ANgrow = 1/4 - 1/8 tsp; AN microw = 1/4 - 1/2tsp; AN bloom = 1/2 - 3/4 tsp. AN big bud = 200ml, AN bud candy = 200ml. The variance is using a bit less here and there on the grow and micro. I am also nervous about too much bloom plus the big bud.
