I transplanted them into larger pots with miracle grow soil and perlite. I used a 50/50 mix. They responded very well. Culled out the mutants and males and as stated earlier I have two females currently flowering under 400W HID. I just purchased Fox Farms Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom. I have also purchased a PH meter and ph up and down. I plan on using FF Ocean Forest soil. I would appreciate any advice regarding nute strength, feeding and watering schedules, ph of water and nute solution as well as soil composition(soil/perlite ratio). Thanks in advance to all who reply.

Workinit.... All Blueberry strains are very fert sensitive. If you mean you plan to pot up to a bigger size container and use the FF Ocean Forest Soil, be advised it is nute hot and can burn seedlings and sensitive strains like Blueberry. I'd cut that FF Ocean Forest with 30 percent well aged compost to tone it down, or use 30 percent well rinsed coco fiber. Either will work.
.
Then water only after the transplant for the first 10 days to avoid the burn. After that, start using your bloom nutes at 1/5th the recommended dose. Yes I said 1/5th (aka 20 percent), of the recommended dose. Ph adjust them to 6 and water in.
.
I've grown many blueberry strains over the years, you can really F them up by overfeeding. Start low, then slowly increase your nute mixing strength, in very small increments (10 percent increases). Feed only every 8 to 10 days, water as needed.
.
Blueberry strains are great smoke, just a pain in the ass to grow, because of their eXtra sensitivity to nutes.

Hope this helps....
