Blue berry help (pics)

all i can think of is...shity strain?

-stone on

Hey now, don't cuss the blueberry! She's an absolutely beautiful strain! (and DJ is rightfully proud of her)

She's about 90 percent indica, but still grows tall and lanky. The buds are some tight nugs that have the best buzz around. So don't give up on her.

First of all, your problem is not that bad. One gallon pots are fine for mothers, if the plant is kept small. Maybe that plant had a reaction to the added bloodmeal, (you're supposed to mix that stuff before you add the plant) so a good flushing should help.

You're adding too much nutes. With the organic amendments to the soil, you should need only small amounts of nutes. 800 ppm of organic nutrient soup is prolly not what you think it is, organic nutrients have less conductivity than chemical nutes. And besides, these are mothers, they don't need large amounts of nutes to do their job. Your nute pH is fine.

Is that a sodium-colored hue on your plants? It just doesn't look like a white light, which is what you want for mothers.

No its a Mh light. Its a daylux. It has a lot of red in it. Damn near looks like an hps. Seems to work well though. I borrowed the bulb from a friend. I will probably get a regular mh soon.

Thanks for the imput Potroast. I will have to try the flush. The blood meal is really the only thing I have done to it differently from the other plants. Whats up with the purple stems? Is this how its supposed to act? They where purple before I added the meal.

The mix I use at 1000 ppm is 1.6 ec. I dont know how that compares to other solutions. I really dont know what the ec should be. I have never really worried about it. Could you enlighten me some?

Oh, an enhanced spectrum halide, kewl, I've never seen one of those. For a halide, I just buy the bulb at casa de pot, the 400w are about 25 bux. It's a straight spectrum, but for that price I can change them often.

The blueberry has different colors to her. Several strains have naturally purple stems, though some people think it's a phosphorous deficiency. Just wait until late flowering when the leaves turn blue!

What I meant about your nutes are that you are giving them too strong a mix. Cut back on the strength. There are nutes in the soil already, let them use that.

For instance, I grow in inert media (no nutes in it) and using chemical ferts, I give my mothers a 400 ppm soup.

Cool man. I will cut back about half on my nutrients and see how things go. Ill give an update in a few weeks. Thank for all your help!

Ok I decided to go ahead and flush all my moms. I put about 5-6 gallons of water through each one. It already looks like they are doing better. I will take another pic next week to show the results. Thanks again Potroast!

Dude you were right about the flush. Check out the nice new soft growth.

blueberry is supposed to have only 8 hours of light the last 2 weeks.
