Default Robot Ninja's 2nd Grow - Blackberry Kush (600w/Aeroponic/SCRoG)
Robot Ninja here again for another SB420 Supported grow. My last grow (Super Silver Haze) was amazing. Got about 1/2 pound total dry weight from 5 plants, and like 2 lbs of Pot Butter, and some amazing "Green Tea".

You can see the progress/results of my last grow here: RobotNinja's 1st Grow, Super Silver Haze - Aeroponic 43 Day Flower

If your interested in getting into Aeroponic growing, then I suggest you check this thread out here: Harvest a pound every three weeks!

Specs. of this grow are:
6x Blackberry Kush clones (DJ Shorts Blueberry Kush x White Rhino)
1x 600 Watt HPS (Air Sealed Hood with 440 CFM Inline Fan)
1x 20 lb Co2 Tank/Reg
1x 6,000 BTU Air Conditioner
1x Carbon Filter/Inline 440 CFM Fan
1x Screen for Canopy Manipulation
2x Stink Bud's Aeroponic Veg/Cloner and Flowering units
Xx All organic Nutrients from Botanicare
Xx All Organic Pesticides
And Tons of Topping/Supercropping/Fiming

That's the basics, if you got more questions feel free to ask.

I'm running 6 plants rather than 4 and a baby, that plus the fact that I'm adding Co2 enrichment and an Air Conditioner, and much bigger vegetative plants, I'm gonna try to hit a full pound with this one

I definitely won't have nutrient burn again, that's a mistake you only make once. I'm hitting the pests hard this time around as well. Well ventilation + low humidity = no more powder mildew. Also adding Hygrozyme to each res change to prevent root gnats from flying around, and with summer Spider Mites are effing everywhere! I'm using Azamax (new product), it's all organic and is safe to spray on even the thickest buds. Not that I recomend doing that, I'm gonna spray avidly through veg and first couple weeks into flower. I will also spray the Azamax on my air filters on both intake vents, don't want em crawling into ur rooms.

Ok, enough talk, on with the show.

[Veg Day - 26]
Ph: 5.8
PPM: 1376
Azamax: Foliage 5-7 Sprays per plant, 2 hours after lights out, once every 3 days till dead!

Here are my 6 girls, looking lush despite being covered in spider mites not more than a couple days ago. I highly recommend Azamax, it's very expensive but well worth it. I just super cropped alot of tall stretchy branches that where well over 14-15 inches long. It's a friggen forest in there, so bushy I just keep super cropping to keep a even canopy, but she keeps bushing out, it's gnarly!

I will finish doing the upgrades on my flowering room within the next week. I wanna keep vegging em for another week and continue the Spider Mite death till I suspect they are all gone. For the most part they are from what I can see. Then it's flowering time for this BBK

Still doing res changes once every 2 weeks for veg cycle.

Yea, I'm super stoked to see these girls go into flower. The resin/tric production is out of the world on this plant, gotta get me a nice high res camera to get some good pics when she's budding.

I didn't take this pic, but this is *EXACTLY* what it looked like. Super white from all the frosty sticky trics with hints/hues of purple/black on some leaves. Amazing smoke, flavor is top notch, the aroma is amazing, high is immediate. And it knocks you out for a few hours man. Great for pain relief or insomnia.

And in my case, great with an X-Box

Yeah, Blackberry Kush is (as far as I know) a Cali Clone-Only strain. Maybe I should stress one to go hermaphrodite and spit seeds

Azamax is really pricey at about 70$ a bottle (16 fluid oz). But you only add like 7 ml (1/4th oz) to a 1 liter spray bottle of water. So essentially would last you 64 Spray bottles full. That's like forever man, just get it. Stuff works, all my mites are DEAD! Plants seem unaffected

woo, that is pricey. but for a life time supply i guess its worth it. that would be tight to make seeds from that strain. it looks like a strain worth keeping around.

[Update - Veg Day 34]
Not much to report, after about 1.5 weeks of Azamax foliage sprays all mites seem to be eradicated. Found a small web in the center of one of my girls in the back corner, removed it and effected leaves. Since then they have stopped reproducing.

I will start 12/12 on the BBK this weekend, once I'm done with the flowering room upgrades. Excited to see what effect the Co2 will have on the girls, super fatty buds here I come!

Check out our chill stoner dog, he loves to give kisses

Anywho's check back in a few weeks for some baby bud porn. TGIF!

Ok, so I got alittle delayed with flowering the BBK. Had some family staying over so I couldn't get any construction stuff done, aggravating. Then got sick soon after, so let's just say they Vegged way too long in the stinkbud system!

I'v noticed a pattern when I veg for too long, it seems one plant tends to dominate the rest. The quickest/strongest/fastest plant just absolutly takes over my small veg space and starves the rest for light. I ended up with another midget plant. Take it from me, if your doing aeroponics, don't veg longer than a month in a small rubbermade size tank. There's just not enough room. I will have to re-modify my veg cabinet before I start the next batch of BBK clones. Also the roots can get tangled pretty nasty, and it's bad to rip em.

Well good news is they are into flower as of now, all 6 of em. And the best news of all, no spider mites. They are completly erradicated, that Azamax is great stuff man.

I got my screen in place and am reddy to SCRoG it up, I will be feeding them Veg nutrients for the first 2x weeks of flowering as to fill the screen as much as possible. Co2 is set to fill the room to 1500 ppm's once an hour during "daytime". A/C is a 5,250 btu window unit off craigslist 30$ (rigged to isolate recycling a/c-co2 air from exhaust heat and passive intake), on it's lowest setting my room stays at 75 with RH of 50%. Couldn't ask for better climat control, and it's got a high energy star rateing

I also rigged a Vertical Fan to a horizontal fan directly underneath my SCRoG screen. It oscilates from this position and blasts the plants like a wind tunnel, I then rigged the Co2 line to the fan itself so it blasts Co2 & Air mixture right through the canopy where the buds are.

Expected 8 weeks from harvest, I'm off and running. I'll have tons of pictures tommarow. Stick around folks, this is gonna be a good one!
