3 sour blueberrys 4 weeks into flowering in a grate and 1 og kush in a weaver pot. og kush is about a month old.
had received 3 Sb plants that where de-potted.
treated them as clones and gave them 24 hrs light to boost them back up then put them under a 15/9 light schedule for a couple of weeks which made them flower because of the substantial dark hr increase. dropped the light hrs 1 hr ever week and now im at 12/12. i will continue to drop the light hours still until they are done flowering. (keeping it somewhat natural). all tops are about 4-9 inches from light.
here are some pics from 2 days ago.

The seventh pic is a nice cola man. I like the use of the two 400W lights in such a tight space, really intense light. Lookin good. Peace out.

Those are some nice buds. I use the FFOF in my blends too. You should have a nice pull from these. Nice strains too.
yea i used ffof my 1st gig and had good results. thinking about mixing in some hydroton balls next run. thanks for stopping in

They're showing great potential.
thanks man!! ill try to bring it out to the fullest!

good eye! that plant was accidentally almost decapitaed 2 weeks into flowering! :( it was hanging on by like the skin; threw some water on it quick taped it and it pulled thru with some minor stunt in growth and as well as lower thc production. on a good note thou everything under it swelled up fast hopefully some trichs pick up the pace as well.

you guys got anything going on. feel free to use my thread as yours!
thanks for insight men!

Interesting sounding strain - I love Blueberry and anything crossed with her, potentially temperamental though. Had any issues with clawing? Loving that giant crate type pot, masses of root potential.

So what's going on in this picture? Looks like that could be a super yielding cola once filling in begins - potentially problematic due to the inevitable density though when this happens (might be worth trimming a few of those little leaves - how's your humidity?)


Looking forward to seeing how they finish up. What stage are they at now? How much light are they getting? :-)

bigby!! sup bro thx for coming thru! that plant accidentally almost lost its top while some lst was going on. top was hanging on by the "skin". taped it up and it healed and everything under it swelled up dramatically. i havent seen any clawing yet at all but my humdity during lights off (which is the daytime in real world) is high gets up to 89%. during lights on it drops down to 55-68%. any ideas of what i should do?

:-) Hey dude!

It's amazing how these plants recover - so many old time growers swear by stress, so unintentional mishaps can lead to positive outcomes. Certainly doesn't look like a disaster.

Nice one on the lack of clawing. I've had it on every blueberry cross I've grown. To have such nice green leaves without experiencing it is a nice touch.

That humidity could be a problem though with her being weakened and potentially big yielding in spite of the stress. My humidity is spiking at the moment due to a very wet spring/early summer - high of 70% yesterday during lights on (high of 62% lights off which is weird - daytime day and night time night for me). That's with a powered mini dehumidifier too. Mine is high enough to make me think that if it stays like that in a month I could have problems. Higher than that - 90's% like you would have me very concerned. Worth getting a powered dehumidifier if you can imo. Also try to see how various things affect your grow area. At times with a southerly wind my humidity is higher with the window in the room the flower tent is in open, when there's a northerly wind the humidity spikes with the window shut - but then if the window has been shut all night it needs to be opened even with a southerly wind or I get humidity spikes. (none of this is in any way an issue in winter when gas central heating is used).

Venting is key, but so is knowing the humidity of outside and reading how it affects your grow room.

i know how to make a d.i.y dehumidifier lol its pretty interesting and simple. u need a basin (rubbermaid) a bunch of milk grates 6-7 or something grated with holes that can hold a few bags of ice and a fan. point fan towards bag of ice ; then ur done. condensation takes place and u will always have more water melted in the rubbermaid then u did in ice. ill start doing shit like adding bowls and rice and what not till funds come in for a dehumidifier. i think its caused by the collection of run off evaporating during lights off with all the days heat still chilling around. the room vents out once every minute or 2 not really sure on the cfm rating but id say its about 15-25 cfm in a 30 cubic ft cab
