Feel Free to post your comments and advice. Thanks

oh yeah I also wanna let you guys know that these DP Blueberry's are very sensitive to nutrients. I had to learn the hard way lol. thats why the first real leaves have some nute burn on them.

Original Blueberry?

I saw no DP breeder pack.

I saw Blueryder.

But no Blueberry.

Thanks I just noticed that too here ya go. The blue Ryder will be used on my second grow.

Ah, alright, just makin sure.

I grow their Blueberry almost constantly.

If you need any advice let me know.

I can't say much about the nutes though, since I sue super soil and do not add any.

But any other questions, I'll be happy to help with.

Thanks bro. I do have a question about cloning them tho. What age do they have to be to start cloning?

I usually take clones about a week before I flower.

Idk why, that is just what I do.

I would at least wait until it had 4-6 nodes though.

Yeah I'll wait till it gets a little bit taller

Ok so here's an update on the (2)BB's and the (3)DR's. BB#1 has grown very tall with big leaves. BB#2 is shorter and growing slower, but they all look healthy. The DR's are doing very well also I'm just waiting for them to show me their gender then I'll add the flowering nutes and switch to HPS. Light schedule on these plants are 18/6. Light is a 250watt MH.

Yesterday I topped BB#1. I'm hoping that I can clone the BB within 2 weeks. As for the DR's 1 has already shown it's sex it's a male. I'll let the male grow and collect the pollen then pollinate a female so I can get seeds. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that the next 2 DR's are girls. I'll be updating the pictures this Friday so stay tuned.

Nice job. Keep it going. I'll be kickin' back enjoying the show.

Thanks bro. The show is going as planned. Besides the nute burn in the begining I'm suprised that everything is going good for my very first grow.

Ok I just found out earlier this week that I have 2 DR males and 1 female. As for the BB's just started the flowering nutes and changed the lighting schedule to 12/12. BB#2 has some kind of deficiency but I added some cal-mag with nutes and seems to get better. This might be because I use distilled water. idk.

Pic#1 BB#1 this one's really tall and bushy
Pic#2 BB#2 this one's the short slow growing one.
Pic#3 DR#2 the female
Pic#4 DR#3 the male

I'm looking to pollenate just the bottom branches of the female myself but can't figure out when the male will be ready. Anyone know when the pollen from the DR male will be ready for harvest?
