My Bubblelicious and Blueberry Flowering Log

blinkykush said:

just wondering what your feeding schedule/watering was throughout the grow? I only ask because I have been having a hard time with that aspect of my first grow. ty

During Veg:
FF Grow Big - 1tsp / Gallon
Plain Water every 3rd feeding, enough to consider it a "mini-flush"

During Flower
AgeOld Bloom - 1tbsp / Gallon
Plain Water every other feeding

Feeding/watering take place about every 3-4 days. I let them dry out pretty well before watering them, gotta remember the roots need oxygen too! I just lift the pots to feel the weight, i never like to jam meter rods through my roots.

Cant believe I haven't seen this grow till now. Awesome job! These are two strains on my list for sure.... so many to get and grow. BTW, hows the t-5 compact fixture working out? Do your buds feel hard as a rock or kinda spongy? Ive been looking at these for my mother & clone chambers but seeing you flower with them has me thinking about some other ideas.

Thanks for the compliment SomeGuy! I love the t-5. Buds feel very firm, although I must admit I have no prior experiences to compare it to. They dont feel spongy though. Some of the buds are about 2" or more in diameter.

Good to hear they produce decent buds I am designing two to three cabinets so I can move outta the closet. It will be much more convenient for moving. Cant beat the price on those fixtures either.

yeah man, got mine for 69.95 from HTG.. bulbs included

Nice grow i plan on growing the same two strains but wanted to get my first grow out of the way first and do them right . I will deffinently follow along and cant wait till the harvest to find out how they smoke .

You will not be disappointed! I'd recommend buying the real bubblegum though, I wish I had done that the bubblelicious from nirvana is not very consistent. I had 2 that were pure sativa looking in the beginning. They are suppose to be primarily indica.

Thats good to know b/c i was going to buy the nirvana ones from the Doc .

BOMB, Are you cutting the lower branches so the ladies can consintrate on the main colas??

Looking good!

My Nirvana Bubblelicious is budding up very nice too. Fast also. It doesn't have much of a smell unless I touch one of the buds and then the smell just explodes. Very happy with her so far. This photo is about day 31 of 12/12.

nice buds yummy

my bubs are in flowering day 2 now thanks for the feeding post

Hows things going Bomb?

thanks for stoppin by everyone. sorry I have been really busy, just got a huge promotion!

but anyway... yes I did cut the lower growth on the blueberry, partly because I had no weed, and partly because I wanted that one cola to be big. Seems to have worked pretty well. Its a small plant but I can see getting like 12 grams or so off her. (keep in mind im using 110W of lights)

and the bubblelicious just got minor pruning mid-way through flowering, which I suspect has hermied her a little. either the calyx is just really swollen, or I have a few seeds. The bud looks great though, so I'm not too worried about it.

I just got a 30x magnifier today, and checked trichs for the first time. still clear, with a few cloudy. I'll be checking daily from now on.

AND NOW, FOR AN UPDATE.

Day 47

Buds are starting to harden up. Both are on plain water only.

By the way i might just use my T5 to grow a whole grow b/c yours look great under cfls man. I dont know why peeps say that bud development isnt as good....yours look great and dense. GL

thanks blinkykush ~

Buds are firm when you squeeze them, there is no give. I'm sure that with an HPS they would probably be a little bigger, but I would've had higher temps to deal with, plus more electricity being used. Not to mention it would only further my height restrictions in my small space.

wow looking really
tell us when you harvest
do they smell at all because it seems like they would

they dont smell that strong actually, only when you squeeze the buds a little. smells like fruity grass if you know what I mean

yeah my bubbilicious arent budding yet but the smell I would say is a fruity to minty smell.

I always get jealous of the cfl guys who dont get giant yields, but just take their time and grow some real nice connaisseur shit.

Looking great bomb , keep it up.
