Stealth Antique Grow Blueberry and Sharks Breath BC Nutes

Hello all.
This is around my 10th grow and my 5th bubble grow.
i got theses seeds a few weeks ago from single Seed Center. The Blueberry was about 25 bux but i got 3 free seeds. I decided to isolate two and use technaflora at NEAR recommended doses. So i germinated in a washcloth 48 hours, i then placed in a thrive alive soaked Rockwool cube. That was 6 days ago today.
i found a antique cabinet for free by the side of the road and i broke out the innards and lined with mylar. I set up a couple of five gallon buckets with bubblers and filled with water at a ph of 6.25ish. I added thrive alive red and root 66 at minimal doses to the water, and i let bubble for a while.
ive always used tubes in my bubbleponics system but for these 2 i just have the pots an inch above the water and bubbles are poppin it good! Im using 2 cfls. One at 6500 K and 5,000 lumens the other at 4500 k and 5,000 lumens.
I plan on flowering for 6-8 weeks. I foliar feed with thrive alive organic for the first 2-3 weeks. Once the root hits the water i tend to stop foliar feeding. I may fim one and not the other and ill update at least every 10 days. Im looking for exhaust options but kinda broke right now.
if you have any suggestions lemme know and ill consider all options, maybe LST?

I too am using B.C. nutes w CFL's. Only difference is I'm using soil still. Sounds like this will be an intersting grow. Hope you dont mind if I pull up a chair.
Are you using the full set of B.C. nutes?

Id love for someone to find this grow interesting.

Im still using the full line. They are atill only about a 3/4 inch tall so im using thrive alive and root 66, one week or so ill switch to boost and grow with perhaps a bit of mag and cal additive
I thought it would be an interesting grow , with some very nice strains!

dude this is pretty sick. I was trying to decide whether i should go with a grow box earlier or not. decided not to go through with it, but this looks really cool. mabey for exaust you could drill holes in the back and then cover the holes with boards depending on how hot or cold you want it. idk, i've never tried it but it seems like a fairly cheap way of regulating tempeture, especially if you get some air movement in there. good luck man.

IM thinking holes on the bottom on both sides, then some pc fans for exhaust at top?

the temp is like 75 closed and 90 when closed.
I have been interested in the Blueberry for a while and i think it will be cool to see how she does on a pretty strict Technaflora grow. My guy at the Hydro Store claims to love it.

Just a Quick update. I installed PC fans today.

Kind of ghetto because i used a hand saw, but i plan on putting mylar on the top once i get more this paycheck anyway.

Temperature closed went from average of 90 to average of 78 when the door is closed. Bottom fan blows in and top blows out. Fans run on 12 volt and i had an old 12 volt adabter i cut the end off of and wired these two in.I only run them at night when i have to close the cabinet because i have a flowering area down here too.

Well nobody really seemed to be following so ive been lax on updates. Here she is almost exactly 8 weeks later. Im two weeks into flowering.

This plant has grown by leaps and bounds and quickly filled my closet. Ive got bud sites everywhere.

Once again i used the technaflora line and this bucket was an experiment with the success kit. This is the biggest and fastest growing plant ive ever had.

The other pics are my veg hut. Aeroponic and bubble systems.

I am interested in what you think of the SharksBreath once it's done and cured. While growing, mine looked and smelled amazing. But after being dried and cured for a good while it's not my favorite smoke. The lady likes it tho, it feels kind of like a light head high that wraps around your eyes in a sense. But the smell we get from it finished is very natural.. Grown all organicaly.
I grew blueberry last year and it's good good stuff. Got a free seed called Cole Train with one of my orders. HIGHLY recommend this to anyone as it has been the most popular plant i've ever grown and me myself am in love with it. Anyways, Post an update and let us know how the finished product is!
