nice setup. I'd definately have to agree with the 1/4 strength on the nutes. My first grow I nuked mine pretty good in veg and regretted it through flower as i had to really limit their feeding.

Im now on my second attempt and have some decent genetics to play with, 2 nirvana Ai's, 1 greenhouse fem twreck, 1 white rhino, 1 church in week 6 of veg.
Been feeding them very lightly with the General Organic lineup (GenHydro's New Line) and they look amazing.

I have a question for anyone who has grown AI, mine are only at around 13'' tall with 7-8 nodes and I'm wondering should I be veging any longer? Height inst a problem really, in fact id like to get them to 4ft in the end. Ive heard that Ai stays short tho and my twreck is at 21" so I dont want to veg much longer if the ai isnt going to take off.
thanks. this is my first try with the ai and greenhouse fem trainwreck. my last grow was gh church:bigjoint: it nearly doubled in height during flower. went from 22" t0 41" at the end. it is my avatar. the budz got so heavy i had to tie it to a dow rod.:peace:

Just a suggestion...that orange home depot buckets and lids leaked light for me on my DWC. I got root rot 4 weeks in to flower, it sucked. Just a reccomendation wrap that bitch in foil or paint it or something, I am following your grow and dont want to have to cry after reading a post titled "root rot killed my AI".

Peace.

Peace.
i had that problem 2 grows ago:wall: i painted the buckets black. ran out of paint. i will paint the lids also. 1 of the feminized blueberry's looks like it is getting balls.:cuss: i guess i will let them pollinate and hopefully never have to buy any more blueberry seeds:bigjoint: the ai has took off. she is growing a inch a day for the past 2 days. hopefully she will stay at that rate for about 3 more weeks. does anyone know how much they grow after it starts flowering? :peace:

its stayed pretty damn short! I just went out and measured it and it's 6 1/2 inches tall, which probably isn't much taller than yours. I think it's because I have it growing outside and the days are only 12 hours. Yours should start showin tiny little flowers soon! Unless it isnt even an autoflower, that would suck, it's been happenin to people, lol.

P.S. Now that I look at your original post I realized that your blueberry is exactly a week younger than mine! I geuss it will probably take a little longer for them to grow indoors, have you switched it to the mh yet? If you haven't you should! It would really healp it bush up before it flowers and would kick flowering in faster.

Nice plants you have growing. Nice to see your wife helping out. I like your idea about getting her high to manipulate her into having more plants and equipment. Mine is not really involved in the grow but has helped when I was growing outside. I made sure I got a pic (told her I would delete it) of her trimming a big bowl of bud. You know just in case I have to blackmail for some reason. I did give her a job as my mule though but have to give a cut. I've had stuff all over the house at times and she's pretty good about it. My only suggestion would be to start your soil plants in smaller containers to start them off. That way the soil won't stay wet for so long and risk some problems it might give you. It lets them dry out a little more and faster. Good luck though.

thanks man.yeah i over nuted all but the auto flower. the breeder says start it in a 8l to 20l pot from seed. somebody else told me that you have a better chance of shocking them by overcrowding the roots or transplanting. i will get some new pics up tomorrow. the blueberry is really starting to bud up and the ai has a root mass twice as big as my last grow at this stage:peace:

I haven't had any problem with transplanting or shocking. But I only transplant once. I've seen most people recommend to start them small. I start in a pot about 4"x4"x 3 1/2" tall and go into a 1 gallon to finish. This way I take up a lot less room (keeps the wife happy too) for my smaller plants and don't need as much light. Ya, burning them was my biggest problem in hydro. I would give them what was recommend and they would burn. Could never go much over 1000ppm with this strain. But somehow I seemed to do better before I got a meter, go figure.
