grade is singing the blues 1st journal

Hi all! starting a new gro so thought id try my hand at a journal! so i just put 3 seeds wet paper towel between plates ontop of my pc to germinate, they are DP blueberry, Big Buddha Blue Cheese and Paradise Whiteberry that i bought from the pick and mix section off attitude seeds.

The grow room(large wardrobe) i have has a 600wHPS, 250w blue spectrum envirolite, 4 fans for air circulation and the room the wardrobe is in has window slightly open near by for fresh air coming in. (the top of our house is empty so the open window in this freezing weather is not a problem and keeps the temps in there nice!) The walls are fully lined with mylar. the dimensions are rounhly 5x3x7 foot so its a nice little area......

I don't know if anyone saw but i had 3 cheese plants in there that suffered some shock when i change the light for cfl to hps, this time im going to run them both at the same time to see if i can overcome this problem. I have the best cheese plant of the 3 left in the room and am planning on growing it into a monster bush along side the new seeds. The other two have gone to a friend who desperately wanted a challenge!

well thats a basic run down of things, pics and daily updates to be expectd! need all the help from you guys i can get.. Safeties

seem like a killer growup man

cheers bb, also forgot to mention they will be grown in soil (biobizz allmix)

as for nutes/ supplements: Biobizz Biogrow, bioheaven, biobloom and topmax, aswell as epsom salts (find the biobizz range does not contain much magnesium...) and superthrive

i only grow in soil mate

me too now, ive grown in hydro before but i just like the natural!! still got alot to learn about soil growin (hence the PH issues you were just helpin me with on another thread lol) it just feels better to me and have had tastier results than when i grew hydro......

just ran out of the office and went to the hydro store to buy some ph down as my tap water is reading 7.5....... i want this grow to be as perfect as possible... when feeding plain water to seedlings in soil what would be the idea ph? somewhere between 6 and 6.5? any ideas much appreciated

after a night in the moist paper towels all 3 of the seeds (whiteberry, blueberry, bluecheese) have a small tap root showing so happy days! gonna leave them in the paper towel today (i re-moistened them last night) then plant them peat pellets this evening.

Here are some pics of the BB cheese in my main room.... the 600w hpas said this is located at the top of the room (slightly out of the picture) and you can see the envirolite next to the plant.... as said this plant was suffering badly just hoping i can turn it round into some PENG weed the buckets in there are what ill use to pot the seeds in eventually......!!

i don't see anything there!

just seen it....... sorry dude didn't notice your thread! obvious title for blue strains tho!!

Claiming ignorance .... will get ya bye. Just don't harsh my mellow. lol long story. VV

hahaha not obvious then... more like the a work of genius? lol peace vv cheers for droppin in anyhow!!

so all the seeds cracked, the blue cheese had by far the largest tap root closely followed by the whiteberry and the blueberry had the smallest of all....

i soaked the peat pellets in ph'd water of 6.5 with a little bit of superthrive and planted the seeds about 0.5-1cm down in the pelets. i also made a mix of perlite and biobizz allmix (20% perlite) and put the mix in small pots with the pete pellets in the middle.

They went under the lights this morning (still with the 250blue spectrum cfl close and the 600whps at the top of the cab) so i guess this is day 1!

The cheese clone i got going is looking better each day.... looks like it will be ok....

anyways here are some pics not much going on yet but hey!

day 3

all the seeds have germinated and are poking through the soil, the whiteberry is the largest so far, then the blue cheese then the blueberry. i have bin watering with ph6.5 water from a feeding tray (plate) they are sat on.

The cheese clone is drying out after a flush (again with water ph'd at 6.5) i will resume the nutes once it the pot has dried out abit thinking of going back in a 1/3 of the recomended strength but this thing needs nitrogen its all yellow!

do you see the way its drooping? could that be due to overwatering (flush....?) thanks for any replies..

anyways here are the day 3 pics..

day 5

not much to add except the seedlings are doing great! all looking nice and short, the whiteberry is showing its indica wide leaves already.... lovely stuff!

the cheese clone has had a dose of nutes this morning and is seeming to take well to it!
