Panessa's Blueberry Bucket/Waterfarm Grow

Sorry for the 3 month absence. Work and life got alittle crazy, and left no room to be updating a grow journal...so the last grow went unpublished. It was my first try at using my new bucket setup and it grew some amazing northern lights and papaya. This is my second go using the buckets, and I must say they worked perfectly last time...the last few weeks the drippers were clogged and stopped working..but the plants were already deeply rooted so it didn't matter.

These new blueberries were my first try at LST. My favorite little creation ended up being male...but heres what survived.

What you've misssed:

They vegged for 7 weeks under a 400w MH before being moved to the buckets two weeks ago. today is day 14 of flowering. They are not the color they appear in the pics, its the HPS...I'll take some more when the light goes off.

I'm growing out of 5 gallon buckets with GH waterfarm kits. Two 5 gallon buckets as my res. Each bucket has its own airstone.

I was brainstorming for a co2 delivery system that would be cheap and effective, and here is what I came up with...total cost: less than $20 + the cost of dry ice

We'll see how it performs.

well well what is it one can say?......astonishingly beautiful.....frosty frosty.....thanks so much for that update......
 
Thanks tahoe, can't wait to smoke it. The runt of the pack, the back left corner in all the shots of the entire room was ready to come down, co2 seems to really take a few days the flowering time. My dogs love harvest time, one of them begs for leaves when he sees me trimming them. :) Harvesting pics:

The rest came down. Weighed out to 3.3 pounds total. So by my math 3.3*.3=.99 of a pound dry. I'm happy. Pictures don't do it justice.
