Paradise Seeds White Berry. Day 43 of flowering (almost ready!) with VIDEO!

Now for the first time ever...see my grow in on video!

http://youtu.be/LcBWqOwYqjc

click or copy and paste the link.

most of the details of the grow will flash by on the video as you watch.

if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

im still looking for the next strain to grow...something thats a step up from this white berry (which might be hard because its the best i've grown ever...period.)

and a guess on yield would be cool too. im thinking between half to a whole pack personally but could be wrong. keep in mind this is a 50-55 day strain so not too much more weight will pack on here at the end...or at least i dont think so (i dont have prior experience with this strain).

if anyone knows how to re-veg properly im interested as i'd like to keep the best pheno (thats pointed out in the video) reveg it...and take clones from it for future grows/projects...might even try to breed it with something...idk yet.

anyway opinions on a strain or yield would be cool and anything else you'd like to say.

ENJOY!

nice looking plants. You ruined the video by putting rap in it though, imo...

After harvesting leave enough plant matter attached so it can absorb light vegetatively again and put it back in the veg period. that is how to re-veg.

what?!?! there's someone out there that doesn't like smigg dirtee? this is news to me! jk jk. i know, to each their own...i actually spent like 30 minutes going through like 100 songs looking for one...however this was the best one (i thought) out of all of them on my computer to put on the track...

i noticed rap isn't very popular usually on grow forums...at least artists who aren't mainstream rappers...but personally, i don't like too many mainstream guys...maybe some classic mainstream...but i don't follow to many guys that are current mainstream.

but its all good. what do u listen to? im just curious.

back to the plants.

thank you for the comment! i tried hard with these ones...prior to this all my experience has been: a bagseed (turned out to be a nice sativa or sativa dominant plant), RP's Purple Wreck, and ghs' Big bang.

i did the sativa bagseed and the purple wreck at the same time...too bad i didn't know the bagseed was sativa to begin with...otherwise i wouldn't have done them together...the purple wreck was 1ft-1 1/2 ft tall (i forget exactly but it stayed really short/bushy). that became a problem in flowering...so i had to constantly stack things under the purple wreck to make it the same height...

too bad i ran out of things to stack it with and the sativa grew 3 1/2 feet tall!

this was done mostly with cfl's...i only started using a 600w hps during flowering (this was my first grow btw). i had tons of problems...over fertilized, over watered, ph issues, etc.

i even had a male pollinate my mystery plant sativa! how am i sure i didnt have a hermie? well the purple wreck was feminized but i inspected it daily for "bananas". not one to be found (i knew to expect a feminized seed to hermie as i read up for 4-5 months before starting to even try and grow). i checked the sativa as well...

the purple wreck never did get knocked up...sativa wasnt a hermie either...i think the reason the sativa got knocked up and the purple wreck didn't is because of the flowering times...the sativa took 11 or 12 weeks i believe while the purpwreck was like 8-9 weeks i think.

it worked out well as i got good bud from the purple wreck (even though i jacked it up bad) and the sativa as well...and ended up with 200+ seeds in the end! that sativa yielded 1 1/2 oz for me even with 200 seeds...i thought that was a good result on a first grow that was beaten up as mine was with cfls for half the way through...

i vegged those 2 plants for two months with cfls!

the big bang turned out better...yielding 8oz from 6 plants under 1 600w hps...i got careless with inspecting the big bang (feeling confident i didnt hermie the time before when i treated them terribly compared to what i knew going in this time). however i did have a slight hermie...evened up with 10 seeds after harvest (nothing too bad).

however these white berry's have went the best. i cant believe i've gotten this far with minimal problems...only issues this time were a smell thrip problem early on (only found about 20 of them between just 2 of the plants)...killed easily with spinosad...never did any damage really except a few of the VERY bottom growth that i rip off anyway when im ready to start flowering...and a slight ph/nute issue but its only because i found the white berry plants to be sensitive to nutes/ph in the flowering stage. the purple wreck and big bang were not like this...nothing major tho...just a few leaves suffered.

i also was stupid early on by pulling off my leaves during flowering (not all of them but too many in my opinon)...so im still learning but i feel like im getting better every time through. my goal this time is about 3/4 of a p...or at least thats what i think im yielding by looking at em...my favorite smoke so far has been the purple wreck...second is the sativa bagseed...3rd is the big bang ( after 8oz i hate that crap lol )

thats what i tired to do with a big bang but it just stopped growing and the leaves started to die after 2+ weeks...so i killed it at that point as it was taking up space and not doing anything. i cut it 2/3 down...removed buds only...no luck. should it be in the dark for awhile after harvest then put under a 18/6+ schedule or switch from 12/12 to 18/6 in one day?

Nice looking plants my friend! I just purchased a 5 pack of white berry but I'm waiting 'til after the first of the year to plant. Is she an easy strain to grow or do you find her to be finicky? Are you going to do a smoke report?

thank you for the compliment. i tired hard with these ones.

i think they have been REALLY easy to grow for the most part. i vegged only 29 days and the tallest one was 18"...5/6 seeds germinated for me. in veg they aren't nute sensitive at all...started them 1/4 strength and went straight to full no problems...one pheno is heads and tails better than the rest...its more blueberry dominant however the buds are EXTREMELY dense on that pheno...AND its the one that smells of STARBURST the most...a winner all the way around so far (smell, bud density, rate of growth). thats the one i plan on re-vegging and cloning...its just clearly the best pheno.

the rest are more white widow like (at least the way the bud looks) they all have a fruity smell however...some just stronger than others.

if i were u i'd super crop and do some topping (They LOVE topping)...in less than 2 days from the day i cut the top it started growing out two main shoots...one of the phenos grew with 3 tops after being cut (no i didnt accidentally fim...it just grew that way for some reason...an added bonus)

i super cropped the crap out of them in veg...first week i started i did it lightly (to not shock them) but when i seen how well they responded (sometimes in 24-48 hrs it would be healed with a huge knot) i topped each branch constantly...everyday...worked well. id suggest doing that because even with all the supercropping some of my branches are having trouble holding the weight of the bud! keep in mind i also have multiple fans blowing constantly...even still the bud gets that heavy and the branches may have issues supporting it.

if you do top keep in mind these things grow more like a bush than a tree...so you will need space between your plants...my 5 plants need 2 600w hid systems to light them up! thats after just 29 days veg, super crop, and topping...and some minor lst at the end of veg.

lst will be required if you top them ...at least i had to with mine as they got really tall (white berry will give u a large main cola)...so top for 2 or even 4.

so far all i smoked of it was a small nug i accidently broke off that was near the middle/bottom of the plant...it was only about .2 grams...so just enough to get a taste...i hadnt flushed at the time so i cant comment on the taste/smell/flavor as it wouldnt be fair...however from what i can tell so far paradise seeds isn't lying when they say small amounts will give you a clear headed type up high (sativa high)...i cant comment on the larger amounts as i have only sampled that one little piece.

i think its going to be very nice in my opinion...

be warned now..the only issue i can complain about is they are sensitive to nutes and ph issues during flowering...so 3/4 strength may be required. (i follow the fox farm schedule exactly btw if ur curious about my feeding). and its only every other watering...i also ph my water down to 5.8

also: NO HERMIES! (very good considering its feminized) smell when growing isnt real bad unless u rub against the plants walking by or something...

i think you made a great investment (at least i feel like i did)...

i think you'll like it.





and since im wanting to reveg and take a clone you know i'd grow it again!

Thank you my friend! I pondered long and hard before making my final decision and white berry just sounded like it was up my alley. I also liked that it has a 7 week (supposedly) flowering time. I'm trying to increase my efficiency by experimenting with some strains with short flowering times. If I can cut off an entire week or 2 in flowering and end up with the same yield then I'm all about it. Happy growing and thanks again.

I went ahead and embedded the video for ya!

i did the same thing! i researched strains for like 2 months before deciding on the white berry. it just seemed like a winner all the way around.

claimed a diverse smoke...(ie. says more sativa in small amounts more indica in large amounts)...how many strains have those qualities? ive looked up hundreds if not a thousand strains and none ever claimed this that can think of right now...if its true its gonna be amazing...

it flowers quickly (note. the strain is stable in terms of height and the plants being overall similar but some do flower sooner than others...the best pheno i have will be harvested maybe 1 1/2 wk - 2weeks sooner than the rest...so you have to find a the quickest pheno and clone it in my opinion...or at least thats what i wanna do with my winner..

even the worse pheno is still great. all seem to have great bud production....better than any of the few strains i've grown before...

i think its also the most stable between the different phenos...id say as far as me being happy with the growing side of it i'd say its about an 8.5. im hoping the smoke measures up. some trichs are so big you dont need a magnifying glass to see them!

and thanks for putting the video up on here...i tried but it wouldnt let me for some reason...

No problem bro. I try to do one seed order a year and I always agonize over it. There is so much I want to try and finding the "holy grail" of strains is a never ending quest. This year I went with White Berry, Vortex, and Apollo 11. I already started the Vortex and it will be going into the bud room here in about 4 days. The 3 strains I got were all 7 week strains. Finding the right balance of potency, bag appeal, ease of growing, taste, smell, etc...............it's enough to drive a man to toke. Wait! I already do that!

tell me about it. i can't make a decision ever because im always worried about being upset with the end result...

im always looking for those hybrids between two great strains thats just not well known...trying to get a jump on the next big thing before everyone else...

its just so hard because i look at attitude or single seed center (or where ever) looking at breeder after breeder...i find one that sounds good...then search smoke/grow reports/reviews...its hard because you find 5 different reviews on the same ONE strain and get 5 different opinions...

some claim the germ rate is poor or that it isnt as potent as it should be, etc. etc. etc.

i been looking at a lot of strawberry strains (ie. strawberry kush, strawberry diesel, strawberry d-lite)...i been looking at LSD, Blue cheese, Pineapple chunk, Vanilla kush, and laughing buddha from barneys...and a few other seedbanks...i cant just narrow it down.

ive considered everything...from nirvana to dna...to some pretty unknown seedbanks...im just hoping not to get screwed especially since im going to be using both 600w systems next time so my bills will be high...dont wanna pay high bills to end up with garbage so i know how u feel.

really i should have ordered my next strain like a week ago but im giving myself till the end of the weekend and i still cant decide...

im thinking about just picking two strains instead of one (as choosing one seems so hard this time)...i would just do the white berry again but im on a mission to try many different strains to find the best...

so i know how u feel. i've spent 5+ hrs a day recently looking at breeders and such...its a pain...too many choices...

keep doin ur thing fam those gurls lookin nice

care to guess the yield anyone?

I've never heard the word 'nigga' so many times in about 20 seconds. good video, shit music.

Re-veg takes a very long time to happen... Patience is the only tool when it comes to reveg. Well that and veg nutes and 18/6 lighting.

so no time in the dark after harvest?

correct me if im wrong but i can take off all the buds so long as i leave all the leaves?

the 18/6 schedule and veg nutes part i got down.

thats why im curious as to what i did wrong...

I personally would leave some bud on it. It can only help expedite the photosynthesis.

Soil. Fed with Humboldt Nutrients full organic line brewed in bucket with 2 medium air stones 2-3 days. More heavy with the N (grow natural) next time

I sprouted 6 seeds. 3 Paridise Seeds Whiteberry. 1 Greenhouse Seeds White Widow. 2 Greenhouse Seeds Arjan's Strawberry Haze.

This is the stain that made the cut out of the 6. Now her clones fill my med flower room. Smells like lemon and berry starburst until she ripens. Then its blueberry nectar. I had to reveg her and she took on purple hues that continued to the clones. Leave some of the smaller flowers and veg in 18 hours for about a month. In about two weeks the hormones will be back to initiate veg and the buds will start putting out new shoots. in another 2 weeks you should have some good VIGEROUS clippings. Mine shows roots in 8 days now with diy bubble cloner 75 degree F solution. When you start 18 hour day start giving her nitrogen. For fast acting N I like Fox Farm Grow Big. I know you have already done what you did with the plant since I am late to the post. The runner up of the six was the Arjan's Strawberry Haze. It took 90 days of flower and I got about 5 ounces off of it. The high was "Panty Dropper." If it wasn't so long to flower and more potent I'd of kept it around. I am going to start 5 Tangarene Dream in a couple weeks and 1 G13 x Haze. Whiteberry is definately my favorite indica all around. Keeping the Whiteberry mom to X with G13 Haze pop.

I thought the tracks were pretty dope... I also like when you fly through the middle of your canopy with the cam, makes me feel like I'm in a helicopter in the amazon jungle haha Sometimes I like to keep GI Joes in my crops, same kind of deal. And it gives me something to play with when I'm high and not wanting to work on the babies... Though I haven't got high in 30 days!
