Sorry to hear about the flu, bro. That shit sucks.

On a brighter note, I swear every time I look at your garden, it makes me drool. Truly a beautiful sight... :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Thanks man, the buds look so nice they almost seem fake! I never woulda thought in a million years I could grow something like this. Fantastic Genetics + Aeroponics + Co2 = bongsmilie bongsmilie bongsmilie

Wish I could roll a joint for everyone in here :peace:

[Update Day 57 of 12/12]
Ok, came down with some nasty flu virus and have been pretty much miserable for the last week. Didn't really check on the plants much, didn't wanna pass any germs to the buds.
So you're the one who gave this to me?! ;) I've been down for the last two days now, and last night I truly wished I was dead. Today death sounds a bit preferable to enduring this, but not quite as much as last night... "Nasty" doesn't begin to describe it! :evil:

I didn't even look at my plants once yesterday. Absolutely couldn't. Hell, I couldn't even get to bed on my own last night; I literally had to be carried to the bedroom! At least lots of maintenance had been done in the garden the morning before, so I knew everything was OK. Today I found myself being even more careful with covering my mouth while coughing near my plants than I am around people, as if they'd catch the flu from me. :lol:

Damn, that sux. I had a fever in the 102's, Took alot of Airborn (for the vitamins) and Tylenole Pm for the fever. Worked like a charm, I felt like a million bux couple days later. The trick is to get a ton of sleep and drink alot of liquids.

Seems like it's going around, my 2 roomates got it and passed it to me. I keept my plants sealed up the entire time and stayed out of the room. No way I'm gonna smoke bud thats infected with a flu virus, and I doubt anyone else would.

Hope you feelin better, Wish I could roll you up a J of this Blackberry, I guarantee you would sleep like a baby. :peace:

No one in my house has gotten it but me... they rarely catch anything! :roll: For which I'm glad, cause no one should be so miserable! My luck is that I rarely get fevers though; my normal temp is 97.5, which could have something to do with it. (???)

Lots of sleep and fluids is most definitely the key! :hump: And cough suppressant, and cough expectorant, and ibuprofen (Tylenol doesn't touch me), and lozenges with benzocaine in them (this one was particularly painful in the throat and the bronchial tubes)... I've been a walking pharmacy the last few days, but minus all the walking. :lol:

I had to water & feed my plants yesterday. Anyone else in this house would have over or under done it, and they can't go more than a day without watering now. Otherwise they'd have remained untouched. But now they can be left alone another day, and I can recover more.

Oh, I'll bet I'd sleep like a baby! :mrgreen: Two to three more weeks, and my first indica should be ready for chopping... indicas used to always help me sleep a lot more than I do now, so I'm holding out some hope that it'll happen again!

Take care of you, and may you have an abundance of spoons! :hug:

Hope all is well.

Got a couple better shots, I figured out how to focus this digi cam a bit better. Honestly the plants look done, I could harvest whenever. But I got alot of stuff going on this weekend so it would be better for me to wait and do it next weekend. Trics are about 60% Cloudy, 15% Amber, 25% Clear.

I'll start the flush on Sunday, and flush em till about Thursday. Then trim these beasts on Friday. Hands gonna be sore...

Not sure how much I got here, but if I had to guess... I would say 12 oz's. They are not the biggest yeilders, but the frostiest nugs I've ever seen. Smell like blueberrys, I've been feeding em Berry flavored Sweet as well. Wanted to give em Grape flavored sweet, but my local hydro shop doesn't carry it yet. Maybe next harvest.

Thanks man, honestly the pic's still don't do it justice. Wait till I snag some nice shots of the finished bud with the expensive camera.

I plan on ditching my 600w and upgrading to a 1000w light after this grow. My buds are decent, but going from 90,000 lumens to 145,000 would make a huge difference.

Eventually I am going to redesign my closet and use a water cooled tube for the 1000w and put it on a light mover rail. I currently have a 2'x3' screen. I wanna expand that to 2'x8' and use one light on a mover to cover the entire length of the closet. It helps if you have a pool with a pump running 12 hrs a day, just connect it to your pool system allowing you to put even a 1,000w light as close as 6 inches to your plants! Not to mention the heat displaced doesn't exit your roof where helicopters can see it, it heats your pool at the same time! Pretty awesome if you ask me.

The future of growing is now!

I was just looking at those water cooled tubes. I'm really thinking about it in the near future. I'll be getting an air cool tube before that, of couse. :bigjoint:

Lookin Sweet robot! I too have blackberry going on week 3...what ppm did yours do well at? and also did you go the full 9 weeks? Mine were under 24/7 veg lights so they took about 10-14 days to shows signs of flowering after switching to 12/12.

How'd it go bro? Harvest yet? I've been lurking in your thread for a while and watching the progress and I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed! Can't wait to hear the smoke report!

Hey Dirthawker, glad to see your still around. Throughout the grow I've kept the ppm's in the 1,200 range. Although I do belive she can go much higher, especially with co2. There was a couple times where I neglected my resevoir (due to the flu) and the water lvl dropped low and rose the ppm's over 2k, the plants didn't seem effected by it at all. Next time around I think I'll go for 1,400 and see how she likes it.

As of now they have gone 71 Days in flower (that's since I switched to 12/12). And I am starting my flush today and will flush for a good 5 days, so total time will be 76 days. However they didn't show buds for the first 2 weeks. So total time from when they showed sex will be 8.8 weeks.

How'd it go bro? Harvest yet? I've been lurking in your thread for a while and watching the progress and I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed! Can't wait to hear the smoke report!
It's going great man, I'm gonna chop em in 5 days and trim em. Then I'll hang em to dry for another 5-6 days and into the jars they go. I'll prolly cure em for 2 weeks before I sample, then I'll get a smoke report. But I have smoked BBK before and it was amazing! And since my nutrients are organic with berry flavored sweet, I imagine they will taste out of this world.

The future's so bright... I gotta wear shades :blsmoke:

I have a few ?'s

the rubbermaid tub is the veg setup from stinkbud's post, is it just the aeroponic part? no nft? and dod you use the same one for the whole grow or did you do one for flower and one for veg? sorry if you explained this already. I read the whole thread so it may have just nit sunk in.

also roughly how much room does that whole setup take?

I would recommend it, this is hands down the stickiest, Blueberry smelling delicious tasting and kick to your face high Medical Bud. Although I do have a few gripes about the fact that it's a low yielder.

wow very impressive, glad to see this strain turned out so nicely
It's delicious man, you just have to touch/smell it to appreciate it. Open a jar and the whole house smells like blueberrys. I love it.

I have two Stinkbud units. My Veg/Cloner is Stinkbud's Vegetative unit, I use this for both cloning and my vegetative phase with a 4x bulb T5 over em. It kinda acts as a NTF as well because the top container always has a film layer of water settling at the bottom where the long roots sit. And trust me, the roots get verrrry long in this system.

I then use Stinkbud's Flowering system to do the 12/12 phase. It's a modified system on his design, My closet is only about 2'4" Deep by 8' Long and 8' Tall. I use this to house both systems. I think I had more pics of my setup in my first grow journal.

Update on the Harvest, sorry no pics yet. I gotta borrow that good camera. Harvest was kinda a pain, it was so sticky it was really tuff work, fingers sticking together, scissors jamming. Took 5 people 4 hours.

The final weight was 8.6 Ounces and 8 Total Grams of Bubble Hash, and a Ton of Pot Butter.

I was initially upset with the final weight. If your gonna grow this strain, don't expect a huge yeild, she is definatly a low yielder (averaged 1.43 oz per plant). My last grow of Super Silver Haze with no Co2 or A/C avaeraged 1.6 oz per plant. Although this strain had a ton of hash for only a small ammount of trim. Usually trim to hash ratio is like 10-1, this stuff was like 5-1! And it is dank man. I smoke pretty much everyday and this stuff had me seeing funny, like the episode of That 70's Show where the walls in the background are teeter tottering back n forth... Ya, that to a T.

It's a knock you down kinda high, definate Heavy Body Stone. This is amazing if you have trouble sleeping or have restless leg syndrom. I toss n turn and have insomnia so this is amazing. I havn't sleep this good in years. You wake up feeling amazing, don't take Ambien, take Blackberry Kush.

I'll snag some nice pics of the buds with the Cannon cam, she is frosty.

I gotta admit it, this is the best weed I think I have ever smoked. The smell and taste can't be described in words. Made some tea as well, just insaine.

I've been smoking on some Bubba Kush and Afghani Kush, but no more. This stuff is the Bee's Knee's. Speaking of Bee's Knee's, I'm gonna get a few clones of Item 9 and try her as well. Also gonna give Kali Mist a try, it's time to mix sh!t up.

And I have a very special mix of beans from a good freind. I'll just say this, Cross Jack Herrer with Kali Mist and I got me some very naughty beans on my hands...

Will grab those pics and post up.
