Of everything in my grow room, I'm amazed at how healthy the four Northern Berry plants are. So forgiving for a novice grower, and they all look almost identical to one another. I've had some light-burn issues over the past couple weeks with a handful of plants in the room, but these four seem to thrive no matter how bad I treat them. MikeJ's years of efforts show in these.

...and when I say, "healthy," I mean by my own, low standards because this is only my second grow ever.

I'd say that Peak's Kush Northern Lights is a close second place for ease of growth. It's also a very forgiving one. Blueberry is a total disaster, lol, but I'd be happy if just one of four I planted ends up being a decent female so that I can clone it. If I posted pics of my BB you'd laugh.

Looks like nute burn on the one photo bomber leaf bottom right corner and right on the verge of some burn with the main NB. What are you feeding?

I do see what you're saying. Just Stepwell Super Soil and water right now. However, I didn't have these nute-burn issues in my first grow, so I'm wondering if the Fox Farm Happy Frog I used this time around for the seedling phase may be causing the difference. I didn't use Fox Farm during my first grow and never had these issues. Maybe I should start a grow thread in the general forum ... I need as much help as I can get.

Well we’re all still learning right. You may have just transplanted a little early but if that was the issue they’ll be moving along just fine I’m sure. The BB father is supposed to be nute sensitive so this could be your culprit. A nice compost tea might help bring things back into balance but my guess is it was just their roots venturing into the new soil and got a bit of a shock

I’m experiencing the exact same things with both strains as you. All the kush crosses are healthy and all symmetrical.
The bb is a disaster. I’m trying my best to nurse them back. I’m blaming it on sensitivity to nutes. I tried to warn my partner about it when he transferred them. But sometimes old dogs don’t listen to young cats.

Chopped 2 Northern Berry at 55 days and bubblegum koolaide smell is back. 20% amber trichs and most all rest cloudy. One slightly more sprawling but buds similar and seem quite firm. Hanging in the dark.

2 Northern Skunk girlsearly in flower to keep Peak interest.

Wow, I’m sure that pic is going to cause some envy here, considering how tough BB is to grow. Great work!!! How many weeks of 12/12 is it at?

Thank you. 71f, so 10 weeks 1 day.

It is big, but it's far from a great job. Pretty much every plant of this pheno has foxtailed badly. I have two more in a different cab just past the 6 week mark with no foxtails yet. If they finish like that, I'll know these earlier ones were environmental. Plus the tip burn. I hate tip burn.

Here's a closer look at the foxtails. Lower down appears to be finished, or nearly finished, but it keeps throwing these out. It is frustrating.


It looks like it should dry out to well over 5 zips, so I got that going for me. BillMurray.jpg

Try reducing your light schedule to 11 on / 13 off. If you do your research, DJ short and I know Snowhigh (from email) both use 11/13, even for indicas. I have permanently switched to 11/13 for everything, even with indicas, since my last run and everything was fine.

11/13 will prevent late stage re-flowering. Many old timers and breeders use this light schedule.

Snowhigh even recommended to me to use 10.5 / 13.5 and he said that's the sweet spot for ALL plants!

DJ Short said that night time is when the plant put on weigh (i.e. resin, leaves growth, etc). I have not done comparative test myself, but all of the flowers from the 11/13 run with 3 different strains were all caked and resinous.

For veg, I use 17on / 7 off. When people veg 24 on, I shake my head and move on. What a waste of electricity.

Hey all, I'm starting to have some rookie issues with my Peak grow.

I hope it's ok if I do this here, but I posted a new thread on the forum asking for some help, with pics. I'd really appreciate any help from the PSBC grow experts here:

Help!!! What am I doing wrong with these plants????

Hi All, I successfully completed my first grow of cannabis last year, but am struggling a lot with grow #2. I was looking up nutrient issues here, as well as other places online. I can't tell if I have too much or too little of any nutrients, it's confusing! I did my first grow with Stepwell...

Thanks.

I dunno man, this might be easier to say for me cuz I’m not her Daddy but if those tails still burn when you put a flame to them I don’t think you’ll mind one bit. My BB beans might wait until I get my outdoor strains figured out but after these pics of yours I’m very excited to run them

Also Growers! Did you guys hear from Mike about his customer appreciation sale? 4 packs for $100. You pick 3 he picks 1 and it’s likely something new. I also just noticed there’s 3 new Hazes on there now. I almost didn’t read the list, thought it was the same

I saw that. I'm well stocked from chucks but it's a good chance to add to the collection for anybody on the fence about trying Peak.

I've only tried one of his newest crosses. Popped two SSxHaze and ended up culling both after about 3 weeks. They were both ugly and discoloured and one especially was runty. I'll try the rest of them in the fall when I start up again after a summer break. I just assume that all new crosses take time to dial in, since all his established lines are so good. Who knows, some genetics just don't pair well.

Funny I just realized there’s 3 new hazes and the SSxHaze is gone. I think I have some of those in my stash. I had my order all set and now I can’t decide with the Hazes. I’m looking for a couple nice outdoor Sativa dominant strains
