Dutch Passion Blueberry

[flashgee]

"heavy feeders" they are normaly not to good at taking
a high amount of nutes, or did you just mean that they
had water without nute more ?

a few months back i got a 10 pack dp blueberry. i germed all 10 they did great until flowering. I had 8 Hermies and lost one more to grow room mishap. so right now i have one left and its about 1 1/2 weeks from harvest. And all i can can say is WOW this girl looks great so frosty. she is taking a liitle longer than my white russians, but i know its worth the wait. blueberry seems to be a great one to grow if you got the time,patience and a green thumb. cant wait til this weekend harvest time for the white russian.

i was in coco and usually feed at around 8-900 ppm. with the dp bb i was feeding around 12-1300 ppm 2x a day, i was very surprised.

to this tread and let us know how your
doing

8 hermies ooooouch!
why do you think you got the hermies? did they come under any stress or do you think they were genetic/

i would of thought you'll could of ran into trouble with the high ppm.most poeple that grow them say to keep the nute low, even dj short say not to over feed and he gave dp there blueberry

 

[Bucket head]

yeah, that's where i think i went wrong. My nutes peaked around 1500ppm in flowering. I guess to much stress to early, but either way i am so looking forward to harvesting my one Dp blueberry she is beautiful.

Hey, I'm on my third grow of DP feminized blueberry from a 10 pack. I did 5 a few months ago, flowered them from seed, and got two different phenos, one was kinda airy and hairy, but nice an crystaly, very sensetive to nutes. the other started forming ball like leaf curls, with cool ass clusters all over the place, the final product was one fat nug with little legs coming off of it. it looked fuckin cool. Decent yeild, but nothing spectacular. The high was great, up lifting, no couch lock, after 4 day hang dry, it tasted nice. after 1 week cure it tasted even nicer, kinda hazy, lemony, piney, after 2 weeks you really started getting some sick flavors in there, it tasted really crisp and clean, with a strong punch after you exhale the bong. The smoke tastes sooo nice, with a reallly haaazzzyy smoke smell after you exhale, all my freinds were like shiiit dude whats that!!!! They stretched a decent amount, 2 inch nodes...Now I am left with my last 4 clones, Theese started flowering Oct 9th. that makes it 63 days, and I havnt picked anything yet. fortunately they turned hermi and I started noticing a few seed sacks about 2 weeks ago. I would say I'm gonna get 10 seeds outa the whole bunch. I'm happy about that... Theese phenos are great, therye kinda mix beween pine cone and hairy, Not too dense, but super frosty, thrichs are almost all milky but nothing amber yet. no clusters or curling leaves like the other pheno i had, its not to stinky either unless you touch it...I vegged them for about a month, and flowered them when they were about 3 feet tall. they stretched about 6 inches in flowering. Im guessing ill get an ounce 1/2 per plant, hopefully a bit more. All grown in soil organicly fox farm. I am goign to pick them in 1 week. been giving them plain water for 2 weeks so far. With this plant its all about patience for the taaassstteee....

yeah dude, this blueberry is all about Patience. its hard not to cut mine down right now even though she looks ready. But i guess good things come in time.
im hoping for a good yield outa this one maybe 2-2.5 zips. i will see if i can get a few pics up here later on today.

"I vegged them for about a month, and flowered them when they were about 3 feet tall. they stretched about 6 inches in flowering."

We had amazingly different stretch, mine went from 16" double topped in veg to 44" middle flower.

I assume yours are single cola?

Did you use Fox Farm soilless and nutes? What size bucket?

What kind of light? HPS/MH? 2100K? 400W-1000W?

thanks

[Bucket head]

mine were vegged for 32 days and went into flower at 14 inchs.
now the one female i have is about 43 inchs tall she i so frosty.
I am using a lumatek 600 watt digital with mh/hps dual arc buld.

 

[jonnyk]

hey Hobbes, I pruned my clones twice each, so they all have four big coronas, I used fox farm ocean forest soil, with organic nutes. 600 W digi HPS. 3 gallon buckets. maybe the reaosn mine didnt stretch as much as your is due to the 2-3 week period before I flowered them. They were kinda in limbo, recieveing 12-18 hours of light each day due to some issues with the grow room. So they pre flowered while I was trying to keep them for mothers, instead I said fuck it and flowered them. So maybe they strecthec a little before they went in to flower. Also it might have been 6 inches to a foot of stretch now that I think of it. Im going to pick them in 5 days. and counting. Mybae we can share some photos guys!!

Thanks Jonnyk and Bucket head!

Bucket, if I can be so bold as to use your first name, did you top your plants or single cola? What medium & nutes? How long are you into flower and how big are (is) the cola(s)?

How do you like the dual arc bulb? How do they split up the wattage on a 600W bulb? What is the color K?

i only topped two plants out of six. for the nutes, i used advanced nutrients sensi grow for vegg and bloom plus bud blood, big bud and overdrive in flowering. I used drip iragatin in vegg then switched to ebb n flow for flower i used rockwool as the medium. And i love the results that my new 600 watter has been giving. The bulb is split in 300/mh and 300/hps it runs off my lumatek digi ballest

 

[420weedman]

i got my 2 blueberry clones ready to go into flower room, just need to wait a week to spread out my harvests

 

[Hobbes]

Bucket do you have any problem with your digital ballast not lighting sometimes? I've got a Gallaxy 600W and I have to plug it in a dozen or more times before it starts. I've got 1000W coil ballasts that work fine off the plug and I have an MH and a HPS bulb for the electronic ballasts, the MH a Life Light made for electronic ballasts.

I'm thinking I have a defective ballast.

[Bucket head]

sorry to hear that hobbes your ballast is probably on its way out. The lumatek digi that im using hasn't giving any problems whatsoever. I would contact the company you got it from and see if you have any warrenty still left.

 

[Bucket head]

dry weight is in for the two WR's I cut down last week. 140 grams off two plants.

 

[Hobbes]

"your ballast is probably on its way out"

I think so too. I emailed the online shop that I bought it from and they said they'd mail me a new ballast, didn't ask for the old one back. Strange.
