Getting yummy.
Getting closer now! Patience is king....hard to wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great grow!

Looking sick handb....your grow has turned out amazing, a quick question not to intrude.... When you started the seeds in the pods, did you add any water or moisture to the pods where you put the germinated seeds? keep up the good work

I like that blue tint it has to that bud. Did you say that was bagseed. From those pics it looks like they have some blueberry genetics in it.

Wow those certaintly dont look like regular weed lol I can only hope my plants will look that good ! Im here with ya ll the way dawg!

does anyone use a fan and if so were is the best place to put it

I'll tell you where you can put it! Haha, just kidding, I use three HEPA filters which blow air like a fan. I place the biggest HEPA filter at the base of the grow, below the shelf, and it blows air upward. The other two smaller HEPA filters are placed on the shelf, on the sides of the plants, and they also blow air upward. I think the advantage of this setup is that it creates a 270° "wall of air" that keeps dust out. I should really take a video of this in action; I can load up a huge bong rip and try blowing it at my plants, and all the smoke is deflected before it reaches the plants--pretty sweet!

You and me both brotha, turn cloudy already trichomes!!!

Thanks herburky! Feel free to ask any and all questions! I did soak the pod sponge in distilled water before transplanting the germinated seeds. It may have been an unnecessary precaution, given that the Aerogarden pumps water to the sponges in a matter of seconds, but you can never be too safe!

Life is like a box of bagseed, you never know what you're gonna get!! Thanks for the support guys! I'm loving the blue tint too, it looks amazing alongside the frosty pistils It would kick ass if it had some blueberry genetics, I haven't had that in ages! I can tell you that the smell is a combination of diesel and citrus...mmmm...I wonder what strain it could be! Any guesses?

haha,

Yeah me too, not since I was 19 or so. Back when I was working at Denny's. I use to get the Afgan, and the cook had blueberry, Was some good shit. We traded and smoked all the time.

I am gonna pick up some blueberry seeds from BCSeedKing. Be nice to have some.

Man, blueberry sounds awesome right about now, it would be a nice nostalgic high I need to get some more seeds, BCSeedKing looks awesome! Is the stealth shipping pretty good? What are some other good strains of theirs?

A friend of mine from the forums turned me on to them. Somebeech. They have some good genetics, White Widow, Purps, Kush, Big Bud, Great White Sharck, Ice, Skunk, GodBud and more.

They have some good shit there. Good genetics too

my seeds aren't DP, but they're blueberry, check out my grow

 

[surfthebrainwaves]

wow man the plants are coming along amazing you should be proud had me worried for a bit there in the beginning but wow man theyre looking fantastic

Wow gotot, your grow is phenomenal, I can't believe you're just using CFLs!! I want some of that blueberry!!!! This is inspiring me to start a couple more soil grows, they're nice and low maintenance.

Thanks man! I'm getting really excited, so close to the finish line! I think I'm going to install a green light in the flowering room so I can enter at night. Last night, I was fumbling around in there for my jacket, and I accidentally tipped over my tub of ONA Gel! Not a big deal, but it could've been worse! At least I don't have to worry about odors in there for a while now

When do you plan on harvesting? Or about when. Its hard to guess if your like me and go by the trichcombes, when 85% of them are that mikly brown color, I harvest.

If I had to take a shot in the dark, I'd say 2 weeks; do you think that's a reasonable timeframe? Quite a few leaves are yellowing, but the buds look as healthy as can be--I'm going to take that as a sign that the end is near! I caught a few scattered milky trichomes the other day, but it couldn't be more than 10%. I added a 1/4 dilute solution of nutrients yesterday; it's probably going to be pure distilled water from here on out!

I've haven't flushed my reservoir since removing the AG nutrients in the vegetative stage, but it hasn't seemed to bother the plants. Should I just keep going, or should I flush before the final stretch?

 

[Hand Banana]

Hmmm...it looks like the plants didn't like that last dose of nutes, even though they were at 1/4 strength. Either that, or they didn't like the pH getting bumped back up to 6.0 from 5.5 The plants only used about 25% of the reservoir yesterday, when they normally suck up 75%, do you think I might have nute-lockout?

 

["SICC"]

Not too sure but it kinda sounds like it if there not drinking water

Man, I'd flush it if they don't rebound in a couple days or if they get worse. Prolly tho, they will snap back. If you change out your tank, use some CLEAREX and get all the salt deposits & shit outta your tank. Y ou still have those AG nute deposits...yuck! Just drain it and run 1 oz CLEAREX with any kind of water (I'd use tap for this) until your pH stops rising. Then drain it and add your new nute solution.
If yoo have to flush, you can also clean the pump filter & pull out roots while your at it.

You were right Hairy, they just bounced right back! I was also reading in the Soma grow guide that in the final 2-3 weeks, the plants use less water, so we're getting close! Yesterday, they used about half the reservoir, which sounds just about right in my book. Unless the plants worsen, I'm just going to keep things consistent, and see how far I can get without flushing. The leaves on all the plants are all starting to turn a lighter shade of green, but they look healthy otherwise; that should be normal 6.5 weeks into flowering right?

Another interesting thing to note, I turned my temperature down from 70 to 65 degrees about a week and a half ago to keep the humidity down, and several leaves on my sativa have turned purple!!! The leaves still look waxy and healthy, just purple; neat trick!

How far along into flowering are they at now. From what you are saying, it sounds like they only have a few left. I see you had to flush and get rid of the salts, and once you did that they popped right back up huh? Salt buildup is a problem alot of newer growers have during the end. But you were given good advice and it looks like the problem is solved.

So, are you going for like 85% I go for that number because I like the downer high. Like to relax and veg out.

They should still be green if you're still feeding them full strength blooming nutes. Your temp of 65f is way to cold for them, especially during flowering. You want to keep the temps UP, between 75-80 and that'll help the resin build up on the buds..If you have a hunidity problem, maybe you need more ventilation in your grow space.
