Harvest a Pound Every Three Weeks!

I know that this is off topic but I know you guys will help. I have built the cloner but am still gathering everything for the flower units. So I am just finishing what I have in dirt before starting the SB system. Can anyone tell me what they think about this Blueberry? It is 5 1/2 weeks into flowering. Does it look like it is getting close for flush time? Should I wait for some changes before I start flush? Any and all suggestions appreciated. These pics are from today.
Oh and the last 2 pics are both in 1st week of flower but the first(next to last) is Blueberry Feminized and the second is an Unknown(but killer) strain. Does the last one look like it needs more nitrogen? It is considerably less dark green than the other but on the same nutes. Should I up the N? Thanks guys!
Please help and for flushing in soil (all organic) should I use water or maybe add sweet? Also these first ones were from seeds so I have one that is already having most hairs turning brown on top 2/3 should I move it up a week? Thanks guys as I have never grown organic and flushed inside. Here are the pics again.kiss-ass

Hey guys I got a stumbling question that some of the pro's here might be able to answer.
Does anyone know what would keep a plant from flowering? It has been 7wks since I turned the lights back
and this one plant still doesnt even have pistils yet. (actually it has just a couple so I know its female, that happened around 2-3wks tho)
I have 3 of these plants that all started at the same time, got same nutes, basicly exact same care but only two of them
actually are flowering. This has been puzzeling me any help is appriciated!

First of all, this thread is long enough without going OT. I would suggest you post this in https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/

You will also need to provide some more information. What nutes are you using? What strain are these? Were they started from seed or clones? Remember, seeds can produce more than one pheno so just because they were started all at the same time, doesn't mean they will show the same characteristics. You really should only keep clones of the better flowering on and get rid of the others if they aren't producing. That's what breeding is all about, selecting for the traits we want.

I'm far from an expert but those look very sativa dominant. I would also think they would be showing more flowering by now but some sativas can take 15-20 weeks before they finish flowering and are ready for harvest so you might only be halfway there or less. I have never grown a sativa, so I don't know if they take longer to start flowering. Did you use any PK boosters?

I'm sure if you post in the Problems forum linked above, you will get a lot of help. :peace:

I wasn't really trying to make this a big ordeal or anything because i really dont care that much. I just know that everyone that I have been talkin with on here is pretty smart and I just figured I would ask because im tryin to finish them up because im usin stinks system now.
Anyways they are Thai x Skunk from Amsterdammarijuanaseeds.com
Grown from seed and with Gh flora series nutes , two 400 watt HPS Son Agro Bulbs
Yes they are allmost pure sativa, 6ft tall!

I have had success with the AeroCloner - thanks, Stink - and the rest of you for the help and inspiration. I was able to root a batch of Headband on the first round - which was expected as it can root in as little as 4 days in rockwool!

The OG Kush I have can be harder to root - 2 weeks in rockwool. After 10 days, I took a look in the cloner and saw some solid starter roots on all wth yellowing leaves. Judging by the size, I am guessing the first roots must have actually shown a day or 2 ago. Most of the upper, woodier cuts are not showing roots--yet!

Also pictured, I have a 3rd batch of HB that I put in a few days ago - this stuff loves the AeroCloner!

I think a stinkbud jr is an excellent idea.

CHeck it out man.. i plumbed the lights tonight, and the room is chillin perfect now.
Perfect! Yeah, Dirt.

Sorry to hear about the flood... those little press in fittings are kind of sketchy... is your PSI over 65? I ask, because, I have run that little water tubing with push-in fittings all over the place!

Yea Lion..im just about to take cuttings from my new clone lineup. My (sfv) og kush clones are looking good , headband also, sour diedel and dabney blue are all looking steller... my one pre 98 bubba is still fighting to make it but it was a freebee beacuse it was so small and didnt look like it had a chance,,but its gonna pull through and keep me at 100% success.

Im excited to see how these new strains do. Im want to narrow the list down to 4 of the dankest big yielders...

On a side note....YAY OBAMA...no more federal raids in california!!!

hey stinkbuddys I took a cutting of a bigger one in veg at 2000 ppm and put it right next to its mom in the veg unit with the ppm that high of nuits and in 9 days it got nice roots. skipped the aerocloner all together as an experiment and it worked. took a day longer than the rest but it still worked. This system works so good its to easy.

I'd be curious to know how well that cutting continues to grow, Andy. Let us know if it continues to grow normally or whether it is stunted for some reason. Of course it's not something we'd want to do regularly since we need that 3 week cycle to keep the whole cycle going...but pretty cool that it rooted any way.

That's interesting that you would say that.

In my StinkBud Jr. system I was thinking if a single cloner/veg system would be the best way to go.

I was going to use a small 10 gal. roughneck for the cloner and dual 10 gal. for the veg system. I thought I would make it so you could just use the veg system for everything if you wanted.

I was thinking that you would have to run water and then add nutes after the roots pop. It would be nice to run the system just like you did with your experiment though.

That way you could have 6 plants in veg and 6 clones in the same container.

I was even thinking of a mini 3 gal. cloner. Just big enough for 6 plants. Maybe a little 150 GPH pump....

speaking of 3 week cycles, how would the schedule work if you had 4 flower units? of course you would need one more 14 hole veg unit,,,and my cloner has 28 holes, and i could drill out a few more to be safe. But what kind of timeline would work?

Im thinking that filling every hole in the clone and veg units all the time will probably work.

Yeah - me too - very excited to Stink up my fav strains!!! I'm sure the Bubba will pull! You want to keep your 1000 batting average!

And - DOUBLE YEAH on our man Obama! Cases are getting thrown out left and right - cops are having to return record amounts of medicine to the clubs they stole it from! The times they are a really changin'!

No shit, Andyman? Wow! Kind of goes against all I have learned - but I like it!

I personally just use the veg for cloning too - I like the way you can easily take the lid off the veg unit - makes it easy to simply change out the whole unit - and I like the higher level for cuts too.

Yeah, Stink - great idea on the MiniMedicineMaker! You continue to be THE MAN. Thanks again!

I've put a lot of thought into adding a 4th system and my best conclusion for having 4 would be to have 2 flower units on the same schedule so you would end up with a double harvest every 9 weeks. I then decided it may be easier to just make the unites each 5-6 holes bigger. Adding 6 holes would actually end up being more than a 4th unit and shouldn't take up much more room. All depends on how big your room is! I'm going to start building the larger units in a few weeks, first I need to get a second veg unit up and running.

Im flowering in (2) 14gal totes stacked now. cause my flower room isnt ready yet. it keeps it at a taller height than I want but oh well. I spaced 6 plants in the top and made my manifold inside a dif shape rather than an H
and it keeps all the roots to there own side kinda like the netting but inside. The one reason Im doing it this way is cause Im flowering bag seed and I want enought vertical height for the roots so when any mj get balls I can pull them without the roots being to intertwined. I even cut off several feet of roots before putting them in, and there doin fine. one plants less than a foot tall I had 4-5 foot long root masses on them. It never even fazed them they took off fine and even grew quicker when I changed the light and introduced them to hps and 2- 105w sho cfl's I will post pics soon
