If you just flushed, I'd wait. You dont want to try to change your PH too fast. If you put 6.5 in and got 5.5 out. next time put 7.0 in and see if maybe you dont get 6.0 out? And yeah.... little to no light i dont think would be a problem. Like i said its in survival mode now it WILL make pollen unless it dies. No special attention is required.
That make sense?

Makes perfect sense.

So if I set the male near a window with blinds always shut so it gets some light but the light schedule is not 12/12 will it continue to flower?

Yup. Worse case senario it turns hermie, but you'll still get your pollen. It should only take a couple weeks for it to make mature pollen flowers.
I had a little incident with a hermie on my 1st grow. I was going to try to pick off the male flowers and let it keep making buds too. One day i was inspecting it for pollen sacks (to remove them) and i went to pluck one off and i saw the dust explode out of it. I had 6 other flowering ladies in the room with me. 3 of the 6 got pollinated. But only a VERY little because i got a grand total of 3 seeds. One from each plant. So anyway that was only about 3 weeks into 12/12. So that is how long it took for the pollen to mature. So you only need to keep it alive for a few weeks to get the pollen you need.

I see. Great info. Ill just keep it separated. So the pollen is ready when the little balls create a dust when squeezed? I'm assuming then that after I get dust on my fingers I can just rub it on the lower bud sites to make seeds?

Yeah i suppose with trained eye you can see when they are "ripe". They are large and swollen looking. After they burst they look like a little opened flower with petals. As for the actual....ahem...act ,lol.....put on some slow jazz, pop a bottle of your finest, and when the moment is right....bust a move! LMAO Good luck!

Photo's for today. Not sure how I feel about my Blueberry and mystery plants. I feel pretty good about my white widow. I am not, however, pleased with the fact that my male white widow is doing the best out of the 4. The male is painfully gorgeous. I hope the Blueberry does not become root bound by the time shes finished. What I am not pleased about is the lack of foliage. Part of me has to chalk it up to genetics while the other part of me has to say its my fault.

Oh well. Live, experiment and learn I suppose.

Well. Nothing really new to report. Bud sites are developing nicely across all 3 plants. Male plant is sitting atop my entertainment center. Showing no signs of any problems chilling up there. Some of the new lower leaves on the female white widow are growing deformed. Looks like a small N deficiency is also starting to kick in will probably flush her next week. Mystery is doing okay. Blueberry appears to be recovering but who the fuck knows. Will post pictures in the morning before work.

Hey everyone. Sorry I havn't updated in awhile. We're less then one week into flower and some of the bud sites on my blueberry are massive compared to their age. I know the photos are crappy Im going to try to get a better camera here real soon. After giving the blueberry nutrients last night I went to bed her growth exploded and she got alittle close to the HPS bulb and got a little burnt on the main cola. I think she will be alright. Its just a tiny tiny discolored area on the main cola.

Shit is fucking nuts guys. My blueberry is exploding in flowering. Massive nugs are already developing. As you can see in the photos the main cola got burned a bit but growth is developing and filling in the burned area. My mystery is fucking with my head. No obvious bud growth as of yet but its got massive hairs down the stem and hairs intertwined with the new growth coming out of the top. Definitely weird looking stuff. Lemme know what you guys think! Ill post more pictures through out the night.

Also, I already have massive amounts of resin forming at less then 2 weeks in to flower on the blueberry.

Here's some shots of some buds that are developing under the cola. These are roughly a quarter in diameter and in height! Like I said these are HUGE for being only a week and a half in flower! I cant wait to combine this with my bushy ass white widow. Quick growing, quick maturity, massive buds early and combine that with the short bushiness of the white widow male. Man this is going to be great! You guys and gals keep checking back for more daily updates!\

Oh yes. Before I forget. My MG problem with my Blueberry has been corrected. And corrected quite quickly I might add. However the nitrogen deficiency is still kicking my ass. While it has gotten better it simply refuses to go away completely. Very irritating. I found some blood meal at home depot 14-0-0 I think it was. Does anyone recommend this treatment method or should I keep doing what I have been doing and hope time takes care of it?

Looking good! Careful with the N during flower, too much N might result in a P or K def. Proper PROPORTION of nutrients in relation to growth stage is more important than just AMOUNT of nutrients. But... if you need N you need N just don't overdo it.

looking like your keeping them girls alive. they look very green to me. i wouldnt worry to much about the nitrogen rather the phosphorus for flowering. once your vegetative growth is finished and you are flowering you just need the flowering nutes. i like to give just a lil nitrogen after my 4th week flush. no more thereafter. watch how better your next grows will be after using what you have learned. i believe your using a 250hps like me. LST OR SCROG without any big screw ups and your yield will be BIG.
