Hi all, my very first grow.
Should have started it around 6 weeks back but was very busy with stuff so here is my first journal.
Firstly I would like to dedicate this grow to RIU, Kevin Murphy, Cannawizard, Cranker and Hoenheim for the support, if i missed any names I will come up with it soon :).
I know I might sound stupid but its a big deal for a noob.
From day 1 to now I might actually use just this thread and update it later...
hope mods are ok with it..

Here we go,
Setup is a vacant space under the table.
lights just 1 45 cfl for veg and 1 45w cfl for flowering.
One 20cm / 2.5 l pot.
manure mixed with topping soil.

Firstly she sprouted on direct soil medium in like 18 hrs.made sure soil was moist and not wet. she looked pretty big, maybe coz its a magical sight for a noob :shock:
day 1.jpg

For like 3-4 days i let her grow on her own
then moved her to her space, she didnt have any issues, when this struck on day 10...

Got advice and found out that it was the water, as i have been giving her direct tap water, my bad :(, and then used boiled tap water rested for atleast 6 hours...

from then onwards got myself a thermometer and worked on temps and she pulled it off but still managed to still curl her fans a bit on day 11...started 7-7-7 nutes 1-15 parts water, did a great job.

Day 19:
She was alright and still had those curls but new growth was vigorous started to maintain a routine to water her every couple of days only, she loved it.day19.jpg


Day 22:
Still growing, confirmed by fellow RIU pals that she starting her flowering...beautiful indeed. kept her on 20/4 cycle for around 2 weeks, and didnt notice much difference

Day 27 :changed the light to 2700k cfl and then added a candle 2700k, i underestimated the candle but was actually doing a great job with side growth with pistils...


Day 42,
Got advice again on her light setup from RIU pals and stuk to this setup...and she doesnt sleep anymore...so back to 24/0l2.jpg

Today Day 44...
Visible growth still, but was a bit worried when the small hairs in the nodes turned amber... hope its alright, as I didnt want to stress too much, she also gave me a lot of stress, a noob cant complain about everything :evil:
here she is...

Day 46
Just watered her and still cant smell much of the blueberry I was told about, but smells like some cola flavoured candy with a potpourri tinge.
Also posted some pics of her hair turning amber on top cola,

and some in calyx between nodes....

wonder if the pistils start turning colour after 21 days of flowering is normal or not :? ...
:peace:

Hoenheim bro, do the small leaves between buds produce trichome???
I can see salt like crystals on my leafs...
:peace:
oh yeah. they do. in fact those trichs on the bud leaves mature faster than the trichs on the bud themselves. so be careful when inspecting for ripeness if that the route you choose to determine that they match. i had amber trichs on my bud leaves weeks before my buds turned amber. those leaves are often what is used for hash. i trimmed and kept them for canna butter

tp.jpgcrl.jpg

When I looked closer from my last update she did look like shes grown a satsfactory amount...

Finally I just want to know if its OK to add a 45w 6400k cfl or will it slow flowering?
or is it OK to add a 23w 1400lumen cfl ....
or do nothing and just continue as it is...
as I have to meet a deadline.... and any predicticns on how long left to harvest??

Hope she is fine!! :weed:

Anticipating your valued input guys!!!
:peace:

nice bro its looking good there. not gonna throw a projected harvest time at you. shes frosty and looking grown. its hard to tell from the look of your pistils. i know b4 my last harvest after the 72 hrs of darkness i gave my garden they seemed to have still white pistils. i went on the color of my trichs. i may have been able to give another week or so, but the quality is still very good. its just up to you in the end. good job man

guys any idea why I cant smell the 'wonderful' blueberry 'dank' aroma its supposed to have like the breeder said...now it only hits a short burst of some weird candy cola smell when I open the ventilation :?
and only when I stick my nose right above her pistils :? So if its less dank is it less potent??
:peace:
