I see a lot of pics during flower of plants that have very few Fan Leaves. Does it shock the plant at all to remove some of these? I didn't trim anything back in my previuos grows until late in flowering but the leaves seem to be much larger this grow. I have some on these plants that are huge (almost dinner plate size). Just started flowering yesterday...

High All, well todays the day, HARVEST TIME!!!!:hump: the 250 closet grow has come to an end and is going DIE!!!!:cry: :twisted::twisted::twisted:

She did extremely well! she lived life in a 3 gallon planters pot in a combo of happy frog and oceans floor soils! and seemed to luv it! she'll be missed! lol!!! but her fruits will be loved:hump:

Below are some pics of her and her sister (which was grown outside) the sun obviously kicks a$$ on a 250, but the "little light that can" did very well for itself!!! I'm very happy with what I can do with 250 watts of light!!:twisted: below are at 85 days for the 250 and late may for the outside girl! thanks for looking. yeti:joint:
:mrgreen: High All, Well as of today the official weight is 118 grams of bud (dry):bigjoint: and 478 grams (frozen from cut) of popcorns!!;-) it smells and taste amazing!!!! not bad for 250 watts ayyyyy!

Tie the leaves down or tuck them, they will yellow out and fall off if they aren't getting light. you can trim the bottom up some but I wouldn't recommend it in flower. Trim in veg.

I grabbed a 2 5/8" extension for the Mogul socket in my CoolTube, I think that the lamp position may have something to do with the difference in growth of my BM/MM grow.

Before..

Couple days into Flower.. Blue Mystic is a girl :clap:.. The Mutant is playing hard to get..:roll:

Grazz
Lol males usually show first, so that's a good sign. Plus if the mutant is being a hard to get girl, you know it'll be worth it ha ha. She'll be a gold star ;-) lol.

Finally see some roots on my Clones, I don't think I did it exactly right but so good so far. :cool:
I used a DWC cloning kit and put the cuttings in 1 1/2" rockwool cubes. The instructions that came with the kit said to keep the ends submerged in the cloning solution so I did.. I have no roots from the ends but there are now roots dropping down from the rockwool cubes . Not ready to call it a successful cloning yet but keeping my fingers crossed..

You've got roots, you're close now just hope they don't damp off. I think you'll be alright though.

These are my 250W pics, removed two of my plants today for bigger plans. I plan on flowering the Blueberry here (On the right) and using the Chocolope for clones, before I flower BB. The only plants I have flowered under this light were Fast Bud, and Speed devil (Auto flowers). Hopefully this light will yield me a couple ounces.... This will all be completed under one 250W Ceramic Metal Halide.

Doob,
(in reply to the journal entry)

I looked for male parts on the BM grow that the seed came from before, during, and after Harvest. I never found anything that resembled banana's or pollen sacs. I really don't know for sure but I did have the PPP grow from the year before that I chopped because it did hermie on me right near the end, I caught it before everything went to seed and chopped a week earlier than I wanted. I didn't clean the room, just cleaned the hydroton, tray and replaced the res. So there is a very good chance that some pollen from that PPP grow got the BM.

No, as much fun as it was to rebuild the room, I do not want to have to sanitize again..lol

* I ended up with 5 oz of dried, manicured bud from the Blue Mystic grow (all tops, I have the small stuff and trim in the freezer waiting to be qwiso'd) I found 7 viable beans during cure, one is in this grow...

Canopy update pic.. very happy with this :mrgreen:

The only reason I said to keep an eye on it is because you said in another post something about your heat. Other than that it could be the PPP I guess we will see, but keep an eye on the mutant just in case man lol. Looks great!

Ya, I will definately keep an eye on her because I don't know anything for sure. The temps have been great, between the modifications and the cooler weather (snow this AM) the temps have been min/max 54/75..

Grazz

Gonna put a little heat in the mother/clone area to try and keep the over night temp up a little.. closer to 65*F

Nice Grazz yeah winter seasons bring different climate control pros/cons for sure lol. Speaking of clone/mother areas I got my tent set up for that finally. Going to work on ventilation and heat tests tonight, yay. I'm frikkin' dying to get into bloom can't you tell? Lol.

Yeah, I can only imagine (because there have been no pics?) how big your girls are by now. Get them blooming girl!! As for winter temps, from what I have read about Blue varieties the colder nights should bring out the color in the buds..
