Hello, I've been lurking here for a very long time, Did my first outdoor this year and trying my first micro grow currently. I have a dp auto blueberry it's 43 days old today, I just used MG soil in a 10 gal Rubbermaid tub for its container. Lol. I'm using 1 300 watt equivalent cfl, I think it is actual 65 watt... 1 55 watt, and a 5 of the 26 watt ones. I will post a timeline of pictures up to date soon but for now I'll just post two pictures of earlier today. Hope you like!

Good job on going inside to grow and pulling the trigger. What flowering time frame do your autos have? Keep with the pictures :)

Next go around just some suggestions but you can increase your final product with some good soil/compost and a basic nutrient regimen to take it to the next step. Also do you have any drainage holes on the container? I didn't see any in the pictures. Some drainage holes will help the bottom of your soil from becoming soup!

Yeah I drilled 1 hole every 2 inches all throughout the bottom, very good drainage. Yeah I diffidently wanted to get nutes but I have no good hydro shops or any nursery's at all really besides walmart/home depot and they have a limited amount. I guess I could order online like I did the seeds but that's where I was lazy. I suppose it's okay without them. It started flowering on day 27, that's the first time I noticed pistols on it. The plant is much larger than I really figured it would be.. I did no training topping, lst or anything, Just let it grow, I also have some Jack Herer seedlings crossed with reg dp blueberry started for after this grow, I wanted to get some pollen from one to get a few seeds crossed with the auto... I plan to get a pretty good sized grow tent and possobly LED lighting... But I still have this one to finish lol

fan leaves yellow right near the end of flowering - right before harvest when the plant is using up its stored nitrogen. plants should be an even healthy green right up until the end of their life cycle.

Awesome, Thank you. I just want to know in case some sort of deficiency develops I don't want to just think it is normal.

Nice plant. Overkill on the soil/pot size for an auto in my option, but looks good.

I recently just found out my beans I got from Canada were auto's.

Thanks! Yeah, I know the pot size is way overkill, my thinking in that was since it has a limited time to grow I wanted to guarantee it would have more than enough space for its roots.
Again thanks for stopping by!
