Due to overwhelming demand, here is the photo requested. I cut both of them in half and the pic is of half of each of them. BTW, it sucks to cut through hydroton!

Johnny the thermometer was close to the light; it wasn't actually 100 degrees on the plants.

I'm using Happy Frog with my blueberry strain. It is really good stuff! The big bud has been a lot easier to grow than the blueberry but I've still barely survived the grow to this point.

are u using any support for the grow bags... or r u just filling up and they are staying up by themselves???? by the way when u water your blueberry do u move the plants so that they can drain some where????

They are just freestanding, no supports needed. I water them every other day; I have 6 plants and I mix up 3 liters of water so it's not enough to go all the way to the bottom most of the time. That figures out to be about 1/2 liter per plant so it soaks into the soil and perlite pretty good.

Hey Mark, welcome to the forum dude! First of all I have to warn you about the bubbleponics system. Did you get it from Stealth Hydro? If so, you will definitely want to read some threads on here about them and their bubbleponics systems. I had 14 blueberry plants to die from their sorry "customer service" and that's typical of others here on RIU. The system is ok but it's really fussy and fragile. If you haven't started your grow yet I would highly encourage you to just use rock wool and see if you can return the bubbleponics system. Rock wool is soooooooooooo easy to grow in and so many less mistakes. *If* you screw up, the results won't be as disasterous and you'll have more time to recover than if you're growing in a bubbleponics system. OK, enough of the soapbox on that.

The girls are looking great this morning. I got down on my knees and took a look into the plants from the side and they have buds forming and trichs out the wazzoo. Here are the fresh pix:

I'm hoping for 9 oz dried off each plant but that's of course all up in the air. I don't smoke it before it's in the baggie, lol.

I'm just starting my 3rd week of flower Mark so I'm about 5 weeks from harvest at this point. The two plants are looking great this morning. Did my feeding and everything is coming along great. Here is the one pic. When you're down to 2 plants you don't need but one pic, LOL.
