Blue Mystic, House & Garden, 600 Watt sealed room grow
- Thread starter Qwisty
- Start date
The last few days plants have been consuming 2-3 gallons a day. PPM's were reaching 875-925 as a result. Plants are now showing signs of new nutrient burn and some leaf cupping again. Plants still do not seem to like anything above 800 PPM. It seems H&G needs to be run at almost 50% of recommended flower strength.
Note to self: check rez level more often and add water to keep PPM's down.

Hey Qwisty, I'm really like this grow. It's good that your taking all these notes, helps me out quite a bit. I just did a quick readthrough of your grow again, I was wondering what kindof hydro this is? Misters?
Also just wondering what your square foot is for the room?
I'm running H&G too, I'm learning how to work the ppm now, I was going crazy high ppm before like 1700ppm, haha didnt kill them though!

Yeah, I needed to keep a journal so I could remember what worked and didn't work. That way the next time I grow Blue Mystic I can do better.
It's just a homemade system. I used a Bontanicare rez and tray with a lid. I then used EZ clone nozzles. Pretty much same concept as Stinkbuds design, I just made some changes that worked better for me. I'll be building a new system after this grow because I've already identified a few areas of improvement. I'm also only going to be growing 1 plant in a SCROG. These 4 plants are too much lol. If they keep growing much more I'm going to run out of room between my light and the plants lol. The room was originally two side by side closets. There is about 45 total square feet of space with 3 separate rooms, one of which is a lung room with the AC.
Yeah.. these Blue Mystics don't seem to want a lot of nutrients. They are drinking A LOT of water though.

Just looking back at a picture you put up about two week ago and the temperature reads 77degres. Why not let it rise up a bit more to 80-85F? Not sure how true this is but Ive read thats more like the ideal range when using CO2 enrichment
I do usually keep it around 80-85. Sometimes it will drop down to 75-77 after an exhaust cycle. I have some serious CFM's so when it vents it drops the temps down quick. The room will exhaust about once every two hours or so due to humidity or heat build up.
FLUSH...
Well I decided to just be safe.. I'm doing a full flush. I'm currently running 30ml of Clearex per gallon through the system for about 1 hour. One of my plants had a lower branch that was looking pretty unhappy. The branch and it's leaves were getting very little light. I decided to whack the entire branch off. Hopefully it won't stress the plant out too bad. I figure it will be happier without the branch. During the flush I also realized that my drain was starting to get clogged by roots. I carefully pulled the roots out of the drain area of my aeroponics chamber. Hopefully it doesn't stress the plants out.
We learn from our mistakes.. my lesson was don't use Bud XL to soon and don't overlap with Multi-Zen. Other than that, I'm still pretty optimistic I will have a decent yield for my very first ever grow.
I also picked up some 35% H202 and I'm looking at the best way to administer it. I wasn't sure if it would mix with Clearex so I didn't attempt it.
Working in the dark.. joy..

Hopefully that flush helps
Just out of curiousity did you notice if the ppm climbed during that hour during the flush?

Yeah, I kept the flush going until the PPM's quit climbing. Starting point was 5.7 PH and 100 PPM. Ending was 6.2 PH and 140 PPM.
Took some pics while the lights were off.. gonna post em in a min.

they look great! and i love to give more nitrogen they always do use it and the nice green color it gives is great too!

Looks like only a few were affected by whatever it was but it does appear some have a bluish tinge to them.. It is weird because both Bud XL and Multizen are Enzymes with no NPK values. So I am curious what using at the same time would actually do. H&G has been giving me troubles lately and I used for a couple years with NO deficiencies. I've read claims multiple times the last few months of people claiming their quality has got worse but I don't necessarily believe it.

just harvested 2 clones, they could have went a week longer, 67 days of 12/12, around 60 days of flowering, this pheno could easily go 65-77 days in 12/12. only 3 weeks of veg, transferred into a 3 gallon pot once a week before flowering, from a 2 gallon pot. flowered under a 600w hps.Hopefully they DO turn blue.. they are Blue Mystic's. Most folks who grow the strain though rarely ever get the blue buds. The conditions have to be almost perfect. This is my first grow ever so I don't really have any experience to look back too. Hell, I don't even know if my current grow is on par with the average.
Yeah, I read that this strain takes 65-72 days. I'm currently on about day 25 of flower. If they keep growing at the rate they have been, they are going to be enormous.
Does anyone know if growing in low pressure aeroponics causes the flowering period to be shorter?

mine turned pink indoors and were purple outdoors, they matured faster outdoors, about 55-60 day maturation while indoors its taken about 63 days and still had a few days left, probably due to being rootbound.
Here we are at 26 days flower..

9-10 weeks was the right time to cut these girls down, i smoked some dried buds about 3-4 days in the jar and the smell is already kicking in, loosing the green smell and taking on the violets/bluebery on one and Blueberry muffins on the other... very clean head high doesn't improve mood much but it does make working with pain manageable as well as giving you a severe case of "the floaties", i know this stuff does great when cured for months, comparing it to my last run isnt fair (1/8th left of it in a jar curing till 420) but it will be better once 420 comes around. head high is a major creeper but the stone/body portion is almost immediate. Hope you enjoy it, i had to kill a few crappy plants to find these 2, i stress test anything i grow, and if it herms it dies, this strain was great overall on stability (regs seeds not fem fyi).
