I get Bubblegum Sweet Smell,but other than that ,this Is Hash Plant for Sure .Just shows ya too that a plant does not need a lot of feed ,this girl spent most of her early life on water,and been on water for the last 12 days.And it just continues to keep swelling,Not like any Blueberry strain that I have grown before .

I'm not an expert in the slightest, however I would investigate temperatures a bit more. It looks like the fan leaves towards the top are curled up a bit compared to the bottom, and to me that looks a bit like heat stress. Again, I am no expert, but I believe that heat stress can cause fox-tailing, and more white pistils to form.

This is just a Spare plant I had JohnCee,To be honest it ain't had the best of growing Situations ,Outdoor temps ,effect The indoor room,it was Started in single figures temp wise ,outdoors ,and now where into 25/27 .So I think she's done ok.Its just a Flavor grow ,I did to get a new Flavor in the room .My main plants are doing just fine ,at the Minute I'm more into finding a Old Pheno ,that I lost some time back,But I also have some Blue Lemon Thai,And Pineapple Express that are all looking like there gonna throw me some serious weight,At the later stages in a grow like this ,leaves will start to die off,it's been on just Water for a while ,So I'm hoping it will be done ,in a max of 10/12 days ,I need the space ,the bud is really nice looking ,and very weighty ,at start of 10 th week the fan leaves are my last thing to be worried about,they get ditched any how.If it was around week 6/7 then I would be worried ,but to be honest the fan leaves yellowing don't bother me at this stage.But thanks for your in put bro,the reason it's popping crowns of is the tent is in the same room has the main grow,and the temps are hotter during lights off ,then lights on.Why I will only be using this to veg during summer winter was fine ,with it been cold .The LED does not throw any heat out at all,the Hottest room is the T5 room,funny enough ,I need to sort the inlet out ,it's still pulling air from outdoors ,summer I swop that over to a void in loft space,that area is nice and cool.its where I'm pulling air for my HPS lights .

Thank dude ,Looked a lot better Last week .But now that green is been pulled out of the leaves by the Mineral water I'm flushing with.I thought putting it on water at 8 week would finish her up ,that bit faster.But Nope she just continues swelling .Talked to a few guys that have Run this a lot,and they all say it's doing everything there's did ,but there's finished at 9 week.But I'm happy with it ,it is proof that a cheap led can produce ok weights .I was thinking about sticking the Mars Hydro 300 in with this led.But then it would not be a true test of the light .Great light for Vegging too ,same with the Mars 300,But for my main meds I stick with HPS for a while .But I do want to try 6 of these in place of the two 600's .

Interesting that you flush with mineral water? Do you find it has any benefit over conventional tap water? My ladies get nothing but hard-arsed tap water and nutrients with that until the flush period, at which point it is (obviously) just tap water.
I'd be interested to know the rationale behind mineral water and what your experiences are with it?

No dude,The only reason I'm using Mineral water is I use the 5ltr bottles the water comes in a lot uk water is pretty good ,first time I have used mineral water .But thinking about it ,now you have said that .I wonder if that might be a reason ,its taking longer to finish ,its using the trace Elements from the water .Ya got me thinking now bro

Interesting - I didn't think there would be any benefit, but I hadn't anticipated that your mains water might not be up to the task!

My tap water is great ,Good quality water.The only reason I would go with this kind of water is if I lived some where, with real bad water.im not one of those growers that uses RO water.i might look into that if my water was un drinkable.I don't fuss about stuff anymore ,and grows go far more smooth ,less things go wrong .The last time ,I used my ph pen was about 2 year ago ,and my nutes was at 5.8,checked yesterday for the first time and it was 5.6 .The plants look happy ,I use the bluelab truncheon a lot though every day,I used to use a 100 ltr tank ,has the main tank ,but I have ditched that ,it's in the garden ,and now I use two dwc buckets has my tanks ,one per plants ,So nutes get made up every 3 days ,there drinking 5ltr each a day,in my main room 2 Pineapple Express and 1 Blue Lemon Thai.

I reckon you're onto something with the trace elements though... hmmmm.
Trust your experience and judgement - I know nothing!

We are all still learning new stuff even after years of growing indoors ,I never thought of that till you mentioned it,and to be honest,this plant has done me proud ,spent the first 3 week of its life side lined ,just on water.Looked I'll when it was young soon has I shown her some love ,she rewarded me with one big ass ,that main cola is the size of one you would be proud of getting from a HPS grow .Hope all goes well with your grows dude ,good luck .Im hoping I will be using this room in a couple of week with vegging Amnesia Haze ,Lemon Amber Kush,Exodus Cheese.But all I can think about at the Minute is Pheno Hunting ,with the Skunk # 1.A lot of us think we know more than we do ,But indoor growing is all about Learning.I started with Good Bean I'm yet to find a bad strain from G13 seeds.
