that is going to be some kill BB! I like the donkey dick style I grew my last one right on the base of the screen last grow I feel if I had allowed them to grow vertical a little at each site I would have increased yield. Do you purposely let them grow like that?

Dapio: Thanks, it def looks and smell like some kill. Yes I purposely try to grow them like that. I try to get as many tops as possible during veg by tucking and pulling daily. I tuck and train them thru veg and into flower until the stretch ends at which point I like them to be about 3-5 inches above the screen after the stretch ends. From there they will start stacking and packing on size. I like the base of my bud to start just below the screen and bud up from there and ending up with 10-12 inch budz. (strain dependant of course)

Mufastaa: Most of the haters of AN that I see just don't wanna pay the prices but to me they are not that expensive as long as they produce great results in which I am very pleased with the results I have gotten with them. I added some Overdrive to the Extrema today so hopefully she will pack on size over the next couple weeks cuz I plan to chop her in about 3 weeks and the El Monstre in about 7 weeks.

Are you growing from seed? If so then maybe the one growing faster is a male. That's usually how I tell a male from a young age cuz they will grow more vigorous but if it's a clone or fem seed then disregard that.

I am growing from seed. I was a bit leery at first as well about the bigger one possibly being a male as well! The other day though, upon close inspection of the plants, I saw several pistols on both plants! I am not sure what the deal is with these blueberry seeds, as it almost seems like they are trying to auto-flower? I have them on an 18/6 schedule, but both have pistols on them!? I am guessing they are just mature enough to show their sex. Oh well, I am not going to over think it and am just going to ride the wave! I can't wait to try this strain, as I stated the G13xHaze I got from BCSeedKing as well was some killer genetics!

The 3rd pic is of that Bubba's Kush that almost croaked on me. She is coming back slowly.... but I won't have much issue filling the screen with the other 2!

And here is one of the lovely G13xHaze runs:

Maybe this will explain better how the G13xHaze was:100_3083.jpg100_3078.jpg100_3084.jpg100_3087.jpg100_3095.jpg The 1st 4 are from 1 plant. Last one from the other. Two different pheno's. My plants don't exceed much if any taller than 3'. :bigjoint: For my 1st online seed purchase ever being from BCSeedKing and their very reasonable prices, I think I got what I paid for already just with the G13xHaze strain, and these blueberries are looking pretty crazy! My screen hole size atm is 2x3, but I think I will be putting it to 2x2 after this round. And yes... braided nylon fiber. Works great and is very resistant to the conditions we are using it in, so should last quite a long time! It is fairly soft and can manipulate it around pretty easy as well.;-)


edit: wanted to add.... look at the ashes in the tray top left pic 2....:fire:

These bloody blueberry plants are growing like mad! The inter-nodal spacing is ridiculous! I think I am going to have to cut out a bunch so that the canopy isn't overcrowded! I really can't wait to see what these things are going to produce! I have stepped up my game as well this round besides trying the scrog. I added a 2nd 400HPS to my bud area! For all future grows, I will have 1 plant under each HPS! :weed:

The whole scrog thing was the answer to my issue I was toying with in my head of how to get better light penetration to the lower parts of my plants to reduce the popcorn buds. I was already trimming the bottom foot or so of growth in the bud cycle, but with the size of nugs I was getting, they were still obstructing a lot of light to the lower area. I was contemplating going to a bigger light(1000w HPS) for the better penetration, but now using the screen, I can control the height and spread the canopy out evenly! Just thinking of what the outcome of my 1st attempt at scrog'n is getting me all giddy!:hump:

You will really have a crowded screen if you wait til the screen is mostly full before you flip. 2/3 is ideal. Trim out a bit of the fan leaves and open up the lower buds to more light penetration and you won't have as many golfballs. IMO

I am going to flip this Sunday regardless. The Bubba's Kush finally has enough growth on it that it should fill out the screen a fair bit during stretch now. I was just waiting for it to grow enough new growth before I flipped. These blueberries will fill out 1/2 to 2/3's no problem I am thinking the way they are looking. That stupid BK plant set me back a good week. My 1st and last purchase of a GHS product! I hadn't done enough research at the time I bought those stupid GHS feminized seeds. I got some other killer strains just waiting to get going and try. If this BK shows any signs of herming on me, it is out and will be a lesson learned.

Sunday can't come soon enough for this one:

I am thinking about topping 1 or 2 ends in the bottom right corner due to running out of space. Figure if I do it tonight or tomorrow, it should be fully recovered by Sunday for the flip. Did I mention these things are bushes? bongsmilie

Golfballs? By the way these blueberries are looking, they will be one long assed cola on every branch! Wonder how big these ones will get!!? The G13xHaze one pheno produced colas larger than 40oz booze bottles! The other one produced ones not as thick and round, but some were 18+" long! All on plants less than 3' tall!

I figure by running the screen now, and having a 400w HPS for each plant after this round, I will have some insane success! I am going to shoot for the lb per plant mark!!!:clap:
