First Grow Journal -- Blueberry

Allright this is my first grow journal. Today will be 1 week and 2 days since my seeds have germinated. What I have done is bought my seeds from a reputalbe local head shop. I have decided this time that I am going to buy some blueberry seeds. When I went to purchase my seeds I had asked the guy about the flowering length and about what others have said about it. Apparently these seeds are the hottest thing going on around here. Everybody who has purchased and gron these seeds have always putchased more. He was so sure of it that he gave me an extra 2 seeds and 10$ off. Long story short I ended up loosing 1 seed and 1 die because of somethig I did to it. So right now as it stands I have 10 germinated seeds. I Transplanted my seedlings into soil about 2 days after the seeds were germinated. I am using a 400w HPS for my veg and have an addition 400w HPS that I will bring in about 3 weeks from now. I purchased some PRO MIX and mixed in some bat guano (10-3-1) then transplanted them into my larger flower pots that you see in my pictures. I am feeding them some SUPER THRIVE for each feedings and also I give them a light mist with natural spring Carbonated water (Perrier) and a bit of Super thrive. I am trying to keel my Humidity aprox 40-55% and a fan blowing a light breeze on the closet that I have them starting in. Also as you can see I will be using some Optimum Hydroponix Part A and B (Part A 5-0-2 and Part B 1-5-8 )

A couple of more pictures a few more days later. Yesturday I decided that when it comes time to flowering I will try 50/50 with and without molasses. Here is a few more pictures on christmas morning. The last watering I gave them was just water with no nutrients or supliments. I do notice thought the third set of leafs starting to grow in. I am hoping that within 1 month I will be able to start flowering my babies.

Allright well 3 days have gone by. Yesturday, I had $50 to spend on the room. so this is what I bought.

10 -- plastic flower pot holders. (got rid of the tin pie sheets that I was using)
14' -- Chain
2 -- plant hanging hooks
5 -- 'S' hooks
1 -- Homemade 'S' hook
1 -- PH tester
1 -- 3% Peroxide

What I did is move my grow room around. I moved my plants from the closet to a section of a room. Took me about 2 hrs to get everything set up again. I took some pictures this morning. The plants seem to be doing fairly well. Take a look at the pictures I took.

Thanks natmoon much appreciate the heads up, I will definitely keep an eye on them. These are picture of my BB approx 2.5 - 3 weeks old from seed planted into soil. I do notice today that I am starting to see some side growth. I am hoping by see this that I will be able to sex my plants within the next week or two. I am hoping that more people would provide me with some more feed back.. :joint:

Alright, here is another update. Today I am starting to think that I'm going to switch to flowering 12/12 within the next week. Still I cannot see any preflowers. I wanted to top my plants also. Not sure if it's too soon to be flowering or not. Here are some new pics tell me what you think...

They all look great to me.
If you want to top or fimm them i would do it now and wait about 2 more weeks before you put them into 12/12.
Lovely and healthy:blsmoke:

Yep I' definately top at least once and give them at least another week or until you see alternating nodes, but if you really want to you can start flowering now, but I'd wait.

Alright, I topped them up now.. :) I figure why rush it as another 2 weeks is not going to kill me and figure it's probably well worth it in the long run.

Here's an updated pictures of the topped babies..

They all looking healthy.
How far away is the hps lamp as it look like they are slightly stretching.
If you position your fan to blow across the top of your plants in between the space between your plants tops and the lamp you should be able to get it about 12" away from the tops:blsmoke:
