Do you not have room for them all? If I were you I would grow as many as I could to ensure that you at least come out with one female.

Just give that other one some time, it should get better.

Honestly, I'm not sure it will get that bad. I've read that hydro grows are what really smells, soil not so much.

Mines nearly 3 weeks into flower and I still haven't smelled one thing. So lets say you grow 5 plants, probably 2-3 might be female. Smell shouldn't be to big of an issue on a small grow, but this is based off my readings. I'll let you know in a couple weeks how it is.

I wouldn't have put them all in the same potting spot. Is that just until they get big enough to be moved? If so, you might have a harder time transplanting because the roots could get tangled up. Not to mention it will be harder because you have to dig them up opposed to turning a pot over and letting them slide out. Do you have any small dixie cups or coke bottles?

Do you have some holes for drainage in that?

Are they in a tool box? Is there drainage? I'm not a soil grower but you'll need some drain holes i think otherwise you chance root rot. What GrnMan said - you should separate them so you can move them individually. Your blueberry is going to grow at a different rate than the big bud - big bud shoots up fast and finishes faster. It is also less nute-sensitive than the blueberry so you'll see nute burn on your blue much quicker than on the big bud.

Do you have a plan for when the odor gets strong? I've noticed that about the 3rd or 4th week of vegging (in hydro) the plants start stinking and then the smell goes away for a few weeks and then wham! big time stink!

yeah, thier is drain holes in the bottom and this is all i can do if i grow all 4 of them, i guess what i can to is put the blueberry in a pot by its self and spred the Big Bud out more to give it more room..

Really man, if you can't pick up any pots, do you have some 2 liter coke bottles sitting around? Paint those black or white and cut some holes in them for the water to drain.

Probably not. Half of it would be 1 quart. There's 4 quarts in a gallon. You want at least 2.5-3.5 gallon pots.

Maybe you might think about flowering early, even then it still may be to small. There's no way you can buy any pots?

oh yeah i can buy pots, thats no big deal. I have a 3 Gallon pot i will prolly put my blueBerry in when it gets a lil bigger, but right now i'v trans plants all my plants over 4 times. so i dont wanna stress my babies to much in such a short amount of time, so i will prolly waite a nother week then i will put it in a pot by its self....

well i just picked up some nuits for my babies....lil to finde out if this is good nuits or not here are the analysis:

Schultz 10-15-10 Plant food Plus

Total Nitrogen (N).........................10%
1.6% Ammoniacal Nitrogen
.2% Nitrate Nitrogen
8.2% Urea Nitrogen
Available Phosphate.......................15%
Soluble Postash.............................10%
Iron......................................... .10%
.10% Chelated Iron
Manganese.............................. .05%
.05% Chelated Manganese
Zinc......................................... .05%
.05%Chelated Zinc


not really a big deal if this ends up being bad for my plants...it was only like $2....

Can't tell you if it's any good or not, but looks like an all around plant food. You can probably get away with using just that during both cycles of growth because you are in soil.

Lots of N during veg and lots of P/K for flower - more so the P though. That's what helps promote the bud sites.

Yea those are good nutes. Don't use those until they are old enough for them. At least 3 weeks or more, or until they look like they can handle a small amount. Also, you might want to get some Tiger Bloom as well. That Big Bloom is more of a supplement to use during the flowering stage - along side the Tiger Bloom.

Look at the small amount of NPK in that bloom fertilizer. You want higher levels of PK - mostly P.
