Some are 9 some are 7, some less, don't know if there is a reason, seems like GK mentioned something about it once. I think the HempWarp look just about perfect, and they are just one week into flowering, they have always had that profile, like the texada time warp does. The one with the problem is a BlueBerry Plant that is in the third week of flowering and is about the same height as the HempWarp. The BlueBerry I didn't fu is a little over 30". VV

hmm ok ill check GK things. iv heard that Blueberry is a very short plant but wow did not know they were that much; i would love to breed like a super blueberry plant, mix like a blueberry male with a high yielding female like big bud, or even medi bud see what one would come up with.

HMMM sounds like a future project

vv the shunkberry only gets a little over 2ft and then stops yes they are a short plant!!
Northernberry (indoor/outdoor)

F1 hybrid. Northern Lights #5 (BCSC) Female pollinated with a Blueberry(SAG) male. Potent, sticky and productive. Very popular. 60/40* indica/sativa. Eight-nine weeks flowering indoors. Medium-med/tall height.


Skunkberry (indoor/outdoor)

F1 hybrid. Skunk (Peak) female pollinated with Blueberry (SAG) male. I’m tempted to say this is our best strain. Large juicy tops with that fantastic high most crave. Easy to grow, fert tolerant, commercial strain. 60/40* indica/sativa. Eight-nine weeks flowering indoors. Med/tall-tall height​

This is the information from Peak Seeds. They say the NorthernBerry's are not as tall as the SkunkBerry. Well, the lights just came on, have to go do some work. VV:blsmoke:

So you get your seeds from Peak Seeds? I'm guessing they have been real reliable eh?

I'm looking for a place that has a quick turn around or is very reliable, for my next grow.

Yes I did get these from Peak Seeds, I have only ordered seeds twice, different companies, different strains. Yea I see that one is giving a 404 error. Nothing I can do about that, and it is about dead, all of the plants from that grow are hanging or in jars curing now. VV:blsmoke:

Hello V!
I have some questions I hope you can answer. Why do you have so many nutrients? I have only Ionic Bloom and Ionic grow, is it to little? What do you think I should get additionally? I am growing for the first time and don't know much.
My seedling are now three weeks old and sitting in rockwool in canna coco. I have a 400 MH lamp 2 feet above and use 1/4 Ionic growth which I have been using since start. They are doing good, so I don't know if I should lower the lamp or give them more nutes or just do nothing. I give them 100 ml water every day with nutes. Is it to much nutes? Any help would be appreciated. :joint:
How are your plants by the way?

Hello V!

Well, I hope so too, otherwise this would be a waste of space.

Why do you have so many nutrients? I have only Ionic Bloom and Ionic grow, is it to little? What do you think I should get additionally? I am growing for the first time and don't know much.
I am using the same nutrients you are. And that is what I used when I started. All of the rest of the regiment are additives recommended By the manufacturer. My Hydro Shop has some production of the nutes and I have just about enough experience with growing that I think I can make use of them for increased production. In addition, I recommend the Dark Energy and the Super Thrive. A little goes a long way and the humic acids are good for protecting your roots, long story. FOr not knowing much it seems like your doing pretty good.

My seedling are now three weeks old and sitting in rockwool in canna coco.
When you put this in your journal, explain how you got to this point, ie I started with rockwool and........


I have a 400 MH lamp 2 feet above
You need to start closing this distance for 3 week old seedlings. Unless you have serious heat issues, you need to get that distance to about 1' by week 4. MOve it down 3" today, no adverse effect, move it down another 3" the next day etc. If its air cooled you should be able to get it within 8" of the top of the plants, then move it up as the plants grow up.

+
and use 1/4 Ionic growth which I have been using since start.
Did you cheat and do some reading first? Good for you. I usually start with quarter strength at about the beginning of week 3 and have it at full strength by the end week four for seeds. Again step it up 1/4 for your next watering, no adverse effects, step it up again three days later until you are at full strength, I run 1300-1400ppm with the Ionic for Soil and Coco and I get the one with the humic acids. I find no corelation (sp) between the recommended dose and what you need to use. All of this is of course dependant on your water, it needs to be ph adjusted for coco, I run mine at <5.8. Add your nutes to the proper ppm and then ph the water, You didn't mention a system, You are handwatering?

They are doing good, so I don't know if I should lower the lamp or give them more nutes or just do nothing. I give them 100 ml water every day with nutes. Is it to much nutes? Any help would be appreciated. :joint:
How are your plants by the way?
Azadeh
Ok, yes I see your are hand watering. Are you getting any runoff with that amount of water? Try something a little different for a day or two. Give them one good dose of water, make sure you get some runoff, 10% is a good amount. Then don't water until the need it. How will you know? Pick up the pot, after it has drained the day you water it good and get a feel for your plant, feel the 'weight'. When that pot 'feels light, and the plant is just starting to droop a little, its time to water again, and know we know exactly how much water we need to fill the pot. 10 % less than the last time or that same amount to get that same 10% runoff.
You have probably not been overwatering with the amount your are giving them, but the method your using retards early root development, your roots don't have to grow looking for water the want to stay close to the source of the water, the top of your pot. Not good, not bad, just room for improvment. Its also a good idea to give them 1/2 the amount of water and then wait for about 1/2 hour before giving the rest.

You have a fine start or your plants wouldn't look good. Now, you need to start a journal of your own and repeat all of the pertinent information, YOu will want to include pictures of course, its almost required. We have a sort of Grow Journal Competition going on right now, Garden Knowm is heading that one up you will want to check that out, Newbie's are encouraged to participate. The idea is to create a journal anyone could follow, one some one else could replicate. I must not be doing to well with that, I tried to explain all of this while I was doing it. Guess I'll have to start a new journal for the contest. VV:blsmoke:

Define 'good light penetration'. 1 zip/plant 20 plants, 1 1/2 zip/plant 12 plants, same size table, t-5's all the way thru flowering, he is full of sh**, but I mean that in a nice way. VV:blsmoke:

Yes...listen to him with this watering thing. I thought I was doing good by watering every 5-7 days. Yes this schedule was fine, but I wasn't giving them enough. Drenched those babies...don't be scared.

What's going on VV?

well. yesterday I replanted a couple of cuttings. Have 159 that I haven't killed yet so it took a little while to do. Now I need to get the flood tables fixed for top watering for a few days, make those roots grow, and start nutes . I bought some different pots, been thinking about that for a long time now and finally decided I could use the ones that are for Emily's Garden, 6" sq, which is a nice size, uses less medium than my 8" round ones. Problem is they are a type of net pot that normally has a cover so it doesn't matter if the roots grow out the sides of the pots. I think I have a way figured to make them work though. 35 of them will fit my tables, at least in vegging they will. AND if I keep concentrating on creating that 'sea of green' by trimming off the bottoms, maybe.....
I will try and get some of that posted later. VV

cut pieces of panda plastic to size and rap around sides, leaving bottom holes open for flooding...

a couple decent sized rubberbands or maybe zipties wrapped around the panda plastic would keep it held on to the pots...


i dunno... just an idea =]

All I did was leave the plastic bags that came with each pot. I pulled them up and cut the bottom off the bag, threw the coco in, when I put a cutting in I would just pull the bag up until I knew the bottom was open. They only have a couple of holes in the corners on the side. They call them net pots, they aren't really. The way I figure it, if I ever wanted to transport one of these cutting, I could hold the bag around the top, loosen and turn it over like you were going to transplant it, tie the bottom of the bag shut, bingo, clones to go. Like a big mac with that?
well, I have a few extra's right now. Ya gotta luv old people. VV:roll:

Well, I suppose. If you look at Emilys Garden it makes sense. They call these net pots, the only place there is a problem in these holes on the side. So, each one had a plastic bag in it seperating it from the next one. I cut the bottom out of the plastic bag, and pushed it back down to the bottom of the pot, left the top of the bag over the outside edge of the pot, filled them like half way with coco and when I transplanted, I simple pulled the bag down to the outside of the pot which pulled the bag up from the bottom allowing it to drain. The plastic should stop roots from going thru those holes. VV:blsmoke:
