Hello and welcome everybody to my 2nd grow log of some blueberry I just received yesterday on 4/20 (<~~~it was meant to be) I only germinated 2 to start out with considering that these are supposed to be fert. sensitive and also I only had 2 peat pods left So it will suffice for now!! But I placed the seeds in the pods yesterday around 3pm and the following day they had already sprung a tap root (I sneaked a peek ) and I'm assuming they will be up out of the dirt by tomorrow or the following day.

For this grow, I will be using some garden soil I purchased at Lowe's. I choose this because I can't find the good s*** (fox farm) where I live so I just got what I thought would be best, plus it doesn't have the time release fertilizer like all the rest had (MG soils).

The lighting I will be using for now will be 6 daylight CFL's (26W) in a rubber made container that I used in my last grow to start my plants. Also I will be running a mini oscillating fan (really powerful to be so small) for circulation.

For this grow I will LST both these plants and then take a clone from each plant when it gets around 2 months of veg to determine sex. I will also be using MG fertilizer again, but I will be using it VERY SPARINGLY(i know nobody recommends it, but that's all I can afford right now)! I will have to take a page out of headshakes "ghetto grow" and work with what I got! Also I will be using molasses the whole grow this time along with superthrive to go along with when I fert.

Everyone stay tuned to this log as when it's all said and done I will have some blueberry goodness and some bud porn for everybody to drool over LoL and just for the record for those who may think that statement was cocky, all I have to say is I'm confident in everything I do and believe in my skills So put on your seatbelt, sit tight, if your a female hold on to your TaTas and enjoy the 4 month ride!

~Peace~Love~Happiness~

I'm ready! light er up!

I can't wait! your last grow was awesome. I will be tuned in as well.

checkin it out...

Alright a little update. Out of the 2 original blueberry I had started only one grew out of the dirt. The other one sprung a tap root but never did anything more than that! So with that being said I germinated another one and it's popped and starting it's first set of leaves. As for the other original one it's starting it's second set of leaves.
I've been having a bit of a problem with heat going up to and excess of 90 degrees some parts of the day. It has been making me want to go get a portable ac for the closet. Does anybody have any idea what level of BTU I may need and how much one may run?

__________________

I wouldn't think that you'd need anything very powerful @ all (I'm trying to recall your dimensions). the one thing I would look for is something with a really good thermostat. my other concern would be humidity, since ac units remove water from the air. but from the info. I got here, low humidity is better than excess. I was thinking about the same thing the other day, it was hot as hell and my temp hit 93. I was freaking out!

Congrats on the newborn! looking forward to they're future! I need a small ac unit as well... not for the heat, the high output canfan takes care of that but I have a humidity problem It's too high! The gauge i have says it's at 64%..goes higher when it rains obviously. Dehumidifier works great on humidity but like everyone knows.. the heat goes WAY up. Have to work this out soon.

My closet is about 4ft X 2ft.....I'm not really worried too much about humidity as I can raise that just by putting a bucket of water in the grow room. I'm just more concerned about controlling temps when I get to the flowering phase...The veg stage can take a little more heat, but the flowering phase is going to be hell because I'm not trying to have airy buds. Like everyone else, I want huge dense buds! Well I'll take dense buds at least

Thank you my friend...I'm sorry I haven't been able to get any pics up yet as my camera is out of commission right now, so I will be getting a new one in the following week to come! I will def. be keeping people updated though with any situation I may come across until the camera's here. So everybody bare with me please!

Alright everyone well I just wanted to update a little bit on the status of the BB. As I was looking at them today, I was inspecting to make sure no bugs were around or on them. So, as I was getting ready to look at the under side of the leaves I thought there was something wrong. I picked up one of them and looked at it close and just realized that the complete underside of all the leaves are a deep purple as the topsides are green. At first seeing it I wasn't sure what to think, but as I got to really see the color I just smiled from ear to ear realizing that I may have a purple plant in the near future. I was always itching to get on some type of purple pheno plant and my dreams may have come true (Knock on wood).

Also I went ahead and started 2 more seedling about 2 days ago and one so far is about to break through so it will probably be ready to go in soil in about 3 to 4 days.

I'm still having a bit of heat problems as the temps fluctuate between 78-85. So I just got a fan blowing directly on them until I can control these temps! Luckily it has been really hot where I reside and I've been running the AC a lot so it's been helping. Even with the temps being that high at some times they don't look like they are really having problems as of yet so I'm thankful to that!

Otherwise, everything is OK as of now and I WILL be getting a camera SOON! Sorry, money just hasn't been right yet!

__________________

The plants turn purple on the bottom because of cold nights, or so i have read. i have purple on mine near the undersides of the stems, nothing really to worry about.

As for those temps they sound fine to me. I think as long as your not going above 90 you will be fine. Mine are in that general range and seem to enjoy it quite a bit.

Cant wait for some pics. Perhaps a camera phone shot to tide us over.

i concur with alby. photosynthesis doesn't cut off 'til around 90 degrees. when i start off seeds in soil, after germ, they go in a box without any fans or anything. the temp gets up to 85-86 and they seem to enjoy it. remember, some of the best strains come from hot places!

i have read that blueberry plants will show red, purple and blue hues and will cure up to a lavender blue color.

you might want to stay away from the superthrive in flower. i hear you are not supposed to use it and it could have been the cause of my problems with the plants leaves in the first two grows.

get the camera fixed already! we demand pics!

Nah they are definitely COMPLETELY purple underneath. Like I'm not exaggerating when I say COMPLETELY. If I were to turn them upside down you would see no green on the stems nor the leaves! Also, the tops are starting to get a purple tint. I think it's the strain is why I'm getting these phenos. I definitely know it isn't cold nights as my temps never get lower than 75 at night. My last grow did that, definitely because of the cold nights as I did the grow in the winter time so I never ran the heat as the lights did all the warming up for me

I have been using superthrive with all my waters so far with no problems at all. 1 or 2 drops per gallon and alls well.

thought i would chime in on that.

Yes, I used ST for my last grow as well and didn't see any problems from it, but then again I wasn't expecting what I got off them so it was all smiles my way!

Also...I haven't used anything but plain water so I know it has nothing to do with any chemicals.

Time for pics man!!!!
Sounds like all is going well. Weird on the all purple.. mine didnt do that
My blueberry are growing faaast. The ones I topped and or fim'd now have multiple mains growing.. I think..heh. pics on my log that is in the wrong thread..........my bad.

Can't wait to see how they do with the LST.

Italian715, it's good to see you, my friend - even at the other place was a pleasant surprise seeing a familiar face. It sounds like you have some real beauties forming - the purple sounds intriguing, and I am, like all others, looking forward to some pictures; I know you must be anxious to share them.

I wish you much luck with your grow, and I look forward to the ride.

LoL...I'm sorry it's taking soo long, I have a buddy on the way over here with his camera as we speak, so I should have some pics up for everyone today of my little babies!

Why hello jakezking....Good to see your still here as well as over there! Everything moves SOOO fast over at IC it's ridiculous. Yes, I've been itching to get some pictures in and it's driving me nuts not being able to, but I will have a few soon enough!!

Also, I would like to thank everyone that is keeping up with my log, I really appreciate all the encouragement and opinions!

Alright everyone, just a question here.....

Jungle Growth Professional mix....Anyone heard of it or used it?!

I purchased a bag from Lowes considering everything else was MG and was trying to stay away from it. The soil itself looks good, not sure on how my babies will respond to them though.
Any feedback would be great!

This may help you a lil... i have a friend that grows and has been growing for as long as i could remember (infact when i was younger my father found our plants in the backyard anyways he uses that soil and loves it! after i finish with the sets that i have i am gonna use that soil becuase i am tired of having to order my shit and get it a week later when i need it now lol. I hope this helps
ps he grows some BOMB weeed and only uses some random ass plant food like 10-15-10... think its schultz or something... not sure but its really nice and healthy buds come harvest time

I appreciate the feedback. Started to figure no one has heard of it, even though many go to Lowes. I hope it does treat me well, I bought some more perlite just in case it's not draining like I'd like on these pots they are in now. So far they seem to love it. They are starting to be bushy little F'ers. Also, I have started to LST one of them and will probably start another here in about a week when it gets a bit more growth. Other than that, they are starting to look good, except for the youngest one, which I accidentally watered with tap water (not from the ph corrected water) and the leaves curled (canoed) a bit, but I will correct that and get that sucker back on the road to goodness!

__________________

Alright here are some long awaited pictures, but the only problem is it's from a camera phone, so the pictures don't really do any justice to the plants themselves. I have three of them that are started and each of them are all about a week behind each other....Also, I have gave a couple them a 1/4 strength feeding about three days ago and they have been responding well too them so far.

Hey hey!

Some pictures! lookin' good. I can kinda see a little purple hue in the first plant. Is it clearing up or still showing heavily on the underside?

begood, beFree

__________________

Yes, the undersides are still purple, but more so deeper purple towards the bottom. As it goes it gets lighter, but as they have been maturing the older foliage below started getting the deep purple undersides. It's like it comes in a light greenish purple and then as the foliage get "older" it starts to get the deep purple.

I also ran out of PH testing solution and watered without it one watering and gave my plants a ph f*** up on the backside of the biggest one When I went and got some more solution I tested the water and it was 7.2 So I corrected it. It's ok though cause as it's getting bigger I'm pruning off the small foilage at the bottom and will start to really LST them in about a week. I had started one, but then decided to not do it and just wait till it gets a bit bigger. I've only got 5 lights on them for now and will be upgrading to about 10-15 in about a week. Definitely will be blasting the AC to keep the temps down!
