Blue Apollo DWC - 8 weeks veg

[gainesvillegreen]

Just a couple pics of the Blue Apollo mother plant at my friend's place. It's 8 weeks old and doin' swell. In the second picture, the plant spans about 4'6" from left to right, 3' from front to back, and is only about 3' tall excluding the DWC bucket.

As mentioned, this is the mother that he pulls his clones from; however, if he did flower it, I feel confident that it would pull a full pound to a pound and a half with his current flowering setup.

So whatdya think guys?

There is also a pic of some fan leaves that were on part of the plant that was removed for height-control. The strip of rockwool is 4.5" long for reference, making the leaves about 8" wide and about 10-12" long including the petiole.

Blue Apollo

Indoor
This is a cross between my favorite blueberry and Apollo 11. The Father is Apollo 11 a high producing super potent strain many of you have heard about or maybe grown yourself. It is low in odor having a faint citrus like smell. The mother is Blueberry I obtained from DJ Short via Dutch Passion. The Blueberry mother is a high yielder with the soaring blueberry high and delicious blueberry smell. It gives large buds that are rock solid. Blueberry has been a favorite of many growers for years now and has won many awards. Your mouth will be watering every time you tend your plants. Try to wait until they finish before you sample some, I know it will be hard to wait. The females have blue/purple stems particularly in the seedlings and the leaves or buds also tend to turn a bluish shade at the finish. Both blueberry and A11 are hardy vigorous plants with very nice buds.

I've just been impressed at how large and fast she's grown. Her seed cracked about the 4th of October, so she's right around 2 months now. As large as it has grown, it's so tempting to throw her into flower, but he runs a rotating, perpetual SOG grow, so...

I have some Dutch Passion Blueberry that I have grown but have not heard of the Apollo 11. The bb was very VERY couchlock with extremely dense buds just as they said. Is the Apollo more of a sativa type? I'd hope so....or sounds like another strain that has you dragging your hanging jaw around on the floor. :cool:

That IS a beautiful plant. If you send her to me I'll do something with her and you guys won't be torn with tempatation any further. It's the least I can do for a fellow stoner......:D :D

That's his mother plant. She'll veg for another 6 months providing clones until he replaces her with another.

Oh I will, promise. Blue Apollo is two weeks into flower right now and I'm hoping AK-99 will start in another 5-6 weeks. When he gets another few weeks in, I'll post some of his pictures in their own thread.

No training at all. She was topped after about the 4th or 5th node and that was it.

Here's a pic of her as of today. I spent the day over at my buddy's house doing various agricultural tasks, and we pulled another 40 cuttings off of her. After those cuttings, we severely trimmed her back up top, and pruned about five feet from her root ball.

Not really a gator fan, though I did graduate from UF.

What do you mean 'what does he get off of a month of veg?". He pulls about 40 clones off of her a month, those are flowered under a 600w digital HPS. He flowers two tubs of 12 each, rotating them for a perpetual harvest (every month).

When I get some more pictures of the flowering, I'm going to start a new grow thread.
