this is my 3rd grow 2nd with this strain and 1st with this rubbermaid DWC. This a bluberry hybrid and thats all I know it turns purple at the end and smells and tastes fruity. These are taken at week 6. I use a scope to determine when to harvest b/c I don't know exact harvest time. I can fit four in the container but I had to get clones from this one first. Just wanted some feedback and if anybody see's anything wrong

Looks Delicious :) I'm jealous since all my last grow turned out to be males, now I have new seeds growing. Nice setup though. Ever thought about waterfarms? I love them. Get some nice grow out of them. :thumbsup:

I don't know what waterfarms are but the rubbermaid holds alot of water and is very light proof only have to change water every two weeks alot of air in there so no light+alot of oxygen=no alge,good roots

I just looked up the waterfarm buckets I used to use seperate 5 gallon bubblers but the rubbermaid fits better and only one container to change instead of 4

Beautiful! I suggest another week or two in flowering to get the full harvest. She doesn't even look like you flushed either! I understand but being patient will be worth it. More weight, buds, fragrance, taste, feel, love, and color! :thumbsup:

You are correct that it is from the fan, but it's actually related to the fact that leaves in that area are losing moisture to the increased air flow. No biggie; just point the fan away from the plants, or move it further from them.

They look really good. Remember to check your trichomes before you chop; they should be at least all cloudy, with anywhere from 10-40% amber depending on how much you like your ass glued to the sofa lol! I suggest 15% so you can still walk after smoking it! :jointsmile:

I don't have alot of room to be able to move the fan away, but I can try. No I hadn't started flushing til a few days after these pics were taken at least 2 weeks flushing before I do anything to her. I flush with plain water and a little phosphoload by dutch master thanks everybody for the input

I noticed that you didn't have very many leaves on your plant. Is that a trick or something to get more light energy to the buds? I read in a weed world magazine that it is okay to trim the leaves off a good bit that way the buds use up the light energy more. Let me know if that is the case because I'm really interested in knowing this. The more yield... the better!!!!

I do a really good trim of all the older fan leaves and the lower ones a week before flowering about 50% to really open up the lights ability to penetrate. Also the same week I start to flush I do the same thing to help flush quicker, less leaves to pull nitrogen out of. Never do I take any of the leaves attached to buds they are the sugar producers

All the leaves on the plant are the sugar producers. To open up the plant, spread the canopy open or remove entire branches that are crowding the center, but never leaves.

Lol... I have never tried it but I would like to get more yield. I know that more light energy equals more yield. So basically just trim all the branches that don't have buds on them more towards the end or what? Not at the beginning of the bloom stage? Thanks!
