One Lonely Blueberry

Well that 8.5 one was a lot bigger but I see what you mean about the density.....I just figured that out in a moment of stoned brilliance while staring open-mouthed at it yesterday. The blueberry nugs seem more "solid" than the crystal ones which were more light and fluffy. These feel hard already and there is still a couple weeks to go. ;)

I'm afraid to say a number....I'm just not used to the shortness of the very indica influence of this plant. I'm going to make a guess of four or five but give me till the next grow to start estimating because there are several things here that are new to me.....the plant being by itself (for the most part) how dense it is, and the cool tube which I really feel has made a large difference here, especially to the lower and inner part of the plant. :thumbsup:

My yields are definitely getting better and I really feel I owe most of that to X-Crispi and his many hints, tips and help, supplies etc.....if he did any more of the work for me he'd have to live here. :)

No way Sis.
Thats what friends are for . :thumbsup: When we did 3 blueberry n 1 cottoncandy we sat -n- guessed at yields while manicuring . I was kinda disheartened w/ no forearm sized nugs / colas but the BB has got to be the densest plant I've ever grown . We guessed 5-6 oz. each and they were 10 - 10 - 11 oz each . Your gonna be suprised ;)
Crispi :jointsmile:

You aren't joking and now I see what ASD meant about "little clubs" :eek: They are solid as little rocks already. The two new ones are doing well but you can really see the difference between them....short stout BB and the cotton candy is doing the stretchy thing and bushing up. Because of the cool tube it's no problem to adjust everyone around the light accordingly despite the difference in sizes and they all receive max lighting right from the start of flower. :thumbsup:

I tried topping them my old way this time and have come to the conculsion that with something short and dense like the BB it was easier to start working with when topped early. We'll see if it makes a difference later on or not. I didnt really find any other improvement over X-C's way however so will probably top my rhinos the way he does. ;)

The first photo is the blueberry.....she's lost a fair amount of her older leaves to the ph issues I was having in veg (which seem to be flat out gone in bloom....and I'm using my soda, lol :cool:)...they are right about BB being sensitive when young. The cotton candy got through childhood better (2nd photo) but they both came back well in bloom. :)

I COMPLETELY missed ASD's statement about his expirement....is that age or weed......or both?

ASD....yes...please PLEASE let us know how long the soaking takes and I'll do the same on my next grow. I really do like my hydroton and don't want to lose it.

I was thinking of doing something along that line with it next grow....like soak for several days but your idea is better. :thumbsup:

hey WH. that BB plant. OMFG OMFG OMFG. that is huge like a mofo.

great job. and great job on the rest of em also.

Talk about coming a long way WH...I just saw the new pic of the bb and it's really swelling up...how many times did you top to get that many shoots so close together it's crazy :jointsmile: even with topping I've never had that kinda success

How's the root situation doin with all that available light? hope they aren't fillin the farms too quick

I'm slowly making progress on the setup, the biggest success so far is the wiring...with all the horror stories I was starting to get nervous while reading up but it was rather straight forward...made sure the power was off and just followed the diagrams haha *knocks on wood* so far everything is goin fine

Beautiful work as usual WH I'm still excited to see the CC come along never tried that one

One of the pics shows them all starting to thicken up and seperate as all their own little nuggets as opposed to one big cola. That's what I finally figured out would happen but now I have the feeling they'll get even bigger than I am guessing. :eek:

The other plants are all doing well....the cotton candy has really gone nuts and the white rhinos did great while I was gone.....hmmmm.....BUT I'll say I did dump a bunch of supplements onto the rhinos just to try to raise the ppms and keep the ph stable while I was gone.....which seemed to have worked and they snarfed up all the supplements as well. :)

ASD, I only topped that plant once; at about 10 inches or something; waitied a week and then turned it. The rest of it Crispina did all by herself. :thumbsup:

wow hound, those plants look SUPER!!!:thumbsup:

IRL these buds look more orange than purplish....I wonder if the camera has captured the truer color (taken with HPS off) but small light is so crappy I can't tell the real color of the buds so I'll leave it up to the viewer to decide which is real and which is Memorex. :eek:

A quick note.....changed my seedlings yesterday and the ppms are up to 700. The ph seems to have stabilized FINALLY! :yippee::woohoo:
