Blueberry x Northern Lights
	
	
		Just wanted show some progress with a couple of pictures.  The girls are between 12" and 15".  
Also, I was curious, how I can make more purple colors show in the end product.  I really enjoy seeing those colors. It has happened in the past...just very little.  I understand it has to do with strand and temperature (very cold during flowering) I have never really thought to similate cold nights because being too cold has never really been an option, however it may be possible this go around.  Just not sure when and for how long etc;
Not sure if this is the place for this question.  Thanks:)

		Those are some Super plants! The T5's are doing an absolutley awesome job!!:thumbsup: I may look into one for vegging. I see alot of layering of leaves. You should pluck the ones that are sandwiched between two others. You'll get alot more light to the side branches giving you more bud in the end. Just a thought.. It was worth mentioning after seeing your pics. I'll be checking to see how your doing. Great Job!:thumbsup::thumbsup:
Happy Growing!
Ga..

		I bought a 1000 phantom dimmable ballast.  It's pretty awesome.  I hooked it up to a 6 in Radiant HydroFarm.  6in ducting and a 6" Vortex.  Temps holding about 83.  Still need to make some tweeks.  Hoping to bring it down a bit.  I can't believe how these hoods are so cool these days.  And the Ballast.  It's cool to the touch!  Im Happy.  Put a 1000 HPS in.  Thanks for the help. I 'll be looking for a Cabon Filter Soon.  Here are some pictures iof the girls now in Flower.:thumbsup:
Im a bit early but they were blowin up!  Flippy came early.:D

		Like how you put the pots on trays to catch the runoff, seems much better then the individual trays I use...does it drain to a bucket below or something? I was thinking of rigging something homemade up...but a big tray seems much easier...just dont want to lose any height.
Plants look great.

		Thanks.   Yeah, its a bucket under the 4x 4 tray close to my stool that i sit at while feeding.  Any excess just drains right into the bucket and I reuse the food.  I could have routed it to a drain or even through the wall, to the exterior but, I liked the idea of total containment.

		So there are 3 of 6 plants so far that are showing a Pistol or two.  I'm still guessing all six will be girls.  I donated a couple of the plants to a local dispensary. So eight has become six :(  A couple folks from the shop seemed pretty happy though.  They gave me some free oil (never had it before).  Pretty nice, I was not expecting anything.  Kinda trips me out though, cause right away a couple folks said "oh, they must be from seed"  It almost seems like clones are the norm and plants from seed are more rare.  I look at clones and don't really have a desire to mess with them.  Did it once...did'nt care for the results but, that's probably cause I have no experience with them.   Anyway, recently bought a new bucket/container to make food in.  It's six gallons and I can now make one batch-to feed them all- instead of two batches in that little 3 gallon bucket. Takes about 5 gallons to feed the girls.  They are now doing 3-2-1 Pink-Brown-Green and  I will add Tiger Bloom in a couple of weeks (stuffs great). Temps are nice about 70 in the room and 78 at the canopy.  I was thinking about LST but got lazy.  It always seems like a lot of work.  Maybe next time.  Here's a few pics... does'nt look much different from before just a lil bigger.  Enjoy!

		Ok.  All six are girls and it should be soon that we start seeing flowers.  Also I hit them with the Tiger Bloom.  I'll put up some pics in a few days.

		Looking really good!  Nice Fem seeds too.  Keep an eye on them for hermie, but if they were proper femed seeds you shouldn't have any.
As for increasing the purpling,  Some strains do it, some don't.   All will do it to some extent if the temps are low enough, but as for making the nice deep purple buds.....  well good luck.
There's the "PurpleMax" crap out there, but I don't really trust/believe in doing that to a plant.  If it's not gonna purp up on it's own, it's not gonna be purp! ;)
I'm watchin this for sure! :D :thumbsup: :weedpoke:
