dp blueberry day 32 Nute question?

i am at day 32, other than the plant way outgrowing my cab by almost tripling in size it has gone pretty well. my main question is how much nutes and when. gh floranova. i started with a 50/50 mix of bloom/grow nutes when first switched, then went to a bloom mix of 1/4 tsp per gal with distilled h2o. i gave her about 3/4 gal every 2 days. then after 1 1/2 weeks i upped it to 1/2 tsp every other day. now i am at 1 tsp per gal. the nutes ratio is 4-8-7 with a 1 tsp per gallon equaling around 500 ppm or ec 1. I know this is a critical time and i dont want to overdo it. here are some pics to help in your comments. this is a cfl soil grow.

looks healthy so id say keep it like it is and slowly bump it up, if you want, before flushing. shit looks similar to my girl but shes not that far along yet. beautiful buds

id say watch those fan leaves close too with that color

Ya looks good just keep it up:thumbsup:

thanks klup, i hope your grow turns out great for you. do you think i should trim those older fans off? thanks for your input.:jointsmile:

Thanks tok!!:jointsmile:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You should leave your leaves (haha) alone unless they are severely damaged. I know it's tempting to cut them, but let 'em be.

Listen to Gainesville, it's normal for fan leaves to lighten later in flowering. You're using a fertilizer with less Nitrogen, this will lead to yellowing of older (and generally fan) leaves first.

I grow in soil, so I can't offer any advice on nutrients for your hydro setup at this stage in flowering. I'd keep doing what you've been doing, I'm continually impressed at the results of some of the CFL grows I am seeing, and yours is no different! Just remember to phase the nutrients out some point shortly before harvesting.

Great job, and enjoy the end-result! :jointsmile:

Thanks Mr. C, this is a soil grow. I am pretty happy myself with the way the cfl grow is going, i chose them basically for heat reasons and the fact that i could place two of them giving a wider range for my setup. I have two 125's in there now, both red. i vegged under one red and one blue. Vegged out super nice for me with no problems, Yet! cross my fingers. Thanks alot for your input, much appreciated.:jointsmile:

Those are good reasons for using CFLs, and it seems to be working really well for you! I wouldn't change a thing about your nute regimen, they're doing their job perfectly. If you're not already doing periodic flushes, make sure you get several good ones in before you chop her down.

I'd like to get a few CFL and 4" fluorescent fixtures set up in the same area as my HID. After seeing what they're capable of doing on their own, I'm getting a lot of incentive to find a good even mix of the two. Great job, by the way! Can't remember if I said that earlier...

you said you were upping the nutes or something. when you flipped them you should have stayed with the ppm you were using in veg. by that time, you'd be using full strength nutes. the only difference would be the npk in the flower nutes.

Thanks again mr.c i hope your future with the cfl accents work well for you. Good luck!:jointsmile:

Thanks bongo,
i dont think i ever reached a full scale nute regimen during veg, i only fed twice and very little amounts throughout veg as it never really seemed to show any deficiencies. One more quick question when everyone says to mix it at say 1/4 strength, excuse my ignorance but is that 1/4 strength it says for "most plants during later growth" and is that for once a week or every water? the bottle says 2 tsp/gal 950ppm for the later growth and a 3tsp/gal for max strength for rapid growth. I appreciate all the help. Thanks again!:pimp:
