Blue Rhino (Blueberry X White Rhino) Grow Log

Hey Guys
Basically i scored myself some Blue Rhino Clones so i decided to start another log in case anyone wants to watch but really more so i can get input if i do anything wrong and also props if i do anything right lol

Using a 600w HPS although right now it has a retro fit MH globe in it and growing in a 50/50 Perlite & Vermiculite mix using a wick system.

On the side you can see my Blueberry mother that ive brought into the room until i turn 12//12 although i dont think its worth keeping alive i might just turn it aswell as it seems to have a more sativa pheno and it actually has some strange growth.. but i did have to give it quite a hiding with perithium (spelt wrong i know lol) so i think that might have stunted it a bit.. Ohh and i gave it a chop yesterday aswell :)

Well any feedback or criticism is quite welcome as im quite new to this (only a few grows under my belt)
Thanks :)

Its only been four days but i took some piccies for my own records of growth and thought id share the results. :)

Lol
Once again im taking some more diary photos and adding them to share :thumbsup:

I know i know i take alot of piccies.. what can i say im proud of my girls :)
There growing pretty fast!

Looking good. Count me in, I'd love to see how they turn out. :)

Gonna watch your girls as they grow up to be big girls with sexy buds.

Looking forward to watching as well. When I saw your tarp it reminded me of the old cheech and chong movie were he was on a later pretending to swim while the helicopter was flying over head. LOL. :thumbsup:

Dang, those are looking real nice! :thumbsup:

What kinda nutes are you going to use?

Geez man their growing fast:thumbsup: Have you planed on lst or any other methods? They sure look healthy for sure.

Using Canna's Classic Range at the higher rate at the moment putting a few drops of superthrive now and then :)
Got Canna's PK 13/14 to help fatten up the buds towards the end :thumbsup:
Doing a flush everynow and then to remove the built up salts..

I love canna because i never have to EVER change any PH levels because it does it all itself!

I've used a heap of different methods before but i think ill just top them once they get a bit bigger and see how they go..
Im going to let them get quite big before i turn them too :thumbsup:

Going to be big plants.. Last grow i had around double the plants using a SOG technique but this time its going to be half the plants twice the size

Thanks heaps for the support guys it really means alot to get compliments from other growers :D

p.s the walls are getting mylar'd today and the floor too, got a 12" carbon filter, fan and silence getting installed today so that should help..
They are really small now but smell quite alot already! Got my hopes up!!

hey awesome looking plants! how old??? you are only using perlite and vermiculite as your grow medium??? i didnt know you could do that.... do you feed very often or what?? i am interested in trying your method if it is just 50 perlite and 50 vermiculite and then nutes water and a flush let me know thank!

Hey mate,
Yeah just a mix of the perlite and vermiculite is all im using :)
I believe i started late january..

It makes things very easy due to the face that they don't actually store nutrients in the medium so when flushed properly it goes entirely back to neutral and is very similar to using a hydro setup because you have so much more control in what the plant actually takes in.

I generally water the plants when i notice that they are quite lighter its a great indicator of how much water (nutrients) is still being held.

I have a mate that waters them every day but i find that to be a bit over kill but he doesnt seem to have any large issues doing this due to the good aeration from the medium.
(I have told him of the risks of mold and behold some mold reared its head)
Some just can't be warned lol

Thanks guys for stopping by and i will be posting some more pics this arvo as i have installed a 12" Carbon filter, fan and silence ducting into the roof cavity and the walls and floors are now covered in mylar to help reflect some light to under the leaves and the sides :thumbsup:

Hey mate,
Just give it a little while and when your looking to transplant let it dry out and transfer like you would with soil :)

MAKE SURE when you pot it push the material down well (compress it) if not the medium will not be strong or stable enough to support a larger plant, i learnt the hard way last grow :(
Just not too hard or you will damage the roots :thumbsup:

Update
Few pics of the setup showing the large box i created to go over the large windows in the room with intake attached & also my big carbon filter with fan & silencer :thumbsup:

Update
All the plants (cept 1 or 2) have been topped and are showing some lovely side growth :)

Going to 12/12 today :)
Will update pics after dark :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Moving to Canna Flores today and Canna BOOST aswell @ Maximum Rates.
Haven't seen any signs of deficiencies or over fertilization so it must be a pretty hardy strain so ill push it as hard as i can safely.

Doing a clean in the room which is why there is a little mess on the floor ;)

keep doing what you are doing. They look very happy.:thumbsup:

Thanks for the encouragement :thumbsup:

Update.
Just changed over the HPS globes. Read around that using MH globes for the first week helps fight over stretching. Seems to be helping that's for sure :thumbsup:

Couple More

Any comments would be really appreciated.
This is my third grow and am really happy with the results so far :thumbsup:

Update.
Buds are starting to form! YEHHHHHHHH :thumbsup:

Nice shiny buds coming through!

Them girls look real pretty. :thumbsup:
I look forward to seeing the pictures when you have frosty cured bud. :rastasmoke:

You should be proud of yourself, your grow is going 100mph:hippy: and looking awesome. Thats a great strain growing under a nice light, which will put a smile on your face soon.

I cant wait to see these buds:jointsmile:

Great grow tristan:rasta:

Nice little grow!!! Blueberry X White Rhino sounds great!

I don't mean to crap in yer mess kit but you do know you don't want to be inhaling vermiculite from your pots, right?

I used to grow mushrooms back in the day using that stuff. Worked great but theres always that caution. The thought of having the dust from vermiculite landing on my buds makes me cringe a little as it relates to using it as a medium for growing bud.

Hey mate, thanks for the advice but im quite aware of the health issues from both perlite and vermiculite. Before the actual medium is used i rinse it twice to ensure all the small particles and dust is rinsed through :)
I actually wear those dust masks when mixing it all :thumbsup:
Thanks for looking out though:)

Thanks heaps for the encouragement guys! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Dude, those babes are going to explode, I can feel it. Great cross. Bet she gets real stinky

This is like porn to me. The cross sounds beautiful and they're lookin just as good
Nice work mate :thumbsup:

I'm a real sucker for the grape smell and taste. Combine that with the frostiness of white rhino and YOU HAVE GOT TO HAVE KILLER WEED, uh, er, I mean medicine.

Thanks Guys :thumbsup:
