new grow,blueberry seeds and clones

[atsar]

Hey, atsar. Glad to see you have a new log up. Looking forward to it. I could've sworn I had already posted in it, but guess not. Well, good luck with your girl-hunt. lol

Be checkin' in later, man. Be cool.


The Fog :rastasmoke:

thanks man,the female hunt is well and truly on,though i have a couple i suspect will be male,there's no preflowers yet,there's just something about them,spacing between nodes,leaf shape and even smell ever so slightly different to others,who knows but something tells me they're male so will be intresting to find out if i'm right

haha, you're 3 node plant looks so cool, I dont think ive seen one like that before! Good luck with your grow, looks like you have a good start

it's great aint it,would be cool if it was a female,looking at how it grows if it's female then it should yeild more than the normal plants as it has 3 branches at each node,so if it was female and started to bud,there's gonna be more branches for the buds to form on,plus they'll be forming on 3 sides of each branch instead of the standard 2,though i may be totally wrong,i've never had one like this before

atsar Reviewed by atsar on 06-13-2007. new grow,blueberry seeds and clones well this is now my 4th grow and i've got some blueberry seeds for it,will also be using a clone or 2 from my last grow i'm growing in a small wardrobe with a 400watt hps,and a couple of fans blowing have a couple of clones rooted already and some more in the propigator,along with some seeds which have now started to sprout,my aim is to get the 5 best plants into 12 litre buckets in my wardrobe,the rest can go outside,maybe keep one as a mother anyway some pics of the wardrobe,clones Rating: 5

Is that water bottle in your first pic of this thread used for Co2?

[atsar]

yeah,it's 2 bottles tied together which i hang above the fan,got 2 new fans and had to reposition them,that's why you don't see them anymore,just a simple mixture of sugar water and yeast

[orangeman]

Yeah, I want to add more Co2 to my room but I don't know where to get any yeast lol.

[atsar]

your local supermarket,corner shop maybe

[orangeman]

Cool, I'll be lookin' for it the next time I go to the store lol. I want to see if it could help my yield. I never knew I'd be such a yield freak You'd be surprised at how many hours I've spent trying to find ways to increase my yield since my first flowers started showing lol. Btw plants are lookin' good. I can't wait to see how they bloom .

[atsar]

been nearly a week since adding pics so thought i'd add a few

weather here in the uk has been,well a bit shit for a few days now so plants are being treated to some lower temps and higher humidity,they best enjoy it while it lasts heh,

seeing signs of pre-flowers on 2 plants,can't tell what they are yet but i'm betting the plant in pics 4 and 5 is a bloke,it's one of the ones i suspected will be male,just look at the space between nodes,length of leaf stems etc,not to mention the ball like thing beginning to appear,and it's the only one that's reached maturity(alternating nodes)

pics 2 and 3 are the same plant,hoping this 1 will be female,it's smaller and more compact

rest are plodding along nicely,though i'm really hoping to see some sex soon so i can get them into the bigger pots,haven't enough pots or space to re pot them until they do show sex,just hope the smaller pots don't stunt their growth meantime,though i see no roots in drainage holes yet

anyway here's the pics

[atsar]

still not happy about the plants in the small pots but just don't have space for bigger ones,so i decided to put a few of them on 12/12 so i can see what sex they are,as soon as they show i'll put them straight back into veg,considered putting the whole cabinet on 12/12 but i've only just managed to get those clones re-vegging and don't think they could handle the stress

[atsar]

don't know why,but i've noticed the plants i put on 12/12 have changed colour to a much deeper green than the rest are and the leaves are really shiny compared to the rest,and they've only had one 12 hour dark period

it's so noticable you can easily tell what ones are 12/12 just by looking

[atsar]

well been looking at pictures of previous grows and it would seem my plants are all around the size i usually start 12/12,they've been going about 4 weeks i think,so i've decided to switch them all over to 12/12

i'm going to do like i did in my 2nd grow and give them a bend in the middle of each plant to bring the main cola level with the tops of the bottom branches,i did this around 9 days into 12/12,so will probably do it about then again

and even if all goes wrong i still have my mother plant for clones,well i call it a mother,it's more of a donor,it's growing in a pot outside and i've tied it all down to fit in my coldframe,i'm going to allow it to go full cycle but will take any cuttings i want from it,i assume it still has a good 4 months before it'll finish outdoors so plenty time for taking cuttings,it's the plant in the last 2 pics

anyway,the pics,all comments appreciated
thanks
