Northeastern Dutch Passion Brainstorm and Blueberry Grow 2009

[AKickedBowl]

What's up guys? At the moment I have 2 Brainstorm plants that are what I believe to be about 2 1/2 weeks along. I have a blueberry seed coming in the mail which will be part of this log later. Prior to these pictures both plants were suffering from very red stems, an apparent magnesium deficiancy (brown spots), and the bottom leaves were yellow. Temperature wasn't that problem (its always around 80-84) and it was obvious they weren't being underfed. I fed them a double shot of foxfarms grow big about 5 days ago and they appear to be doing much better. The new foliage has hardly any brown spots yet some still remain on the lower parts of the plants.

Note--------I just watered them an hour ago thats why one of them is kind of limping. Before they were both up right reaching for the light.

I plan to repot both of them tomorrow and feed them again a couple days later. Soon after I'm going to be needing to take clones because I want to do more then 3 plants this grow.

Opinions? :rasta:

if your only 2 1/2 weeks in its way too soon to be giving nutes!

they are going to get nute burned... which i could be wrong, but that looks like exactly what is happening to your lower leaves that are yellowing.

and you gave a double-shot of nutes? i;m not familiar with the fox farm line (i know its popular.. but can;t get it here) but wow that seems like a huge no-no compared with everything I have read... everybody else (non-hydro growers) seem to start nutes around the 1 month mark and only give them like 1/4 of the recomended dosage at first and work there way up to stronger strengths (which generally still doesn;t exceed the recomended dosage)...

what is your starting soil made out of? the main reason people don;t give nutes right away is because the soil contains nutes in it already... your only adding nutes to replace the nutes that get used up from the soil... if your soil contained nothing to begin with (this would really mean its not soil i think...) then this would make sense though.

Yellow leaves don't always mean over fert thats a huge missconception. It entirely depends on the way in which the leaves are yellowing. The ENTIRE leaf slowly turned yellow, it didn't have a harsh burn at the tip and move down. Also... because of the presence of red stems its impossible for there to be over fert.

All i know is that they appear to be doing great. Too be honest, it might not have been a double shot. I went braindead as i was making the solution and tried to remember exactly what i did and assumed it was a double shot it easily could have been a normal one. I know that sounds really dumb but its the reality of how I do things LOL :stoned:

the soil is compost from outside and thats really it works fine.

i Pretty much get the same thing too people are busy and stuff but your grow looks pretty cool ill be watching. lower leaves slowly turning yellow generally means nitro deficiency. and your plants look a little older than 2.5 weeks is that from when you put the seed in the ground or once you had leaves? i say it looks like they needed the nitro to me. :thumbsup: plants look good now. well ill be stopping in all the time you should stop by mine (first grow. led) maybe we can be posting buddies lol.:wtf:

peace.

personally, i just tend to find that people only post responses when your asking questions or they see potential problems with your grow...

I work in the IT field, and we totally operate on the "no news is good news" rule... i know it can suck here when you'd like to be hearing positive feedback though :\

I think you'll also find once the grow hits the flowering stage people start getting alot more interested when you start posting some bud pics

I would def. agree with that statement....My first grow I didn't hear too much from people until I got to the budding phase....I mean cause a lot of times everybody likes to see a nice bushy veg. plant, but we like it more to see some bud porn with lots of calyxes and lots of trichomes. Personally, I like exotic looking buds like the purple strains Another reason why I've started these blueberry...Supposed to be like a pale lavender color in bud and be really fruity. That's right up my alley:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Otherwise, I will be in tuned to this grow and checking it out all the way to the end!:thumbsup: GOOD LUCK!!

I think thats also why you tend to see alot of grow logs that people don't even start until they are very close to entering the flowering stage, or have already been in it for a week or 2...

i started mine right from seed germination though... as a first-time grower, i REALLY appreciate the other grow logs that started right from the very begining.. its a little daunting doing your first grow and not having any kind of frame of reference as to what to expect... thats why i started mine early on and try and post pic updates every few days... so other new people coming along that might be growing in a similiar fashion to me can have something to look at and have some reference points...

but lets also face it... grows in a veg stage that have no problems at all and are going normally are not exactly the most exciting things to look at in the world... its when something odd happens or you start to see the final product (buds) that peoples intrests start getting perked up

Correct my friend.....I too on my first grow was looking for advice from everyone but got it from a few that were a real help to my grow...It's funny though because on my first grow I never tested the ph of my water, never had anything to check humidity or anything that I'm supposed to have, but I never really had a big problem so I was lucky! So long as the questions keep coming someone will be there to answer!
