Small Closet Grow Log

[purplekush989]

i actually had a question for you about the lighting. I was originally planning on using a 150 hps plus some supplemental cfl's for my grow, quite similar to your setup. however, if all goes well i should have 2-3 flowering plants instead of 1. Since you said you need MORE supplemental light for just one flowering plant, do you think it would be wise to upgrade to a 250 or even 400w for 2-3 plants? I'm trying to minimize electricity cost / ventilation needs so im trying to keep the HID light as small as possible.

You could use this 150w for 2-3 plants, but they would have to be small, single-cola plants. For 2-3 plants, I would suggest the 250w. I think the heat could still be properly managed with that of a 250w; however, I think a 400w would be too overkill (w/o proper vent.).

You should still add in supplemental side CFLs if you want some good development of the lateral floral meristems.

Whats up everyone.

Bud development is looking nice now. She got full strength nutes today. Yesterday added some sugar water + yeast in a gallon jug to get some CO2 going.

1 Quart dechlorinated lukewarm water
1 packet yeast
3 cups sugar

This recipe should last for 2-3 weeks. I like to add CO2 in flowering anyway possible.

Vertical growth appears to have stopped. Now it's all horizontal (bud) growth! :stoned:

breathe on them!!:stoned::stoned:

Hello people!

The smell on this baby is exactly how i would describe blueberry cheese!! You get a strong blueberry overtone with a slight skunk/dank/cheese undertone - very nice.

Not really any problems to report which is good. Just a few more fan leaves coming off on their own. Should just be normal aging of the plant. A few pistils have started to change color, so I lowered her down a couple inches. Just wanted to make sure that light wasn't too close.

This is the last week I'm going to use beastie bloomz (used it about 3 weeks total).

Looking nice, I am impressed with how you managed to get such a flat top. Any chance you could rewind time and take some pictures of how you did it?

Thanks!
I wish I had documented the top n train process through veg! It took about two months total.
But if you look at the last picture posted, you can see just where I topped it. It was topped just above the 5th node of the main stem (not sure what week of veg). Then, all 10 of the lateral stems were trained to the sides with wire. With using wire, you can set all of the tops at appropriate heights to get a nice even canopy.
Of course, different lateral stems can growth at different rates, so individual repositioning is key. You'll be surprised how easy it is to manipulate the canopy.
The middle area of the bush, where the original cola used to be, will fill in pretty quickly from the side branches of the top lateral branches.

nice log yourself btw! :stoned:

Blue cheese you say??

It looks so yummy. Grats on a great lookin girl.

Ive heard that Blueberry is very finicky with nutes and is easily over fed. Does your Blue cheese show that pheno? I am interested in a blueberry cross but dont want it to be as tempermental to nutes as Blueberry.

Also how do you like Beastie Bloomz? Everytime I see it I want it. I want to try the FF 3 part with open sesame and cha ching ( cant remember if its cha ching...) but its 90 bucks and money is tight at the moment.

Not so much from what I've seen. I started off weak and the past couple of weeks I've increased nute concentration. No real signs of nute burn from that. It probably does help to have a blueberry X if that's true.

Also how do you like Beastie Bloomz

I've never grown w/o BB, so I don't have a control to compare to. I would recommend it though, even with the steep price. A bottle of it will last years. I didn't bother with open sesame, and my buddy is going to buy me cha ching in a week or so. That should really help with resin/oil production (according to their marketing).
I do notice however, that after an application of BB, some bottom leaves turn yellow and will fall off. I've read that this is expected from BB usage.

What's crappening?

I lost my jump drive so I have to wait until I get another to post pics. I did just take pics of day 40 flower, so I won't forget to post those.

I caught a mistake in the beginning of my log. This strain's flowering time is 8-9 weeks rather than 9-10. I figure around day 60 it'll be ready, so that means 20 days left!

Next feeding (friday) will contain Cha Ching for the first time. I'm excited to see what it can do. The only thing I don't understand about it is that it contains some nitrogen...not sure why you would need that at the end of flowering!?!?

Again - I'll post pics asap :stoned:
