Hey Brook, was off line almost all day yesterday so I couldn't get back to you. Alaska? That is my neck of the woods, so feel free to venture the last frontier just bring some papers and dress warm, that go's for you too GK. Maybe we could get a couple rooms at the ski resort or get a cabin out yonder with a couple snow machines, rumm, rumm, vroom, vroom!! If in the summer, we could still do the cabin, maybe on a lake with Jet skis or just some good old fashion fishing and toking.
Well on the root bottle, what kind of application does it recommend? Off the top I would say start using at about 10 days in small doses and see how they respond, if they show no negative signs above ground they are probably doing just fine under the soil. With the super bloom, if you are at least 7 to 10 days into flower I would hit them with it. Until you are familiar with the product, I would start off in small doses. What kind of soil mix do you use? I cut my soil with about 50 % perlite so I can water almost every other day, my plants seem to like the frequent watering and the aeration. My pots are at a moisture level of a 1 or 2 out of 8 when I water, but if cut with vermiculite I could probably go 3 or 4 days without watering, augh just rambling now.
Talk too you 2's later. Brook you never said what kind of music you play. Also, sorry to hear about your bro, hope he is doing all right now and can keep kicking for many years to come. My grandpa has it as well.

going from back to front, hi bear!

my brother is ok, he's as hard as his own head, lol. we just have to take care of him so he WILL be around for years to come. (he doesn't like it though, especially when i won't let him do things he wants to do, or let him outside in the humidity) damn hard head!

as for music, i play all sorts, but mostly, well i don't really know. new age? i only play my own originals, so i gess it doesn't really fall under a category. hmmmm. immagine sarah mclaughlin and evanessance, mix that up with some g+r, ac-dc, led for the head and other classic artists, and you'll be pretty close. like new age classic rock with a soft side.

for soil, i experimented. half of seed plants are in miracle grow soil, the others are grown in bacto. i hate bacto. after 4 weeks, its like a brick, and it won't dry out. it is alway wet, which makes it hard to know when they need water. the miracle grow stuff work great, drys out fast, but has time released fertilizer in it. so you never know if it still has ferts in it when switching to flower. i used super bloom this morning on out door girl at half strength, and wow! i didn't know they could grow that fast! all nodes that did not have buds this morning have got em' now! and the ones that were there (swear to god) are twice the size they were this morning, from popcorn to a thumb!

the root stuff i'll have to get back to you on. the bottle is out in the car and i am being so extremely lazy right now it's redicculous! i know that its made for transplants.

and as for alaska, i realy, realy, REALY want to go there, my brother has, he has pics that are so incredible.... its just not fair.
however, we have talked about going some time next summer. it'd be great to have someone local show us around. and i LOVE fishing (skiing too, but my skis have only ever been on water, lol (it doesn't snow/freeze here too often))

ne way, if it works out, it works out. i know i'd love it (look, a cute little teddy! "grawr!!!") sightseeing mother natures landscape paintings is at the very top of my hobby list.

thanx for the input bear, i'll have more details for you in a little while. prob about 8 or 9 to nite.

where are you today, gk?

love, brooke

[brookerosebud]

its a girl! its a girl! one is deff a female! 5 others show signs of female, but its still too soon to tell. going to hit with super bloom tonite.

out door is a friggin bush! brought her in for the last time today. going to use cfl's from now on, she's too big to take in and out n e more without damaging her beautiful fruit.

put one of four out door clones in flower box today, 8 inches, 9 nodes.
other three i'm considering scrog. all three, one screen, veg for about 2 weeks.

clones from blueberry 1,2,7,8 (burnt clones) were put under veg light today as a last chance effort. still yellowish, but out of eight, i think four will live. (2 from #1, 0 from #2, 1 from #7, and 1 from #8.

clones from 3,4,5, and 6 are a pretty green, but one is starting to bend over. others look fine. 2 clones from each plant.

later i'll post a detailed report of each individual blueberry plant from seed (training, nute schedule, and current description.

1, 2, 3, show little nubs that i believe to be female flowers.
4 hasn't showed any.
5 has deffinate female flowers up and down the plant.
6 hasn't showed.
7 has same nubs as 1, 2, 3
8 shows none.

going to hit with a light mixed drink (super bloom) tonite.
its gettin excitin' now, boys!!!

love, brooke

Hello...

HOW CAN YOU NOT SHOW US A PICTURE..

"freaging bush" I wanna see this beauty!!!

iloveyou


set your brother free : )

[brookerosebud]

oh, oh, my dear gk,

i soooo want to show you pics of all of our babies. (yep thats right, you and blue are the daddies! my knights in shining armour) especially outdoor. this one had a rough time, started about 9 months ago. after coming near death several times due to temps, bug and spider mite infestations, and wierd forces of nature, we put her out side as a last effort and kinda forgot about her for two or three weeks (beginning of the blueberry gro). now, this plant that looked so ugly and sick (it was actually growing across the floor instead of verticle) is showing me things i did not think possible. first i tied branches to stretch it out and hold it up, when we first put it outside. now the strings have been cut and the plant fills a cubic meter!

yeh, i wish i had some pics too! if nothing else, after harvest, i'll put aside a few grams to trade for a cam, or sell them so i can buy one.

sorry, but that kinda the way the cookie crumbles, ya know?

maybe i can find a polaroid or something.

ne way, where is blue bear today?

oh, and i have 2 stupid questions and reasons for asking them;

1) why is it that people say miracle gro is bad? i've always used miracle gro, at least for veg, and i have excellent results. 4 week old plants look like 8 week old plants kind of thing. used 24 8 16 for vegging these blueberrys. i was using 15 30 15 for out door, until i got the superbloom. i know that some types of mg have extra additives in them. i do not use these; i get the kind that can be used on vegetables.

2) why is ABSOLUTE darkness necessary? out in nature, almost no plant gets absolute darkness. there's the moon, the stars, reflection off the atmospere. and the other reason i ask, is that out door girl has been outside almost every night until now (except for the cold ones) and when the sun goes down, an hps night light comes on about 30 feet from her. shes growing like hell though. so what with total darkness?

sorry for asking these q's, but if i knew the anwer, i wouldn't ask.

n e way...
talk to you guys tomorrow!

~love, brooke~

Hi Brooke,

Darkenss initiates the flowering due to the presence of a hormone that breaks down when subject to light (you probably know that). After 12 hours darkness the level of the hormone is enough to tell the plant to flower.

"Absolute" darkness is not necessary - I guess people say that just to make sure - frequent bright light interruption during flower can cause hermies if the plant has started flowering, or prevent flowering starting if it's not already doing so.

What is important is that there is enough darkenss on enough of the plant for 12 hours to ensure the level of this hormone is high enough. You can actually flower individual branches on a plant if you want to by just making sure that those branches are kept dark for 12 hours.

Once flowering has started low levels of light, or short exposure of bright light (less than a couple of mins) will be tolerated in my experience.

WIth regard to the moon, don't forget it's only full for a few days a month, so it won't have any real affect on flowering in the wild. Wavelength of light is also important for the breakdown of the hormone - you can shine green light ok on your plants during the dark period. Stars are way too dim - like Brad Pitt, Madonna etc.

MG is cool, I used to use it until I found some super cheap stuff. Lets face it if you spend shitloads of cash on the 'best' nutes, your gonna want to feel good about it so you disrespect those that ain't expensive. N-P-K is N-P-K, it just cames in more fancy bottles I guess. The stuff I use now is £5 ($10) a kilo, has all the micro nutrients and lasts for ages.

Ta Ta for now, -MP.
