Well my life is pretty screwed up right now and havent been able to take care of my grow like I should be. One thing that happened a tree fel on my car and it got totaled, and homeowners didnt cover it, its a total loss. Im financially strapped and trying to find a job. Enough with the personal stuff for sake of getting id'd..

Anyways... yesterday I stopped feeding them for the day to let them dry out some. The algae was terrible so I did this when there was only about a gallon left in the resevoir and removed it. One of the problems was im using a clear tote from walmart or where ever I got it. So I did the ghetto thing and simply wrapped 7 mil plastic around it and taped it with a good seal. I then cleaned the whole system, scrubed it. I also checked all the drippers and removed probably 4-5 of them were clogged, and checked all lines. I took all those plants and stuck them on my flood and drain table temporaly while I did this. I used a temporary res, a small trashcan and put in a mild bleach and warm water. After I was satisfied with that I emptied it, put fresh water and used some floraclean from GH.. Why did I use it? I dont really know besides on the bottle it says to do it every once in while so I figure it would be a good time to do this as well. There is no nutes or anything in the water at the moment I plan on starting them again on nutes sometime tomorrow. I noticed when I let them dry up some that with in hours powdery mildew occured, looked like little crystal on the hydrotron. Im not sure if it was but I will assume without even researching it.

I came to the conclusion that its to many plants to deal with in such a small area, the table is 2x4 and the tops were balled up and retarded. To many of them fighting for light ect.. It was really hard to decide to get rid of them but im limited on space and I had to do what I had to do. I removed 14 plants, the majority of them were blueberry from dutch passion. out of 10 seeds I have one growing and with my luck it will be a male. I saved alot of the ak-48's and tried to have 3 of each left.. Ice I only have 2 now. The way I picked what was to stay was chose the healthy looking and on the short side. I got rid of the ones that had thin stalks too. I had 2 bagseed plants I removed all together, I can grow those anytime. So what this leave us at?

5 AK-48's
3 K-2's
3 Northern Light
2 Ice
1 BlueBerry

So thats 14 plants left and 14 removed

I know at this point its safe to say I can start the sexing process and make some clones. I will wait 2-3 days before this so I can work the nutes up again to a good level. Ive only been using about 600 ppm for the nutes upto this point.

mrberrys, Yeah its crazy man I dont understand how they can sell that crap and its not stable. Havent they been growing and breeding that strain for years?!? No one should get these problems at such a high ratio to decent ones. Ive contemplated contacting them but I dont think ill bother.

And yes 6 of mine looked just like yours.

Jack, I pulled of the green rockwool and buried them and as you read above I thing the res was the main problem..

Well thats it sorry I havent been posting but I got some drama in my life. I plan on making another post on the cloning day. Right now the plants are tripping from the moving around a fresh water we will give them a few days to recover and go to the next stage... And also the fans need to open up from being balled up and retarded..

Hey I 420 sorry to hear that you had to get rid of some plants. I know how hard it is to try and keep up I think we all know how hard it is for your first time starting out. That blueberry is a hard strain to start out with because it is picky about how much it wants to be fed. its good that you kept the ak48 and the other because what i have read they all are easy to grow for first timers Ill keep checking back in to see if I can help out peace.
