blueberry/c99 - first cab grow

more pics


anyone know why in 2 of my plants I see really purple stems on one level of leaves (see last pic)? It's on both of my back plants, but not on the third (front) one.

also, when should I start nutes? is this a good size? I think they're around the proper age, but they're not up to size with the age they are because they've been under weak lights for a while.

tybeet Reviewed by tybeet on 02-07-2007. blueberry/c99 - first cab grow This is my first attempt at a grow with some Joey Weed blueberry/c99 hybrid seeds. I made the mistake of adding nutes when they were seeds even (eek!) and I think as a result the middle plant got a bit of a nute burn from the soil (the others did not because I transplanted them to fresh soil). I'm trying to figure out why growth is so much faster for the middle one, probably because the lights are so much closer? As it stands right now I have fairly poor lighting, though I'm doing the Rating: 5

some pics of their progress.

and my new 55w cfl

I started them all on nutes now. I've been noticing serious purpling of the stems on the back two, and none on the front one, and the front one's soil had nutes in it from seedling stage, so logical deduction would have it that: yup, they need nutes.

also, here's my results from a FIM job in high-res.

you can see there's about 4 new main stems, I think?

Hi pal!

your having at each internode a lateral growth and these eventually become enough big that you can take them and make clones out of these. if you let them grow you'll get lateral branches with buds on it if it turns out its a girl.

thanks for all the advice and encouragement so far.
here are some updates.

(almost can transport these outdoors!... just 1.5 months!)

one of them is very small and very sad. I think that's because the pot is really strange, and I have a bowl underneath catching water, however sometimes this bowl has quite a bit of water (which I didn't know until now), and some roots were stretching down into it, in the meantime exposing themselves to air.. plus she's kinda overgrown by the other two, and the pot is much smaller.. so all these elements are factors in the sadness. I plan to keep her around and bring her back to good status when I move them outdoors.

In one pic I close-up to see if any of you can judge the sex, mind giving a hand with that?

anyway, things are going great, these things are SUPER picky about nutes though!

also, any advice on how to bring my big girl back around? she's the droopy one. I can't figure out why I've flushed a few times, and now she's on the same treatment as my other girl.
