Hey now, hope everyone is having a great week. The Glueberry OG is still hanging in there, she is only 10 inches by week 5, but she appears to be fairly healthy. I did some LST this week, mainly readjusting the uppermost mains to try and allow the lowers to catch up. I did go out of the state for a few days and when I got back the PH in my reservoir was at 7.1 which is way too high. I miscalculated how much it would rise while I was gone, I should have had someone swing by and check it, but i will next time. Fortunately it doesn't appear to have affected this Glueberry OG as all her leaves are still lime green. It did affect the Strawberry Banana from Fastbuds slightly, as the lower leaves have a couple rust spots but nothing major. Fortunately the two youngest plants were not even hooked up to the reservoir yet.
I am still very pleased with this Medic Grow light, as I still have her on the V1 Spectrum at 60% now and she is keeping the plants short and bushy. I believe this Glueberry OG is about to start stretching maybe this week or next at the latest. I will do my best to limit her height as much as possible, as this light is way too powerful to have her colas getting any closer than 10-12 inches at most. Not much left to do with this Glueberry OG except continue some minor LST to keep her level, and determine when to switch to flower nutrients. I see many growers switch to flower nutrients as soon as they see pre-flowers, pistils, etc, but I disagree with this method. I continue feeding veg nutrients until I see my lady stop growing vertically. The reason is if you cut off the nitrogen too early she will stop stretching and just produce flowers, so the length of her colas will be GREATLY reduced. If I am running out of vertical space during the stretch, I will make the switch a little early.
Thanks for stopping by, Stay Safe and Blaze On!!! 💪

@Tweezer, I haven't grown this strain but anything with OG kush is normally 👌
Dutch passion have some amazing genetics but it's been years since I grew any (the to grow list is always growing and ever changing)
I've grown purple punch from barney's farm , it was a real nice plant with a nice high and was so pretty 😍.
Have you grown barney's farm miosa evo ? I've grown maybe 10 seeds of it ,all really nice but 2 of those were very very terpy in a breath taking way , sadly I didn't keep mothers of them but it's a strain I will definitely grow and search that particular pheno out .
Have a great weekend brother.
@LittleBigTrees, Thanks much appreciated, have you ever grown these genetics and if so how was she? This is actually my first run of anything Dutch Passion, but I have heard great things about them. I am going to be popping a couple Strawberry Banana Autos from Fastbuds tomorrow and then some Gorilla Girl by Sweet sseeds and Purple Punch by Barney's Farm in another week to fill out the tent. Stay safe brother.
@Tweezer, nah, it was a freebie seed that ended up cloning itself by the dozen. lots of root seedlings popped up once flower hit with cotyledon leaves and everything. pulled one up by the stem haha
@@resimax, Thanks brother, I hope she ends up looking like your girl scout cookie clone, that would be fucking sick!!! Tough to get good clones in my region, did you grow them yourself?
With that setup 😍 you'll smash these. My friend did the auto glueberry from dutch passion and from my memory it turned out very good as with the other DP seeds (skywalker haze auto) I've seen, I'll be doing more from these guys myself. Love all the info you add, I need to get myself a uv/ir supplement light, I've got the mars ts3000 atm. Love the setup you've got, I'll get there one day lol.
@Aldo90, Much appreciated brother. Mars Hydro makes great lights for the price, my first light was a 100 Watt Spider Farmer and then i pretty much used a combination of mainly mars hydro FC 3000 and a little bit of Vipar Spectra and an occasional HPS bulb. I saw you grow in coco sometimes, did you ever set up an automatic feeding system that waters them every 6 hours or whatever? I build my own self draining saucers with a few parts you can buy off amazon and it makes life so much easier. All I do is mix a 5 gallon bucket of nutes every other day or whatever and dump it into the reservoir. I also have to clean the reservoir and pump once a week (which takes me 10-15 minutes, and also check the PH once a day and add a few drops of PH down if necessary. The most expensive part is a condensate pump that is like $120 but it is absolutely worth it. It allows the runoff to just follow gravity into a bucket in the corner of your tent, then when it gets up a few inches the pump kicks on and pumps it outside the tent to a larger runoff reservoir. I use the runoff to feed my tomatoe plants and they go crazy from it. The feeding system is just a 14 gallon reservoir with a pump and airstone hooked up to a digital timer and then a feeding line to each plant with a ballvalve to adjust the flow, and connected to a halo that goes around your plant and you can attach to the grow container. Only takes an afternoon to set up and it super worth it. I can go away for the weekend and forget about it.
If you want the website to build it hit me up, be safe brother.
@KingSalomonsWeed, thanks brother, I appreciate that, this is my first time ever trying out supplemental uv/ir but alot of the lab reports I have consistently boost thc in like clones by around 4-6% on average in a controlled environment, so I am super excited to compare the results with some same strains I previously ran.
Of course - your babies look amazing. Im in love with the hanging grow bags as well. I started strapping my bags to an old useless car port frame to get them away from the rabbits lol. Love seeing your grows. Grow on toke on! 💚
Those medic grow lights are identical to sonofarm lights. I was trying to look into it today but I couldn't find much. Literally the same light fixtures inside and out ??? Let me know how you like it
@@Billyandbarb, damn you are correct, I looked em up and I don't see any difference, maybe selling the same light under 2 brands? Not sure....I will have a much better review in a few months but so far am very happy with the Spectrum X....
@@@Billyandbarb, hey now, that's just a 200 watt panel heater I use mainly for seedlings and set to only run during lights off as supplemental heat to prevent leggy seedlings.
