Blue Berry by Spliff Seeds (Nano Grow)

Beginning of week.. One sturdy little seedling.. Just going to give her some MYCO Plus (powder) and half a dose of CALiMAGic for this week.. I know she is just a VERY small seedling.. But she is already taking on different structure than other strains I've been growing lately.. And like a darkness to her leaves.. I have a feeling this is gonna be an awesome strain. My first time with a Blue Berry (or Blueberry) strain.. I don't think she is going to disappoint at all!!! So excited! Gonna mainline her to make 6 - 8 colas.. She won't be big at all.. Gonna flip her AS SOON as I have the branches in place which is basically gonna be as low as I can get them so that they have plenty of room to stretch and I like to make sure I leave enough room to be able to tie branches down a little bit more if needed during the stretch.. Anyways.. I'm jumping ahead.. Just gonna do my best to avoid any issues and get to harvest as quickly and safely as possible! And just a FYI.. These bulbs are just those screw in (e26/e27) LEDs... (1) blurple LED with IR and UV.. and (2) 3500K LED.. Keeping them about 6 to 8 inches for seedlings.. 6 inches for vegatative growth and about 3 or 4 inches for flower.. I could probably raise the lights a bit in flower because the leaves tend to get a tad bit burnt by the end of flower that are directly under the 3500K bulbs.. All-in-all.. My wattage meter shows that all 3 bulbs use exactly 20 watts.. So anything over 20 grams, I'm happy with.. But I can't wait to see how this goes! This is reused coco coir/perlite.. I literally. Just harvested the last plant.. Let the medium dry out.. Then pull out the medium and roots.. Was able to get MOST of the roots out.. But there was still plenty.. Hoping that shouldn't hurt anything.. My other current grow seems to be affected by the rotting roots left behind.. They seem to make the runoff acidic as fuck.. I could be wrong.. But from what I did and have done this grow and the last few grows in the past, it has all lead me to believe that it is from roots decaying in the medium.. There is no other explanation.. So heads up people who reuse coco coir.. Make sure you do your best to get as much of the old roots out as possible!.. Anyways.. This is gonna be fun! End of week.. She is growing pretty quickly so far.. in my opinion. The second set of true leaves are coming in.. She seems pretty happy and healthy. On to the next week!...

Beginning of week.. I have only been using 2 bulbs since she spouted.. I had all 3 on in order to help with heat and also humidity (since the medium was wet also). Once she spouted, I pushed her to the back of her home and cut off the front bulb. She is still getting over 200 μmols with just the 2 bulbs.. Wow.. So, I read today that Blueberry (not Blue Berry, which is this strain...) is a very heavy yeilder. Yesssss.. Lol.. Because this strain is crossed with the original Blueberry from DJ Short and a Northern Lights strain.. Kinda wierd to me, but hey.. I just wanna taste some blueberry yum yum!!! 😋 lol.. We shall see.. This shouldn't take too long at all! Gonna top at 2nd or 3rd node.. Also removing the branches below (mainlining) and then topping those branches to create 8 branches (top, colas).. While also maintaining the lollipopping to make sure I only harvest solid colas.. No little nugs.. I'm pretty excited for my first Blue Berry (Blueberry... Whatever lol) strain.. Hoping to harvest AT LEAST 1oz.. Which would be OVER 1 gram/watt on these little bs bulbs lol.. For the 6th run in a row, they have not rested for more than a week in the last 3 - 4 years.. Still growin (goin) strong! Lol... Mid week.. Wow she is already showing some FAT, THICK stems from the leaves.. She looks very sturdy.. Like she could take a punch lol.. I went ahead and fed her yesterday.. Some Armor Si, CALiMAGic, FloraMicro, Floralicious Plus, a dash of the water soluble MYCO Plus and some Hydroguard.. I probably should have just ran some water thru first because I did give her a slight feeding last watering.. But she isn't showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon. Will water with plain water next time. She is growing so fast.. Already working on the 3rd set and you can even see the 4th set starting to sprout.. And the first node is beginning to make little sprouts for the future branches! So excited! Next day.. Man, this girl is growing so fast! Such fat leaves! Such an Indica! They are more rounded than pointed.. Such a pretty seedling lol. She is nice and healthy.. Obviously, with the super fast growth.. So, I left ALOT of roots from the previous grow and I think it may be making the rootzone acidic.. Not sure yet.. Still pretty early in the grow.. But she is happy af! End of week.. This girl is growing so quickly! Such fat leaves! Stems are super thick! Branches are sprouting! This girl is going to be an awesome experice.. I can already tell.. I can't wait to taste some blueberries! The last time I had some actually Blueberry that actually tasted like blueberries was back in the early 2000's.. So I'm really hoping this strain will take me back lol.. On to the next week!...

Beginning of week... Out of the blue.. For no reason at all.. I went ahead and topped her. The branches are already beginning to form.. so I just wanted to speed them up a little 🤷 lol.. I also removed the bottom node (leaves and branches).. They usually just don't grow like the 2nd, 3rd, etc... and the branches were not symmetrical whatsoever lol.. That really grinds my gears (it really bothers the shit outta me lol).. She is left with 3 nodes at the moment.. I will decide which nodes I want to use and go from there.. So I will be going up a tad on the Armor Si.. Up on the CALiMAGic, adding in some FloraGro, amd going up just a tiny bit on the Floralicous Plus to bring it up to the normal dose.. Still using the Hydroguard and the MYCO Plus (powder) at the normal doses.. Other than that, just been watering/feeding when the top of the medium is dry, and when you can clearly feel the weight of the pot (bucket of butter lol) is pretty much weightless.. Basically, I feed on a Monday.. Then just plain pH'd water on Thursday or Friday.. Then back to feeding again on Monday.. This will obviously change once the roots fill the pot (bucket o' margarine) within the next couple weeks or so.. Btw.. Not sure if I mentioned this already.. Dont feel like going back and checking lol.. But I put about 2 - 3 inches of just perlite at the bottom.. Not sure if this helps or does anything lol.. But I've seen other people do it.. Had some extra on hand.. Sure! Why not? I never let this sit in runoff.. Infact, when I water/feed, I place the pot on top of a cup so that she won't be sitting in runoff and so I can collect the runoff as it drips out the bottom.. So far, the runoff pH comes out a little low still.. Going in at 6.2 and the runoff will be like 5.8 or 5.7.. But, I do believe that it has been slowly making its way up.. I should really start buffering and finding a way to remove roots when I harves, so I can keep reusing and avoid issues.. Anyways.. She is happy and healthy.. Topped her and remove the bottom node.. That's all there is to report on so far.. Will be updating mid week and end of week as I usually do.. So excited!!! 😁 Mid week.. So it looks like the bottom 2 branches are triploids! I could be wrong.. But that's what it looks like to me! Can't be mad about that! Lol.. I can tell she is going to be a short thing.. Perfect for this grow box! Not sure what these weird markings are.. But this literally popped up overnight.. Will be keeping an eye on it!.. Hopefully nothing.. But we shall seeee!... End of week... She's doing good.. I removed the very top node that I left.. Lol.. Yeah I can be very indecisive when it comes to that stuff.. Can always just remove one later if I need too.. But yeah.. I've kinda just been tucking the top 2 branches under the bottom 2 branches so that the bottom 2 can get some good lighting too.. So I try to switch once a day or sometimes twice a day.. Once the tops grow a bit more they should all be able to get their own light without the tucking and whatnot.. But still just been feeding toward the beginning of the week and just plain pH'd water toward mid/end of the week.. The runoff pH is a little acidic.. But it doesn't seem to be hurting anything so far.. The roots have made it to the bottom of the pot.. They did a long time ago, but have really filled the pot alot already.. But I've pushed plants alot longer in much smaller (veg for 6 weeks in a 9oz solo cup).. Her branches are so thick and sturdy! She is gonna be so strong!.. I really need to make sure I don't LST too late cuz it's gonna be hard to bend these tree trunk branches.. But I'm playing with her at least twice a day, so I doubt I will miss the opportunity lol.. But I can't wait to taste some Blue Berry!!! On to the next week!...

Beginning of week... Just been watering/feeding when dry.. Which is 2x a week.. Bending the branches a couple times a day and letting her do her thing, for the most part.. Removing some leaves here and there.. Not many.. Maybe 6 since the topping.. But she is trucking along! Mid week.. Weird, my camera missed the flash on the first pic.. Since the first update this week, just 1 feeding.. Tomorrow I will give her just plain pH'd water with some Hydroguard and call it a week.. Still just bending branches a couple times a day.. Still not 100% sure how I want to go about this lol... End of week.. Just been bending branches as much as possible.. Watering/feeding when dry. Such FAT INDICA LEAVES! Such a gorgeous plant! On to the next week!...

Beginning of week.. So I ran out of FloraGro.. I do have another bottle. I just haven't opened it yet.. But ai think the Kushie Kush should do just fine.. It has a tad of Nitrogen.. Kinda the same percentages as FloraGro actually lol.. Word.. But yeah she is happy and doing great! Super fat indica leaves.. Damnnear round.. Not pointed at the ends lol. I love it! Next day... So today the nodes were finally big enough to fit some scissors in there to top the 2 branches.. I have also removed the nodes entirely that would be growing up and/or down.. All together, there will be 8 tops.. Just going to keep tying down and training the branches to be able to fill the entire suitcase with nothing but top fan leaves and colas receiving the "almost perfect" amount of light!!!.. Anywhere from about 600 - 900 μmols.. Perfecto! These little bulbs can do some AwEsOmE things when you use a few next to eachother and keep the light super close to the plant.. But not touching.. Just like 2 - 3 inches to get maximum μmols. But they can also burn plants.. But only at like 1 inch or touching the actual diode.. But yeah.. Just keep following and watch what these little things can do at a total of 20 watts being used amongst all 3 bulbs.. Noice! Mid week.. Just been tucking leaves and bending branches! She is definitely drinking more.. I notice she dries her medium out a day sooner.. She is doing great to be receiving bloom booster nutrients instead of grow nutrients. Very happy and healthy! Oh yeah.. I cloned one of the triploid branches.. So far, no roots are poking out of the jiffy pellet.. It's only been 7 days.. But you can tell that the roots are about to be exploding out by next week for sure.. When you give her a little tug, you can feel she is very secured in there! End of week.. I noticed that the new branches are starting to show purple/black stripes!.. Whaaat?! Lol.. Doesn't seem to be an issue.. Due to everything else being on point.. I guess it is just genetics! Almost seems like the end product will look just like the website pics! Which is weird because I know for a fact that I have seen the same pic used on ILGM website for their Blackberry Kush and even another breeder used the same pic for some other strain.. Just makes it difficult to trust breeders to show their actual product.. Anyhoo.. This girl is growing just as she should.. Even with the abuse she is pushing right thru all of it.. I did remove the bottom node on the older branches.. Just too much going on down there and they were in the way.. And gonna be removed later anyway.. Also I want to kinda stress these branches out a little so that the second set of branches have a little bit of a chance to catch up.. It's worked before.. Other than that, I've just been bending branches a couple times a day by hand and watering/feeding when dry.. At this point, I think I may only need about 1 more week (MAYBE 2) of veg to let these other branches mature a little and bend them down some.. Then flip to flower pretty quick to avoid too much stretching in this little nano grow box I'm using.. On to the next week!...

Beginning of week.. Just bending, watering and adoring this little lady! This week I should be getting these branches tied down a bit.. We will see how it goes! Just going to go up a little on the Armor Si.. I need her to have some muscles when its time for bending! She is already so strong and branches are super thick. I can't wait to flip her to flower and see what she does! She is already showing some preflower also! Just a few immature calyces.. No pistils just yet. Next day.. Ok so it seems the stripes are more purplish/redish.. Still pretty tho.. It SHOULDN'T be a deficiency.. As far as I can tell, everything else is on point.. If ANYTHING.. the runoff pH is coming out at 5.8 - 5.9.. I did NOT rinse or buffer this reused coco coir.. Live and learn.. Hopefully the medium will hold out on fuckin up till harvest.. Going thru the same bullshit right now with an ETHOS strain in a 5 gal pot with reused, unrinsed, and unbuffered coco coir.. One has seemed to clear up.. The other has runoff coming out at 4.9 now.. Yikes.. But it should make it to harvest.. This one I'm sure will too.. Just gotta keep a close eye on the runoff.. Mid week.. So the last couple weeks, she has been drinking alot more.. Have to water every 2 - 3 days now! From 2 times a week to about 4 times a week.. Almost overnight!.. I also went ahead and removed 1 node from all the branches.. Just getting way too crowded with leaves in there lol.. But I need to go ahead and tie these branches down.. Just makes it a little difficult to water having all those lines.. But they are very much worth it! If I let her go for too long, this whole idea could be ruined! Yeah, I'm gonna get to tying them down tonight or tomorrow! Oh yeah! I cut a clone from her and it has rooted nicely.. But now I have no where to put her lol.. Damnit this always happens.. I'll figure it out! Next day... Went ahead and tied the branches down finally.. They are starting to get some length to the branches now, phew.. It was gonna be difficult if she stayed as short, stout and sturdy as she was earlier lol.. Should be flipping to 12/12 soon.. Not sure when exactly.. But within 2 weeks for sure! Gorgeous lady! Can't wait to see the flowers this girl makes!!! 😁😁😁 End of week.. She has recovered from the LST and all tops are pointed back up.. She is happy and healthy as can be! Her clone is doing good too.. Not sure where I can put her, so I put her in a small cup with some cheap soil.. Just wanting to keep her alive for now.. Outside.. Getting acclimated to the hot, hot sun.. Keeping a little light on her at night to keep her in veg.. I believe it may be the time of year when they begin to transition to flower!! Anyways.. On to tgehe next week!...

Beginning of week.. Just waiting for the branches to get a liiiiittle bit longer and I can get them tied down where I really need them to go.. She's been drinking alot more lately.. Watering/feeding every 2 - 3 days now.. She is a little beast! Lol.. So far, I've only been using Armor Si, CALiMAGic, FloraMicro, Kushie Kush (bloom booster), that MYCO Plus (powder), Floralicious Plus and Hydroguard.. I have not used ANY FloraGro whatsoever.. And no issues.. Kinda cool how they can survive on a Micro + Bloom nutes.. I guess the FloraMicro has plenty of Nitrogen for these ladies.. That's good to know lol.. I'm sure there may be otger strains and/or phenotypes that would need it, but so far she is doing great! Awesome little plant.. Cool looking stripes on the branches.. Which I would believe to be genetics because she is not deficient anywhere else.. So hopefully that means the flowers will come out colorful! Either way, I just want to taste the same blueberry flavored bud I had one time back in highschool.. It was literally like eating actual blueberries! And the taste lasted in your mouth for a good while too.. Just keeping my fingers crossed for now.. And gonna keep her happy and healthy.. 😊 Mid week.. She is doing great.. Just been watering/feeding every 2 or 3 days.. She is happy.. Which makes me happy lol.. The runoff has been a little on the low end of the pH scale.. Going in a 6.2 - 6.3 and the runoff will be 5.6 - 5.8.. This is unbuffered, reused (3 or 4 times) coco coir/perlite.. Not making this mistake again.. Rinse, buffer (2×) and rinse down to a good TDS and only then, it is usable... But she is healthy.. Yay! Just need a little more branches to be able to tie them down a little bit further up and get the branches positioned where I need them to be.. Still keeping them low, THEN flip to flower.. So excited!!! Next day.. I went ahead and lollipopped (Removed 2 - 3 nodes on each branch) and LST'd her a bit more to bring the branches where they are gonna permanently be.. I also left 1 branch from each. Inner branch.. So there should be an extra 4 colas.. I just need them to stretch enough to get some good lighting and not be covered by the other main branches.. Branches were pretty easy to bend.. Didn't even water before, the medium was pretty dry.. But she took it with no issues whatsoever.. She is still happy and healthy.. Showing preflower (calyces, no pistils yet tho) End of week.. Ok.. Gonna flip her to flower tomo night (Monday night).. She only has about 2 - 3 nodes on each branch, but the flower stretch will take care of all that easily!... On to the next!...

Beginning of week... Flipping to flower tonight! She looks pretty pathetic but she will stretch into her home and should fit percectly! Not going to change the nutes just yet.. I may even just keep using Kushie Kush bloom booster till the flush instead of using any FloraBloom.. But we will see.. That's kinda what I wanna try to do as long as she doesn't stress over it! She is doing ok.. Starting to see some weird coloring on the tips of the leaves.. Not sure what it could be.. Nute burn.. Light burn.. Deficient somewhere.. I will get to the bottom of it for sure tho.. Excited to see what this lady does!! The 2nd half of the journey begins!!! Lol Mid week.. Ok so I went down a bit on the nutes.. FloraMicro down to 0.50mL/L and Kushie Kush down to 0.75mL/L.. And instead of 7 drop of Floralicious Plus I'm giving 5 drops/L lol.. With this run I want to see if Silica in flower is a problem or not.. I've always just stopped giving Silica during flower because it sounds like the calyxes would contain this silicate also??? Idk.. But this will be my first run using Silica in flower.. Quite a bit too.. I usually only use the minimum dose of 0.25mL/L.. So far I've been giving her 0.50mL/L and I think I may try to see if I can get to the maximum dose of 1mL/L to make sure she really gets it in there lol.. Or at least 0.75mL/L. Hell idk.. I could change my mind and cut it out completely by next week 😂😂😂 but at this point, my plan is to give her a good dose and see if the end product has any obvious differences. I also adjusted the branches a little.. Not to bring them down.. But to open them up a bit more.. No pics on that yet.. it's already bed time for the lovely lady. But I will update by the end of the week... So far, just adjusted the branches a little, brought down the nutes a little and still just watering, feeding, watering, feeding, etc. every 2 to 3 days.. I always keep track of runoff, and with this being reused, but unbuffered, coco coir, the runoff pH has been a little low.. Still in the decent range.. But if does what my other girls are doing, the runoff pH could start to drop and its impossible to fix without running into some deficiency issues and pH fluctuation issues.. So far.. As of today.. Going in: 6.2 pH - 850 PPM... Runoff: 5.7 pH - 800 PPM.. Again, that's not out of the range... YET.. but it has already been slowly dropping.. Ugh.. Fuck.. It's been dropping 0.1 every week or so.. Take it from my fuck ups!!! Rinse and buffer your coco coir! And rinse and buffer you REUSED coco coir!!! It is worth the little amount of work.. Rinse SOME of the dust out, and buffer with a full dose of Cal-Mag.. Or is it 750%? Ah shit, I can't remember, it's been so long 😂😂😂 anyways.. She is showing preflower.. I think I have found 1 tiny pistil so far.. So tiny I couldn't even find it again lol.. Its just cuz the plant is so tiny.. They will be there.. Just watch! 😂😭🙅‍♀️ End of week.. Just as I suspected.. Many tiny pistils! Lol mostly just at the top first 2 or 3 nodes of each branch.. But pistils none the less! She slightly beginning to stretch, also! So excited!!! On to the next week!!!...

Beginning of week.. She is beginning to stretch!.. Little pistils everywhere! So excited to begin flower!!! I'm going to keep the nutes about the same.. I've always been a heavy feeder.. My Flora Series QT sized bottles have lasted me up until this year.. So about 3 almost 4 years! Wow.. I can make them last even longer if I stop trying to make my plants overdose lol.. Anyways.. Yeah.. Gonna keep the nutes the same for this week.. Will see how she reacts to all the current changes going on in her life right now.. But she is happy and healthy.. Growing nice and quickly still.. Awesome! Mid week.. She's doing great! Seems to be pleased with me going down a little on the nutes.. Noice! Pistils and calyxes have gotten a bit bigger now.. So I got a pic of them finally lol. Just been doing feed, water, feed, water, etc.. I always like to test my runoff.. And the runoff pH is starting to get closer to matching the pH going in.. Still a little low.. But I fucked something up somewhere obviously lol.. Whether it's from not removing enough roots out of the medium from the previous grow.. Or from not rinsing and buffering before starting this grow.. Ugh.. Not making either of those mistakes again.. EVER! End of week.. Wow this week flew by.. She is stretching like a beast! Gonna need to redo the branch ties and maybe raise the lights an inch or two.. On to the next week!!!...

Beginning of week.. Going to adjust the branches a little.. They are getting pretty close to the light.. All that stretching in like 3 days. I hope she slows down SOON! Like.. NOW lol Next day.. Went ahead and defoliated.. Removed 2 nodes from each branch.. Should be nothing but nice dense colas! And the 2 little stragglers I left to grow in hopes thay they would stretch a bit more to be even with the canopy.. But that didnt happen.. They both should be getting decent PAR.. But I'm gonna go ahead and leave them for now.. Mid week.. Just been watering every 2 - 3 days still. This week I no longer am using the MYCO+ powder.. Going up on the Armor Si a tad and also gonna start adding in the FloraNectar FruitNFusion.. Just molasses pretty much, although I dont use it in veg since it's already in the MYCO+.. Anyways.. Just watering/feeding till harvest at this point! Not able to reach any trichomes to rub and get a hint of the terpene profile just yet lol.. Just keeping my fingers crossed that I got a blueberry scented and flavored phenotype.. Or at least a sweet pheno.. Should be able to reach some possibly by the end of this week! They're forming.. Just cant reach them without destroying the plant lol anyways.. Im rabbling lol.

Beginning of week.. Whoops.. Forgot to get some pics for the end of last week.. Trichomes have finally started.. They smell nice.. Not so much like blueberries.. But dankness is there.. We shall see what happens! Just a quick update in between... She is stacking FAST!!! Pistils everywhere.. Like alot lol.. I can tell she is gonna make some fat colas.. I can't wait! Mid week.. I know its a week late in flower to be defoliating any.. But it was a spur of the moment thing lol.. They say this can help alot when it comes to Indicas and their fat leaves blocking the lower bud sites being removed and letting much more light thru to them.. I even removed one more node from each branch.. The runoff pH is starting to even out.. Slowly.. But it's getting there. Yesterday I watered with a pH of 6.4 and it came out 6.1.. So hopefully I can get it to 6.2 going in and out.. Anyways.. Now we just wait for the buds to finish growing and fatten up! Trichomes are eVeRyWhErE! Lol.. Love this shit! Oh yeah.. I also raised the lights about 1 more inch.. It's all I can fit.. For being a smaller sized plant, she sure did stretch more than my last 2 or 3 grows in this ghetto grow box lol.. But its all good. She has stopped stretching and I got the bulbs about 3 - 4 inches from the canopy.. It may still burn a couple leaves, but the rest of the plant (for the most part) is getting about 600 - 800 PAR from these little bs bulbs.. I doubt I could ever harvest more than an oz in here, but an oz isn't that bad! Lol.. Its all personal anyways.. Its nice to have a little oz of bud for in between grows.. To have another strain to hit up if youre a little tired of the others you got.. Lol.. My growmie even just hooked me up with a little AeroGarden hydro kit that fits in this grow box perfectly! I may try it out and see how it goes.. But yeah.. Blue Berry is doing great.. Super happy.. Beyond healthy.. Niceeee...

Beginning of week.. Just been keeping everything steady.. I may go up just a tad on the Armor Si (Silica).. I've never tried using Silica in flower, just trying to see if it does anything undesirable.. But other than that.. Just been keeping everything the same.. Watering/feeding every 2 or 3 days.. Water, feed, water, feed, etc... So far, it seems like the pH of the runoff is beginning to stabilize a bit.. Still not where I would like it.. But it will do.. And hopefully slowly keep drifting toward the way I need it to.. But so far everythinf is awesome with this girl! Not smelling blueberries.. But still giving off some nice dank aromas.. Maybe it will pop up later.. Either way, I am happy with the way this girl is growing! Mid week.. Seeing some light burn on the leaves directly under the 3500K bulbs.. I've been trying to tuck the leaves that so close.. But meh.. Should be fine.. If anything, I'll just have to removed those leaves.. Its only like 3 maybe 4.. Only 1 is really bad (the pic).. I should also try to raise the lights another inch or 2.. Blah! Lol

Beginning of week.. Some pistils are already beginning to turn!.. She still needs to fatten up a bit.. But this would be the last week of feeding if I'd like to do a 2 week minimum flush.. So yeah, going down a bit on damnnear everything.. Except the Hydroguard.. Which probably isn't even doing anything too important at this point.. Anyways.. She is pretty frosty.. Not smelling any blueberries.. But she still smells nice and DANK! She is gonna make a great few tasty joints! Been slipping up on harvesting timing lately.. Took an auto about 3 or 4 weeks longer than I should have.. I think I may have harvested 2 ETHOS strain a bit too late.. I didnt think 1 week could make THAT much of a difference.. Meh.. Just excited to see how she turns out! I think I'm going to start only watering right before lights out using ONLY CoLd refrigerated rainwater (and finish up this week with the light nutes.. But still with cold water at night to help bring out any colors she may want to produce! 🤞🤞🤞 Also can't wait to see if using Silica (ArmorSi) in flower makes any difference(s).. I guess I always felt like the flower would come out like plastic or the little silica beads or some shit lol.. Guess we shall see! Would be nice to use silica in flower to help combat with heat stress and other issues I usually come across in my grows.. Mid week.. She's got some pretty bad light burn in one general area.. One leaf is really bad.. I kinda want to leave it to watch and document a little on how it fast it progresses and what it takes to finally kill off the leaf... I know it isn't photosynthesising once it loses its greenness.. But still just want to leaf it, for now.. Lolol 😆

Beginning of week... She is doing pretty good.. Besides the light burn.. Pistils are turning.. This makes week 7 of flower (from 12/12).. I'm thinking I may need to flush for 3 weeks.. Unless I feed slightly for another week.. Ugh.. Decisions, decisions... Mid week.. Yeah, I'm just gonna keep flushing.. If I need to, I'll flush one more week.. So far, the pistils have turned for the most part.. Havent receded much.. And the trichomes are looking pretty milky/cloudy.. With still a little clear.. Mostly milky/cloudy.. Not seeing any amber hardly.. Then again, I waited for a bit of amber my last grow and hardly get a buzz from it.. So idk.. Still learning alot everyday. End of week.. Finally didnt miss the end of week update lol.. She is happy.. Showing some purple/red on the leaves.. I honestly havent used any FloraKleen at all.. Havent pH'd. Just plain ol' 75% rainwater and 25% Brita filtered tap water.. This TDS of the mix is ~100 PPM.. Runoff coming out just as it goes in.. But havent been keeping track of pH this week at all.. I've also only been watering with refrigerated water.. About 45°F and I water 5 - 10 mins before lights out.. And I make sure there is alot of runoff so the cold gets in the medium good and deep.. And that is how I've been getting these reds and purples to come out.. Temps are a little difficult to bring down so this is how I help these ladies bring out their colors.. Works pretty well, I'd say! Anyways.. One more week of flushing is the plan.. May need an extra week if I feel she isn't quite ready yet.. But it seems like 1 more week should be perfect!.. The colas aren't as fat as ai hoped.. But should still get an OK yeild on this girlie.. Smells nice and dank!... On to the next week!!!...

Beginning of week.. Just watering every other day with cold, refrigerated, un-pH'd water. Mix of rain and tap water.. The medium was flushed pretty good last week.. Nothing but smooth sailin from here! Mid week.. She is fadin.. Watered today.. One more watering probably the day before harvesting.. Want her to be good and moist!.... Damn.. that sounded kinda hot lol.. Temps have not been going over 80F.. Perfect! 45% - 50% RH.. Good enough.. They are that fat.. Im sure the light burnage may have had something to do with that.. Still smells nice! Almost there!!! Almost end of week... I went ahead and removed 2 nodes worth of fan leaves from each branch.. The lower nugs could use some light.. I think I'm going to let her go just 3 - 5 days longer than I anticipated.. I see ALOT of milky trichomes.. Which is what I want.. The bottom nugs could use a little more tho.. This is why I want to wait just a little longer.. And go ahead and do the 48 hour of darkness.. Maybe it helps.. Maybe not.. Gonna give it a shot, again! Flushed her again with 1L of plain un-pH'd Brita filtered tap water.. Runoff still coming out around 100 PPM.. Good enough.. Lights are burning the shit outta these tops.. Kinda wish I had figured out a way to raise and lower these fuckers lol.. But still not bad results with 20W of ghettofied LEDs.. (1) blurple with IR and UV and (2) 3500K bulbs.. PAR meter shows they get more than enough.. And so does this plant lol.. Small footprint, yeah.. But still can get roughly an oz (28g) of some dank! Noice!... End of week.. Ok so this is going to be a little stretched out.. I let her go like 2 more days with the lights on and then began the 48+ hour of darkness.. Watered her REALLY good right before the lights went out for the last time.. I want to try a little longer than 48 hours.. Just to see how it goes.. Maybe just 3 days... Maybe terps get even better! Lol well.. Bout to find out!.. Next update will be the harvest! 48 hours of darkness... Gonna let her go one more 24 hours of darkness.. Just cuz.. No other reason lol.. She is smelling nice! I think she may be a little burned from the lights lol.. (a LiTtLe?!?) Yeah.. But thats just the very tops.. Shit happens, bLaH!

Doesn't smell or taste like blueberries.. but still a decent smoke... it does taste like some good bud.. grew with no issues.. been curing for 4 weeks and it was actually tasting ready by week 2! Could be a bit stronger.. could taste like blueberries.. but I'm happy
