Branches are starting shoot off now and the roots are looking good. It's now 7" tall Now 8" tall with perfect node spacing...roots have taken off. Day 35 I'm changing lighting hours to 12/12 today as this baby ready to rock. I changed the water tank today and keeping it veg food that should last 10-12 days for when i should see a flower coming on by then

This is doing great for a freebie seed...I stuck this blueberry og on the end of table as one of the tangilope didnt grow enough to warrant putting in flowering. I took some clones to mother up. She now stands 25" tall @49 days from seed and the flower is coming on nicely

She has reached the net this week and grown another 4 to 5 inches. The flower is coming on nicely...I have well under estimated how big they would all get as the tangilope are huge. 48 days from seed 22/10/18 Excuse my pics more as it getting harder to take them now everything has grown. Top tip....don't drop ya phone in the tank of water when taking root pictures

The flower is looking even better this week as you'd expect :-) She levelled out at 34" i dont think shell get any taller. Got a bit of leaf curl on the tips but i am pushing it with the food level. I'm flashing 1.3 ec and ph is around 5.8. Could be a the heat from the light? The tangilope on the same tray looks like it can cope with this strenght feed. Have a nice thick white root matt although slightly stained because Part A feed of canna is red. Added PK13-14 This week as it 5th week of flowering plus I've put a fish tank heater in to keep water around 18-20C as water temp is bitterly cold

Can't wait for this one she smells beautiful. Not much I can say other than she doing well. Only topped up tank this week as the tangilope on the same table needed the pk to stay in with a little top up as not to over fertilize other wise she would just have a normal A+B feed this week

7th week of flowering and this will be last feed then a two week flush and she should be ripe :-) Struggling to get the humidity down in this tent as the plants are to big and I bought myself a humidifier and still struggling to get it down in their night time. It don't help having so much water in there with 3 tanks. I've added some canna boost accelerator today. Tank is 50ltrs as i haven't mentioned it yet

Looking good. Now flushing with clean water. The night time humidity is at around 60%, I'm trying to keep a good air flow but everything is massive in this tent causing high humidity. I'm shitting it as I've found bud rot in one tangilope phenos which is finishing quicker than the rest..I'll give this blueberry a week flush and chop it out as well as the 1 tangilope next to it that is almost finished

Happy Harvest Day!

This turned into a beautiful looking plant...good choice of the free seed you get....she stacked really well....unfortunately I got got a bit of bud rot in the main cola but this purely because my humdity was high. I only had the one plant of this and it was being overgrown by the tangilope next to it so the air movement around the plant was shit. How ever the rest of the plant is okay and absolutely stinks. Don't think the yeild will be great as i said it was covered by other plants. I have kept a clone for a mother of this so will devote a whole table to it when I have the space. I look forward to the smoke as im loving the smell .

@@@hydrohippy, bro as long as they are not microscopic insects they become feed or you can pick them up that's whats the biggest bother about mites "snap crackle and pop" 😪

@CRiSPrGrow,I've heard about they work too but apparently you end up with dead ladybugs after a while....it was to late for me, the bastards took over so cleared out and started fresh

Hope you don't mind me dropping a follow and sticking around to see the harvest 😎 Shes looking healthy so far!

@HighTV, the 4" rockwool block holds them until such size then I'll put a net across. If some plants are bigger than others and they don't reach the net I use plant yoyo's :-)

@HighTV, cheers bud.... she is growing at a good rate and so is everything else. im looking forward to end product. NFT is such a good way of growing. its clean, no fuss, easy and very fast, the only outlay is rookwool every crop. none of that lugging soil bags in and out busting ya balls lol
