The Blue Room

OK, it's the first week of the Blue Room. There's not much to see so I will start with the medium and roots. Will be using pro mix bx general purpose. They claim starter nutes are added so for the first 10 days it will be plain water.Now the roots, will be using a/n voodoo and a free sample of regen. I also have alpha nutrients beta balls and fulvic acid to addd to the mix. So pull up a seat and watch the show.

on day 7 gave 10ml of water about an hour after lights on. day 8 gave 15ml of water On day 10 gave ,5 ml of A/B ,5 ml of voodoo and a whole pot soaking. The ladies seemed to like their first feeding Guys you have to have some patience with me, this is the first full journal I've done im still learning how to upload stuff, As you can see it looks like a issue is cropping up on one of the leaves

here we are days 14-21 during this period I've had one stem break and in the photo you can see that the issue in week 2 has advanced, The lessons I've learned growing in soil is that changes take time and sometimes issues mimicke other problems so no knee jerk reactions. I've been using rain water up to this point and while it has a low ec its also low in minerals that can be beneficial to the plants so today its back to tap water that i bubble for 24 hrs to remove the chlorine. I've also added cal mag to the mix. on day 18 i added a box store soil acidifier to bring the ph down some its been kinda high 6,7-6,9 and ph my feeds down to 5,8 dont know what pro mix adds as a buffer but its strong in this batch, normally i will add aluminium sulfate or a soil acidifier at the rate of one to two tablespoons per gallon of medium its served me well with fast buds genetics but on this grow i didnt add it optic foliar has been added to the line up to help.On day 21 the invasion has started, Ihad a couple of photos hanging around that had been in and outdoors they've brought the borg into the room 'spider mites' gentlemen we have a battle on hand.Will be getting reinforcements soon.As for the girl with the broken stem she seems to be o the mend

have upped the nutes to 1,25 of base 1 ml of cal mag and 2 ml of regen got a miticide and have sprayed the leaves about a hour before lights out and so far the infestation looks small, we are on days 21-28 and looking very good ive left out that ive been adding fulvic acid at the rate of 1 mg per gallon this is the first time ive used this product also started training on day 20 or so . I grew the lsd 25 and didnt train them and they grew into the lights not going to make that mistake with these i wouldnt be able to grt into the room, forgot also that diatamceous earth has been applied

here we are at days 28-35.day 29 I've changed out the 600 for the 1000 mh bulbs and added a exhaust fan to increase air circulation in the room.My ph is still running high definitely regretting not adding the soil acidifier. the stretch is about to start,The nutes are at 1.5 of base a/b and still at 1 mg on the cal mag 2 ml of regen 2ml of fulvic acid,feeds have been sround a half gallon starting to also show signs of bloom day 33 gave the above nutes and have upped the water to 3 qts, At this point i can tell that these are going to be smaller than the lsd strain i grew,don't get me wrong Im hoping for a decent fall harvest.

Another week has passed here at the blue room and the stretch has started!!!!! The gals have turned into lushes,drinking almost a gallon a day. The growth has exploded. I've also discovered the spider mites are back so a little unsure how to deal with them now that the flower stage has started day 38 1 gallon with 1,5 ml of bloom base a/b 1 ml of cal mag 1,5 big bud 1/2 tablespoon of molasses

Here we are on week 7during this week have defoliated and added a layer of coco to the top . the ph has been stubbornly high, The plants are showing signs of a phosphorous lockout due to this or over watering. Have taken the advice i was given and been spraying the leaves with ph'ed water to wash the borg "spider mites" off and it does seem to slow them down I've also increased the air flow in the room to nake their lives as miserable as possible .I've changed the watering from everyday to every other day base nutes are at 1.5 big bud 1.5 terpinator 3 ml fulvic acid temps are at 82 and humidity around 59 Overall at this point I'm very satisfied with the growth this srain shows. The smell is definitely citrus with a harder to describe almost creamy note.If no training was used these would be about 30 inches right now, From my past experience with fast buds genetics cant wait for the final outcome. American made!!!!

Week 8 I never planned on doing a diary on This grow and did this for my own records to be able to see what works and be able to reference so the photos are under sodium lights . Feeds are every other day 1 gal. Have had light deficiency but have never grown a auto that hasn't
