Blueberry Headband!! 5 of 5 germinated in a glass of distilled water, on a heating mat. Moving them to solo cups of homemade seed starting soil. Setting them in my extra tent while I wait for my autopot system to open up in 3 weeks.
All 5 above ground. In solo cups in my spare tent ,while my full tent grow finishes up. Homemade seed starting mix. 40 percent peat miss, 40 percent pearlite and 20 percent manure. Will transplant to 5 gallon pots on the autopot watering system as soon as it opens up in a few weeks. I may have to up-pot once before then. We shall see. I'm ready for that HEADBAND high.
4 of 5 plants are doing excellent. Plant 5 is straggling. I'm not counting her out yet, maybe she just got a little dryer than the other 4. I'll nurse her back to health and hopefully she can catch back up. I was really looking to put 5 plants in my 4x4 tent as soon as my current grow is done.
All 5 are doing well, the one that was not looking so good last week pulled through. Set the lights at exactly 200 ppfd. Been watering once every three days or when completely dry.
Forgive the plants appearance. My wife went into labor and I spent 3 days in the hospital away from my tent. All I could think to do was turn the autopot bottom watering system on. But the plants had just been transplanted a day before so I knew the roots couldn't get to the water yet. After 2 days of struggling they made it. So I got a few yellow leaves and some no water and heat stress, but WE MADE IT. I topped them at the 3rd node. Then transplanted them up to 5 gallon bags on the autopot system from their solo cups. Organic soil mix is homemade. A base of pearlite, peat, and composted cow manure. All the dry ingredients listed, mixed together and added to the bottom half of the soil in the pot at a rate of 2TBS per gallon. Since it's a 5 gallon pot, there are 2.5 gallons of soil in the bottom half. 2.5 gallons x 2 TBS of homemade amendment mix = 5 TBS of mix into the 2.5 gallons in the bottom half of the pots soil. Mixed really good. Then Topped with plain homemade soil with no dry amendments on the top half where I plant my seed. Before I plant my seed, I water the entire pot almost to runoff. Don't want to lose all the goodies I added. I plant my seed, and cover with a clear solo cup as a humidity dome. Now it's water only from seed to harvest. And organic water only flower taste sooooo smooth. LET THE FUN BEGIN.
Plants are rebounding nicely. They were topped at node 3. Again at node 5. Looks like I have about 8 tops each. Trying my best to keep the tops even in height. Keeping plants defoliated for maximum light exposure. I'm thinking I'll let them rebound from their second topping and top once more before filling them out and starting to think about flipping them to flower in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for taking a look at my organic, water only, homemade super soil grow.
I came home today and had to turn on my carbon filter. My entire 2 story farm house snelled like a skunk took a shit on a field of wild flowers. Topped for the last time. Now it's time to let them go crazy untill the lights get flipped in a few weeks. Back left plant is healthy, just not as tall as the other 3. Hopefully itll catch up. I will defoliate HARD the day before I flip the lights to 12 hrs.
Waited for the reservoir to run empty, pulled the plants out and defoliated HARD! anything below half way up came off. Even some of the foliage above that. Now I'll get some nice light penetration. I flipped my lights to 12/12 to start flowering. And filled up my 15 gallon reservoir with fresh well water. I will slowly start lowering my lights every few days untill I hit about 12" or 900-1000 ppfd. They are really starting to stink.
Growing right along. I've got the carbon filter working overtime because these ladies STINK. as soon as the reservoir is empty I'll be pulling them out of the tent for a super heavy final defoliation. Top colas seem to be combining for some HUGE nugs. They are drinking an insane amount of water every day. My 15 gallon reservoir lasts maybe 3 days. Can't wait to try some blueberry headband when they are done.
Chugging right along. Probably have about a month left, judging by the nugs. I hope they swell like crazy. I'm pretty sure they have slightly slowed down consuming water.cant wait to try some blueberry headband.
Growing good. But I can not stand a strain that foxtails, to me it's just ugly. And these are deffently starting to foxtail. But otherwise it's a gorgeous plant. Hopefully the smoke quality will make up for it. It won't be much longer untill chop day. Thanks for checking out my grow .
Sorry guys. I broke my Femur pretty nasty right at the end of this grow. 3 plates and 27 screws. I was not able to get up the flight of stairs to my tent to harvest. So my plants sat in a sealed tent for 6 months untill today, when I harvested them. No bud rot, no bugs, no mold. Just VERY dry blueberry headband that smells INCREDIBLE.
Broke femur pretty nasty. 3 plates and 27 screws. Could not harvest at optimal time. Plants dried and cured on the stalk, in the soil, in the tent, for 6 months! When I could finally walk up stairs again, I was impressed with the blueberry headband smell.
They look big enough to be transplanted right now. How come you dont start them off in their forever homes? Im about to cut my blueberry headband right now.
@GregGrowsBlue, they are big enough. I was waiting for my veg tent to open up. These were just off to the side in my dry tent so I could get a headstart on my next run. Yes, I could have started them in 5 gallon bags but the dry tent doesn't fit very many 5 gallon pots. So it works better for me to start them in solo cups and repot them when they go into the veg tent. I just got done potting them tonight.Thanks for taking a look at my grow.
