Hi and welcome to my grow.
Thank you.
Please allow me to introduce :
Cuckoo Punch (Barney's Farm Cookies Peyote) &
Bobbi Bud (Barney's Farm Blueberry OG).
Seeds placed into two cotton pads with ph balanced water. Stored in a dark, warm aired cupboard.
Week 2 : some big changes, new setup arriving in bits and pieces, lets hope all arrives smoothly.
pH of solution in rockwool bowl - 6.2
No light was added until green began appearing from leaves, and then seedlings were introduced to sunlight for small periods in the day.
Planting into the setup will happen this week.
Lights running 24hours when they are ready.
This week will be a fully operating setup with some light nutrients added. Water pump runs for one hour a day 15:00 - 16:00 , this will change in coming weeks.
Light are running 18 hours on, 6 hours off.
Some heavy leaf development early in this stage. Doubling in size. Height we need to watch as they aren't stretching as much as I'd like but that could be due to developments on the root structure.
Extract will be added Day 22 - PM to help with that development, this will be a light dose, increasing towards harvest. 80ml in the 80l solution.
Lights are lowered by 10 cm, to add a concentrated amount, while allowing her plenty space to stretch.
Day 27 posed a new challenge, Leaf development was twisted/crinkled and dark, researched into this and it may be the pH , or nutrients too early, so fan lowered and pH increased by 0.5-1.0.
Day 29 - Cuckoo was showing poor signs of pH illness, so raised the pH from 5.5 - 6.0
Day 30 - Examination of manifolding
Day 31 - Water and nutrients added - pumps 12hours to circulate.
Day 32 Late PM - Manifolded, felt she was tall enough, examined the joins and found Blueberry OG had incredible structure on the 2nd node, so cut from developing 7th node to the 2nd. Peyote Cookies topped from 6th node to 3rd as standard.
Day 36 - BB OG 2nd part of Nebula and topped againl
Day 36 - Bending of both U-Bends has begun.
Day 36 - New pH tool and solution temperature meter.
Day 37 - Bobbi Last extreme trim until Harvest. Light fan leave trimming long the way.
Day 40 - Cuckoo Punch got her second topping in the Nebula Technique. Bobbi good.
Day 41 - New Nutrients and Tub clean out, still water, Changed fan positioning, lifted LED 's slightly. New holes drilled into top and bottom of 15l rectangles.
Day 43 - Tub cleaned and new water pH 5.3.
Day 44 - No nutrients yet, LST introduced to Bobbi, will start flattening her.
Day 45 - Both plants look to be healthier, and will nutrients this evening.
Day 45 - Noticed a crack in the stem of CP. Traced to Day 42/43.
Day 47 Humidifier was added and instant result with humidity at 70%
Day 48 - Saw rapid growth from trimming and nutrient change.
Day 49 - Bobbi readjusted LST, & Trimmed leaves CP introduced to LST.
Day 50 : Plants look a bit stressed. Last week of vegetation depending on how they recover.
Day 51 : Saw tightening of LST and inspection.
Day 52 : pH will be lowered as its currently 6.3, Lowered to 5.3.
Day 53 : pH lowered to 6, ppm is around 850. Lowered Lights by 5 cm and Tightened Bobbi's LST, and trimmed a few lower leaves, CP got trimmed as well. LED Bloom switch added, so VEG LED Switch : ON , BLOOM LED Switch : ON (Transition period, followed by 72 hours of dark, then BLOOM LED Switch : ON , VEG : OFF. 12 hours cycle.
Day 56 - LST adjustments, trimmings, blooming nutz and LED Bloom on.
Nebula Technique , and I have created the 8 kola's and began spreading the branches via LST. Should I cut off new stems branching from 8 kola's, which add to the canopy ? and keep just 8 main stems which buds can form? or side branches which receive good light and canopy cut?
I would keep those new stems since they'll be buds spots soon. But be careful to adjust your LST everyday in order to get a better light penetration. Good luck with these future monsters!
Day 57 - Black out. Bloom Nutrients added with minimal Guano & a trim with more intense LST.
Day 58 - Blackout
Day 59 - LED Switched on to BLOOM. LST readjusted.
Day 60 - Bloom Switch on, VEG Switch Off - Interlude of light.
Day 61 - Left to recover.
Day 62 - Left to recover.
Day 63 - new nutrients and lst added(tightened), LED's lifted by 5cm, trimmed fan lefts and lower parts of stems.
Day 66 : Bobbi requires a trim and new LST Branches to Central stems. Cuckoo looks flat and great!
Day 70 : CP gets a trim, nutrients topped up, and pH a bit on the higher side - 6.5. Raised the lights for both by about 10cm
Day 71 : Cuckoo is maintaining her flat canopy, and Bobbi is thickening beautifully.
Day 72 : Bobbi Bud and Cuckoo Punch seems to be loving the conditions, massive growth spurt. CP is stretching quite a bit. pH down again to 6.1
Day 73 : The tent is a bit over-crowded and both CP and BB is in need of some serious TLC. The buds are looking healthy and are thickening nicely.
Day 75 : Bobbi received a much needed haircut and trim to the skirt. CP requires some tidying up too. Both plants looking healthy and buds thickening nicely.
Day 76 : Girls are looking happy and enjoying the climate.
Day 77 : Trimming, nutrients, water - plants looking happy and buds getting much denser
Day 78 : Both plants adjusting nicely to the nutrients and recovering after their trim
Day 79 : Plants recovered well, pH stable.
Day 84 : 13/05/2018 | Nutrients increased; Bloom, Guano, and Pk Boost topped up. pH stable at around 5.8
Day 85 : pH balanced out at 6.2; water perfect, humidity increased to 65%
The last week of nutrients, Bobbi Bud looking healthy and Cuckoo Punch showing a bit of a sensitive side again..
Day 88: Microscope time! Inspection of the trichomes have begun. Nutrients added for the last time before flushing starts, lights raised to maximum height.
Day 91: Time to start the flushing. Water emptied, bucket cleaned and fresh water added/ pH down to 5.5
First week of flushing, no nutrients in water, and pH stable at around 6.2
Buds are thickening up and plants are looking well.
Day 96 : Another bucket of water added as the ladies are thirsty. Clear signs of the left-over nutrients being consumed by both, harvesting will happen soon. pH down to 5.5; humidity up to 77%.
Great dense buds, with a lovely aroma. Grinding is amazing to see the amount you get and smells very sweet. Smoke is a bit harsh on the throat but leaves a lasting taste of sweetness.
Great tasting and only maturing with age in the cure zone. Very tasty and orgasmic smell. Smooth smoke with a lovely plume of smoke. Hard to grow but well worth the smoke if cured with patience.
Hi dude, usually with LEDs you use both bloom and veg switch on together during bloom. With the mars reflector I used if you turn off the veg the internal cooling fans turn off. On that specific LED I used the veg switch on its own during veg then applied the bloom switch when ready for red spectrum. Look at all the other LED grows they all look purple right? That’s because it’s a mix of blue and red spectrums! Hope this reaches you in time✌️🏻
@PharmaZ, Thank you and yes, I was gradually trying something and I'm happy thus far, but noticed today the Girl required new nutrients and the LED changed.
Appreciate the help and happy 420

@Excalibur, looking great👍🏼 good decision on moving the fan. As long as there is a gentle breeze flowing around the grow area. An oscillating fan is best of course, need to get one myself.✌️🏻️
@PharmaZ, will load the manifolded girls tonight, please let me know what you think.
I have since raised fan and lowered its speed. I think they are looking great. Love you feedback
@Excalibur, you're welcome. She's not sick, I think it might be the water running on that leaf and it being wet that may caused the issue - the last 2 photos.
Yes, I've done mainfolding before
@bobo420, thanks! I wasn't sure with the twisting of the one : Cuckoo Punch : Peyote Cookies, but she's back on track I think.
6th node still developing , have you ever manifolded ?
@bobo420,coming along beautifully. About to add some nutrients and increase the ground fan speed, lower the pH by 0.5 , and drop the solution temp by 4-5°c
your plants look gorgeous. I'm a first time grower and wanted to see if anyone else was growing Blueberry OG. you've definitely given me some inspiration. is there any advice you could give me to make sure I get results like you?!
@banksidebuds, Thank you and I am happy but far from successful yet. Advice : Watch you pH early on ,and slow introduction into your tent or main form of light, (Light height is key : depends on wattage ). If i can help let me know, and I'd gladly try, but I am also always learning. Have a great grow and thank you again #staylifted
@Excalibur, it's PAR that you should be looking at and judging by what they advertise >1000 at 18" that is more than ok. At full flower mine are usually at around ~900 and that seems to do the trick.
@Nebula420, Thank you very much. I didn't see your earlier comment.
Was an amazing plant. really took whatever I threw at here and my my my. Regret not dry trimming, but I learn each time.
Thank you again for noticing and commenting.

These are looking wicked man.. nice frosty buds too! I cant say anything about the blueberry og as this grow will be the first time i have had it but the p.c.. 👌 you certainly wont be dissapointed with whats to come.. i cant wait to run it again personally.. and i found it was also a great strain for hash production! What scope do you use if you don't mind me asking pal? I just have a regular 30x 60x loupe but it's not the best imo so looking to get a better one and yours looks pretty decent quality in comparison?
@@Gl420grower, thanks man and no secrets.
I was lucky the tent climate was near perfect each day, during harvest and hanging it's been easy to control , a touch hot here and there but perfect.
Whole plant, we've done one week and now cut off the stems and placed into airing discs in the same climate.
Flipping each time I can remember as well as opening the tent, this happens for two days.
After about 9-10days they begin to feel dry or crispy, where I will place them in a glass tube (until I purchased big enough jars. In here ideally 8weeks , but two weeks of monitoring the climate inside the jar and moving the nugs about.
@Excalibur, out of curiosity mate when you dry by hanging the whole plant.. have you tried to campare between cured and non cured after it? An if so do you feel like a cure is really necessary? I only ask as I thought that given the amount of time it takes to dry a whole plant she would mature quite well at the same time being in the right environment.. or am I completely off there?
As for the scope man I have just found it on the web and going to get one ordered this week.. so big thanks for the details.
I hope mine looks as nice as yours does.. she is getting tall now though so Think I am am going to have to flip her in the next couple of days.
Best of luck on the rest of your work man I look forward to seeing your final results!
@@Gl420grower, Thank you very much.
I am pleased with the grow, it's stil busy hanging. Trimmed and whole plant hanged. Will cut into nugs soon and place in discs or jars depending on how dry they are.
Microscope :
XCSOURCE USB 1000X Digital Microscope Endoscope For WIN PC Video Camera TE389
Cost £15. And I have an adaptor for my phone which I plug the microscope straight into, as you can see my profile picture.
Thanks again and will have a look through your diaries.

@Excalibur,
If leaf tips are curling up on edges it could be low humidity, twisting leaves are probably, adjusting,to nutrients, it will normally be fine, but keep an eye on ppm,or ec, always start with 1/2 strength ferts,slowly increase to full strength if needed,you are doing great🙌 keep up the good work and be observant your plants will tell you what they need.👍
@Excalibur, only thing I can judge size by using comparison is the fans which look about 12 inch?
I would say you have at least 3oz of bud plus maybe 1/2-1oz of popcorn per plant. Are you going to take all the fans off or will you leave everything till the very end?✌️🏻
Thanks @bobo420, Was concerned about the dark leaves and veins, with curling on the tips, after the twisting at the start. However both seem great. Thanks again!
Excalibur
