New Grower Balcony grow - Auto Blueberry and Royal Pruple Kush

[incipit]

Hey guys, finally I decided to start my own grow journal. My grow is really simple as it should be for any rookie in that matter Both plants sprouted on the same day - 5th of May. So the setup is the following:

- Two 3 liters air-pots
- Gold Label Special Mix soil
- Dutch Formula Bloom, Micro and Biobizz FISH-MIX as fertilizers

I am watering the plants each day in the morning with about 250 ml of nutrition solution. Each plant is having her own recipe.

For the Auto Blueberry and I am adding in 2 liters of water 10ml of Fish-mix with 4ml of the Dutch Formula Bloom and 2ml of the Micro solution.

For the Purple Kush the nutrition schedule is more light. As she is a photo strain I really have to keep her compact and small. She is given 4ml of fish mix, plus 2ml of both Bloom and Micro.

Here are some pictures of the blueberry which is 2 months old and 4 weeks into flowering.

The smell is truly amazing !

The Purple Kush still has long way to go that's why I had to improvise and tie her down to the pot as she was getting quite tall already and I don't want her to break through my cover. The result is rather satisfying but I definitely have a lot more to learn on the LST technique

Both plants have really dark leaves but the Blueberry is almost grey-green. These are two pictures taken before the sun shows up, about 5 days ago. You can easily see the difference

The LST on the photo can go a million ways: http://www.google.pt/search?q=lst+c...Ss0QX2z9WKDg&ved=0CEsQsAQ&biw=480&bih=268#p=0

Looking real nice. Are you growing them indoors or out?

I would suggest you go easy with the waterings as daily could be too often. Get a feel for the pots when they are almost completely dry and only water them again when they feel that way.

Thanks guys Both plants are being grown outdoors so to say. They are on my southern balcony. Regarding the watering I truly feel like doing it every day as the sun is blistering here pretty damn hard. It doesn't go bellow 30 degrees as far as 8 pm. Around that time there is still some moist into the soil but in the morning the pots are almost dried out

Over watering can lead to problems. When the roots are constantly wet it cuts off the oxygen to them and the plants suffer. I've grown outdoors, in 2.5 or 3 gallon pots, in 90 + degree weather with the plants in direct sun. This was in a well drained, very light peat based soil mixture. Even under those conditions I seldom watered more than every 3-4 days when the plants were young, and at most, every 2 days when they were bigger and the pots were full of roots. As previously mentioned, go by the weight of the pots for the best results.

Hey guys, here is one popcorn bud of my auto blueberry at day y65.

How much time do you think she has left ?
Please advise

Can't tell from just a bud shot. Need to see a picture of the whole plant.
