Dutch Passion CBD Kush & Blueberry Scrog under a GN Rebel

[Grateful Zach]

Looks great man! I love photos, just now trying out these auto things haha.. I am wondering how you get in there to water without being able to remove the pots? Do the plants sit in the run off water? If so, the salts that would normally get flushed out are reabsorbed by the plant. That might be part of your cal/mag issue. Just something to think about, keep up the good work! That room is going to be full of buds before you know it!

Thanks man! For watering, I put a hose over the spout of the watering can and then put the hose in below the screen. It's getting a bit tricky to water the plants in the back since I can't see the pots anymore. To get rid of the run-off I use a sponge cloth to soak up the water and wring it out in a bucket so they're not sitting in it.

Day 65/22

It's coming along nicely. I see a good amount of pistils. They still had a bit of stretch left in them so I had to pull back the main colas a little. I have a few centimeters left before they get too close to the light so there should be room for the bud formation still. I backed off the bloom nutes to reduce the amount of N since the leaves are a pretty dark shade of green. Last feeding I gave them 2/5 bloom nutes, a full dose of cal-mag and 3/5 of PK. According to the Hesi feed schedule you should start adding in PK between week 3 and 4 but I added a little bit at day 17 already since I reduced the bloom nutes.
I'm really happy with the progress, every time I open the tent it puts a big grin on my face. The tent is pretty much maxed out at this point. I can't wait to see them bud up.

Great dirty budster im glad to see that everything is going well for you again and it looks like you have it all dialed in now. Cant wait to see these girls packing on the buds now.

Thanks Grim! Yeah, I'm also impatiently waiting for some buds

Day 73/30

It seems I have reached the water and wait phase, all the tops are in postition and the stretch is over. I have been keeping them on a fairly steady feed schedule. Last feed was 3/5 of bloom and PK with a full dose of cal-mag. Oddly enough they're still taking 5 days to dry out after a watering til run-off so I've been watering with a bit more than half the amount 2 times and then until run-off the 3rd time so I can check the pH of the run-off. It has been really humid, 60-70%, the last week so that might have contributed as well. Now the humidity is back in the 40-50% range.

I'm starting to see the first buds forming and I've noticed an increase in smell. The kush plants have a fruity and peppery smell at the same time, the blueberry has a fruity/flowery smell. They've also started to get sticky I noticed while I was poking around in there.

Starting to see a bit of early frost.

Thanks mate!

Day 81/38

I think it's going pretty well, the smell has started to pick up. I added a bit more PK to the feed and am now feeding with 3/5 bloom nutes, 4/5 PK and a full dose of cal-mag. I haven't spotted any deficiences or seen any signs of nute-burn so that dose seems about right. I have a feeling they will go longer than 9 weeks in flower but we shall see. I'm hoping there will be something worth sampling in beginning of August, would fit in nicely with my vacation:smoke:

I snappped some pictures today

Blueberry bud, I think this one is the furthest ahead at the moment.

CBD1 bud, still pretty small but quite a bit of frost already.

Day 90/47

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I've been struggling with some health related issues. I'm suffering from Lyme disease and co-infections and have been for the past 8 years. Lately it's really been kicking my ass so I haven't had much energy.

I didn't check the run-off for a while as I've been trying to reduce the effort involved in watering because I've been deadly tired in the evenings. Last feeding was on Sunday so I decided to do a proper watering and check the run-off. The pH has dropped quite a bit, it came out at 6.3, 6.1, 5.9 and 6.5 (CBD1,2,3 and BB). I will increase the pH of the feed next time to somewhere around 6.8-7.0 except for the BB. Luckily I haven't seen any ill effects so far. Other than that they seem to be doing pretty well. The buds started to swell and the smell is really starting to kick in, nothing easily identifiable yet but it smells great in there.

Looks like there's a hint of nute burn at the tips so I reduced the amount of nutes slightly. Last time around I used 2/5 of bloom 4/5 of PK and a full dose of cal-mag.

BB

The blueberry is looking nice and frosty
