Photoperiod DNA KushBerry...welcome to the dark side!

[HotBunz]

So I had a DNA KushBerry photoperiod seed that I have been dying to grow but had been so caught up kicking butt with my autos she has just been sitting in her package waiting her turn. I started her back in December and today marks day 71 for her already. I am sure she has at least 30 days more left to go.

She is pretty much being ran in the same set up and the same method I use for my autos. She started out in a 3.5 gallon bucket with a HTG Rhizocore net pot/bucket lid. I am using the same General Hydroponics FLORA 3 part. Plus the standard Cal/Mag as well as Botanicare's Silica Blast and Hydroguard.

I only vegged her for 30 days hoping to keep her small enough for my DIY cabinet. Sadly that did not work out! She has turned into a monster and I moved her out into a 28"x53"x78" tent a couple of weeks ago. As of yesterday she is 49" tall from the top of the bucket! Sh has not been a nute whore and is just now taking 700PPM. I also moved her into a 5 gallon bucket when I moved her to the tent.

Lighting is my DIY Cree cxb3590 fixture(104w at the wall), 1 MarsHydro 300w(174w at the wall) and a new Amare SolarSpec 150(164w at the wall) thanks to A-Train and the folks at Amare.

First picture is day 22......next is day 31 right after the 12/12 flip.....then day 46....followed by day 59...and then today at day 71.

Well it has been pretty busy here lately and need to give an update. Today the Kushberry is 89 days old. I moved recently and having to transport a 5 foot tall cannabis plant while in full bloom was less than fun trust me on that! She is starting to fall over from the weight of her buds....I guess that's a good problem to have. I am trying a couple things new this time around. The first is I have started using General Hydroponics Koolbloom Dry and I started her on Botanicare's SWEET Original Berry. I am thinking I will start her on she flush some time this week and flush with just the SWEET for 10 days or so.

Wow this gives me warm fuzzy feelings. Incredible grow man!

Here is a little bit better picture(day90 now)! She is falling all over herself!

I hooked up my Watt meter today and FWIW I have a total of 427 watts of LED over her and the total tent with 1 DIY Cree cxb3590 fixture, 1 MarsHydro 300w(REAL old model), 1 Amare SS150 fixture, 1 4" HV blower and 2 air pumps is 485 watts.

She is on Day 98 today. She is also on day 5 of her flush. All she has had is straight RO/DI water with Botanicare's SWEET and Hydroguard. I have tied her main colas up some to keep them more directly under the lights. Looking at her trichromes under my loupe she is 99% cloudy with just a few ambers. I would like to chop her in 5 days or so as long as she ambers up a good amount more first.

I was hoping she would fill out a bit more than she has but I think she will finish out maybe around 9oz dry so not bad I guess.

I have enjoyed this photoperiod grow. She has been my first photo plant in 14yr and my first photo plant in DWC. The one downside is I can't get anything else started till I get her chopped and out of the tent. With autoflowers I could already be getting a head start with my next plant.

She had a date with the axe last night! All said and done she is 1,036grams wet. Given that number her final dry weight should be around 7oz. Sadly she will fall short of my goal for this plant but any grow that makes it to the end in a great grow in my book! She smell amazing to say the least. It's sort of like a mix of lemon and blueberries....freaking awesome! She is trimmed and hanging to dry.
