Indoor Dutch Passion L.S.T AutoBlueberry 250 watt hps grow.

[nineweeks]

Welcome all to my new grow.

I have over the past few months been keeping myself busy by killing or doing my best to kill the new Think Different strain from DP. After many many mistakes (going to coco and hating it) I hope I have learnt enough in the past few failed attempts to see me right with this grow.

I have gone back to the Blueberry from DP because I just love growing this strain, and it takes really really well to L.S.T with its quick vertical growth on the lower branches , has beautiful colours, great smell, and of course the most important it is plain straight out awesome weed to smoke

Ok I am at the end of week one having started planting the seed directly into the pot. The small tier on top is full of neutral cactus soil and the larger 15L pot underneath is full of playgron royalty mix. The Royalty mix was flushed with PH 6.2-6.5 water before I planted.

She has had so far only 1 proper watering, with ph 6.0 water and I added a small amount of diamond nectar root stim goodness to that water as per instructions. The playgron royalty mix states not to add extra nutrients for the first 6 weeks of growth, but in my last experience that was too late (autos flower earlier ofc) so I will just have to watch her closely to see when to add supplements.

I have given a little water today to keep moist but only 500mls or so, no additives just ph 6.0 water. The next 4 weeks will be just diamond nectar and correct ph water.

Anyway have a look at the pics, looks like I am off to a great start at least, at just 7 days she really is looking very promising indeed!
Have included a pic of my sick Think Different for those who are interested on how to kill your girl by ignoring ph levels

Better luck this time. With a quality compost growing like that you are off to a good start. Lets hope this one delivers you some really good quality pot!

Nine weeks give you a +rep on the Clips for doing LST, love that man, no drilling on the pot! And as far as what happened on the TD it no biggie, like to see you dancing with the one that brung ya! Auto blueberry, I was checking the DP website and watching the vidoe that showed it growing 1.5 meters, and that would be too tall for me so I am going to have to go the LST route as well... Looking forward to following your grow. I'm subbed up!

Hi INH yeah the clips are great eh they work really really well and you can move em side to side easy too!

Just a quick photo update as I was messing around on the camera trying to get some nice shots.

Day 9... Amazing what a difference 2 days makes, you can stand and watch her grow pretty much...many hours lost standing and watching

Anyhoo she is still lovely and green and looking very healthy.

Looking at these pics, you almost feel like a parent of an older child looking at someone else baby pics, saying , awwww I really miss when they were like that. They look great 9wks, imagine how they'll look at nine weeks!

Day 14.

Showing mild signs of over fertilising on the new leaf tips but I have had that always with BB in Playgron Royalty, it will mellow out as she starts to take off. I have of course still added nothing nutrient wise but PHd 6.3 water and diamond nectar (3ml/L) from GHE hydroponics.

She (and I can now say she) :booya: showed sex at day 12...pretty fast, fastest I have had so far I think. To me she looks pretty good still and I hope things stay nice and smooth like this for the next few weeks!

Day 16:

Time to start the training. I think I have chosen a good time to begin with L.S.T, she was still supple enough to get that main trunk bent over...but I was very very careful as it is easily snapped in half if rushed, I will need to pull her down again in 12 hours or so and keep that up for a few days till the others catch up

Anyway I took a few pics to hopefully paint a clear picture of what we are trying to achieve with L.S.T and I hope it inspires others to give it a go too

Hi nine weeks - lets hope that the next 2 months go well for you with your 250W HPS grow. I am sure you can do a nice job here !

Hey, good job, I was thinking of growing the Auto Blueberry from DP so I am going to keep a close eye on this +rep!

Also I totally respect the LST'ing I have done it in the past but now I am upto 12 plants and I dont have the time or patience anymore unfortunately

I am new to this forum, I have been using other forums but I want mention any names on here (haha). I have fallen in love with it here since I am a AF lover and have been growing these particular strains for almost a year now and I cant see myself turning back at any time (especially with all the new strains coming out!)

Anyways sending good Karma your way and wish you goodluck!
