Indoor My First grow: AutoBlueberry!

[Username]

So about a week ago I decided to germinate three AutoBlueberry seeds by Dutch Passion. I had my eye on some nice CFL lights at 1000bulbs.com, and was ready to order. What I found out though, is that I can't use their bulbs! They are the wrong voltage for the Netherlands.

So now I had three seeds germinating, but no proper lights. At the moment I'm using three 20w 2700K bulbs which combined put out a whopping 3300 lumen, which we all know will not nearly be enough in a (couple of) weeks.

My hardware stores don't sell the 6500k lights, so I went to Amazon.co.uk where I found some pretty decent lights for a nice price LINK. The only thing I need but don't have is a creditcard to purchase them...

Anyway, I will update this thread with posts, pictures and other cool stuff regularly. As you probably know by now this my first grow, so I will probably ask quite some questions. All feedback is welcome as well, I'm here to learn!

I'm using:
3x Dutch Passion AutoBlueberry
3x 6liter pots (1.6 gallon)
Bio-Bizz All Mix
Bio-Bizz Grow & Bloom
Secret Jardin DR60 II (60x60x160cm, 2x2x5ft)
3x20w 2700K CFL
1x 36w 4100K TL
AeroCool Shark PC fan (95CFM) for outtake, passive intake

Lights (don't have them yet):
Grow: 2x 65w 6400K CFL 1x 65w 2700K CFL 3x 20w 2700K CFL 1x 36w 4100K TL = 291 Watt
Bloom: 2x 65w 2700K CFL 1x 65w 6400K CFL 3x 20w 2700K CFL 1x 36w 4100K TL = 291 Watt

I am aiming on keeping them relatively small in height, since three plants may be too big for the space they're in.

Planted them in this day. Was this root too short?

Day 09:

Is this a normal size for them at this stage? I feel as if they are a little on the small side..

I place them in the sun (28-29C, 84F) behind a window as long as it's shining until I get the proper lamps, if the sun is gone I move them to the tent. Is moving them a bad idea (stress), or can they handle it?

These are the most recent pictures of my darlings!

They look a bit behind User, probably due to the lack of a proper light. No worries though, they look nice and green
Get those lights asap though...
:smokebuds:

Edit- After looking at them again... They don't look that far behind at all. I've got 2 of these going and today is day 7 for them as well, mine are just a bit bigger but not by much.

I try to put them in the sun as often as possible, so they get at least a bit of the right light. But yeah, I'm glad they at least look so green despite of the conditions haha. I looked at day 07-09 in Seymours' Buds for less and they look only a bit bigger, but day 15 looks like he put some miracle growing stuff in the soil.. You're gonna post a grow thread of your AutoBB's as well? Your current grow is looking amazing, I'm curious what you can do with the Blueberry lol

I want/need those lights asap indeed, I really do. It's unfortunate that a creditcard is not really a common form of tender that we use over here so it'll be hard to find someone who has one..

Thanks User
I'll probably start a thread on the BB here soon, kind of using my current grow thread for them at the moment. Chopping a couple girls tonight, I'll snap some pics of the BB while I'm at it.

Hey User, pretty cool. How far away are your plants from the lights? You can get them in pretty close. Until your other lights arrive, try to get each seedling under it's own 20 watter and try to keep them about 8 - 10cm away.
But hey, they look nice and healthy! :thumbs:
And your pics look great! I can see this will be a good thread for a fine Canna-Porn Fix.

[ThisIsHowItGoes]

I'm using:
1x Dutch Passion AutoBlueberry
1x GrassOMatic Auto AK
1x Zambeza Little Dwarf
1x Zambeza Notorious White
4x 11 litre pots
Bio-Bizz All Mix
Bio-Bizz Grow & Bloom
Epsom Salts
Organic Molasses
1x 250W Sunmaster Dual Spec HPS with reflector
4" TT Fan & Carbon Filter Kit

And I've some PH down and a liquid test kit. Aiming for between 6.5-7 everytime.

Grow room is 1x1.3x1.8m or there abouts I think.

The light goes on during the coldest times and off in the hottest. So it's off between 12-18. And I started with it about 3 foot away but now it stays at about 10 inches.

I'm on day 22 since sprouting...I'll try get some pics up at somepoint. They start slow but my god do they pick up.

What's your nute schedule like? I'm going with:
(All per litre)
WEEK 1:
PH’d water

WEEK 2:
¼ ml BIO-GROW

WEEK 3:
½ ml BIO-GROW – ¼ ml BIO-BLOOM

WEEK 4:
½ ml BIO-GROW – ½ ml BIO-BLOOM - ¼ tsp epsom salts

WEEK 5:
½ ml BIO-GROW – 1 ml BIO-BLOOM

WEEK 6:
½ ml BIO-GROW – 1 ml BIO-BLOOM - ¼ tsp Molasses

WEEK 7:
½ ml BIO-GROW – 1½ ml BIO-BLOOM - ¼ tsp Molasses

WEEK 8:
½ ml BIO-GROW – 1½ ml BIO-BLOOM - ¼ tsp Molasses

WEEK 9:
PH’d water

WEEK 10:
PH’d water

And I started slowly but now they're getting about a litre every third day. Plus regular misting...especially in this hot period that has recently struck.

This is my first grow.
