Dutch Passion Think Different and AutoBlueberry under Mars II 700 LED

Very Nice!
I bet they love that light....
Thanks! Yeah, this light rules. I still have it parked about 42 inches away and they are doing fantastic. Everything has been so consistent this time. The temperatures are ridiculously easy to manage now. I think that's what they are liking best, is the constant optimal temperature and humidity. Not moving them around or training them this time either. Just gonna give them what they need/like and see what they'll do!
Hey Dr. F.
you are in for a treat!
I have got a dutch passion auto blueberry on the go now in the same size pot but mine is under a chinese 240w led (blackstar copy).
Mine is huge, its going so good I am nearly keeping up with tang and his abb's
Let me find you a picture
here you go. She is at day 35 and is just under 50cm tall and 50cm wide.
I hope you have got space for the monsters you are growing because with your lights yours should get bigger than mine. I will keep an eye out for your updates.

Seraphim, that's an awesome blueberry! TaNg definitely sets the bar high. I'll have to check your grow out too.
Gotta say so far it has been interesting to me to see the blueberry grow so differently than the TD. So far it seems to be more massive. The leaves are larger and it is spreading out horizontally. For a while, my TD was going kinda slow, always a day or two behind the ABB. But now it's the taller of the two, if less massive.
Both plants are healthy as can be. I can't find a brown spec or burn on any of the leaves. They're already putting out a potent grassy smell too!
Hey Froggy nice grow!
Day 21
Woo hoo! Three weeks down!
The Think Different has taken on a very nice structure. It's symmetrical and open.
The Blueberry is still very thick. For a few days it looked like a solid dome of leaves. Now the shoots from underneath are pushing out of the thick leaf shell.
I'm very impressed with this LED. The entire grow, from seedling til now, I've kept it 45" from the soil. The plants seem to be encouraged to "open up" and make larger structures for later flowering. Once flowering goes into full swing, I may actually move the light down about a foot to drive up the intensity.
Also pretty impressed with the General Organics GO box. I alternate between regular and very light feedings for now, since I know my soil already has plenty of N and P.
I follow the box schedule for regular feeds like once a week, and give a light version in between feeds when the soil dries. On these days, I just give water with the Bio Root and Bioweed, and 1/2 doses of calmag and yucca extract. They seem to love it.
Not really sure if I can do much to improve this grow. I'm wondering if I could add CO2. The MyCO2 boxes look legit. My tent is small, and I run my exhaust at minimum speed. What do you guys think?

Looks great! IMHO, you can move that light way closer now to generate accelerated growth....you have nice, squat density going on and they are very established. I would cut the 45" almost in half now. Oh and YES, get some CO2 rolling in there....can't recommend that enough. I haven't heard from Ronin on the MyCO2bag box, but there's only like 4 left on Amazon currently. Give it a shot! I know the plants love it.
Thanks Trapper50cal!
I suppose I'll move the lights closer.. or rather, move the plants higher. I really dig having the lighting up at the top of the tent, it's all right next to the exhaust which is how I get away with running such a slow venting speed.
I can't decide which MyCO2 box to use... Bloom would obviously punch the CO2 levels way high, but only lasts so long. With the veg box, it doesn't produce as fast and could last a few grows. Plus with my space being so small, it may not need the bloom specific box to achieve the right levels...
Placement is another issue. I know they want you to put it high and let the heavier CO2 drift down onto your plants... but I don't really have room up in the tent, and I don't wanna cover the light. Putting it above the light makes me feel like it'll mostly get sucked out the exhaust. So mayyyybeeee I could put it under the drain table and give it a small fan pointing upward to keep tossing CO2 up into the canopy.
So many variables... back to the bat cave.

Well, I don't want to be the fly in Frog's ointment...but if you were to move the light down, you might open up some room for the box
I personally would get the Bloom and blast em. They can use up to 1500 ppm and ambient is like 300 ppm.
Wherever it ends up, I think it needs to start above the plants...even if it's off to the side with a fan right below it, pushing the CO2 towards the plant. my 2 cents.
As to the light, IMHO, put it at 30-something and observe what happens. incremental in case I'm wrong and it's too powerful.
