DJ Short Blueberry Using Rezipe w/Drippers/Hand Water Side by Side Grow

so benzo do you see any difference on the plants between the two feeding programs yet?

How high does the pH rise when you just use tap water? It will rise a little bit if you oxygenate with an airstone or a pump or what have you. A little bit would be like 4/10ths. i.e. 5.8 up to 6.2.

If it's rising a lot, I would wager that your tap water has moderate to high alkalinity (acid buffering capacity) and would stick with the half half and nutes that are low in ammoniacal Nitrogen.


whoa you hit it head on. went from 5.78 to 6.23. and yes I have a airstones in there..


I ended up mixing in 5gallons of RO with nutes.

Should I be using cal mag then? or is 1/2 tap enough to cover it?




& about the different feeding schedules:

Also.. I sorta got a head of my self. I'm waiting until these flowered plants have been in there for 2 weeks. Then the drip table is getting set up with the other clones. They are a little bit to small to flower right now.



GreatLakes THC=Thanks yo! i can't wait till its 10pm so i can see how much more weight they put on
:joint:

This is right after lights turned off , and after a feeding of 6/9 micro and bloom and 1 tsp of kool bloom.

looks nice...i'm subscribed :) using coco with the slightly older rezipe, the one based off liquid kb, but i tweak it a little bit depending on the strain. i've finished up a couple of rounds with that advice and GH nutes, and even just the bagseed i started with originally gave me delicious results that burned to a fine white ash, as the man said :)

Thats definitely what happens when the temp gets to high, the ridges curl up to try to get rid of moisture that they carry. Your lucky to get a hold of Dj Shorts Blueberry, i thought i got it from a collective one time, only to discover it was Blueberry Kush. Still really good bud. Speed Queen is also amazing.... Good Luck! Ill keep checking back. Please feel free to check out my grow and comment!

I grew in BioNova coco-brick in 3.5liters pots. I had my lights on between 18:00 and 06:00 (6pm to 6am) and watered for two minutes 4pm, for four minutes 6pm and then for two minutes every other hour until 4pm which was my last watering. I had to kill all the plants before harvest but the growth was crazy before that. Unfortunately it was not the same strain as the grow before where I ran the drippers about 15-30 minutes a day (manually for the most of the time) but the growth was better when I watered every other hour during plant-daytime (the first watering two hours before their dawn).

But of course, this was only possible when the plants got bigger. You'll have to adjust to your plants size and so...
(I hade to increase to four minutes watering 6pm to prevent salt build ups due to no run off.)

wsmith = awesome! i was getting worried about using the rezipe.. as most people in coco use canna a/b with pk13/14

how did you tweak your feeding schedule?



cjensen11 = Thanks! I'm extremely happy to get the blueberry. Won't know for sure if it is till im smoking on it tho :)

and for the ridge curl, i think it was just low humitidy due to the fan being to close. my temps have been perfect (for now at least). in a few months from now it'll be in the triple digits all week long. NOT looking foward to that..



Lemony Skunkes = thank you for the info! got it saved for when i finally set up the drippers.. haha

& how come you had to kill the plants before harvest?

UPDATE 5/19/2010
I was taking to many pictures.. and didnt want to get my album full of pics that almost look the same. So its been about a good week or 2 since i last posted pics.

I like the way the plant grows. It like stacks calyxes , instead of just getting plump. very unique...

took 1 plant out to get better pics... Yet the pic is still wack and blurry!! oh well...

anyways im getting yellowing way to early. I think its cal mag deficient.
I started addings 5mls of cal mag per gallon of RO water now.. hope it clears it up.

& finishing off with a group shot:

ganja_hasi= thanks!!

and i like your profile pic.. dope looking cat.

The Hummus Monk= yeah after looking at the infirmary i ruled out the cal or mag def. I think your right about the Nitrogen def.

If im running 6ml/9ml micro/bloom and 5ml cal mag per gallon of RO, how do I add more nitrogen, or up the ppms?

do I add 9mls micro/13.5mls of bloom and keep the cal mag the same at 5ml per gallon?


anyone?

Good stuff man, welcome to coco and good choice by the way you'll soon be happy.

The first time i smoked DJ's Blueberry I was playing a game of chess for money,yeah, don't do that.


That's Hilarious - I find that chess is seriously slower after a doobie... As long as your opponent is "handicapped" it actually improves strategy... More focus and attention..lol:jump:

benzo,

How's things coming along bro? Your plants seem to be doing very well.

How do you like the CMH's you've been using? I just talked myself into buying one a couple days ago and should be here sometime soon! After seeing the chart of what CMH's can do, I just had to get one!

Also, have you been flushing your coco periodically? I do use different stuff, Canna Coco, but I finally felt the need to flush the plants becuase of what looked to be K def, which is usually caused by salt build up, hopefully will see if they are doing better in a couple hours, keep us posted!
