Screwdriver's Blueberry x NL grow

S

screwdriver

"Winning cross" I had my doubts in the begining with the mother. Not many trics and didn't seem very "potent". The cuttings since, have been covered in trics. I'll attribute that to the maturity level. I put the mother in flower early.
As for the quality.......JR, was pretty good and I really enjoyed her. If there were others who may of tried some, they would have said the same or better. One of these girls I will do a smoke report and it will be better than "It was pretty good". What I like is that you can be locked down for a short period and bring yourself out of it and carry on working. Just a moment in the lull of the day is beautifull.

Well, it is day 64 and I could wait no more. Trics are about 15% amber everybody else is clear or cloudy. I went ahead and took everything off her so you could see her curves.......Is that a cold breeze or are you happy to see me?

Here's a nice pic of the Vs. Doing great this go around. Rooted quickly and adding nodes at 18 days. I have them under 20/4 with a brand new bulb. What a difference a new bulb makes if you let it go too long. By the end of the third grow it looks like a candle. Will have to switch out the HPS when they go into flower (in second grow now).



Day 12 of flower and she's stretching so I'm in there pulling down little by little. Looking healthy, but I kind of see a little yellow on one lower leaf. Just gave her some tea. She's is beautiful.

The Vs. These are growing way too fast.



Day 19 of flower. So, I was trimming some fan leaves and I started to cut something and noticed a little tougher to cut. Aaaahhhhhhhh :bashhead: :cuss: :spank: It was a nice bud site. That was a couple of days ago. Supported the weight and looks like it is recovering. All the other sites, as you can see, are reaching for the light. Lowered the shelf after taking picture.



And everybody in there home.

I did some LST on one of the Vs.
Stem has a nice round arch where bent.



Here she is reaching for the light.



And top view. She has come out very strong.

Day 33 of flower for IV. She looks sad and droopy because i have neglected her for a couple of days. She really wants to be loved. I again let her go too long in veg and didn't keep up with pruning and this is what you get. Its hard to tell from pics, but I trimmed up some of the popcorn sites and future popcorn sites. The site that I cut halfway thru and kept healthy.......Snipped. Got rid of some of the interior fan leafs. Topped dressed with blood, 3 phos, Epsom Plus, and lime. Watered.


4 hours later and in her home sleeping.


Bud site at top.

Anima, sorry about late response.
I've been thinking about stepping up to a 250, but not sure about heat. Not in the flower chamber (cool tube), but in the veg chamber where the transformer would be. Too lazy to fix that problem.

If I had more watts I would produce more and I might be compelled to use it. :jump:

Day 39 of flower for IV. We sat down for some guano tea that has been brewing.


Here is V. She was just growing so fast I went ahead and transplanted then put it in flower. For the first 30 days she will be under the 70 MH. There no room under the HPS.



Last, but not least.......introducing my newest girl.


I'll call her VI.

WE sat down for some guano tea??

Hello and welcome.
I like teas with my girls. Just made some alfalfa tea for V. She wants to try the guano tea, but I told her she wasn't old enough. Age restrictions. These girls are really easy to please and just look excited. They are at the stage where my eyes start hurting because I stare at them when they wake up looking at the new growth. :yummy:

With IV in the foreground then grouping of buds close up and finally with a little perspective. Using a typical screwdriver handle. :wave:




A cramped shot of V in flower under the MH. She really wants the HPS. Sorry.

I don't think VI's have roots, but they seem to be growing.

A shot of IV. She is getting harder to pull in and out of cabinet(Seems to be top heavy). She is at day 46. Topped dressed with blood, guano, potash, lime and water with molasses.



Next in line is V at day 7 of flower. I will try to keep her a little smaller than the last two.



Lastly, IV. Starting to droop and you can see a little yellow creeping in. Come on baby push those roots out. Only at day seven.

What can happen in a day. I thought they looked differently droopy. They seemed to start out so strong looking then :badday: . So I did an emergency cutting at 8 days into flower. The others I'll keep still, but it looks like they are dying at the new growth. If she can't make it I'll be sad.



Here are two White Widow cuttings from same day. They turned out to be male, but cloned easily. I left the domecup off to see if they could support themselves. One can. The other will spring back just in time to be culled.

screwdriver

Well the male WW cuttings made it until I culled them. I pronounced one of the VIs dead. The other just looks like it is dying still. The new VI I cut again started out good, but has the same light brown coloring in the new growth area. Maybe not enough humidity under dome. I can get a V that is still in veg and take cuttings from her, but that wouldn't be the same. So if the last VI cant make it this will be the beginning of the end.



V still flowering under the MH. 12 days



IV is too big to be pulling in and out. She can stay in there until she's ready to come out of the closet. There is also a Blueberry back there, but you can see the difference in buds so ignore her.
She really looks good close up and the smell. I wish I knew more words so I could describe the odor as you russle around. This one by far has had the best and longest odor in flower, but not overpowerful more like very pleasant.

Thanks people. I'm trying to keep this line going. It feels like she is reborn each cycle. I've been saddened lately because the two cuttings failed and my third and final one was dying. So, I was laying in bed thinking about her and hoping she could pull thru when I thought....HEY THAT NODE PATTERN WAS DIFFERENT..... :spank: Well, just like being switched at birth in the hospital
Left side BBxNL Right side WW

So happy so sad. My White Widow female cutting is doing the same as the two female BBxNL did. I'm at 50% survival...That sucks.
