New Grower Auto Berry Ryder questions!

I was following, incorrectly I might add, a nutrient schedule designed for regular photo weed plants. I swung the nutrients over to bloom in the third week when I saw a bunch of the pistols starting to pile up. The nutrient scheudle from the FloraDuo has you transition from veg nutes to flower nutes gradually over a few weeks. I most likely under fed them a bit during their veg and started the transistion a week sooner than I should have but the plants seem to be rocking along.

Trying to keep that ph steady at 5.8-5.9 for the bloom phase but it's a challenge with the rate they use water. Within three days the buckets will have been completely emptied if I didn't top off with ph'd water. I am trying a complete bucket refresh now every three days unless I see some signs of stress. I hope this won't hurt them. But just giving them nutrients essentialy once a week with only ph'd water being added seems like I will under feed them. Gah! Should I stick with the three day schedule?
 
Day 53 for berry ryders.As you can see they progress at a different level. 001.jpg(most advanced)003.jpg(medium flowering)002.jpg(tiny flowers)
I as well was under feeding mine for the first few weeks.I read the instructions wrong on the nute's.OPPS, But i dont think it messed them up that much!
 
The one i have with the biggest bud might be done in 70 days.It has some nice trichromes.It also has begun to take on a fruity berry smell! Next time i will just do royal queens bluematic.Berry ryder are to big and they look like they are gonna take longer.But i will say they are gonna yield.I would say yours will yield more.Mine are in tight quarters and dont get much light to lower branches.All my main colas are gona be 10-12 + inches long and most likely fat like a hairspray can! I am about a week ahead of you so i will keep you posted.Keep up the swell work!!
 
Day 45 for my Auto Berry Ryders.

View attachment 177027 View attachment 177028 Forming Buds : View attachment 177029 So far so good here. No way in hell these will be ready on day 60.

BEAUTIFUL! Can you explain how you got your plant to turn into a blue/purple hue? I would appreciate it!

General question to the public!
Also I would like to know if the high from the Berry Ryder is a good high? Is it dank bud, or would it be considered shwag (shit) bud? Basically is the type of bud you would buy to smoke? Explain reasons why

I think the blue you see in the picture is a trick from the LED lights/HPS light above. It gives my poor phone camera fits. BUT! If you want that blue color you might see on the pictures from the seed banks you have to play with its night time temperatures. I read somewhere you are shooting for the mid to low 60's? Something like that or a bit lower most likely. They are supposed to be hardy to take the cooler temps. Being my first grow I'm just shooting for smoke... any color will do!

As for the quality of the bud, From the pictures it looks like quality dank but I've not tried it. I think we have all been fooled before though on bud that looked like it was top quality only to find out that looks are only skin deep as they say. I will post a smoke report of sorts when it finishes up here.

I'm going with Midman4u's posts earlier about this taking longer than the advertised 60 days. I'm gonna guess now and ball park an extra 3-4 weeks total to let it completely fatten up but I guess time will tell.

Thanks all!
 
Some Day 50 Shots of the Ladies along with a random pic of a side branch. They are getting all kinds of frosty. I brushed the cola against a power wire above it while moving it from pot to pot. That power wire got coated with a sticky goo! Still no strong odor of any sort but hopefully as the buds fatten up that changes.

006.jpglookin good Here are 2 quick pics at day 57008.jpgSeeing how fat my colas are getting.I cant imagine how much bud you are gonna get off the one in picture #2 , it gonna be alot!
 
They will turn very sexy blusih purple at time of finish ...I had one almost exactly like the picture was my smallest yeild out of the 4 ...
In the closing weeks she will become the most beautiful plant I've seen but only in the last 10 days will she truely color ....and I would give them closer to 85-90 ...
That will be BERRYLICIOUS IMOP ...

What a beast tho ....and as for tiny buds those explode too and will become very satisfying nuggs don't worry m..she blows fast when finishing
