This will be the first time I have grown the same thing twice, harvested a plant this January at just over 110gr. The smell was blueberry and the yeild was great (for me), not the strongest smoke and I think I can do better with the taste. I enjoyed the last grow and I have a new nute to try, microbrew and cha-ching. Set up is the same, ufo135w 7band for veg and a mars 100x3 for flower. I have added some more help.

Hi Virginia :)

Sounds like your hooked :D there is nothing quite like growing your own stone.

I love me some berry flavors and with so many berry strains out there, I am wondering which berry strain you are growing/have grown?

Beautiful dog there mate are they some kind of Collie?

let us know if you need a hand with anything and we will do our best to help you out.

Happy growing bud

Arty
 
Thanks, I have only grown this one kind but for my next seed order I was thinking Ministry of Cannabis blueberry domina. The two are shelties and the one in the grass is my 1 year old aussie. I have been smoking pot for 50 years, mostly brown shit with seeds and stems, until I joined AFN. Hooked hell, I'm in love.
 
Day 10 and a small problem needed attention, the ufo135w led lost half its' lights. About a dozen little lights were burned so I have replaced the light with my Mars 100x3 for the rest of the grow. I thought the growth was poor after 5 days when I gave the plant a 500ml drink at day 5. Today the plant got 1500ml of 5ml/gal cal/mag grow (4-0-0) and a half cap of superthrive at 6.6ph. I had to turn off the t5s' for temp reasons and will finish the grow with just the led. The agromax led was 3years and 3months old (came as part of a "deal") and in use almost the whole time so I guess no complaints, I just won't buy dumb again. I was going to get the MarsII 400 for my next light this fall but now I don't think I will wait.

Day 14 and I gave her a gallon of 5ml grow big, 10ml big bloom and 10ml kangaroots at 6.5ph. I don't think the plant lost too much growth due to the ufo135w led being half off, anyway she likes the Mars led for sure. Right now she is only about 3in tall, I have the led light a 24in and two t5's (grow spectrum) at 20/4 on for now, tent temps 76-81f, rh 50-54%. The tent is only 6sqft so the Mars 100x3 should give me about 30w/sqft of actual light and if I keep an open structure the light should get deep into the interior of the plant, I guess. What I am saying is my budget (wife) said light or filters, not both and if I don't control the smell....

Day 18 and I gave her 2gals of 5ml/gal cal/mag grow and a half cap of superthrive at 6.6ph. The color and vertical growth didn't look quite right so I checked with my acturate 8 and once again I have different ph at different soil levels. I just can't seem to start off right with 5gal airpots, anyway vertical growth may not be what I want but the spread is going well.

Day 24 and vertical growth is picking up and the soil ph is 6.5 bottom to top, for now. Gave her 1.5 gallons of 5ml grow big, 20ml big bloom and 10ml microb brew at 6.5ph. The buds are forming well and I expect a good reaction to the microb brew and the even soil ph.

Day 27 and I gave 1.75 gallons (7qts) of 5ml cal/mag grow and a half cap of supethrive at 6.6ph. Vertical growth is good and the plant is almost 13in tall and the stem should support some good growth over the next 10-14 days. The bud sites are looking nice and the plants color is also good.

Day 30 and this girl is going thru some water/nutes now, gave 2gal of 5ml grow big, 30ml big bloom and 10ml kangaroots at 6.5ph. Growth is good, plant now just over 15in, and compares well with the other bluematic I grew this January. This plant is almost two inches shorter than the first plant I grew at this point. The other plant was about 37 days when vertical growth stopped, about 28in, anything over 24in will make me happy.
