Indoor Zambeza Blue Brilliant Photoperiod Grow

[Mañ'O'Green]

Dang..... the Blue Brilliant in the back is still stretching; she is 53" / 135 cm now. If she does not stop I am going to have to supercrop her!

Day 56 update:

They are doing awesome. I think I am going to have to supercrop the Zambeza Blue Brilliant in the back. She is about 46"/117cm tall now. I cannot raise the lights on that side of the space any higher because of the filter can. I don't think Zambeza gets the attention they deserve. Their Blueberry Auto is the finest strain I have ever grown and this Blue Brilliant is really performing well. The sativa looking pheno is shorter but is doing ok. Remember that there is 24"s below the net you see in the pictures with a second support screen.

Well I had to do it today I supercropped the two tallest colas on the rear Blue Brilliant.

Flower day 22, Day 59 update:

The 3 week flowers look right on schedule. I should have flipped to 12/12 a week sooner at 12" tall instead of 16"; these girls have more than tripled in height at over 50" tall. I had to get up on a step stool to take the overhead pictures. I still have 5 or 6 weeks to go. I will plant some really fast autos to get back on schedule for the second leg. So far these plants Heavyweight Monster Profit and Zambeza Blue Brilliants have been easy to grow and they like the H&G nutrients at full strength on the H&G feed chart. I had to supercrop the Blue Brilliant in the rear when she reached almost 60". I cannot raise the lights on that side of the space any higher due to the filter can. I may try to rework the filter's position in the future. The Blue Brilliants are on the right side.

I want to show people why you should not give up on the slow different looking plants. The front Blue Brilliant is a different pheno than the rear one; it was slower and had some kind of nutrient uptake problem early in its life. I does not tolerate as high of nutrients as the other but look at the frost developing on this plant compared to the second best bud in the space!

Day 63, Flower Day 27:

The Blue Brilliants are looking good. I want to leave that tall cola alone but it keeps inching toward the light? The front slower Pheno is looking frostier than any of the other plants in the grow. Look at previous post. I cannot wait to try this strain because the Zambeza Blueberry Auto is the strongest best smelling and tasting plant I have ever grown and this plant has that same genetics in it. My next grow will either be Wild Thailand and Kilimanjaro or Zambeza Blueberry Auto, Heavyweight Short and Sweet and Dinamed CBD Auto. I am vacillating between the two grows. It gets really hot here in the summer months and the Wild Thailand and Kilimanjaro are both equatorial jungle type plants that can handle the high heat without problems. so I am leaning that way. I have an old Panama Red seed that I may throw into that mix but not sure it will germinate. Anyhow here are some pictures of the Blue Brilliants:

Day 71 Flower Day 34: Update:

The front Blue Brilliant is showing signs of Cal-Mag Deficiency again even though she is getting full strength nutrients. She has a genetic problem utilizing what is there. The other five plants in the grow are happy as could be. The BB in the rear is the biggest plant in the grow and has the biggest colas growing. The aroma in the tent is amazing now.
