Dwc auto blueberry led

I have started my first grow in dwc as well as first auto and led. So needless to say this grow is purely experimental to learn from. All the flowers look good but seem to be taking a long time and not sure why. I have Three 5 gal buckets, GH Nutes, 75l/hr air pump, 600w LED from mars hydro. I started with the seeds at different depths just to see how they grow. It started out looking like they way a week apart from each other. ( I germed at same time using paper towel method before putting in rockwhool cubes). I started the grow on the first of the year. The one got big fast then seemed to stop while the other two seemed to go at a steady pace. The other two started showing sex a month after sprouting and the big bush showed little hairs coming through but not as pronounced as the other two. Roots look really good and plants look good so I am letting them go but wanted to get input on the grow since I am a noob at all of this. Some say I should have stuck with photo period, soil and HID but I like to be different hahahaha. I will post pics but here is the entire grow info....... 20/4 lights sched, 2 gal water per bucket, PH 5.9-6,1. Using R.O water. Using GH Flora Series Expert re-circulation feeding Sched cut in half. The are bubble buckets. Was over feeding them as they was a dark green color and started to grow a little crazy but still looked good so thats when I cut back and now they have nice color. Will post pics soon. I was hoping to see buds already since I started on the first but nothing yet allthough the one looks like it may start budding so idk. Thanks and Happy Growing!!

Hey there. How is this grow going? I planted my Auto BB's on March 2nd and checked on them after work last night and one is flowering...seems crazy fast and much sooner than my Auto NL's. I start all the babies in a large aquarium under a 6500k shop light and have just a simple humidifier in the tank to keep it stable. I guess it's kind of like an ICU :) I transplanted last weekend into 3 gallon cloth buckets moved them into the veg area and bam.....flower in less than a week. My nutes are pretty simple....I've been experimenting with coconut water and fed them Sunday when I transplanted. I supplement molasses for the calcium and magnesium....plants seem to like it. Anyway....I'd love to hear where you are at with these!

Hey, they are going good. still think its pretty slow for an auto, but still faster than photo lol. I been playing around with different things like air temp and nuts. I dont care for the GH nuts im using as this is the third grow with them and they just dont seem to produce big yields. Im going to try AN PH perfect sensi next. Been hearing good things about that. My BB def did not flower that fast but it could also be the seed company 420. First time using them. It looks great and has a nice aroma to it. Cola is getting purple like crazy. I found they love the temp to be between 68-72 as when i leave them at that temp they produce "crystals" like crazy. Had to kill one but other two are doing great. Will be pulling one in about a week as its about 60 percent orange hairs but the other seems to be about a week or two behind as it has no orange hairs yet. I thought about using molasses but was afraid it would clog my air stones. I post updated pics in a min so you can see them.

Final weight Flower 1 had a dry weight of 29.7 and my runt flower 2, which took off like crazy, has a dry weight (slightly over dry :( ) of 37.4g. So my runt was the winner but got some good techniques for my next grow which is what I wanted. This was all a trial n error grow. Will post pics later. If anyone has questions hit me up and ill be glad to help where I can. Happy Token :volcano-smiley:
