CKS Blueberry Grow

Lol. No. KB is the only guaranteed product that will absolutely show results. Did you read the test results of your soil kit? Do you understand why those numbers are like that?

I've never used Kool bloom. I can't say anything about it. But im.nit sure you shoud mix your bloom nutrient half way thru. But you could change up finishers and not have an issue.

I'm thinking maxibloom with bud candy for the first two weeks then adding bug buds together with maxibloom and bud candy and for the last few weeks before flush week I'll switch maxibloom with koolbloom

I don't have experience with any of your nutes except the GH ones. I've used maxiBloom alone all the way through, following the lucas method guidelines. I use Liquid and Dry koolBloom but the one you have there is the dry ripening formula which is for the final week of feeding, to be followed by your flush.
I start using the liquid koolBloom about a week after flowering gets going and ramp it up over a couple of weeks but that brings up the P and K. I usually dial back a bit once i see the tips of my leaves start to dry/burn. JUST A LITTLE BIT. Big Bud is a 'bloom booster' and I believe it competes directly with liquidKool bloom so you should be able to use that the same way.
This is what my slightly burned tips look like:

Bud Candy is a sugar/amino acid additive. Looks to be similar to FloraNectar from GH. It's not a nute per se although may have some mineral values. You should be able to use this in conjunction with the rest of your stuff.

Advanced Nutrients is one of those brands that really knows how to market well and make lots of money. They will make their products sound exceptional and magical and promise you the moon for the extra $$$ you pay for it. They'll also encourage you to use more of it in their feeding charts than most plants can tolerate so start small and learn to read your plants and ramp up safely. You don't want to go and hit it with 100% max feed strength by the recommendation and have to immediately deal with a deficiency.

Lastly, you referenced that you're on week 6 since sprout. Growth cycles aren't exact. 6 weeks doesn't necessarily mean anything except that if they've been healthy (and they do look good) then you should be starting to see preflowers. My Blueberry plants never show preflowers before flipping the lighting. I think you're safe to flip to 12/12 by the looks of your girls. The 12 hours of dark are the important ones to kick it into flower. Once you start seeing lots of bud sites showing up, then you can start with your bud booster.

I am still leaning myself, but I don't think I've dropped anything misleading here. I hope this helps.
 
@DirtManDan kudos on the shout-out and crackin up the mouse. I hadn't seen that vid til this morning and I've gotta admit, I almost spit my coffee out too. That was hilarious.

I have such a hard time taking weights at appropriate times too. It's just unreasonable to get one with ALL of the material. I had a Super Silver Haze from the summer which was such an obnoxiously huge beast but put out these super light and airy buds. I had the a couple zips in mason jars for my "personal" stash and the rest in a rubbermaid bin and the trim for BHO. I figured when it was done curing it'd be about a QP but then I neglected it. I got back to it just on Friday and it was over-dried. So I figured I'd bag it up anyway and get it squirrelled away. Tried doing the math on how much I gave away, maybe around 28gs, then about 28 more in my jars. Well the rubbermaid ended up being 17oz despite being overly dried so in the end it was around 3/4lb (maybe even a hair more) properly dried, but who's to say right?
I've been trying to decide if I want to step up my diligence and start providing better and more detailed info to the community but I just feel like while I'm learning, I don't want to be putting bad info out and leading people astray. Maybe that's just me being too self-conscious and people would appreciate watching the learning process.
 
K. Big bud is to be used weeks 2,3,4 of flower.
Bud candy can be used for the whole flowering period. Low dose. It's sugar and carbs.
MaxiBloom is used weeks 2,3,4,5,6.
KoolBloom is used weeks 6,7 only AND MUST BE USED AS DIRECTED!!! WHEN YOU USE KB YOU ARE SENDING A DEATH SIGNAL TO YOUR PLANT. THEY WILL THINK THEY ARE ABOUT TO DIE AND TRY TO PROCREATE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE. USE 1/4 tsp. PER GALLON OF WATER FOR TWO WEEKS. NO MORE, NO LESS.
Flush for 2 weeks after KB and you're ready for harvest.

You guys are awesome couldn't ask for better advise. I'm stopping by my local hydroponics store in a little to grab some cloning supplies I need. And might grab a bottle of liquid KB

Cloning?
I'm building a clone machine as we speak.
Here's the build I'm using.

I had no idea he was even gonna shout me out. I was sitting there in shock for a min. But when I went back. Yeah it was pretty noob of me. Considering I used to be a wedding photographer. Lol. In my defense. The video was shot with my go pro. Not my 5d.

If I had to make a guess. I'd say I had a zip. Maybe a tad more. I have a high tolerance and I'm really not impressed with it. So that's why I gave a bunch away. It taste and smells very light. Does not smell like bud at all.

Hopefully this run turns out better with the new lights. ANNNNNNDDDDD. I decided to ditch the Lucas formula. I'm gonna be running the Canna Terra line. It's only my first time working with this. But it's a much more pleasant and cleaner looking solution your giving the plants. I anticipate great results.


So I had no idea this little grow thread of mine would gain so much steam. I'm really glad you all enjoyed what I was/am doing. It makes me happy to see somehow I can inspire others to do better. By doing what I like and learning more about it along the way.

OK stoned rant over. Here's today's journal entry

I'm sorry in advance. But I have to rant....

So I live in an apartment. That is really a house partition off into two separate living areas. I live on the back side. And my landlord lives on the front. This guy is such a pussy. He let his girlfriend's entire family move in and use the address as their own. Mom dad sister and girlfriend. Which is fine if you can help someone out in a tough spot. Well it's been 3 years since then and after stealing over 1200 in cash from his safe, they are no where to be found. Except the shit bag girlfriend that won't leave. Or he won't kick out.
BUT everyone is still registered to the address. So according to any official place. That family lives here. Not me and the home owner.
Well the mother of said girlfriend has multiple arrest warrants in several places near the house. This is her only registered address. So I've had the cops pounding on my door every other day for the last week or so. And they said they are coming back with a warrant to search the house. GREAT JUST WHAT I WANTED.
So needless to say I called the courts issuing the warrants. As did the landlord. But I have a feeling the boys in blue will be back to kick my front door in.
So I've had to keep the clones locked up in the trunk of my car at night. And today the boys were supposed to get their warrant. So I had to bring the clones with me and leave them on the dash of the car for some sunlight.

I'd really like to go put my foot in someones mouth for this. I've been a kickboxer for the last 3 years. So it sound go right where I want it. Dam dirt bags can't pay their fines and making my fucking life difficult. Really.makes me wanna knock some teeth loose. . . .

That sucks bro. Can't you get legal? I had the cops show up once. Once. I showed them all the paperwork and the plants and they still wanted to rummage through my house and act like bully cops. What they didn't know is a) I have cameras everywhere and b) when they pulled up I called my lawyer and put him on speakerphone. He sat quietly listening to them intimidate me and when the main bully cop said he didn't care about the paperwork and he was going to tear down my Grow and take me to jail my lawyer spoke up and said "I wouldn't do that if I were you". The cop said "who the fuck is this?" And then my lawyer introduced himself.
Cops all turned fucking white.
Haven't been back since.
I sent the video to the RCMP internal investigations unit.

If you're in Canada I highly recommend attorney Eric Nash. He specializes in Cannabis law.

Na. Im in the states. Where the boys love to bully. And my state isn't legal. But it's decimalized. There is a medical but noting in place.

Dirt Man Dan
 
The landlord claims he took care of it. But we'll see about that. Everything not legal is not in the house. But it's just extremely aggravating that I have to do all this. Because of someone else's stupidity. I'm an intelligent person and I know how to keep my ass out of sight.

Fucking cops. Internet bullies of the real world. They hide behind their badges, most of them are borderline psychopaths. Sad thing is...psychological studies reveal that more than 70% of cops get the same euphoric pleasure from bullying that we do from smoking a fatty.
Abusing others actually gets them high.
It's pretty twisted shit.
