Hi, nice plants. I am on my 1st ever grow with 4 blueberry plants in a 4x4 using 600w hps I have scrogged and trained and lollypopped and I'm thinking of splitting stems, Did you see any difference/benefit on the split stem plant?
Thanks

I haven't commented on the stem split yet as I am waiting for this last harvest to dry. I want to compare the plant I split to the one I didn't before I say anything but I'll let you know asap!

Thanks for asking

Flower tent 1, next up for harvest.
I dropped the temp in this tent by a few degrees, 10 days ago.
3 of the 4 have started putting on real weight now.
1 hash plant looks a little slower.
They've just had their first flush and the leaves are starting to yellow.
Rain water from here on out.

Damn they are getting beefy.. looks great man. What were your night temps when you dropped the temp? Or did you drop it a couple degrees the whole day? What day of flower are they in too?

A few bud pics during the chop today.

Buds cut and trimmed, including popcorn buds.
I'll have to go buy a drying rack tomorrow, lol.

2nd blueberry harvested.
391.6 grams wet weight
78.3 grams dry estimate
2.8oz

Bet you're close to dead on with the final weight estimate. I tend to go by 20% myself. Looks delicious!

Thanks, I'm hoping they bulk up some more but they are looking pretty good.

During the day my temps range from 73-78 degrees.
At night normally, a low of 68.

I dropped the temps at night by 3 degrees hitting a low of 65 to try to promote a little color.

These girls started to show flowers feb 19th. A week after flip. So we are in the middle of week 8.

Cheers!

Agreed it usually is very close at 20%.
And yes they are delicious!

And my wish comes true!
Although these aren't finished yet, they are bulking up and are starting to give us some color!

First two photos were out of the tent.
The last photo was taken in tent, with my iPhone through led glasses.
Pretty none the less

Ok so harvest day!
I love chopping em down, cutting em up a couple seeds I threw in for my brother. Same yield on them as last time. These one seemed to go to flower a little early, but here they are.
I doubt I'll grow autos again, I like a little more control

2x Fastbuds GSC Autos
They are very sticky and smell delicious!
Wet weight: 145.3 and 142.8
Dry, about 3oz I expect.

I can hardly wait, and I probably won't.

Ok smoke em if you got em, if not I always have a few rolled
I need to say...
For the first time ever, I have been able to dry my harvest without needing to pinch out of it! It's in jars
Thank you, thank you very much.

The dry weight of the two Fastbuds GSC autos is 75grams.
Why is this at all interesting?

Previously I had grown this strain and I had topped them. Harvest was one plant/one ounce.
These two autos were not topped.
I just let them do their thing.
1.5 ounces each.
What does this mean?
Nothing.
Just saying
Booyah!

Here's today's pic of the color that we are getting now. I placed an early flower hash plant in behind so you have something to compare to. No parlor tricks

In addition to the above, I also have lowered water temps by about 5 degrees FYI.

Everything else is coming right along
Any day now I'll be posting before and after harvest pics of the GSC and hash plants! They are mid week 9.

Thanks Pennywise, Stunning is the perfect word here! I didn't think that Id get that kind of color out of these.

Be nice to get cuttings

Be nice to get cuttings

I have some cuttings growing.
In fact most of the next 3 harvests, will be from these plants

 

[Pennywise]

Good job, those are nice to look at for sure

I cut down one CaliConnection GSC and one CKS Hash Plant today.
Lots of nice colas hanging to dry

So sorry I haven't had a lot of time lately and I know I've been neglecting my journal. My plants too I think
