It's been a while since I've posted on here. I'm very happy with these blueberries. I've done a lot of experimenting this round with lighting and Flushing and I was very surprised with my results. I'm growing in promix using the advanced nutrients lineup. I'm using 2 400w HPS and 2 300 watt galaxyhydro blurple and 3 36watt blurple spotlights. Around 1100 actual watts from the wall. I'm no expert this is only my third grow. I'll be happy with anywhere from 12 to 20 oz. I'm growing in my closet in my mobile home so it's tight. 2.5ftX8ft. Any questions just ask any criticism is respectfully considered any smart-ass comments will get a smartass answer. Thanks happy growing

Looks great! What type of training did you do and how long did you veg for? 5 gallon fabric pots? Are these clones or grown from seed? If so, which breeder?

Have any of you ever done Blueberry ,by Dutch Passion.
I bought a pack of these years ago ,turned into a disaster. Dropped the seeds could only find a few, when I had a out door garden ,the ones I did find I had stood on,3 looked ok, all 3 germinated.But I only kept one ,I left this with my dad while on holiday and he never fed it killed my girl,i was gutted ,love how it looks on there site, that dark Purple with blue Hues,I would like to try this again ,Done Flying Dutchmans Blueberry, that was nothing like blueberry more like Skunk.So be great to hear of anyone who has done it.I have a friend with a farm, now you got me thinking mobile home ,on farm land .mmmmmmmmmmmm

When I say original bb I mean to my knowledge it's not bred with any other strain it's just labeled Blueberry from the breeder which is MSNL.com. Now I do realize there's a chance it's been mixed with something down the line like most strains these days but the breeder says it hasn't and I'll say this its a strong blueberry smell. As far as I Know DJ Short created the strain now how msnl got it & what's been mixed with it who knows lol. The Buds are huge for week 5. I feed different then most I saw it from a pro who uses advanced nutrients and he gets 3lbs a light. 1\2feed 1\2feed flush.. Every week. It's working great for me in fact I did it on 2\4 plants and it's the 2 that has way fatter Buds.

I have some beans of this, done a few of there strains ,did there Jack Herer a few grows ago ,very nice it was too, but I am not sure why, but there Feminized version of it is far better than the reg version,I had 3 different Phenos of it ,but I grew all 3 and there was one that was pretty nice, One thing I can say about MSNL,is there Og Kush,i would not do that for free,Thc Snow, is what I think is there best strain, love that one if you get the real frosty pheno.Great medically strain ,brilliant for sleep problems .

Looking good bro. Whos the breeder? I dont see why you wouldnt hit 20ozs
Easy 20 oz there, if you look at the plant on its own, some weight on that great job dude ,your gonna have a shock when you weigh this when its dry dude, gonna be some nice weight .Dry prune them if I was you ,too much is wasted wet pruning ,Save all the leaf and make hash from it .If every plant is like that last one I say you get about 5 dry from each one, so your really under estimating what you have grown here .Looks very nice too, needs a bit longer though ,these final weeks are most important for weight.

Thank you I appreciate that I just take it pretty serious and I don't like to do anything half-assed. I stay on top of everything I feel like there's about five major categories it's like the spokes on a wheel you need all of them to keep the wheel going properly. I'm very surprised with these buds they are dense and shooting out white hairs everyday. I like to underestimated so I'm not disappointed. The two that I tried the new feeding schedule with are just crazy big buds and I'm wondering if flushing once a week really makes that kind of difference. What do y'all think about Flushing in soiless?

What exactly do you mean by 1\2 feed 1\2 feed flush? Forgive me if it's obvious, but I need more information to better understand what you mean. Sounds interesting. Beautiful ladies! Do they know you are posting pics of them on the internet to strangers? :D :D :D

Sorry I should have explained that a little better. I don't know about other brands I've only seen this done with Advanced Nutrients but I imagine is pretty much the same. Say the nutrients cause for 16 ml of Base and 8 ml of micronutrients that's supposed to be over the course of a week. With Pro mix I usually what are three times a week like clockwork so the first time I'll give it 8 milliliters of base and 4 mL of micronutrients I'll repeat that the second time that week and for the last I flush with pH water the next week I start over with whatever that week calls for.

Ahh, I understand. So you split the feeding up over the week then just water it with straight water? Or a full blown flush? I can't say I've read about anyone doing that except you, but hey, if you are seeing direct evidence that it works, why stop? The only thing I can think of is that it keeps salt build up to a minimum, minimizing nutrient lockout, maintains pH, and provides plenty of oxygen to the roots. I'm surprised you aren't experiencing symptoms of overwatering though. My plants tend to be ready for a water every 4 days or so, but I'm extra careful about overwatering. You would have to water what, every 2 days the method you are talking about? That seems like a lot to me, but I have 7 gallon containers.

Dude those plants look great, he will still hit 5 per plant going on last picture dry, if he cut the flushing out and let the feed this dude would be producing top Weights

From the pictures and based of what he said, the ones he is flushing weekly are the ones that are the biggest. He isn't flushing all of them weekly, just a few, and they seem to be out-performing the others.

I would do what I'm doing ,for the area he is growing in ,and to say its new to him ,just continue.never try repairing something that ain't broke .

It's because it's promix I guess ive never seen any signs of over watering when I flush it runs right through it. In fact I set it in my sink and just leave the faucet running lol. I think it's bc every week or so during flowering it needs certain nutrients at certain ratios and by flushing all the previous weeks nutrients out it's allowing for her to get what she needs when she needs it. Then again I don't have a PhD in weed growing lol. There almost done I'm pulling this weekend I'll post pics they look great imo
