So yeh im sorry i've been slacking... Work has been keeping me busy so i haven't had much time to update my journal so here is some lengthy mumbo jumbo for your ear holes.

PH levels.
Blackberry 1 - 6.7
Blackberry 2 - 6.8 (Topped for 4 Colas)
Blackberry 3 - 6.7 (FIM'd)
Blackberry 4 - 6.8
White Castle - 6.6

Just watered them tonight. Recently noticed gnats so i've been using gnatrol and no flier strips around the tent, seems to be working.

Any way... Here are the ladies :bigjoint:


ENJOY!

eeeek its been quite awhile since updating but they are coming along quite nicely :). New job tends to make me just come home take care of my girls and pass out... Anyways had a slight deficiency in the Topped blackberry but I corrected it unfortunately to late to keep some leaves looking pretty but Bud production has not seemed to slow down one bit. Other than that some of the first pistils are browning and I can see new ones being produced. Only a few more weeks now!!!

Here they are

Dude blackberry is amazing... I'm a first timer and its been very well behaved with my noob mistakes. I mean yeh i think i may have stunted them a small amount but i dunno. Whats amazing though is my Grandmother used to make this blackberry & honey Pie when i was younger and every time i open my tent its like walking into grandma's house :)

Growing isn't criminal, It's therapeutic!

Excellent job! So far, I'd be giving yourself a big ole pat on the back for these! On the last set of pics ya posted, is that a web I see? I hope not. Have you had any "invaders" in your tent? Spiders or anything?

Well they seem to be getting along... The topped blackberry is requiring intense nutes and its been hard to catch her up so some of her leaves have yellowed but bud formation seems to be on track. I've had to start tying some of them as well because some of the buds are becoming to heavy for their own branches o_O...

For those of you just joining the party... These girls are all being kept in a 3x3x6 tent with a 400w mh/hps ballast, Cooltube with Hortilux bulbs, 275cfm inline fan w/ carbon filter, Humidifier (used primarily during seedling & veg and early flowering).

They are all in 5 gallon buckets of FFOF and being fed with the FF Nute Line and Soluble Line. The pH of the soil has fluctuated throughout this grow from 6.1 to 6.9 but averaging 6.5-6.8 between feedings.

Anywho here they are. =)

Just caught up with your grow, Discord. I have a very similar setup myself. Same size tent, lights, nutes, etc. Your grow is looking great so far. Can't wait to see how it turns out in the end. Def subscribed.

Nice grow! Wish I was as successful with mine when I start it in a couple of weeks. Just waiting until we move at the end of the month. I've a quick question; what are the light / dark cycles supposed to be like, meaning turning off the lights at night, how long etc., this will be my first grow, so I'm a noob. How many hours with lights on and how many with lights off? I've read the entire post but I don't think I saw any mention of it. Peace.
