CFL Blackberry Indica/Sativa (Pics)

[chimmycham]

blackberry is the next strain im growing. i have 5 feminized seeds. I'm looking VERY forward to it.

question:
Are you going to lower your temperatures for the last 2 weeks to 40-50 degrees F?

If you don't you will get mauve colored buds. IF you do you will get DEEP purple buds.

Lol so i made a makeshift greenhouse for the plant outside....It's pretty hilarious....I couldn't buy much wood so carrying it through the woods I'll look like a damn ghost, aaahahaha...probably should have assembled on-site..oops..

Ok well, since I've been being lazy, here are some updates

The pollen I've been collecting:

The Male plant is starting to turn purple...just saw it today when I went to pluck more sacs..was like 'woa, not expecting that...'..haha forgot I bought Blackberry for a little while there ;p

Aaand my ridiculous greenhouse, haha...

You cant see them but there are horizontal 1ft beams on the bottom of those two verticles on the sides of the bin...I made it a bit smaller than the bin so it sort of clings to it, but I think I will also drill/tape it onto it when I get it out there.

I am definitely dreading having to water this girl out there...At least it will also protect against the animals.

wow that shit looks crazy

Awesome greenhouse!! Like u said.It's not about the size of the dog in the fight, it's about the size of the fight in the dog.

Ok so...Sorry for the late update but I don't have cable/internet anymore. Took me a while to get a wifi cracker from a friend of mine...
So, the one indoors has some kind of problem. I assumed it was Phosphorous deficiency because after moving it indoors it lost the Vigoro supplements. Now that I've added the FoxFarm nutes the light green-ness is going away. I also think I have mites, because of the eaten away leaves and small white spots, so I sprayed the leaves down.
Plant a couple of days ago:

And today...

(Was walking through the kitchen to put the spray back outside, and I found some inspiration on the ceilings... )

^^ You can see some of the leaves turning purple, there.

Those ladybugs?

 

[kaiserAxel]

Those ladybugs?

-_-

...
yes, ladybugs, lol

 

[Fditty00]

Thats crazy! Im subscribed to 2 journals and both of them were talkin about ladybugs. I was tellin the other guy to buy a Praying Mantis. My pops used to use them back in the day. Cool videos of them on weed plants on youtube..

 

[kaiserAxel]

Well, lady bugs suck. Lmao..they are retarded. Out of the 15 or so I had collected around my house, only 3 haven't killed themselves in the CFLs -_-

 

["SICC"]

LOL

hope the plants do ok, i dont see any signs of mites, but they do look nute burned, i would try to flush the soil and use a lower dose

 

[kaiserAxel]

So you think nute burn? The problem started when I began to use plain water, and now it is going away as I put FF bloom in the water, dunno. I think the pellets of Vigoro are gone since I transfered, so there were hardly any nutes, I'll try a flush though, can't really hurt it...This grow is gonna take a while -_- I'm thinking another 20-30 days...

 

[Knickers]

Wow dude loving the story. Can't wait to see the end results, and feeling that blackberry colour so much I think I'll try to buy some.

 

[Fditty00]

i never did ask. How is the odor on those?

 

[kaiserAxel]

I think it's nice, not to strong though, yet

 

[kaiserAxel]

Ok so, I went and checked on the outdoor girl today and she is fucking healthy as can be. To say the least, I'm a bit pissed off. I would have thought the one indoor would be healther due to not being fucking freezing...but no...The biggest change I can think of is the fact that I changed from the Vigoro to the FF water nutes, and I'm using tap water instead of rainwater....So I put Vigoro into the soil indoors and I will water with tap that has been let out to de-chlorinate
