Hey Everyone!!!

What is up my tokers?!?!

Just starting a thread to say aloha and to get some S.A.G.E. wisdom... Sorry I couldn't resist. No SAGE growing here but this is a great segue into the upcoming crop:

Now I had a few questions...

I'd love to germ at least five of the DP BB with hopes to land two solid phenos. With the remaining four spots, what would you grow? (Keeping in mind height, growing methods, etc...) What would mesh well with the blueberry?

Second, I have a John Malkovich room under the stairs that I'm planning to use. The ceiling slants down but keeping the headroom at least 6' I'm at 43" X 43". Then some extra length with continually lower height. The space is unfinished structure and my main concern is that the entire downstairs is drop ceiling, which connects to the grow space. It would have insane ventilation but would I run a bigger risk of mold/pests this way? Would you just seal the spots that leak into the ceiling area? Keep in mind that it's unfinished and I'm a bit worried that humidity would build up and mold the wood. Or lastly, would you invest in sealing everything or running a tent?

Also, for bonus points, this grow should end right around outdoor planting season. Which of the seeds above would you save for the sunshine?

 

Also a bit about myself!

Growing in a legit state w/ card. Second run around, first was Afghani bagseed and DP Durban Poison CFL closet grow. Would love to use techniques to improve yield this time, at least LST and topping.

Plan to use a 400 or 600w HPS w/ Flouros for veg - All depending on if I go with a tent No decisions on soil/nutrients yet. Will prob go all Fox Farm.

Thanks to anyone that takes the time to read and answer the questions!! Happy toking!

 

Thanks for the advice! Totally new to outdoor growing. I live in the forest so the plants will be in a "meadowish" area, no structure. So excited to see what this beautiful plant can do in its natural setting.

Anyone have input on the grow room setup?

 

Bump! Is this maybe in the wrong forum? Seeds should be here soon and I'd love some advice on choices for simultaneous strain growing and grow room setup w/ drop ceiling. Thanks again everyone!!

Edit: I'm drunk and can't spell...

 

I like that plan. The point of Blueberry (for me) is a mellow euphoric stone and TASTE! Outdoor seems perfect for both as I'm not looking to go crazy potent with said strain.

I'll try to post some pics of the grow room setup as I start vegging. Still a bit concerned about dust from the drop ceiling but I think that's the way it will stay. Smell wont be an issue and the extra ventilation may allow for a 1k hps/mh instead of a 400-600.

Thanks a ton for your input and for welcoming me to the community so kindly!

 

Going to run Roots for soil. Local hydro shop had that and both FF out to dig through. So much perlite in the Roots! Will prob run Fox Farm nutes.

The drop ceiling is like you'd see in an office building setting. It's foam but you can see that there is a space above it (about two feet) that covers the entire floor. There is a space in the top of my grow room that connects to this open area. I figured if I vented through the whole floor of my house I wouldn't need a dehumidifier and could run a bigger HPS. My concern is the crap that's built up in the ceiling over time messing w/ my flowers.

The other option is sticking a tent in the grow room or sealing it off and venting into the ceiling space.
