Pc grow - 125w cfl - auto blueberry

setup:

I don't have the exact dimensions of the case, it is roughly ~21in. height x ~24in. width x ~6in. depth. I have one exhaust fan and plenty of open holes for passive intake. Temps hopefully won't be a problem, the surrounding area isn't very hot at all. It's also pretty light proof for the most part, except on the exhast fan but the lights go off at like 11:30 pm until about 5 am...so light leaks during the dark period wont really happen.

Seeds: Lowlife's Auto Blueberry - ordered from Sensible Seeds

Soil: Miracle gro Potting Mix

Lights: 1x 125 Watt CFL (I have both 6500k and 2700k that I will switch when needed)

Nutrients: Miracle gro Bloom Booster 15-30-15 (Will be used very, very lightly about 3.5 weeks in.)

pH: General Hydroponics pH Control Kit (Liquid Drops)

Light Schedule: 19/5

Let me just say I fully understand that Miracle gro is not the best choice but it is all that's available to me right now so don't recommend to me fox farms or advanced nutrients, I know they're the best to use. Soil is soil and I figure that if i take care of them properly i should have no nut burn problems Before I put the seed in the soil, I'm going to flush it quite a bit so the plant wont burn. When putting in the soil, I tried to get as many of the little nutrient sacks out as I could.

I started this grow on 1/19/11, so today is Day 8 since i put the seed in the yellow cup straight in the soil. The sprout in the clay pot is only a day old.

The pics of the plants were taken today.

 

thanks man!

Day 9

Same old stuff, both are getting bigger by the day. The newbie in the clay pot just sprouted yesterday. Gave em some pH adjusted tap water that sit out over night. I always test to see if the soil is dry about 1 - 1.5 inches down before i water, also i read that this strain hates when its medium is dried out so i try to water every other day at least.

 

Day 10

Quick update. No water today, soil is still plenty moist.

 

Day 11

Growth seems like its picking up. I moved the yellow cup down a little so hopefully i get a little stretch so it grows above the rim of the cup.

 

Day 14

been pretty busy lately with work and school..and especially that first strike map pack lol

checked on my babies today and game them a much needed watering..this wouldve been the 3rd day without water.

 

Day 17

Took these pics last night...hate to say but i suspect we have a male among us I tried to get as close a pic as i could without it being to blurry..it looks almost exactly like this pic from another thread:



here are my pics so if anyone could confirm that'd be nice so i know for sure. Day 9 for the clay pot.

 

thanks for the input guys. i checked the under growth but nothing significant is showing yet so i guess we'll all know hopefully by tomorrow i'll try and use a better camera so you can all get a better look

 

Thank you all for your input.. if it does turn out to be a male ill salvage its pollen anyways, im just somewhat impatient

 

these are both autoflower's so theres no need to top or flip the lights to 12/12

Sure! I'm going to update in about an hour so ill snap some pics for you...my mounting job is really simpler than you might think
