InTheSystem Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) So a couple of weeks back I received the Blueberry Cookies seeds - I was actually down for testing the Wedding Cake release and due to some delays with them getting the release out, @Dinafem-Mark was kind enough to offer a replacement strain to do - so thanks Mark and Dinafem! I am already following some great diaries of growers running this strain currently, so I know the genetics will perform and have some nice references to aid me into the unknown... I have never run a photo period Cookie strain before, but have run Blueberry from cuts a couple of years - so this will be a lot of fun! This diary I feel is a little similar starting out to my “Sweet Like Chocolate” diary over in the HSO section, so if you would like to know further details on equipment, environment, nutrients in detail - I would encourage you to check that out Strain Info: - 60% Indica / 40% Sativa - Blueberry x Girl Scout Cookies - 55-60 days - 18% THC I only germinated 3 beans as my tents are a little full at the moment with Dinafem autos, seedlings and cuts for the next couple of weeks. Seeds were germinated with the 'cup n water' method for around 18-24 hours and then sowed straight into coco coir. After the first true leaves formed I put them on 200ppm (0.5 scale) of cal-mag and cyco base nutrients and a few days later added House & Garden Roots Excelurator. They are being grown under a 150w Scope LED light (DiyLedUK) which is set 24" from the plants dimmed to around 100w after starting out at 60w 18" away. Only 2/3 seeds made it, but it is no issue at all. I can pop the other 2, take clones or whatever.. I have got out of the habit of trigger popping seeds and ending up with plants everywhere once they start to grow.. Live and learn as I get older... Apparently 9 days from germination The H&G doing it's magic on the roots also: I will transplant them up tomorrow and check back in - just been a bit busy with various bits and bobs. Cheers ps. Sorry, just had to be done: Edited June 25, 2019 by InTheSystem 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Badgeley Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 @InTheSystem Looking forward to follow this. I am also using the scope 150 and I've dimmed it down to the minimum for the babies. I am potting up as soon as I get my watt meter and upping the wattage accordingly. Best wishes for this grow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the good vibes mate. I found 18" at min wattage is optimum for babies or they will stretch for the light if any further away. After a week or so I nudged it up to 24" and increased the wattage. They have 840w of strips to go under when they eventually get into the flower tent: It is my first run from seed/clones to harvest with a full LED setup, so feel free to voice any opinions or advice you have from using the Scope also 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of interest, what size pot are they in? Are they in their finals and what height and wattage is your scope?

I have a lot of space to fill in flower and a few strains going on so there will be some decision making that needs to be made. Typically, I would go for a 21 cycle after pre veg and pot up again to 11l pots which would the finals.. But nothing is set in stone - I am winging it simply ref LED - wattage started at 60w hung 18" above pots. Adjusted now to 24" and 100 watts - will crank it up to 150w in a week.

Larry Badgeley Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 @InTheSystemGreat thanks for the info brother. As you will see I am very limited for height (140cm) so what I am planning is 6.5 ltr finals. I have my girls on 20/4 in small pots. I might pot up into a bit bigger then the finals. I am just using a smidge of water and some root juice. They will be fimmed and trained to reduce the height. It might get a bit crowded in there but I have options Looking forward to see how these LED's work though. I am a loft grower and (for us) it has been a tad warm but the temps inside the tent are spot on. I live in an old stone cottage so it's cool as inside. Keep updating my friend and I look forward to seeing the results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
