Sounds like some decent strains there @Shumroom, intrigued to see how the grapefruit turns out so ill be stopping by from time to time.

Good luck

Did the dsg and blue Berry cookies! You'll love them bro. Those dsg are some tall girls so be sure to train them smaller than the cookies. If I remember right the blueberry stretched to double its flip size and the dsg 3x. 

 

 

They definetly outgrew my 2.1m height

Thanks for the stretch information @Leafneck

Alright there @Shumroom

 

Cracking start, and great strain choices you’ve picked there buddy 

 

Needless to say I’ll be grabbing a pew for this one.

 

Take it easy Jj

Apologies this time to @Dinafem-Mark, and Dinafem for attempting to rename one of their original strains 

 

I will be growing 'Sweet Deep Grapefruit', not 'deep sweet grapefruit' as I have in my header. Oops sorry Mark e Dinafem,  brainfart. 

 

@Joolz or Mark is it possible to change the title of this thread, to 'Sweet Deep Blueberry Juice, or SDG, BC and OJ' ??

Thanks if you can, sorry again if you can't.

Yeah I saw your welcome post @Gamekeeper17 

 

How long did you veg/train before flipping? 

Hope you have a good harvest too

I veged her for 5 weeks as manifolded her with alot of bending to keep her low as my lights are overkill for my set up

Update for Monday 14th of September 2020

 

Sweet Deep Grapefruit 

Orange juice

Blueberry Cookies 

 

 

 

Since breaking above the surface just 2 weeks ago, the seedlings have had a couple of sprays of Multi-mite seaweed extract, diluted at 4ml/l.

 

I have been rotating the pots daily, as the seedlings keep wanting to turn towards the Highlight 220 which is off to the side and currently running 24/7.

 

The IP68 waterproof connectors that I've ordered from 'the bay', just arrived today.

I wanna do a proper job, wiring up my 75W Quantum board from @diyleduk.

So I'll have a dimmable light source directly above the little ones, in order to minimise stress on them and so they grow nice and straight, until I tell them otherwise 

 

On Wednesday I turned the 'Highlight 220' LED light(set to roughly 70W) off for a few hours and gave the seedlings their first spray of @Intense Nutrients 'Go'.

Which is supposed to "speed up plant growth, shorten internodes and prepare plants for flowering",

It "Contains natural plant hormones, sugars and full trace element compliment",

to "DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Ready to use, apply weekly until end of first week of flower".

So we'll se how that goes 

 

Here's a couple of photos just after(in the dark, with the flash on).

 

From above

 

 

 

As well as the 'go', I have recently purchased some other Intense Nutrients products(I'll soon have almost the whole set ),

the IN 'Foundation' which, "stimulates the growth of beneficial micro-organisms within your growing medium, making your plant less susceptible to root born pathogens. Having a healthy and rapidly growing root system allows your plant to uptake the maximum amount of nutrition which will result in your plants growing much more vigorously.

This product can be used in conjunction with an organic feeding regime".

 

The recommended dose is 5ml/l, so because this is not a nutrient, but a food for the soil(It's possibly a combination of mycorrhizae and sugars with maybe some sort of tea infusion), i'm gonna start using this soon.

 

 

I have also purchased IN 'Kickstart' which "contains a full compliment of all the micro and macro elements that are crucial for a plants early development".

It recommends the following:

"Pre-soak - add 2ml per litre of water

Rooted plants – add 4ml per litre of water".

Since I already pre-soaked and watered in with 'Orca' liquid mycorrhizae and that they are in either a peat pellet(Orca) or cutting compost, which I think might have been pre-soaked with some fishmix for some weird reason(I had some fishmix that needed to go somewhere, if I recall correctly)   I will not be giving the little ones any of this until they have had quite a few plain waterings first.

 

 

A little sliver of information about each strain, from the horses mouth,

with suggested flowering time for each strain.

 

Sweet Deep Grapefruit, 55-65 days, the most Indica leaning of the bunch at 80% Indica / 20% Sativa

 

Blueberry Cookies, 55-60 days, sitting somewhere in between 60% Indica / 40% Sativa

 

Orange Juice, 63-70 days, the most Sativa leaning of these 3 strains at 30% Indica / 70% Sativa

 

If I time things with veg/bloom correctly, then my other bloom-room should hopefully be available as a drying space, so that I can take each plant when I decide is the optimum time, rather than harvesting the whole lot at the same time 

 

 

At the weekend I turned up the Highlight 220 up to 76W after watering the seedlings, just enough plain water with a tiny amount of runoff from each pot(heat from the mat will soon evaporate any excess water).

I forgot I had the Intense Nutrients 

Next time.

 

And here's how they looked a few hours ago with the QB approx 4" from seedlings at about 15W 

 

 

 

 

 

Inkbird temp controller

 

I have also turned the Highlight 220 back down a little since installing the quantum board.

Both LED lights combined about 70W.

 

I'll be keeping a close eye on the seedlings to make sure they don't stretch or burn.

 

That's pretty much all for this update.

 

If anyone else else here on UK420 has grown any of these 3 strains, please feel free to pass on any information about your experience

Thanks for reading my ramblings,

until the next update.

 

Stay safe,

and medicated as required 

 

 

Much love goes out to Dinafem _Mark
