dinafem Sweet Deep Blueberry Juice, or SDG, BC and OJ

[trichomehi]

I can say that the blueberry cookies are a fairly easy strain to grow under hps, growing this strain first time at moment as you know under led, looks like i'm 5wks ahead, plant stays compact fairly open canopy without having to manipulate, already under led's i'm having to remove shade leaves, there growing more compact under leds also, they take a bit longer to start showing flower growth than most other strains I've grown, this seems to be holding true under leds also, probably strain related.. good luck be interested to see how they develop....

Thanks for the details 

much appreciated.

Tidy detailed start dude and nice clean set up  

 

I grew a single SDG in a multi strain grow, it's in the 2017-2018 section. For some reason I never finished the diary with a smoke report but there might be some info in there you might find useful. Be ready for some nice dense fat cola tops with plenty of chunky buds further down the colas. The high was a fuzzy buzz for me which I wasn't keen on tbh but that's subjective, my mates liked it  I would grow it again though hoping for a different pheno in a different environment. The taste was good.

 

Had my eye on the Blueberry Cookies for a while now but not got around to it yet, so I'll look forward to see yours grown out.

 

All the best

Thanks very much for you kind words  

Lets see if I can keep it this way.

 

I have found the diary you've referred to,

I'll check it out when I get a chance and see if I can pick up any tips 

 

[Shumroom]

Apologies for the delay to update,

I'll try and get it done today if I can

Update for 25th September 2020

 

 

 

Again apologies for the delay.

 

It's been a hectic time,

I'm sure not just for me.

 

 

Let's just begin with some photos from just after the last update.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thing have been moving along pretty smoothly with the seedlings.

 

As you can see from the photos,

I've got the temperature sensor for the Inkbird heat controller in the runt pot,

keeping those roots all nice and cosy,

between 22-25C.

 

I have increased the distance from the 75W quantum board ( @diyleduk  ),

to the pots(by adjusting the shelf height) since sprouting,

which is so easy to do with this tent.

 

I just lowered the shelf which they sit on by about 5-6cm,

next time I'll raise the shelf that the light is hanging from a little bit.

 

I am really very pleased with the quality and well thought out design of this Homebox tent 

 

As you can see from the photos below,

all but the runt of the litter have gained quite a bit in stature already(even the BC runt is coming along)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At this stage I have been adjusting the power of the LED a little here and there,

in order to keep those node spacing nice and close(from about 12W now up to 18W).

 

There is also a highlight 220(also purchased from DILYLEDUK) 

Currently running at about 75W at the other side of the tent.

 

 

Each day I'm checking to see that there's not any leaf damage being caused by how close I have the light to them,

I've been partially shading the runt with leaves of the others as her leaves are nowhere near as developed as the others,

to give her a chance and not just fry her  with too many photons.

 

 

I can tell that I will have to increase the light height and output power again today,

in order to increase the footprint of light as they are beginning to need a lot more space between each pot.

 

I've got another larger heat mat to match this larger footprint of light,

for spreading them out a little.

 

Already they're showing some light purplish stems(cleared on the photos below),

as the air temp starts to reduce as we head into Autumn.

 

So I've been trying to keep the ambient temp up,

especially as the temp starts to drops quite drastically at night time,

you can definitely notice a difference now that Summer has been and gone  

 

 

I have at last gotten a hold of an extractor fan(AC INFINITY Cloudline S6)

and a matching filter for the Homebox tent.

 

I've now just got to find/make the time to get it installed  

so that these little ones get the airflow they're starting to need as they begin to really take off(as well as take care of any unwanted smells escaping).

 

Heres how the little ones looked just the other day

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've since topped 2 or 3 of them at the 5th node,

just waiting on the rest of them getting to the stage where I can get my clumsy fingers in to pinch out the growing tips.

 

They got sprayed with some seaweed extract solution this week.

 

Roots are showing at the bottom of the pots(and a couple at the surface)  

 

No doubt they'll fill up these little pots in no time,

with the fantastic combination of:

@Intense Nutrients Foundation(root stimulant)

LEDs from DIYLEDUK

and not forgetting some fantastic genetics from DINAFEM Seeds.

 

I'll get them potted up once they are needing to be watered every day or so.

 

 

That's it from Shumroom's indoor medical garden,

until next time.

 

Stay safe out there.

 

Sending @Dinafem-Mark virtual hugs,

And positive thoughts your way.

Hopefully there are brighter days around the corner.

Keep well friend

Looking good! ATB

[jadenugs]

looking good and coming along nicely mate  

[trichomehi]

Thickened up nicely, led's do promote good looking stem and leaf growth, they'll really start to take off now..

[tokenroll]

Nice start mr @Shumroom vlean and tidy setup. Best of growing to you.

Toke...

[badbillybob]

looking good so far. i would bury them stems  a little when you next pot up, looks like they have stretched when youngsters, maybe you're geting used to the LEDs, i know i am, its a different way of growing to hps etc. 

 

look forward to seeing them in a few weeks.

good growing @Shumroom, so much time for the label maker 

[Shumroom]

Thanks for the input and kind words

 

It's been kicking around for ages(the label maker) so I thought I'd put it to good use 

 

 

 

Due to the unfortunate events regarding Dinafem Seeds, 

This diary is on hold. 

 

I wish @Dinafem-Mark and all those affected by this, 

all the best at this time.

 

 

I tried telling the plants to pause but I don't think they got the message. 

 

So you can follow their progress in my main diary from the link below 

 

 

 

What's the word coming to?
