They both taste exactly like blueberries. One plant was very resistant to stress and the other plant was the indicator of stress. Both had very large stalks. One finished off more purple and the other stayed green mostly. I will most likely grow this again.

Harvest day has finally arrived. I hung them up 12/15 in the morning. Very thick stems that didn't flop when hanging. It has two distinct aromas. If you don't touch it it smells like Blue Cheese, the hybrid. If you touch it, it smells exactly like blueberries.

Planning around the end of next weekend for harvest. Smell is incredible, very unique. The one carbon filter seems to do OK with the tent closed. But even with the window open it's smelly. The plant on the right is filling out more and should surprise me for weight, fox tailing.
The res is 10 gallons of RO water at approx 28 EC and 6 ph.

The smell is really strong now, one carbon filter is not enough. The plant on the right has some of the biggest trichomes I have seen. It's definitely producing more trichomes and resin but much smaller sparse buds.

Smell increased quite a lot on 11/23, a few hours before the lights turned on. It was very noticeable even with a carbon filter. Starting to smell more skunky again. 11/26 Definitely more skunky smelling now, especially rubbing the leaves or touching the plants in any way. Trichome production is also increasing. All mostly new trichomes so near 100% clear.

They are turning purple and the smell has definitely increased. They are starting to smell like blue cheese, the hybrid. It's such a unique smell it's hard to describe. Kind of like a sweet smelling cheese with a hint of berries.

Rubbing the trichomes on the leaves smells like berries. It smells really good and quite strong. But not overpowering like the normal gas/skunky weed smell. The left one smells more like berries and the right one has some gas to it.

Nice fat stems on the main branches. Ph and EC are stable with water level dropping quite a bit. Just tucking them under the trellis before they get to big.
The reservoir is 7 gallons at ~2000 EC Floranova bloom, ~6 ph. 70 ml of Silica Blast.

The reservoir is 25ml in 5 gallons of RO at 5.8 ph. ~1600 EC
day 29 10/11 EC continues to drop to 1450. Water level dropping and ph is mostly stable.
day 30 10/12 Noticing burning on the tips of new top growth from growing into the light.
day 31 10/13 EC is dropping too fast? Now it's ~1270. I have not noticed it dropping this fast before.
day 32 10/14 Switching to flowering. Did a flush with clearex at the end of the day. Switched to bloom nutrients.

The tops are all coming up nicely. Both have 6 tops at the canopy level, with the 2 bottom nodes not far behind.
day 22 10/4
day 23 10/5
day 24 10/6 - The EC is slowly dropping, margin of error most days.
day 25 10/7
day 26 10/8 - Flushed with RO water for 10 minutes, the end of the day. Removing any left over salts and clearex. Pouring water from the top also.
day 27 10/9 - New res, 25 ml of nutrients in 5 gallons of RO water at 5.8 ph. ~1600 EC Noticing more clawing.
day 28 10/10 - EC dropped below 1500. Ph mostly stable if not rising and water level is dropping. This points to plants want more, normally.

This weeks reservoir is 700 EC of Floranova grow, 4 gallons at 5.8ph
day 15 9/27 - The EC started at 700 and dropped to about 650.
day 16 9/28 - Increased feeding time to 2 minutes every hour. EC back to 700.
day 17 9/29
day 18 9/30 - The bigger plant looks a little droopy. Increased feeding to 3 minutes every hour. Ph is not drifting much anymore.
day 19 10/1 - They big one might need another minute added to feeding. The little one is thriving.
day 20 10/2 - Topping after the 5th node and removed bottom nodes on the big plant. I will remove the bottom nodes on the little plant in a day.
day 21 10/3 - Flushed 10 minutes with clearex in the morning. Made a new res 21.5ml in 5 gallons ph at 5.8 ph. Increased flooding to 5 min/hour

Throughout the week I slowly increase the feeding frequency. Flooding 1 time a day to as close to once every hour as I can get. I use General Hydroponics Floranova and am following the light feeding schedule from the 1 part chart. Ph is actually 5.8 and the buckets are 2.5 gallons.
day 8 9/20 - I put the plants in the pots with rocks. Just RO water from the reservoir. They definitely need nutrients soon.
day 9 9/21 - Still RO water. I will make a new reservoir for the morning with the first week of the light nutrient feeding schedule from Floranova.
day 10 9/22 - 3 floods today 380 EC - They seem to have established today and are growing faster. Monitoring the wetness of the plug.
day 11 9/23 - Seeing burning developing. The EC was only 380, I think the rocks are not clean enough.
day 12 9/24 - Part of it was from under watering. Roots need the consistent wet rocks to expand, makes sense. Increased feeding to once/hour.
day 13 9/25 - Plants are looking better with flooding every hour. Flooding regularly is leeching the salt from the rocks.
day 14 9/26 - Started the morning with a good 5 min clearex flush. Pouring water from above as well. Will swap for nutrient solution around lunch.

Week 1
Throughout the week I got the light closer to 13 inches from the canopy and go from 20% to 40% power. I also slowly increase the daily watering amount as needed. By the end of the week adding a small amount of superthrive to the water.
These seeds seem more viable than my last grow, different breeder. No damping, the seedlings mostly broke free from the shell by themselves, and decent day 1 growth. Overall growing much more quickly.
Slower growth from 9/14-16 based on environment. I am still dialing in my lighting situation for seedlings. I think I removed the dome too early and the plants were establishing under the LED. As well as a heat wave for a few days. Which is why I removed the dome.
Next grow I will sort out some of these issues. Temps and humidy will be easy to manage into winter.
I will put them in the final pots in the morning and make a resevouir to start the feeding schedule.
day 1 9/12 put seeds in starter cubes 10 PM
day 1 9/13 Calling this day 1 of the week 1-2mL RO water
day 2 9/14 1-2mL RO water
day 3 9/15 2-3mL RO water
day 4 9/16 3mL RO water
day 5 9/17 5-8mL 400 EC - superthrive
day 6 9/18 5-8mL RO water - I don't think they liked the superthrive or the light is too close. A little burning on the tips.
day 7 9/19 8-10mL of RO water - some leaf twisting - Have noticed this on last strain and lot of other random diaries
I am going to just assume it's nothing or from nutes.
