She’s still glowing but she’s also really pointing her leaves up to the light. She’s growing so fast I’ll have to keep a good eye on her.

I have revamped the nursery for little BBA . I have the LED 8" away now and the T5 is 3" away for now,. I’ll inch it closer tonight if she’s ok with it. Added a cool mist humidifier I scored at a rummage sale for $2. looks like wasn’t ever used 
I also tested the fox farms happy frog soil slurry for her forever home. As I suspected, pH was a little high at 6.9 TDS 860 EC 1720
I’m going to do some research and see about getting that PH at 6.5. I’ve never tested the start pH of the soil before and probably should have been. Grow and learn and learn and grow. 
EDIT after reading more about it, I’ve decided to try watering the soil in 50/50 cold coffee and distilled pH 6.5. I don’t want to add organic matter to lower ph. PPM’s already a little high for my liking. I always transplanted early in the past (10-14 days). But this one I want to do better. Sorry for thinking out loud but now I’m thinking the coffee will raise PPM’s also so looks like I’m flushing the soil just a tad with distilled pH 6.3 until I get the pH at 6.5…i think I over thought that in the beginning 
that’s what happens when you wake and bake with a sativa

Truthfully i think that big led should be much higher. Does it have some type of dimmer? I believe those are more of 16-18 inches away type of lights. Sorry just caught that. Thought u had little Philips 9w style leds 
But nice looking adjustments. And yea they change a bit every day. Kinda amazing.
PS. What are you supposed to wake up with aside from a nice Tiva

@PurpNGold74 So you think 8" is ok? since it’s a little 9w? I can go a little further away maybe 2-3"
Its the king if thats what im looking at. Its high powerd right?
Edit. Lookd up. The kind and the vipa’s should both be 16 or more away i think… @dbrn32 can u confirm? Im about to try to google it but u got the eye. I believe the vips is ~135w and the king ~250w. The t5 and the small bulbs can run close.
@PurpNGold74 no it’s a little seed starter 9 w LED light Which I’ve only used on flowers/ veggie gardening before. And there’s my little ferry Morse T5 24w 6400k full spectrum I use normally. It’s been used in all my grows. Just added there LED…I will put her under the king eventually, when she’s older. It’s more of a red spectrum flower. She’ll go under the viparspectra first

Ahhh so she isnt under either of the other two yet. Lemme go peek.
Well i found it (eventually ) and it doesnt say much. I imagine the adjustments you made are gonna be enough. As usual just watch her close. And adjust as needed.

@PurpNGold74 Right now my Northern lights autoflower is hogging the king and viparspectra both, along with the tent. She needs to hurry up
Here’s the lights that old girls under
The viparspectra 300w (134 actual watts)
And the King 1200( 235 actual watts)
I can’t find any spectrum charts on that little 9w seed starting LED. I’ve had it few years

@PurpNGold74 Yes, that!!! Thanks man

Its fine. All this will help whenever we get to the point of needing it lol. But yea. Maybe its the combined light of both was a bit much. Anyway u jacked it back a bit.

@PurpNGold74 I’ll keep a good eye on her and if needed not use it. I figured it might help her get used to the big LED transaction that’s gonna happen later. I’m still figuring it all out.thanks for all your help. It’s appreciated

9 watt led is probably fine there, they pretty much need to be treated like cfl’s. If it was bigger light you’d definitely want it higher.

Thanks @dbrn32…I’ve been reading a lot on LED lights and reading a lot of your suggestions and your help on peoples builds I’m saving money so I’ll be talking to ya one day about replacing my big blurples. thanks for your input I really value your light knowledge.

All is well in blueberry world . The BBA still has some glowing bright yellow/ green edges but it’s not spread.
Temp is 78.1 RH 69%
Good morning and happy growing

I’m really liking my son’s old TV cabinet. Bought it for $10 at a garage sale. He used it for about 6 years and now it’s the nursery 
I’d say I got my money’s worth out of it 
Finally got the fan added so hopefully my temp won’t go any higher

She looks good. Still growing and no further light burn.
Took a peek at her roots and she’s developing a good root system
I’m hoping to get her in the big pot when she’s 14 days old. Have a great one

14 days old…already? My how time flies. She’s looking great. New growth and no sign of light burn on that. She started growing more towards the T5 bulb, guess she likes it better. I’m really wanting to get her into her big pot. The past grows I’ve always had them in their forever pot at 10-14 days. I have the 5 gallon cloth pot filled with fox farm happy frog with a couple tsp of gypsum mixed in. In the center around where she’ll be planted, I put pro mix seed starting soil so her roots will have to grow a bit to hit the FFHF. This is same as I’ve done my last 4 plants. First couple I mixed in FFHF with FF ocean forest and that was way too hot imo. So I’ve done it this way since. I’m hoping to get her in it tomorrow. As I said in my stoner post #9, I’m wanting my soil pH to be at 6.5 from the start so and my slurry showed it was 7.0 so a couple days ago, I flushed my pot with PH 6.2 ×1 gallon then let the pot sit for a few hours in PH 6.4. I’ll get another slurry now then test it tomorrow. Hopefully she’ll be potted up tomorrow. I like to get the autoflowers transplanted younger so I don’t stunt them with such a short life span and veg period, I don’t want that. But I also have to be careful not to burn her up in hot soil too soon…

Growing like a weed.
I tested my slurry pH. I think I over shot and lowered the pH a tad too much at 6.43 but that will do. I was kinda hoping my 14 week old northern light auto would be finished by now and this baby could go into her big pot and transferred out of the nursery into the big tent. My nursery lights won’t go high enough for me to put her in the big pot. I don’t raise my humdity in the big tent either with my flower child “Sunshine” finishing. Oh the difficulties of a marijuana grower
For now, she’s seems happy where she’s at

It’s been a few days since my last update. She’s looking great and growing fast. She’s still waiting her turn to have the big tent. Looks like it will be about a week so I did add a second T5 6400k 2000 lumen light. Normally she’d be getting used to the big lights now so I’m hoping with this light added my girl should grow just fine.
Her she is
Happy growing all
