First grow ever! Auto BBY

When did you start feeding the plants? The FFOF soil fed my girls for almost 8 weeks. And yes, I would break up your feeding with a water only. I used this: feed, feed, water, feed, feed, water, and so on

Plant is still bulking up. Make sure you have ample bloom nutes and let her run out. When it looks like this:

Then it’s ready.

That’s a beauty right there!!:+1:…ok will do, and I still have tiger bloom nutes!

I’m trying to be patient…lol…she smells so wonderful. I think she gets more pungent everyday. That’s ok right? Increased smell?

There will be days when the plant has little or no smell too. It’s all part of growing cannabis. We all fight the tendency to harvest early. The only thing you lose is some yield.

Thought I might should start flushing now? Do you just water and water like a few gallons through your plants? When do you know that enough is enough when flushing? Do you oh the water your flushing with?

I did the same when I got my first meter :rofl:
Your BB looks great
She’s still putting out some white hairs. Do you have a scope to start checking trichomes?
Are you going to use FF Sledgehammer to flush?

I won’t use the sledgehammer this time around but I need to get some for my next few grows. I thought I’d just use water…wasn’t sure if you ph’d the water when flushing or not. Yes there is some milky white looking trichomes, but from what I’ve read they say you want that…if you want an energetic high vs couch lock high…? Any feedback on that from what you’ve learned? I’m a firm believer in these guys/gals here in this group, but not so much on the you tube vids and stuff. Have you had the same experience?

I hear ya…the guy that made that one is Greengene. His channel is very informative especially in the lighting world.

My first blueberry auto I harvest a little too early due to my inexperience. It was still good smoke but not nearly as good as my second. I wouldn’t say my 1st early harvest bb was more energetic, just less couch you. I have also grown Amnesia haze (sativa) that is my energetic, uplifting, creativity provoking weed…but I already smoked it all :joy:.
On the flush subject. I agree with the video. From the botany standpoint, flushing isn’t necessary but I still do it. I just don’t start as early as others. I flush about 4-5 days prior with sledgehammer until my run off PPM’s are below 200.

Oh, and back 20 years ago when my ex grew photo blueberries (I was just a helper) for several years, we never flushed. But back then we lived on a river, fed them river water only, no nutes no pH. I think we got lucky that our river water had what the girls needed along with the soil we used. The river water pH must have been in a good range. Back then we harvested when brown hairs were greater than 80%. Times and weed have definitely gotten better than back then.
