@Alteredmindset I don’t know if you are following any of the other Blueberry Auto grows on the ILGM forum? If not you might want to search Blueberry Auto and then sort them by the latest posts. Some of the guys are having longer than expected veg times and plants a bit larger than they expected. Just a heads up.

Looking good! Watching with interest as the BB Auto is on my list for the late spring/ summer grow.,

Actually, I have been on point with my research, thank you by the way for pointing it out. I noticed that some other sites claim that there are varying degrees with auto flowering plants. So far I was expecting more rapid growth, then again, I have no real reference. I will try to keep updated with more news as I go, as well as more photos.

just to show that this girl has spunk.

just wanted to show off my girl, and see what everyone else thinks. Is it a bit slow or is it progressing better?

@Alteredmindset you look good
If your not seeing a lot of growth above the soil she/they are rooting under the soil you just transplanted them give them a few more days maybe a week and your going to see the rapid growth your looking for
Patience my friend is key :key:
They need a great root system to hold up all those pretty buds your going to have
Just relax and smoke a fatty bro

Truly thank you for the advice and info, I appreciate your helpfulness. I am happy so far and as I said before, this is more of an experiment to learn the workings of a plant grow. I have found out a lot from this forum and many others, although I tend to go here as I have found this site to be the most helpful.Amazon.com, I found this, do you think this would be a good investment along the way. I also again want to say thank you again for any input, and wish this to all who have advised. I would also like to point out that this grow is for medical as well as recreational, and for personal use only. I would love to grow in bulk, yet do not wish to over do it, I am enjoying this process and at first found it stressful, now more of a great therapeutic hobby.

Link you posted isn’t working maybe try posting it on its own line ?

That light will work for you and it reasonably priced
I personally use led light for my grow from start to finish so I won’t comment any more on that light since I don’t use them myself
But keep in mind you’ll need to change bulbs for veg and flower also replace them I believe after every grow ? Or every other grow
Maybe @Majiktoker or @MacGyverStoner
Can give you a better answer on those lights

A little pricey but a descent light I believe life span would be any where from 24,000 hours to 50,000 hours. A good way to see when they need to be replaced is by keeping track of spectrum width on a white sheet of paper (printer paper) as well as brightness same way of testing with white paper

Are there cheaper ones? This one comes with everything. If you have any suggestions on another place, please do so, as I would be very grateful.

Know more details about VIVOSUN kits: VIVOSUN Air Cooled Hood Reflector Gorw Light Kit - YouTube

VIVOSUN Ballast

Operates on a 120/240V, 50/60 Hz power supply. 8ft 120v power cord included.
Overheating Protection;
End-of-Bulb-Life Protection;
Short Circuit Protection;
Ignition Failure Protection.

Wing Reflector

Highly reflective German aluminum maximizes the light reflected to the plants.
Sturdy housing is highly resistant to rusting and damage.
More transparent glass maximizes lumen output.

Grow Light Bulbs

Optimized spectrum and high PAR (Photosynthetic Active Radiation) to promote healthy plant growth.
Robust stainless steel armature versus nickel plated steel, far stronger and longer lasting.
Lifetime: 24,000 hours.
Extra-low lumen depreciation: maintaining over 90% of initial lumen output after running for 5,000 hours.

This is about the light as I figured 24,000 hour life span which figure you’ll replace in half that time so maybe an ipower set up or an air cooled set up. But at this point my advise its worth what they are asking you want a good light you’ll paytge price however I do understand budget maybe a factor so id go with this one, it would last atleast 3-5 grow for you depending on photoperiod or autoflowers. Autoflowers you can probably pull quite a few more grows out of it

Thank you, I understand that the bulbs will decrease over time, I am working with a small grow area and will not need more than this at the moment. yet if there is something better near this range of price I would love to know, it can be even above this price. I seen one that was 200 bucks at a thousand watts, same company…and the extra bulbs would be something I am willing to invest in.

Sweet if you have a little play room id suggest looking into an air-cooled system you can probably get a 600 watt for 150$ and a 1000 watt for probly somewhere around $220
