First off glad to be here. My journey started this October I purchased seeds from ilgm. Blueberry and agent orange. I started 3 each in 4in pots. Used roots organic soil. I picked up a 4x8 aromax tent, put up the big Kahana reflector with a hortilux blue 600w bulb. It has a 6in exhaust with carbon filter. I also did a 4in fresh air intake with hepafilter.

Great space and welcome. Never hurts to have a bar close at hand. I use LEDs so nothing to add regarding your fixture. I see however the seedlings are stretching too much for my liking. With LEDs I would increase intensity or shorted the distance between the plants and the light. I would also have a small fan going to strengthen there stems. You may want to try raising the plants 6" ??? Heat impact from fixture (my ignorance) this is where air movement would also help.
They are above ground so you are ahead of the game. Good luck

Welcome to the forum. Looking good they are heading in the right direction. I would like to add be careful putting water on your leaves it can cause burn spots from the light. Then you will have dis coloring and you might think you have a problem you do not, young plants like high humidity while they establish there roots. Just trying to keep it humid in your tent. Besides that looking great keep us posted and happy growing

never came up so I started anothet blue berry. I shopped around and found some medium. I used 5gal pots. Transplanting went well. I was happy with the root structure.

So now had to control the environment. With the light going 24/7 I could only get to 48 degrees in the tent. And humidity to 28. So I got a greenhouse heater and a humidifier.
So now I’m a master of the universe what could go wrong

Big plants for 16 days. I just transplanted these GDP on day 13. I start counting once they have their cotyledons showing

I am new at this too (only harvested one plant so far), but let me offer a bit of my experience.
I have one Blueberry (Seedsman) growing. She started fast, but has been passed up and dwarfed by her Sativa dominant cousins.
She appears to be a very heavy feeder, but not so much water. That is compared to the other three cultivars I have growing. HST and LST worked well. Fimmed at day 23. Considerable branching and lots of leaves.
Looking forward to trying her out, but I am probably at least six weeks from harvest.
Good luck. This is loads of fun!

Localy we have and mountain spring which I have been using for watering with a ph 0f 7. I purchased gold leaf liquid fertilizer its a one part fert for the whole process. It has a ph balance in it. I started LST early. ( not knowing what I’m doing)

I found it on Amazon it sits atop any big water bottle it’s rated for 1000sqft so a bit over kill. Only problem is it’s memory isn’t the best so it resets to 30 percent every now and then. Short term memory loss

Is it just the lower leaves? Hard to tell from the picture, but seems like a nutrient deficiency of some sort. I’m.no expert, but there’s plenty here on the forum that will help you out. If possible, can you get some pictures of the whole plant, makes it easier to diagnose issues that way

7 for ur pH level is a little high imo, I would use some pH up/down if u got it and get that down to 6.5 if it’s in soil. U got a nice setup tho my friend. I use LED’s so I can’t give u too much advice there, but it’s pretty nice u have a blue and a red light both at 600 watts. I use Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil and liquid trio nutrients so I’m kinda in a routine. U seem to be doing fine so far tho, I would just get that pH down, and be careful sprinkling water on the leaves, the light will cause burn spots wherever there’s water. Welcome to the forum. There’s alot of great people here who have an immense amount of knowledge so u will be fine. If u can’t find an answer here, then ur asking a trick question

After doing some reading and research I figured it need calcium and magnesium. And everyone is big on co2. So I did what every rookie would do.
I ground up 2 dozen tums added some epsom salt and mixed in my nutriens with 2 gallons of sparkling seltzer water. Boom checked all boxes
Now I have a soda stream. Not sure if it does anything for grouth but it aerated the soil well.
