If BB is mature, I would just send her to flower now and get her done and out of the way. Maybe she will even turn around in flower..?
That way you can veg your clones for a few weeks, then add them to the flower room and they will just be a few weeks behind BB. Gives you an offset harvest for a few weeks. Then when you have room, flower the CJ and make it a monster. It would suck to sacrifice the potential of CJ because of space. If you veg it out for a while and supercrop and then send to flower, you could have a mighty big yield from her.
I must say, I agree With Dan...I feel ya on the rest button. But like he said, no reason to sacrifice your CJ..especially if she has done well in the past. What size are your final pots? are you still using 3-5 gal?
Final pots are somewhere between 6 and 7 gallons.
Now to clarify a little here,
I think I was a little confusing, so let me clarify myself so we're all on the same page.
I have 4 total plants growing:
Cotton Candy
Big Bitch
Strawberry Blue Clone #1
Strawberry Blue Clone #2
I try to grow 1 Sativa dom, and 1 Indica dom, which last grow with SB, the Indica was BB, but BB died, so I only had the Sativa to harvest.
Cali Jack is a plant I grew on my prior grow, I yielded a little over 2 ounces with only a 5 week Veg time (but it has a longer 11 week Flower time) Since BB is being so difficult, I plan to grow Cali Jack on the next grow as my Indica dom in its place. I will not be cloning BB.
Here's what we have, right now:
Cotton Candy (today is day 48/ tomorrow will be 7 weeks)
Big Bitch (today is 42 days/ 6 weeks) Yes, that is a standard size plastic spoon.
Strawberry Blue Clone #1
Strawberry Blue Clone #2
Realistically, I think most of us can agree that Big Bitch is just wasting space. I also have a less than optimal filter/fan setup, so at this point Vegging a plant really long, although it would produce an amazing yield, it would also produce more smell than my filter can handle. And I'm already pushing it a little with 4 plants.
The clones, I see basically as free plants. They were just an experiment from some lollipopped branches, and it ended up with 2 out of 4 surviving. So ANY yield from them is a bonus as far as I'm concerned.
So this was the idea I was entertaining:
Switch to 12/12. CC is great, real nice defol on her, and I would estimate she should give me 1.5-2 ounces without breaking a sweat. As for BB, I'm just at the point where I want to give up. After 42 days, I have a plant that's as big as CC was when she was about 25 days.
Clones stay in Veg. SB #1 has a week or two left before she won't fit in the cabinet. SB #2 has maybe another month that I can Veg her.
After I switch to flower, let them go a few weeks. Take 2 clones from CC, and 2 from SB. I would also plant a Cali Jack seed to get her going for the next grow.
Next grow would be: Cali Jack in big pot, And the better grower (and smoke) between SB/CC would get the other big pot. The rest of the surviving clones will get flowered in 1 gallon pots.
If I still don't make sense, let me know, sometimes I think faster than I can type, and things get jumbled and confused.
