BabyTrees First Grow!
- Thread starter BabyTrees
- Start date
Nice clone work. I have to bring my clone game up this summer for the fall grow. I'm loaded with critical defence as well. Why waste resources?

That was my first try ever at cuttings so I'm glad those three so far have survived, my four others on the table did not have a get scraped with a knife but did get dipped into the cloning stuff (can't remember what's it's called at the moment)
And I also used some grow cubes that I will not be using again I don't think. I prefer soil so far. They seemed to react much better to it I saw the clones the very next day looking happy these ones never seem too happy. So we'll see how many pull thru.

Big mystic is doing amazing perrrr usual!
We've been 12/12 for 22 days. We've had a bunch of stretching and she's shooting little pistols off everywhere, I'm starting to see some trichomes forming on some leaves I tried to get a pic but had to turn flash on so I'm not sure how well you'll be able to see it. Hope you guys are doing well and staying safe!

Even with me upping the nutes a bit she didn't get any burn or anything, she's a super happy plant!Great color!

one of my pet peeves is how people are so timid with nutes, using perfectly good fertilizer to barely put plants on a life sustaining diet. Congrats! You have done it right!

I've tried to follow everyone's instructions to ease into it the first few weeks, and do like quarter strength than half, and slowly build up. And it's seemed to work great I went with like 150% the reccomended on the nutes this week and she's enjoying every bit of it. My first run with the bag seed I waited to feed like way too long and I definitely could see the difference between growth in mystic on nutes vs the bag seed without it.

hopefully you dont buy into the nonsense of starving your plants at the end either. You and I seem to have similar growing styles.

That's cause I'm learning from all of you and taking techniques I can introduce! Think of me as the model 2.0 of y'all that never was product tested before releasehopefully you dont buy into the nonsense of starving your plants at the end either. You and I seem to have similar growing styles.
Like starve as in no nutes for the last weeks?
I had planned on doing the 5-10 day no nutes before harvest but I'm not dead set if youve got something to convince me other wise, and I saw you guys do 3 days of darkness, and I've seen other growers on YouTube do that as well. Which may be something I do!

Think of a true organic grow, where the smoke is unquestionably better than any other method that we know of. Do the nutes stop mysteriously at the end? Nope. Nor should you in your artificial grow. Be like nature. Feed right up to the end. Stress the plant in other ways to increase the quality. Just be sure to flush out all of the salts and built up debris in the soil right as you go into Final Bloom, so the buds can uptake all of the water and nutes that they need. Also be sure after that flush to let the plants dry out completely one last time before resuming the water/nutes/water/nutes... so that the roots get one last good charge of oxygen going into final bud swell.That's cause I'm learning from all of you and taking techniques I can introduce!

I have not done any flushes yet I have heard the last one is the most important though.
Interesting I had heard it made the smoke smoother which is why I was going to do the 5-10 day starve This is the reason I need multiple plants going because I love to experiment.

ok, let me try this argument. The nutes come in and are processed by plant and while some of the mobile nutrients are stored in the leaves, the buds are created with the sugars and resins that the plant produces. Very little raw nutrient is in the bud and what is in there can not be washed out by starving the plant. We know now that the only way to remove the tastes of anything raw left in the bud is with a proper cure. Hanging the plant upside down, starving it or flushing it at the very end has no effect on what ends up in the buds. Smoothness comes from drying and curing a well grown plant, properly.
But yes, I have an adage that I used to have in my signature lines. it came from an old school grower in Hawaii who refused to do things just because someone said he should. "Trust nothing you read (or see) online. Verify what you can."
Your own experiments are where you learn what works for you and where bro science comes to die.

I do believe I've read an article in the past that went over what you just did I'm sure I stumbled across it in one of y'alls journals and it absolutely makes sense to me but I am all for a side by side comparison!
I love that quote, and it's absolutely true everyone's got a method and most of them believe their methods the best and without experimenting and keeping up to date you won't be able to really be able to tune in your garden.

1st set of three clones are looking good.
The second set of four,It seems if the results are the same as the other day, that all four clones taken and dipped into the cooking solution, than tossed into the grow cubes are going to die, none of them had roots when I looked like two days ago, one has already died..
But this is what experiments are for, clearly the winning method currently is straight into soil after gently shaving the lower portion of the clone with a knife, and than rolling it onto the cloning solution, this is what I'll do for future cuttings.

So here's a picture of my current three clones for mystic the big one will be going into my tent I'm finally starting to see some growth on the lower nodes, I'm thinking about topping it it's gotten so tall.
The mystic has been growing like crazy here's an update I believe it's starting to "bud stack"? But I'm not sure.

More growth today, and seeing some trichomes form on the top leaves and koalas now, I also have a top getting two orange hairs which was cool coming home and seeing.
Today she will be getting week three nutes as I see her humidity dropped to about 40, and the top soil has dried.
Today she got about a table spoon of grow big/big bloom/tiger, and she got a half TSP of beastie bloom everything was increase 33%-50% from recommended.
I upped water from a gallon to gallon and a half, started with a little water than gave her the full gallon of nutes (I call it hulk juice) than finished with the remainder of the half gallon of water.

Some crazy growth, she's looking great, definitely not really "chunky"
It's been one month since 12/12 here's a picture of one of the lower buds (the one with some orange/red hairs) the other one is the top koala, I kind of want to remove some leaves to let more light into the bud sites, is it too late for that?
