Hey well Your certainly in the right place then, Id dare say your part of the greatest marijuana community in the universe! We are all still waiting on those pics though.
so a quick update. I went though and removed a whole lot of leafs. Not really by choice but because they simple fell off when I touched them, I then gave her a full dose of nutes. It cant do ay more harm really, with any luck she might recover. She's a sad sight though thats for sure. I just really want to order some seeds and move on to grow #2. lessons learned and changes planned, forward I march into that great abyss that is marijuana cultivation.

Good morning 420!!!
Well its been a few days since I posted any thing here, which is fine. Cause in my absent some wonderful things have been going on. For Starters the clone has grown some roots! So that's very exciting She is still in the cup of water. I have to Figure out what kind of grow I want to go with here. I am thinking either rockwool or coco. Maybe I'll set up a DWC. I just not sure if I'm ready for it yet. I think I want to do one soil less grow before I jump to hydro. Either way I am just happy the clone is growing roots!
Oh yeah another thing, I had to grab some smoke over the week end from a buddy of Mine. We were chatting about growing, ect.. He gave me a seed from his collection. As far as he knows its some kind of kush or blue berry we cant remember which. Either way I happily took it home and put it in some paper towels. Well this morning after checking the clone I peeked in on the seed(s). Beside the "Good" Seed I also have 6 or 7 bag seeds cracking as well. Well none of the bag seed has cracked. So i checked on the "good seed" and I see a 1/4 inch tap root! so I grabbed my jiffy and hydrated a peat pellet. So I have that under the light now as well as the clone!
As for Mary Bell, well she's still the same. Almost out of leaves to lose. She's about 50/50 red hairs. Cant find my mag glass so I have no Idea about tric condition but i figure I'll keep her going as long as I can before I Harvest.
I still might order seeds But I wanna get my next grow together first. I need to buy more 6500k bulbs and another reflector. I'd like to give the closet a fresh paint job as well. Plus I need to buy growing Medium as well..
Wellt hats your morning update update! Picture will be posted tonight..

very nice,, great news on the clonewow,, really good things happening..
the no VOC stuff is really coming down in price. that is what I used in my new room (and all the recent paint jobs the wife wanted done,, like bathroom, bedroom, etc)
home depot has the fresh aire stuff, about 30.00 /gal,, (regular Behr stuff is about 20.00/gal) but there is no smell when painting, no fumes, no headaches, it dries in like a couple of hours and is ready for another coat.. I love the stuff..
for the shameless plug of no VOC paint..

Yeah I was eye balling some of the VOC paint last time i was there. Not sure if I'm going to go that way or not. It seems pricey for a coat or two in a closet.
As for the clone excitement, It is pretty cool to have her take, esp considering how far into flower she is. I wonder how much longer she will Take to go into veg now.

Brother man, I'm sorry for not dropping in in some time now. Congrats on the clone and the seeds! You getting that package of nutes is probably gonna give you the best advantage in any soil you use. I would like to do a soil-less and use only perlite, like in some of the journals here...Tunes and such have had great results, just need a pH pen to stay on top of that.
I hope you have a great week and take care bud.

That's great the clone took. Looks like you got some good plans for your next grow. I snagged three clones from flower myself about a week or better back. They are standing on there own and I believe the roots have developed but not peaking yet. No new growth but they seem perky. I noticed my fan leaves really yellowed, some white this time.
Last time I made a very dilute nute solution to do my cuttings in and all leaves remained green. This time I used ph'd water and starved a little on nutes before.

Yeah my clone ate her lower leaves as well. One turned yellow and shriveled up then the now the other is just about done. I gave her a foliar feeding but she didn't really respond to that, I dont think. I have just been reading on perlite as a medium and think I will give it a try. I'll start my moving the clone into some tonight. Since the perlite i have had a 1-1-1 nute premix I figure that should ease her back into growth as it dilutes into water. If she looks good and seems to like the perlite in the comming weeks I think I may give it a go for this round.
Interesting! I would like to see how that works out. Do you think with nutes in the perlite that could cause some potential problems down the road. Perhaps you could soak the perlite to dilute as much as you can that way you know what it's getting with your new nute collection.
Foliar feeding is something I have yet to do. I can't remember did you foliar feed Mary Bell?

Well for now I'm just going to use the MG perlite I have, but once she gets along her way I'll go and pick up natural perlite which contains no added nutes. So It should be fine, Either way with as little as even the MG has I', m sure it will be fine. Um, no i never foliar feed MB
Yes! you can use perlite to grow without any trouble, cause it's ph is neutral and won't go up or down.
I recommend you visit Tunes journal (I think it's his second or third) I can't remember who else...****** and RC
RC - White Widow in 4 Gallon Hempy Buckets!
I can't remember the others but you should look into it. You can't go wrong with this set up IMO as long as you have a good pH pen.

Hey chrome, perlite woks great (even the MG). Just remember theres such a minimal amount of nutes in the perlite, the plants only get what you give them. Most nutes arent balanced to give cannabis the proper ratios, the most common deficiency when growing in perlite is cal/mag. Check out slimm and doc bud, they are getting great results with hempy and experimenting with time release nutes. Also check out japanfreaks hempy tutorial, tons of info there. +reps for trying something different.

Hey 420 thanks for stopping by. Isn't the cal-mag deficiency why most people add Vermiculite to the mix? I believe Vermiculite release cal-mag over time. Though I will also be using the technaflora recipe for success which seems like it should have most of the nutes covered. I only wish i had bought real nutes for Mary bell before it was too late..

however, you did do a great job with what you had,,, and it was a learning experience.. definately will watch your next grow,, should be exciting,,
"Well now you know and learning is half the battle...Go Joe!" Remember that? lol Yup, get all your ducks in a row before starting your Hempy bucket. You will go through some mistakes but you can't learn if you don't ever make them.

Indeed! 
Ok guys well When I commit, I f'ing commit! I Have the clone in a small temp bucket (16oz blue plastic cup). I watered her with some technaflora Root66 and Thrive Alive B-1 green according to directions. I will keep here In this set up untilll I feel the roots are well developed and new growth starts. I have a few pics, But I am saving up for My new grow journal. Which will be up As soon as I get enough stuff together. Also wanna make sure the clone makes it and the Seed Pops before I start it.
Like I said the seed cracked yesterday and I placed in a peat pellet. No signs of further activity yet. Sure hope it didn't just die on me.. god, I'd be pissed!
