Mission Fail:

as you can see, this will probably be sprouted by morning.. but honestly idk what ima do with it yet.. ill prolly kill off plant A and put this in.. i just wanna clone from the other one as of now, but i guess i should set this one up in case of Male-age ya?

watchya guys think of the LST?.. i think i wanna SCROG but like i said, i dont think ima flower this one.. might just keep it here for clones =D... still throwin ideas up.. anyone got any feel free to chime in thanks!
 
like 6 or 7.. it was stayin short and i saw a lot of potential growth tips that i wanted to see action! ha.. like i said i want to "mother" this thing, and i dont want to top it :/ .. whether FIM or traditional topping
 
SS, obx: thanks dudes.. hell yeah theyre pearly white, im glad to have everything sorted out... like i said im just bout positive it was all that light coming into that tub :/

butch: its a 20oz =D ... one of those nestea bottles that look like 2liters... buckets not THAT big dude lol

disaster struck this morning.. those tube things that are on the front ya kno? under those black socks?? .. plant B's turned upside down and competely drained it?!!?!?!!!!.. i had to scramble and run to the store to get some water and make a new res.. i swear, ill never go a whole week without changing it damn!!!... upped the ppm to 600 while i was in there, and killed plant A and planted sprout D... ppms for that one are 150-200... not much damage was done to B.. jus looked a lil thirsty
 
lol..damn that sux bout the plant turning upside down.dont worry things come and go.sometimes your system will be sooo dailed in that you will want to just do something, but at that point its better not to. but any how you'll get there.our doing a great job bro.
 
quick up date with question

the plant that germed, i potted and it sprouted up but then when it came up the seed was attached to the top of it, looked like a mushroom.. stayed that way for a couple days so i o-so-gently pulled the seed shell off and there was like no leaves?.. it was just like a stem coming out of the grouned with a lil bit of flatness at the top?... well i tried to get it to sprout some but to no avail.. so i pitched it.. sooooo

i had untied it for a day or 2.. wanted it to get taller, so the light can get away from bein so close to the res but i bailed on it n tied her back down lol

update... veg day 25

aand some under growth.. i really want to take these for clones, already bought dm's clone gel... want some1 to tell me its not too early right now tho.. i mean, its not even been a month :/
IMG_03061.JPG


as water decreases, ppms rise.... and the more roots shown to air the better no?.. so i havent topped off the res at all, thinkin that slowly raising ppms is probably a good thing idk
 
you can, i take em early sometimes. the one thing youhave to take into consideration is the fact that they are comeing from the lower part of the plant they will root faster.most people mistime their clones.Meaning they root to quick or to late. If you have the space for them then take them if you like. And if not then it wont hurt to let them grow a bit.But from what i recall you have the space,Yeah? and if so you could take them now and keep lst'n that one plant to keep the canopy even.just a thought.And great buy DM is a great rooting gel. And as far as the nutes go you got ythe idea patients and be smart when it comes to uping the ppm's.What are they at now and how much are you thinking about upping it?
 
thanks butch!.. no ones visited me in awhile lol i dont blame em its boring now :P

well no what i meant is i made this batch at 640-650.. and as the water decreases everytime i check it, its upping itself.. makes sense.... right now its at 760

still i dont see any signs of burn, n i wouldnt mind pushin this biosh to the limit... im due for a res change in 2 days or so, thatll be a week (the first time i ever made it a whole week without the res screwin me over!!!..... <crosses fingers>)... so idk i was thinkin bout uppin it from even 760 to like 8 or 9... watchya think??

also, i have a tray with dome but its like .. big ... its liiiiike 2.5ft long and a ft wide, thats kind of a big space for jus like 4 or 5 clones.. i figured if theyre occupying a big dome, humidity will not be very high b/c it will disperse, so i was lookin for a smaller tray at the store, but the dude said if you really want, you can just put them in a big ziploc bag n keep it partially open..... watchya think bout all that??.. this is my first time cloning kinda nervous, keep puttin it off...

i saw what you posted onnnn... dfw?.. of bud08's? i forget, with that 2liter bottles, but ima but using rw so.. idk maybe i could rig somethin like that... like use my tray and put bottles on top of em or sumthin idk..
 
the dome should work fine. I use a dome.most domes use the same size tray. The humidity should be fine as long as you mist the inside top of the dome as well as mist your clones twice a day for the first week, then 1 time a day working your way down to every other day until they get hardened off along with rooting.

you could get a tupperwear container as high as your clones and run clearfilm over the top, this would work as well. but just make sure you mist the inside top and clones.

And as far as the 2 liter bottle it's an easy way of doing that for soil. What you want is the rh to be high so you want to keep it tight but not to tight so not to suffocate the clones.Make sence? hope it does. i dont know if i worded it right, if not let me know

800 sounds about right.
 
hey odor. no one visits me either. lol. if i look at my photo gallery all the views are of the pics in late flower with big buds. only other bored growers come by when they have nothing else to grow, so they can help someone else grow. lol. like me.

about cloning.

she's big enough to take a couple clones. I think she could wait a bit longer, but timing is everything. if you have empty spots under a light just waiting to be filled, you have to make the call to go early now for the sake of faster later. your choice, but i know when i need clones, i just do it.

also, i dont know what your money situation is, i know mine is tight. do you have $30-$40 you could spend. for someone like me or butch, we could probably throw something quick together and clone, but were very experienced.

if this is going to be your first time cloning, might as well set yourself up for the greatest probability of success!!

here is what i would recommend to you:

1) Humidity dome/base tray/elevated tray combo. this might cost you $6-7 for the dome/base and another $2-3 for the elevated tray. make sure this tray has holes in the bottom or you can get an individual cell insert tray. this is what i use.

2)seedling mat/heating pad. this should be $20-25.

3)clean razors.. $1-2

and you already have the gel. but i would suggest getting a bit of cloning solution, i use clonex. its basically food for your clones. i don't know $15 for a small one? i get huge ones.

preparation is KEY in rw, or it will be a bitch! RW is not forgiving to newbs.

fill your bottom tray with distilled/RO water.
ph adjust it to 5.5
add suggested dose of clonex solution if you got it.
soak the rw cubes, and make sure to flip them to fully saturate
empty out enough of the water so that when you put the elevated try in, the water does not come through the holes.
cut off a branch with at least three nodes on it.
cut it at a 45 degree angle
dip into the gel for like 20 seconds
push it into the hole in the rockwool

put the rockwool cubes into the dome, cover, and place on the heat mat. the heat mat will warm the small res of water at the bottom of the tray. . . if you dont let this dry out, you will get a great success rate. you can spray as often or as little as you like because the pad and res will keep it 99% RH in there.

give them some not-too-intense light for two weeks, then start to take the dome off for a couple hours here and there. go longer and longer without replacing it untill you see a bit of droop, then replace it for a while. when you can leave it off all the time, they are ready for more light.

bam, done. very easy method and if you follow these steps i pretty much promise you near 100% success rates.

hope this helps bro (and you got the doughnuts to buy the right stuff)
