Ok here we go an official update (at bloody last).
MAIN GROW
This is my current main grow and grow room. not a great deal is happening right now, between being repeatedly shocked and night time temps of around 5c(41f), burned by soil thats too hot, at least 1 dropped pot and being plucked of all suckers several times...im amazed they are still alive tbh, lol
My Indica. i plan on topping the two main stems so that all the tops are of around the same height. once its in a warmer room and is left alone for a while it should spring into action. if i get 2 more clones from this ill be happy and put it into flower around the time the autos do.
My 'other' sativa. this thing suffered the worst from the hot soil. its slowly starting to recover....cant wait till i can get some superthrive.
My topping plant, previously known as 'the moster'. this baby seems to look the healthiest and is growing well, i think because its so small, it didnt try to suck up as many nutes as the other main plants so recieved the least damage...its just about ready to take 4 clones from...cant wait till payday, getting an air pump and stones. notice on the botton pics, the first leaves this thing produced after its first drastic decapitation look like coty leaves from a new seedling oO
Attack of the clones
first is my earliest successful clone. after having to trasplant into new soil twice, it seems to have settled quite well and is ready for another topping session, just waiting on my air bubbler for water cloning. note the dates on the photo's as it showes the progress.
My 2 indica clones. these have not been put into new soil yet as i wanted them to have well established roots before i did...ill do that in the next few days.
my other clones did not do so well. these are the last remaining 2 and one isnt going to make it i think =/
ah well shit happens, ill just keep plugging away, will be going into seed manufacture i think as i have a great success rate with making seedlings.
Fast Auto's
These have not been in the ground very long at all. i lost 2 to seed casing troubles and almost lost a 3rd to the same. But they are looking good and are growing well, lets hope they like the new soil they have been repotted into.
This is my vanguard plant, it has almost 48 hours on the others. this is to put into my new soil ahead of the others to give me a early warning should they not like it.
This is the runt of the litter, almost died to a seed case problem but as you can see it has managed to pop its first real leaves enough to take up some son and they are growing very fast. they were about half the size of this picture when i woke up and they are bigger now =D
This is my NL auto that i cracked at the same time...it also has a case issue but im not sure if this one will make it....you can just about see the real leaves forming...so very miniscule, but it gives me hope as they were non existent a day ago. the top green bit on the soil is half or the coty that came away with the seed casing =(
Other Stuff
we bought some new ferts as seen below...ive decided to experiment now i have this as it looks pretty comprehensive (except calcium)...please meet my new experimental method of growing...NLauto Vermigrow =D . There is nothing in that pot except vermiculite, a NLauto seed and a 50% strngth mix of that new fert (50% of weakest instructions on the back) it would be awesome if this grows well...time will tell.
Here is the ferts
and finally for those of you following this little scene.
GiGaPoT Elite mk1
This is the largest size the GiGapot comes in. its approximatly 200litres!! perfectly airated soil suspended nearly 2' in the air so plenty of clearance beneath for drip catching e.t.c. it eliminates weight accosiated issues with moving your plants around ie rotating, rearanging for height near the lights and in a pinch they can be rolled into the back of a transit van pronto =D
oh and they only cost a £1 for the mesh and £1 deposit on the trolly which you can get back when your finished or just steal it, lol
Its meant to be filled right up for growing and can last over a week without watering, but i wont be using these in a house with a family still in it, lol...this is for later.
whatcha think?
) complete.
Still have enough for one or two more. I have a short plastic basket (@ 5" tall 20" wide and 24" tall) that I was going to use to flower clones in a scrog next.
