Had some time in my hands and I just wanted to share my rooted clones , some will be put in a diy box to keep alive until my harvests are done, I don’t want to have to go through a re veg if I end up with a prized pheno type , I have a home made cfl veg box I am going to put some in , others will be going outside, I may take a round of clones off each , I don’t have land to put plants on so I put some in clusters some get found some don’t.

The ones in the blue cups haven’t rooted enough to show roots out the bottom

There are 2 in the front are amhurst sour diesel pheno #1 and the 2 in closest to the camera are A.S.D PHENO #2

I am slowly starting to harden them off I just try to go down -5% R/H every day


These things work amazing, I didn’t buy the square try that comes with it you can fit a lot more cell pods in it , and there not much smaller then the ones the rooted ones are in, next time I will get the proper ones and I’m gonna do as many as I can

So not much going on today , she still hasn't bounced back from the transplanting and her heavy defoliation
I have the scrog net trying to space everything out I may take another round of clones to make some more room in the centre of the canopy.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME DOING A SCROG SO PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE

I watered today @ph6.5 but I did it fast and didn’t let it sit before taking a ph reading but it read good and 10 mins later I checked again and it was @ph7 so I’m hopeing it doesn’t fuck me up. But I need to get a ph pen getting sick if the drops









This is my first scrog attempt so can anyone PLEASE give me some pointers on this









This is my next mint choc og set of clones , there’s 4 amhurst sour d 2 different pheno types.

 

[Carcass]

I can't really help you on the scrog (never done one) except to say that it
looks to me like you're doing it right so far...

 

[DeanWest89]

Thanks cass thanks a lot , I’ve read all I could possibly read , but it’s different putting it into practice, I’m just wondering if it would have been better to grow an untapped plant on the one side and he’s keep ticking towards the other side and once it gets close to the other side , top it to have everything else blow up, I guess it’s all trial and error. I would really like to try a sog grow , sick of the 100+ day veg cycles

 

[DeanWest89]

I know the clones are looking a bit rough they were in in amended soil to start , was lazy that night , when I transplanted them I put them in amended soil but I didn’t pre inoculate them so next few days they will start to look healthy will keep you posted, I have amhurst sour diesel and mint choc og , a bock dog and 3 kings which one do you think would grow best in my space bucket

 

[Carcass]

The clones look fine to me-I've only tried cloning once,a few
years ago,and It failed miserably-I'll probably try again whenI have more room
to grow..I'll do a little research first,though.
As far as which one to try in the spacebucket...Maybe whichever
one is known to grow a little smaller than the rest?
It actually boils down to which one you can control in that small space-they're all going to do their best to outgrow it...

 

[DeanWest89]

Thanks cass I killed the first round before these ones was too busy to keep the leafs moist ( no roots yet so only way to water is by spraying) I guess I’ll be popping another mint og in the space bucket, it’s the smaller of the bunch indica dom . I am getting ready to throw some outside , 3 kings are supposed to be 4-6000 gram yield outside , absolutely insane , the black dog could go in the bucket too maybe I’ll try that one who knows until the day comes thoe I make plans and change them on the fly all the time

 

[DeanWest89]

SOS PLEASE HELP my led fell on my plant during cleaning and it completely ruined one of my mains and a few sides but I’m just concerned about the main please help how can I fix this

 

[Carcass]

Don't panic ...it's not as bad as it looks-(and it does look pretty bad)
As long as there's a little of the outside "skin"still connected it should be fine...
Put it back where it belongs and then put a couple of zip ties around it tightly enough to hold it in place,then wrap it with electrical tape to keep it from drying out too much.
Plan on leaving the zip ties on there for the life of the plant-you may have to replace them(one at a time) as the stem gets fatter.
I've had them split before,and zip ties and tape held them together for months afterward.
Just be very careful not to rip the "skin" anymore while doing the repair- that's what all the goodies flow through to keep the branch alive.

 

[DeanWest89]

I used garden rubber coated wire to try and hold it together there was a small part of skin left but I am so discouraged and pissed over spending so much time for this to happen so if it doesn’t come back I am going to cut the plant up into clones and just gonna SOG it, but I think I’m done with these long veg times last grow I had a big fuck up like this too and I just really feel like my rewards aren’t worth the time and stress of having this happen, I am just very discouraged and it took everything for me not to pick it by the stalk and to just yank it and toss it , I guess the pills help because I didn’t . But this is my life story all in a nutshell man. Thanks for the quick response cass I really appreciate it , 2 others got cut clean off but took a huge chuck of skin off the remaining stalk so I think this is going to be a long recovery on top it hasn’t bounced back from the transplant yet. Do you think the SOG. Idea is good ?? Do you think I would get the same yields as vegging this for another 5 weeks ?

 

[DeanWest89]

Like that one branch could bring me almost a QP doing the scrog so I really hope it comes back

 

[DeanWest89]

Do you think it would fully heal to the point I could tuck and bend still or do I need to just let it go where it goes so I don’t stress it ?

 

[Carcass]

Yes,it should heal well enough,just try not to put much stress(twisting or pulling) on
that area while you bend things- it'll probably develop a large knot in that area toward the bottom of the break,but the upper part may not actually re attach to the stalk-that's why it'll always need extra support toward the top part of the break.

 

[DeanWest89]

@carcass thanks for the advice, the branch hasn’t died and by looking from the top you can’t tell if anything is damaged so I think it’s doing okay for now but we’ll see, I really appreciate the quick response brotherman

 

[Carcass]

I'm just glad it worked-these are some tough plants...like most weeds...

 

[DeanWest89]

Yeah , like I’ve tapped. Few smaller branches on the plant when I attempted shpercrip broke a few but I never tried to heal up something this big

So after dropping my led on my mint choc og in the 10gal smart pot it broke a huge main on the plant but after some good advice from some amazing people , you know who you are , I think it’s safe to say it’s gonna heal up just fine , but I do expect that side or the plant to get stunted for a small amount of time but that’s okay. I’m just happy I didn’t loose it , that branch would have significantly lowered my yield if it didn’t make it anyway let’s jump into another update

I have been really busy this week and haven’t been able to take any pics, but I quit that job to go to another one closer to home and same pay, so I will get more time for my family and for my passion

So I watered today ph@6.5-6.8 drops aren’t so accurate but I’ve gotten pretty good at getting it close. She got 3 littered of water added very slowly On the rootball and around it

Even without the scrog the canopy is staying nice all that hard work is Starting to pay off

This is a top pic ( obvs) but I can’t even tell which one was broken , so I’d like to think this is a good thing


I have a fan blowing right in her on low to get here moving Im trying to build up a bigger main stalk

So you can see the big one on the pics side of the plant that’s the one that got broken, I’ve never broken something that thick before and never tried healing one this bad but is seems okay so far , I got rid of the scrog so I can relieve the stress off the wound until it heals


So everything is back in their home minus the scrog net, so I’m just gonna keep it out until I know the plant can take the lst to flatten it out under the scrog net


There was a few smaller branches that broke right off so you can see the bare spot that want there before , just more clones I guess




Side update

Three blue kings


Black dog


These are all my clones and other plants , some are going outside

This is my new space bucket candidate
I’m just gonna let it grow into the pot it was just transplanted



Thanks for reading growmmies I really am starting to enjoy journaling and I have already learned so much off all you fine people

Have a great week and as always

Happy growing

 

[Carcass]

She's carrying on as if nothing ever happened-like I always say,It bothered you
a lot more than it bothered her.
Everything else seems to be coming along nicely..the Mint Chocolate OG looks like a great candidate for the bucket...

 

[DeanWest89]

Thanks @carcass I really appreciate the help my friend , I am excited to start the space bucket run I made a diy carbon filter so I can do a start to finish in it , and I just picked up a new mountain air carbon filter for the 2x4. Now I just need a fan
