Where ya been?
I been around.
Some of you may have seen a few of my posts online, but there no place like home.
Had a major fail growing during one of the worst and brutal heat summers.
I had lost to the heat and wanted to shut it down.
My 12 remaining ladies in veg looked like I felt....Depressed. Clinically.
I had lost the mojo and felt depressed.
My personal life was reflective of how my ladies looked.
This cycle lasted for many weeks into the summer.
I needed to hit the reset button but...how.
Shiggity Flip a friend in need...
Shiggity reached out to me one morning.
He was concerned I would quit and gave me many many things positive to focus on.
I wont provide details but lets say that's exactly what I needed to hear.
Over the course of our chats I started to spend more time in the grow room.
The weather did eventually break and my spirits improved with the weather.
Somehow I managed to keep them alive but just barely.
They recovered enough to take clones.
These clones are what we are working with for this grow.
Lets get growing shall we?
This is my veg tent.
These 22 clones were moved from Solos to 1 gal softies a couple of days before these pics.
These ladies are Pyramid Tut, Inhouse Platinum Gorilla and CSI Humboldt The Purple D.
Here in week 3 I added 5 seedlings to the clones for a total of 22.
They are just tall enuf for topping and LST.
Here is one of the Tut clones about ten days later.
All were topped and LST'd at 12 inches tall.
I used plant staples to spread her out.
Here are the clones again in week 4 / 5.
I chose 8 of them for up potting into 3 gals. (Four Plat Gorilla and Four Tut )
Tut Quartet in 3 gal softies
Platinum Gorilla Quartet in 3 gal softies.
Current Tent view at five weeks veg.
I now have 8 ladies in 3's and the remainder in 1's.
I am trying to fill out the rootball in the 3's so I can up pot to 7 gals in a couple of weeks.
So, that was a mouthful.
I almost forgot how to arrange the recap in a manner that make sense.
It's good to get back to growing...with a little help from the gang.
Peace and green blessings.
