Now the veg tent

Phantom Cookies Domina - Day 40 - 12,500 lux - 26" from light - 3" tall

Chocolate Haze - Day 40 - 13,000 lux - 24" from light - 4" tall

White Widow - Day 13 - 9,000 lux - 28" from light - 1.75" tall

Not sure why she is growing so slow but she is growing. One thing I did differently is to moisten the Promix first. I usually just use a tiny amount of water to start. I will up-pot today into a 2 gallon fabric pot.

Critical Purple Kush - Day 1 - 9,000 lux - 28" from light - 0.25" tall

This baby cracked the surface yesterday evening right on schedule. Has been in a humidity dome and will continue with that for a couple more days to see if we can get better growth than that WW seedling.

Next up, the clones...

and finally, the clones...

There was measurable growth of about 1/4" on a couple of these clones. Gives me hope that some may survive.

Chocolate Haze Clone #1 Day 5 - 9,000 lux - 28" from light - 2" tall

Chocolate Haze Clone #2 Day 5 - 9,000 lux - 28" from light - 1.75" tall

Chocolate Haze Clone #3 Day 4 - 9,000 lux - 28" from light - 1.5" tall

Chocolate Haze Clone #4 Day 4 - 9,000 lux - 28" from light - 1.5" tall

That's all for today, have a wonderful day and thanks for dropping by!

Everything's looking great,Hutch !
Looks like all the clones are going to make it...I don't know much about cloning, but
those look damn good...

Up-potted the White Widow Auto seedling to a two gallon fabric pot in Promix HP. This WW was grown from the only seed my WW auto grow of last spring. It produced around 90 grams but I let it go too long, burned the buds and dried it too quickly. The result was horrible stuff, dry, hairy and loose. But it works so it's in our ever-shrinking smoke rotation even though it tastes and smells awful and I hate touching it to get ready for the pipe. If there's any left when the AK-48 is ready I will compost the shit out of it.

But I digress, I wanted to say how fantastic I feel right now (ok, partly due to the aforementioned dried-up White Widow) because I found where I kept the history data regarding the light in my veg tent. First stage of getting old is forgetting your data, the second stage is forgetting where you put your data so you wouldn't forget it. Anyway, it turns out 9,000 lux on my meter is just fine and that's what this WW was getting. As she is only a couple of days behind where she should be I attribute it to over watering.

I normally plant autoflowers directly into their final container but I started this WW in a solo cup as I wasn't certain of its viability. Up-potting usually subtracts a few days from the the veg period of an auto and can result in flowering before there is enough vegetative growth.

The big four on the handle is something I put on all the pots and cups. I like to rotate the plants a quarter turn each day but I would always forget which direction to turn them and how to place them back in the tent. Because old. So tomorrow every pot will be turned to the number 1 position. OCD much?

Yesterday we also cut some clones from the Phantom Cookies Domina and planted them in Promix HP. We didn't use any rooting gel. Just stuck them in a hole in the moistened soil after removing leaves from the node above the cut. They will stay under humidity domes for 7 days. We will feed them a light nutrient solution via spray on their leaves several times per day.

Two of the Chocolate Haze clones have survived seven days so they are out from under their domes.

It will take a few days for the soil to be dry enough for feeding but we don't want to kill any roots that may be there so it has to stay a bit moist.

I hope this is as uncomplicated as it gets, I don't really want to get into rockwool or rooting gel as I'm stubborn and have never needed those things when taking cuttings from other plants. If this fails then of course I'll up the game.

Looking good, Hutch!
Are you planning to drop a Dr Seedsman CBD seed before it gets too crowded in the veg area?

Thanks DD! I could get another seedling in there but I don't think I'll have room to grow it out in flower. I already have four plants committed to my 27" x 27" flower tent in two to three weeks. I'm going to have to put them all into 2 gallon pots as it is. I plan to start the Dr Seedsman and a Seedsman Black Sugar as soon as the veg tent is freed-up.
