I know nothing about holding clones in stasis. Have you done it before? I don't mean to clog up your board, hope you don't mind.

I don't mind at all man, I appreciate the input. I have never held clones in stasis before(or even cut a clone before) but I have read up on it and I think that I can pull it off.

Cutting and rooting has been pretty easy for me, despite my best efforts to f* up and kill them all. Follow the advice on here and it should work out well. Just make sure they don't dry out. That is my biggest problem.

Thanks for your advice GreenChrome! I'm a little nervous about cutting off my clones,HaHa
My plants are doing so well and looking so great that I don't want to cut anything off of them

5-9-2012 it's been a week since I last updated.Today was the re-pot day all 4 got their final pots and I planted them in their new soil.I think that I made the right choice going with the Roots Organic seems like a better soil.
I took some measurements while I had them out and up close to me.
measurements:
the Void 5/2--12.5 inches 5/9-- 17 inches
the Vortex 5/2--14.5 inches 5/9-- 20 inches
SkyWalker 5/2--11 inches 5/9-- 16 inches
K.O. Kush 5/2--7 inches 5/9-- 9.5 inches
This Sunday is the big day...I'm going to a 12/12 cycle.
I wish that my K.O. would have gotten a little bigger before switching but I'm just gonna let it go to flower.I also took a few cuttings for clones...but with just one grow space I'm going to try and hold them in stasis in my fridge for a few weeks.this way I won't have to reinvest in more clones.(can't hurt to try right)
I also got some feminized Grape Widow seeds from a buddy of mine...put 10 into grow pellets on 5/2 so far 4 are up and planted into red solo cups,another will be ready tomorrow no signs in the other 5. I plan on growing these little girls outside as an experiment.
here are some new pics of my girls

Today is the "Big Day"! I went to 12/12 lighting schedule! I probably should have waited another week or 2 for the K.O.Kush but the rest were ready so decided just to let her switch with the others.it should be a lot easier to control the heat because I will be home for most of the on time.

9 days into flowering starting to see pistils forming on all of them.they are all doing great,there was a little yellowing of the tips of a few fan leaves on the K.O. but I dont think that it was a deal.I think that because she was smaller than the rest when I repotted them, she had a smaller root ball and she got a lot more of the Roots Organic which is a little hotter soil than the Fox Farms but she seems to be doing great otherwise.the 12/12 light schedule is alot easier to control the heat,but the humidity does get a little high sometimes I am able to leave the door cracked open to keep it at a decent level. it is absolutely AWESOME how much they grow each day.
I took some new measurements and pictures yesterday.
the Void---28 inches(17inches 5-9)
the Vortex---33 inches(20inches 5-9)
Sky Walker---30 inches(16inches 5-9)
K.O. Kush---20 inches(9 1/2inches 5-9)
the pictures are kinda crappy I'm still just using my phone but I will be getting a camera soon for all that upcoming "Bud Porn"

Looking good,
So hows the hydo stores in Michigan? Im from southern Ontario pretty close to the boarder, Always wonder If I should make a trip to Michigan for supplies. Here we got nothing good. Since its legal there you guys should have a the good stuff? Wondering what they would say crossing the boarder with that type of stuff, Im sure I can say I grow tomatoes in my house. can you buy seed from your local store?

temps above 80 will take all potential out of your plants. trust me,you must keep your temps down. i suggest air cooling your light.

dont take the trip. there are plenty of great internet sites out there and all of them are a better deal than any hydro store. my friend owns a hydro store and i still get better deals all over the internet. plus, most places will ship for free so don't let shipping fees fool you into going local

Welcome growrook! our hydro stores are pretty good here they have everything you need. I haven't really noticed any real big price difference. Although I really just bought my soil from them.probably for you it would be a little easier to order online than trying to explain your supplies at the border.

Thanks for the input Rudy.my temps were a struggle in the beginning but I have much better ventilation in my closet now so it really doesn't ever get above 80 anymore.
Looking excellent so far JT! You are going to have some big girls at the finish! When are you switching to 12/12? ..or have you already?

Thanks alot LoJ!
With the help of this site and a couple of books it's been a very easy grow thus far ...its all in the soil! I just try to make sure I keep the conditions right(water,light,heat,etc.)
I actually went to a 12/12 schedule on 5-13( I probably should have 7-10 days sooner) they are starting to really look beautiful! I'm a little surprised how great they have been doing...growing my own has been a goal of mine for a very long time and actually doing it has been a blast!
Thanks again for checking in on my grow.

6-5 23 days into flower.
plants are doing great with Buds Galore!I can't wait to sample them.time is just flying by! My wife is AWESOME and let me get a veg cabinet so now I can have a non-stop grow going The cabinet is perfect for what I need!It is 28x19x67 inches.it has a lower portion for clones and seedlings. 28x19x26 inches I have 4 23watt CFLs(6,400 lumens) it should be enough for what I'm doing.And the upper veg compartment is 28x19x40 my plan for right now is to have 8 23watt CFLs(12,800 lumens) it's nowhere near the 36,000 lumens my 400watt MH gave me but I think that it will be suffient I can always add more to it later, possibly a 200 watt CFL with a reflective hood down the road.
I started 10 feminized seeds that I got from a good friend in pellets(5 Grape Widow & 5 R2)much to my delight all 10 sprouted I now have them under 4 23 watt CFLs in my new veg cabinet along with the cuttings that I was keeping in stasis (I don't have much confidence that they will root but it is worth a try)
now that I have my veg cabinet I wont have to use this method again.
Now back to my girls in flower.
This grow has been going so good I really don't have much new news about my girls so I will just get to the measurements and a little "Bud Porn" sorry about the poor quality pics I'm still just using my phone.
the Void...39in.(28in. 5-21)
the Vortex...42in.(33in. 5-21)
Sky Walker...36in.(30in. 5-21)
K.O. Kush...25in.(20in. 5-21)

Nice to see everything is going good! Your clones you got there wilting, I would maybe mist them then put them into something larger that you can cover to keep humidity in. if you got some bigger pots your not using throw them in there an cover with something clear. that should stand them back up till there roots are stronger.
