Lexort's Kaneh Bosm CFL Garden

Oh- I didn't realize they were going to be that small. I've read some people cloning little short ones like that no problem - but I've never managed to get the short ones to root myself. I like to cut them 4-6" long.
I don't like really giving advice on what people should or shouldn't do- for lots of reasons including the fact that I'm pretty novice in most areas myself. So I just fall back on 'what I would do' when it comes to giving advice. Not that this means it's right!
I would wait. I would also transplant into larger pots, unless you just don't have room. Sure- people grow in small pots- and it's a way of stunting growth that can be useful, but if you want more clones to start your operation with, you'll get them sooner by allowing the plant a better root system. Plants grow in an exponential way so the real growth happens when they get bigger. Then you can go back to the small containers with the future clones.
Just an idea. In any case I'd wait till I could get more substantial cuttings cause in the past all my little 2" ones have flopped over and died for some reason.

Ok i think I will just stop tying them down so much to allow the branches to get a bit longer. Its my fault anyways that they are so short i get a little crazy with lst sometimes lol. Transplanting isnt really a option for me other wise I would but due to my limited space everything has to be micro. Do you think they would be ready for the next level of nute strength it has more nitrogen in it then the ratio they been getting. I'm still getting used to the 3-part nute system and to be honest this is the littlest I've ever seen my plants i had beefyer plants using miracle grow liquid ferts then this GH flora series 3-part stuff. I appreciate all the help you have given me and i know that you are still kinda newish but you still seem to have more experience then me lol.

Wanted to add that the next level of nutes is 3tsp of grow 2tsp of micro and 1tsp of bloom i had been using 1tsp grow 1tsp micro and 1tsp bloom. I have the next level of nutes already mixed up and ready to go but wasn't sure if I should give it to them yet.

I'm not really new to growing. Just that I never had any good info in the past- never had internet until recently here and only had one raggedy growing book for help along with a bit of info- some good and some very bad , from another guy I grew with a time or two. Mostly, until I got internet and joined 420 I didn't put as much thought and effort in as I should have, and kept trying to reinvent the wheel wrong instead of finding the instructions that said to make it round- shaped. Also- I just didn't have any information so a lot of stuff is new to me.
Based on the light color and the fact that they're not showing any nute burn yes I think you could up the N a bit. I haven't used the GH nutes though I've had a bunch laying around for ten years now and keep thinking I will try them, if they haven't somehow gone bad.
I think the LST looks good. They just need a few more days to shoot sprouts upwards then you could hack them back down again and use the cuttings.

 

[lexort420]

Ya that's my bad i didnt mean your new poor wording on my part. Ive seen your grow so i know you aint new lol i love your plants and wish i could grow them big like that I just can't due to space and security reasons. Sorry bout the new thing should've said novice or intermediate cause frankly compared to me your a pro as far as im concerned. You and oldmeduser have helped me alot. I started out with some books i got from a buddy who dont grow anymore and then i still had unanswered questions so i turned to the internet and it was a long time before i felt like i could even join this site cause i had absolutely nothing to offer but after a few grows i decided to join 420 magazine and give back what i could and also futher my learning by taking part in this wonderful community. Anyways i will definitely give them the new batch of nutes next watering. Thanks for tagging along with my journal and I hope you continue yours cause I was really enjoying seeing you work your magic lol

Hey man don't worry at all about that comment it didn't bother me in any way! I was just trying to explain that I'm sort of a mix of newbie and semi-experienced grower. Some things I'm pretty experienced with and others I'm way behind in because of my Neanderthal growing past. I have nothing like the skills of OldMedUser. Anyway, I don't give a crap if you call me new or anything . There are lots of people on this forum above only grown a year or two who are much better growers than I am. Honestly I don't attach any ego to the growing thing at all. I wish I could go to growing school or get a job growing for a few years. But maybe 420 is as good as gets in the grower night-school department.
By the way- sleepy yet Lexort? Lol...

 

[lexort420]

Nah not sleepy its been over 24hrs for me lost track now lol ya growing school would be pretty cool for me this is as close as it gets to that. You sleepy weasel? Lol if im keeping you up ill shut up lol just cause i cant sleep dont mean everyone else gotta follow suit lol. I got insomnia pretty bad so bad that when i lived in the same apartment building as my sister i lived right above her apartment and after a few months of that she called me and told me to come down to her apartment cause she wanted to talk to me so i was like ok sure when i got down there she says " alright I gotta ask you something and please don't be mad but i gotta ask" and she paused a minute then continued " do you smoke meth?" And i was a bit shocked at first but then just laughed at her and said no why are you asking, then she explained that she can hear me all day and night walking about and that it seemed like i never slept lol i was like no never touched that crap and never will. It was funny she thought that cause she knew i smoked bud and hell I'd smoke it with her and she never understood how i could smoke all day everyday and never sleep lol.

 

[Weaselcracker]

He he that's pretty funny. Kind of cute sis was looking out for you. You'd think she would have figured the insomnia thing out sooner though. Some of my earliest memories are of laying awake all night. I remember asking my mom 'how to sleep'. Still haven't figured that one out really. I'm more nocturnal than insomniac and would love to stay up all night every night but unfortunately other people and responsibilities keep me up in the day. No I'm not sleepy but I'm going to try otherwise I'll be suffering tomorrow!

 

[lexort420]

Ya i figured my sis would have thought insomnia before meth but its whatever lol she knows now. Ya I tend to be nocturnal usually when I can sleep its during the day most the time. Alright catch ya later and good luck with your sleep lol

Maybe stop drinking that poison that you you put your plants in the empty containers of. ::

I used to have serious insomnia but it went away after my little stroke. Not the kid of cure I'd recommend to most people but it it stopped a lifetime of insomnia for me.

Seriously tho soda pop is killing a lot of people. Same with these f'n energy drinks and most of the crap that passes for food these days.
I better not start a rant on stuff like corporate greed and how it enslaves us. None of us will live long enough to hear it all.

I see you've got rid of the old yellow leaves and that's good. That 3-2-1 mix should work good for veg now. I used to go with 3-3-1 when I used the AN 3-part but was using the stronger MH lighting that could better utilize the extra N from the Micro. You might do OK with a 2-2-1 mix as well but if you feed now at half the max all should be good.

You have a couple of long side branches that you could clone from. Just make sure that there is one cleaned off node under the soil to give it a better chance of rooting. I like to get 3 or 4 inches above ground for clones but have done tiny little ones and once they get growing they are no different than the rest and grow fine.

I have that same roll of green twist tie. Handy stuff.

[lexort420]

Well OMU i don't drink that poison that my plants are potted in anymore my self except the gatorade i do drink that. I had gotten the pop bottles from some friends who do drink it. Pop makes me too edgy and i had to stop. I agree that the stuff will kill ya among other things and i know where your going with the corporate greed bit and I totally agree. And thanks for letting me know that the next level of nutes is good to use i had them mixed up like a week ago but wasnt sure if i should use em yet now I am lol. If you think i can clone now I'll trust you and give it a go you haven't led me astray on any of your advice so far lol thanks for stop by OMU.

 

[lexort420]

Here's today's picture update sorry I didn't do it sooner i caught a stupid chest cold from the misses anyways on to the pictures

 

[Wreckedsummer]

Holy shit, look at your little one... Where has the time gone??

Great job on the training my man! How's the ol Epson salts going? Did you end up giving them another hit?

 

[lexort420]

Ya i gave them epsom salt twice now but today was feed day. Thanks i haven't done much more in the way of lst. Been thinking about taking a couple clones within the next few days. Im just wanting to feel better first lol your girls are looking good btw

 

[Wreckedsummer]

Nice
Ha-ha was having the same thoughts. Might veg these girls for another week or so then clone one. Exciting times ahead, its cool we're on the same time line.
Hope you feel better soon brother, damn misses

 

[lexort420]

Thanks bud and ya its cool we are practically on the same page lol have you hit yours with anymore epsom salt? I didn't see ya mention it in your journal.

 

[Wreckedsummer]

Nar just the one hit. I think the ph was the root of the problem.
Happy days bro! Can't wait to see your flowers!

 

[lexort420]

Same here bro anxious to see your flower and mine lol

 

[lexort420]

Peeked in at the girls just now and i just cant figure out if more leaves are yellowing or if i didnt trim all the affected leaves off. The new growth looks good but its the yellowing and rust spots on the older leaves that has me concerned and a little frustrated. Oddly the clone in the smaller container looks better then the one in the bigger container. Ill get pictures after bit.

 

[lexort420]

Heres the pictures
