My Low Budget Medical Grow

I kept my jack herer clone around hoping for new growth and it did finally come and slowly kept trucking along.The first sign of new growth 24 days ago

I could only picture the flux train with this picture from 17 days ago
daves_00349.JPG

here is a picture from tonight also sporting a couple clones I want
daves_0344.JPG


Both of these clones were cut like 2 months ago 42 days into flower and took for ever in a grow timeline. I transplanted them both into 1.6 gallon pots with my ammended mix and the same mycos dusting but added a small hand full of epsoma garden tone since I plan to flip them soon with no more transplanting, just gettin clones first is what I am going for.
This is my current veg set up under only 2 bulbs in this 4 bulb T5 fixture. That is a try a potatos in that 18 gallon potato grow bag on the left side. During my defoiliating trimming on the flux trained berry bomb I have thrown the leaves in the potato bag.My plans are to bury the stems until they flower.

this was the first to show and I have been mounding up on it
daves_0441.JPG

and how I started 9 days ago with 6 old store bought potatos on about 6 inches of recycled mix from my grows and outdoor unsifted compost from 2 different locations and variety.It may be too neutral for acid loveing potatos and my light hours of 18 hours on and 6 hours off should help them since they dont grow on photo periods just time.I hope to have a few spuds in 4 months maybe.
I am daily multiple spray misting the mix surface and my others usually around lights on and near lights off.This is helping the rh in this dry house

Here is what I have flowering now ,all for the Solo Grow.

daves_01335.JPG

My second sweet god was male and I let him develope for making seeds on the female sweet god plant only. I left him in until the polen sacs swelled and them removed him from the grow.When the first 2 opened on him I pulled them off with tweezers and painted the lowest buds on the stem.I did this 4 nights in a row useing newly opened sacs each night. Then he went to the worm bin root ball and all where I found a worm had grown.
The SG couple and their mateing and his ending:)

over these 6 low bud sights just starting with few pistils that changed color and shriveled on most letting me think I had been successful on this try. I am guessing this plant has 6 or more weeks left giving enough time for seed developement.It will be rewarding for some free seeds that could be better or worse but free:cheer:

I enjoy the live worm at the end letting me feel I was healthy and I never seen it in the beginning or intentionally added it.I think it was added as an egg through my compost or the worm castings in the mix used.
When I transplanted my 2 old clones they each had a live worm seen at the edge of root ball.I expect to see them again when I harvest these plants in May :hmmmm: most likely.
berry bomb's first then the herer's

I really like how my veg side is growing for me.I ended up buying 2 more bulbs to have all 4 bulb spots filled and burning more watts than my flower side now. I am trying for a bigger harvest with these since I am already finishing up the last harvest and my little future harvest currently flowering wont be until next year.I got some rooting gel and plugs and another bottle of SNS 217 too but have not cut anything yet. The clones I was eying from my Jack Herer and Berry Bomb are now main branches for me I will LST on the JH and have been training to my idea of a flux style on the Berry Bomb.
daves_0572.JPG

This Jack Herer has 6 mains I will LSt and there are cuttings I want to get under them that are close. She has some preflowers and is looking real mature now.I just want her a little bigger

Then my new girls with the Purple Bud on left and Blue Cheese on the right.
daves_0374.JPG

since picture tonight about 28 days from germination they are both topped at the 6th node starting from first 3 bladed leaves. I want big plants and some clones from them too. Here is the Purple Bud fem seed plant from white label seeds through herbies

tHANKS FOR CHECKING IN ON MY GROW GOOD PEOPLE OF :420: :passitleft:
 
they looking amazing :goodjob:
Thankyou b.real I have good feelings on them growing decent for me. I just did some lst on my herer and watered the whole closet. I am wanting to grow water only from a homemade mix soon.Right now the stuff everyone in veg has including what I added at transplant and on top followed by compost mulch is almost close to just water but I have been seeing something like a fade in between leaf viens I think could be needing Nitrogen so they were given some BioMarine at 2 teaspoon to a gallon strength, I even gave this same mixture to my flowering solo cups that I also slowed down on feeding as far as the GO line recipes.

I just added that side cfl lighting thinking it could help my sick one and the seeds I am growing down low there..The smaller one is a 3500k and the other is like 6500 I think not a flowering bulb.I bought it for the veg side potatos but thats going crap so far. I really like this way and its cheap so I will get more for side lighting if I fill up my closet and feel the Led cant handle it

then ther is this one
daves_02613.JPG

Things are moving along with the seeds which look big so fast. I also have some seeds on the THC Bomb without any signs of hermie ing so they got some drifting daddy Sweet God. I will some day try this wild cross and my replacement regular beans of Sweet God too but bigger. I have these thoughts of harvesting upper half of the THCB and then transplanting and revegging it to clone and possibly make fem seeds which is another some day thing , since shes looking good and I did enjoy the cousin Berry Bomb , this one should be stronger :)
 
they look like mine just bigger lol. I hope they get fat for you. you're gonna need to weight the cups down with rocks or something.
 
I hope everyone had a great holiday like our family did :circle-of-love:
Tonight I went into the veg side and did some work on the Jack Herer and Berry Bomb clones getting them ready to flip and I did some before and afters to show
Jack herer same angle before and afters

Her leaves smell good and stronger than my flowering plants.I feel this plant is able to flower 28g if I flipped her now but that really isnt enough and I need to give her a little more time as much as 2 more weeks or 12/13/14 I am looking for 2 if possible. I am thinking transplant possibly.
This Berry Bomb clone was a suppose to be gifted to my friends by a time but it was slow and shakey then. I will be transplanting this one for sure into a bigger pot that is self watering that they had also given me. I plan to have clones of this one through the winter and into summer to make up on that.

daves_01243.JPG

This is the first time I have really attempted a flux style training. With some time after the transplant I will try to get those inner bud sites taller and even with the perimeter toppers. I will have to research more into Light Addicts Fluxing ways more.I think topping those outer should send som inner growth.
My other 2 in veg need transplants also and appear to have cuttings to take I will do that tomorrow hopefully too
Tomorrow's plans are to transplant all 4 in veg take clones from Jack Herer,Blue Cheese and Purple bud

The late sweet god male plant remains are nowhere to be seen and I replaced todays trimmings in that spot.

I am trying to set up a perpetual on 4 strains in my little closet veg and flower spaces. With allowed 12 plants I would try to have 4 plants flowering always and 2 clones from each of them vegging at different ages to fit into rotation.

Thankyou for checking out my grow :peace:
 
they look great! which led fixture do you have? how many watts does the unit use according to the sticker on the back of it?
 
Thanks b.real and my fixture is the 96x3w reflector
here you go on that sticker
daves_00170.JPG

I want another one but like the price of yours better. 4 more 3w leds but they say covers little less area than mine which covers my flowering space. I want another one in there to feel better as I have not grown in that full footprint yet but will be soon and already planning cfl corner lighting extra. Let me know what else than price and extra leds would make it any better, both are awesome in my book, I am glad your growing with one now, dont stare at you plants too long,even if you dont see the actual bulbs the side glare strains my eyes.
Anyways Im sucking now it feels , you think too close or just unsatisfactory care :)
daves_00264.JPG
 
thanks. my unit tells me how many watts it uses, but that one doesn't. weird. what are the veg girls gonna go under for bloom?

I've noticed that leds highlight deficiencies, but man the girls in the cups look hungry. in small containers they can be a pain. they need food every watering :smokin:
 
I forgot to bring pots to transplant in from storage for the Jack,BlueCheese and Purple but had the self watering one for my Berry Bomb
It only says 14 inches and has no other size. I believe it is about three times the size almost of the current pot.It has a fabric wick from the lower resivoir that also has a float gauge

daves_01338.JPG

Most of the new soil is on the sides with only 1 to 1 and a 1/2 inches under the root ball. I used the Mykos stuff I have and after I put another adding of the Epsoma Garden Tone over the new stuff which is same mix just cooked longer that they have been in since last transplant I mulched with my compost. I really like the roots on her and know all the others need bigger pots for sure now.
Some cleaning was done under the Jack Herer taking cuttings to try and root.They were thin stemmed and might make it.It is left with all the main branches I want to LST outwards since this is a close to hieght I would like to flip at--12 days at longest now :)

I've noticed that leds highlight deficiencies, but man those girls in the cups look very hungry :smokin:

Im not that good and am used to bigger pots.Its too late to try to fix them I feel ,Im gonna just let them be probably. I will be bringing them in staggered by a week or two. All four can fit I think in the flower space under the reflector coming from my T5
 
2-4 plants sounds good. I'm doing 2 under my 100x3w model and gonna see how it goes. feed the cup girls every time you water! I actually edited my post as you were typing, it is difficult in small containers.
