My Mystery Indica Reveg

To save some time I have decided that I'm going to remove my little budding clones and get them going in a box with a load of cfl lamps (there are already hundreds of these cfls lying around the place) and put them into veg while my baby finishes off. Even though I'm not expecting to harvest until at least late February, this will allow the necessary 2 weeks of inactivity before the clones revert to veg mode and give a few weeks of veg growth before I put them back into the tent.
 
I'm a little concerned about a couple of the buds as about 50% of the pistils have already changed colour!

Moving along, the clones have been plucked with some minor root loss and would undoubtedly be stressed about that, but I'll leave them sitting in a weak nutrient solution for a day or two before I pot them and they will be fine.
 
To be honest, I can't even see any trichomes! Don't forget, they are only in their 4th week of flowering.
Thankfully, it's only the case with a couple of buds.

That being said, if this is indeed Northern Lights, the flowering period is only around 50 days.
 
In my moments of annoyance and disappointment, I forget to mention something that did go right - my improvised carbon filter.

My extraction pipe is made of 2 ft lengths of flexible 4" pieces that I simply duct taped together, but had not fully connected as I was waiting on the activated carbon to arrive while I was away. It duly did arrive and I constructed my pringles tube filter. I filled the tube with the carbon, tamped it off with some cotton wool and then stretched a nylon stocking over the end and added it to the ducting.

When I arrived home from my travels my grow room really smelt strongly and the time to put the filter had well and truly arrived. Once I had connected all the ducting and switched on the exhaust fan, I sniffed at the end of the duct and there was no smell coming through it at all and after it has been running for some time the room is completely clear of odours. I will have to leave this running 24/7 because if I don't the smell just percolates through the tent. I am now quite comfortable to let the tent simply vent straight into the room without having to worry to vent it to outside.

Quite by happenstance, I acquired a perfect length of 6" ducting from a clothes dryer vent and slid that over the 4" ducting. Even though I had shaken the ducting well beforehand, a whole mess of lint was forced out as I slid it over and it made a wonderful mess for me to clean up afterwards.

I've been a busy little beaver today organising my new little grow box for the 8 flowering clones and will probably pot them tomorrow. I have a total of 60w of cfls for the box which will provide between 3000 and 4200 lumens. This should be enough to give the clones a good head start until my baby finishes doing her thing.
 
I can be a little impatient and decided to pot all my clones tonight and leave them under the lights in the tent before moving them on to their new home with the cfls. What was really nice was my daughter helped me do it. Perhaps I should also add that I've spent the last week with her for the first time in 10 years due to being in different hemispheres and continents. :circle-of-love:

Why is it that most dads are ok with having lesbian daughters yet are less accepting of gay sons?
Tell me it's not related to our porn hub viewing habits!


Greengostarr, put your hands above your head and come quietly; hate speech is unacceptable. (is there a chuckle icon?)
