Thanx, Mr Krip! Yea, I did pollinate her with the Kali male.
Thanx, Kid!
Yea, the Headband is strong. This upcoming harvest should last me a loooong time! Ha, ha!
Thanx for the compliment. I got a lot of catching up to do on your journals!
Thanx, Sisco! The T5 is nice. I've got a 2'x2' one with 8 veg bulbs. I just looked and one of them is out. It can wait. There's plenty of light in there. It's only a 3'x3' room, so this light is perfect. This one cost me about $270 with the bulbs($10-$15 each), but I think they have come down now. But, if you don't have the dough, CFLs work good too. Remember my clamp light special?
Doc Dread; it has been a long time! Thanx, and good to hear from you!
Thanx, brother XL!
Update coming shortly.

OK. I owe y'all some pics!
These are from 4-7-12
VEG ROOM
I transplanted the Mystery clones into large pots, and potted 3 of the 6 Headband clones. Then I was out of room. Too many plants, arrggg! I wish I had someone to give some clones to. I ended up leaving 3 clones in the cloner. Now, they are like an experiment.

Ha, ha! Yea, I got a little exited and just started cloning w/o thinking what I would do with all these plants.
The Headband is not so much now. I quit smoking it at work, and only smoke it in a pipe. Too many bowls and I do get a little confused
, but no paranoia. I think the paranoia came with being on the job. This smoke is a weekend warrior; not a weekday worker.
Thanx, IGG! Yes. It smells good, it tastes good, and it's strong. I'm so glad I found that seed in that bag, and I was lucky it was female.
Man, I turned 1 seed into 11 plants!........and counting; I'm going to make one a mom.
Appreciate the compliment, XL! Yes, quite busy. I need more closets, or a B.A.T. like OMM!
Updated pics coming later today. Nighty night.

All right. Here's an update on the veg room.
The experimental clones are vegging well. They are stretching from being so far from the light, but are branching out.

Ha, ha! Soon I'll have to move them to the hall to get it all in the shot.
Thanx, buddy! With this post, I'll be caught up with my journal. Then I can finally catch up with yours.
It's kinda like standing at the bottom of Mt. Everest getting ready to climb. It's quite daunting; but you know it will be a great adventure.
Today I moved things around in both rooms.
In the veg room I moved the K mom to her own tent. I picked up a small tent (16"x16"x47.5") earlier, and put it to use. It was used, but in new condition.
This gave me room in the closet to put the HB clone on stands to get them closer to the light.
The experimental clones are doing good; over 9" tall, and one with more branches then the transplanted ones.

Branching
I didn't measure the roots; too long. I guess they are over 3'!
In the flower room the ladies were holding each other up, except on the sides of the bunch. As I pulled plants the one next to it would flop over to the floor. One even broke a little.
Before lights on and staking
Down the rabbit hole.
Bustin' out
Staking with string
Self super cropping?
Breakage
This branch had been down a while and started super cropping.
Back in the closet
Whew! Now I can catch up on all y'alls journals.
Hey tricome
Now that is a FULL HOUSE!
Wow! I take it you aren't married!
Congrats on the new/used tent. Looks nice
Do you give those floppy girls any silica?
Once again: Wow!
Will be good to see you out and about again...bring a sandwich!

Hey Tricome -
First, Happy 4/20 day my friend!
Nice job getting them staked up. They were co-dependent, so to speak...
Second, this pic looks like the plant really is trying to bust out - it looks like it's checking to see if the coast is clear, haha:

Hey, pops!
Ha, ha! You're right. If I were; I certainly wouldn't have the closet space!
I only gave them a little silica a couple of times. They probably could have used more.
I've been trailing along your journal. I'll catch up sometime! I'll try to be around more; just gotta stay up a little later
, and get used to the new site layout.
Thanx, 8! I hope yours was great!
Yeah, they were co-dependent.
"Is it cool?" Ha,ha! --- more like "Is he going to feed us?"
Thanx, papa t!
Hopefully, I'll get an update together soon.
2 weeks to harvest!

UPDATE
The experimental clones finally drooped, but only because they drank the res dry. The 2 tall ones were a foot tall, and the roots ended up being 2' long. The cloner is the only time I used non-organic nutes and pHed. I used Clonex gel on the cuttings and Clonex solution in the res. Then I just left it alone. No changing, adding, or pHing after filling. I potted the heartiest one and reluctantly terminated the other two. Unfortunately, it never recovered, and the X clones are gone.
dry res
Poor doomed clone
In the veg room plants are doing ok. The Headbands are growing slowly, and the Mysteries are getting a little leaf problems; but nothing major.
It looks like nute burn, but IDK. That's hard with organics, and they went through a couple of my usual droughts. The most recent being yesterday. (The seeds I make should be pretty drought resistant.) I gave them a slightly lighter feeding than usual today.
The Kalichakra mom suffered a previous drought as well, but recovered nicely. She's doing good despite being all alone in her little tent with no ventilation fans.
A funky leaf I found on her.
The flowering ladies are looking good. They had a little dry spell too, and lost a few leaves and yellowed a few more. The drought frosted them up though.

Shame on you for the drought 
They are looking much better now.
Sorry you lost a clone.
Those last two pictures are dynamite!

Thanx, OMM!
Oddly enough, the droughts may have contributed to the frosting. Unfortunately, there was a little too much drought, and I believe it affected yield.
It was much lower than normal. But, it was a decent haul.
1) 21.8g
2) 21.1g
3) 21.6g
4)25g
total) 89.5g
Not bad at all, but I usually yield 30-40g per plant of that size. They were all about 3'.
I took a week to harvest so, I didn't have to do all that "trimming" at once. I put trimming in quotation mark because didn't use scissors this time. I just broke off the leaves with with my hands. I was able to do this because I let them get dry before harvest. This made me over dry the first two. The next two; I hung for 2 days and then into jars.
Here are pics of a couple at harvest. the last one was the highest yielding. Was it the extra week?
VEG ROOM
Kalichakra mom
Headbands
FLOWER ROOM
Mysteries- Almost 2 week from 12/12.
Lots of lower growth. I think I'll take clones. I think I remember hearing to take clones from flowering plants at 21 days.
I also made a very small amount of hash; not much leaf on these.
