Re: Queen's Sophmore Grow F - Lemon Skunk - Big Bang - Along With Some Bag Seed Sprou
Hmm, wonders about the heat stress because my temps have remained in the 70's with the exception of yesterday when it got to be 80. It hasn't been more than that.
Room temperature is different from canopy temperature. Do you have a hygrometer? Place it on top of the canopy and get some reading. If you don't have one then use your hand, palm face down, and leave it there for 5 mins and let us know how hot it is.
Yeah, them being tall has been the problem but the top part of the closet would give them room but I can't set the lights up higher.
That's where I'm susspecting the heat stress is from, by the light not being higher and the trees not being shorter. You can start fresh with new mothers and take cuttings from the top to keep them short.
So coco can be over watered? Someone told me it couldn't so I guess I proved that theory wrong!
Yes, it can. Coco cannot be over water if the drainage is run to waste, or the run off is not sitting in a saucer pan. This will not properly drain the water within the coco and allow it to hold more water then the plant needs, resulting in over watering.
I was gonna clone them after I moved. But wouldn't it be too late to put them in flower now since I have a little less than a month before I have to move.
You can still clone them and keep them under veg. No need to flower them since you've mentioned before that you'll be moving soon. I did not suggest flowering them in your current space, but to get them ready all rooted for the new space and there you'll flower them out. Just a thought to get the most out of time.
I just cut the bottom branches and leaves off as I have seen this done with mothers on here.
You did the right thing if you're about to flower out the plant. Removing the bottom branches will encourage top growth for heavy colas to form during flowering. However, not recommended for mother plants as they will only get taller and in this case almost reaching maxium height. Bringing the plant closer to light without proper ventilation = heat stress.
Plus, I thought if you took cuttings from the top of the plant, they would be slower to root or less successful?
Plant regenerate regardless of were cutting is made. Faster or slower is minute differences. Most likely what you're comparing to is strain vs strain more so then the placement of branches within one strain. So, takign cutting from top or bottom will have very similar rooting time. The top will be most fresh and healthy since they are the newest growth.
Plus, since a moving company is moving me, I wasn't trying to have to deal with the issue of trying to hide a bunch of clones, where 2 plants would be easier to hide.
Let the moving company move the heavy stuff. Never let them touch your plants no matter how many you have in the box. I would move them myself and put in my car along with anything valuble. With clones being smaller in height I can easily place them inside a tote (with holes for ventilation) and put them inside the car in the back seat with a/c on (to keep the temp cool and air circulated).
So now don't put a lid on the nute bottles leave them open?
Ah I didn't make myself clear sorry about that. Yes, leave the lid open when the bottle is empty and the remaining liquid inside will dry up. After a few water/feeding use the spider sense to see how many gallons the plants needs and mix up just the right amount. If you want to mix them early or have left over stored it in a box to keep the lights out.
Hope that helps.
And when those questions that you say you don't know about, I will be right here waiting to answer them for you, or at least try to..
