Reefa cheefa- Ya i def. chopped that hermie down. Kinda sad because it acually had some buds startin at the top. It was a pretty good looking plant and when i went down lastnight it had grown balls too
Oh well iv still got 5 good healthy plants
Mr. Sun- Im glad to hear thats ok
Im currently at 80 degrees with 50 % rh. My mother is doing good and ima let her veg for about another week befor i start cuttin on her. Iv taken cuttings befor for a grow a few years back, but im not sure what kind of cutting solution i should use or should i use a powder, or what????
Sorry still no pics i will have some tonight I PROMISE
I water the moms the day before cutting with plain water. I had great success with Olivas jell !! But any major brand is probably good. Lot of people use jell and powder, but i don't. I got 15 survivors out of 16 cuttings, so that's good enough for this country boy !! Nothin fancy, just make a 45 cut on the stem and turn it over and scrape some bark off, and i even slice the stem, 1/2 way thru, dip in your jell and stick it into the medium . I use 1/2 perlite & 1/2 vermiculite. I rinse the perlite before mixing. i use 16 oz hot cups, because I like to grow a nice size little bush, before transplanting 1st. time. I got a high dome home made incubator with a few one inch holes cut into the top. This is the one time in a cannabus plants life, that less light is good. So maybe 2 23 watt cfls hung high. I spray plants and lid, with tap water that has been sitting out few days, frequently !! When pots get lite, watter as needed. You can't overwater, because of the drainage. When I 1st. see new growth, I remove the dome and start 1/2 strength veg. nukes And within two weeks, I got em on a full nuke diet. Now I use about 6, maybe 8, 23 watt cfls, and get the lights as close to the plants as possible without touching. Sometimes i adjust my lights twice a day. Of course a big t8 fixture or a mh light, would be much better and less hassle, but my finances being what they are, cfls do me just fine, thank you. From this point, I stop foilage spraying. You'll Just get a little slower growth, but you got no or very little heat buildup to deal with, and I'm not in any hurry !! This is why I like a strain that takes about 9 or even 10 wks. to mature, because if I take cuttings the day I put the moms into bloom cycle, it works out perfect. Every 10 weeks, you'll be harvesting & imediately start 12/12 on new bushes that have been vegging for 10 wks.!! I do white widow sativa myself. Those seeds you just bought, grow em and test smoke each to determine which plant is what you like. Not what other people like !! And then regenerate that one plant, and then you'll have a quality mom. Then, Clone on Bro. !!! And good luck on your grow !! I hav'nt been growing for a few mos. now, as i'm working to help get mmj legal in Ma., and I know they don't like it, and when they show up with their goons and shoot my dog, and terrify my wife, i just want to make sure i'm clean. But, if there's anything i can ever do to help you, I will !! Remember with precise timing, you can harvest 5 or 6 times a year. With a 400 watt hid, I was getting 12 to 14 oz. of dry bud, every 10 weeks, like clockwork after you get it down. I'd do better with a 600 watter, but I don't want the electric bill that comes with it. Have a good one !!
