Surfbuddy's GLR 2L DWC-H Coco Lowryder - Big Bud - BubbleGum - Northern Lights

UPDATE: Grow2 BigBud and NL clones, Liberty Haze seedling, Kosher Kush seedling
Seeds soaked May 9th, Clones taken May 13th

I think I have found my Big Bud Clone Mom: All clones were taken at the same time. This one has roots poking out the 2L holes already, and has mini leaves at the nodes growing. I want to put her in soil in a smart pot... I have read people suggesting to not run soil in the same room as hydro. Thoughts?

Here's another BB Clone that is doing OK. The one in back is lagging but has started pushing new leaves

Here is the NL clone, this will also become a mom, maybe. The other one has not shown any roots yet, but remains green. I'm worried the other one under the blue only LED needs more red spectrum to make roots?

Liberty Haze seedling, the only one that looks like it will survive, and which was oh, so sad at the beginning, so much so that I soaked another seed of it because I thought WTF? It's not sprouting!

Kosher Kush seedling is on it's last legs. If anyone has any advice for this baby I would appreciate it. I think she's a gonner.

And finally a group shot of my grow2 first wave. Off to the side are three seedlings I put directly into rapid rooters last night (Hazeman's g13 x Cali Hashplant, DNA's Stacked Kush, and Hazeman's Breakout), and today into a cup, I put two mystery gift seeds that I think were supposed to be pineapple. I am trying to figure out which germination method will work better for me, and after losing 4 of 5 this last round, I'm inclined to use more of my free seeds until I get this seed sprouting thing down.

Thanks Guys! The lowryder showed sex sometime in the last week of april to first week of may, so 3=4 more weeks or so!

hey man, you say some of the clones aren't rooting huh? The only thing I see wrong here is.... First off are those rapid rooters? thats what they look like? One important thing about clones is when they are place in w.e starter cube or medium u want them FIRMLY pack in there. this is VERY important in the rooting process. Those cubes seem to have some space where u put the clones inside. So make sure you firmly pack that medium around the clone to make it nice and snug, I know some people that use rapid rooters actually peel some of the material off of the outside of it and gently place it down there to get it more snug.

Other than that NICE MONSTER PLANT MAN!!! :bravo:

I can't pass off without giving you some reps my man! Keep up the GREAT work :Namaste:

Sick lookin 2L's! Nice job bro...

Thanks Fellas! Appreciate the kudos and reps! This is my first *real* grow, so I'm stoked that talented growers like yourselves think I'm doing OK!
 
Hey bud!
been a minute! I love what you got going on! everything looking healthy!
budding out nicely!
keep up the great work!

:Namaste:

BEAUTIFUL PICS!! I and really mean that. Things will start to happen fast from here. Keep it up, buddy!

Thanks SpiriTHC and jandre! I feel like I'm finally starting to get a handle on this... trying harder to do less, if that makes sense :) KISS!

I'm exited for things to happen faster!
 
DANG, that sucks about the bubbles... 4/5... sorry to hear it!!

Aurora pots are what I am going to use next time. The one that I have is working awesome... I fed all the plants at the same time, the best growing one (you guessed it..... the one in the aurora) was already dried down to a 2 with my moist meter, the 3 in the plastic 3 gallon grow bags were still at 7-8. That plastic just traps the moisture in, on one of them I tried cutting about a 3"X3" hole in each opposite side and stuck mesh in place to keep all the contents in. I want to see if this helps dry them out faster until I can afford to replant the rest into auroras!!

Your ladies have a very nice shade of green to them by the way!!!

+REPS to ya!!!:high-five:

:bravo:
 
dam man that suck hope all goes well !

LOL, now I know why you were saying that sucks. LOL

Yeah, I was disappointed on so many levels with the bubblegum. Slowest growing, slowest to show sex (all plants went to 12/12 at the same time for crissakes), and to top it off, the boy/girl ratio. It will go to the bottom of the seeds to be planted list fo' sho'.

I just picked up a variety of pots--I had 2 2gal smartpots already, and picked up a HydroFarm branded one called a rootpot I think? Almost half price. And the hydro shop was kind enough to let me try out a new one with velcro down the side, I think it's a GeoPot transplanter. Gonna try them all out to see which one I like better. Guess I should throw an Aurora in there too! lol

Thanks for the reps and the kudos on the pictures- I tried several white balance settings until I got the one that most closely matched what I see with my eyeballs. Fricking point and shoot cameras are magic these days--three different flourescent settings for white balance? Really? Yup.

Thanks again guys.
 
Looking good SB. I'm late but here now. :cheertwo:

Everything is looking good over here :) +rep to your mom on that lei that's awesome!

Thanks guys! Lovin the support.

As soon as mom saw me trimming, she asked me to save them for her so she could make a lei... she makes lei every day from the trees in the yard, but this one was special.. took her 2 hours!
 
UPDATE: Clones and Seedlings
Liberty Haze Seed soaked May 9th, Clones taken May 13th
Hazeman's Breakout, Hazeman's G13 Cali Hashplant, DNA's Stacked Kush to Riot cubes May 31st (no cup soak or paper towel)

So it seems like clones kick ass compared to seedlings as far as start time to ready to flower time.

Group shot of all

The new to be clone mom for Big Bud-- can I take a top off this soon? Seems like it needs to stretch a little first? Or should I not even top it and just wait for the side branches to bust out on their own after LST?

Big bud clone- the average one, soon to go 12/12 er 13/11

New group of seedings, put into riot cubes on the 31st. Breakout was the first to... er... break out of the riot cubes yesterday. The other two made their appearance today.
