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

Thanks A1- when I have a clone army going, I'll give it another shot. For now, I've got expensive seeds, so I'm just trying to keep them going for now till I pick a mom or two, or three, or, well, who knows How many?
 
UPDATE:
Day 33 12/12, Day 29 Bloom
Put more high brix soil around the Bubblegum, I didn't make enough yesterday. Also transplanted the seedlings into 2L's

Thanks Chronic! I feel like I'm overdoing the updates... but I'm trying to keep track of when what happens with transplanting, cloning, repotting, etc. and I keep doing shit every day LOL

makes it easier than also writing your own book journal you can just backtrack to your 420 journal i get it :thumb:
 
UPDATE:
The two BigBud clones went to the flower room last night, they were cut on the 13th, so it's about 1 month from cut to flower room. One is LST'd, the other straight up kola.

Seedlings got their first dose of 900 (crazy growth watered down a little) actually was closer to 850, but they seemed to dig it. no signs of nute burn and their leaves grew fatter over the 6 hours or so that I saw them. the NL clone looks kinda sad, maybe the riot cube isn't touching enough...
 
i had a clone and decided to give it the rapid growth schedule from bpn, it was only 4 nodes high, these 2 clones where the same size, the 1 i gave rapid growth schedule the other i gave veg 1 schedule, now the one i gave the rapid growth to at full strength is 8 nodes high and about 7 inches, the clone i give veg 1 to is 4 nodes high and about 5 inches, so i wonder how much these plants can actually take, i think i might get one of my clones and run a few tests with the bpn, see how much these plants can actually take before they show nute burn, but it seems the clone given the higher dose of bpn grew twice as fast as the clone on veg 1, so as far as i can tell, if the clones are taken from a plant well into veg or the start of 12-12 then they should be able to take the nutes at rapid growth, so im wondering if giving them rapid growth is making them grow a lot faster, because thinking about it these clones are from the mother that has also been fed the higher dose so the clones are used to this higher dose,

im not clued up about all the chemistry of this and nutrient make up or ph and ppm, so im trying to learn what i can, but from what i have done over the last week, the clone given the higher dose is twice as high and has twice as many nodes, its that big i have had to move it out of the small veg cupboard where i start seeds and clones and now its in the veg room, the clone of the same age taken on the same day is still in the cupboard, so either this clone rooted quicker and grew quicker or it was the bpn that made the difference

Hey DP, thanks for stopping by. Sounds like the BPN made *some* difference, but was everything else the same? Were both clones as vigorous when you took them? I'm just going by teSmp's seedling method and following it word for word and ppm for ppm. Working great so far. See update below.
 
UPDATE:
Seedling day 9 clones day 30
The 3rd gen clones are going to bite the dust. There was too much water in the bottom of the tray, and they turned brown :( i drained the water out, but I think they're gonners. Seedlings are looking good though, so are the bigbud and NL mothers.

An interesting development on the flower side, I guess my pH meter had been uncalibrated, so I recalibrated it, and it appears that my flowering plants pH is dropping. I have heard of this happening to other growers, but after weeks and weeks of pH going up, I want to make sure my meter isn't screwy. So I busted out the old dropper test, and yup, pH is in the 4's.

Thoughts about this?

Photos of the babies. I'm so exited for these. Only day 9! My last seedlings looked mini compared to these at day 9:

Yup, I'm trying to follow each step as you go. They are handling the 900ppm just fine, when do you bump it next, if at all?
 
Hiya Surfbuddy! :surf:

Sometimes they cherry-pick certain nutrients, and can cause PH to go other direction like that. Usually, in bloom for me is when it happens. Good that you caught it and can make adjustments.

Great journal, btw, and the plants look really good. Where the heck have I been?! Sorry for being so late to the party...

:popcorn:
 
Hey there X! Thanks for stopping by. Never to late to join the party...
:party:

Thanks for the note about pH, it's only happening to the plants in bloom, the others are maintaining pH steadily. It's reassuring to hear if from you.

Things are going along smoothly. Nothing major to report, other than some re-arranging in the flower tent to get better light to the 2 fresh BigBud clones. They got started with 10 hours of light, we'll see how that does them.

Hi, new to posting, I have two bigbuds in 5th week of flowering, they are just now turning color. Good luck, will be watching.

Hi Grace, Welcome aboard! Thanks for joining the 420 community, you'll find many friendly helpful supportive people here!

I really like the way my Big bud is growing, it is fatter but not taller than my NL but is the most vigorous in this round. What is going on in the lower left there? those look like happy dense nugs. If those are your bigbuds front and center, it looks like they had a growth spurt and are about to catch up... do you have a journal yet?

Again, welcome and thanks for joining us at :420:
