Greetings and salutations, welcome to my perpetual grow journal! I appreciate you swinging by to stay high!
I've got plants in every mode going right now, so let me just give you a little background. First off all my plants are Sour OG, I picked up some clones a few months ago and just decided to keep the garden rolling with them so I've been cloning to my hearts content! Yes all my plants are clones made from clones. I'll begin with letting you know I'm using the Happy Frog Soil and General Hydroponics nutrients line, starting with Flora Nova Grow and supplementing with all the extra ingredients, kinda makes me feel like a mad scientist. Especially feeding the ladies that are in the different stages, but that's really more in my head than in reality.
My grow space is a 4x2x5 foot tent and a tournament size pool table with an 8 foot T12 fixture. I've also got three LED Lights, 45 watt, 300 & 600. More about that later... I've also got the a carbon scrubber and an inline ducting fan that pulls around 190 cfm. And finally I've got two 6" clip on fans and a GE surge protector timer. I love the timer it allows me to program 1 schedule for the whole week, perfect for this hobby, and it has 4 outlets for the timer appliances like lights and anything else I may want to experiment with.
Starting at the top we have the Tornado of Nutrients who really are what helps to get me and the ladies to The Emerald City.
Now for the midgets, dwarfs, short people, munchkin girls, first up are a few of the clones I've got in the early veg stage, although at their last feeding I did move them up to the 'later growth' feeding schedule.
This is J2 and believe it or not she's the oldest of my clones. Not sure when I pulled her from the humidome, I've done some pruning and shaping so her delayed development is likely my fault.
This is J3 and as I'm sure you're able to assess she is the next oldest clone.
Now this lady here is J4 (my new mother) and renamed Dorothy for all future posts.
My local Hydro guy was looking at some of my pics from my first harvest and asked me if I wanted to trade clones. I told him I'd have to grow him one since I didn't really have any I was willing to part with. This is J8, and I swear to God the first clone I've seen looking this uniform. I've texted him but he's not ready to trade yet.
Now for J6, she is actually in flower and just started showing her hairs, I started the Red Cup Challenge and I think I may be the only one left. Guess I'm gonna win...
Are you wondering what happened to J5? She died, I'm not perfect, moving on...
And then there is J7 lovingly renamed Mercedes by my 9 year old, cause when I first started LST she kinda resembled a Mercedes symbol.
J9, what can I say she's really taken my energy and I know she's gonna be great.She took a really long time to get roots and then getting her out of the dome was like open heart surgery. She is taking her sweet fucking time, I swear to god!!!! Jesus take the fucking wheel!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you wondering how I came up with the whole J2-9 thing? It didn't have anything to do with Joints. They all have the first initial of there mom/ twin sister, Jane. Here she is at one week into flower. A picture under her skirt, she's all tidied up.
And a picture of her tops, aren't they spectacular!?!?!?!?!?
If you've made it this far I hope you stick around on this crazy adventure in at home horticulture. All advice welcomed and appreciated.
