Looking bloody awesome mate. When I was a kid I used to bend pencils to see how far they would bend before snapping. I think that you were that same kind of kid. I think that Queen will yield great for you, just be patient with her She is looking unreal!

Hey Nerf, great question. I have done many experiments on the affects of pot size vs. growth rate. And I have come to the conclusion that the SMALLER the pot, the smaller the growth. I would say the biggest factor here is to find that balance between plant size and root development. I can somewhat agree with putting a seedling in its final pot due to avoiding extra work, BUT from what I researched, the actual progression of larger medium tends to give a MUCH bigger root mass at the crown of the plant. The roots of plants tend to grow straight down and THEN start encircling the pot width-wise in attempt to find more space. If you are able to get a plant to this stage with each incremental increase of pot size, then you will develop a nice healthy root mass that will grace you with faster growth rates, and overall bigger, healthier plants.

Thanks for the very detailed answer AG, much appreciated

LA....I've run out of words to describe you and Gert Awesome just doesn't cover it. As for yield, well I'm with Alex, plenty of time yet mate. Increasing the feed will help her uptake and, hopefully, that will show in yield. Head up fella, you're giving us ALL a master class in growing

Looking good
Can't wait to see the final product

Hey all and good fine day! not much doing today. I took a clone of Gert again, giving it one last try off her. If I fail I'll re veg her after flowering has finished. Her genetics seem awesome so I'd like to keep her going indefinitely as a mother for clones then eventually use her lineage for cross breeding in the future.
Little Molly Mcfly is doing great looks like she has good genes! So she might also be used as a mother for future tinkerings. Anyway hope all is green for all of you!
Just some bud pics and one canopy of last grow as I'm a little bud withdrawn at moment!!

One great looking plant have some reps man

Been pretty busy LA but finally got over here to check her out once again. She is a beast! Im seeing what you were saying about possibly over doing her a bit with the extra nodes. Are you feeling a lack in cola size compared to the last grow? She certainly has a lot of mouths to feed! Dude even if the buds are not HUGE what you have got there is an achievement in itself. Good Growin!

Where have you been dude?

Looks like someones dropping poetry on the poet's thread. Watch out LA, you have competition.

Cheers everyone, your all very kind, I just wish Id journaled her or took pics at end of grow as she was only six and a half weeks in flower at that point.She went to 12 weeks flower total. It was that long as I manipulated the hours in the day during the peak flower time for 2 weeks. She got 21.36 hours light followed by 12 dark, on repeat pattern. Then back to 12/12 for the end.

Omg!

ive read about that flowering techinque a few times now on the net, not something ive put into practive yet as i have to many plants growing at the same time,

their was also another i read creates good results and that was during the last couple of weeks of flower you give the plant more than 12 hours of light so 14 for example but then keep the 12 hour dark period as 12 hours, this is suppose to produce more weight at harvest, again not something i have tried or tested but will do at some point in the future.

with the clone mate just make sure the soil its in is just slightly moist, if its to wet they wont root, you need oxygen at root level so make sure the pot your planting the clone in has drain holes at the bottom to allow some movement of air through the medium.

if the soil is to wet then roots wont grow, just make sure its very slightly moist or use it strait out the compost bag and dont add any water, then when you planted the clone just mist it once or twice a day but dont water the soil, you wont water the soil until the roots have grown, the roots need to search for water so they need the soil just slightly moist to encourage them to grow,

get that right and you will have no problems rooting, as long as the dome is keeping humidity high then your good to do,
the dome dont need to totally mist up either so as long as you see some mosting on a part of the dome then the humidity is high enough,

i take the dome off mine twice a day for 1 to 2min max, i let the clone breath and this lets the soil breath, then before i put the dome on i give the clone a very gentle mist with water then place the dome back on, dont soak the clone or the soil as it will cause you problems, some clones root in 7 days and some can take a couple of weeks,

if the fan leaves on the clone are big then cut the blades in half as this slows down the moisture the plant loses and will keep the clone alive,

once you got one clone to grow you wont have any problems doing it again in the future, ive seen many growers on here fail at cloning and id have to say its down to the soil been to wet, you dont want it bone dry so dont get me wrong, but you just want it very slightly moist, so if the soil was dry you would only water it with 1 table spoon of water then nothing else at all until the clone has rooted,

fingers crossed you will get it rooted this time, once you do you wont have any problems taking clones, i lost lots at first but then realised the soil was to wet and roots wasnt encouraged to grow,

Hey everyone and may the day have found you and your garden being presented with a multitude of knew and positive opportunities to take yet another step towards the perfectly balanced relationship between the pair of you!

Big Gert is going awesome now, since I upped the feed by 50%, she must have been bloody hungry, lol! Starting to bud real nice all over, so actually a little more positive than the other day. She is starting to smell real nice and to trich up also, so all looks great!

Oh and here is Little Molly Mcfly, Spimp she's gonna do ya proud!
Also the Monster cropped clone.

 

[Crawdaddy]

Nice plant!

 

[b.real]

what scents are you getting when you rub the flowers?

 

[B A R]

How's that new clone coming along LA?
