View Full Version : Elmo's clone grow

Welcome all to the extension of my last grow.
I have 2 clones from a bagseed mom that I flowered and just harvested today.
These 2 have been on 12/12 since 8/22, so 22 days now.
I transplanted them into a single container that is about 15gallons, one on each end, and put a screen over the top of them. I don't know if they will fill it or not.
I also have 5 more clones that are vegging now and are about 8" tall. I am LSTing them. I will veg them till the flowering clones are done then move them in there (about 40 more days).
Here are some pics of the new setup.

McDanger, that's a nice lookin' Elmo in your grow. You've got kids, right? Tell me that's not your Elmo? Not that there's anything wrong with it if it is; I just had to give you some grief about it. My daughter, when she was really small, used to call Elmo "Homo" because she couldn't quite pronounce Elmo. Just a nice personal tidbit there for ya.

Your clones are looking strong! It looks like you have a great SCROG setup too - this should be an interesting grow!

Good luck, my friend!

Elmo is a "muppet". A puppet from a childrens tv show.

Jake,
No kids at home, one stepdaughter that is moved out. I found it in a vacated apartment and thought it looked cool, he is a good way to judge the size in pics. He is 3" tall.

Been busy lately, so I don't get here as much.
The 2 clones in flower are putting on buds, but I put the scrog sreen over them too late. After the initial flower stretch so they are not filling the screen. Live and learn.:D
The 5 clones in veg are growing like crazy, but are very leggy. They will fill the screen nicely when put into flower after the other 2 are done. I think it is the strain since the mom I moved outside did the same thing. She has purple buds, so I am looking forward to budding the clones.

WOW has it been over a month? Sorry, no pics today. My camera took a shit on me again.
UPDATE: The 2 clones in flower have been harvested and cured, they are the same as the previous bagseed mom, but not as big. Harvest Oct 28
I moved the 5 clones in veg to the bud room. I was going to scrog but I was not getting the light penetration and I have the headroom so I took the screen off. They are pretty leggy (4" between branches) and it does not matter how close I get the light, I switched to a 1000w eye hortilux in a cool tube. The buds have started and they are purple, so it was not the temps on the outdoor plant. I did a lot of supercropping on them because they were so leggy. Not sure what I will get for yield but they quality of the mother is great even though I had to harvest early because of frost.

I am now growing out 1 plant that is purple kush X purple urkle X train wreck. I got 1 of 3 seeds to germ (still have 10 left). This thing is growing like I can't believe. The stem is already 1/2" and the plant is about 18" tall. I think I may take 1 clone next week to sex. I don't want to waste time and money on a male, but I may want the pollen. We'll see.
Thats it for now:thumbsup:

Sorry for the long time between updates.
Sony sucks, gave me the run around on fixin my camera. Same problem 3 times in 1 year.
Put the battery in it yesterday and it started working, so here's an update.
the 5 flowering clones are doing ok. 1 or 2 weeks left. Am getting a lot of the fan leaves yellowing and dying, but the buds look good, even though they are a little light. I hope they put on a little weight before the chop. They have been leggy plants the whole time, so I think it is the strain.(bagseed)
Sprout has been in 12/12 since the 5th of Dec. and just showed sex yesterday.(its a girl) I probably would have grown it out for pollen if she had been a he, but its good to know all the electricity has not been wasted.
The pics could be better, too much yellow from hps.
I have a question for anybody with an opinion on it: after I cut the clones down I will only have the 1 plant in the room(4'X4'). Should I keep the 1000w light or switch to a 400w I have. Would there be a big drop in yield? As far as I can tell I would save 360kwh over the entire cycle, which only comes to about $35 as far as I can tell.

Thanks for the rep funky.
Looks like some updates were lost.
I just finished cutting and trimming the clones. I didn't expect them to take so long. I think they were in 12/12 for 13 weeks and still no amber, all cloudy. But I ran out of time and had to chop. I will probably make one more post on this log after it is cured, not till March, or I may just continue with the sprout that has been in 12/12 since 12/5. She is a monster covered in sugar.
I smoked the hash from off the scissors today and got a really good buzz from just one hit. That makes all the trim work worth while.
