looks decent, are they big enough pots though?
Hi azure.
There not in pots mate 3 on the right are jiffy pellets in rockwool.2 on left are all rockwool i put plastic over to stop algae build up on the cubes.
There in an (NFT) system
They look nice fella, remember don't start the flower cycle before the 15 or 16th internode. A lot of peeps try to flower before the plants are fully mature and end up with second rate shit.
Cheers phantom appreciate the advice
looks like a serious set-up
good luck
well done how long from seed to that stage
oh yeh 4got have they been sexed are they fem
Thanks for the positive comments.
The plants in the 2 top pics r 13 days from seed.And the 2 bottom r 17 days old. No not sexed will take cuttings soon and force them to show sex.
Hoping for at least 1 female to keep as a mother plant for taking clones.
And fill my other trays.
Hi leem.
Am only going to wait for about the 7th node before i take clones.
Just a few pics taken yesterday.

Hi all sorry for the delay in posting recent pics.Well they are looking ok at 31 days old took 2 clones of each just for sexing them so if the clones live will know in 2 weeks how many females i got to keep as mothers.
Looking pretty good that lot bruv. :D :thumbsup:

Yer good luck with them little ladies man.
Peace
Coming along really nice floyd, how tall are they now? Have you decided when your gonna start flowering? Good luck with the clones, not that i think you'll need it, looks like you've done your homework!
good luck with them clones floyd,ur setup is lookin good,keep them updates comin,
Some good stuff guys, The dreaded drought has also forced me to start growing my own.My hydro is all set up ready to go , i am being supplied a cutting from a reputable grower so no seed start for me, i dont really know the guy all that well so i am a tad unsure whether to pick his brains for growing tips hence the reason i have turned to these forums.
i am gonna strt the plant on 18/6 light cycle : how long do i keep this cycle up.
i will only feed fresh water for about a week before adding half the reccomended dosage of nutes which are Aqua Flakes A
i was going to add the remaining dosage of nutes after about a week and then slowly introduce those over a few days.
i have read that the pump should be put on a timer aswell as the light if so what would you reccomend as far as watering intervals go and would i need to eventually put the pump on 24/7.
can u give me any advice on pruning as i want my plant to bush out rather than reach for the sky.
if i can get my weed to the flowering stage without any major setbacks i will be well pleased so i will leave all the rest of my burning questions till then. many thanks guys hope you can help this noobie:thumbsup:
How's them clones doing floyd? Any updates?
Johnny you should start your own thread, shouldn't post questions about your own grow on someone else's thread. Good luck :rasta:
Hi hudson,
Here's how the main plants look now shit load of leaves died after i took the clones must of infected the plants they did look a lot worse than this slight recovery since i took the clones.Switched to 12/12 on monday and put bloom in the res leaves looking like they have slight nute burn so will add some fresh water to dilute whats in there.only put them in flower to see how they go probably die but i am a newbie lol.The clones are 11 days old today eight look good 2 are dead i think will take a couple of pics in a bit for you so check back later.(AND FUCK BOLTON)
Take easy :thumbsup:
Floyd, with the lamps your using have you seen an increase in your electric bill?
I'm tempted to start growing my own but am on a electric meter and was wondering how badly it chews your electric?
Clairey x
Hi clairey,
Yeah i have an air pump and water pump running with that light as well.
it's about 1.50 a day extra quite steep really but with a decent grow and you will easy cover the cost of the electric and the equipment you buy to start with. from second grow all profit.
Cheers for that, its not as bad as I orginally thought xx
YEE HAA,I got roots on some of the clones can't believe how happy it made me feel success. First time i ever cloned 2 out of 10 look dead but others look great roots on 4 that i looked at so check them again tomorrow afternoon.Will post pics for you as well some root porn.
Ha ha root porn, wierd what turns you on when your growing innit?
I'd say 8 out of 10 is pretty good, you using any rooting hormone? How did you take your clones? I'm gonna be doing some soon, so any tips you got would be helpful. If you wanna check my thread and let me know what u think of my little grow its at http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?p=1014243
congratulations on them clones floyd
Hi all well nothing spectacular but roots all the same.
Hudson. I cut my clones at a 45 degree just below the 4th node.Then dipped them in clonex rooting gel.then put then straight in rockwool cubes.then straight into the propogator which has a layer of hydroton clay pebbles to stop my roots hitting the bottom because i dont have a heating mat.I misted the dome three times a day then once a day after a week so they get use to less humidity to prepare them to come out and into the system.
Hope that helps.:thumbsup:
Looking good man :stoned: Job well done if ya ask me man.:thumbsup:
Peace & Respect :dance:
Hi all,
I'm impressed by all the greenness as a non-grower. Very parched around here in South Wales......it's enough to turn your fingers green!
But one thing that bothers me, do those HPS lights get very hot? They seem to be something of a fire hazard.
Cheers
Hi jess,
Yeah they do get red hot but the one i use is aircooled.no fire hazard really if you do your grow room properly.if your thinking of growing you could try fluorescent lights like the T5 are great for seeds cuttings and vegging.
Take it easy jess.
Thanks for that floyd, only tried cloning a couple of times, my success rate was only about 50/50, but i cut at the 3rd node so i'll wait for the 4th and hopefully more should survive.
:rasta:
no worries m8 i will help if i can.I just learned you should use superthrive before and after cloning to help the plant develop new growth. As well as foliar feeding for about 2 weeks before cutting as well so i got my additives today (superthrive)(nitrozyme)and(liquid oxygen)So i know i still have a lot to learn.This was my first go at cloning suppose we have to do to learn.
Goodluck with future attempts. :thumbsup:
here's how the clones are today good healthy roots. put them in the nft in a day or 2.And will update again once they have been in the system and show change.
:thumbsup:
