Gen's grow

Here's the 12PM marijuana report. Couldn't keep my hands off big bertha. I took two clones. These will be started in plain water and kept in the house under low light conditions in front of kitchen window.

Stay tuned, same bat channel, same bat time.

make sure it's ph'd 5.5 water and that you add a little tiny bit of nute to help them along....i find i have roots in 5 days with this method...just stick them in a large rubbermaid with the top resting on it...plenty of light will get through the lid....

Hmm for every one clone taken I get two more tops on my mommy? What the jeepers is that Skunky?

Well, I took two clones and left the big main cola. The other plants are lagging behind. I'll let them be for now. This has got to be one of the happiest days of my life.

I 've wanted to grow ever since I started checking out the hydro sites. Those beautiful pictures of buds. That was November 2005. I ordered my seeds and now I am growing. What a high.

Gen, when you top a plant, or cut the top stalk to make a clone, the two little tops that where growing right beneath that top you just cut off will become your new tops...plus it will give the bottom growth time to catch up with the top, therefore giving you a bushy plant to flower, thus producing more budsites or more clones if you leave it in veg to be a mom.

very nice start gen...looking great!

Doh, I get it skunky.

Now tell me about the rubbermaid? This is what I envision. A large rubbermaid with a opaque lid that will act as a humidity dome since the whole thing is inside. Am I right? So I put my container with clones in water with a ph of 5.5 and a tiny bit of nuts, inside this rubbermaid container. Then leave the whole thing under fluoros or a weak light.

Gen, exactly right! Except, you don't want to leave them sitting in standing water...just mist them from time to time and after about 5 days start taking the lid off for about a couple hours a day till they get used to the relative humidity...you want your medium to be moist...not soaking wet...unless you need to leave them for a couple days alone, then you could put about 1/16 inch of water in the bottom of the rubbermaid and they would stay good for a couple days...but if you need to do this, crack the lid so all that moisture doesn't stay inside the whole time...Goodluck! Cloning is simple once you get the basics down...should be right around 80-85 degrees too...

Thanks skunky that helps alot! I'm glad you're here to help us.

Here is the 9PM news report from marijuana farming. The girls in the bubbler really need to be moved into larger quarters. They are now getting full sun during the day and supplemental light at night. Tehy have pretty long roots for such small tops. That is the end of the midget report.

Thanks for tuning in folks, same bat time, same bat channel.

Good evening. This is the 8PM marijuana report. Big Bertha is a whooping 14 inches tall. She's a fine looking young lady. The clones are still healthy and green. I'm wondering if the reason they are curled up is because I have them under too strong of light. Will move them to window light. The other soil plant is growing slowly if at all. I had her in coco/perlite. The medium stayed too wet. It did not dry out for 3 days. Too wet. I transplanted again to regular soil. The other plants are doing great. No fatalities so far.

Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel.
