JOURNAL OF A MADMAN

Trying to catch up. Please...comments are welcome. I need feedback.

I didn't put the plant numbers either cuz I dont know which one it is or cuz it already has a number in the picture. :thumbsup:

Problems at the O.K. Corral....:(

I lost track of which day it is but its not too far off. They are labeled better coming up.

Ok, guys. Gotta go for now. When I get back, we are cloning, chopping, topping, pruning and all kinds of maddness. Keep checking back in. Post me some feedback on my feeble attempt at a first grow. Thanks. Ask me any questions about the temp, nutes, watering, blah blah...anything u wanna know.

Be cool. :thumbsup:

So I have 13 plants. They are all different sizes. I have a couple runts and some spindley-looking ones, and then I have some decent sized ones with decent inter-nodal growth.

They are almost all stretched due to the low lumes-per-foot I had in the inital veg room. Since adding the CFLs, the stretching has all but stopped.

I have experienced some nute burn on some of them, and I think some of the burn was even intensified by the CFLs in the right side being too close. This is my assumption, of course. I'd like to hear someone else's take on it...

*crickets chirping*

Well, OK, then. Onto the chopping. I have decided to only take one clone of each plant, hope it roots and then take those clones and flower them to find out what sex the corresponding plant is.

We have decided against building a separate box for the cloning...so we built ourselves a little shelf in the veg room to try it out.

Here are pictures of the cloning space.

Wish me luck.

I weilded an alcohol-cleansed razor blade. Used Olivia's Rooting Hormone GEL...and planted into rockwool cubies. Some of the plants are looking pretty bad and some of them just don't have any thing to clone, so I topped some of them. I topped them partly as an experiment to see how easy topping was and what the result would be...and mostly because the plant was a runt and it couldn't hurt. If I kill the plant, it wouldn't be the end of the world...or would it??



PIC #1 & #2: PLANT #2 - Topped. Twin #2

PIC #3 & #4: PLANT #1 - Topped. Twin #1


The twins were the two plants (#'s 1 & 2) we thought would do the best based on the look of their seedlings. They have already been outdone by #'s 3, 4, 13, 9...etc.

Be back in a little to post the rest. I know the plants aren't looking all that great now. Give me some feedback pls. Thanks.

TGF :thumbsup:

Good grow. I would put those to flower soon, find out which are girls and try to clone her. Or whatever. Stay High m8.

Hey, W4L, thanks for stoppin' by. Yea, gonna be flowering soon, I hope. Gotta finish up the cloning process. Gonna clone one off each plant first, then flower that to see what sex the corresponding parent plant is, then will eliminate males, re-think my plan, etc. Thanks for the input. Yea I know, they are too big! CraP! :eek:


:D
