Hi turtle,
Glad to hear clones are thriving. Yes, you're right the bulb is circular. Here's a photo. I spent $10 for the bulb and fixture. The important fact is not to give them very much light. If you already have fluoros, keep the plants 18-24 inches away from fluoro light source. In the pictures the hydro grow is the same age as soil. Compare the sizes. I was shocked at the time. I was thinking, oh no, I screwed up my hydro.
I am going to make some ww seeds in case of emergencies. Supposedly, male plants can be kept alive by sitting next to a window in weak light far away from females. This same place would not be able to support female mj growth. I will keep a good male in a large storage bin, just till I can get pollen for a female. The storage bin will prevent pollen from escaping. Another tidbit I read, would you want to sleep with your sister? Well, don't inbred your plants either. We have no way of knowing if our seeds are from the same parents.
Be safe. You're doing great!
Nice I need to get on this clone stuff ASAP
uhhh but that means more building(saw,wood, screws) more electricity work more crap but then that means good buds easier faster process..... Man I need to do this:D
Buk, is that a picture of you as a baby? I've been dying to ask.
ok, for the sake of bukdatass' sanity, I will not talk about clones.
Dude, clones is the way to go!Quote:

I don't know him, but I hope I can give him $100 in the future so he has a nice time with one of his girlfriends... :) I hope I had an uncle like that...
Anyways,
CLONE UPDATE::: Day 7
Clones looking good... as always, no signs of change are being taken as good signs.
Now, there's an actual good sign of change... there was one corner clone that was kind of tilted, I think because of the weight of the leaves... Anyways, it's now standing up... :) All of them are standing up. Good green colors.
ROOTS: You can see the small root-ball at the end of the clone growing... it has these tiny-ass little micro-root-hairs growing... so I guess that's also a good sign.
I need to get these flowering ASAP. I need money... I'm not scrunching money or anything, but... I'd like to buy some toys before summer... and I like to generate that $ from these girls... Arghhhh...
In any event, I'm really happy to have the clones actually growing fine and dandy.
My question::: It's day 7... when should I start the vegetative cycle nutes? They still seem too small for nutrients... they have no roots yet... hmm... plus, I'm wondering when will I turn ON the 400W MH... I guess in about 7 more days... they seem too fragile right now... and they seem quite happy with their low CFL light.
Input welcomed guys (and girls!), thanks! :D

Hello Turtle :) You know I keep looking at this journal and I keep trying to think of something usefull or constructive to say but in all honesty you have gone way over my head with what you are doing :o
Shall I tell you who you are reminding me of ................ Latewood ;)
He's a really nice guy and a great grower but he goes over my head as well, all really technical and likes experimenting and trying different things.
Do you know you guys are making me feel all kinda .......... well a bit thick :o
I'm just waiting to see those buds love ;) :)
love mand xxx:)
Turtle, as long as their loving their clf's, let them stay. If they start looking a little pale green, give them some very weak nutes. Are you spraying them? I always mist with weak ferts. Two of the clones I put in the dark for a few days, the centers turned yellow and the outter leaf was still green. I moved this pair next to a window and it greened back up.
If you give them light right now, they will burn up all the sugar stored in the leaves and turn yellow and die. Don't give them bright light until they develop roots. When I start to see roots, I give them a weak nute.
Hang in there Mand. Some of us have more experience than others (we make mistakes too) and some of us just have too much time on our hands. (That would be me.)
