Time to pay our regular visit to our mother. Hi, mom. How??s the new apartment? A little hot? Ok, We??ll move ya down a little.
So she seemed to be too close to the lights. We had room to move her down, so we did that. Also, did some routine pruning of unhealthy leaves.

Check on the Veg room.
Those big plants we LST??d last time (two days ago) are doing better. Starting to curl up and grab at that light. The insides are starting to bush up a bit too?LST rocks, guys. It rocks. Splifted's not the only one who can do it. hehehe :weedpoke:

More Pics of the LST??d girls and then some pics of the others we are vegging to put into the cab and main room on the THIRD run! Those have not been topped yet. Some are upstairs with the NL & BG, too. Speaking of which?let??s check on them next!
Edit...the last pic, we have moved the bigger clones down from up top to be with their sisters because we are going to give the NL & BG some room/privacy.

NL & BG update.
They are now?errr?9 days from germination. They popped in 2-3 days, I believe, shot straight up in 4 more days, then for the last 2 days, they have had some light.
I still do not like how long their stalks are starting. Normally, I??d tell a soil grower that they should probably bury that plant into some more dirt up close to those first leaves, but this is not dirt, therefore, we must figure out a better way?
Let me get my pioneering hat on? :pimp: :rasta:

ROCKWOOL: Burying your stretched seedling stem.
This is just an idea that ??sprouted?? from the necessity to reduce the stretching in the seedling. Last run, the original plants (those from seed) stretched so much in their early life, that they became unmanageable. We swore this would not happen here, but it has already begun to plague us.
Our remedy?emergency rockwool surgery?get your notebook out.
Normally, we would go from 1.5? x 1.5? cubes to 4? x 4? cubes. The way we do this, is to simply set the smaller cube into the larger cube, as the larger cube has the top bored out of it.
We will adjust the placement of the HOLE. Cut the hole out. Wet everything as normal. Slice a slit into the core?like a hotdog bun. Clip core onto stem on top of original rockwool cube?like?umm?a fishing weight??
The pictures explain the rest. Any questions, just ask. :D

[size=?1?] Did someone say FAQ??[/size]
ROCKWOOL surgery continued?
CAREFULLY, slide this set up back into the (now longer) hole in the 4? cube. Voila! You have solved your long stemmy problem! Brilliant!

P.S. I just noticed that I got two rep boxes. THANKS to all of you who were so kind to give me rep. I love you guys, man. Seriously. All there is....is love.
Continue on the rest of seedlings?
Now, put seedlings CLOSE to light. Keep ??em short, for the love of?!

Main Flowering Room Week 9 DISASTER!
DAY 142/65/57/10
This is DAY 57 of the flowering in the main flowering room.
We have a DISASTER on our hands!
Hermie noticed (#13). We have a seed already! Sh*t! Bananas all over. Trichomes still bright white. This we think is a sativa?but hermie!?!? Son of a bitch. :(
WE had planned to let it go at least another week or TWO. But now??
Others in the main flowering room look alright. I think #9 is ready. At least the top of it. Not bottom. Others are close.
This one that has the bananas, it is the one that had severe nute deficiencies early on (stress)?oh and then I snapped the bitch in half (umm?stress) and then taped her back together. I believe?the hermie culprit was?uh?STRESS. Damn.
What??s worse, there is already a seed?only one that we see right now?but how did we not notice this before?
I am hoping that it is too late into flowering to affect or to allow for seed development. :praying:
KEEP LOOKING DOWN FOR THE HERMIE PICS AND SEED.

More pics? :(
Again, only the one (#13) went hermie.
Hermies?disaster?failure?shame. :(
Bananas and seed. Look for them. Don??t make me have to draw a pointer in there, please.
