My first grow

you know what,i really don't know what would make a better mother,i've never kept one,i'm guessing advantages of the flowering clone may include a shorter plant so more light penetration,and for a mother you'd put it in veg so you'd be using clones from a vegging mother so'd have vegging clones hence normal plants,and you'd have more clones due to the excessive branching,but like i say,i'm guessing,just pointing out it can be done during flower,guess it could be worth trying both ways and see what your preference is

1/1 just fed em good, gonna leave em be for the night, hopefully get my veg box set up before friday night. Thinking about making the oldest a mother, but it could be male, and I wont know unless I flower right? So If I get a couple clones, and it does turn out to be female, then the healthiest clone would end up a good mother right? The smoke was so good, and the flavor very nice and pleasing to the primary woman in my life. It sucks to be out of smoke when you got the shit growing in your home. I keep smelling it and wanna smoke but I really need a break, my tolerance is so strong for everything, nothing effects me, from green to brown to white to whatever, I'm too immune to feel anything anymore. I love this new hobby, it brings me as much joy as the smoking of the stuff, I'm so glad I started this and so pissed that there are laws against it, I am a hard (well kinda) working family man, never hurt anyone, but gotta be careful cuz I'M the bad guy. Bullshit laws. Maybe I need to move to Canada.

Then I will have 5 satori, 5 speed queen, 5 feminized cheese, 10 blueberry, 5 bubblegum, 10 northern lights, 5 mystery seeds, and 5 haze/skunk. I'm gonna try and sell the 4 clones that are smaller and out of sync with the rest.

Happy New Year Deaner:)

the answer to your first 3 questions is yes. I did some more resurch and you definatly want to take your cloans before flowering. just get them to root and keep them under a cfl or small florecent after rooting so they grow slow and prune them occasionaly so the act like a bonsi tree that way the cloan takes up minimal space and you can keep several over a long period.

As for what strains to keep and get rid of I have no experiance what so ever with them, I did do some reading on strains and there is one pure strain native to your area that you need to keep an eye out for, I would love to get my hands on it as well as you. ( sorry I can't remember exactly the first part of the name let alone spell it, but it begins with m {native amarican name for some fertile valley in Alaska}) thunderfuck. If you here or find someone who can get this for you get it and let me know ( most likely native Amaricans will know about it). It is one of the best pure strains known.

Deaner,

Now I can address your little rant about the laws, I would be thankful you live in Alaska. You have some of the more forgiving mj laws of the country. Where I live the laws are real bad. (Ie. if you have a germinated seed it is concidered a plant that carries felony charge of possesion with intent to distribute and a 1 to 10 year sentence). So if I got caught I would most likely get 5 or more years. Now that is f'ed up. I should be the one moving to Alaska.
Just had a thought, would it be great to just get a place somewhere real nice and just grow mj and live off it, I would have so much freetime to do what ever I wanted, during the early flower cycle there is not much to do except keep them watered and watch them grow.

Matanuska Thunderfuck. The legend. Most the stuff claiming to be isn't. The shits unfuckin real dude. I will always be on the lookout for it, if theres any in the area, I'd smell it. I'm beginning to think the mtf of old is only a legend now.

I want to do the exact thing you mention too. Just grow and chill. Yes our laws are very forgiving I've never heard of anyone doin time for growing, at least no one growing less than 50 plants. They take your stuff, which sucks, bust in your door and scare the shit out the kids, but in the end, they just steal your shit basically. I would like to grow medically and help someone that needs it. If I ever get some MTF I will hit you up, you have helped me a bunch.

Ok, I started my veg box. Just a green rubbermaid container. Mounted 4 2' flourescents on the lid, drilled a hole through the side for the cord. Will maybe put a little fan on the other end. I also have 2 more 2' flo's, maybe mount them on the sides of the tub. It should be tall enough for my babies. It's not huge, but it should do fine for now. Now I'm thinking I can start a new grow to put under the lights when the others are done. This seems to be as good as I can get to running two grows at once. If I lst them, keep em short til they get into the main room. I'm not sure how many I should start in the tub. I want to constantly be putting plants into flower, one comes out, I want another one in. Steady flow of the green magic. Probably start some seeds today, cotton balls in a tupperware tub, add a little water, stick the seeds on top of the cotton balls, then throw em in dirt when they sprout. I leave them sealed and warm but dark. Just cant decide which ones to plant, right now looks like northern lights, and blueberry. 12 should be the right amount for my tub. 4 kinds of 3 each? Or 3 kinds of 4 each. I'm out of weed! Someone always seems to save the day.. Where are they?

Ok, seeds are on their cotton balls. 5 bubblegum, 5 cheese, 5 speed queen.The cheese are feminized. Hopefully have 12 solid sprouts in a couple days. Here goes grow #2, and #1 aint even done yet. I'm turning into a grower! The bubblegum was my wifes request, the cheese I've never smoked, nor the speed queen. I think they all flower at different rates so I will be getting them spread out. Speed queen, then bg, then cheese? I really want to try some ak47 since the name is cool, who wouldnt wanna shell out some hard earned cash for something named ak47? Or god bud would be cool. Thanks to all that have been helping along the way, wish you could share a bowl or 2 of my stuff when it's done.

Oh, and I will get some pics of my ladies soon. They are looking huge! I'm ready for some 12/12, still need an exhaust and a hps bulb so I can switch over after a couple weeks with the MH.

Ok, flower time, please someone give me some pointers here. I got my bloom nutes, Pure Blend Pro Bloom. 1.5-4-5. Got my 600 wt. HPS. Got a timer. Not sure how to time the changes from the old nutes to the new, and when to switch the bulb. I am pretty sure that I leave the MH for 2 weeks before switching. I am gonna tie em down again cuz they keep bustin out. So unless Im told otherwise, I will switch the nutes after a couple days of 12/12, thinking everything in steps, not all at once. I got some cloning gel, and some starter cubes and a humidity starter thing for the clones. I will probably have more plants than I know what to do with.
