There are plants that are two weeks behind the others. I've mentioned that in previous posts. I just use 'week four' now relating to the first beans I planted. Check out the first photos I posted. Anyway, it is still a runt. Many of the other later seedlings have started to catch up with the earlier sprouts. The rest of the AKs and the haze have really gone nuts in the last two days, thus the FIM. Can't wait until week five pics, next Sunday!
Sorry :( I assumed they were the same age, it has been awhile since I checked your log and have not kept up like I should. I will from now on :thumbsup:
The grow is going nicely. I had to remove a couple of leaves. The plants are very low adn the leaves that touch the soil got nute burned by contact.
Here's five of the six AK-47s. The runt (not shown) is still holding it's own but will likely be culled.

Here are the four Neville's Haze.

I cut two from each of the AKs this am.
I soaked ten peat pucks in a solution of water and Strive-Alive B1-Red. I labelled each of the donors with a number and labelled sticks for the clones. At the ready I had a siccors, a razor blade, water solution, cloning gel, chop stick and muffin tins.

I cut two lower branches from a donor plant, placing them in a cup of solution. Then, removed excess leaves, cut the stem on a 45ยบ angle with the razor. I then touched the cut to a paper towel before putting it in the cloning gel.

From there I put the cutting into a peat puck where I had poked a hole with the chop stick and gently pinched the opening shut.

I then added additional solution to the tins and sprayed the cuttings with clean water and slid the tins into plastic bags with a wire support to keep the bag off the cuttings. I placed these off to the side of my light fixture for now. I'll be moving them back to the bench for 24 hour light from a flourescent or perhaps a CFL.

Any remarks, suggestions appreciated.

I also FIMed the four Haze plants this am too.

Hot Dang, Shov! Your plants are looking outstanding! That front right NH is incredible, dude! Dang fine work on them all, and sweet and informative description of your cloning process. I appreciate that information, and will remember your thread for the time I begin cloning. Thanks!
Terrific for you to say so, Brian (I appreciate that information).
I've not had a lot of experience in cuttings for mj. So, let's just watch together and see hor things go. I'll keep up with posting the details as we see the results.
I figured that I needed many more specimens (and beaucoup de fortune) if I wanted to get any kind of seed from this. So, I started to cut clones as soon as possible. Hoping to cut some haze in a week or two.
Plants seem to be very happy so far shov. I love the ak's huge leaves. I actually started some ak-48s about the same time (month and 4 days ago) and they have similar growth patterns which excites me. Two of them actually have new growth of 7 and 9 leaves! Have any of your's shown this characteristic?

No, I haven't noticed any large numbers of leaflets. But I did notice that the branches are starting to grow alternating, which is a sign of maturity. The Neville's Haze are so squat that I can't get cuttings yet. So though. I'd like to get two ro three from each of the four plants.
No comments on the AK-47 cutting posts? Anyone?
I mixed a new batch of soil this morning. Two bags of Intervale (local Vermont Organic) potting soil, a bag of perlite, a bag of vericulite, a bag of worm castings and half a sq. foot of peat moss. I now have the (4) Neville's Haze and the runt AK-47 in three gallon pots and the (5) AK-47s in five gallon pails. I added a 400 watt MH to the 216 watts of T-5 florescent lights.
The (10) AK-47 clones are doing well and are down in the corner of the grow area, out of the bright light. As soon as they start to root and I transplant them into 6" pots, I'll flip them to 12/12 and start some Neville's Haze cuttings, probably in another week.
I'll try and grab some photos tomorrow. Thanks for checkin it out.
