4 sticks in the dirt

Since this board seems so serious these days, thought i'd throw up a grow log that everyone could laugh at. What I have is 4 clones that have been severely neglected(1 SAD, 1 Great White Shark, 1 LSD, and 1 Budzilla). They were in cups for a long time and had very minimum lighting and only got watered when we remembered about them. Once they started growing into the light, I would just snap their necks haha. As you can see, they lost all their big fan leaves. On 4/06 I decided not to scrap them and placed them in 3 gal of MG 6 month that I have had for a long time now. Since this is my last grow and most of my equipment is packed up, this is gonna be done with the bare minimum. Some cfls for veg and 400 hps for flower. Hopefully this soil doesn't burn em up. We will see. I plan on doing a weekly update if they are still living haha.

Nice! Sounds entertaining.;)

Been down that "neglected" path a few times, myself. Heh, They do start to look a lil' scraggly after a half-dozen weeks in a party cup. ;)
Lookin' forward to any update. (or an obituary) :D

Damn.....Looks like the shit I grow all the time.....;)

I can't remember how long they were in the cups but I would almost bet you could double that number haha. I checked on them yesterday and looks like they will make it through alright.

haha thanks for dropping in Skihigh.

The main thing im kicking myself on is using that old ass MG soil. It was sitting outside for about a year and by looking at it yesterday, full of gnats. As long as the gnats are the only thing in the soil, it should be alright. Just might have to pull a Weezard and break out some dryer sheets haha.

Today makes day 6. I decided to leave those two dead fan leaves on just because they add some decoration haha. I have been running the lights 24 but will make the switch to 18/6 in a couple days I think. Hopefully they will look like totally different plants in a couple weeks.

Hey Dutch, hows things been going on your end these days?

Oh...I messed up big time back in January! 14 out of 15 plants died after 5 weeks vegging. I don't know what happened for sure; but, it looked like a bad bag of MG soil. Every time I buy a bag in the wintertime, I always regret it. When I transplanted from cups to 8 inch pots with that soil....they didn't like it. :wtf:

The transplant was a success...but, the patients died ..except for the one in the right, rear corner :i feel stupid:

But...it could have been other things? I might have over did it when I mixed in blood meal? Who knows?

The replacements.
Using a 7000k Ushio bulb (for vegging) instead of CMH 4000k bulb; just for giggles :thumbsup:

Wow that sucks man. They look pretty damn happy in that pic. Did they just burn up? Which mg soil do you use? Im always curious on the mg cause theres a million different kinds out there.

The MG moisture control bag I bought in December had probably gone bad?
I bought just the regular MG potting soil bag this time. It was a new shipment.

ph was was normal. All the top growth just locked out or something?
Pretty sure it wasn't burn...from the lights...from the blood meal, maybe?
