A Tiny Grow

Booya!! Welcome to my first official grow log. Complete with pics and info.
Today is day 1 and took my clones out of fridge to warm up a lil before being placed into their Rapid Rooters. Clones were a little bit wilty this time around coming out of fridge and I am blaming so very high humidity thaa we have been having lately. Cut clones down to size and trim about 50% of leaf growth, scarred 1 side of stem and quick dunl in some Rootech cloning gel and into the RR they went. Right now standing in there tray with dome on (lightly sprayed inside of dome) and have a single 75w cfl overhead.

i'm in.

Sounds tight double T,

I'll stick around,

SMG

and before anyone asks .... the strain is called Medibud, was mail ordered from the UK, which we have been growing for about a year now. The netpots that you see are only there to support the RR's so they dont tip over. This grow here will be going into 6" RW blocks, since I have 5 left and need to use them up, have been growing in 4" blocks with good success but am moving away from RW entirely so need to use up what have left around here before just going with RR's and Hydrotron.

I'm on board too. I like to see a good plan unfold.

First off. How long were they in the frigde ?

Do you have a heat pad and if not what is your room temp for cuttings ?

they were only in fridge 3 weeks, have done 8 weeks before with no problems. I do have a heat mat but no need at this time of year. room is like 85-90 and continue to circulate air through the room. single 75w cfl on 24/7

Cool I need to put some cuttings away for a couple weeks maybe three. I will be using rapid rooters since I have run out of small rockwool cubes. My rooms A/C so I will use the heatmat when the time comes.

Thanks.

Good Luck Tiny....I have just put some cuttings in the fridge. Do you keep them with a wet paper towel or just by themselves?

I am in on this one with you Tiny...Looking forward to seeing this from day 1-harvest. Should be nice.

Martyr Projekt :hippy:

Byrdog55 just seal them up in a ziploc bag and toss them in the crisper drawer right after cutting them. No wet anything as extra moisture can cause rot and such. Should open ziploc like once a week and do an air exchange but if having extreme humid weather I would hold off till humidity drops as I am seeing wilting that I normally dont have but had REAL high humidity for about a week or so.

Loc, Marty and everyone else glad to see you all taking a ride on the Tiny Train!! :jointsmile:

Day 2:
running around 80-85 under the dome and a couple of clones look a lil less wilty today. tommorrow should be time to "dunk" them to keep the RR's moist. Did do a light mist of PH'd water with 1 dpg Superthrive added.

Day 3:
no doubt the wilting is going away and they are starting to be vertical again :thumbsup:
Did do a quick "dunk" to keep RR's moist. Temp same and all going well. Pics tomorrow and no I'm not going to do a daily update through out the entire grow just the start lol
Just got home from work so it's my time :jointsmile: :jointsmile: :jointsmile:

ooops, I just removed the paper towels. i keep the air in the house pretty low so the humidity stays down to. Thanks for the advice

Day 4, 5 and 6
ok to bring you all up to date still fighting the damage that came about with the high humidity in the fridge. Most likely going to lose 2 clones out of the 5 to stem rot, fucking sucks but I'm still learning as we all are. Hell if I knew it all I would have to find something else to do with my time :jointsmile:
first 2 pics are from day 4 when things were still looking a lil positive. Other 3 are from today. Last 2 pics are the 2 that I'm going to lose but GF says leave them be maybe they will come back ..... nope. RR's are still staying moist and took dome completely off as hunidity in room is like 60% and cant afford to lose anymore.

day 7
yup 2 will be dead by tomorrow.
funeral services will be held between 6:30 and 7:00 pm est tomorrow evening.


BYOB ....... Bring Your Own Bud!!

Will there be food ?

Oh well, who needs food when you got bud.

I will be there in black.

food? How about punch and pie?

It is refference to a xmas carole. When Scrooge is watching his death, the other business men will only go to his funeral if there is food. A joke of sorts but not a good one. LOL

ok it is closed casket ...... I cant bear to see them anymore /sniffle

Day 11
we have roots starting to emerge from the RR's on the 3 remaining clones!! :thumbsup:

Day 12
aprox 1/4 str nutes mixed in gal of ph'd water also 1 drop Superthrive. Dunking RR's by hand twice a day atm. Made a trip to Hydro store to restock nutes/ph adjust/hydrotron and while there picked up a thermostat for heat mat. average temp at RR level is now average 77 f hunidity around 50%

ok we def have 3 clones rooted in there RR's and tonite I put the 6" blocks to soak in PH'd water. tomorrow will take pics when they get moved to there new homes and you will see what to much fuckin humidity does!! they still look pretty sad but I'll save them!! :thumbsup: went to 1/2 str nutes tonite and bumped up ST to 1/4 tsp per gl PH'd water. oh btw I run tap water.

with 3 plants I hope this is the SCROG of the century. Bonsai plant style!:thumbsup:

ok as promised here are the pics of the 3 clones left. yep they look like shit but I'll bring em back np :thumbsup: they just got put in their new homes tonite. 1/2 str GH 3-part sitting under 4 75w cfl's on 24/7. If they perk up by Sunday I'll put them in the tray and let them taste the E&F life but we will see. This grow is gonna be in my smaller of 2 cabs/tents so 3 plants will fill it nicely. these are 6" blocks btw so you can est size.

I've seen worse.

You can pull them through.

Nice of you to show the down side and coming back. Not many want to show how bad it can get. Only want to show thier best.

It ain't always sunshine. I just tossed about 40 clones cause I was not paying attention. I put the wrong water on them and screwed them up good. Lost my BRO to the CANE complex. He saw what I had and now he is one pissed monkey. Wanted all I had, no lie. He thinks just cause he had a few mothers and gave me back a few clones that I owe him for life. This is blood now. So he screws me over in our plans and talks shit to friends.

You can't pick family.

By the sweat of my brow and the strength of my back, he has seen what I can do. I ask no quarter and I give no quarter.

the way I look at it is noone is perfect and why not show the oopses (not even sure that is a word lol) in what goes on. so far looks like about a 1 1/2 week delay in my grow time but I have had worst. today I have nothing new to report other than they are not dead ;)

tune in tomorrow when Tiny might say "Holy stinkweed Batman was that 2 skunks fucking or what??"

hey tiny...This is exactly what people need to see in a grow log. How we, as farmers, must overcome the craziest shit happening to our plants...and share with others how it is done.

Loc and Tiny...you both know how many times I almost killed my plants (and sometimes it wasn't my fault)...but, if I did not show the problems and how to fix it...no one can learn from my mistakes.

Loc...sorry to hear about your brother man. I come from the same path of CAIN shit that makes no sense to me. Live and let live. When you do good for other it will come back to you. Period. Karma is a bithc and it wil come back to fuck him in the end.

"That's about all I have to say about that..." (Forrest Gump):D

True dat, man

I don't know what it is but when there is alot of negative energy my plants do very poor. And they can tell. So I will keep my cool and the girls will be alright.

I think my trichomes are about 3/4 cloudy now. won't be long. Got the big flush going on.

Kicked the heating mat up a few degrees to help dry the RW blocks a lil faster, I forgot how much dam water those 6" blocks retain lol. Other than that nothing new to change :cool:

waited an extra day for the pic but we have new Growth on #1 for sure and this morning can just start to make out new growth on #3. Also trimmed off the dead crap this morning, not the whole branch mind you. I followed the branch of the dead leaf from the mian stem to the point wfere it shrivled and pinched itself off and that is where the trim took place. Tomorrow will wash out the cab that theses guys will be going into, setting up the tray and changing HPS back to MH. Have to make a trip to Wally World and pick up some air tubing, moving air pump outside of cabinet so pump isnt drawing in 85 degree air and pumping it into my rez. Place air pump outside of cab and can control temp a lil easier. Last 2 pics are of 1 of the nicer buds that just came out of our last round, not to bad for only a 7 week flower. Not to mention that the clones that were in that grow looked worst than the ones I'm doing now, Humidity issue real bad and took seeing it a second time to know what it was, lost 3 out of 5 and 1 of the survivors never really did grow worth a shit

It's amazing how life will find a way.

Sweet bud, what strain is it ?

strain called Medibud from the UK. Suppose to be a 9 week flower but have not been able to get yeilds up to support ourselves that long and cant afford to be buying out if we run out but we are finally figuring out what the best number of plants for our space and alot of basic things that will help solve this problem :thumbsup:

well so far this grow is pretty shity being day 27 start from clones and just now making it into the cabinet.

Lets recap shall we??
Started 5 clones lost 2 due to high humidity conditions and nursed other 3 till now.
2 of the surviving clones are doing well and holding onto hopes for the third.
Today they finally made it to their new home and are now being flooded 5 times a day 15 mins per flood.
full strength on nutes with 1 drop of ST per gal of 6.0 water
400w Cooltube running MH bulb 18 on 6 off

Hopefully things will take off now that they made it in here :thumbsup:

Thanks to this thread I have not stressed out at my first attempt at cloning. I lost 4 of mine, but I have hope for the remaining 2. Thanks Tiny for showing the good, the bad and the ugly.

not a problem and glad if anything I show or talk about helps. Hell all we are is just people and people have shit happen every now and then so why hide it lol :jointsmile:

but even amongst the ugly...a good amount should survive! Tiny is rocking it out with these clones! Should be very interesting to watch this through the end. Hell, it wasn't that long ago that I was fretting over horrible looking seedlings! Nice little setup Tiny. I can't wait to see how it does! :jointsmile:

these pics are from the 16th which is 3 days in cabinet and #1 and #3 are no doubt liking the new home but I am still having doubts on #2 as I have seen no signs of new growth and the 1 leaf it has is getting pretty dry and brittle so I thinking if nothing new and green within the next week then I will be pulling it and going with just the 2.

maybe doing a one time folier sparay with vitamin b-1 would help out plant #2,might be just what she needs

plant #2 did root in the RR but I think the stem just got to far gone as there are no signs or spots of green, like the tophalf is basically dead but bottom half wont give up lol. They get B-1 through the ST also and after having a "wet" issue to begin with I not sure if I want to folier or not hehe but ty for the input :jointsmile:

they are dead tinytoon no hope hahaha jk

boy I hope that really is a j/k :(
