My CFL clones
Sup everyone been reading a bunch of the logs and so i decided to write one of my own. A lil backstory since my clones are a bit grown. They're about 2 months old and were the 2 best out of 4 clones cut. This was my first time cutting clones and didnt use a humidity dome or anything so a 50/50 survival was fine with me.
I started them in peat pellets and transplanted into 1 gallon pots when roots came through peat netting. Soil was Miracle Grow (slow release CRAP). Surprisingly they did nicely and didnt show any burning or lockout. When I transplanted into 2 gallon pots(same MG soil) they suffered from PH lockout and really slowed down growth not to mention alot of dead foliage. I flushed them with PH corrected water a few times and they perked back up. There was no point in me transplanting into 2 gallon pots but I did out of stupidity LOL. After they settled down from the PH issues they got a final transplant into 5 gallon pots which was done last thursday night. This time I still used Miracle Grow soil but it was the "ORGANIC" mix and added foam rock, peat moss, and chicken shit. MY soil PH was a low/mid 6 so that made me happy. I just got some FF grow big and fed them that but will start using FF tiger bloom now since I started 12/12.
That just about gets everything caught up so now Ill delve into the setup. Its just a simple CFL grow in my closet. Im running 8x26watt (2700k 1750Lumens) CFLs under a homemade hood with dual PC fan exhausts. Temps are in the mid to high 80's with humidity ranging from 55%-65%. Ventilation is terrible with a rigged up 6" fan blowing out the only window in my closet. I have an oscillating fan on them also and a dehumidifier when I need it. I cant cut intake/exhaust holes in there like I would like to so this is what I have to work with. I plan on getting stronger fans eventually.
The clones were the bottom 2 branches off the "mother" which I harvested already. I cut them in half to make a total of 4 clones. The 2 bottom halves were growing better so I kept them and the tops were dumped. They grew 2 nice branches that I topped at the 8th or 9th node to promote bushier growth. Throughout the entire grow I have been doing some LSTing and just started more serious LSTing today.
Monday was the first day of 12/12 so when do I start counting the days for flowering. From monday or when preflowers show? Ill be happy to answer any questions and comments yall have :thumbsup:
