Practice makes perfect

Today was a big day. The ladies have grown up better that I could have hoped. When this first started the plan was just to take some bag seeds veg them for a bit and then flower asap. Now that things have gone over so well the plan has expanded. Today four clones from each plant were taken. When the clones were first transplanted they looked pretty bad, its been only like 4 hours though and already the clones are getting stronger. I cant wait to flower one of them from each plant and find out once and for all if these ladies are in fact ladies.

Herreic68 Reviewed by Herreic68 on 01-08-2008. Practice makes perfect So I got my basement closet all set and ready. All I need are some seeds right. Well, luckily my brother came into town with two tiny seedlings that he was able to germinate out of a bag of some unusualy dank nugs. I'm really excited that I can put the growroom though a bit of a test run while I order and wait for some real seeds. I wish I could just sit and watch them grow. Anyway... Right now I got 6 23w cfl daylights. I hope to get them under a 400 Hps after they grow up a bit and I get Rating: 5

Looking good; the one thing I would suggest is to move your lights AWAY from the clone dome. Leave them over the plants, and let the clones sit in dim weak light so they don't use moisture so fast. That will cause them to wilt.

One of the reason your clones are sagging so badly is sheer weight. Trim the fan leaves and they'll stand up straighter and have less chance for rot.

sweet thanks for the advice. I am really shooting from the hip on most of this stuff and just hoping for the best.

A good practice when clipping leaf tips is:
-Cut all leaf blades down to one inch long
-Mist with Wilt-Pruf
-Allow to fully dry before placing under humidity dome that has been misted on the inside with plain water
-Keep temps under the dome steady at all times.
If this means running a light 24/0, that's fine, although some growers report that clones 'strike' faster if given some dark each day. I am satisfied with my own results under 24/0 and it is the choice of the individual grower based on conditions.
This helps reduce risk of mold.

I too like 24 hour lighting for cuttings, but that's the only thing I use it for.
