Rusty's Re-Veg...

[Rusty Trichome]

As long as they are going in-ground, no worries over rootspace. No big deal not cutting them. Early-on I tried finishing in 3 gallon pots, cutting just a little of the roots, and right back into the 3's, thinking I could up-pot into 5's just before putting them to flower. Ran out of rootspace about 3 weeks into flower in the 5's and had to go get some 15's. (why don't they have 10 gallon nursery pots...?)
Anyway, it screwed-up my entire schedule because they took up so much time and room. That's when I started the severe trimming-back, and has been working for me ever since.

Perhaps practice cloning with a couple of expendable shoots. A little practice goes a long way.

Looking great. I might have gone for more side-branching and lighting to pull side branches away from the cola's, but I'm sure they'll do fine. Success feels pretty good, eh? :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

There first re pot, all went back in there original pots and second went into double size pots, but didn't trim roots because going out, i want as many as possible. I got 5 gallons of perlite for 5 bucks at the nursery.

Well im planning to take clones to veg through summer to flower right after the out door is finished. And i do need the practice.

Geez that was one thing i thought about was the branches just growing straight up to the lights. Thought, well once they are out, then the branch growth would open up and spread out, which im sure they will. But, i really should have used the light to do so. Just spinning the plant off to the side would have done it. Next year il know to take care of that tho.

And yeah, im feeling pretty good about them so far. I sure understand why you re veg that for sure. I think its something i would always do after each grow now. My veg area is close to being done to take clones from the NL for winter indoor. Id like to keep one for a mother also, i just think i can save time and seeds this way. Plus i can make sure i dont run out of buds, like now.

So hows your veg doing, just haven't seen any resent pic's of them babies:hippy:

Thanks again Rusty:rasta:

Here's a recent batch:
( Lemon Skunk )
Went from a 5 gallon bucket to a 1 gallon. Had to top her more due to headroom issues. Now in a two gallon, and ready for further shaping, or taking clones, or whatever...
The other re-veg is a cross between Inca Spirit, PokerFace, and Diesel. Heavily indica, heavily stinky. About 2 weeks re-veg since harvesting and trimming on both of 'em.

good work rusty,thanks! this will help heaps as i'm 2wks into re-veg on a mystery indica dom.i left a few small buds on mine-its wierd seeing new growth coming out the top of the buds!!

I think i will flower one inside Rusty, how long do you think with the cfl's? I guess it would take just as long as the first go-round, lol. My Edna turned out the best, because it was off to the side and i got some side branches out of her.

Man i want to get some lemon skunk, il bet its nice. I think you had said that strain was old school strain, not all crossed up to ruin it. I am going to find a good indica, its been years since iv seen any around here. Its a sham what people have done to some of the older strains, i remember smoking red bud and i know people thats never heard of it.

Your re veg really put out the roots guy. I thought you put them in bigger pots before flower. Also, im going to work on cloning too, powder or gel? I know you've probably used both and was wondering which you might advise. If its same, il get the cheaper one. I hate the always going cheap, but as of now i really dont have a choice living with this person that doesnt pay her share.

I really want to get a light. The cfl's are ok, but it just takes at least an extra month to flower. In time i guess.

Gotta show off the Edna Rusty, thanks again and im glad your here man :jointsmile:. These will go out to grow into a bush i hope, plus a couple of seedlings i had to put perlite in. Never bought perlite and got 5 gallons for 5bucks, so i will always use it from now on. Not sure of the yellowing, could have been the few hours in the sun, not sure? Im not sure how to use the Ph pen, it reads 7.1 always and the Ph um buffer solution is 4.0. Really dont know where to get the info how to use it, or how it works.
Sorry this post is umping all over, im in a rush and i had replied, but the site drop me or something and everything i wrote was gone, i was mad. The Edna is the second from the NL on the left.

Once normal growth kicks in, you can think of how you want them trimmed and trained. I try and not flower till they've had a couple of weeks of recovery time after their last trim. You can trim as often as necessary, as long as necessary...but roots will become an issue. If you can afford the setback, give trimming the roots a go on one, and re-pot in the same size pot. Helps to build confidence and self esteem, and broadens your horizons. (in a "been there, done that" kinda way

Here's a few Clone Hints...
A couple more Here.

I've been bummed about what backyard breeders have been doing to our base genetics, but it seems nobody in power gives a crap, lol. Had it been legal all this time, OB's (Original Breeders) could have gotten enforcable patents, and no more seed-bay. Oh well.

Will likely take as long in flower as the first time. The time advantage is mainly in the re-veg.

The LS I got is quite stony, but is looking weak genetically, so far. It got kinda cold, but I didn't think it was cold enough for the nanners they got. Strange thing is...no seeds. Not a friggin one. Went full to harvest, not even immature seeds. Has me intrigued enough to take clones and re-try.

You have to keep the probe moist at all times. Once it dries-out, it needs replacing. (sorry) Keeping it in some of the 4.0 solution should prevent problems, but don't let it evaporate, and keep from light. :thumbsup:

Hey Rusty, iv got my thread started in the outdoor section. I had began to write and got a lot of info on the thread, but then was booted some how and the thread i hadn't finished some how got posted, so look for the one with the pics in it. Before ya check it out, look at the recent pics i posted here. I was amazed at the growth i got. But my NL is looking a bit yellow. Iv been pushing the nutes so i gave it a flush, so will see. But that Edna looks perfect if i say so myself. lol Your advise is huge for me Rusty and plus il stop filling your thread by pickin your brain man:hippy: Oh and they still wont let me give ya Rep:wtf:

Lookin' good Rusty!

If I may borrow your re-vegging expertise...I've got some moms in hempy buckets that I put to 12/12 for about a week just to sex em'. They're sexed and are now back on 18/6. I will be taking clones from these to put outside, and the moms I don't want to keep, I'll put them outside too.

So I'm concerned about taking cuttings so soon after sexing/re-vegging. Will this affect the clones growth/health at all? They won't be put outside for another few weeks.

[Rusty Trichome]

The clones will focus on sending-out roots, and should be fine. Might take an extra day or two though.

Just make sure the rooted clones are showing healthy (no twisting of the fingers, or mutated leaves) new growth before you start hardening 'em up for outdoors. Are you staying in pots, or digging holes?

[Joefarmer]

Both pots (10-15gal) and holes (bigger than pots). Once they're rooted, they'll be put into small pots under some t5's, and once they're happy there, they'll then be hardened off and transplanted into the great outdoors.
