Blueberyy/Belladonna/Sweet Tooth Log

[smpaz420]

that 400 is to much light for them. Everyone else suggests using a small cfl because they dont need much light while rooting.

[slayer34ny]

Thanks for advice. The manufacturer says no prob on HPS. Plus I have 3 other females in there. I only have 1 closet to work with, so I will see how it goes.

[slayer34ny]

Well they are all rooted and are showing nice bright green new growth. Dosed em' w/ some grow big (1/2 tsp) in thier fresh water. It has been about 5 days, and the cover is still on. I am going to remove it tomarrow and prepair for transplanting. I plan on using some pro-mix/perlite in some 16oz solo cups. I will fill them, dig out a lil' valley in middle and set the clones about 1/2 way into soil. Trans to be done Saturday.

Since this worked so well I am planning on taking another 70 cuttings on sunday So the next time you see my girls the may look a lil' butchered.

A few pics of the clones and a pic of the girls before I take more cuttings.

P.S. - I got my new MH bulb. A better quality HTG said. Its an Agro-Max. They sent both the HPS and the MH because they felt bad about all the blown bulbs........So I have the MH in now and the light cycle it 18/6, till all the clones are out the door and off to be w/ mother nature

Well it turns out it takes alot longer to completely root these clones. It has been a week and still no roots showing OUT of the rapid rooters. They are rooted, I have checked, but just not as much as I had wanted or expected. I removed about 30 of em' and did what I planned above (transplant). I left the other 40 or so in the tray and gave them to a friend who has more room and can put them under their own light or outside. I am sure if I had a independant clone area it would be for the best, so i am not taking any more cuttings. I want bud, and I am taking them to 12/12 on tuesday (today). I fed them the last of the Grow Big and added some Open Sesame (1 tspn/G) to start early stacking. I will start the Tiger Bloom/Big Bloom/Beastie Bloomz schedule next week.

A few pics of the food, and the mommies are coming soon. Waiting for the lights to come on

Your log is very interesting. Good reading. Looks like you should have a decent harvest when it's all done.

Good Luck, slayer34ny

First, thanks Mr. Shovelhandle. I am trying to make it as helpful as possible. I know there is a lot of info I am leaving out, but i am trying my best

Second, here are a few pics. The first 2 are my mommies. 2 Blueberry's and 1 Belladonna (from left to right). I took no more cuttings, but these plants had about 75 clones taken from them ALREADY! The third pic is of the pots I trans from ......to. They are 4 gallons. The old ones were 2 gallons. The fourth is of all the nutes I am using and a schedule I am sticking too. The last pic is of my other lil' monster, Midnight. After a few strong bong hits!!!!! LOL. He loves the smoke, he acctually whines for it. My other cat only eats the stuff, hates the smoke. Funny thing is his name is Smoker I found them in a box on the side of the road about 10 years ago (only 2 left alive, other 6 were dead;() and they have been with me ever since. They kill everything in sight, they are quite wild. Rabbits, mice, moles, rats, squirrels, skunks and yes even a grown raccoon and a mallard duck.

P.S. - My noobishness has reared its ugly head again. I thought I messed up the clones...turns out they are very well rooted and are quite ahead of schedule. These are generational gorillia growers and said they were the best crop of clones yet this season. They laughed at me because I had given up only a week in....lol. I am still not taking any more cuttings, I want my mommies in flowering NOW!!!!!

[slayer34ny]

OK, so It is the end of the first week of flowering. I had noticed a lil' odd development on the Belladonna, but figured it would grow out of it. But alas it hasent stopped. The other 2 Blueberry's are fine. In fact i am quite happy with them. I have had to clip the tops of 2 of them (1 BB-1BD).

I had to raise the light and add a fan to the grow room. I figure it is heat stress. I am getting a reading of 78 in there. Hope it drops with the new fan. I got the window netting down as it is the only way to get more air to the plants. And with the door open I fear my ladies will suffer a lil' cat damage

I also went for a flushing today and prob next watering. Maybe the new OF is too much for BD w/ the nute supply???

The pics are in this order........1st a BB...then another BB....then my BD. The 4th is the top of BD and the 5th is the middle section of BD. The bottom, or "older leaves" appear fine. The switch from MH to HPS mess it up??? Temp??? Natural occurance??? Opinions appreciated.

[slayer34ny]

Here are a few pics of 1 of my BB. All three are looking good, and the claw has subsided a lil. I am not sure if it was a overwatering issue or a nute issue, but it is improving. I am at week 2 of flowering. New pics coming every few days. Wish I could get it colder in ther cause I am sure from my researching that it is what helps it turn purple/blue. I am reading about 78 in there

[slayer34ny]

Well the Belladonna is looking sooooo fine. Not that the Blueberry looks bad, but the BD flowers look very tasty. I will be posting pics later tonight of all 3 ladies. The 70 clones i cut are all doing quite well outside. About a foot tall and transplanted into a nice soil bed. They were rootbound in the solo cups, and ready to begin thier fight for survival. Damn deer everywhere, grubs and bugs. And of course the occasional scammer (hate these guys the most)

P.S. - I also ordered some Hashberry seeds and some PPP, should be ariving soon. Will prob try them next

[slayer34ny]

Here are the pics I promised. The first two are of the Blueberry. The next two are of the Belladonna . The last pic is a group photo. They have all been topped, about 3 weeks into veg. And are not showing much stretching or growth now. Think they have reached their max height. I am measuring about 40" which is fine for me because I dont have more than 3-6" left to raise the light.
