Hey Guys I have not forgotten about you or been lazy, just very busy so I'll try to fill you in.

The water issues are undercontrol for the time being. We are still using Rain water and I feed about once a week. My plants kept getting progressively smaller though and I couldn't figure out why.

Then it made sense. My mothers were suffering just as much as everyone else, but I kept pushing them and taking clones to early then rushing them to harden off to keep up with my cycle. Needless to say they gave up on giving me new clones. They have been recuperating for the past 3 weeks and being let to grow out after being transplanted up and tied down.

Before my plants were ending up to tall so I thought small clones were the way to go but kept puttingthem in smaller before I saw the results of the ones already in there.

In the meantime I needed more clones.

I never got around to telling you about my out door grow. Back in Feb I planted 2 sative unknown one per pot, and 12 indica unknown 2 per pot. We had a very late spring thaw in June. And by then the poor plants were root bound, and all sorts of sad shapes and colors, about 24" high.

I figured I wanted to use them as an experiment to see what they would do so I planted them in the garden right in front of the house. I ran a rope from one end of the garden to the other ans stked it down, then twisted the plants around the rope sideways keeping them very low. It took them a while to settle in and even turned a little purple from the cold nights but after a while they just took off. They turned into a huge bushy hedge about 3 feet tall all the way across and a foot and a half wide.

I took tons of clones and filled up my trays which are now blowing roots every where.

At the same time I stopped my cycle and didn't put any other plants into flower to give them all a chance to catch up and because we were having huge heat issues in our room.

Because of the heat I eventually had to shut all the lights down...
(I'm going to post this before I get side tracked and pick up right where I left off. please feel free to post comments and questions but I'm going to wait till I catch you right up to respond to them all. Don't worry it just gets even more interesting.)
