flowering mom

[McDanger]

Just a quick update. She is putting on the trichs, and starting to get dense. Sorry I don't have any pics, I broke my camera trying to fit a homemade macro lense. I hope it comes back from the shop soon. Buds don't smell much which is good since my exhaust fan motor blew on me (I was using an old furnace blower fan) and the duct booster fan doesn't push enough air for the filter.
The clones I moved to the aero system have 4 rooted and in pots now. They look great, the rest are still alive, just not putting out any roots. I took 10 more clones from another bagseed plant I have. As soon as they root I will put 1 in 12/12 to sex it and go from there.
Sorry for the rambling post and no pics.

This may be a little long.
First off I must give props to stinky for a correct diagnosis once again.(you truely are the queen) The mom was rootbound, although not really bad. I think I had a compound problem. rootbound and a lockout of k due to too much manure in my soil mixture.
I transplanted yesterday to Sta-green veg and flower soil (.05-.04-.03) with 16qt of perlite added to 2cu ft of the soil, and watered with water from the dehumidifier. I cut off the necrotic leaves that were mostly dead(6-7 leaves), but I still have some curling and discoloration of the larger fans. I don't know if this is residual or new. Other than this minor (I think) problem everything seems to be chugging along.

OK, I have another plant in an aeroponics system that I am using for clones and then I am going to try to Bonsai and move to soil.(I don't have the room to run 2 systems at once, soil + hydro). There are 3 more shoots to cut as soon as I have space, then I will cut her down to size.
$ clones from the mom in flower are in soil now and growing good, 2 more are finally getting roots. The others from the bonsai (10) are in the bubble cloner for 4 days now. After I harvest the mom I will clean the flower room and do some improvements, then move the clones to flower.

I have a question, the bin the mom is in now is 15"w X21"L X15"deep, how many clones could I flower in this if they are put in after about 40 days veg? I was thinking 4 but maybe only 2. Oh, 400w HPS and 250w MH. room is roughly 4 X 4. I think that is it for nowimp:

It is 32 days in 12/12, actually 13/11(thanks Opie). She looks to be doing good, not much growth lately. I have just been watering with dehumid water with 1tsp molasses and cal-mag+ since I still have some of the bigger fans yellowing and getting necrotic spots. Also trying to hermie one of the small lower branches by putting a bag over it for a few hour per day during lights on.
I think I killed a bunch of the clones yesterday, I shut off the pump to adjust the pH and forgot to turn it back on till last nite. I think a couple will come back but I think I killed 6 or 7.

sorry about the clones. Your plant looks beautiful though!

You can try super cropping during flowering to try to hermie the plants. the best thing to do is get that plant more hours of light during flowering to hermie. not less. Why are you trying to hermie the plant? its bagseed right? why do you want seeds? when you can just clone. plus if you hermie the plant you may get hermie seeds as well. if you ever want to do breading you should never use a plant that is hermied or feminized seeds, it just fucks up the genetics of cannabis and leads to low end weed. your also going to pollinated your other plant to if you hermie just one. (just my thought)

McDanger your plants look like they're coming along nicely. I don't see much of the yellowing you talk about, but it's perfectly normal during flowering. Sometimes nearly all the leaves die and fall off before harvest, sometimes hardly any do.

The good thing about nearly killing a bunch of clones is that you find out which are the strongest.
