Ya know, I've come to the conclussion that one of the "fun" (yes, I'm using the term with sarcasm lol) things about growing is that no matter how many times you've done it, you never know just what's really going to happen. So, two weeks later.........

The cloning has been less than successful, and I have no idea what went wrong. I did everything almost exactly the same as the last two times, but for some reason this time the cuttings just didn't want to root. My last two cloning attempts were very successful, giving me 7/8 clones the first time, and 8/8 the second time. THIS time, however, I only got 3/8 and two of them rooted almost 10 days later than the first one.

So, it looks like I'm going to run with three plants instead of the six I was expecting. Which means I'll be changing things up just a touch.....again lol. At very least I'll be topping all of them. And I *might* go buy some chicken wire and run this as a SCRoG. Maybe.

In any even, I'm off and running. The hydro system is set up and the clones will go in the tank this afternoon. Some numbers and such:

TDS - currently at 580ppm @ 0.7. This strain likes a lot of food, so I'll probably be topping out around 1350ppm. On the other hand, I've also thrown in some Hydroguard this time around, which I haven't really used before. So my numbers may even be a bit higher.

pH - 6.3 as of this morning. I added in some pH Down - aiming for ~5.8. I usually run around 5.6 or so, but based on the experiences of some other growers I think I'm going to let it drift a bit higher this run and try to hold it in the neighborhood of 5.8-6.0.

Temps - Ambient is about 68F. Reservoir is 72F. I haven't turned the HPS on yet, so these numbers don't mean much lol.

The babies in the cloner - the tall one is the one that rooted first.




Hi Mom
Help_Needed Reviewed by Help_Needed on . Help_Needed's Fast and Simple - aka the Oh-My-God-I'm-out-of-weed grow Hello Cannacom :). Haven't done a full grow journal on this side yet. I started out one a while ago, but I was also running a journal for the same grow on another forum and double posting everything got old fast, so I sort of gave up. This time, though, this will be the only journal. My last harvest was April 15. At the time I had all sorts of glorious ideas of how I was going to improve the grow next time. But unfortunately I can't grow over the summer due to heat issues, and somehow Rating: 5
