Hello all,

I am going into my second year playing with this now and just have a couple of questions.

First off I am working with seeds that came from I guess a bag seed mix, inexpensive and the strains not known. I have two lights, one is a 150W HPS and the other a 400W mH. I currently use the HPS for veg only as there is usually one one girl in there at a time, maybe two at the most. Then they go to the mH for flowering.

The yields that I am getting from these just seems unusually low, like maybe 1oz per plant at best. I usually give them a weak 20-20-20 during the veg period, then a weak bloom builder in flowering. The reason for the weakness in solution I find is because they are always showing signs of nute burn... So I typically just use clean water on them.

Just wasn't sure how much of this was due to the unknown strain, and at that price (100 seeds for $25) I'm not too sure about the strain quality. Like there must be a strong relation to the strain verses the yield. I know there are other elements too, but that one stood out in my mind.

I have been cloning one of them as its of a great quality and smokes very smooth. I have had minimal success with this. The first few times I always just used a very light soil mixture for seedlings, put them in the dark with a humidity dome over them for about a week. Then under floros for a bit until I see some new growth. I have one right now that I took out of the soil because it looked like it was dying and the leaves turning bright yellow. I have since put it into a 50/50 mix of vermiculite and perlite. The leaves are still drying up, but the yellow is almost gone. This has been almost 2 weeks and they haven't really shown too much new new growth. When I transplanted them I did see root growth at the base. Maybe just in shock for a bit?? I just use straight water on them too.

Places to purchase rockwool around my location are pretty closely watched so its not easy to get really. But I heard my above 50/50 mix works as well.

I think I know the answer to this, but I have one of these girls that I like flowering almost a month along, I believe its too late to be cloning her now right? One has already come down and I have put back into veg to see what will happen. Just taking its time....


Any feedback would be appreciated, I just want to have confidence that I can clone and work with good material. Also should I consider getting a higher quality seed in order to up my yield? They do grow kind of tall and lanky usually. Certainly not like the Avatar pictures shown here !!


Thanks again !:thumbsup:
