alright.. around day 48-52 veg for my 10 kids.. what is that, 7weeks from seed? (6) 26w 6500k, (2) 42w 3200k on 18/6. given the stress they suffered the last few weeks there was alot of stunted progress as compared to alot of other growers on this site.. in fear of them losing the good fight, i planted more seeds, total 26. my friend got on the bandwagon and started his own, so im helping him, monitoring his as well as mine.. on my offtime i went out and got some liquid nutes and put strawful measurements in 20oz bottles of dasani water (with balanced pH around 6.8) and i water the 10 between 2 20oz bottles.. the leaves are growing HUGE.. they used to be the size of half my finger, now they're spreading almost the size of my palm.. amazing! i'm watering them once in the day, every other 3 days.. between the 2-3 i finger-check the soil to see how early they may need some juice, if early is necessary

my retarded plant Stimpy, who appeared to have topped itself ended up topping itself again.. I noticed this wierd squibble of plant matter on the top of the new shoot that never comes in, it moves to another node and ends up topping in that area.. so far its now at 4 heads.. SO i took one shoot and cut it for cloning..

as well, i cut a clone from the 2-header that got topped from the light burn.. after they've developed their roots, i'm gonna force flower and sex these 2. I followed the guide in the advanced section, Clone Log - Cloning with Pics using Master Kush mom.. I got a powdered rooting hormone from Walmart, I hope it does the trick. I used the really small plastic cups, I think they're 8oz cups that I cut in 1/3rds.. I filled the bottom up with organic potting soil (MG) nd went to town with the clones. I placed the cuttings in a BIGGER size plastic cup (same style, frosty clear) and filled the bottom with water til the cuttings floated (cutting in a 1/3rd cup floating inside a bigger cup) and sealed it off with plastic wrap. The temperature in my area stays around 80ΒΊ so they should developed a moist environment quickly, simple personal humidome

as for the other 8, one is undergoing some twisting stress.. I was originally performing LST on this one but i couldnt bare seeing it shackled to the rim of its 'pot'.. so i set it free mid-training- only to end up letting it twist into a spiral sideways.. at the same time, the stress has started to create a wierd squibble similar to what i noticed on the retarded Stimpy. 2 others i recently topped.. 2 shoots are growing in fast on one of them..

Internode shoots are starting to appear and/or grow at this time for almost all my 10ers. the rest of them are nearing their 9th nodes.. i'm waiting for the new shoots to come in before i finish topping the rest of the crop.

As for the 16 newbies they're nearing 2-3 weeks growth. Noticing the fruits and wonders of topping I want to try and get in early so I can have early clones to work with. I have a few retarded looking plants, I'm not sure how long they're going to survive. However, my 1 retarded plant ended up dishing out 4 heads and still counting, so perhaps they'll do the same.. Its gonna be awesome finding out which gender these kids are..

can anyone answer this question.. is it a wise move to cut back on a liquid ferts after topping a plant or giving it stress? To what degrees will the liquid ferts become bad for the plant? I'm a little afraid of burning, though at the moment the kids are LOVING IT.. I wanna give'm as much as I can, but I don't know how much is too much =\.. I'm currently just playing it safe.

pics coming soon! i'm moving things around in the house so after i get resettled I'll hook u guys up!
