"Kinda wild" Trial grow

[Vancefish]

High ya! Yo got a bigger pot now!!

Hey Weeding4u.

Update: Today Weeding4u and I (Good friend I referred to the forum and will be growing with/for)got 2 new clones. First one is a Durban poison. Second was SAID to be G-13.

We mixed a couple organic composts, bat guano soil, and worm castings, some of my local greenhouse potting mix and some extra perlite to make a nice soil. Then re potted my seedlings (YES they were a bit close if not already root bound). Then we potted up the two new rooted clones into the 6" pots the seedlings were in before.

I was also able to test my water today. It came out to 7.8. Which I could barely believe. So off to the store, where I bought a soil test strip kit and some PH down. After getting this stuff. I tested the soil PH and found it to be 8 after watering in with the filtered water I've always used. So, I re-watered them in using water adjusted to 6. Hoping I can even that out to around 7 today and lower on the next watering.

However the Phosphorus, Nitrogen and Potassium are all just barely higher then perfect.

Weeding4u also brought me some type of fish emulsion stuff. I was thinking since these are SO wet and this soil so rich, we'll wait until the next or following watering to add this.

I'll get pics up after they all stabilize. At this point they look almost the same as before. Except bigger pots! :thumbsup:

Hoot! I know I have girls now! :thumbsup:

Pics of plant1(pics 1,2):

After re potting today I decided to start the next bend to aim the main top around the pot. I figure as long as I stressed it already a bit today, I'll start that bend as well.

Pics of plant2(pics 3,4):

This one looks awesome to me. Although I haven't really seen any growth the last few days. I bet it'll grow a lot with the new space and soil.

Here is plant3 (pics 1,2):

This is the droopy girl. Thought it was over watered. I'm thinking Nitrogen deficient mixed with near root binding now though. After soaking it just two days ago, the soil was dry as a bone at re pot today. So, we'll see,..

Pic 3 is the new Durban poison! :thumbsup:

Pic 4 is the new G-13. (?:wtf This is questionable as it's said to be a lost genetics line, with the possibility of some cloned mothers somewhere. Most are a cross with something else though, as it's said a cutting(female) was stolen from the CIA. However no male! This happened in the 70's too. Thus most if not all are a cross with this strain.

Edit: I also did pot them deeper to use up some stem. :thumbsup:

Congrats on the new girls, let's hope the other 3 are also! Although 5 teenage girls sounds like a handful!

They love the new dirt! :thumbsup:

I could see some change yesterday, but not enough to call it growth. However I'd like to have a record of what they looked like after recovering from the re pot.

Here is plant 1(LST) SHE'S been stretching a little on all branches. Trying to get out from under big leaves. Most of the branches are now poking through. Although branches in the darkest area under the side bent down are having trouble getting to the light still.

Plant 2(topped)

Also loving the new soil and space. This girls lowest branches are just starting to reach through the canopy. Although there is some definat stretching there I think this is the hardiest of the three.

Plant 3 (natural)

This girl looked pretty bad to me a few days ago. Droopy and some minor yellowing. Now I thing she's stretched, but looking good.

And the two new clones.

Pic 1 is the Durban poison

Pics 2 is the G-13(?) When we potted this girl she had wrinkled leaves, some were browned on the tips too. After we potted then I trimmed off the leave tips that were browned to reduce water loss. It now has new leaves just popping out and starting to expand. However two of those messed up leaves are still on the clone and starting to outright brown! Should I remove them or let them keep pulling water as they fade? Then trim after a leaf or two form up top.

Re-potting WAS the way to go too! :thumbsup:

And sorry about the spelling. Eyes and fingers are tired, brain is just :stoned:!

Today I decided I need more light! :thumbsup: I'd been thinking of adding CFLs to the hood. Because moving them around to expose more shoots is a pain, AND plant 3 is still stretching.

I also decided to tie back the four upper branches on Plant2 to expose the lowest two, to more light (and shorten the plant a little). However today plant 2 is showing either nute burn or K lockout(I'm going with nute burn). I flushed today with PH set water since it was getting a bit dry anyway.

I added four new 6500K CFLs, wired the same way as before. All are 23W(100w eq). Adding 6400 more lumins!:yippee: Now totaling 17900 lumins. Now I just need to add some reflective end caps somehow.
