growing wide

I'm kind of interested in bim.

I tried my first Fim a few weeks ago, This cannabis.com forum guide really helped...

Started the 12/12 cycle this morning, or was that yesterday morning? Today's kinda-a-blur. I'm now counting 18 budsites, and 7 of them look like they could be the "top" of the plant.....but aren't.

So looks like I'll have 8 main cola's? Hopefully I'll have room


The clone has her own little spot with a set of 4 26w cfls. I'll add more as she grows as needed, but for now that is all I can fit around her. Oh, and I now have her in a 4" pot with 50% humus wood compost, 40% pearlite and about 10% local garden center soil that has worm caseings and lime in it. I had been keeping the mix wet for a few days before the transplant, and the water comming out the drain wholes was just right:thumbsup:

Hopefully pics to follow soon.

Call me a profit, as I'm about to tell you,.. your future.

Grats on the 12/12. Good luck with the cutting as well. 4-26w is plenty for a clone.

HOWEVER,... It is going to take you 8-10 weeks to flower out your first plant(mom).

So,.. Any plan for the baby? Or are you planning to veg it for the entire 8+ weeks??

Because this is what you get with eight weeks veg using LST(5 gallon pot).

Do clones even flower quicker than Mom? Very Eeentresting.

Not positive yet. I have a few ideas bouncing in my head. One is to make a stealth shed in my crawl space large enough for two or three in flower, and a large enough space for a veg section to keep the flower room always full

Don't know if that will actually end up happening before the clone is ready for it though. If she gets too big I may take a clipping off her, and set her free. I live right on the edge of the rockies, and can think of a few secluded places she would probably be happy.

This may be a dumb question, but I'm going to ask The light bulb that I have for flower, the 150w 2700k CFL, came not working. Another is in the mail, but I am already 3 days into flower. It won't effect the flowering too awful much having a veg bulb for the first week or so of flowering will it?

fdasfdsa

Oops ^^^

Here I am 8 days into flower. Starting to see white hairs popin' out all over, and it has just about doubled in size in the past week:thumbsup:

Got the new 150w CFL 2700k bulb up and running now plus the four 26w CFLs, and she seems......content.

Mini Me is growing ok now. It has just barely noticibly been inching out growth for the past week, but now today at day 18 it about doubled in size. The most important lesson learned? Don't clone such small stems. Anyway, I ought to start to see good growth now.

Also, since growth was accelerating I made a bim cut earlier today, and the lower branches really started showing.

Dang it:smokebong:

Third times a charm I guess. Here are the photos that go with the one up there

[firstfist]

Starting to look good. I'm starting to see some good crystals forming already Should end up being a snowy plant :thumbsup:
