:wtf:

might have to restart from clone. Still growin and Only the Right Plant's branches are starting to harden.

First is Day 12

[tinytoon]

your gonna have to pinch them suckers early. you have a mighty low ceiling.

Hmm, got a few questions for opinions..

Is the stretching due to not enough light(ive been successful with less), or just genetics?
They did seem to be growing well and keeping side growth down, but after it touched the cool tube it began to slow. Im thinking it did this over night before i could adjust and forced the side growth to try and take over. they are probably sativa dom.

There's about 14" of grow space. I think i just need to get a hold of some autoflower/indica/ruderalis strain, or up my space...

In the mean time, im thinking of chopping the tops and letting them root in plain water. Staying on 12/12, once the roots hit the water ill introduce nutes. So since its a mature clone this time, think itl go straight to flower or stretch the same? if thats the case, i can do an extra low scrog from 12/12 instead.. what do yall think? lights on in a couple hours, so if they grew anymore and havnt sex'd i may have no choice. will update when they are up.

They reached the top so i had no choice would have loved to finish these outside or in a bigger setup as they look to be ready to start flowering.

Hopefully they'll root in a week and i can start a new day 1 with a more matured clone

Got rid of the cool tube as i think im losing penetration with it. no heat difference, and i bet i could have (and would only be necessary for) cooled a 200W with it

Just a few before and after pics:
-Size 12" shoe for reference.
-extra small growing medium.

The After

[tinytoon]

The "stretch" that these lil buggers go through is (to the best of my knowledge) do to the plants looking for the 6 hours of light that they are not getting after flower, even more so if using MH bulbs to veg. Also with my grow downstairs I was able to see difference between 400w and 600w lights on same strain plants. The 400w stretches alot more than the 600w so lamp distance is key.

The top main cuts that took the previous plants place are spreading at the stem. white root bumps look to be starting. Will continue these for now, but i broke down and sent for phenos :thumbsup:

Hammerhead

Hammerhead
is an mainly indica plant structure with fast growth and fast flowering. It's genetics come from White Rhino x Medicine Man. Hammerhead cannabis seeds are easy to grow and require no special care. This plant is very grateful because it is very productive, and the buds are compacted in an extraordinary manner. Another feature is the leaves, the flower and the plant that take a spectacular purple colour look. Hammerhead cannabis seeds take 55-60 days to flower and can be harvested outdoors mid September. Thanks to it's high content in CBD, it has a great narcotic effect and muscle relaxant, an attribute that makes it excellent for some medicinal uses.

Sounds good!

:thumbsup: But I have no clue which to try first .. thinkin the auto's..
This time, they will be surrounded by 10k lumens from side lighting, and 6.5k lumens from the HPS above. Vents will be removed as well to prevent all shading.. There Will Be No Escape!

Also looking into smaller, 1.5 gallon tubs that are lower and can fit two separate autos.. I think its enough for two if they are true auto :wtf:

On a side note, This would happen to me :

"The Track and Trace application will be unavailable during weekend of 21st and 22nd August, due to planned maintenance. Normal service will be resumed before working hours on Monday 23rd August."

Plant on the left is showing pistils at all nodes. Top is beginning to produce a cola. Only thing is there arnt any roots yet..

Where I cut 45d angles at the stems, they have opened up with a root colored base looking like its healing.. so i assume its ok?

Only reason I ask is because they look to be putting on new growth and even pistils, and if i should wait for more profound roots before adding nutes?

clones are lookin more mature and can deff tell em apart. Hope its genes and not sex..
