First Grow From Clone

[Slevinkal]

Are they under those t-8's 18/6? :wtf:

What I see in the pic will require more light within the month.

I think the crappy auto focus/brightness adjust on my cam makes the pics look like hell. Any time I get close w the cam the light in the pics looks all sickly yellow and dim. Its not really like that. The pic from far back shows what the light really looks like.

Plus, I did a few little mods with white foam board and I added a little fan.

I guess I'll just see what the next few days brings.

canniwhatsis, I figured you'd be along for both rides. Thanks for all your help so far. :thumbsup:

A1 is developing some brownish marks around the edges of the fans but seems to be fine other that that. I'll start to worry in a few more days, I think its just from the potting.

A2 is just doin its thang...

Nothing major, just pic updates.

I got a lot of time on my hand now days since I got laid off on Monday and my new/older (used to work there bout a year ago) job wont be available until another week

So...
Taking pics of the girls before and after watering, 26 hour time span, seemed like a great idea.

I also clipped two fans during this time span, JIC nobody notices LOL



:wtf: idle hands......................

[canniwhatsis]

There was nothing wrong with the fans you clipped, tho the quicker growth is kinda cool, it stresses the plant not in a good way.

The new branches are exploding because those big fans you clipped aren't there to provide food anymore so it's got to make new fans NOW!!!! The plant will pull nutes and hormones from anywhere it has to to make new growth and survive.

I'm not a botanist, but I play one on the internet :jointsmile:


Just saying, if it's a potentially hermi prone strain, any little stress can kick that gene into action and make her go all Shemale on ya. Just some food for thought.


I gotta get back in my grow, clean up my mess, and take some pics to update my thread!

TTFN! :glugglug: CW

:jointsmile: I've thought it out pretty well actually...

I know all of this, bro

My figuring is this:
If it is a hermie prone strain the mother of these two would prob have hermie'd by now. Thats what I'm betting anyways.

I hoped but did not really think my first grow would be a success, but now I've got two fems pretty far into flower and two rooted and potted clones growing well.

Also, I watered and feed today to help add some backup for all the hard work the plant was gonna hafta do in the next two days. It's already used to the nute at the rate provided so I'm sure it'll eat it up and beg for more later.

Im sure plant A would have popped balls somewhere, considering all the stress, tweaks, changes, and fatal TLC, by now.

Im hoping that its not very hermie prone that way I can stress and shape, at an early age, to better suit my flowering arrangements and not cause as much stress during flowering when the plants are more prone to hermie from the stress in general anyways.

I know I'm taking a chance and I know I might pay a terrible price but the end result could very well be worth it

It's bag seed after all.....


Where'd the seed come from? :wtf:







You've done your homework and your well on your way! Honestly I don't think you'll have a problem, it's just not my stile if you get my drift.

:wtf: some good bag we had, like ya said.

IDK if its my style or not. It may fail horribly. It may not. I'm just usually more curious than cautious.

It would come in handy...

The male roots

Just to make sure I understand you correctly...you took DWC-started clones and transplanted them into soil...right?

If you don't mind me asking, why start them in DWC and then move them to soil? Why not just leave them in the DWC, or start the clones in rockwool or peat plugs, then plant them in spoil when roots appear?

Just curious is all...I'm still learning the basics.

Yes.

I don't mind at all.

I didn't want a DWC grow. I'm still green too and its easier and more forgiving than a hydro setup. I would have needed a ppm meter and a better pH meter plus hydro nutrients and all that brew ha-ha. I didn't want to deal with all of that considering this is only my second grow.

I didn't want to use rockwool or peat plugs either. I figured I'd have better success rates using a DWC so I gave it a shot. I tried to clone w/ soil at first and all but one clone made it, and it stayed stressed the whole time, ended up male too

Just curious is all...I'm still learning the basics.

No worries

I'm still learning too. But I can say that cloning with a DWC is way easier than using soil, IMO, cleaner too.

Ocotillos quote in my sig is a golden example here. Yes, it refers to answers but the speculum of this is the same for questions. There is no such thing as a stupid question! If the question furthers any ones knowledge then it was a very clever question indeed.

The only stupid question is the question never asked.

Point blank: Asking stupid questions helps one avoid stupid mistakes. :rastasmoke:

Here's the girls today.

They're growing diff than their mother did!

IDK if its better lights from the get-go, better soil, better temps, or just more exp now. Prob a combo of all of 'em.

Their leaves are shorter and fatter than the mothers.
