Good morning!!! I haven't posted since 12/22/10 and I noticed my thread has been getting alot of looks :thumbsup: and know everyone is wondering whats been going on. Well first I'll update you with the AK48 seeds:

#1- definite male (kept 2 clones)
#2- definite hermie (kept 2 clones)
#3- female/ slow veg. but looks good once blooming
#4- FEMALE/ super veg., super bloom, super plant
#5- male (kept 2 clones)
#6- female/possible hermie stretches alot in veg. and starts flowering quickly
#7- male (compost)

Now I'll update the clones purchased from the dispensary-
Northern lights#5xHaze:
1 clone is a huge mother took 15 clones 12/30/10
Other 2 clones are healthy but not as vigorous as the first one. I've pulled as many clones as I could and on 1/8/11, I put them into the bloom area.
Purple Bubba Kush:
2 are still dead and the 1 survivor is doing better (not by much)! Spoke with the dispensary where I purchased them. They felt bad for the loss of 2 clones, the stress on the other 4 and that bringing them in to the grow area has brought on a fungus gnat epidemic(proactively working on curing this and cutting down the infestation so it doesn't reach the bloom area!). So they hooked me up with some edibles and a few Cherry AK joints!! They wanted me to take some clones but I declined (my veg area is super cramped).

A couple significant things happened last week! First was I found out that AK48 #1 is/was a male . But on the other hand AK48 #4 is a female !! I thru out 8 pre-bloomers/clones of #1 which opened some space. 4 more AK48 pre-bloomers were moved into the bloom area, now totaling 8- AK48 clones in the bloom area. I've also moved the 2 smaller NL5XHaze clones to the bloom area. They are in dirt and I clipped as many clones off I could before putting them in there, I've been reading they may explode in size (maybe 3X's)! The clones I cut 12/30/10 have seen better days, after checking temps and Ph in EzCloner reservoir I forgot to turn pump back on twice ((1/2 hour-45 mins. max. each time) :stoned: stupid). Only 3 clones are showing roots but they're only 12 days old. Last batch, I took the few that didn't root and planted them into rockwool and all had root system in 3-5 days. I've also figured out the automation in the bloom area. Tray are in, reservoir is in place and drip system is plumbed (NO LEAKS!!!). The flowering plants are looking strong. I've now got them under the 600w HPS (the one I repaired) and they seem happy and comfortable. The 600 doesn't have any adjustment because of lack of room height(standard) and tray height, not much I can do about it now....

Well here's what you've been waiting for......THE PICTURES!!!

Veg area 12/30/10 before clones were taken.




Here are the clones that needed a bit more time, notice the roots (upper left corner); the clones in peat are NL Haze.


Bloom area! Sorry bout the color, finally figured what setting to put it on!!


Clones taken 12/30/10, 15- NLxHaze (L side), 15- AK48 #4(R side).


Bloomers- #1 is on the left in the middle....he's gone now!


The remaining 4 are about to be planted into 6"x6" containers, they're going into a tray 40"l x 13"w x 4"h, homemade recirculation drip system. Any opinions or suggestions are welcomed (better drip photos later).


Now ready for business!


Clones in Ez-Cloner

Miss Purple Bubba Kush.....looking better...but not by much....!


6 new pre-bloomers with older pre-bloomers. Notice the root systems from older clones!!!


Buds are forming nicely, Ph was a bit high (7.8) in this pic. Notice the dripper system.....off the main line I've got 1/4" barbed "T's" w/ 2GPH drippers at the end of drip line. Any suggestions!? I've got them watering at 15 min. intervals. The lights come on at 6pm, so the pump kicks on at 5pm and 6 pm, after that they kick on every hour and half til 6 am, then once at noon. They seem to like this schedule. I had the pump come on half as many times and they didn't like that. They were folded over looking thirsty, turned pump on and could actually watch them perk back up!!
