Good job so far with your grow. Who is the manufacture of your lights?

Hi TheCheese,

The lights I have were designed by a friend of mine. He orders them from overseas based on the schematic. We still believe that the best use of LED also involves support lights. Specifically I use 6500k florescent lights in veg for better root growth and broad spectrum white overlay. I then use a combination of quad-band Veg led lights and dual-band flower led lights. Lastly I use 156 watts of UVB in flowering to encourage higher THC production.

So as OG Larry continues to flower it is nice to be able to note that my clone has rooted and is showing new growth. I am very happy because this is my first attempt to make clones in order to continue the strain. I hope to continue learning quickly and move directly towards a long term bonsai-mother type of scheme in order to maintain my strains.

The main reason for the bonsai-mother is of course to keep the plant count down. The limits are pretty strict here. I hope to have five strains available on this plant. Whenever I am ready to start a new clone, I will just take a cutting of the strain of my choice.

I also picked up a new plant. This is a 707 Headband clone, 4th gen, that was about 12 to 16 inches and in flowering. I am immediately reverting it into veg and have begun training it into a spiral. I will post some pics at some point so you can see how I am training this sativa. The goal is to create a small bushed sativa instead of a tall one. I have given it about 6 gallons of soilless mix in a pot as I intend to grow this plant fairly large.

OG Larry is truly a beast! I have transplanted from a 5 gallon to a 15 gallon last Sunday. The plant is so large already; I can only imagine what the next 45 days of flower will bring!

The stem is insanely thick. All of the little bud points are covered in white hairs and I see trichomes appearing on the bud leaves and all around the flowers themselves.

:thumbsup:

2 words *pictures please!* lol wow 15 gallon pot he must be a beast now
I had a go at bonsai- ing my girl a couple of weeks ago. It was quite nerve wracking making the first cuts on her roots but afterwards she never looked back and now looks better than ever. Its a very handy method to learn I think when keeping a mum/mum's.

Root trimming is almost a necessary skill to pick up when dealing with small potted plants. The ability to control the overall plant size is quite helpful.

I had posted several posts that got lost in the forum update. Been to lazy to repost.

These are all photos coving a period of time before the transplant to 15 gallons.

This is not my plant, but I thought I would share. The plant has been transplanted to the outdoors and is mite infested. Makes me so sad! I gave her AzaMax so hopefully that helps.
