First grow.... In about 10 years!

[thermite]

The clones are pictured in my last post. Still growing but slowly. The seeds I've planted were just for the heck of it. I'll pass them on or leave them out in the wild.

Another little update and some advice needed if anybody could help? It's now almost two weeks since the clones have been planted. One of them (in the rockwool) doesn't look like it's getting very far. The other (in the all-mix) looks to have made better progress. I've got a couple of the Haze seedling sprouted now. My question is, should all of these still be in my propagator with a lid over them or can any of them be directly under the light now? I've got one 125w 6500k CFL running 18/6 and it's about 1' above the propagator lid, just close enough to keep them a little warm.

By the way, I could see a little bit of root near the surface of the soil on the healthier looking clone so it's definitely taken to the soil but to what extent, I don't know.

Any ideas? I've moved the light to about 6" now and decided to remove the propagator lid. Please somebody tell me if this is a mistake.

I decided that leaving the propagator lid off this early was probably not a good idea. Especially as it's cold and windy at the moment and my indoor temperature can get quite a bit lower at night (15-16c) Humidity is struggling to stay above 30% in my grow closet as well. The seedlings are looking ok but the clones appeared to have stopped in their tracks and started looking a little pale. I decided I'd try to do something as they were looking a little worse each day.
I've very gently uprooted the better looking clone from the soil (Biobiz All-Mix) possibly too much for the little clone to handle at this stage. As you can see in the picture, it's developed some nice little roots all round the stem immediately below the surface. I decided to spray off the excess soil with some 5.5 ph water and I've now soaked a new peat pellet in some plain 5.5 ph water and gently re-planted it. I've done the same for the clone which was in the rock wool. This didn't have as much root development but it had made some progress. I've either completely screwed them now or given them another chance. If they do take off now, they'll either be really tough little plants after what they've been through or they'll be totally screwed up! If anyone has anything to add or suggest please chime in. I could do with some encouragement :thumbsup:

A little update... My seedlings are doing well and I've added another 2 Cheese to the grow as well. Thought I'd just post a pic of the largest 'Amnesia Haze' seedling... I'm not certain if it is AH as the source of these seeds may have been unreliable. I was under the impression that AH was a sativa dominant strain, the leaves on this look really broad and it's growing quite squat under my 125W CFL Rich, you've grown AH right? What do you think?

An update on the WW clones... The one I replanted and looked the strongest didn't make it. The weaker looking one which looked like it had died has bounced back. I've transplanted this now and it's doing well. A month old and it's just starting to take off. I'm going to make a Mother of this one and hopefully do a SOG grow with as many clones as I can later in the year.

Just over a month on so another update if anyone's interested...

That little WW clone recovered and took off nicely. It's become a nice healthy plant with three main tops instead of just one. I ended up with six plants I transplanted into 5 litre pots about 10 days ago now and switched to 12/12 on the 14th March. Of the six plants, I discovered just one Male which I pulled out yesterday. I now have 5 definite females all showing Pistils after just 8 days of 12/12 I have what I believe to be 1 x WW, 2 x Cheese and 2 x (Possibly) Amnesia Haze. I'm not familiar with the characteristics of each of these plants so I can't be certain (Other than the WW clone obviously) so any input from anyone else would be cool. It's getting a bit crowded in there with the 5 I only really wanted to have 2 or 3 max so I could make up a scrog within the first couple of weeks of flower. I might just pull out what I believe is supposed to be the AH ones as if they are AH, I don't want to be flowering for up to 13 weeks and apparently they can get massive. Here are a few pics...

3 weeks into 12/12 today. I've added a makeshift scrog. A little late, I know but training the main tops over and to the side and rear of the grow space has let more light down to the lower nodes, some of them have hit the screen too and a few more should too in a few days so I can organise the tops a little more. I've also just added 2 20w CFL's to the front of the cupboard where there wasn't as much light. Makes a big difference and these little bulbs really pack a punch! The four plants have now been transplanted into an Atami Wilma 4 pot system with 11 litre pots. I wanted to go hydro eventually so I thought I'd buy this system early and just use it so I can water in place and let the water/solution drain into the base and then discard the run off. I've still just been feeding minimal amounts of nutes every other water. Any comments on that?
All going nicely so far! Let me know what you guys think.
