Hey Bonez,

Thanks for the complements. I trully learned everything I know from these boards and Overgrow's FAQs.

Before these boards, I would have sworn that the best nutes for cannabis plants where Orchid nutes... I just wasn't informed at all.

As to the seltzer water... no idea. Sorry. Let's see if Rasta or somebody knows.

Update...

In the pic, you can see the girls. My favorite is the little one. But, I really doubt I'll take any clones off her... she's just growing too slow.

The other ones, I LSTed them on Wednesday (Day 43). I tied up the base of the stem, then tied the gardening wire to an upper part of the plant (stem). Then, being carefull not to 'snap' them, I pulled the wire, and there... they're bent.

What most impressed me was that, within 2 hours of being tied, the stem was already growing upwards! In less than 120 minutes the plant took measures because of its new situation... wow...

Today, I tightened the wires a little bit. I'm trying to get them not to grow that tall... Remember, I ain't going to flower these... these are the mothers. Problem was that my planned mother cab, is 12"x12" with a height of 24". And in those 24", it has to fit the pot (aprox 6"), and the CFL fixtures on top. So, that doesn't leave that much room for the mothers. So I tied them up. hoping they fit nicely in their cabinet (yet as un-built).

Secondary growth is coming along... but DAMN! I need to wait for the secondary growth, of THAT secondary growth so I can clone... this sucks. I should have started over way back in August.

Laters,
