Harv's first grow

[Harvesthetic]

yummmmmm i can almost smell that through my moniter.
could i use my grandma as a chick would that count? lol

haha for the sake of humanity, don't use yer granny
BUK, i'm gonna include a naked chick when my ScrOG shows some bud Hopefully i can enter twice.

So first grow is now a substantial grow.. As said earlier, Clone 1 (pic 1&2) is in its last period of flowering, hairs now slowly turning into shades of brown and red. The bud expanded beyond my expectations. It's gotten pretty big, so i'm going to hold the harvest, since it's still fattening up, and adding snow to the leaves.

But... Due to events I will not be able to clarify a friend of mine needed to get rid of some 'foliage'. I went over and helped him out, and put three OTHER clones of the same family (wh w) in my imaginative growroom. They are already in week two of flowering, so i'll post their progress too along with the rest.

Clone 2 used to be very ill. It was really almost dead, until one day, as a last resort, i tried my own nutrientmix on it, overnight the plant revived and the day after recovery could begin. To my own surprise, the plant is budding like it should, showing no signs of stress, apart from yellow edges that remain from the near-death experience. (pics later)

MATERIAL UPDATE ~~ rejoicing allowed!

-I finally got my veg lights!! pic 5 A triple Philips TL 230v in a self-constructed case. I also have a veg room now..
-A Carbon Filter!! pic 4 Dirt cheap, not going to tell the price or the americans are going to get mad again.
-50 litres of supergood, pH6-straight water with no chance of any disbalance whatsoever. EC-checked and great for mixing and absorption of nutrients. My first grows have taught me the importance of water.
-An exhaust fan: standard bathoom exhaust, with timer & hygro function, very useful.
-some essential tools, hammer, nails, glue
-magnifying glass can't resist watching them babies upclose

If you have any suggestions or comments that would be appreciated. seeds: -bought four Easy Bud seeds from FemaleSeeds. they seemed perfect for a first try. -had the privilege to grow an imported Tibetan/Bhutanese seed straight from the source i believe In ancient times, at the beginning of His-story, "Gan-Jah" ("Birth of Yah", in the Indo-European Proto language) took place in Rating: 5

Damn good I love it... So those pix are of the WW

jup

[Harvesthetic]

little clarification maybe, since the situation changed nearly every week.
so 1 Clone.1: Seven weeks in flowering, one/half week to go.
Clone.2: Three weeks in flowering, approx six weeks to go.
3 new plants: two weeks in flowering, approx seven weeks to go.

so those are five plants that i can harvest within seven weeks
And the new bunch, 15 brand new white widow clones, ready for perpetual harvest , and the four clones in the scrog of course.
This adds up to... 24 plants already. Funny how the world turns.

Whow I really really really need a clone cab.. so whats ur process for he cloning

Actually it's a kinda rough process, the way we do it. :S
We don't really do it clinically perfect. We've taken a lot of clones over the years. When we do clone, be really sure to sterilize/thoroughly clean your pair of scissors. You don't want toe clippings to touch the plants, no?
We took the test. 20 clones with dirty shears, 20 with clean shears.

Out of the first twenty, we were able to grow 14 of them. The other six obviously had some sort of reaction on the dirty shears. Not that much rooting going on, and generally stunted growth and a decrease in photosynthesis.

The latter twenty were all good, and we only lost 1 due to dipping it too long in the rooting compound/hormone.

So, we've got the clones now, dipped in hormone, inserted in a rockwool environment, where we keep them for about five days really close under the veg lights. Be sure to leave them in the dark for at least six hours per day. They need the darkness to be able to root. Keep them in a very humid, 28° Celsius environment.
Keep them wet all the time, you may use weak leafage nutrients. (maxxximum leaf feed, or plagron phyt-amin, or whatever you can find.)
We feed them on a straight 6.2 pH water solution, with a bit of root stimulator. *be sure your clones are in a clean, warm environment. a clone cabinet comes in handy, but isn't really necessary, imho*

After those five days, repot into half 2- litre bottles, and again keep them humid, but up the root stimulator. After that, you're ready to veg & roll.

Really, we've tried nearly everything for treating clones. And this method has proven to be the most effective, at least for us. Keep it a bit simple.
Oh yeah, and always take five more clones than you need just to be on the safe side.

greetings, harv

In case you were wondering, my mate used rooting powder on that first pic :stoned: my bad sry. The other ones are dipped in fluid though.

Nice so which one works better the 1st pic with the rockwool cubes or the bottle pic? nice job

[Harvesthetic]

first five days rooting in rockwool cubes, then repot, with small rockwool cube into a perlite/soil mix. preferably wrapped in thermal foil, but aluminium works fine for me

OH OK GOT it Thanks So how long you been growing cause I thought this was you 1st grow?
