Diary - Top 44 Clones

[faithlessxxx]

.

Diaries - everyone's doing them, so here's mine!
15 days old.
I got off to a bad start with these 3 Top 44 clones.

I recieved them about a week old. I was gentle with them the first night, but on the second and third day I exposed them to too much light, burned them and they wilted like my dick after watching too much Nicollette Sheridan.
I've grown from bagseed before and they were much more robust and sturdier than clones, so I was a little clumsy with them.

Where I screwed up though, was getting a little panicky and flushing the hell out of them, just in case the nutes in the new soil were too strong as well.
Now, that all sounds reasonable so far, I think most would agree.
My noobie mistake was not realizing that those tiny little clones couldn't possibly suck up all the water in the soil for roughly a week, during which time I saw that they were in fact beginning to become starved from nutes.

Anyway, finally managed to get them growing again, and their top growth looks great, though the lower growth is yellow.
Going to repot them into 2 gallons once theyre about a healthy foot, clone 5 new cuttings then bloom this quickly as a not all that successful attempt that still should yeild a couple of ounces just around x-mas if I really rush it.
The clones get to do the full cycle instead and veg longer.

1 * 250 HPS, 2 * 20W 3 000k CFL's, will add more when I see I need them. Lights 24/7.
Between 23 - 27C. Room is matte white, flooring is white PVC. Area is 1.4m * 1.2 * 4.5m

Anyone who happems to drop by this thread think I can do 5 plants under 250HPS and 80 watts of CFL?

With that light I wouldn't veg them too long But yeah you can grow them with that what size space you have? I wouldn't go past about 3' square sog 1 plant per sq ft would be 9 plants max

A circle, lol. I did an "S" :rasta:

I'm really surprised anyone bothered posting in this boring old thread, thanks for the tips and chat. They're coming along fine, could almost clone the biggest one - maybe in a week. I'll post more pics soon imp:

Or I'll post a couple more now, 2 days later, cos I'm bored.
Still a bit skinny but the tops are full of life.

19 days, LST'd gently half an hour ago, misted and rested for half an hour before going back under the lights.
Will increase LST carefully each day.

Decided to LST after all, because due to the initial probs, the lower growth, whilst sprouting quite a bit, are small leaves and far behind the main stem.

Taking Buddyloves advice that Top 44 won't grow much when flowering, I want to make them bushier in veg for more budsites, before flowering, which I want to sooner than I should (X-mas coming up!!!).

So, cloning next week so I have 5-6 girls, then flowering the mothers in 2-3 weeks (Top 44 are one of the fastest bloomers)

(Must get a better camera :upsidedow)

ive started lsting my 5 44s on monday gettin em ready for a scrog when the flower rooms freed up, the other 2 i grew didnt have many side branches but i only veged to 14" and they had no side branches untill i put em in 12/12 this time im gonna veg till they r 2-3' horizontally and covering a 4'x4' screen
3 of the little fellas have already sprouted a few sydys once i bent em 90 so fingers crossed theyll be a good scrog

pics to follow:thumbsup:

Wow, I didn't realize you were doing 44 too!
I just realized that I can begin flowering in a week, they're about 10" already, they just need to branch out more lower down, so I'm knocked out about that! :rasta: I'll jsut about make xmas!!!

I'd love to see your pics too.

Tell me, do you know why noone ever talks about cloning fan leaves?

but i only veged to 14"

Hmmm, and you felt they were too small at that size?
