First grow, stealth style

[cedarghost]

Here are the clones
Sativa

Indica

I'm going to veg these a couple more weeks, hopefully they will be ready to take clones by then, else I will take clones a couple weeks into flower.

 

[cedarghost]

When should I top or fim these?

 

[cedarghost]

Well, I have decided to mainline two of my three clones. They are currently topped for 4 nodes and I will be doing 8 total. In the meantime, my sativa is coming along nicely:


And the indica isn't doing too shabby either.

The third plant appears to be sativa dominant as well. Hopefully it doesn't stretch like the leggy girl in the front of my cab. She is stealing space from the other plants and I can't move my scrog screen. I'm guessing I have 3 or 4 more weeks on the indica and who knows how long on the sativa. Could be as long as 5 to 6 weeks or more. They have been 12/12 for 38 days, but are in their 5th week of flower.
Everyone says cfl makes fluffy nugs, but these are pretty heavy and dense. I am going hempy next grow to compare to soil, then I will probably try hps to compare lighting.

The brown tips taught me not to foliage feed when the lights are on......

Good to see an update ghost. I would love to get the yield the scrog offers but I do enjoy being able to manipulate the individual pots. Easier to get the right amount of light to the right lady. Would be a great way to grow my Blue Cheese but it would mess with the flow in my box.

 

[cedarghost]

You pinpointed the biggest problem I have with the scrog setup. I can't move plants much anymore and am stuck moving just the lights. I am in the process of mainlining two of my clones (I will try to get pics up tomorrow) so I don't have to scrog my next grow. Plus I want to try new things until I find what works best for me. I'll be running hempy on the next batch of clones and I'm sure I will eventually try HPS or LED too.

Here are the clones. Topped for 4 mains. Well, the last one isn't and the second one is a clone taken while the mother was in flower, because I read that can produce some weird looking plants and I wanted to see it first hand. lol...... After I top for 8 I will veg them a week or two then flip to 12/12.



They were pretty thirsty, if you couldn't tell from the pics!

Them are some nice clones you have there. Hope they grow fat and frosty for you.

Thanks man, me too! First time cloning, so I'm pretty happy about it. I did notice in my second clone (middle pic), it looks like I may end up with 7 mains instead of 8 when I top again. This is the one that was taken from the flowering mother, so the nodes aren't very even on both sides. Any way it goes, it's free meds!

 

[cedarghost]

I can't believe I am going to make it to harvest! Here's an update. The girls are doing well. I think the first one will be ready in two to three weeks. Then I will have another plant ready a couple weeks later and I don't know how long the sativa will be. She is a wild child. I am going to transplant 2 of my clones to hempy buckets and keep one to cut more clones from. As soon as I get two plants harvested I will be throwing my NL auto in my veg box. Anyway, here are some pics.


And the clones. The two mainlined ones will be going into flower within a few weeks!
Damned sativa mainline outgrew the pot.....

And here is the indica

 

[cedarghost]

I have learned a TON on this grow, and even though it looks like I will get a decent harvest, I KNOW I can do better next time. That's one reason I am going to hempies. I will be using GH Flora Nova Grow and Bloom to feed, and I just got a bottle of cal/mag in today that I need to use now on one of these three plants.

 

[cedarghost]

Treated for cal/mag today and I think I will go to straight water from here on out. I think the soil is still hot enough and adding Bloom Buster gave me nute burn.

 

[cedarghost]

Forgot to mention, I replaced some of the 14 watt 2700ks with 40 watt 2700k's so now I am at 300 watts of cfl lovin'....That should be perfect for a 2 to 3 plant rotation. I can't wait to see what they do in hempies instead of MG....lol

 

[kushdaddy1980]

ive seen so many good grows go wrong because of nute burn lately, i even did it myself lol i think our problem is we think that the nutes being stronger is gonna make the plant grow faster..ill be the first to admit that were wrong. when i set my ppms to 1300 that was about twice what i should have been putting in it and 600 is perfect concentration for most any plant in any stage..even though i start low at about 450, but im finding out that less is better..i replace the water as it evaporates and thins the solution out to eventually just water as the plant uses it up. we cant force the plant to suck up more juice they do what they want lol.

 

[cedarghost]

I messed up because I forgot that i added new pre-nute soil when I transplanted the last time, then hit them with liquid nutes. Dumb...

Yeah I almost caught myself doing this very thing. I got all these grows going and I'm learning how to keep up. Mostly I let the ladies tell me whats what.

That's a good policy. Now if I can more proactive instead of reactive I will be in good shape.

And, that my friend is why I've got all these grows going. The quicker we can face down these problems the more experienced we are for the next grow.

Its those "ah moments " when you're blazed up.

 

[cedarghost]

Found a few seeds on the plant that is closest to harvest. I had to remove a hermie a few weeks ago. Hope it didn't pollinate too much! Guess I will find out soon!
