Weird looking clone

[kittencat]

I know it can be hard to sort through all the differing opinions, Jimdamick and macsnax are probably the two most experienced growers on this thread so you may wanna head their advice.

I’m very happy to receive advice from all of you, and will apply the different things I’m learning to this grow and future grows. Thanks so much for helping New Age United, Jimdamick, macsnax and all who have have commented on my thread. <3 Your help is very much appreciated. <3

 

[Jimdamick]

Yes I am an advocate for giving them 6 hrs rest aswell, it's only natural.

Plus you'll save energy and it's definitely important for the plants to transpire which only occurs during the dark period. 4 hours is sufficient, but I use 6 off personally.

No prob girl.
Hang around, read and learn, and have fun
Growing pot is a blast

I had her in 12 dark hours the first two weeks. And yes thank you, I definitely have to get the ph on track. I have a kit now so I can start testing. At first I didn’t realize how important the levels are, but now I’m thinking that was a issue with the clone and her mom. Thank you for your advice.

that's obviously a clone and not a seedling, so it's already sexually mature. it started to produce flowering hormones because of the lighting schedule you had it on, and now its in "reveg" where it has to work those hormones off before it can start normal growth again.
all that is required is some extra time and 16 hours or more of light a day.

Thanks. I’m definitely going to take your advice and the new clone I took from my 6 week old clone is getting 18/6. She’s over a week old now and Still alive so she must be rooting.

not necessarily, they can take up to three weeks to actually root. a little yellowing and fading is actually a good sign, it means the plant is using internal stores to do something...if it's in the right conditions, that something will be growing roots.wait till you see some new growth before you throw a clone into the veg lighting.

Thank you Roger. My newest week old clone is in the flowering tent off to the side and not directly under the light. I’ve been taking her out when I switch off the lights and give her 6 more hours of indirect light. Seems like she’s good so far. I’ll put her in the veg tent with my 6 week old clone when I see that she’s growing, probably another week or two. I appreciate your advice. Thanks so much for commenting on my thread.

Thanks Jim. Yes definitely going to hang around on this site and soak up all the good advice.
Even with all the challenges I’ve had growing, I’m still loving it. It’s just hands on experience I can take into future grows.
Got 4-6 weeks till my first harvest and two clonesHope all goes well.

That is the best way to learn imo, can't beat hands on experience.

Absolutely. Thanks macsnax.
Wanted to ask about my 6 week old clone having swollen nodes. Any chance you could let me know why this occurs? Thanks

 

[Dougnsalem]

Why re-veg?
That's not needed, and essentially makes an 8 week plant into a 15 week plant.
Oh, and your plant is a mutant, and that's just the way it is.
Your leaf structure will never change.
Good luck

Thanks for the reply, and info! (Same to you other posters too!) I don't want to steal the thread, but it sounds like I (kinda) just did what Kittencat did.

I started from seed in soil, and once it got big enough, I whacked it into thirds, and put the top two sections in an aero-cloner and flipped them to flower. Once I found out the plant was a female, I gave away the bottom to a friend. (I don't smoke-just give it away to family and friends). I let the middle section continue flowering....

And revegged the top to maybe grow over the winter. I'm new to all of this, and it's actually let me see how the plants want different nutrients for flower/veg.. (Like frying the one above. Lol)

Anyways, that's why the reveg. Just doing it for fun, and trying to learn what works best for me.

 

[Jimdamick]

I whacked it into thirds,

Next time don't "whack it"
Just let it grow until you have 7 set's of good branches, take the lower 4, and clone those.
This way you will get 5 good plants from 1 plant, and all should be good.
You'll be happy, your plants will be happy, and your friends also

That's more than likely genetics or its been injured. But it looks to be at most of the nodes, I would say it's genetic.

Thanks much for the tip! I'll give that a try next time.

Yes most of the nodes are very swollen. She hasn’t had any injuries. Alright probably genetics. I’m not going to stress over it. She seems healthy, I just need to get her nutes and ph right and keep an eye on her. Thanks for replying.

 

[neosapien]

Yeah, you just made all the same rookie mistakes we all made our first times. Overfertilized, didn't check ph, didn't get on a healthy light schedule. Fix those things, which sounds like you did, and it'll do just fine.

 

[HazednConfused]

Absolutely. Thanks macsnax.

Swollen nodes means nothing, if you're talking about where the branches meet the main stem. That's just your plant bulking up those joints to support later bud growth.

I put my homemade scrog net that I can adjust in the mini tent. My clone is 6 weeks old today. I had to clean the tent out and treat the clone for spider mites, she only had a few that I saw but glad I caught it before she got infested.
My other plant will be 5 full weeks of flowering tomorrow since switching. She’s looking real haggard, but still making buds. I’d be surprised if I got an ounce out of her. Being my first grow I made a lot of mistakes but learned some things that will help with growing my clone.
I watched some videos on scrogging, I’m hoping I do ok with it.
I finally ordered a digital ph meter because the up down test kit I had wasn’t giving me accurate readings, think that’s why my plants have the claw leaves. Think I’m getting better at giving the nutes though, haven’t burned the plant in awhile.
Also ordered a jewelers loop so I can see the trichomes on my flowering plant.
I’ll post some pics of the clone when I get her setup in the scrog.

I used a loop for my first grow and it was just ok.

The next grow a USB Microscope was used. The difference is obvious and a USB microscope
allows for photos too.

My photography skills leave much to be desired but the Mscope worked well.


It is worth the investment for the comfort of not having to bend over to get a good view alone.

I like it and recommend it to family and friends.

Thanks for the link loki. Thinking I like that one. Gonna go take a look at it right now.
Very much appreciated

I canceled the jewelers loop and ordered the one you recommended. I really like it and for 20 bucks, heck yeah. Thanks again loki. I appreciate the help.
