Yep I don't think I will veg her for much longer then 4 weeks this time either.. The Wonder Woman turned out perfect and she was around 5-6 so idk..

Good news, she looked like she was getting ready to pop the root earlier when I looked at her. I figured I'd give her till tomorrow and throw her in a rockwool cube.. Either that or straight in the dirt.
Arrgghh, I'm so inexperienced with cloning. All I know is my friend used to do it hydroponically in cups with nothing but vermiculite after dipping the clone in superthrive rooting solution. His shit worked awesome for him, but I've never tried it. The few clones I've tried in dirt just wouldn't really take root.

Yea I've heard its harder in dirt. Thats why I went with rockwool cubes and jiffy pelets. Once they get some roots that are at least as long as the plants I will move them to soil :)

Oh and I'll be working on the udated pictures soon, stay tuned!!

the plants look great dude, it's nice to see so many people getting such good results with simple equipment. I'll be following this, kind of cool that we're at similar points too :)

i did mine in the jiffy peat pellets and they work great. they might look a little goofy, but it did work. i just dont want them tho, LoL. they went into the soil at 9 days, there 36 days old now. the peat pellets have like a real thin mesh once expanded, i made a bunch of slits/cuts in them to make sure the roots could get out. i used schultz take root powder on them.

Thanks Payday, glad to have you!

There's a couple others in here with some really nice cfl grows around the same age as ours aswell:)

Its funny how that happens, I want mine to live sooo bad and you don't want yours and look at them lol..

Look at it this way, when you get some genetics you don't want to let go, you already have the knowledge and confidence of cloning!! Something I'm still working on :)

Do you just not want them cuz they are clones of molly & not of 2-1?

Ya I know there were better ways to do it than the way I tried it but my resources were very limited at the time.

yes true, im glad i did it, good to know i can do it.

yes, i dont want them cause there from molly, the weed kinda sucks, LoL. there just wasnt anything to take from 2-1 for clones, just 1 big stalk. there are no branches. i will post pics when i pick her of whats left, in my thread.

Yea I hear you! I'm fortunate to have what I have and I'm still wondering if they will make it lol..

I wish you did too!! That girl is healthy!!


Oh the Kandy Kush germed!!:clap:

I poped her in rockwool and put her under the lights, lets see what she does:joint:

thats what im talkin about!! thats what i want mine to look like, LoL. awesome job treeZ, very nice.
Thanks CD!!!! Its been a long journey but its starting to pay off!! I'm guessing the SR will be closer to 8 weeks flowering rather than 6 if she just started her 5th week, sound right?

So how many watts you running now Smelly? That wonder woman is looking nice, it looks a lot like my northern lights. Very similar leaf color and shape.

Lets see, 2x68w 2700k cfl's (but mostly over the SR)

Was 4x23w 2700k but I broke one lol.. Replacing with 42w 2700k

And 2-27w 5500k's that I used for veg earlier on

So It was 282 total true watts and it will be very soon 301 total watts. I was thinking of adding a few more but I think I might stick to 300 and see what I can do with that even though the SR is so damn big lol.. I'm hoping the SR will be finished somewhere around 2 weeks before the wonderwoman so she can hog up all 300 watts lol..

Your right, absolutely everything about this wonderwoman seems great so far. That just makes me want to try the northern lights even more now :) I'm doing my best not to burn the very tips of the leaves because she is so damn pretty now lol.. Have to keep the cfl's close for those buds though!! I love
the thick leaf shape and color. btw you where right, it was the perfect time for her to go into flowering!:weed:

In my next grow I will keep them under control, topped/lst'd and most importantly, healthy!

Did I mention the Kandy Kush has poped and shes in her rockwool! I'll remind you guys in a few weeks when she starts to grow and I make a new thread :)

I picked up some ONA gel and I must say, this stuff works! Rombomb you have to grab some of this if your still having odor problems! It was starting to get pretty potent so I had to do something :) I poped it open and poured half into a bowl and almost instantly the smell went away.

On a side note, the WW clones are looking rough but I'm not giving up on them..

I just measured the girls and fed them full strength nutes.

-ShortRider/3.5 ft With, 29 days/flowering & 10week veg/outdoor

-WonderWoman/2ft With, 19 days/flowering & 5-6week veg/ Under, 2x27w 5500k cfl's

Do you guys think I should go stronger on the tiger bloom at least with the short rider since she is huge? I've been using 2teaspoons like the FF feeding chart recommends but I feel I could be feeding both of them more? I was thinking of increasing it to at least 3 teaspoons and using that on the SR first and see how she reacts..?? +Rep if I can to any suggestions!
