I took about a dozen cuttings. This was my first attempt to clone. Most cuttings looked nice, but on second look, one I took from the bottom of a random plant looked a little stretchy and weak (I don't know how to describe it). I stuck it in the Jiffy pot with coco anyway. Its been a week...

I have an indoor grow using clones of standard strains. I have 9 more plants I'm allowed to grow so I thought about growing some autos outside. Because I'd rather not keep paying the high prices of seeds, I was going to let my first auto grow go to seed--because of my indoor grow I don't need...

I have a heating pad. I will try that on low for sure. I don't have any rep that I can tell. That's weird.

Well I'm using Jiffy 3" pots...is that the same as jiffy pellets?

I have been buying packs of 10 clones. I decided I need to try to save money and make my own. I've been reading all around and this is what I came up with: -48" Shop light with 2, 32 W 6500K florescent bulbs. -Clear plastic tote from Walmart turned upside down to act as a humidity dome...with...

My clones showed sex almost immediately. Why would you wait until they look dead?

Ok, thanks for letting me know. I will harvest riper colas and manicure and hang them, then I will harvest the rest of the plant. I get the feeling that this isn't exactly rocket science...but I've been told it can take like a week for 1 person to break down a pound. With 9 plants and...

so can I just cut off branches and hang them individually? Or should I harvest the entire plant? Gastanker, you suggested I harvest in intervals. I have 9 plants, so I could harvest whole plants in different intervals. Or I can cut off branches with buds. That is a clearer picture...do you...

On Christmas Eve my plants will have been on 12/12 lights for 65 days, or about 9 weeks. I have a sativa hybrid and an Indica hybrid. I'm not exactly sure what I"m looking for. I have a 30x loupe and a 60x-100x microscope. I'm looking on the buds...the crystals look white on the 30x...I haven't...

Clonex--that is an awesome Idea...as soon as the lights come on at 6PM I will put something under the short ones to bring them closer to the light...that's brilliant. Here I was trying to make the tall plants shorter...it didn't occur to me to make them higher. Next grow for sure I'm going...

Its my first grow. I wanted to experiment with some of the techniques, but I never got around to it. Now 5 of my plants are sativa dominant and are reaching for the stars with little side branching. I want to know if I can bend them toward the pot now that I've been on 12/12 for 3 weeks...

A few of my plants seem to grow at an angle. They are around 18 inches tall. Some plants are growing straight up, some are growing at a slight angle. I added a 48" tower fan on low pointed at the wall but oscillating to add some light wind....The plants never straightened up. I turned them...

I have some plants. I flipped them to 12/12 twelve days ago. I keep looking for some indication of sex. I bought them as "hopefully" female clones. I see all these delicate protrusion thicker than hair at all the nodes of the plants. I honestly have no idea what I'm looking for or at. I...

Wow--thanks Phil, that's a great way to look at things. I am going to really focus to do the best job I can regardless of what strain it is.

Point well taken. If I want good genetics, start with seeds. I'm afraid I might have a couple 209 kush type strains that I thought were the highly prized Skywalker OG from LA. Live and learn!

I am guilty! I am counting my chickens before they hatch. I kind of know it too. I agree with you guys...just surviving my first grow is important enough...I might as well have saved the $100 and went straight for bag seed and CFL's in order to learn. Instead I have dumped around $2000 into...

At the end of September I ordered 5 Pineapple Express and 5 Skywalker clones. In October I planted them and they are growing great. However, yesterday I met with my supplier because he had a crop from the same cloned plants mine came from. It turns out that he made a mistake. The clones...

That's awesome! I can't wait for all the gifts either!

LOL...I beg to differ! I will look at them after a few hours and can see they have grown. Each day they look different. I feel I am watching them grow...its definatly more productive than watching water boil--

Thanks for the tips. I think I"ll pass on the green light. I don't go to bed till 11 pm or 12 pm so I have 5 or 6 hours to mess with them. I'll be honest...its about a great love story. These are my first plants and I love them. During the day I think about them all the time. I only wish...
