1st time Grower, would appreciate any tips and comments!

Looking good, they're gonna start filling out soon by the looks of it. God to see you got the next generation ready, Though you got a few weeks left till you can flower the new ones, I would recommend topping all of the shoots that look like they will get over 15" above the soil, topping will slow them down more than LSTing. Try keep all the new plants under 15" before you start flowering, so they don't get out of control. Plus all that topping will give you a great canopy for the next harvest. You can probably start flowering them in 2-3 weeks, by then alot of the sun leaves will have fallen of the other flowering plants, and you should be able to squeeze the new ones in between the rest of them. Plus topping those plants will give you loads of new cuttings for the round after. Be sure to do all your repotting asap, so they don't go into flower whilst under stress.

Thanks guys!

As to answer about the Co2, I was actually going to get a Co2 regulator and tank and create a misting system to spray down on top of plants on a timer at night but got the different strains and second rack instead. I will be getting the Co2 system in about a month. I will be introducing Co2 on my 2nd grow with a Casey Jones plant again to see the difference. I'm also putting a Casey Jones in Grodan cubes to see the difference as well.

Hydrofarm Clippers (curved blade great for FIM technique) "ALWAYS CLEAN WITH ALCOHOL AFTER EVERY USE TO KEEP BLADES CLEAN!"


Flower room week 6


Alaskan Thunder Fuck cuttings, took some Headband 707 too, will update tomorrow.

NEW TECHNIQUE: I made my own hole to put the cutting in instead of the pre-made one. I made mine smaller and a little longer to hold the cuttings better. Working great so far!


NEW TECHNIQUE: Groden 2" rockwool cubes soaked in ph'd water (6) and Humboldt Nutrients Myco Madness added to water to soak in cubes.
(First try with Myco as a test to see if it improves root growth in cuttings)
(Definately works with the older ladies!)


Happy New Years everyone!

Buds starting to fill out i see! Looking forward to seeing what weights you get!
Btw, in future, cut the cuttings with a 45 degree cut, this gives more surface area for the cuttings to suck up water until the roots grow, and will give u a much higher survival rate and they will grow faster. Also, idk if you did, but you should use rooting hormone gell or powder. It makes them root faster, and protects them from rot and mould.

Hello everyone, sorry i've been busy again. Here are some updated pics!

I got a USB magnifying glass at Toys R' Us instead of a hand held scope. It was $30 dollars and it takes snapshots and video. It was fun playing with it, I felt like I was 10 again.

Casey Jones, getting really frosty, less than 2 weeks away! I think I'm going to wait til the trichomes get 50-70% milky white, then I will cut!


The Flower Room, I love how everytime I move them around the smell is getting better and better!


The Ladies Veg Room, all are doing great. Blueberry is very picky and is the most work out of all of them. Loves Nitrogen, next watering I'm going to use a 1/3 more of some of the Botnicare Nutrients to see the difference. My Big Bud clone didn't do so well, we'll see how she pulls out. I got to say the Alaskan Thunder Fuck and Headband 707 are the easiest to grow so far. ATF grows very fast, faster than the rest of them!


Grand Daddy Purple, about 10 days away!

These are the newest addition to the family, Chemdawg Sis cuttings!

Still using the same technique as before, soak cubes in RO water ph'd at 5 with Humboldt Nutrients Myco Madness.
Make my own hole in the cube and use thin coat of Rootech. I cut at 45 degree angle and use clean cutting tools. REMEMBER ALWAYS CLEAN TOOLS WITH RUBBING ALCOHOL AFTER EVERY USE!




This one is a Casey Jones I cut a couple of weeks ago and transplanted from a 2" cube to 4" instead of soil. So far working Really GOOD!


Any tips and comments appreciated! Thanks again everyone!

You shutting down the flower room after you harvest these? Or you moving the next batch right in? You probably covered that, but it's a lot to read haha.

You using a bloom booster, PK 13/14, or something yet? Looks like they will need it very soon. Clones are looking good, try pulling down some of the tallest shoots with some wore attached to the pots, to get as even a canopy as possible. This will get a bit more light to the lower branches too.

Thanks Purplekrunchie for following along! +rep I got the next set ready to go, today I put in my Headband 707 teen, I got 8 cuttings off of her so I'll keep one for a mother and flower the rest. The next round will be ATF, Headband 707, Chemdawg Sister, and for the fourth I'm not sure which strain I will use. I started LST training with bamboo sticks for the Headband 707, I will update with some new pics later.

Thanks Captain Jaz, +rep for all your support. I'm currently using for my bloom booster (Botnicare Hydroplex, Advanced Nutrients Liquid CarboLoad) along with my regular mix of other Botnicare fertalizers and supplements. I would have bought Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy instead of the CarboLoad but it wasn't at my favorite hydro store at the time of purchase.

Thanks again guys, coming to the end in a couple of weeks!

I decided to cut a little bud off of one of the lower branches so I could put it under the scope. What do you guys think as far as the trichomes.

Have they swelled up a lot? I have never used a scope, I use visual clues, and the first one is the swell. But also keep in mind, the lower buds often ripen later than the tops, so if you go by the trichs, you should look up top, where you most likely have the majority of the nug. How many days are you from the flip to 12/12?

Thanks Purplekrunchie! It's only been 42 days since 12/12, I know that the usual flower time for Casey Jones is 8-10 weeks and the same for Grand Daddy Purple. The trichomes look cloudy, but the buds on top still have 80-90 percent white hairs still and the GDP has about 50 percent orange hairs and 50 percent white. I don't mind waiting but I would like to harvest when the trichomes are more on the milky side than amber. I would say on the Casey Jones, the lower buds have more orange hairs while the top is still mostly white hairs. Is that normal?

As soon as it gets where you want it and those calyxes swell up, you can take it. Once they get filled up with all those yummy oils, you have your good yield, at that time it's like a bag of microwave popcorn. You want to have the majority where you want it, but you don't want the bulk of it to go too far. Keep in mind new flowers will always be growing, so you will harvest with new growth, but like I said, as long as the bulk of the old growth is ready, than you roll.

Hey everyone, thanks again for all the help!
+rep Purplekrunchie, you've been a great help. Wish I could enjoy this with everyone when I'm done!

The Headband 707 already grew about 5-6" since I added her in the flower room. I thought it would be good to put one in with a 2 week start than the next round, I will add another after another 2 weeks and try to start a perpetual cycle. Alaskan Thunder Fuck and Chemdawg 3 next for sure!

The Grand Daddy and biggest Casey Jones lady side by side



Grand Daddy Purple, she just started turning purple 2 days ago!


Casey Jones, I had to add bamboo sticks the last 2 days, I can't complain!


Headband 707, growing nicely, LST training and topped. Looking good so far. Going to slowely lollypop the lower 6" for additional cuttings. Don't have room right now.


Transplanted Casey Jones in Grodan blocks, fully rooted into the 6" cubes, there must be tons of roots and the plants have barely grown. I'm hoping they'll explode with growth soon!


Alaskan Thunder Fuck clone just transplanted into 4" block.


Chemdawg 3 mom, very healthy and I topped about 2 weeks ago.


Veg area, cloning rack on bottom, moms and others on top. So far, so good!


Chemdawg cutting I FIM'd 2 days ago. Growing already.


XJ-13 cutting growing really fast! LST training and will transplant to a 5 gallon geopot tomorrow. True sativa with long skinny leaves.


Got rid of the duct tape and got a 6" to 4" reducer and clamps. Much better, alot quieter!

The 4 CJ plants next to each other, CJ number 3 is turning purple!




Grand Daddy Purple, really changing color now!


Thanks everyone!
