3 out of seven killed in drive by scissor cutting.

Nothing has changed except for the fact that I am seeing how close I can get the lights without burning them.

I have been moving the about a half an inch to an inch a day I decided to them a little closer..
They are probally right at 2" away now (CFL'S)
The zip ties worked great. (thanks recvry)
It is much easier to adjust alittle or a lot.

Now I like to move them 2-3 times during the lights on cycle to keep the lights as close to the tops as possible...

I figure atleast another 5 weeks in flower. They have only been budding for about 3 weeks..

My mother seems to be starting new growth.
Hopefully I pulled her out of flowering soon enough for it not to be too hard to get her to switch back to veg for clones.

I am trying to decide where I can put my clones and where to put the tub for the dwc.
I think I am going with 4 planters in the tub so that they have plenty of room.

Happy growing

Click to expand...

Glad to see it worked out well for you!

Only news is good news.
I have not done a damn thing since the last post.

I have been keeping my clone mother in their with the other 3 females during the 12hr light and pulling her and putting her in the bathroom for light during the timed dark cycle.
I am actually glad I waited.
The clone mother is looking like she is ready to have a litter of clones.
I think I could probally get 8o or 9 right now.
I think I will hold for close to another week.
This time next weedend I think I will have atleast 4 if not 6 clones going.

I have decided that all I need is a tray or plastic box to hold the clones. Maybe a cooler..
Then I can transport them and keep them along with the mother.

I have been trying to figure out what else to do.
I decided that I do not want to put up another set of lights just for the mother and clones.

As far as going hydro or dwc I have decide to wait and slow things up a bit.
I am sure that I will do atleast 3 maybe 4 in hydro when they are rooted.
I fugure I would still like to have atleast 2 in soil though.

I guess it all depends on how long I flower my 3 girls.

I do not really want to over do it to much.
I have no intention of selling any I just want to have a replenishing supply every 3-4 weeks from now on.
I suppose these problems will solve themselves through time.

Happy growing

So I lied.

I went ahead and took 2 clones.
This is really an expirement to see what it is going to take.

I cut them at a 45 degree angle.
I chopped them from the bottom of the mother.
These branches had to have been 11-13" long.
I took my clones from the top halves of those 2 branches.
I cut off the lower set of fan leaves since they would be underwater otherwise.
I cut some of the top node fan leaves in half.

I will place the clones in a black cup that I have that has a lid.

I shook up my h20 that has been setting at room temp for 3 days.

I put 2 drops of molasses in and shook vigourously.
I added maybe a tsp of my potting soil.
Seems like one of the fan leaves fell down in there also.
I put this under the sink with a mason jar of water right beside it.
I plan on putting the black cup with the 2 clones in it on a shelf opposite my window.
This way it will be like 8 ft away from a window and have minimal light..

Don't worry I will be changing the water in the morning and probally daily after that.
I may try to pick up some rooting hormone tommorow.

I will be getting either peat pellets or rockwool.
whatever I can find when I get the rooting hormone..

As soon as I can get clones rooting I will start taking alot more.

I have decided that as long as I take my time this mother can give multiple clones.

I may have to end up giving some of them away.
At this rate I will be doing good to keep up with her to keep her stealth.

May your buds be big.
As I will it so mote it be.

This site has done tremendous things for my little forrest of spinach.

Ok I found this in growfaq.

https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=42

and this one

https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=196

Looks like I will be making alist and going to wallyworld and whatever else tommorow.

I already have a rubbermaid tub.
This tub is huge though.
I was going to use it for a veg/flower hydro.
If I can find a cheap smaller tub I will go ahead and get it just for clones.

Pump 9.99
2 Air Stones @ 2.50 ea.

I wonder about the temp of the tub.
I might have to get an aquarium heater.
I do not think they are much. probally less than 15.00

I guess we will just have to see.

Alright, I have decided smoking good herb while growing it tends to put an advanced level of procrastination into the mix.

I found me a good small bubble clone bucket/
It is a large Folger's coffee ruber tub.

I have not bought my airpump or stones yet.
I decided to hold up.
I was really high my last post.

I figure I can get 6-8 clones in this bubble tub.
Where I got this Idea it says that you can have roots in 7-9 ds.
I decided that is too soon.
I have 2 clones that I took a few ds ago.
They are doing great.
They have not wilted or drooped once. I was amazed.
This must mean the mom is healthy.

I got up this am and feed my plants a full meal
I started out with 1/4 bloom nutes at week 2 flower.
It is now 3 1/2 weeks and I am up to full strength.
I must say they are loving this stuff.
Apparently Miracle gro nutes do work if precaution is used.

I plan to wait another week or two before I start anymore clones.

Since I have limited space I want my flowering plants to be on their last leg of the flower cycle before I start all these clones going.

I think I have atleast another 4-5 weeks on this batch o' buds.
I could probally harvest sooner.
I just want maximum quality and quanity.

It will be five weeks in flower this coming Monday.
The buds are looking great. The top colas are looking really nice.
They probably range from 3"-5" in diameter and 4-7" long.
The smaller popcorn buds are what are suprising me.
I have been using side lighting.

I have not watered or gave them anything sense the last feeding.

Per my moisture meter they are still half wet.
I am thinking tommorow or Sunday will probably be their next feeding.

I took 4 clones several days ago.
I have them in water so they can root by osmosis.
They seem to be doing really well.

The clone mom looks like she is in contraction.
I decided to lst her so she will be closer to the height of the clones.

Oh yeah I have been able to set them outside for 5 hours a day when the Sun is the brightest.
They seem to be loving this.

I am not worried about bugs since the Orkin man comes reguarly and they are 4ft away from any vegetation sitting on concrete.

I got me some fruit safe bug killer spray just in case.
I don't mess around/\\
LOL
At least I try not to.

Happy growing

he he he he he eh eheheheeheheheeheh

I think I found a good exhaust fan.
I have my pc fan at bottom exhausting air and a 8" on high up top taking air in.

My pc fan runs off of 12v.

I was just checking the coolants in the old gm and I got to thinking about the radiator fan.
I could get one dirt cheap at local junk yard.
They run off of 12v

Yup
Diy fo the broke and unemployed.

how would u power that 12v fan? U plan on running on car batteries? wassup wit some pix?

No the pc fan is 12v
I will just run it paralell with it.

I got the 12v power supply from an old electric razor...

Alrighty then.

I have 3 very nice plants budding.
Today is their fith week flowering anniversary.
I decided to go buy some beer since it is Mem day and My weeds bday.

Keep in mind I do not really drink very often anymore.
I must be getting old.
Weed is the only thing I can do and function to the fullest.


The buds are just starting to get red hairs.
I am saying maybe 3-4 more weeks (I hope) and they will be ready to be put to sleep.

Out of my 4 clones 2 have roots starting to sprout out.
I plan to plant them once the roots are about 1/2" long.

I will take 4-6 more clones once the 1st set are in the dirt.
The mother is looking really nice.
The second set are going to go in a bubbler with root hormone.
They will then go to a dwc.

I wish I could take pics.
My camera on my phone does not work anymore.

I might be able to get some pics by borrowing a cam sometime between now and the harvest.

Cheers and bong hits all around.

excellent grow, keep it up

Peace

So I thought I would do an update since I am up so early.
My roommate just started working again.
I may be working again here in a few days.
Things are supposedly looking good for them to hire me as well.
I sure as hell hope so.
I have gone beyond the point of being bored.
I have been outta work for 10 months.

Now back to the plants.
I could see red haris starting on the plants yesterday.
I can see several more this morning.
At this rate they may very well be ready in 3-4 weeks.
I think it is the sunlight they are getting for about 4-5 hours a day.
Oh yeah damn, If I get this job I will be at work for the 4-5 hours of sunlight.

The mother looks marvelous. ( I thought about getting her some costume jewlery j/k)

The clones look like they will be ready for the soil in about 3-4 ds.
All 4 have roots and the 1 that started rooting first is at about 1/4" in length now (root).
I can definately see where a bubbler and root hormone would speed the rooting up tremendously.

Here is a swig of coffee and a bong hit to Rollitup and all it's glory.

Any questions, comments, or replys?

yea, why have u been outta work for 10 months? what kinda work do ya do?
Im an electrician and been outta work for about 7 months, well actually i never worked IN the field, but I graduated from the electrician technical program about 9 months ago and havent put the degree to use yet. I cant even seem to find work outside of my degree either..what about you?

sorry for the rant, but I dunno, I thought U were kinda in the same boat as me..just nice to know im not alone out here.

edit: Im thinking about going back to school to study plants and develop the next big medical miracle with marijuana..maybe some type of engineer? biomedical or chemical maybe? but I gotta get a job in order to pay my bills and get my credit straight, then I'll do that stuff.

"All I wanna do is develop my herbal in a real lab, and get some head while Im doing it...feel me?"

How High? method man and red man//
I seen that the other day.

Yeah I got in some trouble some years ago.
I got a felony for a gun law violation.
This July will have been seven years since that happened.
My last job was with a phone company doing customer service.
I did that job for 3 years prior to the last 10 mo's.

Before that I had bs jobs here and there since I got in trouble.

I have been going to school on and off since I graduated high school.
I started the Radiology program last sem.
It seems pretty cool.
I think I can finish it up in less than 2 years if I work hard at it.

I was going for associate in science but the chemistry got me.
If I can finish Chem II I will also have an associate in science.

I think I might have a job doing customer service again.
I hope to hear something here in a few days.

Most companies will not even consider you with a felony.

People talk about piss tests.
I have to worry about background checks and piss tests.

The job I am hoping to get does not do either.
My roommate just started working for them.

Heres hoping

I clipped a top.
It was only about 1/16".
It got me high but not stonned like the weed these seeds came from.
Obviously they have still got some maturing to do.

The only reason I clipped it is because I ran out of my regular stock.
I am waiting.
My dealer is a girl.
That is seriously some shit.
Have you ever had to wait on a girl.

Just imagine a girl dealer.
Whew.
It takes all I can to keep my composure when I get a text saying that she is shopping.
I think I f'd up a little.
A friend tried to hook us up a while back.
I decided not to go for it.
She can deffinately be a bitch sometimes.

I would hate to loose a weed connect to a disgruntled cunt. (if we did date and then broke up)

No offense to any females reading this.

yeah how high is my shit. I just downloaded it off of bittorrent the other day, gotta unzip it then straight to a DVD-R it goes

lol my girl connect has been out since christmas so i know how that is lol...

y not just finish up the chemistry? its just one class. I was acutally gonna get my ass. of science degree and then continue with a BA in electrical engineering a few years back, I got thru english and algebra then the electrician school told me it would take under a year to get that degree so i went for it.

I was gonna go for radiology, till I learned they only work 24-25hrs per week..and that was considered FULL TIME to them..if i have something that gives me 40hrs that will pull me away from growing and help me accomplish everything i need to do to get back on my feet. but I hope that works out for ya, and I hope you get that call U've been waiting for.

what method did U use to quick dry that sample smoke?

Microwave..........................

Ok the plants really seem to like the side lighting.
The lower buds seem to really be bulking up.
I am noticing more and more red hairs.

One of the colas has several red hairs.
I decided these are white hairs that are dying or drying up due to maturity.

The one cola with more red may be because I have the lights really close.
I am trying to maintain a constant 2" distance from the plant to the light.

All four clones were ready to go into soil today.
They all had little white root hairs ranging from 1/16th"-1/4".
I potted them in medium sized vitamin and tylenol plastic bottles.
I also put all 4 bottles in a tupper ware container to monitor the h2o drainage.
I did soak the soil right after planting them.

I also took 4 more clones.
This new set were much more mature.

So at this rate I will have 8 female clones ready to veg for 3-4 weeks and go into flower after the 3 budding plants are harvested.

After 3-4 days I will set the clones under 21" fluro 15w purple grow lights for 3 - 4 weeks and then to the flowering.

Happy growing

I was chillin wit my buds (my plants) smoking a bong.
I do not worry about the smoke since my closet could be used as a wind tunnel to test aerodynamics.
I have a chair and I can sit about 2ft away from them and talk to them while I am getting high.


Oh yeah back to the subject.
I have a rather large rubermaid tool box.

I have been trying to figure out what I want to do with the clones.
I want them to have the light they need and I need my other plants to get only 12 hrs light.

Apparently this thing is water tight below the lid inside.
Ok while editing I thought of something.
The plants have a shelf about 3 ft above the lights.
I am going to try to stop and light leaks from coming out of the tool box when I put lights in the lid.
I figure I can put 2-3 computer fans in it.
Seems like it would work for several clones if the pots are small enough.
I was thinking of using those little black plastic trays that have several mini pots conjoined.
They seem like they would be a step up in size from the containers they are in now..
I also think I seen mini green plastic potters at the store.

Anyway that is about as far as I got.
I wanted to write it down before my mind went somewhere else.
I'll be back with more info later.
