Hey Thomdel! She is looking really good, guess these bagseeds are worth what I paid for them! :P Will be keeping an eye on your thread *hint hint* to see how she grows up compared to her sisters.

Alright I won't hijack your thread too hard and I'll make my own at some point :D. Probably looking to have a box set-up by the end of this week. Definitely will be pictures and the works as soon as she's done.
 
Beauties dabupp! how many weeks into flowering are those girls? Thom looks like those bagseed will do ya well. With any luck they'll be lookin like Dab's in no time.

Looking good! I'm not a fan of having CFL's in a fixed position above your plants though. In order to get the maximum resultrs from them you need to be able to move them around and get them as close to your buds as possible.

Your plant looks like it's coming along nicely though.

Hey StopDropRoll, they were two weeks flowering at 07/08, so just about 3 weeks now. I am hoping to harvest at the end of August, though this is really just a guess at this point. And Thomdel's seed is actually from the same bagseed mine is, so hopefully his turns out the same (and a girl!).

Hey Stumpjumper, I know exactly what you mean. In the earlier stages of my grow I had them clipped to the sides of the pots surrounding the plants. I am working with very limited space and don't have enough room for the bulbs to even fit around both plants anymore, and as such I have just hung them uptop. I have LST'd to get it so that all the foliage is mainly a single canopy, that was the best I could do. Hopefully I will be moving to a new apartment soon, where I will have more space to do exactly what you said. :)

Just a bit of an update, the bigger plant was still showing some signs of burning so I flushed it more completely this time. I do not think it will be a problem, I just want the new growth to stop showing signs of burning. I got really good runoff this time so I imagine the issue will be resolved after this. Hopefully more pictures soon! The bud grows noticeable bigger every day, its awesome!

Update: Small clone rooted I believe! I stuck my fingers underneath the one node, and tugged a bit without it budging at all. I have never packed it into the dirt hard, so I take that as roots. She's really perked up too within the last 8 hours, bending her leaves towards the light. I hope I am right! :)

So just a general update. The little clone probably grew a good 1/2 inch - 1 inch over the course of the day. I'll take that as rooted. :D Both clones seem to be doing great, and seem to be ahead of schedule from what I expected. Fast rooting pheno I suppose, especially Ms. Tall. Ms. Short is doing great herself, with her buds getting alot more trichomes packed on every day. Ms. Tall I am still having a bit of a burn issue, and it seems to be eating some of its own leaves that are currently covering the LST'd Cola. I need to give it a day or two to recover from the latest flush before I try to diagnose anything. Her buds are still growing pretty rapidly though so I am not worrying too much.

Congrats on the little girl takin root!
Thanks Cotton, I'm glad that my first 2 clone attempts ever resulted in success!

Sounds like it's rooted!
I am pretty certain today after having seen it that she is rooted. Sadly, I do not have the lights I really need to be able to have a flower room and a veg room. They are in the grow room during lights on, and get moved under 2 x 23w CFL's during lights off. Not the best but it will have to do.

congrats on the clones!! lookinn foward to seeing your girls with a full bill of health!!!
Hey stoneyluv, thanks for stopping around again. I agree, I would love to have my girls with a full bill of health! Ms. Small has always been in good health, while Ms. Tall has been a bit of a struggle. I do not know why, her Pheno is not only faster growing and more lanky, but appears to be more touchy (as I nuted them the same). Oh well, she is still coming along rather nicely.

Just a general update. Buds are starting to get pretty frosty! My last watering I used a very diluted solution of Superthrive, Molasses, and Bloom Booster. Maybe like, 1/8 -> 1/4 concentration. Leaning towards the 1/8th side. I trimmed some parts off Ms. Tall that did not recover from the nute burn, I also had to LST another 3 of her nodes because she was growing into the lights. She just will not stop! >< Other than that clones and Ms. Small are doing great. Hopefully I will have pictures soon! :)

Update time! Plants are doing pretty good. Ms. Small is really coming along nicely, and has a nice thick cola that she seems to be putting most of her effort into. Very packed with trichomes! :) :) Ms. Tall on the other hand is still showing lingering signs of nute burn, but has alot more actual bud spots than Ms. Short. Buds are growing bigger on her as well, much looser though from the looks of it.

The clones are doing fantastic! Though, there is some stretching going on since I can't get the lights as close as I would like due to limited room. Ms. Tall's Clone is up to 4 nodes, and Ms. Shorts is up to 2 nodes and both are showing rapid new growth. Soon you will all get pictures! :)

Hey everyone. Sorry for no updates recently, I am moving out of my apartment this weekend and it has been taking up all my time. On a good note though, I just got a Sensation 4G so I will actually be able to take some decent pictures repetitively now :) Expect me back in force on this thread from Sunday onward.
