In a way... Sometimes you have no control over things that could alter your life. I'm still waiting to find out what will happen.

Hang loose. I'm about to reopen it.

Right on, my man. I'm just glad to know you're okay.

Chances are that if anything, you'll get a knock at the door with Johnny Law asking to talk to you. Don't let them in and I'm sure you know what to do after that happens.

Good news, guys!

Emmy and Violet are starting to take a turn for the better. They are getting greener by the day and their roots are looking much better than three days ago. Although nowhere near as good as the roots on Emmy's clones. They are simply the most beautiful roots that I have seen in person.

I think the best thing that I did to help them was refurbishing the airstones. I scraped about a quarter inch off of the tops of the stones with a strong pocket knife (now a dull pocket knife). Lots of bubbles everywhere now. The fucked part about having to do it is that 2/5 of my airstones are less than a month old and they already had to be "resurfaced."

Anyway... wish I had more to tell you guys. And a better camera... I can't get shots worth a damn anywhere near that HPS.

I'm glad they're doing better!

Your avi makes me want to say GO Longhorns!!! Then I remember how they've made my Buckeye's look in the last few games, and I have to give you 1 of these! haha jk!!

Speaking of the Buckeyes... way to get beat by a true freshman QB! jk

But in all seriousness... what happened to the Big Ten?

Good question.... I think they beat the shit out of each other all year and are running on empty by the end. They haven't truly competed outside the Big10 in a few years. I'm hoping for better results than last year, but I don't have my hopes to high. But we always have the Browns and Bangles to root for.

Well if it is any consolation I do remember the days of John Mackovick as head coach at Texas. I especially remember my dad yelling "fuck you Mackovick!" over and over at the games.

As good of a coach Jim Tressel is, it may be time for some new blood in Columbus.

Maybe it is. If it happens I hope it goes better then it did for Mich last year... I don't pay much attention to the politics of it all. I just like to watch football!! But that might be from living with football in OH. I played in school for a couple years, Then realized I didn't have the right last name to considered for a starting position. Even though when I was a freshman I was 6'1" just under 170 lbs and could throw on target 50 yards away. Oh well I'm happy as "hippie", as most people call me.

Shit man, as a fish I was 6'0" 195lbs. Believe it or not I played tennis, although the football coaches begged me to play. Too much practice and I wasn't that into football then. I went to two two-a-days and said "fuck that."

I'm a skinny pup now... 6'1" 175... it's crazy to weigh less than I did 16 years ago!

I was the always one the tallest and skinniest kids around. My best example is in 6th grade I was 5'6" and weighed in at a whopping 95lbs. I put on a little more weight as I got older but not ever much mass. By the time I graduated I was 6'4" and still about 170. I stayed like that until a few years ago when I took an "extended vacation" from my job, and spent a year installing and cleaning septic systems. Let me tell ya that a shitty job.

Are you a Michigan fan? If that is so, you should hate Texas too... don't you remember the Rose Bowl of 2005?

It's all good (butters)!! The only reason I'm an OSU fan is because I was born and raised here. I'm not a die hard fan in anyway.

I actually live and work just a few minutes from MI. Work with a lot of people and have family there. A little history lesson for ya. In the 1800's the malitia's from OH and MI were going to fight over the area I live in "The Black Swamp". They both made it about half way and decided it wasn't worth it and turned around. Leaving the state border were it was. Hence the original "border battle".

LOL, you had to be crying Thursday night going into the 4th with a 12-0 lead and then losing 27-12.

ANYWAY.... UPDATE TIME!!!

Here's Emmy and Violet at about 4.5 weeks into 12/12... I'm not expecting a great yield off of them





And here's the five clones of Emerald at about 1.5 weeks of 12/12




And here's the mommies (Emmy mom on the left and Violet on the right)



And here's 4 clones of Violet to go into 12/12 a week from tomorrow



The whole vegbox

It looks like my three week window to get clones rooted and veg them is just about perfect. The clones are almost hitting the lights exactly 3 weeks since cutting them from momma.

This third batch is gonna have to go in today, one week early. And by the time next monday rolls around there should be plenty of cuttings available on the moms.

This is really starting to become work though.

To bad about E & V.. The clones are looking great though!!

Yep... too bad. I tried one more thing though. The roots of both plants were just a tangled mess (and tangled to each other). Emerald had an explosion of new root growth about 5 days ago, Violet did not. So, I decided to trim the bottom halves of both their root systems off and added some root stimulator to the res.

The root mass was so tangled there was no way the plants were getting what they needed. In fact, once I started pulling it all apart everything in the middle of the mass was brown.

This doesn't look like it will be an issue with the clones. Their root systems are so much smaller than E&V. And I also pull them out of the res once a day to keep them from getting tangled.

Violet is putting some new whites out now, so all should be well.

Ok, so for the past few posts I have had Emerald and Violet's well-being confused. Emerald is the one doing so poorly, not Violet. So I guess Violet is the stronger of the two phenotypes, and she also possesses tighter node spacing and stretches less. However, the 5 clones of Emerald at 14 days of 12/12 are simply gorgeous.

I had to move the four remaining clones of Violet into the flower tent today or they were going to burn themselves on the lights if I left them in the veg cabinet. I'm going to let them drink up most of what's left of their veg nutes and switch them over to my flower mix in a couple of days.

So here's some pics...

Temps and humidity are in line... can't you see it's been raining a lot here lately? 70% RH high



Violet is looking better every day


Emerald is not faring so well hopefully the root trimming will work, she's already putting down a few new whites since the trim



A decent close-up of one of the clones at 14 days flower



Group photo of the 5 clones at 14 days flower



And a couple of group photos, in the middle are the 4 clones of Violet at about 15 minutes of 12/12 LOL




And my two geishas (bonsai mommies)

Ouch Emerald isn't looking to hot. You're probably not gonna get much off of her. How much living foliage is left on her? You might be better off just removing her to provide more light and space for Violet.
