Today marks the end date of what I like to call week zero of flower....as well as day one for clones cut from the four ladies. Past week seemed like a breeze...kept flower tent with 1k watt Hps at 65-76 with no problems...no sign of bugs and my 12/12 seeds popped. Feeling pretty confident about these...they kinda remind me of the golden girls. Lol

Forgot to add that I used thrive alive b-1, and a very small amount of great white mycorrhizae in a 1 gallon bottle of p.h.'d water. Lightly soaked mini rockwool cubes then dipped cuttings into rootech cloning gel then placed in cubes sprayed the dome lid and foliage and placed under one of my 300 watt cfl's.....should see roots within 7-10 days (normally)...

Yah first round with any plant is alway a learning experience. You going to throw some more plants in there? I quit messing with my PH at the start of my last grow and went full organic and have been having better results since. I was all freaked out about doing it so I checked the runoff of my plants halfway through and they were all on point so I just don't worry about it now.

Yea...im going to add the 8 clones I cut recently...2 of each of the four. I use the ph down cuz the water we have up hear is at 8.5...I drop to 6.5 and my runoff sits at between 6.8-7.0. I plan on switching to all organic once im done with these nutes...(bought more then I had intended but last 2 grows with it came out pretty good)

I feel ya i still have a little pure blend pro sitting around in case money gets tight and I run out of organicare. The pbp was throwing my PH really low so if I use that then I definitely do have to check the ph. Thats cool so you are getting something of a perpetual started?

Yup...I had a pretty nice perpetual grow going before this starting over thread (hence the name) I plan on keeping 1 clone from each after my next 8 enter the flowering room and I cut for the following batch...so I don't run into the same problem...im trying to get them to harvest closer together then my previous perpetual grow...

I know what you mean I always space mine too far apart. between losing a whole crop to some mutant mold or something, shutting down my room to upgrade, and having to delay flower times due to landlords it has been less of a perpetual and more of learning experience lol.

Believe me, I have had Soo many set backs in the past I've even sold every last piece of equipment and called it quits....but I learned I can't have anybody directly involved with my grows that don't know shit about growing but feel it shouldn't be taking as long as it is, but have no problem smoking up to an oz or better from the end results just to turn around and bitch because there's not enough left for the light bill...(didn't mean to go there but dumb people piss me off to no end)....but anyways how are things in your neck of the woods? Are those wonder womens looking better? How was your move?

Haven't moved quite yet thanks for asking though. 3/4 wonders are looking really nice, one has a little yellowing but I am lucky that is all that is going on. Been there done that lol. I financed a 12 plant 1000 watt grow before for my friend (permits,lights,clones,nutes,electric) and all I asked for is half expenses and half the harvest in return and he could be on his own from there. Turned out to be a nightmare because he wasn't worried about pest control or hermies and he almost screwed me and we ended up not talking for awhile.

The down side of growing I guess...just best to go it alone or with significant other....just me my wife and riu from now on...I would love to try some of that wonder women, did you order them as seeds? I've seen some on attitude seed bank...

I should have gotten them from attitude but I got them from a guy who used to have great looking clones and these were terrible. The roots looked really good but idk I think they had mites or something they were just fucked. Nursed them back and they look a little happier now. I do still bring clones in occasionally but they come from a very well known safe source in the area instead. The one complaint I have with the wonders are the smell is slightly generic. Less skunk than I would have thought and more of a light candy/generic weed smell. The KC is what I am really excited about. Hows your djs bb? I expected so much more out of mine. Must have gotten a bad cut.

Aww...probably not but 4-5 grows back I went threw this plant revival phase...were any and all the plants I had going at the time were givin to me in terrible condition but threw reading my cannabis bible and info I'd get from sites like this, I managed to revive them enough to at least allow them to finish there cycle...my bb looks pretty crazy at the moment, growing in all directions but leaving the center kinda empty...looks like the tentacles of an octopus or something...never grew her before but very curious to see how she finishes...my mars candy is dominating when it comes to smell, it smells like a Hersheys chocolate bar in the tent...
