Thanks Holy and Zombie.

I actually just went away from the fox farms trio and started feeding the happy frog fruit and bloom with EWC teas. Will see if she continues to like it this way, so far so good but still have 40-50 days to go.

I also broke my pH pen but I think the dolomite is keeping things in check. I ordered another, but who knows when it will get here from Hong Kong (didn't realize where it was shipping from until after I ordered).

I've never seen their products where I am, but I looked online at the ratio which I think is 5-8-4 and will be comparing that in general to what I can possibly get my hands on. The only popular organic stuff where I am is biobizz line and there's way too many products to buy. Great job, plant looks mighty fine for sure, a combo of *all* the factors you are providing.

Yeah, its organic and 5-8-4. Seems to work well. Also using earth worm casting and blackstrap molasses in a tea. I think just good genetics, these clones from the dispensaries have done really well for me and they are pretty cheap.

Been struggling with the clone I took from her. Not really a problem, since I was really hoping to run some of the seeds I just bought to have a go at mainlining. If the clone doesn't perk up by the beginning of next week, I will just pull her and drop a seed in the container.

Don't feel bad re clones. My 2 I took from my plant as it was flowering were tiny and I threw them out last night. I took 3 more cuts now (from even later flowering) because I have no choice :/ The extremely long time 12+ days it is taking the clones from flowering plant to root is difficult for me to deal with, I struggle to keep these tiny clones healthy for that long. I suck :)

I dont get it, I just put them in a cup with water, had no expectations of them doing anything really, then they got roots. I put one in some soil and left the other to see if would grow some more and within a couple days they both get totally wilted and look like total shit. I hadn't planned on them making it, but then they got my hopes up for just long enough to crush them lol.

On one hand, it wouldn't suck to keep a little mother going at least until I can get an early sample of how she smokes. On the other hand, I have such a small grow space and enough seeds and clones from the dispensaries to keep me busy for a looooong ass time.

Heh. The only one I got to work was my 1st, and I slew it by topping at the second node, was dead 2 days later. The other 2 turned to yellow stem mush without even rooting. Master cloner I clearly will not be ;) Look fwd to your next updates on the plant.

Thanks dfl and herk. No she smells skunky rank, recently adding in a tinge of citrus. Only 25 days in and she is packing on the weight nicely, I do love the shimmering crystals.

So I think I figured out my baby clone problem, when I put her directly under the 42w CFL her leaves started yellowing something fierce and getting very droopy. I think it was too much light for her roots yet and it triggered her to try to focus on top growth instead of root development, the roots are not ready to sustain the top so I put her back in my grow box overnight (under the canopy) and will have her in my window during the day. Already perked up, any suggestions on this lil one?:

Momma is doing great, tops are exploding packing on weight and crystals :)
