week 3, not much to be said, the plants are growing good. the bombs are the smaller plants (kinda fucked up transplanting to late, but were still good). i put them back on a 20/4 light cycle and were going to get more lights real soon. and i'm going to get some root growing solution for topping the plants and using the tops for clones, any one know of a good root growing solution????

buds look good Zieg, clones too!

Up until this last time cloning I used Clonex gel with good results. Clones rooted really fast (3 days - 1 week). This time I used a powder called Rootone. It's much less expensive than Clonex and it took the clones longer to root (2 weeks) but I like the way the clones remained way healthier throughout the process. And so far the healthier clones I took with the Rootone have been growing way faster overall than others I've used Clonex with.

I also always use Rapid Rooter plugs.

Week 10:

Roughly two more weeks until harvest!

The bigger girls are starting to get a little scraggley. Yellowing of the leaves and such, but I'm thinking that might be kind of normal at this stage.

The biggest change you'll see in the pics is I moved the runt over with the clones since they reached about the same height. She is going to be an interesting one. There is actually quite a bit of bud on her for her size and it is rock-hard dense. The really crazy part is how sticky she is, not just on the buds but everywhere. It's almost syrupy.

I'm thinking we might hold off on harvesting her an extra little bit. Her hairs aren't really changing yet and I think she might benefit from an extra week. But, then, all that might change over the next couple of weeks.

the plants have really took off, the bombs are the smaller ones. I topped the mids because they were growing too big, we're probably going to make another room to put them into flowering in a couple weeks. the tallest mids plant is 14" the smallest at 7" (but there's 2 plants there) and all the THCBombs are at 7" too. we moved rooms as well, its smaller and covered with shiny insulation for better lighting. oh and i took the tops and put them in water cause i never bought rooting solution but i don't care if they take or not, it's the bombs I'm after.

hey zieg, i know its hard to tell but how much you think you'll get out of them??:weed:

There's no way of knowing what they end up at but right now I'd say it looks like there's about 5 oz all together. roughly 2ish on each of the big girls and one on the runt. Of course I'm hoping that'll improve before harvest. :hug:

So, I've seen fan leaves turn yellow and get droopy and crappy looking towards the end of flowering before but now one of the THC Bomb's leaves have started turning purple. Check out the pic below. What could be causing this? Is it normal?

The temps do get a little low at night. I'll see if there's something I can do to keep them higher. The electric heater is blocked off and we need to keep the door closed to keep it dark.

Thanks!

whats the lowest it goes to?

I checked the history on my thermometer (it tracks the highest and lowest temps) and it said the lowest it's gotten was 61 which should be within an acceptable range but then my wife pointed out the plant with the damage is the one that was closest to the fan. So now we've got the fan off.

haha well thats some good looking out your wife did. the fan could drop the temp in the immediate area around it by a couple degrees and it can also cause stress itself if its hitting the plant directly at a high speed.

Yeah, fans are tricky. I keep reading that plants need airflow and I learned fast that they don't like a direct wind.

Then I caught on that they don't even seem to like a light breeze.

Come to think of it, it just seems like every time I turn on a fan in the same room as a plant it wilts. ;)

Week 11:

Not much new. The colas on the bigger two have gotten heavy enough that they are pulling the whole plants down. On the heavier one I've actually had to tie it up.

The first pics are of the clones. The effects of the Hydrolux are remarkable. There are a couple of them that I've also needed to tie up they are so top heavy and they've only just begun to bud.

Week 12:

Over half of the pistols have turned red, but other than that there hasn't been a lot of growth this week. So, we're switching them to straight ph balanced water to start to rinse for harvest next Friday-ish.
